After a while, Mu Qing and the little white turtle fell to the ground. When they got up, they found that they had arrived on a small island.
A thin old man with his legs crossed was sitting in front of them, smoking a pipe.
Mu Qing and Xiao Baigui breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the old man's face clearly.
"Senior, since you have such ability, why do you still let me, a junior with low cultivation level, run around?"
Mu Qing patted the dust on his body and looked at the old man in confusion.
Obviously, it was the old man who rescued them.
"If I can get the Immortal Tree, do I still need to find you? Take out the things!"
The old man knocked the ashes from his cigarette and looked at Mu Qing with disgust.
"You old man won't kill people and silence them, right?"
Just as Mu Qing was about to open the little world inside his body, he stopped again and looked at the old man cautiously.
"I didn't originally plan to do this. If you continue to ink, I might consider it!"
The old man looked at him expressionlessly.
"Okay, you've been waiting for me!"
Mu Qing took the reassurance and immediately picked two leaves from the immortal tree and put them into the jade box.
However, he did not hand it directly to the old man, but to the little white turtle.
The old man once said that if the little white turtle brings back the immortal leaves, one can spare its life and one can save its owner.
Although Mu Qing didn't know what grudges there were between them, he still wanted to help the little white turtle. After all, the little white turtle saved him once inside the portal.
"Thank you!"
With tears in his eyes, the little white turtle carefully took the jade box.
"Okay, let's live and die together in the Ghost Realm, and we will be friends from now on!"
Mu Qing patted the little white turtle's head and said proudly.
"I have a lot of thoughts, but I keep my word. The little white turtle is here to stay, so get out!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the dragon hiding in the sea poked out its big head.
"No, I don't want to be a meat bun falling from the sky again!"
Mu Qing glanced at the dragon with a look of fear on his face.
"That's fine. I don't want to get too involved with you. I give you this thing to repay the karma of your immortal leaves!"
The old man raised his foot and kicked a piece of metal on the ground towards Mu Qing.
Zheng!——
Mu Qing stretched out his hand to take it, and the dirt-covered thing suddenly trembled between his fingers.
He glanced at the old man, his mind was a little confused, and he didn't know what medicine the old man was selling in his gourd.
However, when the dirt on the metal piece was shaken away, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off, because this metal piece was the third page of the Dragon Search Book - the Bronze Book!
"Thank you, senior!"
Mu Qing quickly put the copper book into the storage ring, then threw out the sapling array flag, quickly forming a one-time teleportation field, and disappeared with a hiss.
The little white turtle on the side was dumbfounded by his coordinated movements.
"Daojun, he..."
The little white turtle pointed to the place where Mu Qing disappeared and looked at the old man in confusion.
"The cause and effect on this kid is beyond your imagination. Don't get involved with him in the future, otherwise your master won't be able to save you even if he survives!"
The old man glanced at the little white turtle angrily, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the jade box fell into his hand.
The little white turtle nodded in understanding, but he didn't think so and said in his heart: "Master Turtle, I'm not even afraid of death, but I'm afraid of this cause and effect, tbh!"
"You little thing, do you think everything will be fine if you are not afraid of death? Let me tell you, death is not terrible. The terrible thing is that even death has become a luxury wish!"
The old man looked up at the sky, with stars in his eyes. He remembered some past events and was filled with emotion.
…
Mu Qing was worried that the old man would regret it and fled hastily, unable to grasp the direction at all, and soon fell into a dark mountain.
"What the hell..."
Mu Qing climbed up and looked at the mountain filled with black fire, a little speechless.
He really has a fate with Demon Flame Mountain. He met Xiao Ba and Mo Ya here and got the Burning Sky Demon Flame, but this time he escaped and ended up here again.
"I don't know what happened to Xi'er and the others. It's all the fault of the old man. What the hell are you doing!"
But when he thought about it again, he felt a little guilty. After all, it was the old man who saved him.
"I don't know what the Eastern Region has become. Now that I'm here, let's walk around!"
Mu Qing was like a wanderer returning from abroad. He followed their footsteps and soon arrived at Yanling City, which is closest to Demon Flame Mountain.
Originally, he thought that Yanling City would be an apocalyptic scene of the walking dead, but what shocked him was that there were still city guards here as usual, and people were still coming and going at the city gate.
But the strange thing is that these people are a little quieter and rarely speak.
"what's the situation?
Mu Qing was a little confused now. Didn't it mean that the Eastern Territory fell and all living creatures were demonized?
What's going on?
Full of curiosity, he walked towards the city gate, but soon he realized something was wrong.
Because those people coming in and out seemed to have noticed him, and they all looked over blankly.
Only then did Mu Qing realize that these people's eyes were all blood red, and they also had a faint demonic aura about them.
Mu Qing's thoughts moved, and his body suddenly became filled with demonic energy.
After those people felt his powerful aura, they immediately fell to their knees in fear and trembled constantly, just like ordinary people who saw an emperor.
Although they have all become possessed by demons, they are mortals after all. Facing Mu Qing's chaotic demonic energy, they are innately suppressed, just like the bloodline suppression in the demon clan.
Mu Qing came to a person, stretched out his hand, grabbed his head, and began to check his physical condition.
After checking dozens of people in a row, Mu Qing finally got some clues.
These people have been eroded by demonic energy for a long time, and have gradually adapted to this aura, and their consciousness has begun to recover. However, their physique and character have been changed, and they have become violent and ferocious.
Although Yanling City looks unchanged today, violence occurs every day and people die every day.
"These people can still be saved now, but it will be hard to say if they wait any longer!"
Mu Qing looked at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, and suddenly thought of someone. He immediately flashed his wings of light and rushed towards the tallest mansion.
As soon as he arrived above the mansion, he saw a familiar figure refining alchemy in the yard.
"Mo Mingqi?"
Mu Qing fell into the courtyard and looked at the alchemist with surprise.
"Mu Qing? I didn't expect that someone so powerful as you would be demonized!"
Mo Mingqi sighed quietly, filled with emotion.
"Who said I was demonized?"
After Mu Qing finished speaking, he immediately put away the demonic energy on his body.
"you……"
This time it was Mo Mingqi's turn to be shocked.
"Don't be surprised. I came from the Holy Land by accident. Tell me what happened?"
Mu Qing sat cross-legged in front of Mo Mingqi in a leisurely manner, as if he didn't regard him as a demon at all.
