"Sigh~~~"

Meng Qi took a deep breath. After the Demon Queen appeared, she did not target him, but instead focused on Shang Yi and Lin Xiao.

Obviously, in the Queen of Demon's heart, Lin Xiao's strength is equal to Shang Yi's.

Although he had already known from Shang Yi that Lin Xiao was extraordinary, he thought that he was only slightly stronger than Changsun Jing. He did not expect that he had actually surpassed himself.

Meng Qi is not conceited. He has now mastered the sixth level of the Golden Bell Cover and opened four orifices. His strength has made him rank among the top in the human world and he is also among the top young people in the real world. However, he did not expect to be surpassed by a peer in the reincarnation world.

This had never happened in any of the reincarnation worlds Meng Qi had experienced before. Every time they descended into a reincarnation world, their strength was not at the top, but was definitely comparable to that of the older generation of strong men. Even if they were not as strong as the Demon Queen, they were not far behind. This made them cautious in the reincarnation world, but they also had a natural sense of superiority.

Now his sense of superiority was crushed by Lin Xiao, a native.

Ruan Yushu had the same thought in his mind.

The night wind blew, chilly and biting, and the Demon Queen slowly walked forward, like the center of the surrounding world! This put more pressure on Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu, so that they could not care about being shocked.

However, as Lin Xiao took another step forward, the pressure brought by the Demon Queen suddenly disappeared, as if the biting cold wind suddenly turned into a spring breeze.

"The Demon Queen is indeed very powerful. It seems that I still need to make further progress!"

Lin Xiao said calmly and took another step forward. Suddenly, the world that was originally influenced by the Queen of Demons had become centered on Lin Xiao. The power of heaven and earth that fell on Lin Xiao not only did not affect everyone, but instead made everyone's true energy improve under the baptism of the power of heaven and earth.

“Enlightenment!?”

The Demon Queen was horrified. She had not expected that the young man in front of her could enter the realm of enlightenment in one step, and his aura was just like her father's.

"Outdoor Scene!?" ×2
Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu were also shocked. They didn't expect that Lin Xiao could reach the realm of external scenery in one step. Perhaps because the world was different, he didn't suffer the thunder tribulation for reaching the realm of external scenery, but he did gain the power of external scenery.

At the same time, he realized in his heart that it was no wonder that Shang Yi, who already had the ability to fight in the external scene, would enter this reincarnation world. It seemed that this world did have the soil for the birth of the external scene, but the Demon Lord had passed away many years ago.

"Draw the ground as a prison!"

Lin Xiaoyan, who had ascended to a higher realm, spoke with magic. After he opened his mouth, a stream of righteous energy formed a circle that fell on the ground and circled the Demon Queen. Although she was not hurt, the Demon Queen was suppressed by the righteous energy and it was difficult for her to escape for a while.

Yin Qi Tianluo!

The Demon Queen naturally didn't want to be controlled by Lin Xiao, so she used Tianluo Gong to fight against Haoran Zhengqi and wanted to break away from it.

However, a gap of one realm is still a gap of one realm, not to mention that Lin Xiao's words were very mysterious and they attracted the righteous energy of heaven and earth, making it impossible for her to break free.

"Scholar, what is your method?"

The Demon Queen said with an unpleasant look.

Lin Xiao said calmly:
"This is naturally the magical power of Confucianism and Taoism that I have realized. My words are as sharp as the sword, and my words are as accurate as the law!"

Then he asked again:
"I wonder what the Demon Queen wants to see us about tonight?"

The Demon Queen said:
"I want to cooperate with you. Do you want to explore the palace and find out the real situation of the old man?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said:

"It seems that we have the same idea. We came out tonight to explore the palace! Now that the Demon Queen has taken action, I believe we can lure the Right Prime Minister away!"

"I don't have any masters like you under my command, nor do I have anyone who is good at stealth."

The Demon Queen said calmly.

Lin Xiao looked at Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu, and when he saw them nodded, he waved his hand to dissipate the righteous energy and released the Demon Queen.

Meng Qi looked at Lin Xiao with shining eyes. This was the style of painting he wanted. Although he was not a swordsman like a chivalrous hero, he also yearned for such an elegant and powerful scholar!
Ruan Yushu laughed and said:

"Don't look at it, I'm drooling, Thunder Blade Mad Monk!"

After spending a few days with Meng Qi, how could I not see what kind of person Meng Qi is essentially? Naturally, I knew that he didn't like his nickname, and he even yearned for the style of a swordsman or a scholar!

"Ah~~~"

Meng Qi quickly raised his arm and wiped his mouth. He soon realized that he was not drooling at all. It was the little girl Ruan Yushu who was teasing him!

"Whoo~~~"

Meng Qi looked at Shang Yi beside Ruan Yushu, smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and thought to himself:

"I can't beat him, I can't beat him, I'll just endure it, I'll endure it!"

However, the Demon Queen took a deep look at Meng Qi, her expression a little dazed, with a hint of nostalgia flashing across her face!
Although his face looked different, the Demon Queen always felt that there was something familiar about Meng Qi.

Then she shook her head, put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, and looked at Shang Yi and Lin Xiao with a vigilant expression.

She originally thought that even if her strength was not as good as others, it would not be too far behind, so she wanted to cooperate with Shang Yi and others to break into the palace, but she did not expect that there was such a big gap between her strength and that of Shang Yi and others.

In this way, there will be no bargaining chips for equal transactions!
Shang Yi looked at the Demon Queen and Meng Qi, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"Since the Demon Queen is willing to cooperate, we just need someone to take us into the palace! I believe the Demon Queen has supported the Third Prince for many years, so there must be someone in the palace!

Besides, we are not suitable to fight with the Right Prime Minister, so we will have to trouble the Demon Queen for this matter!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across the Demon Queen's eyes, and she said:

"As expected of a righteous man, he really keeps himself clean!"

Lin Xiao said:
"As a woman, the Demon Queen must be tired of the intrigues in the Demon Cult for many years. I want to build an academy in the capital in the future. Then the Demon Queen can leave the Demon Cult and start a new life!"

The Demon Queen said with a cold expression:

"With my strength, I can definitely unify the Demon Sect. Why would I need to join the academy?!"

Lin Xiao shook his head:

“Saints teach sentient beings, and I also want to learn from them and teach them!
Moreover, after the passing of the Demon Lord, the Demon Cult will no longer be as powerful as it once was. Where can the Demon Queen go?"

The Demon Queen looked at Lin Xiao deeply and said:

"You are so conceited that you actually want to imitate the saints and teach people!"

Lin Xiao said calmly:
"You'll understand later!"

He didn't say much to the Demon Queen. After all, Meng Qi was here, and Ananda might also be paying attention to this place.

The Demon Lord is the one who was enlightened by Ananda, so the Demon Queen can be considered as Ananda's daughter. To put it another way, when Meng Qi defeats Ananda and completely replaces Ananda in the future, won't the Demon Queen also be Meng Qi's daughter?

If it weren't for this cause and effect, Lin Xiao wouldn't have been polite to the Demon Queen, nor would he have thought of training a Demon Sect leader like Master Yu Lian.

In a courtyard facing the street, the Demon Queen, Shang Yi and three others pushed open the door of the wing room.

"Lord."

The people in the house quickly stood up, their expressions of awe and respect almost to the point of piety.

As soon as he saw him, Meng Qi understood the Demon Queen's plan of infiltration, because he was a middle-aged eunuch, and judging from his clothing, he should be a eunuch of a high rank. It seemed that he was a secret chess piece that the Demon Sect had arranged many years ago, and it finally came in handy today.

The imperial city is indeed impregnable, but who can control the hearts of the people? Meng Qi suddenly felt this way.

The Demon Queen nodded modestly: "This matter is dangerous, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

If this kind of thing were to be discovered, the Demon Queen, Meng Qi and others would be able to escape by relying on their martial arts, but this eunuch would have no chance of survival!

The middle-aged eunuch said excitedly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the revival of the Holy Sect, no matter what it takes!"

"Okay, very good. Now that this matter is over, you will return to the sect to take on important responsibilities." The Demon Queen is not a leader who has learned martial arts to the point of being stupid. Naturally, she knows how to give encouragement and win people's hearts.

She turned to look at Meng Qi and the others and introduced them: "Yu Tongen, the eunuch in charge of purchasing."

Ordinary eunuchs are usually called inner servants or internal officials, and those who can be called "eunuch" are at least the heads of certain affairs in the imperial palace. This Yu Tongen is obviously the person in charge of purchasing things outside the palace. To be able to sit in this lucrative position, his relationship with the eunuchs in the palace must be good, so Meng Qi felt relieved when he heard this.

After nodding and greeting each other, the Demon Queen said concisely: "After entering the palace, lock the palace gates. I will go directly to the Qinzheng Hall to raid Wang Derang and tie him up. You sneak into the Taiji Hall to confirm the old man's condition."

The Qinzheng Hall was where the emperor handled daily affairs, and next to it was the Zhengshi Hall where the emperor was on duty. When the right prime minister Wang Derang stayed overnight in the palace, he usually stayed here. It was very close to the Taiji Hall, which served as the emperor's bedroom. With the right prime minister's strength, guarding here was equivalent to guarding the Taiji Hall to prevent anyone from assassinating the emperor or tampering with his will. As an outsider, it was not in accordance with etiquette to stay directly in the emperor's bedroom, and Wang Derang was a great Confucian scholar who respected ancient customs and restored rituals.

"no problem!"

Lin Xiao responded with a smile.

Then Yu Tongen led a few people through a secret passage and arrived at the warehouse in the next yard. There were pigs, cattle, sheep, fruits, vegetables and other items in the warehouse, which filled nine carts in total.

"The pig and cow stomachs have been hollowed out. You can hide inside. Remember to breathe gently." Yu Tongen warned. Meng Qi frowned slightly: "With one more person, the traces and sounds of the wheels pressing on the ground are different."

There will obviously be a difference in weight, and the guards guarding the palace gate are all skilled guards, so it is impossible for them not to notice this.

"Only the outer layer of the dozen bags of flour at the bottom is real. Inside are soft things like paper scraps and silk. It's just enough for one person."

Yu Tongen did not neglect this matter.

Lin Xiao spread out his palms, which were just a few leaves he had picked casually when he came here, and circulated his Qi and said:

"A blinding leaf!"

Three leaves fell on the forehead of the Demon Queen, Meng Qi, and Ruan Yushu.

"Ah, the Lord is gone!"

Yu Tongen screamed.

"Why are you panicking? I'm right in front of you!"

The Demon Queen's cold snort made Yu Tongen feel relieved!
Meng Qi looked left and right, and felt as if there was a strange power spreading all around him, making him blend in with the surrounding environment, and his figure and aura were completely hidden.

Ruan Yushu also exclaimed:

"What a Confucian and Taoist magic! Mr. Lin has walked his own path and is no less than his predecessors!"

Lin Xiao bowed slightly and said:

"No, no, Miss Ruan, you are too kind!"

Then he continued:
"With this magical power of a leaf blocking your view, you only need to sit quietly in the carriage. You don't need to worry about making any noise, and you don't need to hide in the cow's belly!"

Meng Qi exclaimed:
"Mr. Lin is really thoughtful!"

Ruan Yushu asked:

"What about you two?"

They were talking about Shang Yi and Lin Xiao.

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"I have the six supernatural powers of Buddhism. Even if I am outside the palace, I can always keep an eye on you and appear beside you!"

Lin Xiao also said confidently:
"Although I have just entered the realm of enlightenment, I have also comprehended a magical power that uses the energy of heaven and earth to travel through space - the power of distancelessness. I can come and go freely regardless of distance, so I don't have to follow you in."

"Oh, that's it!"

Meng Qi suddenly reacted and said:

"Since you can go in anytime, what do you need us for?"

Lin Xiao said with a serious look:

"I am an honest scholar who will open an academy in the capital in the future. How could I do something taboo like breaking into the palace?
If this really happens, no matter who the new emperor is, he will be very uneasy while I am in the capital!"

The Demon Queen said sarcastically:
"It's really uncomfortable to be at your level and still be bound by worldly rules!"

Lin Xiao was not annoyed, and said calmly:
"Being strong does not mean you have to be superior. If that were the case, it would be difficult to reach the current level, let alone achieve enlightenment through Confucianism!"

Shang Yi said:

“Okay, stop arguing and go to the palace right away!

Xiao Meng, Yu Shu, we will just support you. With your strength, it won't be dangerous to break into the palace. Although we already know what happened inside, we still need someone to spread the news!"

Meng Qi understood immediately after hearing this, Shang Yi wanted them to participate more in the mission so that they could get more rewards. At the same time, he wanted to expose the fact that the Crown Prince had murdered the king and the Left Prime Minister had poisoned the king, so that the Right Prime Minister would no longer support the Crown Prince!

Only in this way will the Fourth Prince have a chance!

The Demon Queen rolled her eyes and said:

"Are you so open-minded about me?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said:

"There was a legend in the past that the mage who was the reincarnation of the golden cicada had a golden body of merit, and eating a piece of its meat could make people immortal!
During my practice, I developed an insight into a technique called the Twenty-Three Years Cicada. Although it takes twenty-three years to master, it can transform a person completely and return to youth!
If you cooperate with us today, I will give you this skill, and you can start a new life by joining my academy. I will protect you for 23 years!"

Meng Qi's eyes widened when he heard this:
"The reincarnated mage of the Golden Cicada, isn't this Tang Sanzang from Journey to the West? Could it be that there is also the legend of Journey to the West in this reincarnation world?"

He quickly came back to his senses, while Ruan Yushu looked at Lin Xiao and whispered to Shang Yi and Meng Qi:

"What a deep calculation! If the technique is real, then we can win over a strong man for our academy, and have him protect us for 23 years. If we can't really teach him to be our own after all these years, then he won't be able to reach the state of enlightenment!"

"Yeah, it's true..."

Meng Qi suddenly saw Lin Xiao's meaningful look and immediately stopped his wild thoughts.

The Demon Queen looked at Lin Xiao deeply and said:
"Is there really such a technique?"

Lin Xiao said calmly:
"What good would lying to you do for me!?"

Then he transmitted the secret message to the Demon Queen and told her about a technique.

With the Demon Queen's knowledge, she can naturally see that this skill is more mysterious and profound than the Tianluo skill, and it is really feasible. It can not only prolong life and transform the body shape, but also improve potential and talent with one's own skills during the transformation. It is a first-class peerless magic skill!
"Okay! I hope you won't regret it!"

Lin Xiao said calmly:
"A gentleman treats you with sincerity, how could he lie to you?"

The Demon Queen looked at Lin Xiao deeply and finally compromised. In the face of absolute strength, she actually had no more choices.

Then she looked at Meng Qi again, and felt a little expectant.

Since rejuvenation exists, what about reincarnation?

Of course, the Demon Queen was able to connect the familiarity of Meng Qi to her father, the Demon Lord, and it was Shang Yi’s help behind the scenes that made the Demon Queen more perceptive.

He was looking forward to the future when Meng Qi became a father! He wondered if Gu Xiaosang would make Meng Qi, the Yuanshi Tianzun, kneel on the washboard! ?

"Ah sneeze~~~"

Meng Qi, who was hiding safely in the carriage heading towards the imperial city, sneezed and wondered in his heart who was talking about (cursing) him.

Soon, under Yu Tong'en's arrangement, Meng Qi, Ruan Yushu and the Demon Queen entered the palace and followed Yu Tong'en quietly into the imperial kitchen.

The three of them hid on the beam, and the aroma of cakes wafted into their nostrils.

Ruan Yushu looked intently at the steamer and the pastries that did not need to be kept warm, muttering to himself:

"Pea yellow, lotus seed cake, water chestnut cake, sesame roll, red bean paste roll, jade bean cake, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut powder cake..."

"Eat, I'll treat you."

A familiar voice sounded, and Shang Yi had appeared beside Ruan Yushu through the use of his divine feet across space without him noticing.

"Really?" Ruan Yushu turned his head and looked at him. (End of this chapter)
