Nine Heavens.
The Duan family in Zixiao City.
The head of the family, Duan Hong, was drinking alone in the courtyard when suddenly an old man walked in from outside.
Seeing this, Duan Hong hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Father, you are back."
Duan Rong nodded and sat down, "How's it going? Is the Great Elder back?"
Duan Hong shook his head and sighed, "It's been more than nine hundred years. If his soul lamp wasn't still on, I would have thought..."
Duan Rong frowned when he heard this, "You haven't come back after so long. Where is Wuyou Buddha, is he still in Zixiao City?"
Duan Hong nodded, "He's still there. A few years ago, he became the Immortal King, and I went over to congratulate him."
"Has he become the Immortal King?" Duan Rong was surprised.
"Well, I heard that he is only 80,000 years old now. He is indeed the Holy Son of Wuliang Mountain. There is no one in the world who can compare with him." Duan Hong said with emotion.
"It is indeed very powerful, but if you want to compare, I think Ye Chuan Shengzi is even better." Duan Rong said thoughtfully.
"Ye Shengzi also became an Immortal King?" Duan Hong asked in surprise.
"Well, news came from the Xuantian Realm a hundred years ago, saying that Shengzi Ye had become an Immortal King, and that Shengzi Ye was a fellow practitioner of two paths, while Lord Wuyou only practiced the path of cause and effect." Duan Rong said with emotion.
"So, two of the saint sons of the seven major sects have already left the Golden Immortal Realm. Then in this year's competition for the Divine Power Gold List, there may be new talents emerging. It's a pity that my Duan family..." At this point, Duan Hong couldn't help but show a look of resentment.
If Duan Xuan had not died, he might still have a chance to compete for the Shenwei Gold List this time. Regardless of how high he ranked, there should still be some hope for him to be on the list.
But it's a pity...
Duan Rong, the head of the old family, said: "That kid, I will make him pay sooner or later."
"However, our lineage cannot be without descendants. I think you should consider marrying another one..."
Duan Hong was stunned when he heard this: "I am already over 900,000 years old, I'm afraid..."
Duan Rong snorted coldly: "What's wrong with being over nine hundred thousand years old! This age is only half of that for the Immortal King. If you work hard, there may not be no hope..."
Duan Hong:......
the other side.
Yuzhao Mountain.
Yuzhao Mountain is very big. If you have to make a comparison, it may be as big as a fairyland in the first layer of heaven.
Most of Yuzhao Mountain is a flat forest with towering ancient trees and no sunlight in the forest.
Only about one-third of the area is composed of mountains and peaks.
Dragon, Lion and Tiger were really lucky. When he left the cave and wandered around Yuzhao Mountain for decades, he actually found a cave of death for him.
The cave is located at the end of the river at the foot of a large mountain. Go straight into the cave along the river. After about a hundred miles, there will be an open space.
It is full of laws of death suitable for the Immortal King's understanding.
He was so excited that he rushed back and left a message for Chan Bao, then went back to practice in seclusion. He has not yet come out.
Wu De left Yuzhao Mountain alone and went to work outside. Where he is now is unknown.
Lu Li has not yet left seclusion and is still in the Time Palace, practicing day and night.
Over the years, several of his avenues have made good progress.
Perhaps in a few years, he can end this long retreat.
Chan Bao also threw himself into practicing out of boredom.
As long as she practices hard, she will be faster than Lu Li.
Because she is not only blessed with powerful bloodline power, but also has the Ancestral Dragon Inner Alchemy that is rich in Taoist insights.
After these years of hard work, her cultivation has reached the middle stage of Golden Immortal, and she is only a little short of entering the late stage.
…
And just when Lu Li was immersed in practicing hard.
In the Longgan Immortal Realm of Kongming Realm, many missing persons cases occurred.
In several cities, some babies were snatched away by mysterious people just after they were born.
This caused many people to be filled with grief and anger. They gathered in front of the city lord's palace and begged the city lord's palace to capture the thief.
Although the City Lord's Mansion readily agreed, no trace of the thief was ever found.
This caused dissatisfaction among many people, who believed that the City Lord's Palace did not try its best. Otherwise, with the methods of Tianji Palace, how could it not even be able to find a thief.
What these people don't know is.
Their child had been taken to a mysterious place.
This place looks like an underground stone chamber, with a large space and very dark light.
Countless babies were neatly spread out on the ground.
Everyone closed their eyes, neither cried nor fussed, and looked like they were asleep.
There was a middle-aged man in Taoist robes, standing on the stone platform in the north of the stone room, looking calmly at the babies everywhere.
If you take a closer look, you will find that this person is the current master of Tianji Palace, Qiansheng Immortal Lord.
There is a closed stone door behind the stone platform.
At this time, there was a click, and the stone door suddenly opened, and a man wrapped in a black robe walked out.
He stepped forward, took off the jade bottle from his waist, and handed it to Immortal Qiansheng with trembling hands: "Headmaster, there are a hundred people here, which should be enough."
This is a huge crime. No matter how cold-blooded he is, the man in black robe can't help but feel palpitations at this moment.
"very good."
Immortal Lord Qiansheng took the jade bottle.
Then he used a magic formula, and immediately babies wrapped in swaddling clothes flew out of the jade bottle and landed neatly in the empty space in front.
If you count carefully, there are actually 13,000 babies neatly arranged here.
The man in black robe was shaking, whether it was fear, self-blame, or something else...
"You look very scared." Immortal Lord Qian Sheng turned his head and looked at the man in black robe.
"Master, Master Rong Cun, these people are really innocent. If we...do this, I'm afraid..." the man in black robe stammered.
"I know what you're thinking."
"But if these people don't die, more people may die in this world."
"A thousand times, ten thousand times, do you think it is better to sacrifice them or hundreds of millions of people..." Qiansheng Immortal Lord said calmly.
"But, they... are innocent after all." The man in black robe said that he lacked confidence.
"Okay, it seems you still don't understand my good intentions, please step aside."
Immortal Lord Qian Sheng waved his hand and asked the man in black robe to retreat.
Then he spread his palm, and a palm-sized bloody Ruyi appeared on his palm.
It seemed that it was actually the one that Immortal Emperor Jingshan gave to Immortal Emperor Xuanji as a sacrifice to God Ruyi.
Under the control of Qiansheng Immortal Lord, Sacrifice God Ruyi slowly flew towards the center of the baby formation.
Then it hovered in mid-air, motionless.
When Qian Sheng saw this, he uttered obscure incantations, formed a magic formula, and faced the sacrificial god Ruyi from a distance: "Qi!"
Suddenly, the sacrifice god Ruyi trembled, and a dazzling bloody light erupted, covering all the babies below.
And in an instant, tens of thousands of babies opened their eyes one after another, and let out painful cries as if they were being whipped.
At the same time, wisps of blood and soul energy flowed upstream from the bodies of many babies, converging towards the sacrifice god Ruyi.
Thousands of babies cried and struggled together, and the sound was chilling.
But they were too young and had no room for resistance. They could only watch helplessly as their bodies quickly shriveled and shrank...
After less than a quarter of an hour, the baby's cry finally quieted down completely.
Looking around, there were only dry corpses left on the floor of this vast and gloomy stone chamber.
It's so dense that it sends chills down one's spine.
"Sin..."
The man in black robe had empty eyes, as if all his strength had been drained out, and he fell to the ground.
