Zhang Xiaowen randomly stuffed the things into a ball, then after thinking about it, he threw out a few more items and sorted them again. en8.

"Xiaowen, what are you doing?" Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaowen's twin brother, suddenly poked his head out of the next room.

Zhang Xiaowen was thinking about picking something to bring with him to restore his image in the eyes of Demon Lord Huangquan, but he didn't notice him for a moment.

"Pah!" Zhang Xiaowu slapped Zhang Xiaowen on the forehead and said carelessly, "Are you going to escape?"

Zhang Xiaowen said to himself that he was not escaping, but rushing to suffer the disaster.

"Don't make trouble, I'm busy." He shook off his brother's hand and packed his things distractedly, but he was still dissatisfied no matter how he arranged them.

"Are you too angry? Hehe, there is something you can't tell your brother. Do you like some junior sister?" Zhang Xiaowu leaned over and smiled, with an "I understand" expression on his face.

The face of Demon Lord Huang Quan suddenly appeared in Zhang Xiaowen's mind, and he suddenly sat down on the ground in a cold sweat.

"...Even if I hit the target, your reaction doesn't have to be so big, right?" Zhang Xiaowu was stunned.

Zhang Xiaowen hugged his brother's thigh and cried loudly: "Brother, please save me! I'm really going to die! Please help me!"

Zhang Xiaowu has never seen this child cry before. He didn't know what was going on now, so he quickly asked: "What are you doing? If you have anything to do, just tell your brother!"

"I secretly went up to Wangyue Peak today..."

Zhang Xiaowu said "Ah" in his heart, thinking, aren't you seeking death

"Then what?"

Zhang Xiaowen stammered and recounted what happened to the Underworld Demon Lord asking him to go to Wangyue Peak. At this moment, Zhang Xiaowu also froze in a cold sweat.

"Then, then you can go..." Zhang Xiaowu whispered.

"Are you the one who cheats on your younger brother like you!?" Zhang Xiaowen said dissatisfied, "There are no living creatures in the entire Wangyue Peak! Besides, Demon Lord Huangquan is accompanied by a man and a woman, both of whom have no sense. I will definitely be beaten if I go there. It’s like that!”

"Bah, bah, bah, isn't the Demon Lord a living thing?" Zhang Xiaowu grabbed a jade talisman and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaowen's mouth, for fear that he would talk nonsense again, "The Demon Lord of Huangquan... is the one who has only been in the industry for ten years, but still monopolizes a main peak. ?”

"We all said it was Wangyue Peak, who else but her!?" Zhang Xiaowen spat out the jade talisman, "The blood she had stained in the South China Sea in the past ten years could have drowned the entire Six Paths of Yama..."

"Don't talk nonsense. The massacre in Nanhai was for the sect to suppress the rebellion, and the people killed were not our own people. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Not one of our own!?" Zhang Xiaowen's voice rose, "You said you were suppressing the rebellion, but why are those in the South China Sea not our own! She is a demon-slaying demon!"

"Okay, okay, listen to the Demon Lord, practice well under her, behave well, and you will be proud of your brother. "Elegant * Wen * Yan * Emotion * First * Send' " Zhang Xiaowu comforted him. I actually feel that the Underworld Demon Lord is not as scary as the rumors say, at most he is more murderous. Probably because of his withdrawn temperament, he keeps to himself and refuses to refute the rumors, so the rumors are becoming more and more terrifying now.

"You can go if you wish. Anyway, I don't want to die!" Zhang Xiaowen hugged Zhang Xiaowu's thigh and held on.

Zhang Xiaowu was really moved after hearing this.

As far as he knew, Demon Lord Huangquan was the youngest among the six direct disciples and the latest to get started. Moreover, the sect leader was extremely kind to her and directly promoted her to his direct descendant without even entering Taoism. This kind of thing was simply unheard of in the orthodox inheritance. Ten years ago, when Demon Lord Huangquan first started, the sect master gave her Wangyue Peak. Later, she found it too crowded and noisy, so the sect master directly moved all the disciples on the peak to other places. In other words, now there is only Huangquan in the entire Wangyue Peak. The Demon King is alone.

There were even rumors among the outer sect that she was the illegitimate daughter of the sect leader, so one can imagine the high status of this person.

This generation of direct disciples has not yet begun to accept disciples, but taking this opportunity to learn from Demon Lord Huangquan, and being influenced by them, they will definitely benefit a lot. Zhang Xiaowu thought of this, gritted his teeth and said to his brother: "Okay, I'll go for you!"

Zhang Xiaowen was stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "Brother! You are really my brother!"

Yan Mo Tianzi Peak, side hall.

It's so dark inside that even with countless lamps lit, you can't see clearly. There's darkness that no light can penetrate, shrouding the place.

A screen separates the main seat of the side hall from the outside. The colorful six-way wheel of life and death is painted on the screen, which can be seen particularly clearly in this dim side hall. The Six Paths of Life and Death is a wheel that carries people in the cycle of life and death. As this wheel rolls forward, countless lives cycle back and forth between life and death, never transcending. It is mainly black and red, and the scenes of the six hells densely fill the entire screen, making people feel indescribably depressed when looking at it.

"Qianbian, please step back."

A solemn voice came from the seat.

Qianbian caressed Zhuhua gently, then stepped away with a smile. Before leaving, he secretly winked at Yun Qing.

"Huang Quan, come forward."

Yun Qing took a few steps forward and approached the screen. He could vaguely see the figure sitting upright inside.

"Come closer, come here."

Yun Qing was startled, walked around the screen and walked in.

There was a thick blanket spread inside the screen, and a picture of a hundred ghosts was painted on the blanket. In the center, there was a middle-aged Taoist sitting cross-legged. He was dressed in mysterious clothes, with a serious and restrained expression, and a vague sense of handsomeness in his eyebrows. He must have been a man of beauty when he was young. He has a long beard, and the aura around him is peaceful and unfathomable.

Yun Qing felt that her master didn't look like a demon cultivator at first glance, but more like a teacher.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze?" The middle-aged Taoist always had a very stern look on his face, appearing to be calm and intimidating.

"I always feel that Master shouldn't be like this." Yun Qing replied honestly. This was the first time in ten years that she had entered the screen and looked at his face.

"Tell me what I should look like?" The sect leader did not lecture her on being stuck on appearances, but asked her seriously about her opinion. When he asked this question, Yun Qing felt that he was even more like a private school teacher waving a ruler. .

"...Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and charming, evil smile and so on." Yun Qing coughed awkwardly after finishing speaking.

"..." The sect master's thick eyebrows gradually rose.

Yun Qing said quickly: "I wonder what Master wants from me this time?"

"In recent years... not in recent years. In the past thousand years, there have been constant rebellions among the devil cultivators in the South China Sea, trying to gain control of the Wuwu Demon Realm. You have done a good job in countering the rebellion." Although the sect leader was praising, his expression was so stern that Yun Qing always felt that Did you do something wrong

"We should help the sect solve its problems." Yun Qing couldn't help but solemnly replied.

"But now I have handed over the matter of the South China Sea to Venerable Yi Du. I am looking for you this time about the Southwest Islands." The sect leader said, "There is a fairyland in the southwest."

Yun Qing's heart skipped a beat. The immortal and demonic paths have never interfered with each other, or in other words, as far as she knew, the demonic path had never had any major conflicts with other sects. What did the sect master mean when he suddenly mentioned that there was a fairy in the southwest

"Southwest...?"

Southwest refers to the southwest of the entire sea area, not the southwest of Wuwu Demon Realm. The Great World has the Beichuan Continent in the north and the Nanfeng Continent in the south. Both the east and west are islands. The south of Nanfeng is connected to the Wuhuang Demon Realm, and the north of Beichuan is connected to the Tongtian Divine Vein. In other words, the due east of the southwest sea is the Nanfeng Continent.

The sect leader quickly asked: "After receiving the news, the Destruction Demon Sect and the Huatian Desire Demon Sect sent disciples to investigate, but nothing was found. What do you think?"

"If it comes from the Tongtian Divine Vein, then it is not difficult to avoid detection." Yun Qing expressed his thoughts.

"What else?" asked the sect leader.

"I'm sorry for my disciple's stupidity." Yun Qing said no more, as he would be wrong if he said too much.

"Please go to the southwest sea. Nine immortals from Shenyin Sect have entered the world in recent years. Just find out who they are." The sect master looked at her deeply and explained briefly.

"Disciple, please obey." Yun Qing nodded calmly.

"Go down." The sect master waved his hand.

Yun Qing saluted, turned and left, and the entire side hall fell silent again.

When she walked out of the side hall, she found that Qian Bian was already gone, so she returned to Wangyue Peak alone.

Southwest... This place is very sensitive. Because the Southern Continent is separated from the Beichuan Continent by the Gangfeng, and the Great Movement Formation has been destroyed, so if you want to send a large number of disciples to Jiu Ming, you can only pass through the northwest sea area, the southwest sea area, and around On a big circle. But if this is the case, then there must be a lot of people sent by Tongtian Divine Vein. The huge number of people has not been discovered, which can only mean that the other party has people with great supernatural powers.

However, Yun Qing had not yet entered Taoism at this time, and he only held the title of direct disciple. He was definitely unable to compete with an entire fleet of immortal Tao elites. At this time, she would not be surprised if the sect leader sent an ordinary disciple, nor would she be surprised if he sent other direct disciples. Because ordinary disciples are used as cannon fodder, and their lives are safe if they are passed down directly, but at this juncture, he sent Yun Qing out to investigate, which is a bit intriguing.

The hidden meaning behind the sect leader's actions determined what Yun Qing should do when she went out this time, which made her can only figure it out carefully as she walked.

The sect leader has always seemed to have great trust in her, and no one in the direct lineage is treated as special as her. But Yun Qing knew in her heart that if she really trusted her, she would not deliberately push her to the forefront with a respected position that was inconsistent with her strength. If she trusted her, she would not let Qian Bian, who grew up in the family, approach her and test her.

The most important thing is that although the sect leader personally taught her about the Great Sun and Black Celestial Wheel every year after she started, he never mentioned the two inheritance lines of Yama's Wandering Wheel and the Six Paths of Inanimate Wheel.

You must know that the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel can be said to be violent and cruel among all the orthodox demons. It is not suitable for beginners. Almost no one in the sect takes it to enter the Tao because it is too risky and too difficult. Yun Qing was stuck at the entrance to the Tao due to this inheritance, unable to advance even an inch. This attitude also allowed Yun Qing to see something clearly. She was not tried to be a true disciple of the Six Paths of Yama Sect. At most, she was just a lucky person who happened to practice the Great Sun Black Celestial Wheel and was selected by the Underworld Temple.

In the past ten years, she has been cultivating at Wangyue Peak every spring and summer, and guarding the South China Sea in autumn and winter. In the past ten years, she has been stained with countless blood, and every head is a proof. I don’t know how many mountains of corpses and seas of blood it will take before the old guy can regard her as his disciple.

Right now, the Southwest Wizardry may be a good opportunity, but with it comes huge risks.

Yun Qing walked on the water and went up to Wangyue Peak. After thinking about it all the way, she almost had a good idea. She would survive this trip to the southwest sea first, and then think about promotion to Taoism.

Halfway up the mountain, she suddenly remembered the young disciple today, so she walked around the Canglang Pavilion and walked to the small pond.

A simple wooden shed was set up beside the small pond. There was a young man who looked exactly like Zhang Xiaowen, shaking his head on the big stone in front of the pond and reading.

Yun Qing stepped forward and saw that there was nothing on the book cover.

"What book are you reading?" Yun Qing whispered behind him.

Zhang Xiaowu was so frightened that he fell from the stone with a "plop" and fell into the pool. Even the person and the book were thoroughly wet.

He struggled for a long time before climbing ashore, shuddering and saying: "Honored, venerable sir."

"What book are you reading?"

"A collection of mythological novels written by ordinary people is called "Xuan Ming Ji"." Zhang Xiaowu answered honestly.

"Oh." Yun Qing responded lightly, "Are you Zhang Xiaowen's brother?"

Zhang Xiaowu's mind went blank and he fell to his knees: "I didn't mean to deceive the Lord! It's just that my brother is afraid..."

"It's okay, you can live here." Yun Qing didn't say much, turned around and left.

When her figure was about to disappear in the dense forest, she suddenly turned back and said: "The "Xuan Ming Ji"... remember to send me a copy tomorrow."
