In case it's discovered...
This play can no longer go on.
Bei Ming Hu frowned slightly. This riddler's style was somewhat inconsistent with the Nangong family in his memory. The Nangong family has always been known for being straightforward and basically speaking frankly.
To put it simply, it means speaking without thinking... saying what's on your mind without holding back.
Even if it's something that can't be said, she will tell you bluntly that you don't need to know.
However... Bei Ming Hu did not become suspicious because of this. He just thought that over the long years, Lord Nangong was different from before, because he was just like that.
In addition, in fact, Bei Ming Hu and Nan Gong were not familiar with each other. To be more precise, Bei Ming Hu knew Nan Gong, but Nan Gong did not know Bei Ming Hu.
After all, Bei Ming Hu back then was just an inconspicuous elder of the Bei Ming ancient clan, not even a clan elder. If he had not obtained the method of reincarnation and cultivation by chance, how could he have survived to this day.
Every time Bei Ming Hu reincarnates and starts over, he will lose some of his memories. Otherwise, with so many burdens to bear, the new soul may not be able to bear the pressure of countless years.
So after all these years, Bei Ming Hu's personality is very different from what it was before. This small change in Lord Nangong is not a big deal. It just makes Bei Ming Hu sigh that time flies and even a big figure like Nangong will change because of this.
Of course, what makes Bei Minghu so sure of Luo Xue’s “Nangong” identity is not just her current appearance.
This girl's soul and aura carry a hint of terror from eternity, which is why Bei Ming Hu is so convinced.
After countless years, seeing his old friend again, Bei Ming Hu couldn't help but feel that things had changed, but he soon calmed down and whispered,
"Master Nangong, if you intend to take away your Beiming Breaking Evil Formation, please forgive the Beiming Ancient Clan for not being able to comply."
The Bei Ming Destroying Evil Formation... is it from Senior Nangong
Luo Xue was slightly surprised. The last time Senior Nangong woke up, he didn't seem to have mentioned this...
However, Senior Nangong was indeed very familiar with the Beiming Breaking Evil Formation. She was well aware that although Senior Nangong knew almost nothing about formations, he was able to skillfully control the Beiming Breaking Evil Formation.
Presumably, the predecessors of the Nangong family must have been in charge of this killing formation.
Sitting in it and owning it are two different things...
Of course, no matter which possibility it is, the Bei Ming Ancient Clan would not be the real master of the Bei Ming Breaking Evil Array, because they were only a slave family responsible for guarding and maintaining the formation back then, otherwise they would not have been unaware of how to activate the killing form of the Bei Ming Breaking Evil Array.
"You guys don't know how to use this formation at all," Luo Xue shook her head and said, "especially those arrogant and ignorant people... Maybe it's you who added unnecessary details to the formation and made it a laughing stock."
"It is indeed my humble work. It is a crude work and indeed a laughing stock." As the conversation continued, Bei Ming Hu gradually regained his former confidence and said, holding up his sleeves, "But sir, if you have the technique to control the formation, why not pass it on to the Bei Ming Ancient Clan so that the Evil Breaking Formation can exert its due power."
What about the great men of the past? They are buried deep in the earth. Times are different now.
The current Beiming Ancient Clan has become an ancient clan on par with the Nangong Clan, and Beiming Hu is a strong contender for the next clan leader.
As long as he waits until this incident has ended and he has accumulated enough reputation, when the Beiming Heaven returns to silence, he will be the patriarch of the entire Beiming Ancient Clan.
Back then, Nangong was just the patriarch of the Nangong clan. If you round it off, there isn't much difference between their identities.
Thinking of this, Bei Ming Hu couldn't help but raise his chest slightly.
He was waiting for "Lord Nangong" to propose the terms of the transaction. As long as he could exchange it for the control method of the Beiming Breaking Evil Array, the strength of the Beiming Ancient Clan would be increased by more than 30%.
Being able to accomplish all this, most of the credit will be attributed to myself. By then, won't the position of clan leader be within my grasp
"You can't."
Luo Xue shook her head and said, this sentence actually had some of the feeling of Nangong family.
"I can't?" Bei Ming Hu was stunned for a moment, "Sir, what do you mean?"
Luo Xue looked at Bei Ming Hu meaningfully. This puppet was about to reach its limit, and she could sense that Nangong Mian and Dugu Xue had brought her other puppets to the center of the formation.
In other words...
This is the end of the conversation.
Nangong Ling had already passed on some information about Bei Ming Hu to her the moment they met. Combined with this short period of contact, Luo Xue could be sure that Bei Ming Hu's status would not be very high in the ancient times.
Because... the Beiming Breaking Evil Array most likely does not belong to the Nangong family. If it was something of the Nangong family, how could it continue to be left to the Beiming Ancient Clan to guard.
Although this Bei Ming Hu was able to hide his identity for such a long time and only revealed it when he met her today, he must have his extraordinary qualities. But unfortunately, he did not have what Luo Xue wanted to know.
Regarding the secrets of the ancient times, Bei Ming Hu might not know as much as Nangong Taizu Lao, who is just a minor character who has managed to survive from the ancient times to the present.
Therefore, Luo Xue did not intend to continue to pester her. While Bei Minghu was anxiously waiting for her next words, she closed her eyes.
The next moment, the Immortal Will finally completely eroded the puppet. The skin began to crack, the Immortal Flame ignited out of thin air, and the nodes connecting the formation also began to be eroded by the Immortal Will.
Bei Ming Hu was shocked when he reacted. Only then did he remember why he came to Luo Xue in the first place. He quickly took action to extinguish these eternal flames.
Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to suppress the Eternal Flame, and soon, the Eternal Flame spread along the devices connected to the cultivators' meridians, and all the external devices of the Beiming Breaking Evil Array ignited the Eternal Flame.
In an instant, all the Beiming guards guarding near the nodes of the formation began to panic, but no one dared to directly touch these eternal flames.
The law of the end of the world brings fear from the root of everything. Even plants that have developed consciousness are scrambling to avoid these strange and terrifying flames.
"Miss Nangong, come and help!"
Bei Ming Hu turned his head to look at Nangong Ling, but Nangong Ling crossed his arms and said,
"Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do."
"Isn't this the bloodline ability of your Nangong clan?" Bei Minghu gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the fire, but once these immortal flames came into contact with spiritual power, they would grow rapidly.
Unless one has the corresponding will to suppress the withering, one can only let these eternal flames continue to burn.
"It's not the bloodline ability, it's the bloodline." Nangong Ling spread his hands and said, "We have the bloodline that carries the immortal will flowing in our veins, but it doesn't mean that we can control the real immortal will... This is the ancestor, I don't even know when she suddenly resurrected."
Bei Ming Hu believed the latter sentence. After all, no one from the Bei Ming ancient clan knew about his reincarnation.
But the previous words... Bei Ming Hu would not believe it. Perhaps not every descendant of the Nangong clan could master the immortal will, but at least Nangong Ling possessed such ability, even if it was only a part of it.
"There is another way." Nangong Ling said, "Destroy these devices before the Eternal Flame spreads."
"Destroy..."
Bei Ming Hu's breathing stagnated a little.
This was the result of his painstaking research for tens of thousands of years, and the key for him to become an elder of the clan. How could he just destroy it
His achievements and his ambition to become the patriarch of the Beiming Ancient Clan were all due to these devices.
Putting these aside, Bei Ming Hu is just an average-level Sea Crossing Realm cultivator.
In the Beiming Ancient Clan, he could be an ordinary clan elder at best, and this life, which he had finally gained with enough talent, would be wasted.
However, if it is not destroyed, once the Eternal Flame spreads to the entire Beiming base, the consequences will be disastrous.
Bei Ming Hu's expression was uncertain for a while, and finally he looked at the rising Eternal Flame, gritted his teeth, and gave an order,
"Pass the order down, destroy all the small Zhoutian devices!"
Chapter 228: The Sorrow of the Source River
Luo Xue's sudden suicide caught Bei Ming Hu off guard. Coupled with the fact that he saw the glorious figure from countless years ago again, he was a little dazed for a moment.
After calming down a little, Bei Ming Hu calmed down again.
He knew very well that "Nangong" was definitely not annihilated, and it was very likely that her annihilation at this moment was not to destroy the device on the Beiming Breaking Evil Array.
After careful recollection, Bei Ming Hu discovered that when they first met, "Nangong" was already in an unstable state and on the verge of collapse.
But... he still had many doubts in his heart.
It's not just what "Nangong" didn't finish saying, the most important thing is why "Nangong" reappeared after many years.
She shouldn't be there, at least not in this form.
Because when the news of Nangong's demise came out, Bei Ming Hu was among the first group of ancient cultivators to arrive at the scene.
Even if they survive, they will only be a remnant soul without consciousness and will never have a complete and clear mind.
So...what on earth is the Nangong clan doing
Bei Ming Hu looked at Nangong Ling beside him, but only saw Nangong Ling's slightly smiling expression and couldn't tell what she was thinking.
"This is the Nangong clan... they're so troublesome." Bei Minghu's expression turned a little colder.
In fact, Bei Minghu's judgment was not wrong.
The remaining soul of the Nangong family, that is, the holy soul that was enshrined, had no sanity at all. In order to protect the ancestor's last wishes, this holy soul was not even named after the Nangong family.
As for the consciousness existing in Luo Xue's soul, it was a trump card left by Nangong before the war out of some concerns and considerations, so it has partial consciousness.
After Bei Ming Hu's order was passed down, Bei Ming Tian's messenger came soon and conveyed the clan leader's doubts directly to Bei Ming Hu.
Why choose to destroy all the devices at this time? The crisis of the Udugu tribe is imminent. If the formation cannot be restarted before then, they will have to use all their strength to withstand this crisis.
The longer it drags on, the more dangerous the Beiming Ancient Clan will become, and there may even be a crisis of genocide.
After hearing the envoy's question, Bei Ming Hu took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice,
"Reporting to the clan leader, this matter may be related to the Nangong clan. We will be able to restart the formation within three days!"
The patriarch's messenger looked at Bei Ming Hu deeply, leaned forward and said,
"I hope the elders of the Amber tribe will take the safety of the Ancient tribe to heart and not treat it as a joke."
After saying this, the messenger waved his sleeves and left, leaving Bei Ming Hu with an increasingly gloomy face.
"Why... would she say I can't do it?"
Bei Ming Hu frowned. He wanted to decipher the meaning of this sentence, but the amount of information was too little.
There was definitely no hope for Nangong Ling next to him. This woman looked like she was enjoying the show from beginning to end, and she wouldn't tell him even if she knew.
It doesn't matter. Since the other party deliberately let me show up and said a few words before dying, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. There must be some deeper meaning.
Unless the opponent can bypass the Beiming Ancient Clan's defenses and enter the center of the formation, he will not be able to control the entire Beiming Breaking Evil Formation.
Bei Ming Hu was not worried about this at all. Even if he wanted to approach the center of the clan protection formation, he had to ask the clan leader for permission, let alone other people.
Even if the Nangong family recovered their strength from ancient times, it would still take a lot of effort to force their way into the center of the formation.
Bei Ming Hu took a deep breath, took a last look at the formation node that was burned by the immortal will, and narrowed his eyes.
"... Let's go back first."
... ...
Inside the ancient city of Yuanhe.
This is a vast city located between the residences of two ancient clans. Although it is called a city, it actually occupies a very large territory, almost equivalent to one state in the four regions of Kyushu.
In the past, due to the two ancient clans, the Yuanhe Ancient City was extremely prosperous. However, after the disaster of evil demons from outside the domain broke out, the Yuanhe Ancient City became the place that was hit the hardest besides the ancient clans.
After the fall of the Uto ancient tribe, the ancient city of Yuanhe was completely turned into a ruined city.
The cultivators who could escape in the city had already left. Those who remained were either cultivators with weak cultivation or those who had a strong attachment to the ancient city of Yuanhe.
Not long after, the monks of the ancient Yudu clan who were infected by evil power came to wreak havoc. The ancient city of Yuanhe was no doubt like hell on earth. There was no living thing anywhere, and even the flesh that was barely moving was filled with unpredictable strange tumors.
"The power of the evil spirit has gradually recovered. Such a wonderful 'power of God' is flowing in my body... Hehe, soon, I will be able to return to the peak."
Yuto Makoto strolled leisurely among the ruins, surrounded by dead trees and plants, as well as wriggling and twisted monsters.
Under his guidance, the remaining body of the evil demon devoured almost all the monks in the ancient city of Yuanhe, transforming their existence into part of the evil demon from outside the domain.
This huge ancient city has become a breeding ground for evil.
Yu Ducheng, who is completely parasitic on the remains of the evil demon, naturally also enjoys the "divine power" possessed by the evil demon from outside the domain, and walks on an unprecedented terrifying road.
He saw clearly that the end of the road was exactly the realm of the Great Emperor that he had longed to reach again for so many years.
Becoming the master of the Great Dao will allow you to become a great emperor, and this is the true destination.
And this time, the unknowable "Him" will become his helper, rather than a terrifying existence that destroys the Avenue.
However, if one wants to become an emperor, an ancient city of Yuanhe is not enough.
Although there are many cultivators in the Yuanhe Ancient City, those who have the ability to leave have already left, and there are almost no powerful people above the Yuhua Realm.
These little shrimps can just barely fill your stomach, but there's no way to get enough of them.
Therefore, Yu Ducheng set his sights on his old rival, the Beiming Ancient Clan.
However, Yu Ducheng looked down on the Beiming Ancient Clan in his heart. After all, it was just a small family guarding a large formation back then, and was not worthy of the same ancient clan title as Yu Du.
In the past, the ancient Udu clan and the Nangong clan were on equal footing. The ancient Beiming clan was just lucky enough to pick up an ultimate formation, and only then did they gradually develop.
Of course, after so many years, the strength of the Beiming Ancient Clan cannot be underestimated, and it is barely qualified to be used as a main meal.
"Fortunately, they don't know how to actually activate the Beiming Breaking Evil Array. Otherwise, given my current situation, it would be a bit troublesome."
