When she wanted to use the Boundless Demon Eyes to communicate with the imaginary space and restore herself, she was shocked to find that she had lost contact with the imaginary space at some point.
The face of the Queen of Jingjue was hideous and painful, and there was confusion in her expression. The severe pain made her thoughts disordered, and she couldn't figure out why she suddenly lost contact with the Serpent God. She looked at Hu Xiuwu in a trance:
“You, you…”
"Thank you for helping me figure out the truth about the ghost cave. Otherwise, I would have had to resort to the stupid method of using Luo Fengtian to drain the imaginary space."
After learning the truth about the ghost cave, Hu Xiuwu quietly changed his plan. The military book says that one should adapt to local conditions and be flexible. The previous plan was just a vague plan due to the lack of understanding of the inside story of the ghost cave. Now that the truth about the ghost cave is known, how can he continue to rigidly implement the plan?
Since the imaginary space is like the medicine bag of the snake god, and the snake is like a syringe, why should we go far away?
Instead of using Luo Fengtian to devour the imaginary space directly, it would be better to destroy this section of the snake first. Without the syringe, the imaginary space will not be able to affect the mortal world for the time being, and the Queen of Jingjue will naturally lose contact with the Snake God.
The power of the Snake God that she used to resist Hadili's suicidal intention was the last of her power, just like the remaining medicine in a syringe.
Hu Xiuwu had already thought of this plan when he was fighting with the giant snake just now. After rescuing Hadili and Tang Yifu, he secretly communicated with them and asked them to cover for him so that Hu Xiuwu could get close to the Queen of Jingjue.
Hadili agreed readily, and even in order to make the plan more real and to consume the power of the Queen of Jingjue, he still put thirty years of his life as a bargaining chip when he knew that it was a fake trap on his side. He completely attracted the attention of the Queen of Jingjue and made her dare not be distracted for a moment.
Originally, Hu Xiuwu had attracted the attention of the Queen of Jingjue by using Hadi's strength. He was already close to her and could have beheaded her with one blow. But before he did so, Hu Xiuwu suddenly remembered that Shirley Yang had once mentioned to him that she had seen the Queen of Jingjue in her dream.
At the same time, she was very sure that the body of the Queen of Jingjue was intact.
Why is she a complete corpse?
This was very unusual. Since he had doubts in his heart, Hu Xiuwu finally did not argue with history. According to the original plan, he let Chen Duo use Dan Shi to send the Queen of Jingjue on her final journey.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing that the Queen of Jingjue fell to the ground and even turned back into human form, Hadili threw away the two swords in his hands and laughed.
He laughed heartily and happily. Years of repression, tension, anxiety and hatred were released at this moment.
Tang Yifu finally loosened his fingers that had been unconsciously rubbing the bowstring, breathed a sigh of relief, and was no longer worried.
Hu Xiuwu also released Chen Duo and Zhang Qian, who had been imprisoned in Luo Fengtian before the war.
After Zhang Qian came out of Luofengtian, he looked at Hu Xiuwu with a strange look in his eyes. He was not stupid. Luofengtian was a magical cave heaven that was beyond his understanding. He began to doubt Xiuwu's identity, but asked in awe:
"Xiuwu, no, is the envoy an immortal?"
Before Hu Xiuwu sent Zhang Qian to Luofengtian, he had no intention of hiding the truth from Zhang Qian:
"No, that is the legacy left by our ancestors."
Hu Xiuwu was talking about Li Chunfeng, but Zhang Qian misunderstood and exclaimed, "Could it be that Liu Hou has really become an immortal and a god who controls the underworld?"
Hu Xiuwu laughed and said, "Haha, who knows."
Hadili laughed for a long time, venting all his years of resentment. Then he picked up the dagger on the ground and walked towards the body of the Queen of Jingjue. He wanted to cut off her head.
But this was not to vent personal anger, but to quell the chaos in the city.
Hadili had learned about the situation outside through Zumuret.
Both the Jingjue and the Western Region coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, but compared to Gumo, the three-party coalition forces of Qiuci suffered greater casualties. Only if he went out with the head of the Jingjue queen would it be possible to make the Jingjue side stop and surrender, and both sides would stop fighting.
"Please wait a moment, Prince Gumo!"
At the entrance to the underground palace, a strange and old voice called out to Hadili. A figure flashed through the cave entrance, using the remains of several stone platforms as stepping stones, and came to Hu Xiuwu and the others.
Zhang Qian and Hu Xiuwu were all new to the Western Regions and did not know who the visitor was, but Hadili recognized him and frowned and said:
"You are the high priest of Jingjue Nation."
"It is the old man."
Did Jingjue actually have the position of high priest? This was the first time Hu Xiuwu had heard of it.
The high priest already had gray hair on his temples and looked much older than King Yanqi. However, King Yanqi was still young and it was just that something went wrong while practicing witchcraft that made him look old. But the high priest was truly old.
Anyway, as far as Hadili knew, the high priest of the Jingjue Kingdom was definitely over a hundred years old. Before the appearance of the Queen of Jingjue, he was the actual controller of the Jingjue Kingdom. But after the Queen of Jingjue appeared, he became more low-key and gradually there was no news about him.
Although Hadili's tone was unpleasant, the High Priest of Jingjue did not get angry. However, his own king was killed right under their noses, so what right did he have to turn his back on Hu Xiuwu and the others?
However, Hu Xiuwu looked at the high priest with interest. Although the high priest was already a centenarian, his eyes were clear, not at all cloudy like those of ordinary old men. It was obvious at first glance that he was a person who had achieved success in cultivation.
Such a person, didn't even come to help the Queen of Jingjue when they were at a disadvantage and had no time to take care of the situation here?
Is he confident in the Queen of Jingjue's strength, or does he have other intentions?
Chapter 162 Return
Hadili did not understand the purpose of the high priest's appearance at this time. He secretly observed the shadow position under the high priest's feet where he could strike the most easily, and said with a different expression:
"Is the High Priest coming to avenge your queen?"
The high priest shook his head: "No, no, I know very well that with our current strength, we cannot compare with Prince Gumo's power that can penetrate the earth."
"I know that what Uchanakahai has done in recent years is indeed excessive, and it is understandable that you assassinated her, but after all, I watched her grow up, can you please leave her body intact?"
"I know you hate her, but she is already dead. As long as you promise to hand her over to me for burial, I will come forward to appease the Jingjue soldiers and surrender to you on their behalf."
The high priest had tears in his eyes, his face was filled with grief and sadness, and there was a hint of crying in his words, as if he was regretting that he had not taught the Queen of Jingjue well.
Well, an excellent actor.
Hu Xiuwu commented.
It was obvious that everything the high priest said was bullshit. When he was in the Eluohai City, Nadutong had found out about the Samsara Sect's method of cultivating and mastering the Ghost Mother with the Boundless Demon Pupils. This secret technique was recorded in detail in the information that Liao Zhong gave to Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi.
The gifted girl is locked in a dark underground chamber, where she is forced to endure the pain of eternal darkness and endless loneliness. She uses the extreme pain to break through the limits of her eyes and awaken her boundless demon eyes that can communicate with the remains of the snake god.
From the beginning to the end of this ceremony, no one will visit her. The only things that will keep her company are the skeletons of past failures. She will either successfully comprehend the Boundless Demon Eyes, gain powerful strength and break out on her own to become the leader of the Demon Kingdom, or she will become a part of the skeleton and remain unknown.
How could the high priest love the Queen of Jingjue as much as he claimed if he could send a girl to endure such torture?
What he was doing now was nothing more than wanting to obtain the remains of the Queen of Jingjue, or more specifically, her boundless demon pupil. Just like the Samsara Sect stationed in the Eluohai City, he wanted to use the boundless demon pupil and the brain to maintain the connection between them and the Snake God.
In the Demon Kingdom back then, although the Ghost Mother was the undisputed ruler of the Demon Kingdom, the priests still held important positions, shared the Ghost Mother's power, and assisted the Ghost Mother in handling the affairs of the Demon Kingdom. However, in recent years, the Western Region has become the private property of the Queen of Jingjue, and the priests of the Samsara Sect do not have much say in the Kingdom of Jingjue. In fact, the Queen of Jingjue is clearly suppressing them.
It was obvious that they were not used to the situation.
"I thought that this kind of belief was a real sect, and there would not be such a power struggle. It seems that Gao Gu already knew the internal situation of Gumo, so he said that as long as the Queen of Jingjue was killed, everything would be accomplished."
Combining the current situation with information from later generations, Hu Xiuwu quickly figured out the truth of the matter.
After listening to the high priest's words, Hadili did not reply to him first, but looked at Hu Xiuwu first:
"Shugo, what do you think?"
Hu Xiuwu shrugged: "This is your internal affairs in the Western Region. Duo'er and I are just passing through. The affairs of the Western Region should naturally be decided by you people in the Western Region."
Seeing that Hu Xiuwu had handed everything over to him to decide, Hadili lowered his head and thought for a while.
The high priest was afraid of the power of his red lotus fire and had to come forward to negotiate with him, but he knew his own business. The previous attack had consumed thirty years of his life and had damaged his foundation. Even if he fought desperately, he would not be able to unleash the same power again in a short period of time to destroy himself and his family.
The Gumo army was fighting a bloody battle outside, suffering constant casualties. The Queen of Jingjue was dead, and the Jingjue Kingdom no longer had the transcendent status it once had, so there was no need to fight any further.
But in this situation, Hadili needs to show his confidence: "First, you should ask the Jingjue to stop, as a sign of sincerity in the peace talks."
"It's natural."
Hadili said: "Then please come forward now to stop the Jingjue soldiers, and we will discuss the next matter. Don't worry, as long as you can stop the Jingjue, I have no reason to harm the body of the Jingjue Queen."
The high priest carefully compared the strength of both sides. He did not have the confidence to snatch the body of the Queen of Jingjue from Hadili without the power bestowed by the Snake God. He could only take a step back, trusting in Hadili's character, and step forward to quell the war.
Before leaving, the high priest glanced at Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo covertly. He knew that although the Queen of Jingjue did not like them, she was fanatical in her belief in the Snake God and she would never joke about the oracle.
Putting aside worldly rights, he is also a loyal believer, so if there is a chance,
As for Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, he still planned to keep them both in the ghost cave forever.
······
After the high priest and his men left, only Hu Xiuwu and his group were left on the stone platform. Tang Yifu was still telling Zhang Qian about the scene of the battle with the Queen of Jingjue.
Hadili put away his dagger and came to Hu Xiuwu. With a solemn and formal look, he said to Hu Xiuwu who was confused:
"Xiuwu, you and Duo'er are leaving, right?"
Hu Xiuwu didn't understand what Hadili meant, so he said casually, "Of course, A-mei and I came here for the Jingjue Ghost Cave. Now that the Jingjue Queen has been eliminated, of course we have to leave. Didn't I tell you about this a long time ago?"
Hadili said with emotion: "After this separation, we will be separated for a thousand years and will never meet again."
!!!
Hu Xiuwu looked at Hadili in astonishment. Hadili actually knew his and Chen Duo's origins. The only one who knew their origins, besides himself, was...
Hu Xiuwu turned his head and looked at the lovely Chen Duo. Chen Duo looked at him with her eyes that were as clean and pure as the water in a clear lake, but also seemed to contain the moonlight. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if questioning him:
Look at what I do.
Ugh,
Even though he knew that the news was leaked by Chen Duo, when Hu Xiuwu, who was not angry to begin with, was looked at by such an innocent, fresh and unworldly face, he no longer felt any resentment and even felt that he had made a profit.
Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo stared at each other. Hadili mistakenly thought that Hu Xiuwu blamed Chen Duo for leaking the secret. Fearing that it would affect their relationship, he hurriedly explained:
"Xiuwu, don't misunderstand. It wasn't Sister Duo'er who let the cat out of the bag. It was Zumuretti."
"She was worried that you were spies from Jingjue and that I would fall into danger, so she broke her vow for my sake and used her telepathy to probe into the secrets in Duo'er's heart."
"I now know your origins."
Zumureti used his telepathy to read Chen Duo's mind and naturally understood Chen Duo's experiences. He felt quite sympathetic and pity for her experiences, but also felt extremely guilty about his own actions.
So when Hadili and Hu Xiuwu were practicing the Red Lotus Ninja Technique, she went out of her way to take care of Chen Duo, accompanied her in dancing practice, taught her how to dress up, and found exquisite dance dresses for her. She would agree to any request she made.
Hadili learned about Chen Duo and Hu Xiuwu's plan from Zumureti. He also knew that the high priest would definitely not let Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo leave easily, so he deliberately sent the high priest away.
Hadili turned to look at Chen Duo and said softly, "Zumureti asked me to tell you: I hope you will have no more pain and suffering in your future life. I will pray for you here."
Chen Duo was a little puzzled: "Why does Zumuredi think I'm in pain? I don't feel any pain."
Hadili slowly and firmly performed the most noble Gumo etiquette towards Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo to express his gratitude to Hu Xiuwu.
Afterwards, Hadili took away Zhang Qian and Tang Yifu, who were still unaware of the truth, leaving only Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo.
Chen Duo looked at Xiu Wu's angular profile and her face turned slightly red. She liked this kind of beautiful things.
She asked softly, "Are we just leaving like this?"
Hu Xiuwu said: "We are just passers-by. This is the sacrifice made by Hadili. It is their victory. Now it is time for them to celebrate and enjoy their victory."
Hu Xiuwu vaguely heard the excited celebrations of the crowd, the cheers of those who survived the disaster, and many people shouting "Sun God of War".
