Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"go with!"

Hair transformed into soldiers, and countless clones emerged to rescue the monsters and residents in need of help.

At the same time, killing the controlled monsters was forbidden; they were simply knocked unconscious with sticks.

With each fall, evil energy surges outwards, its destination unknown.

When the chieftains of several races saw Wuqing's clone helping them, they couldn't help but wonder about his true identity again.

However, this time Wu Qing and his clone were powerful enough, at least stronger than them, so they began to have doubts.

"master……"

Chi Mei felt gratified when she saw the figure in the sky. She knew that it was not the real Wu Qing, but she treated it as such because what he was doing was something that Wu Qing would definitely do again.

"This skill is really amazing..."

The ability to turn hair into soldiers is far more powerful than the afterimage clones of the Sky-Treading Sword Dance. Each of his hairs is a corpse, and the clones inherit 80% of the original's strength and can fight independently.

Evil energy surged into the sky, and Qin Yu sensed that something bad was about to happen. He had changed the original plot development, and now the story was speeding in a direction he didn't know. He had no idea what would happen next.

The patriarch of the Si Snake clan continuously absorbed this evil energy, and in a short time, the evil energy accumulated a large amount of power, finally allowing him to break free from the constraints of his host body and take human form.

The evil energy within the patriarch of the Si Snake clan began to condense and surge outwards in large quantities, abandoning his host body. The evil energy took shape on its own in the air, and the form he wanted to transform into was naturally derived from the appearance of the strongest beast in the Demon Beast Capital, which he had absorbed from the beasts in the Demon Beast Capital.

In the sky, another Wuqing appeared in everyone's sight. This Wuqing was completely exuding an evil aura, forming a stark contrast with the other Wuqing.

With a wave of his hand, a battle staff appeared in his hand, which he raised and pointed at Wu Qing, who had transformed from Qin Yu.

"Interesting, are you trying to play the real and fake Monkey King?"

Qin Yu also cooperated by raising his battle staff and pointing it at him. Both of them were Wu Qing, yet neither of them were Wu Qing. This situation was undeniably quite interesting...

Chapter 287 The True and False Wuqing

The character designs for the main character in the next book are almost finished, but there's still no news about Xiaoxue's illustrations. The artist clearly understands this.

-

Two Wu Qing suddenly appeared in the sky above the Demon Beast Capital, attracting the attention of most of the demon beasts in the capital.

"Of the two kings, the one emanating an ominous aura is definitely the wicked one..."

It's quite easy to distinguish between the two who have attained enlightenment, but the difficulty lies in figuring out who is the true enlightened one.

Strictly speaking, these two Wuqings are not the real Wuqings at all, but the residents of the Demon Beast Capital all regard the Wuqing that Qin Yu transformed into as the real Wuqing.

Within the territory of the fox spirit clan

Chi Mei had returned. Upon seeing the clan leader again, she felt overwhelmed with guilt. Mei Xiao was still unconscious in the distance, and all of this was caused by her.

"Chi Mei, it's so good to see you back..."

The clan leader seemed to realize that the current Chi Mei was the original Chi Mei, and it appeared that the Night Sword Saint had helped Chi Mei break free from control.

Chi Mei walked up to the clan leader, bowed her head, and apologized, "I'm sorry, clan leader, I have failed your trust..."

The clan chief sighed, "It's enough that she knows her mistakes and can correct them, but Meixiao still hasn't woken up."

The one who was hurt the most in this matter was probably Mei Xiao. Mei Xiao was jealous of her older sister Chi Mei and wanted to get rid of Chi Mei after she took power. But Chi Mei didn't care about any of this, after all, she was her dear younger sister.

Chi Mei walked towards Mei Xiao and stroked Mei Xiao, who had transformed into a giant nine-tailed fox.

"Meixiao, I'm sorry, I haven't considered your feelings before..."

Meixiao seemed to stir slightly as she was being stroked.

In the sky above, two figures were clashing repeatedly. Qin Yu had inherited the power left behind by Wu Qing within the Blackfire Kingdom, which could be considered the purest form of the Thousand Transformations.

The other Wuqing, who manifested evil energy, obtained the power pieced together from the memories of the original Wuqing within the demon beasts.

It can also be considered a pure example of ever-changing.

The two constantly changed forms during their battle, sometimes transforming into a tiger, sometimes into a wolf, sometimes into a deer...

In the eyes of those demonic beasts, the two Wuqings were evenly matched in combat power, and it was hard to say who was stronger.

"Incredible, it's like seeing the real King Wuqing in battle."

Regardless of which one it was, these clan leaders all felt that he was truly enlightened, at least in terms of combat.

"Well, whether it's real or fake, we can treat it as two Wuqings fighting..."

The hermit of the bamboo forest, who had long resided within the mountain gate, finally emerged. The clan leaders were quite surprised to see him, as the hermit of the bamboo forest was the most mysterious and least visible among the demon beasts.

"Layman, why are you out here?"

The chieftain of the giant bear clan came to offer his condolences.

"Living at the mountain gate for too long was too stifling, so I came out for some fresh air, and luckily I arrived at such a wonderful time..."

The clan chief certainly didn't believe the first two sentences of the Bamboo Grove Hermit's words; he was more convinced that the Bamboo Grove Hermit had appeared because of the battle between the real and fake kings.

Qin Yu transformed into a dragon and pounced on Wu Qing, while the fake Wu Qing also transformed into a dragon and fought with him.

"go with!"

As the hair was thrown out, clones appeared, turning the sky into a battlefield of ten thousand people, while the main body was also engaged in fierce fighting.

Although Qin Yu can now unleash Wu Qing's full strength, it's ultimately not something he excels at, so he can only fight Wu Qing to a standstill.

If it were the old me, I would have crushed him to pieces long ago.

"You imposter..."

The fake Wuqing directly called the Wuqing that Qin Yu had transformed into a fake, which was a provocation to Qin Yu.

"It's no use pretending, we're both imposters."

Qin Yu swung the Heavenly Principle sword, making it several times larger, and smashed it down on the fake Wu Qing. This blow sent the fake Wu Qing flying a great distance, and at the same time, Qin Yu wiped out all the other clones.

Pressing their advantage, Qin Yu's Heavenly Principle was far superior to the battle staff in the fake Wuqing's hands. Relying on the suppression of the Heavenly Fate Treasure, Qin Yu finally turned the tide.

"..."

The fake Wuqing never expected that the Heavenly Mandate Treasure in Qin Yu's hands would possess such power, even surpassing the weapon in the real Wuqing's hands.

"Your Majesty has suppressed that imposter!"

"Long live the King!"

......

Seeing that they had the upper hand, the monsters cheered and regarded Qin Yu as their true king.

"It was truly difficult; in the end, it was only through divine justice that he was subdued..."

If he had used a different weapon, Qin Yu would have won long ago. But for the sake of the king in the hearts of the people of the Demon Beast Capital, Qin Yu decided to do a good deed and save the entire Demon Beast Capital in the form of Wu Qing.

The battle staff formed from the power of Heavenly Principles extended again, directly pushing the fake Wuqing below the ground. Qin Yu could now feel the power of the battle staff, but it was limited to the fact that it could grow longer and thicker and that the material was very hard.

A small hole appeared in the ground, and the Heavenly Principle Battle Staff completely suppressed the fake Wuqing.

boom!

The ground shook, and the fake Wuqing broke through the surface, heading towards Qin Yu.

Qin Yu swung his battle staff horizontally, and with a sweep, sent the fake Wu Qing flying again, as if he were toying with him.

"I have a feeling that Xiaoyu seems to be having some fun..."

Luna observed that Qin Yu's current fighting style had truly transcended the original Qin Yu, completely merging with him. This was the highest realm of ever-changing forms—selflessness.

Now his fighting style is exactly the same as Wu Qing's. The fake Wu Qing was also stunned. The weapon in his hand is indeed the key factor in determining the outcome. The battle staff in his hand is no match for the Heavenly Principle in Qin Yu's hand.

"I'll send you straight on your way!"

He threw out the Heavenly Principle Battle Staff, which swelled in size, instantly becoming a hundred times larger, like a pillar reaching the sky. It smashed the fake Wuqing into the ground, and Heavenly Principle ignited flames, burning the fake Wuqing who was trapped underneath.

The evil energy continued to evaporate, and the false enlightenment gradually dissipated.

In an instant, the battle staff returned to its original form and was back in Qin Yu's hand.

For a moment, the previously noisy monsters fell into a brief silence, and then began to cheer again.

The demons were cheering for Wuqing's name, their king.

Qin Yu simply waved to them, then his figure vanished into the rosy glow of the sky.

"Your Majesty..."

For a moment, everyone was stunned; King Wuqing had disappeared again.

"Could it be that King Wuqing knew we were in trouble and that's why he came back to protect us?"

"That might just be the king's soul..."

......

Regardless of the truth, in the hearts of the people of these demon beasts, Wuqing will always be their king.

The afterglow of the sunset lingered. Chi Mei held Mei Xiao in her arms, looking at the distant sky. She already knew what she had to do from now on.

It's not about relying on your master, but about becoming or even surpassing your master, and constantly striving towards that goal.

[The "One Thought Leads to Demonhood" quest is complete! Congratulations on completing the hidden questline! Rewards upgraded!]

[Based on the player's current rank, directly upgrade them to rank nine!]

The reward for this task is quite simple and straightforward, but that's understandable, considering Qin Yu was the only player to complete a task that should have been done by a group of players. The original experience distribution was replaced by a rank increase, which isn't bad overall; it can improve his strength.

Improvement is always a good thing...

Chapter 288 The Treasures of the Sirius Clan

cattery

Qin Yu has almost finished his business in the Demon Beast Capital. Once Ugly Orange has finished packing up, he can return to his territory.

"Ugly Orange, are you all better?"

"Wait a little longer, meow~"

Qin Yu didn't know what Ugly Orange was packing inside. He remembered that there didn't seem to be anything else in her room.
