Chapter 102
In the dark night, the shadow of the Demon Palace is like a huge monster, silently swallowing all the surrounding light. The conversation between Ni Hua and Xi Yan quietly lengthened during this long time.
After Xi Yan left, she stood still for a long time, lost in thought. It was not until the monitor hidden in the darkness slowly walked out that she came back to her senses.
Chen Yuan's appearance was like the deepest trace of ink in the night, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.
The corners of his mouth were half-smiling. He looked at Nihua quietly, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts. Nihua couldn't help but feel chilled. He didn't know how long he had been watching in secret. .
Although Ni Hua was on good terms with him on the surface, she still couldn't get rid of the scene in her mind when she recalled that her junior sister, who had a crush on Chen Yuan in her previous life, ended up being stabbed through her heart by his sword. Mu Xiangchen's fate is like a mirror, reflecting Chen Yuan's ruthless nature and reminding her that the person in front of her is by no means a kind person.
When he saw him asking about himself, Nihua suddenly smiled and responded with a few innocuous words.
Chen Yuan looked at the direction Xi Yan left. She thought of Xi Yan again, who had not gone far, but her heart was surging like a tidal wave. Vigilance and uneasiness intertwined into an invisible net, binding her tightly. .
Sure enough, she saw Chen Yuan chasing after him casually.
Ni Hua blinked slightly and followed.
Xi Yan didn't go far, or he didn't leave at all. Chen Yuan and Xi Yan met unexpectedly, and their figures were elongated in the night, like two opposing ink lines on an ancient scroll.
There was an indescribable tension in the air, as if even the fine dust in the air was holding its breath.
Chen Yuan looked at Xi Yan, who was elusive. In comparison, he looked younger and more energetic. That energy made him speak first. "What a coincidence."
Although they met for the first time, they seemed to be old acquaintances, with a subtle tacit understanding flowing between them.
At this moment, Nihua could almost hear the sound of her own heartbeat. She was thinking about how she could save the situation when the conflict broke out.
However, contrary to her expectation, the two of them were not as tense as she imagined. On the contrary, the communication between them was like a silent chess game.
Ni Hua noticed that their eyes met, as if they were conveying some kind of silent message. This scene surprised and confused her. It seemed that they had contacted earlier than last time, and they must have reached some secret deal.
Xi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, with an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth. He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and your cultivation seems to have taken a step forward."
Chen Yuan looked back at Ni Hua and smiled calmly.
While she was thinking, suddenly there was a ghostly aura in the air.
Chen Yuan looked at them deeply, and then, without saying anything else, he just nodded slightly to Xi Yan, turned around and left, and quickly disappeared at the other end of the corridor.
Ni Hua felt something unusual and held her breath for a moment.
After Chen Yuan left, Xi Yan took Nihua to the dead forest in her dream. He looked up at the dead tree, sighed softly, and looked at her with those eyes. There is both helplessness and profound meaning in it. "Senior sister, many things are not as simple as you see."
His words were like a gust of wind, blowing through her heart and making waves.
“Chen Yuan is the illegitimate son of the previous demon lord.”
So they achieve the same goal for now.
Ni Hua tries to piece together the pieces of the truth from the clues, and she connects these things together. Chen Yuan is the illegitimate son of the previous demon lord, and that female demon very much supported the previous demon lord... She thought of the tragedy in the world of immortality over the years and the resentment and death that filled the sky, and her eyebrows moved slightly. , "Resurrection?"
The devil's sect has been struggling for most of its life and failed to accomplish things, but it was accomplished by this person in front of them. There was some sarcasm between Ni Hua's brows. He didn't know if it was because the person in front of him was lucky or because of the system. Perhaps going forward, it was said that this man could gather the four great spiritual weapons and set up an altar. Who is the driving force behind the scenes? Which upright and good person ascended to great power and left such a prophecy.
After Ni Hua left, Xi Yan looked at Ni Hua's back in trance. Then, he casually walked down the underground palace in the dead forest. The huge illusion left behind after the death of the corpse eater was unfolding. Eating away the death energy around here. In the previous life, they had set a dragnet against him here.
Recently, the entire demon clan seems to be shrouded in an unprecedented tense atmosphere, and there is a sign of impending rain in the air. The oppression of the demons was not without reason. Nihua quietly clutched the bracelet on her wrist that absorbed the demonic energy. She had a faint feeling that something big was about to happen.
In sharp contrast, news from the fairy world came sporadically, revealing temporary chaos and uneasiness. The turmoil between the two worlds is like a huge chess game, and she is just an insignificant chess piece, imprisoned in this devil's palace in disguise. She listens to insignificant conversations every day, and then they Then she borrowed her "prophetic" howl and began to attack the opponent.
But since that night, those disorienting illusions have never appeared again, but when she looks at the black jade on the bedside when she wakes up every day, she knows that Xi Yan has been here before. After all, as a The last winner in the previous life, Xi Yan naturally knew the layout of the Demon Palace very well, and she pretended not to know.
She looked at the reflection on the bronze mirror. Without the interference of illusion, her thoughts were clearer, but also heavier.
She casually followed a group of demons to the Demon Palace for a conference from nine to five. During the demon sect’s conference, she suddenly learned that yesterday, on that stormy night, the third A leader died suddenly.
Everything went faster than expected. What was sad was that Ren Yiqiu's ending was the same as in the previous life, with his body hung at the door of the first sect.
Ni Hua couldn't help but cast her eyes on Xi Yan, who was at the bottom with a low eyebrow and a gentle look. He looked at his eyes and his nose, hiding his emotions very well.
The death of Ren Yiqiu turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the world. In the original script, an important supporting character was like cannon fodder and died in a very careless manner.
With the death of Ren Yiqiu, Shengjing personally sent people to "justice" for Ren Yiqiu. As a result, many shocking secrets were revealed, one of which was the person behind the "Thousand Silk Silkworm Poison", not to mention Ren Yiqiu's subsequent actions of seizing bodies, refining medicine, and all kinds of evil...
With Things were different in the previous life. In this game, the grievances about Ren Yiqiu's wife Xi Marriage were still buried in the dust.
After returning to his house, Nihua watched the wind and rain outside quietly hitting Huhua Ling. She lowered her head, and a piece of spiritual consciousness, sealed by the master himself, passed through the wind and rain and miraculously arrived in her hands.
Ni Hua opened the envelope, and the master's vigorous handwriting came into view. Every word was like a heavy hammer: "Director Zhang Yun has abandoned his cultivation and entered the devil's path..."
At that moment, Ni Hua Quietly closing her eyes, senior brother, the male protagonist in the book who was like a breeze and a bright moon, finally took the path that the villain should take as she guessed. Nihua went on her own to find out more information. What shocked her was that the person traveling with her senior brother turned out to be a half-demon.
How could Xu Changye, the half-demon whose only destiny was the fox demon, fall into the evil way so easily?
At this time, urgent news came from the distant Holy Land. The four spiritual jades of the Song family placed in the Holy Land were stolen. They were the treasures that had protected the Song family for thousands of years. They were said to contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could protect the world. peaceful.
...
A gust of cold wind blew by, seeming to carry some kind of warning. Nihua suddenly opened her eyes from her sleep. She looked outside and found that the two demons who had been guarding the door of the house suddenly disappeared.
Ni Hua gently pulled out the Qingfeng Sword. The cold light shone on the blade, and she walked quietly outside. There was a figure standing outside, and that familiar figure was Xi Yan.
"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.
Xi Yan did not answer immediately, with a complicated expression on his face. He paused, as if looking for the right words, "There are some things that you have the right to know."
Xi Yan approached slowly and took out a package from his arms. Inside was one of the four lost spiritual jade.
She was surprised, but also puzzled.
"What...what's going on?" Nihua was suddenly stunned, and she looked at him for a long time.
She thought of the powerful Elder Han in the first sect who had been kind to Xi Yan in her previous life. The fact that this piece of jade came into his hands could mean that he must have been involved in Ren Yiqiu's death.
There is an inner demon oath between them. After coming to the Demon Cult, Nihua knows how to use this restraint. If she wants to explore, sometimes she can see Xi Yan's state of mind. One or two of them.
"Also, what happened to Xu Changye." Xu Changye fell into Xi Yan's hands. Although Xu Changye's memory was cleansed, the demons in the demon world are the best at deceiving people. She did not believe that Xu Changye was as good as he showed. Then forget about the fox demon.
Xi Yan looked at her and smiled quietly. "Of course I caught the fox demon and asked him to help."
After the demon world Qin Wushuang was poisoned, he was tired of managing many things in the demon world, and the old Taoist gradually secretly took over many forces. , and the fox demon has reached the end of its strength and has become useless. Over there, they have almost closed the net.
After the innocent people who died over the years because of the hidden thread of Qiansi Candu entered the Soul Conjuring Fan with resentment, they also waited for the opportunity and secretly set up altars in the demon world.
And Xu Changye is a medicine man, and he is not an ordinary medicine man. His blood will become a sacrifice on the altar.
Ni Hua pursed her lips and looked at her junior brother who still had a certain elegance that had not faded away from his youthfulness. She felt strange and familiar at the same time.
Xi Yan looked at her quietly, and saw that the expression on her face suddenly changed a little unpredictably. He raised his lips calmly and smiled, "Sister, you don't have to guard against me, I will always be on your side."
Nihua lowered her eyes, and her pupils suddenly shrank, forever... ...and it’s somewhat believable.
Recalling the continuous killings in the past few days, seeing Xi Yan walking unimpeded in the Demon Palace, some thoughts flashed through Nihua's dark eyes: Xi Yan must have something to fight for.
In the past few days, more and more people have defected to the Demon Cult, and more and more people have died. Amidst the demonic aura and silent surge in the sky, Nihua has also been forced to She chose to take sides. Since she was trapped in the Demon Palace, she sided with the leader of the Demon Cult, completely opposing Situ Qianxun.
Ni Hua thought about the man in black who had kidnapped him before, and the frequent conflicts between the demon world and the immortal world. Did they start to snatch this spiritual weapon at that time? Perhaps there is a possibility that from the moment Xi Yan came to the Demon Sect, this piece of jade was in Xi Yan's hands from beginning to end, and it became his sincerity to them.
With the candles extinguished, Ni Hua returned to the house and looked at her own shadow. She thought that it would be best if she and Xi Yan were friends instead of enemies.
What she was thinking about was that her senior brother was going to cross the Endless Abyss to come to the Demon Sect.
Ni Hua tried to contact Si Changyun, but she didn't expect that she actually got in touch, but this also meant that Si Changyun was already near the Demon Sect.
As night falls, the black mist of the Demon Cult is like a giant beast, swallowing up the last ray of the setting sun and shrouding the earth in a strange silence. She stood on the high platform of the Endless Abyss, looking through the lingering demonic energy, feeling uneasy in her heart. This is the place where she and her senior brother agreed to meet, and it is also the starting point for Director Yun to go deep into the tiger's den. She had a premonition that tonight would be the turning point of everything.
Time passed by minute by second, and her heartbeat accelerated with the faint magic sound in the distance. Just when she was about to give up hope, a figure staggered out of the night.
The young man has a jade-like face, but his clothes are torn, and the mottled blood on his body is particularly dazzling in the weak moonlight, as if he has returned from hell, full of traces of death.
The autumn rain fell continuously, and a heavy fog rose from the Endless Abyss. The entire demon world was as quiet as a tomb.
Dead silence filled the air. Director Yun saw the black dots in the mist from a distance. His eyes were solemn for a long time, but he moved the corner of his mouth and held the long sword on his body. forward.
"Senior brother." Seeing the male protagonist falling to the ground from a distance, Nihua flew down with mixed feelings in his heart.
When Si Changyun saw her, he forced a forced smile on his lips. There was endless exhaustion hidden behind that smile. "You shouldn't be here..."
His words were broken, and every word seemed to use all his strength. She quickly supported him, feeling the weight and warmth of his body, and the worry in her heart became even more intense. She carefully examined his injuries, fearing that she would touch an unhealed wound.
Director Yun shook his head, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, including helplessness and relief. "It's more dangerous than expected... but the key thing has been obtained."
Director Yun tremblingly took out an ancient jade talisman from his arms, which was engraved with obscure talismans. Wen exudes a faint aura, which is the goal of their trip and the key to uncovering the devil's conspiracy.
She took the jade talisman and felt the powerful power contained in it, and felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. How did the senior brother obtain this thing despite many difficulties.
Ni Hua checked that Director Chang Yun's body was empty. He didn't even have a trace of spiritual power in his body. Her face darkened. How could she solve the dream? Could it be that all her cultivation was abolished?
Ni Hua looked at Xu Changye who was following behind like a shadow, not far away, and said hello to Xu Changye gently.
