When he heard the word "one", the fear of death instantly overwhelmed his faith. He immediately knelt on the ground, threw the scabbard and blade at his waist aside, and then shouted:
"I surrender! I surrender to the Great Dark Sky!"
"That's right." Xi Heng lowered the tip of his sword slightly, and, using their religious concepts and what the people who had taken refuge with him had said, he said:
"Your doctrine also says this, right? Mortals are the descendants of the demons of the Great Dark Sky. As long as they are willing to submit to the Great Dark Sky, I will not kill them indiscriminately."
"Thank you, Master Demon!"
After surrendering, the general lost all shame and quickly complied, turning back and shouting to the soldiers he led in the rear:
"Did you hear that? We are all descendants of the Dark Sky Demons. What's wrong with surrendering to our demon ancestors? This is acknowledging our roots!"
After hearing this, most of the soldiers in the rear nodded repeatedly, knelt down and threw away their weapons, just to save their lives.
They were forced to join the Jingming Sect only because of government oppression, and all they wanted was a way to survive.
As long as there is a way to survive, it doesn't matter who you believe in.
However, there were still many fanatical believers in this Jingming Sect base. When they saw people kneeling on the ground, they could no longer hold back and scolded this group of treacherous people.
They knew very well that they would die if they faced the demons, so they dared not step forward, but they were still willing to say a few bad words.
But as soon as these words were spoken, Xi Heng's sword pointed forward.
The blood-nailed sword energy accurately hit the head of a fanatic, making a hole in his forehead like a bullet, and he fell to the ground.
The power of this attack made those who were hesitant and had not yet kneeled down immediately bend their knees and bow their heads, and it also made the fanatics finally muster up the courage to draw their swords and attack her.
In the next few minutes, Xi Heng slowly reorganized the Jingming Sect believers as if pruning branches. After killing nearly a hundred people in succession, he waited until the Jingming Sect's military was stable enough, and then asked the Dark Sky Sect believers who were staring blankly from a distance to come and spread the doctrine to this group of Jingming Sect believers.
She watched the missionary scene quietly. As for the Goddess of Red Sky who had fainted on the ground, she had been sent to a tent set up on the spot for treatment.
After half a day, the preaching outside had almost been completed, and only then did a little news come from the tent.
King Qingxi of the Great Chen Dynasty and Goddess of the Red Sky, Chen Fenghuo, finally regained some consciousness thanks to the awakening drugs prescribed by the doctor.
However, he still had a severe headache and could hardly move, let alone resist.
"Are you awake?" Xi Heng walked into the tent, sat next to the bed and said:
"Your men have all turned to the Dark Sky. Now, you are also my prisoner."
"..." Chen Fenghuo opened his mouth and a hoarse sound came out of his throat, which was not clear.
"I want to ask you something. If you can answer it well, you can still live." Xi Heng said calmly. "Where did you get this Blazing Spirit Heavenly Law, the Spirit Stone, the Flying Sword, and these talismans?"
While the other person was unconscious, she had searched his body thoroughly and found a spell book, five spirit stones and six talismans.
One of the talismans had been broken, probably because it was this thing that blocked her previous attack from the Sword of Yueyin.
In addition, this person's spirit stone is also very different from her blood spirit stone. It is not blood-colored but blue-green, with no vein-like stripes in it, and is much purer.
Xi Heng also tried to use the blue-green spirit stone to perform the Blood Sea magic, and surprisingly, it was compatible.
Moreover, the spells cast by this kind of spirit stone can be even more powerful.
The spiritual energy therein is obviously much purer than that of the Blood Sea Technique.
"..." Chen Fenghuo was silent for a long time to understand his situation. He took a deep breath and then slowly said:
"This was when I was a maid in a wealthy family. I secretly opened a granary to give relief to the poor and starving people. I was imprisoned and left to die. I found this under a stone slab in the corner of the prison when I was about to die of hunger and thirst."
"So you are a good person?"
Xi Heng had previously thought that the other party also needed to sacrifice human lives to use magic, and that he was at least a ruthless person.
"What is the difference between good and evil? In this world, rewards and punishments for good and evil, pleasures of life, wealth and beauties are all false things that can only last for a moment... Only finding the great way is the true way."
"I am now in your hands. You can kill me or keep me as you wish." She sighed:
"It's just that you seem to be seeking the great way as well. I can help you with that."
"Help me? How?" Xi Heng narrowed his eyes.
"I will do my best to find a place for you and me where we can cultivate our spirits and practice Qi, but there is one condition..."
"what?"
Chen Fenghuo tried to gather his spirits and looked Xi Heng in the eye. There was an unshakable firmness in his eyes as he continued to preach:
"If you really find a fairyland in the future, please let me go there."
……
Chapter 87: Setting Sail
Three days later, Pearl City.
Xi Heng has occupied the main temple of the Jingming Sect here, and the three words "Jingming Sect" on the plaque on the door have been replaced by the three words "Dark Sky" written by her herself.
She did not lead her men to smash and burn all the symbolic statues of the Jingming Sect in a whirlwind, but instead had them do it slowly, subtly guiding the local people's ideas and converting them to the faith of the Great Dark Heaven Sect.
Now, several missionary teams have been dispatched to various parts of the city.
After being busy with this matter for a while, Xi Heng was free today. He returned to the study room in the former Jingming Sect's main hall and silently read the Chitian Goddess's Chiling Tianfa.
When she defeated her opponent before, she just glanced through it casually.
Now is the time to truly begin practicing the above technique.
Most of the Chilingtian techniques are fire attack techniques, but there are also a small number of self-preservation techniques and transformation techniques.
Like what Chen Fenghuo had used before, the white gas shield that could block one or two attacks from a Hua Jin warrior was a way to protect oneself.
In addition, there is another way to protect yourself by surrounding the body with the Samadhi fire ball, and when the enemy comes, you can use the fire ball to attack or defend as you like.
There are also spells that spread thick white fog, hiding the body in it as a protection, or blocking the enemy's vision.
The spiritual white mist also has the effect of confusing the mind and can easily cause ordinary mortals to have hallucinations. It can be regarded as a kind of magic that is suitable for use in missionary work.
Another method is the transformation method, which can significantly change one's appearance, facial features, body shape, etc., and can last for several days after one use.
After trying this trick, Xi Heng could hardly recognize himself when he looked in the mirror again. He could only see him vaguely from some details of his movements.
In addition, there are also spells for healing injuries, eliminating diseases, and so on.
Compared with the Blood Sea Spell, the spells in this spell book are obviously more comprehensive.
But for some reason, the spells recorded in this book of Chi Ling Tian Fa are all smaller spells. There is no powerful spell like the Sea of Blood that can be used to settle a major war in one go.
"But if more spiritual energy is injected, the Earth Fire Method may be able to kill hundreds of people in one move..."
Xi Heng slowly flipped through the book and muttered to himself.
Thinking of the word "spiritual energy", she turned her gaze and stared at the five confiscated spirit stones on the long table beside her.
These spirit stones are similar in size and shape, and look delicate and exquisite, like the finest blue-green sapphires.
There is not a trace of blood on the surface of the spirit stone, nor does it emit a strange evil aura like the blood spirit stone.
"I wonder how these blue-green spirit stones were refined..."
Xi Heng held one in his hand.
In addition to being more beautiful in appearance, the blue spirit stone also contains purer and richer spiritual energy.
Holding it, you can faintly feel the rich spiritual energy in it.
If the spiritual energy in the blood spirit stone that Fang Tiande infused with the flesh and blood of a thousand people is called one thousand units, then the density of spiritual energy in this blue spirit stone is at least three thousand.
Another piece of trophy was a flying sword, but Xi Heng had not yet learned how to drive it, so it was difficult to evaluate its pros and cons.
She had never come into contact with this kind of spiritual weapon before, and all she had used were mortal weapons.
The surface of the flying sword looked rough and simple, as if it had not been sharpened for a long time. There was even some faint rust on the hilt, and the blade had countless tiny marks and was not sharp.
If Xi Heng didn't know that this was a flying sword, he would probably just think it was an old, broken sword and would just glance at it and not look at it again.
Then there were five complete talismans, the words on them were crooked and it was impossible to tell what effect or use each of them had.
Xi Heng turned over the Chi Ling Tian Fa in his hand over and over again, and spent almost the entire day trying out the spells. He consumed three hundred units of spiritual energy and smashed a huge rock in the backyard of the altar into pieces before he finally stopped.
"The power of fire magic is indeed one level stronger than the blood arrows and blood claws of the blood sea magic." Xi Heng said to himself.
"However, the woman was able to exert a force that could rival that of a Hua Jin warrior because she used hundreds of units of spiritual energy in each move..."
"There are five spirit stones in total, three of which are full, and two have been used more than half... a total of more than 12,000 units."
Xi Heng converted it using his own algorithm.
"What she said at the time about being able to cast more than a hundred spells in succession was not an exaggeration."
After trying the fire method, she turned her attention to the flying sword.
The Chi Ling Tian Fa also records the techniques for driving magical weapons such as flying swords.
But now she is using it, but she is not at all proficient in it.
He twisted the sword's fingers again and again, but at most the blade could only be raised twice, with the hilt still hanging down, and he couldn't even fly.
"This method of manipulation probably requires a long period of practice, but fortunately it doesn't consume much energy."
While practicing, Xi Heng remembered the Red Sky Goddess whom she had captured.
Before, when she was studying magic on her own, she had no one to ask for advice, but now it was different.
"Maybe I can ask her to teach me spells and swordplay, and the progress will be faster."
The woman had her spirit stone and talisman taken away by her, and her wrist bones were injured by her energy. Even if she had spirit stones or talismans hidden somewhere else, she was no longer able to activate them.
Now, this person no longer poses any threat to her.
Xi Heng recalled what the other party said when he was captured before.
The Goddess of Red Sky exchanged her short life for helping her find the immortal.
But after asking, Xi Heng's original expectations for it gradually disappeared.
Because although the other party had magic spells, spirit stones, flying swords and other items related to immortals, he was just like her in terms of searching for immortals, and had only heard some legends.
It is said that as long as you cross the Yaoyao Chonghai to the east, you can reach the realm where Jinghuo Mingzun and Dahantian are.
In that place, the spiritual energy will not float upwards and dissipate, but will remain in the world forever.
People can breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, practice qigong and cultivate immortality.
But legends are just legends after all.
Just like the so-called fairy mountain that Xi Heng had visited before, they were all just some illusory and unrealistic rumors.
She herself had also heard some rumors, for example: there were seven connected fairyland islands on Chonghai Sea, and the mortals living on them knew about the immortals and had the opportunity to join the immortal sect and seek the immortal's way.
"These legends are basically all false... But even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we have to go and take a look, otherwise we won't even have a target."
Therefore, Xi Heng has agreed with the other party and asked her to pursue the legendary fairyland on the other side of Chonghai.
Since Chen Fenghuo's original purpose of rebellion was to use his subordinates to help him find immortals and the way, after he gained power, he immediately ordered people to build a large ship.
Now the big ship has been built, and all that’s left is to launch it into the water.
The Goddess of Red Sky, who was captured by her, is promoting this matter and will set off today.
Xi Heng came here to find the immortals, so he would naturally follow them.
only……
The girl turned her eyes slightly and looked back at the study in the main house.
Senior Sister Hong Miao was over there, looking for any hidden spiritual stones, talismans, or magical books for her.
Xi Heng hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached.
……
"Junior sister, are you still going to look for immortals?"
In the study, Hong Miao, with her long hair loose, put down the book of immortal legends she had found in her hand.
She gently brushed her hair behind her ears with her fingertips, then tiptoed and looked back.
The bright pure gray eyes were fixed on Xi Heng who was approaching, and met his light red eyes.
Because he had already completed his revenge and had not used his blood and energy to kill for a long time, Hong Miao's fierce murderous intent as the successor of the Bloodline Sword had gradually faded.
