dream bubble

Chapter 818 Seven Years Later 2
In the next moment, he had already entered the illusion.

But what he entered was not the illusion of the new Linhai City, but the illusion of the human fleet.

In the illusion, there were crowds of people and flags fluttering. Hundreds of millions of believers in Taiping Dao were all gathered together at this moment.Above their heads is a projection of the Karma Sea.

"I need your help. These ghosts must be refined. Otherwise, the sea of ​​karma will collapse. When the karma overflows, no one can escape." Xie Xiaoyu's voice echoed in the illusion.

The sound of prayers immediately resounded through this illusion. They had the experience of catastrophe coming, and the scene in front of them was nothing to the members of Taipingdao.

A huge amount of wish power gradually rose up and poured into the sea of ​​karma, turning into endless karma and burning those ghosts.

Those ghosts were also unwilling to be refined, especially the ghost kings, they were struggling desperately, one of the ghost kings was the most cunning, he actually grabbed other ghosts and used them as stepping stones, a small half of its body had already broken free from the sea of ​​karma come out.

"Destroy it for me." Xie Xiaoyu pointed at the ghost king.

A flame was ignited in the ghost king's body. This is karmic fire. All the ghosts have karma attached to their bodies. Xie Xiaoyu's move is aimed at them.

"Ow-"

The shrill screams echoed in the sea of ​​karma. The ghost king struggled harder. It had completely detached from the waist up, and it became weaker and weaker. It was obviously planning to tear its body apart and escape by abandoning the rest of it. .

"Jealousy, hatred, anger." Xie Xiaoyu pointed out again, but this time he was not attacking the ghost king, but the ghosts around the ghost king.

Hearing a series of hoarse howls, the ghosts all jumped on the ghost king like crazy, and dragged the ghost king into the sea desperately.

This is the power of jealousy. If I can't live, I don't want to see others escape. Xie Xiaoyu's pointing just now just made this emotion stronger.

The burning karmic fire became more violent and violent, and the tumbling flames engulfed all these ghosts. The ghost king struggled desperately, but it was useless at all. It became more and more powerless, and finally disappeared into the karmic fire.

More and more ghosts were engulfed by karmic fire, those ghost masters and ghost kings were specially taken care of by Xie Xiaoyu, and they were killed one by one.

The sea of ​​karma gradually calmed down.

There are karmic fires everywhere, and there are red lotuses transformed by karmic fires everywhere, and the face of the lotus pond suddenly doubles in size.

On the other side, the other Xie Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's almost finished, it's better not to use this thing." He muttered to himself.

These words are for the unheard.

"Stop complaining, killing so many ghost kings at once, this magic weapon is very powerful." Jue was full of envy.

"Would you like me to build one for you? As long as you have enough will power to support you, as long as you are not afraid of backlash, you can kill so many ghost kings at once." Xie Xiaoyu took advance as retreat.

Jue was really moved, but he still shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have that many followers, and I don't have your messy skills."

"I'll talk about these words later, there are still a lot of chasing soldiers behind." Xie Xiaoyu put away the sea of ​​karma.

There is no longer a tunnel dug by the buck teeth in front, and the endless void is pierced with a single knife.

After the two came out, Xie Xiaoyu activated his Transformation Zizai invisible sword energy, which turned into a faint icy light, and the two fled south desperately.

"There they are." A piercing scream came from behind.

Another ghost came chasing after him, this time it was either the ghost master or the ghost king.

Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, Jue knew that he had dragged Xie Xiaoyu down: "It's really not possible, you run away by yourself."

"Don't talk nonsense, we'll be safe another fifty thousand miles." Xie Xiaoyu couldn't possibly abandon his companions.

"It's really only [-] miles?" Jue cheered up.

"There's no need to lie to you, I asked Shu to set up a trap there." Xie Xiaoyu said.

"You kid didn't tell me." Jue complained loudly.

"I want to give you a surprise." Xie Xiaoyu laughed.

"Surprise!" Jue glared at Xie Xiaoyu angrily. He really wanted to beat this guy up, but knowing that there was a safe place ahead, he was finally relieved: "If this is the case, I will fight."

"I can swear, I never lied to you." Xie Xiaoyu pointed at the sky.

Jue squinted at this guy, then roared, his body became brighter, and his speed increased a lot.

Daojun can travel thousands of miles in an instant, and big monsters are more powerful than Daojun, because they can burst out continuously.

A dazzling icy light pierced the sky and flew towards the south.

Xie Xiaoyu also let go of his speed. At this moment, he could no longer maintain a shadowless and invisible state, and turned into a clear wave of light, like traces across the water.

This is not an explosion, but the ability he copied from Qingyu.

When it comes to flying, the Sky Demon is the fastest, followed by the Bird Demon.And the dragon sparrow clan is the king of speed among the bird monsters, only the golden-winged roc can compare with them.

The copied ability cannot be compared with the genuine one, but his Heavenly Demon Body has taken advantage of it. It was originally between the virtual and the real, with no weight and no resistance.Therefore, his speed at this moment is definitely not much worse than that of a real dragon bird.

The ghost kings and ghost masters were furious, but they had nothing to do, if they couldn't catch up, they couldn't catch up.

Some of them are already planning to give up.

Suddenly there was a strange laugh, and a ghost king said disapprovingly: "They can't last long at this speed. When we catch up with them, these two guys may not even have the strength to resist."

When the ghosts heard this, it was indeed the truth, they became excited again, and chased after Xie Xiaoyu in the direction where Xie Xiaoyu was escaping.

The sky in the distance is extremely gloomy, as if a storm is coming.

Xie Xiaoyu and Jue had fled in just now, but there was still a faint icy light in the air.

Here is the sea, and it is very normal for a sudden storm to come, so the ghosts didn't care, and they slammed into it.

Suddenly everything changed.There are no dark clouds at all, this is a world of fire, pillars of fire erupt from the ground, the sky is full of rolling fire clouds, fire is everywhere, and it is not ordinary fire, Bingling fire, Samadhi real fire, The world-exterminating and pure fire, the demon fire of the heavens, the fire of hundreds of millions of Buddhas... all kinds of fire gather in it.

"No, we were fooled. This is a trap." The ghost king who was laughing strangely just now exclaimed.

All the ghosts took the road and fled.

These ghost kings and ghost clans were all insidious and cunning. In order to increase the chance of escaping, they released all the little ghosts they had with them.

In an instant, the originally empty space suddenly became full of ghosts.

Those little ghosts who were released were fierce at first, wanting to choose and devour people, but they soon discovered that there was no sign of prey around them, only fire, endless fire, deadly fire.

Fire is the nemesis of ghosts, and ghosts with slightly weaker strength will turn into green smoke in a blink of an eye.

The purpose of releasing these ghosts was to confuse the public. The ghost kings and ghost masters didn't expect the little ghosts to play any role. They took advantage of the chaos and looked for a chance to escape.

One of the ghost kings turned into a blue fire and plunged towards the sea.

Don't look at this green fire, which is only the size of a fist, but it is extremely dense.Ever since the Taihao battleship broke through the formation, everyone has understood one thing, that is to condense powerful forces at one point, which is the nemesis of the formation.

This group of jade fire is deadly and powerful.The Buddha Fire, Demon Fire, Mieshijing Fire, and all other fires were all driven away by it.

Only the last barrier remains.

It saw sparkling waves.

The ghost king accelerated his speed even more. He thought it was the surface of the sea, but he didn't notice the bottomless darkness under the waves.

It plunged in and was instantly swallowed by karma.

The other ghost kings and ghost masters also showed their magical powers, some went up, some fled in the same direction, and some also plunged into the sea. They didn't realize that the sea of ​​fire that trapped them was shrinking rapidly.

Outside, more than a dozen monsters occupy a corner, and in the center is a sphere with a diameter of [-] feet. The space has been compressed to the extreme. Around the sphere, a wave of light is aroused from time to time. No one knows what kind of spell it is. I just thought it was a new supernatural power that Xie Xiaoyu had just cultivated.

Suddenly, Xie Xiaoyu grabbed it casually, and when he withdrew his hand, there was a transparent ball in his hand, with a cloud of human-shaped smoke rolling around inside.

This is a Ghost Venerable, but he was hit by the Buddha's fire and then scorched by the devil's fire, and his vitality was already damaged. Even if he was put into the sea of ​​karma, it would not be very useful, so he was simply caught as a prisoner.

There are two ways to obtain information, one is to see and hear with one's own eyes, and the other is to capture prisoners for interrogation.

"Leave this guy to you, dig out everything he knows." Xie Xiaoyu casually threw the transparent ball to the beautiful snake Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao licked her tongue, said with a smile all over her face: "Master, just watch."

While speaking, she held the ball in her hand and flew towards the distance.

"This woman was ruined by you." Shu shook his head.

Jiaojiao has turned into a complete sadist, hiding in the pain all day long, enjoying the fun of torturing prisoners.

"It's a war now, don't be kidding." Xie Xiaoyu said solemnly.

"These guys can't escape." Shu grinned.

Just after he finished speaking, there was a bang in the fire cloud, and then a ball of blue flame broke through the fire cloud, and a dozen ghosts escaped.

"Go to hell--" Shu was ashamed, it was a slap in the face.

Furious, he drew a long knife from behind and swung it violently.

There is no astonishing power, and even a slash does not stir up a little wind, only scorching heat, which is more terrifying than magma.

The two ghosts didn't have time to dodge, and they were cut straight. They didn't even make a sound, and instantly turned into green smoke.

"Snapped"

The long knife in Shu's hand disintegrated.

"You used too much force. This knife could have been used five times." Xie Xiaoyu couldn't help shaking her head.

Shu took out another long knife without paying attention and said, "Anyway, these things are consumables, and I have plenty."

"You kid is shaking now, so you dare to spend like this." Xie Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed.

Jue nodded aside, saying that he was not jealous, that was a lie.

Zhu Luan, like Longque, belonged to the top clan, and as the heir to the crown prince, Shu's status was even higher than that of Lan.This guy now wants money and money, and people.

Just kidding, but Jue didn't stay idle, he split his hands, and two long knives struck out with lightning, one left and one right, and also intercepted the two ghosts.

His knife was extremely fast, let alone dodging, the two ghosts were cut into two before they had time to react.

However, Jue's knife is obviously not very effective against ghosts.

The two ghosts merged into one in an instant, and fled in two directions as if flying.

It wasn't just them, there were more than a dozen ghosts who escaped at once, only two were very unlucky and were beheaded by Shu Yidao, and all the other ghosts escaped.

Suddenly, there was a thunder, and a flash of lightning pierced the sky, twisting and rolling like an earthworm, and splitting into countless branches like a tree root.

Those ghosts didn't run away at all, they were struck by lightning and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"His Royal Highness, are you here too?" Shu greeted, although his status was not worse than Lan, but he was still the same as before.

No one said anything about him, after all, no one knew whether this guy came here to be a guest because he loved the Princess.

"I seem to have arrived just in time." Lan flew down from above the clouds.

"Thanks to you for stopping those guys." Xie Xiaoyu replied while making a seal.

Every time a Dharma seal is applied, the huge fire cloud will shrink a little. The temperature inside has been dozens of times hotter than before, and the pressure has become higher and higher. Moreover, various flames collide with each other, and unexpected events gradually occur. The change.

Ordinary ghosts have already been refined, and the only ones who can sustain until now are the Ghost King and Ghost Venerable.

"Aren't you going to spy? How did you kill them?" The princess was a little curious.

"I'll keep a few prisoners here." Xie Xiaoyu caught another Ghost Venerable while speaking, and sealed it inside the ball.

"There is already a prisoner, Jiaojiao is torturing." Shu interjected.

Hearing this, the princess blushed for a while, she knew better than Shu and Jue what happened to Jiaojiao.

"How's the situation over there?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.

This sentence was so random that Shu and Jue didn't understand it.

"It's not a small gain." The princess answered, but her face didn't look like she had gained something, she was indescribably disappointed and sad.

"If my guess is correct, guys like Ma Jin, Housheng, and Yangwen must be in there." Xie Xiaoyu chuckled lightly.

The princess's expression became more and more bitter.

Absolutely understood.

"Are they all spies from another family?" It's unbelievable. Ma Jin and Yangwen are okay, one is too diligent, and the other is gloomy, but Hou Sheng is also a spy, so he can't figure it out. That guy looks very loyal , very honest.

"I really didn't expect that Housheng secretly worked for five or six forces at the same time." The princess also couldn't figure it out.

"How did you guess that?" Xie Xiaoyu declined.

"Isn't this obvious?" Xie Xiaoyu looked at Jue with the eyes of a fool: "This guy and his clan are hard-working and diligent, who is willing to give up such a vassal?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Maybe his original master was mean and ungrateful." Shu argued from the side.

"Is there anyone more mean and ungrateful than Huo Xiao? Even that guy knows how to ask the vassal to stay." Xie Xiaoyu laughed.

"That makes sense." Shu nodded.

"Do you know which party leaked the news to the ghost clan?" Xie Xiaoyu was more concerned about this, he was not interested in the three small characters.

"I don't know, New Linhai City is completely under our control, but other places are not." The princess was helpless.

"Other than those two families, who else?" Shu said disapprovingly.

As soon as he returned to New Linhai City, the princess immediately called a group of ministers for a meeting.

The courtiers arrived one after another, and many of them seemed panicked. When they took their positions, it was immediately obvious that many seats were vacant.

At least one-fifth of the vacated positions were occupied, and their original owners were all in the cell at the moment.

Xie Xiaoyu also noticed this, and he chuckled softly and said: "Actually, it's not bad, these guys work very hard. Without them, New Linhai City might not be able to develop so well. I was still worried , How to pay them, since they are spies, then the credit will be written off."

As he spoke, he laughed out loud.

The princess was a little bored at first, but after hearing what he said, she immediately felt much more comfortable.

All the ministers also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know why their colleagues were arrested?Now I finally know why.

In order to express their loyalty, these courtiers began to curse one after another, some scolded for ulterior motives, some scolded for being ungrateful, and the hall became noisy.

Xie Xiaoyu coughed and said:
"Thanks to them passing the news to the ghost clan, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to kill nineteen ghost kings and 370 five ghost venerables so smoothly." He said what he had gained this time.

"It's indeed a bumper harvest, but unfortunately, I can't be happy." Shu also attended the meeting as a distinguished guest, and his seat was next to the princess.

"Nineteen ghost kings, nearly four hundred ghost venerables." Jue muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he felt.

"I know you're scared, but don't you think those Ghost Kings and Ghost Venerables are too watery?" Xie Xiaoyu reminded.

Lan, Jue, and Shu opened their eyes wide at the same time, and they suddenly came to their senses.

"Did Jiaojiao pry out anything of value?" Shu Dun became interested.

"Yes." Xie Xiaoyu nodded: "It's like we created a magic circle to open up wisdom, and the ghosts are not idle. They have created a set of devouring methods, just like refining Gu, so that the group of ghosts can devour each other. Ordinary ghosts become fierce ghosts, fierce ghosts become evil ghosts, evil ghosts become ghost kings, ghost kings become ghost venerables, ghost venerables become ghost kings, and if they continue to devour them like this, they can even create ghosts and gods."

Everyone's faces were ashen, even if those ghost kings and ghost masters were very watery and there were a lot of them, they were still scary, let alone ghosts and gods.

Ghosts and gods are equivalent to Dao powers, no matter how watery they are, they are not something they can deal with.

"What confession did Jiaojiao get?" The princess also began to urge her.

"There is another piece of bad news... The ghost race has long recognized the role of humans. For tens of thousands of years, they have been secretly capturing monks. The method of swallowing came from the hands of captured monks." Thank you Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh.

Then he said: "What's worse, after the catastrophe came, they captured a large number of monks. With the help of these monks, they controlled the reincarnation faster than expected."

"What should I do?" The princess changed color in horror.

Shu is not as relaxed as before, and he will definitely not be able to maintain his previous indifference.

"Report, this is not something we can solve." Xie Xiaoyu didn't want to get involved in this trouble.

The princess and Shu looked at each other.

"You and I are in contact with each other's clan." The Princess said.

"I have no objection." Shu nodded in agreement.

"You'd better go back to the demon world and tell your ancestors in person, don't let others relay it." Xie Xiaoyu suggested, this is a great credit, if it is reported at the level, it is easy to be shared by others.

"What about you? Do nothing?" The princess was a little unwilling.

"I just went through life and death, isn't that enough?" Xie Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

"Not enough." The princess also smiled.

"Okay." Xie Xiaoyu shrugged: "I, Jue, and Mr. Yan will visit our neighbors, and they must have been notified."

"Are you going to join forces with them?" the princess asked.

The demon clan near Tianbao Prefecture is divided into four camps.

Led by Lan, supplemented by Shu, Jue, and Lei, this is a large faction with a total of sixteen cities. Among the four factions, they have the most potential and are the most prosperous, but their overall strength is the weakest.

Qinglong Prince You formed a camp, which was the strongest. In fact, the entire Tianbao Prefecture was considered to be his sphere of influence at the beginning, but a series of failures seven years ago caused them heavy losses, and now they barely maintain the number one ranking.

Jinlong Prince Ming also has his own faction. This faction was established the latest, but its momentum is strong and its strength should not be underestimated. However, they came late after all, and the good sites and resources have already been occupied by other families, so the development of the territory is not very good. ideal.

The last camp has the largest scale. It is a loose alliance formed by lords who are unwilling to join any party. Because of the large number of people, this camp is very strong in terms of strength and territorial development.

"Since you have such a plan, you should have done it long ago." The princess was very puzzled.

"That's not acceptable." Xie Xiaoyu shook her head: "If I contact each faction as soon as I come up, I will definitely quarrel over the position of the leader. Then I can't do anything. If I take the risk of inquiring about information, it will be a white job. , There will definitely be a lot of people asking for information, but they will definitely not pay anything. If we are not willing to show it, we will definitely become the target of public criticism."

"Now? What's the difference?" the princess asked curiously.

"The information in our hands is the best bargaining chip. Whoever elects you as the leader can get the information." Xie Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Aren't we still going to be the target of public criticism?" The princess felt strange.

"What are you afraid of if you don't form an alliance? If you want information, you can inquire on your own. Even if you report to the higher authorities, we have something to say. After forming an alliance, it will be different, and they will have a righteous name." Xie Xiaoyu explained the difference.

"Just do as you say." The princess finally spoke, and suddenly she stopped because she saw the female guard who was in charge of ordering hurried in.

"What happened?" she whispered.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Yu and Prince Ming sent people over at the same time, and the envoys of both families are eager to see you." The female guard immediately reported.

"What a coincidence." Xie Xiaoyu muttered.

"You mean they know that we have gained something." The princess immediately thought of this possibility.

"It's likely to be like this." Xie Xiaoyu had a headache. The two highnesses also had brains beside them. The other party must have guessed his thoughts, so they threw out the alliance proposal before His Highness the princess.

"Why did the two envoys come together?" Shu didn't quite understand, he didn't think it was a coincidence.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu suddenly felt that someone had sent him a message.

"Two envoys also came to my territory." He said in surprise.

This is even less likely to be a coincidence.

"This is forcing everyone to stand in line." Xie Xiaoyu saw through the meaning of the two princes at a glance.

"Could it be that the two of them want to split and form two alliances?" Shu muttered to himself.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't answer, he thought of several possibilities, one of which was that the two parties were competing for the position of leader, which is fine, everyone depends on their own abilities.What he was afraid of was that, as Shu said, the two princes planned to go their own way.

Seeing that Xie Xiaoyu was having trouble answering, Shu had no choice but to change the subject: "What should we do now?"

"Just leave it alone." Jue looked indifferent.

The others didn't speak. A few courtiers with relatively low status felt that this was not good, and the rest of them also had their own thoughts.

"It's not good." Xie Xiaoyu shook his head, he turned around and asked the female guard, "What did the two envoys say?"

The female guard hurriedly replied: "Prince Yu's envoy hopes that His Royal Highness can go to his city. If His Highness does not go, Mo Xiang can go, and discuss how to deal with ghosts by the way. The envoy of Prince Ming said that three days later, he His Highness Jia invited all the lords on Zhihuang Island to discuss the important matter of crusade against the ghost clan."

"One has a deadline, one has no deadline, one is on a deserted island, and the other is going to the territory." Shu laughed: "Prince Yu is really not good, he has a poor brain and a small capacity."

"What does Prince Yu want to do? Are you planning to plot something wrong?" The old tortoise also became angry.

Mentaiko chose a deserted island to meet, which is reasonable, at least with some sincerity, but it is different to go to the other party's territory, it would be risky.

"Leave them alone, Your Highness and Shu are still going back to the Demon Realm, and now the initiative is in our hands." Xie Xiaoyu didn't want to change the plan casually: "At the same time, we let the wind out that we have obtained important information. In order to keep it secret, His Royal Highness and Shu each Go to the demon world and report directly to the two ancestors."

"Gao Ming, it's really too clever." The old tortoise called out immediately. Despite his age, he was not slow-witted, and with his rich experience, he was the first to understand what Xie Xiaoyu meant: "Since it's important information, You can’t talk nonsense, so that you can block the other party’s mouth, so that cats and dogs don’t ask for it. However, it doesn’t matter if you become one of your own.”

"We can still use this excuse to delay the time. Didn't the two princes send envoys in a hurry to form an alliance? Let's ignore them and leave them aside. When the princess comes back, we will take a chicken feather At the right time, call everyone for a meeting in the name of the above, and at the same time throw out the proposal of the alliance." Xie Xiaoyu thought more deeply.
