The last one to return to the main hall was Ouyang Xiaoleng. At this time, the royal army in the hall had subdued the little demons under Qingyun with the help of Wangyue and others. He pushed aside the crowd to look for Xia Qiu, but the only one surrounded by everyone in the center was Ouyang Hongye, who was sitting on the ground and still hadn't recovered.
He only felt his heart sink, and everything in front of him was spinning. As expected, all his ominous premonitions were not groundless. Xia Qiu was still kidnapped by Qingyun's men. All they could do now was to stay in the main hall and wait for Qingyun to take advantage of him. What kind of deal does Xia Qiulai make with them
He guessed that she was safe for the time being, and Qingyun would soon send his men to negotiate with them. Sure enough, just a moment after they gathered with the four elephant stones, the Rakshasa mother suddenly came from the inside of the main hall. Flying out of the door.
She didn't even appear with her firearm in hand, but instead held up a paper fan and fanned it triumphantly over her chest. Then he flew over their heads, closed the fan and said, "Since you have gathered the Four Elephant Stones, why don't you quickly put them into the Four Elephant Horcruxes? What are you waiting for?"
"Tell me where you took Xia Qiu. Do you have any conspiracy or do you want to exchange her with us?" Qian Qi pointed at Rakshasa's mother with the jade cicada sword and yelled.
"There's no need for the son of the Dragon King to be so angry, right? Lord Qingyun didn't want to harm her, he just wanted to ask her to do a small favor. Only with her presence can Lord Qingyun have a good talk with your Demon King Fox. ." Mother Rakshasa opened her fan and fanned it a few more times, saying with a cunning look on her face.
"Qian Qi, let's listen to her first and put the Four Elephant Stones into the Four Elephant Horcruxes!" Ouyang Xiaoleng, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his head and said to the people around him, his tone no longer cold as usual. , but turned into an extreme loneliness and helplessness.
So the people who got the Four Elephant Stones followed Ouyang Xiaoleng's arrangement and placed the Four Elephant Stones in the notches on the side of the Four Elephant Horcrux corresponding to the four directions of the side hall. The Four-Elephant Horcrux first made a sound similar to that of a giant furnace, and then the lid on it automatically turned to one side. But there was no trace of the salamander inside, and all that was left was a pool of liquid and a piece of crystal. The translucent crystal had the pattern and luster of flames, and was just the size that one hand could hold.
"Hahahahaha, City Lord Salamander Salamander has been refined by the Four Elephants Horcrux into a real array material fire crystal. Look at how beautiful it is! Now, all I need is you, Demon King Fox, to take this fire crystal and go inside. The palace has exchanged your human contractor!" Mother Rakshasa said with a fan to cover her grinning mouth.
Ouyang Xiaoleng numbly obeyed the words of the Rakshasa Mother, first took out the fire crystal from the Four Elephant Horcrux, and then followed the direction she pointed towards the door leading to the inner hall.
"Everyone else should just wait here honestly, otherwise I can't guarantee whether Master Qingyun will do anything terrible to that human girl!" Luosha's mother saw that Lingyu and Qianqi were eager to try to talk to Ouyang Xiaoleng. He threatened as they entered the inner hall together, and then followed Ouyang Xiaoleng into the inner hall.
Behind the door, Qingyun, the demon that Ouyang Xiaoleng wanted to kill in his dreams, was standing in the distance. He finally saw him. He was wearing a green robe and a green tiger mask on his face. He was standing on the square platform in the middle of the circular inner hall, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time. There are candlesticks standing on each corner of the square platform, and next to Qingyun there is a shelf erected from the ground. The top of the shelf opens like a lotus, and when pressed it looks like a mechanism to place something.
The enemy who had seriously injured his grandfather, killed his parents and subverted the entire demon world was right in front of him, but he had no time to look at him at the moment. He just kept looking around the entire inner hall to look for Xia Qiu's figure.
"Welcome!" Qingyun said, his voice echoed under the vault of the inner hall, and he sounded much younger than expected.
"The fire crystal you want is here. Now you can return Xia Qiu to me!" Ouyang Xiaoleng raised the fire crystal and shook it in his direction.
"Haha, we haven't seen me for sixteen years. It's a reunion after a long absence. Don't you have anything to say to me? It seems that my guess is indeed correct. Your human contractor is so important to you. So important. You don't hesitate to put the entire demon world in danger! I think you are much more affectionate and righteous than your grandfather and your father, or is it because this girl used some magic to charm you?"
No emotion could be heard in Qingyun's tone. Although it contained no emotion, it was terrifyingly calm. He silently pointed his hand upward, and Ouyang Xiaolen looked in the direction of his finger. He had just noticed the object covered with black cloth hanging under the vault, and saw that the object suddenly began to slowly descend. , and finally fell to the ground. With a wave of Qingyun's hand, the demonic cyclone lifted off the black cloth, revealing a large golden cage inside, and lying in that cage was none other than Xia Qiu.
"Xia Qiu, can you hear me?" Ouyang Xiaoleng called to Xia Qiu in the cage.
Xia Qiu suddenly sat up, held the cage with both hands, looked at him and responded loudly: "Don't worry, I'm fine! Don't give him the fire crystal, he will use the array of strange formations to create the Demon King's Crown and open the Black Fire Purgatory!"
In fact, she had woken up before Ouyang Xiaoleng entered the inner hall. She just pretended to be comatose so that she could listen to the conversation between Qingyun and Yaksha. As expected, she heard the terrible truth about the Qi Lie Formation. It turns out that what Qingyun wanted to use the Qi Lie Formation to create was not a monster but the Demon King's Crown, because with it, he could open the Black Fire Purgatory and bring all the dark power inside under his control. And most importantly, he wanted to rescue someone extremely important to him from inside.
Qingyun didn't expect that this human girl would overhear his plan. He waved his hand angrily, and Xia Qiu felt an invisible force pinch her neck and lift her up. Her body slowly Hanging in the air, he began to have difficulty breathing, and his feet kept kicking in the air.
"If you kill her, you will never get the fire crystal again!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said as he raised the divine ice and made a gesture to throw the fire crystal to the ground and break it into pieces.
As expected, Qingyun let go of Xia Qiu when she saw it. She fell to the ground again and gasped. Seeing Qingyun reaching out to Ouyang Xiaoleng and calling him to come to her, she continued to shout to Ouyang Xiaoleng: "Don't believe him." If you let him open the Black Fire Purgatory, the three realms will face catastrophe!"
However, her voice could not make Ouyang Xiaoleng stop in any way. At this moment, she could hear nothing in the inner hall except his footsteps walking towards Qingyun. She seemed to understand the meaning of the stone demon's prediction. The only thing that could prevent Ouyang Xiaoleng from handing the fire crystal to Qingyun was her own death. As long as she was alive, Qingyun would use her as a threat to force Ouyang Xiaolian to Leng obeyed his words.
Everything Qingyun did before was to buy time, waiting for the moment when the fire crystal was refined. He fooled everyone in the royal city, so that even if they defeated the monster he created, they still had to spend all their time. The array of material fire crystals obtained through mental effort was handed over to his hands obediently.
This is where he is most cruel. He is like putting a beast in a cage and quietly watching how the fight between trapped beasts develops according to his settings. Perhaps the pleasure of being above everyone and trampling their dignity underfoot is what he is pursuing, but she will never give him such a chance. Because she understands the hatred between Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qingyun, and also understands his efforts to one day be able to lead the entire demon world to fight against Qingyun. How can she let him betray his world for herself
The plum blade had been thrown away somewhere since she was knocked unconscious by Yasha just now. At this moment, she could only summon it in her heart. She prayed that it could hear her voice and miraculously return to her hand.
"Mei Ren, do you hear me? I need your help!"
"Yes, my master." Although Mei Ren responded a little slower than usual, she still waited for her answer quickly.
"No matter where you are, please come back to me immediately."
Xia Qiu recited it silently over and over again, controlling her weapons with her thoughts. This was something she could not do before, because only a true demon can freely summon his own weapons across distances and spaces. But this time the plum blossom hairpin appeared in her hand out of thin air and quickly transformed into the pure black long knife.
Ouyang Xiaoleng was about to walk to Qingyun's side, and Qingyun had already impatiently stretched out a hand to catch the fire crystal he had been waiting for, but suddenly the smell of blood came from the air. He suddenly realized that he had ignored the girl in the cage beside him.
Xia Qiu had stabbed a long knife into his abdomen and fell in a pool of blood. Although he was still breathing weakly, he would definitely not survive for long. She used this method to make Qingyun lose his weight, and the transaction was automatically cancelled.
Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, but was interrupted by this girl, Qingyun rushed towards Ouyang Xiaoleng angrily and shouted: "Give it to me quickly!"
The smell of blood from Xia Qiu awakened the flower devil's blood in Ouyang Xiaoleng's body again. He held the fire crystal tightly with his left hand, quickly summoned Ye Shenbing with his right hand and swung his sword at Qingyun, and then ran to Xia Qiu's side.
He couldn't believe that she left him like this. Her body began to slowly become colder, and she couldn't even feel a trace of life. He used the Night God Ice to chop the cage that imprisoned her like crazy, but he couldn't cut it. its destruction. The heartbreaking pain and anger instantly caused the demon blood in his body to reach its limit. He turned to Qingyun, the murderer who caused this tragedy, and printed him in his blood-red pupils.
Qingyun felt the powerful demon power and demonic nature coming from Ouyang Xiaoleng's body. Since the place he was injured by Ouyang Xueye sixteen years ago had not yet healed, it would be disadvantageous for him to fight such a powerful opponent at this moment. Although his most important plan had been ruined, he understood the importance of leaving the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood, so he decided to retreat and think about countermeasures.
Being cunning, he had already laid out an escape route in the inner hall. He whistled, and the entire inner hall suddenly became filled with thick smoke. Ouyang Xiaoleng frantically waved the Night God Ice in his hand, trying to use his demon power to disperse the thick fog in front of him, but the thick fog in the hall became heavier and heavier.
When the thick fog finally dispersed, there was nothing left in the inner hall except the empty golden cage. Qingyun had already escaped and even took away Xia Qiu's body. This was something he came up with on the spur of the moment, because doing so would definitely cause Ouyang Xiaoleng to collapse completely. So even though the Qi Lie Formation plan failed, he was not a complete loser.
