Song Qingxing's strangeness was only momentary, but the coldness he showed still made Song Yuan and others feel chills down their spines.
"Elder Brother, let me go take a look."
Seeing him leaving the table, Song Yuan and Song Qingxi were too smart to follow him. The two brothers Song Tang and Song Jun wanted to go, but as soon as they made a move, they were strangled in the cradle by their father's cold eyes.
"Squeak"
The red-painted door was gently pushed open by Song Qingxing, and a long-lost feeling came to his heart. The furnishings in the room were the same as when he left home.
The room was very clean, and the things in the room didn't feel rotten. It seemed like someone was cleaning it frequently.
Although it was his first time coming in, every corner of the room was extremely familiar to him.
When he came to the closet, there were several sets of clothes neatly stacked inside, all of which he wore when he was a child. They were all black.
His fingers lightly traced across it, and the slightly rough touch made Song Qingxing feel a little dazed. These were all made for him by his mother stitch by stitch...
He didn't feel the deep love contained in it before, but now that he saw it again, he felt a lot in his heart.
It's just that the past has passed away, and everything can only be retained in the depths of memory.
Opening the drawer below, a bronze mirror covered with patina came into Song Qingxing's eyes.
The bronze mirror is about a foot long. The upper part is an oval mirror. The middle part seems to have been hit by a blunt object and is full of cracks.
There is a strange vertical pupil engraved on the back of the mirror, which is quite breathtaking when you look at it.
Song Qingxing's eyes narrowed slightly. The main purpose of his return today was to find this Bronze Mirror.
This mirror was accidentally obtained by her mother when she was pregnant with him. There was nothing special about it at the time, so Mother Song just gave it to Song Qingxing as an ordinary gadget.
At that time, he often held the mirror in his hands and played with it. Gradually, he discovered some strange things about the mirror, but he was still young and had not yet entered Dao Path, so he did not care.
Later, after he detected that Spirit Root was taken to Vast Peak, he was immersed in cultivation all day long, and gradually forgot about it. It was not until the day he broke through Foundation Establishment that this long-lasting memory was finally awakened.
He was infiltrated by Demonic Qi at birth, causing his personality to become distorted.
Demonic Qi will not appear out of thin air. Kaiyang City is under the protection of Song Clan Grand Formation. It is highly sensitive to Demon Qi and Demonic Qi. If Demonic Cultivator sneaks in, the guarding monks will definitely be able to detect it.
After ruling out the possibility of Demonic Cultivator causing trouble, the only explanation is that it is a magic item.
After that day, Song Qingxing thought about it and finally set his target on this piece of Bronze Mirror.
He had never practiced before, so he didn't feel deeply, but now, he can clearly sense the power in this Bronze Mirror. If he had just doubts before, now he is completely sure that this Bronze Mirror is the culprit.
Song Qingxing looked at Bronze Mirror with a cold look on his face and said, "I know you are here, get out."
Bronze Mirror was unmoved.
This was within his expectation. His fingers gently brushed Storage Bag, and [Traceless Sword] suddenly appeared in his hand.
The origin of [Traceless Sword] is somewhat mysterious and has not been understood until now, but Song Qingxing found that it seemed to have great restraint on Demonic Beast. If it had not turned the tide before, Song Qingxing would have really sunk.
Before, he was worried that the Sword Qi contained in it would hurt his family, so he put it into Storage Bag. Now when he took it out, Bronze Mirror immediately began to tremble slightly, and Song Qingxing could clearly feel the fear it radiated.
Song Qingxing held the sword in his arms and said coldly, "If you don't come out again, you will bear the consequences."
"No, no, no."
A wisp of black energy surged out from the vertical pupil behind the bronze mirror, forming a hazy human face in the air. It looked at the sword in Song Qingxing's arms with some fear, and said hurriedly, "What happened back then was just an accident. I didn't mean it. I have been here all these years and have not harmed anyone."
As he spoke, he actually revealed a sense of grievance.
Song Qingxing understood that what he said was true. When he first entered the door, he secretly used Divine Sense to check the bodies of Song Yuan, Song Tang, and Song Jun. He found nothing wrong and did not behave abnormally. This showed that they were all normal and had not been invaded by Demonic Qi.
This is also the reason why he did not directly destroy Bronze Mirror.
"Who are you, where are you from, and what are your intentions?"
Song Qingxing sat down on the low stool next to him, staring calmly at the faces floating in the air. He had already laid out Restriction here before entering the door. He was already a turtle in a jar, and he had plenty of time to slowly clarify the questions in his mind.
It has to be said that since the "magic nature" in Divine Soul was eliminated, Song Qingxing's patience has also increased exponentially. In the past, he would definitely not waste time here.
The human face composed of Black Mist glanced at [Traceless Sword] with some flinching. After weighing his weight, he answered honestly, "My name is Wujie, and I am the Artifact Spirit of this treasure."
As soon as the words fell, Song Qingxing's eyes suddenly burst into light.
The genus of Magic Artifacts, the second-level birth spirituality is Spirit Artifact, Spirit Artifact is born Artifact Spirit is Dharma Treasure, and above Dharma Treasure is Spirit-Connecting Treasure, also known as Spirit Treasure, Artifact Spirit's intelligence has matured, and is no different from that of an adult.
But even so, Artifact Spirit is still extremely fragile and can only be parasitic in the main body.
Only by looking one step further and reaching the Law Spirit Treasure level can Artifact Spirit be able to take on an external form and act alone without being separated from the body.
Could it be that this humble Bronze Mirror is actually a Law Spirit Treasure?
This idea was killed by Song Qingxing as soon as it came up. Law Spirit Treasure is rare in this world, and it is enough to suppress Fortune for a big force. If it is really a treasure of that level, the entire Kaiyang City will be destroyed as long as it releases a trace of breath. How can it be possible to stay here so safely and cooperate with him so much?
"Nonsense!"
Song Qingxing's sword eyebrows stood upright, and the fierce Sword Qi was released from his body, leaving deep sword marks on the wall.
The face in the air suddenly shivered with fear, and said quickly, "What I said is all the truth, all the truth. I am indeed Artifact Spirit, but I am just different from the ordinary Artifact Spirit."
Looking at Wujie's boneless appearance, Song Qingxing frowned slightly, is this guy really Artifact Spirit?
Wujie was afraid that he would not believe it, so he quickly said, "I was originally Human Cultivator, and my cultivation level reached Golden Core Realm. I unfortunately fell in the battle, and only Divine Soul was able to escape.
Because my Divine Soul was naturally gifted, I was eventually captured by a True Lord and refined into Spirit Treasure, thus becoming Artifact Spirit. Although I am not Law Spirit Treasure, I can still take on the form outside.
Later, that True Lord was defeated by a Demonic Cultivator. During the battle, my body suffered heavy injuries. I was also attacked by Demonic Qi and swallowed by a Spatial Rifts.
I wandered in Endless Void for an unknown number of years. My strength was exhausted and I fell into a deep sleep. When I regained consciousness, I was already here.
Over the years, I have been extracting the spiritual energy from underground Spirit Vein to restore my strength. I am just afraid that my whereabouts will be exposed, so I can only extract a little bit at a time, so I have only recovered a little bit now. "
Wujie spoke sincerely and very quickly. Judging from Song Qingxing's intuition, it was not a lie, but it may not be entirely true.
Song Qingxing's mood was a little ups and downs. This Bronze Mirror was actually a Spirit-Connecting Treasure. This was a treasure that even Golden Core True Person might not own. Even if it suffered heavy damage, as long as Artifact Spirit was not destroyed, its value would still be inestimable.
To use a common metaphor, even if the entire Song Clan is sold, it cannot be exchanged for the people and the land.
What's even more valuable is that this Artifact Spirit was actually a Golden Core Cultivator during his lifetime.
Although Wujie acted very spineless and had nothing to do with Golden Core True Person, Song Qingxing never doubted this.
Because not everyone's Divine Soul can be regarded as Artifact Spirit, the cultivation level must be at least Golden Core.
Although his cultivation is not there now, it still cannot be underestimated.
Taking a deep breath to calm down his turbulent heart, Song Qingxing said coldly, "Afraid of being exposed, you shouldn't have taken action against me in the first place."
Wujie smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't want to either, but it was really an accident.
I was invaded by Demonic Qi and penetrated deep inside. Although I tried my best to restrain myself, I still radiated Demonic Qi outwards. This Demonic Qi was very weak, and even a mortal could resist it.
But when a woman gave birth, her vitality and resistance were greatly reduced, and she happened to put me next to her, causing Demonic Qi to take advantage of it.
It's just that I still don't understand why Demonic Qi is obsessed with you and not your mother. "
If according to what he said, then this matter is really an accident.
Song Qingxing squinted his eyes slightly and said nothing for a while.
He was not sure whether what this guy said was true, but it was true that he had not harmed anyone in recent years.
After thinking for a while, he didn't struggle with this issue. He placed [Traceless Sword] across his lap and said, "Do you know this sword?"
He could feel that Wujie was afraid of this sword, but there seemed to be a trace of joy hidden behind the fearful emotion. Such a contradictory scene naturally attracted his attention.
Wujie heard this but shook his head and said, "I don't know it, but I can feel that this is a demon-conquering Magic Artifacts. On the surface it looks like Second-Tier Low-Grade, but in reality there may be some discrepancies."
Then he said slightly excitedly, "I can feel that the Demonic Qi in your body has been eliminated. If nothing happens, it should be related to this sword, right?
Please, get rid of the Demonic Qi in my body. As long as you help me, I can give you the mental skills, Divine Ability, and Secret Art! "
"So that's the reason." Song Qingxing suddenly felt enlightened.
It has to be said that the chips offered by Wujie are still very attractive. In his previous life, he was Golden Core True Person, and the value of any of the Divine Ability Secret Art he possesses is inestimable.
For a moment, Song Qingxing was a little hard to make a choice.
The image of Song Changsheng appeared in his mind involuntarily. What would he choose if he faced this kind of problem?
Soon, he already had the answer in his mind.
He looked directly at Wujie and said, "I can try."
Before Wujie could get excited, he continued, "Although you did it unintentionally, it is true that I almost became a demon. Your chips... are not enough."
Wujie looked stiff and said quickly, "Then whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you."
"I want you!" Song Qingxing said firmly.
"What?" Wujie's voice changed at this moment.
"I, want, you!" Song Qingxing said every word in a firm tone.
"This is impossible. You are a little Foundation Establishment Cultivator. I can't possibly recognize you as my master. You should give up on this." Wujie roared angrily.
In his opinion, this is simply an insult to him. The dignified Spirit Treasure, even the severely injured Spirit Treasure, is not something that a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator can peep at.
Song Qingxing looked calm as water, stood up slowly and said, "Do you think you have other choices now? Either die or surrender!"
"You can kill but not humiliate!" Wujie shouted angrily.
"If that's really the case, you won't be willing to be Artifact Spirit." A sneer appeared on Song Qingxing's face, and he ruthlessly tore off the fig leaf on his face.
Becoming Artifact Spirit, although you have a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people, you also lose your freedom and the power of reincarnation. For anyone, this is a great shame and humiliation.
If Wujie really wasn't afraid of death and really couldn't bear the humiliation, he should have self-destructed Divine Soul when he was captured instead of making an impassioned speech here.
"Qiang"
[Traceless Sword] Slowly unsheath.
Song Qingxing Sword Finger Wujie, said coldly, "Submit to me, and I will do my best to help you recover. Otherwise, die!"
This is the final announcement.
Looking at the sword blade dodging the cold light, Wujie's psychological defense finally collapsed. Song Qingxing was right. If he had had the courage to face death, he would not have lingered until now.
In the past, he could indeed despise Song Qingxing, because Foundation Establishment Cultivator could be destroyed with a snap of his finger.
But now, his strength is not as good as Qi Condensation Cultivator, who is stronger, and he is not qualified to fight Song Qingxing!
Of course, he can also choose to die together and let the entire Kaiyang City be buried with him.
But again, he was afraid of death, let alone wanted to die.
If he died now, he would not even have the chance to be reincarnated.
Looking at the murderous Song Qingxing, Wujie said solemnly, "I am willing to surrender..."
After several days of long journey, Song Changsheng and his party finally returned to Sunset City. As disciples from various major forces gathered, Sunset City was many times more lively than before.
"According to the agreement between Master and several True Person, the first batch of Great Qi Cultivation World Coalition Army will be formed within ten days to attack Hundred Thousand Great Mountains." Looking at the Flying Boat who frequently took off and landed, Zhuang Yuechan suddenly said.
Song Changsheng suddenly felt a little emotional, after how many years, the offense and defense have finally changed. How many people can understand the hardships involved?
But Zhuang Yuechan seems to be in a low mood.
Feeling his concerned gaze, Zhuang Yuechan said with worry, "Master intends to expand Bianzhou's territory. I, Sunset City, will also be one of the main forces in this battle. Martial Uncle and Senior Martial Brother will also step onto the battlefield."
Hearing this, Song Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
In a war, there are no immortals. Especially in such a large-scale war, it is extremely dangerous. Golden Core True Person may not be able to escape unscathed.
His eyes fell on Zhuang Yuechan. Yin Shang and Niu Dazhuang were both going to enter Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, so she...
