Eternal Tranquility

Night shrouded the earth, and a waning moon hung on the branches. Groups of wolves and beasts sprang out from the dense forest, facing a large river. Several black shadows shot out from the river, and in the blink of an eye they were fighting fiercely with the wolves and beasts.

After a while, there were several more corpses by the river, and the black shadow revealed its true form. It turned out to be a monster with arms and legs, a human head and a fish body.

Several demons passed by in the distance. After hearing the sound, they glanced here, then turned their heads without interest and continued on their way.

Fights like this can be seen everywhere in the Demon Realm. Sometimes the two sides don't even conflict, but just happen to collide, and they can be killed immediately.

The familiar demons quickly moved away, and after crossing two mountains, they found another dense forest. A few people walked around in the forest a few times and stopped in front of a mountain wall.

Soon, a small door opened on the mountain wall, and two powerful wild demons blocked the door, one on the left and one on the right. There was an eyeball bigger than a human head floating above their heads, and their terrifying gaze was on several demons. Shooting back and forth.

The powerful barbarian demon stretched out his big hand. After receiving the magic crystal that entered the city, his hand was still open. It was not until the demon handed him another storage bag that he slowly moved his steps and made way for a gap that was barely large enough for people to pass through.

Several demons had no choice but to squeeze in sideways, passed through a winding downward passage, and finally entered the Dark City.

Most demons like dark and cold places, so they also like to build cities underground. However, demon cities with almost no light like Gloom City are extremely rare.

However, demons are born with the ability to see in the dark, so the city is still bustling with people walking around on the streets. From time to time, someone will start to fight on the spot if someone disagrees with them.

In the entire street, there was only one light in front of the main hall, and the dim green light flickered, illuminating a group of monsters even more hideously.

"We won't be late, will we?" Several monsters who had just entered the city squeezed in and looked forward anxiously.

"It must not be full, otherwise these guys wouldn't be around here." Another said: "Strange, why do so many people want to go to the battlefield and die?"

He asked a pale white-haired demon next to him: "Brother, do you have any news? Which realm are you recruiting people to cultivate this time?"

The white-haired demon stood aside with his hands in his sleeves and did not push forward. He looked like he was watching the fun. When he heard this, he said with a surprised look on his face: "The human world? Didn't you say that you are sending reinforcements to the abyss?"

"The only way to really die is to go to the abyss. Who wants to go there?" The monster said hurriedly, and then came over with a mysterious face: "If you want to go, you have to go to the human world, otherwise there would be so many guys coming. Humans. The world is so easy to grab and so rich, it’s worth a visit!”

The white-haired demon's eyes flashed: "So this recruitment is to prepare to attack the human world again. Which world is it?"

"I don't know about this. I won't talk to you anymore!" After the demon said that, he ran away to find his companions who had already squeezed to the front.

The white-haired demon stood there for a while, chatting with the demons around him from time to time, and then walked around the city before turning around and walking out.

After leaving the city, he flew over the endless wilderness, and when he arrived outside a valley, his figure suddenly disappeared.

"You're back?" Master Yuanming was sitting on a futon, twisting beads and chanting sutras. When he heard the movement, he raised his head and asked with concern: "You've been out for a long time this time. Did you have a smooth journey?"

The white-haired demon Liu Qinghuan walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Fortunately, I went to a few larger demon cities and found out some interesting information."

"What's the news?" Yuan Ming looked curious. With his immature boyish face, it was completely impossible to tell that he was actually a virtuous and eminent monk.

"Those magic cities have been recruiting troops aggressively recently." Liu Qinghuan said: "Jin Buxiangtian may have an idea with us, and they are preparing to open a new battlefield, and the target is probably Qing Mingtian."

"Qing Ming!" Yuan Ming instantly became serious: "Is this news highly credible?"

"About 70% to 80%." Liu Qinghuan also said solemnly: "But they should have just started planning. Last time they were still in the stage of recruiting troops and generals. By the way, is there any news from them?"

Yuan Ming took out a communication charm from his sleeve and handed it over.

"There is only one letter from fellow Taoist Daoist. He went to Yanhui Valley to explore the terrain and determine the location where a large star formation will be built later. Zixu and fellow Taoist Siye went to Suohen Bridge, but no news has been sent back yet. But we The agreed rendezvous time is coming soon, and they should be back soon."

After speaking and sighing, Yuan Ming said with some regret: "Monks don't tell lies, it's only because I don't know how to disguise, otherwise I can go out with you guys to find out the news."

As a Buddhist cultivator with profound virtues, Yuan Ming seems to carry the Buddha's light within his body, even if his appearance and body shape change, because those gentle, clear, and compassionate eyes are absolutely impossible for demons to have.

"It's okay. We are out here and we need someone to stay behind and collect the information." Liu Qinghuan said: "Then I will go and sort out the information found this time and write a rule. After they come back to discuss it, we will be ready. Sent back to Qing Ming immediately."

Yuan Ming said hello, then sat back on the futon in the corner and knocked on the wooden fish: "I have cleaned the rooms on the right and placed some simple tables. You can use them."

Liu Qinghuan was flattered to ask a generation of eminent monks to help clean the house, and quickly thanked him for his hard work before walking towards the back.

This cave is a secret stronghold of Qing Ming in Jin Buxiangtian. It has been built for an unknown number of years. There are many rooms. There is a teleportation star gate hidden in the deepest part. It is usually abandoned. It was reactivated after their arrival this time. .

Liu Qinghuan chose a room at random, and as soon as he finished writing the cross-border communication talisman, he felt the magic circle outside open again, and voices came in.

When he walked out, he saw Zixu's cold face. The first thing he said when he saw him was: "There is something strange at Suohen Bridge!"

Liu Qinghuan's eyes narrowed: "What happened?"

Zixu said: "Since yesterday, a large number of monsters have been coming to Suohen Bridge from the real demon world, including many high-level demons, and they haven't stopped yet! So I asked Siye to stay there first, and I will tell you when I come back. "One sound."

"The demons move so fast!"

Liu Qinghuan frowned, and when he told the news that the demons were likely to attack Qing Mingtian, Zixu immediately understood.

"I see! That would be troublesome. If Jin Buxiangtian accumulates a large number of troops, it will coincide with our subsequent actions. Not only will the sneak attack plan fail, but there will probably be a fierce battle!"

They were originally planning to lurk in Jinbuxiangtian to find out the situation here first, but the time to actually take action was set to be one month later.

Now it is obvious that we can't wait any longer. Liu Qinghuan pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Then let's strike first and cut off the Suohen Bridge!"
