At the same time that the blood was stabbed and howled violently, the tide of time and space surged, and everything in front of Gou Zhu was like a huge round droplet inside and outside, and at the moment of contact, the two suddenly merged into one.

Heaven and earth changed suddenly, trembling like a transparent frozen object, and finally calmed down.

After everything returned to normal, the position of the hook changed. He and Tong Yao appeared at the door of Fengyue Tower together. Both of them returned to their original positions before they entered the Wind Moon Tower, that is, before the area shrouded in immortal breath. It's just that the fairy breath has disappeared without a trace.

Fengyue Mansion was full of guests, and it was very lively, as if the life-and-death struggle they had experienced all night had never happened at all.

Gou Zhu estimated the current hour by taking advantage of the position of the moon in the sky. He probably entered at the end of the day, and was now nearly halfway there. He ate, drank, talked and laughed during the banquet, and the time for the later fights was roughly more than an hour.

This shows that when he was besieged by this strange aura, the passage of time inside and outside was normal.

Fengyue Tower has been open until the early hours of the morning. The first half of the night was deserted because the city lord Kapok personally chartered the venue. After Kapok left, there were more guests in the second half of the night.

If they had found out that a maid and a servant had died, they should have emptied all the customers and called the monks of the city defense department to investigate. But at this time, there was no change in the entire Kapok City.

Could it be that everything that just happened in this strange aura was actually out of this world, so it didn't actually happen?

Gou Zhu was extremely puzzled by this. Obviously, Kapok, Tongfeng and others have been reduced to puppets just now. I wonder if these people know it, and will they be able to recover after this spell is over?

No matter how you explain it, it's a very strange thing. Mu Chengji should have controlled Kapok and Tongfeng and the others, but this move should not be able to hurt them. Otherwise, Mu Chengji didn't need to manipulate these people to hunt him down, just use this spell to kill him.

"Don't go back to the walls, I've already sent a message to the wood for them to come. Let's go to a secret stronghold. ”

The more peaceful the place seemed now, the more eerie it felt. He wouldn't be in such an unsafe place for long.

Gou Zhu and Tong Yao quickly disappeared into the bustling streets. Moments later, they were found in an alley connected by a number of detached houses. Gou Zhu walked into a courtyard, closed the door and lit the oil lamp in the room.

This place is one of the secret strongholds they rented in advance, with one hall, one hall and one bedroom, as well as two wings. Although it is simple, it is enough to accommodate him, Mu Tou, Mu Fei and Tong Yao.

Paying off a year's rent at a time is only a mere one, two, or three blood spirit stones. This is still in the demon world, and the folk blood spirit stone is relatively cheap. If it were in the mortal world of the human world, such a house would be enough to rent a penny of blood spirit stones for a year.

As soon as Gou Zhu arrived in Kapok City, he rented several residences as secret strongholds. Every time he goes out, he changes the breath of the crowd.

He just planned that if he got into any trouble, everyone just had to hide in a secret residence and not go out and show their heads. No one else could trace their breath, and they could not be found at all unless they were searched house by house.

As long as Lian Ling comes to Kapok City, the spirit between him and Lian Ling will be sensitive, and there is no need to worry about not being able to get together.

Tong Yao's face turned a little pale. She forcibly forced the Yuan Shen out of her body in that strange aura, causing the Yuan Shen to be damaged. Although her damage can be repaired quickly, there is no chance of running all the way. It was easy to get here, and she went into the bedroom on her own to meditate and calm her nerves.

Both Wood and Wood Fei are already on their way, but they haven't arrived yet. Gou Zhu sat alone in the room. He finally had a chance to reflect on what he had been through that night.

He thought about the dangers in advance. But he didn't expect that the person behind the scenes who controlled this trap would actually be the fake prince Mu Chenghe. This person was not on the list of invitations to Kapok's banquet at all. The more than 300,000 taels of blood spirit stones harvested by the beast tide have nothing to do with this person at all.

If there is any grudge between him and Mu Chenghe, the only release worth mentioning is that Mu Chengji and Mu Tou are both "candidates" for the son of the Tree Emperor. Could it be that Mu Chengji dealt with him in order to deal with Mu and eliminate the competitors vying for the position of the Demon Emperor in advance?

Gou Xuan shook his head secretly, and quickly dismissed the idea. Mu Chenghe's self-proclaimed son of the Demon Emperor is already known to everyone, but very few people know that Mu is the real son of the Tree Emperor.

Wood has an innate tree body, and there are only a very few people in the Jade Palace, such as Lian Ling and Lian Ping, not to mention linking him with the prince.

In the demon world, this matter should be even more rarely known, otherwise I don't know how many passers-by will kill them, either chasing and killing or holding hostage this potential young man who has the hope of sitting in the position of the demon emperor.

Although the Tree Clan elder who had contacted Lian Ling knew about this, he had never seen the appearance of the wood, let alone what identity they came here. It shouldn't be that you think of the existence of the prince from a small array master in the Sky Piercing Tower.

If it wasn't to deal with wood, then the trap laid by Mu Chengsi was to deal with Ji Yan, Lei Yan and the three of them. It's just that Ji Yan and Lei Yan have been bought in some way, but the other party has not negotiated any conditions with him, and directly intends to kill him.

What are the plans to deal with the three of them? Is it to break the Thorn Tower? The three of them are not there at the same time and cannot return, although the Thorn Tower still has inherent defenses, it is only a dead tower, and with a little thought, it is easy to break.

This is easy to verify. If the Sky Piercing Tower is breached, news will definitely come in after dawn. And if Ji Yan had betrayed the guard, he would not have appeared again.

What's the use of breaking through a Sky Piercing Tower? Gou Zhu's heart suddenly felt a chill. Could it be that the real purpose of Mu Chengji and the others was to let the beast tide destroy Kapok City?

Kapok City's defense against the beast tide is very strong, but the most important defense is still on the three defense towers in three directions. One of these towers was breached, and the other two lost their relevance at the same time.

Behind the fake prince is the ghost owl. Since the resurrection of the Night King, the Ghost Owl clan has had a lot of ambitions.

This ancient demon king obviously wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the Tree Clan to add another handful of firewood, so he sent Mu Chenghei to Kapok City. They also want to take this opportunity to destroy the defense of Kapok City from the inside, so that the beast tide can capture Kapok City?

Once the city of Kapok fell, hundreds of thousands of mortals and monks would have to be reduced to the blood of wild beasts. Without this fortress, the Mountain of Sleep would be directly exposed to the foreign troops. Moreover, the beast tide that had recovered its vitality with enough blood food would also greatly damage the defenses of the Sleeping Mountain.

If this was the Night King's plan, it would make sense. The ghost owl is likely planning again. It's just that last time it was Bone Eagle Peak, but this time the target is the Sleeping Mountain of the Tree Clan.

The army of ghost owls may have already been secretly mobilized, waiting for Kapok City to be swallowed by the beast tide, and then after the beast tide attacked the Sleeping Evil Mountain, they took the opportunity to capture the Sleeping Evil Mountain and put the Night King on the throne of the Demon Emperor!

So it was a cover to call himself the prince Mu Chenghei from the beginning. The Night King didn't plan to really help this fake prince to take the throne at all, but just let him infiltrate Kapok City and destroy the defenses of Kapok City from within.

Gou Zhu fought the Night King in the Devil's Howl Palace. He swallowed the Night King's Nine Turns Divine Pill, and gave the Night King a large string of Dark Fire Orbs.

It's hard to imagine how the Elder God-King would feel when he saw him again. If he didn't have to wait for Lian Ling here, his first thought was to run as far as he could.

He's certainly not a villain, but he's not a righteous man either. The lives of hundreds of thousands of mortals in the demon realm really couldn't take his turn to come forward. Anonymously reporting the matter to the City Defense Department was the only thing he could do.

But the Night King's big plan will also affect Lian Ling's plans. Lian Ling plans to support wood to ascend to the throne of the Demon Emperor. If the TreantClan's lair was killed by the Ghost Owl, her plan would naturally be aborted.

He had to inform Lian Ling as soon as possible so that she could deal with it in time. But now he and Lian Ling don't know how many thousands of miles apart, and there is no way to get in touch. The only way to do this is to wait where you are.

It's a distance that can't be crossed. Even if the soul is connected, it will be cut off by this long distance.

But the cause and effect of life and death between them are still implicated. If Lian Ling dies, he will also die. So he is alive and well now, and the only consolation is that Lian Ling must not be dead.

Gou Zhu pushed open the window, climbed up, sat on the empty roof, looked south, and could only see a dark night as deep as ink. It is said that there is a sea of fire in the extreme south, called the Southern Underworld. Lian Ling said that the place was too dangerous and he would not be allowed to go.

On a whim, he agreed to split up with her. But I haven't seen him for half a year, and the worries in my heart are better than one day. Will she come back safe and sound? Will they ever see each other again?

If you knew this, you would not have separated. Even if it's death, isn't it better to die together than to see each other?" he thought regretfully.
