The Devil King? No, Please Call Me The Immortal King Xiaoyao.

When the autumn wind arrives, the green mountains are shrouded in fine rain.

Toads croak in the lake, and human affairs are in turmoil.

Gu Yue Clan, at the back of the mountain stronghold.

Within a deep pool, a mountain-like River Swallowing Toad sits and rests. It soaks in the water, only revealing part of its forehead, comfortably asleep.

The brilliant sunlight shines on its sky-blue skin, shimmering with radiant light.

A gentle breeze blows, and several small birds land on its head to play, many bees fly around gathering honey, occasionally passing by its side.

To the left of the pool, there is a bamboo pavilion courtyard. Groups of people walk busily outside the courtyard.

Inside a bedroom in the courtyard, a young man sits cross-legged, diligently cultivating.

His aura is long and enduring, and with each breath, milky white streams of air surround him.

He is Gu Yue Yi Xin, the young clan leader of the Gu Yue Clan, who has been the talk of Qing Mao Mountain these past few days. Because he subdued the River Swallowing Toad a few days ago, he has been called the "Heaven-Chosen Youth" by busybodies.

But Yi Xin, as the person involved, smiled helplessly when he heard that he actually had the title of "Heaven-Chosen Youth." "What heaven-chosen? It's just that I got along well with the River Swallowing Toad using the Immortal by the River."

"The Immortal by the River, as a soul path Immortal Gu, also houses a soul, so it can naturally communicate with other Gu worms. Moreover, the Immortal by the River has a large reserve of primeval essence.

Humans are the spirit of all things, and Gu are the essence of heaven and earth. The primeval essence cultivated by Gu Masters by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is a top-quality treasure for Gu worms.

But generally speaking, when Gu worms obtain this primeval essence, it has already been refined by humans. Primeval essence, like that of the Immortal by the River, which is condensed by a Gu worm absorbing a Gu Master's primeval essence, is an unprecedented immortal-grade product for other Gu worms, even better than fine wine and jade dew.

I don't need to coerce the River Swallowing Toad at all. The River Swallowing Toad itself will want to follow me."

From the River Swallowing Toad's perspective, how could it not be happy and willing to follow someone who can communicate with it without obstacles, provide it with comfort and gentleness, help it improve its cultivation, and provide it with a small nest?

Yi Xin was overjoyed to have such a powerful Gu worm, and the Gu Yue Clan celebrated as a whole, deciding to allocate the entire back mountain to Yi Xin as his and the River Swallowing Toad's residence.

Gu Yue Bo even planned to connect the other underground rivers to this pool in the future to increase its depth, hoping to support the River Swallowing Toad for generations.

It can be said that this is a win-win-win situation.

It's just that the other two mountain strongholds don't think so.

"I didn't expect the Gu Yue Clan to be so blessed by heaven. They used to be the overlords of Qing Mao Mountain. In recent years, they have clearly declined, but now two A-grade talents have emerged."

"Gu Yue Yi Xin, one of them, is even a chosen one of heaven. He is not yet sixteen years old, but he has already become a Rank 3 and been promoted to the position of young clan leader. In the past few days, he has even subdued the Rank 5 Gu worm, the River Swallowing Toad."

"And there's the Bai Clan. Their young clan leader, Bai Ning Bing, is also rising rapidly, and no one in the entire Qing Mao Mountain can match him."

"Alas, I'm afraid my Xiong Clan won't get any benefits in the three-clan alliance." Xiong Li looked at the gate of the Gu Yue Clan ahead, his face full of sorrow.

"Clearly, I am already the number one Rank 2 Gu Master of the Xiong Clan, with dozens of battles, winning more than losing, and establishing great prestige. Moreover, I possess the Bear Hero Gu, with the strength of a bear, and am known as the strongest man in Qing Mao Mountain, but compared to the two of them, I am simply like a chicken or a dog.

But no matter what, I have a mission, and I have to show the strength of the Xiong Clan to fight for more benefits for the clan in the three-clan alliance."

Thinking of this, Xiong Li could only gather his mind and lead the other clansmen into the Gu Yue Clan.

The so-called three-clan alliance is the alliance of the three major mountain strongholds of Qing Mao Mountain: Gu Yue Clan, Bai Clan, and Xiong Clan, to jointly resist the beast tide.

This alliance is often held every few years. After all, it is far from enough to resist the outbreak of the wolf tide with the strength of one clan alone. Only the combination of the three clans can stop the raging wolf tide.

This not only concerns life and death, but is also an important way for each clan to obtain resources for development.

After all, where there is unity, there must be battle merits, and where there are battle merits, there must be rewards. The stronger the mountain stronghold, the more it can obtain.

At the Alliance Slope, the three clan camps gathered together.

Hundreds and thousands of Gu Masters gathered here, forming a huge scale.

The Alliance Slope was originally just an ordinary hillside. But in history, the second-generation clan leader of the Gu Yue Clan facilitated the first three-clan alliance here. From then on, all subsequent alliances were held here.

After years of transformation, the current Alliance Slope is dozens of times larger than the original, and has become a huge square.

On the side of the square against the mountain wall, there is also a tall boulder standing.

Inside the boulder, there is a stone-carved pavilion with stone tables and chairs. The high-level members of the three clans are sitting inside at this time, discussing closely.

Under the boulder pavilion, the Gu Masters of the three strongholds stood distinctly, forming three huge groups.

The Gu Masters all wore similar martial uniforms with belts, and their respective cultivation levels were clear at a glance. A quick glance revealed that they were basically Rank 2 Gu Masters.

Rank 1 Gu Masters were mostly responsible for logistics in the alliance, while Rank 2 Gu Masters were the real main force. As for Rank 3 Gu Masters, they were all clan elders, belonging to the leadership and management of the alliance.

The number of Rank 3 Gu Masters was small. A medium-sized family like the Gu Yue Clan only accumulated twenty or so clan elders after generations of hard work.

Before the meeting started, there were still grievances and grudges, bustling and noisy, every time like this, every time like that.

After all, the three strongholds are in the same world, and it is normal to have friction. The three clan leaders who were negotiating did not stop them, but discussed the various matters of the alliance.

The subsequent distribution of benefits naturally depends on the strength of each clan. How to compare?

Of course, there are corresponding sparring methods between Gu Masters. The Gu Fighting Assembly begins!

This Gu Fighting Assembly is to show the strength of the clan, to promote exchanges, and to temporarily resolve grievances, in order to achieve the purpose of cooperation and consensus. After all, it is mainly for sparring, and stopping at the right time.

Among the younger generation of these three clans, the Gu Yue Clan and Bai Clan are the strongest, and the Xiong Clan is the second. Even if Xiong Li tried his best, he was still defeated by the two clans one after another.

The battles on the stage continued, and the cheers under the stage were joyous, making it lively for a while.

But no matter how lively it was, everyone still held a expectation in their hearts. After all, the two most popular and famous people had not yet shown up.

"Bai Ning Bing!" I don't know which Gu Master shouted, and suddenly, many Gu Masters' high emotions were vented, and they also shouted: "Bai Ning Bing!" "Gu Yue Yi Xin!"

Seeing that the two people's names were shouted louder and louder, the three clan leaders all understood in their hearts: "It seems that everyone wants to see these two compete."

The Xiong Clan leader quickly fanned the flames.

The Bai Clan leader laughed and said: "I don't think these two have arrived yet, I guess the competition won't happen."

As soon as he said this, someone shouted again: "Look, Bai Ning Bing is on the stone platform!"

Suddenly, countless eyes were cast over.

Sure enough, on the stone platform was a white-haired young man, dressed in a white robe, with a beautiful appearance, leaning on the stone carved railing, looking at the thousands of Gu Masters below with disinterest.

Hearing everyone's shouts, Bai Ning Bing, contrary to his usual behavior, got up and looked at the Gu Master team of the Gu Yue Clan, but from his still indifferent expression, he did this entirely because of Gu Yue Yi Xin.

When everyone saw Bai Ning Bing expressing his desire to fight, their attention was also turned to the Gu Yue Clan, and they searched for the other person's figure.

"Where is Gu Yue Yi Xin?"

"Has he come?"

"Hurry up and accept the challenge!"

......

Seeing everyone searching below, but the main character did not appear for a long time, Bai Ning Bing's eyes clearly changed from expectation to anger, he snorted in disappointment: "It's really boring."

Just as everyone was booing Yi Xin, Bai Ning Bing was about to leave this boring place when a carrier pigeon landed on his shoulder.

Bai Ning Bing felt puzzled, he took out the note in the letter tube.

He looked at the note for a long time, but his expression turned into excitement and surprise, he laughed loudly and jumped away.

Leaving the crowd in the square with a dazed look.

What exactly was written on that note?
