Among the three, perhaps due to personal experience, the one with the most true temperament is the Ghost King. Therefore, Qiao Xiyin felt free to leave some things to him.
All in all, if it were her and He Yunchao, they would never do such a thing as building a mausoleum.
"It took nearly ten years to build the tomb," said the Ghost King. "I think every day, maybe you will come back tomorrow. But it took ten years to build the tomb, but you didn't come back; I guarded it for several more decades. Tomb, you still haven’t come back..."
This time is long enough for a mortal to be reincarnated once. However, for those who cultivate immortality, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye, and a single retreat may last longer than this time.
So, he kept waiting.
He couldn't take care of things in the ghost world, so he just stayed here before the mausoleum was built. Later, it became a habit to visit the mausoleum every once in a while.
Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't leave today. If you leave, you will miss this reunion.
"The way we keep time there is different from here," Qiao Xiyin frowned, "I never thought it would take so long..."
"That's all," the Ghost King waved his hands, his voice seemed to have returned to normal, and the previous sadness of the reunion had dissipated a lot, "I think you two seem to have a better relationship, which is also a good thing."
He remembered the demon king's backward look in the past, tsk tsk tsk. At that time, his status in Qiao Xiyin's heart was much higher than that of the Demon King. The Demon King came to him every day to beg him, but he only wanted to find a chance to sneak into Qiao Xiyin's room. His attitude was very respectful.
Then the Demon King came to power.
Then, he added "adult" to the title of the Demon King.
Talking too much brings me to tears!
This time Qiao Xiyin started to feel embarrassed and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, but did not let go of the hand holding He Yunchao's arm.
He Yunchao raised his lips and asked, "Don't we always have a good relationship?"
The Ghost King suppressed the contempt in his heart to the deepest level and said with a smile: "Everything you said is right."
He Yunchao didn't speak before, but he kept listening. He did not ignore the key information in the Ghost King's words, "What treasure did you say?"
He thought it was strange at the time. The world of immortal cultivators would not usually go to war to provoke the lower three realms. If immortals and demons are at odds with each other, why is it that the clan issue that was resolved so many years ago has to be rewritten again after so many years? Bored
"This is the question I have been looking for all these years," the Ghost King's expression turned serious, "They originally came after you."
The one looking was He Yunchao.
"The nine tails of the nine-tailed fox, one tail represents a hundred years of cultivation. It was once a hot elixir in the world of immortality. Many monks took the tails of the nine-tailed fox to practice, stepped into the immortal gate, and successfully ascended. You know this of."
He Yunchao added a bit of coldness to his smile: "Of course."
As the demon king and the clan leader of the Nine-tailed Fox, he certainly knew the darkest past of the Nine-tailed Fox. So until now, the nine-tailed fox is still an endangered species in the Six Realms.
But that was a matter of ancient times. The ban on the use of nine-tailed foxes has been banned in the Six Realms for many years. The nine-tailed fox united as one, and the fact that he was caught making medicine did not appear in his memory at least.
"It's Ren Tianzun of Yunxian Sect," the Ghost King sneered. "At that time, he was one step away from cultivating immortals. He was the eldest disciple of Zhiyuan Zhenjun in the immortal world. Their master and disciple colluded to create a fictitious thing for the lower three realms. The crime is actually to take your Nine Tails and His Highness's Phoenix."
When the Demon King is born, the purple-gold phoenix descends. This is a legend known to everyone in the six realms.
And this is indeed true - the phoenix was once Qiao Xiyin's close partner at critical moments and the natal divine beast connected to her soul.
"But I gave the Nine Tails to Qiao Qiao." He Yunchao sneered. Even if they killed him back then, they wouldn't be able to get the Kyuubi.
"Yes," the Ghost King nodded, "They directly attracted the attention of the Three Realms - but the good times did not last long. Your accident happened first, which alarmed the Immortal Court. In the end, Zhiyuan Zhenjun's affairs were exposed, and he was deprived of his immortality. Bit of exile.”
"But Ren Tianzun broke off the relationship in time and is still living happily in his sect. In order to prevent this scandal from spreading, Xianting blocked the news very tightly and no news was leaked. If I were not a participant, I would You won’t know such details. So for so many years, all the world has known is that your conspiracy was exposed and you fled, but they don’t know who is the villain."
When he said this, he was very emotional: Qiao Xiyin and He Yunchao did nothing, and even died once, why should they bear a bad name? Indeed, the reputation of monsters has long been ruined. But does that mean they have to bear all the sins
"It's just the opinions of the world, we don't care about that." Even so, He Yunchao still had a faint smile on his face, "No wonder Ren Tianzun became an immortal through cultivation."
He didn't dare to go to the immortal court, so he stayed in the human world to dominate and become the leader of his Yunxian Sect and became a highly admired immortal
Ah!
He must have had enough of his good life!
With a "thump", under Qiao Xiyin's surprised gaze, the Ghost King fell to his knees in front of her.
She stretched out her hand to help: "How did you—"
"It's my incompetence that I can't avenge you," the Ghost King gritted his teeth. "You are all gone, and I am the only one to manage the Lower Three Realms. At that time, the hearts of the Lower Three Realms were scattered, and the positions of Demon King and Demon King were all vacant. Everyone wanted to Sit in that position. On the one hand, I have to deal with government affairs, and on the other hand, I have to care about the residents of the Lower Three Realms... I can't devote myself wholeheartedly to killing Ren Tianzun, and my repeated attempts have failed, so I have to retreat back to the Lower Three Realms... "
But he always believed that he could get revenge one day.
Therefore, he opened a door on the cliff of separation between the lower three realms and the human world.
The hub of the gate is the Demon King's Tomb.
"You have to kneel down too!" Qiao Xiyin exclaimed. The Ghost King's knees weakened and he was pulled up by the invisible air current. Hearing her say in surprise, "We are the irresponsible ones. You will have to shoulder the burden of the lower three realms." , it’s too late to thank you now, what did you do wrong? Why do you kneel? "
Revenge can be done at any time as long as Ren Tianzun is alive. Besides, it was her hatred against He Yunchao, not the Ghost King's. The Ghost King can't avenge him, so what can he do to apologize to them? He took action, and that was to help them.
The Ghost King didn't speak, he just held his chest and let the emotions in his heart surge up and down.
He Yunchao stretched out his hand and slowly put it on the back of his hand, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and continue to do your thing. Leave the rest to me."
Here, the person who takes on this responsibility should be him.
The young man's hands were long and powerful, like blazing flames. The Ghost King stared at them for a long time and smiled.
The long corridor made of gold bricks extends into the darkness.
"Xiao Hei said there have been a lot of intruders recently, and he is overwhelmed over there." Qiao Xiyin yawned lazily, "Thinking about it this way, someone may have deliberately let out the news about the tomb."
This might be an opportunity.
Just like they would come back to this world at this time. The trajectories of fate are finally connected.
He Yunchao raised the corners of his lips, "Then take a good look."
Qiao Xiyin's attention was attracted by what she saw along the way.
"Wow, really, I remember that luminous pearl! It seems to have been given to me by the third son of a prince. When I came back, I was almost dead... This is really my thing."
He Yunchao squeezed her hand and kept smiling, "Most of the things here are given to you by me."
Qiao Xiyin made a sound.
The Ghost King opened a special passage for them, and there was no obstruction along the way. The two of them arrived at the main tomb chamber early.
It was a layout comparable to the Demon King's palace, and even the placement of items was almost the same as what Qiao Xiyin remembered. It was intentional, but when she thought about having to move all these things away when she returned, Qiao Xiyin began to feel melancholy again.
What a hassle.
In the center of the tomb, two gold coffins were placed side by side.
The Ghost King's aesthetics are still the same as always - jewels and splendor, and at first glance he looks like a nouveau riche. There are glazed lamps hanging around, and the lights are dim, which makes the surface of the coffin beautiful.
Qiao Xiyin stood in front of the coffin on the right and tapped it lightly with her fingers.
"This should be mine," she raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of interest, "Should we open the coffin?"
She is still alive and well, and there is a mausoleum. This is really interesting. This is probably the only time in this life that she has encountered this.
The main tomb chamber is hidden and sealed. Even if they deliberately release the water, people from outside will have to work hard to get in, so they don't have to worry about being interrupted.
"Yeah." He Yunchao nodded.
The Ghost King mentioned that although the coffin was empty, he collected the Qi scattered in all directions and sealed it all in the coffin.
Back then, the cultivation of the two of them, especially He Yunchao, went from zero to nothing, with nothing left. Most of it was given to Qiao Xiyin, part of it was refined by Ren Tianzun and the others after his death, and the other part was scattered in the six realms.
The cultivation that spreads out is not just his current strength. As the leader and demon king of the nine-tailed fox clan, his power affects the entire demon world. His power can be imagined.
It is no wonder that such a temptation arouses the greed of those people.
Being an enemy of them would be a self-inflicted loss. Although both of them ended up in a mess, Qiao Xiyin also directly killed several immortals and forced them to dethrone themselves.
The immortals who fell in the hands of the devil have no chance to be reincarnated.
He Yunchao's hand covered the coffin lid.
He closed his eyes, and the scenes in his memory appeared before his eyes. The whole picture was bright red.
The coffin lid was lifted upward by invisible air currents.
"ah!"
Qiao Xiyin exclaimed.
Something grabbed her hand and pulled her into the tear in space. Before she could struggle, she was sucked into chaos.
Through the gaps between her fingers, Qiao Xiyin raised her eyes in surprise—her spiritual spring space... was opened!
