Chapter 454: Xuan Zun is angry, blood splatters on the spotThe sound was not loud, but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears and resounded in every corner of the temple. Jiang Mo's meaning was very clear. This was the only time that an exception would be made for the guests present. As for the gifts they brought, he neither needed them nor was interested in them. The gifts in return were merely basic hospitality. After hearing the four options, everyone had different expressions. Several young people from Wanxiang Hall were at a loss and felt bewildered, while the older generation, such as Tian Jinzhong, Lu Ci, Gao Mei and others, suddenly became distracted, their brows dim, ripples in their hearts and a chill that penetrated into their bones. At the same time, the top leaders of the nine ministries who followed were several middle-aged men of unidentified identities. Their eyes lit up in an instant, and the previous haze of loss gradually faded away. This visit was not considered to be a complete failure. The demon king's blood, magic weapons, and skills are all extremely valuable treasures. If they are mastered by the top swordsmen and genetically awakened warriors, their role will be immeasurable. Some people were already losing their temper, but Xuan Zun was present, so they didn't dare to communicate privately, let alone act rashly. They just kept using their eyes to hint to Lu Ci, Gao Mei, and Tian Jinzhong. "." However, Lu Ci turned a deaf ear and was still immersed in Jiang Mo's words. Can he really go back to the past? Such an incredible method is even more outrageous than many myths. If he had not heard it with his own ears, if it had not been said by Jiang Mo, he would never have believed it at all. "Xuan Zun, I would like to ask, will the demon king's blood be useful to us for the rest of our lives?"
Shi Fengye said apologetically that this man had regular features and was handsome. When he asked questions, his eyes were bright and he did not dodge. He was someone who could uphold the reputation of the sect. At critical moments, he would directly answer whatever he wanted to ask without hiding anything. "Well, what is injected into you is the diluted blood of the demon king. It is equivalent to planting a blood seed in your body. How high you can reach in the future depends entirely on your practice. The stronger you practice, the richer the concentration of your blood will be, and you will gain all kinds of incredible increases." There was a hint of gentleness in Jiang Mo's eyes. The young man's behavior and conversation were only slightly like those of an old friend, but he still took him seriously. "The blood of the demon king! Is this the effect?" Several other disciples of Wanxiang Hall all showed expressions of amazement. I didn’t expect that Xuanzun would give such a heaven-shattering treasure as soon as he said he would, without any ambiguity. You know, the genetic blood agents involving extraordinary creatures are distributed among the Nine Departments and the Security Council, but only the most powerful ones are eligible to enjoy them, and the effect has been weakened many times. Members at their level cannot even touch it. I don’t know when I will receive the genetic blood extract extracted from the corpse of the demon king. In addition, the second magic weapon, the third skill, and the opportunity to return to the past, all these temptations immediately attracted several disciples of Wanxiang Hall, making them waver for a while. Especially the last one. "Is it really possible to go back to the past, rather than through internal vision, illusion or something like that? Xuanzun." Shi Fengye's eyes were filled with hope, and he was eagerly seeking confirmation. This was a method he had never heard of. From the surge in the number of extraordinary people in the past few years to the current revival of spiritual energy, although he had heard that there had been awakened people with time-related abilities in some cities, they were still a long way from traveling through time and returning to the past. "Ah." Jiang Mo met the young man's somewhat fiery gaze and nodded slightly: "So, you need to think carefully about it. When you go, you still have a certain amount of freedom. If you exceed that limit and don't want to come back, you will stay in that world forever. To our current world, you will completely disappear. Of course, you can also come back. It all depends on how you weigh the pros and cons. Your life will be meaningful no matter what choice you make." "." Shi Fengye's expression changed subtly. While the other junior brothers and sisters were still confused, he took a deep breath and speculated: "So, the place you sent us to is not the real past? In other words, even if we change the things we want to change, the world will not change at all?"
"Yes and no." Jiang Mo looked at him with appreciation. "Then this is no different from the inner scene and illusion." The junior sister Wan Ning who was accompanying them muttered something quietly, thinking it was nothing special. As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by Shi Fengye. He frowned and stopped such rude behavior. "Shut up, Junior Sister!" "You are shallow-minded and have not yet understood Xuanzun's intention." Seeing that her senior brother was about to get angry, the woman realized that she had made a big mistake by speaking without restraint, and explained in a panic: "Senior brother, Senior Xuanzun, I'm sorry, I'm not..." "It's okay, little guy. Since the little junior sister you mentioned didn't understand my intention, why don't you tell me?" As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the other people in the hall were involuntarily focused on Shi Fengye, curious about what unique insights he would come up with next. "I dare not guess what Xuanzun meant, nor can I figure it out, but I do have a certain understanding of the magic you mentioned. If there are any omissions or offenses, I sincerely ask for your forgiveness." Shi Fengye spoke modestly and behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely. "explain--" Jiang Mo picked up the teacup and put it to his lips, showing some interest in the young man's thoughts. "Yes." Then, Shi Fengye spoke fluently in front of everyone: "This is nothing more than a simple mathematical cognition. Does an infinite loop of equal 1?" "In theory, the two are equal. Whether it is a large and complex proof or a simple and rough proof, countless scholars have explained it. I will not go into details here." "I am using this as an example to say that if you, Xuanzun, have the ability to send us to a world where the deviations in the laws and contexts of development from the current world are almost infinitesimal." "Then, there is no doubt that the two worlds are actually the same, but people are affected by memory and emotion, and subconsciously feel that they do not belong there. Do you think I am right?" After his explanation, everyone felt as if the fog had been cleared. In response to this, Jiang Mo gave the following answer: "Mathematics is mathematics, and magic is magic. Although there are some tricks involved, your understanding is good, young man. It is basically the same as what you said." "I am not worthy of this honor. The main thing is that you have revealed enough information before. It is not difficult to understand it." As Shi Fengye said this, he noticed that several of his fellow disciples beside him had begun to waver. If the two worlds were the same, they would naturally want to go back and find out some secrets related to themselves. Lu Ci and Gao Mei, who were sitting at their seats, had their brows furrowed more and more. They wanted to speak but stopped themselves several times, with the words stuck in their throats. They wanted to ask, but did not dare to. "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it." "I have some private matters to attend to later, so I won't entertain you." Jiang Mo has already paved four roads. As for how to choose, it all depends on the wishes of these people. "Then, Senior Xuanzun, can you please stand at your level and make the decision for us juniors? Which one do you think we should choose to maximize our value?" A disciple from Wanxiang Hall asked timidly.
"I haven't experienced the life you've experienced, so it's hard for me to tell you what's right, but if you want to pursue force, you can choose between 1 and 3." With the perception of the Eye of Truth, Jiang Mo knew clearly what the other party wanted. That person wanted to go back to the past, but what he wanted more was the blood of the demon king. Not only him, but the thoughts of all the guests in the hall echoed clearly in Jiang Mo's heart. Several youngsters of Wanxiang Hall were eager for power, but they were afraid that they would not be able to control it, or even that it would not fall into their hands and they would be replaced by other elites of the Nine Divisions. Lu Ci of the Lu family had a calm expression but was extremely confused. He was almost unable to control himself all the time, but he just couldn't bring himself to save face. He ignored the instructions of his entourage and even looked displeased. Are you going to take the benefits of the favors my Lu family has paid? absurd. Given his experience, he knew without even having to think about what the higher-ups were planning. Gao Mei from the Tang Clan was in turmoil. She thought of her deceased relatives, master, etc., and felt as if she were in another world. Tian Jinzhong of the Tianshi Mansion felt that he was not worthy of such a generous gift and was ready to refuse it. He was very respectful to Jiang Mo and had no desire for any benefit. Zhang Chulan was stunned. He didn't expect this immortal to be so generous. It was a pity that the master's position would probably lean towards Senior Xuanzun. Based on his understanding of him, the old man might not dare to accept it, for fear of ruining the friendship between the two factions. He could only watch those precious treasures and would not be able to get them. Wait! What are you doing? Zhang Chulan, are you crazy? I am thinking about all these messed up things here. What if Xuan Zun knows about it? Hey, senior, don't blame me, don't blame me. Don't blame me! ! I'm already honest, please let me go! When Zhang Chulan was muttering to himself, the level 5 awakeners and high-level warriors who were present were also envious from the bottom of their hearts, and were even unsure whether they would get a share of the return gift. However, all these chaotic thoughts were captured completely by Jiang Mo. It was at this time that several middle-aged senior officials from the Nine Departments present cast meaningful glances at the younger generations from the Universal Hall, hoping that they would choose the blood essence of the demon king with the highest potential value. After a few minutes, seeing that the young people were still hesitating and wandering, several senior executives became more and more anxious, and even their eyes became cold, with subtle pressure and threats. At the same time, they also looked at Lu Ci, Gao Mei, and Tian Jinzhong, urging them continuously. They hope that everyone will choose the Demon King's blood essence. According to the information they collected some time ago, there may be more than 10 Demon Kings who died at the hands of the Trinity Sect. If everyone can get one and bring it back for the Sword Bearers to use, it will definitely have miraculous effects. Alternatively, you can choose the secret technique in item 3, and then pass it on to the other nine elite troops on a large scale, which is a sure win. "Choose! What are you standing there for? You are so confused!!" "Do you really want to go back to the past?" Several senior executives were so disappointed with the company that they gritted their teeth and muttered to themselves, feeling as anxious as ants on a hot pan. After another stalemate, Shi Fengye made a decision. There was a fleeting regret in the depths of his pupils, but it was quickly suppressed. He bowed his hands devoutly and said decisively: "Thanks to Xuanzun for his kindness, we, the younger generation, would be disrespectful to refuse. My fellow junior brothers and sisters and I will choose option 1." "it is good." Jiang Momu raised his hand and absorbed and refined the blood essence of the demon kings from the corpses of the demon kings in the sect's treasury. There were four kinds of blood: Zuwo, Zhunu, Wanfu, and Liuhou Jiao. Four different colored bloods immediately appeared on his palms, each with a beast-shaped phantom condensed in it, exuding thrilling power. "That is." "Four demon kings of different levels!!" Everyone gasped in shock as the blood essence of the six-headed dragon far surpassed those of Zu Wo, Wan Fu and Zhu Nu. "Yes, take them, kneel down and say thank you! Get them, get them!" "I made a profit! I made a profit! It's a top-notch six-headed dragon!"
"As long as we bring it back, we will achieve great success!" The three senior executives were extremely excited, and the smiles on their faces, which were originally restrained and normal, suddenly froze and they could no longer smile. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mo's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over them, shattering their delusions. "come on." Jiang Mo announced calmly: "I will personally refine blood for you to enter your bodies, which will also be considered as concluding the good relationship between me and my old friend." "What?!" Shi Fengye and the others' eyes suddenly lit up, and joy burst out like a mountain torrent. They knew what this meant. With their status and means, they cannot afford such a blessing. Even if they succeed, it does not belong to them and will be snatched away sooner or later. What Xuan Zun did was simply to ensure that they could truly enjoy the cleansing of the demon king's blood essence. Shi Fengye's body trembled slightly, as if he had been electrocuted. He suddenly knelt on one knee and said loudly: "I will never forget your kindness!" "I've said it before. Just remember the kindness of your master. You don't need to repay me." Jiang Mo smiled calmly, not taking it to heart. He just waved his hand gently, motioning the four people to come forward. The three senior executives who witnessed this scene were almost furious when they saw Shi Fengye's attitude of accepting it calmly. "You are so ignorant! Is that a treasure that you can't get your hands on?" "Instead of leaving it for those who need it most, it's wasted on you!" "Humph! When we get back, we can send it to the laboratory and separate the essence and blood." The few of them didn't say anything, and even pretended to be surprised and happy for them, but in fact they had already made new plans. "." Jiang Mo stroked Shi Fengye's head and was about to give him blood cleansing, but he stopped. His eyes, as deep as the abyss, looked at the three people quietly, piercing their minds like a sharp sword. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold and weird. Faced with the sudden gaze, the faces of the senior executives suddenly turned pale and realized that something was wrong. wrong? Discovered? The next moment, a cold voice sounded, shattering their psychological defenses like thunder, and several people's faces were horrified. "Come, repeat it in front of me." "Who is qualified to deprive them of the right to use the Demon King's blood?" "Who gave you the guts to send them to the laboratory, harm their lives, and take away their fortunes?" "!!!" Hearing Jiang Mo's words, everyone was horrified. Especially Zhang Chulan, he was numb, his heart rate was soaring, his hands and feet were cold and stiff, could he really eavesdrop on someone's thoughts?!
Damn it, dammit. Fortunately I didn’t lose my composure just now. Cold sweat instantly soaked his back. Just when he was extremely thankful, the senior executives were not so lucky. They panicked and stammered: "No, that's not the case, Xuanzun, please listen to us." "Tell me who it is." Jiang Mo glanced over and his true method was activated instantly, dissolving the Qi of their lower bodies and reconstructing them, completing the transformation of matter. What was flesh and blood a moment ago had now turned into stone and was still spreading to the upper body. "If you don't want to talk, stay today." "what!!" Feeling something strange in their bodies, cold and numb, they looked down and were almost frightened to death. Nearly half of their bodies were petrified. The awakened ones and warriors who were accompanying them, upon seeing the conflict, did not even have the courage to take action. They remained silent and were helpless. The gap in strength between the two sides was so great that resistance was meaningless. "I I said" "call out--!" Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly attacked the three people. It was a middle-aged man with gray hair who attacked them, trying to silence them. However, before he realized what he had done, his body was forcibly pressed to the ground by a terrifying force. His bones were shattered and he vomited blood. The attack he launched turned into ashes and dissipated before it even hit the target in front of his astonished eyes. Failed. Total failure. "Pfft!" As Jiang Mo's eyes fell again, the man's figure disappeared, but a shrill wailing came from the mountain gate outside the hall. It only lasted for a few seconds, and then a sharp explosion was heard, blood and flesh splattered, and broken bones were everywhere. "Bang!!!" died. A Level 5 Awakener was wiped out from existence without even the slightest ability to resist. "who is it?" Jiang Mo completely ignored the feelings of these visitors and just continued to interrogate them. "It's Li Huan, Jian Ku, and Teng Feng" "They are the sword bearers under Yin Qian and Ji Yunzhou. They greeted us before coming." "Xuan Zun, please! Let us go." Several people were very emotional. They had just experienced an assassination and wanted to tell all the secrets they knew. "Wow!" Jiang Mo turned a deaf ear to them. Their figures turned into wisps of ashes and dissipated, their souls returning to heaven and earth. The remaining nine elite troops stood quietly in place like wooden stakes, in a dilemma, their brains were at a standstill and their thoughts were confused. Shi Fengye and his fellow disciples felt disheartened after listening to the conversation between the two sides. It turned out that their fate was to be used as a stepping stone by others. In a flash, Jiang Mo controlled the entourage present and activated the Eye of Truth, forcibly blanking their memories. He then waved his hand and knocked them off the mountain. They fell to the ground like falling meteors and became unconscious.
"Vill!" "?" The man in the underground laboratory was startled. After receiving the message, he did not dare to delay and quickly appeared in the hall. "exist." "Please give your orders." "Help me take care of a few people." Jiang Mo ordered him to go forward and copy everything that had happened before into a ball of memory light, and sent it to his forehead. He even gave him an extra talisman paper, which contained his power, just in case. If necessary, he could ignore the obstruction and kill the target. "Yes." "Please rest assured, I will be back soon." Will stroked his chest with one hand and made a solemn vow. "Buzz!" A void portal suddenly opened, and Will flashed in and disappeared without a trace. The whole place was in dead silence. No one knew what to say after something like this happened. Afterwards, Jiang Mo cleansed the bodies of Shi Fengye, Yue Xu, Yun Qing, and Wan Ning one after another, which took less than a quarter of an hour. He also made backup plans in their bodies to prevent the demon king's essence and blood from being taken away. "Thank you...Xuan Zun." The four of them said with tears of gratitude. "The sky is high and the birds fly freely. You are the only ones who know what happened today. I have erased their memories. You will have to rely on yourselves in the future. Go back." Jiang Mo looked at the young men and women who were kneeling on the ground and bowing. In an instant, he used the art of teleporting and sent them away from the sect. "It's your turn." "Choose." "Master Jiang, if possible, I want to go back to the past." When Lu Ci made this request, he felt embarrassed, expectant, and even a little sad. All kinds of complicated emotions were brewing in his heart. "Me too. Sorry to trouble you, Master Jiang." Gao Mei also bowed slightly and said with great shame. "it is good." "What about you, Jinzhong?" Jiang Mo looked at the old man beside him again. "Me? There's nothing to choose from. I'm already quite old. Forget it, forget it. I'm very happy to be able to come and visit you this time." Tian Jinzhong declined, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out and he smiled brightly, as cheerful as he was when he was young. "Then stay and have dinner together. I'll take you back later."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. It would be great if senior brother and Lao Lu were here." Tian Jinzhong was very emotional. night. At 12 o'clock, the Taoist Palace was filled with joy. Lanterns and candles were hung up. A group of younger generations and the descendants of the elves were all celebrating Jiang Mo's birthday. "Come!" "Uncle Master, your noodles are ready!!" Chang Qing came over with a bowl of hot longevity noodles, which exuded a rich fragrance. He carefully placed it in front of Jiang Mo. “Good cooking.” Just by taking a sniff, Jiang Mo couldn't help but smile knowingly. "Come on! Let's celebrate the birthday of our uncle!" Amidst the laughter and conversation, Jiang Mo took photo after photo with these juniors in front of the camera at their request. Chang Qing, Yu Huai and others even kept up with the times and prepared a birthday cake for their uncle, lit candles, sang birthday songs, and hoped that he would make a wish. "Thanks." Jiang Mo, who was surrounded by the crowd, raised a warm smile and gently blew out the candle. Time passed quickly and it was almost two o'clock in the morning. Except for Lu Ci and Gao Mei, all the guests left one after another. Weier also returned safely and reported with his head lowered: "The five people you're dealing with are all clean." After saying that, he handed back the original talisman paper. "Keep it." "How are you going?" Jiang Mo asked again. "Not a drop of water left." Will replied in a low voice like a ghost. "Okay, get down." After a while, after talking to Changqing and Yuhuai inside the door, Jiang Mo took Chengzhen, Zhuge Yu, Gao Mei and Lu Ci to the third floor of the Sutra Library. "Have you written your resignation letter? The time of your departure is up to you. It could be one or two years, or it could be a lifetime." Jiang Mo asked casually as they walked up the stairs. "I'm done with this. With my ability, I'm only comparable to a Level 5 Awakener." "The Security Council doesn't need a shortage of elites like me. If it weren't for my seniority, I would have been eliminated long ago. There is no shortage of ambitious young people nowadays. Let them go and show their talents." Lu Ci sighed deeply. Once upon a time, he couldn't imagine that he could have such achievements now. But in the new era, he couldn't see where the road ahead led. Gao Mei gave a similar answer. She did not resign, but took an indefinite leave. As for whether she could come back, she was not sure, but she just wanted to go back and take a look. "Do you know everything that happened in the past?" Jiang Mo asked meaningfully. "Well, later on I felt something was wrong, so I asked my senior brothers in the sect about it."
"Da da da!" The group continued walking. "When do you want to go back to?" Jiang Mo pushed open the attic door, and his footsteps created ripples of magical power. "Before the landing of Bihe Ren, probably in the winter of 1940, or the spring of 1941." Lu Ci felt a little lonely. "This is just for convenience and not to cause you any trouble, Master Jiang. I've also recovered recently." Gao Mei said. "it is good." In a moment, Jiang Mo came to the alchemy table. The mechanical sphere that had been silent for many years started to roar slowly as he took out a copied magic book, formed a seal with one hand, chanted an ancient spell loudly, and then started to work. In an instant, countless threads of the world appeared before Jiang Mo's eyes. He was in the vast black starry sky, and everything around him was covered with vast white lines, like waves dancing in the wind. In the past, Yousha was in such a complex environment, selecting world lines that met their requirements for them, and then casting spells to teleport them. Now, Jiang Mo chanted a spell while selecting, his eyes sweeping across the endless void, and in the upper reaches of the long river of time, he found a straight line that continued downward, which was almost the same mainstream as the line he was on, but there were subtle changes at some forks in the road. After that, it continued to flow downward, occasionally parallel or intersecting, roughly matching each other with very small errors. "Boom!!!" Soon, the mechanical sphere expanded and opened completely, and two scarlet magic vortices collapsed inward, containing different big worlds. Then, Jiang Mo gathered magical power with his fingertips and carved a magic rune on the wrists of Lu Ci and Gao Mei, and instructed: "Within two years, you have one and only one chance. You can return to reality by erasing the lines on your wrists. If it takes more than two years, you will stay there forever. The passage on the left is the timeline you need." "I see. Thank you." Looking at the world in the whirlpool, the two of them were in a trance and moved forward uncontrollably. "Go-" At Jiang Mo's signal, they stepped into the vortex without hesitation, and the huge mechanical sphere roared and vibrated. "Wow!" The scarlet light was fleeting, and the two figures disappeared into the pavilion, heading back to the Republic of China era. Afterwards, Jiang Mo also brought Cheng Zhen and Zhuge Yu into the vortex on the right. (End of this chapter)
