Chapter 414: The Reason for Che Laoyao's Betrayal
The man, who was already pale to begin with, now looked even paler without a trace of blood. After the light blade broke through the light curtain formed by the jade pendant, the flame of essence immediately pounced on it.
"ah!!!"
A sharp roar was heard, and the Firebird wrapped the entire body of the Black Phoenix youth.
The blazing silver flames submerged him like a surging tide. In the blink of an eye, the screams faded away and soon became silent.
Ye Changsheng put away the Heavenly Demon Spear. His face turned pale and his breath was weak.
After using so many spiritual treasures in succession, his magic power was almost exhausted. Killing a Void Refining cultivator was not an easy task for him.
Che Laoyao on the side looked at this scene with a pale face, waving the Ten Thousand Demons Banner desperately. The spirits of ten thousand demons rushed out and continuously attacked the space of the Black Wind Flag, trying to escape.
However, this effort was obviously in vain. The Ice Phoenix held a silver feather-like sword in its hand, and with one strike , countless spirits would be directly shattered.
Those spirits that transformed into various monsters seemed vulnerable in front of her, and a random blow could wipe out a large number of them.
Che Laoyao's Ten Thousand Demons Banner was originally a replica of a spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Demon Banner. Although the power of his replica spiritual treasure is almost the same as the real one,
But after all, it's still a step short.
This shortcoming might not be noticeable in the human world. After all, in the human world, it is impossible for a cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation to unleash the full power of a spiritual treasure.
But in the spiritual world, things are completely different.
The reason why spiritual treasures are so powerful, besides being made of extraordinary materials, is that they can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth to attack.
This is something that ordinary magic weapons cannot do. Even the most advanced magic weapons cannot mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, so there is a huge difference in power between them and spiritual treasures.
However, this difference is not easily noticeable in the human world due to the scarcity of the vital energy of heaven and earth.
In the spiritual world, where the vital energy of heaven and earth is abundant, the difference in power between spiritual treasures and magic treasures becomes very obvious.
After all, Che Laoyao's imitation magic treasure is still a little lacking in this aspect and cannot compare to the real magic treasure in Bingfeng's hand.
The Fengli Sword is also a magical treasure passed down from the ancestors of Bingyuan Island. In the hands of Bingfeng, it has unleashed infinite power.
Even though Old Demon Che's magic power was stronger than that of the Ice Phoenix, he was still struggling and could only barely resist in front of this magical treasure.
And when he saw the young man from the Black Phoenix clan being defeated by Ye Changsheng, a feeling of despair immediately surged in his heart.
The black wind surged, and more than a dozen thick wind pillars attacked him. Che Laoyao let out a loud shout, and the countless demon souls in the Ten Thousand Demons Banner also turned into more than a dozen gray light pillars and rushed towards those wind pillars.
Ye Changsheng snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Yuanci Mountain became dozens of feet in size and smashed down heavily.
"boom!"
After a loud and earth-shaking noise, the gray light emitted from the Ten Thousand Demons Banner dissipated in the blink of an eye. The Ten Thousand Demons Banner itself seemed unable to withstand such pressure. With a wail, the flag made a sound of explosion.
"Bang!"
The flag that had accompanied Che Laoyao for thousands of years exploded and was destroyed.
In the blink of an eye, Che Laoyao was caught in a dozen wind columns. Countless fine and dense wind blades cut his body, leaving him covered with wounds in the blink of an eye.
No matter how powerful his physical body was, it was still no match for a spiritual treasure and was instantly turned into a pile of rotten meat.
A green light flew out from his body. It was Che Laoyao's soul. However, this soul now looked obviously wrong. It was wrapped in wisps of thick black fog.
"ah!!!"
A shrill roar was heard, and Che Laoyao seemed to be in great pain, with an extremely distorted expression on his soul's face.
Bing Feng frowned upon seeing this, put away the Fengli Sword, and walked towards Ye Changsheng.
The two stood side by side, looking at the soul of the old demon Che running around in the space of the Black Wind Flag.
As if trying to escape from this space, Che Laoyao was flying around like a headless fly, but every time he flew to the edge of this space, a black light would flash and teleport him back.
"Fellow Daoist Ye! No, Lord Ye, please spare my life. I am willing to serve you as my master and become a spirit beast, ready to be driven by you!"
In the Black Wind Flag space, the desperate pleading voice of Che Laoyao was heard, and a strong desire to survive burst out from his eyes.
He had gone through all sorts of means and paid a huge price to ascend from the human world. He didn't want to die just like that. He hadn't yet advanced to the realm of refining emptiness and hadn't gained eternal life. How could he be willing to let it end like this?
He has paid so much to live to this day, how can he die just like that?
He is unwilling to accept it!
He would even be willing to be a slave. He would do anything as long as he could survive.
As long as you survive, there is a glimmer of hope!
"Fairy Feng, for the sake of being a fellow Taoist in the human world, please spare my life!" Seeing Ye Changsheng's expressionless face, Old Demon Che shouted and turned his target of begging for mercy to Bing Feng.
But Bing Feng was not a kind-hearted woman. She snorted coldly and said, "Daoyou, you have done so many things against us. Don't you think it's too late to say these words now?"
"I had no choice. The Wolf King's men came to my door, how could I dare to hide anything from Fellow Daoist Ye!" Che Laoyao shouted loudly.
"Really? Then what about my case? Did the Black Phoenix Clan also take the initiative to find you?" Bing Feng snorted coldly and asked.
When Che Laoyao heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold.
It was indeed not the Black Phoenix Clan who approached him about the Ice Phoenix, but he was the one who approached the Black Phoenix Clan and told them about the Ice Phoenix.
"No need to say more. You may have your reasons, but since you betrayed both of us, the outcome is already determined!" Ye Changsheng said coldly.
He stretched out his hand and sucked Che Laoyao's soul to his front.
Looking at the layers of black fog lingering on the soul, and feeling the resentment contained therein that could not be washed away even if all the rivers and seas were poured out, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Holding down Che Laoyao's soul from a distance, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he directly used the soul-searching method.
With a scream, Che Laoyao's soul stopped moving and his eyes became dull.
At this moment, the layers of black mist shrouding his soul seemed to sense something and began to surge, rushing towards Che Laoyao's soul.
But under the suppression of Ye Changsheng's magic power, the black fog was always blocked outside Che Laoyao's soul and could not rush in for the time being.
After a while, Ye Changsheng suddenly withdrew his hand and quickly took a step back.
The black fog that was originally suppressed by him suddenly exploded and turned into a black light ball several feet in size. The black fog inside rolled and turned into a series of hideous faces.
Those faces were of different shapes and looked like various monsters.
With astonishing resentment, they opened their mouths wide and bit towards Che Laoyao's soul.
The soul of Che Laoyao, who had just experienced a soul-searching, was extremely dazed and did not react at all, allowing the monsters transformed from the black mist to bite him to their heart's content.
However, his occasional twitching movements also revealed the pain he was enduring.
In a short while, the green light was completely swallowed up by the black fog. The faces of the countless monsters in the black fog seemed to be crazy and roared.
Ye Changsheng frowned, and quickly put away the Black Wind Flag, releasing the black fog out of the space.
Then, he pulled Bingfeng away from here, staying far away from the black fog, as if he didn't want to be contaminated by it at all.
"What is that?" Bing Feng looked at the black mist that swallowed up the soul of Che Laoyao with some horror.
Seeing the old demon in this state, he must be completely dead, and I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to reincarnate.
This kind of death is rare.
"That is resentment. The resentment of the people he killed is haunting him!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
"Resentment, this... is it those millions of monsters?!" Bing Feng suddenly exclaimed as if she remembered something.
"Yes, in order to build the reverse spirit channel, he slaughtered millions of monsters in the Ten Thousand Monster Valley and refined the Monster Soul Stone. Since then, this resentment has been haunting him!" Ye Changsheng said.
After searching the soul of Old Demon Che, Ye Changsheng immediately understood why the old demon wanted to betray him.
He himself won't live long!
This ball of resentment entangled him, not only making it difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation, but also eroding his soul day and night, tormenting him and making his life worse than death.
Even if he does nothing, if this continues, within a few years his soul will be completely corroded by this resentment and he will go insane and die.
Mass slaughter of living beings is a very taboo thing, whether in the human world or the spiritual world.
It was actually fine when he was in the human world. Even though Old Demon Che slaughtered millions of monsters, he didn't reveal any problems.
But after arriving in the spiritual world, the problem suddenly became serious. The constraints of the rules of heaven on the cultivators in the spiritual world are undoubtedly more severe than those on the cultivators in the human world.
After Old Demon Che ascended, the resentment in his body exploded.
It almost drove him insane and he died.
Fortunately, his soul, which had reached the level of a god, was strong enough to barely suppress the resentment and prevent it from backlashing against him for the time being.
However, as time passed, although he suppressed this resentment, he was also constantly eroded.
With every day that passed, he was one step closer to death.
If he doesn't want to die like this, he must do something.
Although large-scale slaughter of living beings in the spiritual world is a taboo and will result in severe backlash, there are geniuses in every race and there are always some talented ones who can work out some ways to avoid such backlash.
Just like every true spirit catastrophe in the spiritual world before, after the Xuantian treasure was born, those super clans would use blood sacrifice to determine the location of the Xuantian treasure.
The blood sacrifice method slaughters so many lives, but the person presiding over it is often unharmed, because there is a means to avoid backlash.
However, no matter which clan this method belongs to, it is definitely in the hands of the top leaders and will not be easily spread to outsiders.
Because if the news gets out, some people with evil intentions will have evil intentions and will massacre a large number of tribesmen in order to refine some powerful magic weapons.
If Che Laoyao wants to solve this problem, he can only find the top leaders of both the human and demon races.
He has no connection with the human race, and as for the demon race, although he is a cultivator who has reached the stage of transformation, it is still wishful thinking for him to have any connection with the high-level demons.
So, out of desperation, Che Laoyao started to think about Bing Feng.
He knew what the Ice Phoenix meant to the Black Phoenix Clan , so when he saw the Ice Phoenix appear in Tianyuan City, he immediately passed the news of the Ice Phoenix to the Black Phoenix Clan in order to please the Black Phoenix Clan.
At the beginning, the young master of the Black Phoenix clan did promise Che Laoyao that if Bingfeng married him , he would help Che Laoyao solve the problem of resentment.
However, Bing Feng rejected the proposal of the young master of the Black Phoenix clan, so the promise that Che Lao Yao had received naturally fell through.
Just when he was in despair, the young man from the Black Phoenix clan who was killed by Ye Changsheng came to him.
This person also had his eyes on Bing Feng, but because he had no power or base in Tianyuan City, he was unable to grasp Bing Feng's whereabouts in detail.
So, he wanted Che Laoyao to help him.
This person promised that if Che Laoyao assisted him in capturing the Ice Phoenix, he would be willing to help Che Laoyao solve the problem.
Desperate and desperate, Che Laoyao agreed to the man's proposal without hesitation. For him, betraying Bingfeng was no psychological burden at all.
However, after interacting with this Void-Refining cultivator from the Black Phoenix Clan for a while, Old Demon Che suddenly discovered something was wrong.
He originally thought that this Black Phoenix cultivator had the same idea as his brother and wanted to marry Ice Phoenix, but he just wanted to force her.
It was later discovered that this person did not want to become a Taoist partner with Bingfeng at all, and what he wanted from the beginning to the end was to seize Bingfeng's bloodline.
After learning about this, Che Laoyao felt very disappointed.
This kind of thing is more or less taboo among the demon race.
Just like the human race's true spirit families, who agreed with each other not to secretly seize each other's bloodlines, the demon race also has similar taboos.
Moreover, among the demon race, some people highly value the Ice Phoenix bloodline, and believe that she will grow into a strong one in the future.
In this situation, if this Lianxu from the Black Phoenix clan did such a thing, and it got out, it would cause considerable damage to the reputation of the entire Black Phoenix clan.
When Che Laoyao learned all this, he immediately became restless.
Judging from the ruthlessness of this young man from the Black Phoenix Clan, the other party might even kill him after he succeeds in the future.
So he came up with other ideas.
Just at this time, the wolf tribe learned of his affairs and sent people to ask him about Princess Linglong's situation in the human world.
After a brief consideration, Che Laoyao immediately told the people of the wolf tribe about Ye Changsheng and Linglong.
Of course he knew that by doing so, he would also face the risk of the Wolf King simply silencing him in order to protect his own reputation.
But on the one hand, he didn't dare to lie to a combined demon king, and on the other hand, he also planned to fight to the death.
He secretly revealed his relationship with the Black Phoenix Clan to the Wolf Clan, and then let the people of the Black Phoenix Clan know that he was connected with the Wolf Clan.
If they collude with the two major demon king clans at the same time, both sides will become wary of each other.
