When Jinghe Dragon King saw his daughter's reaction, his gaze trembled slightly. A strange light flashed across his eyes. His entire spirit seemed to collapse in an instant, and his figure was no longer tall and straight.
"Xiuxiu, I might have been wrong …" He sighed faintly and said.
Hearing this, Ma Xiuxiu looked at him with a deep frown. She was puzzled and asked, "What did you do wrong?"
"As your father, I did not give you anything, but gave you this hatred. I was really wrong. I was so wrong." He raised his hand and gently stroked Ma Xiuxiu's hair. His gaze was gentle as he said this.
"Father, what are you talking about? You were not wrong. We were not wrong. They were the ones who were wrong. "Ma Xiuxiu's expression suddenly froze. She took two steps back and shouted loudly.
Jinghe Dragon King's hand froze in mid-air, and a sad expression appeared on his face.
Ma Xiuxiu did not want to argue with him anymore. She turned her head to look at Shen Luo and said, "Brother Shen, please let us go. I will never forget today's kindness. I will repay it a hundred times in the future."
"I can spare his life," Shen Luo said as he sheathed his sword behind his back.
Hearing this, Ma Xiuxiu was overjoyed. Just as she was about to thank him, she saw Shen Luo waving his hand and stopping her.
"I can spare his life, but I can't let him go. The ghost invasion this time has caused great damage to both the Yin and Yang Realms. I don't have the authority to let him go. Everything will be decided by the Netherworld and the Tang Empire. "
After saying this, Shen Luo took out a black silk book. With a rub of his palm, he crushed it.
As the black silk book turned into ashes, a layer of black smoke emerged from it and turned into a black whirlpool that spun non-stop.
Not long after, a red horse-face emerged from the whirlpool, followed by his legs and body.
When Shen Luo saw the appearance of the Soul-Reaping Horse-Face, he wanted to go up and greet him. However, he saw him walk to the side and raise his hand to form a seal. He struck towards the black whirlpool.
As the strands of magic power seeped in, the black vortex that should have dissipated did not immediately disappear. A black official's boot also stretched out from behind.
After that, a dazzling red official's robe appeared. It was Zhong Kui.
"Greetings, Seniors." Shen Luo immediately cupped his fists in greeting.
"No need to be so courteous. You've done well." Zhong Kui waved his hand and said.
With that, he turned and looked at the Jinghe Dragon King. His eyes began to flicker with a faint golden light.
An invisible pressure came crashing down, causing Jinghe Dragon King's body to shrink and almost fall to the ground. As for Ma Xiuxiu, she was already paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up.
"How dare you, evil dragon! Do you know your sins?"
Zhong Kui's shout was like a clap of thunder exploding in his ears, causing Shen Luo's heart to tremble violently.
"Sin or wrong, I will bear all of it. It has nothing to do with Xiuxiu." As Jinghe Dragon King spoke, he suppressed a mouthful of blood and slowly straightened his body.
How could a father bow and bend his knees in front of his daughter?
Upon hearing this, the golden light in Zhong Kui's eyes gradually dimmed and the invisible pressure also dissipated.
"Since you know your wrongs, return to the netherworld with me. You have committed murder and disturbed Yin and Yang. You should enter the Avici Hell and suffer the pain of reincarnation. "Zhong Kui's eyes focused and said.
"I've been imprisoned under the Hellfire of the Red Lotus for twenty years. I've had enough of the torture of hatred and pain. It's not hard to enter the Avici Hell again. Since Yuan Ran is no longer here, I'll just continue to spread hatred if I continue to live. Why don't I let everything return to dust and disappear?" Jinghe Dragon King's gaze drifted into the distance as if he saw the gentle, virtuous, and beautiful woman of the past.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui's gaze darkened slightly and he did not say anything.
"Xiuxiu, you still have a long way to go. Don't keep hatred as your companion. Live for yourself in the future." Jinghe Dragon King helped his daughter up and said earnestly.
"Father …" Ma Xiuxiu vaguely guessed something and called out in a panic.
Jinghe Dragon King only smiled at her and shook his head, grabbing her wrist.
In the next moment, a ray of light lit up in Jinghe Dragon King's lower abdomen and rose along the direction of his conception meridian. Along the way, light was constantly absorbed. When it gathered in between his eyebrows, it had become exceptionally bright.
As if his entire body was burning, a black flame leaped out of his body and his entire body began to burn violently.
He grabbed Ma Xiuxiu's hand and a scorching power seeped into her body.
"Ah …"
Ma Xiuxiu could not help but wail in pain. Her skin cracked inch by inch and layers of scales appeared.
"Pa!" A crisp sound was heard!
A fist-sized snow-white dragon pearl separated from Jinghe Dragon King's eyebrows and shattered.
Countless firefly-like pure dragon essence drifted out from the shattered dragon pearl and gathered in mid-air to form a snow-white Milky Way. It rushed toward Ma Xiuxiu's eyebrows.
"Father …"
Ma Xiuxiu watched as her father's body gradually turned illusory and scattered like ashes until the palm that was holding her wrist disappeared. She finally could not hold it in and wailed loudly.
At the same time, an intense burning sensation came from between her eyebrows. An endless stream of dragon essence poured into her body like a river, causing her body to emit a snow-white light.
Ma Xiuxiu's painful wails kept coming from her mouth. She fell to the ground and struggled endlessly.
Upon seeing this, Shen Luo immediately went forward and wanted to help her up.
However, just as his hand reached over, the blood in his body seemed to be boiling. A dry and hot feeling came from all over his body. A wisp of snow-white dragon essence separated from the Milky Way and flowed toward his fingertips.
The moment Shen Luo's fingertips touched the dragon essence, the light suddenly pierced his skin and poured into his body.
Soon, he began to fall to the ground and could not get up. His body twitched violently.
Vaguely, Shen Luo felt that the blood in his body was combining with the dragon essence that flowed into his body. The two seemed to be able to supplement each other, stimulating each other and constantly surging in Shen Luo's body.
The spiritual power in Shen Luo's body was driven by this force and began to circulate on its own. The speed was many times faster than when he was cultivating by himself. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the feeling of cultivating in his dream.
It was just that the speed of this force was too fast, making him somewhat unable to withstand it. He almost lost control of his divine sense.
While his mind was weak, his vision also became a little blurry. He could only vaguely see Ma Xiuxiu's body in front of him becoming brighter and brighter in an almost transparent white light. Her slender figure also seemed to be getting longer and longer.
"Ao …"
With a resonant dragon's roar, Ma Xiuxiu completely shed her human form. She turned into a true dragon covered in black scales, but her body shone with white light. She took off into the sky and shot off.
Zhong Kui watched all this silently from the side and did not make a move to stop it.
Shen Luo, who was at his feet, had already absorbed all the remaining dragon essence. The skin all over his body turned red and his body curled up in pain. He looked like a shrimp that was about to be cooked.
"Sir, will this kid be okay?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face was very worried and could not help but ask.
"Don't worry, he obtained an enormous fortuitous encounter … But it's slightly strange. Why would the Dragon Essence enter his body?" Zhong Kui's eyes flashed with a wisp of bewilderment as he spoke.
