Chapter 470 Magic Fruit
Yaoshan Pass.
The dragon king Yin Shengqian stood at the top of the tree tower, his legs were tightly wrapped by green branches and vines, as if they were growing together. He was enduring severe pain, but he was still unwilling to accept it and shouted at the giant demon king who was high above.
"Wake up, the giant demon king! You can't fight against the Taoist throne by yourself. You sacrificed hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and in the end you just helped the Taoist throne with a big help... Woo woo."
What was spit out from Yin Shengqian's mouth was no longer a language, but a rapidly growing branch. Then, fresh tree buds emerged in his ears, nostrils and hair. He could no longer speak, and his whole body shook violently. After a moment, he revealed his true form - a dragon covered in iron-green scales.
The iron-bone dragon grew in the wind and quickly surpassed the tree tower. Its snake-like body twisted upwards. The dragon's mouth opened with force and its long tongue hanging outside, like a tired dog, with its tilted fangs like daggers inserted at will. Its gray belly was covered with black and brown spots, and it slid violently, causing the scales on its body to shine with cold light.
The night was already dark, and the green light emitted by the demon fire towers around it was even brighter, giving the dragon a strange color.
The dragon head quickly surpassed the position where Qi Wushang stood, and then it grew taller and stopped before it became more rectangular. The dragon's body bent and its head hung slightly lower than the giant demon king. The sudden red eyes showed ruthlessness and dullness at the same time, like a vicious dog who had been bound by chains since childhood and had never known what it was to run freely.
"You think I'm wrong, just because you don't know anything. You are a stupid and arrogant dragon. You are not worthy of becoming a strong man in the demon clan. Lead your tribe to the battlefield, regardless of age or young, all living dragons must go. Leave the dragon eggs behind. Go kill and bleed, and never stop until death."
"Don't die." The Dragon King repeated, suddenly soaring into the sky, and his long body was like a river flowing against the trend. It took a while to completely disappear, leaving a strong smell of fishy sea water that would not dissipate for a long time.
Qi Wushang turned around and looked at the guest. His waist and back actually stood up a little.
"Demon seed." Mu Xingqiu recognized it. Qi Wushang's fire eyes and the tree tower were hidden.
"You are not unfamiliar with the demon seed." Qi Wushang's voice was as weak as an old man in his twilight years.
Mu Xingqiu decided to take action at this moment. Although he still had many doubts that were not answered, there was no need to waste time on this. Qi Wushang was the source of everything, and killing him could make things simple.
The giant demon king would not carelessly make an enemy so close to him. But Mu Xingqiu still has to try it. He always has a little doubt about the results of simple inference and has to try it. Since the demon seed needs his body, he has a little bit of presumptuousness.
The lightning created by the seventh layer of illusion disappeared as soon as it drilled out of his cuffs. It was only a few inches long. To be precise, the form of lightning disappeared. The magic power emitted by Mu Xingqiu was still there, but it deviated from his wishes. It did not attack Qi Wushang, which was several steps away, but it quickly poured into the ground outside the tower.
Mu Xingqiu finally reacted quickly and forcibly stopped the spell.
"Be careful." Qi Wushang said. He didn't care about the assassination against him. "It's not the time to wake him up. Here, only the magic seeds can cast spells."
The Amber Taoist Magistrate Meng Yuanhou hid deep underground and was absorbing all the power. Mu Xingqiu leaned forward and looked down. The tree tower had returned to normal, and the tender branches swayed gently. He looked weak and powerless, but it was the only one that withstanded the amber Taoist's power, grew up stubbornly, and even supported a large area of demon tower nearby.
"Why is this?" Mu Xingqiu regained his peaceful state and hid all his hatred and urgency in his heart. This was not the time when they needed them to emerge. He had to figure out what was going on.
"Why can the demon seed grow within the power range of the Amber Taoist priest? I don't know, I only discovered this phenomenon nearly a year ago."
Qi Wushang walked slowly towards the throne, and the brown deer followed him step by step. Mu Xingqiu followed more than ten steps away, listening to Qi Wushang's explanation while pondering the situation in front of him. Not only the difficulties he faced, but also the Taoist Yashan in the mountains to the east, the battlefield of the demon capital two hundred miles away in the south, and Zuo Liuying and others who went to Furong Mountain to find a bald man. These things are related to each other, which doubled all the difficulties.
"The Old Ancestor Peak won a lot of rewards in the battle with the demon clan six years ago." Qi Wushang said in a hurry. He said that he wanted to end things quickly, but now he seemed to have changed his mind. "Hundreds of inner alchemy, more than fifty complete corpses, ten living Taoist priests, and a large piece of amber. The inner alchemy was used on the Demon Fire Mountain, and there was not much left. Fortunately, it was not all used up. When Lan Binggu came to seek cooperation, I had something to show."
Qi Wushang took out a half-blue and half-red apple from his wide sleeves and ate it elegantly.
"We only discovered the Amber Taoist Priest after occupying the Ancestor Peak for a year. At that time, I was terrified. The demon clan was completely defeated, and Yi Shijun disappeared. Without his help, the magicians could not create demonic weapons that could fight against the Taoist unification. The fire-eyed demon pill given to me made me unable to fall asleep. Every moment I was worried about the attack of the Taoist unification, and tossed the corpses and Taoist priests with the magicians, hoping to find a way to save themselves, and even put their hopes on the servants of Yi Shijun, although I knew very well that they were just a group of unconscious liars."
"Groups of demons still came to join me, endlessly, and I don't know how scared I was at that time. They believed that I could create miracles again. The Taoist throne has never come, and the demons believe me even more. I know the Taoist scheming. You are waiting, and when all the demon elites gathered by me, we will solve it completely. But I cannot tell any demons about the Taoist scheming and my weakness. That will make them escape from me, and the demons return to a state of fragmentation. After half of my life's efforts, all the suffering I suffered will become meaningless."
Qi Wushang gently stroked the brown deer's back, revealing a hint of tenderness.
"At this moment, the ancient god gave me the Amber Taoist Priest. As soon as the twenty-one magicians discovered the Amber Taoist Priest, they had been absorbed with all their demonic power and became a pile of useless flesh and blood. The unclean aura I finally drew from the land of the demons was also sucked away a large area. But I immediately understood that this was not a punishment, but a reward. The ancient god rewarded me, facing the Taoist tradition, I finally had something to rely on."
"This is a strange reward. The ancient god gave me a powerful weapon, but refused to give me a way to manipulate it. If this continues, the entire demon army will be absorbed by the Amber Taoist Priest. I tried various means all night and day, and sacrificed thousands of demon soldiers and more than 30 magicians. The effect was not great. I just dug a big pit and hid the Amber Taoist Priest. But my hard work was not in vain, and the ten Taoist Priests brought me surprises."
"The ten Taoist prisoners were tortured crazy in the first month. Later, they were killed two more. I regarded this as a revenge against the Taoist throne. I never thought they were so important. It was the most useless Taoist priest, who didn't even have an inner alchemy. He was turned into a madman by the Taoist priest long before the demon race took action. He actually withstood countless attacks of magic. Of course, we didn't want to kill him, and we always stopped. But there were still two Taoist priests who died, but he did not die, and became more and more crazy. They began to talk about the demon seeds frequently. This was a reminder, but I didn't wake up for a long time."
Mu Xingqiu was listening quietly, and then he said, "You have recovered Shen Jun's devil's thoughts."
Demonic thoughts are something unique to Taoist priests. Its relationship with demon seeds is like bones and dogs, pollen and bees. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can attract the arrival of demon seeds.
"Well, the demon race doesn't understand the idea of demons. So at first I didn't understand its importance until more than a year ago. The demon seed came and brought everything I was looking forward to day and night. The demon thoughts attracted the demon seeds, but they could not keep it. After the mad Taoist priests came into contact with the demon seeds, they were infected with the demons, but they soon became weak. If they all died, the demon thoughts would disappear, so I transferred the demon seeds to the demon race. The demons were originally a family, and I thought this would be a good idea. But the first thing the demon seeds did when they entered the demon race was to kill him and absorb the demon power therein, but they were always unable to eat enough, and they could not even communicate with me."
"I had to make a choice, so I led the demon seed to the Amber Taoist priest."
A smile appeared on Qi Wushang's aging face. It was his proud move, a stroke of divine origin. "I thought I would lose one of them, but the result was that they would benefit each other!"
"The Taoist priests and the demon seeds actually complement each other, which is even more harmonious than the relationship between the demon race and the demon seeds. The mad priests gradually increased, and I was all led to the near of the Amber Taoist priests. Without care, they took root and sprouted on their own, and grew five trees, and grew to three feet high in one year, forming that tree tower. The power of the Amber Taoist priests is not so domineering. I can even build a large number of demon towers on the ground, but each tower must be guarded by monsters."
When Qi Wushang watched the demon seed gradually grow with joy, what was Taoist doing? Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but think that at that time he was practicing in seclusion in Luanjing Mountain, the lower Taoist priests were busy forming the demon-slaying association, and the higher Taoist priests were more concerned about the whereabouts of their souls. No one was in a hurry, and they didn't even bother to inquire about the situation inside the demon clan.
Even if there is a misunderstanding of the patience of the Taoist dynasty, everyone firmly believes that victory will ultimately belong to the Taoist dynasty, and the threat of the demon clan is far a hundred years or a thousand years later.
"The Taoist sect finally started to take action, and I felt like a disaster was coming again, but this time the ancient god did not test me for too long. A month ago, the demon trees bloomed and three days later, each tree had one, with five fruits in total. The power of the demon race they could bring would not kill the sojourned ones. In this way, I was able to communicate directly with the demon race for the first time. They told me many things, the most important thing is that they are not strong enough and require a lot of blood and energy. The demon race alone is not enough, and there must be humans and Taoists. You know the rest. Yin Shengqian told you that he used to only see the surface of the plan, but did not know the existence of the demon race, and thought it was a plan that was doomed to fail. Now he understood, and was persuaded by the demon race and voluntarily led the tribe to death."
That was not persuasion and voluntariness, but control and coercion. Mu Xingqiu saw the shadow of the illusion of Minxin, "Who have you given the five magic fruits?"
"The magic fruit is still very picky. One is given to eight mad Taoists. They will eat it with them and will be invincible in the battlefield, creating a large number of human and Taoist corpses; one is given to my most powerful 14 magicians, and they will guide the demon tower to disperse the power of the sword washing pool and give the Amber Taoist priest a chance to absorb it calmly; one is given to myself and strengthen my fire-eyed demon pill, which is the reward I deserve; one is given to the head named Mu Songxuan, and there was a small piece of demon seed in his mind, and a few drops of water from the sword washing pool. Through him, I can control the sword washing pool and get another treasure."
Four magic fruits were all there to go. Qi Wushang stretched out his thin palm, holding the last one in his palm, the bright red round fruit, slightly smaller than an ordinary egg.
"This one is for you, you are the only designated target of residence for the Demon Seed."
