Inside the Sishui Courtyard in Kong City, Fang Yun was trying his best to suppress his nervousness in a cave in the First Star City of the Demon Ancestor's Sect.
If the Demon Ancestor was just a Half-saint, Fang Yun wouldn't be so nervous. But what happened in the Comet Corridor was too bizarre. Once exposed, the descendant of the Demon Ancestor would probably kill him. In front of this Half-saint, Fang Yun had almost no ability to resist.
However, Fang Yun was still standing straight without bending his back.
"The Occult Orb was given to you by Fu Yue?" The Demon Saint's voice came from all directions.
"Yes." Fang Yundao didn't know that the small meteor was called an Occult Orb until now.
"Why was he on good terms with you?"
"According to him, it was because of my potential and talent. He was deceived by the Demon Emperor, so he wanted to take revenge. I'm a human being, and the Demon Emperor is my sworn enemy. I'll avenge him if I have the chance. Besides, the Occult Orb is useless to him. "
"Well, I'll take your words as true. I just can't figure out how you passed through all the corridors. Tell me. "
"Scholars have seven orifices, and the Demon Ancestor likes to leave people with a slim chance of survival. There are many traces in the Comet Corridor. That's why I was able to move forward step by step. Of course, you can also say that I was very lucky. "
"Are there any clues? Why don't you tell me about the clues in these corridors? "
Fang Yun started with the First Corridor. He said that he wanted to feel the power in the First Corridor, which was a blessing in disguise. Then he talked about the pattern of the floating ice in the Floating Ice River, the efforts of the people in the Avalanche Slope, the pattern of the meteors falling on the Bridge of Falling Stars, and his final feeling. He talked about the Seventh Corridor, where he passed it with the help of his Literary Courage.
Fang Yun knew how terrifying the Demon Saint was, so he didn't lie at all. But he would never say anything that would put him in danger, either.
The Demon Saint was silent for a long time after hearing that. Then he said, "Humans are indeed different from demons, and you are different from ordinary humans. I'm afraid that even the Half-saint can't think of the wonderful ideas in your head. Not bad. "
"Thank you for the compliment, Demon Saint," Fang Yundao said.
"Tell me about the collapse of the seventh corridor. I want to know the details!"
Fang Yun sighed inwardly. He knew that this Demon Saint was not easy to fool. So, he recounted the events of the seventh corridor as he recalled them. He purposely left out some parts of the story, but as long as he mentioned them, the Demon Saint would be shocked. There was not a single lie in his words.
When they talked about the collapse of the Comet Corridor, Fang Yun told them the truth. He really didn't know what happened. Even now, he still didn't understand why the Wondrous Book World sucked the stone away.
"Well, at least you're not stupid."
Fang Yun immediately understood that this Demon Sage definitely knew that he was hiding something. But because he didn't deliberately deceive the Demon Saint, the Demon Saint wouldn't get angry because of this. It had the bearing of knowing that when the water was too clear, there would be no fish, so it turned a blind eye.
"Actually, I already knew that the Comet Corridor would be destroyed. I knew it when the Holy Ground opened in advance."
Fang Yun remained silent, waiting for the Beast Saint to speak.
"Because of my grandfather's instructions, I still remember a lot of his words clearly. In your words. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let us descendants decide for ourselves. "
Fang Yun still didn't speak.
"You humans are indeed scheming and astute. You knew that the Blood Demon Barbarian's strength had increased greatly and had become a threat to us Star Demon Barbarians, so the human Half-saint chose to make his move here. Not only could I not stop the humans, but I also had to help and cut off the Demon Barbarian Saint's connection with the Demon Realm and the stars in the heavens. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed so easily. "
Fang Yun vaguely felt that this Demon Saint's words had a hidden meaning. It seemed a little abrupt to talk about this at this time. It didn't seem like it was talking to a High Scholar, but more like it was talking to the Half-saint.
"I thank the Demon Saint on behalf of the human race," Fang Yun said.
"You're good, you know how to thank me. That old bastard Fu Yue was clearly saved by my grandfather, but he still holds a grudge. If not for the Comet Corridor, he would have become a dead bastard. "
Fang Yun thought that this was interesting. Fu Yue said that the Demon Ancestor stole his treasured debris of the stars and wanted to use him. This person said that it was the Demon Ancestor who saved Fu Yue. It was a complete mess.
"Fu Yue's tone might not be good. But he still respects the Demon Ancestor, "Fang Yun said.
"You're protecting it. Fine, who would be angry after being suppressed for nearly ten thousand years? Well, let's talk about the others. Let's talk about you and me. We Star Demon Barbarians are particular about being clear when we do things. "
The Demon Saint's voice paused. Fang Yun's heart was in his throat.
"You took so much from the Comet Corridor. You have to leave something behind."
Fang Yun finally understood. This Demon Saint might have seen something, but he didn't know enough. He might not even know about the debris of the stars. He couldn't kill him, so he wanted to save some face. If Fang Yun didn't give him any face, he might fall out with him.
Fang Yun immediately calculated in his heart.
"I can't give him the Silver Light Stone under the Star King. I can't give him the Fierce King's' Peach Blossom Spring 'either. As for the things outside the Comet Corridor, my heart would ache if I gave them to him. The only things I can give him are the small meteor and the Dragon Breath Stone Engraving. But I'm still not satisfied. "
Fang Yun thought for a long time. Then, an idea flashed in his mind. He had seen too many things from the Ancient Demon Inheritance. Among them, there were some secrets of the Demon World. Some of these secrets were of great use to the semi-sage realm. However, they weren't of much use to him.
Fang Yundao said, "You might not know, but the Demon Emperor's rapid rise was largely due to the treasures and secret places he obtained from Senior Fu Yue. I know a few, but most of them are useless to you. But there is one place that is of great use to you. "
"Oh? Tell me about it. "The Demon Saint's voice was the same as before. There was no change in it.
"The core of the Demon Realm is called by the Ancient Demons … It's a little special when translated into Demon Language. It's called 'Wanwu Mountain'. There are many secrets in Wanwu Mountain. I'm sure you know about it. There's a place that you might not know about. The Akasha Tree grows there … "
The Demon Saint immediately interrupted Fang Yun and said, "You actually know about the Akasha Tree? Tell me the details! As long as you find the Akasha Tree, you'll be rewarded handsomely! "
"The entire Akasha Tree doesn't grow outside the mountain. Instead, it grows inside the mountain. The mountain doesn't have a name. You only know that if you walk from the Northmoon Tree to Wanwu Mountain, with Sacred Burial Valley as your target, you'll walk four hundred thousand kilometers. Then, you'll find a place suitable for the Ancient Demon Winged Rat to live in. The mountain is there. However, the world has changed. There should be no Winged Rat in Wanwu Mountain now, so I'm not sure where the Akasha Tree is. "
"Good! This clue is enough! If I find the Akasha Tree, I'll get … what I need. I'll definitely give you a generous gift! "
"Thank you, Demon Saint." Fang Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"However, if you lie to me and make me happy for nothing, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"I'm only saying that it was there in ancient times. I can't be sure if it's still there now. To prove my innocence, I'll draw what it looks like. "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he took out a brush and ink. He first drew the mountains there, then the Akasha Tree in the mountain's belly. He deliberately drew it vaguely. If he drew it too carefully, it would arouse the Demon Saint's suspicion.
After Fang Yun finished drawing, the two paintings automatically flew up and landed in front of the blue stone pillar.
"Not bad. It does look like Wanwu Mountain. Good! You did well in the imperial examination. I'll bet with Saint Li if you can get a perfect grade. If you can, I'll give you a small gift. "
Fang Yun was completely relieved. Since the Demon Saint said so, it meant that he would not pursue the matter of the Comet Corridor, at least not for now.
"Thank you for your kind words."
"You can call me Saint Lie. Alright. You may leave. "
A ray of moonlight fell …
The Sishui Courtyard was very lively. Many people who returned alive were surrounded by their friends and family, asking all sorts of questions.
Yan Yukong and the others gestured to their friends and family that they had something to do and continued to discuss Fang Yun's matter.
"Even De Lun said so. Then Fang Yun might really be in trouble. Sigh, whether he becomes the King of Stars or not, everything will be for naught. "
"Do any of you know the relationship between the Demon Saint of the Ancestral Plain and us humans?"
"We've never interacted. At least, I've never heard of it," Yan Yukong said.
"After all, he's a demon. 'Zuo Zhuan' once said, 'Those who are not of our race are bound to have different intentions.' Sigh … If Fang Yun is alive, everyone will be happy. If something happens to him, we owe him a lot. We can't just sit by and do nothing. "
"Of course! I might not be able to do other things, but he once destroyed a generation of demon barbarians. His contributions are greater than that of a scholar. I'll go to the Notre-Dame immediately and try to make him a Marquis of the Ten Nations to protect his family for three generations. "
"I'll go home immediately too. I'll tell the elders what happened in the Comet Corridor and protect the Fang family. "
"After leaving the Holy Ground, we still have to visit the temples. Let's find a place to rest first. It's not tiring in the Holy Ground, but it's too tiring in the Comet Corridor."
Li Fanming said, "You guys go rest first. I'll wait for a while. I believe Fang Yun will definitely come out!"
The big rabbit nodded while wiping its tears.
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Li Fanming, I heard that you bet on Fang Yun before going to the Holy Ground. You even went to Jade Sea City to sow discord between our Meng family and Fang Yun. Now, I really want to thank you for your instigation. What do you think?" Meng Linyu said with a smile.
Li Fanming coldly glanced at the fierce monarch's younger brother and said, "You'd better not cause trouble for yourself! If you dare to disrespect Fang Yun again, when I become a Grand Scholar, I'll definitely fight you and cripple your courage! "
Meng Linyu laughed and said, "I know a thing or two about your talent. It's better than mine, but it's limited. Alright, I'll wait for you. However, if you have the guts, then fight me, a Grand Scholar, with your status as a High Scholar. "
The surrounding people immediately cursed in their hearts. The fierce monarch's family was indeed shameless.
Yan Yukong stepped forward and said, "I'm still a High Scholar. Come, let's have a battle of wits. Do you dare?"
Meng Linyu was stunned. He didn't expect the head of the High Scholars to have such a good relationship with Li Fanming. He knew Yan Yukong's name very well. Even if he was a Grand Scholar, he wouldn't dare to have a battle of wits with Yan Yukong. He would definitely lose.
"You don't dare to have a battle of wits? Then get out of here and stop mocking us! Where were you when we were killing the demons in the Holy Ground? Get out! "Yan Yukong even used his Spring Thunder Tongue. A gust of wind blew towards Meng Linyu.
Everyone was puzzled. Yan Yukong had always been a gentleman. There had never been any rumors of him speaking excessively. Now, he was scolding a Half-saint family's Grand Scholar in front of everyone. Moreover, he was the fierce monarch's younger brother.
