Chapter 851: Entrusted by others, the matter of loyalty
"It seems that they have all been wiped out..."
In the dark world far away from Ziluo City, a dry voice sounded.
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a gold ribbon and a crane cloak.
His expression was as gloomy as water, and his eyebrows were full of solemnity.
Qu Yunzhong.
An old monster of the imperial realm from the Qu clan of the ancient tribe.
He is responsible for taking care of tonight's action here.
But it was already past midnight, and when he saw that the mighty army of evil spirits had retreated, Qu Changhen and the other emperors had not returned for a long time, this made Qu Yunzhong realize that something was wrong!
“With Cui Longxiang’s absence, with the current strength of the Cui family, how can there be any chance of a comeback? How about... let’s go to Ziluo City to take a look in person?”
On one side, an old man with childish face and white hair, wearing a blue robe, said worriedly.
Hong Tianhe.
A very senior elder in the Hong family of the ancient tribe.
At the scene, besides him and Qu Yunzhong, there was also an elder from the Tantai clan.
This man's name is Dan Taizhe, he has a tall and mighty figure, carries a pair of short halberds on his back, and has cold eyes like lightning.
Hearing Hong Tianhe's words, Tan Taizhe directly denied it: "No! Regardless of whether the comrades in this operation have suffered or not, the top priority is to quickly pass the time back to their respective clans!"
Qu Yunzhong took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Tantai said in time, if our comrades have really been in trouble, then there is no difference between us going to Ziluo City now and throwing ourselves into a trap.
"
“But if we leave like this, how should we explain to our family members?”
Hong Tianhe frowned.
“Just report it truthfully.”
Qu Yunzhong sighed.
This time on the night of the Lantern Festival, Cui Longxiang was not around, and the Nine Nether Crows reappeared in the world. This was the perfect opportunity to overthrow the Cui family.
This time, their major ancient clans came even more prepared, uniting the power of a group of emperors, thinking that they would be able to overcome all odds.
But who would have thought that the situation was completely beyond their expectation.
Not only was Ziluo City not destroyed, but their companions were all likely to have suffered!
“You two, I’ll go first!”
Dan Taizhe no longer wanted to stay any longer, so he turned around and left. The tall and mighty figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Qu Yunzhong and Hong Tianhe looked at each other and were about to leave.
At this moment——
Far away in the darkness, a shrill and angry scream suddenly sounded.
It’s the sound of Tantai Zhe!
Qu Yunzhong and Hong Tianhe were shocked, and they both looked up.
In the darkness in the far distance, a figure that was as tall as a thousand feet appeared vaguely, but before it could be seen clearly, it disappeared in a flash.
And the sound of Tantai Zhe no longer sounded.
The sky and the earth are dead silent, and the darkness is like ink.
This night of the Ten Thousand Lanterns Festival, there is no light at all, but under such circumstances, there are screams of Dantai Zhe, and a mysterious shadow of thousands of feet flashes and disappears.
This made both Qu Yunzhong and Hong Tianhe tremble in their hearts, and chills ran down their spines.
“Brother Qu, I think Taoist Taoist friend Tantai is most likely in trouble. It would be better for you and me to act together and evacuate from this ghost place first. In this way, we can at least help each other.”
Hong Tianhe looked solemn and quickly transmitted the message, "If we evacuate separately, I'm afraid they will be defeated one by one."
"good!"
Qu Yunzhong agreed.
While speaking, he flipped his palm, and a silver flying sword appeared, and his whole aura quietly reached its peak.
Even the armor covered under the robe was rippled.

Looking at Hong Tianhe, he was already holding a short bronze spear shaped like a bird's beak, and he was ready to attack.
The two emperors, who have been through many storms, have no shortage of combat experience. In this situation, they did not panic, but were cautious and alert.
“You two don’t need to be nervous.”
At this time, a gentle voice sounded in the darkness in the distance.
Boom!
As soon as the sound sounded, Qu Yunzhong took action without hesitation, and the silver flying sword in his hand shot out, like lightning, striking the place where the sound sounded thousands of feet away.
But before the flying sword could be struck down, it was suddenly held tightly by a big hand.
It was a thin and clean palm, with its five fingers flexing lightly, as if it was holding not a murderous imperial flying sword, but a flower petal that could be broken by a blow.
As the silver flying sword trembled, the diffuse light reflected a figure standing in the darkness.
This is an old man wearing an old Taoist robe, with a gentle face, gray beard and hair, smiling brows and kind eyes.
However, in his left hand, he was holding a bloody head, his eyes wide open, filled with fear and helplessness.
That head came from Tantai Zhe who had left one step ahead of time!
A middle-stage Xuanzao realm emperor from the Tantai clan!
When they saw this scene, Qu Yunzhong and Hong Tianhe's expressions suddenly changed, and their hearts were in doubt.
Especially for Qu Yunzhong, the flying sword was imprisoned by the opponent. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it back, which made his scalp numb with shock.
That old man in Taoist robe must be an extremely terrifying existence!
“Who is this fellow Taoist, and why do you want to commit murder tonight?”
Taking a deep breath, Hong Tianhe spoke in a deep voice.
“The old man is just a down-and-out man, so let’s not mention him.”
From a distance, an old man in Taoist robes with a kind expression walked slowly, "As for coming here tonight, it is nothing more than an entrustment by others. I want to use your heads as a loyal act."
The warm voice is like the soothing spring breeze and fine wine.
But the meaning behind the words made Qu Yunzhong and Hong Tianhe change their expressions again.
“I would like to ask my friend, who is entrusted by us? Does he know our origins?”
Qu Yunzhong swallowed his spit with difficulty.
唰!
Hong Tianhe was more direct, turning around and running away.
He crushed a golden secret talisman that had been prepared with his left hand, and the golden talisman exploded, enveloping his figure and disappearing into thin air.
Qu Yunzhong's expression changed suddenly. He never expected that Hong Tianhe, who had previously offered to go in and out with him, would be the first to escape in advance!
However, in just the blink of an eye, a dull collision sounded in the darkness in the far distance, and ripples of the black forbidden formation like ink were seen surging between the sky and the earth.
“Damn it, this world has been sealed by that old guy’s formation!!”
Hong Tianhe’s angry shout sounded in the distance.
The old man in Taoist robes sighed softly: "I'm ashamed. In order to take off the heads of the two of them, I had no choice but to resort to this trick to make the two of them laugh."
While speaking, he put away the imprisoned silver flying sword and reached out to grab it from the air.
Boom!
The void rippled violently, as if even the space was torn apart by this grasping force.
The next moment, there was a bang, and Hong Tianhe's figure appeared out of thin air. The old man in Taoist robes grabbed his neck with one hand, and he could no longer struggle.
"excuse me."
The old man in Taoist robes spoke apologetically.
Then, Hong Tianhe's neck was violently twisted and torn off!
His body was silently shattered into countless bloody pieces. When they fell on the ground, they turned into fine ashes and dissipated.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
An emperor of Xuanzao Realm had his head twisted off like this and died suddenly in a strange way!
The old man in Taoist robes looked gentle and charitable from beginning to end, and even apologized for it...
That scene made Qu Yunzhong so frightened that he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
After so many years of becoming an emperor, this is the first time he has encountered such a terrifying enemy!
“You...who are you?”
Qu Yunzhong hissed.
The old man in Taoist robes calmly took out a rope and connected the heads of Hong Tianhe and Tantai Zhe.
Then, he raised his eyes to look at Qu Yunzhong, thought for a while, and said warmly: "That's all, before you die, I will let you feel more at ease."
As the voice echoed, a burst of gray haze suddenly appeared around the figure of the old man in Taoist robes. The dense haze turned into an incredible picture in the void.
In the picture, a strange black lotus blossoms in the endless abyss. Stars are pulled, fall into the abyss, and are swallowed up by the black lotus one by one.
When he saw this scene, Qu Yunzhong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and lost his voice: "Black Oblivion Demon God!! How is it possible, how can you still be alive?"
A long time ago, there was a lotus that emerged from the abyss. It wielded the power of darkness and annihilation. It traversed the demon path in the world and was revered as the "Black Annihilation Demon God" by a group of demon cultivators!
There have been many top forces who have taken action to capture this lotus flower, which is naturally capable of controlling the power of darkness and annihilation, alive and plunder its great principles.
As a result, there were heavy casualties, and more than ten emperor-level beings lost their lives.
The name of the Black Oblivion Demon God resounds throughout the Netherworld. He is a demon king who was born innately on the path of demons!
However, as far as Qu Yunzhong knew, as early as tens of thousands of years ago, the Black Oblivion Demon God had already suffered disaster when he went to the depths of the Sea of Bitterness to look for opportunities.
Since then, the world has never heard of the Black Oblivion Demon God.
Who would have thought that such a terrifying existence would appear tonight!
Moreover, it seems that they came specifically to kill the emperors like them!
“Back then, I almost died in the ruins of the palace left by the King of Chujiang in the depths of the sea of suffering. It was considered an old age that I should not die. After being trapped for tens of thousands of years, I finally escaped from it.”
The old man in Taoist robes explained in a gentle voice.
Qu Yunzhong said in a trembling voice: "Senior... Senior exists like this, why do you want to embarrass us tonight?"
The expression of the old man in Taoist robes suddenly became solemn, and he said: "I said before that I have been entrusted by others and asked my Taoist friends to fulfill my loyalty."
Qu Yunzhong's expression changed, and he said bitterly: "Senior wants to kill me, what else do you want me to accomplish? Do I have to give up my head on my own initiative?"
The old man in Taoist robes suddenly apologized and said, "I am just too old and confused."
While speaking, he reached out his hand to grab it from the air and twisted it.
Click!
Qu Yunzhong's head was violently severed and flew through the air into the hands of the old man in Taoist robes.
And his body, like Hong Tianhe, was first turned into countless pieces of flesh and blood, and when it fell to the ground, it was already turned into ashes.
This is the power of death!
In front of the old man in Taoist robes, emperors of the Xuanzao Realm such as Qu Yunzhong, Hong Tianhe, and Tantai Zhe actually had little ability to struggle!
It’s no wonder that when he was in Mengpo Hall, even Lu Changming, the third elder who possessed the Xuanyou Realm Taoism, treated the old man in Taoist robes with great respect and did not dare to be slight!
Holding the three heads in his hands, the old man in Taoist robes finally seemed to feel more relaxed, and murmured: "Tonight, I can finally pay my respects to fellow Taoist Su."
The voice is still floating in the night, and others have moved into the void and rushed towards Ziluo City.
