Chapter 131 The Punishing Clan
Chapter 131 The Punishing Clan
Kong Que looked coldly at the cloaked man in front of him who was suspected to be a descendant of Xingtian. His mind was running rapidly, thinking about a way to escape.
Unexpectedly, the leading cloaked man took off his cloak, revealing a pair of droopy eyes and a somewhat loose upper body. The other four cloaked men also took off their cloaks.
What is this doing...
Just when Kong Que thought that they would emit dazzling golden light like the Hundred-Eyed Demon King in "Journey to the West", the leaderless people spoke first, with a somewhat aged voice of an old woman, "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, before. My incompetent descendant has offended me a lot, so I will apologize first."
Junior?
He was probably talking about the big-eyed and brainless female leaderless citizen, whose pair of natal magic weapons were still with her.
"It's okay, fellow Taoist, tell me what you have to say."
The leaderless people in front of him were extremely polite in their words, but Kong Que was even more vigilant.
There is no unreasonable politeness in the world, only unreasonable resentment, not to mention that her younger generation suffered a big loss at her own hands, so it is always good to be more vigilant.
The old woman's tone was extremely gentle, like a loving elder, "I am from the Xing clan, a descendant of the Great God Xing Tian. Now I live in seclusion in the secret realm of Changyang Mountain. I have never been interested in worldly affairs. If something big hadn't happened, I would never have left. Half a step into the secret realm.”
"What's the big deal?"
"This is a scandal for our Xing clan. When the vitality of heaven and earth fell, two traitors stole the clan's treasure and defected. Unfortunately, in order to fight against the decline of vitality of heaven and earth, we had too much time to take care of ourselves. So until recently, the vitality of heaven and earth increased. Only then did we have time to look for those two traitors, and this led to a series of unpleasant frictions. I hope fellow Taoists will forgive me."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Kong Que fell into deep thought.
The family’s greatest treasure?
Could it be that small tree with spiritual roots...
However, the original grade of the small tree with spiritual roots would not have caused the Xing clan to go into such a big fight. If many Yuanying monks or even half-step gods were sent out because of this, it would really be suspected of making a fuss out of a molehill.
The old woman smiled and explained, "According to our punishment clan's method of looking at the clouds, you have had the closest contact with those two traitors recently."
In fact, she told a little lie. In addition to the phoenix species in front of her, there was actually a peach demon who was not weaker than herself and secretly joined one of the traitors. It's been some time since the traitor came into contact, so it's really hard to predict.
After much consideration, she chose this phoenix species.
But I didn't expect that my junior was so stupid, and this phoenix was not easy to mess with.
After much thought, I had no choice but to go out and invite them over myself.
After hearing the old woman's words, Kong Que probably already understood who the traitor she was talking about was.
Except for the leaderless man who had a small spiritual root tree growing on his chest in the Taoist temple, that was the cloaked man who took away his body. It would be good to say that he had a close encounter with the cloaked man. After all, he was thrown away from the spiritual root tree. After that, he took it into his pocket immediately.
Moreover, the cloaked man was extremely familiar with the music scores he played.
Seeing that Kong Que was silent, the old woman got straight to the point, "We, the Xing Clan, would like to invite fellow Taoists to the secret realm of Changyang Mountain so that we can divine the whereabouts of the traitor. I can swear an oath of heaven. We, the Xing Clan, will never fail to do so." It will be beneficial to fellow Taoists, and we will also pass on our family’s method of cloud divination to fellow Taoists. We have never taught this secret method to others, is it enough to show our sincerity?”
"Then you first take the oath of heaven."
The old woman laughed dumbly and took the lead in raising three fingers to the sky to swear an oath. Only when Kong Que sensed an invisible force entwining himself and the leaderless people did he feel relieved.
The Oath of Heaven is a shackles for practitioners. It has always been extremely effective and is often used to gain trust.
The old woman swore on behalf of the entire Xing Clan that when the time comes for the secret realm of Changyang Mountain, all the Xing Clan must not do anything unfavorable to him, otherwise the thunder of heaven will fall and the oath will be fulfilled.
"Fellow Taoist, it's refreshing. What's the harm in taking a walk?"
"This matter should be taken up sooner rather than later. Let's start now."
As a result, the leaderless people once again put on the cloaked man and took Kong Que to escape to the secret place of Changyang Mountain in their clan.
The old woman did not force Kong Que to swear the oath of heaven. This was a kind of confidence in his own strength. No matter how troublesome the phoenix species was, as long as he reached the secret realm of Changyang Mountain, he was not afraid of sudden attacks.
.....
At dusk, the glow shines.
The rolling green mountains are particularly beautiful and beautiful under the sunset and clouds.
Suddenly, several rays of light came from a distance and landed in the forest, startling birds and animals.
These escaping lights were transformed by none other than Kong Que and the five leaderless people.
Kong Que felt the aura of this place behind a group of leaderless people, and took a look at the so-called "Changyang Mountain".
The aura here is medium, so there should be some monsters or elixirs, but a cursory scan of the spiritual consciousness will reveal abnormalities. There are not a single monster with spiritual intelligence activated here, and there is not even a hair on the elixirs.
80% of them were taken into the secret realm of Changyang Mountain.
"Fellow Taoist, please invite me. The secret realm of Changyang Mountain is just ahead."
"good."
The old woman walked in the front with four leaderless people, while Kong Que followed behind, riding a low cloud.
Not long after, the old woman led him to a stone wall. With a wave of her hand, a stream of light flowed from the stone wall, forming a whirlpool of glowing doors. "Fellow Taoist, please."
"polite."
Feeling the strong spiritual energy in the vortex, Kong Que flew over the clouds with great vigilance. A slight dizziness came over him. When he calmed down and looked around, he saw the terrain and the surroundings. Changyang Mountain is completely different from the outside world. It is a large plain with many simple buildings built on it.
This simple building was built around a statue of the Headless People, which was more than ten feet tall. The statue held an ax in one hand, a shield in the other, and wore a simple leather skirt. It seems that this is the "God of Xingtian" worshiped by the Headless People.
The old woman's voice came from behind, "Fellow Taoist, you can rest for a while, and you can do divination at night."
"Thank you."
"this way please."
The leaderless people who were following him took Kong Que to a building, while the old woman took the three leaderless people in another direction.
"Your distinguished guests can rest here. Someone will come to treat you in the evening."
"good."
The headless people were very polite, and even closed the door after going out. If the female headless people had spoken so politely, how could there have been the previous war?
Kong Que was not tired at all, he just lay on the bed in the house with his eyes closed and resting, waiting for night to fall.
