Chapter 1284: The Great Disaster of Year 0
Mrs. Qu was originally just one of the elders of the temple. Even if she had the strongest power among the elders, it did not mean that she could control the entire temple.
But if the two elders breathe out from the same nostril, the situation will be completely different.
Although Li Xiong is bloodthirsty, he still occupies the title of an elder and has the power of an elder. With Li Xiong's support, it is natural for Mrs. Qu to become the leader among the elders.
In the eyes of other elders, Li Xiong is Mrs. Qu's dependent, but in fact this is not the case.
After bringing Mrs. Qu's information to Zhou Ran, Li Xiong and Mrs. Qu met in the dense forest outside Linghai City.
Mrs. Qu did not go alone, she brought a confidant with her, one of the Seven Sons, Shu Ying.
Li Xiong couldn't help but sneered.
"Mrs. Qu, do you need to bring a bodyguard when you meet me? In the eyes of others, am I not your subordinate? How could I harm you?"
Faced with the bitter irony, Mrs. Qu remained unmoved and came to Li Xiong on crutches.
"Shuying is not a bodyguard. I asked him to assist you."
"Assist or monitor?" Li Xiong saw Mrs. Qu's purpose at a glance, his face was full of contempt, "Mrs. Qu, how can those wine bags and rice bags you raise compare with Wusetang? What do you mean, Seventh Son, die now? It's impossible for him to die or be injured. Letting this guy help me will only hinder me!"
Li Xiong devalued the Seventh Son as worthless. Fortunately, Shuying had a gentle personality and was not angry.
"Elder Li, Madam asked me to assist you. Even if you kill me, I will not leave. As for the surveillance you mentioned, I have not received an order, but I will act in accordance with Madam's will. If you make If you do something extreme, I will stop you or report it to Madam.”
Shuying's words were well-founded. Li Xiong knew that he couldn't argue with him, so he could only change the topic.
"Mrs. Qu, the Seventh Son lost his army. You sent me to take action in order to preserve your own strength, right? I could have refused originally, but if I really refused, I'm afraid those people like Qi Zunzhen and Ehuang would take the opportunity to deprive me of my benefits. , that’s why I agreed to you! I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t even trust Wusetang!”
"It's not that I don't worry about Wusetang, but I don't worry about you!" Mrs. Qu sighed and said, "Li Xiong, do you still remember the Thousand-Year Catastrophe? The disaster that occurs once in thousands of years in the Immortal Realm is caused by the sacred tree and the black It is caused by the trees. The existence that originally constructed this world is actually the biggest cancer in this world. This is the secret of the temple and the secret of the immortality world. No one knows it except the top officials of the temple. "
"What does the Thousand-Year Tribulation have to do with me?" Li Xiong sneered, "I only live by my own feelings. Once I lose this feeling, everything is not important to me! Madam Qu, the Black Tree Clan has been around for hundreds of years. I personally destroyed them before. If the Black Tree Clan reappears, I will kill them all in the same way!"
"Merely exterminating the clan is useless. The best place for the sacred tree and the black tree to belong is to monitor them in the name of the temple. Only in this way can the immortal world be able to have long-term peace and stability."
Mrs. Qu continued, but how could Li Xiong be willing to listen?
"Long-term peace and stability? Mrs. Qu, this sentence sounds strange from your mouth. Maybe in front of others, you are a loving temple elder, but I know your ambition very well! You want to control the entire For the long-term peace and stability of the Immortal World, it’s just a high-sounding excuse.”
Li Xiong's words left Mrs. Qu speechless.
Shuying quickly said: "Elder Li, you don't understand Madam. Madam is the one who hopes for peace in the Immortal World the most! Even if you want to control the entire Immortal World, it is just because doing so can better bring happiness to others!"
"Stop talking, Shuying." Mrs. Qu stopped Shuying from continuing. She looked at Li Xiong again, "Li Xiong, you and I are just in a cooperative relationship, but since we have reached an agreement, you must follow my instructions. Do it! No one in the Immortal World has been interested in the Heart of the Black Tree for hundreds of years.
This is a big deal for the immortality world! My investment in Black Emperor failed, but Zhou Ran is different, he is a target that can be used. Therefore, before taking advantage of Zhou Ran, I don't want you to attack him. Wusetang is just here to scare him. "
"Scaring?" Li Xiong snorted coldly, "If the five-color killer doesn't take action, he will kill people if he does. How can there be any reason to scare people? Although you will be unhappy if I say it, I have already sent a five-color killer. He is lurking in Linghai City. As for whether he will kill Zhou Ran, I don’t know.”
"Have you sent a killer?"
Mrs. Qu was stunned, the expression on her face was a little complicated.
After a long time, Mrs. Qu's expression softened: "Forget it! If that guy can't even survive the first level, there's no way he can be used by the temple! No matter whether it's a sacred tree or a black tree, it doesn't matter. Must be an instrument of the temple!”
After saying a few words, Mrs. Qu left slowly.
He looks old and decrepit, but he is quite fast.
Li Xiong watched Mrs. Qu leave, and then looked at the shadows of the trees around him.
"Do you really want to stay with me?" Li Xiong asked coldly.
"Exactly!" Shuying nodded heavily.
"If that's the case, then go to hell!"
The expression on Li Xiong's face suddenly became fierce, and without any warning, he pierced Shu Ying's chest with his palm.
The tree shadow's body shrank rapidly, like a dry tree. After a while, the tree shadow was completely absorbed by Li Xiong.
"Don't overestimate your capabilities! I, Li Xiong, don't need other people's spies by my side!" After killing Mrs. Qu's confidant, Li Xiong didn't feel any guilt at all, and the smell of blood made him excited. "Mrs. Qu, even you are the same! If you dare to disturb my interest, I will let you become my nourishment!"
Li Xiong said harshly, and then disappeared in a flash.
After the figure of the temple elder disappeared, the tree shadow that was originally killed by Li Xiong appeared.
At this time, Shuying was sweating profusely and panting, with a panic expression on his face.
"Fortunately, I was on guard and used my clone to die instead of myself. Otherwise, I would really have become the food of that lunatic! What a terrible guy. Madam can't suppress him at all. Asking me to help him is basically trying to steal the skin of a tiger." ! But if I go back shamelessly, my wife will definitely blame me, so I have to find a way to get the best of both worlds!"
The tree shadow said to himself that he was already in a difficult situation.
After thinking for a long time, Shuying finally came up with an idea and headed towards Linghai City.
