A man who should be a puppet actually escaped!

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the straw hat?" Xin Youtao asked.

Mu Xingqiu couldn't think of a reason, so he looked up at a round hole above the snow room. Gan Zhiwei escaped from here and probably didn't run far.

"It's still time to chase after it now." Xin Youtao's hand showed a few paper talismans.

Mu Xingqiu reached out to stop him, "Let Zuo Liuying deal with it."

In order to prevent the snow cave from being discovered by the Taoist throne, Zuo Liuying cast a large number of bans, and Gan Zhiwei has destroyed part of it. If others cast spells to chase, it will only destroy the ban more seriously. Since Zuo Liuying has discovered that someone has escaped, there must be a way to catch him back.

Xiao Qingtao bent down to check on Gan Zhiquan, "He is still alive... and still breathe."

There were many Taoist priests standing on the passage outside, and only a few could squeeze in. One of them asked, "Why did Gan Zhiwei escape?"

No one could answer him. Mu Xingqiu still looked up at the snow cave. Suddenly he heard a slight sound. He spread his arms and signaled the people inside to get out of the way. Two Taoist priests dragged Gan Zhiquan to the wall.

Bang! A man fell out of the hole and sat on the ground with a confused look on his face. It was Gan Zhiwei who escaped.

Bang bang bang bang! Before someone could ask questions, three people fell out of the hole and smashed each other together. They all screamed in pain, then turned over and stood side by side, looking at Mu Xingqiu angrily. Only Gan Zhiwei was still sitting blankly, and she didn't feel any pain when she was pressed.

These three people are all Taoist priests who invaded the demons. Not long ago, they watched Mu Xingqiu use the method of extermination to Gan Zhiwei.

"Hongshan Wang Taiyu, Xingshan Pusheng, and Yashan Yao Xingye." Mu Xingqiu reported the names of the three people, glanced at them, and soon fell on Yao Xingye. He was one of the two smoke-swallowing Taoist priests here. Although he was not very talkative and never competed for power, he had many supporters around him.

Yao Xingye took a step forward and said loudly, "It's my idea. Since I've been caught, I'll recognize it, but--" He looked at the other Taoist priests behind Mu Xingqiu and said in a louder voice: "We are Taoist priests and have made contributions in the battle of Taoist demons. Why are we afraid of Taoist throne and hiding underground like rats? I don't believe Taoist throne will harm us. Friends, wake up, can the decades of Taoist throne and hundreds of years of cultivation be as good as the provocations of two abandoned disciples?"

The Taoists didn't say anything, and Xin Youtao said angrily: "You are right to expose everyone's whereabouts. Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying are not 'abandoned'. They voluntarily withdrew from Pangshan."

Yao Xingye was fearless, "Of course, when they withdrew from Pangshan, there was no sign of the demons returning soon, but what happened in recent times was beyond their expectations. Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying were afraid of being embarrassed. Therefore, they were so enthusiastic about helping us."

Yao Xingye obviously had a whole set of ideas, so he took another step forward and looked directly at Mu Xingqiu. "Do you dare to say that you are selfless in helping the Taoist priest in Demon Invasion? Do you dare to say that you are not trying to make meritorious service to return to the Taoist throne?"

Mu Xingqiu looked back at the other party and did not immediately argue. He wanted to hear what the Taoist priest could say. For him, the character changes of the Demon Invasion Taoist priest are quite interesting: Why do normal Taoist priests want to be ruthless and abandon desire? Because too many thoughts and suspicions will split the Taoist priest, which will affect the calm practice. However, this also brings an inevitable consequence. When the division really occurs, even if it is the smallest division, the Taoist priest will become panicked and even helpless.

Yao Xingye is a Taoist priest who swallows the smoke. The chances of becoming a high Taoist priest are higher than those of others. All the emotions he shows now may be the underworld hidden in the hearts of the Taoist priests.

Yao Xingye didn't know what Mu Xingqiu was thinking, but felt that he was doing the right thing, so right that he could give his life. He looked at other Taoists, "The Taoist fire is not extinguished, and the Taoist priests are never afraid of death, and they will not hide. Friends, don't go further and further along the road, take advantage of the opportunity to turn around. I have sent a spell to the ground. If the Taoist priest is really following fellow Taoist Zhou Qianhui, he will definitely find my spell."

"You're crazy!" Xin Youtao said in surprise, "The Taoist throne wants to kill us all."

"That was just Zuo Liuying's words. He wanted to scare us with fear, control us, and let us be the living dead for Mu Xingqiu."

"You, you... are he insidious?" Xin Youtao asked Mu Xingqiu. Yao Xingye's performance was a bit abnormal.

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "He is not a demon."

Mu Xingqiu could not detect the demonic thoughts directly like Zuo Liuying, but he could feel it that Yao Xingye's voice trembled slightly, his eyes were overly excited, and he kept sweeping around, looking for supporters among the demon-invading Taoist priests, which showed that he was not firmly convinced of his words. A true demon-invading Taoist priest is much more confident than this.

Xin Youtao shook his head secretly, thinking that no matter whether it is true or false, it is the most convenient thing to just give Yao Xingye a crime of being possessed by the devil.

Yao Xingye's answer to Mu Xingqiu was also a little surprised, but he was eager to convince everyone and continued to shout: "We are all Taoist priests who were invaded by demons. Death is inevitable. If the Taoist throne really wants to kill us, there must be a reason. I will never hide. Who is willing to follow me..."

"The Taoist priest is also afraid of death." A voice interrupted Yao Xingye.

Gan Zhiwei, who had been sitting on the ground, stood up, walked to his brother to check his situation, and turned to look at Yao Xingye.

"What did you say?" Yao Xingye asked sternly.

"I said Taoist priests are also afraid of death." Gan Zhiwei said calmly, "I am afraid of death, you are also afraid of death. Everyone is afraid of death. There is nothing to be ashamed to admit. If you want to dedicate me to Taoist dynasty as evidence of Mu Xingqiu's transformation into a demon, you just hope Taoist dynasty can open your mind."

Yao Xingye's face turned red. He and two other Taoist priests took Gan Zhiwei away when he just woke up. He did hide his hope of making contributions to the Taoist throne. However, Gan Zhiwei said this, it seemed that he was greedy for life and fearing death.

Yao Xingye did not argue with Gan Zhiwei, but took two steps back and pointed at Mu Xingqiu, "It's you, you control Gan Zhiwei and turn him into your lackey. If you say these words, Zuo Liuying hides it for you, but other Taoist priests can see the flaws at a glance, so you stop us from seeing the Taoist throne!"

"Idiot!" Xin Youtao couldn't help it even more, "You can't even figure out whether the Taoist throne wants to kill you or save you, and you are still saying so shameless."

"Either kill us now or let us go out immediately. I would rather be with fellow Daoist Zhou Qianhui." Yao Xingye said coldly. A Hongshan Taoist priest Wang Taiyu and Xingshan Taoist Pu Sheng who were trying to escape came over and stood side by side with him.

"You didn't say that you thought you would have to implicate everyone now?" Xin Youtao said angrily. Even if you just let a Taoist priest go, it would make the hiding place arranged by Zuo Liuying invalid.

Yao Xingye and the other two ignored Xin Youtao and stared at Mu Xingqiu.

Mu Xingqiu raised his right hand, and the black whip slowly stretched out from his cuffs, and a foot-long lightning bolt shook at the end.

Yao Xingye and the other two changed their faces slightly. They were not as brave as they claimed. Although there was a smoke-swallowing Taoist among them, they had heard of Mu Xingqiu's strength and had seen it. They knew that once he cast a spell, he would definitely not be his opponent.

Without the firm heart of Taoist priests, they can no longer die calmly like ordinary Taoist priests.

"The Dao Fire is not extinguished." Yao Xingye's voice trembled even more, but he had no regrets.

Wang Taiyu and Pu Sheng did not speak, but summoned their main magic weapon and prepared to fight to the death.

The other Taoist priests all moved aside. No matter who they supported in their hearts, they did not want to say it at this time.

"The Dao Fire is not extinguished." Mu Xingqiu said solemnly that he was sincere. These four words have many meanings and have ignited the flame in his heart again and again. Even if the Taoist dynasty is changing his face, this sentence will never change.

Lightning surged into the sky. The target was not the three Taoist priests on the opposite side, but the hole above the head. The lightning suddenly grew, like a stream of magma that had been suppressed underground for a long time. It broke through dozens of feet thick ice and snow.

Everyone was shocked, especially Yao Xingye and the other three, who stared at Mu Xingqiu blankly, and his face turned red and white.

These three people destroyed Zuo Liuying's ban, which may have attracted the attention of Taoism. Mu Xingqiu felt that killing them at this time would be useless.

The lightning disappeared, the whip returned to the sleeve, and a beam of sunlight shone into the snow cave, and it was already dawn outside.

"Everyone has a choice." Mu Xingqiu turned around and faced the other Taoist priests, and his voice continued along the snow cave. "Maybe you prefer the stability and depth of Taoism, so let's choose. Leave here to find Taoism, no one stops you. I have chosen my own path, but I will not force anyone to follow me."

Yao Xingye wanted to sneer. In his opinion, the existence of the Gan brothers was the greatest irony to Mu Xingqiu, but what he made was just a vague cough, like there was phlegm in his throat but he didn't spit it out.

"You really let us go?" Yao Xingye couldn't control the trembling in his voice.

Mu Xingqiu moved aside, "Anyone who wants to leave can leave, but please be responsible for your choices. I will not allow you to make any decisions about the people left behind."

Yao Xingye waved his hand to signal Wang Taiyu and Pu Sheng to leave first. The two of them cast spells and flew out of the hole one after another. Perhaps because they were a little panicked and hit a large piece of ice and snow debris.

Yao Xingye looked at the other Taoist priests and wanted to make a few more words, but he couldn't say it when he spoke. He wanted to leave quickly. This desire was so strong that he felt that every word was a waste of time.

The Swallowing Taoist flew away.

Mu Xingqiu said to Xin Youtao, Xiao Qingtao and Xiao Hao in the snow room: "You three should go too. This is no longer a journey of saving people, but an escape. You should not participate."

Xiao Qingtao was confused and showed a look of surprise on his face, while Xin Youtao showed some guilt. He once said that he hoped to let Xiao Qingtao leave, "We...we are not in a hurry..."

"After the escape began, I couldn't let anyone go." Mu Xingqiu smiled, "We are still friends, and your help to me may be greater when you return to the Taoist throne."

At first, other Taoist priests chose to leave. Some left without saying a word, and some officially said goodbye to Mu Xingqiu. Every time one more Taoist priest passed away, the remaining people's faces became even more hesitant.

Xin Youtao looked at Xiao Qingtao and finally made a decision, "You go, I will stay. Like Mu Xingqiu, I am also the one who withdrew from Pangshan."

Xiao Qingtao ignored him, his face slightly darkened, and said to Mu Xingqiu: "You said everyone has a choice, but even though you know that going out is a dead end, you still let them leave. Is this also a choice?"

"What they chose is not death, but a way of death." Mu Xingqiu said.
