Yingyue was so shocked that she froze there and forgot to run for her life. Liu Mu rushed forward, grabbed her hand and ran back. As Yingyue ran, tears flew down the corners of her eyes, "It's really over. Brother Lian Ting has become like this. Qiyue City is hopeless!"
Her hands couldn't help trembling, and Liu Mu could feel the despair in her heart. "Cheer up, our friends can't die in vain, even if we fight until the last moment, we can't give up easily!"
Yingyue regained some confidence, wiped away her tears, and quickened her pace. The people chasing behind gathered more and more, and the momentum was huge, forming a torrent. The front is already the territory of monsters. Occasionally, a piercing howl is heard, reminding people that it is a place of death and should not get close.
There are monsters blocking the way in front of you, and there are many soldiers chasing you behind, what should you do? Yingyue was so anxious that she stamped her feet, but Liumu was very calm. He whispered in Yingyue's ear, and then the two of them stood still, waiting for the pursuers to arrive.
The footsteps were chaotic, and people were running like crazy, with ferocious faces and no fear. Xue Ting rushed at the front, his handsome face twisted and deformed, and his original appearance could not be seen. When the crowd came within ten feet, Liumu and Yingyue ran again. The howls of monsters could be heard in their ears. They all turned back and rushed into the crowd.
Liu Mu was in front, opening the way with the "Tian Mu" in his hand, and sent out a strong sword energy. The crowd scattered in all directions, just in time to encounter the charging monster. There was a rain of blood, and some people were torn apart by the monster. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liumu and Yingyue rushed out of the crowd and continued running.
"We use innocent people to attract monsters and only care about our own escape. How cruel!" Yingyue lamented softly.
"Wake up, Miss! These people have lost their minds and are like walking zombies. If we don't run faster, if they catch up, we will be shattered to pieces!"
Liumu followed the same method, using the crazy pursuit of soldiers to break through several monster defense lines. He went back and forth several times, and there was a cliff ahead. Many of the pursuers were devoured by the monsters, and the rest were still pursuing them. Xue Ting rushed to the front, covered in blood, with no intention of retreating.
The cliffs were getting closer and closer, stretching as far as the mountains into the depths of the black mist. The top is smooth and flat, with no grass growing on it. A chill arose in Yingyue's heart. Under this natural chasm, people are as small as ants. Can they really be split open by the power of "celestial wood"?
She was so suspicious, why not Liumu? But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. He stabilized his horse's pace, closed his eyes slightly, and held the "Tianmu" in both hands. The frost-like shadow lingered in his mind. He gathered all his strength and prayed secretly: "How many people have died for this moment? How many efforts have been made to turn the tide at this moment? We can only try our best and give it a try!"
His true energy circulated, his whole body swelled, his beard and hair moved automatically without wind, the "Sky Wood" was dazzling, and the surrounding air was stirred, forming a rotating hurricane, reaching into the black mist...
Yingyue was so stunned that she forgot about the pursuers approaching step by step. When the strength reached its peak, Liu Mu swung out a sky-shattering blow, sending sand and rocks flying. The sword energy was like an overwhelming force, like a torrent rushing towards the cliff.
The big move was launched, and the six eyes were exhausted and on the verge of collapse. Yingyue opened her eyes wide, waiting to see the glorious moment of creation, but a strong airflow rebounded, huge rocks flew, trees broke, and the two of them fell heavily several feet away. Looking at the cliff again, it stands majestic without any damage.
He was vomiting blood from his six eyes, his strength was so weak that he couldn't hold it back, and the "Tianmu" was thrown several feet away. Yingyue hurriedly helped him up. The pursuers had arrived. She gritted her teeth and pulled out the blood jade sword and rushed into the enemy's formation. The enemy was outnumbered. In just a few rounds, Yingyue was stabbed through the heart by Xue Ting...
When she fell, she still looked back at Liumu, with sadness, reluctance, and unwillingness in her eyes. Just as the crazy crowd was about to rush towards him, the city lord's soul suddenly emerged from the blood jade sword, forming a huge shadow. A strong wind blew everyone around, and then the city lord's soul turned into a ray of starlight and floated into the distance.
With six eyes and a broken heart, he struggled to take steps, approaching the missing "Tianmu" step by step. The crazy crowd roared and made a comeback. At this time, a clear roar came from the forest, and Yun Yi led more than ten people like magic soldiers from the sky, "The Soul Burial Valley and others are willing to fight to the end for Mr., and will never take a step back!"
The two groups of people began to fight, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere, which was extremely tragic. Liu Mu's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was as sharp as a knife. Seeing everyone fall down one after another, Yun Yi and Xue Ting strangled them with all their strength, both piercing each other's hearts with their weapons. When Yun Yi looked back, there was a trace of satisfied smile in his eyes.
The six eyes hurt his liver and intestines, and let out a roar that shook the sky. The "Tianmu" suddenly flew into his palm as if it had wings. Holding her tightly again, he felt a warmth like a beauty's jade arms. Ningshuang's body flew gently into his arms, and when her red lips brushed across it, it left a refreshing tenderness on his cheeks.
"You used your life to help me, but I deserved it! I owe you everything, every bit, every bit, and I am willing to repay it in several lifetimes! I swear on my soul..."
The "Sky Tree" in his hand suddenly surged and turned into the pillar of heaven again. With the six eyes as the center, hurricanes roared around him, trees were uprooted, and the fighting crowds and corpses were swept into the sky. The top of the "Tianmu" has reached into the black mist, and suddenly lightning flashes across the sky, and the sound of thunder resounds throughout the world.
Liumu took out the power of life and waved it with all his strength. There was a loud bang, the sky fell and the earth fell, and the dust covered the sky. He was rebounded by the huge force, flew into the air, and then lost consciousness...
The moonlight was clear and the weather was slightly cool. When Liu Mu woke up, he was lying in a pile of gravel. Surrounded by rockeries and gurgling water, it was clearly a courtyard. "Tianmu" was at his side, Liu Mu quickly took it in his hand and moved forward carefully.
Looking up, the mountains are faintly visible, and the lights of an ancient pagoda are shining brightly. Linghu Yuan described that place to him. With six eyes, he walked along the winding bluestone path. Under the banana tree, the fragrance of flowers burst out. After passing through the Moon Gate, he climbed up the stairs and reached the ancient pagoda. When I looked down again, the huge courtyard at the foot of the mountain was dimly lit, but silent.
He pushed open the pagoda door, and inside was an ancestral hall with many tablets enshrined and incense candles shining brightly. He took out the jade tablet from his arms, which was the tablet that stored Linghu Yuan's soul.
"My benefactor, you sacrificed your life in order to fulfill me and save Qiyue City. Such a great kindness cannot be repaid. I can only fulfill my promise."
He climbed up to the third floor of the altar, carefully looked at each tablet, then chose one, moved away, opened the hidden compartment below, and took out two lacquer boxes, one red and one black. He opened the red box, placed the jade pendant inside, and murmured a prayer: "My benefactor, I have found your relics. May your soul rest in peace!"
At this moment, a sneer came from the quiet night, and three figures entered the tower.
The two men and one woman are very strange. The one in the middle is young and has a cold gaze, as if there is a power that penetrates the soul. Liu was startled and instinctively protected the two boxes, "You, are you the 'ghost' killer?"
The man smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Quexiu, we are all old friends. I, Linghu Feng, are polite!"
Liumu was quite unfamiliar with these titles. He shook his head repeatedly, "I am not a Que Xiu, let alone your old friend. I have the hatred of killing my father and the hatred of taking my wife..."
Linghu Feng interrupted him with a smile, "These are all illusory memories I implanted in you, just to inspire you to use them for me and achieve your goals!"
At this time, the man next to him interjected: "Of course, your immortal body was also given to you by the young master. The bodies of everyone in the city are transformed using transformation pills. In other words, you are all dead, except for me and her!"
"Yes, I exchanged with Prince Nanxuan and obtained the soul-casting technique, so that the human form transformed by the transformation pill can truly have a soul!"
"I tried my best to create an immortal transformation pill, but unfortunately I didn't have a powerful soul to match it. Until I met you..."
Linghu Feng took the woman next to him into his arms, "This is your confidante Yingyue, who is actually my concubine, and my disciple Cheng Yuan, who is what you call the city lord. They are all sent by me." Enter the city and cooperate with you to accomplish great things!"
Liumu calmed down and risked his life. It turned out that he was just a chess piece in someone else's hands. "So where exactly is Qiyue City?"
"This starts from ancient times. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Daji invented the 'punishment of the turtle basin', which was extremely cruel and angered both humans and gods. After the demise of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Empress Nuwa took pity on the souls who died in the basin and placed the basin in the fairy mountain for salvation. . Thousands of years later, the basin absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Not only did the hostility dissipate, but it also became an immortal weapon. Although it is only a small area, it has mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, plants and trees, and it is like a miniature fairyland. "
Liu Mu asked coldly: "Since it is a peaceful fairyland, why do you want to turn it into a city of murder?"
"This grass basin later returned to my Linghu sect and was placed on the top of the rockery. When one enters it, it is as light as dust. It is extremely mysterious. It is a place for leisure and play for the sect. Occasionally, they also go to pick some unique fairy grass. There is no such thing as He used it. All the changes originated from my beloved uncle Linghu Yuan. Speaking of which, uncle, you have been silent for a long time, and it’s time for you to appear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light shone in the box behind Liu Mu, gradually condensing into a golden shadow. The six eyes were dumbfounded. The shadow was as majestic as a god, but it didn't even look at him.
"Uncle, you are obsessed with the art of soul refining. You use transformation pills to enclose human souls in a basin, and then kill them to practice martial arts. You also do not hesitate to refine thousands of souls as guides to make the 'Yue Shen Dan' with immortal souls. This is really unparalleled. You are a genius, my nephew admires you very much. I learned all these things from you!"
Linghu Yuan scoffed and did not interrupt.
"It's a pity that your secret practice was discovered by the head of the family. Such sorcery, harming living beings, is no different from the devil. According to the family law, you will be sentenced to death. However, after taking the 'Yueshen Pill', you are an immortal soul. The head of the house is worried about your reincarnation." If you cause trouble, I have to imprison your soul in a basin and use the 'soul-drawing wood' to suppress it. It will be irreversible. My nephew has made such careful arrangements just to save you from trouble!"
"What you said is high-sounding and plausible. It's true that you want to save me, and your real goal is the 'Yue Shen Dan' in this box. I understood your intention when this immortal body appeared, because if the pot is broken by external force, , jade and stone will be burned together, everything inside will turn into nothingness, and my soul will not escape the doom!"
"Uncle is a wise man, accompany me in this play! Before you suffered the crucifixion, you condensed all your magic power into pills and hid it with the 'Yueshen Pill'. Now that you have recovered your magic power, we can each take what we need. Do you want to give the 'Yue Shen Dan' to your nephew?"
