One day, the parallel world collapsed

In the desert where the yellow sand stretches, the wind blows the sand and smears the air into the color of kraft paper.At first glance, the mound is close at hand, but when it is approached, it has been buried by wind and sand and there is no trace.There is no human habitation, only the corpses of lost animals are lying in it, and they have not even been eaten by other animals, and they are slowly rotting and air-drying as they were at the last moment before they died.The sky here is very dark, and it always reveals a sense of suffocation full of lifelessness.

Mo Bai followed Xia Qingfeng's spirit voice to pass through the desert to the stone wall cave where he was, and saw the other party squatting on the ground, dazed and motionless.Mo Bai frowned slightly, and walked over.

When the shadow blocked the light outside the cave, Xia Qingfeng, who was squatting on the ground, shook his body.What he held in his hand was a watch, the dial was broken and the hands were no longer moving.Three letters [MZC] are engraved on the base, which are the initials of Muzichen's name.Mo Bai looked at the watch, his eyes moved, and Xia Qingfeng said in a low voice: "He was here before..."

"Mo Bai..." Xia Qingfeng lowered his head, his back was facing the light, he couldn't see his expression clearly, only his voice seemed extraordinarily tired.He laughed lowly at himself, "So it's really my brother..."

"It's really my senior brother, Xu, Qing, and Quan." He turned his head and raised his eyes to look at Mo Bai's expressionless face against the light, "I've always been conceited and refused to believe you, so stupid..."

This stone wall cave is the place where Xia Qingfeng and Xu Qingquan arranged to keep the Tu Shenjian. It is at the junction of the human world and the demon world.The air and demonic energy are mixed here, and no living beings dare to set foot there; and because of an agreement 7000 years ago, the gate between the demon world and the human world will be closed for 1 years, and the demons will not be able to interfere, so this is indeed a good place to keep the sword of slaughtering gods. place.The devilish energy here is also conducive to the release of the resentment of the undead on the Sword of Slaughtering God.They set up a defensive barrier for the stone wall cave, and let the flame bird Fire Phoenix guard it. Xia Qingfeng thought it was safe.

But now it seems that this arrangement is simply a joke.

The defensive barrier at the entrance of the cave has been shattered and disappeared, and the God-slaying Sword is no longer inside.Except for Mu Zichen's broken watch, the cave on the stone wall was clean and nothing was left.

Mo Bai looked at Xia Qingfeng's gloomy expression, his eyes moved but he didn't say anything.He tapped his fingertips a few times, and a small group of fluorescent lights appeared in his palm, and then turned into dense pure white starlight and spread out in all directions.Xia Qingfeng watched the white starlight clinging to the cave wall, suspended in the air, and then a few phantoms gradually appeared in the whole cave, walking back and forth.

He saw the Tu Shenjian wrapped in a transparent protective cover, he saw a familiar figure, he saw the unconscious Mu Zichen being wrapped up by a big red snake and threw him to the ground, and he saw the big snake transform into a long red snake. The curly-haired, beautiful-looking woman saw Xu Qingquan walk in from the stone wall cave with a gloomy expression.

"is her?!"

Xia Qingfeng clenched her fists violently, and watched the woman brush her hair and walk towards him the moment she saw Xu Qingquan walk in, she put her arms around his shoulders and pressed him against him as if asking for credit, her charming tone sounded : "Here, the clean soul you want to heal your wounds is brought to you. Don't forget to agree to my conditions." Then stepping on high heels and twisting his waist, he left.

The technique Mo Bai set up only restored what happened in the cave during the few days when Mu Zichen disappeared.Hearing what Xia Qingfeng blurted out, and following the other person's line of sight to see the figure of the woman he was staring at, his eyes changed.

He remembered that in the Shede teahouse, the fox demon Laoqiu lit the incense burner, and he had a conversation with this woman. "Do you know this snake demon?"

Xia Qingfeng frowned and nodded: "Yes. She is the person in charge of the demon world in the department."

"But I didn't expect that she would collude with my senior brother."

"In the Shede Teahouse, Lao Qiu had a conversation with her and mentioned that this is a deal."

Xia Qingfeng frowned.Mo Bai then replied: "She helped Xu Qingquan to prosper for the demon world."

The human world is growing stronger day by day, squeezing the living space of the demon world with which they are most closely connected. This can often be seen in the news of human beings themselves.The spiritual energy in the world is thin, and the growth rate of the monster race cannot match the growth rate of the greedy people.Humans seem to have gotten used to the feeling of being in control of the world, and to "man will conquer the sky". More and more lives of the monster race are lost in the hands of human beings.In order to compete for territory from humans, the Chilian Snake Demon allowed the Snake Race and the Monster Race to have a place to live, even if there is selfishness in the middle, from the perspective of the entire demon world, it may also be called righteousness.

However, it is wrong to hurt innocent people with one's own heart.Whether it is a human being or a demon race, let alone a god.

In the phantom, Xu Qingquan was casting spells on Mu Zichen.Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng's eyes sank after just one look.

"He's trying to lure out Mu Zichen's soul." Xia Qingfeng clenched his fists and said.

Xu Qingquan's palm was propped on top of Mu Zichen's body, and a formation was circulating.As the light flickered on the array, Mu Zichen's body trembled like a convulsion, his face became hideous in pain, and the veins on his forehead bulged.He stared at the sky, clawed the ground with his curled fingers, and opened his mouth in vain to make a "ho ho" sound. He only had the body's automatic reaction of suffering pain, but he had no clear consciousness.

Xia Qingfeng watched, his lips trembling involuntarily.Mo Bai's face was also very cold, but he was more rational and restrained than Xia Qingfeng, so he just closed his eyes and continued to watch Xu Qingquan in the phantom trying to strip Mu Zichen's soul from his body.

As the light on the array plate became more dazzling, Xu Qingquan's forehead began to be covered with sweat.His brows were also furrowed, as if he was also suffering from severe physical pain.Mo Bai squinted his eyes and saw that the scar on Xu Qingquan's forearm left after being backlashed by the forbidden technique began to split and ooze black blood as the spiritual power he exerted on the formation plate strengthened.

Mo Bai's expression changed.

Now it seems that Xu Qingquan's backlash against the forbidden technique is more serious than he thought, and it has reached the point where the opponent will relapse once as long as he uses the technique.However, according to Xu Qingquan's achievements in today's world art skills, he should not be able to reach this level.

In the phantom, a layer of faint golden light began to appear on Mu Zichen's body, and a hazy, almost transparent shadow that was as tall as him emerged from him.Seeing this, Xu Qingquan ignored the wound on his arm that was bleeding black blood and dissipating his spiritual energy, and once again strengthened the spiritual energy exerted on the array.Mu Zichen's body trembled violently, and the transparent shadow was stretched and deformed in an instant, like a golden thin film covering him and the array, but stubbornly left a part in his body refused to leave.

Muzichen's body twisted and arched upwards, his wide-open eyes turned scarlet red from the bloodshot, and his teeth trembled and made a "cluck-clack" sound.

"Owner!"

Following the exclamation of Huohuang who was standing beside him, Xu Qingquan withdrew his hand and took a step back, staring at Mu Zichen's soul suddenly retracted into his body with a pale face, and Mu Zichen's body's reaction also stopped.Xu Qingquan was supported by the fire phoenix, blood dripped down his forearm and fingertips, it was no longer thick and smelly black, but a bright red with light fluorescence.His entire arm was still trembling, he just stared at Mu Zichen who seemed to have lost his life on the ground, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Although Mu Zichen was the clean soul Chi Lian Snake had found for him that was most suitable for him to heal old wounds, Xu Qingquan apparently never thought that this soul would be so tenacious.He couldn't peel it off from his body even after using so much strength, and it also caused him to consume too much spiritual power and hurt his soul.

When Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng saw this, they also breathed a sigh of relief.Xia Qingfeng came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Mo Bai's cold and indifferent face, curled his lips into a light smile and said, "Fortunately, his vitality is tenacious enough."

In the six realms, each soul corresponds to a host.Only when the host body dies and the soul becomes a ghost, the relationship between them and the host body will be cut off by itself, and the soul will float out of the host body, and then be recovered by the ghost world, or wander around until it is captured by something else. Devour, disperse and even become unconscious afterimages.When the host body is not dead, the relationship between the soul and the host body is very close. Only when the host body is sick and the brain is damaged, this relationship will be weakened.Otherwise, even if someone tries to forcibly crack it by applying a strange spell, it will not be easy.And like Mu Zichen, it is a soul with extremely strong mental power that is rare in the world.

Hearing this, Mo Bai looked at the scar on Xia Qingfeng's palm that he dug out by himself, and asked, "Does Xu Qingquan have any old injuries?"

Xia Qingfeng was taken aback, as if he didn't understand what Mo Bai meant.After thinking for a while, he responded, and replied: "Since the human world suffered serious injuries in the matter of dealing with the devourers, my teacher—he has never been seriously injured again. However, after that, his magic power I never advanced..." At this point, Xia Qingfeng smiled, not knowing whether it was more sad or angry, and perhaps a little bit of blame for himself. "I always thought that he was injured to the root of his bones. I never thought that his injury might never heal."

If the wound left by the spirit devourer is not healed, it will continue to damage the spiritual power of the root bone. This can also explain why Xu Qingquan has never made any progress in the following years, and even went to chase him with Mo Bai that day. When the person who snatched the keel flute encountered an attack, he didn't realize that it was controlled by magic.Although that person and Xu Qingquan were probably in the same group and planned it long ago, it cannot be ruled out that Xu Qingquan's ability to comprehend and control spells is indeed declining.

And if you want to heal the damage on the spiritual root, you must use pure spiritual power to repair it.This kind of repair consumes a lot of the essence of the person who is healing, and it can basically be regarded as a method of "changing life for life". Even the strongest at the peak will definitely consume a lot of cultivation.If it was left in the era of abundant aura thousands of years ago, it would be a waste of cultivation base, and it would be the same after re-cultivation.But now, the spiritual energy in the world is exhausted, and whose spiritual power and cultivation are so precious, how can they be used to heal others casually?

Xia Qingyue almost died when she failed to cross the tribulation, but Xia Qingfeng exhausted her cultivation to save her life.If his master hadn't asked the Heavenly Emperor for a ten-thousand-year spiritual fruit, Xia Qingfeng might have died that year.Even so, Xia Qingfeng spent nearly ten years in seclusion after that before recovering his cultivation.And Xia Qingfeng is a genius in the teacher's school, a proud son of heaven, his master and the emperor of heaven are willing to use a rare ten thousand year spirit fruit for him.But what about Xu Qingquan?

Not to mention that Mo Bai, who was not familiar with this other world, didn't know the answer, even Xia Qingfeng couldn't be sure.

"But, Mo Bai." Xia Qingfeng lowered his eyes and spoke in a dignified tone, "This is a mistake."

Mo Bai didn't expect Xia Qingfeng to make such a judgment, his eyes moved, and he responded, "Yes."

"In the past, it was his own choice to deal with the chaos caused by the spirit devourer in the human world. But now it is up to others to choose whether he is willing to give his life to heal his wounds."

Xia Qingfeng's eyes became firm again.He watched the fire phoenix in the phantom leading the men to clean up everything in the stone wall cave, watched Mu Zichen being taken away by them, and tightened his grip on the broken watch in his hand.

"I want to stop him." He looked up into Mo Bai's transparent eyes, "Please help me."

The dots of spiritual light in the cave gathered in Mo Bai's hands again.Mo Bai raised his palm, and looked at Xia Qingfeng's resolute expression through the pure white fluorescent light in his palm, and then he lightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay."

The fluorescence in the closed palms dissipated, and at the same time, Mo Bai suddenly spread his consciousness outward.
