The thing that Xiong Yanhong regrets most at this point in his life is not that he didn't agree to Wen Su and stay with the Immortal Lord to practice with her, but that he failed to save the old patriarch.
While practicing, he was often eroded by evil thoughts, and scenes from the past kept reappearing before his eyes.
He still remembered that when he was young, he and his brother were bullied by others. His parents felt that their brothers were useless. It was the old patriarch who told him that it takes a little patience to emerge from a cocoon and become a butterfly. His cocoon is thicker than others, so he needs A little more time, and a little more power.
Later, under the earnest guidance of the old patriarch, he became more and more powerful, so powerful that no one dared to bully him.
In order to repay the old patriarch, when the family was in trouble, he resolutely chose to hide in the dark, abandoned his path and became a demon, and removed all obstacles for the Xiong family.
From then on, the old patriarch always let him choose the resources in the clan first. He had a share of all the precious treasures, and even his brother envied him.
He practices magic and has a sensitive identity. The Xiong family needs him, but also hates him. Only the old patriarch treats him consistently.
To Xiong Yanhong, the old patriarch is more important than anyone else.
He didn't practice to become an immortal, he just wanted to fulfill the old patriarch's wish.
Let the Xiong family become the most prosperous family in the nine star alliances!
"Ahem, cough, cough... tell Yan Hong that birth, old age, illness and death are normal conditions in life, and even immortal cultivators are not exempt from it. Tell him, cough, cough... don't worry about it."
Xiong Yanhong suddenly came back to his senses and found himself standing in the Xiong family's backyard, the small courtyard where the old patriarch was resting, and heard the voice coming from the old patriarch's room.
He suddenly couldn't remember why he was here and what he was doing before. Although he was a little confused, his mind was still attracted by the old figure on the window in the dark night.
"Chief, are you really not going to try that method?"
"Ahem, cough, no, I have taken the life-enhancing pill eight times. I am afraid that another disaster will come immediately and wipe out my soul. Now, cough, cough... I have to live for half a year. Let's see again. These kids from the Xiong family."
"But Patriarch, the great medicine refined from human body essence is different from the life-enhancing elixir. As long as someone is willing to expend their cultivation to refine it for you, you can resist for another three years. The Huiyang Fairy Dew has already been developed, you can We can’t just give up.”
"Ahem... no need to say any more, go... go and take all the demon trophies sent from the battlefield this time, ahem... to Yan Hong, and let him pick first ahem..."
Xiong Yanhong clenched his fists while standing in the courtyard. When the old servant serving the old patriarch came out, he walked over without hesitation and asked about the method to extend his life.
He has been able to cultivate to this day because everything was given by the old patriarch. It doesn't matter if he loses some cultivation for the old patriarch!
*
At the entrance of the shrine, the three of them saw that the energy on Xiong Yanhong's body was rushing towards his dantian, and they knew that Jiang Yuebai's plan was complete!
How the dream demon can pry into the deepest obsessions of people's hearts is a talent of the tribe, and no one knows the principle.
The stabbing was done very well, and it hit the target right away, so that even if Xiong Yanhong had doubts, he would never look back.
Moreover, he is seriously injured now, and his perception in all aspects is not as good as when he was in his prime. No clues will be discovered in a short time.
Zhuge Ziying sat cross-legged opposite Xiong Yanhong with a paralyzed face, the surprise in his eyes could not be suppressed from just now to now.
At first, he thought Jiang Yuebai was crazy for daring to think of asking his enemy to make medicine for him to break the barrier.
Even the moment before taking action, he thought it was a fantasy.
But who knew, it actually succeeded!
Just this spirit of daring to think and do, Zhuge Zi should be ashamed of himself.
Jiang Yuebai never noticed the way Zhuge Zi looked at her. She looked behind her at the staircase made of running water that led straight to the sky.
It would take at least twelve hours to refine the medicine. Xiong Yanhong was seriously injured and had consumed a lot of energy and blood before, so it would probably take even longer.
If she waits here, everything deep in the palace will definitely be taken away by Shen Mingjing.
"You go." Zhuge Ziying suddenly said, "I'll watch here. When the great medicine is refined, I will help you put it away and then go find you."
Jiang Yuebai looked at Zhuge Ziying in surprise, "Are you sure?"
Zhuge Ziying pursed his lips and nodded, "I... my injury has not healed yet, so I will stay and look at him while I heal. You go quickly, it is not easy to open the palace, so don't waste the opportunity."
Jiang Yuebai wanted to say that her Yunzhi could even repair Aojuan's original injuries, but could it still cure the injuries and poison on Zhuge Ziying's body?
If it weren't for catching Xiong Yanhong, she would not have given birth to Yunzhi.
Zhuge Zi should be arrogant, but his character is not bad, and he has credibility in what he says and does. In addition, with the current relationship between Tian Yanzong and the Zhuge family, Jiang Yuebai can trust him.
Jiang Yuebai saw through it without revealing it, so she told him to stab his head, and left the soul bottle for Zhuge Ziying to collect souls. Inside was the evil ghost she had caught from the dark side, and stab his head's rations.
Thorn Tou cultivated the Mirage Demon Skill by devouring a large number of evil spirits.
"Feed it every half an hour, and I'll leave this place to you, so be careful."
Jiang Yuebai took out the formation disk of the Hidden Immortal Formation and covered the two of them in the formation.
Just as she was about to leave, she came back and gently took off the storage ring from Xiong Yanhong's hand with her spiritual thoughts.
"I'll keep this thing for now. When I get back to Zhuge's house, I'll divide the spoils... Bah! Divide the spoils."
Zhuge Ziying's eyes twitched, but Lu Nazhi's expression remained as usual. This was very foolish!
Jiang Yuebai happily put away the storage ring, and together with Lu Nanzhi, rushed non-stop towards the inner hall of the shrine.
*
At that time, outside the secret realm.
In the square at the gate of the Immortal Palace, the preliminary rounds of the arena battle have been completed, and the top ten of each level have been determined. After a day's rest, the finals will be held.
Bai Jiuyou sat in the corner, repairing her damaged Yanjia.
Chu Guixi squatted next to him and was cast a silencing spell again. His eyes were bright as he watched Bai Jiuyou dismantle the armor parts.
Bai Jiuyou tilted her head slightly, and Chu Guixi knew what she wanted, so she quickly picked it up and offered it to her with both hands.
Xie Jingshan sighed and shook his head. Chu Guixi had never been so flattering to his master, so sad!
This girl, like Jing Chujun, is obsessed with the art of weapon refining.
After a preliminary round, Xie Jingshan found that the Jiuhe Realm was full of talented people. Compared with their small competition in the Earth Spirit Realm, the monks here were obviously stronger and more professional.
There is no shortage of talented people in the earth spirit world, such as Yun Shang, Ge Yuchan, and He Wangchen, but the environment restricts their development.
It is urgent for Tianyan Sect to take root here, otherwise it will be difficult to make up for the wasted time and energy.
In this fight, the only person who made Xie Jingshan feel that he was acting out of common sense was Bai Jiuyou.
She sat in the corner of the ring the whole time, looking at the jade slips, drawing pictures of Yan Jia, and won ninety-nine games in a row with a tattered Yan Jia.
It's a pity that the last scene couldn't be put together, and her Yanjia was blown away by a boy from the Lou family named Lou Cunming.
Bai Jiuyou was obviously a little surprised at the time, but then she immediately gave in and stepped down.
Despite this, Bai Jiuyou still won the first place in the primary election with an absolute advantage, and his winning streak far exceeded the second place.
In other words, crushing the second place.
Moreover, Bai Jiuyou really gave Xie Jingshan the 'illusion' of facing Jiang Yuebai, looking at the poor Zhuge family disciples around him.
Because Bai Jiuyou did not forget to read in the ring and completed the Yanjia drawings required for next year's assessment ahead of schedule, many Zhuge disciples cursed and secretly held a jade slip in their hands and endorsed it while watching the battle.
When the elders and true kings of other families saw the Zhuge family's disciples being so diligent and progressive, they lamented the Zhuge family's academic style and at the same time secretly spurred their own disciples, making people complain endlessly.
In addition, Xie Jingshan also discovered that the tactics used by Zhuge family disciples in the ring all had the shadow of Jiang Yuebai.
As for the little spider in the Zimu Chain Formation, it must have been made by Jiang Yuebai. Most of the disciples of the Zhuge family are using it. They have tried it every time and many people have been defeated by this Zimu Chain Formation.
When Tianyan Sect and Guiyuan Sword Sect joined forces for a small competition, Xie Jingshan relied on Jiang Yuebai's son-and-mother chain fire formation to break He Wangchen's floating dragon-binding formation in one fell swoop, killing all parties.
That was Xie Jingshan's first highlight moment when he was young. The majesty and pride of that day are still fresh in his memory to this day.
But now, even if he is on the battlefield between the two races, killing thousands of demons with one person, turning the tide of the war, rescuing countless human monks, and being respected by others, it is difficult to regain the pure joy of that day.
Xie Jingshan gave a wry smile and leaned against the stone pillar in the square. His eyes were no longer as green and pure as before. They were only mature after vicissitudes of life and full of worries.
At this time, he suddenly saw a tiny ray of light rushing out from the inside of the Immortal Palace, like a stream of water, quickly rushing into the entrance of the Kun Ruins Secret Realm.
Xie Jingshan stood up straight suddenly. Was that... Wen Su?
Feeling something strange in his intuition, Xie Jingshan left Chu Guiyi in the care of Bai Jiuyou, then disappeared and followed him quietly.
