Yao Family Ancestral Temple.
Yao Vine, who was floating in the air, looked at the neat rows of spirit tablets with a gratified smile on her face.
Yao Lie stood respectfully in front of the spirit tablets and bowed slightly. These were the ancestors of the Yao Family who came from the Dark Blood Era after the Goddess of Calamity System descended.
It was because of their tireless efforts and perseverance that they were able to prosper to such an extent. Furthermore, the guardian spirit, the Jade Green Demonic Vine, had accompanied every single Yao Family Head in battle ever since.
"Little Yao Lie, losing the family's keepsake is a very bad sign. In recent years, I've often felt that my strength is constantly slipping away. Perhaps in less than three years, I'll completely return to nature," Yao Vine said softly as her hands slowly stroked the spirit tablets, her eyes filled with gentleness and reluctance.
"Lord Yao Vine! I will definitely retrieve the lost family keepsake. You've protected our Yao Family for hundreds of years, how could you … "Yao Lie was shocked when he heard this. He took a step forward, but was stopped by Yao Vine's smile.
"Little Yao Lie, you've already done very well. Yao Qin didn't become a player when he was your age, so you don't have to feel too burdened. " Yao Vine looked at the centermost spirit tablet, her eyes revealing a trace of admiration that had never been revealed before.
Yao Qin was the strongest Yao Family Master in history. He rose from nothing and became a Level 6 player in one fell swoop. He led the Yao Family to a true resurgence, which was why they became such a prosperous family in the future. He was also part of the first batch of players, in the same period as the famous [Lighthouse] and the others.
It was said that Yao Vine's first partner was Yao Qin. He was the one who forcefully pulled her back from the path of Calamity. After that, the entire family worshipped her, allowing her to gradually grow into a Guardian Spirit.
Today, Yao Vine and the Dragon God of the Long Family were the only two Guardian Spirits of the Seven Veins of the Ancient Martial Arts that were still alive.
"Regarding the child I saw today, he did indeed have the smell of the Sealed Land on him. You should know what's sealed there. But the strange thing is, his heart was reflected in my mind without a trace of evil, and that aura disappeared when he sensed me approaching. " Yao Vine revealed a trace of doubt, stroking Yao Qin's spirit tablet, and said softly, "I keep feeling that a huge disaster is coming. Perhaps the child you brought is our hope to break through this disaster."
"Disaster? Li Xiang? He's not even a Level-3 Magician. If there's a disaster that even I can't stop, what can he do? " Yao Lie didn't understand. He was only here to help his sister return the favor by inviting him into the Yao Clan's hot spring.
"Little girl, do you know that there's an ancient common sense? As long as it is a highly toxic substance, there will definitely be an antidote within seven steps. Since that child has that aura but has not been invaded, perhaps he is the key to breaking away from this ancient martial fate that has existed for hundreds of years! "Yao Zan looked at her." Didn't you say that you wanted to let him enter the hot spring? Then let's arrange it at night. I'll personally baptize him. "
"This … Lord Yao Mang, your power is fading. If you do it yourself …" Yao Lie was shocked. Over the years, there had only been two instances where Yao Mang had personally baptized her clansmen. The first time was for her, and the second time was for her younger sister, Yao Ji.
To be able to receive this honor, it meant that they were disciples of the Yao Clan that she had high hopes for. As long as Yao Man was still alive, the two sisters would not be in any danger.
"It's fine. You go and inform him. I'm a little tired. You should go." Yao Man shook her head and said firmly. Then, she turned her gaze back to the Yao Qin spirit tablet.
Yao Lie could only take his leave.
.....
Inside the hotel.
Li Xiang sat cross-legged on the bed. As he cultivated, he recalled the scene when he met the Lovers card during the day. Venus was very resourceful. She looked like a little loli who could not grow up, but in reality, she had lived for countless years.
How could she have bumped into him and not anyone else?
Moreover, the force of the collision had attracted his attention.
If it were a normal person, their bones would have been shattered.
Combined with the strange words she said before she left, Li Xiang felt that something was going to happen.
Was the tarot card going to make a move against the Yao Clan?
'Did Venus specifically remind me to leave as soon as possible? Could it be that there are differences within the tarot card, and there are different views? ' Li Xiang carefully recalled the past. In his memory, he had become the holder of the Major Acana card at the end of the organization's history. The elusive Fool had also died.
Internally, there were indeed a few cards with different intentions. However, in his memory, two of the Lovers card were extremely loyal to The Fool, and they had also died protecting him.
"According to my earlier deduction, The Fool and the Evil Leader are not the same person. However, Vice-Principal Jeffrey said that the tarot cards were also involved in the night rain incident. Obviously, they were going against the Five Sovereigns. Therefore, at least The Fool and the Evil Leader are allies. However, as long as they are not the same person, there will definitely be disagreements between the members of The Fool and the Evil Leader."
Li Xiang slowly pondered and soon found another problem.
If the tarot card was going to make a move against the Yao Clan, it would definitely be Osiris and his gang who had taken away the family's keepsake. If he was an Evil Leader, then why would the Lovers card of The Fool come here?
'What exactly are they plotting …' Li Xiang let out a long breath. He felt that the fog was getting thicker. To solve this, he would have to go deep into the tarot card.
There was a knock on the door.
"Lord Li Xiang, we are here to bring you to the clan's land."
"Okay." Li Xiang stood up and temporarily stopped his train of thought. His purpose this time was to test the effects of the baptism. After the trip to the Death Omen Star Curtain, he clearly felt that his physique had improved again. Perhaps this baptism would allow him to have a breakthrough.
A few Yao Clan disciples stood outside the door, looking at him with envy.
That was the baptism of the Demon Vine!
Once again, he followed them up the Sky Stairway to the Floating City. Li Xiang looked around and saw that the lights in the Demon Vine were still dim. He was filled with emotions.
Such a beautiful night scene could not be seen on the other side of the Death Sea.
Every house was brightly lit. Through the windows, he could see the harmonious and happy families. As the largest number of ordinary people, they lived happily under the protection of the players. They had a small but happy life.
The hundreds of years of struggle were not wrong.
Bai Lili wanted to destroy and rebuild. She wanted to create a new world and explore the so-called other side of the River of Eternity. It was just her long-cherished wish.
For most of the humans, the present was enough.
The night breeze was slightly cold.
The hot spring was located at the highest point of the Floating City. It was right below the Demon Vine's main body, the thousand-year-old vine.
At the highest point, he could clearly see the entire Demon Vine. The Demon Vine sat on the vine leaf, looking down at the ground, looking at the city that she protected day and night.
"How is the night scene here?" She suddenly asked.
At this moment, only the two of them were left. Li Xiang took off his clothes and jumped into the hot spring. The water inside was very comfortable. He had not rested like this for a long time. After letting out a satisfied sound, he smiled and replied, "It's very beautiful, very peaceful."
"You have a lot of wounds on your body. How did you get them?" The Demon Vine flew down from the sky and also took off her dress.
Her body was emitting a dark green light. After the hot spring water came into contact with her skin, it became bright and shiny. A natural and fresh aura rose up. It was a jade-green color.
The Demon Vine used her hand to gently wipe his body. Wherever it passed, the ugly scars slowly disappeared. Even the internal injuries inside were quietly getting better.
Since the Polar night, Li Xiang had experienced countless battles. It was inevitable that there were many injuries left on his body. These headache-inducing internal injuries would erupt from time to time, but he had always relied on his strong willpower to suppress them.
Today, he finally had a chance to completely repair them.
The Demon Vine was using her own body's essence to purify him.
"Thank you." Li Xiang smiled and suddenly stepped back a bit, stopping her hand that was reaching down. "There's no need here."
"Haha, a child can also be shy? In my eyes, you're as young as a newborn baby. " The Demon Vine pursed her lips and chuckled, as if recalling something from the past. She also stopped her mischievous hand and continued to carefully heal his wounds and purify his body.
"But in my eyes, you're a girl of the same age as me." Li Xiang chuckled. The Demon Vine was not wearing anything. Her beautiful body naturally had endless attraction in the eyes of a hot-blooded youth like him.
This was his nature.
"Is that so? I thought you thought I was an old witch. " The Demon Vine stroked his heart. Her body trembled slightly. "Your body … seems a little different from a human's."
"Mm." He nodded and did not say anything else.
A surge of life force came from his heart, making her, a spirit born of nature, feel a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before.
There was clearly an extremely terrifying disaster aura in her body. But after passing through his body, it became full of life.
It was as if his body was a special processing machine, able to recreate those chaotic and evil things, changing them into a part of himself.
The Demon Vine had never seen such a life force before.
It was very similar to the most basic life force of nature.
The perfect combination of human and disaster, was it really the correct path to evolution?
It seemed that only this youth could give her the answer.
"Your body is different from a human's. Even if you leave it alone, it will automatically evolve every day. In less than three months, in October, your body should be able to reach the standard of a level 3 magician." The Demon Vine touched his heart and said quietly.
Li Xiang was stunned. This time was much faster than he expected.
This meant that in next year's galactic turbulence, if he successfully advanced, he would be like Bai Dongxue, a player in his second year.
All the changes came from the awakening of the bloodline in his body. The unknown change after he sank to the bottom of the Dead Sea.
At that time, he felt that he had received something when he was hugged by Bai Lili.
The Primordial Array in his heart was still being analyzed. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be completed in three months.
"Is that so? It's much earlier than I thought. "His face was still calm.
"But you're very calm. I'm telling you this to let you understand that my baptism does not intend to forcefully increase your body's constitution. For you, this is not a good thing." The Demon Vine gently lifted her hair. Her body became slightly transparent. "But I still hope that you can help the Demon Family in the future."
"As long as I can do it." He nodded. Li Xiang had always been clear about gratitude and grudges. Since he accepted their benefits, he would naturally do his part.
The Demon Vine could feel the sincerity in his words. This was enough. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly felt an indescribable evil aura spread out in Demon City.
Li Xiang's reaction was faster than her. It was not because of his strong perception, but because this smell was too familiar to him.
"Absolute Death Aura!" He suddenly raised his head and saw a faint black aura in the sky.
The source of the Absolute Death Aura was a huge military airship. Looking at it, it was clearly a large combat airship made by the military. It was equipped with a rarely seen Giant Origin Cannon!
The blueprints of these airships were all secrets among secrets. This combat airship did not have a regular serial number. It could be seen that it was made by the military. Then it must have very detailed blueprints and core technology.
There were people in the military who would sell such confidential documents to tarot cards?
A thought suddenly appeared.
The border goods that Wang Chongyue and the others had escorted last time!
"Kacha kacha — —"
The huge airship circled above Demon City. It slowly opened the spiral wings at the base, revealing a black steel pipe.
"Sh * t!" Li Xiang stood up. The Demon Vine was one step faster than him. She floated naked in the air. Green dots of light descended from her body, enveloping the spreading Absolute Death Aura.
Most of the Absolute Death Aura was blocked by the light barrier. A small portion was swallowed by the green dots of light.
But there was still a bit that escaped and fell into the city below!
In an instant, countless screams intertwined in the sky.
"City, be alert!"
The Demon Vine's voice was loud and piercing. There was a trace of extreme anger on her face. Even if an enemy came knocking, this was the first time she attacked a civilian without warning!
Hearing the Demon Vine's call, Yao Lie and several other players immediately flew into the air.
"Lord Demon Vine!" One of the middle-aged men was wearing a military uniform. He had the rank of colonel. He was the head of Demon City's military.
"Go and disperse the crowd. This black aura is very corrosive. Use the highest protection protective clothing in the warehouse and disperse everyone in the city immediately!" The Demon Vine decisively ordered.
The other party was so aggressive. It seemed like they were here to destroy the city.
The middle-aged man nodded and flew down. At the same time, he notified City 0978's military headquarters.
The moment the Absolute Death Aura invaded Demon City, it fell into endless panic. The situation was worse than they had expected.
A large number of Tarot Card Organization members had infiltrated Demon City in Never Shut City, including the outer members and subordinate groups. A bloody massacre had begun.
This was an organized and premeditated killing operation.
Without any warning, it was launched suddenly.
The huge airship slowly shifted, aiming the steel pipes at the Demon Vine and the others.
Boom!
The huge cannon roared. Without hesitation, it directly shot out an extremely thick pillar of air!
"Shield open!" Yao Lie stood at the front. A huge light shield opened in front of him and collided with the pillar of air.
The turbulent airflow shattered the windows of the surrounding super buildings. Countless screams came from within.
The huge shield cracked after the first attack, but the airship's attack did not stop. Six more steel pipes extended, aiming at the players and the city below.
"Protect the city!" The demonic vines flew below and blocked a terrifying shot. Her spiritual body swayed as a result and was smashed into the floating city.
"Damn it." Yao Lie blocked the cannon fire. He was very anxious. The other party was here to destroy the city. Moreover, they seemed to know that Lord Demon Vine could only explode with the strength of a Level 6 player by merging with her main body. This consumed a lot of her energy, so she would not use it easily.
A few players barely blocked the cannon fire.
This kind of Elemental Cannon consumed a lot of resources. One shot cost billions of Blue Star Coins. It could be said that Osiris had used up all his money this time.
After more than ten shots, the Demon City fell into a sea of fire. One player was injured, but they still managed to block this wave of attacks.
These cannonballs almost emptied Osiris's inventory. His face was dark. He raised his staff with one hand and the Absolute Death Aura continued to spread.
"Hand over Lord Evil Leader's skull. Otherwise, your Yao Family will be completely destroyed!"
Following his angry roar, the countless Tarot Card Organization members below responded like a mountain and a sea.
Li Xiang stood in the hot spring, frowning. He did not move for the time being. At the end of his vision, a giant walked step by step toward the walls of the Demon City.
The girl on the giant's shoulder seemed to have noticed his gaze. She waved at him forcefully.
