March 569 of the El Tienau calendar, Reince Thielen, a hundred miles outside the city

"The Japanese girl is really inexplicable. She stopped us and asked us to leave without doing anything. I really don't know what we are doing?"

"But, we didn’t get nothing. Before we set off, Sister Liya had said that we might run into Miss Xiang during this trip. If we do meet, we will let her decide, even if nothing happens in the end. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do it."

Returning from crossing the sea in Japan, Yuxue and Fenghua are on their way back to Reins. Neither of them knows the ending of the battle in Jixia City, nor that the grass that planned all the actions has been sealed. They were sent to Japan to transplant the undead trees. At a critical moment when they were about to fail, they were rescued by Oda Ka who suddenly appeared, but they were also prevented from completing the task.

Since the death of Bai Qi, Oda Ka, who has walked the last journey of life with Bai Qi, has attracted attention from all walks of life, because Bai Qi has countless personality, if there is any legacy that will be implemented after death , The person in charge must be Oda Ka.

However, Oda Xiang, who left Alcatraz Island, is still unknown. Not only is the enemy unable to grasp her whereabouts, but Reins can't even contact her. Even if she is close to Fenger, she can't communicate with Weaver. Tian Xiang got in touch. Xiaocao doesn't believe that this is out of willfulness or fun. Ninety-nine percent of it is because Oda Xiang is really doing something.

"Big brother has a brilliant plan. If he knows what plans he has, I think it will be a lot easier on our side; even if he doesn't have any arrangements, Miss Oda Ka is also a very precious Saitian power for us. "

Kakusa said the value of Oda Ka, but even she smiled bitterly at it, because with her white personality, she never believed in the abilities of others, and has always done things on her own. If Oda Ka inherits With this kind of thinking and style, there is no room for cooperation between the two parties.

"I can't guess what the eldest brother is going to do, but in terms of possibility, if he really has a lasting strategy, I think it should fall on the top of the undead tree..."

As a result, just as Xiaocao expected, Yuxue and Fenghua met Oda Xiang outside the Cave of the Undead Tree, but she prevented the plan from proceeding and drove away. Although Oda Xiang was also responsible for handling the aftermath and preventing them from leaving a trace of the Kunlun Mountains, Yuxue was still very dissatisfied.

"Mystery, what do you do!"

Fenghua did not respond to Yuxue's words. She followed Yuxue silently, but she still appeared shy and calm, making the Snowman who had been pestering her talk like a mouse and a turtle, unable to find a place to speak.

But just halfway through their return to Jixia, something strange happened. Halfway through the journey, the ground in front of me seemed to have been burned by fire, and it was scorched all over. Judging from the traces of the depression, it seemed that something fell from the sky and hit this place like this.

"Meteor? Maybe you will find something good!"

There was snow full of expectation, leaving behind the grace of walking slowly, and came to the center of the charred pit first. No metal minerals were seen. Only half of the almost ripe organic matter was found in the charred pit.

"What, what is this?"

Judging from the smell alone, Youxue thought it was like a barbecue. The problem is that half of the "barbecue" suddenly opened her eyes, and her sharp eyes swept away. Youxue was so frightened that she quit, but her **** Before landing, the short and fat neck was pinched.

The scorched and carbonized arms can't even recognize the palms and fingers, but the huge force pinched in the throat is not a joke. The Snowman's eyes whitened in an instant, and he almost passed out into a coma, only hearing what he heard from his ears. The gentle and gentle voice of the wind.

"Senior, please stop, we are not malicious. Killing my friend here will not show your prestige. It is not something you should do. Please stop."

"Huh!"

There was a cold snort at close range. Although weak, he was full of domineering arrogance. You Xue couldn't say that he knew this voice well, but he immediately had the correct association in his mind.

(Much, Dorgon? What a shame! Who cooked him?)

Before the Snowman fainted, the treacherous and sinister smiling faces of the righteous brothers appeared in front of them...

As previously speculated by Goro Goro, the impact of the Battle of Jixia is not limited to humans, even the demons have suffered a major blow in consternation.

Time seems to be a coincidence. It happened shortly after the Battle of Jixia. Through the efforts of the Brothel Alliance, the true face of the Deep Blue Devil was shocked, and it was conveyed from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm.

For most humans, this news is simply shocking, but in the eyes of the demons, this is not simply a surprise that can be explained. The Demon God, the Deep Blue Demon King who claims to be the common ancestor of all the demons, is actually a human being. If this news comes true, the blow to the morale of the demons will be unprecedented.

But the Mozu couldn't find a reason to refute. The Brothel Alliance didn't just spread rumors. It also sent videos while spreading the rumors. Although it is said that Quan Ying and Ni'er had witnessed that scene of demonic energy, Pandora has special technology to transcribe the memory screen into images through the memories of Quan Ying and Ni'er, and then record them in the magic spar. Sent to the hands of the major tribes of the Demon Realm, and also passed back to the Human Realm.

The Aisin Gioro family is not the descendant of the Deep Blue Devil, and will not be specially blessed by the Deep Blue Devil, and may even be cursed!

When people began to gradually understand this fact, the ruling foundation that has supported the Aisin Gioro family for tens of millions of years was shaken in an instant. Although the problem has not surfaced, and no Demon Tribe has taken the lead in rebelling, but people can see from each other’s eyes that a big psychological crack has appeared. A large-scale rebellion will happen sooner or later, and as long as there is any The weak tribe takes the lead, and the order of the entire demon world will collapse in an instant, turning into an unstoppable turbulent flow.

It is true that strength is always respected among the demons. Even if there is no Deep Blue Demon King as a backer, the strength of the Great Demon King is invincible in the world. This is a fact. However, even if invincible, there is only Yinzhen alone, love There are no other masters in the Xinjueluo clan, and it is an ironclad fact. When Yinzhen is entangled to death in the human world and has no time to take care of the demon world, people's ambitions will be moved around.

The messenger of the Brothel Alliance, after the true face of the Deep Blue Demon King was revealed, also actively communicated among the major tribes of the Demon Realm, conveying a message, saying that as long as the tribe initiates a rebellion, the Brothel Alliance is willing to form an alliance with it and spare no effort to keep Yinzhen In the human world, help them achieve dominance in the demon world. When Yinzhen is destined to return to the demon world, he is already unable to return to the sky. By then, the two sides will divide the world equally.

"The idea of ​​the various tribes of the Demon Realm must be to take the world first, and then eliminate our brothel in turn. Thank God for this. Most of the residents of the Demon Realm have low IQs, and we don’t count on them much anyway. What? As long as they initiate a mutiny and make the Demon World chaotic, it is not our business when Yinzhen will come back to kill them all."

Pandora, who made all the tactics to disturb the enemy, said this very coldly, but it did make a difference.

Actually, Yinzhen’s side was not without the chance. Even in the face of such a major blow, they can use intelligence operations to attack back. However, it is a coincidence, when the deadly rumors are like Shi Chong, who was in charge of controlling the intelligence and spy system of the Demon Race, burned like wildfire in the demon world and the human world, but was killed in the Battle of Jixia, and was executed by the Great Demon King himself.

Originally, if Shi Chong was still there, with his intelligence and ability, as well as the intelligence personnel system in his hands, he could use the means of intelligence warfare to fight Pandora in the opposite direction, but with him Yinzhen also lost his ability to control the dark forces of the Qianye family. After all, the dark forces belonging to the Qianye family were only loyal to the lord Shi Chong, but had no obligation to Yinzhen. Shi Chong died. These people All disappeared, returned to the shady scene, and no longer contacted the demons.

Shi Chong's death caused more losses than these. His own value alone is a loss that a demons cannot afford.

Since the emergence of the Zhaitian warrior, Shi Chong’s strong power has been inferior and has become less noticeable, but he still assists the administration of the Great Demon King, taking over most of the military and political work of the Demon Clan. And he took the initiative to play a black face to reduce the possible conflict between his subordinates and the lord. Even Xu Liewu, who had always been hostile to him, had to admit that he was the number one minister of the demons.

On the other hand, Shi Chong is also the leader of the Mozu conservative forces. All the veterans who strongly advocate the rights and interests of the Mozu are looking forward to and retreating with him. When such a character is executed by the Great Demon King himself on the battlefield, what kind of commotion will it cause? This is something that people don't even dare to think about.

At the moment of Shi Chong's death, many magicians and warriors of the Demon Race felt that he was killed by the Great Demon King, which is very difficult to lose. If Yinzhen denies it, denounces it as the enemy’s strategy, or gives some explanation, then people will not burst out immediately even if they have doubts in their hearts. However, after the battle of Jixia, Yinzhen will not come out and be in no way to the outside world. He ignored everything, let alone answered any questions about his execution of Shi Chong. In the eyes of the officials, he would naturally think that His Majesty the Demon King was prepared to deal with this matter with a strong and high pressure attitude.

But Shi Chong's position is not comparable to that of ordinary officials, let alone those who can kill unexplained clerical officials. Yin Zhen executed Shi Chong without giving any explanation. In the eyes of the Mozu conservative forces, there will naturally be doubts about whether your Majesty has sent the conservatives to a massacre and forsake the old ministers because he protects His Royal Highness Xu Liewu. , So that the power will be handed over in the future?

Fear, leads to anger, and then transforms into hatred, which is spread in the hearts of the Demon Generals. When the rumors of the true face of the Dark Blue Demon spread all over the Continent of Wind in one night, an unprecedented occurrence within the Demon Race The army was shaken. It was not only the conservatives headed by Shi Chong, but also the reformists under Xu Liewu’s command. After all, everyone knew that Shi Chong was not only Yinzhen’s top minister, but also a follower for many years. Therefore, if the Great Demon King could even execute his close friends without asking for reasons, this kind of moody monarch would be extremely unstable in his mental state, and he might not end well if he followed him.

It's not that Yinzhen didn't know these noises, but he didn't have any extra thoughts to care about or ask. The fierce battle in Jixia city almost completely knocked him down.

In the battle of Jixia, the physical damage was not too serious. Although the energy wastage was large, it recovered after a few days of recuperation. The overall injuries were not as serious as those in the final battle with Li Yu. The experience of fighting against Li Yu has benefited Yinzhen a lot, and as a result, he has improved his cultivation base, and was able to defeat the heroes in Jixia City, and his injuries recovered faster than last time.

But physical injury is not the main problem. Mental shock is the main cause that makes it difficult for Yinzhen to recover. The several servants who were close to the Great Demon King all had similar feelings, that is, His Majesty Yinzhen seemed to be hundreds of years old in days, and the tired expression in his eyes seemed to be like an exhausted old man.

There is no other reason. The two dead who lost their lives in the battle of Jixia are the source of Yinzhen's strong sense of fatigue.

In terms of personal wishes, Yinzhen is very reluctant to do anything with Mei Lin, and is even serious about Hai Jiaxuan's surrender. The reason for this is not just because of blood, but also because of a sense of loneliness that no one can understand.

Half a lifetime of manipulating the hegemony of the demons, now martial arts are invincible, no one can stop the world, and they have more control over the most powerful power on this land, but looking back, apart from the so-called large swaths of people lying under their feet The "loyal minister" could not find a few people who could speak equally, even though he was proud of his martial arts and achievements, but if there were no people who had walked through that era with him, these so-called unparalleled achievements, In fact, it will only make yourself more lonely.

Therefore, Yinzhen is actually very reluctant to do anything to Mei Lin, hoping to save her life as much as possible. As long as the damage she and Hai Jiaxuan can cause is kept below a certain level, it doesn't matter if she doesn't surrender to herself. .

Helplessly backfired, the only remaining blood relative was killed by his own fist in the end, and it became an eternal regret in my heart. However, this regret had been psychologically prepared in advance. It was not something unexpected, but Shi Chong's sudden death, which caused Yinzhen's unexpected blow.

For many years, this veteran has supported himself behind his back. Even though he has gained the dark power of the Chiba family, he is still wholeheartedly loyal to himself. He has never had a double heart. This kind of loyalty is simply incredible among the demons. Although he never said it, he was really grateful for Shi Chong's loyalty.

If Shi Chong has that meaning, with his talents and resources, he can definitely obtain a higher position than he is now. Only under the Great Demon King, he disregards the entire demon clan, and Xu Liewu, who has a shallow foundation, does not have it. He might compete with him, but Shi Chong restrained himself, showed humility, and obeyed every command of the lord. Yinzhen knew that this was because Shi Chong was full of wishes, and he was only pursuing the prosperity of the demons and the position of personal glory. Although it is not unimportant, before this great goal, those *** can be suppressed or even abandoned.

Such a rare loyal minister and a comrade who fought for a common ideal, died suddenly before that great goal was achieved. Yinzhen was really unacceptable.

Since Shi Chong's dedication and achievements, Yin Zhen kept silent about the truth of Shi Chong's death, and did not tell anyone that Shi Chong was killed by the Lord because he wanted to protect the Huatian evil. Shi Chong has been the mainstay of the Mozu conservatives throughout his life. Even though he is dead, Yinzhen does not want his former comrades to know the truth and destroy his reputation and status.

This is certainly a sympathetic friendship between the monarch and his subjects, but in terms of politics, there are also reasons to do so. The true face of the Deep Blue Demon is human. This incident has already dealt a major blow to the demons. If it is reported that the conservative leaders who advocated "reducing the number of humans and absolutely enslaving mankind" throughout his life had fallen in love with mankind and had children, and had to protect this mixed race. The news of the death is simply a huge scandal. The demons have already shaken the military spirit, and will even collapse because of it.

Two thousand years ago, in the Kyushu War, although the Aixinjueluo family was fighting continuously, there has never been such a strong crisis of confidence. In order to prevent the risk from expanding, Yinzhen had to bear all the secrets and swallow all the secrets. With the supreme authority of the Great Demon King, he suppressed the astonishment and doubts of all the demons, and then turned everyone's eyes to the undead tree.

Originally, Yinzhen went to Jixia in order to use the Hell Box to obtain Xiaocao’s talents and break the barrier around the undead tree. However, in the Battle of Jixia, the Hell Box was destroyed in Dafan Purgatory. Under the impact of the knife, the energy absorbed was also used to crack the Dafan Purgatory Knife. This tactical skill failed. But because Mei Lin died in battle, the barrier of the Undead Tree collapsed and dissipated, and the Demon Race finally completely grasped the Undead Tree.

After the end of the battle of Jixia, Yinzhen did not return to Zhongdu, but immediately took the route to the northeast and came to Kunlun Mountain in person to participate in the use of undead trees. Every member of the Demon Race knows the importance of the undead tree to the Demon Race, but His Majesty the Great Demon King’s overly secretive and powerful style has also reached its limit with uneasy tension. In such an atmosphere, one by one The man who wanted to hide and heal his wounds was dragged out and pushed to Kunlun Mountain.

※※※

"Hey! Don't go too far! What I say is also a serious injury. I should take a good rest. At this time, I was dragged out and forced to push me to Kunlun Mountain. I had to pass Reings on the way, those guys. All insidious and cunning, what if you take the opportunity to assassinate me?"

After Shi Chong died on the battlefield, Ming Fu actually became the second figure of the Demon Race. Xu Liewu, who enjoys the highest position, can't see half joy, but is more troubled than before.

The battle of Jixia was attacked by Dorgon's defection. Xu Liewu's injuries were definitely not minor, and he even had to pretend to be angry to escape the scene. In fact, even though he was seriously injured at the time, if he were to let go, Fenger and Airing alone would definitely not be able to stop him, but Xu Liewu, who vowed to take care of all beautiful things, did not want to be in such an uncontrollable situation. In the battle, the two ladies were hurt by recklessness, so they would rather run away with trickery than forcibly break through.

As a survivor of the Battle of Jixia, Xu Liewu knew far more truth than others. In addition to lamenting that Hua Tianxie couldn’t listen to his warning after all, he ended up like this, but also for Shi Chong’s. Sudden death and sad. Emotionally, Shi Chong is still Xu Liewu’s brother and enemy, but Shi Chong’s act of giving up his life for his son made Xu Liewu feel a sense of beauty. Apart from admiration, he also lost his hatred invisibly. No longer care about the hatred of Shi Chong.

(Speaking of Hua Tianxie’s luck, there is such a good old man, um...Where did Hua Tianxie go? It won’t just disappear, right?)

Based on the responsibility of the leader, after Xu Liewu returned to Zhongdu, he immediately issued an order to want Hua Tianxie and Dorgon. Although the order was severe, how much material meaning could it have, even Xu Liewu? I also feel suspicious, because with the current strength of the demons, those so-called "elite combat power" encountering these two thorny characters can only be slaughtered.

(So it has been said that the Demon Race is short of manpower. Alas, the enemies in front have not been exterminated, and the enemies behind have emerged one by one. Is it our turn to be the enemy?)

The backlog of problems is increasing. Xu Liewu, who is in the central capital, has finally reached a point where he can't stand the pressure from all sides. He needs to tie the bell to untie the bell. He originally wanted to leave time for his father to meditate, but he was forced to leave Zhongdu and go to Kunlun Mountain to ask the truth in person.

The undead tree cave in Kunlun Mountain is now the most important military site of the Demon Race. Not only is it guarded by heavy soldiers outside, but there is also the most terrifying guard inside: the Great Demon King.

When Xu Liewu stepped into the undead tree cave and watched the giant tree of sacred wood that had changed its shape, gave birth to countless branches and vines, and climbed straight toward the sky, he was also surprised at the magnificence of this scene. Compared with the sacred tree that has broken open the cave rock wall, it shows exuberant vitality, and it grows upright to the sky, and the Yinzhen standing under the tree looking up looks really small.

Xu Liewu didn't say much, but quietly and quietly came under the undead tree and looked up at the giant tree with his father.

"...When I was in Jixia, the girl Liya once intimidated me, saying that the Queen Mother of the West had the secret method of manipulating the undead tree, and had already attacked this place with strange soldiers, which caused my heart to be upset. After the war, I rushed to Kunlun Mountain. I saw that the enchantment had been resolved, and I asked the garrison generals, everyone said that no abnormalities had occurred. It seemed that the girl Liya had fooled me... But why... I feel so uncomfortable? "

Xu Liewu couldn't answer the question that Yinzhen asked indifferently. For their type of planners who often calculate the overall situation, in addition to their own rational thinking, those improper and ominous premonitions that occasionally come to mind are also very important points to mention. It may be that they have not thought well and missed it. Some very serious things are captured by the subconscious mind, so there is this kind of premonition that transcends rationality.

However, these premonitions may not be accurate sometimes, especially when the body and mind are under extreme stress and anxiety. Such premonitions are more likely to be wrong. There is no doubt that the three brothers and sisters of the White Family have become a source of pressure for the entire Demon Clan. Even the Great Demon King himself has suffered several severe losses, and he is deeply jealous when he hears the name of the Bai Family.

Seeing such a father, Xu Liewu couldn't help but feel fortunate. He was responsible for the attack on Alcatraz Island without being provoked by Shi Chong a few times. The Bai family's three brothers and sisters are so difficult, Alcatraz Island is their lair, although it is not impossible to take it down, but the first unfortunate person to be responsible for attacking Alcatraz Island will definitely have to pay a heavy price.

(Um, but is that lady Liya really just intimidating? When we were in Jixia, we really didn’t see Queen Mother West. Where did she go? Is she really playing psychological warfare? Or is she doing something else? Strategy?)

This matter cannot be confirmed, because Xiaocao is now sealed in the barrier, and Xu Liewu can't open the barrier to inquire. However, since he came to this half-destroyed cave, his father's eyes have been looking at the undead tree, and he didn't even look at himself. Going down this way is not a way. He has to let him speak and attract his attention. The best way is to throw a shocking pop.

"I heard that your Majesty has admired humans before?"

The back of the father in front of Xu Liewu's eyes suddenly shocked when he heard this sentence, and he was obviously attracted by this sentence. In fact, during the Great War of Kyushu two thousand years ago, Yinzhen did have a good feeling for a certain human woman, even close to admiration, but the other party was one of his father’s concubines, and Yinzhen never expressed this feeling. Later, it didn't stop, but it was mentioned to Xu Liewu inadvertently, and this clever son grasped the clues and guessed it.

"Well, there is such a thing...but people who have to do important things should not delay for the love of their children. I have never abandoned the devil's great cause because of indulging in the tender country, let alone sacrifice myself for a woman. ."

To put it simply, he will never be as stupid as Shi Chong, for the love of men and women, the love of the house and the black, he will lose his life in the end. Xu Liewu, who accidentally provokes his father's remarks, raised his eyebrows, and sighed in his heart that this great man's father only wanted to dominate the demons all his life, and he had not even talked about a minimum of love. It was tasteless and boring. This view is not surprising. However, just as Xu Liewu was thinking wildly in his mind, a soft sigh came from his ear.

"If you really want to sacrifice...I will only do it for my children, never for any woman."

What? What did the great man just say? Is there something wrong with your ears? Why do you hear something very unreasonable?

Xu Liewu, with a shocked expression on his face, looked at his father in astonishment, but saw that he was flat, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the words just now.

"It's time to tell you what happened. Do you remember that you asked me when your brother met with me, what did the father and son talk about?"

Xu Liewu's heart was shocked. He didn't expect that he who was going to throw a shock bomb was thrown by his father. Back then, Kublai and Yinzhen met alone. After a close conversation, Kublai returned to Wulian to rebel and died in battle. What did the father and son talk about? Kublai never mentioned to his younger brother, Xu Lie Wu asked Yinzhen, and Yinzhen never answered, but now...this secret seems to be solved.
