Among the four regions: the Northern Territory, the Eastern Wilderness Territory, the Southern Imperial Territory, and the Western Desert, the Western Desert is the most dangerous.
Not only because the ownerless oases dotted in the vast land of Xicui Desert are often haunted by extremely high-level monsters, but also because there are rumors that there are unknown and terrifying existences underground in Xichui Desert. Even Xichui Desert itself is...
It exists to seal and suppress unknown terror.
No one knows when the monsters that haunt the depths of the oasis and the unknown horrors buried underground will suddenly appear.
But as time goes by, fewer and fewer people live in the Xicui Desert, and the countless legends that once were there are naturally gradually lost. The only people who still live in the Xicui Desert and have not left are those who voluntarily came here to guard against the human race.
Apart from the monks on the border and the businessmen who came to do business, there were only the elderly who were unwilling to leave their hometown.
Because of this, there are not many people left in the huge Xicui Desert, which has also caused the originally prosperous Xicui Desert to become desolate everywhere, except for "Fuyang City", which is located on the border and next to the main transportation road.
It's quite lively.
Passing through the layers of woods in the uninhabited valley, staring at the scorching sun that never seems to set, passing through the endless yellow sand desert beneath my feet, I finally saw teams of carriages and horses galloping on a small and narrow road.
When we were on the stone road, the scenery in front of us finally changed from the endless yellow sand to the city of Fuyang very close at hand.
Looking at it, Fuyang City, as a town at the junction of humans and demons, looks a bit old and lonely, but the tall and thick city wall built between two mountains still gives people an extremely shocking impact.
When the monks who followed the caravan or volunteered to come to the city to guard the borders walked to the gate of Fuyang City, they looked at the gate that was also very tall and heavy, and could even faintly smell the fumes coming from the gate
The strong and old smell of blood.
Obviously Fuyang City has indeed resisted many invasions by monsters or demons.
There are soldiers guarding the city gate. They were sent here by the dynasty that once controlled the entire Xichui Desert before its decline. After its decline, they were unwilling to leave again. They are now old.
Even though the dynasty has disappeared in the rolling tide of history, these old soldiers have transformed into guards in the city, specially guarding the city gates and in front of the city gates in order to check the identity of everyone who enters the city.
This is to prevent demons from taking the opportunity to disguise themselves and sneak into the city.
After leaving the Uninhabited Valley, Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao now transformed into two middle-aged couples, carrying slightly artificial packages. They allowed themselves to be inspected by the guards in front of the city gate before entering safely.
To the city.
The only surprise was that the guards who did not notice the disguise of the two stopped them when they were about to enter the city and said, "There are many monks in the city, please be careful."
Unexpectedly, the other party was admonishing themselves. Cao Chuan and Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded towards the guards, and then slowly walked into the city.
Entering the city of Fuyang, you can see old houses everywhere mixed with inns or shops built by businessmen.
As well as the wanted portraits of Cao Chuan that have circulated widely in the city during this period.
The wanted portrait also focuses on the description of Cao Chuan as a demon villain who is good at disguising himself and then mingling with the human race in an attempt to harm the human race.
The reward below it has even reached a full 100,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.
Rewards with such high rewards are extremely rare, so as soon as you enter the city, you can see a lot of monks gathered in front of the wanted poster, and they talk to each other from time to time about how to find Cao Chuan and arrest him.
"I came from the Southern Emperor Territory, and the name of Cao Chuan does sound familiar."
"But I heard that this Cao Chuan was a loner since he was a child. He later became a monk after being spotted by Tianhe Holy Land. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems with his bloodline."
"Furthermore, I heard that this Cao Chuan was spotted by Elder Wu of the Tianling Academy when he was still in the Tianhe Holy Land. I think Elder Wu's eyesight should not be able to tell whether Cao Chuan is true or false, right?
What's more, we all know that Elder Wu is not a demon."
"So this wanted notice is fake?"
"Don't be ridiculous. This wanted order was issued by Tianlingyuan. Who has the guts to pretend to be Tianlingyuan?"
"Then is this Cao Chuan a spy of the demon clan? I'm almost stunned by what you said."
"Hey! You don't care whether he is a real demon or a fake demon. I only know that if I capture Cao Chuan and send him to Tianlingyuan, I can get 100,000 middle-grade spiritual stones. I don't believe that none of you are unmoved.
of?"
Such a sentence suddenly rang out in the crowd, and everyone who was still talking about it immediately became silent.
Because they knew that what the other party said was true. They were all monks, and what monks needed most during cultivation was spiritual stones. Without spiritual stones, they would be unable to move forward.
An ordinary monk is considered rich if he can possess dozens of low-grade spiritual stones, but the reward written on the wanted order is a full 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.
No matter how pure-hearted and reticent you are, you will inevitably be blinded by such a high reward.
Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao, who had already entered Fuyang City, naturally heard these people's discussion about themselves.
The face under disguise frowned slightly and turned a little ugly.
Wen Jinghao noticed the hatred emanating from the people around her, and quickly reached out to pat the back of Cao Chuan's hand, whispering comfort: "Mr. Cao, you have always been very calm, and you should also understand that a little impatience can ruin a big plan. Now we are
This is the situation. If we can't help but expose ourselves at this time, then we will really have no way to escape."
"call!"
Taking a long breath, Cao Chuan calmed down the anger in his heart, resisted the urge to rush forward to explain himself, and said to Wen Jinghao in a gradually soothing tone: "Miss Wen, you are right, if in this situation
If we expose ourselves at that time, it will undoubtedly bring disaster to our lives, so we will never be able to avenge ourselves."
"But I still worry that we won't be able to hide our identities for too long."
Looking at the golden plaque of the Liuli Tianbao Pavilion that actually has a semicolon in the Xichui Desert, Cao Chuan frowned again and said worriedly: "Although Fuyang City already has the smallest number of monks compared to the other three regions.
town, but no one can guarantee whether there are people with extremely high levels of cultivation in the city."
"Once discovered by those masters, we will inevitably die."
"Liu Chen...but he hates me very much..."
Wen Jing was speechless. She knew that Cao Chuan was right. No one could guarantee whether there would be monks in the Purple Mansion Realm or even the Yuanshen Realm in Fuyang City.
But the two of them had no choice.
As the saying goes, make peace with what you have come to, and after calming down for a while, the two finally found an inn run by ordinary people to take a break.
On the first night, neither of them slept well. They were always worried that they would be found by Liu Chen the next day.
The next night, the two of them slept very peacefully. They had already figured out that if they kept worrying about their life and death like this, it would be better to die. They would not be able to calm down and practice while looking around, let alone practice.
There is a chance for revenge when you improve your realm.
So on the third and even the fourth and fifth days, the two of them still ate well, slept well, and practiced carefully in the guest room.
This life continued until one night on the tenth day.
This night was a bit strange, because it rarely rained in the Xicui Desert. Although the rain was not heavy, there was a lot of noise outside the window.
Wen Jinghao had finished practicing and was lying on the bed sleeping, but Cao Chuan, who had greatly improved his five senses after breaking through to the Divine Treasure Realm, could not fall asleep.
But it wasn't because of the patter of rain outside the window, but because there was another mysterious person hiding in the darkness standing in his room at this moment.
Moreover, the other party's body constantly exuded a desire to get closer to him, which made Cao Chuan feel strange and slowly get goosebumps all over his body.
"Did Liu Chen find me so quickly?"
"There was no sound at Miss Wen's place. Could it be that Miss Wen has been taken away? Was it actually a monk above the Zifu realm who took action?"
While watching the people in the darkness approaching him, Cao Chuan imagined every possibility and his escape plan in his mind.
But at this moment, the person hiding in the darkness seemed to notice that Cao Chuan wanted to escape, so he stopped approaching, just stood there, and then said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you.
I just have a few questions to ask you."
An old voice.
Still a woman.
Cao Chuan still didn't understand the visitor's intention, but he nodded and said, "As long as I know, I will definitely answer."
"I just want to thank you in advance."
The visitor was very polite, and after thanking him, he immediately asked: "Young man, do you know that there is a demonic evil aura in you? Do you know that this evil aura comes from the sword of the Twelve Demon Lords in ancient times?
Demon in the sky? Can you tell me how you got it?"
Three questions in a row convinced Cao Chuan that tonight's visitor had no hostility towards him.
After just thinking for a moment, he thought of a coincidence.
Therefore, Cao Chuan did not rush to answer the other party's question. Instead, while recalling the memory fragments of Yu Tianxing that he had seen in the Sword Demon Secret Book, Cao Chuan tentatively said to the visitor: "If the junior did not guess wrong, the senior should
Is she the woman named Su Ange that Senior Yu Tianxing remembers?"
"and···"
"You are the grandma those people call me. That's why you left the No Man's Valley and came to Fuyang City to find me, right?"
"you···"
Unexpectedly, Cao Chuan not only refused to answer his question, but even turned his own army against him. Su Ange's slightly widened eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly calmed down and replied: "You are very smart. What you just said
All those words are correct, I am indeed the Su Ange you mentioned, and I am also the grandma of those little guys."
"But now it's your turn to answer my question, right?"
Su Ange still couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, so she immediately walked out of the darkness and stood directly by the bed, staring at Cao Chuan with cold eyes.
This made Cao Chuan feel more at ease. Su Ange's reaction had convinced him that the senior in front of him would definitely not kill him.
Because the love between her and Yu Tianxing not only did not disappear with the passage of time, but instead became deeper and deeper, making it difficult to forget.
Cao Chuan, who was completely relaxed, sat on the bed with the old god present, but did not dare to continue pretending. He immediately used his spiritual power to wrap the black broken sword in the depths of the sea of consciousness and the equally incomplete secret book of the sword demon to make them appear.
In front of Su Ange.
At the same time, he said: "This is the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Sword Demon Secret Book that I got in a secret realm. The reason why I know the identity of senior is because of these two things. When I got them, I had already seen the identity of senior Yu Tianxing."
Part of the memory happens to be related to you, senior."
"So, you are not Yu Tianxing." Su Ange's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of murderous intent.
"It turns out that senior regarded me as senior Yu Tianxing." Cao Chuan continued very calmly: "But senior should know that people are born, old, sick and die, not to mention that senior Yu Tianxing violated the rules of the demon clan, so senior Yu Tianxing's
Death is doomed, and don’t seniors know that junior is the one posted on the wall?"
"The one posted on the wall?"
"So that guy is you?" Su Ange had no intention of killing Cao Chuan. After hearing what Cao Chuan said, he was even more shocked and said: "You are the one who is wanted by Tianlingyuan, and the wanted orders are almost all over the four regions.
Cao Chuan?"
Before Cao Chuan could respond, Su Ange, who seemed to have thought of something, immediately lowered his head and murmured to himself: "This makes sense. It turns out that the evil spirit of Tianxing broke out in your body, so you were considered a demon.
You are a member of the clan, so Tianlingyuan issued a wanted order to catch you."
"Senior is wrong."
"Huh? What did you say?" Su Ange was confused. She didn't understand how Cao Chuan could be regarded as a demon other than this.
"Even if there is no senior Yu Tianxing, the junior will still become the demon on the wanted posters."
Cao Chuan smiled and said the answer: "But one thing is true. At that time, I was fighting with Liu Chen. With my level of cultivation in the Divine Treasure Realm, I naturally would not be that guy's opponent. But when I was seriously injured, Yu
Senior Tianxing's evil spirit controlled the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Sword Demon Secret Book to help me seriously injure Liu Chen, so the picture in the secret photo stone became that I finally couldn't pretend anymore and completely exposed the truth about myself as a demon."
"Junior said this, senior, do you understand?"
"That's natural."
Su Ange nodded, and the evil aura that emerged from his body just now dissipated, replaced by the kindness of an elder to a younger generation. He also said: "That's because Tianxing's evil aura contains a consciousness from his lifetime, so
When you are fatally injured, Tianxing's consciousness will control the Demon Sword and the Sword Demon Secret Code to protect you, but only that time."
"But from what you said, it seems like you haven't started practicing the Sword Demon Secret Book yet, right?"
"I was busy escaping and healing, so I naturally didn't have time to practice the Sword Demon Secret Code."
Cao Chuan, who didn't expect Su Ange to make a joke, smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "What's more, I'm from the human race. If I really practice the secrets of the demon race, do you think that the younger generation will never be able to see people with their true colors?"
"
"Hahahaha, you little guy is quite interesting." Su Ange smiled and said, "Since you have received the inheritance from Tianxing, you should also know that the Sword Demon Secret Book is actually the secret of the secret technique created by Tianxing himself, right?"
Seeing Cao Chuan nod, Su Ange continued: "The Sword Demon Secret Book does sound very similar to the secrets of the demon clan's skills. In addition, you still have part of the evil spirit of the Demon Sword in your body, so you feel that practicing Sword Demon
The secret book will completely turn you into a demon, but it won’t actually be like this.”
"The Secret Code of Sword Demon is just the name, but Tianxing once told me back then that one of the purposes of practicing the Secret Code of Sword Demon is to contain the evil spirit in the body, or at least cover up the evil spirit, so you should practice the Secret Code of Sword Demon as soon as possible."
"But it looks like your injury hasn't been completely healed yet."
"So what are you going to do, senior?" Cao Chuan was lying on the bed, still looking carefree.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask you if you want to go to the Uninhabited Valley to practice with me." Su Ange finally said the purpose of coming here: "Since you have inherited the mantle of Tianxing, then you can be regarded as Tianxing's apprentice. As long as you
You nod, and I will take you to practice in the Uninhabited Valley and teach you how to practice the Sword Demon Secret Code and control the Demon Sword."
But Cao Chuan did not respond to this proposal, he just lay on the bed and looked at the roof.
Su Ange was not in a hurry, just stood by the bed and waited quietly.
"Senior, what level of cultivation are you at?"
Until Cao Chuan suddenly asked such an unexpected question.
Su Ange was obviously stunned when he heard this question, but then he covered his mouth and chuckled.
Laughter reached his ears, and Cao Chuan turned to look at Su Ange in confusion.
He had just checked that Su Ange had almost no spiritual energy in his body, but since the other party could sneak into Fuyang City or even his own room silently, he did not underestimate Su Ange, but he did not think that Su Ange would be so powerful.
.
"Little guy, your eyes have betrayed your inner thoughts."
Perhaps because Cao Chuan inherited Yu Tianxing's mantle, Su Ange's attitude towards Cao Chuan changed. He actually patted Cao Chuan on the head as if he were an elder, and then explained: "Your disguise secret
Techniques can cover up your aura and realm, but in my eyes it's like it doesn't exist, so what kind of cultivation realm do you think I am?"
"As for the Liu Chen you mentioned... I have known this person for a long time."
"How about this."
Su Ange looked at Cao Chuan and said word by word: "As long as you are willing to call me Master's Wife and follow me back to No Man's Valley to practice, I will go to Zhongzhou to help you kill Liu Chen, how about that?"
