Chapter 623 Golden Crow
Chapter 623 Golden Crow
The fish corpse tide stretched for hundreds of miles above the East China Sea, and as the group moved forward, the originally pitch-black fish corpse tide began to turn a strange blood red.
The inner demon spoke softly:
"A fresh corpse."
"It seems that the culprit who massacred so many aquatic creatures in the East China Sea is still here."
Upon hearing this, everyone present except Xue Lan's expression changed.
Xue Tong couldn't help but look at Xue Lan:
"Isn't there still a current Golden Crow in the East China Sea?"
Xue Lan nodded gently: "That's true, but the new Golden Crow is not the Demon Lord after all."
"Do the cultivation restrictions of the Yuanming Realm also hinder the Golden Crow?"
The girl's curious voice reached his ears, and the inner demon picked up on it:
"Yes, it also applies to the Golden Crow."
"To be precise, it hinders the cultivation of all living beings in the Yuanming Realm, especially the Golden Crow."
"The Golden Crow is even more powerful?"
Xue Tong was completely confused.
"It was created by the will of Heaven." The inner demon circled behind Xue Tong and tapped her on the head:
"The sunrise and sunset of the great sun in the Yuan and Ming dynasties depended on it. It was indispensable."
"So Heaven gave birth to one."
Xue Tong immediately understood.
"The new golden crow was forced to grow by the will of Heaven."
"Ruzi can be taught."
The inner demon nodded with satisfaction, then slowly walked behind Xue Lan, signaling the Wolf King to continue the conversation.
"The rules of the Yuanming Realm cannot be abolished. Only the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the turning of rivers, and the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death can keep the Yuanming Realm running."
Xue Tong nodded knowingly.
Every world has its own rules of operation, and the Golden Crow is an unshakeable part of the rules of the Yuanming Realm.
So even if one dies, Heaven will quickly create another to replace it.
"Although the Heavenly Dao can give birth to new golden crows..." Xue Lan smiled faintly:
"Keep changing the equipment isn't a good idea."
Even the most diligent Heaven cannot work one death at a time. If it could, the Demon Clan would have been driven out of the Yuanming Realm by the Golden Crow army long ago.
The sins committed by the demons should not be paid for with the lives of the beings of the Yuanming Realm.
Thinking of this, Xue Lan turned to look at the people behind her, her tone surprisingly a little embarrassed:
"I'm sorry everyone, following Xue Lan has really been like going from the jaws of a wolf to the den of a tiger."
Xue Tong tapped on her inner demon:
"coming."
The Wolf King's routine conscience-soothing moment before he was about to cause trouble.
The inner demon smiled and nodded:
"Guess how many people will pay attention to her."
"One, I guess," Xue Tong guessed.
"The master of Qiu City is a respectable person."
As expected, after Xue Lan finished speaking, everyone's speed increased rapidly, quickly leaving the Wolf King, who still wore a gentle smile, behind. Only the dignified Qiu Yinzhen stepped forward to exchange a few polite words:
"My lord, what are you saying? It's all for the sake of Yuanming Realm, and we're not afraid of death."
Xue Lan watched the departing figures of the group, smiled, and raised her hand to Qiu Yinzhen:
Let's encourage each other.
The next instant, the Wolf King's penetrating voice entered everyone's minds:
"Why are you running? Do you even know where you are?"
"Stop everyone!"
Xue Tong stopped abruptly and looked at the inner demon beside her:
"What is this?"
The inner demon casually utters hurtful words:
"Exasperated, or in your words... this is called breaking down the defenses."
Xue Lan's icy hand had somehow landed on her neck, and then suddenly tightened.
"I'm blind, not deaf. Next time you're talking bad about me, be careful not to do it to me!"
The inner demon was inherently ruthless and fearless, and the woman trembled in the wind like a noodle, her stubbornness frightening:
"Go ahead and strangle me if you dare!"
Xue Lan really doesn't have that ability.
Lord Wolf asked Qiu Yinzhen to lead the way, then abandoned his inner demons and ran to the back to hug Yinhun and cry, complaining as he cried.
Xue Tong vaguely heard words such as "doesn't love" and "bullies".
"Really..." The girl covered her eyes.
I suddenly miss Xue Lan from the very beginning.
"When exactly did she become like this?"
"When did it become like this?"
Touching his neck, the inner demon spoke with some surprise:
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that? Didn't you all condone this?"
The inner demon grabbed Xue Tong's sleeve and started shaking it:
"I want Xue Lan from my past life, you have to make it up to me."
Xue Tong irritably shook her off:
"roll!"
"Who owes you anything? I'm just someone who took over halfway through."
The inner demons won't let go, they keep shaking:
"I don't care, you owe me Xue Lan from my past life!"
"Go find Master Lingyuan, go find the First Animal Keeper!"
Don't force me to curse you!
As the last sentence escaped his lips, the inner demon swiftly withdrew his hand, appearing docile.
"whispering sound."
A mocking voice came from behind him. The inner demon turned around in annoyance and saw Xue Lan's gloating face.
Lord Wolf, holding the Soul Guide, mouthed the words to her:
"I thought you weren't scared anymore!"
Inner demon: I really want to kill it.
During the rest of the journey, the inner demon stood behind Qiu Yinzhen and considered 18,000 ways to get rid of Xue Lan without harming himself, but all of them failed to materialize.
Xue Lan is incredibly resilient to the inner demons.
After traveling for a day, the azure sky gradually darkened, and the clouds were tinged with deathly energy. Xue Tong stood on a cloud and looked down...
The sea had long since turned an eerie dark red, with crimson waves churning and roaring incessantly.
"Haven't we arrived yet? That's a bit scary."
"We've arrived. Look ahead."
Xue Lan's calm voice sounded from behind, and Xue Tong looked up at the distant horizon.
The distant horizon looked perfectly fine, with the upper half dark and the lower half blood red.
Xue Lan patted Xue Tong on the shoulder from behind:
"I'll invite you to watch the sunset."
"Watching the sunset?"
Xue Tong was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what Xue Lan was talking about.
Everyone turned around abruptly, and a huge, round fireball appeared in the sky behind them, radiating heat unbearable for ordinary people. It was hurtling rapidly towards the depths of the East China Sea.
That's the sun.
Xue Tong never imagined she would see the sun so closely in her life. The girl stared intently at the falling fireball. Suddenly, a cold hand covered her eyes.
It's Awu.
"What's wrong, A-Wu?"
"Didn't you learn before that you shouldn't look at the sun for too long?"
The inner demon spoke coldly:
"Although it is the setting sun, the heat it contains is enough to burn you blind and keep Xue Lan company."
"I understand." Xue Tong covered her eyes.
"It would be better to remove the last sentence."
The inner demon smiled but remained silent.
A despicable person never takes back what they say.
While everyone else covered their eyes, she and Xue Lan stared directly at the setting sun.
"The Golden Crow is not here." The inner demon chuckled as he transmitted his voice to Xue Lan:
"It dropped the sun."
"Boom!"
As the setting sun, trailing a fiery tail, sank into the East China Sea and fell silent, the entire sea surface instantly boiled, and the already turbulent seawater surged into even larger waves, as if trying to climb to the clouds.
"The golden crow doesn't bring the sun in front of it..." Xue Lan said softly.
"That is..."
"seal up!"
The moment the boundless heat wave swept over everyone from behind, Xue Lan turned around and shielded them all behind her. Then, she mobilized all her divine soul power, flicked her sleeve, and unleashed a crescent-shaped wisp of cold air that collided with the towering golden flames.
Water vapor fell from the sky, forming a cool sea fog on the sea surface. The giant black wolf, transformed from the inner demon, stood up from behind Xue Lan and swept its tail to protect everyone except Xue Lan in its arms.
Xue Lan clutched her chest in discomfort, then chuckled softly as she looked at a golden hue not far away:
“Fellow Daoist Jinwu, I accept your gift.”
