Li Rui frowned and said something unpleasant, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
This Peach Blossom Empress became a spirit hundreds of years ago and must have great magical power. If she was really affected by the evil spirit and lost her mind, she would probably be at least as strong as Manjun and Wei Xun.
It cannot be awakened now, at least it will not lead to one more NPC-level enemy in the world.
However, unlike him, several elders panicked and ran around him.
"Taoist Priest, you must save my empress."
"Taoist Priest, you are an expert in Shenxiao Palace, you must have a way!"
Their anxiety is not only due to their feelings for their biological mother, but also because once something happens to the Peach Blossom Empress, the forest elves here will die sooner or later.
Li Rui signaled to the crowd to be calm. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that the weird tip might still be a quarter away from being found.
Could it be here?
He looked around carefully and found that there was nothing unusual. Suddenly an idea occurred to him and he remembered that he had another skill.
Buzz.
When the blood eyes opened, several dryad elders around him were startled. This combination with the ferocious look made them look even more evil.
But Li Rui didn't care about others, because as soon as he opened his blood eyes, he found that this place was unusual. A vague evil spirit floated among the peach petals, looming and lingering.
At the same time, he also saw a spherical black shadow wriggling not far under the tree, and from time to time it would emit a wisp of evil energy, floating all the way to the treetops.
Li Rui once again refreshed his understanding of Zuo Qiutian.
That person was really powerful. Not only was he super strong, but he also had treacherous and changeable methods. This deception actually lasted for a year, and he kept it in Lin Jing's home without being discovered.
More importantly, despite the fact that he had deceived Zuo Qiutian in the Silent Forest before, the other party was actually not stupid. These methods were not only low-key, but also sophisticated.
The place where the Peach Blossom Empress is located is full of spiritual energy, which can be used to cover up the coldness of evil spirits. It seems to be done casually, but it is just right.
Even if the evil spirits in Beishan are more dangerous, and even if the forest elves are less repulsive to outsiders, just a small difference may lead to a change in the outcome.
Of course, no matter what the layout is, it can't withstand someone from outside the world breaking the situation.
All we can say is that maybe this is the way of heaven that even Zuo Qiutian himself is afraid of.
Li Rui said, "You guys stand back."
He opened his bloody eyes alone and approached the black thing.
Tons tons tons.
Drinking medicine and adding buffs, activating the Heart Sutra of Thunder in the Sky, holding the big black umbrella in hand, and wearing neatly equipped equipment, even if a boss battle suddenly occurs, you can still be in full strength.
He didn't slap the Thunder Palm out until everything was ready.
Sizzle!
The divine thunder collided with the black evil spirit, creating a strong air current.
A strong wind echoed here, making the fallen peach petals fly.
Several tree spirit elders were worried and scared, not knowing whether to retreat or advance. He Yang also held a war hammer, ready to support at any time.
Wow!
The black thing suddenly exploded under the burning of the divine thunder, then regrouped and gradually turned into a human-shaped black shadow.
The shadow squirmed again, and facial features, eyes, mouth and nose, hands and torso, legs, feet and clothes appeared.
Li Rui recognized this figure immediately.
Zuo Qiutian.
After he arranged everything, he didn't leave, but stayed in this place.
Even though he was prepared, Li Rui still felt a chill on his back and got goosebumps.
[Clue collection 4/4, unlock world mission: Taoyuan Conspiracy. ]
[Mission goal: Defeat Zuo Qiutian's clone and prevent the Peach Blossom Empress from being controlled by the evil spirit. ]
[Task reward: experience value +700000, free attribute points +10, epic equipment x1, epic strengthening materials x5, epic consumable props x3. ]
[Warning: A high-risk boss battle is about to be triggered, and the ending will change the direction of the world plot. ]
Li Rui's first reaction was to shout to He Yang: "Hand in the main mission and go out immediately."
The latter has never triggered an event to collect clues before, and there certainly are no world tasks.
And this battle, judging from the rewards alone, is extremely dangerous, not to mention it will affect the direction of the world plot.
The key is that the person in front of him is Zuo Qiutian.
Although Li Rui could tell at a glance that this guy was not his true self, even if it was a clone, it was still a very terrifying existence and could even be fatal to He Yang.
Death at the hands of this guy may result in the inability to wake up in reality.
So at the last moment, he stuck to his principle and let the customers leave safely first.
He Yang had already been completely impressed by him. After hearing this, without saying a word, he immediately gave the exit command to the elder of the banyan tree spirit and handed over the task, and then hurriedly rushed out of the gate.
Seeing that he was gone, Li Rui relaxed a little. If he had to protect others in a fight later, he would be dragged down. Anyway, with He Yang's strength, he would never be able to participate in a battle of this level.
At this time, Zuo Qiutian glanced at the peach tree, then looked at everyone in front of him, and instantly knew that the matter had been exposed.
He was still as gentle and gentle as usual, leaning forward like a leisurely stroll.
The tree spirit elders knew the details of this person and were so scared that their legs were weak. If their mother hadn't still been here, they would have run away long ago.
Li Rui didn't dare to be careless or make the first move. He just stood there, holding the umbrella and staring at the opponent.
Zuo Qiutian noticed the fear of the tree spirits and chuckled.
"It seems I don't need to say anything more. The only thing left to do is to fight to the death."
He did not rush to take action. Instead, he stared at Li Rui again and looked at him. "But before that, can you tell me who you are?"
Um?
He doesn't know me?
Li Rui reacted immediately.
The timeline did not jump back one year from the Liangting border. The clone Zuo Qiutian in front of him had no memory of himself.
In other words, this guy who is not the real person doesn't know that he once ruined his big thing in Silent Forest.
With his mind spinning, he almost didn't pause and immediately put on a smile.
"Brother Zuo? I finally woke you up. I had a hard time looking for you!"
If I deceive you once, I can deceive you the second time!
The He family's nanny obeyed the boss's instructions and had to go into the wake-up room to check on the situation every once in a while.
Although she didn't understand what these people were doing, she knew it was a confidential project and had signed an agreement. This agreement alone increased her monthly salary by 10,000 yuan, so she always kept it secret, and the He family was also very satisfied with her. work.
She pushed open the wooden door of the wake-up room, walked to He Yang, looked at her rolled up sleeves, and started counting stars.
"One, two, three, four, five, black."
She wrote it down in her mind and sent a text message to He Pengxi. The other party would not reply, but this procedure was necessary.
When the nanny was about to leave, he suddenly saw another black ink mark appearing next to the black stars, and soon another star formed.
"An extra one? Mr. He never said it would be like this."
If most people saw the "tattoo" moving, they would definitely be startled, but she was already used to it and was hesitant to report it because she had never seen an extra star appear out of thin air.
Finally, she edited a text message and sent it. She thought she would not receive a reply, but unexpectedly, a phone call came back directly.
"You said five black stars turned into six?" He Pengxi went straight to the point.
"Yes Mr. He."
"Count again. Now, are you sure there are six black stars?"
"One, two, that's right, six."
"I know. That's it."
He Pengxi's voice was as cold as ever, but the nanny who knew him well could sense that he was not calm.
Of course he couldn't calm down. How could six black stars appear in the secret realm of five white stars? Something must have happened inside, and something very special.
Just as the phone was about to hang up, the nanny glanced down subconsciously and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, sir, there's one more!"
"What?"
This time, He Pengxi couldn't remain calm, "You, please wait and see if the number will continue to increase. Don't hang up the phone."
"Sir, it has really increased. There are eight stars now."
"Nine!"
"Oh, ten!"
The nanny also became excited. Although she didn't know what she was excited about, she always felt like she had witnessed something extraordinary.
Finally, with a groan, He Yang woke up leisurely.
"Sir, he's awake!"
".Tell him not to move. I'll be back in ten minutes."
Thanks again to Brother Sen for the reward. The boss consumes rationally.
