Chapter 99
Ni Hua’s gaze penetrated the soul-calling flag in Situ Qianxun’s hand, looking directly at the deep ghost energy contained in it, and she couldn’t help but feel an indescribable shock in her heart. The devil world, this abyss that has been nourished by resentment and death since ancient times and fed on the evil of human nature, has silently become the biggest winner in the fight between snipe and clam. The yellow mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. The oriole.
Ni Hua knows very well that the methods of cultivation in the demon world are very different from those in the human and demon worlds. They use the power of resentment and death to improve their cultivation, making traditional pills almost ineffective against them. Behind the previous actions that seemed to be caused by the demon world, in fact, the demon world was peeping in the shadows, and the behind-the-scenes driving forces were patiently planning, step by step, pushing the entire Three Realms into the center of an unprecedented storm.
During the communication with Chen Yuan, Ni Hua was even more keen to capture a subtle clue. Chen Yuan inadvertently revealed that the source of some pills containing thousands of residual poisons also pointed to the devil world. This discovery, like a heavy hammer, shattered the last bit of luck in her heart, forcing the world of immortality to face the terrifying power lurking in the dark.
Ni Hua couldn't help but think of Linjiang Xian, the only child of the Xi family, who appeared here later. He appeared here in the last life, and she would always meet him in this life. She wanted to know what role the monk codenamed "Linjiang Immortal" played in it.
The tentacles of the devil seem to have penetrated into every corner silently, weaving a huge and complicated web, waiting for the final moment to close it.
In order to delve deeper into the truth behind all this, Nihua decided to take the initiative. She raised her head and looked firmly at Situ Qianxun, thinking about how to get close to this woman who possessed unique skills and was obviously inextricably linked to the devil world.
However, when people are talking about Ni Hua who abandoned the right path for love, Situ Qianxun's interest seems to be more attracted by another character - that is, taking the initiative to show his kindness to her Xi Yan.
In this world where the strong are respected, stories of loyalty and betrayal are played out every day, but Xi Yan’s actions are undoubtedly more intriguing, especially when he chooses to leave the demon world and side with Situ Qianxun decision.
Just when Nihua was trying to get closer and was preparing to recommend herself in order to leave a good impression in front of Situ Qianxun, Situ Qianxun just glanced slightly sideways and glanced at Chen Yuan, as if silently asking him He then turned to Ni Hua and asked in an indifferent tone: "What do you know?" This question was short and direct, but full of testing meaning, as if a person's entire value was to be measured in an instant.
So, Nihua adjusted her posture and slowly moved forward with just the right amount of humility and sincerity.
She keenly caught the flash of displeasure in Situ Qianxun's eyes, and she immediately realized that the previous display alone was not enough. In this land full of powerful people, pure talent and information cannot completely win the favor of a strong person, especially a person as deep-minded and powerful as Situ Qianxun.
Ni Hua knows very well that in the demon world, information is sometimes more precious than any force. As a result, Nihua quickly adjusted her strategy and decided to take a bolder and risky action - she wanted to fight for a place in the devil world for herself as a prophet.
Ni Hua deliberately lowered his voice, adding a bit of mystery to his voice, as if telling an ancient and distant secret, "I can see fragments of the future."
After Ni Hua During Hua's efforts to survive in the demon world, she found that she had overestimated herself. She could absorb a small amount of demon energy and resentment, but compared to those old monsters in the demon world, she was not enough to compete with them. If she wanted to stand firm here Heel, she must take risks.
After hearing what Ni Hua said, everyone present, including Situ Qianxun, couldn't help but be moved. Although this idea of wanting to know the aftermath and have a glimpse of the future is not unheard of in the demon world, it is enough to cause a stir.
Ni Hua looked at Xi Yan's sweeping gaze, she lowered her head, and her eyes slowly turned into something difficult to understand. Since she had it all over again and had such an innate advantage, why not use it?
They are already in the game. She should have thought that there would still be ten years before the sect was destroyed, but everything that happened in advance told her that everything would be over soon.
Ni Hua knew very well that once she opened her mouth, it would be hard to stop. She had to make this prophecy shocking enough to completely impress Situ Qianxun.
"I foresee that in the near future, there will be a drastic change in the demon world." Nihua's eyes became extremely firm, as if he had really penetrated the mists of time, "A high-ranking and powerful person The devil will die suddenly and mysteriously on a dark and windy night.”
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence. Situ Qianxun's eyes became particularly sharp at that moment, and she slowly raised her eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, staring straight into the depths of Ni Hua's soul. "If this is your lie," her voice was cold, but also contained a hint of curiosity, "then you'd better pray that you have enough ability to escape my punishment."
Ni Hua It is known that one of the four demon kings did die suddenly during this period, but since there is no evidence, he can only attribute it to the prophecy. It was precisely because of this bold statement that she was retained by Situ Qianxun.
Situ Qianxun summoned Ni Hua, and his sharp eyes contained both scrutiny and indescribable meaning. "Who did you say died?"
Ni Hua lowered his eyes and said respectfully, I don't know. But she knew where the man would die.
Her eyes recalled the past in a daze, but in the eyes of others, she was the one who started to predict.
Nihua lowered her head slightly to show respect, but she was quickly calculating in her mind how and how much information she should reveal.
Fortunately, Situ Qianxun also stopped.
Situ Qianxun didn’t take Nihua seriously. After all, squeezing her to death was like squeezing an ant to death. Moreover, Nihua’s identity was once the disciple of a righteous person, the most famous of Xuantian Sect. One of the geniuses. Since he is known as a spiritual genius, if he is truly extraordinary, maybe he is.
Situ Qianxun took this prophecy seriously not only because Situ Qianxun was also one of the four demon kings, but also because Situ Qianxun’s methods were very similar to Nihua’s, both of which relied on external forces. By improving her own strength, once Situ Qianxun's soul is taken away, she may indeed be in trouble.
If Nihua was not an undercover agent sent by Zhengdao to disturb the demon world, then Situ Qianxun was a little curious about who was standing behind Nihua.
After all, Ni Hua made this prediction in public. If Ni Hua was not seeking death in a hurry, it would be really intriguing.
And Situ Qianxun thought casually, if not, just kill Ni Hua, it would not be a big deal. If that's true, it's a bit subtle.
This is undoubtedly a gamble. Nihua is betting on Situ Qianxun's curiosity about the unknown and his sensitivity to changes in power. She believed that even if this strong woman in the demon world half-believed her prophecy, she would not easily let go of any information source that might affect the future pattern.
Undercurrents are surging in the demon world, and all kinds of speculation and uneasy emotions are filling the air. Nihua stood in Situ Qianxun's mansion with mixed feelings in her heart.
Ni Hua unexpectedly met Xi Yan at the corner. He was wearing a black brocade robe, with satin-like black hair hanging behind him. He was playing with his fox mask with his jade knuckles. Here, a familiar and slightly playful voice sounded behind her: "Senior sister."
Ni Hua wanted to pretend not to see it, but Xi Yan stopped Ni Hua. Nihua put her hands together. She looked at the flower-protecting bells on the eaves of the Demon Palace. She came back to her senses and glanced at him steadily. In fact, not only did she have all kinds of flaws in herself, but she also learned from his words and deeds. It is also speculated that Xi Yan also had a glimpse of the past.
“So, you saved me because you saw the future?”
Ni Hua turned around and faced Xi Yan’s pair of smiling eyes. Eye.
"Junior brother." Nihua responded with a smile, looking at the young man in front of her who was dressed appropriately in black, and finally separated Xi Yan from the shadow of the past. She knew that he would ask this question, and she slowly He said, "The future is unpredictable, and the fate with my junior brother may just be fate."
Xi Yan shook his head gently, and an elusive smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Destiny? I prefer to believe that it is senior sister's choice. After all, you always seem to be able to see further than others." There was something in his words. Test points.
The two walked side by side on the corridor, and everything around them seemed to be still.
“But, senior sister, whether it’s true or not, it’s too risky for you to do this.”
Xi Yan’s tone revealed a hint of rare recognition, “Prophet Destiny is often accompanied by danger, senior sister, how are you going to deal with it next?”
Ni Hua smiled softly, “So what”
Xi Yan's eyes were lonely for a moment.
Ni Hua suddenly understood from his eyes that it’s hard to persuade a damn ghost, but isn’t Xi Yan like that too? He knew that returning to the demon world was the best choice for him, but he still wanted to stay here.
Anyway, you have to walk your own path.
Hearing the footsteps, the two looked at each other quietly, and then passed each other, as if they didn't know each other.
Ni Hua walked quietly on the unfamiliar stone steps. The appearance of Xi Yan made her realize that her situation was more subtle. Every move he makes is closely watched by people from different forces. She knew she had to be more careful, because in this world full of intrigues, any slight oversight could become a fatal trap.
.........
The next few months were both torture and expectation for Nihua. She counted down silently in her heart every day, waiting for the moment when the prophecy would come true, but at the same time she was afraid because Her prophecy produced a butterfly effect, but at the same time she felt as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment, and in the blink of an eye, the predicted day comes quietly. On that seemingly ordinary night, shocking news came from the demon world. A well-known demon died suddenly in his mansion without any warning. The cause of death is a mystery. This incident was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing waves and shaking every corner of the demon world.
The great demon who died was one of the four great demons, the Corpse-Eating Demon. He practiced by absorbing the dead energy of corpses to improve his cultivation. Among the four great demons, He is the weakest among the kings, but he has another level of identity. He is the right-hand man of the newly appointed Demon Lord.
The newly appointed Demon Lord was not recognized by all the Demon Lords, but the Corpse Eater was the first to surrender.
The corpse-eating demon died in a particularly dishonorable manner. After his death, he created a large number of illusions within hundreds of miles around his mansion. Once you step inside, you will get lost in them.
With the death of the corpse eater, people are reminded of Ni Hua's prophecy two months ago, and all this can't help but make people think deeply.
When the news reached everyone's ears, they all looked at Nihua with an unusual look. They didn't know if Nihua had received the news in advance, or if she really had the power of prophecy.
Ni Hua's reputation suddenly spread in the demon world, and even attracted the attention of the demon lord.
At the same time, news of Nihua's betrayal of the righteous path also spread to the world of immortality. It was said that she was thriving in the demon world, attracting many righteous people to criticize her verbally and even to the point of shouting for beatings and killings. the point.
But ordinary people cannot cross the Endless Abyss. Under the protection of Situ Qianxun, Nihua is not worried about her own life.
Situ Qianxun met Ni Hua again. Situ Qianxun’s eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Ni Hua knew that although Situ Qianxun seemed cold and decisive on the surface, in fact, she was delicate and resourceful in her heart, and would strictly control any factors that might affect her power. And he has undoubtedly become an important chess piece in her eyes.
"You do have some skills." Situ Qianxun looked at the little ant that he had ignored since he put it in his house. Ni Hua himself finally caught Situ Qianxun's attention.
With the mysterious death of the great demon, Nihua knew that although this prophecy unexpectedly came true, her fate was closely bound to this powerful woman in the demon world. Take every step with caution.
"You did give me a surprise and a problem." Situ Qianxun's voice echoed in the empty hall. She turned her back to Nihua and stood tall, "Keeping you here means you can't be around me." Certain factors, but letting you go would be too much of a waste of your 'talent'."
Ni Hua bowed his head slightly to show respect. "With the Demon Lord's wisdom, I can clearly see everything. If I am lucky enough to stay in the house, I will do my best to solve the Demon Lord's problems." Nihua's words revealed sincerity, but also hinted at agility. She understands that if she wants to survive in this den of dragons and tigers, she must prove her worth while also being careful to avoid becoming a thorn in the eyes of others.
In the days to come, she will not only continue to prove her ability to predict, but also learn how to become a true chess player in this intricate chess game.
For Nihua, this is both a victory and a new starting point. She understood that she had stepped into a more dangerous chess game. Every prediction was dancing on the tip of a knife, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed.
