Cangwu Mountain is the highest and largest mountain group in the east of the Shengwu Continent. There are countless monsters and spirits in the mountains. It is very popular with practitioners. Many practitioners have traveled all the way to Cangwu Mountain to experience and practice. resources, resulting in a large number of practitioners entering Cangwu Mountain every day.
However, most of these cultivators are active on the outskirts of Cangwu Mountain, and they dare not really go deep into the depths of Cangwu Mountain, lest they encounter those high-level monsters of eighth or ninth order.
After Wen Qiao and the brothers Hu Shuangyan met, they didn't stay long, and went to Cangwu Mountain.
Unlike those cultivators who only circle around, they walked directly to the depths of Cangwu Mountain.
"Squeak~"
A group of spirit monkeys suddenly appeared on the trees along the way, and their number was increasing. I saw spirit monkeys everywhere on the surrounding trees, big, small, old, young, male, female...even big ones A female monkey with a belly, holding one in her arms, and one with a strong belly.
The spirit monkeys yelled at the people under the tree in unison, and the scene was very spectacular.
Rao Hu Shuangyan and the others' cultivation bases are not weak, seeing so many spirit monkeys makes their scalps tingle.
This means that all the spirit monkeys from the whole mountain have come out, right? Although they were not afraid of these spirit monkeys, it would be quite troublesome if they swarmed up.
Just when Hu Shuangyan and his brothers were alert, a little hairy monkey descended from the sky and jumped onto Wen Qiao's shoulder.
Wen Gungun, who squatted on Wenqiao's other shoulder and gnawed at the spirit fruit, looked at it.
The little spirit monkey stared at it with watery eyes, and then handed it a spiritual fruit. After Wen Gungun accepted its filial piety, he continued to eat the spirit fruit calmly, without driving the little spirit monkey away.
As long as you don't come here to grab the news of your sister, and you know how to respect your seniors - Lingguo filial piety, everything is negotiable.
Wen Qiao recognized the little spirit monkey, held it in the palm of her hand, stroked its fur, and said with a smile, "So it's you, you guys are really well informed."
There is still some way from here to the settlement of the spirit monkeys.
The little monkey squeaked and pointed its paw at a big tree not far away.
Wen Qiao looked over and spotted the monkey king hiding behind the mother monkey with sharp eyes. She couldn't help laughing, and said, "What are you doing behind the mother monkey? You're getting fat, don't you think?"
The monkey king poked his head out from behind the female monkey, squeaked at her a few times, and pointed at the female monkey in front of him.
After hearing what the Monkey King said, Wen Qiao couldn't help laughing, and said to it: "You are very powerful, your grandson is so big, and you can still make a mother monkey pregnant. Be careful, the mother monkey will snatch your throne later."
They are all old and unrefined, but they still hang out with young and beautiful female monkeys. The monkey king has not been driven away, and it is because these female monkeys are soft-hearted—or is it for the sake of the cubs
The Monkey King hurriedly bowed to her, squeaking.
Wen Qiao didn't chatter with it too much, she waved her hand and said, "We're in a hurry, so we won't go to your place to get spirit wine. We'll go get it after we come back."
Unexpectedly, the monkey king was dancing excitedly after hearing this, especially after seeing Wen Qiao stuffing a bottle of elixir for the little monkey, he was even more excited.
Brother Hu Shuangyan looked confused.
After saying goodbye to the monkeys, they continued on their way.
Shi Wuming said: "Sister Aqiao, can you understand what they are saying? Why is that old monkey so angry?"
"I don't understand." Wen Qiao said calmly, "The Monkey King probably felt very happy that I could accept its spirit wine, so he got a little excited."
Is that exciting? Well, it is indeed excited, very excited with anger.
Shi Wumingxin said that it turns out that their younger sister Aqiao is also very slippery in telling nonsense with her eyes open.
Not long after bidding farewell to the monkey group, they encountered a white-bellied tarantula again.
Hu Shuangyan and the others became vigilant again.
This white-bellied tarantula is already at the seventh level. Although the level is not high, it is an extremely poisonous monster. I heard that a little bit of poison can bring down the Yuanhuang Realm. it's here.
Even Shi Wuming couldn't help backing away secretly, for fear of being thrown by Ning Yuzhou as a bait again.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou were still very calm, and even took the initiative to say hello to the white-bellied tarantula hanging on the snow-white spider web.
"That's right. I haven't seen you for so many years. You have already cultivated to the seventh level, which is very powerful."
The white-bellied tarantula moved its six legs, and then threw a few spiritual grasses to Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao reached out to catch them, and found that these spiritual grasses were of good quality, and they were all seventh or eighth-rank spiritual grasses, which were considered high-level spiritual grasses in Cangwu Mountain.
only…
"We already have Snake Desire Fruit and Fire Heart Rock Grass, but we don't have this Yantian Que. I can give you a bottle of panacea. Continue to practice hard."
As Wen Qiao said, she threw a bottle of panacea over, and was entangled by a spider thread in mid-air.
The white-bellied tarantula moved a few more times.
Wen Qiao waved at it and said, "We're in a hurry, maybe we'll be back in a few months, we'll talk about what's going on then."
The white-bellied tarantula got her word and wanted to leave.
"Wait, give me some of your venom." Ning Yuzhou called it to stop.
Even people who don't understand the body language of monsters can see the reluctance of the white-bellied tarantula, but when Brother Ning spoke, it could only squeeze out some venom for him, and returned the silk it had just spit out to him. It is pitiful to let the other party be rolled up and taken away.
The Hu Shuangyan brothers finally came to their senses and looked at Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao in surprise.
"Mr. Ning and Miss Wen have been here before?" Hu Dayan asked in surprise, "Could it be that you raised those monsters?"
"No, I've beaten them before, and they're just obedient." Wen Qiao said calmly.
The corners of Hu Shuangyan's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't get along with Wen Qiao very much, but he heard a lot of rumors about her. He knew that she was an individual cultivator, and she was very talented. They have all been convinced by her before—Of course this is just a rumor from the outside world, and it has not been confirmed yet, but everyone thinks that it is almost inseparable, otherwise how would Duan Haoyan know that they came back, and immediately ran to Scarlet Heaven Sect.
However, he didn't expect that Wen Qiao seemed to be stronger than they imagined, and it was also a talent to be able to beat the monster so submissively.
Shi Wuming said: "Oh, Sister Aqiao is really powerful, can't you beat all the monsters in this mountain before?"
"That's not true." Wen Qiao said, "At that time, my cultivation base was still low, and I only beat a few of them. Thanks to Brother Ning and Wen Tutu for their help."
She did not take the credit for herself, as was the case at the time.
"That's not true, if it weren't for my sister, they wouldn't be obedient." Wen Tutu retorted, the monsters know about monsters, many of them have stubborn tempers, and would rather perish with their enemies than submit to others.
But Wen Qiao is different. The big stick and sweet dates are tamed and tamed.
Ning Yuzhou also nodded with a smile, saying that everything was due to Wen Qiao.
Brother Hu Shuangyan thought, if her cultivation level was higher at that time, wouldn't the monsters in the whole mountain be tamed by her, wouldn't Cangwu Mountain let them go as they please
Brother Hu Shuangyan was also trained by Qianshou as a core member after some assessment, and many things were not hidden from them.
So they knew that Qianlin would send people back to Dongling every once in a while, so they could somewhat guess the relationship between Ning Yuzhou and Dongling, and they didn't really confirm it until this time.
Since they had to cross Cangwu Mountain on their way back to Dongling, if they could subdue the monsters on Cangwu Mountain, it would be really convenient for them to control Dongling.
Hu Shuangyan immediately shared his thoughts with Ning Yuzhou.
Before Ning Yuzhou opened his mouth, Wen Tutu and Wen Gungun looked at them vigilantly, resolutely preventing any monsters from coming to Wenqiao.
"No!" Wen Tutu directly objected, "It's enough for my sister to have us, and those monsters can do whatever they want. If you want to subdue them, I will do it."
In the concept of monsters, the transformation demon cultivator can be called the demon king and has his own territory.
Because Wen Tutu was raised by Wen Qiao, she likes to run with her, and looks down on such things as the territory. But now that he is the Demon King, he can get a piece of land if he wants, and this Cangwu Mountain is just right.
And it is better for Wen Qiao to be the monster king of Cangwu Mountain than to be raped by those monsters.
Wen Gungun also thinks this is a good idea, and the always lazy little iron beast even said that if Wentutu needs help, it will definitely help and subdue Cangwu together.
Ning Yuzhou said: "Since you are interested, you will accept Cangwu Mountain."
Cangwu Mountain does not have transformation demon cultivators, and the highest level is the ninth-level monsters. As long as Wen Tutu, the airborne demon king, subdues them, Cangwu Mountain will be his territory.
The world of monsters is that simple.
"When we arrive at Dongling, Wen Gungun and I will come over to become the Demon King." Wen Tutu said, already taking Cangwu Mountain as his own.
Of course, he made such a decision because he was worried about Wen Qiao and the others, so he decided to accompany them to Dongling and come back after confirming that nothing happened.
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou readily agreed.
"Wen Tutu has grown up and has his own opinions." Wen Qiao stroked Wen Tutu's head, feeling that it is not easy to raise a child, seeing the child grow up is both gratifying and sad.
Wen Tutu was very happy to receive her praise, and even more motivated.
It was heard that Tutu, the shape-changing demon cultivator, would not run out without looking at the monsters in Cangwu Mountain, allowing them to reach their destination smoothly all the way.
"We want to pass through this mountain road?" Shi Wuming looked at the mountain road, "Is this a shortcut?"
Ning Yuzhou hummed, "Going from here can save a lot of time."
As he said that, he specifically checked the formation he had set up back then, and found that there was no trace of man-made sabotage. Every time Qianlin comes back and forth from here, because he holds the jade card he gave, he only needs to use the jade card to open the formation, and there is no need to destroy it.
Then Ning Yuzhou laid out a more powerful ground-level formation on the basis of the original, and just now led everyone into the mountain path.
With everyone's speed, it took only one and a half days to cross Cangwu Mountain and arrive at Lintai Mountain on the back of Cangwu Mountain.
Even Hu Shuangyan couldn't help being surprised. Looking back at the towering mountains behind him, he couldn't help sighing: "It really is a shortcut, and the speed is really fast."
Ning Yuzhou checked the formation at the entrance of the passage as usual and re-fortified it.
Although this passage is for the cultivators of Dongling, if you want to use it, it depends on your own ability, not just cats and dogs can use it. Ning Yuzhou also adhered to the rules established by the predecessors of Dongling who developed this passage, and he could use it if he found it.
Ning Yuzhou and the others are very familiar with the environment on Lintai Mountain. When they left here and walked through it once, they would never forget this way.
After spending half a day, they were about to leave Mount Lintai.
Suddenly, Wen Qiao thought of something and asked, "Husband, is Lintai Hunting Valley open again every three years?"
Ning Yuzhou smiled, and said warmly: "If there are no accidents, today should be the closing time of Lintai Hunting Valley."
"Will your father be there?" Wen Qiao asked again.
As the patriarch of the Ning clan, Emperor Cheng Hao asked him to preside over the opening of Lintai Hunting Valley every time.
"I don't know, we can go and have a look." Ning Yuzhou said, pulling her towards Lintai Hunting Valley.
Shi Wuming came over and asked curiously: "Brother Ning, is your father the emperor?"
Even Hu Shuangyan couldn't help showing a strange look on his face. The martial arts are respected in the cultivation world, and he doesn't like the emperor in the world. They didn't expect that Dongling still had an imperial system, and Ning Yuzhou was still a prince.
If placed in the mortal world, Ning Yuzhou's status is indeed quite noble, and he can't complain that he always has a kind of nobility that other cultivators don't have, which cannot be cultivated in the cultivation world that respects strength.
Ning Yuzhou didn't know what they were thinking, and said: "Tangling is located in a remote place, where there are more mortals than cultivators, so the Dongling Empire was established in this area of Dongling. It is said that thousands of years ago, the Ning family finally ended Dongling. After the melee in the Mausoleum and the establishment of the empire, the patriarch of the Ning clan became the emperor, and the throne was passed down from generation to generation..."
After listening to his explanation, everyone was stunned.
The establishment of Tang Ling's empire was also necessary for the situation at the time. Only by establishing an empire could the chaos of Tang Ling be ended and the relationship between mortals and practitioners be balanced.
Ning seems to be domineering, but he has also made a lot of contributions.
"However, Dongling doesn't need an empire in the future." Ning Yuzhou said quietly.
The cultivators of Dongling will develop in the Central Continent in the future, and gradually the number of cultivators here will become less and less. Maybe after countless years, the aura of Dongling will become so thin that no more cultivators can be bred here. It will become a world of mortals, and Cangwu Mountain is a dangerous place that separates the world of cultivation from the world of mortals.
No one present was stupid, and soon understood what he meant.
In fact, think about it, not only Dongling, but also many places where spiritual energy is thin, the same is true, and those mortal worlds come from this.
Lintai Hunting Valley is nearby.
Wen Qiao and the others flew with their swords for a while, and then they arrived near Lintai Hunting Valley.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a flash of inspiration, the passage of Lintai Hunting Valley opened, and a group of practitioners appeared from inside.
Hu Shuangyan and the others looked at this scene with great interest, knowing that in a place like Dongling with thin aura, there might not be much good things in the secret realm. Even if there is, with their current cultivation base, it is no longer necessary.
So they have no idea.
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou scanned the crowd, and instantly found the figures of the Ning clan, and Emperor Cheng Hao was among them.
Emperor Cheng Hao's appearance hasn't changed much, he still looks very young, he doesn't look like someone who has a son in his thirties.
Obviously, over the years, Ning Yuzhou has used a lot of resources sent back by people to keep his appearance unchanged.
As the passage of Lintai Hunting Valley opened, a group of cultivators from Dongling came out one by one.
Suddenly a blood man flew out from the tunnel, followed by a few arrogant practitioners, who let out a burst of arrogant laughter.
"What is Lintai Hunting Valley? It's really a small place, and there's nothing good about it, so I made a trip for nothing!"
