" A Li?"
Chen Qing repeated the name blankly, her heart inexplicably pounding.
The address was very friendly, clearly indicating that the other person knew the Thousand-Faced Fox well, but judging from the Thousand-Faced Fox's appearance, it seemed that he did not recognize the other person.
And for some reason, Chen Qing felt that he had heard this name before.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
After a standoff of about four or five seconds, the childish voice finally spoke, "When are you going to wait? Until the poison takes effect?"
Chen Qing frowned and glanced at Murong Yunji. Murong Yunji understood and flicked her hand, a gust of wind swept by, and then an extremely young face appeared in front of everyone!
Everyone was stunned, including Wang Ye.
He had found the voice strange before, but he never imagined that this legendary master sorcerer would be such a small-looking Nüwa.
The girl had white hair and looked extremely cute in the moonlight. Her skin was also exaggeratedly white, like porcelain. To be honest, she looked a lot like Ghost Child.
But Chen Qing couldn't discern his background!
" Mirror Demon, what is this thing?"
Chen Qing secretly transmitted his voice.
The Mirror Demon remained silent for a few seconds before finally replying, "I can't tell."
"Same as me?"
"Unlike you," the Mirror Demon said calmly. "You are an anomaly, but she isn't. She can be like this because someone is concealing the secrets of Heavenly Secrets, and in this world, only one person can conceal the secrets of Heavenly Secrets!"
Chen Qing immediately knew who the other person was referring to.
Mr. Heavenly Secrets!
"I don't have time." The girl's legs were weak as she sat down on the ground. "I don't have much time left, I have to hurry!"
"You don't have much time?" Chen Qing frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I can only exist for fifteen minutes!"
"Um?"
--
" Lord Ziyue, you can only exist for a quarter of an hour!"
Outside the Azure Dragon Barrier, several men in black removed their hoods, revealing their true faces. They were almost all white-bearded old men, and judging from their appearance, they were all over fifty years old.
"She just used the Turbid Moon; I'm afraid she won't even last a quarter of an hour. What should we do?"
" Ziyue must not fall into Chen Qing's hands!"
"But this Azure Dragon Barrier is too complex; even Ziyue couldn't break it immediately. Did Chen Qing pass on the Azure Dragon Spell to Mu Hongqing's disciple just to set up this trap?"
Although the Azure Dragon Inheritance was powerful, the group didn't act immediately because they believed the situation was still under control. What could a Fourth Rank sorcerer do in a short time, even with the Azure Dragon Inheritance?
As long as they complete His Majesty's task, won't the magical techniques inherited by that little girl be theirs?
But no one expected that a Fourth Rank sorcerer girl could create a barrier of this strength.
This barrier is almost as strong as the one in the capital, isn't it? How could a mere maid possibly have created it?
Several experienced sorcerers quickly deduced that this was a trap set by Chen Qing. This Great Azure Mountain was probably the place where the Azure Dragon Spell was passed down, and there was a barrier left by the previous generation of Azure Dragon Sorcerer. Only by using the inheritance could the barrier be activated by someone with the same inheritance!
"What a cunning scheme!" The leading old man's face turned ashen.
"What do we do now?" Another old sorcerer looked at the barrier. "This outer barrier isn't as strong as the inner one, but rushing in would reveal our location. With Murong Yunji there, plus that kid's unknown and unpredictable methods, a head-on fight within the Azure Dragon Barrier might be..."
"Then force him out!" The old man at the head of the group said in a sinister tone.
How do you force it?
"Murder." The old man looked towards Liuzhou City: "These past few days, Chen Qing has been working diligently, invoking the Mountain God and the Underworld —isn't he just building his own power? These days, those so-called gods in Liuzhou don't seem particularly powerful. If we attack Liuzhou, we can naturally force Chen Qing to come out!"
The others exchanged bewildered glances. "Kill civilians?"
The old man who had asked the first question also frowned, "This is the Jiangnan region, not the North. If word gets out..."
"Why would word get out?" the old man sneered. "Given the current situation in Jiangnan, there are countless excuses. Besides, are they really commoners?" The old man pointed at Liuzhou City. "Can the people in Liuzhou still be called commoners? They've long been demonized by Chen Qing through various means!"
"This"
The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation.
"That's not appropriate," one of the Human Dao. " Liuzhou is a place of great cultural and educational development. If you're going to kill, you should kill everyone in Liuzhou. If you leave a few people alive, the Shen family will have something to hold against the Shen Family, and our entire family will be affected. Besides, are you sure that Chen Qing doesn't have any backup plans in Liuzhou? Have you forgotten the person Murong Yunji and Shen Lao'er to leave when they rushed in?"
Upon hearing this, the old man at the head of the group looked even more displeased.
He naturally remembered, and that was precisely why they hadn't dared to make any rash moves these past few days.
That mysterious young man was incredibly strong. He single-handedly forced the Shen Family to retreat. He was skilled in both martial arts and magic. To be honest, even if His Majesty himself were to personally display the overwhelming power he displayed that day, he didn't think His Majesty could easily win!
"Does killing always have to be done head-on?" An old man beside him chuckled sinisterly. "We sorcerers have no shortage of indirect methods. What does it matter how powerful a martial artist is? As long as we use the right methods, we can still force Chen Qing out. Then we can take back Ziyue and activate the Purple Phoenix Bangle."
" Purple Phoenix Bangle?"
Just as the group was discussing, an even more sinister voice rang out from afar. "The Emperor of the Xiao Household has certainly spared no expense, not only sending Ziyue out of the capital but also bringing her the Purple Phoenix Bangle. Well, that makes sense, only Ziyue can use that thing now."
Everyone was startled and looked over in horror. "Who?"
Under the moonlight, the figure was open and honest, extremely emaciated, with bloodshot eyes, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura of yin energy.
" Shen Laojiu?" The old man's eyes widened immediately. "How did you escape?"
When Shen Laojiu first entered the city, they secretly sabotaged his escape. They were the ones who captured him and imprisoned him in secret, which is why Shen Laojiu, who had been corrupted by the corpse poison, was unable to cause trouble.
They certainly didn't have good intentions. One reason was to test the origin of the corpse poison, and the other was to take this opportunity to obtain Shen Laojiu's insect sorcery.
They were the first to discover the insects within the living corpse in the mist, and naturally knew how important Shen Laojiu, this insect sorcerer, was. Once they obtained the Insect Spell and found a way to control the poisonous insects, what a terrifying weapon that would be!
Indeed, once these living corpse venomous insects are released, they are extremely terrifying and horrifying, and could even cause a great calamity for all living beings if not handled properly, but that is under the condition that they are not under control!
Imagine what would happen if this thing could be controlled, even implanted into the bodies of martial artists through poisonous insects and then controlled?
Will the world still be one that values military prowess over academics?
It's even possible that warlocks could return to their former glory!
From the moment they started harboring Shen Laojiu, none of them intended to report the matter, and even Ziyue was unaware of it.
But I never expected this guy to escape!
But this shouldn't be happening, right?
The elder at the head stared intently at his opponent, who was trapped by his own family's Heavenly Mystery Lock, which even Above First Rank martial artist could not break. It was also extremely resistant to various spells, and very few people in the world could break it, definitely not including Shen Laojiu.
Who rescued you?
Shen Laojiu chuckled, his body radiating black energy that instantly enveloped all the black-clad sorcerers!
Ziyue was eventually released.
The other party was quite confident, which Chen Qing didn't believe, but the fox did.
The other party is very dangerous. Under normal circumstances, even if the fox asked to leave, Chen Qing would not let it out. In Chen Qing's eyes, neither the fox nor the child in her arms, no matter what imperial qualities they might have, are as important as the achievements he has already made.
He wasn't really fond of that kid; the reason he set up the scheme was simply because he didn't want a group of unknown individuals targeting him from the shadows. That feeling of having something on his back was unpleasant.
But for some reason, this time, when the fox made his request, he unconsciously agreed.
That feeling was awful, like an instinctive trust from my body. Could it be that this fox demon has regained its strength?
"You've already released them, so what are you hesitating about?" Wang Ye said with amusement.
"That's right," Murong Yunji said, sitting cross-legged on the ground. "Although I think your decision was a bit wrong, because you don't seem like a soft-hearted person at all, you've already done it, so what's the use of agonizing over it now?" As she spoke, she looked at Ziyue and A Li's location in another concealed spot. "Besides, I have a feeling that the little girl wasn't lying. She's in very poor condition and probably can't maintain that terrifying power from before, so you don't need to worry too much."
"I hope so," Chen Qing said, pursing her lips. Who knows if it was just an act?
But what made him even more uncomfortable was his own unusual decision. A Li's request wasn't forced, but he had just agreed so naturally.
What the heck?
Chen Qing felt that this was not simple. He knew very well what kind of person he was, and Murong Yunji was right; he was not a soft-hearted person.
"By the way, Chen Qing, do you know?" Wang Ye sat to the side, looking at the sky that had turned black, and suddenly spoke up.
"Know what?" Chen Qing was taken aback. Was this guy trying to comfort her? His tone...
"The fox demon's offspring this time might be a complete and utter monster."
"Huh?" Chen Qing rolled her eyes, then chuckled. "Do you even need to tell me?"
Humans and demons have children, and it's even a half-demon and a demon having a child. Of course, it's possible that the child will be a demon. The demon's genes are much stronger than the genes of the black people in her previous life. Don't be fooled by the fact that Murong Yunji's parents were human and demon and their offspring was human. Under normal circumstances, 99% of the time, demons and humans have children who are demons.
After all, how many Black people have you seen give birth to White people?
"And do you know that the King of Qin was born under such circumstances?" Wang Ye said quietly, " The King of Qin was born into a prestigious family, with the bloodline of a top-tier family. His spouse was also a top-tier demon at the time. After his birth, the King of Qin family announced to the world that the King of Qin was human!"
Chen Qing: "."
"The emperor wants to replicate his existence, huh?" Wang Ye chuckled coldly. "How ridiculous! The person who killed the King of Qin of Qin wants to replicate King of Qin existence!"
Just then, a cry rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The baby has been born!!
