Chapter 1968 Bewitched
The once peaceful Beikuo County is no longer what Xiaowu remembers.
All I could see were broken walls and ruins, with traces of charring and blood everywhere.
There were corpses buried under the ruins.
Under the gray sky, black ashes were floating in the air, and the wind was howling like the cry of ghosts.
Even the 'ghosts' are gone here.
Xiaowu still remembers the City God of Beikuo County, Doctor Sun who became a god after his death, and those ghost messengers and demons.
She raised her head, looked across the ruins, and saw the sparse number of pedestrians on the street, all of them were in a daze, with wooden expressions.
There was a suppressed cry coming from the corner.
An atmosphere of sadness enveloped the entire county.
She saw the empty Sun Mansion, the restaurant where the City God had entertained them, which had collapsed, and the City God Temple.
The City God Temple in the world of the living was razed to the ground.
The Yin-Yang Pass collapsed.
There was dead silence in the underworld.
The people who were lucky enough to survive kept bowing in front of the City God Temple, completely unaware that the god they respected had also fallen.
Her eyes continued to look beyond the city wall, abandoned farmland, and turbid river water, and she saw West Five Village.
Just like the county town, nine out of ten houses are empty and the ground is covered with ruins.
The land temple in the village was also destroyed.
On both sides of the village road, there were lush willow trees, green and lush, but they were all burned to death, leaving only charred wooden stakes.
She saw the Yuquan Temple in the mountains.
The little white fox carefully took down the fox corpses one by one, held them in his arms, and burst into tears.
At the place where the Willow God and the Fox Demon died, Xiao Wu sensed the lingering breath of the Yin Messenger and the fluctuations of the immortal cultivator's magic power.
The ghosts and gods in this county were attacked by immortal cultivators!
This group of fox demons used to be accomplices of tigers, but after being punished, they seemed to have turned over a new leaf and assisted the county's ghosts and gods in protecting the land. However, they were eventually slaughtered by the enemy and their skins were peeled off.
And in front of her...
A hand appeared from the gap between the broken tiles.
This hand is no longer white and tender. The skin is old, covered with calluses and stained with dark red blood.
Yulang and Sha Jiayu came over.
They didn't know Xiaowu's previous experiences, but they could guess something from his performance.
Sha Jiayu also noticed that the City God Temple in Beikuo County had been razed to the ground, and he immediately knew what had happened there.
He had seen this kind of scene too many times while traveling around the world.
Shinto generally does not intervene in wars between mortals.
But from the very beginning of this chaos, there were the shadows of immortal cultivators behind it, and mortals were just chess pieces they manipulated at will. Some ghosts and gods wanted to go against the trend and maintain peace in the territory, but their end was that mountains were cut down and temples were destroyed, and they died as martyrs.
In the end, the people still cannot escape the disaster of war and may even suffer even worse harm.
The people who killed the people of Beikuo County might be soldiers from the enemy country.
Immortal cultivators usually don't do it themselves, but this blood debt can be blamed on them.
However, at this moment Sha Jiayu did not dare to make any sound and was silent as a cicada.
He felt an extremely dangerous aura from Xiaowu, a terrifying aura that made his heart tremble!
"Ugh!"
Sha Jiayu sighed secretly.
If mortals are compared to dust, then immortal cultivators are sand and stones, but in the face of the overwhelming trend, there is no difference.
Mortals lost their homes and their lives.
He lost his direction, and Yulang's faith was almost broken. The little white fox went through a lot of hardships to find his relatives, but all he found were corpses.
Even someone as strong as Xiaowu lost her friends.
They are just ordinary people struggling in the torrent.
"Sister..."
Yulang plucked up his courage and opened his mouth, then he saw Xiaowu squatting down and gently placing the rattle in his hand.
After staring for a long time, Xiao Wu slowly flew up. The wind around her crushed the flying ashes in the air, turning them into black gas that rapidly spun around her.
Yulang and Sha Jiayu's expressions changed.
This black gas was definitely not ashes or smoke, but a terrifying demonic energy that they had never seen before!
"Oh no, Xiaowu is going to be possessed by a demon!"
Sha Jiayu screamed in shock.
He had always been on the verge of becoming possessed, and he immediately saw what Xiao Wu's change meant.
"Go and invite Taoist Qingfeng!"
Sha Jiayu didn't dare to get close to Xiaowu and turned around and shouted at Yulang.
"That's too late!"
Yulang had experienced countless important events in the court, but he was still a little at a loss at this moment.
He had no way to contact the Master.
Based on Sha Jiayu's speed of escape, by the time they got back to Qingyang Temple, Xiaowu had already been possessed by the devil.
'call! call! call! ’
The evil spirit stirs up the heaven and earth.
In an instant, strong winds howled over Beikuo County, and rolling black clouds covered the sky. A terrible storm was brewing.
The sky suddenly darkened and it was pitch black.
“The gods are coming!”
"God help me!"
……
The surviving people knelt on the ground and shouted, with the flame of hope burning in their hearts.
Yulang and Sha Jiayu felt the bone-chilling chill even without coming into contact with the evil spirit.
Xiao Wu's strength is so terrifying, if he becomes possessed by the devil, the consequences will be disastrous!
How to do!
How to do!
Yulang was extremely anxious. He caught a glimpse of the hand from the corner of his eye, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He blurted out, "How many dead bodies and living people are there in the city?"
Sha Jiayu understood what he meant, and carefully activated his spiritual sense to scan the entire county. "There are only more than 2,000 people in total. Many people must have abandoned their homes and businesses to escape. There are only the bodies of the old couple down there. They must have been unable to move around easily, and they were reluctant to leave their hometown. Maybe their relatives are still alive!"
As he spoke, Sha Jiayu glanced up into the sky, took a drop of blood from the corpse, and took Yulang away.
"go!"
Yulang couldn't get close to Xiaowu to persuade him.
Once possessed by the devil, Xiao Wu will not recognize his relatives, and Yu Lang will be in danger.
This life-long training can now come to an end, and Yulang no longer needs to suppress his cultivation.
The gods and ghosts sealed the gate, and the jade pendant of the City God lost its effect.
But Yulang's cultivation was too low, and he could not withstand any aftermath of Xiaowu's movements.
The two of them hurriedly left Beikuo County, taking the little white fox with them, and flew for a distance before Sha Jiayu dared to release his spiritual sense.
At the same time, he held the drop of blood in his palm and made a seal.
Then, a faint golden glow appeared in that drop of blood, twisting unsteadily, and finally suddenly shot towards the east.
The two were overjoyed.
"Good! Good! Good! They still have relatives alive. I hope they are their legitimate descendants!"
Sha Jiayu prayed silently, for the living beings in this land and also for himself.
Judging from his escape speed alone, Xiao Wu's strength is at least comparable to that of a strong man in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Once Xiaowu becomes possessed and starts killing people, even if he starts to escape now, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to escape!
I just hope that this method can awaken Xiaowu's mind.
Sha Jiayu grabbed the blood drop and flew towards the east with all his might. Soon he saw a long dragon on the ground.
Obviously, these are civilians fleeing.
The enemy invaded the hinterland.
They did not dare to go south along the Fuchun River and trek on the mountain road. They were surrounded by mountains and cliffs, and they did not know what was waiting for them ahead.
'Whoosh! '
A golden light shot towards the crowd and landed on the forehead of a baby.
The woman holding the baby screamed in fear and almost threw the baby out. Then she saw two people appear before her eyes.
From the temperament and attire of the two, it is obvious that they are high-ranking officials.
However, in the fleeing team, the distinction between high and low status has become blurred.
"What do you two want to do?"
The woman hugged the baby tightly, her face full of vigilance. The relatives around her gathered around and stared at Yulang and Sha Jiayu.
"He is your son?"
Sha Jiayu pointed at the baby and asked.
The woman was about to speak when she was stopped by an old man behind her.
"No! No! He is Chen's grandson, nicknamed Wulang. Oh, this child is so pitiful. His grandfather had bad legs and feet and couldn't escape. His parents also died of illness on the way. The Chen family has only one son, and he almost became extinct. We felt sorry for the child and he was a neighbor, so we took him in. All the food and drink were squeezed out by our whole family. Just like my grandson, we didn't treat him badly. Are you two relatives of the Chen family?"
Sha Jiayu coughed lightly and handed something to the old man, "We are going to take this child away and take care of him. Thank you for taking care of him for so long."
The old man felt his palm sink and he clenched his fist subconsciously. He vaguely saw a hint of gold between his fingers and immediately smiled.
"As it should be! As it should be! This child has suffered so much, and he will definitely become rich and powerful if he follows the two young masters in the future..."
The old man complimented the other person, but his mind was on the things in his hands. He was not paying attention and realized that the other person was missing.
When I asked people around them, they couldn't explain how they left.
After taking the baby away, the two rushed back to Beikuo County without stopping.
The dark clouds over the city dissipated, and Xiaowu disappeared as well.
Fortunately, the people in the city are still alive.
Sha Jiayu flew to a high place, looked around, and vaguely saw a group of dark clouds in the western sky.
"I don't know if I can catch up."
Sha Jiayu smiled bitterly and took Yulang with him to chase after them, but he could only watch the dark clouds moving farther and farther away.
……
Among the dark clouds.
Xiaowu took off her disguise and turned back into a little girl of five or six years old.
Surrounded by demonic energy, her aura fluctuated.
Her eyes were closed, but her eyelids were trembling violently, indicating that she was experiencing a fierce struggle in her heart.
Suddenly, Xiaowu's eyelids stopped trembling.
'Shuh! '
His eyes opened, revealing black pupils.
The eyeballs were pitch black, without a single color, like a pair of devilish pupils that could devour everything.
'boom! ’
The evil spirit completely lost its restraints!
In a mountain.
A cultivator was sitting cross-legged in the cave, with a pale aura floating in front of him.
This breath was wriggling like human brain matter, which was disgusting.
There is no smell of blood, but instead a sweet scent.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to extract enough human bone marrow so quickly. It only takes a hundred days of tempering to help me perfect my magical power. Troubled times are good! Troubled times are good!"
The monk said excitedly, holding the essence of bone marrow in his hands and was about to refine it, when he suddenly felt cold all over.
There is no reason.
The monk's smile froze, and before he could understand what was happening, a stream of five-colored light suddenly shot into the cave.
In an instant, the monk disappeared into thin air.
Outside the cave, demonic clouds rolled and flew through the sky, and Xiao Wu's demonic pupils moved slightly.
A soul was imprisoned in the five-colored light and flew back.
The monk was extremely frightened and begged for mercy desperately, but to no avail. His expression suddenly became dull.
I don’t know where Xiaowu learned the soul-searching technique, maybe he learned it on his own.
The monk's soul let out a wail and perished in endless pain.
This cultivator was the first person Xiao Wu had killed since Qin Sang asked her to restrain her murderous nature!
She did not retaliate after being betrayed by Meng Yusu.
The Master died in battle, but she did not intervene in the mortal struggle in order to preserve the Master's integrity.
Life is full of ups and downs, and people are like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to escape forever.
She didn't know how to deal with it, and made a different choice from Yulang. She entered the world but was detached from it, opened a teahouse, and watched the world with cold eyes.
However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.
Once the killing spree began, Xiao Wu's gaze became even deeper, his devilish pupils were like a deep pool, deep and bottomless!
She had a feeling that she was about to lose control.
'Whoosh! '
Xiaowu soon came to a valley full of palaces and pavilions.
The demon pupil turned slightly and locked onto a black palace at the edge of the valley.
In the main hall, several monks were happily discussing their harvest.
"I didn't expect that those eerie ghosts would collect so many good things!" Someone put out a few treasures and couldn't let go of them.
Some people were dissatisfied, "Since ancient times, corpses and ghosts have been equally famous. Brothers belittle ghosts and gods, but they are scolding everyone together."
"This stack of fox fur is really good. My cultivation is a little low, but we share the same bloodline, so we can be integrated into one without any effort..."
Deep in the valley, there is a more powerful existence, exuding its aura unscrupulously.
Looking at the valley, a faint blood color appeared in the depths of Xiaowu's demonic pupils.
……
Strange peaks stand among the mountains.
On top of the mountain, there is a stone platform with a chessboard and two cushions on it.
On one side of the chessboard, there sat a white-haired man with a strange face. His hands were placed on his knees, as crystal clear as jade, and his chest did not rise or fall at all.
A beam of light flew over from afar and landed on the stone platform, revealing a monster with a green face and fangs. With a faint light flashing, it turned into an ordinary-looking man, bowed and called out, "Uncle Master Qi."
"Yinshi, you are here."
The white-haired man pointed to the chessboard and said, "Play a game with me."
"Yes!"
Yin Shi sat down respectfully opposite him. Knowing his uncle's temper well, he played with white first without any hesitation.
As he made his move, he said, "According to the orders of my uncle, all the disobedient ghosts and gods have been dealt with. There will be no external interference in this game of secular chess."
The white-haired man nodded casually, not caring about such a trivial matter.
Yin Shi chuckled, "Yun Dutian is indeed hypocritical. He doesn't want to bear the bad reputation and tacitly allows us to take action."
"The human world is vast, with a population of hundreds of millions and a flourishing divine way. But there isn't even a City God at the Spiritualization Stage, let alone the Void Refining Stage. Why do you think that is? Is it because they don't have enough talent, or do they not want to break through?"
The white-haired man spoke sarcastically.
Yin Shi naturally understood and laughed strangely a few times.
'Snapped! '
The white-haired man dropped a chess piece and looked out of the mountain. "The Immortal Cultivation World, the Secular World, and the Northern Fire Region, three chess games played together. Senior Brother Jingzang has great skills!"
Yin Shi showed a look of reverence, "Lord Jingzang's arrangement is very popular. We youngsters can motivate others and don't have to die in vain. It's better to let our friends die than to let me die. It's also a good thing that Uncle Master comes to take charge of the situation and avoid a direct confrontation with Yun Dutian. I heard that the nine Yundu immortals have come down the mountain one after another."
"The outcome will ultimately depend on the north. However, with these two chess pieces, there will be a buffer. We can put the final struggle here, which is better than a head-on fight between the two sides to the death."
The white-haired man paused, as if he sensed something, and his brows gradually frowned.
"Ok?"
The white-haired man stood up suddenly and shouted coldly, "Who dares to break the rules?"
