[Honghuang] After dressing as the goddess of laurel, I came to Honghuang again

Nine Heavens, Demon Court.

Di Jun thought for a long time and finally sent the news 33 days away, waiting for Zhun Ti's reply.As a result, until now, there is still no one coming over there.

"Is he not going to help us?" Taiyi said, "Could it be that he has already discovered that we know the truth of the matter?"

Di Jun shook his head slowly: "With his character, he won't be completely unresponsive, and he probably won't be able to come over."

If he hadn't completely torn his face, Zhunti wouldn't have done it so ugly, even if he didn't want to help, he would send a message back.

The reason why he still contacts Zhunti is because he has the idea of ​​using Zhunti's ability to help the Yaozu.But I didn't expect that there was no news to mention now.

The one who may restrain the saint, I am afraid it can only be the saint.

"It seems that it is impossible to rely on the power of 33 days away. The most important thing is to rely on ourselves." After Di Jun said, he thought carefully about his arrangements for so many years and the current strength of Yaoting.

He had to think of a way to save the current disadvantage at the lowest cost.

Maybe this disadvantage is not obvious now, but wait for a long time.There will inevitably be a bigger difference, and Yaozu can't delay any longer.

While thinking, Di Jun suddenly thought of something, got up and said, "Go, come with me to the lotus pond."

Donghuang Taiyi didn't understand what he meant, but still followed him to the lotus pond.Speaking of which, the lotus pond was proposed by Zhunti at that time. Now that Dijun came here, could it be that he has some deep meaning?

This lotus pond is not something extraordinary, so it has been blooming undefeated.However, among the pink lotus flowers scattered around, there is a white lotus flower surrounded.

The white lotus blooms quietly, it doesn't look like other lotus flowers, but everyone who comes here will not ignore it.

Di Jun stepped on the lotus and flew in front of the white lotus, and stretched out his hand to grab the lotus.

When he flew back, Donghuang Taiyi immediately asked: "How?"

Di Jun placed the white lotus in front of him, and saw a jade slip lying on Lian Xin's place.The content on the jade slip is temporarily unclear.

The two changed to a private environment, and immediately probed the contents of the jade slip.

Donghuang Taiyi asked suspiciously: "Sword to slaughter witches? What is this?"

"It is said on the jade slip that this sword can break through the witch clan." Di Jun fiddled with the jade slip, his eyes darkened, "It's just that the material is special."

"What material?" Donghuang Taiyi asked.

"Human spirit."

There was a nest tribe, a human tribe came out of the door yawning, and then greeted the fox tribe guarding outside.

Because of the rule of the Heavenly Court, the relationship between the various ethnic groups is pretty good.Although there are differences between various ethnic groups, and occasionally there will be friction, but there will also be this state of human race mixing with other ethnic groups.

For example, the fox tribe in front of them had nowhere to go after leaving the tribe, so they were absorbed by the nest tribe.

The fox soldier said: "It's been a mess recently. When you go out to find food, don't leave too far away. Even if there is a problem, we can get out quickly."

The man nodded and left the tribe with a wooden fork.

At this time, the sky is not yet bright, and the stars hanging above can still be seen vaguely.The man is going up the mountain today, and wants to hunt some prey and come back.

He is already very familiar with this place. When going up the mountain, there is a small path that has been trampled out. Men can walk right with their eyes closed.

As he was walking, his eyes blurred, as if a pheasant with colorful feathers had slipped away.The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran up after the pheasant.

After he left, a vine on the side of the road suddenly moved.

The leaves of the vine were about half the size of a palm, with an ominous purple-red edge. It was hiding under the soil just now, so it was not eye-catching.However, when the vine stood up slightly, if someone saw it, they might think it was a dark red snake.

Like a snake, the vines swam among the mountains and forests, and then chased after the man.

"Finally let me catch you." The man grabbed the pheasant's wings with his hands, and looked at the struggling pheasant in his hands, with the joy of harvest still on his face.

But the man immersed in joy did not notice that a vine was winding down from the big tree behind him.

When the purple grass blades tightened around the man's neck and took his life away, the forest regained its silence.

Pheasant stared at this scene with his eyes open, and then surrounded the man's body with icy eyes with vines.

"This is not the first time." Bai Ze sorted out the jade plaque and said, "The immortal officials stationed in various places have reported that people from various human tribes have disappeared quietly. At first, everyone didn't care. They thought they were out on business. But after waiting for more than ten days without returning, and more and more people missing, they finally noticed, so they hinted to the divination master to report this matter."

Shang Zhi took the jade slips, frowned and asked, "How many people have you lost?"

"It's difficult to calculate." Bai Ze looked worried, "First of all, before this, the major tribes have not registered the number of people. After all, if the lower realm wants to survive, it is very likely that someone will suddenly lose their life, and no one will notice. The second is that only the divination masters in the center of the tribe can offer sacrifices to heaven, and there is no time to count the number of people in other peripheral areas. Therefore, we cannot give a specific date for the time being."

"Approximately how many people are there?" Shang Zhi asked.

"There are probably tens of thousands of people in all places." Bai Ze said worriedly.

Shang Zhi frowned.Ten thousand people disappeared at the same time recently. This cannot be described as a coincidence at all. It can only mean that someone has targeted the human race and shot them.

Bai Ze continued: "What's more, recently there have been rumors that no other races were injured, only the human race has been disappearing, it may be... other races want to kill the human race, and many of them are no different from the monster race , I don’t know how this rumor came out, but it made all parties very unhappy. Some human races already wanted to drive away members of other tribes in the tribe, and those people were not convinced and felt wronged. Now we have to do something to suppress Get rid of this rumor."

"Someone deliberately wanted to pull us into the game, and said that the creatures under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court are the same as the monster race. Do you think it is the rumor of the witch race or the monster race?" Shang Zhi asked back.

Bai Ze shook his head: "No matter what, we must suppress this rumor first."

"There is a way to do this. Before the disappearance of the human race was silent, it would naturally cause panic. As long as the reason for the disappearance of the human race is found out, the rumors will naturally disappear." Shang Zhi pondered for a while, then said, "Tell me first. Immortal officer, let the human race go together as much as possible, don't go out alone, and then send a heavenly soldier to ambush, pretending to be a human race, to see what is attacking them. I plan to go to the netherworld. After the death of the human race, they The undead will go to the nether world, maybe there will be some clues inside."

Bai Ze received the order to arrange things to lure the enemy, while Shang Zhi rushed towards Nether.

Before that, he went to the sea of ​​blood.Styx is in Nether, and he is more familiar with the undead than he is.

When we reached the sea of ​​blood, several bubbles appeared in the sea of ​​blood.After a while, a Taoist with black hair and green clothes came out from the inside and saluted Shang Zhi: "I have seen the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor of Heaven is here to find the Sect Master Styx?"

"you are?"

"Daoist Mosquito, when he was frivolous and provoked the Emperor of Heaven, his wings were shot through." Taoist Mosquito introduced himself.

Shang Zhi remembered.Back then, he shot an arrow through the wings of Taoist Mosquito in the sea of ​​blood. Unexpectedly, he had already transformed into a shape, and he seemed to be quite powerful.

He asked: "Is the leader of Styx in the sea of ​​blood?"

"Yes, it was he who found out that you were coming soon, so he asked me to wait here."

Shang Zhi nodded, followed Daoist Mosquito into the sea of ​​blood, and entered the main hall of Styx River.Compared with other places, the Blood Sea can be said to be the hall of Styx. When they saw Shangzhi along the way, the Asuras saluted one after another. At the same time, they were a little curious. Now that the two Lich clans are fighting, this Heavenly Emperor is not sitting in the Heavenly Court, but came to the Blood Sea. What are you going to do?

Could it be that they want to win over the ancestors to join the Heavenly Court?

But it's not that the Yaozu didn't invite the ancestors, or the demon master Kunpeng personally invited them, but the ancestors didn't go, and the Emperor of Heaven probably couldn't do it either.

In Minghe bedroom, when he heard the maid announced that Shang Zhi had arrived, he quickly threw away the fruit core in his hand, and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, fellow Taoist Shang Zhi, after a farewell back then, you still look the same when we see you again, and now I have to call you the Emperor of Heaven." gone."

Shang Zhi said with a smile: "There is no need to say polite words, Master, I came here today to ask you something."

Ming He's face turned bitter, and he said, "Okay, okay, let's sit down and talk."

"The leader doesn't need to look like this. What I asked won't embarrass you." Shang Zhi saw his expression as if he was executed, and explained to him, "It's about dead souls."

Styx was taken aback for a moment, and then sat down a little faster: "You didn't say it earlier, I thought you would invite me to join."

Shang Zhi was stunned: "Have the two Lich clans come to win you over?"

"Isn't that right. Especially the Yaozu, they even sent Kunpeng over here. It means that I have a little friendship with this kid and wanted to win me over, but I didn't see him, so I refused." At this point, Styx made a good deal with him. , "Unlike Taoist friends, I met you as soon as you came. After all, you also helped me a lot when I created the Asura tribe."

Shang Zhi didn't take his words seriously.If he had the same purpose as Kunpeng, it is estimated that the treatment would not be much better.

Styx's attitude just now was obviously trying to play dumb, but when he heard that Shang Zhi was only here for the undead, he started chatting in peace.

"I'm a little curious. You and Kunpeng have always had a good relationship, so why didn't you agree to him?" Shang Zhi wondered.

Ming He stuffed the fruit into his mouth, laughed for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have lived for so long, and I almost bumped into the Demon Ancestor Luohu back then. It is all due to one reason that I can survive and achieve what I am today."

Shang Zhi curiously waited for him to continue.

"That is not to get involved in things that I can't solve." Styx clapped his palms, shook his head and said, "Look at the period of the three tribes, then the war between dao and demons, and finally this war of liches, do you look familiar? Isn’t this just a copy of each one, except Daozu, which one will have a good end? I don’t think it’s possible to become a character like Daozu, and there is only one Daozu. Now getting involved in the Lich War is courting death.”

Shang Zhi understood.There is only one survival entry for Styx, which is dog.The longer you hold on, the better. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are indeed two points of truth.

Minghe continued: "Let's talk about Kunpeng, let me tell you the truth. Don't think we have a good relationship, but I don't really trust that guy."

Shang Zhi raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

Ming He lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "That kid is too cruel. If I said I didn't get involved in your mess in the first place, then as long as that kid can keep me alive, then it doesn't matter if I stab you twice in the back."

"I am thinking of the help of fellow Taoists in the past, so I would like to remind you that in the future, you must not accept Kunpeng as a subordinate, and don't trust too much when you receive it. You can deal with each other, but it is not suitable for deep friendship."

Shang Zhi knew this without him saying it.When Kunpeng was able to intercept and kill Hongyun, Shang Zhi had a better understanding of this person's character.He must retaliate, but he did not expect that Styx would be so sober.

However, he remembered Minghe's kindness, so he said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Kunpeng works in the Demon Court, so he must have looked down on the Heavenly Court."

"Hey, that's why I don't like to deal with people like you, and talk in a twist and turn every day." Styx shook his head, and then asked, "By the way, didn't you come to talk about the undead? Specifically What, let me see if I can help you?"

"It's not a big deal, but I just want to ask, does the leader know where the souls of the human race who came to Nether have gone during this time?"

"Human souls?" Styx was surprised, "It's been a long time since human souls have come, don't you know?"

Shang Zhi's heart shuddered, and he asked back: "It's been a long time since the dead souls of the human race have come?"

"That's right." Looking at him like this, Styx suddenly realized that this matter might be very important, so he thought about it carefully, and then said, "And I don't know if it's my illusion, I feel that the ghosts of the ghost race seem to have Quite a few disappeared too."

"Why did only the souls of the human race disappear? Or did the other souls disappear as well?" Shang Zhi murmured to himself.

"That's not true, only the human race disappeared."

"Why are fellow daoists so sure?" Shang Zhi wondered.

"Don't you know? Human undead souls are a little different from other undead souls." Styx was even more strange than him, "Wouldn't I cooperate with undead souls, let them merge with the blood sea, and create the Asura clan? Later I discovered Well, the souls of the human race are very different, and the probability of creating an Asura race is very high. I was a little surprised, so I did some research and found that although these human races are weak, they are born with the talent for cultivation, and their essence, blood, spirit, and soul are somewhat Strange. So I have been keeping an eye on the number of dead souls of the human race, and also found their decrease."

"Their purpose is the human spirit." Shang Zhi responded.

But who would take action against human souls, and what would they use them for?

Almost subconsciously, Shang Zhi's suspicion pointed to the Yaozu.It's not that the Wu clan won't use such cruel methods, but that the Wu clan doesn't have a strong understanding of the soul because they don't cultivate the primordial spirit, so the possibility of using dead souls to make a fuss is very small.

Of course, it is also possible that it is precisely because the Wu clan does not cultivate the soul, so they need a means to make up for this shortcoming.

But the possibility is unlikely, because the witch clan prides themselves on the strength of their ****, and there is a large array of gods and gods, so other methods seem superfluous.

It seems that we still have to start with the inexplicable disappearance of the human race.

Suddenly, the beads hanging on Shang Zhi's waist twirled wildly.The whirling sound was so loud that even Styx saw it.He looked at the little bead curiously, and found that Shang Zhi had a serious face, as if he had encountered some trouble.

"Sorry, Master Styx, I have to go back to Heaven, thank you for your help today, the Lich and the other side will not know about our conversation." Shang Zhi put away the beads and promised Styx.

Styx felt very comfortable hearing this.How about Shang Zhi being able to run the Heavenly Court well? Seeing that he was in trouble, he knew to think for him, unlike that guy Kunpeng who only wanted to drag him into the fire pit.

"Then I'll see you off?" Styx asked.

"No, I'll leave now." After finishing speaking, Shang Zhi had already left the pool of blood.It is strange to leave Styx alone.I don't know what happened to make Shang Zhi so anxious.

All the way back to the Heavenly Court, Shang Zhi stared at the bead the whole time, his eyebrows furrowed in anxiety, leaving a faint shadow behind.

This bead was separated from the chaotic bead, and it was originally one with the chaotic bead guarding the eyes of the heavenly formation. Now that the chaotic bead is vibrating, it can only indicate that the formation has been activated.He only taught how to control the formation of the lower realm, there is no formation in the heavenly realm.In other words, something happened in the lower realm, which caused the immortal officials to activate the formation.

When Shang Zhi arrived at Lingxiao Palace, Bai Ze had already been waiting for a long time. When he saw Shang Zhi, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We found it!"

"Is it the demon clan?" Shang Zhi asked.

Bai Ze was stunned, but he didn't expect that he already knew the answer, so he told the story again: "This matter is indeed related to them. I followed your order and took someone out disguised as a human being alone. It may be them It has not been found that we have noticed the matter for the time being, or the order of the human race to return to the tribe has not been known, so those few people were easily attacked. What attacked them was a kind of blood-sucking vine, and some people disguised as pheasants, etc. The monster clan of the prey cooperated and killed many people, and then buried their bodies in the ground."

"But it may be to scare the snake away. The rest of the monsters discovered our movement, so they wanted to escape from the jurisdiction of the heaven. I asked the fairy officials to temporarily activate the formation to trap those monsters who had not been caught. It didn't activate The defensive array is just to prevent people from outside from entering and people from inside from getting out."

Shang Zhi nodded: "How to deal with those monster races?"

"Bring them to the human tribe, and let the tribe chief kill them in front of everyone. There was a conflict between the human race and other ethnic groups before. Didn't you say that you have to let them see the murderer with their own eyes to clear up the misunderstanding?" Speaking of which, Bai Ze was a little puzzled, "Why do you say that the monster race attacked the human race? The human race should not arouse their fear, so let them kill them?"

Shang Zhi looked at Qionglou Yuyu in the west, and said for a while, "If the human race is not threatening them, it can only be related to dealing with the witch race."

"bang bang bang-"

In the forging room of the demon court, the sound of heavy objects beating continued.Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi stood outside. After a while, the door inside was opened, and the bear clan blacksmith came out and saluted the two: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor, the witch-slaying sword has been completed, you two can go Accepted."

Di Jun stepped into the forging room.

The light in the forging room was extremely dark. It looked like a small hall from the outside, but when you entered it, it seemed like you entered a cave.Stars radiate from all sides, and in the center of the room there is a small pool covered with magma, and sparks are crackling in the pool.

Above the small pool, chains flying from all directions controlled a long black sword.The blade is sharp, reflecting the light of fire faintly.

When Di Jun appeared, the witch-slaying sword vibrated and hummed slightly, as if calling for him.

Di Jun reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword.

There was a "click".The chain covering the hilt of the sword was broken inch by inch, and finally turned into dust.But Tu Wujian let out a long howl, but the tip of the sword turned ninety degrees, and stabbed in Dijun's direction.

Di Jun snorted coldly, and a golden pattern appeared on his palm.

The sword endured the pattern, and stopped suddenly at the position approaching Dijun's eyebrows.

In the end, it fell crookedly and recognized Di Jun as its master.

Only then did Donghuang Taiyi step forward, staring at the pitch-black long sword and asked: "Is this the sword that can kill the witch clan?"

Di Jun wiped the blade of the sword with his finger, and then waved the sword to point forward, his eyes were far-reaching: "Isn't it, just try it and you'll know."

"Come here, bring the witch clan you caught earlier!"

The demon soldiers obeyed, and immediately brought a few witches who had been captured alive before into the room.Those witches didn't realize that they were about to encounter danger, and when they saw Di Jun, they cursed: "Little Di Jun! If you are a bit bloody, you will kill us directly! What's the point of imprisoning us here now? "

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi frowned and reprimanded: "A mere Wu clan dares to say such things to my elder brother!"

"Tai Yi, don't waste your time with barbarians like them." Di Jun walked into the Wu Clan holding the Wu Tu Sword.For some reason, the swearing witches felt a strong danger from the sword.He even forgot what he said to insult Di Jun, and only looked at Tu Wujian warily.

In the next moment, the blood energy turned into mist and permeated the entire space.

The stubborn Wu Clan was easily killed. Di Jun didn't even activate the quasi-sage's power, and he had already broken their proud body.

The rest of the witch clan opened their eyes wide, looking at the sword in disbelief.

This sword can actually break through the body of the Wu Clan!

They twisted wildly, wanting to leave here and tell Zu Wu about the sword, but only Di Jun waved the sword indifferently.

Easily killed the Wu clan, Di Jun looked at the blood-free sword and sighed softly: "It's a pity."

Donghuang Taiyi was surprised: "Where is the pity?"

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Court found a problem, and the witch-slaying sword could not be fully refined." Speaking of this, Di Jun snorted coldly, "Originally, with a few souls missing, the witch-slaying sword could be completed, but now it is incomplete. However, Heavenly Court reacted quickly. If I hadn't taken away the souls of the Netherworld race, I might not have been able to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword."

"Brother, do you think that Shangzhi has the purpose of dividing the Liguang Field, which has the largest number of human races, into the Heavenly Court?" Donghuang Taiyi asked.

Di Jun looked at Tu Wujian, thinking of its magical ability, and said in a cold voice: "I have never paid attention to this group of people seriously before, but now it seems that they are born with a Taoist body, can be cultivated, and the spirit has such a miraculous effect. By the time the witch clan is wiped out, these human races must also be eliminated, otherwise it will become a serious problem for my monster clan."

Donghuang Taiyi said: "I'm afraid that the court will protect these human races. After all, they have always paid attention to the creatures under their command, and this time they even trapped the people sent by my monster race."

"So what about Heaven?" Di Jun disdainfully said, "You can kill him in the future."
