When Song Xiaoting stopped, she was already a hundred meters away from Chu Xiang. When she turned around, Chu Xiang was already in danger. In a hurry, the bronze sword in her hand bloomed with dazzling golden light. Song Xiaoting slashed with the sword, but the target was not the pursuer. The sword light came from Chu Xiang passed by, just diagonally separating the space between the pursuer and Chu Xiang.
Song Xiaoting cut off the world connected by the opponent's mantra with one sword. Chu Xiang immediately broke free from the shackles. The sword intention moved again, and the sword energy surged toward the pursuer a hundred meters away.
The mantra uttered from the pursuer's mouth again, countless sword energy collided with the invisible barrier and could not advance even an inch. Chu Xiang's thoughts changed again, and the sword energy fish gathered together, and they attacked forcefully, hoping to break through the face.
The sword energy surged continuously, but it could not break through the invisible barrier. The mantra came out of the pursuer's mouth again, and suddenly there was a burnt smell in the air. The dense electric light gradually became clear, covering several miles around. Chu Xiang was shocked, and the protective energy burst out. After pushing away the surrounding air, the demonic energy spurted out, and the sword intent enveloped the whole body, rushing towards Song Xiaoting. In the next moment, thunder and lightning appeared out of thin air, covering several kilometers in radius, with lightning everywhere, and nothing could be seen in the vast whiteness.
Just when the electric light was shrouding, a dark cloud on the top of the mountain in the distance expanded rapidly. In an instant, it was already covering the sky and the sun. In a blink of an eye, it came closer and enveloped the entire area shrouded in electric light.
Unexpectedly, someone really came to save Chu Xiang and the two of them, and he was a member of the Demon Clan, a master of the Demon Clan at the peak of the Void Realm. The pursuer's expression changed slightly, and he knew that there was nothing he could do. He immediately pulled away and flew away, disappearing in a moment. The distant sky.
The black clouds quickly closed up, revealing Song Xiaoting's figure. Seeing Song Xiaoting's appearance, Chu Xiang was shocked. In a state of panic, the devilish energy all over his body was running around uncontrollably.
"Be still." A voice shouted from the black cloud.
Chu Xiang was shocked when he was scolded by Mo Yun. He quickly gathered his mind and adjusted his breath to return to his original state. If Mo Yun hadn't woken him up, Chu Xiang would have gone crazy and become insane.
After a moment, Chu Xiang calmed down the chaos in his body, stretched out his hand to touch Song Xiaoting's pulse gate, and suddenly lost all color.
"Senior, please help." Chu Xiang gently helped Song Xiaoting kneel down on one knee.
Song Xiaoting's clothes were all charred, her surface skin was all charred, her ears and nose were charred, only a weak heartbeat was left, her breathing was almost non-existent, and she had long lost consciousness.
"I can't do it either. I need to ask the Demon Lord to give me a method." Heiyun said.
"Senior, please contact Demon Lord." Chu Xiang said.
After a while, a vague voice came from nowhere: "I can save her, but the price is high."
"Please tell me clearly, Demon Lord," Chu Xiang said.
"In the future, you must devote yourself to our demon clan."
Chu Xiang was silent. Song Xiaoting was very important to him, but if he was allowed to help the Demon Lord bring trouble to the world, it would go against his original intention. How could he agree to it?
"I know you will definitely refuse. It doesn't matter. I won't force you. You can send her to Emperor Qin's Mausoleum. The people of the Fifth Family will have their own ways to keep her alive."
"Thank you Demon Lord for your guidance." Chu Xiang said gratefully.
"Tong Meng, send them to Qin Ling quickly."
"Yes." Heiyun responded.
"Thank you Demon Lord for your help." Chu Xiang said.
Black clouds rolled up Chu Xiang and Song Xiaoting, and they were riding in the mist. Not long after, they arrived outside the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
"Take her in." Heiyun said.
"Thank you, senior." Chu Xiang said solemnly.
"No need to thank me, I'm just following the Demon Lord's orders."
"This junior will repay this kindness in the future." Chu Xiang said, not daring to delay, and carried Song Xiaoting into the imperial mausoleum area.
Chu Xiang knew that the Demon Lord must have calculated that someone was going to kill him, otherwise the devil Tong Meng would not have come so quickly. He wanted to deliberately sell his favor to him, but whether it was intentional calculation or ulterior motives, it was the result that saved both of their lives. It is an indisputable fact that if the Demon Lord had not rescued them, the two of them would have died by now.
Three old men from the fifth family were sweeping the floor, weaving baskets, and collecting firewood. Before Chu Xiang could speak, Song Xiaoting's body had floated towards the old man who was weaving baskets. The old man put his hand on Song Xiaoting's hand. The ground suddenly rose, and a mouthful of sandalwood emanated from it. The fragrant sandalwood coffin broke out of the ground. The old man put Song Xiaoting into the coffin and closed the coffin lid. The coffin sank into the ground and disappeared, and the ground returned to flatness, as if it had never appeared before.
"This place can keep her alive for ten years. It's up to you to save her. When the owner of the water power in you understands the source of life, he can reshape her body." The old man weaving the basket said slowly. .
Chu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief knowing that there was a cure. The power of water element is undoubtedly Wen Yiyuan. He understands the source of life, but he doesn't know what state it is. Ten years should be enough for Wen Yiyuan to understand. Even if Wen Yiyuan doesn't understand, if he goes to the Demon Lord to take action in a few years, he should be able to afford the price he needs to pay.
"Thank you three seniors." Chu Xiang bowed and saluted, saying gratefully.
"The Demon Lord has changed a lot in recent decades. Don't worry too much about his random behavior. If it can change the Demon Clan's behavior, that would be a good thing." The old man sweeping the floor said slowly.
Chu Xiang nodded and asked: "Senior, do you know the origin of the Demon Lord?" The Chinese text in his pen
"I'm afraid the only one who knows his origin is the First Emperor." said the old man sweeping the floor.
Only the First Emperor knew it. It seemed that the Demon Lord was probably an old demon of the same generation as Ji Meng and other demon gods. The three old men were still helpless to deal with Song Xiaoting's injuries. The Demon Lord was able to heal her, so his methods were obviously superior. Even though someone as strong as Ji Meng was imprisoned by the First Emperor's demon heart, the Demon Lord was able to protect himself. It seems that the Demon Lord is at least on the same level as the First Emperor. I don't know what he wanted to do after lurking for thousands of years.
"Thank you three seniors, I will say goodbye." Chu Xiang bowed and left the imperial mausoleum.
With the help of powerful people from the fifth family, who can guarantee Song Xiaoting's ten years of survival, there is no need to worry about her life being in danger. If there is really no other way, the worst is to find the Demon Lord to take action, which makes Chu Xiang feel much relieved.
After leaving the imperial mausoleum, Chu returned to the south. He was not worried about another conspiracy. He knew that the demon king would definitely arrange someone to protect him secretly, otherwise he would not let the demon envoy come to save him.
The journey was safe and uneventful. Chu Xiang was still dozens of kilometers away from Jiangwu Mountain when he felt the aura of the superior demon envoy Riya. The demon lord arranged for the superior demon envoy to be stationed in Jiangwu Mountain. Apparently, he wanted to sell him a favor and use Jiangwu Hall to do so. power to achieve his purpose.
The construction of Jiangwu Mountain has been completed. Various buildings are arranged according to the terrain and are well-proportioned. There are basically no reinforced concrete buildings. They are all made of civil engineering and look ancient.
There is a small river not far from the foot of Jiangwu Mountain. The river bank is the limit of Jiangwu Hall. Jiangwu Hall has built some simple thatched houses by the river, which is divided into two parts: Jiangwu Pavilion and Wushu Field. There is a Jiangwu Hall at all times. The masters were teaching martial arts in the martial arts pavilion day and night, while in the martial arts arena, people with low cultivation levels were discussing martial arts.
Chu Xiang did not show up, and went directly to the top of Jiangwu Mountain, where the demon envoy Rugai was sitting on the roof of the highest wooden house.
"Senior Liyan, long time see." Chu Xiang said with cupped hands.
"I've seen a lot of people who follow the wind, and you are the first one to leave no trace." He said, his voice was vague, but he still couldn't see his true face clearly.
"I'm a slave to you and I'm a fish. There's nothing you can do about it." Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"The Demon Lord asked me to guard the door for you, but you didn't say anything?" said the demon envoy.
"Senior, if you're bored, why don't you tell us about cultivation." Chu Xiang said.
"It seems that I still underestimated the thickness of your face." The demon envoy sighed.
"I don't have any seniors here that I like. I have nothing to do all day long, so I might as well teach the children. When everyone mentions it in the future, they will definitely not forget the guidance of senior Riyai." Chu Xiang said.
"It's okay for me to be a free laborer, but you owe the Demon Lord so many favors, how are you going to repay them in the future?" said the demon envoy.
"We'll talk about the future later. Maybe the Demon Lord is magnanimous and won't argue with me." Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"I hope so." The demon envoy said.
"I still have something to deal with, senior, please help yourself." Chu Xiang said with cupped hands.
Going down to the Jiangwu Mountain Conference Hall halfway up the mountain, the positive and negative ministers of each department were already in place. Chu Xiang sat down at the main seat and glanced at everyone. They all made progress and seemed to be not slacking off.
"This is the first time I have called you to a meeting. The Martial Arts Hall relies on your support to be what it is today. Thank you for your efforts." Chu Xiang said.
Before anyone could say anything, Chu Xiang continued: "Now that the situation has changed, Jiangwu Hall can no longer act in the same direction as before. You have all seen the new strategic plan, so I won't say more. Remember, we are all Ants, you can't slack off even a little bit, slacking off is death. Now we still have a chance to change. Within two years, if any of you haven't reached the virtual realm, then go to the Nansha Islands to feed the fish. It's better than you being killed by others. Kill them like chickens.”
Hearing the plain words, people felt a surge of rage in their hearts, and everyone was horrified. Yes, they were all ants. Although the martial arts hall was very big, compared to the great masters of Hedao, they could be crushed with just one finger. existence, they immediately put away their complacent mentality.
"Cheng Huan." Chu Xiang called.
"My subordinate is here." Cheng Huan stood up and said.
"The Cunning Rabbit has three caves. Now we only have one nest here. I also need two other spare nests. Make a plan as soon as possible." Chu Xiang said.
"Understood." Cheng Huan said.
"Within one year, I only give you one year to complete the two nests." Chu Xiang glanced at the crowd and said.
"Yes, Hall Master." Everyone responded.
"Don't take chances. There is no element of luck. Three years later, Kunlun will come, and there will be chickens and ducks under the virtual realm, not to mention the group of unpredictable demons. The great master of Hedao, let alone take action, just stand there. I can crush you to death. Some of them have experienced the War of Goryeo. If you don’t believe it, you can ask them." Chu Xiang pointed to several ministers who had experienced the War of Goryeo.
Naturally, everyone had discussed the situation of the Battle of Goryeo. At this time, Chu Xiang mentioned it again and how could he dare to relax again.
"Jiangwutang is very strong compared to other gangs, but you have to understand that Jiangwutang is just a frog in the well, and other gangs are also frogs. You must always look at the sky outside and aim at tigers, leopards, eagles, and falcons, not The strongest frog is the goal. Whichever level you focus on, you can only become a person at that level. The martial arts hall is not the end, but just the beginning. The reason for breaking it into parts is not because you are afraid of being caught in one fell swoop, but to allow each of you to Individuals can grow into strong individuals who can stand on their own, instead of being a frog attached to a martial arts hall."
After discussions with Cheng Huan, Dou Yonghua and others, Cheng Huan came up with a plan that was divided into parts. All the personnel in the martial arts hall were divided into teams of five, except for leaving dozens of people at the entrance of the Wucheng hall. , only two to three hundred people were left in Jiangwu Mountain, and the others all dispersed and took root in various places.
In addition to scattering into the area around Wucheng, Cheng Huan also chose a very special place - Taiwan Island, and allowed 300 teams to enter Taiwan Island, gradually eroding the local strength of Taiwan Island, developing and growing, and operating as a retreat for martial arts halls. .
