Chapter 276 Chapter 276 I dare not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the gods in heaven...

Tiandao was numb and shocked. The human-shaped shadow incarnation of Tiandao rushed to the front of Shuijing, leaned on the front of Shuijing and looked down.

Watching the thunderbolt that it had formed strike down, it boomed towards the people around the big treasure it had picked up.

It has to be said that Cui Jiao has gained a lot of experience in the past few years.

Sensing some movement, he quickly dodged to the surroundings and left the original area in a flash.

A scorch mark was left on the ground.

Cui Jiao curled the corners of his lips and looked up at the sky angrily.

Oh, is there no one to take care of that old Deng?

Cui Jiao, who had been hit countless times by Cheng Hanqiu in heaven in the past few years, had also had his filter for the Heavenly Emperor Cheng Hanqiu smashed.

Tiandao: ...

No, you can't just throw the Heavenly Punishment whenever you want. And you should be careful. What if it hits my precious thing from such a close distance?

Yes, ever since everything was over, and the book spirit that also restricted Tiandao and imprisoned this small world, preventing Tiandao from participating too much in the decisions of this small world, was dealt with by the little cub, Tiandao, who had always been particularly fond of the super rare bloodline he brought back, now directly regarded Yan Ning as a little mascot and treasured her very much.

The new Emperor of Heaven it chose also had to stand aside.

Of course, the Way of Heaven still has some rationality.

It tried hard to block Cheng Hanqiu.

It indicates that Cheng Hanqiu’s vision cannot be so narrow.

A bit too petty.

Cheng Hanqiu chuckled.

He wore a silver battle robe, and after becoming the Emperor of Heaven, his whole body exuded an unattainable aura.

But he didn't show it at all at this moment. He simply sat on the ground and stared at Cui Jiao in the water mirror.

"I really don't know why you are so hostile to this guy."

Yu Feng, the person Cheng Hanqiu was most hostile to, was already dead. Now, essentially, there was no one left to eliminate. Cheng Hanqiu's hostility was also just his personal emotional dislike.

Tiandao was often troubled by Cheng Hanqiu's occasional bad temper.

As for Cheng Hanqiu's personality, he actually hates a lot of things, including people he hates.

Of course, you can clearly feel that the person he hated the most before was Zhu Jingfeng, who was about to ascend to heaven by practicing ghost cultivation. As little Yan Ning grew up, the person who hated the most gradually changed, and Cui Jiao slowly took over.

Cheng Hanqiu was still looking down like this, just staring.

He raised his eyebrows a little irritably.

"It better not be what I imagined."

Heavenly Dao:?

On the other side, Yan Ning looked at the marks left by lightning at his feet, suddenly looked up at the sky, and raised the elixir reward in his hand high.

Just like he had done countless times before, with bright eyes, he held up his achievements, showed off to him, and asked for praise.

In an instant, Cheng Hanqiu's expression softened again.

On the other side, Cui Jiao looked at the charred land, then looked at Yan Ning's expression, and finally glanced at the snow-white ball that Yan Ning was carrying with her.

He turned around and left without saying a word.

After Yan Ning waved her hands, she looked over again with her eyebrows raised.

"You're leaving now?"

Cui Jiao didn't reply, he had already quickly arrived outside the nearby Conglong City.

He jumped onto a poplar tree in an angry manner.

The young man, who was so exquisite that he seemed to be a bit enchanting, was dressed in red. In fact, he should have been quite eye-catching, but the passers-by seemed not to see him and ignored him lightly.

"His Majesty."

A small bat flew to the shade of the tree he was leaning against and asked in a low voice.

"Did that damned Xiu upset you again?"

This is the subordinate Cui Jiao is most familiar with after he took over the demon clan.

At this moment, he let out a light click, seeming a little annoyed.

The subordinates didn't quite understand either. It was obvious that the two of them disliked each other, but they had to get together. When they got together, they started quarreling, and in the end one of them ended up sulking.

Of course, in most cases, Cui Jiao ends up sulking.

This makes their subordinates feel nervous every time they come here.

Do you really hate Yan Ning?

If you really hate him that much, you should stay away from him——

Of course, no one dared to say or even think about teaching Yan Ning a lesson, after all, there was someone in heaven watching over her.

If this matter is not handled properly, this level of heavenly punishment will be a drop in the bucket for big monsters like Cui Jiao, but for them, it would be a bit scary. They just said it with their mouths, and their crime is not so serious.

The two of them really provoked each other.

Where does the problem come from...

"Come on, I haven't seen him for two months."

When Cui Jiao met his subordinates, it seemed that he finally had a place to vent his frustration.

His black hair fluttered back and forth in the wind, and his enchanting face was full of gloom.

"He actually has a dog in his house?"

subordinate:……

Let people keep dogs.

What's the big deal?

Nowadays, many cultivators keep some kind of spiritual pet. These are spiritual creatures that are not particularly intelligent, but they look pretty good.

And even if we take a step back, what does this have to do with you?

Cui Jiao's subordinates really didn't understand what Cui Jiao was angry about.

Cui Jiao angrily repeated, "He actually raised a dog in his own yard! He even tried to stop me before. If I hadn't insisted on playing a game of Go with him, he wouldn't have told me."

subordinate:……

"Yeah, it's really, really disgusting."

After receiving recognition, Cui Jiao stood up.

"He mistook me for a dog before. No, what kind of dog is a fox? How could he mistake me for a dog? And what's so good about dogs? They just wag their tails all day long and are so silly. I've proven many times that foxes are better than dogs."

subordinate:……

"no."

Cui Jiao turned over and stood up.

"Yan Ning is staying with that stupid dog now. I have to go and take a look. I have to solve this matter."

So why do you care so much about foxes and dogs?!

There was a gloom in Cui Jiao's eyes.

Looks a bit fierce.

He spoke very softly, whispering softly.

"Yan Ning——"

The wind blew, the leaves swayed, and there was a rustling sound. A young man in a crimson robe hid among the lush leaves in the shade of the trees. His delicate and devilish face looked another kind of weird and terrifying.

In addition, the two have always been at loggerheads with each other, and their reputations outside are even more like one chasing the other, as if they are mortal enemies. When mentioning the young demon king Cui Jiao, one will think of his mortal enemy Yan Ning from the righteous path, and the same is true when mentioning Yan Ning.

If you don't understand the cause and effect, it is easy to cause some misunderstandings.

For example, right now——

"Your Majesty the Demon King."

Someone found Cui Jiao, who was standing under a tree.

Cui Jiao had long noticed the man approaching, and he was already feeling a bit impatient, which reached its peak when the other party spoke.

He lowered his eyes, his pair of scarlet fox eyes filled with gloom, staring at the monk standing under the tree.

The monk's face was still pale and disheveled.

It seemed that he was hurriedly recovering from a serious injury, and then he got the trace of Cui Jiao, so he hurriedly appeared here.

This person was Feizhi, who was full of confidence and wanted to challenge Yan Ning before, but was beaten severely.

At this moment, he still maintained his decency and was somewhat respectful. He spoke softly, with an air of a noble and upright person.

"Your Majesty the Demon King, I am—"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Cui Jiao interrupted the other person coldly and violently.

He was impatient to listen to these nonsense, and did not care about the man's name or his purpose.

He just promised Yan Ning not to attack others easily.

Because Yan Ning said that this was not good for his cultivation——

The demon king, who was once predicted by the wizards of his tribe to become tyrannical and destroy half of the demon world one day, has somewhat restrained his temper over the years.

This puzzled the wizard.

After all, they had rebelled in this name before, but the longer it dragged on, the more it proved to Cui Jiao that he was not a bloodthirsty guy.

Fei Zhineng can stand here and talk to Cui Jiao at this moment, and he also has to thank Yan Ning for correcting Cui Jiao's character.

Feizhi choked.

I couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, thinking that they were just a group of demons, not worthy of being in a formal setting.

But he still kept his patience. He had finally obtained a magical weapon that could determine the source of the strongest demonic energy in the surroundings. He found the demon king and naturally had something to ask for.

Yan Ning has been in that position for too long.

Moreover, there is the Emperor of Heaven, their biological father, in charge, who suppresses these aristocratic families and makes them suffer terribly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Yan Ning of Qingyun Immortal Sect is your sworn enemy."

Not knowing how to look up.

"The Heavenly Emperor protects him, but it's impossible for him to be aware of other movements around him at all times. Yan Ning keeps suppressing the aristocratic families, saying it's for the sake of cultivating the Tao, but in his eyes, the lives of mortals are valuable, and the lives of people like us are not worth mentioning in his Tao?"

Feizhi was filled with indignation.

Cui Jiao lowered his head. He had already looked over when he heard Fei Zhi mention Yan Ning. There was no emotion in his red pupils, only coldness.

The subordinate next to him couldn't help but shudder and looked at the guy who was still talking with pity.

As long as you have been with Cui Jiao for a period of time, you can clearly feel that Cui Jiao has a very special relationship with Yan Ning. The two are said to be sworn enemies, but that is only the most superficial view after some events were spread.

In fact, Cui Jiao’s subordinates all knew that Cui Jiao was very fussy about everything concerning Yan Ning, and they didn’t know what he was really thinking.

But it's not an attitude that requires killing the other person.

Moreover, the demon tribe that had once actually made plans and tried to kill Yan Ning ended up in trouble at the hands of Cui Jiao.

But at this moment, having only heard one side of the story, and thinking that only the Demon King Cui Jiao had the ability to deal with Yan Ning, the guy who came over and spoke nonsense obviously came to the wrong place.

He then talked about how they wanted to drag Yan Ning down, and what dirty means they used. No matter how they wanted to make a child of destiny like Yan Ning suffer an accident, it would be best if the One in Heaven could not find any fault and make her suffer in silence.

The enemy of my enemy is indeed my friend.

But you still have to figure out whether this enemy is a real enemy.

Cui Jiao listened with a blank expression from the beginning.

He seemed to laugh at the end.

Feizhi seemed to feel that he had impressed Cui Jiao and was even more confident.

"As long as His Majesty the Demon King follows the plan I just mentioned, which is the result of our long research and the long-term testing of the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Emperor, His Majesty will be able to take the lead and eliminate the thorn in his side. We, the aristocratic families, will also be able to breathe a sigh of relief. This will be a meritorious deed for His Majesty and will only benefit His Majesty."

"Well said."

Cui Jiao spoke slowly, he jumped off the branch directly, squinted his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, he raised his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his evil lips, and he stretched out his hand.

"Your name is Feizhi, right?"

Feizhi just smiled and before he could say anything, his head was pinched by a hand with great force.

The young demon king's voice was still very contemptuous.

"You aristocratic families, it seems you haven't learned enough lessons—"

He narrowed his eyes, and even the sky seemed to darken a little. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his evil red eyes lit up slightly.

"Who told you that you could attack Yan Ning?"

"Demon King... Your Majesty..."

Feizhi felt like his head was about to explode, but under the brutal aura of the young demon king, he was completely unable to move. He could only helplessly spit out a few words through gaps between his teeth.

"you……"

Cui Jiao was still speaking slowly.

"Are you worthy?"

He's been fighting his mortal enemy for over a decade, and you're really worthy of attacking him?

Are you thinking too much?

“Ahhhhhh—”

The surrounding scene was changing rapidly.

The scene from Dragon City suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding area was a desolate land.

Cui Jiao had a blank expression on his face, and the long nails created by his demonic power had already pierced into his skull and eyeballs.

Blood began to flow out little by little, and he finally screamed.

The subordinates watching from the side sighed and said - yes, that's it.

Dancing in the minefield of their Demon King has always resulted in this kind of outcome. However, it is really outrageous. The whole world cannot understand it, right?

The minefield of the demon king Cui Jiao is his mortal enemy Yan Ning.

"The guy up there usually kills people with all his might, but at a time like this, he doesn't seem to care."

Cui Jiao seemed very annoyed.

Seeing that the other party was about to die, he withdrew his hand in boredom.

Just this kind of thing?

It’s not even certain whether he can get close to Yan Ning, and he even wants to attack Yan Ning and use him as a weapon.

He hasn't seen this kind of guy for a long time since he ascended to the position of Demon King.

Cui Jiao found it a little funny, so he shook his body slightly and shook off the blood on his fingers.

He cast a cleansing spell with some disgust, and seeing that his fingertips were clean, he still felt it was not enough.

Feizhi had already fallen to the ground in a mess, with only half his life left looking up at the sky.

"Take it back."

Cui Jiao continued speaking coldly.

“Find out what else they want to do.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cui Jiao's subordinates who were hiding in the dark soon appeared and dragged away Feizhi, who was already half-dead.

Cui Jiao continued to walk to the side.

This is already a hillside outside of Longcheng.

The sound of flowing stream can be faintly heard nearby.

This was also brought by Yan Ning.

Just a simple cleansing spell can't make people feel completely comfortable, and they have to wash it.

Snow-white fingertips cut through the stream.

The fox boy's enchanting face was filled with annoyance.

"Just tell me, isn't Yan Ning a bit too merciful? He let this kind of thing go. What's going on in his mind? It's really weird."

The little bat hiding in the dark didn't dare to say a word, but just responded in a low voice.

Cui Jiao finished washing his hands.

Cui Jiao stood up straight, paused for a moment, and looked towards the horizon.

The eyes of the fox boy who was full of rage just now brightened a little, and his back straightened up like a handsome pine tree.

In the sky, a small boat flew above his head.

A young man poked his head out of the boat and glanced at him.

Yan Ning looked for the fox.

I looked everywhere around, but there was no sign of this person.

Now that I finally found him, I saw his appearance.

Yan Ning blinked his eyes and reached out to stroke the head of Xuetuan who was beside him.

Xuetuan had been frightened by Cui Jiao before, and was still howling in grievance.

But after Yan Ning touched its head, it started wagging its tail happily again.

"Hello--"

Yan Ning spoke from high above.

The pretty and well-behaved young boy with red lips and white teeth waved at him.

"My great-grandmaster is about to ascend to heaven. He told me that I have almost finished reading all the books they can find. After that, I want to gain insights and gain experience on my own. I want to go to my father's former capital, the Great Xia Dynasty. I heard that there are demonic cultivators who eat girls there. Several immortal sects have been unable to deal with them. I want to go and take a look."

Yan Ning greeted Cui Jiao.

"Last time we said that even if it's just a training session, we should go together, so that no one would fall behind. I've been looking for you for a long time, Fox, do you want to come with us?"

Have you been looking for him for a long time?

Cui Jiao also blinked and snorted.

He stepped lightly.

"I've already told you to address me as Your Majesty. You're barking at whatever you catch—why is this stupid dog even here?! Didn't I tell you it's either me or him here?!"

Xuetuan whimpered in grievance and huddled behind Yan Ning pitifully. His watery black eyes looked pitiful. Cui Jiao had done nothing, but he just whimpered and looked at Cui Jiao miserably, as if he was being bullied.

Hey, still a green tea dog.

Cui Jiao stepped onto the boat and looked at the snowball with gritted teeth.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it," Yan Ning shrugged, protecting the snow-white fur ball behind him. "After all, I promised my junior brother that I would help him watch over Xuetuan. If you don't want to go, then you can go down."

Yan Ning followed suit and once again unlocked the Yunzhou's defensive barrier.

As Cui Jiao flew up, the little bat that successfully hung upside down under the cloud boat breathed a long sigh of relief.

Isn't it just a dog with some intelligence?

It doesn't have to be so complicated, right?

Cui Jiao looked at Yan Ning, then at the open passage behind him, and walked in angrily.

"Who said I'm not going?"

When he passed by the snow-white fur ball, he saw that the snow-white fur ball was tightly attached to Yan Ning, and he glanced at the snow-white fur ball fiercely.

"Woof—"

Xuetuan looked pitiful, as if he had been "knocked down". He kicked his four short legs and shrank towards Yan Ning.

Yan Ning looked at Cui Jiao with amusement.

He actually felt a little guilty just now, but after a while he didn't know what he was feeling guilty about.

All of this makes perfect sense, so why would I still feel guilty facing Cui Jiao?

"Why are you fussing with Xuetuan? He's just a puppy. I'll send him back in a few months."

Yan Ning tilted her head.

"Don't you have the tolerance to tolerate a dog? Your Majesty~"

The clear boy's voice was accompanied by a smile.

Still as sweet and well-behaved as usual.

His personality has become more reserved than when he was a child, and his sarcastic remarks are not as direct as before.

It's like a joke, but also has a different kind of playful and cuteness.

Generally speaking, in this situation, Cui Jiao should be furious and then argue with Yan Ning for hundreds of rounds.

But today was a little different. He listened to the voice of "Your Majesty" and looked at the snow-white puppy with a gloomy face and turned around.

The cloud boat was moving very fast. Yan Ning, who was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, lay on the side of the boat, supporting his cheek, and after a moment, knocked on the bottom of the cloud boat.

"Is he really angry?"

Little Bat: ...

No, you ask me?

The little bat didn't dare to answer and hid cautiously.

Yan Ning knocked again.

"It's windy down there, do you want to come up?"

It was indeed speaking to him.

The little bat is numb.

Cautiously: "No, I can't."

"All right."

Yan Ning nodded, and entered Yun Zhou's room with Xuetuan running happily behind him.

The furious guy had already made tea and drank a cup, but opposite him, there was another cup of clear tea with wisps of hot steam rising from it.

Yan Ning smiled with her eyebrows curved.

Walk over and sit down casually.

"It will take about an hour to arrive."

This speed is directly proportional to the level of cultivation. Yan Ning, who is about to enter the Nascent Soul stage and has sufficient spiritual energy without any restrictions, can make rapid progress in driving the boat.

Cui Jiao said nothing.

"Is it okay for you to come out like this without any plans?"

Yan Ning was actually just impulsive, remembering what the two had said before, and because Cui Jiao was furious when he left just now, and seemed to be really sad about Xuetuan's matter, Yan Ning was looking for him everywhere to catch up. At this moment, he remembered what Cui Jiao had done in the demon clan.

"If they didn't have me, the entire demon tribe would immediately cease to function, and they wouldn't have to stay in their respective positions."

Cui Jiao's voice was still chilling.

Yan Ning picked up the tea and took a sip, then looked at the snowball next to her and casually touched it. The puppy liked the gentle scent of Yan Ning very much. At this moment, it whimpered and put its little head on Yan Ning's thigh, acting coquettishly and affectionately.

After touching the dog's head, Yan Ning casually raised his head and looked towards the opposite side, and was frightened by the dark face opposite him.

Yan Ning simply waved her sleeves and projected the scenery along the way.

At this moment, outside the imperial city of the Great Xia Dynasty——

Between the mountains not far from the imperial city.

"Brother—how far do we have to go—"

The little girl pushed the back of the cart with great effort and asked the boy who was pulling the cart in the front.

The two children were not very old, about ten years old. Their clothes looked good, and they must have been educated. But there were no adults around them at the moment, and they looked quite disheveled.

"Anyway, the farther away from here and the imperial city, the better."

The young man pulling the cart spoke coldly.

"Didn't you realize it? Those people just used us as bait—the same goes for those immortals. Don't put your hopes on them—that's the stupidest thing to do!!"

"But, brother—brother, I don't think this should be the case. Immortals, the immortals are all very good. That immortal sister even gave me candy—"

boom!

The car stopped suddenly and the leading boy turned his head abruptly.

"How many times do I have to tell you that it's just a small profit to make you let your guard down and sacrifice for them out of gratitude—"

The young man had just opened his mouth when his eyes suddenly widened.

He saw a flickering shape in the shadows in the distance.

——It is a monkey-shaped monster that occasionally robs and kills passing merchants. It likes to eat children and usually does not appear during the day.

So they were relieved to continue their journey.

But now—

"Xiaoyu, get down!!! Quick!!! Quick!!!"

The eight or nine-year-old girl still hadn't reacted.

She stared in amazement as her brother tried to pounce on her, and less than five meters behind her, the hungry monster pounced.

It’s over——

The shouting didn't even have time to reach the other party's ears.

And the next moment.

With a rustling sound——

The monster suddenly stopped in the air.

In the distance, there was a figure standing on the treetop.

There was a small boat above his head, and the demonic energy of the monster was slowly dissipating.

The man in a white Taoist robe lowered his eyes and looked over without making any sound, blending in with the wind and everything else.

The little girl finally turned around and saw the monster suspended in mid-air suddenly falling. She began to scream and cry, and was immediately hugged by her brother.

My brother seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and, in this harmonious world, he couldn't utter a word. He had read books, and he didn't blindly worship immortal cultivators. He just couldn't help but think -

The tower is a hundred feet high, and I can reach for the stars with my hands. I dare not speak loudly, for fear of startling the beings in heaven.
