PS: Tomorrow at midnight.
In the Cave of Secrets, smoke curled up from the incense burner in the room. Two Taoists sat opposite each other.
The Taoist with disheveled hair was the cave master, Yu Gu Xie. The one sitting opposite him was his Shixiong, Guo Nanxing.
This person was no more than three feet tall and looked like a child. The wrinkles on his face were like the wrinkles of a withered tree. His eyes flashed with an ominous glint. He looked at Yu Gu Xie and said in a hoarse voice, "Shidi, this pair of demons is rarely seen in a hundred years. If we can capture them, we can each have one. Who knows, we might be able to refine them into a good blood soul and increase our cultivation. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't you come with me? If we let those old fellows take them, won't we have to look at their faces in the future? "
Yu Gu Xie avoided his gaze and said, "Shixiong, about this... let me think about it carefully."
Guo Nanxing was not angry. He let out an unpleasant laugh and stood up. He said, "No rush, no rush. Shidi, why don't you think about it for a few more days? I will wait here for your good news."
Yu Gu Xie stood up and politely sent him out.
His eldest disciple, Qian Yi, looked outside. Seeing that Guo Nanxing had completely disappeared, he came forward and said in a low voice, "Master, why didn't you agree to him?"
Yu Gu Xie looked at him with displeasure and said coldly, "What do you know? We have the Little Devil's Cave in our hands. What demon can we not get? Why do we need to spend so much effort to find them? If this demon is really as good as Old Devil Guo said, why would only our two sects covet them? There will be countless people watching. Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to stay here and cultivate. You should also calm your mind and stop thinking about useless things. "
Qian Yi was reprimanded, but he didn't care. Instead, he said, "Master, disciple said something I shouldn't have said. The Little Devil's Cave is under the jurisdiction of the Azure Sect. We might have a conflict with them at any time. This is not a long-term plan."
Yu Gu Xie snorted disdainfully and said, "Last time, we killed a few Australian Cang disciples and a few of them escaped. Although a Nascent Soul cultivator came down to investigate, it was just a false story. He went back after one round, leaving the matter unsettled. If the Australian Cang sect really wanted to interfere, how could there be no movement for more than twenty years? Your worry is really unnecessary. "
Qian Yi still wanted to say something, but Yu Gu Xie became impatient. He flicked his sleeve and said, "Alright, you can leave. Right, go call Junior Brother Qihan over."
Qian Yi lowered his head and said, "Yes, then I will take my leave."
Yu Gu Xie's eyes fell on the table. He picked up a letter that had been opened long ago and read it again. Then he walked around the cave with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something. Not long after, footsteps sounded behind him. A thin young cultivator with delicate features walked into the room and bowed. "Disciple Han Ji greets Master."
Yu Gu Xie turned around and showed a kind smile. He said, "Disciple is here. Sit, no need to stand on ceremony.
Han Ji bowed again and waited for Yu Gu Xie to sit down before he took a seat next to him.
Yu Gu Xie said slowly, "I called you here to ask you a question."
Han Ji sat up straight and said seriously, "Master, please speak."
Yu Gu Xie's gaze drifted to the outside of the cave and said, "I heard that after the Great Competition, the Ao Cang Sect has been hunting down our demonic disciples everywhere. A few days ago, they even sent one of the top ten disciples, Ning Chongxuan, to kill that old demon, Xi Wuzi. You're from the Han Clan. In your opinion, would they also do something in the Little Demon Cave?"
Han Ji lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he said, "Master, it's hard to say. The Little Devil Cave was originally under the name of Shouming Palace. Zhenren Peng, who was guarding this place before, was very low-key and never wanted to cause trouble. So we could come and go without any trouble. But now that the Grand Competition is over, I heard that this Zhenren's status is different from the past. Moreover, the Little Devil Cave is the backyard of her cave. In my opinion, the Demon Path is about to prosper, and the Ao Cang Sect will not ignore it. It's just a matter of time."
Yu Gu Xie's expression became a little solemn. He sighed and said, "What you said makes sense. If one day, we are really forced to give up this place, it will be a pity. It seems that we can't stay here for long. We need to find a way out."
He frowned and thought for a moment. Then he changed his tone and said, "Han Ji, you have always been very insightful. In your opinion, should we agree to your Uncle-Master's request or not?"
Han Ji thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "In my opinion, since Uncle-Master is so concerned about that devil, I'm afraid things are not that simple."
Yu Gu Xie waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. You can say it directly." Han Ji cupped his hands and said, "Then I will say it directly. But this is only my guess. If I am wrong, I hope Master won't blame me."
Yu Gu Xie smiled and said, "I won't blame you. Tell me quickly."
Han Ji subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Master, I think that the key is not the pair of devils, but where exactly did they come from."
Yu Gu Xie's body trembled slightly. Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up. He suddenly looked over and said, "You mean, the devil's lair that we don't know where?"
Han Ji nodded seriously and said, "Very likely!"
Yu Gu Xie took a deep breath. His fists under the sleeves of his robe loosened and tightened, then loosened and tightened again.
There used to be ten great devil's lair in the Donghua Continent. Tens of thousands of years ago, when the fortune of the Xuanmen was at its peak, they had destroyed and suppressed four devil's lair underground palaces.
Until now, no one knew where the remaining four were. But now, the Demon Gate was about to prosper. The heavens would change, and the devil's lair would appear one by one. If someone could occupy it first, as long as they could hold on to it, even if they did not become the ancestor of the sect, at least becoming a grotto-heaven would not be an extravagant hope.
Thinking of this, his heart also heated up. He lightly slammed his fist on the table and said, "Makes sense!"
He was also a cave master. Previously, he did not realize this because he had the devil's lair in his hands and did not want to cause trouble. Thus, he resisted in his heart and tried to evade it. But now that Han Ji had pointed out this layer of window paper, he immediately came to a realization.
However, this matter would not be so simple. With his strength alone, wanting to occupy the entire devil's lair was also wishful thinking.
He was silent for a while, thinking things through in his mind. Then, he turned around, picked up a brush, and wrote a letter. He did not seal it and just handed it to Han Ji. He pointed at it and said, "Among my disciples, you are the most level-headed and have the highest vision. I can entrust you to this. Take this letter and immediately set off to that sect. Remember, you have to personally deliver this letter to your grandmaster. Do not trust anyone easily. If you do not see the grandmaster, do not come back."
Han Ji was stunned. Then, he immediately stood up. He did not ask what the matter was. After receiving the letter, he bowed respectfully and retreated. He left the cave abode and then rode a blood-colored mystic light toward the west.
Just Now, he had not gone far when a majestic cloud of smoke with an extraordinary aura came from the horizon and landed at the foot of the mountain with a loud bang.
Because he did not have any intention of concealing himself, he immediately attracted the attention of the disciples guarding the mountain.
They were all people with sharp eyebrows and could naturally tell from the cloud that the other party was a disciple of the Celestial Sect. Moreover, his cultivation was not ordinary. It was very likely that he was a Core Formation cultivator. Their hearts unconsciously tightened.
However, they had lived at the foot of this Hidden Owl Mountain for dozens of years and did not have any enemies. Especially in the past twenty years, with the little devil's lair to capture devils, all of them immersed themselves in cultivation, and no one came to provoke them. For a moment, they were not sure whether the other party was just passing by or coming to pick a fight.
After a discussion, the two disciples decided that one would report to their master, and the other would come to inquire.
Zhang Yan walked slowly up the mountain alone. The disciple who flew over saw his free and unfettered appearance from afar and did not dare to look down on him. When he came close, the disciple stopped the flying light and landed. He cupped his hands and said, "Daoist, please stop. If you go any further, you will be in the territory of my Secret Cave. We have never accepted foreign guests. Please state your purpose for coming."
Zhang Yan smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I am here to see the cave master of this place and not let him down."
The disciple was stunned and his expression became more respectful. He returned the greeting and said, "So you are an acquaintance of my master. May I know how I should address you?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I am Zhang Yan. Go back and report, just say that someone from Ao Cang Sect has come."
Hearing that he was from Ao Cang Sect, the disciple was shocked. He could not care about anything else and hurriedly went back to report.
Zhang Yan didn't move forward either. Instead, he stood there quietly without moving.
Not long after, he saw a blood-red cloud rising into the sky like a firework. He squinted his eyes to take a closer look and saw that the cloud was bright and dazzling, without the slightest hint of evil or demonic Qi. It was just a big red ball, gathered together, like the sun shining in the sky. He knew that the cultivation technique was profound, and it should be the owner of the cloud.
When Yu Gu Xie heard that the person from Ao Cang Sect was the famous Zhang Yan, he was also shocked. But it was not good to hide so he immediately showed himself. After showing off for a while, he landed on the ground and turned the blood cloud into a big red robe. He stared at Zhang Yan and cupped his hands and said, "So it is Ao Cang Sect, ranked ninth among the top ten disciples. May I know why you are here?"
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said indifferently, "Nothing else. I am here to ask Fellow Yu. You trespassed into my sect's territory and killed my disciple without asking. What is the reason for this?"
Yu Gu Xie was silent for a while. Then, he snorted and said, "Since you already know, then I have nothing else to say. It's just a fight between us."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "That is exactly what I wanted."
Yu Gu Xie said coldly, "If I win, I will definitely refine Fellow Daoist's corporeal body into a demonic artifact. I will definitely not disgrace Fellow Daoist. If I lose, I will allow Daoist Sir to do as you please. However, can you let my disciple go?"
Zhang Yan shook his head and sighed, "If you don't remove the roots, it will grow again when the spring wind blows."
Yu Gu Xie's eyes became cold. He stared at Zhang Yan and said, "Fine, then let me experience Fellow Yu's brilliance."
But right at this moment, the sound of a gong rang out from the clouds in the sky, and a ray of blood-red light flew over. It circled in the air and landed on the ground, revealing an ugly boy. It was Guo Nanxing, and behind him were two disciples. They were also covered in red clouds, and it seemed that their cultivation levels were not weak either.
He laughed strangely and said, "Junior Brother, I Just Now heard from my disciple that someone is bullying your territory? Don't panic. Why don't you and I work together to kill this person and then go find the demon? Wouldn't that be great? "
Yu Gu Xie sneered, "Since Senior Brother is interested, how can I spoil your fun? But since we've already made our move, we can no longer hold back. If we let this person leave today, we will never have a day of peace."
Guo Nanxing laughed out loud. He licked his lips and glared at Zhang Yan. Ferocious light shot out from his eyes as he said in a harsh tone, "I happen to be in need of a suitable blood soul. Since you don't know what's good for you, I will use you to refine!"
At that moment, two more blood clouds flew over from the sky. Yu Gu Xie landed on the left and right of him. One of them was his eldest disciple, Qian Yi. He cupped his hands and said loudly, "Master, we have already checked outside. This person came here alone. No one from the same sect came with him."
Just Now, when Yu Gu Xie found out that Zhang Yan had come, he also felt fear in his heart. He was afraid that the Ao Cang Sect had come to take his life today, so he secretly sent disciples to investigate. It seemed like there were many people. When he heard that Zhang Yan had come alone, he unconsciously relaxed and his spirits rose. He looked at Zhang Yan and said with a smile, "Priest Zhang, I have also vaguely heard of your abilities, but did you not think that my Senior Brother is a guest in your residence? You have made a mistake by coming here alone today! "
At that moment, Zhang Yan was facing a total of six Blood Soul Sect Core Formation cultivators, but he stood there with a calm expression, without the slightest fear. He said indifferently, "In I's eyes, all of you will be dead souls under my sword in a moment. One more or one less, it is all the same."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of sword light flashed out swiftly and fiercely.
