The spirit of the post-war riots remained in the sky above Yaoguang City. In just a few hours, dark clouds gathered and heavy rain poured down.
Cheng Yuan stood on the city gate, overlooking the rain-washed land below.
"After the mud, all the blood stains have been washed away, but the killings here will not be forgotten." Cheng Yan murmured.
A small black turtle crawled slowly on the city wall in front of me. Lingfu grass was lying on the back of the turtle, letting the rainwater irrigate it, shaking the leaves from time to time to make them shine.
"Ah Yuan, this is how the world is." Ji Qiuyu beside him said softly: "When I was young, my father left the place where he was born and raised because of clan disputes. At that time, I understood that even if he became a cultivator, he would not be able to survive.
Disputes and killings are inevitable. Where there are many people, there will be more disputes... After all, it is just for Tianchu's few spiritual resources."
"In the war between immortals and demons tens of thousands of years ago, the demons finally retreated to the demon world. Now that the immortals and demons are fighting, they also want to expel the demons."
Cheng Yan shook his head when he heard this: "This is different. Tianchu has been competing for spiritual resources, but there are only so many. And as far as I know, the demon world has rich spiritual resources..."
"You mean, they plan to rob the demon world of spiritual resources?"
Cheng Yan looked at Ji Qiuyu: "It is unknown why the two clans fought in the first place. But after so many years, if what they wanted was to expel the demon clan, there would be no rise of demon masters."
"Perhaps because the gate to the demon world is closed, these demons have become defeated captives." Ji Qiuyu said and smoothly retrieved the little black turtle that almost fell off the city wall.
Defeated and captured.
Cheng Yan suddenly understood what His Highness Qi said that this battle was inevitable.
The demons also have their own dignity. They have been pressed into the ground and rubbed for thousands of years. They have become the demons of the demon masters and are sealed in the demon lock tower. They are like rats crossing the street and everyone suppresses them.
For so many years, standing in the position of demons, they have lost their freedom and dignity. If given a chance, will they rise up to resist and take revenge on the demon master, thus starting another war between immortals and demons?
And this opportunity seems to be just around the corner.
Cheng Yuan suddenly shuddered. She realized that what she had thought before was too simple. What the young master of the demon world has to bear is far more than just opening the door to the demon world.
"Ah Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Ji Qiuyu saw something was wrong with Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yan shook his head: "Qiu Yu, I'm going to practice."
"Ah?"
Why did you roll it up again?
"The Honghu Competition is suspended and will not resume until Yaoguang City restores order."
"I know." Cheng Yan pulled the Lingfu grass over, and the departing figure turned into an afterimage.
Ji Qiuyu withdrew his gaze and glanced at the little black turtle whose legs and feet were weak: "Have you noticed it too? There is a terrifying aura on Ah Yun's body."
The black turtle's small mung bean-sized eyes were full of fear.
……
[Eagle Strikes the Sky: The Catastrophe of Yaoguang City in the West: The great demon escaping from Central Continent brings thousands of demons to sweep Yaoguang City.
On the occasion of Yaoguang City's great swan competition, thousands of swans competed with the demon masters to protect Yaoguang City to the death.
In the end, the demon clan was defeated, and the leader of the Yuyao Hall was seriously injured and almost fell.
Today in the West is tomorrow in the four realms and five places. I hope all cities will be on alert. Once traces of the monsters are discovered, report them to the Yuyuantang immediately!]
This "Eagle Strikes the Sky" from the West Pole spread throughout Tianchu in a very short time.
At first, all places were on alert for a sneak attack by the demon clan, but after a few months, the group of demons who escaped from the demon lock tower disappeared and were nowhere to be found.
As a result, many demon control masters began to scold Zhongzhou, blaming them for their poor supervision, which caused the big demon to escape and caused Xiji to be harmed.
For a time, the relationship between West Pole and Central China became increasingly bad.
Another day, for unknown reasons, a group of demon control masters who hated demons not only tortured their contracted demons to death in Yaoguang City in front of everyone, but also killed demons on sight.
"How could it be like this?" Cheng Yuan's Xiaoyao Clinic was smashed to pieces again. Fortunately, there were only a few tables and chairs and no one was there.
Ji Qiuyu sighed: "This is not bad. I heard that some demon masters who defended their own demons were also chased and intercepted by a group of insane demon masters, forcing them to kill their contracted demons." p>
"They are taking the opportunity to cause trouble." Cheng Yan: "This matter is very strange. It seems that there is an invisible hand manipulating this matter behind the scenes."
"Yes, demon masters who hate demons will only contract more demons to enslave them. Such people are reluctant to kill demons."
"The demon control sect has existed for thousands of years, and demon riots have occurred not once or twice. They mobilized troops this time, obviously not just to kill demons to vent their anger." Cheng Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Some people want to fish in troubled waters."
Ji Qiuyu nodded: "Fortunately, most of the demon control sects did not participate in this killing."
"You mean those demon control masters are all casual cultivators?"
Ji Qiuyu nodded.
Where did the casual cultivators come from? Cheng Yan suddenly remembered that Zhongzhou was called the Central Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Before she could go to His Highness Qi to explain the details, His Highness Qi sent her a transmission note, telling her that something was fishy and that he would go to Central Continent first.
"Hey!" Cheng Yan sighed.
"But what happened to His Highness Qi?" Ji Qiuyu asked.
Cheng Yan shook his head: "I just feel that my cultivation level is too low and I can't do anything to help."
"You are already very good. By the way, the finals have started again. It is said that we are going to a dangerous place in the Colored Stone Valley, outside the Shifang Demon Realm."
"What did you say?" Cheng Yan was shocked.
Soon, Cheng Yan received an announcement on his demon control order.
The final of the Honghu Competition in the West Pole is about fighting monsters.
Fifty contract talismans are distributed to each person, and the top 1,000 are selected as the winner based on the level, level, quantity, and rarity of the contracted monsters, who are above the third level of the contract.
List.
Cheng Yan felt thunder rolling from the sky.
It seems that Xiaobai and the others were discovered hiding in the Shifang Demon Realm.
The Royal Demon Hall is probably taking advantage of this Hongshu Competition to go to the Shifang Demon Realm to find out what’s going on in an open and honest manner.
……
No matter how anxious Cheng Yuan was, a few days later she and everyone else boarded Yaoguang City's exclusive flying boat to Colorful Stone Valley.
Due to the large number of people, they did not have the opportunity to be assigned to a room, so they were crowded on the deck with most of the demon masters.
"Come on, little one, let me give you some candy."
"Wow, it's so cute. This doll has beautiful eyes."
"Look at how well-behaved he is. He doesn't cry or make trouble. I'll give you a spiritual stone to play with."
A confused-looking doll attracted the attention of many female demon masters.
The baby was frightened by the enthusiasm of the female nuns. She stood up and walked towards Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yuan reached out and hugged him, cast apologetic looks at the female cultivators, and set up an isolation barrier for him, blocking everyone's eyes.
"Arui, take a rest when you are tired from playing and stop running around." Cheng Yan placed him on a grass mat made of Lingfu grass leaves.
Ari blinked his big, confused eyes and reached out to her again: "Hug, hug!"
Cheng Yan put his finger on his forehead: "Be obedient."
Ari pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry.
Cheng Yan is still unmoved, but his heart is completely soft. Who can resist such a pitiful little thing!
I don’t know how His Highness Qi has been raising him during this time, but Ari has become more and more beautiful.
It’s just this temperament, it’s waxy, it needs to be changed.
"Be obedient! Go to sleep! When you wake up, it's time to get to your place!"
Ari had no choice but to put down his hands and turn around. His little shoulders were twitching, and he huddled in the straw mat and closed his eyes to sleep.
After a while, there was the sound of gentle breathing.
