No one tried to stop Moon Shadow Devil Monarch, so he escaped easily.
How could it be easy to stop a great Nascent Soul cultivator?
If they weren't careful, he would defeat them one by one. That would be their own fault.
Jing Xingzhi deliberately chased after her and shouted, "Senior, you have to walk carefully. Don't fall and die!"
"…" Mo Tiange shook her head and said, "Are you bullying the old?"
Jing Xingzhi smiled like a ruffian. "I've always liked to bully the old."
"I think you're beating a drowning dog!" Nie Wushang gave him a dirty look. The dignified Nascent Soul Demon Monarch was classified as a drowning dog by her just like that.
She was still wearing Tiancan's attire, but she didn't disguise her voice. Ling Yunhe frowned slightly. "Fellow Daoist Tiancan?"
Nie Wushang took off her bamboo hat, revealing a delicate face. "Sorry, Fellow Daoist Ling, my real name is Nie Wushang."
"…" Ling Yunhe looked at her real face and was a bit surprised. In the end, he sighed. "What's wrong with a real or fake name?
I only recognize you as Fellow Daoist Qin Wei and Fellow Daoist Tiancan. "
His words inexplicably made the two of them sad.
Time flew. A hundred years passed, and they all entered the Nascent Soul realm. The Carefree Valley of the past still seemed like yesterday.
Speaking of which, among the six people in the Carefree Valley, except for the two who died, the remaining four all formed their Nascent Souls. Recalling the past, they really felt emotional.
The five of them stood facing each other. Jing Xingzhi, who was surrounded by sword aura as if he was in a sword formation, said, "You're actually in the middle stage?"
"Why are you so surprised?"
Jing Xingzhi glanced at Mo Tiange. "How long has it been since Mo Qingwei formed her Nascent Soul? If she can reach the middle stage, why can't I?"
Nie Wushang finally noticed and was pleasantly surprised. "Tiange, you're in the middle stage?!"
Mo Tiange nodded with a smile. "I advanced not long ago, so I obtained a great fated chance."
"Hmph!" Jing Xingzhi was extremely jealous. Every time they had a great fated chance, he always followed behind and picked up the scraps!
Fortunately, White Tiger and the sword cave were both his. Otherwise, he would be jealous to death.
"Guys," Ling Yunhe said, "This isn't a place to talk. Let's go!"
※ ※ ※
Two hours later, they were sitting in the Cloud Soaring Crane's ship, slowly heading towards the coast.
"Yue Ying Devil Lord doesn't have any accomplices, right?" Jing Xingzhi asked as he walked around the ship.
Nie Wushang said, "Isn't it too late for you to worry now?"
"I've been worried for a long time, so I prepared for a while longer."
Nie Wushang turned around and glared at him. "Aren't you afraid I won't be able to hold on until you guys arrive?"
Jing Xingzhi grinned cheekily. "How could you die so easily?
Look at your body, you can't die even if you want to, unlucky girl! "
Nie Wushang clenched her teeth. "Yeah, I'm not as awe-inspiring as you, sword (slut)!"
Mo Tiange stared at them and smiled. This time, Nie Wushang was even more relaxed. She could call her by her name and joke around with Jing Xingzhi like this. Presumably, she'd completely broken away from Master Song Feng's shadow and obtained a new life.
After chatting for a while, everyone began to reminisce about the past.
Jing Xingzhi said he only came out after fifteen years of Closed Door Meditation in the Sword Cave of Fengxi Valley to understand Wanderer Ziwei's sword intent. In the end, he said proudly that he wasn't afraid of Qin Xi anymore.
Qin Xi just smiled. This time, he could naturally see that Jing Xingzhi was different from before.
Originally, he was sharp and threatening, and his whole body was like an unsheathed sword.
Now, his sword intent was completely restrained, but as long as he wanted, he could transform into a sword at any time.
Wanderer Ziwei was indeed a genius sword cultivator. Not only did he have amazing achievements when he was alive, but he also kept all his knowledge in the Sword Cave after his death and passed it on.
Jing Xingzhi kept saying that the big fated chances belonged to them, and he could only follow behind and pick up the leftovers. In fact, as a sword cultivator, neither the Yang Spiritual Bead nor the Vermilion Bird Bow could compare to the Sword Cave of Ziwei.
Moreover, he was recognized by the White Tiger Bead before, which was something even Feifei couldn't do.
As for Nie Wushang, after returning to Yunzhong, she entered Closed Door Meditation to participate in the Great Primordial Devil Technique. Later, for some reason, Demon Monarch Yue Ying pestered her to hand over the Great Primordial Devil Technique.
When Nie Wushang finished talking about how she was pestered by Demon Monarch Yue Ying, she frowned slightly. "Strange, how did he know about the existence of the Great Primordial Devil Technique?"
"Yes, this is also something I can't figure out," Nie Wushang said, "But no matter how I asked, he didn't reveal anything."
Qin Xi tapped his knuckles and said, "Your devil aura is very profound, and it can't be hidden at all.
Now, Yunzhong and the Celestial Pole are in contact again, so what happened in the westernmost might be spread to Yunzhong … Did Demon Monarch Yue Ying know you're Master Song Feng's disciple? "
Master Song Feng's cultivation of the Great Primordial Devil Technique wasn't a secret. Most of the high-level cultivators in the Celestial Pole knew about it, and the last time Master Song Feng appeared was in the westernmost area.
"Could it be Demon Monarch Yue Shuang?"
Jing Xingzhi said, "Among the people who came from Yunzhong last time, only she went back. Maybe she leaked Wushang's situation to Demon Monarch Yue Ying."
Nie Wushang thought for a while then shook her head. "I don't think so. Night Frost and Yue Ying are both Nascent Soul devil cultivators, and their strengths are almost the same. Demon Monarch Yue Ying wanted to steal the Great Primordial Devil Technique because he wanted to break through the late stage and advance into the Deification realm.
How could Demon Monarch Night Frost give such a good opportunity to others?
The Demon Monarchs didn't get along very well. "
"If it wasn't her, how could Demon Monarch Yue Ying know about the Great Primordial Devil Technique?"
Qin Xi said, "The only person in Yunzhong who cultivated the Great Primordial Devil Technique was Mei Feng, the City Lord of Descending Star City. He was killed by me in the Sea of Returning Ruins, and the matter about the Primordial Devil Stele wasn't leaked …"
At this point, he suddenly paused.
"Yang Chengji."
Mo Tiange slowly said this name, "Guifang Demon Monarch knew about the Primordial Devil Stele, so he secretly sneaked into the underground palace in the Sea of Returning Ruins. In the end, he failed at the last step, and the Primordial Devil Stele was obtained by Yang Chengji."
Nie Wushang was stunned. "Guifang Demon Monarch died several decades ago, and Yang Chengji disappeared without a trace. I've never heard any news about him …"
Mo Tiange said, "When we came out of the secret place in the Sea of Returning Ruins, we were separated from Yang Chengji. We don't know where he went."
"He couldn't have been caught by Demon Monarch Yue Ying, right?"
Nie Wushang raised a possibility, but after thinking about it, she denied it. "That's not right. If he was caught, he wouldn't have needed to catch me."
Everyone was silent, and everyone was thinking.
"Everyone," Ling Yunhe suddenly said, "if you want to find out the reason, can you wait until later?
I didn't come here for this matter. "
"Oh, sorry." Nie Wushang smiled apologetically. "Fellow Daoist Ling, do you have any questions?"
Ling Yunhe said, "Fellow Daoist Tiancan, what about your promise?"
Nie Wushang said without hesitation, "We'll fulfill it. We'll go now."
"Right!"
Mo Tiange asked, "You asked Fellow Daoist Ling to pass the message 'The sacrificial temple has appeared. Come quickly.' What does this have to do with the sacrificial temple?"
Nie Wushang pursed her lips and smiled. "In fact, I said that on purpose to make you pay attention to it. Come quickly."
"…" Mo Tiange shook her head. "If we knew you were in danger, we'd naturally come as soon as possible."
Nie Wushang was stunned, but she felt warm in her heart. She said, "But it's true.
Before I met Demon Monarch Yue Ying, I came out of Closed Door Meditation to participate in the Devil Cultivator's trade fair and got the news.
This matter hasn't been spread out yet, but we'd better hurry up. Who knows when it'll be known by others. "
Mo Tiange nodded. "The Black Tortoise Sacrificial Temple is still in Carefree Valley, right?"
"How did you know?"
Nie Wushang was astonished. "At that devil cultivators' trade fair, I got in touch with a former elder of Starfall City and got some information from him. Only then did I find out that City Lord Mei obtained the Primordial Devil Great Art from Black Tortoise Sacrificial Temple. Therefore, at that time, he lured us Core Formation cultivators together and fed us to the Primordial Devils he created, helping him reach the heavens in a single bound.
Unexpectedly, his plan failed and the Primordial Devil was swallowed by me. "
What happened in Starfall City could be said to have changed Nie Wushang's life. If they weren't trapped by Mei Feng and couldn't escape, Nie Wushang wouldn't have swallowed the Primordial Devil and turned into a real devil cultivator.
Mo Tiange said, "Every dog has its day. The Primordial Devil Stele in your hand now belongs to Mei Feng."
"I guessed it."
Nie Wushang smiled and turned to look at everyone. "How about it? Everyone, it won't be a problem to go to Carefree Valley right away, right?"
Qin Xi, Jing Xingzhi, and Mo Tiange didn't need to ask. Only Ling Yunhe said, "I'm ready for this trip."
Nie Wushang smiled. "That's good."
"But …" Ling Yunhe said, "Since we've decided to go there immediately, can Fellow Daoist Tiancan tell us what kind of place it is?"
Nie Wushang hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. Mo Tiange said, "Fellow Daoist Ling, you've also been to the Vermilion Bird Sacrificial Temple, so you should know about it."
Ling Yunhe frowned. "The Black Tortoise Sacrificial Temple you mentioned is the same place as the Vermilion Bird Sacrificial Temple?"
"Correct." Mo Tiange nodded.
Ling Yunhe pondered. "There's the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise. Could it be that there's also the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger?"
No one answered.
The matter about the sacrificial temple was not only a great fated chance, but it was also related to the secret of the great chaos in the world. How could Mo Tiange easily say it?
If she went to the Black Tortoise Sacrificial Temple and got Ling Yunhe's fated chance, it could also be considered as repaying him for his help.
Thinking up to this point, an idea came to her mind.
The Black Tortoise's attribute was water. Among the four of them and their spiritual beasts, only she and Xiaofan had water spiritual roots. This fated chance wouldn't fall into Ling Yunhe's hands, right?
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Ling, you said before that you knew about the destruction of heaven and earth. Can you tell me now?"
After these past few days, Ling Yunhe had completely calmed down.
It was just that he'd been repressed for too long. Whether it was Jiuyan Sect or Ling Clan, they both made him extremely depressed. Now, he also had a big secret suppressed in his heart, so his mood fluctuated. He didn't really want to do anything.
In fact, even if Mo Tiange really did respond, he still had to think about it. Daoists advocated the natural way, and matters of the heart also happened naturally. Feelings that were snatched from others didn't have a good beginning, nor did they have a good ending; it was a hindrance to cultivation.
Now that he heard Mo Tiange's question, he said, "This matter has to start from the Immortal Palace in the Returning Ruins Sea …"
