Boom——
The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. It was a dangerous area with many rocks and few vegetation. There was no human habitation for hundreds of miles nearby, and even birds and animals were hard to find.
Such an area seems to have few resources that can be competed for, but it is precisely because of this that it becomes the headquarters of the Demon Cult. No one wants to come except when necessary.
The strange sky was filled with dark clouds and the wind was howling.
A biting and cold feeling filled the sky, as if the entire valley was freezing.
"The Demon Lord doesn't know what to think, but he actually set up the main altar in such a deserted place. Isn't it to cause trouble for himself?" A famous Demon Cult disciple muttered while walking on the road.
The man in black in front replied: "Although this place is desolate, it is safe and there is no need to worry about being attacked."
"Staying here, there is no chance to take action. If I were the Demon Lord, I should occupy a fertile land and build a Demon Palace, such as the Tianling Holy Land. It not only has abundant spiritual veins that transform into dragons, but also has thousands of purple qi caves. It’s even more fertile land!”
"Boy, you put it lightly. Is Tianling Holy Land easy to mess with? The contemporary Holy Lord Tianling is world-famous. He once single-handedly suppressed the previous Demon Lord. He is so powerful and terrifying!"
Another demon sect disciple glared at the guy just now and said, "Besides, the demon sect's foundation is still shallow now, how dare you provoke Holy Lord Tianling?"
"I know, I know." He waved his hand and asked curiously: "What is the strength of the current generation of demon lords? The previous demon lord came to power inexplicably after being suppressed and has never shown up."
"I don't know, maybe only the saint has seen her."
That man was also very puzzled.
Logically speaking, the strong are respected, but even so, they should show up a few times and take action to intimidate. However, even if the current Demon Lord does not do these things, he is still famous.
In the cave at the back, a vague demonic aura filled the air.
There is a curved square built on the mountainside, engraved with ancient inscriptions, which have obviously gone through thousands of years. Looking from a distance, the dry and cracked land looks like it has been chopped down by axes.
Barren and withered, without any vitality.
Walk to the edge of the arc square.
The demon sect disciple in front looked back at the two of them and said, "It's time to leave. Wait until Plague City, when you will take action. If it's later, it will be difficult to wait for the right way to get there."
"Plague City..."
The demon sect disciple who had been asking had a flash of excitement in his eyes. This was the first time he had shown his face in recent years.
The other demon sects are still at large, but their demon sect is the only one hiding here. They are obviously the number one force in the demon sect, which is a grievance!
Today, I finally have the opportunity to go out and slaughter the city with my own hands. The opportunity is rare, and it is even rarer for the contemporary demon lord to give the opportunity.
.........
At this moment, Tianling's outer sect's "Feng Yun Ce" suddenly updated the news. It described various states and anecdotes. Relatively speaking, they were serious events.
Among them, the most important news is that a malady is prevalent in a distant city. It is caused by a different kind of strange energy between heaven and earth. It is transmitted from one to another. Countless people die day and night. There is no rooster crow for thousands of miles. Countless monsters have migrated to various places, causing harm on the way. countless......
The eyes cannot bear to see and the ears cannot bear to hear.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunyi originally thought it was the work of the Demon Cult. After all, the Demon Cult's demons are best at creating disasters, killing innocent people and using their flesh and blood to improve their cultivation.
But Lu Ningshuang told him that was not the case.
The result of the subsequent incident was just as Lu Ningshuang said. The cause was an eternal monster that died in a catastrophe, its soul was wiped out, and the body left behind was the cause.
"Soul Transformation Tribulation?" Jiang Yunyi was surprised.
The state of transformation into gods is divided into three stages: bone transformation, blood transformation, and soul transformation. Each stage will be baptized by thunder.
If you successfully survive the final catastrophe of soul transformation, you can enter the state of returning to nature where you can control the avenue. From then on, you can travel freely in the world, mobilize the laws of heaven and earth, and double your lifespan.
"Yeah." Lu Ningshuang responded lightly.
"But an eternal monster is full of treasures, how can it be that no one robs it?" Jiang Yunyi was puzzled.
Every bone, drop of blood, and inch of skin of the corpse of such a being is a rare thing, and the whole body is full of essence!
He can refine weapons, alchemy, and make clothes, just like going back to primitive times, relying on materials obtained from wild beasts to make various items.
Lu Ningshuang glanced at him intentionally and said softly: "Maybe they can't take it away, just like you turned into a corpse."
Jiang Yunyi naturally understood the meaning of these words, but he was not a monster. After death, could he still be robbed by all forces?
Moreover, during his lifetime, he had no confidante, no brothers or sisters, and no children. Even if he knew some people, Lu Ningshuang would naturally recognize them, but he did not have much contact with them.
Even if there is, it is just a nod of acquaintance.
Most of the reasons were due to Lu Ningshuang's temperament that made her resist people thousands of miles away.
"Don't act as if after I die, someone will come to save me. If you hadn't placed me in an ice coffin and let the years go by, and finally buried me, who would have remembered that I ever existed."
Jiang Yunyi laughed to himself.
Now, in his opinion, only the three junior brothers and sisters in Tianling Holy Land still remember him, but they are probably half buried in the dust.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ningshuang said again: "Besides, who dares to take it away? It's too long to live."
Although his body is worthless, but...
Jiang Yunyi was silent for a long time and then said: "You are quite good at bragging."
"fine."
At the same time, the notices in the city have also been updated, but they are not as detailed as 'Feng Yunce', and most of them are biased towards gossip and entertainment news.
For example, which family's young master is handsome but elegant and scumbag, which family's girl is shy but is a promiscuous woman, which family's master is seduced by a certain brothel girl and wants to take her as a concubine...
The list goes on and on.
Qin Xiaoyu really likes reading these gossips. You must know that the inner sect is full of serious intelligence incidents of the righteous demon sect, and gossips no longer exist.
So it felt very novel.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that someone would have their engagement annulled so far, and even threaten to become the holy son of our Tianling Holy Land in the future." Qin Xiaoyu covered her mouth and chuckled.
Tianling Holy Land has long become a fairy gate recognized by the world.
It has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless disciples in the Holy Land. Among them, there are those with outstanding talents, and even sit in the sect. Even if it has been in decline for a period of time, it is just a thing of the past now.
Yunshuang City is under the jurisdiction of Tian Ling again. The fathers of every household in the city, or the casual cultivators who come here because of its fame, are proud to worship in Tian Ling's Holy Land.
Lord Jianjiu on the side was also reading intently.
"Sister Qin, Senior Brother Jian, what's so good about this?"
When Lei Qiyuan saw Jian Jiujun also following him, he immediately came over in confusion.
"There are actually things about the teacher written on it, such as searching for spiritual beasts in the city, collecting mineral crystals, helping to transport goods... The teacher has done so many things in a short time, which is amazing." Jian Jiujun admired, thinking that Jiang Yunyi was In realizing the ordinary mind.
After all, re-cultivators are already experienced in cultivation. They only need to make slight modifications according to the memories of previous lives, and do not need to spend too much time practicing.
"Junior Brother Lei, here are some summaries of delicious restaurants." Jian Jiujun pointed to the side.
"Really!? Let me see."
Lei Qiyuan suddenly became interested.
After watching for a long time, the leading disciple and his companions brought some handsome horses. Seeing this scene, they still had to say: "Um... everyone, it's time to go."
The leading disciple has the strength to reach the late stage of the Spiritual Realm. He is a rare genius in the outer sect. He is also leading the team this time. His name is Wu Hai and he is a disciple of a certain elder.
Perhaps it was a deterrent to other outer disciples, but facing Jiang Yunyi and others, it seemed a little pale.
"Oh, here we come."
Hearing Wu Hai's words, Jiang Yunyi responded to the "Feng Yun Ce" in the outer door and pulled Lu Ningshuang over.
Lu Ningshuang didn't look anxious at all, but Jiang Yunyi was different. He was the kind of person who didn't want others to wait for him longer. If he had an appointment in advance, he would arrive on time.
Of course, the best thing is called punctuality, and the bad thing is called punctuality.
Wu Hai and other Tianling outer sect disciples were relieved to see Jiang Yunyi being so talkative. They heard that this person had a close relationship with the inner sect, so they were afraid that he was some arrogant person.
Although they have never seen the inner disciples...
"Huh? Are we going to rely on these spiritual beasts?"
With Jiang Yunyi taking the lead, Qin Xiaoyu and others also hurried over from the bulletin board not far away.
Qin Xiaoyu was full of curiosity when he saw Lingju.
The head is thin, the neck is high, there are small horns, and the body is graceful and powerful.
However, she could tell at a glance that it was a mixed breed. After all, the pure-blood spirit horse resembled a dragon and had scales, and could ride on the wind and clouds. This spirit horse only had lin claws, but it also attracted attention in the mortal world.
"Well, this spirit horse is specially bred by the sect for disciples to use as transportation. It is fast and has sufficient endurance. Although it is not as good as the real rare and exotic animals, it is better because it is easier to cultivate."
Wu Hai answered and explained: "The spirit horses are divided into different grades. The lowest is the red spirit horse, and the highest is the green gold spirit horse. It has a strong body, can run like the wind, and can reach a thousand miles in half a day."
Jiang Yunyi took a look.
There were three people on Wu Hai's side and five people on their side. However, they only brought six spirit horses, which was obviously not enough.
But it's okay to make do.
He was thinking.
Suddenly, a cold wind passed by, and Lu Ningshuang walked out from his side. She was very charming, wearing a black outfit that outlined her perfect figure. She stepped forward lightly and swept forward.
Pulling the reins and leaping up, Lu Ningshuang easily mounted one of the spirit horses. Lu Ningshuang looked at Jiang Yunyi with a sideways look, reaching out to him and lightly opening her red lips: "Come up."
The tone was calm, but there was a hint of majesty.
It was the first time that Wu Hai and others heard her speak. It sounded like clear spring water, but also like ice cubes under a cold pool. The inexplicable coldness made people shiver.
If it weren't for the sunshine, everyone would feel that the temperature here had dropped sharply and it had become an ice cave.
However, Jiang Yunyi did not move.
However, Qin Xiaoyu seemed to have expected this. She covered her mouth and snickered from behind: "Oh my, we are really inseparable. Teacher, you should just obey."
It's a pity that Jiang Yunyi couldn't escape her ears. He glanced at her and realized that this girl has become bolder recently!
He suddenly said abruptly: "Qin Xiaoyu, she's calling you, why don't you get on your horse?"
After all, Lu Ningshuang didn't mention her by name.
"ah?"
Qin Xiaoyu, who was suddenly called by name, was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lu Ningshuang slowly cast his gaze, his eyes turned cold, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly climbed onto the other spirit horse with his short legs.
She adjusted her sitting position, curled her lips, and muttered: "I, I can't hear you."
Then Jian Jiujun and Lei Qiyuan rode a spirit horse together. As long as they were not targeted by Lu Ningshuang, everything would be easy.
Wu Hai and the three of them also rode on their own spiritual steeds in tacit understanding, and turned away to look into the distance. Their instinct and awe of death made them dare not look further.
Jiang Yunyi secretly sighed at the exaggeration when he saw this, but quickly recalled the scenes brought about by Lu Ningshuang, and felt the icy coldness again and again, and suddenly felt it was reasonable.
He looked up at Lu Ningshuang, her hair fluttering slightly, and her graceful face showed no emotion at all. Her cold and arrogant eyes made her look a little lonely.
"Move over."
Unfortunately, Jiang Yunyi took it for granted and waved her hand to let her lean forward. Then she got on the horse and wrapped her arms around Lu Ningshuang's slender waist and pulled the reins.
He then raised his head and said proudly: "Don't try to take advantage."
He naturally understood that Lu Ningshuang wanted to sit in the front, so he chose the back without hesitation.
At this moment, Lu Ningshuang only needed to lean back slightly to have her delicate body in her arms, but Lu Ningshuang didn't seem to do this, or had no idea at all.
Whether it was before or now.
Compared with her own passivity, Lu Ningshuang now feels that she is more active and feels the beating of her heart. Even though it is weak, it is so vivid and real every time.
"As long as you are happy." Lu Ningshuang said calmly.
Jiang Yunyi was dissatisfied with her answer.
Every time she flirted with him indifferently, it made him feel itchy and lose his temper. But when it was his turn, Lu Ningshuang was still the same Lu Ningshuang with a cold look, which made him itchy with hatred.
Although she is not good at words, she is so smart, how could she not know what Jiang Yunyi is thinking.
"Want a hug?"
After hearing what she said, Jiang Yunyi, who had this intention, immediately killed the idea.
"No! Let's go!"
"oh."
The simple words made Jiang Yunyi return to his old ways.
On the spirit horse, Jiang Yunyi held the reins with one hand, hugged Lu Ningshuang's waist with the other, and gently clamped the horse's belly with his feet, steadying it, and headed out of the city without saying anything.
.......
Lingju was walking on the flat road, and the single scenery around him was constantly being left behind. Only Lu Ningshuang's eyes always fell on the face of Jiang Yunyi beside him.
Because he is sleepy...
Not so long ago.
After riding the spirit horse out of the city, Jiang Yunyi discovered a problem, that is, because he was half a head shorter than Lu Ningshuang, sitting on the back of the spirit horse seemed a bit awkward.
Not to mention that Lu Ningshuang's sitting posture was so upright, noble and elegant, completely blocking his sight.
Jiang Yunyi could only tilt his head slightly. Lu Ningshuang's delicately carved face was right at his doorstep, and he unconsciously became cautious about breathing.
Finally he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Lu Ningshuang, can you lean to the side or back?"
"Why?"
Jiang Yunyi said with a dark face: "I can't see the road, I'm tired with my head tilted."
"Then let it go, I'll give you my shoulder."
The intention was undoubtedly to let him put his head on her shoulder.
"I?"
"Um."
"You are in front now, shouldn't you be leaning on me?"
"It's you who feel uncomfortable, not me."
"..."
Lu Ningshuang used hard and soft tactics, so Jiang Yunyi decided to endure it and let it pass. As time went by, the road became smooth again, surrounded by tired green trees...
In fact, Lu Ningshuang's quiet scent entered his nose, relieving long-term fatigue and bringing about a calming effect. This tranquility did not last long before Jiang Yunyi became sleepy.
I don’t know if it’s an old problem since I was a freshman, or if I’m just really sleepy.
Gradually, as Jiang Yunyi couldn't help but lean on her shoulder, Lingju also stopped when he relaxed, and Lu Ningshuang landed on the ground and hugged Jiang Yunyi down.
"Catch them yourself."
Lingju: "?"
"has a problem?"
Lu Ningshuang's cold eyes glanced at Lingju, and under her "instruction", she still ran galloping, not daring to stay too long for fear of offending Lu Ningshuang.
But Lu Ningshuang obviously didn't pay attention to Lingju. Instead, she lowered her eyes and looked at Jiang Yunyi's defenseless appearance. She tightened her embrace and trapped him.
He fell asleep....in his arms.
........
Qin Xiaoyu and others have stopped and waited in front.
Until they saw the unrided spirit horse, they looked at each other and realized something was wrong.
Um?
No one left?
Wu Hai asked respectfully: "Do you need to wait any longer?"
It was clear that Qin Xiaoyu and the others were younger, but they still asked in a respectful tone unconsciously.
"No, no, Holy...Master's wife doesn't like to go with other people, so we can leave first. Anyway, Teacher and Master's wife will definitely arrive at Dongjiang before us."
How could Qin Xiaoyu not understand this.
Jian Jiujun and Lei Qiyuan nodded in agreement, saying that there was no problem. Wu Hai and the other three relaxed and drove the spirit horse towards the Dongjiang River.
