Chapter 392

The Netherworld Silkworm had regained its youthful appearance and looked like a charming and beautiful woman. It was not as old as before, but Mu Nanzi was still not used to being scrutinized by its black gem-like eyes. She frowned and shrank behind Xu Qi'an.

[Could it have seen through Nan Zhi's identity? That doesn't make sense. The bracelet given by the Jinlian Taoist priest can shield its aura. Even a warlock can't see through it …] Xu Qi'an frowned and slightly tightened his grip on the Nation Suppressing Sword.

He had already obtained the Netherworld Silkworm Silk. If it was not necessary, he did not want to fight with a Transcendent Realm strange beast.

But at the same time, he knew that the spiritual essence of the Flower Goddess was extremely tempting to those who specialized in cultivating the physique.

Just as he was about to control the Buddha's Pagoda to take Mu Nanzi and the little white fox into it, the Netherworld Silkworm's huge body suddenly trembled. Its black gem-like eyes seemed to collapse layer by layer, just like a human's pupils violently contracting.

Her beautiful face revealed an extremely excited and shocked expression. She screamed,

"Gan Mu, it's the aura of Gan Mu."

Seeing the Netherworld Silkworm suddenly became excited but showed no signs of attacking, Xu Qi'an stopped taking them and looked at Mu Nanzi's bosom.

"What did it say?"

Shirohime said in a sweet voice, "It's Sweet Wood."

？ Xu Qi'an and Mu Nanzi were confused at the same time. The former thought, "What the hell is this Mary Sue in this world?"

The latter thought, "When did I become a wood? And it's even Sweet Wood."

Xu Qi'an frowned and ordered,

"Shirohime, ask it what Sweet Wood means."

Shirohime shrieked and made strange syllables.

After listening, the Netherworld Silkworm explained,

"The Gan Mu has another name, the Immortal Tree. It grows in the Northwest Sacred Mountain of the Nine Provinces. It is thousands of feet tall and goes straight into the sky. Its juice is like blood and can be used to refine immortal medicine. Mortals who take it can prolong their life by eight hundred years.

"Its crown stretches for ten miles, and countless creatures live on it. My ancestors lived on the Undying God Tree and ate its leaves and branches for food. "

After Shirohime translated, Xu Qi'an couldn't help but look at Mu Nanzi, "Aren't you the reincarnation of the Flower Goddess? Why are you related to the Immortal Tree?"

The Netherworld Silkworm continued,

"When I was young, I once followed my ancestor to visit the Immortal God Tree and cultivated on its crown for hundreds of years. I still can't forget those luscious leaves to this day. Then, the Celestial Era came to an end, and as an innate god, the Immortal God Tree withered in that calamity. "

As it spoke, it revealed a nostalgic and infatuated expression.

As soon as Bai Ji finished translating, Xu Qi 'an immediately asked,

"Quick, ask it how the gods and devils died, and what is the relationship between the Immortal God Tree and your aunt?"

Bai Ji translated.

God? God tree.

The Nether Silkworm's expression was a bit frightened. It seemed that even after so many years, what happened back then still made it feel a lingering fear.

"One day, the gods and demons suddenly went crazy and killed each other. That turmoil was very terrible, and the Nine Regions was destroyed. The continent of the Ancient Era was many times vaster than it was now.

"There were many powerful Godfiends like Gu, but they all died in that upheaval.

"If I remember correctly, only the Gu survived. Many of us Godfiend descendants were also implicated and died in the chaos. "

So, when I saw the gods and demons fall, it wasn't because someone killed all the gods and demons, but because the gods and demons were killing each other?

The Poison God was a transcendent being, and there were many Gods and Devils at this level. I could understand that, but why did the Gods and Devils suddenly go crazy?

Xu Qi'an's mind buzzed as he digested the information and expanded his thoughts to analyze it.

"How did he go crazy?" Xu Qi'an said and looked at Shirohime.

"How did he go crazy?" Shirohime asked curiously in the Godfiend language.

"I don't know, he suddenly went crazy for no reason. My ancestor also went crazy and participated in the massacre." The Nether Silkworm shook its head.

At this time, Xu Qi'an finally found some clues and asked:

"You said that the gods and demons suddenly went crazy, but why didn't you, the descendants of the gods and demons, go crazy? How did you avoid it? "

The Nether Silkworm looked at Shirohime, and after listening to the young girl's voice, it answered:

"At first, we, the descendants of the gods and demons, didn't know the cause of the upheaval. When the Godfiend era ended and the world became peaceful, the descendants of the gods and demons tried to find the truth, and even put aside their previous hatred and discussed it together.

"In the end, we came to a conclusion, but we couldn't verify it, so we didn't know if it was accurate.

"The reason why the gods and demons went crazy may be that they were born by the Heaven and Earth, and they are Innate Gods and Demons. Although we inherited the bloodline of the gods and demons, we don't have the Godfiend Aura. "

It turned to look at Mu Nanzi and said:

"For example, the Undying Tree of God, its roots can be used to plant divine trees with medicinal properties, but those divine trees have a limited lifespan and can't be revived because they don't have the Aura of the Undying Tree.

"My ancestor said that the Undying Tree can't die. Now it seems that my ancestor didn't lie to me. Even if the Undying Tree of God withered during the upheaval, it is still standing in front of me. "

Bai Ji interrupted them with a sweet voice.

"Stop for a moment, it's hard for me to listen to such a long paragraph."

Shirohime quickly translated the Nether Silkworm's words, which made Mu Nanzi frown with a complicated expression.

She knew that she was the reincarnation of the Flower Goddess. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was infatuated with the Flower Goddess and sent troops to kidnap her back to the palace, but the Flower Goddess attracted the Heavenly Tribulation and self-immolated.

But she never thought that there was another identity in front of the Flower Goddess.

"I find it strange that the Flower Goddess's characteristics and extraordinary Aura are obviously beyond the category of demons. If she is the reincarnation of the ancient gods and demons, then it makes sense, and it also solves one of my doubts …" Xu Qi'an looked at Shirohime:

"Ask it, what is the root of the madness of the gods and demons?"

Nether Silkworm shook its head slightly:

"I don't know about that. However, there is one person who might know. Many years later, the human race and the demon race rose, especially the human race, where the first existence comparable to the Gu and the Dragon appeared. He drove us out of the Nine Regions.

"I don't want to travel far, so I live on this island. The sun and the moon change, and I can't count the years."

"Did you eat the Daoist Master's mother?" Xu Qi'an complained.

"Did you eat the Daoist Master's mother?" Little White Fox translated.

"Hey, you don't need to translate this sentence." Xu Qi'an waved his hand.

"Maybe someone ate his mother, but I think that person must know the secret of the madness of the gods and demons. He was afraid that the descendants of the gods and demons in the Nine Regions would affect him, so he drove us out." Netherworld Silkworm said.

"Thank you for telling us, Senior."

Xu Qi'an cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

He was very satisfied with this trip to the island. First, he got the Netherworld Silkworm, and was one step closer to resurrecting Wei Yuan. Second, he knew part of the truth of the fall of the gods and demons, which solved one of his doubts.

Finally, he knew the real identity of Mu Nanzi.

"The last two questions!" Xu Qi'an said:

"Can the Aura of the Immortal Tree be taken in a certain way?"

Mu Nanzi's expression changed, and she looked at Xu Qi'an with a complicated look. But strangely, she didn't step back.

The Netherworld Silkworm looked at the two of them and said:

"If you want to absorb her Aura, just eat her."

"A female version of Tang Seng? It seems that the circumcision joke won't work …" Xu Qi'an joked in his heart, turned his head, and said with a smile: "I also have to prevent you from being eaten by others."

Mu Nanzi rolled her eyes at him.

The Netherworld Silkworm said: "But this can't completely take away the Aura of the Immortal Tree. Eat her or use some other method to take it. It's just like how countless creatures relied on her to cultivate and survive in the past.

"The Aura of gods and demons is given by heaven and earth, and outsiders can't take it away. Otherwise, the Immortal Tree would have been eaten by other gods and demons, and it would have been long gone. "

"My aunt is so weak, was she bullied every day?" Shirohime took advantage of Mu Nanzi's inability to understand the language of gods and demons, so he quickly asked for gossip.

"The Immortal Tree is not weak, it's one of the three ancient sacred trees, but I don't know about her current situation." The Netherworld Silkworm shook its head.

"What did you ask?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Shirohime replied in a sweet voice: "I asked if aunt was the first beauty of the ancient times, and it said yes."

Mu Nanzi happily patted its head.

"One last question, do you know the White Emperor?" Xu Qi'an asked.

After listening to Shirohime's translation, the Netherworld Silkworm shook its head:

"What White Emperor? Never heard of him. "

I almost forgot, White Emperor is the name given to the descendant of the gods and demons by the people of Cloud State … Xu Qi'an described the appearance of the White Emperor and asked Shirohime to translate.

"This …" The Netherworld Silkworm frowned:

"If I remember correctly, after the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, their bloodline was devoured by a monster called 'Dahuang'. Why are there still descendants? "

Shirohime translated at the same time.

A chill ran down Xu Qi'an's spine: "Dahuang?"

The Netherworld Silkworm explained:

"Dahuang is a terrifying Godfiend. He and his descendants are known as the 'Dahuang' clan. The first Dahuang was an existence that could compete with the Gu.

"The innate divine ability of this bloodline is very terrifying. It can devour the blood essence and talent of living beings and turn them into its own. Back then, that terrifying Godfiend had devoured three divine trees. Although he was unable to occupy the spiritual accumulation, he still obtained great benefits.

"However, he has already fallen in the turmoil of the Gods and Demons. Not long after the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, the White Emperor clan that you speak of was devoured by the descendants of the 'Dahuang'. Yes, you can also call it Dahuang.

"If you meet him, you must be careful."

It seemed to be in a very good mood. As it spoke, it stroked its smooth and delicate skin.

The true identity of the White Emperor is the 'Dahuang' clan? The entire clan of the White Emperor was devoured by the descendants of the 'Dahuang'. Why did the Dahuang disguise itself as the White Emperor … Xu Qi'an said:

"I have no more questions."

The Netherworld Silkworm nodded.

"Then leave my territory. If you are still alive after three thousand years, you might as well come here again. I will use the Netherworld Silkworm Silk to exchange for your blood essence."

My lifespan might not be much longer than that of a Sage … Xu Qi'an cupped his hands and thought to himself, You should wait for my descendants.

He controlled the Buddha's Pagoda and flew up into the sky with Shirohime and Mu Nanzi. They transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.

…

Qingzhou.

In the main hall of the Administrative Commissioner's Office.

Yang Gong sat behind a large table and listened to Li Mubai's analysis.

"The Dongling battlefront has been completely routed. Our army has already retreated from the Dongling territory. 60% of the 30,000 troops have been lost. We are currently resting and reorganizing in Guo County.

"In Wan County, because of the Flying Beast Army of the Heart Voodoo Division, we are no longer in a passive position. The reinforcements we sent over have cooperated with the defending army and fought a few beautiful battles.

"For now, there won't be too much of a problem. The only thing we need to worry about is Songshan County … "

Yang Gong nodded slightly.

"I know that the battle in Songshan County has always been tragic. The total number of casualties on both sides has already exceeded 50,000. However, most of the voodoo army is stationed there, and the defense is impregnable. "

Li Mubai shook his head.

"It's not a problem of military strength. It's a problem of provisions. According to the information sent by Erlang, the defending army has already started gnawing on the tree roots. "

Yang Gong frowned.

"Although Qingzhou lacks provisions, it's not to the extent that it can't meet the needs of Songshan County. Besides, Songshan County is rich and its grain reserves are sufficient. Not to mention a month, even three months is enough. How do you explain the problem of provisions? "

An advisor spoke in place of Li Mubai.

"Those voodoo people can eat too much. Each of them can eat the food of 20 people, and that's a conservative estimate. In addition, the flying beasts are happy without meat, and they have directly eaten up Songshan County.

"Your excellency Xu said that there is only one way to solve the predicament, but it needs Eunuch Yang's approval."

Yang Gong understood.

The name of the plan was: cannibalism!

For the flying beasts, meat was not differentiated by species. If animals could eat it, so could humans.

The advisor who spoke first probed, "That's right.

"If it's the corpses of the rebel army …"

Yang Gong said in a deep voice, "No!"

Another advisor sighed.

"Eunuch Yang, the situation is dire. Although this plan goes against the heavens, Songshan County has already run out of food and ammunition. The flying beasts are beasts, and they eat humans. It's not like we're asking the defending army to eat humans.

"Don't let a single thought of kindness lead to defeat and loss of the entire game. The current advantage we have is something that we have exchanged with the lives of many soldiers. "

Li Mubai slapped the table and glanced at the advisor.

"Alright, we'll discuss this matter later."

He then looked at Yang Gong.

"In another month, it will be the Spring Sacrifice."

The faces of the advisors, including Yang Gong, immediately relaxed.

Yes, the Spring Sacrifice.

In another month, the mission in Qingzhou would be completed.

In addition, based on the current situation, it was a fool's dream for the Yunzhou rebel army to take down Qingzhou in a month.

An advisor stroked his beard and smiled.

"The Yunzhou Army came with such ferocious momentum. I thought they would be strong, but it's just so-so."
