Chapter 593: Human Heart
"Nothing, just helping an old friend fulfill his wish." Duan Qing smiled and explained casually.
Before Qin Xiaoliu's spirit dissipated, he asked Duan Qing to take him home.
This is Qin Xiaoliu's last wish, and Duan Qing naturally wants to help him fulfill it.
However, Qin Xiaoliu's body was not found and he could not take his body home for burial.
So he packed some soil that had been contaminated by the mucus of the origin beast and prepared to send it back to Zhengdong Town when he had the opportunity to return to Xiaonanjie.
After all, Qin Xiaoliu and the source beast are symbiotic. If the soil has touched the source beast's body, it can be regarded as having a cause and effect with Qin Xiaoliu.
Speaking of which, Qin Xiaoliu was just a simple young man who was accidentally swallowed by a source beast and got involved in this series of things.
Compared to Jiang Wuye who deserved his crime, Qin Xiaoliu was actually very innocent.
If possible, he would like to save Qin Xiaoliu.
But Qin Xiaoliu, Yuan Beast and Jiang Wuye are no longer separated from each other. When the Fantasy Butterfly kills Jiang Wuye and Yuan Beast's souls, Qin Xiaoliu is not spared.
There was nothing he could do about it.
If Jiang Wuye remains alive, he and Xue Wanyun will die.
He has no choice.
All he can do is help Qin Xiaoliu return to his homeland.
Seeing that Duan Qing refused to elaborate, Xue Wanyun didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, she also vaguely guessed Duan Qing's purpose.
After all, she was watching from outside the Origin Beast itself.
Although Zhaixing was curious about Duan Qing's behavior, what he cared about more was the whereabouts of the Origin Beast.
Judging from the fact that Duan Qing and Xue Wanyun were safe and sound, the Origin Beast was either dead or escaped.
Considering the gradual dissipation of source energy between heaven and earth, he prefers the former.
He was really curious about how Duan Qing and Xue Wanyun killed the source beast when they were unable to use their spiritual power.
You must know that the source beast is immortal and is far more terrifying than the desolate beast.
The Taihuang Sect had been planning for countless years to kill the desolate beast in the primitive wasteland, but had not been able to kill it successfully.
Based on the Taihuang Sect's understanding of the origin beast, they believe that the most effective way to kill the origin beast is to kill it directly with the soul.
However, the method of killing souls is too rare. The Taihuang Sect has been searching for it for many years, but has never been able to achieve its goal.
Although the origin beast in Yunzhou's wasteland has not yet matured and is not as good as the one in the primitive wasteland, it has grown to the point where it can use origin energy.
Logically speaking, it would not be so easy to be killed.
Could it be that these two people actually have the means to kill souls?
After thinking about it, Zhaixing felt that this was the only way to explain it.
Especially when he thought of the methods Duan Qing used to control him and Adi, he was even more certain of his speculation.
Thinking of this, Reaching for the Stars couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Whether it was the Source Pill or the soul-killing method, they all made his heart flutter.
"Hey, where is the Origin Beast?" Zhaixing pretended to realize that the Origin Beast was missing. He looked around and tried to test him.
"Dead!" Duan Qing said calmly.
The origin energy between heaven and earth was fading, he could feel it, and Zhaixing could naturally feel it as well. There was no need for him to hide Zhaixing.
"Dead? Boy, you are quite capable!" Zhaixing pretended to be surprised.
He was surprised, three points were true and seven points were false.
Although he had guessed it, he was still shocked when he heard Duan Qing say it.
"No, it's just thanks to fellow Daoist Taoist Zhaixing!" Duan Qing said truthfully, the irony in his words was palpable.
If it weren't for Zhaixing, wandering around and provoking the Origin Beast, what would happen next.
Zhaixing was only thinking about how to seize the treasure from Duan Qing, but he didn't hear Duan Qing's sarcasm.
At this time, Duan Qing noticed that Zuo Muxiu and others were rushing towards the three of them not far away.
Seeing Zuo Muxiu and others, Xue Wanyun pursed her lips and muttered: "People who are greedy for life and afraid of death have the nerve to come back!"
Previously, when Zuo Muxiu and his party saw the Origin Beast, they turned around and ran away without saying a word. She remembered this clearly.
How could she look good when seeing a few more people at this time?
Although she understood that everyone had lost all their spiritual power at that time, even if they came back, they would not be able to help Duan Qing.
But she just felt uncomfortable.
Zhaixing also spotted Zuo Muxiu and his party, and his eyes flashed with joy.
Soon, Zuo Muxiu and others came closer.
Zuo Muxiu held the unconscious Zuo Wanqiu in his arms, his expression was gloomy, his face was not very good, and he was silent.
Huang Shi beside him was pale, and his eyes were even redder.
As for Li Nian and Mo Jian, they were doing much better, but they were just a little shaken.
Obviously, the previous state of complete loss of spiritual power made everyone feel very frightened.
"Wanyun, are you okay?" Mo Jian stepped forward and asked Xue Wanyun in concern, regardless of his injuries that had not yet healed.
"Hmph, hindsight!!" Xue Wanyun didn't even look at Mo Jian and leaned closer to Duan Qing with an indifferent expression.
Seeing Xue Wanyun's actions, Mo Jian turned pale and glared at Duan Qing viciously.
Being choked by Xue Wanyun, no one else present said anything.
Xue Wanyun's hindsight was not just about Mo Jian.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue became a little subtle.
Seeing this, Zuo Muxiu was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but his face suddenly changed slightly and his body trembled imperceptibly.
He first glanced at Zhai Xing calmly, and then looked at Huang Shi, who was pale, and Zuo Wanqiu, who was unconscious in his arms, with a tangled look in his eyes.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth secretly and seemed to make a decision.
Brother Duan Xian, I'm sorry!
Zuo Muxiu shouted angrily in his heart, and without saying a word, he threw Zuo Wanqiu in his arms to Huang Shi, then decisively launched his flying sword, and Duan Qing slashed out a golden sword energy.
At the same time, Zhaixing on the other side, as if he had made an agreement with Zuo Muxiu, attacked at the same time, using the Desolate Sky Mirror to shoot a divine light at Duan Qing.
The two attacked without warning, shocking everyone present.
But Duan Qing seemed to have expected this scene. The moment the two took action, he pulled away and hid to the side, avoiding the joint attack of the two in time.
At this moment, he was very disappointed.
He was not disappointed with himself, but disappointed with Zuo Muxiu.
In fact, he found that Zuo Muxiu was not right before the source beast appeared.
In addition, he noticed that Huang Shi's face was abnormal. With his mind, it was easy to guess the trick.
Huang Shi should have been injured by the desolate people when he was covering Zuo Muxiu to enter the water-proof cover, so that the desolate energy entered his body and he was gradually transformed into a desolate person.
He could see this, and Zhaixing, who came from the Taihuang Sect and knew a lot about the wasteland, could naturally see it.
And maybe he still had a way to save Huang Shi.
Judging from Zhaixing's hatred for him, it seems that she was threatening Huang Shi and Zuo Wanqiu to force Zuo Muxiu to attack him.
It was because he saw this trick that he did not reveal the matter after discovering that Huang Shi was injured by Huang Ren.
If he revealed the matter, not only would he fail to save Huang Shi, but it would also make things out of control.
Besides, he also wanted to know what choice Zuo Muxiu would make.
Would he choose him who had done him a favor, or Zhaixing.
If Zuo Muxiu chose him and told him the truth, he would definitely help him with all his strength for the sake of his friendship with Zuo Wanqiu, and take down Zhaixing with Zuo Muxiu, forcing him to rescue Zuo Wanqiu and Huang Shi.
But to his disappointment, Zuo Muxiu finally chose Zhaixing.
Putting hope on an enemy you don't know.
