Chapter 322 I'm really not Changqingzi?!
Chapter 322 I'm really not Changqingzi?!
As night fell, the vast Biyou Palace was completely silent.
The once bustling shrine is now only filled with the crackling sound of charcoal crackling in the burning brazier.
In a palace, a Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged in the center of the main hall, meditating with his eyes closed.
This person was the elder who had imparted his skills to the Blood Exchange Warrior during the day. His name was Hai Qingzi, and he was a top expert who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Divine Palace.
On either side of Hai Qingzi were two Daoist boys lying down.
The Taoist boy was completely naked at this moment, and a thin root was extending from his back. The source of the root was actually inside Hai Qingzi's body!
At that moment, the root was contracting as if breathing, and the Taoist boy lying on the ground began to writhe like a maggot, as if he was enduring great pain.
As for Hai Qingzi, she sat cross-legged with a rosy complexion and a look of comfort on her face.
Just then, the flickering firelight in the dark hall suddenly flashed, as if a strong wind had blown by.
Hai Qingzi, who was sitting cross-legged in the hall, immediately opened her eyes, and her aura rose up like a whirlwind.
A burst of emerald green light erupted from his body and spread outwards at an alarming speed.
But the next moment, a figure moved even faster.
Ding Yi instantly appeared in front of Hai Qingzi. He grinned maliciously at the dumbfounded Hai Qingzi, then grabbed his head with one hand, and a shockwave erupted.
"Boom!!"
A tremendous tremor suddenly erupted from Hai Qingzi's body, but the sound was held in place by an invisible force and could not travel out.
The next moment, a large amount of blood gushed out from Hai Qingzi's seven orifices. His eyes were wide open, seemingly bewildered, and his mouth was agape as if he wanted to shout something.
But Ding Yi didn't give him that chance at all. He just saw a beam of light come out of his hand, and countless vines stretched out from Hai Qingzi's mouth, as if a budding flower was growing in his belly.
In less than a breath, Hai Qingzi went from looking blissful to becoming a corpse.
[You have slain the evil Taoist priest of Biyou Palace; your lifespan has increased by 189 years and 13 days.]
Ding Yi released his grip and looked at the two Daoist boys convulsing on the ground at his feet. His expression immediately turned strange.
This Biyou Palace looks like an evil palace no matter how you look at it, even more outrageous than the Yin-Yang Palace.
In particular, the Taoist's method of cultivation, which uses human flesh as material, is simply unbelievable.
Damn it, something's not right with Changqingzi!
I am definitely not some Evergreen, after all, I am so kind!
Ding Yi thought about it and felt he wasn't so sure, but he still swung his palm and killed the two Taoist boys from a distance.
After all, these two don't look normal. Who knows if they're carrying drugs?
But this time, Ding Yi surprisingly did not receive any notification of an increase in lifespan.
"This is... a human fiend?"
Ding Yi was taken aback, but just in case, he released the Evergreen Spirit Fire, which completely burned the corpses of the two Daoist boys to ashes.
Seeing that there was no indication of an increase in lifespan from beginning to end, Ding Yi realized that Biyou Palace could actually use human demons to practice martial arts!
He looked at Hai Qingzi, whose seven orifices were emitting branches, frowned slightly, and then reached into his robes to take out a bamboo tube containing the evil insects.
This was the last evil Gu in his body, and now, in order to uncover Changqingzi's secret, he had to use it.
"I wonder if that girl Li Wanyun still has any left. This stuff is really good."
Ding Yi suddenly realized that Li Wanyun might still be useful. If this crisis could be resolved smoothly, he planned to find her again and ask for some more evil Gu.
Shortly after half a cup of tea, a gaunt figure dressed in a Taoist robe was kneeling in front of Ding Yi.
Hai Qingzi knelt there, her eyes vacant, prostrate on the ground, her forehead touching the earth, and slowly said:
“Master, we released the Evergreen Qi Technique and the Nourishing Spirit Pill in order to cultivate the Evergreen Seed.”
Ding Yi, sitting there, was taken aback by what he heard, and then asked:
What is an evergreen variety?
Hai Qingzi shook her head upon hearing this and said:
"These are all the orders of the immortals of Biyou Palace. I don't know the specific details either."
Ding Yi felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this. He had spent a whole day coming here, not for a mere "I don't know".
Thinking of this, Ding Yi continued to ask:
"Changqingzi, do you know?"
Hai Qingzi spoke very quickly this time:
"This is the ancestor of all the immortal masters of the palace, whose Daoist name is Changqing."
After Hai Qingzi finished speaking, there was no further sound.
Ding Yi sat there waiting for three or four breaths, but Hai Qingzi didn't continue. Somewhat speechless, he asked:
"Don't tell me that's all you know."
Upon hearing this, Hai Qingzi immediately spoke calmly:
"Master, that's right."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi cursed and got up, kicking Hai Qingzi to the ground, and then said:
"Have you received news of the massacre? Why did other divine palaces massacre their cities, but you didn't?!"
Hai Qingzi continued:
"All animals and humans in Huazhou have the Evergreen Flower inside their bodies, and they should not be slaughtered at will."
Ding Yi was quite surprised when he heard this.
The way the Bishop Palace in Washington, D.C., manages its territory seems to be different from other states.
In other states, people cultivate evil spirits, but in Huazhou, it seems that they have planted some kind of evergreen flower.
At this moment, Ding Yi suddenly remembered the two children Hai Qingzi had used during his cultivation, and seemed to understand something.
Ding Yi stroked his chin and then stood there pondering.
It is obvious that Biyou Palace has planted evergreen flowers in the bodies of everyone, and these flowers seem to satisfy the daily cultivation needs of the evil gods within the palace.
However, Ding Yi did not believe that the evergreen flower had only this one function.
Otherwise, even if it interfered with his cultivation, he believed that Biyou Palace would still participate in the massacre to avoid arousing suspicion.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi continued to ask:
"Won't your failure to massacre the city arouse suspicion from other divine palaces?"
Hai Qingzi said:
"Of course not. The way the true god of Biyou Palace descends to the mortal realm does not require sacrifice. Moreover, the matter of reviving Changqingzi is known only to the gods of Biyou Palace, and the news will absolutely not be spread outside."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi was immediately startled and exclaimed:
"Resurrecting the 'Growing Green Seed'? Wait! You're resurrecting the 'Growing Green Seed'?!"
Hai Qingzi raised his head upon hearing this, staring blankly at Ding Yi for a moment before slowly saying:
"Master, it is like this."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately burst into a tirade of curses:
"Why the hell didn't you mention resurrection just now?! And look at me, don't I look like Changqingzi reincarnated?!"
Hai Qingzi looked at Ding Yi expressionlessly upon hearing this, and then slowly said:
“I didn’t say anything unless my master asked. Master, I can’t answer whether you are Changqingzi.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi felt somewhat helpless.
This anti-corpse technique is great in every way, except that the mind of the controlled corpse is too limited and cannot be expanded at all.
Compared to that, the Controlling Evil Pill is still more effective.
However, this pill was too potent and had a certain success rate, so Ding Yi hadn't used it for a long time.
And now, Ding Yi has discovered something even more important.
The people of Biyou Palace are reviving Changqingzi!
The fact that he was still alive meant that he was not Changqingzi after all.
Upon thinking of this, Ding Yi felt an overwhelming sense of frustration.
You son of a bitch, Changqingzi! I've been taking the blame for you for so long, if I don't scatter your ashes today, I'll change my name!
And you brain-dead shrine servants, since you can't find Changqingzi, I'll help you find him!
In the darkness, a low laugh gradually rose, mingling with the flickering firelight in the hall.
