Watching Master Xiaobai leave, before Cheng Yan could turn around, a biting cold wind hit behind her, and she quickly dodged to avoid it. When he turned around, he saw Xun Yan using his hand as a blade and glaring angrily.
"Xun Yan, what are you doing?"
"I heard everything just now, you are actually working with the demon clan!"
Cheng Yan nodded calmly: "I didn't prevent you from speaking, and I didn't intend to hide it from you." She took a few steps forward: "If I said, I want to open the door to the demon world, let the demon clan go back, and let Tianchu regain his peace... "
"What did you say!" Xun Yan's eyes suddenly turned red: "Say it again!"
The muscles all over his body were tense, as if he would take action immediately as long as Cheng Yan confirmed.
Cheng Yan sighed softly: "Do you have a grudge against the demon clan?"
Xun Yan was slightly stunned and shook his head.
"Is it the demon clan that brought you to this point?"
Xun Yan still shook his head.
"You hate the demon clan and cannot allow them to regain their freedom?"
Xun Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head, his excitement gradually calming down.
"In that case, why do you object?"
Xun Yan's red eyes returned to their original state, but he was still angry: "Although I have no enmity with the demon clan, this is the moment of life and death between Tianchu Demon Master and the demon clan. As a Tianchu monk, I should..."
As he said this, he suddenly realized that he couldn't be considered a Tianchu monk at all.
I'm afraid those Tianchu monks regard him as a monster and hate him even more than the demon clan.
His shoulders were slightly slumped, and he looked like he had been drained of energy. He turned around and sat down where Cheng Yuan had been sitting.
After a while, Cheng Yan sat down next to him.
"I didn't hide it from you, just because I think you can understand the feelings of those trapped monsters. Many of them have never made any mistakes, but just because they are monsters, they were captured and locked up in the dark Demon Locking Tower. , tortured day after day, year after year.
The only way to leave the Demon Locking Tower is to recognize the monk as your master and lose your freedom from then on.
I want to bring the demon clan back to the demon world, but I don’t fully stand on their side. I just feel that today’s Tianchu monks regard monster control as their top priority and abandon the foundation of cultivating immortals. In the past ten thousand years, there are very few people who have truly advanced to the level of monster control.
If things go on like this, the situation between the demon clan and the monks will probably get worse and worse, and they will fall into internal strife. This would not be a good thing for Tianchu as a whole. "
Cheng Yuan's eyes were sincere, and Xun Yan stared at her closely without saying a word.
After a long time, he said: "I won't help you."
Cheng Yan sighed slightly.
Just listen to Xun Yan continue: "But I won't stop you. Whatever you want to do, just do it. I hope what you said is true. I also hope that if that day comes, the Yao clan and the Tianchu monks can be at peace. Get along."
Looking at Xun Yan, some pictures vaguely appeared in Cheng Yan's mind.
That was an unsmiling boy when he was young. He was the captain of the escort team and had been quietly guarding Cheng Yuan for many years. It is a presence that does not have a strong sense of presence, but makes Cheng Yuan feel at ease.
"Thank you, Xun Yan."
"Eagle Strikes the Demon Refining Pond of Central Continent in the Sky", a piece of news is like a boulder falling into the water, causing a huge splash of water, causing the already chaotic Central Continent to fall into panic again.
After receiving the news, the city lord of Shangshan City in Zhongzhou conducted a rigorous investigation and secret investigation, and discovered the location of a demon refining pool on an abandoned hilltop a hundred miles away from the way. There are no less than fifty demon control masters imprisoned inside, and these are all monks who have mysteriously disappeared in Shangshan City in the past few decades.
These demon control masters all became medicine men, and most of them lost their minds due to the influence of the demon refining pool and became complete lunatics. Some parts of the body have mutated and are as ugly as monsters. Once they leave the demon refining pool, these monsters will go crazy and their fighting power is amazing, causing the guards of Shangshan City to be seriously injured.
The Lord of Shangshan City immediately ordered the sealing of the Demon Refining Pond and sent high-level demon masters to guard it, making sure to find out the matter.
Shangshan City was in an uproar due to the demon refining pool, and many demon masters in the city were implicated in it, and they were all executed. Then he was instigated by someone with intentions and pointed the finger at the demon clan. As a result, old and new grudges have made the situation between the demon master and the demon clan increasingly tense.
this
It was Cheng Yan who came to the conclusion after reading the news: "Someone is diverting trouble to the east and is able to deflect the blame."
"Do you believe in the demon clan so much? Do you think the demon refining pond has nothing to do with the demon clan?" Regarding the demon refining pond, Xun Yan seemed particularly cold and hard. He was deeply hurt by it and wished he could immediately find out the real culprit behind it and let him tear it apart with his own hands. broken.
Cheng Yuan didn't believe in the demon clan, but believed in His Highness Qi.
During this time, she also sent a message to His Highness Qi to inquire about the Demon Refining Pond, but was told that among the demons under his control, none were related to the Demon Refining Pond.
What’s more, the person behind what happened to Aunt Lan was Yanchu’s master, Mr. Yanqing.
I just don’t know which force is behind Mr. Yanqing.
She was in Zhongzhou, so she couldn't find out about Yan Qing. She just sent Yan Chu a transmission note to let her know some of Yan Qing's secrets in a tactful way.
"The demon clan has no reason to do this. It's not that they can't do it, but most of the demon clan likes to go straight. If they want to retaliate, they won't be so roundabout."
Xun Yan raised his eyebrows: "There are also some demon clans who have stayed in Tianchu long enough and have become tainted with human nature and learned to be insidious and cunning."
"That's also possible."
While talking, the two came to a large square market.
This is located at the entrance of a plain, adjacent to three cities, namely Manor City, Qiyu City and Churniaceae City in Zhongzhou. Because it is at the intersection of the three cities, there are many monks coming and going, and it is like a mobile city.
Due to its large scale, a protective array was set up outside Fang City, so everyone who wanted to enter Fang City had to pay ten spiritual stones.
Cheng Yuan paid twenty spirit stones and entered with Xun Yan. When they entered the city, they found a patrol team escorting a horse demon out.
There was a lot of chatter around.
"It's annoying to say that this horse demon has been hiding in Fangcheng for more than ten years, but no one has noticed it. If someone hadn't used a demon mirror to spot it this time, I'm afraid this demon could still be hiding under our noses. ”
Some people are naturally compassionate: "I have been in the market for more than ten years, and I can be considered safe and sound. If it is not a demon clan, who has a reason to kill him? I heard that this is a spiritual planter, and the spiritual plants he sells cannot be saved. How many monks have lived..."
"Who makes him a demon?"
"Why!"
Some people around him were angry, some were sad, and after some discussion, they went about their own business.
Cheng Yan looked in the direction of the group of guards and followed them without hesitation.
Xun Yan followed her silently until Cheng Yuan followed her to the guard camp, then said, "You're not planning to save that horse demon, are you?"
"I'll see what they do with the horse demon after they capture it, and I'm making a decision."
The guard camp was not far outside Fang City. The horse demon was quickly thrown into a cell. From a distance, it looked like there were several demons imprisoned in it.
Cheng Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
A cold shout suddenly came.
