In Fumo City, the storm is surging.
And in a deserted mountain thousands of miles away from Fumodu.
Steep cliffs and deep valleys. This is the most desolate area in the Western Continent. The demonic energy is thin and the land is barren. Only those humans who avoid being hunted by the demons will travel thousands of miles to come here and hide in the mountains, working hard and hard. of survival.
In this desolate land, there is often no human being for hundreds of miles, and even the wild animals are only in twos and threes, and they are skinny.
The deep mountains and cliffs in the barren land are even more neglected.
Only brown, rough vines grow stubbornly on the cliff.
And among the mountain walls with winding vines, there was a hollowed-out cave. The cave was empty except for a coffin carved from wood placed in the center.
It is said to be a coffin, but it is actually very rough and crude. Strictly speaking, it is more like a tree that was split in the middle and then put together. There is not even a trace of pattern on it, but only the texture of the wood itself.
What’s even more peculiar is that the branches of this split tree are very short and don’t have a single leaf on them, but they still have a fragrance. Even if the branches are split, they still have a vigorous vitality, as if they are still alive. Same.
Suddenly, the split tree began to tremble violently. The invisible wind began to rotate around the tree. A little green light lit up in the center of the trunk, and the veins of the big tree lit up with streaks of golden light. , like the veins of the human body.
Immediately afterwards, all the light gathered in the center of the branches, turned into a dazzling golden and green ball, and then slowly disappeared in the center of the tree.
And this leafless tree, which was originally full of vitality, suddenly began to wither, as if all its vitality had been sucked out.
The surrounding strong wind also slowly settled down. Above the withered tree, cracks cracked and cracks opened. Indistinctly, light penetrated through the cracks and illuminated the middle of the tree.
The trunk of the split tree is actually hollow!
At this moment, there seemed to be water flowing gently inside, flashing with golden and green light, which was also the source of light in the cave on the mountainside.
A faint, seemingly non-existent vitality is gestating in this shimmering golden and green water.
Lingchu set foot in the Demon Palace again one month after the banquet of heroes.
During this month, the Demon-Fudu City was still lively and prosperous, but all demons in high positions knew that the Demon-Fudu City was filled with a terrifying atmosphere during this month.
The twelve demon cities, as well as those cities with high numbers, all sent demon cultivators to Fu Modu and the demon palace to meet with the demon emperor.
The gate of the Demon Palace is also under martial law during this month.
Lan You couldn't contact the demon saint at all, and she knew that this was not a good time to see the demon saint.
Even the Lan family sent the head of the Lan family, Lan Qi and Lan You's father, from Qingjue City.
It wasn't until the head of the Lan family returned to Qingjue City that Lan You contacted the demon saint and set a time to bring Lingchu into the demon palace to pay her respects.
This month, Lingchu stayed at Lan's house and did not take the opportunity to find out too much information. Instead, he and Lan You visited Fumodu from time to time, looking at jewelry, clothes, and eating delicious food.
No matter how old you are, for a woman, admiring beautiful clothes and jewelry and tasting delicious food are both physical and mental pleasures.
Therefore, in just one month, the relationship between Lingchu and Lan You has grown by leaps and bounds. In the heart of Lan You, a little girl, besides the demon saint, Lingchu can already be ranked as the second best friend.
"Her Royal Highness the Saint just seems a bit colder, but her temper is still very tolerant and very generous."
On the way to the Palace of the Demon Saint, Lan You kept introducing the Demon Saint to Lingchu, including her character and even some hobbies.
"However, Your Highness the Saint hates lying the most. If my sister has something that is difficult to disclose, you can just tell her directly. Your Highness the Saint will not mind if you don't reveal it."
I added this sentence because after being together for so long, Lingchu never mentioned his origin. Many demons among the demons were like this, so it was not unusual.
It's just that Lan You is worried that Lingchu will deal with the saint at will. If she offends the saint, she may have less than a few bottles of the Yuli Ambergris that she has longed for.
Lingchu laughed, "Well, don't worry, I'm measured."
While talking, the two of them had arrived at the palace where the saint was.
The demon servant led them directly to the inner room of the saint's palace, instead of the side hall where guests usually meet. Obviously, Lan You did have a lot of face in front of the demon saint.
Lingchu was thoughtful.
"Your Highness."
Lingchu and Lan You bowed lightly. The demons didn't have any big gifts, most of the time they were just ordinary greeting gifts.
Today's demon saint is not dressed up like that day, but is dressed very everyday. She is simply dressed in a dark purple gauze skirt, decorated with gold and silver tassels, with vermilion patterns painted on her collarbones, and her hair is pulled up casually. , also dropped several gold and silver tassels.
Although simple, it is still beautiful.
Seeing Lan You, the cold expression on the demon saint's face became much lighter, with a smile on her lips, "Here you come? Sit down."
As he spoke, he looked towards Lingchu, his eyes stayed on Lingchu for a moment, and then he said with a smile, "Is this the Qingyu girl Lan You mentioned? She is indeed an outstanding demon cultivator."
The demon saint was slightly curious, because she actually couldn't see through the details of this woman. She had a vague demonic aura on her body, but she couldn't feel her specific cultivation level.
It's interesting. Either he has a higher level of cultivation than himself, or he has a unique method.
No matter what it is, it is worthy of her interest.
"I heard from Lan You that you are good at formations? Do you also like wine tasting?" When Lingchu just sat down, the demon saint went straight to the topic, with a faint look in her eyes.
Lingchu was neither humble nor arrogant, and nodded naturally, "Exactly, I am also good at formations. I want to use this to win the favor of the saint in exchange for a glass of Yuli Ambergris."
This was the first time someone wanted to win her a favor, asked for a drink so directly, and looked so calm.
The demon saint was stunned for a rare moment, and then laughed softly. During this period of time, her tired mind from dealing with those old foxes relaxed a lot.
Then, the demon saint half-leaned on the table lazily, with a faint interest in her eyes, "In that case, let me see your formation."
"good."
Seeing the indifferent and confident expression on the woman's face, the smile on the demon saint's face deepened, "Three days ago, a demon recommended a leader in the formation to me. That person claimed to be one year younger. Seniors, no one in the same realm can rival me."
"How about you two compete?"
It's useless, it's even saltier! This time I feel confident, asking for monthly votes, recommendations, rewards, praise, what else can I ask for? (I have the confidence from Wu Geng and my downtime brain. I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’ll start by acting like a coquettish girl and asking for all kinds of things. The Year of the Rabbit is the perfect time to act cute. Hahahahaha, okay)
