So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The area of ​​the Southern Wasteland is extremely vast. Even if it is placed in the Nine Provinces, its area is second only to the Eastern Province and the Demon Realm.

In fact, although the Southern Wasteland is somewhat desolate, this "desolation" is not really because it has no weeds or anything.

The reason why it is "desolate" is the situation caused by the "black fog".

In the earliest times, the Nine Provinces were not the Nine Provinces, but only the Eight Provinces.

It was just that one day in the past, a mysterious black fog slowly spread towards the south. Wherever the black fog passed, everything withered. The cultivators in the Eastern Province, the Demon Realm and other places all changed their color when they saw the black fog and avoided it. The place where the black fog spread also became a real taboo in people's hearts.

In the end, the black fog stopped in a certain area in the south and no longer spread forward.

The cultivators in the Nine Provinces were afraid of the black fog, so few cultivators from the outside world set foot in this area, for fear that they would be swallowed by the black fog accidentally.

Until one day, a person was born from the "black fog".

According to legend, it was a woman, wearing a black gauze dress, with pale skin, bare feet, and a gentle temperament.

Wherever she passed, the black fog strangely retreated.

Soon after that, more and more creatures were born from the black fog. Those creatures were born with countless eyes, with ferocious and strange looks. In terms of physical strength alone, they were even stronger than monsters.

Later, these creatures were called "evil gods" by the monks of Jiuzhou.

Among them, the strength of four gods was far stronger than that of normal southern wilderness creatures. They were born in the state of enlightenment. Not only could they move freely in the black fog, but they could even absorb part of the black fog for their own use. Soon after, they resonated with the way of heaven and achieved the supreme fruit of the Tao.

The monks of the southern wilderness believed that it was the grace of the "mistress of the black fog" that bathed this land.

In order to thank the mistress of the black fog, the monks of the southern wilderness built a temple, worshipped the woman as a god, and built a statue.

After that, the Southern Wasteland was divided into four major forces, which were controlled by the four pillars of the sky, earth, ocean and space.

Every few years, the Southern Wasteland Temple would open a secret realm, and occasionally one or two Southern Wasteland monks would be able to comprehend the Southern Wasteland secrets left by the first 'goddess' from the secret realm.

Those who comprehend the Southern Wasteland secrets can freely shuttle through the black fog of the Southern Wasteland without being swallowed.

Even though the Southern Wasteland had fallen into chaos due to the loss of the three pillars of the gods, the Southern Wasteland is still one of the most powerful regions.

Because they did not lose all the gods. Not only did Xue Yi return to the Southern Wasteland a few days ago, but more importantly, there are still rumors in the Southern Wasteland that the goddess is still alive and is protecting the Southern Wasteland, and countless Southern Wasteland monks still believe it.

After all, 'He' is the god who created the entire Southern Wasteland. The black fog is a representative of holiness in the Southern Wasteland. The master of the black fog naturally cannot be easily erased by time.

The space crack opened silently, and the figures of Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou quietly appeared in the depths of the Southern Wilderness.

This area is so vast that Mu Zhian could vaguely see the black fog in the distance.

In the air, an ancient temple was quietly suspended. There was a statue on each side of the temple, and a woman in a black gauze dress was carved on it. The formation quietly blessed the temple, making it faintly emit a sacred halo.

This is the temple of the Southern Wilderness, and it is also the most sacred place in the hearts of the Southern Wilderness cultivators. In the entire Southern Wilderness, this temple is the most dazzling.

In front of the high platform of the temple, there stood a man in a black robe who looked extraordinary.

He was Huang Weifeng. Not long ago, after going through untold hardships, he brought Xue Yi to the Southern Wilderness together. He entered the Southern Wilderness Temple with this master and successfully let her get warm and nurtured in the temple. Therefore, he was warmly treated by the elders in the Southern Wilderness Temple and regarded as a guest.

Not far behind Huang Weifeng, there stood a stunningly beautiful woman.

She had a charming face, graceful and elegant, with an ethereal temperament.

Her soft light golden hair was loose, her manners were dignified, and her beautiful eyes were tender and tender. She looked down from the high platform, as if she was pitying the gods in the world, with a lofty beauty and unparalleled grace.

The fourth pillar god of the Southern Wasteland, the God of Space, Xue Yi!

Even the veil covering her face at this moment was a special magic weapon, which not only covered her stunningly beautiful face, but also completely restrained her aura. At first glance, people might think she was just an ordinary person.

Just when Mu Zhian and others appeared in the Southern Wasteland, Xue Yi immediately noticed the few people who descended on the land of the Southern Wasteland.

"Mu Zhian... he really came to the Southern Wasteland." Xue Yi whispered to herself.

"What, Mu Zhian also came to the Southern Wasteland?!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Weifeng immediately looked down from the platform of the aerial temple.

"He is really brave. He knows that Nanhuang is not friendly to him and Dongzhou, but he dares to step into Nanhuang's territory with such fanfare..." Huang Weifeng's eyes flickered, and he was a little excited about Mu Zhian's arrival.

Nanhuang is not like Dongzhou. After all, this is Xue Yi's territory. He has been brooding over the last time he lost to Mu Zhian. Now that he sees such a good opportunity, he naturally has some fighting spirit in his heart and wants to compete with Mu Zhian again.

However, the next moment, Xue Yi's clear and pleasant voice, like a splash of cold water, directly extinguished the fire in Huang Weifeng's heart.

"Mu Zhian has two Yuhua Realm behind him, and he is backed by Linglong and others. He is well taken care of. Do you think that even if he wants to come alone, the other great powers will agree?"

These words directly made Huang Weifeng's face look a little ugly: "It means... Mu Zhian is accompanied by a powerful person? What on earth is he here for?"

Xue Yi smiled softly: "According to what Regina said before, she has a close relationship with Mu Zhian. Maybe... this time he realized that Regina was in trouble, so he came to save her specially."

Huang Weifeng nodded silently and quickly hesitated: "If we go by what Master just said, wouldn't Mu Zhian be followed by the Qing Emperor or the Sword Emperor? If they notice your presence..."

"This is Southern Wilderness, not Dongzhou. Besides, I am different from those old monsters in Southern Wilderness."

Xue Yi's tone was gentle and calm, but it revealed strong confidence.

This time she got the backup she had left in the past in the Southern Wilderness Temple, and temporarily recovered a few percent of her spiritual energy. With the blessing of the formation in the temple, she could temporarily block the rules of heaven and earth. Even if the Qing Emperor is here, she can temporarily A battle.

The God of the Sky and others did not know at all that the temple left by the Lord of Black Mist contained a special formation, which was similar to the formations in Liangyi Sect, Demon Realm and other places. Being in the temple, one could not obey the rules of heaven and earth. influence.

And she is the only one who knows the secrets of the temple.

"Besides, I don't intend to be an enemy of Qing Emperor and others." Xue Yi continued to say quietly with a gentle voice.

"But Mu Zhian has a close relationship with Regina. If he knew that Regina was being secluded by you, he would probably find a way to save her...?" Huang Weifeng tentatively asked.

Hearing this, Xue Yi stared into the distance with playful eyes: "It's true that he has a close relationship with Regina, but as long as I also have a close relationship with him...who do you think he will help when the time comes?"

Huang Weifeng was stunned and said hurriedly: "Master, you must not do this! In your capacity, you bend your knees to please Mu Zhian. If word spreads, the monks in the southern wilderness will not know how to discuss you!"

There is constant friction between Dongzhou and Nanhuang, and the monks under Nanhuang know very little about this matter, but they also know that the three pillar gods of Nanhuang all died at the hands of Dongzhou monks.

Once the monks in Southern Wilderness know that their 'god' actually took the initiative to make friends with a young monk from Dongzhou, I am afraid that the first monk in Southern Wilderness will not be able to accept it.

“Who told you I’d get down on my knees to please?”

Xue Yi maintained a friendly smile, but there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

"I have my own plan for this matter. You have had a conflict with Mu Zhian. If you can't control your emotions, just go to the inner hall to meditate and practice. They will... I will handle it myself."

When Huang Weifeng heard this, he was still a little suspicious, but then he thought about it, with an existence like Master, there was no need to lie to him, right?

After all, she is the most powerful god in the Southern Wilderness. Although her beauty is unparalleled, no matter what, as long as she doesn't want to, even that Mu Zhian will dare to do anything to her?

Do you really think that everyone will like a little monk like Mu Zhian?

"I understand, then I will go back to the inner hall to meditate and practice, and I will leave the rest to Master."

Huang Weifeng nodded slightly and raised his head to look at this beauty who was wearing a pure dress and emitting a soft golden light. There was a flash of obsession in his eyes.

Compared with the beautiful master in front of him, the female cultivators he met when he traveled to Dongzhou in the past were far behind in terms of beauty, realm, and even mentality.

It's impossible to say that he didn't have any ideas, otherwise he wouldn't have taken Xue Yi all the way to the Southern Wilderness.

On the one hand, he did this to restore Xue Yi's original strength so that he could stand up for himself and defeat Mu Zhian... but on the other hand, it was out of selfish motives.

Xue Yi watched quietly as the boy turned and left.

She always had a friendly smile on her face, but for a moment, a coldness without any warmth flashed through her tender and beautiful eyes.

She turned around and walked along the corridor of the main hall towards a church with several formations.

At the end of the church is a statue of a woman.

Under the statue, a blond beauty dressed in Nanhuang costumes, with a large area of ​​skin exposed to the air, was kneeling and sitting on the edge. Her body was quietly bound by a silk-like string, which ran along her thighs from the bottom up. Up, bound together with her hands.

"The Soul-Sealing Lock. Once a monk who has returned to the void is bound by this lock, even a little bit of spiritual energy will be absorbed by the Soul-Sealing Lock. However, I really didn't expect that your own physique is so weak. After losing your spiritual energy, you can't even Ordinary people can’t compare.”

Xue Yi stepped on sexy high-heeled sandals and wore a white skirt with the skirt trailing to the ground. She walked elegantly in front of Regina, slowly squatted down and looked into her eyes.

"Actually, you are the back-up I left behind. If you are willing to swear to be used by me, after I become one with you in the future, I will also leave you a trace of spiritual consciousness. What do you think?"

Regina slowly raised her head, her lips were slightly pale, and her face showed a sneer: "The majestic god of space, would you be willing to share the same body with a 'junior' like me? What's more, after leaving a ray of spiritual consciousness, everything will be at your command. , what’s the difference between it and the living dead?”

After she returned to the Southern Wilderness, she had researched things about the God of Space, and found many unknown secrets in some sealed ancient books.

For example, Xue Yi created her purely for the convenience of swallowing her in the future. She was said to be able to leave a ray of spiritual consciousness, but that ray of spiritual consciousness could only stay in Xue Yi's furnace and would never see the light of day again. , what’s the point of that?

"You are too stubborn. If it weren't for the fact that you are the Saint of the Southern Wilds and several Southern Wilds elders have pleaded for you, do you think I need to chat with you so much?" Xue Yi said with a smile.

"Isn't it because your strength has not recovered by 20% or 30%, and your mental strength is insufficient, and you are worried that occupying my body and consciousness will be counterattacked by me?" Regina laughed sarcastically.

"Now that I have fallen into your hands, there is naturally nothing to say... But don't think of asking me to compromise with you directly and let you devour this body."

If it weren't for the man named 'Huang Weifeng' who took Xue Yi into the Southern Wilds this time, the entire Southern Wilds should have been under her control now.

At this moment, I think it would be a different scene.

Xue Yi stared at Regina quietly, with a strange luster in her beautiful eyes, and whispered: "You don't think that the little lover you met when you went to Liangyi Sect before will come to save you?"

Regina's coldness finally changed, but her tone remained calm: "Why do you say that?"

"I heard a lot about you and Mu Zhian from the little monk named Ye Yu before. With the power behind Mu Zhian now, if he is really determined to save you, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble for me."

Xue Yi smiled: "It's better to say that this trouble The trouble has come to the door now. "

Regina subconsciously looked at the God of Space and said in disbelief: "He has come...?"

"Mu Zhian is now outside the temple of Nanhuang. I guess he will come to visit soon."

The God of Space showed a cold but extremely charming smile: "You might as well guess, after I meet him, will he choose you, the genius of Nanhuang, or me in the end?"

...

The God of Space, as the name suggests, is the god who controls space and has the power closest to the 'Mistress of the Black Mist'.

In the past, most of the time, the most talked about by the monks of Nanhuang was the God of Space who rarely appeared but had the highest prestige.

The reason for this was not because of 'power', but because Xue Yi understood people's hearts too well and played with people's hearts.

When Mu Zhian first met her, she had a kind and charming smile on her face, and her every move was elegant. Her gentle eyes that pitied the world made people want to throw themselves into her arms and accept the 'purification' impulse.

However, Mu Zhian had seen similar eyes on Yao Meng before, and clearly knew the other side of the fairy under her "holy" appearance, so he was on guard against Xue Yi from the beginning.

"Someone in the temple just now locked you with spiritual consciousness. If you step into the temple later, you have to be careful." Yao Meng's voice came from the bottom of Mu Zhian's heart, reminding him softly.

"Sister Qingdi, do you know the identity of the person who locked me?" Mu Zhian asked.

"It should be a great man in the Hedao realm." Yao Meng said lightly.

"Xue Yi..." Mu Zhian whispered to himself.

So it seems that Regina should be imprisoned...

Regina looks sick, but her mental strength is the strongest among the peers that Mu Zhian has seen. Xue Yi is seriously injured and only has a trace of spiritual consciousness left. If she rashly devours Regina's body, she may be devoured by Regina.

Therefore, Mu Zhian does not think that Regina has died now.

Unless she is in a desperate situation, Xue Yi will not take the risk to devour Regina directly.

Moreover, the Southern Wilds have never experienced the calamity of reshaping the body, which is enough to show that Xue Yi has not recovered yet.

"It seems that this trip to the Southern Wilds is not in vain. If it takes a little longer, when Xue Yi's spiritual consciousness recovers a little, I am afraid she will attack Regina."

While Mu Zhian was thinking, a woman dressed in exotic styles in the temple was flying from a distance on a sword. He took the opportunity to look up.

"It should be Xue Yi who sent someone to pick us up." Wei Mengrou whispered.

"First, unlock the shielding spell in the Tiansheng furnace, so that it will be more convenient for me to protect you." Yao Meng's voice sounded in Mu Zhian's heart.

Now it is impossible to observe the situation outside in the Tiansheng furnace, unless Mu Zhian takes the initiative to unlock the "shield" of the Tiansheng furnace, or the people in the Tiansheng furnace forcefully peek.

And now Yao Meng has been forcibly observing the situation outside, but this is more troublesome after all.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and removed the shielding spell of Tiansheng furnace.

Not far away, the wheat-colored Nanhuang woman Xiuzhen gently jumped down from the flying sword, raised her head and gazed at them, and said softly:

"Mr. Mu, Miss Wei, Lady Xue Yi is waiting for you two in the temple."

Mu Zhian raised his hand and bowed, smiling, "Thank you for leading the way, Miss."

There must be a powerful person following him on this trip, and Xue Yi must know about it.

But even so, the other party still sent someone to greet him.

He also wanted to know what Xue Yi was up to.
