This winter in the Qing Qiu Mountains was destined to be long and cold. The continuous drizzling was like a continuous mountain peak, causing one's eyes to be filled with a monotonous white color.
In previous years, the snow covering the Middle Melody Altar was definitely thicker than the other eleven Altar Altars. Because the Middle Melody Altar was a small altar and had fewer disciples than the Xuanyuan Altar and the Tai Hua Altar, and also had fewer visitors. Therefore, the thick snow was not cleaned and no one stepped on it, allowing the snow to melt. The only thing that people remembered from this place was the legendary Setting Sun God Sword which was rumored to contain the Vistula and Supreme Profound Veins. It attracted the attention of all the forces of the six realms for a while, and thus attracted the attention of everyone. When the Six Realms found out that the Sunset Divine Sword was a fake sword that Yin Bao had buried in order to hide it from others, the central music area regained its former tranquility. However, this year was different. The Altar Master Yu Chang Xiu's 50th birthday had invited almost all of the popular figures in the Qing Qiu Mountains. Those were the most noisy and noisy days since the music industry was built. Yu Changxiu was a guest at the banquet for three days, and the enthusiasm of the guests seemed to melt the snow on the whole of Zhongzhuang.
In the past few days, the guests had gradually dispersed and the music industry had regained its former tranquility. The jars were in a mess, and the wine had scattered all over the place. Just like after all the grand banquets had ended, the joyous atmosphere had been shattered to pieces, leaving only the smell of alcohol to permeate the air and choke people's breath. For the past few days, the disciples of the Middle Melody Altar had been cleaning the entire altar. After a few days of bustling, the Middle Melody Altar was still the same old and somewhat deserted part of the Altar of Melody.
At this moment, in the inner hall of the main room of the altar, the Altar Master, Yu Changxiu, was standing in front of a pile of gifts. On this birthday, all the parties received 130 gifts. Among them, there was no lack of rare treasures, ancient calligraphy and paintings. Each one was a rare treasure, which was just what Yu Changxiu wanted.
Yu Changxiu was staring at the gift list with infatuation in his eyes. A satisfied smile appeared on his face and his eyes gradually fell on the presents in wing city: Primordial Unparalleled Jade. During that time, he took a glance at that gift. It was no different from ordinary jade, but since it was sent from Wings City, there was definitely something extraordinary about it. If it really was a normal jade, how could he, Murong Yu, take it out?
With doubts in his mind, he rummaged through the pile of gifts with both hands and quickly found the purple sandalwood box. That's right, this should be the gift that the three of them sent over. He carefully wiped off the specks of dust on the box and gently placed it on the table. He stretched his head out and looked outside. After making sure that there was no one outside, he quickly went to the door and closed it. It was as if he was about to open a sacred treasure.
He slowly opened the box, and a square piece of unpolished jade wrapped in a silk cloth entered his eyes. At first glance, he had a feeling that this object was a little like the Twilight Jade that was rumored to be in the Six Realms. He gently picked up the piece of unpolished jade. Under the illumination of the light, the unpolished jade emitted a deep blue light, and the edges of the unpolished jade had become smooth and smooth. When Yu Changxiu carefully observed the unpolished jade, she discovered that although the interior of the unpolished jade was transparent and bright, it was constantly changing according to the strength of the external light rays.
Even though Yu Changxiu was only the central stage master, he still knew about the ancient treasure — the Twilight Jade. This treasure seemed to have vanished into thin air after the elder of the generation, Luo Xu Valley. For hundreds of years, there had never been a single trace of it. It contained the spiritual power of the Sky, Earth, Yellow Scripture, and the God of Nuwa. Obtaining it was equivalent to possessing the ultimate power to rule over all four directions. Therefore, for many years, the Six Realms had been fighting for it. But right now, the whereabouts of the Twilight Jade was still unknown. Perhaps it was lying quietly in an unknown corner, waiting for its master to discover it.
No one could deny that it was possible for anyone to become the owner of the Twilight Jade, so Yu Changxiu had been paying extra attention to all the jade artifacts in recent years. Who knew, perhaps he would be able to find the rumored Twilight Jade.
Yu Di suddenly opened the door with a creak. He turned his head to look and found that Spring had already walked into the painting hall.
He was a bit unhappy and immediately revealed an angry expression, "Why didn't you knock on the door and come in. What do you do if the disciples see it?" After saying that, he quickly put away the purple sandalwood box and placed it on the bookshelf. He tried his best to put on a nonchalant expression.
Are you still afraid of being seen by others? Didn't you say that you didn't care about this a long time ago? "Chun Bai's beautiful face flushed red, and her eyes filled with complex desire," The unpolished jade that you're holding is the one that Murong Dawn and the others gave you, right? Do you think that it looks like the Twilight Jade that they gave you?
Yu Chang Xiu laughed and looked out of the window. He walked over and quickly put down the window, "You're quite smart. You can even guess what I'm thinking. You really are my confidant." As he said this, he walked over and took her hand and pulled her into his embrace.
Tang Chun stiffened his body with a face full of shyness and reluctance. He broke away from Yu ZhangXiu and angrily said, "We are always this unclear. What exactly is it? If the disciples knew, what would I do?"
With such a beautiful woman in front of him, the sense of belonging, guilt, and evil that rose up from the bottom of his heart took over his mind. He only wanted to maintain this simple relationship of indulgence and wasn't willing to take on any responsibility.
The door to the inner hall closed with a "creak". Yu Changxiu hugged the painting hall even tighter. She had long forgotten about the concepts of shame, reverence, inferiority, seniority, and master and disciple. She couldn't wait to once again possess such a young and beautiful body. As for the drawing hall spring, his eyes were filled with an even more primitive flame of hatred. Complicated emotions could be vaguely seen deep within the flames. Her eyes never left the rosewood box on the bookshelf. Would that be her next target?
The Demonic World was abnormally quiet recently. Ever since Yun Jiu Tang went to the Great Sea to hunt beasts, the Demonic World seemed to have sunk into a rare short period of tranquility.
In recent days, especially after returning to the palace to cultivate after the victorious victory of the Beast Descending Soldiers in the Qing Qiu Mountain, his originally strong inner force had improved once again. It was as if it had leapt another level. Especially since he had reached the ninth level of the [Black Magic Palm], and it was at the peak of perfection. In this cold winter, the sword ruler's brow actually felt a fervent hope that he had never experienced before. Everything was progressing in the direction that he had expected. It was as if his great cause of ruling the six realms was being realized step by step in an orderly manner.
At this moment, he was plotting with Zhu Jiuyin about the Six Realms.
"The chess piece in the central music arena has been firmly impaled, and can't be moved yet," the sword ruler's eyes were filled with greed, as if it wanted to swallow all the wastes in the world, "When it is used, it will naturally awaken, and great waves will definitely be set off." After he finished speaking, he looked ahead with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he was unable to contain his excitement at the scene of the destruction of the middle stage.
"That's good. The Devil Ancestor doesn't need to worry about the music industry anymore," Zhu Jiuyin fanned himself as he casually agreed. "The Devil Ancestor, do you want to immediately summon the Cloud Ninety Tang back to Demonic City to discuss the next step?"
The ruler shaped eyebrows immediately waved his hand, and quickly and resolutely said, "Let him stay in the Qing Qiu Mountains. Firstly, it can block his mouth and secondly, it can help him become more familiar with the human world's situation. Besides, it's not convenient to tell him this information right now. I can see that he's not done yet, so he's too merciful. I'll tell him about this later. "
"Jiu Tang is indeed like that. He has fantasies about the other five realms, especially the Mortal Realm. Now, I see that he seems to be very close to Gu Xueluo who just came out of seclusion in the Gut Breaker, do you need to warn him? "
"Sigh, there's no need for that," the sword ruler's eyebrow disapproved, he was always indifferent to relationships between men and women, "Don't worry, Gu Xueluo's thoughts are all on the dead fifth Hidden Spirit, she's still making a fuss about going to the Eastern Wasteland Penglai to gather Undead Spirits. How could such a person accept the feelings of a second man? "
"Oh, the Devil Ancestor has seen through everything. Jiu Yin is overthinking it."
"You've always been mentioning to me that Taoxuan's new Taishang Zhenshu, Li Zongyin," with his sword-like eyebrows, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Jiuyin with a serious expression, his gaze seemed to burn through his skin, "I heard that this person is also stubborn, do you have full confidence this time?"
Zhu Jiuyin waved his hand, "Don't worry, Demon Ancestor. I have been observing this person for quite some time already. He could no longer be called the newly ascended Sage Wu. After all, it had been over a year since he advanced. "He …"
Before Candle Jiu Yin could finish her sentence, the ruler shaped brows broke and said coldly: "Qing Qiu Mountain has a lot of disciples in four cities and twelve pots, why did you pick him? You should know that once you form a partnership with him, you will have to bear a huge risk."
Compared to other people's generous gifts and conditions, he doesn't have anything, so he has the motivation to go up, "Candle Jiu Yin explained slowly," This motivation is already very paranoid. It is this motivation that has allowed him to progress from a nameless outer sect disciple all the way up to now, constantly eager to succeed and fantasizing about power above tens of thousands of people. So, he needs to work with us. "
"Mm, that's good. No one can so easily reject power and glory!"
"Yes, Devil Ancestor. Even the Supreme Mystery is not an exception."
He nodded his head and muttered to himself: "That is the best reason and excuse to cooperate with us. However, since he wants to be at our beck and call, he has to listen to us and be of use to us." If he can't do both of these things at the same time, then make him disappear cleanly. No matter what, he can't become someone else's chess piece. "
A trace of viciousness flashed through Zhu Jiuyin's eyes, "Yes, Jiuyin will go and lobby him. If he fails, then Taixuan will have one more corpse …"
Candle Jiu Yin knew of Li Zongyin's habits and movements, knew that he would have to lead ten thousand outer sect disciples in their training every morning on the martial stage back in the courtyard. After that, he would return to the Blue Firmament Palace to discuss important matters with Yin Bao Scroll and the other few Spiritual Masters; in the afternoon, he would take two or three hours to head to the Heart Washing Stream to cultivate. At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin was hiding in a secret place in the Heart Cleansing Stream, waiting for Li Zongyin's appearance.
This was the place that he came to every day. Over the years, every day, he would spend two or three hours cultivating here, and now, when everyone was taking a nap, he would actually use all of these things to cultivate. From the moment he stepped into Taixuan, he had always paid a lot more than others. He clearly remembered how he had walked step by step to reach the position that was the focus of everyone's attention today:
Other people rested, he cultivated and others played around with him. It was precisely this kind of hard-working talent that was discovered by Yin Bao Scroll that allowed him to surpass many inner disciples with deep qualifications and high skills to become a disciple participating in the Abyss Killing Beast Association.
After being conferred the title of Seven Disciples (Protector of the Capital), he did not stop his footsteps and continued to crazily train his body. Although this desperate attitude caused him to be isolated by the disciples of the altar, he believed that only by reaching the position above ten thousand people would they be able to respect him.
Later on, Daoist Master Su Wu's position was vacant for many years, and no one was able to fill it. The three most hopeful ones were Zhao Yuyi, Lang Gong Yuan, and Yu Duancai: Zhao Yuyi was a woman, so it was difficult for him to carry out this important task; in terms of qualifications and character, Lang Yuyuan was the most hopeful, but he had unfortunately died in the first BOSS fight; Yu Duyi was a simple and honest man, and over the years, he had made no progress other than taking care of people and things. Therefore, he once again seized this opportunity to win the favor and trust of Yin Yang treasure scrolls, and climbed onto the coveted throne of Sage Su.
But now, he was disappointed to realize that this position seemed to already be his limit. It was simply impossible for him to become the first disciple (the Priestess Protector), because the cultivation, abilities, and character of the Ning An stage were all accepted in the Supreme Mystery. In Yin Bao Scroll's heart, no one could surpass the Ning An stage.
What should he do? Could it be that he would spend the rest of his life with this Serene Daoist Master? He was desperate for a higher position and power. At this moment, he looked at the bulky Blue Firmament Sword in his hand and let out a long sigh. He then picked up the flower of the sword and his figure danced as he once again practiced the Green Firmament Sword technique.
"What a peerless Green Pan Sword Art!" Zhu Jiuyin clapped his hands and walked out of the secret room.
Li Zongyin suddenly turned around and looked at the sudden arrival of Zhu Jiuyin in alert, a suspicious and cautious look flashing across his face, "Demon World's Cold Young Master Zhu Jiuyin, why did you appear here? Don't you know that this is the Heart Washing Stream, and that others are not allowed to enter!?" His vigilant eyes were still sizing up Zhu Jiuyin, revealing the majesty and haughtiness unique to Grandmaster Taixuan.
"Daoist Master Su, don't be angry, I have watched you train for more than a year, and you are safe and sound," Zhu Jiuyin gently waved his fan in the air, "The rules are all set by humans, but unfortunately, you are not someone who will make the rules in Taixuan …"
Li Zongyin angrily said, "What do you mean? Could it be that the Young Lord is hiding here just to ridicule Zongyin? If this is boring, I'm afraid it will disappoint you."
Zhu Jiuyin closed his fan, smiled, and said in a clear voice, "Jiuyin has been here watching you practice your sword for over a year. With this kind of sincerity, there is definitely something more important that we need to discuss. We would like to further cooperate with you …"
"Since ancient times, the two realms of man and devil have never existed. What do we have to cooperate for?"
"Oh, don't be in such a hurry to refuse," said Zhu Jiuyin, who seemed to already have a plan in mind, and step by step, he began to direct the topic of the conspiracy, "Since ancient times, we have to use chips to negotiate, and we have the chips that you want the most in our hands."
Li Zongyin was shocked. How did he know what I needed? It seemed that he came prepared, "Young Master Zhu is very confident in himself, how do you know what I need? Besides, can you give me what I need?"
"Of course!" Candle Jiu Yin's words were resolute and decisive, firm and forceful, as if there was an irresistible temptation, "Sage Li, our demon realm can satisfy all of your demands!" Every sentence was powerful, like the allure of a ghost, piercing right into Li Zongyin's heart.
"So, Taoist Li, can we talk about cooperation now?" The strange sound rang out again, like a poison that made one unable to stop, leading one step by step to the abyss of destruction.
