Lord of the Earth

First things first.

Even though the creatures of catastrophe had been defeated on the battlefield, there were still some special beings that had not been wiped out.

For example, the two Xianbei people who were brought to Xia Tian at this time!
"Great Khan, what are you doing? We have always been loyal to you, Great Khan..."

Wu Song, still dressed as a Xianbei leader, rode on the black tiger and walked side by side with Shen Lian, who was wearing a Feiyu costume and holding an embroidered spring sword.

In Wu Song's palms were two black "soul chains", with two figures tied to the front end of the chains. They were wrapped in black robes, and their faces were about forty or fifty years old, a little old, with a sinister look in their eyes. It was Murong Bo.

The other one was tall and burly, wearing Xianbei armor. He looked heroic, but his tone concealed a hint of panic. He was the Xianbei general leading the troops!
After Xia Tian destroyed the Gate of Catastrophe, the Xianbei people, who were the creatures of the catastrophe, were either turned into ashes on the spot, or killed by the eternal creatures while seriously injured. The luck that was originally plundered also became the spoils of others...

Only Murong Bo and the Xianbei general, both of whom possessed the fourth level of extraordinary cultivation, still had enough power to protect themselves even when injured.

Originally, after seeing that something was not right, the two wanted to escape, but the chains of burning hellfire that burst out from the "Xianbei Chief" had already penetrated into the scapula of the two men, and transformed into the form of a bull demon that suppressed the two men, making them unable to move.

Now, they were brought by Shuangshuang to kneel in front of Xia Tian, ​​who was floating in the air with "sword, armor and wings".

"Khan! Did I do something wrong? Why are you doing this?"

Murong Bo was weakened by his injuries and was forced to kneel on the ground, but his expression was "confused", as if he was somewhat puzzled by the "leader's" behavior!

"City Lord...how should we deal with these two human traitors?"

Until Wu Song's disguise as the Xianbei Khan disappeared, he transformed into his original appearance and spoke respectfully to the summer in the sky.

"What! City Lord? Khan, you..."

"Huh... I see, my feeling was right, Khan, you had planned to surrender to Baiyujing and even changed your body for this purpose. I said it, we and the Chinese are of the same human race and we must unite to fight against those alien creatures who look down on and insult us. No wonder you told us not to kill those humans after you captured them, but to treat them well and even asked me to pass on the situation of this 'human cage' to Baiyujing..."

Murong Bo first had an expression of shock and anger, then he seemed to suddenly realize something, and his eyes showed a bit of joy.

"Well, this guy seems a little stupid. From what he said, it seems like he has some merits... How about we give him a quick death?"

Looking at Murong Bo, who looked extremely miserable due to various reasons such as his collarbone was pierced, his body was burned by the karma fire, his clothes were tattered, and he was seriously injured.

There were people from Baiyujing watching around, and some of them looked reluctant.

"Father... damn it!"

And Murong Fu, who was holding a long sword in the crowd, was shaking all over, his fingernails clenched so tightly that he almost bled!

As a martial arts master of the Tianlong world, the father of the head of the Murong family has always been high and mighty.

Now, he is forced to "act crazy and stupid" here and be insulted by these Han people. It is obvious that he wants to cover up for himself and avoid being completely exposed!
It's hateful. I clearly passed the message back, but why didn't the catastrophe creatures prepare, and now they are defeated...

His original ambition of becoming the "city lord" also vanished in an instant, becoming a pipe dream.

"Hey, do you feel that this person looks familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere."

However, his "anger and grief" did not have time to brew.

A sudden remark from the Han people around him made Murong Fu's face change color!
He hurriedly tried to cover his face with his hands and tried to retreat.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Master Murong? Do you know these two calamity creatures?"

However, there was already someone standing next to him, blocking his way of retreat.

Along with a calm voice, a middle-aged man covered in a black robe appeared, and the expression on his face was even more gloomy than Murong Bo's.

It was Bai Yujing’s intelligence chief, Li Ru!
"No, I don't know him."

Murong Fu's eyes flashed and he immediately shook his head.

"As long as there is green, there is no need to worry about firewood... Now I need to get out of this situation first, so I can only 'sever' this 'father-son relationship'... I will wait until the future, when I have the strength, to destroy Baiyujing and avenge my father."

"Oh, I saw that your faces are so similar, I thought there was some connection... So, Master Murong, you don't know this person..."

Li Ru's voice was still sinister. The black robe only revealed a little bit of his face. The blood vessels were faintly visible like a spider web, and even kept wriggling, which was a bit creepy!
"But, this person said before that he had someone pass the information about the 'human cage' to me, Bai Yujing. And if I remember correctly, it was you and your personal soldiers who told me about this information..."

The next sentence was like a thunderclap, which made Murong Fu's heart sink to the bottom of the valley, and he couldn't help but clench the green spiritual sword in his hand.

"By the way, you don't know him either?"

But Li Ru did not continue to question him. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Murong Bo, the prisoner, with a playful look, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"I know him. The person I sent to deliver the message was killed, and the letter he had was also taken away...

Murong Fu breathed a sigh of relief when Murong Bo, whose face was pale, suddenly spoke.

After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

Murong Bo is now a prisoner, so naturally he doesn't want to involve his son.

What's more, from the surface, it seems that "Murong Fu" reported the situation here, allowing Baiyujing to obtain millions of human troops. This is a true "merit", and he himself is a creature of the Eternal Camp.

Now that Baiyujing has achieved the final victory, when it comes to rewarding merits, it should be no problem for Murong Fu to get an official position in Baiyujing.

At that time, maybe I can have a chance of survival!
"Okay, maybe I'm wrong? Oh, right... what happened to your personal soldiers? Why are they so stiff as if they suddenly lost their souls? Could it be that because they were unwilling to stand by you and did something against their conscience, you killed them and refined them into 'puppets'?"

Every word Li Ru said was like the fire of hell, making Murong Fu's heart beat wildly. The sweat on his forehead was no different from that of Murong Bo who was tied up by the Nine Nether Chains.

"Fu'er! Forget it, I can't hide it..."

Suddenly, the original "loyalty and fear" expression on Murong Bo's face turned into calmness, and he said in a cold voice.

Just because even the Xianbei leader is already the other side's man, how can he really hide the things he has done!

"It's him! It's all Murong Bo's fault. He instigated the Khan to let us use the identities of the human race to approach those territories and capture humans to sacrifice to Haojie Gate to gain merit... All the bad things were done by this father and son..."

Suddenly a loud voice was heard, and the speaker was the bearded Xianbei general.

"My goodness, this guy has thick eyebrows and big eyes, how can he be so afraid of death..."

Daniu patted his head with a look of disdain.

In fact, it is not surprising that the creatures of catastrophe are afraid of death.

After all, I have already died once, so I cherish this resurrection even more.

Previously, when the Xianbei general was attacking the cave defended by Li Ling and others, he was so "deeply afraid of death" that his 80,000-man army was intercepted by only 5,000 people, and he retreated immediately at the slightest sign of trouble! Now that he can no longer deceive others, he naturally betrays his "teammates" and tries to pass the buck to fight for a chance of survival!
"Tuoba Xiong, you bastard..."

Murong Bo had never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by his own "fellow tribesman". He looked at the Xianbei general with such a look that he wished he could kill him and eat his flesh.

"The Han city lords are these two. This father and son are so evil that they even captured and killed the family generals who had followed them for many years..."

The Xianbei general looked at Xia Tian with an eager look on his face as if he wanted to "accomplish merit", which made Murong and his son's faces change color completely.

"What's going on... Why do my eyes feel so sore..."

"Oh! Why, I can't help crying... There is an inexplicable sadness in my heart..."

"No, are we poisoned?"

At this time, the Jinyiwei around Murong Fu suddenly became agitated, with their eyes closed, as if they were extremely sad and tears were streaming down their faces.

"Humph, do you really think that I am a persimmon on the chopping board, waiting for you to slaughter me... You think you can kill me..."

Murong Fu's originally handsome face suddenly became somewhat ferocious.

A green bottle suddenly appeared in the loosened palm, and there was a faint wave in it, which enveloped the people around through the air.

【Sad and Soft Breeze (Silver)】

[Type] Strange object

[Features] Sadness (Once poisoned, one will feel extremely sad, the whole body will become soft and unable to use strength, all the spiritual energy in the body will turn into tears and flow out), Breeze (colorless and odorless, can be transmitted by the wind and cover hundreds of miles away)

[Explanation] Beisu Qingfeng was originally the ultimate poison of Yipintang in Xixia. After entering the Land of Eternity, it became a rare item.

This "Sad and Soft Breeze" that has turned into a magical object is also Murong's trump card that he relies on to find the human race in the land of disaster.

Now I have no choice but to expose myself, also for the sake of survival.

Although it is only of silver quality, in theory it is effective enough to deal with ordinary extraordinary-level strong men.

A large number of the Jinyiwei who had originally surrounded the area fell to the ground, crying like rain. Only Wu Song, Shen Lian and other strong men above the fourth level of extraordinary realm with high enough cultivation were able to resist, but in theory their strength should have decreased a lot!

"Put down your weapons and send my father out... Otherwise, I will kill him immediately..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Murong Fu quickly flashed behind Li Ru, grabbed his black clothes, and pressed a long sword that was emitting cold light and looked like jade across Li Ru's throat!
"..."

However, he was greeted by silence.

The top brass at Baiyujing didn't seem to be too worried about the kidnapping of Li Ru, the head of the intelligence agency, and their attempt to use the hostage as a threat in exchange for their own and Murong Bo's lives.

"You think I won't kill him..."

The other party did not show any panic expression, which made Murong Fu have a bad feeling, but the situation was urgent and there was no time for thinking, so he got ruthless.

The sharp sword in his hand was slashed fiercely towards Li Ru's neck. The extraordinary strong man has a strong vitality. As long as his head is not cut off, it will not be so easy to die!

And they must let these people from Baiyujing actually "see blood" before they will agree to their request.

puff!
The spiritual sword of excellent quality tore apart the black robe covering Li Ru's body and most of his neck in one swoop.

However, what Murong Fu was greeted with was not the cautious looks of the people around Baiyujing, but rather wide-eyed expressions of surprise as if they had seen something.

Because no blood flowed out from Li Ru's cut neck, but instead a large number of densely packed, colorful insects emitting spiritual fluctuations suddenly emerged!
"What is this……"

Looking at the bugs crawling from the spirit sword towards his arms and even his head.

Murong Bo's face was filled with horror, but he found that his body was suddenly unable to move!
Because without his noticing, a five-colored spider appeared on his head. Strands of spider silk penetrated into his brain from the roots of his hair, densely entangled his entire body, like a spider web that trapped his "soul".

"This is the Thousand Machine Heart-stealing Gu. Once bitten by a spider, its silk can connect to a person's brain, making it difficult to control oneself..."

"This is the bone poison... It is cultivated in the bone marrow of bones that have been dead for thousands of years but have not decayed. It absorbs endless death energy. One bite can kill a large area of ​​a person's flesh and blood, and turn a beautiful face into a skeleton in the blink of an eye."

Li Ru, whose neck was broken, spoke calmly. He used the vibration of the poisonous insect to produce the "sad and soft breeze" that could make people lose their fighting power. However, it did not seem to have much effect on him as a "poison scholar". He even released the poisonous insect from his body while giving a considerate "introduction".

"Asshole...ah...you..."

Murong Fu's face was filled with panic and pain. His body, bitten by the spider, had become paralyzed and he could hardly move.

They could only allow a large number of strange-looking poisonous insects to crawl on their bodies, bite the surface of their skin, revealing colorful strips of their skin, and even drill into their bodies through their eyes, mouths, and ears.

If it weren't for the extraordinary creature's strong vitality, this injury would be enough to cause death on the spot!

"Hiss, Palace Master Li, you have actually mastered the art of the 'insect poison'..."

"I heard that the way of Gu worms was originally inherited from a calamity creature. Later, Palace Master Li entered the 'Grand Illusionary Realm' and obtained the inheritance from a powerful person who called himself 'Master Gu'..."

"Why do I feel that this inheritance is somewhat demonic?"

Li Ru is a man of letters.

Most people seldom take part in battles. This is the first time that he fights with a powerful person of extraordinary level in public.

Looking at the black robe that covered his entire body, there kept crawling out two-legged centipedes, twelve-eyed jade spiders, black and white cicadas and other "poisonous insects" of different shapes and sizes!
"This……"

Even some of Bai Yujing's own people had cold sweat on their foreheads.

Not to mention Murong Fu who was already extremely nervous, even he himself would never notice the key point on normal days: a random insect on the roadside could be the spy of this "Intelligence Palace Master"!

"No wonder some people from later generations called the Jinyiwei eagle dogs. The eagle and the dog have sharp eyes, and the other has a sharp nose..."

"Speak softly, don't let Palace Master Li and Camp Master Shen hear you... Besides, as long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about bugs coming to your door..."

The positioning of an intelligence agency like Jinyiwei is different from that of the army and patrol forces, so there is no need to create an image of "relatives".

"General Wu, detain them first and hold a public trial when the country is established..."

Xia Tian said that he did not kill the three men directly, but planned to keep their heads on his body temporarily.

At that time, a public trial will be held in front of the entire Baiyujing "Dynasty", which will have the effect of "killing one to warn the rest"! (End of this chapter)
