So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Mu Zhian sat in front of the study room, looking at the snowy night outside, while Wei Mengrou stood quietly not far from him, keeping quiet.

The ground shook slightly from time to time, and the huge study room was only occupied by the master and the servant, which seemed particularly quiet.

"The first generation demon king chose this time a little bit delicately. Did he not know that the Ascension Conference was taking place outside, or did he have to fight to the death at this time?" Wei Mengrou spoke softly, breaking the silence.

Now is the Ascension Conference, all major forces have gathered here, and those great powers are also secretly watching the Ascension Conference.

It was crazy for the first generation demon king to take action at this time, unless he was sure that he could deal with more than three great powers of the Hedao at the same time.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "How could a demon king who could unify the demon world be a fool? Although it is not clear why he would make a move at this time, he was either sure or had no choice but to choose this time... I prefer the latter."

"But in this case, he can be said to have lost the whole game." Mu Zhian continued.

When he said this, his eyes could not help but look in the direction of Liangyi Peak, and his mind thought of the sister of the clan leader who was wearing a black dress and outlining her graceful and elegant curves.

Shang Yanfei, from the past to the present, has never made a move, and she has only planned everything behind the scenes.

Whenever Mu Zhian thought he had seen through her purpose, he would find that the other party's plan was linked together... including the current first generation demon king.

The more Mu Zhian thought about it, the more he felt that the sister of the clan leader was a bit deep. In fact, he thought it was stupid for Shang Yanfei to agree to the bet between the Western Regions and the Southern Wilderness at the beginning, because it stands to reason that no one is sure to win the Ascension Conference.

But after Lan Murian participated in the competition, Mu Zhian knew that he was basically a sure winner in this Ascension Conference.

And now it seems...

Behind this bet, there are more than just three imperial-level medicinal herbs involved.

"She brought other powerful people in the Hedao realm into this muddy water..." Mu Zhian whispered to himself.

Not only the few Hedao realms in Dongzhou, but most of the proud sons of heaven in Jiuzhou are in Liangyi Sect. Once a battle breaks out, the power of Hedao will inevitably affect those young proud sons of heaven. Whether it is the Western Region or the Southern Wilderness or even other forces, it is impossible for them to sit idly by and watch the geniuses on their side.

They don't need to take action to solve the first generation of demon emperors, but they must protect Liangyi Sect to avoid hurting their own people.

"This woman's deduction ability is a bit too terrifying. If I really stay with her in the future, I'm afraid it will be arranged clearly..." Mu Zhian sat on the chair and looked at the heavy snow outside the window at night, sighing from the bottom of his heart.

This time, for the three imperial-level medicinal herbs, all the people sent by various continents were their own peerless geniuses. It is impossible for the powerful beings in the Hedao realm to leave them alone. First, it would be disheartening. Second, the first generation of the Demon King is now a candle in the wind. Even if he burns his essence, he can only return to the Dao in a short time.

But one Hedao, it is impossible to fight more than two Hedao powerful beings.

Moreover, there are far more than two Hedao powerful beings in the Liangyi Sect now.

"But now, compared to this, I am more concerned about why the first generation of the Demon King chose to break the seal at this delicate time."

Mu Zhian stood up and stretched his waist, glanced at Wei Mengrou behind him, and smiled: "Go out and relax. If I guess correctly, there should be many disciples of the sect taking refuge outside now."

...

The Nine-Life Heavenly Phoenix was the ruler of the demon world in the past. Most cultivators may not know the Nine-Life Heavenly Phoenix, but if the title of the first generation of the Demon King is mentioned, most people know it.

However, probably no one would have thought that the former ruler of the demon world was suppressed by the Green Emperor under the Pilgrimage Hall of Liangyi Sect for a thousand years, and even wanted to break free from the seal of the Pure World Green Lotus and reappear in the world.

"Shang Yanfei, I will only give you half an hour to unlock the seal, or the entire Liangyi Sect will be buried with me!" The gloomy voice sounded under the Pilgrimage Hall, and the tone was full of hysterical madness, which also attracted many cultivators to discuss and guess the identity of the sealed object under the Pilgrimage Hall.

And the sound of this voice also alarmed the great powers in various parts of Jiuzhou.

In the South Wilderness, the Western Regions, Yuzhou and other places, several eyes quietly peeked at this scene in the dark.

In theory, no matter how chaotic Dongzhou is, it has nothing to do with them. It is better to say that if Dongzhou can consume internal energy because of this, it will be more beneficial than harmful to them.

But the geniuses in this Ascension Conference are still in Liangyi Sect. If they are left alone, it will also be a huge loss for other states.

After all, for the three imperial-level medicinal herbs, the people sent by Jiuzhou were all the chosen ones who were valued by the powerful people in the Hedao realm.

At this moment, countless eyes were staring at the direction of Liangyi Peak, waiting for the response of the sect master.

However, after nearly a quarter of an hour, there was still no response from the Liangyi Sect, as if it was indifferent.

At this time, a phoenix cry resounded in the pilgrimage hall, and the black and red phoenix soared into the sky. The whole sky seemed to be burned red, and the raging fire was like the anger of heaven, burning the whole earth to ashes.

At this moment, countless cultivators in the sect looked up at this scene, their eyes were full of shock and fear hidden in their eyes.

Some cultivators could not resist this pressure, and knelt on the ground uncontrollably, unable to resist the power of Hedao.

Even those beings who are known as the proud ones of heaven are trembling in their hearts at this moment. They are trying their best to resist this pressure. Their shoulders are like huge mountains, and it is completely difficult to straighten their backs.

The black phoenix slowly descended from the sky, and some people even knew that once the phoenix landed in the Liangyi Sect, the entire sect would probably be destroyed.

As soon as Mu Zhian stepped out of Tianhe Garden, he saw this shocking scene. His body trembled slightly and he almost fell to his knees.

The huge pressure came overwhelmingly like a sea wave, making Mu Zhian's legs weaken uncontrollably.

This is the monk's instinctive reaction, which is irresistible.

But Mu Zhian reacted very quickly and immediately hugged Wei Mengrou's snow-white jade legs. Then, under the condescending and disdainful gaze of the maid, he gritted his teeth and stood up with difficulty, raised his head and said:

"Sister Mengrou, you cannot kneel! No one can kneel to the first generation Demon Emperor!"

When he looked up, he saw Wei Mengrou looking at him as if nothing happened, with disdain in her bright and beautiful eyes. She couldn't help but asked in shock: "Aren't you affected?"

"I don't feel anything." Wei Mengrou stared at Mu Zhian suspiciously, "I would rather say that your reaction is a bit too strange."

At first she thought Mu Zhian was doing it on purpose, but now it seemed that he was indeed struggling to resist some invisible oppression.

"The Hedao Realm naturally suppresses other monks. The great Hedao Realm masters I got along with in the past all deliberately restrained their aura, but the first generation Demon Emperor was different. He really planned to destroy the Liangyi Sect." Mu Zhi An Lian's tone of voice was a little more difficult.

As for why Wei Mengrou was not affected... I guess it was her original witch bloodline that affected her.

Wei Mengrou looked up at the black phoenix in mid-air and said softly: "The sect leader still doesn't seem to be planning to take action."

"She has her own plans, we just need to watch this drama." Mu Zhian said.

For monks in the God Refining Realm, battles of this level are too rare to see. Even a few simple battles can add a lot of insights to subsequent practice.

…

As if the black phoenix symbolizing death slowly descended from the sky, deep in the south bank of the Aisi Sect, Regina walked out of the villa and looked up at this scene quietly, with a sickly expression as usual Generally, it seems not to be affected in any way.

The old man beside him covered himself with spiritual energy and stepped forward with difficulty, saying: "Miss, please leave the Liangyi Sect as soon as possible. This place will soon be razed to the ground."

"If I leave, you will be doomed." Regina turned her head and looked slightly, showing a coquettish smile.

"But if I were here, they would do anything to keep us."

Just as Regina expected, just when the black phoenix flames were about to shine on the entire Aye Yi Sect, someone deep in the southern wilderness finally couldn't help but open his eyes.

And at that moment, outside Liang Yi Sect, a black mist suddenly fell from mid-air, forcibly wrapping the fire in it.

Immediately afterwards, a gloomy voice slowly sounded in the Liangyi Sect: "Sect Leader Shang, this is a civil strife in the Liangyi Sect. Are you going too far by forcing me to take action?"

Obviously, the mighty Southern Wilderness who took action was quite angry. Concubine Shang Yan was forcing them to take action because Regina was still in the Liangyi Sect. No matter how talented the Saintess of Southern Wilderness was, she could not resist. The remaining power of the Hedao realm.

Ever since the news that Regina's physique could evolve again reached the ears of the great powers in the Southern Wilderness that day, the importance of the saint has been elevated to the top position.

Among the four pillar gods in the Southern Wilderness, one of them has never revealed his true form. That god can be said to be the real master of the Southern Wilderness, and Regina's physique is very close to that god. If she can really If she evolves, she will most likely surpass her ancestors and become the first person in the Southern Wilderness!

For this reason, nothing must happen to Regina, and Mu Zhian, who helped her complete her physical evolution, must also be alive.

"Amitabha."

Under the dark night, a loud bell-like sound of the Buddha's trumpet resounded in the sky above Liangyi Sect, and golden light shone. The Buddha in the middle clasped his hands together, raised his peaceful eyes, and stared in the direction of Liangyi Peak.

"Donor Shang, are you going too far by taking advantage of me this time?"

At this time, a faint voice came from not far away: "In order to prevent the Qing Emperor from joining the Tao, the Western Regions, Southern Wilderness and some continents have intervened. Everyone is using each other. Since they are being used in this way, they will be used." You should take this breath seriously.”

The Buddha looked calm and turned to look at a shadow that appeared behind him at an unknown moment.

The woman is wearing a long robe with a white skirt and gold thread. Her slender, jade-like legs are wrapped in black stockings. Below her knees are white high boots. Although it is just an illusory figure, it gives people unlimited reverie.

The powerful Hedao Realm expert in Yuzhou is also the empress who controls the lifeblood of the entire Yuzhou, Luo Tan.

"You are really open-minded, Luo Tan." The powerful man in the southern wasteland said sadly.

Previously, most people did not want the Qing Emperor to reunite. From that time until the Qing Emperor incident, there were more or less traces of several continents. Everyone knew it, but they just didn't speak out.

After all, no matter who joins the Tao, they are bound to be stopped.

Since they had done something secretly, there is nothing to say about being exploited now.

"Sect Master Shang, we can temporarily protect the Liangyi Sect, but you have to resolve the matter of the first demon emperor on your own." A powerful man in the southern wilderness spoke, and his eyes fell in the direction of Liangyi Peak.

"Okay." Concubine Shang Yan nodded slightly.

As soon as these words came out, even several powerful experts in the Hedao realm were aroused.

From the past to the present, they have never seen Concubine Shang Yan take action. If they can take this opportunity to see her, this trip will not be in vain.

Several powerful men quietly isolated the black phoenix released by the first-generation demon emperor from the sect. At the same time, they secretly observed the direction towards the temple, waiting for Concubine Shang Yan to appear.

A beautiful woman in a black dress was seen suspended in the mid-air of the pilgrimage hall. Her body was shrouded in a strange black fog, making it difficult to see her true body.

But the few people present are all in harmony, and it is not difficult to distinguish the other person's aura even if it is just a ray of spiritual consciousness.

After staring for a moment, an evil god in the southern wasteland suddenly frowned and said, "No...she is not Concubine Shang Yan."

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other. In the black mist, a girl in a black dress was staring into the depths of the pilgrimage hall. Although she deliberately hid her aura, Some of the powerful ones still inexplicably noticed that the aura on the opponent's body seemed a bit strange.

At this time, the woman in the black dress seemed to have noticed the gazes of several people. She turned her head slightly and looked over, with a charming and coquettish smile on her lips.

The queen of the demon world!

At this moment, this guess came into the minds of several people.

This woman in black dress is not Concubine Shang Yan, but the Queen of the Demon Realm!

Dongzhou actually reached some kind of agreement with the Queen of the Demon Realm, allowing her to set foot in the Liang Yi Sect!

Concubine Shang Yan is really courageous. This move is no different from driving away a wolf and devouring a tiger. If she doesn't do it right, she may end up playing with fire and burning herself.

Similar thoughts flashed through the minds of several powerful men.

The first-generation Demon Emperor has been sealed in the pilgrimage hall for so long, but in the end he fought tooth and nail tonight. It is obvious that he also sensed the aura of the Queen of the Demon Realm... Obviously, the current ruler of the Demon Realm may have some threats to the first-generation Demon Emperor. ability...

However... this Queen of the Demon Realm is obviously just a ray of spiritual consciousness. How to deal with the first-generation Demon Emperor who has burned his essence at this moment?

boom!

Outside the sect's formation, the black phoenix hit the formation crazily. Countless monks looked at this scene in shock. Some monks who were still struggling to support themselves even couldn't help but kneel down.

Even these monks are aware that this first-generation Demon King may be risking his life!

boom!

As another soul-shaking voice resounded through the sect, the hearts of countless monks were shrouded in haze.

At this moment, a ray of cyan light silently lit up in the pilgrimage hall.

The green light was filled with tranquility, and a green and white lotus bloomed silently.

Pure Green Lotus!

The eyes of several powerful officials were a little more dignified when they saw Fairy Yao Meng looking down at the ground with bare feet in the pilgrimage hall.

"Qing Emperor! You have really recovered. That kid from the God Refining Realm was indeed on your side! I should have eaten him alive!" A hysterical sound came from the depths of the Cathedral Temple. The roar was loud and loud.

But the eyes of several powerful men fell on Fairy Yao Meng, whose body was covered by the moonlight, at almost the same time, and the same thought flashed through their minds.

A monk in the realm of refining gods...?

Qing Emperor was rescued by a monk in the God Refining Realm, and even reshaped his immortal body...?

But how is this possible?

If the God Refining Realm can reshape the cauldron for the Hedao Realm, doesn't that mean that the other party's spiritual energy can even provide cultivation for Hedao?

And when these great powers were still skeptical, in front of the pilgrimage hall, Yao Meng's white jade feet stepped on the void, like a fairy from the nine heavens descending to the mortal world, with a faint silver glow on her ice-white skin, Looking down at the ground of the pilgrimage hall.

She raised her hand to suppress the power of the Pure World Green Lotus in the sky above the pilgrimage hall.

"It's useless. You can only suppress me, but you can't completely destroy me!" The first-generation Demon Emperor laughed.

This is his confidence, and this confidence comes from his true body.

The Nine-Life Heavenly Phoenix will improve his strength a little more every time he is reborn. Although he is now wiped out by the Purifying Green Lotus, as long as his spiritual consciousness is still there, he cannot truly die in these thousands of years. .

If he could be wiped out so easily, the Qing Emperor in the past would not have nearly died together with the first generation Demon Emperor.

Yao Meng looked down at the pilgrimage hall with a faint smile in his eyes: "Sealing your cauldron is my task. As for other things, it has nothing to do with me."

For some reason, after hearing these words, the first-generation Demon King felt a little bit bad in his heart.

At this moment, as if he noticed something, he suddenly looked up and saw that a woman in a black dress had appeared in the depths of the pilgrimage hall.

The pupils of the first-generation Demon Emperor shrank suddenly, "It's you...it's you! You are indeed here!"

The Queen of the Demon Realm smiled sweetly.

"Your time is over, old man."

She stretched out a delicate white palm from the black mist, and forcefully penetrated the heart of the first-generation Demon Emperor.

At this moment, a strong demonic aura filled the hall. The first-generation demon emperor was extremely furious and started fighting with the queen of the demon world in the depths of the hall.

And in the mid-air in the distance, the empress of Yuzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly: "The essence of the first demon emperor."

Essence represents the lifelong cultivation of a cultivator. According to legend, the Queen of the Demon Realm can absorb the essence of others for her own use. No matter whether the other party is returning to the void or the integration of the Tao, the essence of each cultivator can improve their cultivation a lot.

If the essence is enough, she can even break through the limit and ascend to the immortal.

Ordinary people cannot swallow the essence of others, but the Queen of the Demon Realm can.

The Nine-Life Sky Phoenix is ​​indelible, but the ability of the Queen of the Demon Realm completely kills the Nine-Life Sky Phoenix.

The Queen of Yuzhou stared at this scene, inadvertently glanced at the black-robed beauty who appeared behind them at some point, and smiled and said: "Master Shang is really generous. If I remember correctly, the Demon Realm and Dongzhou are generations of enemies. Let the Queen of the Demon Realm swallow the essence of the first generation of the Demon Emperor. Don't you worry that Dongzhou will be robbed in the future?"

There is also a gap between the integration of the Tao. Once the Queen of the Demon Realm swallows the essence of the integration of the Tao and completely refines it, the strength of the future Queen of the Demon Realm will soar to an unimaginable level.

By then, if the already powerful demon world has some ideas about Dongzhou, even the Liangyi Sect will probably be busy and exhausted.

The flames in the pilgrimage hall shot up into the sky. In that magnificent and shocking scene, a faint smile appeared on the beautiful face of Concubine Shang Yan.

"It doesn't matter."

"If the Shang Sect Master is really outstanding, then we will wait and see." The evil god in the Southern Wilderness smiled faintly.

The demon world and the Southern Wilderness are far apart. Even if the future demon queen's strength really improves again, it has nothing to do with the Southern Wilderness. Instead, the first to suffer is Dongzhou.

At this time, a ray of green light flashed, and several people looked over. When they saw Yao Meng stepping on the void, the Southern Wilderness Evil God was silent, and the Buddha in the Western Regions also remained silent.

The powerful people in Yuzhou and Yunzhou seemed to be old acquaintances of Yao Meng, and immediately greeted him.

Then, the Empress of Yuzhou looked at the monks on the ground. Even though the essence of the first generation of demon king was being refined, the black phoenix in the air did not disappear.

Under the pressure, most of the monks knelt on the ground uncontrollably, and only a few of them supported themselves and tried their best to resist the pressure.

"The Saint of the Southern Wasteland is said to be the most promising genius to become the fourth pillar god. Today, I see that she is really amazing." The Empress's eyes fell on the depths of a villa on the south bank. When she saw the Saint of the Southern Wasteland trying her best to resist the pressure of the first generation of demon king, she admired sincerely.

"Regina is the first genius of my Southern Wasteland, so she is naturally talented." The Southern Wasteland Evil God smiled faintly.

"Two geniuses came to the Western Region this time, one of them seemed to be eliminated in the martial arts assessment. I originally thought that his talent was average, but now it seems that this monk's talent is not bad?" Someone on the side said, his eyes fell on the monk Jingchen who was shining with Buddha's light and resisting the pressure.

Buddha clasped his hands together and said calmly: "Jingchen was led into the thunder tribulation by a small cultivator of the fourth level of soul refining, and was eliminated."

When they heard the fourth level of soul refining, several powerful people immediately lost interest.

After all, this way of using thunder tribulation to perish together with others was something they had never seen in Jiuzhou before. Although there were some surprises, there were only a few.

Several powerful people slowly swept their eyes over the cultivators. Someone saw the female cultivator who sacrificed the Pure World Blue Lotus in front of the Glazed Palace to resist the pressure, and suddenly said:

"Is that female cultivator the successor of the Green Emperor? Well... Although the Pure World Blue Lotus is not even one thousandth of the Green Emperor, the enemies in the Soul Refining Realm will probably have a headache when they see this thing."

"It's quite surprising that the Green Emperor has a successor." The female emperor of Yuzhou looked at Fairy Yao Meng.

Yao Meng smiled lightly, her voice clear and pleasant: "Qian'er has helped me a lot in the past. I chose her to repay her favors and to make up for my apology to her."

"Apology?"

The great powers looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

A great power in the Hedao realm feels sorry for a cultivator in the Lianshen realm...?

"This Ye Qian is a good seedling. If she is interested in the future, she can go to Yuzhou for further study for a year or two." The empress's eyes were filled with sincere appreciation.

Yao Meng smiled and said, "If Qian'er knew, she would probably be very happy."

Yuzhou has a very special terrain, and the way of cultivation is completely different from Dongzhou. If Ye Qian can go to Yuzhou for further study in the future, her future growth will be much higher than now.

The eyes of the great powers swept over those cultivators one by one.

When seeing the black-robed young man struggling to support his body in front of the Glazed Palace, a powerful person nodded slightly and commented: "Not a bad seedling."

Ye Yu below seemed to have noticed the gazes of several powerful people, and there was a little more excitement in his eyes. He glanced at Mu Zhian who was not far from the Glazed Palace.

But in front of those real powerful people, who is the genius is obvious at a glance!

Nowadays, there are no more than ten cultivators who can maintain themselves under the pressure of the first generation of demon kings, and he is one of them!

As for Mu Zhian, he just relied on the maid beside him to barely keep from kneeling down.

If he can become an exchange student in Yuzhou after this, the resources and skills he can get in the future will be much more than now!

"This Ye Yu is really like a cockroach. Even the thunder tribulation of twenty people can't kill him. God is really outrageous. Is there such an obvious help for others?" Mu Zhian held Wei Mengrou's slender waist with both hands to maintain his body shape, and couldn't help but complain.

He didn't expect to see Ye Yu just after leaving the Glazed Palace, and because of the pressure of the Nine-Life Sky Phoenix, they were unable to move, and could only use their own spiritual energy and willpower to fight against the power of the combined way.

At that time in the martial world, he had no time to deal with Ye Yu, but now he saw that the other party had obtained the qualification for the assessment of the Ascension Conference.

"Sister Mengrou, do you think it's outrageous?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou slightly side-eyed, with a trace of contempt in her eyes: "I only know that if you make a move again, I will kick you off the cliff to see the spirit dragon now."

"This is just to resist the pressure of the first generation of demon king." Mu Zhian explained.

Wei Mengrou snorted coldly: "Have you ever seen anyone put his hand on someone else's waist to resist the pressure?"

"Me." Mu Zhian said teasingly.

Then, after noticing Wei Mengrou's sincere intention to kick him off the cliff, he had to withdraw his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a joke."

In fact, even without relying on Wei Mengrou, Mu Zhian can support himself to resist this pressure with his own spiritual energy, but he can't be close to Sister Mengrou.

However, since the other party has said so, he can only use the spiritual energy to cover the surface of his body to resist this pressure.

Not far away, the empress of Yuzhou glanced at the farce below with a smile, and chuckled: "This little cultivator is content to eat soft rice."

It is obvious that Mu Zhian is opportunistic and did not really resist the pressure of the first generation of demon king. He just relied on the yellow skirt beauty beside him to barely resist the pressure.

This has nothing to do with genius.

Just as the empress was about to withdraw her gaze, as Mu Zhian's aura covered her body, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mu Zhian with doubt.

How could a fourth-grade soul refiner emit aura close to the peak of returning to the void...?

No...

This peak of returning to the void aura does not seem to be his own...

Yao Meng glanced at the empress of Yuzhou inadvertently, raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak to interrupt her thoughts.

At this time, after a brief gaze, the empress's eyes finally showed a little more interest, and she opened her red lips and said, "What is the name of that little cultivator?"

The moment the voice fell, the eyes of several powerful people followed the empress's line of sight and fell on Mu Zhian.
