"Reporting to the king, someone has intruded into our territory and is heading this way."
The monk reported respectfully, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"Oh? Who are they?"
The Du Si Demon King frowned, then revealed a hint of a sneer.
"Could it be that those people from the Demon Country on Earth are the traitors again?"
"I dare not make a rash judgment, but they are riding on an extremely huge spiritual ship that covers the sky and earth. Their aura is terrifying. They should not be ordinary cultivators."
After pondering for a moment, the Demon King Du Si waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat, and then stood up.
Judging from the other person's situation, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.
Whoever dares to visit at this time must have some ulterior motive.
However, he is not afraid of any challenge.
It was just like snatching food from other people’s mouths before. There were hesitations and confusions.
But there was never any fear.
This is still the case.
Although the people of the demon country on earth are annoying, they have many good things that are not available in the otherworldly Demon Abyss.
Perhaps this is a good opportunity to promote cooperation between the two sides.
"Pass the order and prepare yourself. If the other party has no ill intentions, you should treat them with courtesy. If they have ill intentions, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The voice of the Demon King Du Si echoed in the palace, filled with unquestionable majesty.
at the same time.
On the Tongtian Ling ship, Ye Yang and others also felt that the atmosphere ahead seemed to become solemn.
However, the result was somewhat beyond his expectations.
As the Tongtian Spiritual Ship approaches.
There stood a group of monks in front, including humans, demons and monsters.
At this moment, they were all standing on the top of the mountain. Leading them was a two-headed rhinoceros monster, leaning on a thick golden pillar, looking at the slowly approaching Tongtian Spirit Ship.
"This is the territory of the Solitary Si Demon King. I wonder who you are from?"
Ye Yang walked onto the deck of the Tongtian Spiritual Ship and did not reveal his identity immediately, but responded to the outside world.
"We have come to visit the Du Si Demon King. Please inform him."
When the rhinoceros demon heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and then he nodded.
"I see. Everyone, please be patient and wait for me to report it."
After saying that, it turned around and turned into a stream of light, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Only the monks were left there, waiting quietly.
About half an hour later, the rhinoceros monster appeared in front of everyone again.
This time, behind it was a man in a golden robe with a dignified face, who was none other than the Demon King Du Si.
"You have come from afar, and I am truly sorry for the disrespect. Please follow me into the palace to discuss in detail."
Although the Demon King Du Si looks rough, his voice is gentle and powerful, giving people an inexplicable sense of trust.
Inside the huge palace, a group of people were sitting opposite each other.
The Du Si Demon King looked at Ye Yang and the others and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Not to mention the huge spirit ship outside that looks difficult to deal with and blocks out the sky and the sun, just the ones in front of them are not easy to deal with.
The demon dog with one head broken off should be the three-headed demon dog that Qingjiangkou of the Other Dimension Demon Abyss is famous for.
This demon is extremely vicious and has the blood of the ancient Sun-Swallowing Demon Lord. He was once a powerful figure.
But now I don’t know what happened to him, he lost his head, but there is still a ferocious light in his eyes.
Even if there are only two songs left, their strength is extraordinary.
The bad reputation of the past still exists and people dare not underestimate it.
Except for this monster.
There was also a shifty, timid man next to him, and upon a quick glance, he turned out to be a cultivator at the level of a real person.
No matter how bad the appearance is.
But as long as he breaks through to the realm of true person, it is enough to show that this person is extraordinary.
What made him feel most heavy in his heart was the man with a strong aura in front of him.
Although there was no contact with the other party at this moment, just having him standing in front of him was enough to make people unbearable.
Moreover, in addition to this powerful momentum, there is also a sharp feeling inside that is completely unexpected.
"This person not only has a high level of cultivation, but also possesses unique skills."
Soon, the Demon King Du Si made a judgment in his mind.
"My fellow Taoists, I wonder if you have anything to ask me since you have come to my place."
Ye Yang spoke.
"I have seen the Dusi Demon King. Many years ago, there was a short, one-armed monk who passed by Dusi Mountain."
After finishing speaking, Ye Yang described Gu Xuan's appearance in detail.
The Du Si Demon King was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered, as if he was recalling something.
"You said that among the cultivators who came from the Demon Country on Earth a hundred years ago, there was indeed a person who looked like this, and he also had the hand of an eight-armed evil dragon grafted on him. He was quite powerful, but he didn't stay for long, and that group of people left."
When Ye Yang heard this, his heart moved, and then he asked again.
"Does the demon king know why they left?"
The Du Si Demon King shook his head.
"I don't know the specific reason, but at that time their target was the Earth Dragon Snake, which was conceived by the placenta in the center of the earth. I was born with the essence of thick earth and can sense all things. They wanted to invite me to join them."
"However, the Earth Dragon Snake is very important, and I did not agree at the time."
Ye Yang nodded in thought, as if he had realized something.
"Thank you, Demon King, for telling me. In that case, we will take our leave now."
Unexpectedly, the demon king had no ill will towards them, but instead felt a sense of mutual sympathy.
"Everyone, you have come here with great difficulty. If you don't mind, you may stay in my Qingsi Mountain for a few days, so that I can show my hospitality as a host."
Ye Yang was slightly stunned, then he thought that this might be a good opportunity to learn more about Gu Xuan's whereabouts, so he nodded.
"Since you have invited me so kindly, we will respectfully obey your invitation and stay here for a few days."
When the Demon King saw Ye Yang agreed, the smile on his face became even more intense. He waved his hand and signaled the demon soldiers around him to prepare the banquet.
"Everyone, please follow me. I have prepared some wine. Please forgive me if there is any inconvenience."
Several people followed the Solitary Rhinoceros Demon King through the winding mountain road and came to a quiet valley.
Ye Yang looked up and saw pavilions and towers scattered throughout the valley, dotted with exotic flowers and plants, with gurgling water flowing out from between the rocks, creating a pleasant scene.
I didn't expect that in this bloody and gloomy alien demon abyss, there would be such a good place.
Under a spacious pavilion, a sumptuous banquet had already been set out, with a wide variety of delicacies and a fragrant aroma.
"Brother Dao, please!"
The Demon King Du Si made a gesture of invitation and sat down first.
"This is where I usually practice. It is a great honor to be able to gather with you fellow Taoists today."
After Ye Yang and the others took their seats, the demon king raised a huge ox-horn cup and said, "Come, let's drink this cup first. It's a welcome to everyone."
After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp, full of heroic spirit.
Seeing that the Du Si Demon King was interested in contacting them, Ye Yang did not refuse. He took another look at the wine in front of him and felt that it was unusual.
It has a lasting fragrance and looks thick and blood red, so it must be a specialty of the Alien Demon Abyss.
Ye Yang took a sip and felt a fragrant taste in his mouth. There was also a special power transmitted into his body, which stimulated his blood and energy and actually removed impurities. It was quite extraordinary.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the blood wine from Qingsi Mountain. It is simple to make, but the process is complicated. Only one pot can be made out of a hundred pots. You must taste it carefully today."
As the cups were clinked, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Ye Yang took the opportunity to ask about Gu Xuan's news.
Then the Du Si Demon King pointed him in a direction.
"The ancient country of Qingqiu."
This was not the first time Ye Yang had heard of this name.
He also knew that many years ago, the Grand Elder of Feitian Sect, Mo Niansheng, had a close connection with this force.
The ancient country of Qingqiu is a large clan in the alien demon abyss, and it is extraordinary.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know the specific situation of the ancient country of Qingqiu?"
Ye Yang asked.
The Du Si Demon King nodded.
"Senior, you may not know that the ancient country of Qingqiu is located deep in the alien demon abyss. The spiritual energy there is rich and the environment is unique. The country's ruler, the White Fox Law Lord, is extremely powerful and has a very high level of cultivation. No one can defeat him."
"I am a good friend of the Tushan Fox from the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom. If you want to go to the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom, I can write a letter for you."
After saying this, he immediately called over the little demon from the banquet and gave him instructions.
"Go and get me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
The little demon took the order and left, and soon brought back a blank jade slip. The Demon King Du Si took the pen and ink, quickly spread out the jade slip, picked up the pen and wrote, finishing it in one go.
After he finished writing, he folded the jade slip, sealed it with wax, and handed it to Ye Yang. "This is my letter to Tushan. Take it with you to the ancient country of Qingqiu. When you see him, give the letter to him. He will naturally understand everything."
Ye Yang took the letter and thanked the Demon King Du Si for his help.
With this letter of recommendation, Ye Yang and others have gained an entry status and invitation.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. With this letter, I believe our journey to the ancient country of Qingqiu will be much smoother."
At this time, the Demon King Du Si finally put forward his ideas to Ye Yang.
It turned out that the purpose of all the flattery and communication was to conduct business with Ye Yang and others.
This is a matter of great benefit if it is coordinated.
However, Ye Yang and others came this time to rescue Gu Xuan, and did not pay much attention to the business dealings.
After hearing this, Ye Yang smiled and said.
"Fellow Daoist, business cooperation is beneficial to both parties, so we naturally fully agree with it. However, our primary mission this time is to rescue the seniors of the sect."
"How about we discuss this in detail after we return?"
After hearing this, the Demon King Du Si finally showed a smile on his face.
"It's natural. It's natural."
The road was long, and on the huge spiritual ship, we left Qingsi Mountain.
Driving all the way to the ancient country of Qingqiu, we saw huge trees everywhere along the way, which was very different from the bare surface before.
At this time, the three-headed demon dog next to it spoke.
"Master, the ancient country of Qingqiu is not easy to provoke. Why don't I take the invitation and go to Tushan Fox to see what's going on.'
Ye Yang took a look at it. This three-headed demon dog, as a native demon beast of the Alien Demon Abyss, was naturally extraordinary.
However, when they first met, he was worried that the other party would take this opportunity to escape.
The demon dog felt a little frightened by Ye Yang's gaze.
"Don't worry, sir. I really have no second thoughts."
Ye Yang was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons.
The strength of the three-headed demon dog should not be underestimated, and it is also familiar with the situation in the Alien Demon Abyss.
If you put your heart and soul into it, this trip to the ancient country of Qingqiu will be of great help.
Ye Yang nodded and said.
"Then go check out the situation first. Take this jade slip with you and keep in touch at any time. If you find anything wrong, come back and report immediately."
Hearing this, the three-headed demon dog's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly nodded and agreed: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Ye Yang took out the jade slip of the Du Si Demon King from his arms, handed it to the three-headed demon dog, and gave it instructions.
"Proceed with caution."
The three-headed demon dog took the jade slip, put it away carefully, then turned around and jumped off the spirit ship, running towards the ancient country of Qingqiu.
After watching it leave, Ye Yang placed the Scaled Demon Elephant on the Tongtian Spirit Ship just in case.
He also changed his body shape and followed the three-headed demon dog.
The ancient country of Qingqiu has rolling hills, is shrouded in clouds and mist, and is like spring all year round.
In the core area there is a majestic palace, standing high above the snow-capped mountains.
This place is both a symbol of power and the center of the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom.
After Ye Yang changed his form, he transformed into an ordinary traveler and quietly followed the three-headed demon dog.
He was well aware of the mystery of the ancient country of Qingqiu, so he was extremely cautious in every step.
With the cover of night, try to avoid all possible patrols and surveillance, and use the terrain and cover of night to move forward carefully.
Ye Yang knew that in the ancient country of Qingqiu, there were not only many cultivators, but also they had keen perceptions, and any slight movement could attract their attention.
When approaching the outskirts of the palace, Ye Yang found that the place was heavily guarded, with patrolling fox monks passing by from time to time.
He chose a relatively secluded location to hide and waited patiently for the opportunity.
In the ancient country of Qingqiu, in a magnificent palace.
A short and fat monk with a fox head frowned uncomfortably at this moment.
I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy today.
He is the king among foxes. Normally, he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He has long been accustomed to being treated like a star. However, today he feels unprecedented irritability and anxiety.
This emotion was so rare for him that he couldn't tell where this inexplicable crisis came from.
He paced back and forth in the room, the lights flickering, seeming to reflect the owner's inner fluctuations.
Suddenly, the man in white clothes and with a fox head stopped, frowned, and thought secretly in his heart.
He is always calm, and even the slightest change can make him alert.
He tried to sense everything around him, trying to catch even the slightest bit of something unusual.
However, apart from the flickering light and the occasional rustling of the wind, there was nothing unusual.
At this moment, he suddenly seemed to sense something, turned around, and fixed his gaze on a dark corner.
"who!"
He shouted sharply, his voice echoing in the silent night sky, but received no response.
There was an oppressive silence in the air, as if the whole world was holding its breath at this moment.
The fox-headed man in white slowly approached the corner. The long sword in his hand had been quietly unsheathed, flashing with cold light, ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.
Just as he was about to find out what was going on, a slight sound of footsteps came from a distance, getting closer and closer, but then suddenly stopped.
His whole body was tense and he could almost hear his own heartbeat. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and listened carefully again.
This time, he was sure that he heard a faint breath, a strange breath that did not belong to the night wind.
"Friend, since you are here, why don't you show up and see me?"
The fox-headed man in white said in a deep voice.
At this time, he already had a plan in mind.
No matter who the other party is, since he can get so close quietly, he must be no ordinary person.
But suddenly, it seemed as if time stopped and there was still no movement.
He was keenly aware that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him closely. He flashed and rushed towards the shadow like a ghost.
However, it was too late. The figure hidden in the darkness did not show up. It just stretched out a pair of huge hands, grabbed forward, and held him in its hands.
An unrivaled force enveloped him, and the pair of huge hands that stretched out from the darkness seemed to be able to control everything, leaving him with no escape.
In a flash, he instinctively swung his sword at the hands, but wherever the sword touched, there was no reaction at all.
Then, an invisible force restrained his body, making him unable to move.
"interesting."
A deep and hoarse voice came from the darkness, with a hint of teasing.
As the voice fell, the pair of huge hands that held up the sky gradually closed, and the man in white clothes and the fox head only felt a darkness before his eyes.
The whole person was enveloped by a gentle but irresistible force, and then he lost his balance and fell into an unfamiliar space.
When he regained his footing, he found himself in a void, surrounded by a faint mist, as if he was in another world.
The owner of the big hands was standing in front of him at this moment. He was tall, and his face was hidden in the shadows, so it was a little difficult to see clearly. Only his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"
The fox-headed man in white suppressed his shock and maintained a calm tone.
He knew very well that in this situation, any rash action could have fatal consequences.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
The man spoke slowly.
"Importantly, I want to ask you a few questions."
The fox-headed man in white suppressed his shock and maintained a calm tone.
He knew very well that in this situation, any rash action could have fatal consequences.
"First, what is the strength of the White Fox Master?"
"Second, have you ever captured a short monk named Gu Xuan?"
Faced with the sudden question, the fox-headed man in white did not dare to be negligent. He answered carefully while thinking.
"The White Fox Master is the leader of my Qingqiu Ancient Country. His strength is unfathomable, far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. As for the cultivator named Gu Xuan, I don't know him."
"Ok?"
The man looked at him coldly. He seemed to sense the man's displeasure. He felt a chill in his heart and quickly changed his tone.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I am in charge of the household registration of cultivators in the ancient country of Qingqiu. As long as you give me some time, I will definitely be able to check it out and give you a definite answer."
The man was silent for a moment, as if thinking about what the fox-headed man in white had said. Finally, he said
"That's good to know. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have arrested you."
"In addition, you must be able to provide some information about the White Fox Master, especially his cultivation level, commonly used spells, and battle records. The more detailed the better."
The fox-headed man in white nodded in agreement, secretly thinking about how to deal with this emergency.
He knew that there must be some purpose behind this person.
If you are not careful, you may bring unnecessary trouble to yourself. (End of this chapter)
