Chapter 163 Shadow Magic
"Master, what exactly is this place down there?" The man in black followed the old man through the heavily supervised areas. Along the way, the route engraved in his mind became more and more complicated, slowly changing from a single road to a series of intricate circles, with the roads intertwining with each other, making it a little difficult for him to remember clearly.
"Don't force yourself if you can't remember the way. You won't have the chance to walk this road again anyway." The old leader of Hedao Sect continued to walk forward with a hunched back. He looked to be in his twilight years, but the words he said made people sweat.
When the man in black heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, regardless of the fact that he was still on his way. Although he didn't know what he had done to displease the old sect master, everyone knew that working under the old sect master was like walking on thin ice.
"Eh? Why are you kneeling down? Stand up quickly, we have to hurry on!" Upon seeing this, the old sect leader hurried over to support the man in black robe, constantly comforting him.
"Old Sect Master, I have no second thoughts about the sect and will never change until I die!" The man in black robe didn't dare to stand up. The old Sect Master now gave him the feeling of a jackal, tiger or leopard. His whole body was shaking. The old Sect Master told him clearly that he would kill him after this.
"I am the leader of Hedao Sect. I will never kill innocent people. Get up!" The old leader laughed and helped the man in black robe up, as if he had no intention of killing him.
The man in black robe just stood up, wiped the sweat off his face and sighed, but the next moment his heart rose to his throat again.
"But you are committing treason and trying to guess my intentions, so you should be killed!" Then there was a snap, and the black-robed man's neck was broken. The blood in his body flowed around like a fountain, and his eyeballs fell out of their sockets and hung on his face.
The old sect leader didn't care at all. He just blew lightly and all the stains on the aisle were cleaned away. No one knew where they went.
The old sect leader continued to walk forward, turning corners countless times before he finally arrived in front of an old wooden door, just an ordinary wooden door.
"If I can find you, what would it matter if I give up the overwhelming power of this ancestral land of the gods?" The old man muttered to himself, his withered hands stroking the rough wood, his cloudy eyes looking through the unknown road...
The wooden door was not locked and could be pushed open at any time. There seemed to be wind blowing from the other side of the door, as if telling the person in front of the door to push it open, as if saying that by pushing it open, they would find everything they wanted!
The old sect leader still held back. He could not disappear before the affairs of Hedao Sect were dealt with, so he could only come here to take a look and see the hope that had troubled him for decades.
"Sometimes, seeing hope is more tormenting than complete despair. If I had never found this place, I might have brought Hedao Sect to the Holy Emperor long ago. Unfortunately..." The old sect leader recalled when he found this place. There was no door here at that time. There was only an illusory hope that made him find her.
"It's a pity that there is no time. If I don't go in and take a look, I will be really old. Holy Emperor, someone will naturally confront him in the future." Although the old sect master was unwilling, defeating the Holy Emperor and breaking through the endless time and space was the goal of everyone in the ancestral land of the gods, but for his own selfish interests, he resolutely gave up that goal.
The old sect leader had piety in his eyes. He took one last look at the wooden door, gently brushed off the dust on it, said two words to the air, and then a shadow-like thing emerged from the ground, turned into a human form, knelt on one knee, and was extremely respectful to the old sect leader.
"Watch this door for me." After saying this, the old master returned to the surface to understand the cause and effect of his life in Hedao Sect...
..........
The main hall of Hedao Sect.
"Have you dealt with the body that was just delivered?"
"Master, it's been handled." Another man in black robe stood respectfully beside the old master, but his eyes were empty and did not reveal any emotion of a living person.
"His family members must also be settled and join our Hedao Sect. They are our brothers and family members! As for the cause of death, the inner disciples of the Hedao Sect were assassinated, and he swore to protect them with his life. His merits are immeasurable. Our Hedao Sect is deeply saddened by his death. We can reward him with titles and spiritual treasures, and all his family members can join the Hedao Sect to practice. However, the dead cannot be resurrected, so I hope his family members will mourn..."
"The little one knows how to do it!"
"Go." The old sect leader waved his hand. He now only cared about the sect leader election in three days. If Mojie was elected as the sect leader of Hedao Sect and he would hand the gift to him, he wondered how happy Mojie would be.
"Moke!" The old sect leader shouted into the air again, and the shadow Moke hiding underground quickly came out. Now he had no human emotions and was only loyal to the old sect leader.
"Sir." Shadow Demon lowered his head, waiting for the old master's orders.
"From today on, you will live in Mojie's head. Remember not to damage his brain, otherwise the future of our Hedao Sect will be worrying."
The old sect leader told Shadow Magic that it was time to start implementing his plan. Even without him, the Hedao Sect could still develop in the direction he expected.
“Remember what I told you about the memory. Act it out realistically. It’s best if he thinks it’s all real!” The old sect leader’s eyes were fierce, and he finally made a seal with his hand that had been in place for a long time. The golden light pattern exuded majesty and forcibly drilled into Shadow Magic’s mind.
The Shadow Demon then sank into the ground again and disappeared.
"After all, this person is not as loyal as a dead thing!" The old sect leader coughed up a mouthful of phlegm and spat it towards the place where Mo Ke disappeared, and finally closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.
"It's late at night..."
On the other side, Nie Li and his companions said goodbye to the Space-Time Spirit Dragon and the golden egg. This time the room was really quiet and no one spoke. Even Lu Piao, who was usually the most nonchalant, shut up at the right time. They were all scared by Nie Li just now, and they didn't know how many things were on Nie Li's mind right now.
"I say, you guys wouldn't do that. I just thought something was funny. Why are you all so silent?" Nie Li pulled his thoughts out of his calculations and realized that something was wrong. He just didn't control himself. The more complete his memory became, the clearer he could see the whole chess game. The clearer he saw it, the more interesting he found it.
"Come on, Nie Li, you just acted like a madman, who among us dares to speak?" Lu Piao complained when the silence was broken.
"My my, next time I will definitely break this situation sooner."
"What? Don't be so crazy next time, okay? We can bear it, but can Goddess Ziyun and Goddess Ning'er bear it?"
"You're right, Lu Piao, you're simply a genius!"
"No wonder you two are good brothers, what nonsense!"
"Hahahaha, there are still three days left, everyone be happy. Let's go to Hedao Sect tomorrow to look around and find out the details of the election for the sect leader." Nie Li said seriously again. Everyone already knew about the future of Hedao Sect, but that didn't stop them from wanting to change that future.
Who knows whether the future can be changed? If the murderous intention of the demon can be changed, many people can be saved in the future and some good relationships can be established...
