The years I was in the human world

Chapter 140 I left him for 1 years

"Even if you know, it's too late. The Nine-Direction Killing Formation has already been activated. Even if you rush over now, ahem, it's too late."

Qi Nankuo curled up on the ground in cold sweat. He had originally planned to keep his secret but now he was in extreme pain and finally revealed everything. Lu Zhouxue looked at him silently with an indifferent expression, and her worried eyes fell on Xiao Fengzhuo.

He stood half of his body in the darkness with his back to this side, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. His hanging hands were trembling slightly, as if some surging emotions were about to burst out of his body, almost destroying all his beliefs.

"Azhuo?" Lu Zhouxue called out softly. He felt that something was wrong with Xiao Fengzhuo. Ever since he entered the underground royal mausoleum, he had been shrouded in an intense pain. This pain was particularly obvious every time Xiao Fengzhuo mentioned the old stories of the Immortal Kingdom. Now, after questioning Qi Nankuo, this pain in him was magnified to the extreme.

Did anything in Qi Nankuo's words sting him? Lu Zhouxue took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Fengzhuo in his arms, patted his back soothingly, and his eyes fell thoughtfully on Qi Nankuo, who was half dead on the ground: "Azhuo, I'm here."

Qi Nankuo told them that Kong Que had perfected the formation that Dongshan used to strangle Zhu Huang in the past, and planned to use the resentment of the Dongshan ghost den to suppress Qinghe there, making it difficult for her to use her cultivation to destroy Kong Que's plan. He also threatened with the lives of thousands of people, forcing Qinghe to commit suicide.

It is a nonsensical and absurd approach, but behind Peacock is the Way of Heaven. As a god, Qinghe has to put the safety of the people first. Peacock's plan may be a joke to others, but it is very effective when used against Qinghe.

If Qinghe commits suicide, then her divinity and soul will become stepping stones for Peacock to revive Zhu Huang. If she refuses, it means she is disregarding human life, and Heaven can use this as an excuse to deprive her of her divinity - this is a trap, a trap set by Heaven for Qinghe through Peacock.

When Qi Nankuo was tortured insane by Xiao Fengzhuo's interrogation methods, which he learned from nowhere, he confessed some trivial matters that Peacock had inadvertently revealed. He probably said that the thing behind Peacock had been secretly changing things.

It is not the first time that Heaven has replaced Qinghe with Zhuhuang and replaced the original innate gods with minions cultivated in the mortal world.

"Why would it be Qinghe?" Lu Zhouxue picked up Qi Nankuo, who was cursing non-stop, like a tied pig in his hands, and hurried towards the ferry in the west of the city, frowning in thought. It was obvious that the Heavenly Dao had developed mortal desires and was plotting to replace the innate gods, but he still felt that there were some key points that he had not figured out.

The river at the ferry was turbulent, connecting to the Yellow Springs and the River of Oblivion. From time to time, the faces of the dead souls with resentment and unwillingness could be seen rising from the turbulent water. The three of them stood at the ferry, feeling troubled by the turbulent water. Xie Huaiyu said, "Without a boat or oars, how can we cross the river?"

As soon as Xie Huaiyu finished speaking, a man in black and a cloak came slowly from afar in a lone boat, and finally docked steadily at the ferry.

"Boatman, here we come," Xiao Fengzhuo said, and several people got on the boat one by one. Lu Zhouxue threw Qi Nankuo on first, and after he and Xie Huaiyu were standing at the stern, he gently jumped onto the bow and briefly met the eyes of the boatman under his cloak, who nodded slightly at him.

Nothing went wrong when they left the underground royal mausoleum from the ferry, and the journey was relatively peaceful. When the three of them came up from the royal mausoleum, they were facing the former Rongcheng Inn. The sky was pitch black, like an ominous sign before a disaster.

"It's too late. Even gods can't escape Zhu Huang's fate." Qi Nankuo was still talking nonsense in Lu Zhouxue's hand. Xiao Fengzhuo kicked him directly: "Shut up!"

There was thick fog in the center of the Dongshan Ghost Cave, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside. Only the tense atmosphere in the air indicated uneasiness.

"It's the Nine Square Formation." Xie Huaiyu's expression suddenly changed. The reason why the Nine Square Formation made cultivators shudder was because every activation required the sacrifice of a soul, either a living person or a dead person; similarly, anyone trapped by the Nine Square Formation, whether human or ghost, would be reduced to ashes.

“If Qinghe is smart enough and doesn’t fall into that damn girl’s trap and commit suicide, this formation can only suppress her cultivation but won’t hurt her at all.” Xiao Fengzhuo was not afraid that Qinghe would die in there. As a god who had lived for thousands of years, it would be too stupid if he couldn’t deal with this.

"The problem is this Nine Square Formation. If it is not broken, the surrounding areas will be affected. If it is broken, the evil spirit in the formation will leak out, and all lives will be lost." Xiao Fengzhuo had a headache after investigating the situation in the Nine Square Formation. "If we clear the miasma first, I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of Qinghe."

"We need to break the formation first. If we leave it alone, countless mortals will be killed or injured. We have to take responsibility for our positions. Let Qinghe hold on for a while." Lu Zhouxue sighed and said helplessly, "It's just that Qinghe just arrived in the human world, and the nine-square formation is ready. I don't know if it's a coincidence or a premeditated plan."

"It can't be a coincidence." A voice sounded in the ears of Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo at the same time, and then the wind and clouds on the dome changed suddenly. A young man who defied the frost and snow came riding on the wind with a long sword on his back. His long robe and ribbon fluttered like a fairy, and his red clothes were as hot as the midday sun.

"Little..." Xie Huaiyu lost his voice when he saw the person in front of him. He just opened his mouth to say something, but the boy in front of him didn't even look at him, and walked straight towards Xiao Fengzhuo. The two of them bumped fists, and the latter called out familiarly: "Axue."

"I have found out that the way of heaven is out of order. My little Ling has taken the calamity for me. The Moon God and the Snow God have long since fallen. The Mountain God Emperor was also demoted because of the Moon God's past. The gods of the ancient times are all gone. Now, the only ones left in Buzhou Mountain are new gods who have been replaced by new gods. They are not powerful enough for the time being."

A slight surprise appeared on Xie Huaiyu's face. He stared at Xiao Jin's face, which looked very similar to his junior brother. He couldn't help but think of the days when he practiced sword at Wuxiang Peak. But now, times have changed, and both he and his junior brother have changed beyond recognition.

Xiao Jin didn't notice Xie Huaiyu's strange behavior. He paused and continued, "Only Wen Huaixu acts erratically and is difficult for Heaven to control. Now this nine-square formation, together with the miasma that stretches for a thousand miles, are all specially prepared by Heaven to make its minions in the mortal world replace Wen Huaixu as Xia Si."

"Are you here to help Qinghe or to pick up Xiao Yueheng?" Xiao Fengzhuo nodded. He looked at the tired young man and couldn't help asking, "Since you've already seen him in the human world, why are you in such a hurry to wait a hundred years?"

"It's not just a hundred years that separates him from me." Xiao Jin's sharp eyebrows softened, revealing a bit of sadness, "Senior Sister, I've been away from him for fifteen thousand years. I miss him very much."

Xiao Fengzhuo also fell silent when he heard this.

Xie Huaiyu, on the other hand, felt a little strange when he heard what Xiao Jin said. How could his junior brother, who had not seen him for a hundred years, even get involved in the affairs of the God Realm? After hearing this, he could no longer hold back: "Junior brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'fifteen thousand years'?"

"Who are you?" Xiao Jin only noticed Xie Huaiyu then, and he looked over, and the imposing aura on his body rushed towards the latter without any hindrance. Xie Huaiyu was shocked and took a step back. He looked at Xiao Jin with more shock.

Just as he was about to ask him what he had been through over the years and how he became like this, Xiao Fengzhuo took the lead and pressed Xie Huaiyu's shoulders to pull him back, explaining: "This is Axue, not your junior brother. Stop talking nonsense and get down to business first."

The three gods joined forces to break the Nine Square Formation very quickly. The scattered ghost energy was also contained in the ghost den by Xiao Jin's magic power. He used both hands to make a spell to transform the ghost energy, and said to Xiao and Lu: "I will handle this. You go take care of Qinghe first. It may not be easy for her to deal with the harm from the Heavenly Dao."

"Then I'll leave these two to you to deal with, Axue." Xiao Fengzhuo threw the tightly tied Qi Nankuo to Xiao Jin's feet, and pointed at Xie Huaiyu.

"Okay." Xiao Jin nodded.

When the two arrived at the place where Qinghe had the strongest magic power, the entire Dongshan had already become a Shura hell full of resentment under the siege of ghost energy and confusion. Countless evil spirits poured out from the ground, running around howling like ghosts and wolves, and thousands of mortals huddled in the encirclement of the evil spirits and trembled.

At the innermost part of the ghost den was a huge black fog, with the hideous faces of evil ghosts sliding by from time to time. The golden light of merit emitted by Qinghe's magic power shone through from time to time. It seemed that she was trapped inside.

"I knew that the Nine Square Formation couldn't stop you two." Peacock stood by calmly. When he saw the two people coming, he didn't react at all. He just stood up with the Zhaoyang Sword in hand and blocked the two people's steps to help Qinghe. "I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you two to get through here."

"We are fully aware of your plan. The messenger from the divine realm has already come. Are you still stubborn and stubborn?" Although Xiao Fengzhuo hated Kong Que to the core because of stabbing Lu Zhouxue in the back, he was merciful after all and gave her a chance to turn back.

"Incorrigible? Aha." Peacock chuckled. She looked up at Xiao Fengzhuo. There was no trace of the old days in her eyes. Only the madness of using any means to achieve the goal remained. "That's what I want to ask, why do you always block my way? No need to say more, just do it."

"How stupid." Xiao Fengzhuo sighed helplessly. Lu Zhouxue drew his sword and attacked Peacock.

"You think you can stop me with just a broken sword?" The two of them fought together. Peacock relied on the help of Heaven and thought that she was no longer the same as before. She looked at the broken sword in Lu Zhouxue's hand and laughed softly, "Lu Zhouxue, you are so arrogant."

"To reverse yin and yang and go against the will of heaven is to interfere in other people's affairs, Peacock. You are the arrogant one." Lu Zhouxue knocked the sword out of Peacock's hand with a sword. The tip of the broken sword pointed directly at her throat. He didn't want her life. The gap of the broken sword stopped at a small space. "A broken sword is enough to deal with you."

Just when Xiao Fengzhuo thought that the dust had settled, something unexpected happened the next moment. A blood-red formation suddenly appeared under Lu Zhouxue's feet, and then the formation turned into a huge blood ball that swallowed him whole. A blood line extended from the blood ball and connected to the head of the peacock's corpse.

Xiao Fengzhuo's expression changed, and he immediately used his magic power to try to destroy the blood ball that trapped Lu Zhouxue. Peacock slowly picked up his Zhaoyang Sword that was knocked away. Seeing Xiao Fengzhuo's action, he sneered and said, "Don't waste your energy. This is a formation specifically targeting him."

"What on earth do you want to do?" Xiao Fengzhuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Que. His hand had already pressed on the hilt of the scimitar at his waist. If he had some leeway towards Kong Que just now, now he really wanted to kill him. "You did all this not just to revive Zhu Huang, right?"

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Peacock cautiously did not answer Xiao Fengzhuo's question.

"If it's just to revive Zhu Huang, Qinghe is enough. After all, Heaven chose Zhu Huang as a replacement, and it's her who replaced him." Xiao Fengzhuo said, "You went to so much trouble to prepare another formation to deal with him. It shouldn't be Heaven's instruction. He doesn't have so much time to spare. Then it must be your own selfish desire."

"You want to refine a demon corpse, you want a weapon with divine power that you can use at your will, Peacock, you have such big ambitions." The more Xiao Fengzhuo spoke, the worse Peacock's expression became. It seemed that he was right. "You said you were doing it for your mother. That's really a good excuse."

"You don't have to deliberately provoke me." Facing Xiao Fengzhuo's relentless ridicule, Kong Que remained expressionless and instead smiled. He casually swung the Zhaoyang Sword in his hand into a sword flower, and suddenly thrust the sword at Xiao Fengzhuo in the middle of his words, "I am doing this for her and for myself. My ambition will never be a reason for me to feel ashamed."

The two men clashed with swords and knives with fatal blows. Unlike the defeat with Lu Zhouxue just now, Xiao Fengzhuo was somewhat surprised to find that Kong Que actually fought back and forth with him. Noticing his surprise, Kong Que smiled at him while fighting and said:

"What? Are you surprised? Since I dared to wait for you to come, I will naturally not be unprepared. Little Spoon, I am not the Peacock of the past. Now, I can kill gods." After Peacock said this, the sword in his hand suddenly loosened, and his figure flashed and appeared behind Xiao Fengzhuo.

"Heaven says that you are the ancestor of demons in the divine world, so why don't you protect my mother? Isn't she your people?" Peacock's hand pierced directly through Xiao Fengzhuo's back and accurately found the warm heart in his chest. He grabbed it with force and pulled it out.

"You deserve to die just like them." The whole process happened unexpectedly. When Xiao Fengzhuo reacted, there was only a bloody hole left in his chest. When he turned around, he saw his bloody heart beating in Peacock's hand.

"The demon ancestor Yao Su is nothing more than this." Xiao Fengzhuo's body fell to the ground with a bang. Kong Que threw his heart away casually, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands, and then set his gaze on the large group of ghost energy that wrapped around Qinghe, and suddenly felt a little worried.

Please don't let me down, Xia Siqing. If the gods on Mount Buzhou are so vulnerable, then what is so special about this position of god? Peacock couldn't help but think with a bit of amusement.
