After some pretense of compromise, the two finally ended the conversation.
Before leaving, Xue Kun seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Junior Brother, I saw a jade-colored light flickering in the sky above your courtyard. Could it be that you've sacrificed the Glazed Lamp?"
Ji Qingya nodded and smiled, "Big Brother, you have good eyesight."
Xue Kun looked helpless: "The protective magic weapon given by Master is not for guarding the house. If others see it and Master hears about it, you will be punished."
"Big Brother, you misunderstood. I'm not doing this for fun this time!"
Ji Qingya said angrily: "This stronghold is really poor, and the courtyard barrier is full of holes.
If I don't use some tricks, my every word and action will be seen by others, which is really unpleasant."
Xue Kun's face showed sudden realization. He took a deep look at Xiang Sheng behind Ji Qingya and said with a smile, "It seems that I misunderstood."
“That’s it!”
Ji Qingya snorted and said, "Big Brother, when you came here this time, didn't you find that I am much more sensible than before?"
Xue Kun nodded with a smile: "Master will definitely be very pleased when he knows this."
As he said this, a hint of extremely subtle coldness flashed across his eyes.
In this case, the plan cannot be delayed any further.
After bidding farewell to Xue Kun, the two returned to the villa.
Ji Qingya still remembered what happened in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. After chatting with Xiang Sheng for a while, he went to practice.
Xiang Sheng continued to sit in the courtyard and drink.
After leaving Lengzhuhai a thousand years ago, she wandered around.
During those long nine hundred years, she was in a daze most of the time and didn't know where she was.
It wasn't until a hundred years ago that she regained consciousness and resumed her cultivation. However, since coming to the Heavenly Demon Country to collect corpses, she has had little time to practice.
Even so, the second calamity of the immortal is approaching.
The Heavenly Demon Secret Realm is about to open, and it is not appropriate to undergo the tribulation now. She cannot practice, so she can only drink.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. Qingmu finished his healing and came out of the room. He smelled the strong aroma of wine in the courtyard and knew that Boss Shi was drinking again.
He glanced around and found Xiang Sheng on a rooftop in the side yard.
He touched the ground with both feet and flew to land beside Xiang Sheng.
The stronghold was enveloped by a protective formation, and cold white fluorescent light shone down, shining on Xiang Sheng's profile, emitting a silver glow, making him look even more cold and desolate.
Qingmu took out a pot of wine from his storage ring, took a sip, looked up at the pattern of the formation, and broke the silence with a voice:
"What about Xue Kun?"
Xiang Sheng's hazy eyes cleared up a bit, he shook the wine in the pot and uttered eight words:
"Two-faced and scheming."
Qingmu's eyes suddenly fixed: "What did he see?"
A glint flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes. "I have a feeling this person has an ulterior motive for appearing here. We need to be more cautious in our next actions."
Aoki knew that she was careful and cautious, so he naturally agreed.
The two of them drank for a while, and Qingmu suddenly asked, "If this goes through, how are you going to compensate Ji Qingya?"
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly when he heard this: "How do you know that I will compensate him?"
Qingmu looked at Xiang Sheng seriously, his tone firm:
"You will."
Although Ji Qingya is stupid, he has a sincere heart.
Boss Shi is a sentimental man, so how could he not see it?
The smile on Xiang Sheng's lips faded, and he remained silent for a long time, finally just sighing softly.
She couldn't give an answer.
…
Over the next two days, Ji Qingya took Xiang Sheng on a tour of the entire stronghold, chattering all the way and selling out every corner of the stronghold.
As the three-day deadline approached, more and more disciples returned to the base, and with them came more than twenty unfamiliar faces, all of whom had reserved expressions mixed with excitement.
There is no need to explain the identities and positions of these people. They are all people who are good at prohibitions and come here to collect the bounty.
At 5 p.m. on the third day, except for Xiang Sheng, more than 20 people were summoned by Elder Yu Zhan.
An hour later, nine people changed into the robes of the immortal palace priests and came out of the hall happily, while the remaining ten or so people left sadly.
The next day, the disciples of the stronghold gathered and boarded the fairy boat, finally heading towards the secret realm of the Heavenly Demon.
Ji Qingya stood at the front of the team, beside Yu Zhan and Xue Kun.
He wanted to stay with Xiang Sheng, but was rejected by her. He could only sigh and give up, standing here obediently in the cold wind.
At the same time, at the back of the Immortal Boat Team, Xiang Sheng and nine other newly appointed Immortal Palace Forbidden Priests stood together.
Thanks to Ji Qingya taking her around for the past few days, the nine priests all recognized Xiang Sheng.
They naturally looked down on this forbidden worshiper who came in through the back door, and they all whispered to each other without any prior agreement, isolating her.
Xiang Sheng enjoyed the quietness, turned the black jade bracelet on his wrist, and leaned aside to close his eyes and rest.
Half a day later, the immortal boat landed at the camp outside the entrance of the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
The disciples of the Immortal Palace stationed there immediately came out to greet them, and the other two parties were immediately alarmed.
"Someone from the Asgard is coming."
"The attire those nine people are wearing... is forbidden offerings!"
"Go and invite Elder Gong Wu!"
"Where has Lord Shuili been slacking off?"
“…”
There was chaos in both camps, but the Fairy Palace camp was in good order.
Yu Zhan acted decisively and swiftly. He waved his hand and brought nine priests to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, giving a cold order:
"Hurry up and break the ban immediately!"
The nine people nodded in agreement, took out their compasses for unlocking the ban, and rushed to the entrance barrier to look it up and down.
After taking a look, six out of the nine people were dumbfounded.
"Is this...an ancient demon ban?"
"There are ancient demon bans outside and immortal bans inside. This, this, this..."
"I'm not good at ancient demon prohibitions."
“…”
Yu Zhan's face darkened slightly, his gaze fixed on the three silent people.
The three of them tensed up, and one of them immediately spoke up, "Elder, the Ancient Demon Ban is far inferior to the Immortal Ban. However, my mastery of the Ancient Demon Ban is only at the Rough Mastery level. Breaking it will probably take quite a while."
When the other two heard him speak, they echoed him and said that their attainments in Ancient Demon Forbidden Art were also only at the Rough Proficiency Level, but if the three of them worked together, they should be able to save a lot of time.
Yu Zhan was dissatisfied. Li Lingshi had profound attainments in Immortal Prohibition and Ancient Demon Prohibition. If he were there, why would there be so much trouble?
But at the moment he had no other choice but to let the three of them do their best.
Among the people behind Yu Zhan, Ji Qingya came to Xiang Sheng at some point and whispered:
"Sister Stone, why don't you give it a try?"
Although the sound was small, Yu Zhan heard it clearly and turned around to look at Xiang Sheng.
He wanted to break the restriction and get in before the other two parties arrived, so naturally he didn't want to miss any help.
Xiang Sheng seemed to be frightened by Yu Zhan's gaze, and his expression became more reserved. He shook his head and said:
"I'm only good at Immortal Confinement, not Ancient Demon Confinement, so I won't try. I'll come and help once the Ancient Demon Confinement is unlocked."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Zhan immediately withdrew his gaze and never noticed the green wood on her wrist.
Ji Qingya's heart, which had been in his throat, immediately dropped. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but admire him.
Sister Stone and Brother Aoki are really powerful. They can even deceive the immortals with just illusions and restrictions.
