Star Trace Gate

Chapter 736: Looking for the head, stealing people, and the red tide reappears

Lao Liu is dead?!

No... No way, this must be an illusion. There must be miasma in the emperor's tomb that can confuse people's minds.

Ren Ye's mind was in a mess, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't accept what he saw at all, but it was happening right before his eyes.

His body was covered in blood, and he was wearing a gorgeous suit that was very familiar to everyone, but... his head was gone, as if his neck had been chopped off by someone, and his body was stiffly facing everyone, as if he was saying his final farewell to his brothers.

No, this is impossible!

Old Liu was obviously a person with great fortune. In the Star Gate of Giant City, he relied on his tenacity, blood, and wisdom to finally obtain the Giant inheritance and became a very rare light-type magical power user. And before entering Chaolong City, he had just returned from a very distant daytime star secret realm.

After months of interstellar travel, he walked alone in the vast daytime star, with no friends, only endless ruins and the scorching sun. Such an extremely dangerous place didn't take his life, but in this hellhole, he died just by going to the toilet? !

No, that's absolutely not the case!

He recalled everything he had experienced with Lao Liu, and his heart broke down, with an indescribable numbness on his face.

His best friend had his head cut off. He was completely dazed and his mind was in a mess...

"Don't...don't panic yet."

Yin Hu came back to his senses and immediately spoke to comfort him: "Even if a third-grade supernatural power master suffers a fatal injury to his body, he will not necessarily die. Don't worry...!"

"Yep."

The beloved concubine also came back to her senses, took the initiative to reach out her jade hand to grab Ren Ye's wrist, and kept comforting him: "He is right. Old Liu has the Stone of Life to protect his body. Even if his body is rotten like mud, as long as his three souls and seven spirits and his divine consciousness are not destroyed, he can still be resurrected."

Ren Ye listened to her words and just stared blankly ahead, with fragments of memories surging in his mind.

The fight for the inheritance of the Human Emperor in Qingliang Prefecture and the bloody battle on Canyon Road; the twin stars shining in Giant City; the Qijia Town in the migration area; the border turmoil in Bulao Mountain and the heroic feat of counterattacking the nine lands of Shangyu in Daqian...all these events flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

"Don't worry, let me take a look."

Master Chu recovered from his extreme shock. He raised his hands and chanted a spell: "Open my Tianzun Bajing Palace - the pillars connect the nine heavens and thirteen palaces!"

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a horrifying aura surged out from between Master Chu Dao's brows. At this moment, he used his unique forbidden technique. He raised his hand and called out the snow-white jade stick. He stood on the edge of the sea of ​​flowers, and when the stick was spread out, it pierced through the sky and the earth, like a piece of red light.

The white jade stick stretched from the flat and wide space straight to the red sea of ​​flowers. When the stick extended like a fairy object, it actually triggered the vision of a majestic fairy palace.

"brush!"

The crimson color exuded an endless sense of oppression, which instantly enveloped the white jade stick. In just a moment, this divine object of unknown origin began to shake violently, and its breath continued to weaken.

"open!"

Master Chu Dao's eyes were bloodshot. He controlled the white jade stick with the Yaoyao jade pendant with both hands and pointed at the headless corpse from a distance.

The aura of the stick surged, and Lao Liu's divine sense used it as a medium to briefly glimpse Lao Liu's aura, and then receded like the tide.

"brush!"

He swayed his body slightly and suddenly retracted the white jade stick. It took him less than two breaths in total, but he was already bleeding from his mouth and nose and was in a state of mental depression.

The concubine understood his intention and immediately asked, "Master Dao, Brother Liu's...?!"

Master Chu lowered his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said solemnly: "He...!"

"What's the matter? Tell me now." Xu Bangzi urged urgently.

"I didn't sense his divine thoughts or his ghostly aura." Master Chu Dao replied with an extremely dim gaze, "And, he had a strange power... that was enough to annihilate me in an instant. However, that power didn't seem to have any interest in me, just like ignoring an ant, so... that's why I was spared from the disaster just now."

"A strange power that can annihilate you in an instant?! What is that?" Xu Bangzi was puzzled: "At least a sixth-grade magical power?"

Master Chu Dao shook his head slightly: "No. I guess it is... a trace of Dao rhyme that the Great Emperor has not extinguished for thousands of years, or even longer. That trace of Dao rhyme is in Old Liu."

"So, he got the chance?" Yin Hu said in surprise, "He actually has the Dao rhyme of the Great Emperor?!"

"Are you fucking crazy?! You've lost your head, and you're telling me this is an opportunity?" Xu Bangzi collapsed and yelled in desperation, "Master Chu didn't sense his ghost or divine thoughts! Don't you understand this?"

Yin Hu understood everything instantly, and stammered, "Old Liu entered this place by mistake, and was robbed of his life by the Dao rhyme of the Great Emperor, and was beheaded and died... This... How come this is like being refined by the Dao rhyme of the Great Emperor...!"

"Corpse...corpse puppet?!" Xu Qingzhao replied with a trembling voice.

"Old Liu possesses the Stone of Life. Although his physical body is not top-notch, his blood and energy are extremely vigorous. He also possesses the appearance of a giant and has unlimited potential." Master Chu Dao paused: "He entered this place by mistake, and the emperor punished him, so he was... chosen by Dao Yun to be a corpse puppet. This...!" Master Chu Dao was knowledgeable and only said half a sentence with a helpless and somewhat sad expression.

The second half of his sentence meant that, given the inheritance status that Lao Liu had obtained, it was very likely that he would be chosen by the Great Emperor Daoyun as the guardian of the corpse puppet tomb. However, the group of people in front of him had a very close relationship with Lao Liu, so he couldn't make his words too clear...

There are countless magical powers in this world, and they are as dazzling as the stars. There are countless branches of inheritance, countless ancient sects, and they all have special classics and secret methods passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, for many magical powers, even if the physical body is destroyed and turned into blood rain, as long as the mind and the three souls and seven spirits are not destroyed, they can still repair the physical body, lead the soul back to its place, and thus revive.

But...but Master Chu said that he did not feel Lao Liu's ghost or consciousness, which means that there is a high possibility that both his spirit and body have dispersed.

When both the soul and the body are dispersed, it means complete destruction.

The reputation of the demon monk Mumu resounded throughout the migration area, and his magical powers could scare countless ancient sects. His evil reputation alone was enough to suppress the righteous path. But such an extremely amazing existence spent his entire life working to revive his wife and children who died in the Maple Forest Ancient Temple. This shows that... after the three souls and seven spirits are destroyed, a person dies, and perhaps he is really dead.

"no no!"

Just when everyone was silent, Ren Ye, who had been in a daze, slowly came back to his senses: "My two masters have seen Lao Liu. They both said... Lao Liu's fate has changed since he got the giant's inheritance. He is definitely a blessed person. I don't believe that he will die in this damn place!"

"You didn't feel his three souls and seven spirits, maybe it's because... that trace of the Great Emperor's Dao Yun you mentioned is causing trouble."

"Senior White Stripe Chicken may have a solution. No, I must rescue him!"

"...!"

Ren Ye stared at Lao Liu with a firm expression: "He... even if he is really gone, I can't let him stay here as a corpse puppet or a gravekeeper! Even if he is an emperor, I can't let him. He is my brother and he must go home!"

King Huai was such a complicated person. Sometimes, for a little profit, he would even lose face and cheat the people around him. But sometimes, even if a thing was already a foregone conclusion and he couldn't change anything no matter how hard he tried, he was willing to fight for his best friend and fight for that very small probability.

This may be the reason why, although everyone is losing money, being deceived and being shortchanged, they are always willing to join him in making trouble.

When Master Chu heard Ren Ye's words, he immediately adjusted his idea of ​​not suggesting forcing his way into the sea of ​​flowers, and just added in the direction he was pointing: "If my guess is true, he has a faint aura of the Great Emperor, then... then if you rush in rashly, you will probably die."

“Don’t think that the trump cards in your hand can fight against the Dao rhyme of the Jiuli Emperor. That… that is the existence of the Supreme God. Even after countless years, we cannot fight against him.”

"So, we have to think of a way to outsmart them. Unfortunately, this place is too strange. Our star power is being devoured, and we don't have much time to think."

"...!"

He looked like he was thinking seriously: "How about I retreat first and then find a way to get in?"

"No, if we delay, something bad will happen. We need to rescue them now." Ren also shook his head.

"Do you have any ideas?" Master Chu asked, following his train of thought.

At this moment, Ren Ye's face was no longer sad, but was filled with an extremely focused and stubborn expression. He had no time to be sad anymore, and now he had to find a way to save Lao Liu's body and ensure that everyone was safe.

Ren Ye's eyes scanned the scenery in the sea of ​​flowers, and he said in a deep voice: "Earlier, I took half a step towards the sea of ​​flowers at the fork in the road. As my blood was boiling, it was the Human Emperor Seal that saved me... So, I was thinking... If I use the purple luck to cover myself, can I sneak in?"

"Countless books have recorded that only destiny can fight against the way of heaven. The Dao rhyme of the Great Emperor is also the Dao... Then can destiny hide me?"

After a brief pause, Ren Ye looked at everyone and said, "I want to try it."

When Master Chu heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Good idea. If the luck can cover up the Dao rhyme of the Great Emperor, then you can wrap up Old Liu with the power of the purple cloud. Even if he becomes a corpse puppet, he may not attack you. After all... the purple luck covers up the secrets of heaven, and it may not be able to see you..."

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, Yinhu, who had been observing the sea of ​​flowers, suddenly waved his hand and said, "Look over there, in the southeast direction, the path next to the flowers is stained with blood and winds its way to the inside. However, it is blocked by the flowers and we cannot see the end of the blood."

Xu Bangzi listened to his words and looked over there. After seeing the bloodstains, he frowned and guessed, "The bloodstains came from over there, so... could Old Liu's head be behind the flowers?"

"It's possible." Master Chu nodded and said, "No one has been here for a long time, and there are no living creatures nearby. If we follow the blood trail, we will definitely find Lao Liu's head."

He turned his head and looked at Ren Ye: "If according to your guess, Lao Liu's three souls and seven spirits have not completely dissipated. Then you must also bring out his head, otherwise... otherwise the ghost will not be able to survive in the world without a body. Except for those who cultivate the soul..."

"Ah."

Ren also nodded heavily: "There is no time to lose, I will go now!"

"Be careful." Xu Bangzi warned.

After he finished speaking, Ren held his breath and stared at the headless corpse that was getting closer and closer. He just raised his hand slightly and called out the Human Emperor Seal.

The Human Emperor Seal flew out from between his eyebrows, with scenes of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers flowing on its surface. In an instant, it was above Ren Ye's head, casting down thousands of rays of light.

"brush!"

Ren also used his mind to communicate with the seal, causing endless dense purple air to fall on his head, like a layer of fog, protecting his body and mind.

Xing Wu stared blankly at Ren Ye who was enveloped in purple luck and rosy glow. A look of astonishment inadvertently flashed in his simple eyes.

Mingquan would not tell a child about Ren Ye's origins, but the young boy Xing Wu seemed to have understood something at this moment.

It turned out that the young uncle in front of him was more important than he thought.
