Chapter 319 Immortals and Demons Go Against the Odds, Geniuses Never Die 23
"This matter has to start from the great war between immortals and demons more than 500 years ago..." This time there was no one to disturb him. Shan Tu narrated the whole story while eating ice cream.
That great war had involved all the creatures in the world. The ghosts were also inevitably doomed, even though the ghost king wanted to remain neutral. But if they didn't take sides, neither the demons nor the gods would let them go. In order to save her entire clan, she had no choice but to choose between the two.
As ghosts, in principle, they would not side with immortals or humans. After all, in each other's eyes, they hated each other. But the amazing thing was that when everyone thought that the ghost king would choose the demon team, she led the whole tribe to join the human team.
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Shuangjiang was amazed. "This is different from the rumors."
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Oh, don't interrupt me, let me finish first." Shan Tu took the opportunity to take a few more bites of ice cream. She found that it tasted better than biting it.
"This has to do with the wisdom and bravery of our previous king. She had long seen that the demons were no match for the gods, so even though she didn't like them, she chose to join their team."
"Humph, but those despicable gods and humans wiped out our achievements and existence afterwards. After defeating the demons, they immediately pointed their guns at us. Without even taking a breath."
At this point, Shan Tu's longing expression immediately turned sinister, which was in line with her identity.
"Wait, something is wrong here. The version I heard was that your ghost clan joined the demon clan, and was highly praised for providing timely enemy intelligence many times?" Hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang couldn't help but speak again.
"Hehe, well, we can't just directly offend the Demon King on the surface." At this moment, Shan Tu's eyes were wandering, and he clearly looked guilty.
Qin Shuangjiang and Leng Nuan looked at each other and understood.
I guess the previous Ghost King’s explanation to both sides was, “I pretended to join the enemy’s camp in exchange for information.” Wow, he’s trying to be a double agent/play Infernal Affairs.
"What happened next?" Leng Nuan asked.
"Then we have to praise our king, who is wise and brave, and has foresight like a god!" Having said this, Shan Tu stood up excitedly, clasped his small hands together, and looked into the distance with sparkling eyes.
"Although the king has joined the gods, he has never trusted them. So, when the God of War in Heaven led the heavenly soldiers to besiege us, our king put all his efforts into creating a new field. That is, here. Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter here."
"And you can't get out, right?"
Shan Tu nodded, his eyes sad. Yes, they, all the ghosts, could not get out.
"But don't worry, you are not ghosts from the ghost clan, you can go out." Afraid that they would worry about him and not be able to get out, Shan Tu put aside his own thoughts and comforted them.
"Pfft... you little devil king are quite interesting." Qin Shuangjiang was amused by her words. Although the other party was definitely more than four years old, judging from her words and actions, she was no more than five years old. Qin Shuangjiang stood up, walked forward, bent down, stretched out his hand, rubbed her little mushroom head and thanked her: "Thank you for your concern."
Shan Tu had never been treated like this before. She was completely stunned. After the other party took his hand away, she shouted angrily, "Who, who, who allowed you to touch my head! Rude human!"
Qin Shuangjiang saw that she was not angry, so he wanted to tease her and said playfully, "Ah, sorry, I'm not human."
"Eh? Really! Then what are you?" No wonder she always felt that the "person" in front of her gave her a strange feeling. It turned out that she had no human smell.
"As for me, I am..." Qin Shuangjiang moved closer to her, revealing his fox ears. His bright black eyes instantly turned crimson, and his pupils erected.
“…” It’s a fox~
"I say, why are you using your charm on a child?" Leng Nuan looked at Shan Tu, who was blushing so much that she was about to smoke. She reached out and touched the other person, but there was no reaction at all.
"Oops, sorry, I used too much force." Qin Shuangjiang apologized to Shan Tu without any regrets, and then complained to Leng Nuan: "This is all because of you."
"Huh?" What does this have to do with her?
"Humph, it's because you always don't react that I suspected my charm was ineffective. That's why I accidentally overexerted myself."
"Wait, when did you use charm on me?" Leng Nuan asked suspiciously.
"..." Forget it, Qin Shuangjiang sighed helplessly. She couldn't continue talking like this. If she continued talking, she felt like she was just humiliating herself.
"You don't have to use charm on me. To me, you are the most charming person I have ever met." Seeing that Qin Shuangjiang seemed to be very concerned about this issue, Leng Nuan said again.
Qin Shuangjiang looked at Leng Nuan in surprise. She thought she was being dragged into a fantasy world again. But when she saw the serious look on the other person's face, she confirmed her current state.
How on earth can this person say sweet words so seriously? Hmph, never mind, just take it as a compliment to her.
"How did she wake up in this state?" Leng Nuan pointed at Shan Tu and asked. She still had some questions to ask her.
Logically speaking, as a ghost, she couldn't feel many things. However, the coldness on his face made her shiver.
"It's so cold." Shan Tu shivered and looked around blankly. When her eyes were about to meet Qin Shuangjiang's, she blushed and quickly looked away, not daring to touch him. What a vixen! What a vixen!
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. We still have questions for you."
"Since your king is so concerned, there should be some way to resolve the problem."
"You are right. Our well-thought-out king has made all the arrangements." Shan Tu became interested again after hearing what Leng Nuan said. "The way to break it is for the new ghost king to tear the domain apart and let the ghost world return to the human world!"
But just after saying this, Shan Tu's face fell again. "It's a pity that hundreds of years have passed, and none of us have broken through to the level of a ghost king."
"In other words, as long as I help you find a ghost king, you can get out, right?" Leng Nuan said indifferently.
"You're going to help us return to the human world?!"
"You're going to help them return to the human world?!"
The demon and the ghost were shocked by these casual words.
"Well, I'm probably more than 70% sure." I don't know how good Madam Ruan's cultivation is now? If the ghosts can't get out or in, then she can only open this place when she becomes the ghost king.
"Benefactor! If you are willing to help us leave here, we ghosts are willing to be at your disposal!" Before they knew it, the hall was filled with ghosts. At this moment, they knelt on the ground and called out in unison.
Among so many ghosts, there are naturally some with neat looks and some with terrifying looks. Qin Shuangjiang was very experienced. The moment they appeared, she closed her eyes and hugged the person next to her tightly, burying her head in her arms and refusing to come out. She completely forgot to ask Leng Nuan why she wanted to help the ghosts leave here.
"Let them leave first." "There's no way to chat like this." Leng Nuan reached out and patted Qin Shuangjiang's back to comfort him while making a suggestion to Shan Tu.
"One last question." After the ghosts left, Leng Nuan asked again: "Although I don't know how powerful the previous ghost king is, it is not easy to break through the air and open up a field.
"Does she have any help, or something to help her complete it?"
"How do you know?" Only she knew this kind of thing, why did this human also know it! Shan Tu was shocked and alert.
"Guessed." Leng Nuan answered immediately.
Huh, that’s what she said, how could others know about such a thing.
"There really is such a thing. I'll take you to see it."
They thought that such a thing would be placed in a very hidden place in the city. But when they arrived at the place, they saw that this mysterious and powerful thing was on the ground outside the city.
It was a very large, black totem with extremely complex and incomprehensible patterns.
Leng Nuan went forward and studied it carefully. Facing this spell, she always had a familiar feeling in her heart. She was about to catch something, but it always slipped away from her mind in an instant.
They came here inexplicably and left inexplicably. By the time they realized what was happening, Zhong Renren had already returned to the courtyard of Jingfan Temple. The scene before them also shocked them.
"Isn't this place destroyed? Why is it exactly the same as when we came here?"
"We have already been to such a weird place, what is this place?" Zhou Tong quickly accepted the current situation.
"That's right." Ni Zhou nodded. It was all inexplicable anyway, so there was nothing strange about one more thing.
After counting the number of people, Leng Nuan didn't have time to explain to them. Her expression looked a little serious, so her words also carried a hint of command: "Everyone, return to Xuantian Nine Gates."
The few of them were tactful enough not to ask any more questions. They took out their swords and prepared to fly.
"Leng Nuan," Qin Shuangjiang called out subconsciously when he saw Leng Nuan also stepped onto the sword.
Leng Nuan looked at her, nodded, and simply replied: "I'm leaving first, goodbye."
“Okay, bye.”
Seeing this, the others also said goodbye to him. Suddenly, the courtyard, which was bustling just now, became quiet.
"The man has flown far away, not even a trace of him can be seen. What are you still looking at?"
"Do you want to be a wife-watching rock here?"
Lingzhi seized the opportunity and continued to mock without hesitation: "It's really surprising that the young master of the fox demon clan is actually bewitched by a human. If this gets out, where will our fox clan put its face~"
"If you don't want to return to your tribe, just leave on your own."
"I'm not going back." She still had to complete her life's work. Thinking of her goal, Lingzhi turned and left.
Now, Qin Shuangjiang was the only one left in the yard. She suddenly remembered where this place was and felt a chill in her heart. When she was about to leave, a familiar and gentle male voice sounded behind her.
"Young Master has really worked hard to revitalize the fox tribe."
"Why are you here?" Seeing the person coming, Qin Shuangjiang's expression became complicated, with joy and resistance.
The man in black clothes approached her steadily and said in a friendly manner: "Thank you for your hard work, young master."
"Nothing..." Qin Shuangjiang was about to answer that it was fine, but she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She looked at him in disbelief and wanted to ask why, but when she opened her mouth, she just spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Sixian ignored the hot blood on his face and answered her gently: "For the future of the fox clan, please die, young master."
