They could see the entirety of Qu Shuang City below. Above the immortal meridian, Qu Shuang City was shrouded in Immortal Qi. Outside the city, however, the Immortal Qi was thinner. From above, Qu Shuang City looked like it was protruding. What stood out even more was its shape. Originally, immortal cities did not have a fixed shape. If one wanted to stay in the city for a long time, they could build a house in the city with the City Lord's permission. That was why the city was very spacious.
However, looking down from the sky, the entire Qu Shuang City had become squarish. It was as though it was an immortal city that had been measured. There was not a single inch more than it was. What's more, the biggest street in the city was right in the middle, dividing the city into two perfect halves: the east and the west.
He didn't notice it in the past, but now that he had flown so high up, he realized that the entire landscape of Qu Shuang City looked like … a door! A huge door. Bao Feiping thought back to the places where the Immortal Qi was different. He compared them to the nails on the door.
"City Lord Bao." Lonemoon suddenly asked, "Is there a way to hide the Immortal Qi temporarily? Or an immortal artifact that can see through the immortal meridian? "
"See through the immortal meridian? You mean … "Bao Feiping's heart sank. A terrifying thought came to him. He nodded hurriedly." Yes! The Sky-Shrouding Art will do. "
With that, he conjured a seal with both hands. With a wave of his hand, a human-faced water mirror appeared in front of the four of them. They looked down through the water mirror. All the Immortal Qi in the city had disappeared. There was a silver immortal meridian flowing in the city. After a while, the immortal meridian faded away, revealing what was inside. It was a thick black.
Just as Shen Ying had said, it was a huge black door. There were two red-eyed toad rings on the door. Demonic Qi swirled around it. Just by looking at it through the spell, one could feel the cold and sinister aura seeping into their bones.
The door to the demonic realm!
Bao Feiping's hand trembled. He did not even manage to maintain his spell. The water mirror in front of him broke into pieces. His heart was in a mess. All the things that he could not figure out before suddenly became clear to him. Why did the demon suddenly disappear? Why could he not find any traces of it anywhere? Why could it easily break through the demon-breaking array outside the city and enter the City Lord's Abode?
It turned out that there really was a gate to the Demon Realm. It wasn't located somewhere in Qu Shuang City, but the entire Qu Shuang City itself was the gate.
It was true that there was an immortal meridian in Qu Shuang City, but this immortal meridian was actually the seal of the Door to the Demonic Realm.
Bao Feiping broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of this. His face turned even paler. "Brother Lonemoon, this is a serious matter. I have to inform my father as soon as possible!" Now that the door had been found, it wasn't enough to just report it to the capital. They had to let Jun Shang know as well.
"Please go ahead, City Lord." Lonemoon nodded. "If there's anything you need, just say the word. My Invincible Sect will do our best to help."
"Thank you!" Only then did he fly down to arrange the follow-up work.
Lonemoon lowered his head and looked at Qu Shuang City once again. Although the gate to the demonic world did not show any signs of opening, the demonic Qi surrounding it was already very shocking. Especially those spots where the Immortal Qi was thin, it was obvious that the Immortal Meridian was about to be unable to suppress the Demon Sect. The Demon Race that had barged into the City Lord's Mansion might have been a small fry that had found a loophole, or it might not even have a complete Demon Race body.
Qu Shuang City was no longer suitable for immortals to continue cultivating. If the Immortal Meridian in the city got weaker and weaker, the gate to the demonic world would appear one day. It looked like Bao Feiping was going to be very busy.
However, he was not worried that the gate would open now. After all, according to the plot, opening the gate required a huge price. Moreover, it required the Demon Race's bloodline.
After that, Bao Feiping was really busy. First, he closed the immortal city, only allowing people to leave and not enter. He also informed Bao Yi, who had gone to report the situation. Now that the gate had been found, what to do next was not something they could interfere with. Lonemoon did not stay for long. He found the gate and returned to Invincible Sect.
— — —
Three months later.
Lonemoon's mouth twitched as he looked at the three people who had suddenly appeared at the table in front of him. He almost dropped the basket in his hand.
He had only gone out to pick up some spring onions. What the hell happened?
Where did these people come from?
"Brother Lonemoon!" Bao Feiping was overjoyed. He smiled brightly and welcomed them. "Long time no see. How are you?"
"City Lord Bao." Lonemoon glanced at them. "You guys …"
"It's all because of the gate to the demonic realm." Bao Feiping sighed and explained, "After I reported the matter, Emperor Ge You personally came to Qu Shuang City to check it out. He confirmed that it was indeed the gate to the demonic realm. As a precaution, the whole of Qu Shuang City has been sealed. "
"Sealed? What about the gate? "
"I'm not sure about that. Emperor is the person with the highest cultivation level in this country. He's also an Immortal Emperor! There must be a way to solve this, right? "Bao Feiping guessed.
"…" Lonemoon frowned. He was not so optimistic. The plot of the book did not mention anything about a way to solve this.
"After Qu Shuang City was sealed, Emperor promised to give our family another immortal city. However, it will take some time for the decree to be issued. We can't stay in Qu Shuang City. We thought of Brother Lonemoon's invitation last time, so we came here. "
"…" He had mentioned it casually last time. You're really not polite. You even brought your whole family here.
"We'll probably be staying here for a while. Will we be disturbing you?"
"No … disturbing!" What was the point of saying that? You're all here!
He silently glared at a certain someone who only cared about eating. Then, he strode into the kitchen and greeted Bao Yi, who was on the other side of the room. He brought a bag of scallions into the kitchen.
"I just realized that Invincible Sect is a good place," Bao Feiping said with a smile. "Your disciples all have their own strengths. Compared to Qu Shuang City, this place is much livelier."
"City Lord Bao, you flatter me …" Lonemoon's smile deepened. He put on a business-like expression.
The two of them began to flatter each other. From time to time, Bao Yi, who was carrying his grandson, would join in.
Shen Ying was not interested in all this. She focused on eating her food. After taking two bites, she felt someone staring at her intently. She turned around and saw Ning Zi 'an looking at her with a pair of black grape-like eyes. His eyes were full of curiosity.
When he saw her looking at him, he paused for a moment. Then, he gave her a smile as bright as the sun. He turned to look at a piece of pastry on the table. He looked eager to try it.
"Do you want to eat it?" she asked.
Ning Zi 'an looked at the pastry, then back at her. He frowned and seemed to be hesitating. After a while, he could not resist the temptation and slowly nodded.
"Oh …" Shen Ying picked up the pastry from the plate and moved closer to his little face. "This is a walnut pastry."
Ning Zi 'an's eyes lit up. Just as he reached out to take the pastry, Shen Ying's chopsticks spun. The pastry spun in front of his eyes and with a "Ahhh", she stuffed it into her mouth. It made a series of crisp, crunching sounds.
Ning Zi 'an: "…"
(̄ д ̄)
He was completely stunned. His little eyes were red and full of grievance.
Shen Ying smiled at him mischievously. Then, she picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites. She finished all the food on the plate in front of him. Not even a peanut was spared.
When she was done, she even burped.
Ning Zi 'an: "…" He really wanted to cry. He pursed his lips and snorted. Then, he buried his head in Bao Yi's arms and refused to look at her again.
Sigh … Bullying children is really addictive!
