At night.
The Devil Sect's important place.
The representatives of the various sects gathered in a room.
They were sitting at a huge table.
Their gazes all looked at the woman with a powerful aura at the side of the table.
The woman's skin was extremely white, so white that it was almost transparent. Time had not left any traces on her face. Just the corner of her veil that was revealed was already filled with an intoxicating charm. Her pair of beautiful eyes were coldly looking at the people below her, who all had different expressions on their faces.
They were full of ridicule.
"Do you think Shi Zhixuan came out this time just to find Doubloons?
You have no part in it? "
Zhu Yuyan looked at the people in the hall and only saw a group of cowering quails.
They had clearly reached the point of abyss of suffering.
They naively thought that they could escape this calamity because they were blind.
The Evil King Shi Zhixuan had returned to the martial arts world.
The disciples of the Yin Sunflower Sect had already sent the news to her.
Joo Ok-yeon knew that the latter's target was definitely not just the Devil Sect.
His target was even bigger.
It was very likely that it was the legendary Evil Emperor's relic.
And the group of Devil Sect disciples in front of her naively thought that they could escape this calamity by hiding.
Someone was unconvinced. "Then what is Empress Yin going to do?
Don't forget that the Evil King has always been in the Devil Sect.
Don't tell me we can deal with his disciples? "
Shi Zhixuan was the most outstanding figure after the Evil Emperor Yu Huatian. If Shi Zhixuan wanted to return to the martial arts world,
No one could stop him.
Not even Joo Ok-yeon.
Several young experts of the Flowery Sect and many people of the Devil Sect were under Shi Zhixuan.
It could be said that even if Shi Zhixuan had not appeared in the martial arts world for many years, he still had his forces in the cracks of the Devil Sect.
This was also part of the reason why Joo Ok-yeon could not completely unify the Devil Sect.
Who would have thought …
Hearing this …
Joo Ok-yeon did not care.
She did not think that those disciples had a place in Shi Zhixuan's heart.
She sneered. "That guy is cold-hearted when it comes to relationships.
Do you think he cares about those disciples? "
"Don't joke."
"For the sake of his goal, even if those people died in front of him, he wouldn't even bat an eye."
"If he treats his disciples like this, do you think that he will uphold the thought of being from the same sect as the Demon Sect and let you go?
Or is it under the condition that all of you hand over Eunuch Yang's Treasure? "
Not to mention his disciple, even if it was his family that disobeyed Shi Zhixuan, he would still dare to kill them.
"Besides, we're not going to deal with his disciple. Our goal is to make Shi Zhixuan behave for the time being."
When Joo Ok-yeon found out about the Demonic Emperor's Relic, she immediately sent her disciples to the Doubloons. She knew that the latter would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
She decided to put aside the grudges between her and Shi Zhixuan for now. The most important thing right now was the Demonic Emperor's Sarira.
Originally, she did not feel at ease letting Wan Wan search for the Demonic Emperor's Relic. However, she was currently unable to do anything else and had to find someone to suppress Shi Zhixuan. Before that, however, she had to make sure that the Demon Sect would not drag her down.
When the people of Mieqing Sect saw that she seemed to have a card up her sleeve, they were certain that she had a way to make Shi Zhixuan behave. They stood still and looked at her with puzzlement.
"Empress Yin, do you have a way to make Shi Zhixuan not attack?"
As soon as the voice faded away, everyone looked at Joo Ok-yeon.
When Joo Ok-yeon saw their gazes, her expression turned cold. When she heard the words, she could not help but pause. She remembered that terrifying person in her memory. His every move was terrifying. Even though she was the Sect Master of Yin Sunflower Sect, she was still terrified of him.
Joo Ok-yeon took a deep breath and said calmly, "There is indeed such a person."
"If he comes out, even Evil King Shi Zhixuan will have to respect him. He won't dare to say a word."
As a young couple, no one knew better than Joo Ok-yeon how much she respected the person she loved. No, not only Shi Zhixuan, but Joo Ok-yeon also realized that she respected that person so much.
It was not because of any reason, but because of that person's charm.
Many years had passed, but she could still remember that person's voice and smile.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was very shocked. One after another, they looked at each other. They wanted to find the person Zhu Yuyan was talking about from their memories. Unfortunately, they couldn't think of who it was that could make Shi Zhixuan not dare to act blindly without thinking as soon as he came out of the mountain. Even when Zhu Yuyan, who was sitting on the seat of honor, mentioned this person, there was no lack of admiration in her words.
However, Joo Ok-yeon was not willing to explain.
She threw out a sentence, "Three days later, we will meet at Mount Simon. That's where that person's seclusion is."
After saying that, she left.
They did not appear at the foot of the mountain until three days later.
This time, there was one more person, Hou Xibai.
Seeing the handsome young man waving the folding fan in his hand, Joo Ok-yeon's face immediately darkened. She realized that there was a traitor in the Demon Sect and that the traitor had sent the news to Shi Zhixuan. The latter must have known about her actions and sent a disciple.
When Hou Xibai saw Joo Ok-yeon, he immediately told her what his master had told him, "Empress Yin, my master asked me to pass a message to you."
"Speak!"
"What happened when you were young is in the past. Even if you are in front of my father, please don't say anything."
Joo Ok-yeon frowned when she heard that. She knew that Shi Zhixuan was warning her not to tell her father. He already knew that she went to the mountain.
She sneered and said, "He also knows that he is guilty?
I can only promise that I won't say anything when we go up the mountain. But if that person asks, I will tell him everything. "
Once she finished speaking, she turned around and went up the mountain.
Hou Xibai remained where he was with a pensive look on his face. When he saw Empress Yin's expression just now, he suddenly remembered a terrifying fact. Could the father she mentioned be Shi Zhixuan's father? Was that why he warned Empress Yin? When he remembered the love between them when they were young, the possibility of this happening was very high.
The weather was very good.
The path leading to the top of the mountain was winding and winding. The representatives from the Demon Sect followed Empress Yin and Joo Ok-yeon up the mountain. Occasionally, they had to be on guard against the wind. While they used their qi to protect their bodies, they also had to maintain their body temperature. Quite a number of people gritted their teeth and persevered.
Joo Ok-yeon, who was in the lead, came here every year, and she was very familiar with the situation on the mountain. She was familiar with the path and found the method that saved her energy. She quickly moved up the mountain. As for the people behind her, she only cast them a cold glance and did not help them.
Instead, she urged them to hurry up.
"Hurry up and follow me."
Then, she began to speed up as well.
The wind on the mountain would become even more terrifying the closer they were to the top. Only by speeding up would they have a chance to go up. The people behind her were already at a disadvantage. Once more wind came, someone would definitely be sacrificed.
When they heard Joo Ok-yeon's words, the people from the Demon Sect looked at each other before they raised their heads and followed her closely.
They finally reached the top of the mountain.
Joo Ok-yeon landed on the top of the mountain. She looked at the wooden house at the top of the mountain with a respectful gaze. The door of the wooden house was slightly ajar. There was a well around it, and there was a golden-furred monkey sitting cross-legged beside the well. When the monkey smelled someone else's presence, it immediately opened its eyes and began to squeak.
Joo Ok-yeon said in an ingratiating tone, "Kong, please inform your ancestor that Ah Yan is here."
The golden-furred monkey also recognized her. It tilted its head and looked at her before it looked at the group of people behind her. Quite a number of the Demon Sect members were not stupid. They obediently let the monkey look at them and did not dare to move.
Joo Ok-yeon explained, "This is Ah Yan's subordinate."
The golden-furred monkey withdrew its gaze and squeaked twice, as if it was asking Joo Ok-yeon to wait there. It turned around and returned to the wooden house, closing the wooden door behind it.
Xie Lige was sitting cross-legged in the wooden house and chatting with the System. He was complaining about his second son's unreliability. Why did he have a disobedient bastard son? It was not easy to teach him to be an adult, but the latter went down the mountain and began to stir up trouble, while he could not go down the mountain because of the plot.
This was too much.
After listening to Xie Lige's complaints, the System shrank into a ball and stammered, "This is the Main System's intention."
The Main System did not allow Xie Lige to go down and stir up trouble. Even the System did not have the authority to allow him to go down. He originally thought that he would stay on the mountain for a few years, but he did not expect that the Main System was much more ruthless than he imagined. He stayed on the mountain for 30 years.
The System now had no confidence in front of the host.
It felt guilty and guilty.
When Xie Lige saw the System's guilty look, he sighed. He could not blame his second son anymore. After all, the latter had been sullen and stood on his side. When he was about to say something.
The golden-furred monkey pushed the door open and came in.
It ran to him and waved its hands for a while, and squeaked from time to time. Xie Lige understood.
The people outside the wooden house only felt a cold and solemn voice resounding in their ears, speaking neither too fast nor too slow.
"Ah Yan brought so many people here?
Where is Ah Xuan? "
Hearing this, the people only felt that their hearts were pressed by a mountain. Their originally casual attitude became much more respectful, with some fear. They felt that the person in the wooden house was very powerful, and could kill them with one move.
Thus, they were much more obedient.
Joo Ok-yeon, who was the leader, heard the question and quickly replied, "Ancestor, Ah Yan is here to invite you down the mountain. Ah Xuan also sent people here."
"Oh?
Is that so? "
As soon as the words fell.
A fair and handsome young monk walked out of the wooden house. He closed his eyes and walked to the door. When he heard Joo Ok-yeon's words, he raised the corner of his mouth and slowly opened his eyes. When the people saw this scene, they could not help but take a step back.
It was a pair of blood-red eyes.
The blood-red eyes were like hell on earth. All kinds of scenes of slaughter appeared one after another. Blood flowed like a river. It was extremely tragic. Everyone who met the young monk's gaze felt a chill in their hearts. They wanted nothing more than to hide. This monk was too terrifying.
He was like a demon.
He was obviously wearing a monk's costume, but it inexplicably made people feel cold and scared.
"You are Ah Xuan's disciple, right?"
Xie Lige's eyes fell on Hou Xibai, the only one who saw him and did not retreat. His blood-red eyes slightly narrowed, but he looked straight at Hou Xibai's heart.
Hou Xibai was stared at by him.
He saw the cruel scene in the monk's blood-red eyes and only felt that he could not move. He felt that he was completely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He could only nod stiffly.
He forced himself to resist the urge to run away.
Xie Lige raised his eyebrows and looked at Joo Ok-yeon. He gently closed his palms, and his blood-red eyes closed again. He said in a very fake tone, "I haven't seen an old friend for many years. I didn't expect that Ah Xuan would not even see his father. I'm really sad."
Joo Ok-yeon's heart sank.
