magic world
This is a gray world without light and warmth, replaced by endless darkness and indifference. Groups of black demonic energy floated in and out of the air, the earth was cracked, and the vegetation was deserted.
In the middle of a dangerous mountain piled with soul-eating stones, stands a palace whose age cannot be traced. The walls and floors are made of blood-black stones. Demonic vines spread on the outer walls. Some have dried up and peeled off, while others have just grown new. Drops of blood are dripping down, making the hair on one's bones stand on end.
The hall was brightly lit, and huge demon statues stood on the palace walls on both sides. Most of them were ugly and ferocious, but there were also a few that looked like human men, with cold and majestic expressions.
There are various monsters standing under the statues, with different shapes and different heights. Many of them look exactly like the statues behind them, and they should obviously be of the same race.
Sitting on the black iron throne in the center of the hall is a two-foot-tall giant with brown hair, dark and deep blue eyes, and bronze-hard skin. He is wearing a black robe and exudes a terrifying atmosphere. The powerful breath.
His face showed no emotion or anger, and like other demons in the hall, he was looking at a monster kneeling under the stage.
"Raise your head." The giant said slowly. The voice was dull and indifferent, causing buzzing echoes in the hall, as if countless voices were shouting at the same time: "Raise your head!"
The kneeling monster raised its head, revealing a hair-covered face with bulging eyes, flaring nostrils, and dark and rough skin.
The giant's gaze lingered on the sharp black horns on the monster's forehead for a moment, and he nodded slightly.
"Very good, you have been successfully transformed into a demon, and your realm has reached the level of my royal family. You are a talent that can be made."
"Well, what's your name?"
The monster looked excited and choked with sobs: "Thank you so much for the praise from the Holy Lord. It's all because of the Holy Lord's inspiration that the little one, like a lost lamb, found a bright light and became a member of my Holy Clan!"
"The little one has a name on the human side, called Yin Nanxing. The little one doesn't like this name very much."
"If you are brave, please give me your name by the Holy Lord!"
"Haha, what a saint, just call me Demon Lord. We demons are demons, you don't need to be taboo about anything." The Giant Demon Lord said lightly: "As for the name, well, let's call it Aqina from now on."
"Aqina thanked the Demon Lord for the name!" Yin Nanxing, no, Aqina said in surprise.
"You are very good," Demon Lord praised: "It has been a long time since there has been an outstanding seed like you in the Jade World. I have read the information you provided about the Jade World, and it is good."
He then ordered one of the demons serving His Highness: "Go and carve out a territory in the Black Swamp for this Lord Aqina to live. Demon stones, demon soul flowers, demon beasts, etc. will all be rewarded according to royal treatment." , there must be no shortage.”
"According to the order," the demon responded, turning to Yin Nanxing and said: "Congratulations to the prince. The Holy Lord attaches great importance to the prince, why don't you thank me quickly!"
Yin Nanxing crawled a few steps on his knees, pressed his face against the dark stone steps of the palace platform, kissed him repeatedly, and sobbed: "Little Wang, thank you for the gift from the Holy Lord! Little Wang swears allegiance to the Holy Lord to the death, and there will be no second thoughts!"
"Um."
"I have one more thing to ask for, little one." Yin Nanxing then begged.
"Huh?" Demon Lord's voice was slightly impatient.
"I am willing to be the pioneer, lead my army of demons to attack the Zhenyu Realm, and shine the glory of my demons on that barren land!"
As soon as these words came out, the discussion in the hall suddenly fell silent. All eyes were focused on Aqina, some were surprised, some were happy, some were disdainful, jealous and sneered, etc.
Immediately, there was a commotion.
"What an arrogant boy! He wants us to die!"
"It must be a cruel trick of the human race!"
"Search this boy's soul to see if what he said is true or false!"
"..."
The Demon Lord glanced coldly at the whole place. Wherever he looked, all the monsters shut up and remained silent.
"Tell me what you think."
"The younger one has been stationed near the Moyun Crack for many years, and he knows the formation settings and the distribution of the garrison," Aqina said loudly: "I can lead an elite team first, sneak through the crack, and capture all the guarding formations. A monk of the Dharma..."
"Captive? Why not kill?"
"Each of these monks has a soul card. If they are killed and the soul card is shattered, it will definitely alarm the Yunxiao Sect. Temporarily capturing them can paralyze them. I will order someone to disguise their communications. This way, at least it can be guaranteed within ten days. , the energy of our demon army continues to enter the Jade Realm!"
"Ten days?" Demon Lord pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine, let's give it a try. Tell me, what do you need?"
"I need an army, an army that obeys my command and obeys orders and prohibitions." Aqina said ambitiously.
"Is there any order or prohibition?" Demon Lord shook his head: "My demon race is unruly in nature and disobeys control. I don't have such troops at hand. Let's do this. I will send you more demon commanders and demon generals, and you can train them yourself. "
Yin Nanxing was overjoyed and leaned over to thank him.
"How long does it take to train?"
"It can take as little as five years, or as many as ten years. My subordinates will be the king's vanguard to attack the Zhenyu Realm!"
…
Yuhuang Peak
"Zheng, 珰, ding, dong——"
On this day, the bells of Yuhuang Peak were ringing and cranes were flying. Queen Mingyue, who had been in seclusion for more than two years, and the ancestor of Yuanying of the Great Qin Kingdom, finally came out of seclusion.
Qin Zhaohuan led the princes and nobles, and hundreds of civil and military officials stood on both sides.
Not long after, the closed courtyard opened wide, and Qin Mingyue, who was dressed in palace attire and looked beautiful, slowly walked out.
The whole body exudes the majestic majesty of a Yuanying stage monk, which makes people feel frightened and dare not look directly.
The empress glanced at everyone, her eyes neither angry nor happy, and finally looked at the maid in front of her, and said calmly: "I am out of seclusion, there is no need for you to work hard, everyone can go back."
"Yuzhi, you come with me."
After that, he flicked his long sleeves and flew towards the palace.
The maid named Qin Yuzhi quickly followed behind and came to the empress' palace together.
Here, Qin Mingyue took off her palace clothes, stretched her slender waist, let Qin Yuzhi help her comb her hair, and asked at the same time:
"What happened in junior high school in the past two years?"
This Qin Yuzhi was the old man she brought from the eldest princess's house, and she won her trust. After hearing this, she immediately reported several important domestic matters in a low voice.
Qin Mingyue closed her eyes slightly and hummed occasionally.
"Your Majesty, something happened in Daye's hometown." Qin Yuzhi continued.
"Um?"
"Daye Kingdom has been restored." The maid continued.
"The country has been restored?" The empress' eyes suddenly opened: "What's going on?"
"This is an order from the Lord of the Eastern Territory," Qin Yuzhi said cautiously: "Not long after His Majesty retreated into seclusion two years ago, a decree from the Zhenzun Patriarch came from the Zhou Kingdom, reprimanding our Qin and Xu states for relying on strength. Bullying the weak, using the big to bully the small, and destroying the Daye country is really risking the disapproval of the world. We are strictly ordered to return the land of the Daye country and restore its land and society."
Qin Mingyue's long eyebrows were slightly raised, and she was greatly confused.
"Jiahe Zhenzun, he always doesn't care about secular affairs, why did he interfere in this matter?"
"Who is the current leader of Daye Kingdom?"
"It was the former Prime Minister." Qin Yuzhi replied: "Because of the pressure from the Zhou State, the Supervisor did not dare to disobey. At that time, it was inconvenient to ask you for instructions, so he took it upon himself to release him."
"Hmph, this coward!" Qin Mingyue snorted coldly, without much displeasure in her tone: "What's the reaction from the Yunxiao Sect?"
"The Yunxiao Sect adopted a drag-and-drop strategy, saying that the land had been distributed and could not be handed over for a while. So the matter developed later, and the two sides started fighting, with both sides suffering casualties. The current situation is that each side occupies half, and blood is shed. Conflicts occur from time to time.”
"Is there no one to mediate?" Qin Mingyue said in surprise.
"No."
"Where does Daye Kingdom get its fighting power?"
"Kuang State sent out many people, including an Elder Jindan, who served as the general of Daye State. Many battles were fought under his command."
"How is the situation in Chunan County?" The empress suddenly thought of Yang Zhen's fiefdom and asked.
"It has been taken away by Daye Kingdom."
"Are there any casualties among the monks?"
"The governor of Chunan County, I heard that his name was Zhang Qianfan, died in the battle." Qin Yuzhi whispered.
…
"Okay, I understand, go down."
After Qin Yuzhi left, Zhao Yuer, Qing Xiaoling and others immediately came out of the bluestone.
"Master Nephew Zhang's death cannot be in vain, we must avenge him!" Zhao Yuer'er had tears in her eyes, looking sad and angry.
Zhang Qianfan is kind and loyal, hard-working, and treats his subordinates with courtesy. He has a high prestige in Chunan Town and even Chunan County where he later served. He is a subordinate who Yang Zhen values very much and has been cultivating. Unexpectedly, he Just fell away.
Qin Mingyue sighed and said: "Yue'er, the whole matter of Daye's restoration of the country is completely fishy. Sister, go find out what's going on here first, and then make a decision."
"No!" Zhao Yue'er sobbed: "If Xiao Shitou finds out, he, he will definitely be very angry. Chunan County is Xiao Shitou's fiefdom. We must not give up like this. We must take it back!"
"Wait a few more months until Yang Lang comes back." Qin Mingyue continued to advise.
"No! I want revenge now!" Zhao Yuer said stubbornly as she wiped her tears.
"We'll discuss it when Yang Lang comes back!" Seeing that she didn't listen to the advice, Qin Mingyue became slightly angry and raised her voice.
"No!"
"Wait until Yang Lang comes back!"
"No!"
"Zhao Yue'er," Qin Mingyue shouted: "Do you think Yang Lang can't come back?"
"I..." After hearing this question, Zhao Yue'er couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly: "I don't know, wuwu——"
"Sister Qin, I'm really scared, scared of Xiao Shitou, he, he lied to us, wuwu——"
"Little Ling is so scared -" Qing Xiaoling on the side gasped and began to cry.
"We have to believe in Xiao Shitou." Qin Mingyue reached out and held the two women in her arms, comforting her softly. Just as I was talking, I felt a pang in my heart, and two lines of tears fell quietly.
Everything that happened yesterday was still vivid in her mind, and even she couldn't be sure whether Yang Zhen was coaxing them.
They witnessed with their own eyes that the cyan light beam hit Yang Zhen without any hindrance and penetrated into the man's head.
Then, Yang Zhen fell to the ground without saying a word, lifeless.
The girls were frightened and wanted to rush out immediately to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, Yang Zhen had already prepared and had temporarily sealed the small bluestone, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
As they watched in grief, the man's body gradually became illusive, and finally turned into nothingness, disappearing from the place, leaving only a set of clothes disguised as a puppet.
Later, Mu Zixue also left.
A full quarter of an hour later, the seal of the small bluestone was lifted, and everyone rushed out of the space and looked around. Where was the trace of Yang Zhen?
he died?
Or is it true that he will come back in the future as he said?
Everyone was at a loss.
…
Yunxiao Peak
The clouds were thick, the mountain wind was howling, and the sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to collapse.
Yan Xiling stood on the top of the mountain with his hands tied, looking up at the sky, his thick eyebrows knitted together, silent.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight noise around him, and a purple figure appeared behind him.
"A storm is coming!" Yan Xiling sighed, seeming to be talking to himself or to the people behind him.
"What happened?" Mu Zixue asked in a cold voice.
"The Daye Kingdom has been restored, but there is something fishy about it," the ancestor said without looking back: "Over Yuezhou and Qingzhou, the Hai Clan is ready to make a move, and those who come are not good. There is also Shazhou, where the Zi people are stationed. He died suddenly, and Zifu who went to investigate also disappeared. If there is no instigation behind Sha Tongtian, I will never believe it."
"With all these things going on, Brother Yu has a very bad premonition, as if there is an invisible hand pushing behind and targeting our Yunxiao Sect!"
"Who?" Mu Zixue asked.
"I don't know," the ancestor shook his head: "However, the Lord of the Eastern Territory may know something about it, but it's just not convenient to ask!"
"Are you worried about that?" Mu Zixue raised her eyebrows.
The ancestor was noncommittal and turned to look at the woman, with a look of surprise on his face: "You look like this? Have you found the Water of Chaos?"
Mu Zixue nodded expressionlessly.
"That's fine," Yan Xiling asked as if he was relieved of his worries, "So, are you leaving?"
"Um."
"What are your plans for the next few years?"
"My cultivation has declined a lot," Mu Zixue said, "I will devote myself to cultivation in the past few years. When the time comes, I will leave."
"You help me take someone away."
"Inappropriate," Mu Zixue refused directly without asking who it was: "I just let Master Qingshi leave last time. In just a few decades of Yunxiao Sect, if Jin Dan died suddenly one after another, wouldn't it make people suspicious?"
"The sect will soon start a war. It is not surprising that a golden elixir will fall at that time."
Yan Xiling explained, looking at the other party closely with unyielding persistence in his eyes.
"Did you tell her about my situation?" Mu Zixue's face suddenly darkened.
"How many times have you taught her a lesson? She is such a shrewd person, how can she still not see some clues?" The ancestor smiled and said helplessly: "If I don't explain it clearly to her, she will be suspicious and talk nonsense everywhere. It might even be bad. Don't worry, I know it well, and I didn't tell her anything she shouldn't know."
"Is she the one who did the Shenyi Sect thing?" Mu Zixue suddenly asked.
"You, you know?" Yan Xiling looked surprised.
"I can't think of anyone else except her," the woman said coldly, "Is this a deal between you and her? But, why would you do this!"
"That picture," Yan Xiling spread his hands with a fierce look in his eyes: "That sketch of the spaceship left by Zhou Yuan, if it falls into the eyes of an interested person, the consequences will be disastrous. I have to do this."
"Have you never thought about it? If you kill too hard, you may be punished by God." Mu Zixue gritted her teeth.
"As long as I can protect my Yunxiao Sect and keep the people of my country Xu safe, I am willing to go to hell alone." Yan Xiling said with a proud smile.
Mu Zixue was stunned and speechless, and the figure of a man suddenly flashed in her mind.
If it were for the safety of those in Bluestone Space, would he do this?
The answer is no.
He would definitely think of other ways instead of trampling on innocent people's lives.
The quality of character is judged.
An inexplicable sweetness welled up in her heart, as if because the other person was such a man, all her efforts in the past were worth it after all.
Mu Zixue's eyes softened and she said:
"According to our agreement, every three years, I will take away at most one of you. If I take her away this time, next time..."
"Brother Yu understands," Yan Xiling clasped his hands and said, "Junior sister, please make an exception. I will definitely not make things difficult for you in the future."
Mu Zixue was silent for a long time before she nodded lightly.
Yan Xiling breathed a long sigh of relief, a stone fell to the ground, and he quickly bowed his hands to the woman to express his thanks.
"You also need to promise me something." Mu Zixue said.
"Junior sister, please tell me."
"The next person to send off must be Yang Zhen." The woman said firmly.
Yan Xiling's body froze, and his expression suddenly froze.
"You don't know?" the ancestor asked in surprise: "Isn't Zhen'er with you?"
"Now that I have the Chaos Water, I should leave him and go do my business." Mu Zixue whispered with a blush on her face.
"Junior sister doesn't know," said the ancestor with a trace of sadness on his face: "Yesterday, the disciple guarding the soul lamp of the sect came to report that my disciple Yang Zhen, his soul lamp suddenly went out. It should be that he died."
"What!" Mu Zixue's face changed drastically!
"Bang!" The sword in his hand fell to the ground, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, dyeing his chest blood red!
The delicate body slowly fell backward.
"Junior sister——" Yan Xiling was frightened and hurriedly went over to help the woman.
At this moment--
"Crack!" A bolt of lightning flashed across the long night sky.
There was lightning and thunder, and it was raining heavily!
