Liu Caichun was thrown into the Wangchuan River by Jiang Qi, and it was only when he was almost choked to death that he felt the water leading him towards the Underworld Temple. en8. He landed awkwardly on the cold stone ground, feeling the delicate lines spreading and squirming where his face was next to him.
"The Anran Spirit Demon Sect has also arrived..."
The voice of Lord Huang Quan was particularly clear in this silent palace. Liu Caichun quickly stood up from the ground, but before he could stand up straight, he saw Jiang Qi falling from the sky, and this guy landed on his back. Liu Caichun was almost injured internally by her, and it took a lot of effort not to scream.
While he straightened his clothes, he quietly observed his surroundings. The temple was eerily quiet. There were two or three dark shadows not far away. They should all be the South China Sea Demon Dao summoned by Demon Lord Huang Quan. Demon Lord Huang Quan stood in the center, the edges of his black robes covered with blazing fire, but Liu Caichun could still see her An Ran expression clearly as expected.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Jiang Qi jumped off Liu Caichun's back with a smile, "A Qi is back!"
Yun Qing nodded and smiled at her: "I'm sorry."
Liu Caichun's cultivation was poor, and it was really difficult to cross the Wangchuanji River and reach the Huangquan Temple, so Jiang Qi could only lead him down.
"Does Your Majesty need A Qi to do anything else?" Jiang Qi's eyes were wet and stuck to Yun Qing. Liu Caichun could see goosebumps all over his body, but Yun Qing still looked normal.
She waved her black robe lightly, and the black flames brought out a spark: "Step back. If there is anything important, I will give you the order."
Jiang Qi shook his head vigorously, holding the hem of his skirt tightly with both hands, and said coyly: "A Qi wants to stay with the Venerable, so he can do nothing."
Yun Qing looked at her for a while, then considered: "Then you'd better do something."
Liu Caichun burst into laughter. He saw Yun Qing mouthing Jiang Qi's lips, but he didn't hear a sound. He must have given the order through a voice. Jiang Qi had a strange expression after hearing Yun Qing's words. She seemed to find it incredible, but she immediately became excited again, and the flush on her cheeks spread to the back of her ears.
"Follow the Holy Lord's orders!"
Jiang Qi screamed and disappeared between the water curtains. In the blink of an eye, only Yun Qing and the few Nanhai cultivators were left in the Huangquan Temple. She gently said to a few people: "Actually, it's not a big deal to gather everyone together today, it's just to get to know each other."
Liu Caichun and several others laughed, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Uh, I'm Liu Caichun, the leader of the Anran Spirit Demon Sect."
Seeing Liu Caichun speak, a dark figure quickly added: "It turns out to be the Anran Spirit Demon Sect who is about to enter the Wuhuang Demon Realm. Congratulations! Fu Zhihui, a poor Taoist, has long admired his name."
The other two people were also surprised, because Liu Caichun seemed to be very weak in cultivation, and he had to be carried by the people from the Deceiving Heart Demon Sect to even get to the Underworld Temple. They looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Please take care of me from now on, Master."
"Sect leader?" Liu Caichun stared at the other person for a long time with his eyes wide open. No matter how he looked, he was just a black shadow. He shouldn't be from the Anran Spirit Demon Sect.
Yun Qing coughed, and everyone's attention turned to her. She said slowly: "These are the leaders among the casual cultivators in Nanhai. They have their own strengths in cultivation. From now on, they will be under your control." He has become an elder. "Elegance* Wen* Yan*qing* first* hair"
Liu Caichun swallowed. He felt that he had come into contact with a world that he had never dared to think about before. With just a few words from that person, those who used to call the shots in the South China Sea would bow to him respectfully and had no choice but to obey. He cleared his throat and replied politely: "You guys don't need to be polite. We should help each other and share the worries of His Holiness."
This flattery was so stiff that the others laughed dryly for a while and responded vaguely: "Yes, yes, the sect leader talks a lot!"
Yun Qing didn't have time to talk nonsense to them, but his attitude was as patient and gentle as ever: "Now that we have entered the realm of Wuhuang Demon, I would like to ask a few of you to pay attention to the matter of clearing out the rebels in the South China Sea. Time does not wait..."
"Yes!" Liu Caichun replied immediately, "Well, should we send people with the army to destroy the rebels now?"
This is the basic idea of Yun Qing and the Demon Saint to clean up the Destruction Demon Sect, use the Annihilation Demon Sect to replenish the power of the Wuwu Demon Realm, and then wipe out the scattered cultivators in the South China Sea to maintain the stability of the Dao Fruit. Pulling the Anran Spirit Demon Sect into the Wuwu Demon Realm can not only weaken the Nanhai Rogue Cultivators and make the eradication process faster, but also maintain the internal stability of the Wuwu Demon Realm within a certain period of time, so that other sects will not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, the Anran Spirit Demon Sect is a key part of the entire plan. Yun Qing summoned these people this time mainly because he hopes that they will realize this.
Yun Qing smiled at him: "Don't rush now, let's wait until you settle down in Wuwu Demon Realm. The mountain gate of Anran Ling Demon Sect has been decided. It is at the source of Wangchuan River and on the former site of Destruction Demon Sect. Speaking of this… "
Yun Qing's expression was slightly solemn. She paused and said, "Jumang established a divine realm in the inner valley of the Destruction Demon Sect to trap the Flawless Demon Lord of the Destruction Demon Sect. Please don't trespass."
"Understand, understand, I will naturally proceed with caution."
Yun Qing seemed very satisfied. She put her hands into her sleeves and said softly: "After the sect is settled, you can go out with my army in the demon realm. If the progress is faster, the saint will be satisfied."
Liu Caichun knew what she was implying. This was a good opportunity to show his loyalty in front of the saint. After all, the Destruction Demon Sect has moved their position, and the Anran Spirit Demon Sect may not be able to reach the level of the Destruction Demon Sect in the past, so it is best to use practical actions to make the saints have a slightly better impression of them.
"Yes!" Liu Caichun lowered his head, watching the slow movement of the magic patterns on the ground, and solemnly replied, "I will certainly live up to His Majesty's expectations."
Several other people quickly answered: "I will certainly live up to His Majesty's expectations."
Yun Qing turned around and walked towards the temple's pillars painted with magic patterns, waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, step back."
Liu Caichun and the dark figures looked at each other in confusion. Until everyone else left, he still stood there alone.
Yun Qing naturally felt it. She turned around and asked, "What else is there?"
It was very dark in the temple. You could barely see the other party's expression if you were closer to the water curtain. Liu Caichun couldn't use Taoism to detect it, because once he opened his eyes, he could only see the soul-devouring demonic flames. . He tried hard to distinguish Yun Qing's tone and found that she was just confused, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Excuse me... how to get out?"
“…”
Jiang Qi had carried him down before, but now he didn't know how to go back alone. Liu Caichun felt that it was really embarrassing for him to commit such a stupidity in front of his new master.
Yun Qing was silent for only a short while, and she quickly replied: "You can practice here for a while, and then leave when you have reached your cultivation level."
"Ah?" Liu Caichun looked at Yun Qing in disbelief for a long time, unable to close his mouth at all. This idea was completely beyond his expectation. Jiang Qi was definitely not as good as Huang Quan, but she could easily send him down from the top, so why couldn't Huang Quan raise his hand to get him back. Could it be that this Huang Quan just seems to be lonely, but actually wants someone to accompany her
"It just so happens that I can grant you the complete inheritance of the Anran Spirit Demon Sect." Yun Qing said calmly.
Liu Caichun hadn't recovered yet: "Many, thank you very much."
He thought Huang Quan would directly take out a book or jade slip rubbings, but she did nothing. She walked between the pillars, caressing the tiny and delicate magic patterns, and slowly visited every place in the Underworld Temple step by step.
Liu Caichun was very curious, and Huang Quan seemed to be easy to talk to, so he asked directly: "What are you doing?"
Yun Qing replied while exploring these magic patterns: "Looking for you."
Liu Caichun: "..."
"When your cause and effect is connected to the Wuwu Demon Realm, your magic pattern will appear in this temple. We can tell from the magic pattern whether you are a direct descendant or an ordinary disciple. Only the direct descendant status can be granted the orthodox inheritance. Unfortunately, the Anran Spirit Demon Sect was also orthodox a hundred thousand years ago."
Liu Caichun had known about the various miraculous rumors about the Huangquan Temple for a long time, but he did not expect that the fate of the entire Wuwu Demon Realm was written on this temple: "The ancient power is really amazing, and this temple doesn't know it either." How was it made..."
Yun Qing looked for it carefully while dealing with Liu Caichun: "This is the residence of Huang Quan of the previous generation, so it is natural to have supernatural places."
Liu Caichun calmed down and thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong. It would be strange for him to be a direct disciple with his ghost qualifications, but Huang Quan seemed to have no problem granting him the orthodox inheritance. He couldn't help but ask: "What if I am not my direct disciple?"
Yun Qing didn't answer. At this time, she had already gone deep into the Underworld Temple. Liu Caichun could only vaguely see her back, and couldn't even hear her footsteps, which was extremely strange. Liu Caichun did not continue to ask without knowing it. He watched Huang Quan's movements nervously and saw her pale fingertips resting on a winding and narrow line. This line had few intersections with other magic lines. Seems rather marginal.
As soon as her fingers rested on the magic pattern, Liu Caichun felt as if his heart was being strangled, and unspeakable fear surged up. It was a fear that life and death were not under his control. Yun Qing took back his hand, turned around and said to Liu Caichun: "I found it, there's no big problem."
Liu Caichun was already covered in cold sweat: "No, no problem."
Yun Qing stared at this magic pattern for a while, as if he was calculating something, but finally he put down his hand and recited the incantation in a low voice: "The crime will be cut into the body, and the mind will be punished."
Liu Caichun felt that as soon as her words fell, the entire Huangquan Temple shook, and he fell to the ground on his back before he could stand still. He touched the back of his head and was about to stand up, but suddenly an indescribable monster hit his eyes.
A hand as huge as the sun stretched out from the dome. The muscles in the hand were as well-structured as if they were carved by a knife. The upper arm is even more knotted with muscles, and at a glance it looks like a pile of rocks like a cliff. The ten fingers are all claw-shaped, and the nails stick out like sharp swords, and there is a faint dazzling cold light. This arm carried incredible magic, and the power to destroy everything pressed down from the dome. Liu Caichun felt that his legs were weak and he could not stand up.
Still stretching his hand forward, Liu Caichun quickly saw the whole thing. It was a demonic body as towering as a mountain.
Its skin was dark and shiny, with dark golden scales attached between its chest and abdomen, directly connected to its muscles, as if growing out of flesh. Its face is similar to that of a human, it is mighty and domineering, its eyes are filled with magic light that penetrates the world, and everything it sees turns into nothingness. The demonic body carried two wings on its back, with two horns on its forehead, and its face was covered with dense demonic patterns. The demonic patterns were exactly the same as those in the Underworld Temple. Liu Caichun wondered if they were imprinted on his face when it came out of the dome.
When it is fully exposed, the entire temple can only accommodate it. This kind of accommodation is not like that of chickens and ducks being locked in a cage, but rather like a person living in a house. The Underworld Temple is extremely majestic, and part of it has sunk to the bottom of the water, so it looks smaller than it was a hundred thousand years ago. Liu Caichun felt that such a huge demon body really had to live in a spacious place like the temple.
The demon body approached Yun Qing step by step and stopped in front of Liu Caichun's demon pattern.
Yun Qing stepped aside, and the demon body lowered his head hard and slowly stretched out his fingers. Its nails were as sharp as a sword, but they were too thick compared to the delicate and delicate magic patterns. Liu Caichun suspected that it could stab him to death directly.
But the demonic body didn't. Its movements were frighteningly precise, and each stroke accurately landed on Liu Caichun's demonic patterns, making various rigorous and precise changes. Liu Caichun was stunned. It took him a long time to realize that the movements in Yun Qing's hands were exactly the same as those of the demon body. This thing was controlled like a puppet.
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Caichun felt that his mind was suddenly in a trance, but it immediately became clear again, and his spirit became clearer and clearer than ever before. He was so surprised by his own changes that he didn't even notice that the huge demonic body had climbed up the dome and disappeared.
Yun Qing raised his sleeve and wiped the magic mark, and then said to Liu Caichun, who had not yet recovered, "Okay, I will now grant you the orthodox inheritance of the Anran Spirit Demon Sect."
Liu Caichun was excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty... But can I really practice the orthodox inheritance?"
Yun Qing walked towards him: "You are now a direct disciple."
Liu Caichun remembered writing and drawing on the lines on the devil's body just now: "Is that changing one's fate against the will of heaven?"
"Who can defy the odds?" Yun Qing chuckled, "It's just a change of luck. It's not difficult to get help from outside sources."
Changing one's destiny means turning a mule into a horse, but destiny is determined by heaven. This Yun Qing cannot change it for Liu Caichun, but she can use the connection between the sacred body of Yama and the Underworld Temple to change her luck and fortune. Although things like changing aura and fortune cannot directly turn a mule into a horse, it can allow the mule to encounter various opportunities and run as fast as a horse.
Liu Caichun didn't know much about these things, so he said with great admiration: "Your Majesty really has great supernatural powers!"
"Let's get started." Yun Qing flatly pointed at his forehead, black flame lines burned into his skin, and the vicissitudes of ancient words poured into his soul like a tide.
