The expression on Qimingzi's face froze instantly.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak.
But it seemed like something was stuck in his throat, causing him to only make a clicking sound.
"Why....."
After a long time, Qimingzi slowly uttered three words.
The voice is extremely hoarse.
His eyes were even bloodshot.
Zhang Tiandao was silent.
"I asked you why!!!"
Qimingzi suddenly stood up and asked the elder he once respected the most.
Violent spiritual power burst out from his body.
Sword marks suddenly appeared on the surrounding wooden walls, and they increased faster and faster.
"Boy."
At this time, Yi Yan, who had not spoken since Zhang Tiandao appeared, spoke coldly.
"I advise you to calm down."
There was a cold light in his eyes as he looked at Qimingzi.
At the same time, the temperature in the room rose sharply.
The intense high temperature causes distortions in the air that are visible to the naked eye.
Standing aside, Wang Qimin could even see the hair on his forehead beginning to twist and burn.
Waves of heat hit his face, giving Wang Qimin the illusion of standing in a sea of fire.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, Zhang Tiandao yelled.
As his voice sounded.
Invisible power fluctuations swept out.
Suddenly, all the strange images in the room suddenly disappeared.
Then, Zhang Tiandao stood up slowly and looked directly into Qimingzi's angry eyes.
"Perhaps it's time for us to meet formally."
Hearing this, Qimingzi frowned immediately.
"What do you mean?"
Wang Qimin also looked puzzled.
Isn't Zhang Tiandao standing in front of the two of them?
Isn't this his true identity?
"Hey, old man, you..."
A trace of surprise flashed in Yi Yan's eyes.
He turned to look at Zhang Tiandao and was about to say something, but Zhang Tiandao raised his hand to stop him.
"No problem."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Qimin and Wang Qimin suddenly became more confused.
I have no idea what riddle they are playing.
But Zhang Tiandao did not confuse the two of them for long.
I saw him raise his hand and wave.
The scenery around the few people suddenly began to distort.
The color of the entire wooden house began to slowly fade away, leaving only black and white lines.
The sudden change made Wang Qimin a little stunned.
But what they saw next really shocked their brains.
As the black lines gradually fade away.
The originally antique room was finally left with only a huge pure white space, giving people a very depressing feeling.
Yan Yan was still sitting in his original position, with an expression that said, "You can do whatever you want."
But Qimingzi and Wang Qimin didn't pay attention to him at all.
Their eyes were all focused on Yu Yan's side, where Zhang Tiandao was originally located.
But Zhang Tiandao has disappeared.
Instead, it is a cylindrical container.
The container is filled with blue liquid.
A head with only the left half left was floating quietly in the center of the container.
Countless small tubes connect the fractured part of the skull to the instruments, seemingly transporting nutrients.
But even so, you can still see the black mist wrapping around the head, seeming to be constantly eating away at it.
And this head only has half left.
It was Zhang Zhengdao.
"What's this?"
Kai Mingzi looked at the container blankly and muttered to himself.
"This is me."
Zhang Tiandao's old voice sounded in his ears.
It's just that compared to before, his voice now is a little less strong and a little more weak.
"No...impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Qimingzi shook his head repeatedly with an expression of disbelief.
He couldn't believe it, he was the number one person in the spiritual world back then.
The invincible Heavenly Master.
The existence that I once needed to look up to.
That person is known as the person who is most likely to ascend to immortality after his spiritual energy fades.
Now, only half of his head is left, and he is surviving on the nutrients delivered by the life-sustaining container.
"Little friend."
At this time, Zhang Tiandao did not comfort Qimingzi who was in a sluggish state, but chose to talk to Wang Qimin about the unfinished matters before.
"I agree to the cooperation between you and me."
"The Bureau of Strangeness can be responsible for selecting people and using your talisman skills to create a large number of powerful people to eliminate the strangeness."
"We can also let you borrow the intelligence system to accurately locate the strange location."
Very good!
Hearing this, Wang Qimin, who was still in a state of surprise, suddenly became happy.
At this moment, the purpose of this trip was achieved.
"but."
Zhang Tiandao changed the topic.
"I have a request."
"Tianshi, please tell me."
Wang Qimin had already been mentally prepared for this and said respectfully.
Having just listened to the conversation, I roughly guessed that Zhang Tiandao must be an extremely important figure before his strange recovery.
"All powerful people created are not allowed to practice."
"Not only that, but also you and the people behind you."
"Why?!"
Wang Qimin's eyes widened instantly and he uttered a sound of surprise.
"For the entire Blue Star, even if there are no magic exorcists, even if there are no monks, we will develop other methods to fight against the weird."
"Perhaps this will lead to some deaths, which is unavoidable."
"But weirdness has never been a big problem."
"At best, they can only be regarded as a stubborn disease of this planet. They may be difficult to eradicate, and if left unchecked, they may become more and more serious."
"But believe me, please also believe in the human group."
"Strangeness will not lead to the destruction of the planet, nor will it lead to the extinction of mankind."
"But...."
Wang Qimin spoke again.
He felt that Zhang Tiandao might not know about the Death Star.
After all, according to what Li Haoran said, as time goes by, the Death Star's pollution of Blue Star will only become more and more serious, and may even eventually cause Blue Star to become a weird amusement park.
"You want to say Death Star?"
But Zhang Tiandao directly interrupted Wang Qimin's words.
"That is indeed a big problem that we cannot solve at this stage."
"But do you know how long it will take for the Death Star to pollute the Blue Star into what you imagined?"
"It's going to be a long, long time."
"Long enough for us humans to figure out a way to isolate the smell of pollution."
"The current research of the Bureau of Secrets includes this part, and preliminary results have been achieved."
"Don't forget, in an era of declining aura, it is technology that has truly led mankind to where it is now."
"But, how does this conflict with cultivation? If cultivation and technology cooperate, wouldn't it be faster to completely solve the Death Star's troubles?"
Wang Qimin was really puzzled.
"...."
When he said this, Zhang Tiandao did not answer immediately.
The pure white space was shrouded in silence.
Zhang Tiandao seemed to be thinking about something.
After a long time.
Wang Qimin heard a faint sigh.
Then, his voice sounded in the minds of Qi Mingzi and Wang Qimin at the same time.
"Qimingzi, don't be stupid."
"The two of you will listen to the next words together."
Zhang Tiandao's voice pulled Qimingzi out of his sluggish state.
Although he still couldn't accept the fact.
But this did not prevent him from listening to what Zhang Tiandao planned to say next.
"The reason why I don't think weirdness is a big problem."
"That's because I have seen even more terrifying existences before."
"That is an existence that we cannot contend with. It can even be said that we humans are just an imperceptible speck of dust to it."
"Its name is..."
For some reason, Wang Qimin could faintly feel that there was a hint of fear in Zhang Zhengdao's voice.
It seemed that the name he was going to mention next made him feel a little unstable.
"Extraordinary demon."
Strange monster?
Qimingzi and Wang Qimin had puzzled expressions on their faces at the same time.
They have never heard of this name.
"Back then, I led the practice community to eliminate weird things, and everything went smoothly at first."
"But no matter how fast we clear it up, those weird things are still springing up like mushrooms after a rain."
"So, I wanted to find out the source of the strangeness and eradicate it completely."
"Soon, I saw the Death Star outside the world barrier."
"It is this planet that is quietly suspended in the universe not far from us, and its own pollution is constantly spreading, which led to the strange birth."
"Back then, I relied on my strength and had no sense of awe."
"He directly traveled across the universe with his soul, trying to explore the situation of the Death Star."
"But...I didn't find anything."
"As far as the eye can see, there are bones everywhere and devastation everywhere."
"It once seemed to be a living world, but I didn't know how terrible it was. It eventually became the Death Star it is today."
"Then, I began to explore the world of the Death Star with my soul, trying to find some clues."
"but...."
"I discovered something unexpectedly."
"That's a black hole."
"I didn't know what it meant at first, so I tried to put my sense into it."
"Then I saw it..."
When he said this, the fear in Zhang Tiandao's words became more and more obvious.
Even the head in the container was trembling slightly.
"It didn't even notice me."
"Just by gazing at its existence, I ended up like this."
"If it weren't for my heavenly master's supreme treasure, which protected a trace of my soul at the cost of being shattered, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."
Hearing this, the horror on the faces of Wang Qimin and Wang Qimin could no longer be increased.
Wang Qimin was lucky because he was just an ordinary person before and didn't know how strong Zhang Tiandao was.
But Qimingzi is different.
He had seen Zhang Tiandao's invincible appearance.
Tianshi Dao can become the leader of the entire spiritual world, and can even command all forces, whether they are decent sects or demonic sects.
All because of the existence of Zhang Tiandao.
And he almost ended up in a state of despair just because he glanced at the other party?
One can imagine the shock in Qi Mingzi's heart.
"But... what does this have to do with the Secret Bureau's purge of monks and your refusal to let us practice?"
Wang Qimin asked hesitantly.
"The moment I saw it, some of its memories seemed to naturally flow into my mind."
"Including its name, the world it once destroyed, and those who fought hard but ultimately died."
"This existence is called a strange demon."
"The other party does not seem to exist in our dimension, but rather in a higher level space."
"The Death Star was born because of the attention it received."
"That's what led to this happening."
"They are those powerful monks."
...
Blue Star, somewhere.
In an unknown lake, dozens of men in black robes stood quietly.
The water barely covered their feet.
The spiritual mist rising from the water enveloped their figures and continued to penetrate into their bodies along the holes in their heads.
But these men in black robes not only did not reject them, but also showed happy expressions on their faces.
"We're here."
The leading man in black robe slowly lifted his hood.
Revealing an old face.
His skin was as dry as brown tree bark, and his face was covered with countless grooves.
I saw him take a deep breath.
The pure spiritual energy around him immediately penetrated into his body along his mouth and nose.
Feeling the long-lost pure spiritual energy, the old man spoke softly.
"The Core of the World."
"The lifeblood of Blue Star."
"If we could have discovered this place before the strange resurgence, maybe we wouldn't have to embark on the road we are on today."
"It's a pity that now we have no way to turn back."
"Do you regret it?"
The old man turned his head and asked the dozens of men in black robes behind him.
"No regrets."
Everyone answered in unison.
The sound is not loud.
But very determined.
The old man nodded happily.
Then, he bent down and picked up a spoonful of lake water.
The lake water, which was condensed from the materialized pure spiritual power, flowed down his dry fingers.
"In that case, let's get started."
Thick and malicious black aura emanated from his body surface.
These black spiritual energies sink slowly.
Like ink dripping into clear water.
The black color began to spread towards the entire lake.
.......
YQ City, in a hotel.
Li Haoran sat beside the bed, looking out the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
His feet stepped on Zhang Liang's head, rolling back and forth.
The sound of the skull being overwhelmed came from inside the skull, and Zhang Liang's face was full of pain.
But he gritted his teeth tightly and did not dare to make a sound.
After seeing Li Haoran's strength, he was already frightened.
I'm afraid that if I make a mistake and make the other party unhappy, I will directly return myself to the Bureau of Conspiracy.
At this time, in the corner of the room, two exorcists from YQ City were sitting on the sofa, with their hands on their knees, their bodies very straight and motionless.
"Don't be so afraid."
Li Haoran waved his hand.
"I have my own affairs, and I have no intention of contacting your Secret Bureau."
"You just need to know that I have no hostility towards you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two exorcists nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
Seeing this, Li Haoran didn't bother to pay attention to them.
As long as they don't spread the news about themselves.
Then, he lifted the head that was open on the ground.
"Hey, I need to ask you a favor."
Zhang Liang's head was somewhat deformed due to the trampling.
But he still forced a smile.
"My lord, just ask me, I will do my best to do it!"
"I need you to find a way to hold Li San off for at least two days."
