The night is dark.
Gong Moyan was dressed in black clothes and came to an ordinary and barren mountain under the cover of darkness.
As he approached, the rugged mountain wall flashed with the light of the formation, and an entrance appeared out of thin air.
Gong Moyan did not rush in. He scanned the surrounding area for a hundred miles with his spiritual sense. After finding nothing unusual, he bent down and went in.
The passage in the cave is not neat, but it is clean. The light becomes brighter as you go deeper.
Until finally, a spacious cave hollowed out by humans came into view.
The cave is arranged like a front hall, with a throne in the middle with no one sitting on it.
Both sides of the throne were filled with monks, both men and women, all with solemn expressions. The old man in black who appeared during the day stood on the left.
Directly below the throne stood a dozen men and women, dressed in rags, looking like beggars, all with apprehensive expressions.
As soon as Gong Moyan appeared, the monks on both sides immediately looked over, and then they all bowed their heads and saluted in unison: "Greetings, Chief!"
The dozen or so "beggars" with their backs to the passage also hurriedly turned around and saluted.
But the moment they saw the visitor's face clearly, they were all shocked and stunned, and forgot to continue to salute.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you salute the leader?" the old man in black scolded.
Someone woke up with a start, but instead of greeting, he showed hatred on his face: "I recognize you, you are the Holy Son Gong Moyan! I am here to join the rebels, not the Demon Heaven Palace!"
Gong Moyan remained calm and walked over slowly: "As you can see, I am indeed the Holy Son, but that does not prevent me from becoming the leader of the rebel army."
"How is that possible?!"
Seeing Gong Moyan approaching, the man couldn't help but step back, a look of disbelief on his face, "How could you be the leader of the rebels?"
Gong Moyan walked past him and came to the upper throne. He sat down with a flick of his sleeves and smiled coldly:
"The Demon Heaven Palace has dominated the Earth and Underworld for many years. If I were not the leader, who do you think could protect the rebels?"
As soon as these words were spoken, before the questioner could react, applause suddenly broke out outside the passage.
"Well said." Xiang Sheng emerged from the shadows with a smile.
The people in the cave saw this and their faces changed drastically.
"Enemy attack!"
The honest young man closest to Xiang Sheng took out a magic knife and slashed at him without saying a word.
Gong Moyan immediately looked anxious: "Shi Tou, come back!"
The honest young man didn't even turn his head and said, "Quickly retreat, I'll cover your retreat!"
As soon as he uttered the word "later", he suddenly realized that the magic sword in his hand seemed to be clamped by an iron hoop and could not move.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Xiang Sheng holding the blade with two fingers of his right hand, looking at him with a half-smile, and his face was immediately filled with horror.
He gritted his teeth and was about to burn his dantian with all his might, but he was restrained by a sudden surge of pressure and could not move.
Xiang Sheng gently took the knife from the honest young man's hand, looked up at Gong Moyan, and said in a casual tone, a little helpless:
"The men trained by Gong Shengzi are a bit too impatient."
Gong Moyan looked at Xiang Sheng in surprise and doubt, his thoughts racing.
He had clearly been extremely careful when he came here just now, but he was still followed by this woman.
Either this woman has some kind of magic weapon to shield her own aura, or her cultivation is even higher than hers.
However, the other party was willing to show up and show mercy to Gong Shi's men, so he should not be from the Demonic Palace.
Thinking of this, Gong Moyan said coldly: "Your words are unreasonable. You came here uninvited, and my brothers were frightened. It is inevitable that they behaved inappropriately."
"Isn't that my fault?"
Xiang Sheng smiled, withdrew the force that was suppressing Gong Shi, and threw the spiritual knife in front of him.
Gong Shi's breath suddenly relaxed, then he looked at Xiang Sheng warily, picked up the magic knife and ran back.
Seeing that she had taken the initiative to release Gong Shi, Gong Moyan's expression relaxed slightly, and he said in a calm voice: "Everyone, please leave. I want to talk to this fellow Daoist Shen alone."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but no one moved.
The leader was their only hope of bringing down the Demon Heaven Palace. Even if they were all dead, nothing could happen to the leader.
How could they feel at ease letting Gong Moyan face a Demon Heaven Palace guard who was obviously suspicious alone?
"Fellow Daoist Gong's fellow rebels truly love and respect you."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly:
"There's no need for a private conversation. What Fellow Daoist Gong wants to ask is the purpose of my coming here.
There is no need to keep this a secret. I came here precisely to join you."
Gong Moyan didn't expect Xiang Sheng to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly frowned:
"Has the news of the rebels reached the Demon Heaven City?"
“No.”
Xiang Sheng spat out two words, looked around, and said with a smile: "Friend Gong, are you planning to chat with me all night long?"
Gong Moyan quickly apologized and ordered people to quickly clean up a stone room to receive the guests. At the same time, he asked Gong Shi to take away the dozen people who came to surrender.
A moment later, Xiang Sheng and Gong Moyan sat opposite each other in the stone chamber.
The old man in black personally served a table of wine and food, bowed and retreated to the door, and eavesdropped with everyone else.
Xiang Sheng ate his meal and nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that even in your underworld, where the secular world is miserable, you can still have such delicious food."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gong Moyan's expression changed instantly.
Your underworld?
Could it be that this woman is not from the Underworld?
The doubt turned around in his mind, but Gong Moyan did not ask directly. He said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency has not answered my question yet."
Xiang Sheng put down his chopsticks, smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering, "After the test of the Holy Pavilion, when selecting the Holy Son's personal guards, I could have made a better choice.
Do you know why I chose you?"
Gong Moyan frowned, and before he could speak, he heard Xiang Sheng say again:
