Shi Mu had been drifting in the turbulent flow of space for an unknown amount of time. His nerves, which were a little tense at first, gradually relaxed.
When I think about following Yan Luo into the Black Demon Star Territory and dealing with so many great powers in the divine realm, thinking back on it now, I still feel like I am dreaming, a little unreal.
In any case, I have gained a lot this time. Among the demon-slaying tokens, I have accumulated a lot of black demons from the holy and heavenly ranks alone, not to mention the two of them, Di Zhe and Chi Bie.
The divine realm is powerful.
Speaking of which, these two guys are really unlucky. If it weren't for the fact that the way of enlightenment of the two gods was forcibly extracted by Yanluo, resulting in a sharp decline in their cultivation realm, and they happened to have the Tianji Staff Scabbard, the number one refiner in Kunlun at that time.
The spiritual treasure that Master Shuzi had worked so hard to refine, there was no way he could take advantage of it.
But I have to think of a suitable reason, otherwise even Saint Ancestor Qinglan will be so shocked that his jaw will drop if he finds out!
Of course, the biggest gain of this trip is that this incarnation of my own body, by chance, actually absorbed a god-level corpse whose strength was no less than that of the former Lord of Kunlun. Now its cultivation level is higher than mine.
So a piece.
It seems that after I return this time, I have to be well prepared to hit the holy level, otherwise I will not even be as good as my own incarnation in the future, but it is really unreasonable.
Just when Shi Mu was thinking wildly, a colorful light suddenly burst out in front of him, filling his vision.
When his vision recovered and the scenery gradually became clearer, he suddenly found that he had appeared in a vast starry sky.
The golden light flashed in his eyes, and he scanned around to confirm that he should have returned to the Miyang Star Territory at this moment, and appeared high above the Black Demon Clan's stronghold of Floating Island City.
Because not far to his right, he could clearly see the black light flashing and the demonic energy rolling, which was where the space passage was.
But now, the black demon guards who were originally patrolling around the place have disappeared, and even the spherical light curtain that originally wrapped this place has disappeared.
After scanning with his spiritual consciousness, he discovered that the entire floating island city was now empty of people and had completely become an empty city.
Shi Mu thought about it for a moment and then understood.
The two tribes of Shi Wuya and Yun Lu were forced to come to the Miyang Star Territory through the space channel to avoid the invasion and war of the ancient barbarians. Now that the matter has been resolved, they naturally no longer need to stay here.
I just don’t know what the people of the three holy places will think when they learn that the black demon clan that has troubled them for many years suddenly retreated and retreated so completely.
He took a deep look at the space passage, then turned around, summoned the Dragon Feather Speeder, and flew away from the Floating Island City.
Three days later.
In the Pumice Star Sea, the people stationed at the three holy places were surprised to find that the Black Demon Clan was not performing any conspiracy this time, but had actually withdrawn from the Miyang Star Territory.
Not only is there not even a single figure of the Black Demons in the occupied planets in the entire star field, even their stronghold, the Floating Island City, is the same.
This scene actually disappointed many people who had accepted the Demon Slaying Order mission and rushed to the front line with great interest, hoping to accumulate merit by hunting down the black demons.
However, while the senior officials of the three major holy places were puzzled, they were also ecstatic.
In a main hall of the Floating City Fortress, more than ten holy beings from the three holy places gathered here.
The saint-level elders of the three major holy places stood together. There was vague hostility between them, and the atmosphere was tense. No one spoke for a while.
"Everyone, what do you think of the sudden retreat of the Black Demons?" An old man in green robes at the late stage of the Holy Order in Qinglan Holy Land said with a dry cough.
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu has always been superior to others in his knowledge. Why don't we make some high-level remarks first." A black-faced man from the Zhuyun Sword Sect said coldly.
When the green-bearded old man heard the other party's obviously thorny words, his face darkened, as if a layer of frost had covered his face.
"Everyone, we are discussing the matter of the Black Demon Clan together today. Please don't involve others. The matter of the Black Demon Clan has been involved for so many years, and similar incidents have not happened during this period. It must be treated with caution." A member of the Lichen Sect.
The middle-aged man with a maroon face said in a deep voice.
This person's cultivation has reached the peak of the holy level, and he is the strongest among the people present.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the black-faced man from the Zhuyun Sword Sect snorted coldly, and his expression calmed down a bit.
"What Fellow Daoist Ge said is true. The Black Demons suddenly withdrew their troops. We still cannot rule out that they are hiding other conspiracies. Since we were sent here by the sect, we need to be responsible for everything on the front line. Let's put aside some personal grudges and discuss countermeasures.
." A young woman in white robe from Zhuyun Sword Sect said.
"What do you think, fellow Taoist Yun?" The middle-aged man with a maroon face from the Lichen Sect looked over.
The young woman in white robe pondered for a moment, then said: "In any case, since they have left the Pumice Star Sea, our top priority is to capture the Floating Island City immediately and completely seal the space passage. In addition, I suggest that we continue to station troops here at all times.
Monitor what’s going on here.”
As soon as this statement came out, other people nodded immediately, and most of them agreed.
"Fellow Daoist Yun's words are reasonable, but the people stationed here should continue to follow the current model, with our three major holy places forming a coalition, or..." said the middle-aged man in the maroon color.
Everyone present looked at each other for a few times, but no one said anything for a while.
"Ahem! In my opinion, it would be better for our three holy places to send people in turns." The green-bearded old man from Qinglan Holy Land coughed and suggested.
"That's fine. As long as the space passage can be successfully sealed this time, only someone will be required to guard this place. There is no need for people from the three holy places to gather here." The rosy-faced middle-aged man nodded and said.
The three Holy Lands are at odds with each other, and the senior officials of these Three Holy Lands naturally understand this tacitly. The Alliance has been forced to join forces to fight against the enemy under pressure from the Black Demon Clan. At this moment, the Black Demon Clan has withdrawn its troops. As long as the situation is confirmed to be true, they naturally do not want to continue.
Face to face with people you hate every day.
"In that case, let us send the Zhuyunjian for this first round of garrison duty. Ten years later, one of you will come to take over again." The young woman in white robe said.
"Then let's do it." The green-bearded old man and the maroon-faced middle-aged man said together.
A few days later, on the square in front of Wanfa Pavilion in Qinglan Holy Land.
In the wide square, there is a high and narrow bluestone platform ten feet wide. Behind the high platform stands a huge white jade wall, with golden light shining on it and rows of small golden characters written densely on it.
On the top of the jade biscuit, there are three golden ancient seal characters written: "Demon Slayer List."
Zhao Jian's name is listed in the first line under the big characters, followed by:
"Kill four saints of the Black Demon Tribe, one hundred and ninety-seven in heaven, and the total reward will be 156,300 Mysterious Spirit Points."
The second place ranked next had only 43,600 Mysterious Spirit Point rewards, and the gap was really huge.
At this moment, in the open space below the bluestone high platform, there were more than a thousand people standing densely packed, all looking up at the high platform.
On the high platform, there were three red sandalwood carved dragon chairs, on which sat three powerful saint-level men with breaths like the sea.
One of them, carrying a long sword on his back, wearing a blue shirt, without facial hair, looked quite majestic, but he was none other than the Protector Yue who was in charge of the Qinglan Discipline Hall.
On the left side is a young girl with extremely beautiful appearance and dignified temperament. She is dressed in light blue palace clothes and looks like a clear lotus emerging from the water. She is extremely beautiful, which is in line with her reputation as the "Lotus Fairy".
On the right side of Protector Yue, there sat an old man in a golden robe with a golden dragon embroidered on it. He had a pale face and white beard and hair, but he was the elder who had previously presided over the anti-evil affairs of Qinglan disciples in Pumice Star Sea.
, Guan Shanhai.
The three of them sat calmly on the rosewood chairs, not talking to each other, but looking forward with watery eyes.
A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a ten thousand year disciple saluted the three of them, then walked to the stage and said loudly: "Now that the Black Demon Clan has been completely defeated, the Demon Slaying Order mission will also be terminated. Today is the last day.
, but there are still disciples participating in the mission who have not yet handed in their tokens?"
There was a commotion in the audience, and rustling comments could be heard everywhere, but no one came on stage.
"It seems that the number one spot must be Zhao Jian." Under the stone platform, a demon man with sharp horns on his forehead said to another young man with white hair on his face.
The white-haired young man also looked up at the white jade, nodded and said: "The winner of this mission will not only receive an additional reward of 300,000 Xuanling Points, but will also be able to meet the Holy Lord in person and receive his personal guidance.
The opportunity. That is one of the three major divine realms in our Miyang Star Territory, it is really enviable to others!"
"Let me tell you, Zhao Jian is the direct disciple of the Holy Lord. Giving him this opportunity to give personal guidance is simply a waste of natural resources. It is better to give it to the second place." The demon man said.
The man next to him covered his mouth and whispered to him: "You don't know this. When I went on a mission with Elder Tu last year, I heard him say that Holy Lord Li Sheng seemed to have been...
He was busy practicing in seclusion and rarely went out, so he probably taught very little to Zhao Jian. In these years, Zhao Jian has only been using the name of the Holy Lord's direct disciple."
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they heard the voice of the Wannian disciple coming from the stage: "Noon is approaching, and it seems that all of your fellow disciples have handed in their demon-slaying tokens. Then I announce that the third step of this demon-slaying mission is
One of them is the nephew of Zhao Jian."
When everyone in the audience heard this, they were naturally envious, and all kinds of admiration sounds could be heard from everywhere.
Of course, there are also some sour words of jealousy mixed in.
Zhao Jian's face was indifferent, without any joy at being honored, and he slowly walked up the stone steps on the left side of the high platform.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the stone platform, he heard a voice coming from the right side of the platform: "Wait a minute, I haven't handed in the demon-slaying order yet."
The voice was not loud and the tone was very calm, but it reached the ears of everyone present very clearly, causing the place to fall into silence.
Zhao Jian's face turned cold, and he stopped and looked towards the opposite side, only to see the light flashing on Shi Mu's body and falling from mid-air.
