After Yun Qing went up the mountain, he discovered that there were many more disciples on Moon Watching Peak. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

Almost all of them have entered Taoism, but the inheritance they practice is not the direct descendants of the orthodox ones, but other branches. It seems that they are all newly promoted inner disciples. When these young demon disciples saw a girl like her walking up the mountain in ragged clothes and covered in blood, they all looked sideways, and there were a lot more noisy discussions everywhere.

Yun Qing always liked peace and quiet, and Demon Lord Qian Yuan followed her wishes and sent all the disciples on the mountain to other main peaks. She didn't expect that she had only been away for a few days and the place would become such a mess. Yun Qing felt that the attitude of Demon Lord Qian Yuan had changed. He might want Yun Qing to take on this responsibility, or he might just be simply building momentum for her.

But one thing is unmistakable, Demon Lord Qianyuan will not indulge her like before.

This means that if Yun Qing wants to maintain his previous lofty status, he must start to rely on himself. Demon Lord Qian Yuan clearly gave her the path to becoming the first direct descendant of the contemporary era, and was just waiting for her to step on it. The Demon Saint is just the opposite. He has been trying to prevent her from inheriting the Six Paths of Yama Sect ten years ago, and is only waiting for her to become an existence independent of the Nine Sects.

This time Yun Qing had to make a choice.

The further Yun Qing walked up the mountain, the fewer and fewer his disciples became, and the more surprised the people around him looked. Also, she didn't stay in the sect for a long time. During the rare period of time, she stayed on the deserted Wangyue Peak every day. There were actually very few people who had actually seen her. It is estimated that these disciples who have just been transferred from the outer sect don't know her at all.

When she passed the Canglang Pavilion, she happened to meet the swordsman who was bringing food to the dragon girl. The swordsman didn't react for a while, he paused and opened his eyes wide. There were several young disciples watching beside the pavilion. They didn't know what happened to the usually calm Senior Brother Jianchen, so they all glanced at Yun Qing.

At this moment, Yun Qing's face was horribly pale, but his skin injuries were almost healed. Jian Chen thought the blood all over his body belonged to someone else. His mind was spinning rapidly, and then he was startled. Could it be that the Demon Lord was unhappy when he saw so many disciples when he looked back at Wangyue Peak, so he just killed them all the way up

"Why did the Demon Lord come back so quickly?" The swordsman was about to salute, but was stopped by Yun Qing.

"Well, the sect master ordered the great elder to summon me back." Yun Qing waved his hand and said as he walked up, "I will go to see the master right away. The affairs on the mountain have been busy recently, please excuse me."

The newly promoted inner disciples were frightened half to death by the content of their conversation, and then they realized that the girl in front of them turned out to be Demon Lord Huang Quan. Demon Lord Huang Quan was so fierce that he even killed all his direct brothers. Dealing with them was not as easy as chopping vegetables and melons. They all bowed their heads and worshiped, saying: "Welcome the Demon Lord!"

Yun Qing walked forward indifferently, not wanting to look at these people at all, and Jianchen quickly followed her.

In his mind, he sorted out the relationship between the characters in the sentence "The sect master ordered the great elder to summon Demon Lord Huangquan back." Then he lowered his head and looked at the miserable state of the Demon Lord, and he suddenly felt sad. He choked with sobs and said: "The Demon Lord has suffered. The Great Elder's attack was really harsh!"

Yun Qing was startled and didn't understand the logic of his words.

"My injury was at the hands of a disciple of the Temple of Heaven, and it had nothing to do with the great elder. en8." Yun Qing explained lightly.

The swordsman was stunned and suddenly became confused: "Why did Lu Tiantan go to Beichuan Continent?"

"Summoned by a descendant of Mo Ling."

Every time Jianchen asked Yun Qing, he answered casually. Every time she answered, Jianchen's heart sank a little.

"Then what happened to the direct descendant of Mo Ling?" The swordsman had an ominous premonition. He wanted to know what outrageous things the Demon Lord had done in a short period of time, but he was also afraid of the answer the Demon Lord would give. It was too terrifying and he couldn't bear it.

"I wanted to fight him, but he called for reinforcements before he started fighting." Yun Qing walked faster and faster, and Jianchen followed with difficulty.

"Why does the Demon Lord want to fight with him?" The swordsman asked in confusion.

"Seize the King of Beichuan." Although Yun Qing answered casually, she didn't seem to mind his question very much.

The swordsman didn't understand what the relationship between the Beichuan King Qi and the cultivation of Demon Lord Huangquan was, but looking at her like this, I'm afraid things were not going well. He comforted her: "Relax, Lord Demon, we can still take a long-term approach to the Beichuan matter."

"There is no need for long-term planning. The results will be achieved within half a month." Yun Qing smiled and comforted him in turn, "There is no need to feel any pressure in your heart. These people on Wangyue Peak will be gone soon."

The two of them soon arrived in front of the bamboo forest. The swordsman looked blankly at the blood-covered Demon Lord Huangquan, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said: "I am very lucky to share your worries."

Jianchen knew about the selection of the first successor, and also knew that Demon Lord Huangquan went to Beichuan this time to break through the realm and compete for the position of the first successor. He felt that with the Demon Lord's withdrawn and taciturn temperament, the first direct descendant would not be very attractive to her. But now Demon Lord Qianyuan's attitude is obviously to force her to go up here, and he has even begun to put pressure on Wangyue Peak. It is indeed very difficult for him to hold on while the Demon Lord is away.

He was recruited by the Demon Lord to work as a handyman in the mountain. His own qualifications are not as good as others. In addition, there are no Dharma-transmitting elders on Wangyue Peak to guide him, so his cultivation is more difficult than other inner sect disciples. Although these newly promoted inner disciples could not blatantly confront him due to their status as law enforcement disciples, they were secretly still unconvinced. The swordsman knew that his cultivation was not good enough, so he worked hard to maintain order on the peak while still practicing at the risk of his life.

Everything the swordsman got today was given by the Demon Lord. If he couldn't share her worries, he would feel bad.

What the Demon Lord just said was actually a promise. In order to get rid of these noisy disciples, there is only one way to go except for the order of the Sect Master to send the Yuan Demon Lord - that is, the Demon Lord himself becomes the Sect Master.

At least he must become the established candidate for the next generation of sect leader.

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Yun Qing glanced at him and saw that his eyes were very red, and suddenly laughed, "Why are you crying? It's not like there is no Wangyue Peak anymore."

"Jianchen's coward makes the Demon Lord laugh." Jianchen's voice was hoarse. He felt that all the congestion and anger he had been feeling these past few days had burst out at this moment. He regarded Demon Lord Huangquan as the only master of the mountain, and she immediately had a backbone as soon as she came back.

"Okay, the Great Elder is still waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain. Just hold on for a few days." Yun Qing waved him down, "If anyone makes trouble, throw him down the mountain. If you dare to touch, chop off the hands. If you dare to touch the feet, cut him into pieces. swine."

The swordsman bowed deeply and waited until she disappeared into the bamboo forest before walking towards the mountainside with a solemn expression. His back was as straight as the bamboos in the forest.

Yun Qing quickly changed into white clothes, then adjusted his energy slightly and flew down the mountain.

As expected, Demon Lord Yidu had a dark face.

"Huang Quan was injured too much, so he was a little slow. Please don't blame me, elders." Yun Qing bowed her head and apologized before he spoke. Her appearance made it difficult for Yi Du to accuse him. He has a cold face and a warm heart, and he has never concealed these characteristics, and Yun Qing has mastered them well after several confrontations.

Yi Du looked at her, then flew straight to Yan Mo Tianzi Peak: "Let's go, don't delay."

Yun Qing followed in silence. When the two arrived at the main hall of Yan Mo Tianzi Peak, there were already many people standing inside. The screen used for blocking was removed, and Demon Lord Qian Yuan calmly watched the two people walk in from his seat, only slightly nodding at Yi Du. Yi Du didn't respond at all. He walked forward directly and stood in the first place under Demon Lord Qian Yuan's left hand.

At a similar position to Yi Du were several senior elders, some of whom Yun Qing had never seen before. They must have been hiding in the sect for many years. Those close to the door are the direct disciples of the younger generation, each of whom has restrained divine light and mighty demonic power.

Yun Qing stepped forward and saluted Demon Lord Qian Yuan: "Huang Quan has returned late, I hope Master will not be surprised."

Normally, Demon Lord Qian Yuan would definitely give her a few words of encouragement, but today it seemed that he just took it lightly. He frowned and said, "It's good to come back, then let's start choosing now."

His voice was low and deep, and it was quite intimidating as it echoed in the spacious hall, but Yun Qing was a little surprised when he directly announced that the selection of the first successor had begun. Generally, there must be some rituals to be done before such a meaningful competition, and the disciples also need to make certain adjustments, and they will not start right away.

Not only Yun Qing, but also Yi Du, who had been urging him, was a little puzzled. He glanced at Yun Qing, who was still on his feet, and then took a step forward and asked, "Isn't the ceremony going to be held?"

"There are no formalities in wartime. Let's start right now." Demon Lord Qianyuan closed his eyes and didn't look at anyone else. He raised his hand and waved, and a huge black curtain fell from the sky, directly separating him from everyone: "Demon Lord Yidu, I'd like to trouble you and the elders."

Yi Du slammed the black giant sword in his hand to the ground, and then said in a deep voice: "I understand."

As soon as the great elder spoke, the other elders also said in unison: "I will obey the order of the sect master!"

Yi Du walked out of the palace, the huge black sword in his hand without any edge, but the meaning was as thick and heavy as a mountain. Not only that, when he slammed the sword to the ground, there seemed to be invisible power penetrating under the Yama Tianzi Peak. Everyone felt that the entire mountain range was shaking and trembling.

The sword energy penetrating the heaven and earth emanated from Demon Lord Yidu, and mixed with the vast demonic energy, it enveloped the entire Yama Tianzi Peak. Yama Tianzi Peak was originally a demonic realm where evil laws were rampant, but when aroused by his aura, it slowly woke up like an ancient ferocious beast.

Yun Qing felt as if something in the ground beneath his feet was slowly breaking through the shackles of the rocks, stretching out bit by bit, and then breaking out of the ground.

Just when she was about to use the Heavenly Book to see what was under the ground, a huge Dharma wheel rose up from the ground.

There are six colors on this Dharma wheel, divided into six teeth. Each color is drawn into a dense and complicated pattern. All kinds of monsters look ferocious and lifelike. Ancient beasts and birds are running around in the wheel, but they cannot escape. The front of the wheel is painted with a giant face of Yama. This face is rich in expressions, but no matter how it changes, it is always slightly sarcastic and contemptuous. Its mouth is wide open, forming a dark entrance.

Yi Du glanced at this face indifferently: "The Six Paths Innocent Wheel Battlefield has opened. Huangquan and Guimeng are entering."

Yun Qing and Gui Meng replied in unison: "Yes!"

Then it flew into the mouth of Yama Mo almost at the same time.

The giant sword in Yi Du's hand was struck again.

The ground cracked again, and what rose this time was a huge silver-white wheel, as smooth as a mirror, illuminating all delusions in the world. There is a tightly closed giant eye in the center of this giant wheel. The eyeball protrudes and the fine blood vessels stick to the silver-white mirror surface, which looks particularly weird. Yi Du spread his own demonic energy, and his giant eyes were stimulated and opened. An invisible light shone to the sky with this gaze, and everything it touched was decomposed into spiritual energy. Its pupils are empty, which is where the entrance is.

Yi Du pointed at the eye with his sword, and then said: "The battlefield of Yan Mo Po Wan Lun has begun. Qi Ji and Lin Jun are entering."

The two of them responded and then disappeared into the giant eye.

At this time, there was only one direct disciple left in front of the main hall, that is Senior Sister Su Xin.

Yi Du glanced at her and explained simply: "Originally, we were going to open the Great Sun Black Heavenly Wheel Battlefield, but Qian Bian is dead. You should wait until they decide the outcome."

Su Xin was dressed in black and her face was covered with black gauze, standing like a shadow behind the pillars. She leaned against the huge stone pillar, with a calm expression on her face, and her eyes were as cold as a cold pool. After hearing what Demon Lord Yidu said, she slowly walked out from the shadow in the corner. Her steps were strong and steady, and she really didn't look like a woman.

She sighed softly, and then said: "It's really boring for me to wait. Why don't the Great Elder open the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel Battlefield, how about you and me compared to the last time?"

The voice was slightly hoarse, and it was actually difficult to distinguish between male and female.

When she and Yi Du's eyes met, an invisible wave suddenly surged out. The vegetation within a hundred miles around turned to ashes, and everything ceased to exist. Both of them looked stern.

Yi Du didn't answer indifferently, and just slapped his sword on the ground again. A dark sun rose from the ground, and the black sky descended, isolating everything around him.

He sneered: "Just don't kneel down and beg for mercy when the time comes."
