I can't be a demon.

Chapter 378: The Feast in Heaven Is About to Fall

The Peach Garden was like a living thing. Not long after Zheng Lun and others left, they stretched out their branches and couldn't wait to divide up the fairy's corpse.

The corpse was clearly lifeless, but the moment the branch pierced the back of its head, its hands and feet trembled slightly, and its eyeballs began to move.

For a moment, the corpse lay motionless, like bacon hung out to dry.

As the breeze blew, dozens of corpses floated in the wind, like a group of fairies dancing in the Lingxiao Palace, which was creepy.

"I'm a step late."

With a grim look on his face, Lu Yue led a large number of heavenly soldiers from the Plague Department towards the third forest.

There was a hint of resentment on the cuffs of his clothes, and it was obvious that he had encountered a ghost not long ago, which caused him not to arrive immediately.

Accompanying them were Lu Yue's four disciples, Zhou Xin, Li Qi, Zhu Tianlin, and Yang Wenhui, all of whom were at the level of celestial immortals.

Except for the God of Plague and the four plague messengers, the rest of the plague soldiers saw their own corpses on the branches and felt a sudden pain in their heads.

They couldn't help but dry heave repeatedly, as if they had experienced the process of death many times.

Lu Yue waved his hand, and the plague troops retreated a thousand meters away.

Zhou Xin frowned and asked, "Master, the situation in Pantao Garden is obviously abnormal. It must be man-made, right?"

"Well, at least the seven fairies were killed by humans, and the several thousand-year-old ghosts that blocked our way earlier were also trying to buy time."

The four plague messengers looked at each other in bewilderment. The ghosts that attacked were generally immortals, but the ghost king with a pig's head and a human body could make things happen with his words, and unexpectedly misled them in the right direction.

Otherwise, they would have arrived before the seven fairies were killed.

Zhu Tianlin hesitated and asked, "What's the purpose? Why do I feel that the evil intentions of the ghosts are not directed at the Heavenly Palace, but at this Peach Garden?"

Lu Yue's face looked grim, and he vaguely realized that the drastic changes in the peach tree had nothing to do with the attacker.

How can a human ghost that is not even a celestial being control the innate spiritual roots? Moreover, the abnormality in Pantao Garden is likely not something that happened overnight.

Lu Yue also had to admit that it was most likely that the Queen Mother directed and acted in the film herself.

"Li Qi."

"The disciple is here."

"You must quickly block the six entrances and exits of Pantao Garden and never let them escape."

"Yes." Li Zhi led some of the plague troops and left in a hurry.

Lu Yue's eyes were still fixed on the corpse.

Although it is not known why there are so many corpses with the same appearance, it can be seen from the depth of the wounds that there are differences in the time of drying.

The nearby dead bodies indicated that one of the seven fairies seemed to have escaped.

"Yang Wenyao, Zhou Xin, the two of you should search carefully along the Peach Garden. Not only should you look for the culprit, but you should also rescue Fairy Hongshan."

"clear."

Zhu Tianlin took the initiative to say: "Master, I will contact Queen Mother immediately."

"and many more."

Lu Yue called Zhu Tianlin and pointed out a dozen Plague Heavenly Soldiers, "Go and inform the Queen Mother and the other Immortal Lords."

"Remember to be careful. If the Queen Mother ignores you, go to the Tushita Palace of the Supreme Lord Laozi."

Each mansion in heaven is equivalent to a small world. It is difficult to contact the immortals through telepathy, so one can only go to their homes in person to inform them one by one.

The heavenly soldiers of the Plague Department felt relieved, as they had been feeling physically and mentally unwell after staying in the Peach Garden for too long.

Especially when he saw his own corpse, he even had the illusion that he was possessed, and he did not calm down until he was far away from the third peach forest.

Lu Yue noticed that the heavenly soldier was feeling unwell, but when his immortal soul scanned his body, no external evil entered his body.

Little did he know.

As soon as the plague soldiers walked out of the Peach Garden, they couldn't help but cough violently, and at the same time, they felt an indescribable itch in their spine.

Lu Yue turned to look at Zhu Tianlin, "Master, I always feel that the aura here is somewhat familiar. You are good at getting to the bottom of things, so why not give it a try?"

Zhu Tianlin nodded, his seven orifices closed, and the magic power in his body continued to surge.

Then, his mouth swelled up and he opened his mouth to spit out a purple-blue sick mist, which silently attached itself to the surrounding peach trees.

The sick fog replayed the scenes that had happened before.

There was no cause and effect in the death of the Seven Fairies. The other party seemed to know what would happen next and escaped immediately after killing them.

Zhu Tianlin wanted to figure out the appearance of the visitor, and his eyes were bloodshot.

As a result, when the newcomer's face came into view, he couldn't help but lose his voice, his expression became extremely shocked, "This..."

"what's the situation?"

Lu Yue asked hurriedly, but saw Zhu Tianlin's pupils dilated and he said nothing. After a long while, he replied: "I saw... Junior Brother Zheng Lun."

"Zheng Lun?"

"It was Junior Brother who brought some unorthodox immortals with him to kill the six immortals."

The so-called outer immortals refer to those who have not obtained the immortal status. No matter what realm they are at, they cannot travel back and forth to heaven freely.

"Are you sure it's Zheng Lun? He shouldn't be in heaven."

"Not sure."

Zhu Tianlin thought carefully, "He looked much older, extremely tired, even with gray hair on his temples, like he was getting old..."

Lu Yue realized the intricacies of the Peach Society disaster.

The entire Peach Garden was like a prison. Their Plague Tribe had mistakenly entered it and might have been involved in the conspiracy of the high-ranking officials in Heaven.

"try to find!!"

"Whether it's Zheng Lun or not, we must find out what happened in Pantao Garden!"

Zhu Tianlin also joined the search for the foreign fairy, but before he found the culprit, he saw the body of the fairy in red.

The body died hastily at the corner of the Peach Garden, with a hint of sarcasm on its lips before death.

The plague soldiers had no time to move the body, as the peach tree had already quietly devoured it. The body was then hung on the branches of the third forest.

All the foreign immortals and ghosts have disappeared.

Only Lu Yue stayed in the third peach forest. The wind was blowing coldly, and as time went by, the fog in the peach garden was getting thicker.

He felt more and more that something was wrong. He did not care whether his spell would damage the peach tree. Suddenly, thousands of germs spread out from his mouth and nose.

cough.

cough cough cough.

Lu Yue looked dazed when he heard the plague soldiers coughing unconsciously, but they themselves did not realize that their bodies and souls had begun to transform.

Amidst the violent coughing, the soldiers of the Plague Department bent over and bent their knees, their emaciated bodies making their spines extremely obvious.

First, the plague soldiers at the human-immortal level began to move their intestines and stomachs.

puff.

After a muffled sound, the intestines and stomach turned into roots of the peach tree and broke out of the body.

Soon after, the Plague Department's heavenly soldiers at the earthly immortal level were transformed one after another, and like the Cordyceps sinensis, they gradually integrated into the environment of the Pantao Garden.

Even the four plague messengers could not avoid it.

Lu Yue's pupils shrank slightly, and a fishy and sweet taste rose up in his throat.

"Who is doing this?!"

"Who is behind this?!"

Veins bulged on Lu Yue's forehead and roots sprouted from his blood vessels. He looked around at the peach trees, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

It seemed that he had begun to be affected after setting foot in Pantao Garden.

Lu Yue stumbled towards the entrance. The Golden Immortal had no power to fight back against the aftermath of the catastrophe on the eve of heaven and earth.

His condition was even more serious, and he might die before he could even transform. It took Lu Yue more than half an hour to walk a few steps on weekdays, and his blood vessels were replaced by the roots of the peach tree.

When he came to his senses, the four disciples had escaped from the Peach Garden and disappeared.

Lu Yue stood at the entrance, and the peach tree began to affect his thoughts, as if there was a voice in his mind repeating the same words over and over again.

Only by becoming a part of the peach tree can one achieve transcendence.

"Lü Yue."

Lu Yue focused his eyes and noticed with his peripheral vision that there was a man not far away. A crow was perched on the man's shoulder and he looked like an earthly immortal.

He became furious and tore out the hair on his forehead.

"court death."

"Senior Lu Yue, if you don't control your inner demons, you will follow in my footsteps."

Lu Yue paused, and his back was immediately soaked with sweat. He touched it with his right hand and found a shallow crack on his spine.

He suppressed all distracting thoughts and stared at Shen Lian.

"who are you?"

"I am a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, and I am here to participate in the Peach Banquet."

When Shen Lian mentioned the word "Peach Festival", Lu Yue's expression became excited again, "You seem to know a lot of inside information. I want to ask you, is everything in the Peach Garden an accident?"

Lu Yue gritted his teeth, as most of his troops in the plague tribe were killed or injured, and his resentment was evident in his words.

"How could it be an accident?"

"The Queen Mother of the West must know about this. If my guess is correct, the plague soldiers were locked up in the Immortal Prison Chamber as soon as they left the Peach Garden."

"impossible."

Lu Yue expressed disbelief, but his actions showed that he believed in Shen Lian.

Not long after Shen Lian arrived at Yao Chi, the Plague Tribe happened to fall. He simply followed Lu Yue all the way and watched the Plague God become more and more crazy.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Yue would be imprisoned as soon as he left Pantao Garden, and would die after the discussion with the Three Pure Ones.

Shen Lian was deeply suspicious that Lu Yue's death was not as simple as it seemed.

It is very likely that Lu Yue knew the inside story of the Peach Banquet, and his death was ultimately very strange.

The Golden Immortal of Great Luo is indeed in a high position of power in Heaven, but when it comes to the catastrophe of heaven and earth, even he has to think twice.

Lu Yue was the first batch of Daluo Jinxian to be eliminated from the dining table.

Unless he can find an opportunity to refine the true scriptures and achieve transcendence like Zhen Yuanzi.

But...

A trace of pity flashed in Shen Lian's eyes. The Plague Department seemed to be a sacrifice prepared in advance. The immortals in Heaven also needed a Daluo Jinxian to determine the truth behind the Peach Banquet.

Lu Yue talked to himself crazily, kneeling by the wall and taking out the copper coin.

He told fortunes over and over again, but the results were always dead ends.

"Lü Yue, be careful when you leave the Peach Garden. You may be in danger at any time before the bell of the Three Pure Ones' Discussion of Dao rings."

Shen Lian turned and left.

He had previously checked the large number of corpses in the third peach forest.

Perhaps Lu Yue could not tell the origin of the scars on the corpse, but he knew very well that they were clearly the work of the Eight Gods of Ghost Market.

From the depth of Shen Lian's wounds, it could be seen that Zheng Lun and his men had still managed to kill the Seven Fairies three times.

I was a little unfamiliar with it the first time, but I became more and more decisive afterwards.

"It is very likely that Yao Chi has also experienced three reincarnations."

Shen Lian couldn't help but think of the two lost souls of the mortal. The price of the previous two reincarnations was probably the souls of mortals in the world.

He was not clear about the role Huang Mei played in reincarnation.

But it is obvious that Huang Mei is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and Zheng Lun and others are no match for this old fox who has lived through two lifetimes and countless years.

The reason why Shen Lian intervened in Lu Yue was to bring changes to the situation.

Unfortunately, although he could see that what Lu Yue was suffering from was the Qu Zhen Sutra, the scripture had already multiplied and thrived in his body and soul, and if it was separated, it would mean death.

Unless Lu Yue has the true scriptures to protect him, the ancient immortals would be completely defenseless against the scriptures.

"Myna, Ghost Dad and Zheng Lun should be together, go look for them."

"Ah~~"

The starling stopped trying to be clever and spread its wings and flew into the Peach Garden.

Shen Lian has already captured Shen Hansheng into the ghost gourd. The latter's strength as a newly-acquired human immortal is not enough to stand up in the crisis-ridden heaven.

Just as he was about to disappear into the darkness, Lu Yue couldn't help but speak.

"Fellow."

When Lu Yue saw Shen Lian looking back, he added with a heavy breath, "I am already doomed, I just want to know whether the Eight Tribes will be destroyed."

"No." Shen Lian paused for a few breaths and added: "The ones you have come into contact with are the Starfire Inheritance of the Eight Divisions, and so am I."

"No wonder."

Lu Yue smiled and nodded, then put away the sweat-stained copper coin.

According to the hexagrams calculated by the eight divisions, the result is a 100% chance of survival.

But when he included Shen Lian in the calculations, he found that the Eight Divisions became uncertain, and the only hope was actually on this disciple of Patriarch Bodhi.

"Are you here for the Peach Banquet?"

"kindness."

Lu Yue swallowed pills one after another, and his flesh, blood and bones suppressed the parasitism in the roots of the peach tree.

"It was Queen Mother of the West who arranged for the Plague Department to be stationed in Pantao Garden. I thought she was doing this to prevent any accidents. Now that I think about it, Queen Mother of the West may no longer be Queen Mother of the West."

Shen Lian remained silent. Another name for the Queen Mother of the West is the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool in the Qu chapter.

【Qu Chapter】

[The Qu chapter was born from ****, also known as Qu, who was attached to the Golden Mother of Yaochi in the heaven. He was ***** and became ****. He liked human heads and hated women. He could transform into **** through ****. Remember, remember, you must not look directly at his true appearance. ]

Lu Yue stood up with a wry smile, "I accidentally saw the little finger of the Queen Mother's right hand was completely twisted into a vortex shape. I asked a question at that time and caused a big disaster. Alas."

"Senior Lu Yue, take care."

Shen Lian bowed respectfully, after all he had pretended to be the God of Plague.

"Take care. The Seven Fairies came to the Peach Garden to pick twenty-three peaches."

Lu Yue's flesh and bones dissolved bit by bit and he got into the cracks in the wall. "Next I will test the Queen Mother of the West. You just wait and see."

Without waiting for Shen Lian's response, Lu Yue had already quietly escaped.

Shen Lian received the message from the starling and quickly headed to the depths of the third peach forest.

Not long after, more than a dozen familiar figures appeared before their eyes, including not only the eight gods of the Ghost Market, but also Ghost Dad.

The ghost dad embraced the nine-toothed rake transformed by the ghost mom, with two stupid fish on his left and right. At the same time, the great immortal Tiger Power, the great immortal Deer Power, and the Wansui Fox King were all covered in wounds and followed the lead of the ghost dad.

After Zheng Lun noticed Shen Lian, instead of being surprised, he felt helpless.

Even if Shen Lian is already an earthly immortal, it is useless to keep him in Yao Chi's memories. There is no need to take the risk and participate. There will always be a chance to become a celestial immortal in the future.

Ghost Dad's brows relaxed and he waved for Shen Lian to come over.

"Ah Lian, take a look at the fruit on the tree to see if it is a peach. This is what the peaches will taste."

Shen Lian looked closely and saw a string of grape-shaped insect eggs hanging on the branches.

The eggs were crystal clear, with a worm curled up in a vortex wriggling in the center, almost exactly the same as the giant earthworm recorded in Qupian.
