I will survive with proficiency

On the way Chen Ping returned to Lingxiaozong from Tianyan City, it could be seen that the passing Xiuxian City was on alert.

If it was just rumors about the demons invading the human world before, the ones who actually encountered it were a few monks after all, and the battles that took place were generally local battles.

With the fall of some territories in the past few years, the monks obviously realized that the harm of the demons is more than just talk.

Instead, it really happened around me.

Chen Ping flew cautiously all the way, and after arriving at Qingyun Domain, he didn't go directly back to Lingxiaozong, but went to the demon extermination site first.

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

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

The lotus dark pattern is still there!

Xiyue didn't fix the crack?

Regardless of whether this crack leads to the Demon Realm or the Moyang Boundary Wall, it should not be what Xiyue wants to see. It stands to reason that 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, not knowing what happened. But for the sake of caution, he didn't go down. After all, if even Xiyue couldn't do anything about it, he couldn't solve it in the mid-term of Jindan.

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

Soon returned to Xiaozhufeng.

As soon as he walked into the familiar mansion, he received the surprised gaze of the servant girl Lanhua: "When did the master leave the customs? The servant has been in the yard and didn't notice that the master has gone out."

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

The maid Lan Hua's eyes were wide open, and her two braids were raised a little higher:

"What is the Patriarch talking about? Madam just told the slave this morning that the Patriarch is still practicing in the quiet room. During this period of time, Madam did not allow anyone to approach the quiet room, saying that she was worried about affecting the Patriarch's meditation."

Chen Ping froze.

What's the meaning?

He looked in the direction of the quiet room.

"Where's the lady?"

"I'm out, I should go to Sanxiu City."

"Go and call her back."

Although Lan Hua was very puzzled, she followed the order and walked out quickly.

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

But he was taken aback.

There is actually a new formation here.

A formation that isolates consciousness.

This made it impossible for him to detect the situation in the quiet room that originally belonged to him.

Yun Haitang was injured? or what?

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

"It's my seat!"

Xiyue?

Chen Ping was too familiar with this voice.

Why is Xiyue here?

Chen Ping quickly entered the quiet room, and sure enough, he saw Xiyue sitting cross-legged in the middle of the quiet room.

Under the twilight, she was wearing a gorgeous dress with bursts of aura. On Guazi's face, the red lips were tightly pursed, and there was a slender willow-leaf eyebrow on the big faint eyes, everything seemed just right.

"Master? Why is Master here?"

Chen Ping was puzzled.

Xiyue's voice was unusually calm:

"I'm hurt, come here to talk about the injury."

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

This master is really.

Either injured, or on the way to be injured.

But Chen Ping was not in the mood to complain about her at all 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 making sure that the formation has 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.

Two and a half years ago, when Chen Ping was going to the Heart Demon Tower, she got up and went to Luanluo City, the capital of demons, and invited the demon empress, Zhenjun Yinyue, to the demon extermination site in Qingyunyu.

According to the map given by Chen Ping, he successfully found the dark pattern of the lotus, and also successfully entered the Moyang boundary wall through the dark pattern.

But in the process of further investigation, it was found that the length of the spatial crack was not small, and its tip could actually enter another boundary wall.

Xiyue and the Demon Queen Yinyue successfully entered that strange boundary wall.

"What do you think of the result?" Xiyue's face was not very good-looking.

"How?" Chen Ping acted as a fan.

"It turns out that there are a lot of demons accumulated in that boundary wall. That boundary wall is the transfer point for demons to enter the human world from the demon world, and the exit to the human world is actually in the wild forest." Xiyue said in a deep voice.

Chen Ping took a deep breath.

"So, the passages you imprisoned are useless at all. The demons have found a new way to enter the human world?" Chen Ping's scalp was numb.

No wonder there are more and more demons 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 aftermath of the explosion caused by Jiu Xiuyuan's destruction of the statue. It was only recently found and used by the demons. In the final analysis, it has nothing to do with these passages. Related." Xiyue shook her head.

After Xiyue and the Yinyue demon queen sneaked into that boundary wall, they wanted to find out more information, but they were discovered by the demons.

The two got separated during the absconding process.

Xiyue returned to the Qingyun domain through the dark pattern, but the silver moon demon queen has never been seen, and she is probably still trapped in the boundary wall.

This was a few months ago.

Xiyue was seriously injured in the boundary wall and her identity was exposed, so she was worried that there were demons waiting for her near Tianyanzong, so she did not return to Tianyanzong immediately after returning to Qingyun Domain.

Instead, they sneaked into Xiaozhu Peak.

The entire Lingxiao Sect, only Yun Haitang knew that Xiyue was here to heal her wounds.

Fortunately, the demons have never appeared around Qingyunyu.

"So, the demons didn't find that dark streak?" Chen Ping said.

"Yeah." Xiyue nodded:

"Probably not. If they really found 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.

In this way, at least the Qingyun domain is not the most chaotic area, otherwise I really have to consider the problem of running away.

Now that there is turmoil everywhere, it is the best result not to run around.

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

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

"I don't know if you have returned to the demon? I will inquire about her situation as soon as I go out. However, according to my guess, she is not an imprisoned supporter. I am afraid it will not be so easy to get out of the boundary wall. It is likely to stay in the boundary wall .” Xiyue was a little ashamed.

Silver Moon was invited by her.

In the end, they didn't come back together.

Maybe there is a possibility of death.

"I once had a relationship with Zhenjun Yinyue. In my opinion, she is not the kind of reckless person. If she wants to hide, the demons may not be able to find her easily." Chen Ping comforted.

Seeing that Xiyue was silent, Chen Ping asked again:

"Actually, there is one thing that I don't quite understand. Since the Silver Moon Demon Queen is not the one who imprisoned the supporter, why didn't the master go to find the companion who is also the imprisoned supporter for this action, but invited True Monarch Silver Moon?"

Xiyue breathed out like blue when she heard the words.

Slowly said:

"When you met Chi Liang in the wild forest, do you still remember what Chi Liang said?"

"Which sentence?" Chen Ping didn't respond for a while.

"—The demon king is dead."

The demon king is dead?

Chen Ping remembered.

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

"That's right, the master of Luanluo City, the demon king, is one of the channel-imprisoned supporters just like me. However, the demon king has actually been missing for many years, and the demons all claim that the demon king has been in seclusion, and even the princes Don't know the truth."

"The supporters 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 a little friendship with this seat. After inquiring about the situation of the Moyang boundary wall from somewhere, she has been begging this seat to take her in and have a look. She vowed 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 big eyes, and said:

"Of course, that's just one of them."

"More importantly, I believe in her more than I believe in those companions who imprisoned the supporters."

Um?

Chen Ping shrugged his nose.

There was a smell of conspiracy.

"Master, what does this 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 big eyes.

Chen Ping hesitated.

The look, the tone, the words.

Chen Ping understands.

Master, is this an affectionate confession?

The opening words of the confession in Mary Su's drama are all similar to this.

He took a deep breath and sighed:

"Master, at this very moment when the catastrophe in the human world is at hand, we should focus on the overall situation, and must not indulge in personal emotions. After the catastrophe is over, we will discuss each other again."

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

"My seat, it means that since I met you, I know more truths."

"Do you want to die?"

ah?

Ha ha ha ha.

Chen Ping laughed hahahaha, concealing his reddened old face:

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

The faint blush on Xiyue's face was fleeting, and without looking at Chen Ping, she said:

"The identity of imprisoning the donors is inherited from the master of this seat, so this seat has never asked anything in the past, and has never delved into anything. It just focuses on doing its own thing well."

"But the experience with you on the Canglan Grassland, especially the appearance of the broken arm of the Yaozu, made me realize that there may be secrets in this imprisonment."

"Although... I still haven't figured out the mystery of this, but in terms of fighting side by side, I prefer to believe in trustworthy people rather than a certain common identity."

Chen Ping understood what Xiyue meant.

And in what Xiyue said just now, he always felt that Xiyue seemed to deliberately conceal something.

Maybe it was something she found in her investigation.

It may also be that 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?" Chen Ping's eyes fell on her.

Xiyue came back to her senses and nodded slightly:

"about there."

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

"Since the injury has almost recovered, I will leave another day. However, once I return to the Tianyan Sect, there will definitely be secret work to spread the news to the ears of the demons, which means that the demons will know that I have passed away from the world. escaped from the wall. It also means that the boundary wall will no longer be a secret."

"At that time, the demons will probably be ready to disperse in advance. Therefore, I must make a quick decision so that the demons have no time to react."

Xiyue looked back at Chen Ping, Xiao Su said:

"Therefore, you must be prepared. Once I leave Ling Xiaozong, the battle to kill demons will start within a few days. Whether you choose to stay or go to the boundary wall to kill demons, it will not be easy."

Chen Ping secretly complained.

He just came back from Tianyan Sect, just learned how to refine weapons, and just entered the middle stage of Jindan, and he hasn't even refined the natal magic weapon yet, so he didn't expect that the small human-devil war would come early.

From Xiyue's tone, it can be seen that such a big battle may come in a few days at the earliest, and less than a month at the latest.

This came too fast.

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

"."

Chen Ping and Xiyue continued to chat for a while.

Knowing that Xiyue's return this time may not be the priority to return to Tianyanzong, but to go to Zhongdao to discuss the matter of killing demons.

As for the decision?

How to act?

Everyone has to discuss it before deciding, Chen Ping has no way to know in advance.

As for the dark pattern in the Qingyun domain, Xiyue did not intend to repair it immediately.

On the one hand, repairing is not an easy task, and it cannot be done overnight, and it is not even something that she alone can accomplish.

On the other hand, it is to avoid arguing.

There is a certain amount of movement in repairing the cracks. Once the demons notice it, it will be counterproductive.

Anyway, the demons haven't found it yet, so we might as well wait until the end of the Demon Killing War to make a decision.

"Master has escaped from the boundary wall for several months. Those demons may think that you are still trapped in the boundary wall, or they may guess that you have escaped."

"If I were a demon, I would make all the preparations during this period, so no matter what plan Master makes, be careful." Chen Ping reminded, paused and said:

"So far, I have only one master."

Xiyue took a short breath.

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 later."

Chen Ping didn't say anything more.

Xiyue is a person with 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 war.

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

After thinking about it:

"There is one more thing I want to tell Master. Gong Zhiyuan of Nakajima Xuanyuanzong has entered the southwest of Xihuang twice in the past decades to expand the territory. Even after this defeat, some people are still active in the Dragon-seeking Sect."

"The first time, this disciple thought it was just caused by Xuanyuanzong's wild outburst. But the second time Gong Zhiyuan came again, I always felt that it was abnormal. This area is barren and remote, so it's not enough for a big sect to miss it."

"Unless there's something unique that attracts them."

After hearing what Chen Ping said, Xiyue frowned with her slender willow-leaf eyebrows, lost in deep thought, and then suddenly raised her head to look at Chen Ping:

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

Xiyue is a smart person.

He immediately guessed what Chen Ping was thinking.

Chen Ping nodded:

"After all, the only thing of Qing Yunyu's value is that dark pattern."

"But that's just my guess. I hope I'm wrong."

Xiyue clenched her small hands unconsciously, and her eyes became deeper.

She knew what the further meaning of these words was. If Xuan Yuanzong was also looking for the dark pattern, then it was very likely that the people behind Gong Zhiyuan had already taken refuge in the demon clan. And the Demon Race seems to have noticed the breath of such cracks, but they haven't found where yet.

At least there is such a possibility.

"I see." She nodded.
