Lord of Deception

Yu Ziqing really didn't panic at all. The guy said that there was no way to contact the outside world, and he was not afraid of having his hide blown.

The seventh-floor ring in his hand, even in the Book of Anshi, only became stuck, but the message had no effect.

Could this trap-breaking formation be able to block the ring on the seventh floor?

After just a few glances, Yu Ziqing knew that he couldn't break this formation, and his eyes darkened.

Just look for foreign aid.

Close your eyes and start contacting Laoyang.

After a while, Lao Yang came up from the stairs and said happily when he saw Yu Ziqing.

"How long have you been out, and something has happened?"

"There's a little trouble. I was trapped by a large formation."

"Hahaha..." Lao Yang laughed and laughed for a long time.

Yu Ziqing was speechless. He looked at Lao Yang and smiled. He asked for help and endured it.

After Lao Yang had laughed enough at the joke, he said.

"What kind of formation?"

"It is said that it is called the Eight Directions Sand Sea Formation. It is filled with yellow sand, and there are eight stone tablets in all directions. Also, that person said that a blessed land was built into this formation."

"Hey, why did you provoke others and spend so much money to trap you? This is going to trap you to death." Lao Yang was shocked.

"That person said that this formation will dissipate on its own in a year."

"Is this your first day out? Even those idiots and hungry ghosts at home won't believe such nonsense." Lao Yang seized the opportunity and began to tease Yu Ziqing.

"..."

Yu Ziqing remained silent.

Although he didn't believe it, the two sides had enmity before, and they dared to attack him last time, kidnapped him and sent him to death.

Even if you don't dare to kill him directly now, there is no reason why you don't dare to trap him to death.

He also felt that the so-called one year was just delaying time, and everything would be settled after one year.

But when I said those words just now, it did seem a bit stupid.

"Let's talk about this formation first."

Yu Ziqing had an idea and showed the picture in his mind to Lao Yang.

After a few glances, Lao Yang nodded.

"Yes, it is indeed the Eight Directions Sand Sea Formation.

This great formation was created by a certain ancestor in the forbidden land of the Sand Sea, following the ups and downs of the Sand Sea for three hundred years before he had an epiphany.

It is the most capable of dissipating huge power, and has great restrictions on existences such as monsters and ferocious beasts who practice physical cultivation or practice in animal form.

There is also a blessed land built here. With your strength, it is absolutely impossible to break it open by force.

If you have a ninth-level physical cultivation, or if you have grown to the eighth level, it is possible to break through it by force.

Moreover, after the formation is formed, as long as it is activated, it will absorb the mustard seeds, just like a real blessed place, leaving only an entrance to the outside world.

With the blessed earth as the foundation and the earth's energy connected to it, judging from the current operation of this formation, there will be no problem in maintaining it for several thousand years.

As long as the other party covers the last remaining entrance to the outside and your bones are rotten inside, no one may know.

So, let me ask, who have you provoked? They dare not kill you personally, but they spend so much money to trap you? "

"That's the guy who kidnapped me before and sent me to Baiyang Evil Sacrifice."

"How can a seventh-level Dongxu Realm guy spend such a huge sum of money? Just refining a blessed land and entering the battle is something that a Dongxu Realm monk can't do." Lao Yang naturally didn't believe it.

"Of course I know that this thing is definitely not something he can do. Now it involves the Shadow Division, and it is most likely related to the Shadow Chief Ye Jiuyuan. I went to Dali Imperial Capital before, and this guy doesn't cover up anymore, even if he angers me , also want me to leave Dali Imperial Capital as soon as possible."

"Have you left the Dali Imperial Capital?"

"Well, if I don't leave, that guy will definitely use other methods to force me to leave. He won't cover it up, and he will naturally use more drastic methods later, so I left to see what he wanted to do, so Ever since, it has become like this now.

I used to think that the guy wearing the metal mask was from Ye Jiuyuan, so no matter what he did, he would not dare to trap me to death as soon as I left the Dali Imperial Capital.

I'm not familiar with him, but I can tell that his methods of doing things are a bit simple and rough, but he sits very upright and has a good grasp of the scale, and he won't easily form a deadly feud.

It makes no sense for it to be so rough and obvious now. "

Yu Ziqing was thoughtful, and he felt that he had gone astray.

"Oh, that's true. I don't know that Ye Jiuyuan, nor am I familiar with him. However, since you can achieve the position of chief, you are going to give benefits to Dali. There is no grudge between us. , he really shouldn't target you publicly, it has no meaning other than offending people.

No wonder you acted like a fool before, thinking that people didn't want to kill you. "

Yu Ziqing's face darkened. Lao Yang was so desperate that he finally seized an opportunity and was desperate.

"Forget it, tell me first, how do I leave here? It's best not to be discovered that I left here, and not to destroy this formation."

"Don't think about good things. Do you think you can get out of any big formation with skills?

People have cultivated a small blessed land, which serves as the foundation of the big formation, and it is like a real blessed land. The sky and the round place inside it can be regarded as a complete small world.

The only flaw is not inside the formation, but outside it.

As for the flaws outside the formation, it would be too easy if he wanted to hide them. He could just create a camouflage formation to cover up his aura and hide it within a hundred miles. There might not be a blind cat that kills a mouse in eighteen hundred years. Go in.

Even if I go to look for it now, unless I directly use a large-scale secret method to plow hundreds of miles of land, I won't be able to find it in a short time.

You also said that it is far from the Imperial Capital, and no one can safely release any large-scale secrets there.

If you want to get out from inside, you can only forcefully break through the formation. "

"According to what you say, isn't this kind of formation invincible?"

"What is invincible? It is invincible for a small character like you, but for a strong person, it can only delay the time of a stick of incense at most. If you encounter such a powerful swordsman, it will be great if you can delay the time of a breath. .

On a normal day, who would need to spend such a large amount of money to deal with a fifth-level physical cultivator? "

"makes sense……"

"But..." Lao Yang made a turn and began to think.

"But what? It's time, don't talk half-talk."

"It's not like there's no other way to get you out of trouble. How about breaking through the formation and letting that person sense it."

Yu Ziqing said nothing and waited quietly.

Lao Yang stretched out his hand and gestured, speaking lightly.

"Now I will teach you how to operate the great formation. You can imitate the ancestors of those years and sink into the sea of ​​sand. From the inside, you can swallow the entire great formation together with the small blessed land on which it is based. Even if you forcefully break open the great formation, The formation has been formed, but the formation has not actually been destroyed, and the people setting up the formation will not feel it.”

"..."

Yu Ziqing's eyes widened.

He used to think that he was already a treacherous businessman, but later he was taught a lesson, that there is a treacherous person among treacherous people.

Later, he felt that he was also very greedy. He wanted to move everything he saw back home. Even when he passed a cesspool, he had to think about whether to take him back to farm.

Unexpectedly, the strong has its own strong hand, and Lao Yang is even more exaggerated.

Even the big formation that trapped him made the old sheep want to swallow it.

"Old Yang, when I passed by the manure pit, at most I wanted to get some fertilizer and water to go back to plant vegetables. You have to taste the saltiness when you pass by the manure pit.

It is true that I have cultivated my body, and it is true that my acupuncture points can store things, but everything has its limit.

Do you think I can swallow anything? "

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lao Yang's face darkened and he pointed outside: "Xianxin went out with you, right?"

"Yes, you are with me."

"She controls a domain. You won't forget that, right?"

"Let the compassion go..." Yu Ziqing suddenly realized it and sat there thoughtfully.

Well, it seems like it’s not necessarily impossible.

The abyss of despair has now expanded to a size of a hundred miles. Logically speaking, the speed should be considered slow.

Other hungry ghosts can slowly develop supernatural powers by swallowing their demonic thoughts and taking nectar. Some of the more special hungry ghosts can do so.

In such a comparison, Xianxun and Wu Shuangge should be stronger.

It's just that their starting points were too high. One of them had just changed his profession and had accompanying treasures. Almost half of the supernatural powers were given to Hunyuan Jindou. The subsequent advancements were also centered around promotion to Hunyuan Jindou.

The same goes for Xian Xian. Her starting point was too high. Not only did she succeed in changing jobs, but she also had a domain. The King of Hungry Ghosts personally helped her.

Xianxian also said before that the promotion of the Abyss of Despair is particularly slow, and most of the power is actually supplied to the abyss in the Abyss of Despair.

There, very early on, the Yinshen could trap and kill the monks.

And the original shape of that abyss is actually an abyss filled with monsters and demons.

But it later turned into a separate domain, and the power in the cliff and abyss plummeted by 99%, and now it has been reopened.

"Is it possible? Can the cliff and abyss really swallow this large formation?"

"Let's try it. I guess it won't be a big problem. I've been to the Cianqian domain before, and the cliffs and abyss there have indeed gained the charm of a real abyss. There should still be hope for burying a hundred-mile formation. She You can also get some benefits along the way.”

"Then tell me first how to run it smoothly."

"It's very simple for you. Just follow the air of dry earth and rise and fall with the sea of ​​sand. You can start from the edge or the center and follow it in a circle."

"I'm going to try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll tell you later."

Yu Ziqing left the seventh floor, opened his eyes and looked at Xianqing.

"Your cliff and abyss should be relatively strong, right? Can a land of a hundred miles be swallowed?"

"Huh?" Xian Xian was startled, and then glanced at the sea of ​​sand here: "This... I'm afraid I can't swallow it."

"I haven't asked you to swallow it in one gulp. Let's try it first. Or, let me go in first and take a look. By the way, I can come out if I go in, right?"

"It's possible. I've never been there, but I can feel it. It's more like a dungeon, a dungeon that devours power. I've tried it with other demonic thoughts before, and I can put them in. Now I can also put them out. It’s coming out, but when it comes out, the demonic thoughts will be devoured with a lot of power.”

"Forget it, I'd better not go. You wait in mid-air and don't affect the operation of the formation."

Yu Ziqing said nothing, rushed to the center of the sand sea, and plunged in with a fierce thrust.

Once there, he lay down and let the sea of ​​sand swallow him up.

The earth toad in his body looked up, stopped rolling the other four toads, and then sprayed out a breath of Wu earth energy, flowing through Yu Ziqing's whole body.

The sand sea here is modeled after the forbidden land of the sand sea. It is mostly filled with the air of dry earth. In fact, it is also based on Wu earth and has more dry and hot air.

The five qi in Yu Ziqing's chest were flowing, and it would indeed be easy to just go with the flow.

The most important thing is that this place is mainly a trap, and its lethality is very average. If it is swallowed by quicksand, Yu Ziqing's body will not be suffocated to death, nor will it be crushed to death.

His body was swept to the bottom of the sand sea. The heavy pressure and the quicksand strangulation were of no use. As time passed, he began to slowly integrate into the sand sea, following the quicksand ups and downs in the sand sea. .

It was like he was drawing ellipses one after another in a three-dimensional area, until all the trajectories slowly overlapped, and the entire sand sea was considered a complete walk.

Seven days later, Yu Ziqing's head popped up from the center. With his eyes closed, his body seemed to have emerged from the water and floated on the sea of ​​sand.

After walking a complete flow path, he was regarded by the sea of ​​sand as a foreign body that could not be ground and digested and vomited out.

After all, a grand formation is just a grand formation. If it were in the real sand sea forbidden area, this situation would not happen.

The quicksand in the forbidden area of ​​the sand sea will only pin him to the bottom forever, trapping him alive inside. If it doesn't work for a hundred years, it will last for ten thousand or one hundred thousand years...

After walking around for a while, Yu Ziqing waved to Xian Xian.

"Come on, I think there should be no problem. If you can't swallow it in one bite, just swallow it slowly and follow the rhythm of the big formation. It should be okay. After all, this is just a big formation."

Xianqing flew over and stretched out her hand to hold Yu Ziqing.

Following Yu Ziqing, they submerged into the sea of ​​sand.

"Follow my power and devour it."

"Yeah, I understand."

When a new flow began, Yu Ziqing floated along the sand sea with compassion. The quicksand all over the sky seemed to have encountered a black hole, pouring into it and disappearing.

But the disappearing quicksand appears to be the same on the surface, as if nothing has changed.

Seven days later, when the entire rotation was completed, the eight stone tablets outside began to sink and collapse toward the center.

The entire sand sea formation in all directions began to be twisted into a whirlpool, and a steady stream of water poured into the black hole in the center.

And the abyss of despair also began to unfold, and the yellow sand in the sky rolled up the small blessed land, turning into a yellow tornado, pouring into the cliff and abyss.

The yellow sand world in front of us is folding and twisting, and a new world is replacing it.

Slowly, the Bafang Sand Sea Formation completely disappeared, and the two of them appeared in the abyss of despair.

Xian Xian's face turned pale, and the entire abyss of despair was trembling slightly.

"Master, let's go quickly."

With a thought, Xian Xian and Yu Ziqing disappeared into the abyss of despair and appeared in the normal world.

But this place is dark, damp and cold, it should be a cave somewhere.

Floating in mid-air, Yu Ziqing looked back at the exit printed on the stone wall.

As the two people came out, there was no change in the exit, and there was a camouflage formation next to it to conceal the aura.

"The exit is still there, isn't it now directly connected to your abyss of despair?"

"The connection should still be that formation, because that formation has not been broken, it still exists, it just exists in the abyss under the cliff."

Xianqian seemed to be under a lot of pressure, her face was ugly, she could no longer maintain her figure, and was about to turn into her true self as a hungry ghost.

Yu Ziqing took out a bottle of nectar and gave it to her.

Seeing that Xian Xian's condition still wasn't very good, he took out a few more bottles.

After swallowing four or five bottles of Ganlin liquid in one breath, Xian Xian stabilized his body and did not turn into his true form as a hungry ghost.

"how's it going?"

"I feel much better, and the domain has stabilized. The cliff and abyss cannot digest the great formation, but it seems to have expanded to include the great formation."

After sensing it carefully for a moment again, he nodded firmly.

"Yes, it is included, but it will take some time to fully integrate."

"It's no problem. Can you let out the people who entered through this entrance?"

"it should be OK."

Yu Zi stepped out and entered through that entrance.

After entering, it turned out to be the Eight Directions Sand Sea Formation.

The next moment, his figure reappeared in the cave.

"Can this entrance be taken away?"

"You can't do it now. You can wait until the Abyss of Despair completely incorporates the formation. But you can destroy it now. The formation already has other exits. If this place is abandoned, it will not collapse."

"No, don't destroy it, don't move it, keep it." Yu Ziqing looked at the exit and grinned: "Let's go first."

Yu Ziqing floated out of the cave with compassion.

Sure enough, there was nothing outside, anything that might attract anyone's attention.

The surrounding scene has been completely different since then.

Looking around, it was probably certain that this place should have been moved nearly a hundred miles to the north compared to where they came in.

If someone comes to search all over the place, the range to be searched is not a hundred miles, but a radius of a hundred miles.

It does take some time to find this hidden entrance.

Yu Ziqing restrained his breath and walked on the ground without showing any strength.

Relying purely on the physical body, I headed all the way towards Busch Town.

Everyone who should cooperate has cooperated. Now we just wait to watch the show and wait for people to take the initiative to deliver it to our door.

…

Dali Imperial Capital, Shadow Department, a group of Shadow Department executives were having a meeting.

Ye Jiuyuan sat there casually, looking indifferent.

Because the main content of this meeting is to spray him.

Ye Jiuyuan used a dishonorable method to force Yu Ziqing to leave the Dali Imperial Capital. Before leaving, he also issued a ban on the Shadow Division.

From now on, no hungry ghost will dare to pick up their demonic thoughts among all the people in the Shadow Division, even if they have Gan Lin in their hands.

Ever since the last time Yu Zi summoned millions of hungry ghosts with a single breath, no one believed this.

And it just so happened that the people in the Shadow Department were the major contributors to demonic thoughts.

No matter how magnanimous the people here are, how passionate they are about their careers, they feel that they are walking in the dark but doing the right thing.

That is purely to comfort myself. Only the true villains and the evil people who are honest and evil will not have to worry too much about giving birth to evil thoughts after staying here for a long time.

However, the Shadow Division cannot allow such pure bad people and pure anti-social evil to come.

Those who have no bottom line are not qualified for this kind of work. Even if they appear occasionally, they will die soon and will not be able to wait for the day of rising.

But for those who have a bottom line, when they get here, no matter who they are, the bottom line will always be breached again and again.

In the past, the people of the Shadow Division had a private favorable impression of Hungry Ghost and an innate favorable impression of Jin Lanshan, which was not low at all.

In addition, this time Yu Ziqing came to Dali Imperial Capital specifically to bring a batch of sweet rain.

Everyone has no grudges these days and no grudges in the past. Even if they don't know each other, these guys' impressions of Yu Ziqing are not bad at least.

Because there were indeed people from the Shadow Division who went to Busch Town to eliminate the evil thoughts when the evil thoughts secretly grew to the point where they could wreak havoc.

The diluted rain is also a treasure that can be redeemed with merit within the Shadow Division.

From top to bottom, as long as they have enough credit and there is still Gan Lin in the Shadow Department, anyone can change it.

Su Li slowly got around in the Shadow Department. In addition to everyone gradually realizing that his ability to do things and be a good person were quite good, apart from his weak strength, Gan Lin also made great contributions.

When the sweet rain outside became less and less, and Yu Ziqing held on tight to prevent it from being released, no matter who said it, there would be no more production, so what Su Li had in his hands would be particularly precious.

After using it as a favor and saving two people, his position as the shadow user began to slowly become stable.

At least he had a task to do, and it was no longer a simple task.

He can also do difficult tasks, tasks that a shadow user should do, because someone will help him.

But now, everything was ruined by Ye Jiuyuan.

Yu Ziqing only targeted the Shadow Division, not anyone else.

A few days ago, Lin Guogong went to Busi Town. After returning, Lin Guogong looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, but he was in high spirits and his eyes were shining. He had obviously recovered.

There were other people who went there too and had no problems.

The Shadow Division wanted to send someone to try, but the problem came, they no longer had Ganlin in their hands.

Duke Lin Guo does have some, but Duke Lin Guo has made it clear that your Shadow Division doesn't need them, so it's useless to give them to you.

Mr. Lin Guogong is not crazy. He wants to offend Yu Ziqing, the only source of goods, for those guys who he doesn't usually interact with and dare not have close friendship with?

We didn't have much friendship with each other in the first place, and we didn't even dare to have any friendship on the surface. It's strange that Lin Guogong can show such good looks to the Shadow Division.

On the contrary, it would be best if no one from the Shadow Division is allowed in.

In this way, from Emperor Li to everyone else who is not in the Shadow Division, they will rest assured about him.

Otherwise, he is a prince who commands a large army and has close friendship with the people of the Shadow Division. What is that like?

It is a must to have melon fields and plum trees.

By the way, the person who criticized the Shadow Division also leaked some information to the outside world.

I have a lot of rain here. By the way, I have completely recovered now and will not die.

As for the prince, there are some.

Unfortunately, just as the prince would not interfere in the affairs of the Shadow Division, the Shadow Division did not dare to get close to the prince.

Also, on the day Yu Ziqing left, the prince went to Li Huang and made the Shadow Department angry from top to bottom. Li Huang's face turned green with anger, but he couldn't say anything.

Everything the prince said makes sense.

The general meaning is that Jinlanshan's representatives outside the country do transactions with friendship.

The chief of the Shadow Division arranged an assassination on the street. Are he really not afraid of accidentally killing the young master of Jin Lanshan?

Besides, the chief of the Shadow Division has personally come forward. Father, don’t say you don’t know about this. Didn’t you arrange this?

When did your dog dare to make such a decision on his own?

Father, this move of yours will make people laugh. I find it embarrassing for Dali Shen Dynasty to be afraid of people from Jinlan Mountain entering the imperial capital.

The prince said it euphemistically, not so straightforwardly, but the smell of yin and yang was definitely there.

After saying that, the prince left.

On the same day, Emperor Li summoned the Shadow Chief to enter the palace.

It is said that Emperor Li, who had not been angry for a long time, kicked the Shadow Lord and flew out of the palace.

Today, the theme of the Shadow Department meeting was basically to spray Ye Jiuyuan, and there is no more, because there is no solution.

Qing Ziyu disappeared after leaving the Dali Imperial Capital, making it clear that she did not want to see them.

And they didn't dare to go to Jinlan Mountain, let alone enter Jinlan Mountain. If they dared to set foot in the forbidden area of ​​Jinlan Mountain, Li Huangdu would be the first to cut off their legs.

Ye Jiuyuan looked shameless, sitting there spitting on his face, pretending not to hear.

When the spray was almost done and there was a tendency to stop, Ye Jiuyuan said in a neutral tone.

"If you feel that what I have done is wrong, you can let such a dangerous guy roam around the capital freely, and you can tell me."

The scene became slightly quiet, and no one could say that the purpose of this matter was wrong.

It can only be said that the method is wrong.

It hurts everyone.

After a moment or two of silence, it was another round of war of words.

The old man sitting at the top looked unhappy. He coughed lightly, and the meeting fell silent instantly.

"Stop arguing, it's almost over. The chief did not handle this matter very well this time."

The old man looked around and looked at the people around him.

"It's rare that so many people have gathered today. The chief and second officers are here, and six of the eight shadow envoys are here. Let me tell you something by the way."

The old man spoke very slowly and seemed a little out of breath.

"I am old, my life is short, and disaster is coming soon. It is time to arrange the person who will succeed me as prime minister.

Although His Majesty personally decides on the successor, I can still use my old face to recommend someone to Your Majesty.

We in the Shadow Division have suffered heavy casualties. To be able to survive all the way to this day is because everyone here has made great contributions.

Logically speaking, you are all qualified.

However, I have considered it comprehensively, from ability to merit to considering the future.

Among the Shadowbringers, there are two who are already quite old. Their position as leader cannot be changed easily. You should stop fighting. I will give you a good death. "

Upon hearing this, the two shadow users, who were both quite young, immediately stood up and thanked them.

They didn't intend to fight. A happy death was their greatest hope.

"As for the remaining few, including the two who are not here today, you are still young. Either your credit is not enough, or your potential is not enough. The future is unknown, but you are still unable to take on the leading roles in the near future."

The remaining shadow users did not deny it.

"So in the end, the candidate I recommended was chosen from Chief Ye Jiuyuan and Second Chief Fu Xiao.

It’s really not easy to choose. I will recommend the list to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make a decision. "

Ye Jiuyuan stood up, his face was calm, and he seemed to have a chance of victory, and he cupped his hands towards the leader.

"Thank you, Lord First."

The second seat, Fu Xiao, also stood up, thanked him first, and then looked at Ye Jiuyuan.

"Master Ye is obviously more suitable than me. He is stronger and more capable than me. Sir, let's choose Master Ye directly."

"My words don't count, it's up to His Majesty to decide."

The old man stood up, turned around and walked towards the back.

Ye Jiuyuan also stood up at this time and followed without changing his expression.

After Ye Jiuyuan left, a shadow user couldn't help but said.

"Master Fu is a bit weaker than Master Ye, but his abilities in all aspects are far better than Master Ye."

"You can't say that, it's just that each has its own emphasis." Fu Xiao immediately shook his head.

…

On the other side, the Shadow Chief returned to his residence and entered the secret room.

In a secret compartment, he took out a book with the four characters "White Sun Sacred Code" written on it.

He looked at the book, felt the charm inside, and suddenly smiled.

"It's almost time..."

He opened the White Sun Scripture and took out some incense crystals from the secret compartment.

This should be the only remaining incense crystal in the world.

Ever since the Holy Mother of the White Sun was obliterated, part of the content of the White Sun Sacred Code has been erased. From then on, there has been no such crystallization of incense.

Because the people and methods that can condense this kind of incense crystal have been wiped out.

But those who practice the White Sun Canon can still use the remaining incense crystals.

He looked through the White Sun Sacred Code, and the more he read, the more he felt that after the evil parts of this method were erased, it could no longer be more orthodox, it was the most orthodox method of refining qi.

Moreover, with his ability to accept all rivers, even with his current strength, it is still possible for him to change cultivation.

In fact, he has been practicing concurrently for a long time, and there is no problem with the compatibility of Shadow Division's Shadow Escape.

Today's change is the time to completely transform and advance.

As he began to practice, the power in his body began to transform into the power of the White Sun Holy Code. When he was about to reach the ninth level and got stuck, he took out three incense crystals and started to help.

Soon, his realm dropped to the eighth level, and then returned to the ninth level again, and he continued to move forward. When the middle stage was approaching, he took out all the incense crystals in one go, and used his divine power to forcefully help him break through, reaching the third calamity. The second calamity of the realm.

At this time, he had already faintly realized that his disaster had begun to brew, and he could no longer stop it, and it would happen soon.

He sat there, unmoved, with a calm expression, and continued to absorb the incense crystals, absorbing all the incense crystals, and constantly pushing his level higher.

Half a month later, the shadow leader walked out of the secret room, with demonic energy surging around his body and a frown on his face.

In his heart, the demonic thoughts took advantage of his entanglement to cause chaos, preventing him from breaking through to the third calamity.

The moment he walked out, streams of light flew from the Shadow Department and landed there. Everyone looked at the old leader in shock.

There is a hint of violence in the eyes of the Shadow Lord.

"My breakthrough failed and disaster struck early. I am no longer suitable to enter the palace."

"I'm going to beg Your Highness." Ye Jiuyuan turned around and disappeared into a ray of light.

The old man took out a scroll of handwriting and looked at Fu Xiao.

"Take my handwritten letter and enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

"grown ups……"

"Go, don't delay, I can't control myself anymore."

After Fu Xiao left, Old Shouzun looked at the others.

"I have a limited lifespan, and I will either die at the end of my lifespan, or I will have to break through and suffer another catastrophe to extend my lifespan. Now the tribulation of inner demons has arrived.

Since it is a disaster, it is far beyond what ordinary demonic thoughts can compare to. I am already in danger of escaping.

I am also tired and old. Many things have been explained one after another before, so I won’t repeat them again.

You must serve His Majesty wholeheartedly from now on.

I have devoted my life to my duties, and now that I am dying, I don’t want to die here, let alone at the hands of my colleagues.

Then go kill some demons and forget about dying there. This will save other people from harm. You don’t have to follow me. I’ll go. "

After the old master finished speaking, he turned into a ray of light and soared into the sky.

He flew all the way out of the capital and headed straight for the cracks in the abyss.

Not long after Old Shouzun left, Ye Jiuyuan also came out of the palace city and chased after him.

…

On the other side of the crack in the abyss, Yu Ziqing was sitting on the edge of the cliff, drinking tea and eating snacks, listening to the profiteer and hungry ghost on the side telling him what he had heard recently.

All kinds of gossip and gossip in the abyss may blow along the wind from the cracks in the abyss. The profiteers and hungry ghosts don't know many important things, but they are still very helpful to Yu Ziqing's understanding of the abyss.

For example, the fights between those monsters happen every three days.

Recently, the fight between the black sky demon and the day demon has been so fierce that the Nu River has been dyed red with blood.

Just because they used real fire, it seemed like it would only end if one of the two sides was wiped out.

Then a stronger demon came from the next level of the abyss and mediated the bloody battle between the two waves of demons, but the requirement was that the Black Sky Demon Mother release the daytime demon that she had brought back to squeeze.

The Black Sky Demon Mother had no choice but to bear it. After swallowing the head of the day demon on the spot, she threw his body out and let him go.

"So, is this abyss actually considered a layer?"

"Sir, it should be like this. This is the first floor."

"Oh, no wonder..."

Yu Ziqing suddenly realized, no wonder the abyss he went to last time was all mountains and extremely desolate. Even with King Xiang's escape speed and eyesight, he couldn't find anything different. It seemed that the whole world was made of mountains.

It turned out that there were really no monsters on that floor, it was another layer. It wasn't that he didn't find the monsters.

After recalling the aura he felt at that time, Yu Ziqing felt that the matter of relieving the giant man's boredom must be raised further.

There is a high probability that that floor is actually the giant's cell.

Who is he that needs to be suppressed there?

"You go on."

Yu Ziqing was so bored that he could only listen to the gossips of profiteers and hungry ghosts to relieve his boredom.

He is trapped now. He really has nowhere to go, and he can't go to Busch Town. He can only come here quietly and wait.

"Sir, someone has come to give alms."

"Well, a batch of Ganlin has just been released recently. It's normal for more people to come than before."

"No, it was ordered by the Lord. The people from the Shadow Division, the other hungry ghosts noticed the source of the demonic thoughts and sent them back."

"Who is coming?"

"I heard he is the leader of shadows."

"Huh?" Yu Ziqing sat up immediately, a little surprised: "The person who is possessed by the devil is the shadow leader?"

"Another man named Ye Jiuyuan also came. The Shadow Chief said that his inner demon calamity was so fierce that he could no longer control it and asked Ye Jiuyuan to kill him."

"Ye Jiuyuan said he couldn't take action. Oh, he took action. The shadow leader died and fell into the abyss."

Yu Ziqing looked at the way the profiteer hungry ghost stretched his ears and sighed.

This guy should learn how to read a book. This live broadcast made no waves.

"Let's avoid it."

Yu Ziqing followed the profiteer hungry ghost into a cave, and the aura of the hungry ghosts around him filled the air, completely covering up his and Xian's aura.

A moment later, an old man was seen flying up from under the crack. There was a sword stuck in the old man's chest, and his chest was full of blood.

The hungry ghosts around him all stayed in their respective caves. They just glanced at the old man and went about their own business.

The old man seemed to be used to the strange thing. After he landed, he pulled out the sword from his chest, took out an oil lamp, stretched out two fingers, pinched the wick lightly, and the oil lamp was extinguished.

He fell on the edge of the cliff, full of demonic aura, but his expression was calm, as if he couldn't bear the inner demons.

Yu Ziqing was stunned when he saw this scene while hiding in the cave.

He had already guessed that something was going to happen in the Shadow Department, and this matter might have been caused by the sent Gan Lin.

That's why Ye Jiuyuan forced him in that way, as if he really wanted to anger him.

After Yu Ziqing figured this out, he took advantage of the situation and issued a ban. Of course, it was a scary talk at the time, but later he quietly came out of the formation, and after he came to the abyss, it became a real ban.

But Yu Ziqing never thought that the person possessed by the devil would be the contemporary shadow master.

This old guy has lived long enough and has been in the Shadow Division all his life, and I have never heard of him being possessed by a demon before.

Now I suddenly can't suppress my evil thoughts and become obsessed with it. Who can believe it?

Ah, it's a disaster in the Three Tribulation Realm, so it's okay.

Yu Ziqing looked at Laoshou Zun's movements, and the more he looked at them, the weirder he felt.

The oil lamp he took out just now, if he wasn't blind, it should be a soul lamp.

If he guessed correctly, if this old guy extinguished this soul lamp, the soul lamps in the Shadow Department would also be extinguished together.

So, is there any way to cheat the soul lamp?

This trick can be learned, and it seems quite easy to learn.

Yu Ziqing glanced at the profiteer Hungry Ghost, who immediately felt aggrieved.

"Sir, I only heard about it, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. How could I know that he was actually not dead?"

"It's okay. I just think that you have to learn how to tell stories and learn to verify the authenticity of the news you hear. Otherwise, one day, you will hear false news and it will harm you."

"Oh, your Excellency is right." The profiteer and hungry ghost thought deeply and remembered it in his heart.

The news he heard this time was a bit quick to slap in the face, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing to slap him in the face in front of his immediate boss.

The old man pulled out the sword from his chest and took a pill. After recovering from his injuries, he even had time to change his clothes.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like you’re being pushed to the edge and overcoming the demons in your heart. It’s more like you’re on stage performing, the play is over, and you’re off stage.

After waiting for a long time, I saw him sitting there, using the strong aura of hungry ghosts here to suppress his inner demons.

In just a few hours, the demonic aura on his body dissipated and he returned to his normal self.

He stood up, looked at the countless hungry ghosts around him, and bowed his hands politely.

"There are hungry ghosts who can talk. I have something to say, and I would like to ask you to convey it to Jinlan Mountain in the future."

The profiteer and hungry ghost climbed up the cliff and said with a dark face.

"What are you talking about? I have nothing to say to the people from the Dali Shadow Division."

The old man smiled and bowed his hands in a friendly manner.

"There are some misunderstandings that need to be resolved."

"What misunderstanding is there? My young master has been missing for many days. If you are wise, please release my young master as soon as possible. Otherwise, your Shadow Division cannot bear the price."

"Missing?" The old man frowned slightly and said silently, "I can guarantee that your young master will not be in danger."

"What guarantee do you have? Do you rely on your fake death to guarantee it?"

The old man looked at the profiteer and hungry ghost, looked around again, and suddenly laughed, he cupped his hands and said loudly.

"Master Qing, please come out and explain. What happened before is indeed a misunderstanding. I have no intention of involving Master Qing."

Yu Ziqing, who was lying in the hole, sighed.

"Let's go out, this profiteer and hungry ghost, his acting skills are not very good."

Yu Ziqing flew up from below with compassion. The old man's face straightened and he greeted him politely.

"I've met Master Qing."

"I have met the first Lord."

The old man looked at the profiteer and hungry ghost beside him and smiled.

"Your young master has given it back to you now."

Yu Ziqing patted the profiteer Hungry Ghost on the shoulder and said.

"It's okay, I don't blame you, you just know that I am safe. If you don't know that I am safe, you know that I got into trouble because of the Shadow Division.

I'm sure you won't be afraid of him. If you meet him, you'll scold him for how dare this old guy come to die here. You won't be afraid that the smell of corpses will affect your appetite.

Then spit on his face, and then summon the hungry ghosts on the spot. If they can't kill him, they will drown him with spit.

He knew just by seeing that you didn't spit in his face that you must have confirmed that I was safe and here. "

"It's the villain who is stupid..." The profiteer and hungry ghost admitted his mistake honestly.

When faced with Yu Ziqing's accusations and scoldings, the old man resigned himself to it, smiling and accepting the scolding calmly.

After Yu Ziqing finished cursing, the old man said.

"You don't even know who you are cooperating with, but you dare to cooperate, so naturally I have to come here and explain it myself. This is indeed just an accident.

No one expected that you would release those sweet rains when you came to Dali Imperial Capital at this time.

It's true that I didn't mean to involve you. "

"You're possessed and you're cheating. You've been planning for so long. If you're fishing here, you have to tell me what kind of fish you want to catch, right?"

"Catch a lot of fish, and one of them is the fish that kidnapped you. When I catch it, I will give it to you to handle as a thank you gift for your cooperation this time. How about it?"

"No need, I've already met him. He used the Eight Directions Sand Sea Formation that was refined into a blessed place and trapped me inside. He wanted to completely trap me to death. Now I'm casting the net to catch fish."

"Huh? Bafang Shahai Formation?" The old man frowned slightly, but he did not ask Yu Ziqing how he came out.

He knew that there was a formation map in the Shadow Division for this large formation, but the large formation was a bit useless. The strong could not trap it, and the weak could not use it.

Therefore, this formation has always been there, and the Shadow Division has never refined this formation.

“Well, it’s that big formation, let’s not talk about that for now.

Are you pretending to die, so you're not afraid of actually dying? And you don’t take control personally, and you’re not afraid of the situation getting out of control? "

Yu Ziqing was a little curious.

He had heard that no one in the Shadow Department was a fuel-efficient person.

"If you die, you will die. My lifespan is limited, and there is a high probability that I will not be able to survive the second calamity of the three calamities.

Before I die, unplugging those hidden dangers and digging out those hidden nails is the limit of what I can do.

As for when I die, I'm dead and the rest has to be done by others. "

The old man was very calm, he looked at Yu Ziqingdao.

"Actually, my plan has something to do with you.

When you were kidnapped, I quietly found out something.

The person who kidnapped you may have something to do with the Shadow Division, or he may be someone from the Shadow Division.

Unfortunately, after all this time, I still haven't found out who it is.

Then a few days ago, the Yin family was kidnapped, and it was revealed from Daqian that there was a magic weapon in Langya courtyard that could expand the cracks in the abyss.

The force that suddenly appeared has definitely not existed for just a hundred years.

There must be some of their people in Dali. I had an encounter with them many years ago, but I just didn't catch the tail.

More than ten years ago, I revealed within the Shadow Division that I had the intention to abdicate.

There is also the intention of fighting to the death, advancing again, and facing the second disaster.

It’s only been a few years, but some people can’t wait anymore.

When the Yin family's incident came up, I knew why they couldn't wait any longer.

Later, guess what I got? "

"What?"

"I got the entire volume of the White Sun Sacred Code written by Our Lady of White Sun herself and some incense crystals."

"???"

Yu Ziqing had a question mark on his face.

One thing to say, he really didn't expect this.

"It's a pity that at that time, the White Sun Sacred Scripture was not what it is today. The Holy Mother of the White Sun was still there, so I naturally didn't use it.

I know that this thing is a conspiracy. If I use it, I have a great chance of advancing, improving my strength, and greatly increasing my hope of surviving the second calamity.

But if I use it, even if I survive the disaster, my position as the leader will definitely go down.

I felt that the time was not right until what happened to the Yin family.

And after the White Sun Sacred Code has also changed, I think it’s almost the same.

Don't look at me with that expression. I have indeed studied the White Sun Sacred Code now. The current White Sun Sacred Code is the real holy canon.

If I don't advance, if I don't take the initiative to trigger the second catastrophe, where will the demonic thoughts in my heart get the chance? How can I become a demon and how can I deceive everyone? "

The old man was happy, but Yu Ziqing became more and more puzzled the more he listened.

"I'm still saying the same thing, how many fish do you want to catch, are you really not afraid of losing control? Where did your White Sun Scripture and Incense Crystal come from?"

"Ye Jiuyuan gave it to me."

"Do you know where Ye Jiuyuan comes from?"

"I don't know, even Ye Jiuyuan himself doesn't know."

"The person who stabbed you and threw you down was also Ye Jiuyuan, right?"

"That's right."

Seeing the old Shouzun's answer, Yu Ziqing was speechless.

"It turns out that you all know that it was Ye Jiuyuan who forced me to leave. I all know that Ye Jiuyuan has a high probability of succeeding as the leader. You will definitely know it too. Then how can you still dare? How do you know that you are going to catch There’s no Ye Jiuyuan in the fish?”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, very happily.

"What you said is correct. Ye Jiuyuan does seem to have bad intentions, cruel methods, and willful behavior, but he is strong and has all the abilities he should have.

His chances of succeeding as the leader are indeed very high. Even among the two people I recommended to Your Majesty, he has a position.

I can't believe everyone in the Shadow Department, but I can only believe him. "

"Is this what I can hear next?"

"It's been so long, there should be nothing left to say."

"Then tell me." Yu Ziqing was really curious. It was obvious that someone wanted the old leader to abdicate or die.

"I changed my name when I entered the Shadow Division. Before that, my last name was Ye, and everyone who knew this had died long ago."

"The surname is Ye..."

Yu Ziqing looked stunned and his eyes widened.

"I remember, Ye Jiuyuan doesn't seem to be very old..."

"Not very old. He is only over two hundred years old this year. In terms of his strength, he is still very young." The old leader seemed to be very proud of this: "I have endured it for a long, long time. Except for Your Majesty, no one can I know, I finally dare to say it today, hahaha..."

Yu Ziqing was greatly shocked. Good guy, two hundred years ago, the old man was not too young. He actually gave birth to a son and quietly raised him by his side.

"Does he know?"

"I know it."

"Good guy, no wonder you are so confident. Aren't you afraid that he really wants to kill you?"

"If he wants to succeed as the leader, then I would be more than happy."

Speaking of this, Laoshou Zun sighed.

"You may not believe it when I tell you, but he doesn't want to be the leader at all. He thinks this position is too restrictive and boring.

As long as he takes office, there will never be a moment of escape in this life. Just thinking about it makes him feel that life is worse than death.

He went out of his way to help me just to let me live longer.

With me here, he can continue to do what he wants to do, continue to act arbitrarily, and live more comfortably.

If you can advance to the ninth level in the future, you can still leave the Shadow Division smoothly with my help.

But if I die or he succeeds me, there will be no such opportunity.

To be honest, I would rather he be more ruthless and use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to kill me, and then he can defeat other people and successfully rise to the top.

Since I have been loyal to Da Li, I naturally hope that he will take my place, but it is a pity..."

Yu Ziqing set up a stone table and bench, brewed tea and listened to the old man telling stories.

He can no longer look directly at the father and son.

If Lao Shouzun dared to tell this in front of him, Yu Ziqing really dared to believe it.

The father was possessed by a demon and faked his death. He began to reveal his intention to abdicate more than ten years ago, step by step.

The son, on the surface, is a ruthless character who will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand, but in reality he is a spy.

In other words, in order to find out those people, this old guy did not hesitate to lay out for two hundred years, and even went to give birth to a son.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems and his son would not grow crooked, he kept him by his side and taught him since he was a child.

Now, the old leader "died" in Ye Jiuyuan's hands.

Yu Ziqing thought to himself that if he was one of those people hiding secretly, he would not know that Ye Jiuyuan was Lao Shouzun's biological son.

He will absolutely trust Ye Jiuyuan now, the kind that trusts him as a core member.

Just like Yu Ziqing's trust in Wu Shuangge and Xianxian.

Just thinking about it, Yu Ziqing shuddered and made up his mind to stay away from the happily smiling old immortal in front of him.

This old guy must have bad intentions when telling him this now.

Yes, I'm definitely not holding anything back.
