Chapter 829: Demon Heart Painted Skin Plots Dragon City

"Moon Demon Painted Skin is a supreme magic in the demonic path. These demons can initially refine this, they must be figures who have obtained the true transmission of the demonic path."

True Person Zong'ai looked solemn, spreading out that scroll of painted skin.

The eyebrows and eyes were lifelike, and even the aura, cultivation, and malevolent Qi were left on the human body, making people feel cold.

"If it is truly that Great Heavenly Demon's move... Wuchuanzhen is in danger!"

Tuoba Tao stood up and said: "We must rescue Wuchuan!"

"Sit down!" Old Madam Tuoba said in a deep voice: "Where is your place to speak here?"

"Alas! Old Madam, since the nephew has ideas, let him speak!"

The supervisor sent by the Cao family took a sip of tea and said faintly: "If Little Murong Chui really makes a move this time, we need to rely on you young people. Young people have ideas, so feel free to speak!"

"Rely on them?"

Old Madam Tuoba said coldly: "Their generation hasn't even seen what kind of hero Little Murong Chui is. This isn't cultivation, this is sending these young people to their deaths!"

Old Madam came to the human skin with a cane, staring at the skin that was smooth and greasy, like a living person, and said: "When the human skin was peeled off alive, it was peeled off together with the human phase. Even a high monk with profound Buddhist law couldn't see the clues! But the demon who replaced it is only a mere life-bound... It can be seen that the peeler is someone else!"

"In the human skin, not only his cultivation and malevolent Qi, but even his memories were left in the human skin..."

"This kind of method is only a little bit away from the highest realm of the 'Moon Demon Painted Skin Sutra'—Moon Demon Stealing Life!"

"Moon Demon Stealing Life?" True Person Zong'ai asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

"Moon Demon Painted Skin steals the life of ghosts and gods to deceive the heavens and longevity! After attaining the Painted Skin Dao fruit, those who practice this path in the world can borrow a trace of the Painted Skin Dao fruit to peel off the human skin together with its life number and longevity!"

"A demon with this kind of cultivation is only one step away from the Primordial Spirit... If he is not the mastermind this time, then it is truly..."

Old Madam Tuoba's expression was solemn, and when her voice fell, the whole tent was silent.

Tuoba Tao said word by word: "No matter what, Wuchuanzhen must be saved!"

The Cao family supervisor looked at Tuoba Tao with interest and said: "Moon Demon Painted Skin is so subtle, but I don't know how the nephew saw through it?"

Tuoba Tao's expression moved slightly, wanting to hide Heita's existence: "It's just that this demon is ultimately unfamiliar with the style of the army. Our Military family cultivators are one with the formation, moving with the formation, which made this demon reveal his flaws..."

The Cao family supervisor said solemnly: "This time the demon cut off the communication of the Liuzhen, making us blind and deaf. True Person Zong'ai has already contacted the town-guarding True Person in Wuchuanzhen with secret arts, but there is no news. In such a critical situation, if the army rescues Wuchuan, we have no eyes and ears!"

"Once we are surrounded and attacked, I'm afraid the rescue will fail, and Huairen Town will also be lost!"

"What about the other towns?" Tuoba Tao asked.

"There is no news either... I'm afraid our contact has been cut off! Even the flying cavalry sent out, only dozens of miles away, disappeared without a trace."

The Cao family supervisor sighed: "Using troops so deeply, it truly has the shadow of Little Murong Chui."

"So we must break through the contact with the other five towns before he tears open Wuchuan and completely cuts off the connection of the Liuzhen, before he tears through the northern frontier formation!" Tuoba Tao continued.

The Cao family supervisor sighed: "I know this is a time of survival, and all parties should work together and be frank, but the problem is—who will go?"

"I will go!" Tuoba Tao said decisively.

Old Madam Tuoba's face turned green, and she said coldly: "You go? Do you know that if Little Murong Chui really comes, it can only be said that he has found that spiritual treasure in the past thousand years and re-refined the demon army! Since he cut off the connection of the Liuzhen, he will definitely guard against people breaking through the pulse. If you take many people out, you will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the army. If there are few people, there will also be demons intercepting... Can you bear such a great responsibility?"

"Why not ask, why don't the many Yang Spirit True Persons dare to go out?"

True Person Zong'ai coughed and explained: "It's not that we are timid, but relying on the city formation, if Little Murong Chui attacks the city, we still have the power to fight. But if we leave the city, encountering Little Murong Chui is ten deaths and no life!"

Old Madam sneered: "You can sit in the majestic city and fight against the Primordial Spirit because the Liuzhen are lined up in the northern frontier, and the northern frontier formation established since the Immortal Qin has been repaired for thousands of years! If Wuchuan is broken, the formation will be damaged, and the Liuzhen will sooner or later fall one by one."

"There is no news from Chang'an!" True Person Zong'ai said solemnly: "If we hold on until the Primordial Spirit True Immortal comes to rescue, there will be a turning point!"

"Little Murong Chui doesn't move unless he has to. Once he moves, he will definitely collude with the northern frontier demon department and the Rouran army. Now he is holding back, I'm afraid the allied forces of demons, Hu, and the three parties have not arrived yet. Once everything is ready, Wuchuanzhen is broken, and the three allied forces jump south, even if the Primordial Spirit True Immortal arrives, what can he do?"

"Half of the northern territory will fall, and millions of people will become food for demons!"

"Is the chaos of the sixteen northern tribes in the past going to be repeated?"

Everyone looked sideways when they heard this—wasn't the chaos of the sixteen northern tribes in the past caused by your Tuoba department entering the pass?

"Tuoba Tao, we will give you full support to open the road to Wuchuan and other military towns!" True Person Zong'ai said: "I don't care what method you use, as long as you can establish contact with other towns, it is a great achievement!"

"Subordinate obeys!" Tuoba Tao arched his hands and said.

The argument in the tent ended. Old Madam Tuoba's expression was solemn, and she said to the maid beside her: "Invite that little master over! I want to discuss Buddhist law with him..."

The maid was stunned. Now? Discuss Buddhist law?

But she still nodded and retreated, and after a while, she led Brother Qian Chen into the tent.

As soon as Old Madam Tuoba saw Brother Qian Chen, she dismissed everyone and said: "If Little Murong Chui makes a move to attack, what does the Master have to deal with it?"

Brother Qian Chen said faintly: "What you should consider is, don't scare him away!"

Old Madam Tuoba looked bitter and said: "The Master is indeed a true immortal. It's just that you came here at the time of our Liuzhen' crisis. What is your intention?"

"Since the chaos in the north was settled and the imperial court moved the capital to Chang'an, the Guanzhong situation is prosperous and can be firmly defended. The Liuzhen of the northern frontier, which have spent countless resources, have gradually only been able to defend against the northern demons and Rouran!"

"The two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang firmly defend Guandong and Guanzhong, which is the heartland of our Great Wei."

"Our Liuzhen of the northern frontier are now unloved by grandparents and unloved by grandmothers. If it were still the time when military armor was sufficient and the arsenal was complete, why would we fear Little Murong Chui's demon army?"

"But now, look at the military appearance of the Military family disciples in the town, but there are no horses, no armor, no weapons, no arrows. The various weapons and materials are actually empty! Not to mention the continuous war, even a big battle requires the flesh and blood of our disciples to fill!"

Brother Qian Chen said calmly: "Isn't there still the imperial court?"

"The imperial court will not come to save us!"

Old Madam Tuoba said faintly: "The public has long felt impatient with us borrowing the excuse of the northern frontier demon department's invasion to ask for grain and military armor."

"These years, the materials in the northern frontier have been empty, but it is because Chang'an and Luoyang are rebuilding the forbidden army. They probably wish we would fight Little Murong Chui and the demon department to both lose, and then they would press on and clean up the hidden dangers of the Liuzhen together!"

"But we are just to maintain the cultivation of these children!"

"If the Military seeds of this generation of the Liuzhen are finished! Do they really think they can resist the northern demon army and the demon department? Military seeds are difficult to inherit. They have never been piled up with high officials and generous salaries or cultivation resources. They need to bathe in the blood of the battlefield and fight with one knife and one spear!"

"Guanzhong and Guandong have many majestic passes and formations to guard, but because of this, how much blood can the forbidden army there see?"

"Can they have the ferocity of our Liuzhen' children, who have been riding on the grasslands since they were ten years old, plundering the Rouran Hu tribes, and hunting the Yinshan group of demons to hone themselves?"

Brother Qian Chen was silent—look, the reason why Rouran and the northern frontier demon department want to join forces with Little Murong Chui, isn't it just coming out?

"The army of the Liuzhen is mixed with Hebei Han surnames, Xianbei various Hu, and even a part of your Han surname great clans. The Cao family has always been more wary than reliant... Now the military armor of the Liuzhen is empty, but the younger generation has not yet grown up. Putting them into a big battle now is to use the lives of this generation of children to consume and drag!"

"The Master came here, probably looking at these people..."

Brother Qian Chen raised his head slightly, staring at this Old Madam, and found that she was the one hidden deepest in Huairen Town.

"The eternal demon robbery is coming... If it weren't for this, Little Murong Chui wouldn't have come with all his thousand-year accumulation!"

Old Madam Tuoba said faintly: "In the demon robbery, the military disaster is the most severe. In the world, if there is still a place where a strong army can be practiced, it is only the Liuzhen!"

"Master, no matter where you are, what can be plotted in our Liuzhen, the old woman knows it clearly!"

Brother Qian Chen said slowly: "However, the General's grandson seems to have taken a fancy to this batch of foundation..."

"He has no time!" Old Madam Tuoba said decisively.

"Master can say now, whose plot are you..."

Brother Qian Chen said indifferently: "Longxi Li family!"

Old Madam Tuoba took a deep breath, looked at Brother Qian Chen deeply, and said: "You are actually... No wonder! I remember there is a concubine son of the Li family in Wuchuanzhen."

"Not necessarily him!"

Brother Qian Chen said indifferently: "I can take action against Little Murong Chui, but this big battle is also a rare opportunity to hone them."

The two talked for a few sentences and established a silent tacit understanding. Brother Qian Chen looked at the human skin beside him and said faintly: "Good craftsmanship..."

Comparable to the Yaksha skin I peeled off back then!

Brother Qian Chen swallowed this half sentence back into his stomach.

He turned to look at Old Madam Tuoba and smiled: "It's just a pity, compared to you, Madam, it's still a bit worse!"

Old Madam Tuoba raised her head calmly, looked at Brother Qian Chen, and said faintly: "This Moon Demon is at least at the Yang Spirit level, and I am just a mere Yin Spirit small cultivator..."

"That's why it's even more rare!"

"That Moon Demon only knows how to peel off other people's skin, nothing more than stealing other people's memories, identity, appearance, etc. But the true Painted Skin Dao, what should be peeled off is one's own skin! Peel off all kinds of wealth, honor, sorrow, joy, and even fate, and turn them into a skin bag to wrap oneself. And the true heart is hidden deep, not exposed to the outside. Isn't this also a kind of 'Painted Skin'?"

"And this is the true 'Painted Skin Demon'!"

Old Madam Tuoba smiled slightly, then laughed loudly, her old voice turning charming: "The yellow mud body monk laughs at the Moon Demon skin old woman, all are a stinking skin bag? True or false, what does it matter."

"I have experienced countless sorrows and joys in the first half of my life. What about wealth, honor, and beautiful appearance? Even the phoenix fate of heaven cannot resist other people's change of heart. All kinds of things are separated from the true heart, and the skin bag that has been shed is depicted on the skin one by one. If the painted skin does not fall, what is the difference between whether this skin bag is true or false?"

"It's the Master, the person who can see through my Buddha skin and demon heart at a glance must also be a giant of the demonic path!"

"Does the Master want to see me?" Old Madam Tuoba's voice became like soul-hooking.

This great power, who also cultivated the Moon Demon path, forcibly separated his own skin from his first half of life from his original heart, and then painted them one by one. Whether it was old age, betrayal, Buddha-Dharma, or various things afterward, they were all just paintings.

This is 'Painted Skin'!

And her true heart was hidden within the skin bag, cultivating another Dharma body.

Painted Skin is one body, as Buddha!

Demon Heart is one body, as Demon!

Only then could she see through Brother Qian Chen's infinite karma and the demonic nature that was burning in the midst of the six great divine abilities.

Both were Buddha bones, demon hearts, and stinking skin bags. This meeting was a wonderful coincidence in the demonic path.

Brother Qian Chen closed his eyes, but saw Old Madam Tuoba break free from the skin bag, a peerlessly beautiful woman emerged from the old skin bag, manifested a strike, and printed it on Brother Qian Chen's heart—Demon Heart Seal!

The seeking demon knife slightly unsheathed in Brother Qian Chen's heart.

Old Madam Tuoba instantly escaped back into the skin bag, turning into Old Madam Tuoba...

She sat down honestly and dared not reveal her demon heart again.

Because this existence in front of her, truly revealing her demonic nature, was like a bottomless abyss giant mouth...

"Nine Heavens Demon Heart Sect..." Brother Qian Chen said slowly: "The skin bag is Moon Demon Painted Skin, but the true heart is Demon Heart like madness. One outside and one inside, both become Yin Spirit. As long as you cultivate the demon heart into a formless divine demon, you can become a Yang Spirit of the demonic path."

"It seems that the Tuoba family is not only supported by the Buddhist sect!"

Old Madam Tuoba smiled slightly, and her old voice sighed: "The Old Empress Dowager finally refined the demon bone with a Buddha heart. When she caused the death of Cao Lin in the past, she fell into great sorrow and guilt, entering the demon from the Buddha."

"But after all, these two people still loved each other! The backhand left by Cao Lin allowed her to attain the Primordial Spirit, but it also made her swear that the Tuoba family could not usurp the Cao family's position no matter what."

"Only then could our two families barely get along..."

"But I didn't have such good luck! That heartless man in the past really wanted to kill me, and it was also by me that I forced him to death with my own hands!"

"After me, the Cao family completely tore their faces and guarded against my Tuoba family."

"Hahaha... The skin bag he prepared for that demon sect saintess in the past was finally refined by others. It's just that the Moon Demon was not someone else, but me. He thought that the demon sect woman was wearing my skin bag, but he didn't know it was my heart that replaced that woman's demon heart."

"When the last knife was stabbed in the back, his expression... was truly wonderful!"

Old Madam Tuoba's laughter fell, and finally she said calmly: "The Liuzhen' good families, I can give them to you. But you also have to help me with one thing..."

"What?"

"Help me win the spiritual treasure in Little Murong Chui's hands that can support him to rise again after a thousand years."

"He lost this treasure at Canhe Slope in the past. After thousands of years, he rolled back, it must be because this treasure has returned to his hands!" Old Madam Tuoba calmly described a great ambition that would only be mocked as arrogant if spoken out.

As a spiritual treasure, when is it something that can be coveted by someone below the Primordial Spirit?

Brother Qian Chen's expression moved, but he said: "You want the holy object passed down for countless generations among the Xiongnu and Northern Hu—Dragon City?" ===== CHAPTER 830 =====
