Chapter 106 Double Agent
On the central altar of the underground palace, a cloud pillar made of black boulders slowly rose. It was engraved with strange runes and emitted a faint fluorescence, which looked particularly strange.
Ni Hua quietly approached the edge of the formation, taking every step carefully and lightly. She stood quietly under the stage, mixed with many people in black, and she looked up at the altar. As for "herself", she asked the "painting spirit" to quietly stay in place for her while the demons were dancing wildly.
She looked at the faint magic energy overflowing from the ring on her wrist, took out a small fragment of mirror from her arms, and reflected a corner of the formation with the faint light. The image flickers.
She mixed in the crowd and continued to observe carefully, trying to find a trace of life in this chaos. The demon world lacks spiritual power, so she can only learn spirit painting and swordsmanship. The rest are some forbidden skills that Xi Yan once taught. There are no special killing skills. In other words, there is no time to learn other skills. She can't eat a big fat man in one bite, so she I seriously doubt that I got the script of The Beautiful Wife.
A gust of wind blew by, and there seemed to be a whisper: "The time has come, are you ready?" The familiar yet unfamiliar voice shocked her heart.
The succubus responded in a low voice: "Do it."
Nihua watched quietly as a silent understanding formed between them, and began to move quietly, taking advantage of the people around them. Using his fanaticism as a cover, he shuttled through the crowd, revealing a decisiveness and courage in his movements, and took the opportunity to approach the center of the altar.
Taking advantage of this chaos, the succubus took the opportunity to escape.
The solemn ceremony was suddenly interrupted. Ni Hua quietly raised her head. She looked at the top Situ Qianxun and glanced around casually. Then, Situ Qianxun showed a strange look. With a pleasant smile, Nihua felt a chill coming from the bottom of her heart. She kept her steps in place and did nothing.
The light in the underground palace was dim, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance. The chaotic movements of the crowd seemed to be stopped. Those who escaped immediately froze in place as if they had been cast a restraining spell. Their shadows swayed and swayed, and they raised their heads. In the invisible void, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes peering in the dark.
Gradually, the crowd around them gradually lost themselves. They stood there, with a fanatical and empty expression on their faces, as if their souls had been extracted.
"No, it's soul-taking." Nihua looked at their gradually slower movements and finally saw something, and she cursed in her heart.
Ni Hua learned many forbidden techniques, but this one was taught to her by Xi Yan over and over again. There are very strict conditions for using this technology, and I didn't expect that it would actually be seen in my lifetime.
It turns out that there is an unknown conspiracy hidden behind the sacrificial ceremony - Soul Capturing, a forbidden technique that can control people's hearts and replace their beliefs. It converts the beliefs in the heart into loyalty to others, and gradually changes Be willing to do everything for the other person.
No wonder, no wonder Situ Qianxun, one of the four demon lords, dared to directly confront the demon lord. Her confidence was not just because of the soul-calling banner, but because of mental control.
Situ Qianxun was actually able to imprint a soul on a person.
In other words, everyone here will become Situ Qianxun’s followers.
Just when everyone was in a trance and about to fall completely under the control of the spell, Nihua's eyes suddenly met with a person's.
Xi Yan stood casually, with one foot hanging slightly. Looking from a distance, it was difficult to see his expression clearly.
Ni Hua breathed out slowly. She felt very bad now, very, very bad. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.
At this moment, Xi Yan seemed to sense something. His eyes suddenly opened with a strange light shining in them.
Ni Hua watched the completion of the whole ceremony in a daze. She pretended to have been tricked and followed the others to take the oath to bleed. She looked at her scars with numbness on her face.
Finally, she was sent out of the underground palace by Situ Qianxun.
When she opened her eyes again, Nihua looked at the familiar demon sect and the sunset outside. The afterglow shone on the window, and she looked down at her own shadow.
She's back.
Everything in the underground palace was like a mirror, and she still had an unreal feeling. In order to make sure that she had indeed left, she looked down at her intact communication jade, and looked up. The date displayed. She was sure that seven days had passed since she left the underground palace.
Pushing the door open, Nihua saw two familiar demon generals. When she opened the door and looked inside, she saw a pair of eyes in the dark. It was a demon general who came to monitor her. The moment Nihua met the demon general's eyes, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart. She knew that the other party had been tricked, otherwise, the other party would not have looked at her like a person.
The scariest thing about soul-stirring is not that you have experienced what you have experienced, but that you clearly remember it, but there will be no emotional ups and downs in your heart, and even some unreasonable opinions are used to prohibit the spell. After hearing it from someone else's mouth, you will begin to agree with the other person's point of view.
Ni Hua stayed in her room in a daze, looking outside at the sky. She clearly remembered that she was awake at the time and was not under control, but she couldn't help but give birth to An illusion, like the reflection she saw on the river bank of the underground palace.
In the courtyard, the golden glow of dusk fell on the mottled stone road, and there was a bit of coolness in the silence. The leaves outside the house were rustling. Nihua watched Xi Yan, covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, slowly walking towards her, with steady steps and an indifferent expression. , as if everything is under control.
Nihua stood there looking at him with no guilt in her eyes. She felt mixed feelings in her heart. She looked down at the incompletely healed wound in her hand. With a "pop" sound, the communication jade in her hand It fell to the ground.
Xi Yan slowly brought his hands together and hid them in his sleeves. He raised his eyelids and looked at Ni Hua quietly without saying a word.
Nihua's black hair is like clouds, hanging in front of her body, her thin figure is crumbling, the expression on her face is cold, "You have big ideas, you know everything."
It's always like this, he's different from what she said! What if she was more stupid and really fell into this trap. She thought of the tall towers with a chill. Wouldn't that be exactly what he wanted...
Seeing Nihua turn around and leave, Xi Yan finally stopped pretending to be dead. He looked at Ni Hua with gloomy eyes and raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, "I didn't mean to let senior sister take risks. The matter is over, senior sister, you can doubt me as much as you like, but what I want to say is..."
Xi Yan walked faster and caught up with her. He gently opened his palm, and the mysterious jade pendant lay quietly in his palm, and then slowly handed it to Ni Hua. The whole movement was smooth and meaningful. profound.
“Some roads, once you step on them, you can never look back.”
Xi Yan’s words fell gently, without too much explanation, just a calm statement, but in the Nihua's heart stirred up waves. Xi Yan's eyes were deep, as if he could see through her hesitation and struggle, but he didn't force him, he just waited quietly for her decision.
Ni Hua looked at him, lowered his head, and stared at the jade pendant in his hand. This piece of jade has a warm color and restrained luster, with complex runes engraved on its surface. What ordinary jade can resist all evil spirits. Perhaps she already has the answer in her mind. This is one of the four spiritual weapons that the first sect lost. To why it ended up in his hands. appeared in her hands again. And everything was too coincidental, which made her suspicious.
Xi Yan walked towards her, but did not explain the ins and outs to her, but he chose to use a cruel method to let her see what kind of path she had chosen.
Obviously, Xi Yan's ability to gain Situ Qianxun's trust and work under her hands is not only explained by gaining Situ Qianxun's appreciation. This incident did not happen just once.
Complex emotions surged in Nihua's heart. Do you regret it? Reality is often crueler than imagined. Without him, perhaps she would have fallen in this bloody storm, heading towards a tragic road from which there is no turning back. road.
Ni Hua's half-concealed eyebrows and eyes were lowered. She looked towards him. That charming face seemed to have lost the innocence that had long existed in her consciousness. Now, facing the task given by Situ Qianxun , Nihua decided to take advantage of the situation.
"I understand." Nihua said, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, but more of a determination.
She has to psychologically get rid of the kind of independence that no one will come to help her. Once she accepts this task, it means that she will become a pawn to monitor the mysterious devil at any time. Do any task that may put you on the verge of life or death.
Seeing that her face had returned to calm, Xi Yan nodded slightly, with an imperceptible smile on his lips. "Sister, you just need to remember that you don't need to belittle yourself."
......
With the help of "prophecy", Nihua took the initiative to eliminate demons in order to better complete her mission. She got an official position in front of the leader of the church, and she stayed by his side to keep abreast of his developments.
Nihua sat under the dim oil lamp, her pretty face a little pale. She held a magic pen in her hand, carefully recording the leader's daily words, deeds, and decisions. Whenever she completed a secret report, she would fold it carefully, then record the words, and then turn them into traces of spiritual power and flow into Situ Qianxun's territory.
Nihua showed her loyalty, and she would report the current situation of the leader to Situ Qianxun every now and then.
During this period, in addition to receiving reports of safety from his senior brother, Nihua also received a secret letter from his senior brother who had been offline for a long time. The letter mentioned: "Within the demon sect, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, not only demons but also demons." There are also many cultivators lurking in the sect with unknown intentions. You need to be more careful and try to contact them. You may find new opportunities."
After reading, Ni Hua raised an imperceptible smile. Smile. It turns out that Director Yun got into it and was waiting for an opportunity.
As time goes by, Director Yun gradually discovers that there is indeed a group of undercover agents from various major cultivating sects hidden within the Demon Sect. He began to consciously approach these immortal cultivators, ostensibly exchanging insights, but in fact secretly observing, looking for the right time to integrate this valuable information, and contribute to the plan to ultimately destroy the Demonic Cult.
As the night grew darker, the lights of the Demon Sect's main altar were dimmed, and lanterns of various colors swayed in the night wind, reflecting the intricate outline of the building. Her residence is located in the corner of the main altar, simple and secluded. Outside the window is the rolling mountains. The occasional roar of unknown creatures can be heard, adding a bit of chill to the silent night.
Ni Hua was called up to work in the middle of the night. At the same time, there were also shadow guards who were secretly summoned by the leader. When those people left, they glanced at Ni Hua sharply and then dressed in black. The clothes seemed to blend into the surrounding shadows.
And Nihua waited for a long time before it was his turn to report Situ Qianxun's movements to the leader.
Yes, she is a double agent.
The leader's voice was low and majestic, but his few words revealed the major events that were about to happen.
"It is said that the Demon Lord is going to the 'Secret Realm' of the Demon Realm to find a rare opportunity in a thousand years."
Ni Hua honestly explained that the leader did not reply for a long time. His pair of deep eyes narrowed and when he looked at Ni Hua, There was an unquestionable determination in his words.
Hearing that Situ Qianxun was going to seize the opportunity, the leader of the Demon Cult sent Ni Hua over. The leader told her in a few words what she should pay attention to, and Ni Hua quietly asked the leader for information.
When the Guardian Zuo was seriously injured, Nihua expressed her condolences deeply. She knew in her heart that the news of the Zuo Guardian's serious injury must be inextricably linked to this mission.
The leader looked slightly gloomy and sighed softly: "You must be careful during this trip. The secret realm is extremely dangerous and dangerous, and there are many masters around Situ Qianxun."
Nihua's heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface. The leader asked her if she had any other "prophecies".
She decided to elaborate on an event she had recently recalled that happened in the future. She said: "According to my prediction, in a few months, the celestial phenomena will change. Anyone who tries to overcome the disaster will They will all face unprecedented challenges, and almost no one will be spared."
Hearing this, the leader frowned, and after a moment of silence, he neither said he believed it nor said he didn't believe it. He simply told: "Okay, we need to be alert to this news. You set off immediately."
Ni Hua took the order and retreated, and began to plan the next step. Her ability to use force is low, and she is prepared to grow in obscurity.
A few days later, the group quietly arrived at the edge of the secret realm.
The secret realm is surrounded by clouds and mist, with towering ancient trees. From time to time, strange birdsong sounds penetrate the mist, making it appear both mysterious and dangerous. She made people go ahead to explore the way. The Shadow General of the Demon Realm moves swiftly and silently, like a nocturnal leopard, shuttling through the forests of the Demon Realm.
Suddenly, there was a fierce fighting sound not far away, accompanied by shrill screams. Ni Hua's heart tightened and she quickly approached the source of the sound. Pushing aside the last bush, the sight before her shocked her: a group of people in various costumes were fighting fiercely, with swords and swords in the shadows, and blood dyed the surrounding grass red.
Ni Hua immediately realized that this place had become a battlefield where all means were used to fight for opportunities. Although she had expected it, seeing this cruel scene with her own eyes still gave her a chill.
She made a quick judgment and took the person in a low-key detour in an instant.
