Demon Continent, Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm is the most prosperous and sacred place in the Demon Continent that is most respected by all people. Here are the three major temples of the Demon Clan.
Holy Demon Palace, Holy Soul Palace, and Holy Abyss Palace.
The three major temples existed as checks and balances from the beginning. They each performed their own duties. While maintaining the peace of the Demon Continent, they also shouldered the responsibility of leading the Demon to become rich and powerful.
Today is the third day of the Hunyuan Prefecture’s martial arts training.
In the meeting hall, three figures were at the top, and on both sides below stood people from the three halls wearing black robes. These were all high-level personnel of the three halls.
In the center of the main hall, a woman was kneeling on the ground, wearing the robe of the Holy Abyss Hall.
If Yun Xi were here, she would definitely be shocked!
Because, this woman dressed so conservatively is actually that witch You Tingjing!
You Tingjing was kneeling on the ground quietly at this moment, surrounded by deathly silence.
On the first stage of the main hall, there are three high seats. The three people on the seats are the three people with the highest status in the demon clan, the masters of the three temples.
The Lord of the Holy Demon Palace is in the middle. He is a middle-aged man with an average appearance and looks to be only about forty years old.
His name is Ming Lengzhao, and he is a peerless strong man who has achieved great success in the spirit-slaying realm.
Ming Lengzhao looked at You Tingjing in the center of the hall, and her calm voice echoed in the hall.
"You Tingjing, I heard that you, Mingyuan Mo and Zi Xiaocheng were captured by the Tianling people, but both of them died for the demons, but you escaped intact. This is true. "
You Ting leaned forward quietly: "Return to the Lord of the Holy Demon Palace, this is indeed the case."
Ming Lengzhao nodded: "So, you colluded with the Tianling people to betray Ming Yuanmo and the others."
"Disciple is wronged!" You Tingjing raised her head, her usually charming and charming face turned serious, "Disciple, I don't know why, on the night of my escape, Tianling didn't even have a guard, but let me escape easily! This is absolutely true. Indeed, disciples would never dare to lie!”
"fart!"
Before the Lord of the Holy Demon Palace could say anything, someone stood up next to him and said angrily: "Why did the Heavenly Spirit only kill my Holy Demon and Holy Soul disciples, but let you ignore them and let you escape?"
He turned around and saluted Ming Lengzhao: "Palace Master, in my opinion, it was You Tingjing who betrayed Ming Yuan and Mo!"
"It's just nonsense! Everything must be based on evidence! Which of your eyes saw You Tingjing betraying her own people? In my opinion, this is simply the Tianling's plan to alienate her!"
Another man stood up. He was from Shengyuan Temple.
Someone else stood up: "Evidence? The evidence is that both Mingyuan Mo and Zi Xiaocheng are dead, and only she, You Tingjing, is alive!"
Someone in the Holy Abyss Palace was furious: "Then what you mean is that all three of them must be dead to be considered normal. If one of them is alive, he is considered a traitor, right?"
"Of course not, but why are both Mingyuan and Mo dead, while You Tingjing is the only one alive?"
"I understand. Could it be that you mean that someone can live, but that person must not be someone from my Holy Abyss Palace? Is that what you mean!"
"When did I ever say such a thing!"
"That's what you want to express now!"
The member of the Shengyuan Palace turned to face the high platform and said loudly: "Three palace masters, You Tingjing, as a descendant of my demon clan, it is absolutely impossible for you to betray your fellow clan!"
Someone from the Holy Demon Palace and the Holy Soul Palace also quickly stepped forward: "Palace Master, if this were not the case, why was it that the three of them were arrested, but only You Tingjing escaped unharmed? You Tingjing is very powerful, I can't guarantee that she was seduced by this charm. …”
Bang!
There was a soft sound, like a thunder that shook everyone's heart, and everyone standing in the hall couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
To the left of Ming Lengzhao, a white-haired old man raised his eyes slightly. Under his white hair, there was a pair of extremely dark and deep pupils with no whites.
He quietly looked at the person who had spoken before, and a vicissitudes of voice came out faintly: "Are you saying that our Shengyuan Palace is incapable of educating people?"
The man panicked and knelt on the ground: "I don't dare."
Only then did the old man slowly withdraw his gaze, looking like he was sleeping soundly again.
There is no doubt that this person is the current master of Shengyuan Palace, Youxuan Kui, who is also in the realm of spiritual slaying.
Ming Lengzhao waved his hand to the kneeling person and said calmly: "You should stand up first. If you let me hear you again in the future, you can go to the Demon Prison to reflect on yourself."
"Thank you, Palace Master. I understand my mistake."
As soon as he stood up and joined the team, someone else immediately stood up and continued the previous topic, saying: "Palace Master, my subordinates still believe that it is abnormal for You Tingjing to escape safely. If it were not for the betrayal of Mingyuan Mohe, Zi Xiaocheng, how could Tianlingren let her go like this?"
At this time, a woman from Shengyuan Palace stood up. She had a graceful body, enchanting posture, and beautiful face. She was a rare beauty.
This person is not only a senior member of Shengyuan Palace, but also You Tingjing’s master, named You Ruohan.
You Ruohan looked at the people who had spoken before and said, "I have a question for everyone here."
"If you were to stand in the position of Tian Ling and capture the three top disciples of the demon clan including You Tingjing in conjunction with You Tingjing, after killing Ming Yuanmo and Zi Xiaocheng, Will you let You Tingjing go?"
Her sweet voice echoed in the hall, and the people in the Holy Demon Palace and Holy Soul Palace suddenly fell silent.
What a joke, if they were Tianling people, they would naturally not let You Tingjing go, just like they would never let Tianling people go!
Seeing no one to refute, You Ruohan turned around and saluted on the high platform: "Three palace masters, this is obviously a divorce plan by the Tianling people. According to the account of my disciples of Shengyuan Palace, when You Tingjing and the other two were arrested, , there are at least six spirits in Tianling, and one of them can fight alone against Mingyuan Mo and Zi Xiaocheng. With the overall strength of Tianling, and the realm of Youtingjing, it is absolutely impossible to do it quietly. Escape without sound!"
"This must be a trap set up by Tianling!"
Ming Lengzhao did not respond to her, but looked at Zi Chuan Yu, the master of the Holy Soul Palace on the other side.
This person has a majestic figure and a strong aura that is not angry but is self-defeating.
Ming Lengzhao asked: "Brother Shunyu, what do you think?"
Zi Shuyu's sharp eyes fell on You Tingjing and said: "This statement makes sense."
They have fought against Tian Ling many times, and they understand the strength of Tian Ling people best, and they will not naively think that Tian Ling's students are weak.
You Tingjing thought that it would be impossible to escape from Tianling's custody unscathed, even if she had an insider!
Unless those spiritual beings from Tianling let her go on purpose.
When the people in the Holy Soul Palace heard this, they immediately became anxious: "Palace Master, there must be something fishy about this matter!"
despair……
There was another soft sound, and everyone's eyes focused on You Xuankui again.
You Xuankui's pure black glasses were looking at where he was looking. His voice was calm but full of majesty: "Since you have doubts, let's do a soul search for You Tingjing."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the Holy Soul Hall of the Holy Demon Palace immediately widened their eyes. They did not expect that You Xuankui would choose to compromise, and they immediately showed a victorious smile.
In contrast, the people at Shengyuan Temple were immediately anxious.
"Palace Master, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Palace Master! Soul searching is extremely harmful to the soul. If You Tingjing performs soul searching, she will not be able to survive the future Luck Thunder Tribulation!"
"Palace Master, think twice!"
You Tingjing in the center of the hall also turned pale instantly.
Seeing the anxiety shown by the people in the Holy Abyss Hall, the people in the Holy Demon Hall and the Holy Soul Hall looked happy. However, before they started to jeer, they heard You Xuankui's voice continuing to come.
"However, since you searched for the soul just because of doubts, if it is later proven that you have wronged You Tingjing, then you will have to make equal compensation. How about that?"
Laughter and anxiety, all sounds disappeared in an instant, and the huge hall fell into deathly silence again.
The expressions on the faces of everyone in the Holy Demon Palace and Holy Soul Palace suddenly became stiff.
Equal compensation means that soul searches must also be carried out.
They are all high-level officials of the two palaces. Once the soul is searched, the damage to the soul will be minimal. The most important thing is how many of their own secrets will be exposed?
Before they could respond, You Tingjing, who was originally extremely pale, suddenly said loudly:
"Disciple is willing to accept the soul search!"
This simple sentence directly put the senior officials of the two palaces into a dilemma.
You Xuankui yawned slowly: "In that case, let's start over there."
He raised his hand slightly, and just as he was about to take action, Ming Lengzhao next to him immediately said: "Brother Xuankui, there is no need for this. This is obviously a clever stratagem by those Tianling students. If we really do this, That plays into the hands of these young people.”
You Xuankui still didn't put down his hand: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"It's best if you don't fall into the trap."
You Xuankui glanced at him lightly, finally put his hand down and stood up with the help of crutches.
"In that case, I will go back."
He moved his steps.
Thump…thump…thump…
The sound of the crutch hitting the ground continued to echo in the hall. This soft sound seemed to fall in the main hall, but in fact it fell in the heart of every senior member of the two halls.
When You Xuankui was about to walk out of the hall, everyone in the Shengyuan Palace quickly followed. You Ruohan helped up his disciple and took her away.
The people in the other two halls could only watch helplessly as the people from the Holy Abyss Hall left.
Ming Lengzhao squinted his eyes and stared at You Xuankui's back with a profound expression.
…
…
After returning to Shengyuan Hall from the Meeting Hall, You Xuankui looked back at You Tingjing who was following You Ruohan, and said calmly: "Follow me."
"yes."
You Tingjing quickly walked to You Xuankui's side and followed him obediently.
Seeing this, the other people in Shengyuan Palace dispersed and cursed in low voices the rude people in the other two palaces.
You Xuankui took You Tingjing to the depths of Shengyuan Hall, the bookstore that belonged exclusively to the master of the hall.
Different from Tianling Continent, Tianmo Continent is a land rich in minerals but scarce water. Dark and bare stone mountains can be seen everywhere, but there are few green lakes. Vegetables are the most expensive food here.
The Holy Abyss Hall is built against the mountain, inside a dark stone mountain. The entire mountain is covered with top-notch formations, and even a strong man from the Luck Spirit Realm cannot easily break it.
The advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack means that it is difficult to see sunlight inside, so it is filled with lighting crystals, and You Xuankui's bookstore is no exception.
The book pavilion is brightly lit and surrounded by various books and scrolls, most of which are related to spiritual practice.
Taking out any of these books and scrolls is enough to cause countless spiritual cultivators to rush for it.
You Tingjing did not look at these things, but just looked at the back of the palace master.
The door to the bookstore was closed. You Xuankui was leaning on crutches and did not sit down at the desk.
He turned around directly, looked at You Tingjing, and asked, "Have you seen her?"
In order to prevent attracting the attention of the other two halls, this was the first time You Tingjing was summoned by You Xuankui after she returned to the sect.
You Ting nodded quietly: "I saw it, and I gave her the things you gave me, the palace master."
A light suddenly appeared in You Xuankui's dark pupils, and he asked slightly excitedly: "How did she react?"
You Tingjing hesitated for a moment and said, "She...she didn't react at all."
"no response?"
You Xuankui was slightly startled, but quickly covered up this emotion.
He continued to ask: "Then how did you escape?"
In fact, even he still believed that this was a divorce plan played by Tian Ling, otherwise You Tingjing would not have been able to escape from Tian Ling's hands no matter what.
You Ting said quietly: "It was her idea. She said that not only would this help me escape safely, but I would also be able to avoid being suspected when I came back. She was also the one who went to negotiate with Tianling, and used the excuse of alienation to get everyone in Tianling to agree. .”
You Xuankui couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt in his eyes: "You mean, she planned all this to save you?"
You Ting nodded quietly.
You Xuankui looked deeply at You Tingjing's face, remained silent for a moment, and finally said: "I understand, remember this, and don't tell anyone."
You Tingjing immediately saluted: "Disciple, please remember this at all times."
"Um."
You Xuankui thought for a while, then placed his hand gently on You Tingjing from a distance, and a stream of light flowed into the center of You Tingjing's eyebrows, remaining in her sea of consciousness.
"I left a mark in your body. If someone wants to forcefully use soul searching on you, I will sense it."
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Yes. Can you get the Tribulation Pill?"
You Ting lowered her head quietly and bowed: "If the disciple fails to get it, please ask the palace master to punish me!"
You Xuankui looked at her quietly: "That's all, you can go back first."
"yes."
"etc."
Just as You Tingjing was about to leave, she was stopped again, and she quickly saluted.
"Do you have any other instructions from the Palace Master?"
You Xuankui made a move with his hand, and a scroll suddenly flew from the bookshelf. He threw the scroll to You Tingjing: "You did a good job this time. Now that you have achieved the spiritual path, it is time to learn some stronger spiritual skills. Take it back and look at it carefully, and don’t learn from it for others.”
You Ting looked at the scroll in her hand. She was stunned for a moment, and then her pupils suddenly shrank, filled with excitement.
She saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for the gift! My disciple is grateful!"
"Okay, let's get down!"
"Disciple, obey!"
After You Tingjing left, You Xuankui also walked out of the book pavilion and walked deeper into the Holy Abyss Hall.
He walked through the aisles and formations, and finally came to a dark hall.
The dark hall was extremely empty, with only a small metal altar standing in the center. Floating on the small altar was a dark purple diamond-shaped crystal block. The crystal block was huge, as high as two people.
At this moment, there is bright and thick red light flowing in the amethyst, swimming freely like a fish.
You Xuankui tapped the amethyst gently, and suddenly, a soft, dreamlike voice floated out of the amethyst.
"everything is fine."
An unfamiliar voice, a familiar tone.
The moment You Xuankui heard this, tears filled his eyes. He gently touched the amethyst and said with a choked voice, "I will continue to wait for you."
