Tianyin Island is as its name suggests.
Even though the sun is shining brightly outside the island, the sky is clear.
However, the sky above Tianyin Island is covered with dark clouds all year round, and the island is surrounded by a perennial black fog.
Walking on the island, the surroundings are filled with thick fog, and the field of vision is lost if it exceeds a radius of five meters.
Green will-o'-the-wisps lit up from time to time.
Ye Jin and others were startled when they first saw it. After a closer look, they realized it was an ordinary will-o'-the-wisp and breathed a sigh of relief.
In such a depressing environment, even if Ye Jin could burst out with the power of forming pills, he couldn't help but feel angry.
The three of them crossed the jungle cautiously.
After a while, the majestic and tall city appeared in front of the three people like a crawling giant beast.
On the tall city gate, there is a stone plaque with three characters engraved on it: dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air:
Tianyin City!
Wow!
The sound of flapping wings sounded in the air.
The sudden sound startled the three of them, and they looked along the sound.
It turned out that a group of golden-eyed black crows were flying by. In the middle, a black crow with a wingspan of seven feet stared at Ye Jin and the others below with scarlet eyes.
For some reason, Ye Jin saw a different look in the eyes of this black crow.
Ye Jin frowned slightly and flicked out a demonic force with his finger.
The flames condensed and turned into several rockets shooting towards the golden-eyed black crow!
"Quack!"
A harsh and unpleasant crow sounded, and in an instant, several black crows were shot down by rockets.
However, the large black crow that Ye Jin focused on suddenly appeared in Ye Jin's surprised gaze and blocked the rocket with a black light barrier.
"Who is here? How dare you hurt my Black Crow Messenger!"
The black crow landed on the ground, and the black mist flashed, turning into a middle-aged man wearing a dark feathered coat, a hooked nose, and an extremely pale complexion.
The man's eyes were like daggers piercing through the crowd, looking at Ye Jin and the three of them with keen eyes, especially Ye Jin who had just taken action, with a cold look in his eyes.
Ye Jin said nothing and looked at the opposite side with squinted eyes.
Because he didn't feel any evil spirit from the other party just now!
What does this mean?
This shows that the other party is not a demon cultivator.
He is not a demon cultivator, but he can transform into a black crow. Is this due to practicing some special technique?
Ye Jin guessed, but he didn't know the specific reason.
When the man transformed into the black crow, Ye Jin did not turn on the Netherworld Technique to observe. He could only see the spiritual mass in the black crow, but not the man's true body.
Even the root of the Earthly Evil Technique, Tongyou, cannot be seen. It seems that the black crow is also one of the male entities.
Half-demon?
On one side, Ye Jin was secretly guessing, but on the other side, Fu Bo frowned and looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, saying unceremoniously:
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you on Tianyin Island? Where is the old demon Jiyin?"
The Black Crow man's cultivation is not weak. He is on the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion and is only one step away from perfection.
With such strength, Fu Bo would definitely have an impression when he came to Tianyin Island last time.
But Fubo searched his memory and was convinced that the last time he came to Tianyin Island, there was no such troublesome black crow messenger. This made Fubo think about the strange feeling he had at Tianyin Wharf just now, and he had a bad premonition.
When the black crow man heard Fu Bo's question, a strange color flashed in his eyes. Then he put away his hostility and said with a smile on his pale cheeks:
"I am a casual cultivator who just joined Tianyin Island not long ago. He was granted the position of envoy by the master of Jiyin Island and monitors the whole city. There were many misunderstandings just now. Please forgive me."
Fu Bo, however, was not polite to him at all. He frowned and urged:
"Stop talking nonsense, where is the old devil Ji Yin? Call him out and tell Fu Bo to come find him."
The Black Crow Messenger did not move after hearing this, and said with a smile on his face:
"Fellow Taoist Fubo, don't be anxious. My island owner is in retreat at the moment. Why don't we ask the deputy island owner Niu Mo to entertain you all?"
"Retreating at this time?"
Fu Bo frowned slightly and glanced at the monkey demon without any trace. After seeing the monkey demon nodding incomprehensibly, Fu Bo urged:
"Old boy Niu Mo can do it. Call him out. An old friend is coming to visit. Why don't you greet him in person?"
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment."
The black crow messenger smiled and followed his kindness. The black mist turned and transformed into a black crow and flew towards Tianyin City.
Looking at the black crow's retreating back, Fu Bo suddenly looked solemn and said to the monkey demon behind him:
"Lord, something seems wrong."
"What?" Ye Jin narrowed his eyes and motioned for Fu Bo to continue.
"Although Jiyin Old Devil, this old dog, is cunning and cunning, he is selfish and never entrusts Tianyin City to others. Even if he entrusts it to others, he entrusts it to the old devil's confidant Smoker. He is definitely not this useless black crow messenger. I feel I’m afraid there’s some fraud involved.”
Fu Bo finished his guess in one breath.
Li Yan, who was silent on the side, also added:
"Not only that, my subordinates have just been observing Tianyin City for a long time, and found that no one came out of the city, and no one entered from outside the city. It's so weird. It seems that this Tianyin City..."
"It seems like a dead city!"
Ye Jin squinted his eyes and said nothing. In his eyes, the light kept flickering, and the Earth Demon Technique Tongyou kept scanning the Tianyin City in front of him.
Through the Netherworld Technique, Ye Jin could see a group of spirits moving in the city.
This shows that there are still practitioners inside.
But just as Li Yan guessed, the number of these spiritual groups was too small, and it was not the number that a large city should have.
After thinking for a while, Ye Jin said:
"Pay attention to my eyes later."
"yes!"
Fu Bo and Li Yan solemnly agreed.
It was at this time that a hearty laughter resounded through the sky.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"I wonder why the magpies keep chirping in front of the door today. It turns out that Taoist friend Fubo came to visit. There are few visitors. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar. I am so negligent. Please forgive me!"
A ten-foot-tall man with black horns on his head, a bull's nose, and a wild beast in the middle of his forehead flew from the city far away.
The black shadow following the big man was the black crow messenger just now.
"You're such a proud old monster. It took you a long time to invite such a powerful person out. It's really majestic!"
Fu Bo didn't like the Bull Demon at all, and said with a yin and yang look on his face.
The Niu Demon gave a bitter smile, and repeatedly held up his hands and begged for mercy: "Fellow Taoist Fu Bo, please calm down, Lao Niu, didn't I, as soon as I heard the Black Crow Messenger say that you were coming, I hurried out to greet you?"
With that said, he quickly stopped Fu Bo and said enthusiastically:
"Come on, come on! Let's go into Lao Niu's house and have a chat with you, Taoist Fubo, to help you cleanse yourself from the wind and dust."
Speaking of this, he saw the monkey demon and Taoist Li Yan behind Fu Bo again. A strange color flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his original state and asked with a smile:
"Who are these two?"
Fubo looked back at the monkey demon and said calmly:
"They are all my brothers from Yulong Island, fellow Taoist Shan Kui and fellow Taoist Li Yan."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shankui and Fellow Daoist Li Yan. Since they are brothers of Fellow Daoist Fubo, they are also brothers of my Lao Niu. Come on in, please."
With a polite smile on his fierce face, the Bull Demon invited the Monkey Demon and Li Yan together, but his main focus was still on Fu Bo.
Because of Fubo Ningshen's later cultivation, he seemed to be more capable of making the decision among the three.
Fu Bo glanced at the monkey demon's eyes and understood what Ye Jin meant, and walked swaggering at the front, with the bull demon accompanying him with a smile.
Ye Jin and Li Yan looked at each other and followed silently.
As for the Black Crow Messenger, looking at the retreating figures of the cultivators, he walked at the end with a sneer on his lips.
Compared with Chiba City, the layout of the entire Tianyin City is similar to that of Chiba City, but the architectural style is completely different.
Dark, damp, spooky, weird, scary...
All kinds of strange-shaped buildings are like ghosts with teeth and claws, looming in the black mist.
But at this moment, there is a unified tone, deserted.
Very deserted.
The entire street was deserted, all the buildings and shops had their doors and windows closed, and there was no one in sight.
Seeing this scene, Fu Bo asked indifferently:
"Old Monster Niu, when I came to your Tianyin Island last time, there were many people on the island. Why didn't I see anyone today?"
The Bull Demon smiled bitterly when he heard this, and explained rather helplessly:
"Fellow Daoist Fubo, you don't know something. Didn't the tide of coral sea beasts become more and more intense three years ago?"
"Not long ago, a huge wave of beasts attacked our Tianyin Island. Many brothers from the side sect on our island fought in bloody battles for more than ten days, resulting in heavy casualties. Even Brother Jiyin was seriously injured in the beast wave. He paid such a heavy price to survive. We barely managed to repel this tide of beasts.”
"Nowadays, the population of our Tianyin Island is less than 11 at its peak. At the moment, they are all retreating in their respective caves to heal their wounds."
Fu Bo nodded thoughtfully and glanced at the monkey demon beside him from the corner of his eye, only to find that the monkey demon had been staring at the bull demon and hadn't noticed him.
Helpless, Fubo had no choice but to reply:
"So, Jiyin Laomo is in retreat just to heal his wounds?"
"Exactly."
The Bull Demon nodded, then looked at the Black Crow Messenger who was walking at the end of the team, and asked calmly:
"Fellow Taoist Fubo, I still don't know why you visited my Tianyin Island this time? Old Niu, I remember that your Yulong Island is not close to my Tianyin Island, right? If you leave your nest at this time, Taoist Fubo will not be afraid of the Explosive Beast Is it trendy?"
I, Yulong Island has been invaded by the beast tide!
Fu Bo cursed in his heart, but said with a careless look on his face:
"It doesn't matter, I still have other brothers guarding Yulong Island. Without me, I won't be afraid of the beast tide."
"I came here this time for the energy of the netherworld. Brother Li Yan's special skills require a lot of energy of the netherworld. Only your Tianyin Island has the most of this stuff.
Don't hide it anymore, take out all the netherworld energy of your Tianyin Island, spiritual stones are not a problem! "
Fu Bo waved his hand grandly and said in an awe-inspiring manner.
"It turns out it's because of the Netherworld's energy..."
The Bull Demon and the Black Crow Messenger subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes flashing with strange colors.
The Black Crow Messenger shook his head incomprehensibly, and the Bull Demon understood it, and said with a hearty smile:
"It's easy to talk about this. Fellow Taoist Fubo, please wait a moment. Lao Niu will go get it right away."
"Go quickly, don't keep me waiting."
Fu Bo waved his hands repeatedly as if urging him to do so.
This trip to Tianyin Island was originally for the Netherworld Qi. After obtaining the Netherworld Qi, even if Tianyin Island has a big conspiracy, what does it have to do with them?
The Bull Demon cupped his hands and flew deeper into Tianyin City.
Ye Jin Sanxiu and the Black Crow Messenger stayed where they were and waited.
The black crow messenger standing at the end suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the monkey demon, and said with a strange expression:
"I just wanted to ask, fellow Taoist Shankui, you have been watching the bull demon all the way. Could it be that you have discovered something?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly froze.
Fu Bo and Li Yan were wary and looked at the Black Crow Messenger with wary eyes.
Ye Jin didn't change his expression. After hearing what Black Crow said, he chuckled and said:
"What did you find?"
"What does the Black Crow Messenger mean by this? I just think that fellow Taoist Bull Demon is quite similar to an old friend of mine."
"It's you, Black Crow Messenger. Could it be that Tianyin Island has some secrets?"
Ye Jin smiled, but looked directly at the black crow.
