The blood moon is strange and the bones are broken.
In the dream world of the Nightmare Demon King, the army of the previous dynasty formed an array around the Bone Palace, relying on the evil energy soaring into the sky to resist the chaos and evil brought by the blood moon.
After sending Chu Liang and his party away, the old prime minister quietly sat cross-legged at the door of the Bone Palace, as if waiting for something.
After a long time, a figure fell from the sky.
This is a woman wearing a colorful satin skirt. She has a slim figure, fair skin, and a pair of charming fox eyes, but she does not show any charm. Because there is deep majesty and vicissitudes in these eyes, people who look into them often only dare to avoid them, not daring to have a single thought.
She walked towards the Bone Palace with light steps. The soldiers in the middle turned their spears and tried to intercept her, but as long as they looked at her soldiers, they would immediately fall to the ground.
There was a continuous popping sound, and when she walked to the front of the palace, a large number of soldiers from the former dynasty were already lying behind her.
And she didn't even change her gaze.
"I respect your loyalty very much, so I believed your words, but you deceived me." Caiyi looked at the old prime minister and said calmly.
The former prime minister looked at her without fear and said with a smile: "I am loyal to my motherland, but I am also loyal to the human race. You want me to help the demon race, but you are wishful thinking."
"But you have completely ruined the hope of restoring the country." She said.
"If the descendants of the future generations will bow their knees and become slaves under the rule of the demon clan, what will happen if the Chinese state is no longer restored?" The old prime minister shook his head: "How can you beasts understand this?"
Caiyi was silent for a while, and then said: "I really admire your human race's... integrity. This kind of spiritual power is invisible and has no quality, but it is the key to distinguish the human race from the monsters of other races. The human race Therefore, the reason why we can always dominate the land of Kyushu is because there are too many existences like you."
After a pause, she continued: "I will give you one last chance. As long as you are willing to use me, I promise to let you build a country. Even if the demon clan returns to Kyushu, you will have your independent territory. You should know that you In the current situation, once the Nightmare Demon King wakes up and the dream is shattered, you will immediately turn back into ignorant ghosts... If the people from the Yu Dynasty come, they will kill you immediately. It can be said that except for me, there is no one at the moment. People can save you.”
"It seems you still don't understand." The old prime minister just shook his head again, and then closed his eyes.
The expression on his face only expressed one sentence, whether he wanted to be killed or beheaded, it was up to him to do as he pleased.
Caiyi sighed and said nothing more. She leaned forward, and in an instant, ripples appeared in the air, and her figure disappeared into them.
The barrier between the dreams is indestructible to Chu Liang and the others, and they must find a connecting portal to enter and exit. But for a great demon like her whose cultivation is not necessarily inferior to that of the dream creator, she can come and go very freely.
As for the remnants of the previous dynasty, she was unwilling to kill them, and there was no need for her to do so herself.
As mentioned before, if she succeeds in awakening the Nightmare King in this trip, the dream will be shattered, and these people will immediately turn into lonely ghosts; even if she fails, it will definitely attract the attention of the Yu Dynasty, and then these former The remnants of the dynasty will only face the cruelest purge.
But even under such circumstances, the old prime minister was still unwilling to serve her, which was indeed somewhat beyond her expectation.
Humans are always like this.
She had not experienced the original demon-god war, but faced with the god-like existence of the ninth realm, the human race also resisted unyieldingly, and finally created the miracle of killing gods.
Caiyi thinks this is the power of civilization, so she studies the civilization of the human race in the far west. But how long will it take for the demon race to become like this?
she does not know.
…
"Qingyuan..."
"Lianhua..."
In the main hall, Gu Qingyuan and Ji Lianhua hugged each other and cried. Their reunion after thirty years was touching.
"Lianhua, you are finally here." Gu Qingyuan held Ji Lianhua's hand, "It must have been a hard journey."
"I came too late." Ji Lianhua shook her head vigorously and looked at her lover with pity: "It's pity that you are lonely, pity that you are alone in the empty mountain. You have been waiting for me for thirty years..."
Seeing the two of them lingering and melancholy, it was hard for others to say anything. Fortunately, after getting excited, Gu Qingyuan looked at everyone again.
"Lianhua, time is running out." He said seriously: "You must escape from here and find rescuers."
"Yes!" Ji Lianhua responded: "Let's go together!"
"I..." Gu Qingyuan suddenly hesitated, "I can't leave..."
"What did you say?" Ji Lianhua's eyes narrowed.
After hearing what he said, everyone immediately looked over seriously.
"You must have discovered that I am just a soul right now..." Gu Qingyuan said: "My physical body is suppressing the Nightmare Demon King under this hall."
"Ah?" Ji Lianhua did feel that something was wrong, but she didn't have time to ask before. As for the powerful Yuan Shen of the seventh level, there didn't seem to be any big difference, and naturally the others didn't notice it either.
"Back then I got an ancient map, and wanted to go into the mountains of the southern region of the town to find the secret treasure of the ancient Great Dream Immortal Lord, and seek an opportunity to break through to the heavenly pass." Gu Qingyuan said, "Who knew that I would enter this secret realm? But I found something was wrong.”
"I'm not the first one to come here. Before me, the Nightmare Demon King and the former Young Emperor had already entered their dreams one after another, and I only entered the dream of the former Young Emperor. When I came, it was... The Nightmare King’s dream self is about to awaken.”
Hearing what he said, everyone instantly understood what Caiyi was looking for.
In some dreams, the dreamer observes from the perspective of a third party and does not participate in everything; while in some dreams, there is a dream self who seems to be experiencing these things personally. Once the consciousness of this self encounters any strong impact, it is very likely to wake up from the dream.
For existences of the level of the Great Dream Immortal and the Nightmare Demon King, whether they want to leave their true self in their dreams or not is a matter of thought.
The Nightmare Demon King obviously stayed here to prepare for his future awakening.
After three thousand years, its self-consciousness has gradually matured and is ready to awaken itself.
Thanks to this time, a group of parasites also came to its dream, which was an army led by the former prime minister.
The Nightmare King's self is not as powerful as his real body, and in his dream he is only at the seventh realm, so both sides are evenly matched.
"At that time, I saw the old prime minister fighting with the nightmare demon king's self. I immediately came to help, and in desperation, I bound the nightmare demon king's self with both hands. The old prime minister took action to separate me from the nightmare demon king's consciousness. They were frozen together, which prevented the demon from waking up for a while." Gu Qingyuan said: "With the help of the old prime minister, my soul survived here out of body, and I also found the inheritance of dream skills from the Great Dream Immortal."
Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly.
"It's ironic, all I want in life is to reach the seventh realm, and then go to the Ji family to marry you in a dignified manner." Gu Qingyuan sighed: "But after I broke through the seventh realm, I can't find you anymore. I After staying here for many years, I finally found someone who can deliver the message for me."
Chu Liang was slightly ashamed.
If he could have thought earlier that Gu Erniang was Ji Lianhua, maybe everyone could come here earlier, and then they could be one step ahead of the demon queen.
However, after hearing the whole story, he understood why the former old prime minister never considered helping Caiyi awaken the Nightmare King.
It turns out that the Nightmare King's true self was sealed by him himself.
Even if he helps to awaken the Nightmare Demon King again, he won't get any good results. Instead of betraying the human race again, it is better to strengthen our integrity.
Of course, it's just some malicious little speculation.
No matter what, he is admirable.
"The most important thing right now is that you have to leave here." Gu Qingyuan continued: "This matter is of great importance. As long as we can find someone who is in charge of Tianyuan to take action, the crisis will be resolved."
"Yes, you have to leave quickly." Ji Lianhua also said, then turned to look at Gu Qingyuan: "I won't leave, I will stay here with you."
"Lianhua..." Gu Qingyuan wanted to persuade her again.
Chu Liang immediately smelled a hint of danger. Could it be that he was about to start pulling?
Thanks to Yan Qihu's wave of sleeves: "Now it's not a question of whether you want to leave, it's a question of whether we can leave. Let's go over first and see if we can break through the barrier! If not, everyone will die!"
His rough voice immediately broke the gloom between the two of them and brought everyone back to reality.
The group stopped talking nonsense and immediately flew to the edge of the Abyss of Dreams.
The thick cocoon-like barrier above the abyss is like a tangle of white threads. It is extremely dense and wraps up everything within sight, wrapping up the entire Abyss of Dreams.
This white cocoon can not only isolate the physical body, but also isolate all spiritual transmission. No magical powers can pass through it, including shrinking to an inch.
"Mr. Wei and I have been thinking about it for a long time." Gu Qingyuan said, "With the strength of the two of us, we have never been able to open it."
Long before everyone arrived, he and Wei Lang had already tried many times to open this cocoon and send messages. However, Confucianism and Taoism have more than enough magical powers, but they are not enough to attack difficult problems.
If a seventh-level practitioner wants to open this cocoon, he will probably have to be a swordsman like Taoist Yan.
"I'll give it a try." Hearing this, Yan Qihu punched hard, his blood circulated, he gathered all his strength, and punched forward hard!
Boom——
The white cocoon was made of unknown materials, but it seemed to be extremely sticky and tough. Yan Qihu's punch could break a mountain, but it only bounced slightly when it landed on it.
Countless white threads stretched out instantly, trying to tie Yan Qihu to the cocoon-like barrier!
Thanks to his agility, he moved away in an instant. The countless white threads stretched out more than ten feet and floated in the air for a while before returning to the cocoon.
Not only was his punch ineffective, it seemed to have had the side effect of alerting the enemy. The explosion resounded through the mountain tops and echoed several times.
Immediately, I heard an ethereal laughter floating in the distance.
"Want to leave?" This was a soft female voice, "As long as you tell me where the Nightmare King is, I will let you go..."
