Li Rui was really surprised this time: "Who are you talking about? Is he still alive? If I join you, what will happen in reality...out there? Who are you?"
Zuo Qiutian smiled and said nothing.
He temporarily left Li Rui aside, faced the dark forest ahead, put down the backpack on his back, and began to form seals with his hands in front of him.
Following the movement of his hand, a desolate atmosphere suddenly rose in the darkness ahead.
This was the danger that Li Rui felt faintly before.
Rumble——
Something was breaking out of the ground, and even the sky became darker because of the huge shadow of the moon.
Li Rui didn't have time to think about whether to join or not. He raised the blue silver lantern ring and shined it upward. He could only vaguely see a shadow as tall as a mountain.
"You have a chance to decide before I finish my work. Now, just watch."
Zuo Qiutian began to explain and show off his strength, "This is the corpse of a demon king in its true form. I have hidden it under the forest for many years. Those idiots in Liang Ting never imagined that the evil leader who massacred an entire party was hiding under their noses."
"For it, I collected the souls of 3,300 cultivators, but the most important ones are you people from outside the world."
There was a trace of pride that could not be hidden in his tone, "Birth, old age, illness and death are the cycles of heaven. It is impossible to bring the dead back to life, but it is different with the souls of people like you, because you are outside of heaven."
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, took out an alms bowl from somewhere, and threw it into the sky. A river of blood poured out of the container, which was obviously only the size of a rice bowl.
"This is the essence and blood of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred living people, used to nourish the demon body."
With a wave of his sleeves, dozens more soul boxes rose into the air, and the soul-sealing jars filled with souls on the ground also floated up.
Li Rui was ready to make a move. There were many souls of secret agents in those soul boxes.
Zuo Qiutian pointed his sword with one hand, causing the essence and blood to flow around the huge corpse of the demon king, and muttered: "If it weren't for Sun Qian's trouble, I wouldn't have to go through all the trouble to come here, and you. Such a naughty guy, if you think about it, it’s really annoying.”
Li Rui's face froze.
Unexpectedly, I am also responsible for Sun Qian's fart.
But of course he wouldn't say it.
If you think about it this way, it seems that the broken secret realm has something to do with him in a roundabout way.
But the more important thing now is to prevent him from opening the soul jar and soul box, otherwise all the secret agents will really die.
But what to do?
Li Rui thought to himself that this guy was very capable. If he tried to snatch it by force, not only would he not be able to achieve his goal, but he would probably be killed in seconds, so he would have to use other methods to delay time.
At this moment, a notification came from the system.
[Trigger world event: Illegal survival. ]
[Goal: Prevent Zuo Qiutian from resurrecting the Demon King. ]
[Reward: experience value +50000, skill point +1, epic quality strengthening materials x3. ]
Li Rui was dumbfounded.
Should I stop it with my head?
Zuo Qoutian seemed to be trying his best to resurrect the demon king, but in fact, there was always a murderous intention targeting this area. If Li Rui made a slight move, he would be dead.
But one thing is that in order to protect the souls in the soul-sealing jar and soul box, he originally wanted to stop it, or at least delay it for a while.
"Wait! Don't worry, I have something important to tell you!"
Zuo Qiutian twitched his lips: "You tell me, I'm listening."
However, the movements in his hands continued, still controlling the blood river.
"It was Sun who did it!"
"That's what you said." Zuo Qoutian was still unmoved.
"Actually, he is not dead! He is an undercover agent sent by Shenxiao Palace to Fengdu! Everything you did was planned by them. The purpose is to make you do the next best thing and come here to resurrect the Demon King!"
Zuo Qoutian turned his head: "What did you say?"
The movements of his hands obviously slowed down, and his expression became serious, obviously he was very concerned about it.
However, Li Rui was not having a good time at this time either.
I only have three seconds to make up a story that is watertight but false. If the slightest clue is revealed, I will die on the spot. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?
Waiting online, quite urgent.
...
Wu Sun had never felt like this before.
On the one hand, he was running as hard as he could in his life.
On the other hand, he didn't know what to do.
The Secret Realm will indeed modify the direction of the plot. It will not deliberately trap the Secret Realm agents, but no one knows what direction it will take.
He must find a way to save Li Rui, but what is the way?
Not only him, but He Chengli and Huo Yun didn't know either.
This person was unfamiliar with the place and had no clues to guide him. He was unable to leave the Silent Forest area and couldn't find any helpers.
They could only sprint towards the military camp to see if Liang Tingguo had noticed what was going on here.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Wusun was anxious and kept calling the other two people, but it was in vain because everyone had already tried their best.
After running for a while in the darkness, fortunately, a few people rushed to the outskirts of the forest and saw the outline of the military camp. However, from a distance, they could smell the smell of blood and see the overwhelming evil aura.
The three of them still didn't come up with any solution. They just ran forward mechanically. However, before running a few steps, they felt their eyes blurred and they all fell to the ground, as if they were pressed down by three invisible hands.
He Chengli looked up and saw a pair of leather boots. Looking up again, he saw a man wearing a sword.
"Who are you? What happened here? Are you and Zuo Qiutian together?"
The three people were still in shock. This person just pressed down in front of him and controlled them all on the ground. However, he was not injured at all. This not only requires extremely strong strength, but also requires precise power. control.
One can imagine how big the gap is between them and the man with the sword.
Before they could speak, they saw a flash in front of their eyes, and suddenly there was an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard.
"We were entrusted by General Dingyuan to come to Silent Forest to slay demons."
Huo Yun looked at the opponent's gleaming blade and quickly revealed his identity in the secret realm to avoid being beheaded by a knife.
"Who killed the people in the military camp?"
"It's a man named Zuo! He wears a long robe, kills people everywhere, and seals their souls!" Wu Sun came to his senses and quickly explained the core content.
"Go quickly, he is in the forest!" He Chengli said, "There is another person with us. If you don't go, he will be in danger!"
Wei Xun let go of his left hand and said, "I have nothing to do with your people, but I will kill those with the surname Zuo."
Taoist Zhenyue said: "Donor Wei, I am a poor Taoist who will help you."
The two were about to rush deep into the forest when they felt the ground suddenly tremble. Then, not only them, but everyone present saw a mountain-like figure rising from the depths of the forest.
This was the time for Zuo Qoutian to call out the demon king's remains.
Zhenyue and Wei Xun's expressions changed, they looked at each other and disappeared again.
"Amazing."
Huo Yun sighed, "With them here, we will definitely be able to defeat that guy named Zuo."
"Brother Rui must hold on." He Chengli looked at the remains of the Demon King worriedly.
