Chapter 166 Xuanyuan Tomb 3 Demons
In front of Xuanyuan Tomb.
The night was as dark as ink and so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard in the distance.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light streaked across the sky, like a falling meteor, and headed straight towards Xuanyuan Tomb.
After the white light dissipated, a figure gradually emerged. It was Shen Gongbao who came from the distant Jiulong Island.
Shen Gongbao looked around and saw evil spirits everywhere, and he frowned slightly.
"This Xuanyuan Tomb is the mausoleum of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi after his death. Now it is occupied by these three monsters, and the surrounding area is full of evil spirits."
His voice echoed in the empty night, sounding exceptionally clear.
However, there was no response from all around, only the sound of wind blowing through the treetops and the occasional chirping of insects in the distance.
Shen Gongbao looked around again, and his gaze finally fixed on the Xuanyuan Tomb shrouded in evil spirit.
He took a deep breath, waved his hands, and a bright light instantly shot out from his fingertips, like lightning cutting through the night sky and hitting Xuanyuan's tomb.
As the flowing light dissipated, a strange whirlwind seemed to be stirred up in the Xuanyuan Tomb, and then three figures flashed out from it like phantoms.
They have graceful figures and are dressed in gorgeous dresses, whose hems flutter gently in the night breeze, like blooming flowers in the night.
Their faces were extremely charming, and their eyes flashed with cunning and cruelty. They were none other than the three demons that occupied Xuanyuan Tomb.
As soon as the three monsters appeared, they immediately felt a strong sense of oppression, which came from the powerful aura emanating from Shen Gongbao.
Although they had not yet seen the face of the person who came, they knew from his aura that he was no ordinary person.
The demon girl in white, as the leader of the three demons, frowned, stared at Shen Gongbao with a sharp gaze, and shouted:
"Who are you, and how dare you trespass into the sacred place of Xuanyuan Tomb? Tell us your name immediately, or else don't blame me for being rude!"
When Shen Gongbao heard her scolding, a sneer appeared on his lips.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes as sharp as a knife swept across the three demons, and spoke coldly:
"Take a closer look, who am I?"
As Shen Gongbao's voice fell, his aura rose again, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire Xuanyuan Tomb.
Under this pressure, the three demons suddenly felt suffocated, as if they were being pressed down by an invisible mountain and unable to breathe.
As the leader of the three demons, the white-clad demon was filled with fear in her heart, but she tried to remain calm on her face.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, then looked up and carefully examined Shen Gongbao in front of her.
A hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the white-robed witch. She recognized the identity of the person in front of her and asked in a trembling voice:
"You...you are Master Shen?"
Shen Gongbao nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the three monsters as sharp as a knife, and he spoke coldly:
"Otherwise? Besides me, who else would come to this place filled with evil spirits and thin spiritual energy?"
Upon hearing this, the white-robed demon girl hurriedly took the other two demon girls beside her and stepped forward and knelt in front of Shen Gongbao.
"I didn't know that Taoist Shen was here. I'm sorry for offending you. I hope you won't take it to heart."
There was a hint of panic and trembling in the voice of the white-clad banshee, as weak as a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
Shen Gongbao nodded slightly, his voice still cold and majestic, as if it could penetrate people's souls:
"Alright, alright, get up! I didn't come here today to argue with you about these trivial matters."
After hearing what Shen Gongbao said, the three demons felt a little relieved, but still did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
They stood up carefully, lowered their heads, and waited for Shen Gongbao's next instructions.
Shen Gongbao looked at the cautious look of the three monsters and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
He cleared his throat, and his voice echoed in the night, carrying a certain majesty and unquestionable tone:
"I came here today because I have something to discuss with you."
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
The three demons raised their heads, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, but then they became respectful and obedient.
They knew that no matter what Shen Gongbao wanted to ask them, they had to do their best to show their sincerity.
As the leader of the three demons, the demon in white took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then replied respectfully:
"Master, please tell me. We little demons will try our best."
Shen Gongbao nodded, looked at the three monsters with satisfaction, and said slowly:
"Don't be so nervous. I came here to give you a rare opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the three demons looked up at Shen Gongbao, their eyes flashing with anticipation and curiosity.
Shen Gongbao smiled, his eyes sharp, and continued:
"You know that in Xiqi, there was a strange phenomenon, purple air came from the east, and a phoenix sang in Qishan."
When the three demons heard Shen Gongbao's words, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes and they all nodded.
Although they have lived in Xuanyuanfen for a long time, they occasionally hear news from the outside world.
The white-robed female demon, as the leader of the three demons, bowed slightly and responded respectfully:
"Although I have never left Xuanyuan Tomb, I have heard the saying 'The Phoenix sings at Mount Qishan, the Holy Lord has appeared'. I just don't know how this is related to the 'good fortune' you mentioned, Taoist priest?"
Shen Gongbao raised his lips with a hint of deep meaning, and said in a deep voice:
"You know, this so-called 'Phoenix Crying in Qishan' is a false image. Someone is so bold and reckless that he dared to use the name of Goddess Nuwa to create a fake Phoenix Cry in order to stir up war in the world."
The three demons were shocked when they heard this. Although they had lived in Xuanyuan Tomb for a long time, Nuwa had an extremely high status in the demon clan's hearts.
Now, someone actually dared to impersonate the goddess Nuwa and create such a fake phoenix cry. This is simply a blasphemy to the goddess!
As the leader of the three demons, the white-robed demon calmed herself down and spoke respectfully:
"Master Shen, who on earth did this? Why did they do this?"
Shen Gongbao nodded slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes:
"The person behind this is plotting something evil, and wants to use the power of war in the world to achieve his own ulterior motives."
"When Lady Nuwa learned about this, she was furious. She cared about the people of the world, so she asked me to find the demons and go to Xiqi to stop the war from breaking out."
After hearing this, the three demons all looked solemn.
They knew that since Shen Gongbao had approached them, he wanted them to participate.
Then, the white-robed female demon, as the leader of the three demons, took the lead and stepped forward to ask Shen Gongbao respectfully:
"Master Shen, although we are not talented, we are willing to do our best for the Goddess Nuwa. How do you want us to act?"
Shen Gongbao nodded slightly, with admiration flashing in his eyes. Seeing that the three monsters were so tactful, he nodded with satisfaction.
Then he gave them more detailed instructions:
"You don't need to be too ostentatious on this trip. You just need to sneak into Xiqi subtly and create some internal strife so that Xiqi will be too busy to take care of other things.
"The purpose is to let the people see Xiqi's weakness and chaos, so as to shake their confidence in Xiqi and make them believe that Xiqi is not a truly wise leader."
He paused for a moment and continued:
"When the time comes, I will report to Goddess Nuwa and ask for merit for you. By then, you will have the opportunity to achieve the right result and embark on a higher path of cultivation."
After hearing this, the three demons showed excitement and anticipation on their faces.
"Master Shen, rest assured. The three little demon sisters will complete the task according to your instructions. Thank you for guiding the little demons." The white-clothed demon girl said gratefully.
Shen Gongbao looked at the three demons' excited and expectant expressions, and his heart was filled with emotion. He thought to himself:
"They are really little demons who have never seen the world. I originally thought that I would have to use some persuasion, or even some tricks, to make them willingly accept this task."
"I didn't expect that I could easily convince them with just a few simple words."
He smiled slightly, and in that smile he showed both admiration for the three demons and affirmation of his own wisdom.
Shen Gongbao gently waved his hand, indicating that the three demons did not need to be too restrained, and then said solemnly:
"You're welcome. The reason I gave you this opportunity is because I saw that you practiced diligently and sincerely. So, please don't let me down."
Upon hearing this, the three demons showed a more determined look on their faces.
"Master Shen, rest assured. We will do our best to complete your instructions."
Seeing this, Shen Gongbao nodded with satisfaction. He stroked his beard and said slowly:
"In that case, you should set off immediately. The sooner you complete the mission, the sooner you can return."
His words were full of encouragement and expectation, which made the three demons feel extremely warm and excited.
They bowed deeply, then turned into a stream of light and left, their figures disappearing on the spot.
Shen Gongbao watched them leave with a meaningful expression on his face.
