Thousands of miles away, it was also an ordinary late night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, quietly looking at the earthly world.

In the wilderness, there is also a person looking up at the cold moon. He is still dressed in a Taoist robe with long sleeves. On his sharp-edged face, the calm and powerful aura is still vaguely visible.

The night wind in the wilderness blew by, the wild grass swayed, and between the fluttering clothes and the silence, it seemed as if time had stood still.

However, who can retain time? Ten years have passed in the end while you were in a daze.

Someone sighed, their voice was light and slowly drifted away in the wind.

In this silence, suddenly a voice came from a distance, with a bit of a smile, saying: "The Taoist Master is admiring the moon alone on this beautiful day. What a good mood!"

The voice was still far away when it first started, but after saying the words, it was already behind the Taoist. The Taoist took a deep breath and turned around. Under the moonlight, it was the Cangsong Taoist who had colluded with the Demon Cult and betrayed Qingyun ten years ago.

And standing not far behind him was the smiling Ghost King, the leader of the Ghost King Sect. However, at this moment, although the Ghost King's face looked as usual, he had white hair and looked quite haggard. Only under his eyes In the middle, there was another blazing light shining faintly, which was even more dazzling than before.

Taoist Cangsong glanced at the Ghost King's hair. His originally calm and calm expression changed, and he said in astonishment: "Sect Master, what's wrong with your hair..."

The Ghost King smiled faintly. Taoist Cangsong had such a reaction. In fact, he had expected it. For a person with advanced cultivation like him, his appearance would not change much even after a hundred years. But this time, suddenly three days later Outsiders such as Baitou and Cangsong who did not know what he was doing were naturally extremely surprised, thinking that he had encountered some problem in his practice.

The Ghost King did not explain, and there was no big change in his face. He just smiled and said, "Although you and I are both cultivators, we are still mortals after all. We will always have grudges and sorrows."

Taoist Cangsong's face tightened and he said solemnly: "Yes, it's me who talks too much."

The Ghost King shook his head and smiled, walked to Taoist Cangsong with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "I won't mention it anymore. However, since the battle of Qingyun ten years ago, I heard that Taoist Master has been worshiped by Wandu Sect, and he is highly respected. Is there anything important that you suddenly asked me to meet here at night? If the senior Poison God knows about this matter, I will naturally be fine with it, but I'm afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience to the Taoist priest."

Taoist Cangsong stared at the Ghost King for a long time, but the Ghost King didn't ask any questions. He still kept a smile and waited with a smile. After a long while, Cansong sighed: "Sect Master, you are indeed not comparable to ordinary people. To be honest, I will make an appointment with the Sect Master tonight. We really have something important to discuss."

The Ghost King said: "Taoist Master, please tell me."

Cangsong glanced at the Ghost King and said: "Master, do you know that the Poison God, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, passed away three days ago."

Cangsong Taoist's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunder in a silent place. Even a person with such determination as the Ghost King couldn't help but trembled, his face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "What?"

Cangsong stared at the Ghost King closely and said: "The Poison God passed away three days ago. After his death, he left a will to pass on the position of sect master to the youngest disciple Qin Wuyan."

The Ghost King gradually calmed down, but his brows were still deeply furrowed. His face was calm, but in his heart, he was like thousands of troops swarming with all kinds of thoughts.

Today, the three major sects of the Demon Sect are confronting each other, and what he fears most is the old poisoner of the Wan Du Sect who has become a spirit. As long as he is around, the Ghost King Sect will have almost no chance of removing the Wan Du Sect from the Demon Sect's third sect. He was pulled down from his position as a faction leader. But now, this old poisonous person who once seemed like he would never die has died so quietly!

The Ghost King took a deep breath, returned his gaze to Taoist Cangsong's face, and suddenly smiled and said: "Senior Poison God is a highly respected senior of our holy religion. This unfortunate death is really sad." He said in his mouth.

Words of condolences, but there is no hint of sadness in the smile.

The Cangsong Taoist standing opposite him also had an indifferent look on his face. It was obvious that neither of them had any nostalgia for the dead old man.

"However," the Ghost King seemed to show a hint of caution, "I had never heard of this news before I came here! In the past three days, although Wan Du Sect was very calm, no news was revealed at all."

Cangsong Taoist smiled and said with a hint of disdain: "After the old man died, although Qin Wuyan was ordered to take over as the leader of the sect, the other disciples who rushed back to see him die refused to give up. For the sake of the sect leader,

They continued to quarrel, and temporarily suppressed the news of the old man's death. Now, except for a few worshipers including me, most of the disciples of Wan Du Sect still don't know about this."

The ghost king understood what he was like as soon as he heard it. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He pondered for a moment and said to Taoist Cangsong: "This matter is not a trivial matter. The Taoist told me this, which shows your kindness. I am very grateful."

Cangsong Taoist smiled and said, "I don't dare."

The Ghost King's eyes flashed and he said, "Does the Taoist Master have anything else to say? But it doesn't hurt to say it?"

Taoist Cangsong snorted and said: "The sect leader is a heroic leader with great talent and great strategy, so I will not go around in circles. There is no place for me, Cangsong, in the Wandu Sect now. I hope the sect master will remember that we met back then and take him in with me."

"

The Ghost King said in astonishment: "What are you saying, Taoist Priest? I can't even hope for someone like Taoist Priest. I have longed for him for many years. It's just that Taoist Priest has always been in a high position in Wandu Sect, and he is also a member of the Holy Cult.

I dare not invite you rashly. Could it be that something has changed since the death of Senior Poison God?"

Cangsong Taoist nodded and said: "The sect leader's eyes are like a torch. The Poison God is indeed good to me, but that Qin Wuyan has always been at odds with me. Moreover, this time everyone from the Wandu Sect is competing for position, and the masters in the sect are all fighting against each other on the top of the mountain. From my point of view,

Come on, even if someone can dominate the Poison Sect and secure his position, his vitality will be severely damaged, and he can't fight for a day."

The Ghost King laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the wilderness. After a moment, he stopped his smile and said seriously: "Taoist, don't worry, Qin Wuyan, a kid with a yellow mouth, doesn't know the Taoist, please ask the Taoist."

Come to my Ghost King Sect, deign to worship me, do everything from your heart, and have no worries."

Taoist Cangsong looked happy, nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Master."

The Ghost King smiled and nodded, his eyes flashed, and said: "Since the Taoist Master and I are already a family, I would like to take the liberty of asking the Taoist Master for advice. I dare to ask the Poison God's disciples, who is the most promising to inherit the position of the sect leader?"

Cangsong pondered for a long time and said: "Although the masters in the sect are divided and facing each other, in my opinion, Qin Wuyan has the best chance of winning in the end. Although this person is young, he has a deep scheming mind and has the true inheritance of the Poison God. He cannot

Underestimated. It’s just that he was injured by Ghost Li in the Western Death Lake a few months ago. He heard that the demonic power of the Blood-devouring Bead was unparalleled and penetrated deep into the bone marrow. He has not recovered yet, so several of his senior brothers took advantage of the situation. Otherwise, he would

With his abilities, those incompetent senior brothers are far from his opponents."

The Ghost King was startled. Although Gui Li's ambush of Qin Wuyan was also on the verge of death, Gui Li did not disclose it to the outside world, and he knew nothing about it. This time, he suddenly heard Cangsong Taoist say this, and he was very upset.

He couldn't help but pass by Gui Li's figure, his eyes filled with light.

His gaze was so intense that even Cangsong Taoist was shocked and said in astonishment: "Sect Master, what's wrong?"

The Ghost King reacted, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect that the Ghost Li I cultivated has become a great weapon now, and I am very happy in my heart."

Cangsong Taoist glanced at him, his expression was as usual, and he said nothing more, but the figure of Zhang Xiaofan who was at the top of Qingyun Mountain ten years ago suddenly appeared in his mind. Thinking of the Ghost King's expression just now, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Huqishan, the main hall of the Ghost King Sect.

Falling from the sky, the magic wand flashing with green light flew silently back into his sleeve, and Gui Li's figure once again appeared in front of the entrance of the Ghost King Sect's main hall.

Several disciples of the Ghost King Sect guarding the door were startled, and then they quickly stepped aside, shouting: "Deputy Sect Master."

Gui Li didn't say anything, and walked straight in with no expression on his face. Xiao Hui lay on his shoulder, looking around as usual, but after a while he looked away. After all, this place was too important to him.

Too familiar.

Gui Li slowly walked back to his room and opened the stone door. Everything in the room was exactly the same as before he left. It seemed that no one had moved at all. He stood in the room for a long time, as if thinking about something, with an expression on his face.

There was a rare trace of hesitation and fear in his heart. Xiao Hui jumped off his shoulder, jumped onto the bed two or three times, and went to play by himself.

Gui Li pressed his lips together tightly, sighed suddenly, as if he had made some determination, turned around and walked out, then walked towards the ice stone chamber deep in the mountain.

Along the way, they met many disciples of the Ghost King Sect, but for the deputy sect leader who disappeared for a long time and then suddenly appeared, they all bowed their heads and walked away. In their eyes, it seemed that it was better to stay as far away from this man as possible. But Ghost

Li obviously didn't pay attention to the attitudes of these people. He just walked forward silently. His room was not far from the Ice Stone Chamber. He quickly walked to the stone chamber and saw the figure standing outside the stone chamber.

.

Yuji.

A thought suddenly crossed Gui Li's mind: Why does it seem that every time he comes to see Baguio, Youji seems to be standing outside this stone chamber? It seems that she really has feelings for Baguio...

Just when he was thinking this, You Ji seemed to hear the sound of footsteps. When she looked up, she didn't seem to expect that Gui Li would suddenly appear, and her body was slightly shaken.

Gui Li silently nodded to her as a greeting, then walked past her and walked towards the door of the Ice Stone Chamber.

Under the black veil, Youji was silent.

Just when Gui Li was about to reach out and push the stone door open, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at You Ji, and said: "You..."

He rarely talked to You Ji, and now he suddenly didn't know how to address You Ji.

Youji said calmly: "Whatever Baguio calls me, you should also call me!"

Gui Li was silent, as if something had touched his mind. There was a bit of silence between the two of them, but finally Gui Li spoke and said: "Aunt You, when I left last time, I asked the Holy Envoy of the Azure Dragon to send the ashes of the great wizard back to the south.

Xinjiang…”

Youji Heisha clicked twice and whispered: "Don't worry, the eldest brother has sent it, but for some reason, he hasn't heard back yet." As he said that, although Youji's expression could not be seen, she could not see her expression. There was still a hint of rare anxiety in her voice, "The beasts and monsters are raging in southern Xinjiang recently. Although my brother is a profound man, I don't know why he hasn't come back yet."

Gui Li frowned, was silent for a moment, and said, "Don't worry! The Holy Envoy of the Azure Dragon is very powerful, and those beasts and monsters can't do anything to him." He paused, and said, "Then I'll go in."

Youji nodded silently and said no more.

"Boom".

The heavy stone door made a deep sound, opened and closed behind him, and Gui Li was once again in the ice stone chamber, silently looking at that peaceful and beautiful figure.

Silks of white air floating gently from the ice floated in the air one by one, swimming slowly, making people feel vaguely unreal. On the smooth ground, you can still vaguely see the original air. The remnants of the thrilling "soul-inducing" witchcraft, with its dim red color, seemed to have quietly blended into the stone at this moment.

For some reason, Gui Li's lips began to tremble slightly. Slowly, he walked over step by step, stepping on the traces of residual red, passing through the faint white smoke, and Baguio's peaceful face appeared in front of him.

As if she had never changed, looking at her like this, she was still the beautiful girl she first met ten years ago...

Gui Li's body was shaking even more violently. In front of the stone platform in Baguio, he leaned down little by little. In the stone room, there was a faint choking sound that he tried desperately to suppress but could not suppress in the end.

Suddenly, Gui Li swung his body and slapped himself hard with a backhand palm. The loud sound after the slap on his palm and face immediately echoed in the stone room. The man's pain and regret seemed to be the only one. Only then can I vent a little bit.

"I'm sorry, Baguio, I'm sorry..." That deep voice, trying its best to suppress its own voice, whispered and repeated in such a low voice.

After an unknown amount of time, the tranquility restored in the stone chamber was broken again, and the stone door was opened. The silver-haired ghost king slowly walked in and stood behind Gui Li. Gui Li's body next to Baguio moved. , stood up slowly, then turned back and looked.

The two men's eyes met, but they were both startled. What Gui Li saw was the ghost king's white hair, but what the ghost king saw were the five fingerprints that slowly appeared on Gui Li's face.

"You're back." The Ghost King's voice sounded a little strange. It was plain, but there was a hint of relief, but there was another weird feeling that couldn't be explained.

Gui Li nodded silently. The Ghost King had obviously long been accustomed to Gui Li's character and didn't care. He said, "Come here with me! There is an old acquaintance who I think you should meet, and our Ghost King Sect There is going to be a big event here soon."

Gui Li was slightly surprised. He obviously didn't know who this so-called old acquaintance was, but judging from his appearance, he didn't want to know given his current state of mind. He turned his head and glanced at Baguio again, as if he wanted to take a deep look at this pale face. In his eyes, it never changed again. Then, he turned around and walked out.

The Ghost King also turned his eyes gently on his daughter, with a kind look in his eyes, and then withdrew. When he turned around, no one could see that weakness anymore.

You Ji was still standing outside the door, and Gui Li was waiting in front. The Ghost King took two steps, suddenly turned to You Ji and said, "You come too!"

Youji nodded slightly and followed.

The three people left the Ice Stone Chamber, walked through the winding corridor, and arrived at a secluded house deep in the mountain. The Ghost King opened the door first and walked in. Ghost Li followed him into the stone chamber, and saw that the stone chamber was already full of people.

There were two people, one of whom was masked in black gauze and was none other than the mysterious Mr. Ghost; the other, with a square face in a Taoist robe, turned out to be Taoist Cangsong.

When they heard the sound of footsteps, Taoist Cangsong and Mr. Ghost also turned their heads to look.

When the eyes of Gui Li and Taoist Cangsong met, both of them were stunned. Ten years of time seemed to have suddenly stopped, and it seemed like God was mockingly playing a ruthless joke on people. The people at the top of Qingyun Mountain back then! Now!

We met under such circumstances.

Who is controlling everything in the dark?
