Zhang Xiaowu recently changed the wooden shed next to the small pond into a bamboo house. Although there are many flowers and plants planted in front of the house, there are no elixirs. "Elegant * Wen * Words * First * Issue" Soon after he arrived here, Demon Lord Huangquan left the Wuwu Demon Realm and went to the southwest sea, so he has been the only one on Wangyue Peak these days.

Zhang Xiaowu still feels very comfortable. There are no dirty fights in the outer gate here. He practices practice every day, enjoys the beautiful scenery and various flowers and plants, and lives a fulfilling life. And judging from the short time we got together, Demon Lord Huangquan was a nice person. At least in Zhang Xiaowu's opinion, she was very gentle and amiable, and she was not at all as ferocious as the outside world said. He felt that the only problem was that the mountain was empty. Except for the occasional bird flying over the top of the mountain, there were almost no living creatures. The whole mountain was completely silent.

It seems that the sect leader is indeed very fond of Demon Lord Huangquan, otherwise he would not have cleaned up the entire mountain so completely just because of her words.

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when suddenly there was a sound of whirling grass and trees not far away. There were no wild animals around. Where did the sound of stepping on the grass come from? Could it be that the Demon Lord of Underworld is back

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately looked up towards Canglang Pavilion and saw a tall young woman pushing aside the weeds and walking towards him impatiently.

The woman wore a long golden dress with layers of skirts like scales. Her long hair was slightly curly and her eyes were filled with graceful gold. And all Zhang Xiaowu's eyes were attracted by the pair of dragon horns above her head, and he didn't recover for a long time.

The woman had slender legs and walked to the edge of the small pool in a few steps. She was a head taller than Zhang Xiaowu. She looked down at him and said, "Untouchable, who allowed you to stare at this princess?"

Zhang Xiaowu's mouth grew even bigger, and he shouted in his heart: "This princess? What kind of self-promotion is this?"

"What are you still doing? Kneel down!" The dragon girl sneered and glanced at Zhang Xiaowu. The real dragon aura on her body forced him to take several steps back.

"Why are you bullying him?" came another familiar voice.

Zhang Xiaowu never knew that he would burst into tears after meeting Demon Lord Huangquan. He avoided the "princess" with dragon horns and ran quickly to Yun Qing who spoke for him.

Yun Qing walked slower than Dragon Girl, with her eyes closed and bare feet as usual, with a gentle expression. She was still wearing the same white clothes, with no other decorations except the simple totems on the corners of her clothes. Behind her were a man and a woman, both of whom had dull eyes and no life.

She smiled reassuringly at Zhang Xiaowu, and then said: "This is Long Huai, you can just call her... Your Highness Princess."

"Did you hear that? Call your highness the princess, hurry up." Long Nu was coaxed happily by Yun Qing along the way, and even told her her real name.

"...Your Highness the Princess." Zhang Xiaowu shouted with an aggrieved look on his face.

Yun Qing walked to Long Huai and asked, "Can I live here?"

She pointed to the clear and shallow pool with a serious look on her face. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

Long Huai had an expression on his face: "How stingy are you? Why don't you build a dragon palace in a pond?" and started to roll up his sleeves angrily.

Yun Qing held her hand, and the jade light loomed in his palm: "Don't do it, there is a little guy here who can't stand the beating."

The twenty-seven-year-old "little guy" Zhang Xiaowu watched the two people discussing the construction of the Dragon Palace in depression, wondering if the princess would still be his neighbor in the future

"Who wants to beat him up! Why don't you let me dig a bigger pool myself!?" Long Huai looked aggrieved and threw Yun Qing away with all his strength.

Yun Qing coughed: "Then you go on, if you need anything, just ask..."

Yun Qing paused, her eyes wandered over Amang and Zheng Zhenzhen for a while, and finally fell on Zhang Xiaowu.

Zhang Xiaowu stood up straight with excitement, screaming in his heart, "Don't be me, don't be me."

"Well, find this person." Yun Qing made the final decision, and Long Huai quickly classified Zhang Xiaowu as a "useless servant" in his heart.

"Come here and dig this pit into a lake for me." Long Huai ordered Zhang Xiaowu unceremoniously.

Zhang Xiaowu could only go forward with a bitter look on his face.

Yun Qing looked at them for a while, then turned and left.

"Where are you going?" Long Huai asked warily.

Yun Qing's figure disappeared into the forest in an instant: "Go see my master."

Yan Mo Tianzi Peak, this time Demon Lord Qian Yuan summoned her not in the side hall, but in the main hall. The structure of the main hall is similar to that of the side hall, but larger. The entire palace is still covered in lights but never illuminated. There are eighteen screens in front of the main seat, each with a completely different picture of hell painted on it. Eighteen of them together look a bit more gloomy and terrifying than the side hall.

When Yun Qing walked in, Demon Lord Qian Yuan was sitting behind the screen, and several senior elders in the hall, as well as Qian Bian and other direct disciples were all listening to what he was explaining.

"Oh, Huang Quan is back too. That's just in time. You can come with me to attend the Huang Quan Holy Meeting tomorrow."

As soon as she stepped into the main hall, before she could say anything, Demon Lord Qian Yuan waved to her from behind the screen: "Come, come, come, let me see how you have improved after being out."

Yun Qing lowered her head and smiled, ignoring all the gazes around her, and stepped forward step by step. Her muffled footsteps could only be heard in the entire main hall.

"This time Huang Quan was finally promoted to Taoism by chance. It can be said that he has lived up to the master's careful teachings over the past ten years."

She walked into the screen and saluted the stern-looking Demon Lord Qianyuan.

Demon Lord Chuyuan nodded, his face remained solemn, but the meaning behind his words was still praise: "Yes, you have been promoted to Taoism after practicing for more than ten years. You can also be among the talents of the world."

"Master taught well." Yun Qing said sincerely.

The two of them put the elders and disciples aside and complimented each other for a while, and then Demon Lord Qian Yuan seemed to realize that he was a little too partial to others. He cleared his throat and said to everyone: "We talked about the South China Sea before. Yi Du, have you come up with any good strategies these days?"

Under the steps of the main hall, a man from the left stepped forward and stepped forward. He was tall and straight, with a heroic face, holding a long sword, wearing black armor and a red cloak. As soon as he walked out, he felt a sharp aura rising through the clouds. Yun Qing felt that his temperament was quite similar to that of the generals who conquered the beasts of heaven and earth in ancient times.

His face was cold and he said only one word: "Kill."

Although Yun Qing has been doing this for the past ten years, what she said when everyone was discussing this matter was, "The disciples think they should take a detour and teach them a lesson if they don't change their minds"... Of course, she usually There is no time for the first half.

Fortunately, everyone in the hall is familiar with each other, and everyone is accustomed to Yi Du's speaking style.

Yun Qing stood beside Demon Lord Qianyuan, feeling that he was a little helpless. He waved Demon Lord Yidu to retreat, and then sighed: "Is this the only word you have come up with these days?"

Demon Lord Yidu stood back to his original position with a cold face and said: "Yes."

Yun Qing raised his hand and covered his smile with his wide sleeves.

"Huang Quan, what do you think?"

If I read it correctly, Demon Lord Qian Yuan should have glared at her just now.

Yun Qing put down his sleeves, lowered his eyebrows, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Since Master has handed over the matter of the South China Sea to Senior Yi Du, I think he will be able to give you a satisfactory answer."

In one sentence, she pushed the matter to Venerable Yi Du.

"You have guarded the South China Sea for ten years, why don't you tell me how you did it?"

Yun Qing glanced at Yi Du out of the corner of his eye. His expression was still very cold, and his face looked like a sculpture under the dim light. Naturally, Yun Qing would not refute the great elder's reputation in such a high-level meeting, so he was silent for a while and said honestly: "... kill."

Yun Qing was sure that Demon Lord Qian Yuan glared at her. Before she could say anything to save her, she heard a burst of laughter from below the steps. The voice was hearty and heroic, but it could be heard that it was a woman's voice.

On the right side of Demon Lord Qian Yuan's seat, a woman in red couldn't help laughing. Then Qian Bian and several other direct disciples who were familiar with Yun Qing all laughed.

Yun Qing said quickly: "Master, I mean..."

"Okay, now that we have countermeasures for the South China Sea incident, let's all disperse." Demon Lord Qianyuan seemed not to hear her.

Yun Qing thought to himself, what countermeasures did he come up with from these two identical nonsense sentences

But no one said any more. They saluted together and then exited the hall, leaving only Demon Lord Qianyuan and Yun Qing.

Yun Qing felt that it was necessary to tell him about the Southwest Fairyland this time, so after everyone left, he said: "Master, I already know a little bit about the Southwest Sea..."

"You can save these words for the Underworld Holy Meeting." Demon Lord Qianyuan said calmly, not mentioning the previous events in the South China Sea.

Yun Qing nodded. She had also heard about the Underworld Holy Society in the past ten years. It seemed that the decision to introduce her to the Underworld was made by the Underworld Holy Society. Yun Qing originally thought it was a trivial ordinary meeting, but in fact it was not at all.

There are nine demonic sects in Wuwu Demon Realm. Although the nine sects are independent of each other, they are actually very closely related, just like the sects in the same sect that practice different inheritances. The nine major orthodoxies are not allowed to influence each other's internal decision-making, but there are always some issues involving the development of the entire Wuwu Demon Realm, and such issues are generally left to the Underworld Holy Association to resolve.

Now the Jiu Ming Rebellion has officially escalated into a struggle for orthodoxy. The war between humanity and monsters is intensifying. Disputes between immortality and Buddhism are gradually rising. Orthodox inheritances such as Fengdu City and Shenyin Sect have all entered the world. The entire world is in a state of affairs that has not been seen in thousands of years. On the eve of the turmoil, the situation was on the verge of breaking out.

The Orthodox Demonic Way, who lives far away in the Demonic Realm of Wuwu, is now officially facing an unavoidable choice problem.

The opening of the Underworld Holy Society seems to indicate this.

Demon Lord Qianyuan suddenly asked: "What do you think of Demon Lord Yidu?"

Yun Qing thought for a while, and then replied seriously: "General."

"Can you only speak two words besides one word today?"

Yun Qing immediately changed his words: "Senior Yi Du is a general."

“…”

Yun Qing saw that Qian Yuan's face was not kind, so he quickly added: "He is brave and good at fighting, and no one else in the sect can block his edge. However, no matter how sharp a sword is, it can only be a sword."

Demon Lord Qian Yuan looked uncertain and asked casually: "What about Qian Bian?"

"A delicate mind, sharp hands and eyes, good at adapting to changes..." Yun Qing said here and suddenly fell silent.

Demon Lord Qian Yuan looked at the picture of purgatory on the screen and calmly finished her unfinished words: "But there is rebellion."

Yun Qing's heart tightened and she said nothing. The two of them fell into a cold silence.
