Southern Xinjiang, Yulong Mountain.
For some reason, Wei Dongliu recently keenly discovered that Jiang Li'an's attitude towards him became more and more intimate.
Is it because I drove away my senior sister for her?
But Wei Dongliu knew clearly that the reason Jiang Li'an wanted to perform in front of him was actually to let him help her get rid of her senior sister, rather than to drive her away.
In short, the witch's mind is really hard to figure out, Wei Dongliu can only counter her moves and gain as much synchronization value as possible.
The day to leave the mountain finally arrived. Everyone stood in front of the square of the Donghuang Temple and saw the peach-colored miasma in the distance fading rapidly to the south like a tide.
Revealing the layers of tropical forest underneath, which is as green and blue as the sky.
"Legend has it that this peach blossom miasma is a curse from the demon race." Long Xiaoqi suddenly said, "In the last days of ancient times, a large number of demons were driven to the East Emperor Demon Realm, and those who refused to leave were slaughtered."
"In this southern border, the number of demons slaughtered is in the millions. After the gate to the Eastern Emperor Realm is closed, peach blossom miasma will appear. Anyone who enters will have a red face within three days, bleed from all seven orifices within five days, and if they don't leave, they will die within seven days."
"So there is another theory that this peach blossom miasma is a curse and revenge left by the demons... What do you think?"
"It's fine anyway." Gu Lie said casually.
"It doesn't matter whether it is or not." Wen Yang said.
"If the demon race really had such great power, wouldn't they just curse and kill all the humans?" Jiang Li'an sneered, "Why would they be driven away to the Eastern Emperor Realm like dogs that have lost their homes?"
Long Xiaoqi was silent for a while, then asked Wei Dongliu:
"Friend Wei didn't say anything, what do you think?"
"I think only the demon race knows the truth." Wei Dongliu said lightly.
“Maybe not.” Long Xiaoqi was silent for a moment, then said, “After more than 100,000 years, even the demon race today probably doesn’t know what the demon race was like back then.”
"Don't you know what's so important?" Gu Lie said impatiently, "Oh! We can set off now!"
In the distance, I saw five-colored flags rising rapidly in the wind, and then countless sword lights rose in the square of the Donghuang Temple and rushed towards the continuous mountains and rain forests in the distance.
The five-man team here would naturally not fall behind. They quickly flew into the air on their swords and rushed down along the terrain of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Suddenly, Wei Dongliu seemed to realize something and turned around. He saw the Qilin lying on the floor tiles of the square opened his eyes. His pupils, like brass bells, moved slightly and looked towards him.
I can't tell what the emotion is.
Wei Dongliu frowned slightly, then turned back again.
"The area near the Donghuang Palace has basically been explored." Wen Yang quickly told everyone while flying on the sword, "There are currently two directions."
"In the north, the ruins are less dangerous, and there are more human ruins than demon ruins. The chances of us being able to use the related treasures together are also higher."
"However, that is the main attack direction of Shushan, and there is a high probability that there will be a conflict with the Shushan team - especially this time the five sects are united against Shushan, which is bound to increase the risk level in that area."
"In the south, the closer you get to the East Emperor Realm Gate, the more dangerous the ruins are, and there are more demon ruins. If you go through so much trouble and finally get a technique that only the demons can use, you can imagine how frustrating it would be."
"But the problem is that we can avoid the battlefield of fighting with Shushan."
"Wait, Wen Yang." Jiang Li'an interrupted him, "Haven't we already decided? We're going to the north this time."
"Indeed." Wen Yang said casually, "I'm just reminding you that if you want to change your plan, now is the last time."
"If we reach the north and find that the situation on the battlefield is too bad, and we want to turn back to the south, it will definitely be too late."
"What's there to hesitate about?" Gu Lie said with a gloomy face, "If someone wants to go back on their word at that time, just ask me first if the sword in my hand agrees or not."
"Wait a minute!" Wei Dongliu suddenly shouted.
His voice was so loud that the other four reflexively pulled their swords to hover in the air.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Li'an asked curiously.
"Qilin is talking to me." Wei Dongliu said with a frown.
The other four:?
Their expressions were extremely complicated for a moment. But if you look closely, Jiang Li'an is suspicious, Wen Yang is serious, Gu Lie is shocked, and Long Xiaoqi has no expression... She has always had no expression.
"Go south." Qilin's powerful and deep voice came in his mind.
"Why?" Wei Dongliu asked with a frown.
"There is a mirror pond there." Qilin said in a muffled voice, "It can increase the cultivation of the Huafu by 70 years - this is what you need most."
Wei Dongliu:!!!
"What is the price?" he asked again in a deep voice.
"Help me get something back from there." said Qilin.
The people around saw Wei Dongliu staying where he was, sometimes frowning, sometimes opening his eyes wide... and couldn't help but exchange glances quickly.
Wen Yang's eyes were full of disbelief.
Jiang Li'an shook his head imperceptibly, moved closer to Wei Dongliu, and made his position clear.
Gu Lie rolled his eyes a few times, then approached Wei Dongliu from the other side - he also didn't believe that this mysterious Fellow Daoist Wei was the kind of person who would lie to attract attention.
What's more, everyone witnessed Qilin speaking to him before.
Long Xiaoqi shrugged and looked at Wen Yang.
So Wen Yang showed an expression that said "Okay, but I need an explanation afterwards."
After Wei Dongliu finished talking with Qilin, he came back to his senses and saw that the four of them were looking at him with sharp eyes and serious expressions.
Even Long Xiaoqi, who was usually lazy and absent-minded, looked serious at this moment.
"Master Qilin wants me to get something for him." Wei Dongliu said concisely, "The reward is... a secret realm that increases the cultivation level of the Huafu by 70 years."
Seventy years!
Gu Lie's eyes immediately widened, and Wen Yang's eyes twitched. Only Jiang Li'an and Long Xiaoqi maintained their expressions.
The former had been mentally prepared long ago. After all, there were too many suspicious points about the identity of this old thief Wei, so it was not surprising that he could come up with anything.
The latter, however, looked thoughtful.
"Could you please tell me what you want, Brother Wei?" Wen Yang asked cautiously.
Wei Dongliu shook his head, and suddenly turned his gaze again to look at the Qilin lying on the square.
The Qilin opened its mouth and a stream of light flew over and went straight into his sleeve.
So everyone immediately gave up their thoughts. They were not arrogant enough to dare to pry into the secret of this Qilin.
But at the same time, since it was indeed the order of this Qilin, it is unlikely that he is lying... After all, his rank is there. If he really needs help, how many seniors in the Donghuang Dao would be willing to volunteer without even asking for any compensation, just to gain this person's favor!
There's no need to go to the trouble of making up a lie to deceive them.
In other words, the seventy years of Huafu cultivation is most likely true.
Seventy years... Thinking of this, everyone felt a surge of heat in their hearts.
If the benefits are really that great, they would dare to go through it even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
On the top floor of Donghuang Temple in the distance, Hu Li leaned on the balcony railing, watching the interaction between Qilin, Wei Dongliu and others below.
After a while, she yawned lazily, then lowered her eyelids, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved, not knowing what she was thinking about.
