Chapter 277 The Fall of Qingqiu
Chapter 277 The Fall of Qingqiu
After simply sorting out your thoughts within the system, the system will generally disappear after completing its task.
Si Lingyue solemnly told Qin Baiqing that she must go into seclusion, and left only after seeing her nod. When Qin Baiqing opened her eyes again, she found herself being taken on the way back.
The three human forces all went back, the dragon clan was liquidated, and the remaining fox and phoenix clans also went back to deal with the subsequent mess. No one stayed in the ruins of the war.
All the members of the alliance, including the Xinghai Sect, are now on their way back.
When she woke up, Xing Zhi, Feng Budu, and Xiao Xingyun were all by her side. She glanced at the few people with confusion, as the atmosphere seemed a little tense.
But after asking, no one explained the reason. Qin Baiqing herself was also thinking about her retreat, so after saying goodbye to a few people, she ran to pack the things she needed for her retreat.
After she left, Xingzhi's smile instantly faded, and she asked Feng Budu in a cold voice: "Are you really the one behind all this?"
He actually realized only now that the reason Feng Budu targeted the Dragon King and shot him down in public was just to snatch the formation crystal from the Dragon King's hands.
Even when the Dragon King was in the early stages of setting up the formation, Feng Budu intervened and had already planned to use the Dragon King to obtain the crystal.
What’s the difference between this and the mastermind behind this!
She couldn't accept it, and the indignation she felt during the war broke out again: "This matter concerns the safety of the cultivation world. How could you do such a thing that disregards everyone's life and death just to make a profit for yourself? If I don't ask, will you keep it a secret from everyone?"
All the timidity that he had subconsciously shown in front of Feng Budu disappeared, and the gentleness and tolerance on his face were gone.
The wind does not cross and remains indifferent.
He lifted his eyelids nonchalantly, raised his eyebrows and asked calmly: "What's the point of asking? Even if you knew it from the beginning, what can you change?"
"Can you stop me?"
"you--!"
"Okay," Xiao Xingyun pulled the two apart, and reminded Xingzhi in a rare gentle tone, "You have more important things to do. Xinghai Sect has made an extraordinary contribution this time. We should use the turmoil in the alliance to accumulate reputation for Xinghai Sect. This should be done without delay."
Yukieda was persuaded to leave, her back tensed with anger, her whole body emitting the smell of gunpowder that could explode at any moment.
After she left, Xiao Xingyun sat across from Feng Budu leisurely, crossed his fingers and said slowly: "I figured out something."
Without waiting for Feng Budu to answer, he continued:
"You were too busy to handle everything by yourself, and it took you several attempts to figure out the secret... Young Master Situ actually has special eyes, and he almost deceived me. I just realized that he also contributed to this. It's a pity that he used the blessing of heaven for such an evil purpose."
He paused, and continued calmly but firmly:
"In this case, what we are seeking is not just the crystal of the formation. The stars show that there will be great fortune after the innate fire, and there will be no blame. It is said to make money. It reminds me that the dragon clan has countless treasures and has fallen into the hands behind the scenes."
The dragon clan is the one that loves collecting treasures the most.
The dragon clan was badly hurt this time, and the spoils were reserved early by Feng Budu and the other two.
Feng Budu sighed softly. Although he didn't answer, his attitude said it all.
A communication talisman broke the awkward atmosphere, and it was Li Jiuxing's unstable voice: "My clan urged me to go back. It is inconvenient for me to stay in Xinghai Sect for long. I have to leave first. We will meet again when we have time."
The communication talisman disappeared in a hurry, which seemed to indicate something unusual.
As soon as the communication talisman appeared, Xiao Xingyun sensed something. He tilted his head and pondered for a while before saying to Feng Budu solemnly, "The Lihuo has fallen, and there is something wrong with Qingqiu. The Heavenly Dao reminds you to go there."
Before he finished his words, Qin Baiqing, who had followed Li Jiuxing's message, raised her hand without a second thought: "I want to go, too. You can't go to Qingqiu without me." The Fox Emperor's instructions not long ago echoed in Qin Baiqing's ears, constantly reminding him that he was far from as calm as he seemed.
"You can't go," Feng Budu refused mercilessly: "Go back and retreat."
"I have props..."
Unconvinced, she flipped through the system and showed the reward: "My mother said that using this treasure can help me recover to my peak cultivation level for three days." She paused and added quickly, "It will not burden my body." This completely blocked Feng Budu's reason to refuse.
She vowed to go, so Xiao Xingyun had no choice but to put away his disapproval and watched the two of them leave in silence. At the end, he let out a long sigh.
Qingqiu fell, but it was too late.
Qin Baiqing and his companions rushed to the demon tribe without stopping. Before they got close to Qingqiu, they were always surrounded by an uneasy atmosphere. Until they saw the fall of Qingqiu, the heavy worry in their hearts finally came true.
As the Dragon King struggled to his death, a crazy and tyrannical aura echoed over Qingqiu, covering the sky with a layer of dark clouds.
The fox tribe was caught off guard and was conquered by the Dragon King while celebrating their victory. He found the Fox Emperor, who had been firmly opposed to him from the beginning to the end, compared to the Phoenix tribe who had been watching with great force. Even though he knew that his defeat was irreversible, he still lost his mind and took revenge on Qingqiu.
When Qin Baiqing arrived, all she saw was a mess.
Fox demons lay dead, giant trees collapsed, the long-standing and prosperous vitality was violently destroyed, the air of death permeated the sky above the secret realm, mixed with the damp vitality that dissipated when the giant trees were damaged, and a faint sense of compassion shrouded the earth.
The most intense center of the ruins was Li Yuqi's puppet body with one limb missing. The white fox drooped helplessly in a deep pit, its pupils gray and shrouded in a layer of gloom.
……
"I miscalculated," Feng Budu remained silent all the way. After seeing Li Yuqi, he finally spoke in a deep voice: "I overestimated the character of the Dragon King." He didn't expect that he would take revenge at all costs.
The human race is concentrated in a large group, and the Phoenix clan has the traitor Qingming who is considered a semi-collaborator. Only Qingqiu, which is far away from human habitation but can contribute a lot, is the most suitable.
When they arrived at the heart of the area, only the dying Fox Emperor was left. The Dragon King's breath was still there, but he was nowhere to be seen. Qin Baiqing could feel the huge amount of feedback that the two powerful demon kings brought to the world when they died together.
Li Jiuxing arrived first and was standing beside the Fox Emperor with a lonely look on his face. His aura had fallen to the extreme and he was about to die.
With his last breath, he lovingly wiped away the tears that Li Jiuxing hadn't even noticed, and smiled weakly at Qin Baiqing: "My time is coming soon, girl, do you still remember my instructions?"
After saying this, his face tightened in pain. Regardless of Li Jiuxing's panicked attempts to stop him, he forcibly dug out his demon pill and gave it to Qin Baiqing, "Give... this thing to your mother to refine."
"Xing'er, you will inherit all my demonic powers after taking this. The responsibility of Qingqiu will be handed over to you. Please don't blame your father for my hasty farewell."
He hurriedly explained everything and closed his eyes with peace of mind. A gust of spiritual wind dissipated in an instant, and his soul returned to the depths of Qingqiu, merging with the damaged giant tree. For thousands and millions of years thereafter, he witnessed the resurrection of Qingqiu invisibly.
But for Li Jiuxing, if it no longer exists, it no longer exists.
His arms felt empty, and all traces of the Fox Emperor's existence disappeared completely. He stared blankly at his bloody hands for a long time. When he raised his head again, his eyes were red, and the cold flame of hatred burned fiercely.
"My father and the Dragon King died together."
He stood up, his brows grim, his stature already taller than Qin Baiqing without him noticing. Behind him were the ruins of Qingqiu and the winds of godliness everywhere, all of which were traces of the foxes' souls returning to the giant trees when they died.
He was unwilling to give up, and asked in a paranoid and confused manner: "Who should I take revenge on?"
The pollution that keeps seeping in, or the law of nature that just stands by and watches.
There is one in front of me.
"Where's Duan Yao?" Qin Baiqing pursed her lips, put away the demon pill and tried to stabilize Li Jiuxing: "Let's go find Duan Yao first. He rescued the Dragon King."
"He ran away."
"Before you came, I dug up the Dragon King's dragon ball."
