I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 412 On the eve of the war

On the way back to Lingxiao Sect from Tianyan City, Chen Ping could see that the Xiuxian City he passed by was on alert.

If the Demon Race's invasion of the human world was just a rumor before, the only ones who actually encountered it were a few monks, and the battles that took place were generally local battles.

In recent years, with the fall of some territories, the monks have obviously realized that the dangers of the Demon Race are more than just talk.

But it really happened around me.

Chen Ping flew cautiously all the way. After arriving at Qingyun Domain, he did not go back to Lingxiao Sect directly, but first went to the Demon Slaying Site.

Like last time, he did not go down into the cave, but instead released his spiritual consciousness and went underground to check the situation.

After reaching the target cave with his spiritual consciousness, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

The dark lotus pattern is still there!

Xiyue didn't repair the crack?

Whether this crack leads to Demon World or to Mo Yang's boundary wall, it should not be what Xiyue wants to see. Logically speaking, Xiyue should repair it as soon as possible. Why is there no movement?

Is it too difficult to repair cracks?

Or is there something wrong with Xiyue?

Chen Ping shook his head, wondering what happened. But he didn't go down for the sake of caution. After all, if even Xiyue was helpless, it was impossible for him to solve it in the mid-term with Gold Core.

He turned around and turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the forest.

Soon we returned to Xiaozhu Peak.

As soon as he walked into the familiar mansion, he was met with a surprised look from the maid Lan Hua: "When did the master of the house leave seclusion? This slave has been in the yard and didn't notice that the master of the house had gone out."

Chen Ping: "Didn't Madam tell you when I went out three years ago?"

Maid Lanhua's eyes widened, and her two braids were raised higher:

"What are the masters talking about? My wife just told me this morning that my master is still practicing in the quiet room. During this period, my wife did not allow anyone to come near the quiet room, saying that she was worried about affecting the master's retreat."

Chen Ping hesitated.

What's the meaning?

He looked in the direction of the quiet room.

"Where's Madam?"

"I'm out, probably to Independent Cultivator City."

"Go get her back."

Although Lan Hua was confused, she still followed the order and walked out quickly.

Chen Ping looked back at the inner palace again, stepped into the palace, and slightly released his consciousness to enter the quiet room.

But he was startled.

A new formation was actually arranged here.

A formation that isolates spiritual consciousness.

This prevented him from detecting the situation in the quiet room that was originally his own.

Yun Haitang was injured? Or what happened?

His heart tightened, and before he could make the next move, he felt the array in front of him tremble slightly, and then a familiar voice came out:

"It's me!"

Xiyue?

This voice is very familiar to Chen Ping.

Why is Xiyue here?

Chen Ping quickly entered the quiet room and saw Xiyue sitting cross-legged in the center of the quiet room.

Under the dim light, she was wearing a gorgeous dress, glowing with aura. On Guazi's face, her red lips were tightly pursed, and there was a slender willow-leaf eyebrow on her big, faint eyes. Everything looked just right.

"Master? Why is Master here?"

Chen Ping was puzzled.

Xiyue’s voice was unusually calm:

"I'm injured. Come here and talk about your injury for a while."

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about someone else's injury. Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat, why was he injured again?

This master is so true.

Either injured or on the way to injury.

But Chen Ping had no intention of complaining about her at the moment. Combined with the fact that Xiyue went to the Moyang boundary wall, he realized that Xiyue's experience might be unusual.

After ensuring that the formation had been restarted, Chen Ping walked over:

"Why is Master injured again? Didn't Master go to repair the dark pattern? What happened?"

turn out to be.

Xiyue two and a half years ago, when Chen Ping went to the Heart Demon Tower, she got up and went to Luanluo City, the demon capital, and invited Demon Queen Silver Moon True Monarch to go to the Demon Slaying Site in Qingyun Domain.

According to the map given by Chen Ping, I successfully found the Lotus Dark Pattern, and also successfully entered the Moyang Boundary Wall through the dark pattern.

However, during further exploration, it was discovered that the spatial crack was quite long, and its end could actually enter another boundary wall.

Xiyue and Silver Moon Demon Queen successfully entered that unfamiliar boundary wall.

"What do you think the result will be?" Xiyue's face didn't look very good.

"How?" Chen Ping acted as a compliment.

"It turns out that there are a large number of Demon Races stored in that boundary wall. That boundary wall is the transfer station for Demon Race to enter the human world from the Demon World, and the exit to the human world is actually in the wild forest." Xiyue said solemnly.

Chen Ping took a breath.

"So, those passages you imprisoned are useless. Demon Race has found a new way to enter the human world?" Chen Ping's scalp was numb.

No wonder there are more and more Demon Races in the human world.

"It's hard to say. I guess that the new boundary wall was not created out of thin air. It was the remnants of the explosion caused when I was destroyed by the statue. It was only recently found and used by Demon Race. In the final analysis, it is still related to these passages. Relevant." Xiyue shook her head.

After Xiyue and Silver Moon Demon Queen sneaked into that boundary wall, they wanted to find out more information, but they were discovered by Demon Race.

The two became separated while fleeing.

Xiyue returned to the Qingyun Territory through the dark pattern, but the Silver Moon Demon Queen has been missing, and is probably still trapped in the boundary wall.

This was several months ago.

Xiyue was seriously injured in the boundary wall and her identity was exposed. Therefore, she was worried that Demon Race was waiting for her near Tianyan Sect, so she did not return to Tianyan Sect immediately after returning to Qingyun Domain.

Instead, he sneaked into Xiaozhu Peak.

In the entire Lingxiao Sect, Yun Haitang was the only one who knew that Xiyue was healing here.

Fortunately, Demon Race has never appeared around Qingyun Domain.

"So, Demon Race didn't find that dark pattern?" Chen Ping asked.

"Yeah." Xiyue nodded:

"Probably not. If they really discovered this crack, then the statue in the Moyang boundary wall would have been poisoned by them long ago."

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

So at least Qingyun Domain is not the most chaotic area, otherwise I would really have to consider running away.

Nowadays, everything is turbulent, so not running around is the best result.

"By the way, is the Silver Moon Demon Queen still in the boundary wall?" Chen Ping asked.

Back then, he had received favor from the Silver Moon Demon Queen, and he had quite a good sense for this four-armed woman.

"I wonder if there are any demons who have returned? I will inquire about her situation as soon as possible after I go out. However, according to my guess, she is not an imprisoned donor. I am afraid that she will not be able to get out of the boundary wall so easily. It is very likely that she will still stay in the boundary wall. ." Xiyue felt a little ashamed.

Silver Moon was invited by her.

But they didn't come back together.

Maybe there is a chance of death.

"I once met Silver Moon True Monarch. In my opinion, she is not that reckless person. If she wants to hide, Demon Race may not be able to find her easily." Chen Ping comforted.

Seeing that Xiyue remained silent, Chen Ping asked again:

"Actually, there is one thing that I don't understand very well. Since the Silver Moon Demon Queen is not a prisoner and donor, why didn't the master go find his companions who are also prisoner donors this time, but instead invited the Silver Moon True Monarch?"

When Xiyue heard the words, she exhaled like a orchid.

After a while he said:

"Do you still remember what Chi Liang said when you met Chi Liang in the wild forest?"

"Which sentence?" Chen Ping didn't react for a moment.

"——The demon king is dead."

The demon king is dead?

Chen Ping remembered.

The original words were - the demon king is dead, now it's your turn Xiyue!

"Yes, the demon king, the owner of Luanluo City, is one of the supporters of the passage confinement just like me. However, the demon king has actually been missing for many years. The demon capital has announced that the demon king has been in seclusion, and even the princes have Don’t know the truth.”

"The donors are more willing to believe that the Demon King is dead, especially after Chi Liang said that, but the Demon Queen always feels that the Demon King is still alive."

"She has some friendship with me. After she heard about the situation of Moyang Boundary Wall from somewhere, she has been begging me to take her in and take a look, vowing to find out the mystery of the disappearance of the Demon King. So I took her there this time. ."

Xiyue paused, looked at Chen Ping with her big eyes, and said:

"Of course, this is just one of them."

"What's more important is that I trust her more than I trust my fellow donors."

Um?

Chen Ping frowned.

I smelled a conspiracy.

"Master, what do you mean?" Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask.

"Because I have discovered many different things since I met you." Xiyue looked at Chen Ping with her big eyes.

Chen Ping stagnated.

This look, this tone, these words.

Chen Ping understands.

Master, are you going to express your deep feelings?

The opening lines of confessions in Mary Sue dramas are similar to this.

He took a deep breath and sighed:

"Master, at this moment when the human world is facing a great catastrophe, we should focus on the overall situation and must not be obsessed with personal emotions. After the great catastrophe, I will discuss it separately."

"What?" Xiyue said loudly, her tone becoming a little higher:

"I am saying that since I met you, I have learned more truths."

"Do you want to die?"

ah?

Ha ha ha ha.

Chen Ping laughed, hiding his red face:

"Hahaha, don't talk about this, don't talk about this. Then what, what did Master just talk about?"

The slight blush on Xiyue's face disappeared in an instant, and she said without looking at Chen Ping:

"The identity of the imprisoned donor is inherited from my master, so I have never asked anything in the past, and I have never delved into anything. I just focused on doing my own thing."

"But my experience with you on the Canglan Grassland, especially the appearance of the broken arm in Monster Race, made me realize that maybe there is a secret in this confinement."

"Although I still don't understand the mystery of this, when it comes to fighting side by side, I prefer to trust trustworthy people rather than a common identity."

Chen Ping understood what Xiyue meant.

And in Xiyue's words just now, he always felt that Xiyue seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

Maybe she discovered something during her investigation.

Or perhaps more new doubts have arisen.

But she chose not to speak directly, and it was inconvenient for Chen Ping to continue asking.

"How is Master's recovery from his injury?" Chen Ping's eyes fell on her.

Xiyue came back to her senses and nodded slightly:

"about there."

She got up and walked to the window, her expression becoming serious:

"Now that the injury has almost recovered, I will leave another day. However, once I return to Tianyan Sect, there will definitely be someone who will spread the news to Demon Race's ears, which means Demon Race will know that I have left the world. Escaped from the wall. It also means that the boundary wall will no longer be a secret."

"At that time, Demon Race will probably be prepared to disperse in advance. Therefore, I must fight quickly so that Demon Race has no time to react."

Xiyue turned back to look at Chen Ping, Xiao Su said:

"So, you must be prepared. Once I leave the Lingxiao Sect, the battle to slay the demons will start within a few days. Whether you choose to stay or go to the boundary wall to slay the demons, it will not be easy."

Chen Ping complained secretly.

I just came back from Tianyan Sect, I just learned how to refine weapons, I just entered the middle stage of Gold Core, and I haven't even refined my own Law Treasure yet. I didn't expect that a small war between humans and demons was coming early.

From Xiyue's tone, we can tell that such a war may come in a few days at the earliest or less than a month at the latest.

This happened so fast.

But the general trend is like this, and he can only swim forward along with the waves.

"."

Chen Ping and Xiyue continued chatting for a while.

It was learned that Xiyue's return this time may not give priority to returning to Tianyan Sect, but to go to Zhongdao to discuss slaying demons.

As for the decision?

How to act?

It has to be decided after everyone has discussed it, and Chen Ping has no way of knowing it in advance.

As for the dark pattern in Qingyun Domain, Xiyue has no intention of repairing it immediately.

On the one hand, repairing it is not a simple matter, it cannot be done overnight, and it is not even something she can complete as a provider.

On the other hand, it is to avoid alerting the enemy.

There is some movement in repairing the cracks, but once Demon Race notices it, it will be counterproductive.

Anyway, Demon Race hasn't found it yet, so we might as well wait until the demon-slaying war is over before making a decision.

"It has been several months since Master escaped from the boundary wall. Those Demon Races may think that you are still trapped in the boundary wall, or they may guess that you have escaped."

"If I were Demon Race, I would be fully prepared during this period, so Master, no matter what plan you make, you must be careful." Chen Ping reminded, paused and said:

"So far in my practice, I have only one master."

Xiyue's breath shortened.

Seeing Chen Ping looking at him, he looked away and nodded slightly:

"Know."

"But that is one of the channels from the Demon World to the human world, and it has to be broken. Even if they are ready, I will go there."

Chen Ping said nothing more.

Xiyue is a person who has the overall situation in mind.

This is different from him.

Making such a choice is almost inevitable for her, and she may even be at the forefront on the day of the battle.

Chen Ping's cultivation level is much lower than hers, so he can't help much.

After thinking for a while he said:

"There is one more thing I want to tell my master. Gong Zhiyuan of the Nakajima Xuanyuan Sect has entered the southwest of Xihuang twice in the past few decades to expand its territory. Even after this defeat, there are still some people left active in the Xunlong Sect."

"The first time, the disciple thought it was just the wild outburst of Xuanyuan Sect. But the second time Gong Zhiyuan came, I always felt that it was abnormal. This area is barren and remote, and it is not something that a large sect would be obsessed with."

“Unless there’s something unique that’s attracting them.”

After Xiyue listened to what Chen Ping said, her slender eyebrows knitted together and she fell into deep thought. Then she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Ping:

"Do you suspect that they are also looking for that dark pattern?"

Xiyue is a smart person.

I immediately guessed what Chen Ping was thinking.

Chen Ping nodded:

"After all, the only thing of any value in Qingyun Domain is the dark pattern."

"But this is just my guess. I hope my guess is wrong."

Xiyue's little hands clenched unconsciously, and her eyes became darker.

She knew the further meaning of these words. If Xuanyuan Sect was also looking for the Dark Mark, then it was very likely that the person behind Gong Zhiyuan had defected to Demon Race. Demon Race seems to have noticed the smell of such cracks, but he hasn't found where yet.

At least there is such a possibility.

"I know." She nodded.
