Chapter 848: 14. Omen of Disaster, Madness of the Heavenly Dao (2 in 1)
Just as Zi Chenxue was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a figure slowly walking over from afar. The moonlight reflected the figure’s appearance.
Her cheeks were rosy, and her heart was beating wildly. She felt her blood burning. She waved from afar and shouted,”Qi Mo ~~”
Xia Ji had just finished absorbing a fiendish source, so he came home to reorganize himself before going to the Snow Listening Academy.
He did not disturb Miao Miao who was obviously cultivating. Instead, he flashed under the roof and sat opposite Zi Chenxue.
Zi Chenxue’s breathing suddenly quickened as she felt an inexplicable nervousness in her heart. She hurriedly grabbed the teapot and poured a cup of tea.”Qi Mo, you just came back. Drink more hot water.”
Xia Ji took the tea and drank it.
And when he was drinking tea, Zi Chenxue was looking at him with burning eyes.
She realized that the longer she spent with this man, the more infatuated she became. She was completely unable to extricate herself.
Xia Ji put down his teacup and noticed her gaze. He felt that it was a little strange…
He turned his head to look at himself. There was no problem. He wiped his face again. There was nothing dirty on it.
However, Zi Chenxue just propped up her chin and looked at him obsessively. Her ” illness ” seemed to have deepened a lot compared to the last time they met.
“Qi Mo, I already completely understand my feelings…I want to be your Dao-companion.”
Xia Ji was speechless.
He had a headache.
At this moment, he only hoped that other Seekers would not see him like this.
Wait a minute …
If that was the case, then wouldn’t he be able to subdue all the elites above divine-tier just by relying on this ‘magical charm’?
Would the Heavenly Dao still have a way out?
This could be considered a reasonable use of his advantage.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the distance of Liangzhou City. Immediately after, some frightened shouts drifted over from afar along with the night wind. Words like “ghost”,”here it comes again”, and “help” could be vaguely heard.
” What happened? ” Xia Ji’s expression froze. ” What happened? ”
When Zi Chenxue heard this voice, she woke up slightly and explained,” It’s a fiend demon. I don’t know what happened, but a resident of a city suddenly turned into a fiend demon. This is the sixth time this month. ”
” The sixth time? ” “Is it normal?” Xia Ji asked after some thought.
Zi Chenxue shook her head and said, ” I heard from Master that although the fiendish land is dangerous, it is extremely difficult to form. Moreover, every time it forms, the fiendish source is born from spiritual energy and then becomes a whole.
I’ve never seen or heard of such a situation where the residents of a city suddenly turn into fiend demons.”
Xia Ji had been absorbing a fiendish land for the past month, so he had not returned. He did not know what was going on, and he was in deep thought when he heard this.
“Miss Little Zi, you stay here. I’ll go take a look.” He suddenly stood up.
Zi Chenxue’s heart was completely obedient, her icy cold demeanor was not revealed at all. She nodded and said gently,”Go early and come back early.”
Xia Ji leaped into the air and rode the wind toward the location of the disturbance.
In a few breaths, he was already standing on top of a tall building. The scene below his feet was extremely clear.
A total of four people wrapped in black murderous aura were walking aimlessly on the street. Two men, a woman, and a child. As they walked, the soldiers in the surrounding alleys began to retreat. It was obvious that they did not want to fight them head-on.
At this moment, a man in black armor and holding a seven-star spear walked over from afar. The soldiers on both sides spread out and respectfully shouted,”Exalt Kuang, Exalt Kuang is here.”
This was Kuang Ying, the Northern Tang Dynasty’s imperial consecrator stationed in Liangzhou City.
However, while he was still far away, one of the four fiend demons suddenly deviated from their original direction and pounced towards the window at the side…
Through the window, a little girl was curiously looking outside. When she saw the fiend demon suddenly running over, she was instantly dumbfounded. Her small mouth opened, but she didn’t even have the time to cry out. Her eyes were filled with fear.
In the distance, the black-armored man clearly sensed this situation, but he was too far away and it was too late. He quickly rushed over, but he could predict that the little girl would die.
Xia Ji’s expression changed slightly as he raised his hand and pressed down.
The running fiend demon suffered an invisible gravitational force and suddenly collapsed. It was as if it had been struck by a huge hammer, turning into a pile of ” meat paste “…
The ” meat paste ” quickly melted and turned into a small piece of rotting meat. The rotting meat touched the air and disappeared like a snowball in soup.
Boom! Boom!
Another three waves of power descended.
The remaining three fiend demons were all killed.
Kuang Ying had only run halfway when the fiend demons were all wiped out.
The Northern Tang royal family’s Guardian knew that he had met a master. He stood in the alley and cupped his fists at the high ground.” Northern Tang Imperial Family’s consecrator, Kuang Ying. Thank you for your help. ”
Xia Ji didn’t hide anything. He stepped down from the sky and said, “”Tingxue Academy, Qi Mo.”
Kuang Ying was taken aback. He had heard of this young mister’s name before. It was said that he studied the Array Dao. In that case, that attack just now should have been done by using some kind of power of the Array Dao, right?
The power of the Array Dao could actually be so…This was truly powerful.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, young mister,” he said respectfully.
“Revered Elder Kuang, what’s going on?” Xia Ji asked.
Kuang Ying thought for a moment and felt that since he was the Little Mister of the Academy, and the Academy had a close relationship with the Northern Tang Dynasty, it would not be a big deal to tell him the situation. Besides, it was not a big secret.
Thus, he dismissed the soldiers and increased the patrols around the area. Then, he said to Xia Ji, “”Innocent people turn into fiend demons in their dreams. This matter doesn’t only happen in Liangzhou City. It also happens in other cities…The other countries were also average.
The first one recorded by the Northern Tang Dynasty was in Cold Night City, which was a hundred miles away from here. It happened a month ago, and then it began to appear in large numbers.
The first case in Liangzhou City was 25 days ago, the second was 15 days ago, the third was 10 days ago, the fourth was six days ago, the fifth was three days ago, and this was the sixth…
There seems to be some strange changes in the earth. Many famous mountains and lakes have begun to appear as the so-called Earth Fiends Tribulation.”
“I’ll go to the place where the residents mutated,” Xia Ji said.
Kuang Ying replied, ” Alright. These places have already been sealed off by the soldiers. However, if Little Mister wants to go and take a look, there’s no problem. ”
A moment later…
The two of them appeared in front of a house surrounded by soldiers.
A human-shaped hole appeared in the wall of the house. It was obvious that the fiend demon had broken through the obstruction and escaped.
Kuang Ying gave the order, and the soldiers stepped aside, allowing Xia Ji to enter.
Xia Ji grabbed a torch and walked into the room. The interior of the room was very ordinary, and it was easy to deduce what had happened from the clues in the room.
The commoner was in a dream when he suddenly became a fiend demon. He then got out of bed and rushed to the wall opposite the bed, walking out.
Xia Ji moved his hand, and the bed moved away, revealing the red brick floor beneath it.
There were gaps between the bricks, but there were no signs of cracking.
“Puppet giant earthworm!”
A white light flashed in Xia Ji’s hand, and three giant earthworms equipped with ” Illuminating Detection ” burrowed into the red brick and headed in different directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The earthworms quickly dug into the soil.
Meanwhile, the illumination appeared in front of Xia Ji’s eyes.
The soil was overturned.
Soon, the giant earthworm had already reached a hundred meters deep, but there was no abnormality at all.
A thousand meters down, there was still nothing unusual.
Xia Ji was full of patience as he continued to let the giant earthworm drill.
However, as he went deeper, he found nothing.
When the giant earthworm reached nearly ten thousand meters, the underground temperature seemed to have started to rise, and there was a strange resistance coming from underground.
Xia Ji didn’t probe further. He knew that he had failed and couldn’t find anything unusual.
He thought to himself,
“What does this mean?”
” The earth is changing. New Fiendish Lands are appearing. Even the commoners are turning into Fiendish Demons…”
“I’m almost certain that this abnormality is related to the Heavenly Dao…”
“The reason why the commoners are affected must be that the fiendish aura under this land has already reached a certain level.”
“No matter how the Heavenly Dao did it, its goal is already very obvious…”
Xia Ji stood up and looked at the darkness outside the door. “”Does he want to use the entire human world to feed the Death God and swallow me indiscriminately?
Is he using the current resources and information I unknown know to prepare a catastrophe that will destroy the world?”
