Chapter 422 No One is a Fool

"Master Qi Chi, please come in!"

The clam opened, and Mo Lin led the sirens to appear at the gate.

Qi Chi glanced at Mo Lin casually, but just this one glance made Mo Lin feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

You know, he is not an ordinary sea monster in the state of transformation, but a person in the late stage of transformation. He is one of the most powerful people in the entire sea.

But a look from Lord Qi Chi was enough to make him feel a little overwhelmed. This was the difference between a demon general and a demon king.

The demon king is only stronger than the human race's powerful Dongxu masters.

The Seven Chi Demon King was the second of the three demon kings in the sea to enter the realm of demon king, only three thousand years later than the Qingkun Demon King. However, the Qingkun Demon King was already in his twilight years. Now in the sea, the Seven Chi Demon King is the one who reigns supreme.

Inside the waterfall.

Lao Hei sat there with a blank expression on his face, while Chu Ning stood below.

"Master Qi Chi, Master Chang Sheng is inside."

Outside the waterfall, Qi Chi suddenly stopped and looked at the waterfall in front of him without stepping in.

Mo Lin was a little confused, but didn't dare to ask.

"I have heard that when Senior Changsheng had not yet entered the realm of the demon king, he encountered several powerful enemies who attacked him. Senior Changsheng led these powerful enemies into the cave, and in the end, those powerful enemies never appeared in the sea again."

Qi Chi stood in front of the waterfall and spoke slowly. Before coming here, he had already known all about the past of the Immortal Demon King. In the entire sea area, there were many stories about the Immortal Demon King.

According to the information he obtained through investigation, the Immortal Demon King was best at forbearance in the early stage. Before he became the Demon King, the sea area knew very little about the Immortal Demon King's deeds, and most of them were about what happened after he became the Demon King.

Faced with such a being who was once extremely powerful, good at forbearance and full of cunning, Qi Chi did not dare to take it lightly. At least he would not easily step into the waterfall.

It’s not that he is afraid that his own safety will be in danger after entering. As a demon king, there are very few places in the world that can trap him. It’s just that as a demon king, he will not easily put himself in danger.

Hearing Qi Chi's voice inside the waterfall, Lao Hei and Chu Ning looked at each other and realized that the previous empty city calculation was successful, at least it made the demon king feel fearful.

They could no longer act so arrogantly at this moment and if they didn't give the Seven Chi Demon King any face, once he got completely enraged, the wrath would be something that the two of them would not be able to bear.

"My strength has declined. I didn't know that Fellow Daoist Qi Chi was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

Lao Hei walked out of the waterfall, and Qi Chi's eyes instantly fell on Lao Hei. His facial expression remained unchanged, but he had made a judgment in his heart.

The initial stage of transformation of spirit!

It seems that the rumors outside are correct. Although this immortal demon king killed himself and was reborn, I'm afraid something happened, otherwise his realm would not be so low.

"When this king first began to gain spiritual wisdom, Senior Changsheng's name was already well-known throughout the East China Sea. Upon learning that Senior had returned, this king should have come to visit him long ago. It was just that I was in seclusion for some time and did not know about this. Now that I have come out of seclusion, I immediately came to visit him."

Believe in your ghost.

They are all demon kings, and they are full of nonsense.

Lao Hei complained in his heart, but said: "My era has passed. Now it is the era of Taoist Qi Chi and others."

"Senior Changsheng, what you said is not right. Without your actions back then, how could our Sea Clan be what it is today? The contributions you made to the Sea Clan are clearly known to everyone in the Sea Clan."

Qi Chi was not talking nonsense. Before the Immortal Demon King, the sea clan and the cultivators in the East China Sea had been fighting with each other. The cultivators in the East China Sea were constantly expanding their territory, reclaiming land and building islands.

It was not until the Immortal Demon King led the sea clan to launch an all-out war against the cultivators in the East China Sea. Although the Immortal Demon King was ultimately defeated in this battle, it also made the cultivators in the East China Sea dare not expand their territory any further.

"I am a member of the sea clan. This is what I should do. No need to praise me." Lao Hei waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything that fellow Daoist Qi Chi wants to visit you for?"

"This time, the king came to visit me for something."

Qi Chi nodded: "I heard that the senior used a trick to lure Chu Ning here. You are worthy of being a senior. You killed Chu Ning in one fell swoop. A person with great luck is preventing trouble before it happens."

Hearing Qi Chi's words, Lao Hei narrowed his eyes slightly, while Chu Ning in the waterfall said in his heart: "He wants to know the purpose of your appointment with me, and uses this to provoke you."

"Then what should I say?" asked Lao Hei.

"Just tell the truth, just follow the words you and I agreed on, but don't say it right away."

After receiving Chu Ning's advice, Lao Hei pondered for a moment and said, "Chu Ning is from Danyu, and has little to do with the East Sea. He may not be a major threat to our sea clan."

"Senior, it is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. But don't forget that Chu Ning's Taoist partner is from Suxin Island. Senior was trapped under Suxin Island for tens of thousands of years. Don't you want to avenge this trap?"

Qi Chi did not give Lao Hei a chance to explain, and pressed on, "Chu Ning has great luck. Even the cultivators in the upper domain were defeated by him. If he is given a chance to grow, I'm afraid the future of our East Sea will be worrying. Or has the senior no longer wanted to protect the East Sea and the sea people?"

When Qi Chi uttered the last sentence, Mo Lin's expression changed instantly.

When he borrowed the power of Hai Yuan to save Lord Changsheng, the reason he gave was the contribution Lord Changsheng had made to the sea clan. After rescuing Lord Changsheng, he would definitely lead the sea clan to a higher level.

"Chu Ning is only in the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage. It will take a long time for him to pose a threat to our sea race. In comparison, the most important thing right now is for me to recover my strength. Chu Ning is crucial to my recovery of strength."

Lao Hei was silent for a few breaths before he had to explain the reason.

"Although the way of self-destruction and rebirth has been recorded by predecessors, no one has ever tried it. I will not hide it from you, fellow Taoist. Although I succeeded in my rebirth, some unexpected events occurred. Now I need to rely on the luck of Chu Ning to restore my strength."

"So that's how it is. Do you need my help?"

Qi Chi suddenly realized: "If you, senior, can use me in any way, please feel free to speak up."

"Even if Daoist Fellow Qi Chi doesn't tell me, I will ask Daoist Fellow Qi Chi for help when the time comes." Lao Hei smiled slightly: "If I want to recover my strength, in addition to the help of luck, I also need the help of Hai Yuan."

The power of Hai Yuan is the most precious treasure of the sea clan. If you want to use it, you must get the consent of the three demon kings. When Mo Lin borrowed the power of Hai Yuan to save the Changsheng Demon King, he got the consent of the three demon kings of Qi Chi.

The reason why the three demon kings of Qi Chi agreed back then was very simple: to rescue the Demon King of Immortality. If the Demon King of Immortality was still powerful, they were willing to submit to the Demon King of Immortality.

The sea clan and the demon clan have one thing in common, which is that they worship the strong.

The three Qi Chi did not expect that the Immortal Demon King had died and was replaced by Lao Hei.

An "Immortal Demon King" who is only in the initial stage of transformation into a spirit naturally cannot convince the three of them.

"Senior Changsheng, this sea energy is the foundation of our sea clan, and we have already used up a lot of it last time."

When mentioning the power of the sea element, Qi Chi's expression changed slightly. Lao Hei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't ignore the sea people just to restore my own strength."

"I'd like to hear more about it."

…

…

After a cup of tea, Qi Chi smiled and said, "In this case, I will wait for you to inform me when the time comes."

"good."

Qi Chi did not enter the waterfall. He came suddenly and left directly.

It was Mo Lin who personally saw him off again, while Lao Hei returned to the cave inside the waterfall.

"According to what you said, I finally fooled this guy."

"Don't be happy too soon. Do you really think the Demon King is so easy to fool? I estimate that he only believes 30% of what you said. It's just that there is no conflict of interest for the time being, so he won't take it so seriously."

Chu Ning poured a basin of cold water on Lao Hei, thinking that the Demon King was a fool.

Half of what he asked Lao Hei to tell Qi Chi was true.

Since he wanted Qi Chi to believe that he could restore his strength by using his luck, he had to come up with something real. What he gave Lao Hei was the chapter on nourishing qi that he got from the Zifu Academy.

With the eyesight of the Seven Chi Demon Kings, he can naturally judge the truth of what Lao Hei said. As long as he is sure that what he said about luck is true, that is enough.

As for the fact that Lao Hei only told Qi Chi a small part, it was normal. It was impossible for him to tell Qi Chi all the ways to use luck to restore strength. If he really told it, it would make Qi Chi suspicious.

"You came to me just to tell me about your current predicament, right?"

"Of course not. I came to you for something good."

Lao Hei chuckled and said, "Over the years, I have explored the cave of the Immortal Demon King thoroughly and found a mysterious place, but there is a restriction there and I don't know how to break it. If I remember correctly, you have raised a few insects that can break the restriction."

"Taixu breaks the forbidden ant."

"Yes, this is it. Let's see if we can break this restriction."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"If you break the restriction, won't the sea monster notice?"

"The waterfall can block all divine consciousness. I am the only one living here. Don't worry, Mo Lin won't dare to come in without my order."

Lao Hei patted his chest confidently and said, "I have sent a message to Mo Lin, asking him to stay outside. I have a secret to discuss with you."

"This Mo Lin is quite loyal to you."

Chu Ning was a little surprised. Mo Lin and the other two took Lao Hei away at the beginning. He didn't expect that after so many years, Mo Lin still stayed with Lao Hei.

A demon beast in the late stage of transformation of the spirit is actually willing to be a guard.

"Mo Lin's interests are already tied to me. It's no exaggeration to say that if I reveal my identity now, the first person to object will be this guy."

Lao Hei has not been doing nothing over the years, he has also figured out Mo Lin's thoughts.

"Don't take it for granted. This Mo Lin must want something from you. Be careful."

Chu Ning gave some instructions, and then followed Lao Hei into the cave. The two of them communicated in their hearts as they walked, mainly telling each other about what had happened to them over the years.

Communicate with each other so that you can make the correct decision if you encounter any unexpected situation in the future.

This was the agreement reached between Chu Ning and Lao Hei when they entered the Dan Domain.

Half an hour later, the two stopped in front of a spiritual light barrier.

"This is it. This is the restriction left by the Immortal Demon King when he was alive. I asked Mo Lin indirectly, and no one has ever come in here."

Chu Ning squinted his eyes and looked at the barrier in front of him. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Who has been guarding this cave for so many years?"

"Guards? There are no guards."

Lao Hei shook his head and explained, "When the Changsheng Demon King was sealed, his cave was sealed by one of his subordinates at the time, and no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave. Mo Lin is the descendant of that subordinate of the Changsheng Demon King."

At this point, Lao Hei raised his eyebrows and continued, "So Mo Lin is considered to be the family slave of the Changsheng Demon King for generations, and his loyalty is beyond doubt."

Chu Ning frowned and said, "Don't change your facial expression. Just do as I teach you."

After a while, Lao Hei spoke up: "This is where our cooperation lies. There is a river of luck here, and when the time comes, all the luck in it will belong to you."

Chu Ning sneered: "Your Excellency would be so kind?"

"I don't want luck. I just want to take back something I put in there. You and I will each take what we need."

"Even if I agree to your request, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through this barrier now, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I will find a way to open this barrier. But once you are inside, you have to cooperate with me to get the object back first."

"Okay." Chu Ning pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"With your current luck, even if you enter, you will not be able to cross the River of Luck. This old man is just making an agreement with you. When everything is ready, I will contact you again."

Lao Hei raised his hand and a jade slip flew towards Chu Ning.

"This is a gift from me to you. I won't let you come here in vain. It contains magical powers related to luck."

"Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise?" Chu Ning took the jade slip and asked doubtfully.

"As the pride of the Central Region, I believe you will not break your promise."

Lao Hei laughed loudly: "Those who have good fortune should keep their promises, otherwise their good fortune will dissipate."

Chu Ning looked at Lao Hei deeply and said, "You know a lot about the way of luck."

“Humph, I am not bragging. In the Central Region, no one can surpass me in terms of attainments in the way of destiny. If those cultivators in the East Sea Region had not been despicable, I would have…”

Lao Hei suddenly stopped talking: "Let's go."

Chu Ning followed Lao Hei outside, and after they walked out for a while, a black shadow slowly appeared in front of the barrier.

This black shadow was none other than Mo Lin.

Mo Lin stared at the barrier for a while, then turned his gaze to the direction where Chu Ning and Lao Hei left, with a strange smile on his lips.

"Even if it's a fake, as long as it can open the treasure house of immortality, I will let you live a little longer."

…

…

"Chun Ning, please take me with you."

"Go away, if you leave with me, neither of us can leave."

"But according to what you said, Mo Lin has already guessed that I'm a fake. He has been so respectful to me all these years. I'm really worried."

"Why are you panicking? I'm helping you stabilize him. Before the barrier is opened, Mo Lin won't expose you. Don't worry."

Chu Ning was also helpless. He also wanted to take Lao Hei away. If something happened to Lao Hei, he would also be implicated.

But it is obvious that Lao Hei has been monitored by Mo Lin. If he takes Lao Hei and runs away now, both of them will be caught before they leave the cave.

"Since the Seven Chi Demon Kings are here, we should contact them more often, drive away the tigers and waves, and make the Mo Lin afraid."

Before leaving, Chu Ning gave Lao Hei some advice, but after he walked out of the cave, he looked at the three figures standing in the distance and could only shake his head helplessly.

Well, it’s not that easy for him to leave.
