The fairy father

There really is nothing wrong with this secret place.

After careful inspection, Li Ping'an, Hou Tu, and Yaochi came to the same conclusion.

According to the Faceless Man of Tiandao, Tiandao has been protecting this place, and no new spiritual power has appeared in the sea of ​​blood.

The matter of the demon baby may really have nothing to do with the sea of ​​blood.

Li Dazhi also checked around properly. He wrapped the sleeping baby girl with his magic power, but the latter did not respond at all. There was even a slight cry from the tip of his nose...

Yaochi said softly: "Excluding this place, the source of the problem should be in Nanzhou."

"With Uncle Zhao leading the team, there shouldn't be any trouble."

Li Ping'an lowered his head and thought, and some inspiration quickly flashed through his heart.

Is it possible that the demon baby comes from the 'gene mutation' of the human race itself?

Or maybe there were too many human sacrifices over there in Nanzhou, causing trouble?

On the side, Huangdi Xuanyuan gently stroked Yuan Tujian and said slowly: "Since we have come to the Blood Sea, it would be a bit dissatisfying not to say hello to Ancestor Styx. Please wait for me for a moment."

After saying this, Huangdi Xuanyuan pointed his left hand forward, and the Xuanyuan sword came out of its scabbard and brought out the rays of light to cut through the sea of ​​blood.

His Majesty the Human Emperor's eyes were filled with flames. He held the Xuanyuan Sword in his left hand and the Yuantu Sword in his right hand. He looked like a comet crossing the blood sea and headed straight for the Shura tribe's largest undersea cave in the north of the blood sea.

"Brother, be careful!"

Li Ping'an greeted: "Dapeng goes to protect the Human Emperor. If we lose, we will retreat!"

"yes!"

The Dapeng bird accepted the order with its hands raised, then transformed into its true form, flashed to Xuanyuan Huangdi's head and kept circling.

Li Dazhi smiled and said: "It's rare that our Emperor, the Emperor, still maintains such strong fighting power despite his age...Ping'an, you can learn from others. This is the confidence of the three thousand in the harem!"

Li Pingan put on a perfunctory smile, looked at the direction Xuanyuan Huangdi left, and murmured:

"I don't know when I will be as strong as my senior brother."

Yaochi said softly: "Your Majesty's strength has improved too quickly. If I go to listen to the Transcendent One a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be your Majesty's opponent."

Li Ping'an suddenly held his head high and his whole body began to exude a little aura of the Emperor of Heaven.

Li Dazhi looked at the baby girl wrapped in Xianli and sighed: "These babies are quite pitiful. What did they do? They were tricked into being like this."

Houtu sighed quietly, took the initiative to hug the baby girl, and said softly: "Your Majesty, can you please promise me one thing?"

"Is it about the disposal of these demon babies?"

Li Pingan said slowly:

"This matter is left to Taoist friends and father to handle together.

"The most important thing now is to prevent more demon babies from being born. The number of existing demon babies is not too many. The world is huge and can give them a space to grow and a chance to heal."

Hou Tu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Fellow Daoist," Li Ping'an cupped his hands and didn't say anything more.

The great witch Jiang Da put his hands in his sleeves and said in confusion: "I have never heard of such a thing since ancient times."

The other three great witches also spoke one after another:

"Someone must be up to something!"

"Didn't that Venerable Misfortune escape to the Sea of ​​Chaos? Could it be that he secretly poisoned me?"

"Do you think the Xuandu Archmage who is showing you the gate to Honghuang is just a decoration? How could the Xuandu Archmage let Lord Anan come back again? This thing actually encourages the innate gods and demons to attack us."

"If you want to enter our ancient wilderness, is Xuandu City the only way?"

"That's not true, the formation is there."

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Based on the current situation, there is indeed only one way to Xuandu City, otherwise the innate gods and demons would have come in to cause trouble..."

He suddenly froze for a moment, then murmured.

"road?"

Li Ping'an lowered his head and looked at the spring. Regardless of the image of the Emperor of Heaven, he squatted beside the spring and reached into it.

The avenue of all living things reacted spontaneously, and wisps of fairy light merged into the spring water, and faint bubbles emerged from it.

There is an imaginary shadow of a fetus in each bubble, and each fetus is in normal condition and has not transformed into a demon infant.

And after these springs stay here for a few times, they will disappear into the darkness.

Li Ping'an suddenly said: "Do you think there will be some passages, maybe opened by the highway, maybe formed naturally, connecting here and the surface?"

Houtu and Yaochi each looked over.

Yaochi asked: "Do you suspect there is a problem with this passage?"

"It's very simple, just rule it out."

Li Pingan said quickly:

"Judging from the number and proportion of demon infants, they are distributed discontinuously in the mortal world of the East and West continents. Moreover, when the human race is stationed with immortal soldiers patrolling everywhere, demon infants can continue to be born. This basically rules out that they are evil cultivators. Poison.

"If all the babies in a city turned into demon babies, then the first thing we would think of is that some evil cultivators must have used some secret method to attack these pregnant women in the city.

"But neither of the parents of the demon baby have any problems. The problems all arise in the baby itself.

"The fetus is still in a congenital state when it is born in the mother's womb, so there must be a problem somewhere before the fetus is born.

"The Blood Sea Secret Land is normal, but what about the path that transports the pregnant spirit away from here?"

Hou Tu said: "Compared to the babies born in the human race, the pregnant spirits produced here only account for 34%. Most of the babies are the spiritual spirits of the self produced in the mother's body."

"I know this."

Li Pingan groaned a few times:

"The innate environment that babies live in is relatively closed, and the number of these demon babies born now is not large.

"Can this path be detected using the Great Dao or magical powers?"

The immortals and witches here looked at each other in confusion.

"Let me do it."

Li Ping'an took a deep breath, sat cross-legged and meditated next to the spring, and made a joke to lighten the atmosphere:

"I used the way of heaven as a guide to see if I could find a way to transport the pregnant spirit.

"If I had done this, the merit would be mine."

Yaochi was about to respond.

Suddenly there was a roaring sound in the sky in the north, and dozens of blood-colored light pillars shot up into the sky, with nine golden dragons looming among them. The young emperor surrounded by the golden dragons moved forward in an unsatisfactory manner, stirring up the wind and clouds of the sea of ​​blood, and killing the eight-armed Shura.

Ancestor Minghe soon appeared, yelled angrily, and fought with Huangdi Xuanyuan.

The remaining accounts of the Battle of Xizhou have not yet been settled, but unfortunately Styx has the magical power of "the sea of ​​blood never dries up, and the Styx never dies".

Huangdi Xuanyuan was just taking revenge today, holding the Yuan Tu Sword to disgust Ancestor Styx.

Beside the secret spring, before Li Ping'an entered meditation, he did not forget to say:

"Everyone, please observe carefully, don't let Senior Brother Xuanyuan suffer, and take a look to see if any remaining Inner Heaven Dao gods show up."

Yaochi immediately cheered up after hearing this.

Several veterans who followed Huangdi Xuanyuan looked at him from a distance and were ready to respond. They must have received Huangdi Xuanyuan's order and did not go forward to join the battle.

Li Ping'an didn't do what he thought, his mind returned to Yuan Shen, and Yuan Shen escaped into Lingxiao Palace.

Only the last big sesame-shaped piece of the Heavenly Emperor's Seal was missing, glowing with colorful rays of light. The faceless man of Heavenly Dao in gray robes stood aside.

Li Ping'an's Yuanshen passed by with his left hand, and all the spiritual treasures were suspended around him, protected by the power of heaven.

"Spend some merit and reveal the principles of this place."

The faceless man tapped forward slightly, and the spring was projected in front of Li Pingan, and then the shadow of the spring collapsed, revealing a colorful space.

The sea of ​​principles.

The so-called Sea of ​​Dao Principles is the bottom layer of the ancient world, the place where three thousand great tools are represented, and it is also the secret realm where masters of Taiyi Realm and Daluo Realm can understand the Dao.

Although Li Ping'an's Dao realm has not reached Taiyi, he has the Dao of Heaven 'accelerating' beside him and has merits that can be continuously consumed. He can read the sea of ​​Dao principles more easily than ordinary Daluo Jinxian.

Li Ping'an's immortal knowledge penetrated into it, and he seemed to be in a strange and bizarre world.

He understood and immersed himself in it piece by piece.

After a while, Li Ping'an used the Xuantian Tower. The Xuantian Tower consumed the power of merit and began to slow down the flow of time for his soul.

He felt that after an hour, the years outside only flowed by for a few breaths.

Li Dazhi looked at Li Ping'an, who was wrapped in the obscure Taoist rhyme, with emotion in his eyes.

‘Ping An is becoming more and more capable. ’

'Fortunately, he is weak in making money, so the Immortal Chief of the Ministry of Finance can continue to live in heaven. ’

‘This demon baby looks quite cute. I don’t know who the devil planned this on a newborn child. ’

…

Within the Jue Tian Formation.

The team responsible for exploring Nanzhou has now found a large number of demon infants.

The good news is that these demon babies have been controlled by the mortals here;

The bad news is...the methods used by these mortals to control the demon infants are many times more cruel than the demon infants attacking people.

This is a huge city made of earth and stone.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of mortals living in the city. Most of the mortals wear simple clothes made of coarse linen. Wearing a pair of straw sandals is considered decent.

A small number of mortals wear armor or satin fabrics. Whenever they appear, the simply dressed mortals must bow their heads in salute.

If Li Dazhi could see this scene, he would probably sigh...

This damn thing is worse than feudal superstition.

The humanistic ecology here is still in a slave society. Most mortals are slaves, subordinate to the common people, and are responsible for engaging in various types of labor.

The common people are the nobles, and those who have surnames are derived from the blood of some ancient great figures.

Although common people and nobles have the right to kill and kill the slaves they support, it is rare for common people and nobles to kill their own slaves;

The slaves were not the worst off, at least they had enough food and clothing;

Those human sacrifices kept near the big altar in the east of the city without any clothes are the most miserable existence in this city and most of the southern continent.

The only way waiting for these human sacrifices is death.

And this kind of death is often accompanied by various tortures. Being sent to the grave and gradually suffocated to death is the most gentle way to die.

There are two kinds of slaughterhouses next to the big altar.

One kind of slaughterhouse slaughters humans and animals, and the other kind of slaughterhouse also slaughters humans and animals.

Just the method is different.

On the city wall near the high altar.

Qing Su, Zhao Gongming and other immortals who had used the blindfold method frowned at this scene.

Zhao Gongming sighed with emotion: "No wonder, the human race wants to seal this place with a great formation. Such a situation, so cruel... If we say that the human race is the protagonist of the world, it is really difficult to convince hundreds of races and spirits."

"This is just a matter of human sacrifice that has appeared in the past few thousand years."

An old woman from Notre Dame Palace sighed:

“Originally, Nanzhou was a place where all the nations were in harmony and the world was under the common master. However, things have changed since the founding of Great Xia and the conquest of 40% of Nanzhou.

"It is difficult to explain everything here in a short while. Fellow Taoists, please focus on the matter of the demon infant."

Master Taiyi raised his chin towards the altar: "There are at least thousands of these demon babies. What do they want to do? Burn them directly?"

Yuding also frowned a little when he heard this.

On the big altar, several men and women wearing strange robes and scary masks were jumping around hard.

The center of the altar was filled with demon babies.

A demon baby covered with black hair and black scales was tied up and thrown here, next to bundles of dry firewood that were being thrown over.

There were thousands of strong soldiers on the periphery wearing simple armors and holding long swords and spears, all of them filled with murderous intent.

Some generals have already lit torches.

Those demon babies also began to be poured with fire oil.

The priests of the 'Dancing God' stopped their movements, knelt on the wooden platform and began to twitch all over. They bowed their heads and knelt down, making whining sounds from their mouths.

Suddenly there is a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and then there are heavy clouds.

"What's going on?" Gui Lingling whispered, "Why do you feel like a force of heaven is coming down?"

As soon as she finished speaking, divine light suddenly burst out from the foreheads of the four priests on the altar. Four beams of light rose into the sky, and dark clouds that kept rotating appeared in the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of mortals in the city knelt down at the same time, praying to the four pillars of light.

Zhao Gongming, Qing Su and other immortals saw with their own eyes that four phantoms fell from the light pillar. They seemed to be two men and two women, wearing simple robes and long skirts, and got into the lower part to sacrifice their foreheads.

After a while, the four priests were wrapped in rich divine light and transformed into four...

gods.

A god indeed.

The two female gods have stunning looks and near-perfect figures. Their whole bodies exude a rich light, their faces are holy and their expressions are compassionate. Their long hair is twisted into a complicated sideburn, and there is a kind of secret hidden deep in their golden eyes. An indifference that is difficult to conceal.

The two male gods were dressed in battle armor, with tall bodies and majestic faces, and looked powerful without being angry.

At this moment, the female god stood in the back with a concave shape, and the male god slowly walked towards the demon infants holding a long sword and carrying a spear on his back.

The group of demon babies roared at the four gods.

The male god slowly spoke a prehistoric language with a strange tone. Such language evolved from the language of ancient humans, so it was not difficult to understand.

"Disaster has arrived."

"This is a curse on the fertile land, a punishment imposed on us by the God King."

"Subjects, you must sacrifice more human sacrifices to the God-King."

"Destroy these sons of the devil from the abyss."

The two human generals who were kneeling on one knee bowed their heads and stood up, throwing down the torches without hesitation.

The thousands of demon infants raised their heads and shouted, and the fire ignited fiercely.

When Zhao Gongming saw this, he frowned and clenched his fists, as if he was holding back from taking action.

Qingsu asked: "Is it possible to cure these demon babies?"

The immortals didn't know how to answer.

"Since you and I don't know, it is possible, even if the hope is slim," Qing Su held the ice blue sword in her palm and murmured, "If there is no way to cure them, I will kill them with my own hands and prevent them from harming others. .”

The old woman on the side said hurriedly: "We can't interfere... Nanzhou..."

Their voices grew lower and lower.

Without him, the figure of Gui Lingling appeared above the heads of the group of demon infants at some point. The big turtle shell in his hand shed a fairy light, shrouding these demon infants.

The demon babies raised their heads and roared at Turtle Lingling.

The icy blue fairy light flashed on the side, and all the demon babies were sealed into ice blocks that would not hurt their lives.

There was silence on the high altar.

Qingsu walked up to the demon babies as if no one else was around and put them into a spirit storage bracelet that could hold living things.

"Big, bold!"

A male god looked furious and slashed at Qingsu with a long sword!
