Starting from the daily settlement, there will be a left-behind fairy king.

"Lin Zhuo and I are old friends, and we are both one of the four great generals of the Zhenling Army. Is it strange to volunteer? Gu Siming, if you and I can't be united at this moment, you don't have to leave. Otherwise, when I have to deal with the undercurrent, I still have to worry about whether there will be a knife stabbing me in the back."

"You don't have to be like this, my friend. I know your thoughts very well. Besides, both the north and the south need to deal with the invasion of the Demon Sect, so how can they spare anyone to help you? I just want to know the answer to why a fellow Taoist would take the initiative to volunteer. As long as you speak the truth, I will definitely help you."

The tone of the old man on the other end of the sound stone was filled with a sense of calmness and confidence.

Who is this monk named Gu?
It was Gu Qinghe, one of the four spiritual masters in the Domain Lord's Mansion, who, like Nangong Huan, was a late Jindan cultivator.

Nangong Huan said coldly: "Daoyou, everyone has their own secrets. You are so deep in your research, but have you ever thought about the time when you will need help from others? Are you, Gu Qinghe, so sure that you can rely on yourself in this life?"

"Of course there can be secrets. If it were any other day, even if fellow Daoist had entered the realm of Golden Core Perfection today, I would not have asked any more questions. But the one who has come now is An Chaosheng, the leader of the Dark Altar lineage. In his hands are the lives of more than one or two late-stage Golden Core cultivators. It is somewhat a bit embarrassing for fellow Daoist to dare to face him head-on with his cultivation level..." Gu Qinghe did not continue.

It is enough for him to know the meaning of the four words "overestimating one's own abilities" clearly, and he believes that Nangong Huan also knows what he wants to say.

The words fall.

Nangong Huan fell into a long silence.

Gu Qinghe did not continue to speak, but put the sound transmission stone aside and continued to copy his ancient books, quietly waiting for Nangong Huan to speak. After a while, a smile gradually appeared on Gu Qinghe's lips, because Nangong Huan's reminder finally sounded slowly in the sound transmission stone.

"Gu Siming, some things need to be said in person."

Gu Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes."

"But you have to hurry as fast as possible. The current situation in the Tianyin Mountains is not very good for the Zhenling Army."

"That's natural."

After putting down the sound stone, Gu Qinghe stopped writing immediately.

After saying a few words, he turned into a stunning wild swan and left the blessed land, heading straight for the meeting place that Nangong Huan mentioned.

……

Half a day later.

A kind old monk with a kind face and a big smile met Nangong Huan in a mountain stream 20,000 miles away from the Tianyin Mountains. The old monk was wearing a black and white gown, and his every move was quite like that of a scholar.

This person is Gu Qinghe, one of the four gods of destiny in the Spiritual Department.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Gu Qinghe raised his hand and saluted, stroking his beard and smiling, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Nangong Huan spoke in a calm tone, "Daoyou must first swear a vow to the inner demon and a gag spell, and not reveal a single word."

"can."

Gu Qinghe nodded, stroked his beard and smiled again, then made a vow to his inner demons and cast a silencing spell, which was quite effective.

But after the Silencing Spell was cast, Gu Qinghe narrowed his eyes on Nangong Huan, "Daoyou, it's your turn now. In order to prove that what you said is true, Daoyou must also swear a demon oath to be fair."

"you……"

Nangong Huan was a little angry, but when he saw Gu Qinghe stroking his beard with a half-smile on his face, he had to agree unhappily. Without hesitation, Nangong Huan immediately made a demon oath to prove that every word he said was true.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghe smiled again, "I'm really sorry, Fellow Daoist Nangong, I'm also afraid of being deceived. Now no one can tell how many days the West Mountain Floating Space Region can remain peaceful, so I have to be more cautious."

"It's okay." Nangong Huan forced a smile, exhaled heavily, and suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

Then, Nangong Huan said, "Time waits for no one. There are many dangers in the Tianyin Mountains. It is better for you and I to leave as soon as possible. I would like to ask for your help on this trip. The ultimate goal is not only to eliminate the Dark Altar lineage so that we will not be attacked from all sides, but also for the things in Dark Tide's hands."

"What?"

Gu Qinghe narrowed his eyes.

Nangong Huan continued: "True Spirit Demon Tree species."

"True Spirit Demon Tree Species!" Gu Qinghe suppressed his smile, "The Outer Dao Hidden Demon Sect actually has such an evil thing in its hands? In other words, the changes in the Tianyin Mountains were caused by An Chaosheng using the True Spirit Demon Tree?"

"Maybe. The Dark Altar lineage is extremely difficult to infiltrate. I have spent fifty years and have only obtained this much information. But according to the information I have obtained, the Tianyin Mountains are gradually being swallowed up by the Demon Realm, and it is most likely related to the True Spirit Demon Tree."

The words fall.

Gu Qinghe fell into silence, his eyes narrowed into a line, he stroked his beard thoughtfully, his brows becoming more and more solemn.

"If it really is the True Spirit Demon Tree, then wouldn't it be a waste of effort for you to come to me? The True Spirit Demon Tree is simply impossible for Jindan cultivators like us to deal with. Even if the domain master comes in person, he can only accept this result."

Nangong Huan nodded, "Do your best. You can't just watch the conspiracy of the Hidden Demon Sect succeed, right?"

"What about the True Spirit Demon Tree species?" Gu Qinghe asked.

"Gu Siming, don't you think you've asked too many questions?"

Nangong Huan was displeased again.

Gu Qinghe's solemn expression suddenly showed a little smile, and he asked: "Fellow Daoist Nangong, why do we have to hide things from each other? The True Spirit Demon Tree is the most evil thing in the Demonic Path. No matter whether it is the righteous path or the evil path, no one dares to touch it. Once touched, the soul will be corrupted by the True Spirit Demon Tree and there will be no way back. Fellow Daoist is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to fall into the Demonic Path, so..."

"There is no way I can fall into the evil path." Nangong Huan said with a firm look.

Gu Qinghe asked with a smile: "Then what is the use of this True Spirit Demon Tree seed for you, fellow Daoist? Come on, I will just return the things I have collected to you. Could it be that this thing can help you break through the realm?"

Nangong Huan's expression froze, and he could no longer suppress his anger. "Gu Siming, knowing too much is not a good thing for you."

"But if I don't know anything, hehe, then wouldn't I be a joke?" Gu Qinghe had an attitude of getting to the bottom of things, his eyes narrowed into slits again, but the pupils that were slightly revealed were full of sharpness.

Then, seeing that Nangong Huan did not speak, Gu Qinghe hurriedly added, "If you can simply say it, I will definitely stand by you, no matter now or in the future, and I will be unwavering."

"Gu Siming really has a good plan." Nangong Huan said unhappily.

Gu Qinghe stroked his beard and smiled, "It's for the great cause, not shameful. It's only natural to find another wise master."

“Since Gu Siming has said so much, I will not hide it.” Nangong Huan’s anger gradually faded, and he spoke slowly, causing Gu Qinghe beside him to almost prick up his ears to listen carefully, “The True Spirit Demon Tree is an ancient innate species, completely different from ordinary spiritual objects in heaven and earth, and even the Yuanying Zhenjun cannot destroy it.

It is said that after merging one's soul with it, one can be reborn, achieving the immortality of the True Spirit Tree and an immortal soul, with a lifespan much longer than the ten thousand-year lifespan of the Yuanying True Lord, and almost immortal.

However, in this case, the so-called immortality, which is close to immortality, is just a miserable existence in the world, and it will never be possible to obtain the Yuanying Dao Fruit. But if you can refine the ancient innate alien species such as the True Spirit Demon Tree, it will be different. Not to mention obtaining the Yuanying Dao Fruit, you can use it to break the shackles of the golden elixir that binds us for life.

Even if it is a lower-level golden elixir, there is still a chance for the golden elixir to be perfect..."

When Gu Qinghe heard this, his eyes became more and more brilliant, because he had been trapped in the late Jindan stage for more than two or three hundred years, and his cultivation had stopped progressing for more than a hundred years. If he didn't think of a way, he would die with regret like those ordinary Jindan.

"Does Brother Nangong really mean what he said?"

Because he was too shocked, even though he knew Nangong Huan had already made a vow to his inner demon, Gu Qinghe still subconsciously asked the question.

Nangong Huan nodded.

But he didn't go on to say anything more.

Instead, he changed the subject and said, "If you are willing to swear a vow to your inner demon and be of use to me in the future, I can teach you the method of refining it."

Gu Qinghe was startled for a moment, then he stroked his beard and smiled, "Of course... Could it be that Dark Tide has multiple species of True Spirit Demon Trees?"

Gu Qinghe said "definitely" but he showed no intention of making a vow to the devil. Instead, he continued to ask.

Nangong Huan didn't press him, but just said two words indifferently, "Let's hope so. That's our only chance."

"If there are extra ones, Fellow Daoist Nangong is willing to share one. If you have any problems in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water to help you."

Gu Qinghe still spoke beautifully.

Nangong Huan nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "It's a deal."

“But it will be difficult for you and me to deal with An Chaosheng, and it may be difficult to obtain the seeds of the True Spirit Demon Tree from An Chaosheng. The corpse ancestor of the Lu family was able to kill Long Teng Liyi, so his strength must be considerable. It is better to do more with him.” Gu Qinghe said what he was thinking without hesitation.

Nangong Huan looked at him and smiled knowingly.

"That's natural."

Gu Qinghe said hurriedly: "Then let's set off immediately. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be for us."

"please!"

Nangong Huan made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Qinghe immediately transformed into a stunning bird and headed for the Tianyin Mountains first, while Nangong Huan also hurriedly flew to catch up.

However, when Nangong Huan was flying, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips, but it disappeared in an instant.

……

Outside the Tianyin Mountains.

Half a day later, Dongquan Buhuagu returned to Tianyin Mountains under Wen Jiu's control. What came into view was a demonic barrier that covered the sky and the sun, covering the entire Tianyin Mountains tightly.

At this time, ordinary cultivators no longer dared to approach the Tianyin Mountains. Only some Jindan cultivators dared to come and find out what was going on.

Seeing that many Jindan cultivators could not break the demonic barrier even with their combined strength, Wen Jiu was not surprised at all. After all, even after Dongquan Buhuagu entered the third level and was on par with Jindan perfect cultivators, the good and bad luck did not change. For ordinary Jindan masters, facing this abnormal change, there is no possibility of survival.

After getting away from those Jindan cultivators, Wen Jiu controlled Dongquan Buhuagu to come a thousand miles away and tried to attack the magic barrier directly. However, the power that Jindan Buhuagu could bring to Jindan Yuanman could only open a ten-foot-wide hole in the magic barrier.

And when Dongquan Buhuagu entered it, the crack was completely restored in ten breaths. Then, Wen Jiu tried several other places, and without exception, the results were the same.

Wen Jiu looked into the depths of the Tianyin Mountains with Dongquan's unyielding gaze, "This barrier of demonic energy is so strong everywhere. If it weren't for the intervention of the domain master of the West Mountain Floating Domain, I'm afraid everyone would have been trapped to death."

Wen Jiu was not lamenting the possible outcome that the millions of cultivators might face, but he was somewhat surprised by the methods of the Dark Altar lineage.

Before, he had thought about letting Dongquan Buhuagu go and explore the way and find a place to settle down.

His original body continued to stay in the floating area of ​​Xishan.

It now seems that even if True Lord Wuhun did not come to kill us in recent years, he would not be able to stay in the Xishan Floating Sky Domain for long.

"After this matter is settled, I will go to the Lightless Evil God's Cave again and steal the True Spirit Tree. Then I can plan for Dongquan Buhuagu to leave the Xishan Floating Space." Putting aside his thoughts, Wen Jiu immediately went to the Hantan Mist Valley.

Less than half a day after arriving at the Cold Pond Mist Valley, Deng Lai and his group of Jindan hurried over. After entering the Cold Pond Mist Valley, they ran straight to the outside of the Cold Pond.

Wen Jiu did not let Deng Lai enter the cold pond. He just controlled Dongquan Buhuagu to ask through voice transmission. When he learned that the main array eye of the mountain array was in the fog valley, Wen Jiu was not surprised, nor was he dissatisfied.

The handler has short hands.

And it is true that the Tongtian Yinshi Seed given by Nangong Huan is of great use to Dongquan Buhuagulai.

of course.

Even if there is no Tongtian Yinshi seed.

This huge mountain formation still needs to be protected, because the more chaotic the fight between the Zhenling Army and the demon cultivators of the Dark Altar lineage, the more chances he will have to benefit.

Soon, the main eye of the mountain array opened with the full efforts of Deng Lai and his group of Jindan. In an instant, 50% of the Yin spiritual energy under the Cold Pond Mist Valley was swallowed up by the main eye and turned into the source of maintaining the eye.

After a few breaths, white light pillars rose up from the Tianyin Mountains one after another, forcibly tearing a hole in the demonic energy that covered the sky.

The demonic domain that was spreading within hundreds of miles around each light column was forcibly contained by the Yin spiritual energy raised by the light column. This scene instantly ignited hope in the eyes of the Zhenling Army who were suffering from the erosion of the demonic energy. Under the command of Jiadan Zhenren and Jindan Zhenren, millions of Zhenling Army began to retreat towards the light column.

The demons in the Tianyin Mountains were no exception, and they all ran towards the place where the light column rose from the ground.

However, many monsters still fell in large numbers in the spreading evil realm and turned into monsters.

At the same time, all the white light pillars had reached the bottom of the demonic energy dome. Although the dome could not be torn apart no matter how hard they collided, it didn't take long for a very special sky-cloudy mountain force to rise from the ground.

The mountain was originally invisible, but with the gathering of a large amount of Yin spiritual energy, the vast mountain began to condense into the shape of a giant beast hundreds of feet tall. The beast had four legs, no eyes or nose, and only a huge mouth on its face.

When this mouth suddenly opened, the mountain power and yin spiritual energy suddenly burst out and hit the dome.

The dome of demonic energy, which was originally unstoppable, was instantly filled with cracks. The crazy spread of the demonic realm in the entire Tianyin Mountains was also forcibly contained at this moment, and it was difficult to tell the strength in a short period of time.

however.

This balance lasted only an hour.

An hour later, the mountain was forcibly suppressed by the vast demonic energy. The giant four-legged beast was entangled by the demonic vines that emerged from the core area of ​​the Tianyin Mountains, and then forcibly dragged into the demonic realm and torn apart.

"It's bad. The mountain formation can't resist the evil spirits at all!" Deng Lai's face turned extremely ugly. (End of this chapter)
