Chapter 177: The Mad Emperor
Emperor Ci's hair turned gray, his face was full of mockery and indifference, and his stomach was full of cynical words, which were more devastating than the winds of winter, and the listeners were all disheartened and trembling, but no soldiers fled, not only because he was the emperor of mankind, but also because he had an unshakable strong will, and it was by this will that the last army of the Holy Fu Dynasty was preserved, and nearly 100,000 people could survive in the troubled times.
He led more than thirty of his retinue, the leanest of the packies, whose flags could prove the identity of Emperor Ci, to General Mu, who did not agree to this arrangement, but reluctantly agreed when he heard that the Pagoda was outside the city.
When he could clearly see the Patriarch Tower ten miles away, Emperor Ci stopped for the first time and sneered, "Desperate to abandon desire, Taoist priests are really desperate to abandon desire, even if they kill hundreds of millions of living beings, they can be indifferent, but they can't get rid of one emotion, that is, to show off, look at their tower, it is higher than the city of the Holy Fu Dynasty." They pretend not to care about anything, and then wait for mortals to envy them and revere them. β
Including King Huaibi, the entourage did not say a word, and everyone knew that it was impossible to communicate with Emperor Ci, and there would even be danger.
Emperor Ci urged the unicorn to move on, it was a scarred unicorn, one horn was broken, the scales on the body were not complete, but the limbs were still strong, and there were still more than a dozen steps away from the jump, and the speed had to be controlled so that the horse would not fall too far.
When they were about three miles away, Emperor Ci stopped again, this time he looked at the Broken Flow City, "The towns of the Holy Fu Dynasty have been destroyed, but it remains as it is, and it is still wearing an ice armor, what does it mean? Who is the king of Xijie, and who is the emperor? All it knows is that there is a princess, there is a general. Hey, in the end it betrayed even its own inhabitants. β
Emperor Ci turned to King Huaibi and said, "We will reconquer this city and destroy it, it is not qualified to stand alone in this world. β
"Yes. King Huaibi replied, even if Emperor Ci asked him to rush into the sea of fire single-handedly, he would agree to come down, the country of Talang was dead, and he, the prince king, was no higher than the status of ordinary retinues.
Galloping close to the Patriarch Tower, Emperor Ci stopped for the third time. This time he didn't say anything, just raised his hand to signal his entourage to stay where he was, and then he rode the unicorn to the bottom of the tower alone.
Emperor Ci looked carefully, and after a while, Mu Xingqiu walked around from behind the tower, pressed one hand on the tower, and said, "King Huaibi made it clear to you, right?"
"Well, he said you had amnesia and forgot most of the past before the Tribulation of the Five Elements. "Emperor Ci is not wearing a helmet. This is also the obvious difference between him and the officers and soldiers in the army, "This is a good excuse not to abide by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister." β
Mu Xingqiu smiled, he had heard Yin Bushen talk about many things, and believed that he had not lost his memory. There was no courtesy between him and the emperor, and he pressed the tower with his right hand and continued to circle around.
This is a new way to write characters, and it's a bit faster.
Emperor Ci regarded this behavior as contempt. But he hid his anger in his heart, "The famous Ancestor Tower, the powerful Dao Sect Treasure. It's like this. β
Although the Patriarch Pagoda is taller than the city wall, its appearance is mottled and ancient, as if it has stood outside the city for thousands of years.
"The Patriarch Pagoda is also a hypocritical pagoda like a Taoist priest!" said Emperor Ci loudly, as if the pagoda could understand his own words, "Since it is powerful, why not reveal it?
Mu Xingqiu walked around again, "Spell restraint means control, control means another power, the Ancestor Tower must manage its own spells, and can't let them leak at will." β
"Well, that's right, you have to control it in normal times, you can't leak your power, and if you leak it, it's thousands of miles, killing and injuring countless people. Emperor Ci jumped down from the unicorn's back, strode in front of Mu Xingqiu, and stared into his eyes for a while, "Do you remember Empress Xun?"
"Princess Saikatsu, I say I should know her. Mu Xingqiu heard a lot of past events from Yin Bushen, but he didn't have an impression in his mind.
"She's my queen, but the person she likes is you. Emperor Ci's eyes were cold, and a few strands of iron-gray hair were stirred by the cold wind, like the last flag.
Mu Xingqiu continued to circle in a circle, and Emperor Ci stepped out of the way and walked side by side with him, "She is dead, and everything is gone." β
Mu Xingqiu didn't squeak, in his memory, he had never felt such a strong emotion in a person, Emperor Ci was like a crazy horse, he didn't stop running without being spurred.
"Are you going to challenge Kun Chao?"
"I'm challenged. "Mu Xingqiu has already found out the Kun Chao spell in the Patriarch Tower, and the writing talisman is to arrange the troops, and when the time comes, he will launch a decisive battle.
"Kun Chao is the root of all evil, he has deceived everyone, and he will destroy the whole world. Daotong is responsible for this, at least for negligence, but Daotong is also a victim, so it can be forgiven. β
"As far as I know, I've long since quit the Dao system. β
"I know, this was many years ago, but no one can really quit the Taoist system, as long as you practice according to the way of the Taoist system and gain the power of a Taoist priest, you will always be a Taoist priest. 'The fire of the Tao is not extinguished', this is what the Taoist priests say, and this is what they demand. So you are still a member of the Dao system, and the Patriarch Pagoda is proof of this. β
"Okay. Mu Xingqiu didn't want to argue, Emperor Ci's mood had risen to an alarming level, and he didn't need to add fuel to the fire.
"Dao Tong must correct his mistakes and take up his responsibilities, you said that you also want to challenge Kun Zhuan, this is a good start, but it is not enough, can you still find other Taoist priests?"
"There is another person in the west of the city who is a Taoist priest, and there is a demon and a swordsman who can't spell in the city, so let's be a group. β
Emperor Ci sneered, "With this little strength, you want to challenge Kun Zhuan?" I have to remind you, two or three years ago, you have already challenged Kun Zhen once in the imperial capital, I remember clearly, you flew from outside the city, all the way like a bamboo, it seems that you have a good chance of winning, you even rushed to Kun Zhen's side. But what is the final outcome? Kun Chao only made one move, one spell, and then he took you into the Demon Pulling Hole, and you were completely defeated. β
"I'm out. β
"The cost is to lose your memory and then to make the same mistake again. β
Mu Xingqiu stopped and sighed softly, "Listen, I'm not arrogant enough to challenge Kun Chao alone, I believe that more people will join in the future, you want to join forces, I agree, but I don't think I have any responsibilities for the Dao system." β
Emperor Ci showed a mocking smile, "Only a Taoist priest can get rid of the shackles on his body so easily, mortals can't, I can't, I am the emperor of the human race, the commander of the last army, even if I am overwhelmed by the duties on my body, I can't let go." Fighting, you have to fight non-stop, do you know how many battles we've fought in the Land of the Demons? once every ten days on average. Do you think the Five Elements Tribulation has cleaned up the world? No, Kun Chao is the most evil person in the world, he uses spells to kill people who may be against him, leaving behind all the same evildoers as him. Humans have fallen, standing in front of the royal banner without kneeling, and even taking advantage of the fire to rob, the demon clan is even more shameless, they cheer for destruction, salute Kun Zhuan, and rush to bow to him. All the burdens are on me, and this army is the only clean force in the world. β
Mu Xingqiu understood where King Huaibi's fear came from, Emperor Ci was close to madness, and was unswervingly rushing towards the precipice, he was not the only one who did this, but he was followed by an army of nearly 100,000 people.
The Holy Rune Dynasty concentrated the power of all the human beings in the world and created a huge army of millions of people, and now only these people remain.
"Humans are degenerate, and the demon clan is shamelessβwho are you fighting for?" asked Mu Xingqiu.
"For the world!" Emperor Ci slapped his palm on the tower, angry, "The world of mankind, the world of the Fu family, and my world, no one can take it away from me, neither can the Dao system, nor can Kun Chao!"
Emperor Ci was so angry that he ignored the pain in his hand, and after a while, he found that the bland Patriarch Ta was even hotter than the burning fire, and he was about to scorch his hand, so he hurriedly withdrew his arm and looked at Mu Xingqiu's right hand that had been pressing on the tower, "This is the strength I need." β
"I'm sorry, but I can't transfer the power to you. Mu Xingqiu gently pushed Emperor Ci away and continued to write talismans in circles.
Emperor Ci stood in place, and when Mu Xingqiu walked around to the other side, he said loudly: "You think I am stupid, I am not sure at all, so I dare to come and challenge Kun Zhuan, right? You are wrong, I am prepared, but I need your help, one little is enough." β
Mu Xingqiu walked around, "How can I help?"
"Lend me the Patriarch Tower. β
Mu Xingqiu shook his head.
"I'm not going to take it away, right here, I'm going to line up a magic circle, the magic circle is very powerful, if I can get the help of the Dao Treasure of the Dao System, it will be even stronger, and it will be easy to defeat Kun Chao. β
Emperor Ci's eyes flashed with crazy enthusiasm and confidence, "You said you were willing to join forces, then make a sign of joining forces." You have failed, and the Dao system has failed, it is time for you to believe in mortals, especially me, no one cares more about this world and hates Kun Chao more than me. β
Mu Xingqiu reluctantly nodded.
Emperor Ci showed an approving smile, even in such a smile, there was a hint of mockery and madness, "It will take a little time to set up the formation, and after seven to ten days, I will use the Ancestor Tower." I will not lose my memory, I will remember your help, and the children and grandchildren of the Fu family will remember it. β
Emperor Ci turned around to leave, but Mu Xingqiu stopped him, "Wait." β
Emperor Ci's face immediately became gloomy, he knew that no one could be trusted, and the promises he made would be forgotten in a blink of an eye, which was exactly the act he hated the most, "You have already agreed." β
"Don't worry, I won't regret it, I just want to give you a little more help. β
"What?" said Emperor Ci frowned.
Mu Xingqiu raised his left arm, and his five fingers quickly pressed on Emperor Ci's forehead, "The help you need the most." β
