Ch 256: The Millennium Plan
Qiang Liu’s two fingers rummaged around in Mo Qianchou’s head for a while, and actually dug out a black Gu insect!
At this moment, Mo Qianchou’s expression became extremely ferocious, and from her distorted face, it could be seen how much pain she was in.
After Qiang Liu crushed the black Gu insect, his gaze turned to Bei Miaomiao.
“This Lord is Qiang Liu. Have you heard of me?” Qiang Liu
Bei Miaomiao trembled all over.
The taboo name “Qiang Liu” is known to every Daoist!
The strongest Wicked Ways practitioner!
Also the Daoist who has committed the most murders!
In the history of Daoist Arts, the famous extermination events were all done by Qiang Liu!
But there was no killing intent in Qiang Liu’s eyes, which made Bei Miaomiao slightly relieved.
“Little girl, are you also a member of the Ming Snake Clan?”
Qiang Liu sat cross-legged and asked abruptly.
“How… how did you know?” Bei Miaomiao stammered.
A terrifying legend suddenly came to Bei Miaomiao’s mind.
Rumor has it that Qiang Liu once captured a large number of Ming Snake Clan members for experiments, acting insanely, and then researched the Dark Zodiac Twelve Seals.
Could it be… could it be that because she is also a member of the Ming Snake Clan, Qiang Liu is going to kill her?
Is this just the calm before the storm?
Bei Miaomiao’s heart trembled.
And facing Qiang Liu, Bei Miaomiao couldn’t muster the courage to escape.
This feeling… was even stronger than the pressure she felt in front of Zhang Buran!
“This Lord can sense your bloodline aura… because this Lord was also a member of the Ming Snake Clan in the past.”
Qiang Liu revealed this news, leaving Bei Miaomiao shocked and unable to process it for a long time.
“You… you say you are a member of the Ming Snake Clan, then why did you slaughter the Ming Snake Clan on a large scale?”
Bei Miaomiao mustered her courage and asked.
In fact, the Bei Family of the Ming Snake Clan was once a powerful Daoist family.
Since ancient times, families who practice Daoist Arts have been divided into ten major clans, collectively known as the Daoist Ten Clans.
The Daoist Ten Clans have been passed down for thousands of years in the form of families, with deep and long-standing foundations, and are the mysterious “Hidden Families” among ordinary wealthy families.
But 1000 years ago, the once powerful “Ming Snake Clan Bei Family” and the “Wangshu Mountain Bai Family” among the Daoist Alliance Ten Clans…
Because of the Wicked Ways practitioner Qiang Liu’s appearance, he slaughtered Ming Snake Clan members and the Bai Family on a large scale, the Bai Family was exterminated, and the Bei Family almost ceased to exist.
Moreover, Qiang Liu also used the Reverse Blood Curse to eliminate the Ming Snake Clan’s signature magic, the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art.
This led to the decline of the Bei Family, causing them to fall from their position and be expelled from the ranks of the Daoist Clans.
With the Bai Family exterminated and the Bei Family fallen, after this, the “Daoist Ten Clans” became the “Daoist Eight Clans,” which have been passed down to this day.
Xia Yun belongs to the Xia Family among the Daoist Eight Clans.
Hu Loulan and Mu Dieyi belong to the Hu Family and Mu Family respectively.
“What does the rumor say?” Qiang Liu raised an eyebrow and asked back.
“The rumor says… it’s because… because the Ming Snake Clan and the Bai Family displeased you, and you slaughtered the people of the two clans in a fit of rage…”
“You also used the Reverse Blood Curse, sacrificing tens of thousands of evil ghosts, resulting in the descendants of the Ming Snake Clan no longer inheriting the ‘Spirit Snake Manipulation Art’.”
“The rumor is not wrong, the Ming Snake Clan did provoke me, but there is one thing that the world does not know.” Qiang Liu said indifferently:
“Let me tell you a story.”
“1000 years ago, the Bei Family of the Ming Snake Clan, the clan leader gave birth to a male infant with horns on his head, which was regarded as an ominous sign.”
“Willow trees are regarded as an ominous sign by the Ming Snake Clan, and it is rumored that this male infant was cursed by a willow tree, and was named Bei Liu.”
“Bei Liu was not favored by the clan members since childhood, suffering cold shoulders, but luckily he had the support of his father, the clan leader.”
“And on the day of the Opening Aperture Ceremony, all the young members of the clan inherited the Ming Snake Clan’s ancestral magic, ‘Spirit Snake Manipulation Art,’ but Bei Liu did not inherit it.”
“This also led to the clan leader’s father being completely disappointed and using Bei Liu as a tool for a marriage alliance, marrying him into the Wangshu Mountain Bai Family.”
“At that time, Bei Liu was only 12 years old.”
“After marrying in, Bei Liu’s life did not improve at all. The Bai Family Miss also looked down on a waste son-in-law, even mingling with young masters from other families.”
“Later, Bei Liu didn’t want to live a useless life, so he ran away and wandered alone.”
“In order to gain power, Bei Liu began to explore new paths, researching evil Daoist Methods, and even using ghost refining methods, wanting to refine a flame that could burn everything.”
“Later, Bei Liu was targeted by the Daoist Alliance and hunted by several Daoists.”
“Especially the Bei Family and the Bai Family, they sent a large number of Daoists with profound magical power.”
“Bei Liu hid everywhere, but was finally found by a group of Daoists who were hunting him.”
“Then, Bei Liu died.”
“Killed by the Daoists of the Bei and Bai families.”
“The body was thrown into a mass grave.”
“But with a strong desire to survive and evil magic, two days after stopping breathing, Bei Liu crawled out of the mass grave and changed his name…”
“Qiang Liu.”
“From then on, there was no more Ming Snake Clan Bei Liu in the world, only the Wicked Ways practitioner Qiang Liu.”
As Qiang Liu spoke, his eyes became sharp, and the evil spirit around him surged…
Actually, when Qiang Liu spoke halfway, Bei Miaomiao had already guessed it.
This is Qiang Liu’s experience.
However, all the historical records and unofficial histories have not mentioned Qiang Liu having such an experience.
So… the Wicked Ways practitioner Qiang Liu, who made the world tremble with fear, was actually from the Ming Snake Clan Bei Family.
Calculating it carefully, Bei Miaomiao is actually Qiang Liu’s descendant.
Bei Miaomiao couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.
Even if they had a blood relationship, it was a difference of a thousand years!
Moreover, even in Qiang Liu’s time, he would have slaughtered the Ming Snake Clan members without hesitation…
Bei Miaomiao trembled uncontrollably because of fear…
“Little girl, don’t panic, I won’t kill you.”
“Let me finish the story.”
Qiang Liu no longer called himself “This Lord,” but adopted a calm attitude.
“After being resurrected, I found the Fallen Immortal, the leader of the Four Ghost Emperors, and made a deal with him.”
“He used countless ghosts to help me refine the Evil Fire Nether Candle, and I helped him open the Fengdu Ghost City.”
Qiang Liu looked at his nails casually and said.
“Fengdu… Ghost City?”
Bei Miaomiao was greatly shocked. Wasn’t the Fengdu Ghost City only a legend?
It was a city where millions of evil ghosts and wandering spirits gathered after death, existing only in legends.
In history, no living person has ever witnessed the Fengdu Ghost City.
Qiang Liu actually said he was going to open the Fengdu Ghost City?
Isn’t this nonsense?
If it weren’t for Qiang Liu saying it himself, Bei Miaomiao would never have believed it.
“Fengdu Ghost City… isn’t it a legend?” Bei Miaomiao asked hesitantly, “Have you seen it?”
“Of course… I haven’t seen it.” Qiang Liu yawned, playing with his fingernails and explaining, “Until now, this Lord has not successfully opened the Fengdu Ghost City, after all, this is a thousand-year plan.”
“Everything will be discussed after this Lord regains all his power.”
Then, Qiang Liu looked at Bei Miaomiao and said meaningfully, “And you, little girl, you have also stumbled into a part of my plan.”
“Do you know why, after I avenged myself and slaughtered the Bai Family, I still left the Bei Family lineage to this day?”
“Because of the special nature of the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art.”
“Spirit Snake Manipulation Art?” Bei Miaomiao widened her eyes.
“Among the countless spells in the world, there is no spell that can perfectly absorb Ghost Qi and convert it.”
“Only the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art.”
“It’s fine to tell you…”
Qiang Liu began to talk incessantly.
The reason why he revealed his plan to Bei Miaomiao was because Qiang Liu felt that such a little girl would not be able to cause any trouble.
Although it is said that villains die from talking too much, it does not exist in Qiang Liu’s case.
Although Qiang Liu said that he has been wasting his breath from just now until now, he has been using his Divine Sense to vigilantly check the surroundings. If there is anything unusual, Qiang Liu will immediately counterattack.
In addition, Qiang Liu has already sent several Wicked Ways practitioners to be vigilant in all directions, so he can be so unscrupulous.
The Daoist Alliance’s personnel were already empty, and because of the previous battle, the high-end combat power was completely slaughtered by Qiang Liu.
Daoists with the ability to fight have all been killed.
Now, the Daoists still alive in the Daoist Alliance are not even Yellow Level, and are insignificant.
In addition, all electronic devices have been destroyed by Qiang Liu, and the signal is blocked, so it is very difficult to send a distress signal to the outside world.
It can be said that now, the entire Daoist Alliance is already in Qiang Liu’s grasp.
“Little girl, do you know the origin of this special magic, the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art.”
“The Ming Snake Clan is the inheritor of the Zodiac Serpent Seal, and this is the foundation of their clan.”
“The Zodiac Serpent Seal has only appeared among the Ming Snake Clan members throughout history, so the ancestors of the Ming Snake Bei Family, relying on the research of the power of the Zodiac Serpent Seal, created the most basic Spirit Snake Manipulation Art.”
“Even in my generation, the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art was still incomplete.”
“The Spirit Snake Manipulation Art can absorb Ghost Qi and convert it… this is similar to the Zodiac Dog Seal, but the Zodiac Dog Shikigami only simply swallows and digests it, not converting it, it’s imperfect.”
“The Spirit Snake Manipulation Art is like lighting wood to turn it into flames, while the Zodiac Dog Shikigami is like chewing wood into sawdust. In the end, both consume the wood, the process is the same, but the essence is different.”
“Even if I tell you all this, you won’t understand it anyway. You just need to know that I perfected the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art in the end.”
“The original Spirit Snake Manipulation Art could only absorb a small part of the Ghost Qi. After my improvement, the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art can absorb more Ghost Qi, and the upper limit… can even absorb the Ghost Qi of a Ghost Emperor.”
“And one of the conditions for opening the Fengdu Ghost City is… the Ghost Qi of the Four Ghost Emperors!”
“Four Ghost Emperors?”
Bei Miaomiao was astonished. The Four Ghost Emperors, in the past thousand years… no! In the entire history of the Daoist Alliance, they were rare existences!
Only at major historical turning points would the Four Ghost Emperors appear!
Ten-Eyed Demon Lord.
Black Bone Saint Monarch.
Death-Faced Buddha.
And the Fallen Immortal Emperor, the leader of the Four Ghost Kings!
Which one is not a resounding name?
Although the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord is now gone.
But the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord’s eyeballs are still well preserved.
But the other three Ghost Emperors are ghosts who live in rumors.
Qiang Liu actually shamelessly wants their Ghost Qi?
Even Bei Miaomiao could think of Zhang Muran, the current top Heavenly Level Daoist, who suffered a great loss against the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord.
Although he killed the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord, Zhang Buran was also sealed for three years, becoming an ordinary person for three years.
Is Qiang Liu going to repeat the same mistake?
“I know what you’re thinking, you may think this is a fantasy.”
“But I tell you, the day the Fengdu Ghost City opens… will not be far away.”
“Now, half of the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord’s eyeballs are in the Daoist Alliance.”
“And this is the Fallen Immortal’s request, his Ghost Qi is not difficult to obtain.”
“Isn’t this already half solved?”
“The remaining Black Bone and Death-Faced Buddha, this Lord has fought with them both before, one is a coward, the other is extremely hypocritical.”
“Their Ghost Qi is not difficult to obtain either.”
“This Lord has already sent those wastes to the Ghost Binding Hall to retrieve the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord’s eyeballs. I hope they are not really as useless as I think.”
As soon as Qiang Liu finished speaking, he noticed several people running over in a hurry.
The leader was Meng Changyong, who, upon seeing Qiang Liu, was too ashamed to look him in the eye.
Meng Changyong knelt down neatly, “Master Qiang Liu, this lowly one is incompetent! The Ghost Binding Hall is simply too strange!”
“As soon as this lowly one entered, there was an incredibly fast black shadow that constantly obstructed me. I couldn’t see the person’s face at all, and then I was driven out.”
“And the Ghost Qi in the Ghost Binding Hall is too strong, I couldn’t tell where the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord’s eyeballs were, and I didn’t dare to set the Ghost Binding Hall on fire, so… so…”
“So you can’t even do this small thing well, and you still come to bother this Lord?” Qiang Liu’s eyes clearly flashed a hint of displeasure, glancing at Meng Changyong sideways, “Useless.”
“Possessing this Lord’s power, you can’t even do this small thing well.”
Meng Changyong bit his lip, but ultimately swallowed his anger… He didn’t dare to act rashly in front of Qiang Liu.
“Master Qiang Liu, the main reason is that the black shadow’s speed was too fast, I feel… his speed is almost comparable to yours, Master!”
“Oh? Let’s go and see.” Qiang Liu became interested and immediately went.
Meng Changyong and several other Wicked Ways little brothers bowed and scraped in front, leading the way.
Arriving at the Ghost Binding Hall, looking at this ancient and exquisite building full of a sense of history, but not dilapidated, Qiang Liu did not have much reverence.
Instead, he kicked the door open with a heavy kick and went in.
Meng Changyong also followed behind him.
As soon as the two entered, the Ghost Binding Hall door slammed shut automatically.
Red and yellow luminous runes flickered inside, barely illuminating the surroundings, but the visibility was not very high.
From the outside, the Ghost Binding Hall didn’t seem very big, but once inside, it seemed boundless at a glance.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed behind the two.
Qiang Liu frowned, turning his head first, but the black shadow had already disappeared without a trace.
The shadow flickered several times, suddenly rushing towards Qiang Liu quickly, launching an attack.
Qiang Liu quickly turned his head and received a punch.
But at the moment of contact with Qiang Liu, the black shadow turned into black mist and disappeared with a “whoosh.”
“Master, I told you! This black shadow is too strange!”
“Master, you don’t know, when this lowly one fought with it for a moment, I was beaten black and blue!”
Meng Changyong exaggeratedly described how hard he had worked.
But Qiang Liu was annoyed and didn’t want to listen, directly slapping Meng Changyong in the face.
Meng Changyong’s neck was twisted, unable to bear it, he knelt down, but there was not a trace of resentment in his heart.
Since he had sold his personality for power, he had to be prepared to be treated like a dog.
