Chapter 126 The Immortal Guhuoniao (35)

"To be able to talk about 'turning others into your own clones' so casually..."

"You, the so-called Great Xia Witch King and the ruler of the Central Plains, don't seem to be as open and benevolent as Xiao Yue described!"

With a disdainful sneer, Li Boyang's current expression of disgust and disdain was exactly like the attitude a child his age should have.

"The sovereign has never been a symbol of benevolence, and Great Xia has never been a peaceful country."

“‘Witch’ represents wisdom, ‘King’ represents power…”

"With the wisdom and ability you've demonstrated, you shouldn't have trouble understanding the true meaning behind the title 'Witch King,' right?"

Looking at the red-haired boy opposite him, the Witch King spoke in an irrefutable tone.

"Each Witch King will pass down their wisdom and power..."

“I am merely a part of the collective entity of the ‘Witch King,’ and Xiao Yue is simply an executor of my will.”

"This is the fundamental reason why the Great Xia Dynasty has been able to exist for thousands of years, and the basis upon which humans and gods can stand on equal footing..."

As he said this, the Witch King's gaze went straight past Li Boyang and landed on the pregnant woman behind him.

"You should know what she's carrying. I hope you won't stop me."

With a slight frown, Li Boyang remained motionless, standing between the Witch King and the pregnant woman.

"I don't know, so you'd better explain."

The Heavenly Mandate Bone Armor spun in his palm, and Li Boyang's tone successfully silenced the Witch King.

The Witch King, of course, did not believe that the other party would be unaware of what the pregnant woman was carrying.

But he could tell from Li Boyang's tone that the other party was being dismissive.

"The fox's true form is the 'Guhuoniao' from a thousand years ago, which is born with the supernatural power of splitting its soul and never dying."

"In the Kingdom of Qingqiu, He transformed a wisp of his soul into a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox and attempted to regain his Nine-Tailed form through the infants there."

"But His act of destroying the country alarmed the real Nine-Tailed Fox, which led to Xiao Yue's act of exterminating the wicked priest in Qingqiu Kingdom."

It was as if to prove his own words.

Suddenly, the Witch King raised his hand and pointed, and a clear bird call came from the pregnant woman's belly behind Li Boyang.

"Hey!"

Like bird calls, like fox cries...

The moment the sound came out, the pregnant woman froze on the spot, looking down at her belly in disbelief.

"Unfortunately, relying on its supernatural powers, the Guhuoniao had already divided its soul into countless parts."

“Besides Xiao Yue, there are many other officials investigating the whereabouts of His divided soul, and the fetus in this woman’s womb is one of them.”

"If we cannot eliminate it in time, more fragmented souls will appear when the fetus is born."

"They can't be killed off completely, they can't be driven out of the country..."

"This is the most troublesome thing about that Guhuoniao, and it's also the fundamental reason why we've been chasing it all this way."

After listening to the Witch King's account, Li Boyang suddenly gripped the Destiny Bone Armor in his hand and asked a question.

"I only have one question now: was this baby born as a fragment of the soul of the Guhuoniao?"

Sensing the meaning behind Li Boyang's words, the Witch King silently looked at that youthful face once again.

Although the Witch King knew that as long as he answered "yes", he would most likely be able to destroy the wisp of Guhuoniao's soul.

But given the Witch King's character and pride, he could not give such an answer against his conscience.

"No, the growth of the Guhuoniao's divided soul takes time..."

"Without external help, it would take at least ten years for the split soul to awaken the consciousness and memories of the Guhuoniao."

In this respect, the tortoise is clearly the best example.

He first gained immense life force with the help of the six-tailed fox, and then, with the power of the Yin-Yang talisman, successfully transformed into the incarnation of the Guhuoniao. "In other words, until this infant grows to ten years old, he is still himself?"

Silently gazing at Li Boyang, the Witch King did not answer his question this time.

"What you're doing is just sowing the seeds of future trouble and creating problems for your own future."

"Killing this pregnant woman now is the best option."

Nodding knowingly, Li Boyang also ignored the Witch King's advice and instead asked and answered his own question.

"Even if this child awakens the memories of the Guhuoniao, all he will get are the memories of that fox before its soul split."

"In other words, he wouldn't remember how the six-tailed fox died, and he probably wouldn't even know about the tortoise's existence..."

"Going even further, if this child can actively process those memories from the Guhuoniao before the age of ten..."

"Is it possible to make the Guhuoniao's consciousness a part of him, just like the relationship between Xiaoyue and you?"

Faced with Li Boyang's explanation, the Witch King simply asked a question in return.

"The Guhuoniao was a deity a thousand years ago, and has undergone countless reincarnations..."

"How could a child under the age of ten possibly process His memories?"

After a slight pause, the Witch King continued to explain.

"Besides, my situation with Xiao Yue is just a special case..."

"No matter how the outside world calls me or sees me, I am ultimately a human being, not a god."

"Xiao Yue has never been my alter ego. He is merely the executor of my will, the Minister of Justice who maintains the order of the Great Xia on my behalf."

"Only when he actively uses the Taotie rune can it briefly awaken the power I bestowed..."

Before the Witch King could finish speaking, Li Boyang interrupted him.

"To me, there is no difference."

"This is not the Great Xia Dynasty, this is the Hundred Mountains."

“You and Guhuoniao are both outsiders. On my territory, only my word counts.”

"No matter what I do with this fetus, you have no right to interfere."

At this point, Li Boyang glanced back at the pregnant woman who was tightly protecting her belly, and finally said in a resolute tone.

"You have two choices: leave or die."

Li Boyang's attitude left no room for doubt, which made the usually serious Witch King smile.

It was a smile that wasn't exactly friendly.

It seemed like it had been a long time since anyone had dared to defy his decisions, and the Witch King's smile was full of amusement.

"It's just a fragment of a soul; it's not that serious."

"If you can really defeat me, then you can do whatever you want with this pregnant woman."

The Witch King was telling the truth.

If Li Boyang truly demonstrated the strength that matched his tone.

The Witch King felt that even if he handed over the unborn split soul to the other party for disposal, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, the reason why the Witch King would exterminate all the incarnations of the Guhuoniao was because...

The root cause is that ordinary people simply cannot handle the harm caused by the other party.

Conversely, the Witch King was also quite curious whether Li Boyang was spouting nonsense.

"Your attitude and tone are really making me uncomfortable..."
