Maybe it's been a long time since I returned to Yaoming Palace, or maybe it's the dark moon and high wind. Tiger King followed Gu Shakong, constantly looking around, and found that the western boundary of Zhanzhou in the South China Sea was slightly different from what he remembered.
Just think about it for a moment and you will understand. As one of the five beast kings, he walked in and out of the Demon Underworld Hall with great swagger. Why did he have to choose a small road to avoid the patrolling spirits of Qingyun Village like today? Therefore, being suddenly led by Gu Shakong to walk on a remote path was naturally not familiar to him.
By midnight, due to their advanced cultivation and extremely fast speed, the two of them had traveled hundreds of miles. When he arrived here, King Tiger looked at the gradually familiar scenery around him and knew that he had entered the hinterland of Yaoming Palace.
Gu Shakong slowed down and said: "King Tiger, when we get here, you can probably tell that we will be able to enter Danchan Mountain before dawn at most."
"Yes." Tiger King stopped and said, "Is the Dan Demon ready to let us in smoothly? I heard that there are three guardians in Dan Chan Mountain, but the North Pluto is specially sent to monitor the Dan Chan. of."
Gu Shakong took out the medicine bottle, poured out two pills to replenish spiritual energy, swallowed one pill himself, and handed another to King Tiger: "Don't worry, King Tiger. Uncle Master has already prepared it. I can definitely hide it from the three guardians."
"That's good." King Tiger put the elixir into his mouth, and immediately felt a large amount of spiritual energy overflowing from the elixir, replenishing the spiritual energy he had consumed in the rush.
"Let's go." Feeling that his spiritual energy had recovered a lot, Tiger King urged Gu Shakong to continue on his way, trying to reach Danchan Mountain earlier before dawn.
However, before the two of them were ready to increase their speed, Gu Shakong, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his arm and said softly: "It seems that someone is coming! King Tiger, let's find a place to hide first."
"Okay." King Tiger thought that the patrolling Qingyun Village spirits were passing by and were about to find a place to hide nearby. But I saw Gu Shakong exclaimed again: "No! Why do I feel that the person's aura... seems to be my uncle!"
"Alchemy Demon?" King Tiger immediately stopped and carefully released his spiritual energy. As expected, he found an unusually powerful, yet slightly unfamiliar aura coming from the direction of Gu Shakong's finger.
Speaking of which, when the Tiger King was in the Demon Hades Palace earlier, he had no good impression of the Dan Demon because he belonged to the North Pluto King. Every time they meet, they treat each other coldly and don't have much interaction. Of course, they can't judge the aura of the Dan Demon.
"That's not right." The Tiger King said after feeling it for a moment: "If the person coming is the Dan Demon... why do I feel that there are two people following him?"
Gu Shakong's cultivation level was slightly inferior to that of the Tiger King, and the strong man who was suspected of being a pill demon was in front of him. As a result, Gu Shakong failed to notice in time that there were two people following him.
"..." Gu Shakong closed his eyes and felt for a moment, then laughed and said: "King Tiger, the person coming is none other than my uncle Dan Mo! As for the two people behind, one is Fairy Chang He. What about the other person... …You’ll know when you see it.”
"Really?" King Tiger also discovered from his own aura that what Gu Shakong said was true. Among the two people who followed the Dan Demon, one of them was indeed Fairy Chang He. And the remaining one... Tiger King suddenly exclaimed, then shook his head in disbelief and said: "Brother Gusha Kong, do you think he is... impossible! Impossible!"
Gu Shakong greeted the three Dan Demons and said with a smile: "Tiger King, yes or no, you will know as soon as you see him."
With three parts of surprise and seven parts of disbelief, the Tiger King followed closely behind Gu Shakong and flew quickly towards the location of the Dan Demon.
The sound of the ancient sand air condensed into a line, and he shouted in a low voice: "Uncle Master, Fairy Chang He, the Tiger King and I are here!"
After calling several times, the Alchemy Demon finally responded: "Nephew of the Ancient Master, stay where you are with King Tiger. We will come right away."
Gu Shakong and Tiger King stopped and found a hiding place nearby. Just as he stabilized his steps, he saw the Dan Demon already appearing in front of him.
"Uncle Master, we are here!" Gu Shakong waved his hand, and after Alchemy clearly saw where the two of them were through the moonlight, he flew close to them.
After King Tiger confirmed that the person coming was the Dan Demon, he immediately looked behind him. Fairy Chang He, dressed in green and green clothes, was seen following closely behind. When the last person revealed his true appearance, King Tiger finally couldn't hold back his surprise.
"Ba Xie! How did you...how did you..."
"Hahaha..." Ba Xilang laughed a few times, then coughed violently. It was obvious that he had not fully recovered because all his spiritual energy was sucked by the man in black when he was ashamed of Jiangshan.
After calming down for a few moments, Ba Xie smiled and said, "It seems that the fact that I, Ba Xie, died at the hands of the man in black has been hidden from everyone."
The Tiger King quickly pulled Ba Xi's arm, looked up and down, and then saw Dan Mo, Gu Sha Kong, and Fairy Chang He all smiling, and couldn't wait to ask: "This... what is going on! Mu Jingyu and Princess Bi Yun saw you die of old age in the Wei River Mountain with their own eyes. Princess Bi Yun was very sad at that time! Could it be that... Could it be that the person who died at that time was not you, Elder Ba Xie, but someone else? Are you here?"
"It is indeed me." Ba Xie pointed at Dan Mo and Gu Shakong and said, "At that time, if Dan Mo and Gu Master Nephew hadn't rescued me, I would have really died!"
"What happened in the middle? Why did you appear in Weijiangshan? How were you killed by the man in black? How did brothers Dan Mo and Gu Shakong come to rescue you? Since you are not dead, Why not show up and pretend to be dead?"
Tiger King asked several questions in succession. There was nothing he could do about it. He was so shocked that Ba Xie was still alive. And he also had a vague feeling that the reason why he wanted to fake his death must be related to the plan planned by Master Taier, Jin Buhuan and others.
Ba Xie said: "Alchemy Demon, it's up to you to answer these questions for King Tiger."
"Okay." Dan Mo nodded and told the story in detail. The Tiger King was sometimes shocked and sometimes nervous. When Ba Xie asked about the identity of the man in black, he couldn't sit still at all.
He grabbed the Dan Mo's arm with both hands and asked with a serious face: "Dan Mo, what Elder Ba Xi said...is it true? Are you really sure that the man in black with the animal face is... the North Pluto? ?"
When the words "Bei Pluto" came out, even the Tiger King couldn't help but tremble. Not only was his tone full of disbelief, but his whole body also trembled slightly.
"Hey..." Ba Xiu sighed and said: "Tiger King, I know you can't believe it, and you don't want to believe it! But...but before I died, I had been personally acknowledged by King Bei Pluto, and I even saw him with my own eyes. His true appearance has been revealed. You don’t have to doubt this."
The Tiger King still couldn't believe it, and murmured to himself: "Elder Ba Xi, Alchemy Demon, there are countless immortal treasures and elixirs in the Nine Provinces that can change the appearance and voice. Could it be...could someone deliberately change their appearance?" How about taking on the appearance of Bei Pluto and then framing him?"
In fact, King Tiger either didn't believe what Ba Xi said, or he didn't believe King Bei Pluto, or one of the men in black. It's because King Bei Ping is the real person in charge of Yaoming Palace now, and his cultivation level is second only to Elder Wu.
What he wants to get is easy! Why dress up in black? What was his purpose for doing this, and what were the identities of the other men in black? Or is it the spirit in the Demon Underworld Palace, or is it someone else?
The more the Tiger King thought about it, the more headache he got, and he kept rubbing his temples on both sides.
Fairy Chang He said: "Tiger King, when I learned that King Bei Pluto was the man in black with an animal face, I also didn't want to believe it like you. Of course, he and Princess Bi Yun are enemies. Is he a man in black? What does it matter? However, he is the real man in black, so we have to make other guesses."
Fairy Chang He was right. When Bei Ping Wang was not confirmed to be the man in black, everyone still knew that his purpose was to get rid of Bi Yun and sit on the throne of the Demon King of Demon Ming Palace.
But if he was a man in black... he would have to overturn everyone's preconceived guesses. What the man in black did during this period left no one scratching his head.
It would be easy to say that he wanted to use his identity as the man in black to get rid of Bi Yun. However, based on what happened in the past year, King Tiger felt that Pluto's thoughts were far from what everyone thought.
Not only did he not take action against Bi Yun, he also secretly made trouble for everyone. It seems that he wants to wipe out all the forces except Yaoming Palace!
But can he succeed in doing so? Moreover, from Mu Jingyu's analysis, it was concluded that King Bei Pluto had joined forces with Elder Guli, Master Tongxuan, and the Han family. The reason why King Tiger wanted to go to Yaoming Palace was to look for evidence.
If the conclusions of him and Ba Xie and others are correct, why would North Pluto, who transformed into a man in black, form an alliance with these people?
The Tiger King told the reason why he came to the Yaoning Palace, and finally said: "Dan Demon, Elder Ba Xiu, Fairy Chang He, could you... have made a mistake? King Bei Ping..."
"That's not wrong!" Gu Shakong looked gloomy: "Actually, after Master Medical Immortal was killed by Bei Pluto who transformed into a man in black, Uncle Master began to be suspicious of Bei Pluto's identity. After him The old man’s secret investigation, combined with the previous events, finally confirmed the fact that King Bei Pluto is the man in black!”
The Tiger King said curiously: "Alchemy Demon, can you tell me the reason?"
"Yeah." Hearing Gu Shakong mention the Medical Immortal, Dan Mo, his younger brother, couldn't help but feel sad. After sorting out his mood, he said: "Tiger King, as one of the five beast kings, you should know that after I surrendered to the Demon Hades Palace, the North Hades asked me to refine elixirs for him."
The Tiger King nodded and said: "I heard a little bit about it. It's just that I don't know what kind of elixir Bei Pluto wants you to refine and what it is used for."
"Actually, I didn't know why Bei Pluto asked me to refine the elixir at first. I thought it was just to help him improve his cultivation. However, after he killed the medical fairy, I finally figured out why Bei Pluto asked me to refine the elixir. Asking me to refine elixirs is a lie, but helping him search for living beings is real."
Seeing that Tiger King did not continue to ask, but waited for him to speak out, Dan Mo told everything one by one.
It turns out that the reason why King Bei Pluto wanted to take in the elixir demon was to use the excuse of refining elixirs for himself and order him to continuously abduct countless children. It is said that these children with outstanding talents are used as medicine guides, but in fact, they secretly absorb the spiritual energy in their bodies to continuously enhance their own cultivation.
At the beginning, Alchemy didn't know the true intention of Bei Pluto. After King Bei Pluto killed the Medical Immortal and sucked the spiritual energy from his body, allowing his cultivation to reach the realm of immortality in one fell swoop, he finally realized that he had been fooled.
Since then, due to the death of the Medical Immortal, Alchemy began to secretly pay attention to the whereabouts of Bei Pluto, and finally determined the fact that Bei Pluto was the man in black. Only later did he take in Gu Shakong and other Yaowang Valley disciples, and secretly help Mu Jingyu. Just so that one day, with the help of these people's power, I can kill North Pluto and avenge my brother!
After listening to the Dan Demon's narration, King Tiger had no choice but to believe the fact that King Bei Pluto was the man in black.
"Alchemy Demon, you have been secretly investigating Bei Pluto for such a long time. Do you know whether this mysterious technique of his is self-created, or... or..."
"Tiger King, I know what you want to say." Fairy Chang He pointed out the Tiger King's worries: "From now on, it is certain that the magic method that North Pluto can absorb other people's spiritual energy is definitely not self-invented. As for him, he is here We got it by chance, from Demon King Biluo thirty years ago, and we still don’t know! I’m afraid only King Bei Pluto knows about it.”
Everyone fell silent.
More than thirty years ago, Bi Luo died in a battle to slay demons. There were many doubts about him. Although it was known from Bei Pluto's words that Bi Luo was besieged by the Righteous Path and died, the spirits of Yaoming Palace also recognized Bei Pluto's words during subsequent investigations.
But if King Bei Pluto is a man in black and has magic skills that can absorb the spiritual energy of others... then Bi Luo's death is worthy of discussion!
After all, no one would believe that Pluto, a mere toad, could achieve what he has achieved today!
Some people died, but not completely...
