Two days after the grand Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Banquet ended, it seemed as if it had no impact on the world.
Those citizens who had moved out because of the earthquake alert returned to the city where they depended on for survival, and continued their lives, whether numb, excited, happy, or sad.
The damage brought by the ghosts to the city was great. Except for the cross-river bridge which was somewhat unrecognizable, nothing else affected the normal operation of the city.
This should be a kind of happiness for ignorant people, right
As for the investigation of the poisoning incident within the Security Bureau, it was also terminated after the return of Haozi and Tiechui. Because no matter how Mu Ming insisted that it was the work of the Spirit Adjustment Department, there was no evidence to prove it.
The only thing that was greatly shaken was the divine world...
If the Spear of Longinus is lost, the Nine-Tailed Fox will be unsealed, and all the blame will be directed at God. Even if everyone doesn't do that, it will still be a disgrace to Catholicism.
God also responded quickly, cutting off all platforms for communication with him, leaving only one statement, "We will handle my family's affairs ourselves. We will not violate the wait-and-see agreement, so just wait and see..."
Everyone knows that this time God is really angry, and the gods can only wait and see how the situation will turn out.
Regarding the heaven of Country Z, Fu Xuzhe's mission was a complete failure.
The attitude of not taking any gods or demons seriously is also one of the sources of Xu Zhe's power.
Now he is asked to be God's lackey. Anyone with a little intelligence knows that it is an impossible task.
So the Jade Emperor did not blame the King of Hell for his poor performance...
But Chang'e, who used the power of the gods to help Xu Zhe heal, did not have such good words.
If Xu Zhe himself was not considered a human being, he would have become the first god to break the agreement.
As for Chang'e's punishment, after the gods repeatedly pleaded for her, she was demoted to guard the Queen Mother's Peach Garden for three hundred years and was not allowed to watch the affairs of the world anymore.
In this storm, there are actually two people who have changed so much that they are so insignificant that they can be ignored: Wu Qian and Xu Zhe.
The Feast of a Hundred Ghosts was also dragged in a horrifying direction because of their changes, and the notes that would shock the three realms began to play from here.
On a sunny morning in Japan, on a winding country road, a group of three people were walking towards the depths of the mountains.
The first one was Yaki, who was smiling and wearing his usual white suit, looking very gentlemanly. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, as if he was just taking a walk.
Behind him was Wu Qian, wearing the same shabby clothes she was wearing when she was arrested, with her hands handcuffed in front of her.
It’s not that Yaqi wanted to abuse the prisoners like this, it’s just that this girl was too uncooperative.
The maids sent to help her bathe and change clothes were all covered with scars. It was a pity that she couldn't use monsters to serve her...
If she wasn't handcuffed now, I guess the only thing on her mind would be running away.
I'm sorry, she should be thinking about it now, but due to the pressure coming from behind, if she makes any extreme move, death will be waiting for her.
The boy who had been following behind her was a human-like boy. But Wu Qian knew that there was no mercy in his eyes, and he looked at her the same way Xu Zhe looked at a monster.
"Why did you bring me here? Do you want to kill me? I'm a civil servant. If you kill me, you'll be getting yourself into an 'international dispute'." Wu Qian said in a warning tone.
"Hehe, you are worthy of being the woman who dares to shoot me. Among humans, you and Xu Zhe are probably the only two who dare to threaten me when I have everything under my control. You two are really a perfect match..." Wu Qian's threat only had one effect, which was to make the man in front of her happy. "Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it in Wuhan. Because if I don't let Xu Zhe watch you die, your death will have no value..."
To Yaqi, Wu Qian is just a "toy".
"I don't understand why you are so obsessed with Xu Zhe? He will never go along with a bastard like you." This is what Wu Qian firmly believes, but also doubts. She doubts whether Xu Zhe can still be as strong as before, since he has become someone else's hostage.
Thinking back to Xu Zhe's promise to her, it was like taking a magic pill. Wu Qian also unexpectedly forgot to be afraid of a guy like Yaqi who was terrifying in his bones.
"You know far less about him than you think. In your eyes, Xu Zhe is a symbol of justice, who protects human life and therefore has no mercy on us monsters." Wu Qian's words also reminded Yaqi of the past. He recalled the time on the bridge when Xu Zhe was wearing a domineering black armor, his hands were wrapped in blazing flames, and there was no hesitation about power on his face. Everything was so beautiful, so beautiful that he could truly feel a little fear from Xu Zhe. This was why he unconsciously wanted to kill him, "In fact, that wasn't the real Xu Zhe... He can kill more than just monsters.
In his way of thinking, anything that prevents him from moving forward is killable.
No matter whether it is a human, a demon or a god, as long as he feels that there is a sufficient reason, he will never pause in swinging the sword.
And you are the one who really confuses me..."
"Me?" Wu Qian didn't think she had that much power.
"It is your appearance that has made this sword that can kill billions of lives in the three realms become dull, and made his eyes lose their original sharpness. You made him hesitate and wander. It became 'ugly'." Yaqi seemed to be talking about a masterpiece of art. "To put it another way, you may be the scabbard of the sword named 'Xu Zhe'. That's why I took you away from him, so that he can keep his light forever."
Wu Qian didn't quite understand what was said, but she didn't have the chance to ask further questions because the road had come to an end.
A flat ancient land, blocked by dense trees, with only a little sunlight on the old stone bricks. Next to it, a simple shrine whose age has been forgotten has now become a spider's paradise. The only new thing is a black boulder standing in the middle of the flat land. The smooth surface looks like someone wipes it every day, without a trace of dust.
In front of the boulder, there were already two people waiting. One was an old man, with a hunched back and wrinkled face that looked like a mummy. His hands were behind his back and he had a trimmed goatee, which were his characteristics.
Next to her is a completely different beauty, her slender figure wrapped in black leather clothes, which makes her look even more curvy. Her long silver shawl highlights her special...
There was no change of emotion on her cold and beautiful face. She sat on a black cube box, listening quietly to the headphones.
"Yaki, you are late again. Thirteen minutes have passed." The old man with a serious face expressed his unhappiness.
"I can't help it. I just came back and I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet." Yaqi smiled apologetically, but he didn't mean to apologize sincerely. "Did you bring the things? Let's get started..."
"We have brought our things, but Lord Yaqi, it seems that you have brought a visitor who should not be here." He gently took off the earplugs and looked at Wu Qian behind Yaqi.
Just a glance, Wu Qian's whole body felt like an electric current was running through it, every cell was trembling, it was a bone-chilling cold.
"Do you need me to help you get rid of her? It will only take a moment." Ning said indifferently, as if she was talking to a bug.
"It is said that the 'Snow Girl' among the monsters is the nemesis of men. I didn't expect that you are also interested in killing women?" This sentence revealed Ning's true identity. This monster that was regarded as a surprise weapon by the Great Tengu was one of the few monsters that could even affect the weather. In terms of actual combat ability, some people even suspected that she was not inferior to the Great Tengu and the Yamata no Orochi King. But such a comparison would never happen, just because monsters like the Snow Girl had no interest in power, or she was not interested in anything
Yaqi just gave a look, and the boy understood what he meant and stepped forward, standing in front of Wu Qian.
"Old ghost, where are the other two committee members? Why don't you ask them to 'add to the fun' of such a grand occasion?" Yaqi looked around but did not find any of his allies.
"If possible, even you and I would not want to come here..." At this point, the old man's face showed a trace of helplessness, "The Longinus Spear is too strange. It can resonate with the surrounding spiritual energy. No matter if it is a human, a demon, or a tree...
According to the strength of the resonance between the two spirits, if I call the other two, I don’t want to see the collapse of the world. "
"This is interesting. Since you want to reduce the resonance to the minimum, why bother calling me? Isn't it enough for you alone?" Yaqi only felt that there was sarcasm in Daitengu's words.
"Although I want to minimize the resonance, unfortunately, the low spiritual power cannot trigger the power of the holy spear, nor can it break the seal of the killing stone. After being a big monster for so many years, this is the first time I admit that I can't even activate this strange spear by myself." Daitengu is a person who cares about face very much. It is more painful for him to admit his insignificance than to kill him. So Yaqi did not continue to sarcastically walk to the killing stone quietly, looking up at the huge spiritual stone that has been standing for a thousand years. All the waiting seems to be worth it at this moment.
"Take out the guns, it's time to let our Lord Nine-Tailed Fox breathe some fresh air..." Yaqi was also trembling slightly, out of excitement.
The Great Tengu signaled with his head and stepped aside tactfully, leaving the dark box under him exposed to the two great monsters.
"The box is made of titanium alloy and high-concentration lead, and is filled with the concentrated blood of a hundred virgins. However, it can only barely seal the spiritual energy of the Holy Spear and prevent it from leaking out more than a hundred meters away." While unbuttoning, Da Tengu opened a circular opening on the top of the box.
The old arm reached deep into the box, and when it was pulled out, the legendary holy spear was once again exposed to the air.
It was completely different from the state when it was condensed. The earth was shaking as well, and the air seemed to have instantly turned into a thousand-pound block, nearly suffocating people.
Among them, Wu Qian was the first to collapse. Due to the fragile human physique, she fell to the ground powerlessly, foaming at the mouth.
"Boy, open a dense barrier and don't let her die!" Yaqi's voice was extremely serious. It had to be serious. Wu Qian even started to roll her eyes.
Wu Qian was able to save her life by obediently setting up the transparent barrier. She lay on the cold ground, gasping for breath.
But the creatures around were not so lucky. All the birds and beasts within a thousand-meter radius fell to the ground and died, and even the flowers, plants and trees turned yellow and rotted in an instant.
The strong reaction led to tremendous power. Da Tengu's face was full of astonishment as he watched the Longinus spear in his hand change from the color of old steel to pure black, looking so ferocious that it seemed to be able to swallow up the world.
"It wants us to be its servants?" Daitengu was trembling.
"Stop joking, we are god-level demons!" Yaqi arrogantly grasped the short handle of the gun, but his face became serious in just a moment.
The guns were corroding the bodies of the two great demons, like invaders bullying a weak group.
"We can't delay any longer! If we go on, we'll be killed first!" The old man shouted with gritted teeth, looking extremely tired.
Yaqi was more practical than him. He exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the huge Killing Stone with a pistol in hand. The Great Tengu also followed him.
With the combined strength of the two demons, the tip of the spear, which could not be distinguished as holy or devil, pierced into the surface of the black stone. For the first time in a thousand years, something could hurt this killing stone in the slightest.
But the next movement seemed to be out of control...
The powerful recoil force ejected the two god-level figures several meters away, and they fell to the ground in a mess.
"What kind of weird weapon is it? It's even more domineering than a monster?!" Yaqi wasted his white suit.
"It's coming out! The deity in our demon world—the Nine-tailed Demon Fox..." Daitengu was trembling with excitement.
