Chapter 1238: Betrayal of Shushan
The Fantasy Scroll is a magic weapon from the second generation of The Legend of Sword and Fairy. It was once used by Kong Lin to summon a painting demon to disguise as Zhao Linger, and then used it to seal Li Xiaoyao, who was at his peak, for several years.
This scroll exists in an almost completely real fantasy world, inhabited by thousands of painting monsters led by the Painting Monster King. Its practicality, to a certain extent, exceeds the three magic weapons that are sought in the main plot.
Therefore, it can completely trap Xiaoyaozi, especially since the Taoist priest who had fought against Xiaoyaozi before also entered the scroll to restrain him. It seems that without external help, Xiaoyaozi is already in a state of imprisonment.
"hateful!"
The person who is the most angry at the moment is Kong Lin, because according to the attraction of fate, this fantasy scroll should have been his magic weapon, including the howling wolf that was killed by Xue Wuxia before, who was just following him to make a living in the beginning.
But now, his offspring and his weapons have abandoned him. What's the difference between him and the minotaur!
Facing the sea of blood that was coming towards him, Qin Fan just glanced at it. Others who had reached the Tianyan realm or even the Fashang realm who had comprehended the first level of a realm did not rush to take action.
After all, this is just an appetizer. Looking at the entire generation of Immortal Sword, the Red Ghost King was a waste who was beaten up by Li Xiaoyao who had been practicing for several months. Even at this time, he could use the energy of the Demon Transformation Pool and some unknown means to use the blessing of the sea of blood to reach the Dharma Realm.
But it's still not worth mentioning.
Compared to the riot in the sea of blood, the identity of the Taoist priest who just confronted Xiaoyaozi is more crucial.
The strong ones whose combat power has reached a certain level once again consciously formed a circle.
Xue Wuxia and Zhang Sanfeng from the Taoist realm, Dugu Yuyun and Situ Zhong from Mount Shu, Yan Yuxin from the Northern Border Palace, Mara, Yuya, Black Tathagata and the monk Shifa from the Buddhist Land Alliance, Yuhuangtian, Liu Bai, Wang Xianzhi and Dugu Qiubai from the Great Xuan Dynasty, Qin Fan, Long Ming and Feng Mo from the Ghost Market.
As well as Fan Wanqian and Kong Lin from Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
After they all began to gather together, they followed the path opened up by others and moved steadily towards the interior of the sea of blood.
"You all saw it just now, right?" Qin Fan asked first, and paused for a moment on the faces of several Tianyan realm masters.
Everyone nodded, and then Xue Wuxia spoke.
"It's the head of Taiqing Sect."
"Master! It can't be the Master! Absolutely not." Dugu Yuyun's reaction was the most intense.
But when he looked into Xue Wuxia's emotionless eyes, he fell silent.
Although he did not fully see the confrontation between the Taoist priest and Xiaoyaozi, when his spiritual power was able to break through the double constraints of the sea of blood and demonic energy and perceive a glimpse of the scene, he only captured the moment when the Taoist priest entered the scroll.
But just a frozen picture was enough to let him know the other party's identity.
That is why when the four saints under his command began to fight the monsters in the sea of blood, he, the man who hated monsters the most, was unusually silent.
Until Xue Wuxia confirmed his identity, the fantasy in his heart was once again shattered.
“In fact, they were able to directly assist the Far East Demon Realm before the Dao Realm was even aware of it. Of course, they could also be assisting the world power that supported the Demon Realm’s counterattack against Jiuzhou to take over the entire Shu Mountain at such a swift speed.
This approach has narrowed the candidates to a limited number of people.
To be more precise, those few people were accomplices. "
Qin Fan's words were not directed to Dugu Yuyun who was already somewhat emotionally broken. The person he was looking at was Situ Zhong.
This man looks sloppy on weekdays, but is calmer and can confirm this judgment from the perspective of an outsider. He also has a very good understanding of the internal situation of Shushan. He is the best person to verify Qin Fan's guess.
"I thought it would be Senior Brother Jiang Qing." Situ Zhong laughed bitterly, then with a sword move he blasted a brainless fly monster that pounced on him into pieces, then took out the wine gourd and took a sip.
“The howling wolf just now should be from the command of Flag Officer Kong, but seeing that Flag Officer Kong has fallen to the point of betraying his own tribe, I can probably guess that he was usurped by the Demon Lord Hun Tian who has been stirring up trouble in the Far East Demon Realm recently.
According to the fateful story, Senior Brother Jiang Qing fell in love with Yue Rouxia, the daughter of the Demon Lord Hun Tian, and even betrayed Shushan for this. I have also carefully read examples of love tribulations, especially the brainless performance of Xie Xiaofeng and Murong Qiudi in the battle for the Hidden Dragon List.
So my first suspicion has never been on the leader.
I have also imagined that the Five Elders have lost their minds because they have seen how quickly my senior brother and I have grown stronger recently, and that the Seven Saints, who are younger generations, are about to surpass them.
Therefore, while we were participating in the succession ceremony, he began to practice the forbidden magic, which gave birth to the Evil Sword Immortal, which led to a major change in Shushan.
But why. Why is it the head of the sect?"
"It should be said that Taiqing Muslims are the most normal."
Qin Fan frowned slightly because he saw an extremely disgusting monster. It looked like a human, but had countless holes on its body. Small insects kept flying out of the holes. These small insects were controlling the human corpse and were about to attack them.
Noticing Qin Fan's gaze, Feng Mo also saw the insect monster. He sent out a whirlwind of wind from his finger, completely killing it, and then blew on his finger, feeling a little uneasy.
Qin Fan continued speaking after his complexion improved.
“Tai Qing Zhenren is a predestined body, and his experience is not complete based on our current conventional means of understanding. We only know that he is the first generation leader of Shushan Xianjian Sect, and under the guidance of the Emperor of Heaven, he is the first person to achieve immortality in the flesh.
Afterwards, he can also communicate with the successive leaders of the Shushan Sect through the power of heaven and earth.
This intelligence is the key.”
"Fuxi Heavenly Palace?" Fan Wanqian remembered the many questions Qin Fan had asked about this force before, and couldn't help but piece together some of the truth.
But representatives of other forces found this name extremely unfamiliar.
At Qin Fan's nod, Fan Wanqian told everyone some information about Fuxi Palace. Of course, he did not forget to emphasize that most of the other party's strong men were destined to be from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, including the master of Fuxi Palace, Fuxi, who called himself the Emperor of Heaven.
Combined with the information about the destiny body of the Taoist Master Taiqing that Qin Fan just mentioned, it is not difficult to understand why the other party did not cling to the Taoist thigh with the Jiutian Taoist Palace behind him, but instead launched this rebellion.
At the same time, it also allowed them to basically confirm that the opponent they were about to face had a 90% chance of being Fuxi Heavenly Palace.
“If that’s the case, then whether it’s the leader, the five elders, or even most of the members of Shushan, there’s a great possibility that they will turn to Fuxi Heavenly Palace because of the so-called opportunity to become immortals.” Dugu Yuyun, who had finally calmed down, decisively came to this conclusion.
Although they are now following the martial arts path and there is no possibility of becoming immortals, it can be seen as a shortcut to a higher realm. Because of the fateful connection, there must be a technique in Fuxi Heavenly Palace or in Fuxi's hands that is extremely suitable for the Shushan School.
There may even be some magical powers like Qin Fan's Heavenly Demon Fruit just now, which can directly cleanse the bones and greatly develop the understanding.
This is probably one of the reasons why Shushan decisively chose to turn to Fuxi Heavenly Palace.
Putting aside the fact that Taoist Taiqing has already confirmed his position, the Five Elders of Mount Shu, Qingwei, Jingming, Heyang, Canggu and Youxuan, created an Evil Sword Immortal because their qualifications were limited and they had to learn this forbidden magic.
The ultimate goal is to become an immortal.
This is not only the obsession of the successive leaders of the Shushan Sect, but also one of the fateful disasters that they cannot avoid.
It is even possible that in their understanding, Fuxi Heavenly Palace is their own people, while Daoyu and the Jiutian Dao Palace behind it are among the invaders who occupy this world.
"Unforgivable! Junior brother, I want to clean up the mess, do you agree?"
Dugu Yuyun looked at Situ Zhong who looked hesitant with his sharp eyes.
Compared with the former's righteous way of dealing with the situation, he still wanted to find a balance point, rather than directly getting into a life-and-death situation with his former fellow disciples.
The two of them just exchanged glances, and Dugu Yuyun knew that his junior fellow apprentice was starting to act up again.
He then looked at Xue Wuxia and said.
"Dugu is willing to take over the position of the head of Shushan, please agree, Palace Master."
Xue Wuxia was very satisfied with the other party's almost inhumane way of handling the matter. Since these clues have basically confirmed that some of the Shushan high-level officials have turned to Fuxi Heavenly Palace, then Fuxi, as the master of the Heavenly Palace, must be targeting the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.
Moreover, he has demonstrated his determination by directly unsealing the entire Far East Demon Realm and overthrowing the Demon Locking Tower.
So why should those on Shushan who have already chosen sides try to pull the other side back?
Moreover, judging from the different positions of the Dao Domain, where the old Shushan faction is suspected to be more inclined towards Fuxi Heavenly Palace, but the young and middle-aged faction is on the other side, it also shows that there are fundamental differences between the two sides in certain concepts.
Just because the other party allows the evil to break out means that he is doomed to die.
"Dugu Yuyun." Xue Wuxia looked at the other party and said, "As the master of Daoshen Palace, I appoint you as the acting head of Shushan. Those who have defected to Fuxi Tiangong among the former Shushan disciples can be killed on the spot!"
"Yes!"
After Dugu Yuyun bowed, he glanced coldly at Situ Zhong who was hesitant to speak.
He took the lead and rushed towards the sea of blood that was gathering again in front of him. Then, he saw a huge image of the sword god, with endless sword energy bursting out from his body. It smashed the blood-colored waves that were about to swallow him like a hurricane!
And as soon as the Red Ghost King emerged from the sea of blood, he was slashed with a sharp and angry sword, directly killing him!
Just looking at the current situation, it seems that as long as the blood sea is immortal, the Red Ghost King will not die. This also makes Dugu Yuyun increase the output of sword energy. With his current power, he can block the spread of the entire blood sea by himself.
As for the various little monsters that jumped out of the sea of blood, they were intercepted by Gu Jiantang, Ning Xiaoyao, Shi Wuzun, Yan Kuangshan and other representatives of forces who had not gone deep into the area and had already set up a safety line.
"Don't waste time here, we need to hurry up."
Qin Fan glanced around. Although the sea of blood was completely suppressed by Dugu Yuyun, it also restricted their speed of advancement to a certain extent, so they could not be allowed to indulge in a one-on-one battle now.
Therefore, at this time, someone needs to take the initiative to volunteer to assist.
"Let me do it."
Dugu Qiubai stood up silently. In fact, the most suitable candidate was Situ Zhong. After all, these two brothers were entangled in two generations, so they naturally had extraordinary tacit understanding in cooperation. However, he obviously had his own ideas, and might be unwilling to accept it and wanted to ask the five elders in person.
That's why he chose to remain silent, and seeing Dugu Yuyun's mad attack, it was not appropriate for others to intervene. Instead, it would be more appropriate to join forces with his brother Dugu Qiubai, who had been secretly competing with him before but was actually a bit arrogant on both sides.
Sure enough, after Dugu Qiubai soared into the air and directly entered the swordless state, Dugu Yuyun just took a look and also silently released his domain!
At this moment, there was no trace of rejection between the sword arts of both sides, and they even began to gradually merge.
This performance reminded Qin Fan of 'Yue' who could do the same, and this made him frown subconsciously.
He looked at Feng Mo and asked.
"Logically speaking, Yue should have arrived at Dongxuan Prefecture."
Feng Mo nodded, looking somewhat puzzled, but when he took out the voice transmission token, there was a hint of depth in his eyes.
"The outside world. No, it should be said that except for the Dongxuan Prefecture, there is no way to get in touch. This state seems to be completely blocked from the Nine Provinces by an invisible force."
“Invisible force.”
Qin Fan narrowed his eyes, and a force of his soul plus the power of the gods emanated. The Dugu brothers, who were originally planning to use the fusion of domains to stabilize the sea of blood and pull out the Red Ghost King, came to a standstill.
Not only the two of them, but also the restless sea of blood, the exploding demonic energy, and the several powerful auras within Shushan, including Qin Fan's team of powerful warriors that were already capable of dominating the myriad realms, were all shocked and stunned on the spot.
The Fifteenth Style of Forgetfulness: King!
boom--!
The four corners of the entire Dongxuanzhou Prefecture's borders cracked directly, and the originally beautiful and peaceful scene seemed to be crushed abruptly, and then the sudden increase in demonic energy dissipated for the most part!
Completely hidden in the void, four powerful monsters with eighth-level combat power all spat out blood, and the barrier they had set up in secret was about to collapse completely.
"Kai Ming Beast, Li Zhu, Lu Wu, Ying Zhao."
After seeing the appearance of the four monsters and the chain of fate entangled on their bodies, Qin Fan immediately recognized their identities.
"Ying Zhao?!" Everyone was shocked at Qin Fan's unparalleled powerful strength, and even more surprised at how weak Ying Zhao, a great sage of the demon clan, seemed to be so weak that any attack from the Tianyan realm masters present could kill him.
"They are the destined bodies of the fourth generation of immortal swords. When Qionghua was frozen, they were summoned through the Illusionary Realm to fight against the four ordinary monsters of Qionghua Sect. They should have joined Fuxi Heavenly Palace and have the tendency to transform into immortal monsters. That is why they have mastered a barrier method to completely block this state.
Kill their four nodes and you can break the boundary.
Who will take action? One person can choose to defeat the Tianyan realm one by one. In a one-on-one situation, the second-level Faxiang realm has a high probability of winning. They are now in a state of injury and cannot move, so they are easy to deal with. "
“Leave it to me.” Wang Xianzhi took a step forward, and after seeing Qin Fan nod slightly, he stirred up a gust of wind and waves, and the momentum condensed around his body became more and more powerful. Facing Li Zhu, who was closest to him and had suffered the most serious damage from Qin Fan's kingly power, he destroyed half of his demon body with just one palm.
