Chapter 99 98. The Demon
The red copper bone is drooping, and the golden candle is silent.
The behemoths stood up in the mountains and stared at the dragon-shaped creatures in the clouds. There's not just one, there's a lot of them. They gathered together, and the sunlight hit the ferocious body, dragging shadows like a snake's long tail.
Li Xi'an felt peeping.
It comes from high heaven, or from the depths of Taihang.
Fish and dragons filled the sky, eating up his breath. Except for the naked eye that could detect him, any perception would think that this place was empty.
The behemoths who stood up and stared at the red dragon looked confused.
Because the intruder could not be caught, the red dragon in the clouds disappeared with the golden light in the sky. Not only the breath, but also the sight could not be seen.
Another order came down from the sky, and the demon roared.
Scattered in all directions, the mountains shook.
The king asked them to find the intruder.
…………
In the imperial capital, the weather was gloomy and breathless.
Today's imperial capital has undergone tremendous changes. This ancient capital has risen with recovery and expanded with the central imperial palace as its center.
Thousands of meters of ancient city walls rise from the ground, dark and cold, as if poured from molten iron. Each brick and tile is engraved with seal characters, protecting the imperial capital and still standing tall after two years of disasters.
Ancient civilization and modern civilization intersect, so you can see mahogany lofts and sacrificial temples standing among high-rise buildings. Sometimes I feel in a trance and don't know where I am.
The Black Crystal Building was once the social base of the Gu family, an ancient family that everyone respected.
After the owner of the family disappeared, it fell into the hands of the Zhao and Li families.
About a year ago, the building had a new owner with a high status. The gossips in the market do not dare to talk nonsense about a big shot of this level. Occasionally, they say a few words to know that the new owner is a young woman with extremely terrifying strength.
As the new owner took over the Black Crystal Building, there were several new faces that had never been seen before among the big shots in the imperial capital.
No one dared to object.
Whenever the lights on the top floor of this building light up, it indicates that the next demonic incident is coming!
People living in the imperial capital have unconsciously regarded this stern building as a beacon in a crazy and chaotic world.
And now, the lights of the Black Crystal Building are on again...
The lamp shone in the large conference room, and the gentle warm light seemed to temporarily dispel the cold air of early spring in the north, but it could not take away the heavy worries of these people.
"The tide of demons is becoming more and more frequent, and the consequences will be disastrous if it continues like this. The demons used to claim to have self-esteem, but in recent times they have acted like lunatics and are trying to kill us!" Zhao Xingzhou leaned on the back of his chair, his eyes full of confusion. Bloodshot.
In the past two years, he has matured so much that he is not like his past self.
Thanks to the Taihang Demon, young people under tremendous pressure have grown rapidly, especially a few of them. But the rapid progress did not bring them any joy. It was not difficult for him to take the helm of the ancient family in peaceful times, but suddenly, the world revived.
In the past two years, he prides himself on having excellent sleep quality and being as sleepy as a dead pig and unable to wake up at all. He has woken up countless times in the middle of the night.
The beginning of a nightmare.
One day two years ago, he had heart palpitations without any warning. He thought of something then. Ancient artifacts that could exert great power in the soulless era will be like a fish in water when the Day of Resurrection arrives. He took the fully revived ancient artifact and headed to the Taihang Mountains alone without telling anyone.
The mountain god of Taihang Mountain...disappeared.
Zhao Xingzhou encountered the pale and fierce tiger named Qingyan, who was bathing in blood deep in the Taihang Mountains.
Soon after the red dragon disappeared, Taihang Mountain became a land of demons. It seems that something knows that the red dragon has disappeared, and has laid out chess pieces. The demons dance wildly in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, and the shadows cover the sun.
Qing Yan is extremely powerful, and she sticks to that small island.
I have no fear of demons. Until the ancient figure walked out of the illusory courtyard, and that blow almost killed her. It should be said that the demon statue did not open its eyes and the Buddha's golden body appeared. The pale fierce tiger will definitely die from that blow!
Zhao Xingzhou realized at that time that the red dragon might really be dead.
Because as long as that life exists, even if it is not in Taihang, there is no way for evil spirits to cause trouble!
They later called the human form walking the earth in the illusory and mysterious realm the Ancient One. They possess terrifying cultivation abilities that are far superior to those in the current world, and their background is so profound that it is unimaginable. Because of the resurgence of heaven and earth, the solidified world can walk on the earth and seize the source of energy. The medium contained the source energy that the ancients needed, so they plundered this ancient mountain range wantonly. The rising beings who disobey can only die.
Taihang fell.
Most of the uncorrupted rising creatures followed Qing Yan to the human imperial capital, while a small number left the Taihang Mountains to find another home.
"The imperial capital must never give way to the ancients." The woman at the memory table said coldly.
Her hair color is a rare silvery white, and her eyes are gorgeous emerald green. It should be beautiful, but when you look into those emerald eyes, all you can think of is escape deep in your heart. This is the fear of apex predators in human genes!
Fierce Tiger Green Flame!
Half of the people on the conference table were big demons who had entered the pseudo-god realm, and half were humans holding activated ancient artifacts. Gu Jing then transmitted the contents of their meeting to the far distant assembly hall on the other side, allowing for real-time communication. Although Zhao Xingzhou and the others are the mainstay of the imperial capital today, maintaining the stability of the social structure requires the help of the elders, whose qualifications and abilities are more profound than those of the younger ones. The management of the imperial capital is so well-organized, and the seniors are indispensable.
Each meeting will be delivered to the Great Hall.
Of course, the Great Hall was generally silent. They are the backing of the imperial capital and do not interfere with where the swords and spears are thrust.
Qing Yan and Zhao Xingzhou sat at the front of the two positions respectively.
"What do you think the purpose of those ancient ones from the secret realm is?" Qing Yan asked.
"Occupy Taihang and plunder the source of Qi." Zhao Xingzhou replied.
"Then what's the purpose of their crazy attack on the imperial capital? I don't think you haven't thought about it."
Zhao Xingzhou was silent, he had indeed thought about it. But this thing is so terrifying. If the Ancients really succeed, they won't even have the need to resist anymore.
It's a dead end.
"Altar."
"Suppressed the Imperial Capital Altar of the Ancestor."
After he took charge of the Zhao family, he read many ancient books that had not been covered before. The ancestor of suppression does not come from this world, he comes from illusion. The ancestor described in the record tore open the sky and smashed his body into the earth. The stars dimmed and the mountains trembled. The bloody smell in that crack alone is enough to envelope the entire city.
There is no record of how this ancestor was suppressed.
This incident happened in a secret era, and it is not easy to spread such information.
The Ancestor appears in the same way that the Ancient One appears.
Maybe it was the people who came to greet their ancestors? Zhao Xingzhou guessed so. But no matter how he thought about it, the imperial capital could never be broken as Qing Yan said. He never wanted to see how powerful a complete ancestor could be!
"Tomorrow at the latest, tonight at the earliest, they should come again."
"Wait!" Zhao Xingzhou looked at the several big demons on the conference table. They had not yet entered the Yangshen. Although they could transform, they retained the characteristics of their original bodies.
Leopard heads, bird heads, and cow heads are lined up in order, plus the little girl sitting quietly at the end.
The big demons would usually use some simple tricks to fool ordinary people when walking in the market, but it was obviously unnecessary in this meeting.
At these words, the demons all stared at Zhao Xingzhou.
"Is there still a king in the Taihang Mountains now?" He lowered his voice.
"If not, how did the demonic incident break out in an ordinary way and become more and more intense? If there is, then who is the king of Taihang Mountain now?"
