Su Yun continued searching in the dark and found a few more Qingyu Towns, but most of them were still gloating over other people's misfortune.
Finally, Su Yun found Qingyu Town where Yinglong lived. He did not go in, but just took a look from a distance.
"If no one comes to rescue Brother Yinglong, then I will do it!"
Su Yun began to return the same way.
Perhaps there is a more convenient way in the darkness, but returning the original route is his greatest ability. What he is best at is memory. In the past few days, he has clearly memorized the route he will take.
"I can even remember the Tianmen Ghost Market after visiting it once, let alone this place?"
On the third day after the three-legged golden crow descended to disturb the imperial palace, Yu Daoyuan returned to Xingdu. The governor of Xingdu County hurried to see him. Yu Daoyuan still looked a little unhappy, and it was obvious that his injuries had not healed yet.
The Xingdu County Magistrate said, "Master Imperial Master, the demon god has been silent in the Imperial Palace for the past few days, and even the flames have gradually subsided. But the Imperial Palace is still full of dangers. I ordered my soldiers to investigate, and they said that there is no Golden Crow there, only a three-legged man. There have been changes in the past two days."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "The three-legged man is gone, and there is a hunchbacked man with a cane. The bird's nest has also been transformed. It looks peaceful. The dead soldiers even found spiritual medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum on the way."
"Hunchback man? Doesn't he have three legs? Humph, the demon is causing trouble and confusing everyone!"
Yu Daoyuan said calmly: "Don't worry, even if this demon god changes in many ways, he can't escape the law of nature. I will bring back someone who specializes in demon subduing."
The Xingdu County Magistrate's heart skipped a beat: "Even the Imperial Master was injured. Could it be that this demon-slayer is even more powerful than the Imperial Master? Could it be the Sword Pavilion Saint or the Martial Saint?"
He didn't dare to ask more. Jiange Yue Liuxi and Wusheng Jiang Zushi, these two saints were already like national treasures. If they came in person, they would definitely not remain unknown.
Yu Daoyuan said: "Now, they should have arrived at the Imperial Palace."
The governor of Xingdu County was shocked. At this moment, he sensed a terrifying aura like that of gods and demons coming from the direction of the imperial palace.
In the Imperial Palace, there was a bird's nest made of blue rainbow and golden straw. Three tall figures shrouded in black robes were walking towards the bird's nest.
"Fellow Daoist Jinwu, we finally meet again after four thousand five hundred years."
A woman's voice came from under the black robe on the left, and she said with a smile: "I heard that there were ten brothers of yours in the East, and they dominated the East, but nine of them were shot dead by Saint Emperor Yi. Only you escaped and fled to Tianshiyuan, and dared not return to the East. Today, you are free from trouble. Tianzun invites you to discuss important matters. Once the great cause is accomplished, not only will you avenge your hatred, but you will also transcend life and death and return to the fairyland!"
The three of them came to the bird's nest, but no one answered.
The three of them frowned. A man's voice came from the black robe on the right, saying coldly: "Jinwu, why are you so arrogant? I know Yinglong is hiding in your host. If you hand him over, Tianzun will definitely not treat you unfairly! You are alone now, so you'd better submit to Tianzun to avoid suffering!"
At this time, a lazy voice came from the bird's nest: "The little bird has gone back a long time ago. You are a step too late. You don't have to look for him. The little bird has no good or evil in these years. His realm is detached and he will no longer be involved with you."
The three of them looked and saw an old, hunchbacked boy in the bird's nest, leaning on a cane.
The man in the black robe on the right suddenly opened his robe and laughed, "Who am I to play tricks on? It turns out to be Pavilion Master Su Yunsu from Yuan Shuo!"
The voice of the person who spoke was the same as Tai Sui. It was Tai Sui's real body that came. He fought a fierce battle with Ying Long, and both were injured. Because Ying Long was already at the end of his strength, he could not kill him, and he escaped.
His body structure is very different from other gods and demons, and he recovers extremely quickly, so he recovers early.
This time, when he heard that the demon god Jinwu, who had wreaked havoc on the world 4,500 years ago, had been born, he could not help but set off.
The old, hunchbacked boy looked like Su Yun, but his eyes were blurry and he didn't look very energetic. He laughed and said, "Junliang, you got the wrong person. In the ancient times, I was the one who came out of the water with the Luoshu on my back to spread the magic of civilization. After I retired, you all came into the world one after another."
Tai Sui's heart was slightly shaken: "Xuanwu?"
Behind the old and hunchbacked Su Yun, a terrifying scene appeared, showing a dragon turtle stepping on the water, carrying the Luoshu on its back, and with the Teng Snake astrology entwined on the Luoshu!
"The River Map and the Luoshu are nothing more than the earliest numerology runes!"
The black-robed person on the left lifted up his black robe, revealing a bird-headed human body. The chest was bulging. It was a woman. She sneered and said, "Younger Garuda, meet Xuanwu! Xuanwu, you should know the law of nature, and today the law belongs to Tianzun. If you hand over Yinglong and submit to Tianzun, you can still survive. If you don't, you will be sacrificed with blood!"
Hunchback Su Yun chuckled and said, "Tianzun? Who gave you the title? Ever since the demons were suppressed and the gods retired to the Northern Crown Great Wall, I didn't expect that all of you demons and ghosts would come out and give yourselves the title of Tianzun!"
Garuda and Tai Sui, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards the bird's nest brazenly: "Old turtle, you are stubborn and unyielding, so let's sacrifice your blood!"
Hunchback Su Yun was not afraid at all. He held a cane in his hand, with the Teng Snake Luo Shu hanging in the sky behind him. He smiled and said, "Blood sacrifice to me? Come and try it!"
…
Garuda and Tai Sui attacked the hunchbacked Su Yun. As soon as they started fighting, they found that the opponent's magical power was like the Northern Crown Great Wall, thick and broad, and they could not break into it at all.
This time they came to target the three-legged Golden Crow. Among the three people selected, Garuda would use his speed to hold the Golden Crow back, Tai Sui would use his thick skin to block the Golden Crow's attack, and the other one would subdue or kill the Golden Crow.
However, unexpectedly, the opponent was not Jinwu, but Xuanwu, a being with even thicker skin and flesh than Tai Sui!
Behind the hunchback Su Yun, a strange image of Black Tortoise formed, with Teng Snake dancing and Black Tortoise attacking, killing the two demon gods so much that they were out of breath and could hardly get close.
The black-robed man in the middle remained motionless, with a dim gaze, watching every move of the hunchbacked Su Yun.
Suddenly, the man in black robe opened his black robe, his body swelled up, and the corpse aura filled the air. He turned into a giant standing tall, with an overwhelming force. He punched into the Teng Snake constellation and shattered it!
Hunchback Su Yun was startled and used his spiritual power to fight him, but the corpse aura of the giant became heavier and heavier, polluting his spiritual power and making his strength lower and lower.
Garuda and Tai Sui saw an opportunity and attacked from both sides. The hunchback Su Yun retreated hastily, with a surging sea under his feet. He retreated while fighting with the three men.
"I can't beat you! Come and change people!"
Hunchback Su Yun turned and ran, riding the water and roaring away. Behind him, Garuda chased him, grabbed his head, and sneered: "Change people? Today you can't get any help from heaven or earth..."
“Here it comes! Here it comes!”
Suddenly, the hunchbacked Su Yun's back was no longer hunched, nor did he look old. He grew deer horns, a horse body, and dragon claws. He stepped on Garuda and kicked the woman in the chest. He turned around and punched Tai Sui in the face, laughing: "It's my turn to play! I'm not going to save the big fool!"
Tai Sui's face was blasted through by him, but the flesh on his face quickly climbed up his arms, and soon the flesh wrapped around him. He shouted, "I caught him!"
A blazing holy fire ignited around the Qilin Su Yun, which cooked the Tai Sui wrapped around his body. Upon seeing this, the other parts of Tai Sui quickly cut off their flesh and fled.
However, the giant corpse's attack made Qilin Su Yun feel very troubled, so he started to fight against it seriously.
The governor of Xingdu County and a group of scholars from the imperial palace quickly brought Yu Daoyuan to a high place. From afar, they saw the sky twisted and four huge air columns formed by the vital energy of heaven and earth rolled in, forming four magnificent cave visions.
The strange cave-sky phenomenon was not the cave-sky of the spiritualist in the Yunling Realm. For the spiritualist in the Yunling Realm, the cave-sky appeared in their spiritual world. The size of the cave-sky depended on their respective comprehension and cultivation.
However, the cave heaven that appeared in the sky was a real cave heaven. The vital energy of heaven and earth with different attributes surged in, and the amount of vital energy was terrifying!
That is the majestic power that only gods and demons can mobilize!
Under the gas column formed by the four kinds of heaven and earth energies, four gods and demons fought each other, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, making everyone in Xingdu change color.
Suddenly, one of the kinds of heaven and earth vital energy changed abruptly and turned into heaven and earth vital energy of another attribute, which shocked Yu Daoyuan.
"A new kind of god or demon!"
Su Yun was tired of killing the Qilin, and another evil spirit flew out from Su Yun's spiritual world. He said excitedly: "It's my turn! It's my turn! Don't rush me! I haven't started yet!"
…
Su Yun's soul sped along the way, not knowing how long he had walked in the darkness. Finally, relying on his powerful memory, he returned to the rune wall along the original route.
If there is light ahead, the passage of the rune wall is very narrow at first, but after walking a hundred steps or so, it suddenly becomes clear.
Su Yun was suddenly stunned, and saw that his spiritual world was filled with gods of all sizes, including Chongming, Bifang, Jinhou, Kuilong, Xiezhi, etc., all of whom were the gods he had visited a few days ago!
Su Yun even saw the Golden Crow sleeping with its head tucked into its wings. It was also in his spiritual world at that moment.
These sacred beings waited eagerly, watching the battle outside. From time to time, someone would shout in excitement, "It's my turn! It's my turn!"
Then he took over Su Yun's body, drawing the vitality of heaven and earth and the three gods and demons.
The other gods were impatiently waiting for their chance to play.
At this time, Su Yun saw Qilin coming down. Qilin also caught a glimpse of him and was about to drill into the rune wall. Su Yun hurriedly opened his arms to stop it.
"We are not rescuing Yinglong."
Qilin and the other gods shook their heads together: "No, absolutely not! It's useless even if you take out Yinglong's horn, he doesn't have such a big face."
"His face is indeed very big, but we are not here to save him." Kaiming Shendao.
"That's right!" They all nodded.
Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then he bowed deeply to the ground and said sincerely, "On behalf of Brother Yinglong, I would like to thank you all for your help!"
"I don't need your thanks, jailer!"
Qilin walked into the crack of the rune wall and turned back to say, "Let the bird take care of the final battle."
The other divine shares disappeared like a wall of runes.
The Golden Crow controlled Su Yun's physical body, and killed Tai Sui, Garuda and the giant corpse so badly that they kept retreating, and even retreated all the way back to Xingdu from outside the city for thousands of miles!
The three demon gods originally had the upper hand, but unexpectedly, when one of the opponents got tired or his moves were figured out by others, they would immediately take over as another god or demon, full of energy, causing them to be under increasing pressure and suffer more and more injuries.
By the end of the battle, defeat was inevitable, so it was only natural that the Three-legged Golden Crow would come back.
The three demon gods looked at each other, then suddenly split into three directions, whizzed away, and disappeared without a trace.
The three-legged golden crow spread its wings and slowly descended, landing back in the imperial palace.
The imperial scholars and county magistrates of Xingdu looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
"Little boy, your body is in your hands."
In the spirit world, the three-legged crow squeezed into the rune wall, and suddenly woke up. It turned back and said kindly: "You may... well, you may lie there unable to move, and it will probably take a while. But don't worry, I have built a bird's nest for you, you can rest there peacefully, and most likely no one will disturb you."
Su Yun was suspicious.
After the Golden Crow disappeared in the rune wall, Su Yun finally gained control of his body. Before he could rejoice, suddenly all his limbs and muscles began to ache. Not only was it painful, but it was also terribly sore!
His body was possessed by more than a dozen gods and demons in turn, changing into various forms, and fighting with the three great demon gods. Those gods and demons could not feel anything, after all, it was not their own bodies. However, Su Yun felt clearly what it meant that there is no field that can be plowed but an ox can be worked to death!
“Plop!”
The boy fell into the bird's nest, unable to move. Suddenly, his legs twitched twice and then straightened up.
"It hurts so much—" A shrill voice came from the imperial palace.
For the next three days, no one dared to enter the imperial palace.
On the fourth day, the county magistrate sent out his death squad, who came to the imperial palace trembling with fear. Yu Daoyuan followed from a distance behind, but saw that the bird's nest had been demolished and a young man limped out of the imperial palace.
"Zhang San!" One of the assassins, who was a scholar from the imperial palace, shouted in shock.
"Let him go!" Yu Daoyuan's eyes twitched violently and he said in a deep voice.
