In an instant!
Light suddenly appeared and illuminated the sky.
Even the fog was dispelled, as if a path to the underworld had been opened.
"Who won?"
Zhang Ming, Xu Qiuqing, and Liu Xiaodie all stared at the stunning battle in the air.
The sword light was sharp and sharp, slashing everything!
The thunder was extremely strong, and it could exterminate evil and destroy gods!
These two were the most overbearing forces that cultivators could control, and now they collided.
One could imagine how powerful it was.
In an instant, the sword light was like a dragon, stirring the sea of lightning and cutting through the fog, heading straight for Meng Shentong.
pfff ~
Blood splattered everywhere.
Meng Shentong's glabella was pierced through, and he lost his life force as he fell.
"Hu ~"
When they saw this scene, Zhang Ming and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief.
However!
The moment Meng Shentong's corpse fell.
Snake, who had been beaten half to death by him, sensed the ancient aura and immortal true blood contained in the blood. His snake eyes glowed.
Kun Peng True Blood!
It really was the true blood of the Kun Peng.
As long as he devoured this drop of true blood and escaped, he could turn into a dragon.
Thinking of this, Hui revealed greed in her eyes. She gathered the remaining demonic energy in her body and flew into the sky, opening her mouth to devour Meng Shentong's corpse.
Zhou Ze's eyes widened." Snake demon, how dare you steal my things? You're courting death!"”
He did not move.
However, a living being wrapped in light rushed out of his body.
Little Kun Peng cub!
After connecting the Xuanhuang Celestial Bridge, the baby Kun Peng could leave its body.
The moment it appeared in the world, the holy bloodline power in its body instantly suppressed Hui, making it feel fear and horror that originated from its soul.
The Kun Peng was extremely fast.
The little Kun Peng flapped its tender wings, but its speed was still not something Zhang Ming could catch.
It only lightly touched Meng Shentong's corpse.
The drop of true, immortal Kun Peng true blood that was scattered around his body condensed and was swallowed by the little Kun Peng.
Then…
The little Kun Peng turned into a beam of light and entered Hui. A devouring power absorbed all of its Essence Qi and Blood Essence.
According to the legends, in the ancient era where the Kun Peng lineage lived, this sacred creature ate other creatures as food and eventually reached the supreme level. It was listed as one of the supreme innate divine beings.
To the baby Kun Peng, eating the venomous snake was just an instinct that was engraved in its bloodline.
Transforming his body with endless Essence Qi.
When the baby Kun Peng returned to Zhou Ze's dantian, its life essence was dissipating. It was glowing like a divine herb.
The essence qi returned to Zhou Ze's body.
His cultivation continued to increase.
However!
Just as Zhou Ze had killed Hui Snake!
The village began to undergo an incomprehensible change.
The fog that shrouded Xinglin Village gradually dispersed, and the cold and gloomy feeling was slowly dispelled.
"Hmm?"
"What happened?"
Zhang Ming was inexplicably surprised, and the smile on his face froze. He was unaware of this change.
He, Xu Qiuqing, and Liu Xiaodie were on high alert, protecting Yu Youwei, who didn't have any cultivation at all.
Zhou Ze restrained his aura and the sword intent that was slowly forming. He landed on the ground with his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
"Don't be surprised. This is the true side of Xinglin Village! Everything we saw before was an illusion.”
Zhou Ze shook his head and sighed. There was a hint of sadness in his voice.
At first, Xu Qiuqing and the others did not understand what he was saying.
But immediately after!
Their eyes were filled with shock and sadness. They looked around at the fog that was gradually dissipating and were silent for a long time.
The originally quiet and peaceful Xinglin Village.
In an instant, it was completely exposed to their sight. Under the bright moonlight, they could see it clearly.
There were no longer any green corridors, pavilions, or houses.
This place was filled with desolate ruins, broken walls, spider webs, and a rotten stench.
There were also tombs standing among the houses.
Looking at it made one's heart tremble.
The peace was no longer there, and the atmosphere of the ghost village was terrifying.
The seemingly peaceful villagers had now turned into specks of light and gradually dissipated among the graves overgrown with weeds.
"Junior Brother Zhou Ze, what's going on with Apricot Forest Village?”
Zhang Ming took a deep breath and asked.
Yu Youwei, Liu Xiaodie, and Xu Qiuqing also looked over curiously.
Who would have thought that not only was the flirtatious Miss Red Sleeves the great demon Hui, but Meng Zhe was also possessed by Meng Shentong!
Even Xinglin Village was a ghost village in ruins. The villagers did not know if it was a ghost or something else.
It was truly frightening.
Zhou Ze said," As you can see, the villagers of Xinglin Village are dead. They were eaten by the venomous snakes and turned into a ghost village!”
In fact, when Zhou Ze was looking for information about the villagers…
He was also shocked.
Xinglin Village Villager A: A remnant of consciousness has been reflected by someone's divine art!
The remnant consciousness was probably not a ghost!
"And the reason why this village appeared like what we saw before was because of the fog. The fog can transform into an illusion and preserve the appearance of the villagers when they were alive.”
"This is why Junior Sister Liu Xiaodie asked. Those villagers don't remember the demon disaster at all, nor do they know that cultivators were killed by big demons.”
"Because they don't exist at all. They're just a spirit, a spirit that only has a trace of instinct.”
Zhou Ze said.
This was what he had guessed after checking the information of the villagers.
Xu Qiuqing asked again," Junior brother Zhou Ze, what's with the fog?”
"You have to ask the ancient locust tree outside the village!”
Zhou Ze shook his head and looked at the ancient locust tree outside the village.
"Is the ancient locust tree also a great demon?" Xiaodie Liu asked timidly.
"It should be considered a demon, but it's a good demon!”
Zhou Ze responded and walked toward the old locust tree outside the village.
However!
The old locust tree's spiritual sense had already entered a state of exhaustion and was about to lose its death.
However!
Before it died, it sent a message to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze found out about everything.
As he said, the ancient pagoda tree was originally a ten-thousand-year-old tree in the village. It was connected to the villagers of Xinglin Village and was worshipped by the villagers as a god.
Gradually, it gained sentience.
Become a demon!
However, he didn't show his supernatural power. He just quietly guarded the Apricot Forest Village like a god.
The good times didn't last long. A venomous snake demon descended upon Apricot Forest Village and caused a disaster.
The old locust tree couldn't fight against Venomous Snake and couldn't protect the people of Apricot Forest Village. In the end, the whole village became Venomous Snake's food.
However, he had also used all his life energy to set up the Mist Realm to envelop the village and trap the venomous snake demon in the Apricot Forest Village. He did not want to let the demon come out and harm the human world.
At the same time!
The reason why the fog could show the villagers 'past scenes was that the villagers were still in the fog.
Because it was formed by the obsession of the ancient locust tree.
It was his deepest memory, the scenery he saw every day, a carefree place.
He wanted to protect the villagers, but he failed to fulfill his duty, leaving only endless sadness.
Now that Zhou Ze had killed the venomous snake and dispelled the last bit of the ancient locust tree's obsession, everything returned to normal.
After Zhou Ze told Xu Qiuqing and the others about it, the three girls were all teary-eyed. They were so curious that they started crying again.
Finally!
Zhou Ze cut open the ancient locust tree and took out a mysterious sapling that was half a foot tall. The sapling was crystal clear and glowing.
The mysterious sapling was born after the extinction of the ancient locust tree. It contained divinity and had unlimited growth possibilities!
Infinite growth possibilities!
This was undoubtedly a treasure tree.
Zhou Ze accepted it and planted it in his dantian to keep the baby Kun Peng company!
