Huanglong Mountains.
The three great sword masters gathered in Sleeping Dragon Valley, along with Taoist Xuan Ling and the Tribulation Immortals of Zi Huang and Jade Sage.
After waiting for many days, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Yellow Dragon King falling into a deep sleep again.
"The news from the West Sea is correct. The matter has been resolved and there are no further troubles. That boy is really lucky. And his father - he is really a descendant of three generations."
Mu Shansheng was filled with emotion.
If that kid hadn't died, he would have formed an elixir by now, right? Him, plus his son Fu Henghua, and his father Fu Danwei. Why should our Dao Sword Sect be worried?
Fu Henghua was in a coma after resting and had no time to inform him of the situation. But Fu Yaozhen and the three Yuanying masters sent the news to Tianxuan Taoist platform in time, letting the Tribulation Immortals know that the White Dragon King had died.
However, for the sake of caution, all the Tribulation Immortals still stayed in Mianlong Valley for a few days. Until the Yellow Dragon King vented his anger and fell asleep again.
Hearing Mu Shansheng's words, the two sword masters next to him remained silent.
Seeing the attitude of the two sword masters, Taoist Xuan Ling said to Mu Shansheng: "I have lived in Juxian Island for a long time, but I have never seen that boy. I just heard from the young handsome man on the island that that boy occupied Lao Meng's Spiritual Tribulation Cave. ?A Taoism conference will be held this year?"
He wears a green shirt, a bronze lotus crown on his head, and a jade wat hanging around his waist. He looks like a young man and is full of energy.
"It's just kids playing nonsense." Mu Shansheng simply told about the tea party discussion that Fu Henghua organized in Lingjie Cave.
Taoist Xuan Ling nodded.
He heard this matter mentioned by his disciples. The disciples complained that the people in Juxianzhou were left out in the cold by Lingjie Cave. He said that there were not enough invitations because Fu Henghua looked down on people from Juxianzhou.
But this time Mu Shansheng specifically told the story of the first time Fu Henghua sent an invitation to Juxianzhou.
Taoist Xuan Ling secretly thought: The various sects in Juxian Continent are stuck in their ways and do not communicate with outsiders. This is not good, not good. I acquiesce in their rejection of outside sects because I hope that Juxian Continent will not be involved in the conflict between Fudo Continent and Sword Immortal Continent, and will not be affected by the dispute between the two pavilions. It is not for them to dominate their own country.
After thinking about it, he said to Mu Shansheng: "I want to bring a few disciples to watch this sword fight. Brother Dao, can you be accommodating?"
"Our sword fight is just a discussion. How can it be inconvenient to invite guests from all over the world? What do you think, you two?"
Wanxiang Sword Master's expression was cold: "My Taoist friends Meng and Qin are the referees, so the number of people is inevitably small. If my Taoist friends are willing to go, please come and arbitrate."
This sword master comes from Yuxianzhou Wanxiang Palace. This was originally a sect that respected Taoism, but a swordsman named Jie Xian happened to be the one who became the largest sect in Yuxian Continent.
Yuxianzhou is similar to Juxianzhou. It is closed and self-defended under the leadership of a Tribulation Immortal. Each sect operates Buxianzhou and rarely goes out. Only there are discussions between the two continents to avoid being completely self-defeating and derailing from the outside world.
A few years ago, young disciples from the seven sects of Yuxianzhou and the nine sects of Juxianzhou competed against each other. Yuxianzhou was a small loser. Consciously losing face in front of Taoist Xuan Ling, his attitude was somewhat contradictory.
In comparison, Yuming Sword Master's attitude was much better.
"Fellow Taoist, I will naturally welcome you."
Taoist Xuan Ling is famous for his alchemy skills. Although the elixir he refined was of little use to the Tribulation Immortal and his ilk, his disciples would inevitably ask for it, and the Yuming Sword Master would not offend him easily.
At this time, several Tribulation Immortals received a message from Nanhai and were relieved to learn that the wind belt had been repaired.
Wu Huaiping, the Tribulation Immortal of Jade Saint Pavilion, frowned and asked, "Why is there no trace of that Demon Lord?"
Mu Shansheng closed his eyes and concentrated, contacting Meng Chen.
Soon, he raised his head and said: "The one who ran away, Shi Xue Escape, left from the South China Sea and should have gone to the West Sea."
West China Sea?
Taoist Xuan Ling is a little sensitive.
Mu Shansheng: "Fellow Daoist Canglan and Daoist Xuan have already rushed over."
Not long after, Sun Cheng explained the cause and effect.
The demon king took away the body of his concubine and smuggled it from the wind belt of the South China Sea, which happened to alarm Sun Cheng who was practicing magic and collecting medicine nearby. The two fought hard, alarming Qin Lin again. The two noticed that the Demon Lord was holding the Imperial Treasure Demon Soldier, and also found that the wind belt was broken, so they quickly contacted the Tribulation Immortals.
After Cang Lanzi and others rushed over, they drove the demon king away and tried to block the wind belt.
As for the origin of the Demon King, Sun Cheng also made it clear.
Wu Huaiping: "I remember, this happened a few years ago, right? The junior named Yang came from Nanzhou to challenge various factions. It seems to have happened during that time?"
This demon king was originally the lover of a demon emperor in Nanzhou. Because they hooked up with the Demon Emperor's disciples, the two took away the magic treasures and grimoires and fled, making the Demon Emperor furious, and war broke out in Nanzhou again.
A purple-robed Tribulation Immortal from the Purple Emperor Pavilion sighed and said: "When I heard that the demon king fled into Wanxian Mountain occupied by the Chiyuan Taoist Sect, I felt it vaguely. Unexpectedly, the Chiyuan Taoist Sect did not stop him."
The Demonic Way is very prosperous in Nanzhou. Although the Chiyuan Taoist Sect relies on the power of the immortals to gather the various immortal sects, it can only occupy one-third of Nanzhou, creating the "Ten Thousand Mountains and Mountains Immortal Realm".
The Demon Lord and the Demon Emperor's disciples fled into Wanshan Mountain, naturally intending to use the power of immortality to prevent the Demon Emperor from pursuing him.
But I really think that the Demon Emperor hates this couple of bitches. He would not hesitate to start a war between immortals and demons, but also wanted to kill the two of them.
Wu Huaiping also said helplessly: "We can't hide in the mountains, so we will naturally come to the outside world. But I didn't expect that the wind belt would be torn apart - by the way, will the Demon Emperor come after me?"
"Find the person as soon as possible and send the things back to Nanzhou." After several Tribulation Immortals gathered together, they quickly sent a message to Tianxuan Taoist Platform to alert people everywhere to the Demon Lord's traces.
"Speaking of which, why did this devil take the body of his concubine? Where was his own body?"
"Could it be that he was beheaded while fleeing?"
Several Tribulation Immortals put it all together, but they couldn't think of it.
A majestic demon king fell into the hands of a small talisman cultivator. With just one immortal talisman, the immortal demonic body that had been practicing for thousands of years was broken.
Wu Huaiping looked at the sky and put the Wusha crown on his head: "Now that the matter is settled, I will go back first."
The two Immortals of Zihuang Pavilion did not stay long and stood up to leave.
When there were four people left, Mu Shansheng said to the two sword masters: "You two, should we go to the East China Sea together now, or should we go home and then lead our disciples there."
The Yuming Sword Master glanced at the East China Sea: "Now the killing sword has moved, and the evil star is approaching the sea. I think Master Tianling and Master Qingxiao have entered the East China Sea, so let's go there quickly."
Master Tianling is the representative of the Sword Formation Sect, and Master Qingxiao is the master of the Killing Sword Sect. Although he is not a sword saint or a calamity immortal, he is still a famous sword master from the East.
"Exactly. I'm already late, so I don't want to keep you guys waiting any longer."
Due to the Huanglong King incident and the destruction of the South China Sea wind belt, the sword fight was postponed to the second day of February.
However, the Fu family has sent people to the East China Sea to make arrangements, and many sword cultivators have rushed to the East China Sea. Although the formal sword fighting has not started, small-scale conflicts have occurred.
"The three of you, let's go together. I'll go back to Juxianzhou first." Taoist Xuanling remembered something and looked at Xihai. "Fellow Taoist, won't you take that boy from Xihai with you? His sword fight with Ai Yanchang , but the opening ceremony of this sword fight."
The old god Mu Shansheng is here: "Don't be anxious, let him go by himself. There is still half a month, give him some time."
Can Fu Henghua defeat Ai Yanchang now?
Mu Shansheng felt guilty.
But regarding his grandfather's chance of becoming enlightened, he wouldn't not pay attention to it, right?
Wanxiang Sword Master seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Fellow Daoist Ai is the master of my spiritual art lineage. It's not shameful for this junior to lose, so why not just take him with him? I heard that Tao Ming is with him, so bring him with him too. Fellow Daoist help him Refining the demonic energy, let him thank you in the sword fight when the time comes."
Tao Ming, the real name of Xuanjian. Very few people know, but the Tribulation Immortals are so old that they naturally know everything.
"How many times have I told you that I am not talking nonsense about him becoming a demon, so why are you so petty?"
"I didn't suspect you of lying either."
Du Huaiyuan of Hidden Sword Island is a master of swordsmanship from the Lingjue Sect. He saw with his own eyes that the real Xuanjian was possessed by a demon, so naturally he couldn't fake it.
Wanxiang Sword Master was angry because he went to Tianjian Pavilion to ask for someone afterwards. Mu Shansheng was not allowed to take Xuanjian back to Wanxiang Palace for healing on the grounds that Xuanjian was possessed by a demon and could not be moved without permission.
"You don't have a superior sword tomb in the Wanxiang Palace, how can you help?" Yuming Sword Master muttered, but Wanxiang Sword Master glared at him.
"That's right. How many swordsmen are there in your shitty place?"
Hearing the three sword masters quarreling, Taoist Xuan Ling held up the breeze and left directly.
Mu Shansheng watched the two of them arguing, raised his forehead and said, "Okay, let's go early, the three of us. This time, I must let you understand what is the orthodoxy of swordsmanship."
The two sword masters sneered.
"Brother Tao, look there seems to be a cow in the sky."
"Oh? Someone must have blown it up, right?"
Kendo orthodoxy?
Except for my spiritual art/divine weapon lineage, who dares to claim to be orthodox?
…
Leopard Tail Island, underground ruins.
Zhang Xiangying led some people to walk carefully in the fog. The four people at the front, each holding four thin-waisted black dogs, were at the front to explore the way for everyone.
"Why should you be so careful? I told you that there is no spell like Huangban Village underground." On the ground, Fu Henghua saw the actions of everyone underground through a mirror.
Ouyang Ziming sat opposite him, recording the actions of Zhang Xiangying and others.
"You have to be careful in everything."
Suddenly, the mirror shook, then returned to normal.
Ouyang Ziming did not dare to be careless and immediately contacted Zhang Xiangying.
After both parties checked that everything was correct, they continued to explore.
Henghua watched their actions and said nothing.
The ancient people's exploration of the Immortal Mansion is completely different from that of ordinary monks. And they are so cautious, obviously they have learned bloody lessons.
Zhang Xiangying and others walked for a while and came to a broken city wall.
There they saw an unconscious man.
"Senior Wang Dan?"
Zhang Xiangying immediately sent someone over. But just when several thin-waisted dogs were about to approach, their fur suddenly exploded and they barked at the air.
Everyone stopped, not daring to get closer to Wang Dan.
Ouyang Ziming identified it and sent a message: "Try the cloud-returning spell."
Fu Henghua added: "Add another Lihuo spell and cast it on Senior Wang Dan. He is not afraid of being burned by the Lihuo at the foundation level, and you can also check his authenticity."
Ouyang Ziming glanced at Fu Henghua and did not refute.
Zhang Xiangying conducted experiments according to the instructions of the two men.
Soon, a group of invisible bees around Wang Dan were forced to appear. And when Li Huo ignites on Wang Dan, although it cannot damage Wang Dan and its protective clothing. But from between the broken robes, traces of black smoke could be seen pouring out of the wound.
"He is poisonous, so be careful. Don't get close. Use the golden bell to trap him and bring him back to the ground."
Ouyang Ziming had just finished speaking, and when he looked at Fu Henghua, he saw that he had disappeared.
After being stunned for a moment, Ouyang Ziming came to his senses.
He won't go down, will he?
Damn it, he has no experience in archaeology at all. What if something happens down there?
He chased him out, only to see Fu Henghua running to find Xiaoyu and bringing him a pair of medical tools. Then Fu Henghua was fully armed and set up a tent for isolation.
"you……"
"Bring the person up and send him directly here. I'll check him."
After all, Wang Dan is an old friend of the elders, and Fu Henghua cannot ignore death.
Soon, four people came up from the underground ruins. The four of them worked together to use spells to hold up a ball of light. Wang Dan was lying in the ball of light, dying.
After being sent to the tent, Fu Henghua retreated from the others and inspected him alone.
After cutting open the treasure clothes and seeing the thick sores on his body, Fu Henghua took three steps back.
"Five plagues killing curse?"
This is a serious evil method.
Ordinary plagues and poisonous gases are difficult to harm the body of a cultivator. Only medicines refined from heavenly materials and earthly treasures are effective for cultivators.
but--
By purifying the spicy stuff of mortals. The little essence finally obtained can stimulate the cultivator's tongue and feel the same spiciness as a mortal.

Then, if the disease energy that works on mortals is collected. What about hundreds, thousands, even hundreds of thousands, millions of people?
The Yin Killing Curse of the Five Plagues spreads the plague energy on mortals. Only after cultivating 100,000 people can one get a wisp of the "evil energy of the five plagues".
This evil spirit was contaminated by the foundation-building monk, and he died suddenly on the spot.
Not only is there illness, but there is also resentment and evil spirits.
Although Fu Henghua has a body of creation, he does not dare to be careless.
"My Tao body is slightly better than Senior Wang Dan in terms of healing and detoxification. But he looks like this, which shows that this spell is also useful for me. Starting with one million people?"
At this moment, Henghua truly felt the evil ways of Shenzhou.
This is only the periphery of the Evil Emperor's ruins. It is unknown whether it was left by the Evil Emperor himself.
but--
Mortals are consumables. They are the best cultivation materials to collect and the least stingy.
Millions of people sacrificed themselves, just for a spell.
Thinking back to the Bone Tower around Qizheng City, Fu Henghua felt extremely heavy.
Recovering the Tianxie Sword Qi may not be as easy as I thought. How about staying underground first and preparing for a sword fight?
Fu Henghua thought while trying to suppress the epidemic curse for Wang Dan.
Fortunately, he has mastered the techniques of all the masters of medicine and poisoning, and is also very proficient in evil arts.
Soon, the evil power in Wang Dan was suppressed, and he faintly woke up.
After seeing Fu Henghua, he was suddenly startled, and then reached out to Fu Henghua.
Fu Henghua quickly got out of the way.
"This is on the ground. You are coming out. How is the situation down there? Where is Senior Qiu?"
"He went deeper, and we got separated halfway..." Wang Dan said intermittently, "As he guessed, there is indeed a Qiankun Gate below, leading directly to Qizheng City."
"The White Saint's Secret Treasury is in Qizheng City?"
Wang Dan blinked.
Fu Henghua's face was full of disgust.
"What do those thieves in China think? Where do they put their things?"
"To be more precise, it's an ancient ruin under Qizheng City. It's just that the Evil Emperor's ruins were sealed together by Senior Immortal."
The ruins of the Evil Emperor are not on the Relic Continent, nor on an island. Instead, they were sealed into an alien space by the Immortals of China.
But some remnants of the evil path dug up the ruins of Qizheng City and built the Qiankun Gate to connect that time and space.
The Bone Pagoda Forest that Fu Henghua and Master Xuanjian went to was one of the ruins. Through the Golden Gate at the core of the Bone Tower, you can enter the time and space where the Evil Emperor's ruins are located, which is the real Qizheng City.
Under the Qizheng Villa on Leopard Island are the ruins of the former Huangban Village. Li Ye made some arrangements and reconstructed a Qiankun Gate imitating the Bone Pagoda Forest.
Qiu Yu and Wang Dan secretly found the Qiankun Gate and entered Qizheng City first.
After Zhuguren woke up, he prepared manpower in the past few days and went to Qizheng City to explore.
But the ruins of Qizheng City are larger than everyone imagined. Not to mention the even more ancient ruins under Qizheng City.
Not only were days of exploration in vain, but Wang Dan also ended up like this.
"Qizheng City is not a good place. You should turn around and don't go down there." Wang Dan regained some strength and said in a deep voice, "It can be said that every household there is cursed. The residents of Qizheng City are not the ordinary people we imagined at all. But a spiritual person.”
"Spirit person?"
Fu Henghua raised his eyebrows. "I remember that Qizheng City has a population of millions. Do you think this is a spiritual person?"
"That's right, millions of souls."
Wang Dan said seriously: "The scale of Qizheng City exceeds our expectations. The spirits belonging to the Evil Emperor's line were blocked by the immortals and imprisoned to death there."
Fu Henghua remained silent.
This is inconsistent with the information recorded in China.
According to existing records, the evil emperor fought with the immortals and Qizheng City was destroyed. All the mortals inside were turned into sacrifices to the Evil Emperor, and eventually the City of Millions was completely empty.
The current interpretation is that the evil emperor himself wiped out all the residents of Qizheng City and fought against the immortals. In the end, he was defeated by the combined efforts of the immortals and demons, and was forced to disintegrate the seal.
Qizheng City was also sealed by the immortals because it was no longer inhabited and there were too many traces of evil ways.
Is it possible that the immortals sealed millions of cultivators together back then?
How big was the world of cultivation in the Shenzhou era?
Millions of cultivators? Is this something that can be taken out casually?
