Soul knot

The powerful monster force formed an invisible barrier in the sky and the earth. The water wall connecting the sky and the earth should have been more conspicuous than the howling hurricane, but it was blocked by it from the eyes of ordinary humans.

The moment the water wall shattered, a thin body curled up on the muddy riverside.

Blackened poisonous blood flowed out from his waist and abdomen, and in the torn blood-stained clothes, a tearing wound with flying flesh could be vaguely seen, carrying the poison that ordinary people would die if they touched it.

The poisoned person is already in a coma, and there is more than one wound all over his body.

He did wait for Mu Shenshan, but he also waited for Tan Wenqing.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and the person who was enough to entrust his life and death has become very strange. Yan Zhaomu never thought that there would be such a day, and he finally saw Mu Shenshan again. Mu Shenshan found a trace of familiarity in his eyes.

He originally thought that Mu Shenshan, who was willing to give up freedom and reincarnation for him, even if he would sacrifice his life in the end, would exchange him from Tan Wenqing, no matter how he changed, it would never hurt him at all.But when he really fought against it, he realized that all of this was just what he thought from the beginning to the end.

It turned out that Mu Shenshan was really capable of attacking him mercilessly, all he wanted was to defeat him as soon as possible, destroy the high wall behind him, and wipe out all the people behind the wall.

He didn't understand why Mu Shenshan became like this, he only knew that the more he resisted desperately, the more ruthless Mu Shenshan's offensive became.

Fortunately, he delayed long enough, and at the moment when his consciousness was completely blurred, Manzhu and Lu Yudong had already disappeared.

In the final analysis, the mispayment of trust is actually just another disappointment in despair.

Anyway, until now, there is nothing left to lose...

The person who called the wind and rain fell, the dark clouds gradually receded, and the rain gradually weakened.

The heavy rain that night came and went in a hurry.

Yong Zhou stood by the river, with almost icy eyes, quietly looking into the distance.

"It's better to let them run away." His tone could not distinguish between sadness and joy.

"Looking at how long it took you to solve Yan Zhaomu, who had consumed so much spiritual power, I thought you wanted to let them go on purpose." Tan Wenqing said with a smile, "Why, are you feeling emotional now?"

"You have been watching with cold eyes." Yong Zhou cast a disdainful glance at Tan Wenqing, and said, "If you want to make a move, you should have taken this kid down and broken the wall earlier, so that the red python and her little girl can run away." How far?"

Tan Wenqing took two steps forward while pinching his left arm, and said, "I just think that you might still want to give them a way out."

"I don't have any special friendship with them." Yong Zhou said, covering the hideous wound on his left arm, looking down at Yan Zhaomu who passed out at his feet, and said lightly, "He is a desperate sleepy man. Beast, you have hunted so many monsters, you should know how powerful a trapped beast will explode before dying."

"Indeed, I've seen it before. I misunderstood you." Tan Wenqing said, Yu Yan squatted down beside Chaomu, lifted the broken corner of his clothes, glanced at the purple and pus-oozing wound on his waist and abdomen, and said with emotion, "It seems that you are really ruthless."

"I told you earlier, there is no special friendship. If you make a move earlier, I won't get hurt... Don't act like you won't get hurt." Yong Zhou's eyes unconsciously looked at Yan Zhaomu who was covered in scars. Twist slightly, after a short hesitation, he turned his gaze elsewhere, "This guy, is it useless? What are you going to do with it?"

Tan Wenqing raised his eyes and asked, "Why is the 300-year-old snake demon useless?"

Yong Zhou frowned involuntarily, looked at Tan Wenqing coldly, and said: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, this is what you said yourself, if you want to dominate the world, you should not distribute your power to others."

Perhaps there are differences in the innate spiritual veins of the human and demon races. Humans and demons can easily obtain the power of the demon race after they become soulmates, but demons cannot obtain the power from humans.

Similarly, although demons and demons can bond souls, they cannot share anything other than longevity, pain, life and death, especially each other's power.

Tan Wenqing, who has done countless experiments with his own staff, knows this very well.

If not, he wouldn't dare to form a soul with a powerful goblin. After all, an overly powerful goblin is difficult to manipulate. If he can't ensure that the other party is weaker than himself, it's really uncertain who will control who after the soul ties.

Tan Wenqing wanted power, and more importantly, he wanted to make more and more monster catchers and goblins form souls for him to drive, but he absolutely didn't want any of his subordinates to surpass him.

In this world, he is enough to have a soul bond with a great demon.

If he wants to consolidate his strength, what he should do now is to let more and more of his subordinates continue to bond with ordinary little demons, and get rid of the human girl who is most likely to threaten him in the future——Lu Yudong.

No matter from which angle, he should no longer covet Yan Zhaomu's power.

However, Tan Wenqing stood up after being silent for a long time, and said lightly: "I have to choose a suitable fairy for Xiaojing. As I said earlier, this emerald green snake has good talent, and the water attribute it cultivates is just right for Xiaojing. They complement each other, they can be met but not sought after. Besides, he and Xiaojing have known each other before, so it will be easier for them to accept each other..."

Hearing this, Yong Zhou couldn't help sneering: "That apprentice of yours won't accept your kindness."

"One day she will understand." Tan Wenqing said with a smile, "Kindness is the most useless thing. Not only is it useless, but it is also difficult to stick to. The result of many things is far more important than the process. As long as you can get to that result, you don't have to be clean. Throughout the ages , but in all power struggles, how many of the victors have not had blood on their hands?"

"You shouldn't have taught her kindness in the first place."

"Not necessarily." Tan Wenqing said softly, "After I finish the despicable, dirty and shameful things, she won't have to do them."

"You people who care about you are full of weaknesses." Yong Zhou said, kicking Yan Zhaomu on the ground with his toes, and said calmly, "This guy, leave it to me for the time being, I promise to leave a note for him Life."

When Tan Wenqing heard this, complex emotions flashed in his eyes: "Didn't you say that you have some special friendship?"

Yong Zhou's mouth raised a trace of a smile, he knelt down, scratched the carrion on the wound with his fingertips, making his hands bloody, and said with a smile, "Suddenly I remembered that there is still a little bit of friendship."

***

On the way back to Zhongjiang with Lu Yudong, Manzhu ran into Qiyue and Shuli who met Ye Liujing on the way.

Seeing that they did not bring back Yan Zhaomu, the three of them all showed deep worry in their eyes.

But no one dared to ask what happened, everyone just rushed back with Manzhu.

Today's Lu Yudong is not what it used to be. Even Yan Chaomu may not be able to get absolute benefits from her. Who has the courage to say that he can save people who cannot be brought back by her cooperation with Manzhu?

In the early hours of that night, everyone returned to Zhongjiang.

The goblins who used to be in the bar quickly greeted them the moment they entered the building of the Monster Hunting Bureau, but the next second, seeing the solemn eyes of each of them, they roughly guessed the outcome of the matter.

Last time, when Mu Shenshan left, everyone was crying and asking why.

This time, no one asked questions, let alone cried, and everyone just accepted the fact silently.

Because at this moment, everyone's emotional breakdown is just adding to the sadness.

After a short break, Gou Hongjie took everyone to a more formal resting place.

It was the collective dormitory used by the demon management bureaus to accommodate the "experimental objects" rescued from Ji Ye. Now, some of these "experimental objects" have been completely reduced to demon slaves, and some have recovered their minds and returned to the world. Normal life was lost, so many rooms were vacated.

Everyone is now homeless, so Director Baihe tidied up the vacated rooms and temporarily provided them to the goblins who came out of the mountains.

These dormitories have five bunk beds for ten people. There is a table, a bed, and a private bathroom. There is hot water in the private bathroom. It is a bit crowded, but it is much more comfortable than sleeping on an office sofa.

But this night, Manzhu and Lu Yudong were not arranged into such a big dormitory, but were sent into a small cubicle with one bed.

This is the guest room of a little demon in the Demon Management Bureau. Because of the housing shortage, she also contributed her own room.

Places with better conditions will naturally accommodate important people.

Xiao Yao heard that the spiritual leader of the Yaozu has been arranged into her home, and she was so happy that she didn't fall asleep until the early morning. When the two arrived, they also prepared a simple supper for them.

It's just that Lu Yudong and Manzhu obviously didn't have much appetite, so they just ate some casually, and they just didn't want to disappoint Xiao Yao's kindness.

After entering the guest room, Manzhu laid a layer of soundproof enchantment, sat quietly by the bed, and fell into a long period of contemplation.

After a long time, Lu Yudong asked softly, "Can't sleep?"

"I don't know...my whole heart is in a mess." Manzhu said, lowering her eyelashes.

So many goblins firmly believe that she can bring a bright future to the goblin clan, but she just accepts orders in the face of danger.

He doesn't know strategy, is not good at making choices, and is not calm enough.

In the past, she looked like a mountain king in Shennongjia. To put it bluntly, she was just stronger than those little monsters in the mountains.

The king cobra was born to be the king of snakes, and Mu Shenshan was born more than a hundred years later than her, and her cultivation base is not much different. Now that Tan Wenqing has obtained Mu Shenshan's cultivation base, her strength must already be higher than hers.

Without the support of absolute power, what is left of her?

Is the Yaozu's support?

Let's not mention that Tan Wenqing has so many demon catchers with demon slaves under his command, but if the demon clan really wants to go to war with humans, many demon catchers who are not Ji Ye will definitely stand up to fight against the demon.

She knew that Yan Zhaomu had made the most suitable decision. If he succeeded, Tan Wenqing would die and the dragons of Jiye would be leaderless, and the Yaozu would be able to use the least sacrifice in exchange for a chance to negotiate terms with humans in a short period of time.

But she was just uneasy about it.

"I always feel that this matter... can't be so simple."

Lu Yudong was silent for a long time, and took out a black bead from his body.

Manzhu couldn't help frowning.

That is the secret that Mu Shenshan has kept for more than 2000 years...

"Little uncle left this, he didn't just want to say goodbye to little master." Lu Yudong smiled wryly.

"..."

"Look at it?" Lu Yudong said seriously, "Manzhu, I know you respect my uncle's wishes, even if he only wants the little master to know all this, the little master is gone... In the face of life and death, people have secrets .”
