The bottom of Longtan became extremely quiet, and all the silver fish sank into the seaweed and disappeared.
A man came to Cheng Yuan and put his hand on her shoulder.
Cheng Yan looked back and was slightly stunned: "Are you awake?"
His Highness Qi accompanied Cheng Yan and sat beside the dragon's bones: "You missed an excellent opportunity to kill me."
"Did you hear everything?" Cheng Yan shrugged: "Why should I kill you? There is no injustice or grudge."
"In the world of immortality, sometimes there is no need for a reason to kill people." His Highness Qi said.
"That's an evil demon with a murderous nature. I once read a sentence in a book: Everything in this world has a cause and effect. Back then, you protected me and disobeyed your master's order. From then on, our fate has changed. There is no dispute." Cheng Yan paused and said, "You knew my identity from the beginning?"
His Highness Qi shook his head: "I didn't know beforehand."
Cheng Yan recalled every detail of when she met His Highness Qi in Caishi Valley. His Highness Qi's reaction didn't seem like he knew she was that little dragon, otherwise he wouldn't have treated her that way.
Due to the battle with Liao Shouzuo and others, his spiritual power was excessively consumed. At the critical moment, it was the remnant soul of the Demon Queen in Longtan that brought him into Longtan.
"Why did you let Xiaobai take me to that illusion?"
His Highness Qi said: "That is the illusion left by the broken dragon egg, which allows you to see the past. My Highness does not want you to participate in this battle, so I asked Xiaobai to take you to take the opportunity to avoid it, but I don't want the cause and effect cycle. Let you reunite with your mother."
This reunion is so short-lived, and sometimes losing it again is crueler than never getting it.
Cheng Yan took a deep breath and stood up: "Let's go, let's talk."
…
After landing on the shore, Cheng Yan looked at the changes in Longtan in disbelief.
The originally small pool now expanded into a turquoise lake, with the clear water swaying and shining with little bits of light.
There was no sky in Longtan, and there was only chaos all around.
Now, the sky is bright and bright, as if it has suddenly risen thousands of miles. The snow-capped mountains in the distance are still standing tall. The snow on the mountains is getting deeper and deeper, and there are a few snow lotuses blooming on the top of the mountains.
"Your Highness Qi! When are you going to look for your treasure?" Cheng Yan suddenly asked.
His Highness Qi followed her gaze and saw the snow lotuses. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely return the polar snow lotus I promised you."
"What I want to say is, if you go out on a trip one day, can you take me with you?"
She also wanted to go further afield, but when her cultivation was not strong enough, she could only rely on His Highness Qi.
His Highness Qi thought for a while: "It's better not to think about it before your golden elixir."
Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, okay, she is indeed very busy now, and she still has to participate in the Honghu Competition.
Cheng Yan came to the big stone and sat down, while His Highness Qi made tea as usual. When the fragrance floated out, she said again: "I promised my mother that I would open the door to the demon world."
"This is consistent with our goal." His Highness Qi said.
Cheng Yan understood that the us he was referring to were Master Xiaobai and the group of demons.
And now, this 'us' also includes her.
"Your Highness Qi, what is your, no, our next plan?
If I remember correctly, there are many more Demon Locking Towers in the West Pole. Now that the Demon Locking Towers have been breached one after another, the Demon Masters of the West will no longer take it lightly. "
"So, we don't plan to take action again for the time being." His Highness Qi said.
Cheng Yan nodded: "That's fine. If you go now, you will be falling into a trap. The most important thing right now is how to prevent the monsters from being hunted by the monster controllers."
"You don't need to worry about this. There is a place filled with demonic energy in the Colorful Stone Valley. Ordinary demon masters cannot enter. Xiaobai will lead them to avoid it soon."
Cheng Yuan heard this and thought for a moment: "His Highness Qi is talking about the Demon Realm of the Ten Directions?"
"good."
"If that's where it is, I'm in favor of it."
It was a place that was extremely suitable for monsters to live. Although it is difficult to compare with the real demon world, there are very few places in Tianchu where demons are overflowing. Even now, there are still many demon beasts entrenched there. Demon masters often appear in the periphery, but you dare to go to the demon masters inside. Very few.
Even for Tianchu today, everyone seems to have agreed not to go deep into the Shifang Demon Realm, which can be regarded as leaving a rare piece of pure land for the demons.
The two discussed it and finally came to the conclusion that the status quo should be maintained for now.
Cheng Yuan focuses on improving his cultivation. His Highness Qi is like this, his body needs to be cultivated.
The two of them left Longtan and rushed to the battlefield together.
At that time, a day and a night had passed since Xiaobai and the others started the war.
The war has ended, and there is a mess outside Yaoguang City.
As soon as Cheng Yan and His Highness Qi appeared, Ji Qiuyu and others rushed over.
"Ayun, Your Highness Qi, are you okay?"
Cheng Yan shook his head and noticed that the robes on Ji Qiuyu and others were damaged, and couldn't help but worry: "What about you?"
Ji Qiuyu shook his head: "He was slightly injured. We are all fine. It's just Mr. Liao."
Cheng Yan glanced at His Highness Qi: "How is Chief Liao injured?"
"It's not good. That day, I was chasing the Jade Lin White Jade Demon, but I was seriously injured and almost didn't come back. It was the City Lord of Yaoguang City who found him. Now he is still in seclusion in the City Lord's Mansion to heal his injuries."
"I didn't expect that the Jade Lin White Jade Demon was so powerful. No wonder it was able to escape from the Central Continent Demon Locking Tower." Yan Chu said.
Cheng Yan secretly held his forehead, Xiao Bai was not so powerful, it was His Highness Qi who took action. If His Highness Qi hadn't exhausted his spiritual power, Chief Liao's situation would have been even worse.
Cheng Yan didn't want to discuss this in front of them, so he quickly said: "Where are those monsters?"
"After the first chasing Jade Lin White Jade Demon left, those monsters all retreated. The demon control masters were leaderless, so they did not pursue. Many disciples were injured, and you came back just after we finished our work. You were killed by that Jade Lin White Fish before. The demon took him away, and we thought——" Ji Qiuyu took a deep breath and hugged Cheng Yan: "Fortunately, you are fine."
The next moment, a hand held Cheng Yu's neck and pulled her out of Ji Qiuyu's arms.
Cheng Yan and Ji Qiuyu looked at each other.
Probably feeling that he was confused, His Highness Qi touched his nose and said, "Let's go."
"Why did he follow you back?"
"That's Sister Ah Yun. How did you come back? Just now I saw His Highness Qi looking at you strangely."
"It's not fun to say that you don't know who he is." Cheng Yuan quickly stopped the gossip between the two.
Ji Qiuyu and Yan Chu said in unison: "We know."
"Got it?" Cheng Yan was extremely surprised.
His Highness Qi's demon clan identity is known, wouldn't he be in danger now?
"Qi——"
"Ah Yuan, don't worry. Even if we find out that His Highness Qi is from the Commandment Hall, we won't tell anyone." Ji Qiuyu quickly stopped Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan said 'ah': "This is what you are talking about."
She almost forgot that His Highness Qi was introduced to the sect by the Yin Elder of the Commandment Hall.
"Otherwise? Ah Yun, does His Highness Qi have any other identity?"
Yan Chu came over immediately, his eyes brightening: "Is there something ulterior motives?"
"No, no. I didn't expect you to even know this. Apart from you, does anyone else know?"
Ji Qiuyu and Yan Chu looked at each other and said with a smile, "The whole sect knows about it."
"Ah?!" Cheng Yan was stunned.
