“However,” Bai Zhanying changed the subject, his tone becoming a little more serious, “Compared to the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm, which are generally detached from the mortal world and do not interfere with mundane affairs, the four forbidden areas of the Demon Abyss have a stronger control over the four regions.
"Take the Yinling Temple for example. It is divided into five veins: Blood Lord, Evil Lord, Spirit Lord, Demon Lord, and Shaoze Lord. Each vein has its own territory and power. A single vein is almost the same as a sect in the Immortal Realm.
"They view mortals as a resource, and it is common to use mortals for cultivation in their own territory."
At this point, Bai Zhanying gritted his teeth in hatred, "When the Immortal Realm lost a state, nearly two-thirds of the mortals died..."
Luo Xue took a breath of cold air. The monks in the Demon Abyss Forbidden Land were so terrifying...
However, it can be seen from the disciples of the Demon Abyss who have fought before that their spiritual power generally carries an extremely cold and evil aura.
Once hit, the flow of spiritual energy will be greatly hindered.
If it weren't for her maximum poison resistance, even with Luo Xue's extraordinary physical strength, it would be difficult for her to do anything to them.
"Xiaoxue, if you go to the Demonic Abyss, don't harm the lives of innocent people." Bai Zhanying gently warned, "There are also miserable mortals in the Demonic Abyss, not all of them are evil demons.
"I am willing to believe in you now, but if you fall into the abyss... I will personally end this relationship."
She paused, and her voice became a little sad again.
"I just hope it doesn't come to this..."
"No." Luo Xue looked serious, raised her hands and held Bai Zhanying's face, her eyes firm, "Big Sister, no matter what, it will not come to this."
Although she has only been revived for half a month, she has been living with the senior sister day and night for twelve years.
Even if the sect doubted Luo Xue's identity as a demon cultivator, she would stand firmly by his side.
She is the eldest senior sister, and I will always be her junior sister.
Just remember this... that's enough.
Bai Zhanying was held in Luo Xue's hands. He did not struggle, but just looked at Luo Xue quietly.
Suddenly, she laughed.
"That's right," Bai Zhanying stretched out his hand and pinched Luo Xue's cheek, "You are Xiaoxue, the one who has been with me since you were crying in your cradle..."
"... Can you please stop talking about this?"
Luo Xue had a strange look on her face.
It’s always a wonderful feeling to be reminded of my infancy from time to time.
In addition, the appearance of the eldest sister, apart from her deliberately old-fashioned dress, is no different from that of a 28-year-old girl. The more I talk about it, the more I feel guilty...
Hearing this, Bai Zhanying just smiled, but suddenly he thought of something and his expression became slightly serious.
"By the way, although you are nominally going to be a spy in the fairyland, you... maybe don't take on spy duties."
"Why?" Luo Xue asked.
"All the spies in the Immortal Realm... need to find a way to join the four forbidden areas of the Demon Abyss. The Yinling Temple, the Original Cangmu Sect, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and the Demonic Ghost Capital, none of them are good people."
Bai Zhanying said in a deep voice, "The Demon Abyss Forbidden Land is not like the Immortal Realm Sect. It allows disciples to kill each other in the same realm, which is extremely dangerous.
"After entering the Demon Abyss, you'd better find an inconspicuous small sect and mix in casually. Many small sects in the Demon Abyss are weak and will not sacrifice disciples easily."
The gentle smile on her face did not fade, and she pinched Luo Xue's face again, "I will go to see you if I have the chance."
"Um."
Luo Xue nodded in agreement and kept all of this in mind.
Even from my own perspective, these are very worthy of reference.
Controlling the forbidden area of a region is too dangerous, and one will perish if one is not careful.
Her current strength is only at the initial stage of the innate realm, and there is still some distance to the Yunling realm. If she dies prematurely, she will probably be killed again by the Yunling realm assassins when she returns.
Luo Xue doesn't like taking risks, it's better to be safe.
Just do as Senior Sister says.
But...
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Senior Sister. From now on... there will probably be no chance for us to meet again."
Luo Xue looked at her senior sister with a beautiful smile, and her nose suddenly felt a little sour.
After she reaches the Soul Condensation Realm, she must find a way to die, return to her original world, and save her younger sister Lingling's life.
If I have the chance to come back, I'm afraid I won't have any interaction with the senior sister, just like Su Yiyao in my previous life.
The Fairyland and the Demonic Abyss are so vast that it is not easy to meet someone.
"Oh, I think I still have a few Nine-transformation Soul-restoring Pills. I'll look for them and give them to you..."
Bai Zhanying slapped his head, took out the storage ring and started flipping through it.
Luo Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Big Sister, this is a healing elixir for the Jindan stage and above... Xiantian doesn't need this."
"It's okay. I'll put them in your ring for you. This ring was given to you by Master anyway."
Bai Zhanying waved his hand nonchalantly and put all the things into the ring.
Some of them may not even be able to fit into the space of this storage ring.
It can be seen that there are so many...
Unable to refuse, Luo Xue could only take the ring with a wry smile.
Apart from the value of the ring itself, even a casual Yuanying cultivator would be interested in the things inside.
After all, this is a treasure of a Jindan genius from a major sect in the Immortal Realm...
Whether in the Fairyland or the Demonic Abyss, what independent cultivators lack most is resources. No one knows how many resources are consumed in cultivation, and even the Nascent Soul stage is no exception.
Even if you are registered as a priest in a sect, it is difficult to keep up with the speed of consumption.
Therefore, independent cultivators must either master a skill, such as alchemy and refining, or explore various dangerous secret realms in order to obtain resources.
Unlike the cultivators from large sects, who occupy a blessed land, the resources in the blessed land alone are already quite abundant.
Of course, there are also advantages to being an independent cultivator. They are relatively free and not restricted by sects.
Moreover, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, if one wants to join a large sect, one can only do so in the form of offerings and cannot truly enter the core of the sect.
Luo Huaxin is the most typical example. She has even ascended to the position of the leader of Luohuatian Peak among the four peaks of Juexiao, but she does not have any decision-making power in the sect.
"Big sister, why do you have to give me so many good things..."
Luo Xue asked with a wry smile while holding the ring.
Bai Zhanying was silent for a moment, and whispered,
“From now on, no one will be nice to you.
"Big Sister just wants to give you all the good things in the future."
Luo Xue's expression froze slightly, and in an instant, her memories of the past twelve years flashed through her mind.
No matter which scene, the figure of the senior sister can be seen.
"Twelve years," Luo Xue looked at Bai Zhanying and tilted her head. "For Senior Sister, the twelve years she spent with me... was it long, or short?"
Compared with the immortals' lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years, a mere twelve years is really not very impressive.
But these twelve years are Luo Xue’s entire life.
Bai Zhanying's face darkened slightly, as if he was thinking, and then he replied very seriously,
“Sometimes it’s long, sometimes it’s short.”
No matter how long the time passes, it seems that only a moment will remain in my mind.
This is memory.
"But no matter what, I will... keep all of this in my heart," Bai Zhanying said softly, "... forever."
Luo Xue looked out the window. It was late at night and the sky was dotted with stars.
"It's time to go to bed, Senior Sister," Luo Xue said with a faint smile, "Hold me to sleep, like before, okay?"
Maybe there will be no more chances in the future.
Bai Zhanying rubbed Luo Xue's hair and said softly,
"sure."
As night fell, the candles went out.
A graceful figure sat alone on a tree outside the courtyard, holding a wine gourd, looking at the two figures gradually disappearing in the room.
Luo Huaxin has been staying here the whole time, including when Luo Xue was talking with Zou Junxin, she never left.
But...
After a long time, he sighed.
"So, big sects are troublesome, Qiulin. If it weren't for your daughter, I would have continued to be a free and easy cultivator..."
... ...
"Zou Junxin actually dared to make such a decision..."
In the Law Enforcement Hall, the Grand Law Enforcement Elder received the information that Luo Xue was about to become a hidden agent of the Fairyland, and the teacup in his hand was cracked.
Faintly, there seemed to be violent spiritual power emerging around.
But soon, he raised his hand to control the circulation of his spiritual energy, and after calming down a little, he was able to calm down.
"It's still a bit difficult to practice this forbidden secret method by force, and emotions are always out of control." The law enforcement elder exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes narrowed slightly, "But, Junior Brother Zou, do you think that letting go of this magic seed can change the game
"If Mingshuijian had not been so useless hundreds of years ago, the rebellion would not have failed... You would not have had the opportunity to sit in this position, and Juexiao Sect would not have been humiliated by a mere Yinling Temple.
"The war between immortals and demons is inevitable. Without war, the Juexiao Sect will only gradually degenerate..."
The rebellion hundreds of years ago was initiated by the radical faction of Juexiao Sect. With the support of Ancestor Huashen, they attempted to seize power in order to launch the next war between immortals and demons.
Once the Juexiao Sect takes action against the Demon Abyss Sect, the entire body will be affected. The grudges between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Abyss that have accumulated for tens of thousands of years will be ignited again, and the flames of war will inevitably burn across the entire Jiuzhou and the four regions.
By then, even if the Huairou faction came to power again, they would be forced to take on this war.
The radicals believed that only war could make the Juexiao Sect stronger, and that the new generation that had not been baptized by war was too weak.
Unfortunately, the rebellion was ultimately unsuccessful.
But... it wasn't a complete failure.
No one expected that the sect leader who had always treated Demon Abyss with gentle means would actually be a secret supporter of the rebellion.
Unfortunately, the sudden establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall disrupted his plan, and the person who took over the position of sect leader was Xiaoming Peak’s great elder Zou Junxin.
But it doesn’t matter, there is still a chance.
Hundreds of years of planning have gradually undermined Zou Junxin's prestige.
Many elders have secretly said that it was Zou Junxin's weakness and incompetence that led to the decline of the Juexiao Sect. Even the ancestors who had never asked about the sect's affairs were moved to have some concerns.
But, there is still a lack of fire.
Originally, Luo Xue would be the one to start the fire, but Zou Junxin acted swiftly and decisively, and within two days he had completely decided on Luo Xue's use as a hidden pawn of the Immortal Realm, even bypassing the Law Enforcement Hall.
The fire was extinguished.
Having been in charge of Juexiao Sect for hundreds of years does not mean he is completely incapable. At least he can compete with the great law enforcement elder who has been deeply rooted in the sect's lineage for a long time.
"Zhong Bo."
The Great Law Enforcement Elder called out in a deep voice.
In the candlelight, the old-fashioned middle-aged man bent over and said,
"Grand Elder."
"How many hidden agents does the Law Enforcement Hall have in the Demon Abyss?"
"Replying to the Great Elder, there is one Jindan, two foundation building, and sixteen soul accumulation."
The Law Enforcement Elder turned the teacup and said, "Find an opportunity to kill Luo Xue in the Demonic Abyss."
"This..." Zhong Bo was stunned, "Great Elder, excuse me, this doesn't seem necessary, right?"
As the second elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and the confidant of the chief elder of Law Enforcement, he is also a member of the radical faction.
