In the distant Xuanzong, in the main hall of the Xuanzhu lineage.
Duan Xiao closed his eyes and meditated peacefully with his arms flat on his knees.
Judging from the time, people from Xianyue Tower will find Lin Ming's location in the near future.
His mind was not quiet enough, so that a certain semi-finished soul weapon he was refining was floating in mid-air, and the metal was in a strange state from liquid to solid.
This weapon belongs to the sect leader and needs to be used to cope with Xuanzong's grand ceremony, so he has no choice but to forge it with all his strength.
However, until Lin Ming dies, he will not be able to rest at ease. The final steps of this weapon are precisely when meditation is most needed, so there is no need to rush at all!
The Xianyue Tower deal gave him a condition he couldn't refuse.
It was so generous that he could hardly believe it.
The other party didn't ask him for any reward at all, nor did he ask for any information about Xuanzong. He just gave him a piece of paper with a paragraph of text on it.
All Duan Xiao had to do was to recite this few words of less than 3,500 words 100 times.
What difficulties would this cause?
He looked at it carefully and carefully, and really couldn't think of anything wrong with it.
After several days of thinking, coupled with the anxiety that the casting was not going well, he finally decided to find something to do.
That is to say, this so-called reward has been completely paid.
He didn't feel anything wrong when he recited it the first time, but it was still the same the second time. After the 10th time, there were subtle changes. He shook his head involuntarily while reciting it, but he didn't notice it at all.
At this moment, there was a certain factor in his body that was undergoing drastic changes, but it was not manifested externally.
Duan Xiao couldn't tell if there was something wrong with him in a short period of time.
In other words, he did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and the words he muttered changed greatly at this moment.
Only it didn't sound that way to his ears. To him, it was just a very ordinary conversation, or it was like a vernacular novel, without any profound connotation.
However, one or two inner disciples came to see him, but fell into unspeakable panic after hearing the words he muttered.
He turned around and hurriedly tried to escape, covering his ears with his hands and not daring to listen to the sound, but everything was irreversible.
From the moment they heard the first word, these inner disciples were destined to become sacrifices.
They slowly floated into the air, their flesh and blood peeled off, and their skin, flesh, muscles and bones faded away layer by layer, but they were still connected like a broken thread. They were only an inch apart, and the cursed bodies were already unsightly, and a pair of strange eyes or Tentacles grew out of it, and then tore at the flesh and bones crazily.
In an extremely fast time, these inner disciples were all decomposed, leaving only a fist-sized piece of blood essence in the air, with a white bone relic wrapped in the center vaguely visible.
At this moment, Duan Xiao suddenly looked around suspiciously. His body turned into a mouse, and his hands seemed to turn into animal claws, scratching back and forth.
The entire face was in a strange and terrifying state. His mouth was wide open, and two rows of teeth protruded. The entire face was glowing with a strange purple color, but his eyes flashed with blood red from time to time.
"Where's the blood? Where's the blood? I want to drink blood! I want to drink blood! No, no, blood should be offered as a sacrifice to the great being, because I am also a part of his body."
His eyes became more and more crazy, his nose kept twitching, and then he followed the smell and found the two strange blood balls.
Ouch, ouch!
Taking one bite at a time, Duan Xiao swallowed it completely, then showed a satisfied look, and continued to recite the words that had been engraved in his heart in a whisper-like tone.
His appearance became more terrifying and sad, but his own expression became more and more satisfied, as if the greatest joy in the world surrounded his body, as if his soul had gone to the eternal kingdom of God.
Soon, he had finished reading the sentence 100 times, and he stood in the same position again, looking at himself blankly and asking, "What's wrong with me?"
As soon as the question came out, his eyes had already seen a nose that didn't look like a human face, or it could be said that the shape of the entire face had changed.
If anyone is watching, they will shout in surprise: "Here is a big rat that has become a spirit, and it is also wearing human clothes."
Duan Xiao's eyes suddenly rolled up, as if he was aware of his current state.
Gulu!
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he made a squeaking sound unconsciously, and then raised his hand to wave a water mirror.
Just when he was about to observe the change in his appearance, his eyeballs suddenly started to move crazily, with his left eye turning clockwise and his right eye turning counterclockwise. His entire mind was instantly knocked out of his mind.
"I am Duan Xiao, I am Duan Xiao, I am Duan Xiao..."
At this moment, this extremely simple sentence seemed to have turned into another kind of mantra.
Then, as Duan Xiao kept chanting these words, the big mouse's figure gradually changed, turning into a human form bit by bit. It didn't take long before he finally returned to his original appearance.
Looking up at the ceiling, Duan Xiao sat on the ground with his knees crossed and continued to meditate.
After a long time, his body and mind had completely calmed down, and the weapon that needed to be made was successfully made after he tampered with it.
Leaving the hall happily, he grabbed the ceremonial knife and walked out of the door to bathe in the light of the moon.
During the whole process, Duan Xiao seemed to have discovered nothing. He still thought that he was a normal person, and he felt that he had just experienced a trance-like miracle, and then the weapon was completely successfully built.
However, the shadow behind him was still in the shape of a big mouse.
The falling moonlight did not have much impact on him, but it made his shadow raise his head high, rising from the ground inch by inch, and then slowly became the same as Duan Xiao, and then hid in the ground.
"Why am I standing here?"
Duan Xiao was a little confused and pondered for a moment, remembering what happened during the casting without any hindrance.
His memory has been completely altered, and what he remembers is completely different from what actually happened.
At this moment, he has been corrupted by Xianyuelou's special means and has become a seed planted by the other party.
What seems to be free is actually the most expensive.
Duan Xiao unknowingly suffered a huge loss, leaving his mind, body, and everything else in the hands of others.
What he got in exchange was nothing more than Xianyue Tower's relentless pursuit of Lin Ming.
If he had clearly known that Xianyuelou and Lin Ming had a sworn feud while he was still awake, he would probably have vomited three liters of blood and died on the spot.
On the other side, at the gate of the Nameless Ancient City, the owner of the building in the evening let out a tut-tut-tsk laugh: "Very good, Duan Xiao has gone crazy, Xuanzong and the like have laid the nails, and are waiting for the arrival of our army."
While laughing, he attacked the headless general crazily. The headless general was still passively enduring, but his body was as strong as steel.
No matter how you beat it, no matter how you kill it, no matter how you cut it off... it will have no effect!
The blood-red aura continued to condense on his body. A shadow appeared vaguely on his head, which was worthy of his existence, and blood trickled like spring water on his neck.
"It's useless. You can never kill me. This is an absolute gap in personality and rules that cannot be bridged or bridged."
As soon as the words fell, the ancient armor on the general's body emitted mottled light, and his whole life spread like the roar of a white tiger.
"Everyone in Wangyou City obeys the order and prepares to fight the enemy invaders. They will go ten miles out of the city and wipe them all out."
At this time, another old voice sounded: "Don't worry, lock them all up. There is urgent information that needs to be found."
The nameless ancient city was also known as the City of Forgetfulness, and on the streets of the city, Lin Ming watched everything happen. After reading the memories of the butcher Ah Fei's life, he felt a spontaneous empathy.
But this feeling, if you think about it carefully, will bring with it a slight sense of separation.
Quite contradictory!
The unknown old man had a conversation with Lin Ming within a short period of time. It didn't take long for the former to completely believe in the latter.
"Boy, what you said must be true, because this monster's last memory has been read out."
"They are indeed just a tiny vanguard army, but this vanguard army is not the same concept as the vampire clan's vanguard army. They have more advanced methods and more mysterious spells, and there is no need to be so clumsy across the stars. travel across the domain.”
"Do they have a special method to directly descend to the Cangxuan Realm? In this case, we should have fallen long ago, but this is not the case in reality."
Lin Ming frowned.
The little guy suddenly interjected: "Maybe they will have to pay a huge price for this."
Lin Ming bent the fingers of one hand and pressed the joints against his jaw. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Because they are farther away than the evil ghosts, and the energy and material they need to consume must be higher, so they only sent three or two big cats and kittens."
"This is slowly building up strength!"
"The other party seems to view the Cangxuan Realm as particularly scary."
At this time, the nameless old man standing next to Lin Ming sneered:
"Because you are a little kid. You are only 18 this year. You have no idea how majestic this world was back then."
"At that time, there were 99 continents, and the two realms of heaven and man were forever separated. It also had a way of practice that was completely different from ours now."
"That kind of cultivation method has completely become old. After experiencing Dao Zun's innovation, the rules of this universe have been completely reshaped."
Lin Ming did not refute, but continued to make his own deductions:
"Since very early times, this group of extremely special races has been coveting the secrets of the Cangxuan Realm, and in their view, the Cangxuan Realm should be extremely powerful and great, so they must know more than just us. In this era, the Cangxuan Realm is mostly looking for something like the Ancient God Star that can compete with the Taoist Master."
Upon hearing this, the unknown old man suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Lin Ming.
How did this person learn about the Ancient God Star?
An era has passed at this moment, and not many people should still remember the news about the Ancient God Star.
Those aliens and human races with alien intentions have all been liquidated.
Even those hidden sects or aristocratic families with long history cannot know it.
In order to keep this matter secret, only the guilty lineage knows about it, and there is no other possibility.
Could it be...
Lin Ming felt the old man's gaze, turned around and asked doubtfully: "Senior, what is this?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask something." The nameless old man said.
"Senior has an ancient origin and must know a lot of things." Lin Ming looked like he understood everything. "Do you want to know where I learned about the ancient star?"
"Young Master is extremely intelligent, that's exactly what it is."
"This matter is actually not a particularly big secret, but if you want to explore my secret, how can you not tell me the origin of this city."
"..." The old man was silent for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense."
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound was heard again, which was obviously the beginning of a fierce battle at the city gate.
At dusk, the building owner and the headless general were fighting in a chaotic mess. They were attacking and defending each other. It was very exciting to fight back and forth.
The headless general had a bad feeling in his heart because he had been suppressed before.
His attacks became faster and faster and more powerful.
The ground shook at the gate of the city, and fine cracks spread out in the city wall. Brick fragments and various dust fell down, covering the ground with dust.
The unknown old man's eyes penetrated the long street, traveled endless distances, and saw the fierce situation at the gate of the city at a glance.
"How brave! This is the place of Wangyou, the gate of Wangyou City, and if you dare to act arrogantly as a foreigner, then you will die!"
After speaking, the nameless old man's eyes closed and opened, and a bright light suddenly appeared, a golden and a silver ray of light suddenly rising up, like the sun and the moon reflecting each other.
The majestic heat gathered in an instant.
On the long street, the corpse impaled in mid-air was burned at a rapid speed.
The man stood beside the old man, but he didn't notice any heat eroding him.
The little guy slapped on Lin Ming's shoulder, blinking twice from time to time, "What are you doing?"
"Let's see!" A smile appeared on the corner of the unknown old man's mouth, and there was a black bow in his hand. He pulled the bow like a full moon, and the originally invisible bow string was revealed, and three different colors slowly appeared on the bow string. arrows.
At this moment, Lin Ming suddenly snapped his fingers, and several divine inscriptions appeared, with various effects attached to the arrows.
Stealth, acceleration, and sharpness...
"Senior, you don't mind if you, the junior, can do your part, right?" Lin Ming smiled, warm and warm, just like the morning sun that makes people bathe in warmth.
The unknown old man smiled heartily.
"Of course that's no problem! To kill the enemy, what you need is efficiency."
The next second, he let go of the bowstring in his hand, and there was a sound of wind, and three arrows of different colors flew out.
One is bright and golden, the other is bright and silvery, and the other is secretive and dark.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the first arrow hit the owner in the evening, right in the lower abdomen.
His expression suddenly changed, "Who dares to sneak attack on me?"
He was answered by two arrows coming one after another.
Phew!
One arrow hit his head and one pierced his heart. However, he strangely did not die. Instead, his strange body under the black robe was revealed.
