Aoki didn't know how long it had been since he felt so embarrassed.
The other party was much more decisive than he had imagined. He never hesitated from the beginning, but was thinking about how to better achieve his goal.
On the other hand, he seemed to be worrying about nothing this past month.
The heat on his face faded away quietly.
Qingmu secretly felt relieved that his face was no longer as cold and pale as before.
The embarrassment I felt just now should not have been noticed by the other party.
He exhaled lightly, suppressing his chaotic thoughts, and spoke in a gentle and clear tone:
"As long as things can be accomplished, a little grievance is nothing. I wonder what clever plan Boss Shi has?"
Xiang Sheng's gaze shifted away from his red ear tip without leaving a trace, and he curled his lips and chuckled softly:
"Tonight at midnight, Daoist Fellow Qingmu will know everything."
…
That night.
On the first floor of the inheritance tower, Ji Qingya sat cross-legged on a coffin board, with immortal energy flowing around his body, constantly repairing his internal injuries. His eyes were closed, his breath was long, and he had already entered a state of oblivion of both himself and the world.
Opposite him, on the other side of the coffin, Qingmu was also sitting cross-legged, but he was not in meditation like Ji Qingya. His eyes swept across the stone stairs from time to time, and his eyes were very clear.
At midnight, Xiang Sheng appeared at the end of the stone stairs as promised.
Qingmu looked up and his eyes met Xiang Sheng's. Without any words, the two of them immediately floated out of the coffin shop door, turned into two black lights, shot up into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, a small fragmented continent appeared near the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
Xiang Sheng didn't fly very far before he stopped and turned back to look at Qing Mu calmly, saying, "Next, it's your turn to lead the way."
A strange look flashed in Qingmu's eyes, and he led the way without saying a word.
The lowest-ranking person active on this continent is a human immortal, so there is no need to search for secret realms day and night, and there are many human and monster races encountered along the way.
Fortunately, both the man and the demon were top-notch at concealing their auras, and they carefully avoided being sensed along the way, without causing any noise.
Less than half an hour later, the two arrived at the barren mountain where Qingmu had hidden last time.
Two months is not a long time, and the cracks in the rocks created by Xiang Sheng are still there.
Qingmu led Xiang Sheng deeper into the crevice for a while, and Xiang Sheng felt that he had passed through a transparent barrier and came to an underground space.
Standing on the top of the barrier, he looked towards Sheng.
In the center below, a huge black vortex was constantly rotating, emitting a little light from it, illuminating the entire underground space.
As the vortex rotates, a passage can be vaguely seen. The picture at the end of the passage is distorted, but a towering tower can be vaguely seen, standing quietly in it.
Nine-story pagoda!
Xiang Sheng landed on the ground with a scorching gaze.
Seeing this tower, there is no need to say more. This is the entrance to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
"Boss Shi, I brought you here and I have fulfilled my promise."
Qingmu landed beside Xiang Sheng and asked directly, "What method are you talking about?"
Xiang Sheng tilted his head and smiled slightly. Instead of answering, he asked, "I guess this concealing barrier wasn't created by the Heavenly Demon, but by Fellow Daoist Qingmu? Were Fellow Daoist Qingmu's injuries also caused by the Heavenly Demon?"
"good."
Aoki looked calm.
He had already seen how clever the mind of this corpse collector was. It would be abnormal if he couldn't guess the whole story.
Thinking of this, Aoki simply said:
“I originally wanted to use the ancient demon bloodline to overwhelm the Heavenly Demon Clan and enter the Nine-Layered Pagoda, but they were outnumbered and I failed and narrowly escaped.
If I alert the three forces immediately, I will definitely not be able to intervene in the affairs of the Nine-Layered Pagoda. So I set up this barrier and guarded the barrier while healing my wounds and thinking of a solution.
Later, I had an accident and was seriously injured and couldn’t move…”
Qing Mu's tone darkened as he said this: "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will repay Mr. Shi for taking me in one day."
This confession is sufficiently detailed and sincere.
Xiang Sheng didn't ask any more questions. He stared at the black vortex for a moment and suddenly began to form seals quickly.
One after another, forbidden runes appeared between the fingers like black snowflakes, and then condensed into a huge "seal" character, covering the outside of the black vortex.
Aoki immediately saw her plan and frowned slightly:
"You want to use the restrictions to create obstacles and make the Celestial Palace come to us?
Not right! The Immortal Palace, the Ancient Clan, and the Ancient Monster have a long and profound heritage, and are home to countless masters of forbidden formations. You may have already become an extraordinary figure in the art of forbidden formations, but you can't stop them."
Xiang Sheng did not refute Qingmu and continued to make seals.
The forbidden runes became more and more, condensing into eighty-one seals that were connected end to end to form a whole, which was pleasing to the eye.
Qingmu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows relaxed slightly.
The art of prohibition is easy to learn but difficult to master.
He had been busy with many things in the past and had little experience in this area. His level was just at the threshold of the mastery realm, and he could only crack and set up a single restriction. However, this did not prevent him from recognizing that the restriction in front of him was a perfectly combined fusion restriction.
There are a total of eighty-one rune bans. This kind of profound method can only be performed by those who have a deep understanding of the realm of prohibition, and it is extremely time-consuming.
Boss Shi performed it so casually, it seemed that he was not far from completing the restriction.
But even so, he still did not change his previous opinion.
There are powerful beings in the Immortal Palace who can restrain a realm of perfection, and there are more than one.
Not to mention the fusion of eighty-one restrictions, even the fusion of eight hundred restrictions would still be a piece of cake for such a powerful person.
Thinking of this, Qingmu suddenly saw the seal in Xiang Sheng's hand change, and a "Rui" character snake and insect pattern with a demonic light condensed out rapidly.
Qingmu looked at the unfamiliar snake and insect forbidden runes, his eyes blank for a moment, then he seemed to remember something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Could this be... the Heavenly Demon Forbidden? !
Aoki was deeply shocked.
The prohibition originated from the ancient tribe and was called the ancient prohibition.
However, the Ancient Clan is just a group of human clans that claim to have a deeper foundation. They are no different from the human race in the Immortal Palace, and naturally there is no threshold for practicing the restrictions.
Therefore, the ancient ban is also called the immortal ban.
The ancient demon race is inherently different, and it is extremely difficult for them to practice restrictions. Therefore, the ancient demon restrictions came into being, but their accumulation is not deep enough, and in terms of sophistication, they are far inferior to humans.
According to legend, the ancient demon clan once had a prohibition method that was comparable to the ancient prohibition, called the Heavenly Demon Prohibition. The name of Heavenly Demon is closely related to the Heavenly Demon Kingdom.
Qingmu used to think it was just a legend, but after seeing the fluctuations emitted by the snake and insect pattern restriction condensed by Xiang Sheng, which was no less than the ancient restriction, he immediately realized it.
What the other party used was the long-lost Heavenly Demon Prohibition!
Even the ancient demon clan themselves had lost the forbidden technique, but now a human being was seen performing it, and he seemed to have mastered it. How could Qingmu not be shocked?
Xiang Sheng keenly sensed Qingmu's emotional fluctuations, and paused his movements. He asked softly, "It's rare to see Fellow Daoist Qingmu feeling uneasy, but what's wrong?"
