Chapter 568: Interception [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
Xiao Zu passed away peacefully.
……
As they entered Jiuyang's territory, they could already see the Huanshen Peak in the distance, and the three Water Monkey King brothers needed to make a choice.
If they were to show their cards right now and attack Xiao Ting, they could at least kill a high priest, which would be a huge blow to Huanshen Peak, but that would be all.
But if I follow him back to the Illusion Peak and play the long game to hook a big fish, I will be exposed sooner or later.
They had been to Bashan with Liang Yue before, and many people had seen them, but the news had not yet reached Huanshen Peak. If they followed Xiao Ting as an undercover agent for a long time, Huanshen Peak would definitely investigate them, and they would be exposed immediately.
The most common undercover job is at Tianxia Pass.
The Water Monkey King thought for a moment and said, "Wind Priest, Xiao Zuan is leading human cavalry, and his speed in returning to the Illusion God Peak should not be as fast as ours. Why don't we intercept him here and capture the traitor. Then we can return to the Illusion God Peak and report back."
"Haha." Xiao Ting laughed loudly, "The Monkey King and I, heroes think alike. I think so too."
Lei Hao whispered to King Sha: "This grandson is quite optimistic. He can still laugh at this age."
The four of them immediately spread out in a line and patrolled the sky towards Jiuyang, trying to intercept Xiao Zuan.
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, a group of flying clouds were seen passing by in the sky. On the cloud should be Xiao Zuan and several generals of the Canglong tribe.
They obviously didn't expect that Xiao Ting would intercept them here. After escaping the pursuit of Yin's army, they felt safe and rode the clouds on their way without any hesitation.
After the three demon kings and Xiao Ting discovered it, they gathered around. When the flying clouds passed over their heads, the four of them attacked at the same time.
Xiao Zuan was flying on the cloud when he suddenly saw a strong sandstorm in front of him. A gust of sand and gravel that could penetrate steel was blowing towards his face. He immediately realized that something was wrong and turned the cloud around to avoid it.
However, several purple lightning bolts crossed the sky and surrounded it, trapping the flying cloud like a cage.
Immediately afterwards, a figure came flying and crashed through the clouds!
bang——
The figure of the Water Monkey King emerged from under the clouds, overthrew several generals, and headed straight for Xiao Zu!
Xiao Zu recognized that this was the demon king under Xiao Ting's command. He immediately realized who had intercepted him and immediately burst out with all his skills!
In an instant, his soul even manifested a phantom in the air. A faint blue human figure could be seen expanding outward, and there were strands of red lines connecting it to the main body of the temple.
The Water Monkey King was wrapped in this dark blue shadow, and his soul was also affected. For a moment, he could not move his limbs.
Several generals of the Canglong tribe, including the great general Ye Futu, all of whom were warriors with strong cultivation, also gathered around at this time.
But they had no chance to besiege the Water Monkey King because his brothers had also arrived.
Lei Hao revealed his true form, a lightning porcupine rushing towards him, like a giant thunder ball with the power to destroy the world, and no one dared to block its edge head-on!
Xiao Zuan flipped his hand and summoned the gray fog magic cloud, which covered the surroundings and affected everyone in the fog.
But in the next moment, an imperceptible stream of light flew out from the fog and fled towards the Phantom God Peak.
Just as he was about to escape quietly, suddenly a gust of wind like a rope wrapped around his stealthy path and trapped him tightly, followed by an arrow transformed from telekinesis piercing through him.
Swish—Xiao Zuan was hit by the arrow, his palace was shaken, and he could no longer perform the secret technique, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.
Not far away, Xiao Ting withdrew the bow and arrow that his spirit had manifested, and sneered, "You colluded with the Yin people and caused the disastrous defeat at Tianxia Pass. Do you still want to escape?"
"Why should I run away?" Xiao Zu said weakly, "We will know who is colluding with the Yin people when we return to Huanshen Peak for a confrontation!"
"Do you still want to go back and confuse right and wrong?" Xiao Ting restrained the other party tightly, revealing a ferocious expression, "I will search your soul right here and find evidence of your collusion with the Yin people!"
Stronger mystics would search the soul, so naturally they would do it too.
However, the impractical reason for this trick is that after the search, it would cause great damage to the shrine. Even for mystics of their level, after their souls were searched, their shrine would at least be damaged and their cultivation would drop.
Therefore, it will only be used on people who have just died or confirmed enemies.
Whenever he could use interrogation, he would not rashly search the soul. For example, before, he had the intention of using the little fire dragon for his own use, so he did not use this method.
But it was different for Xiao Zu. If he returned to Huanshen Peak, the priest would not have searched the Grand Master's soul that day. Both of them were empty-mouthed, accusing each other of colluding with the Yin people, and it was not certain who would be searched.
Therefore, Xiao Ting decided to strike first and search directly. Once he produced irrefutable evidence, he would naturally have the confidence to face the Heavenly Priest.
What if you searched the wrong thing?
Then apologize.
Hearing Xiao Ting's words, Xiao Zu immediately panicked. He didn't expect Xiao Ting to be so ruthless. This failure has driven him completely crazy!
"Xiao Ting, I definitely didn't collude with the Yin people to steal your magic weapon, so wake up!" His tone finally softened, with a hint of begging, "Don't forget, I am still your uncle in terms of seniority! You...I was the one who took you to the brothel for the first time! At the beginning, you and Xiao Muyun's mother had a problem, and in order to compete for the election of the high priest, you let her marry someone else. I knew all about this and never told you..."
As he shouted, Xiao Ting cast the spell faster.
Seeing that the soul-searching curse was about to fall on him, Xiao Zuan became ruthless and a purple light suddenly burst out of his eyes. Then two light gaps opened in the palace, and a ray of light shot out.
His soul escaped!
This was not just an ordinary escape, but a desperate act of abandoning the body. Without a body, even Bei Luo Shi Men would find it difficult to exert his strength.
Even if exposed to sunlight for a long time, they will naturally die.
But if he stayed here, he would be searched, and there would be no room for maneuver after the search. If he really had colluded with the Yang people, then it would be easy to deal with, Xiao Ting would take him back to Huanshen Peak to take the blame; but he was innocent, so after the search, what should Xiao Ting do?
He must be killed to put an end to this matter once and for all.
Therefore, he was doomed to die today, and he could only leave his body to survive.
But how can it be so simple?
His soul flew out at a very fast speed, but there were already people guarding it. A ball of water condensed out of thin air and instantly wrapped around Xiao Zu's soul, turning it into a water prison and trapping him inside.
"Let me go!" Xiao Zan shouted in his soul.
But unfortunately, a punch came from the sky and blew up the water prison, boom!
How could the fragile soul without a physical body withstand such a heavy blow? It exploded and was annihilated on the spot.
Poor Xiao Zuan, a great high priest with extraordinary talent, died unjustly here.
And the person who made the move was none other than the Water Monkey King!
He descended from the sky and blew Xiao Zu's soul to pieces with one punch!
