Chapter 287: Demon-Suppressing Pass Lost
"Heavenly Secret Pearl, are the elixirs and natural treasures in this storage ring harmful to me?"
"harmless."
To be on the safe side, Ning Ruoxi also asked the Tianjizhu to ensure that these elixirs and natural treasures had not been tampered with.
The conflicts among the seed disciples in the Seventh Hall were resolved by Ning Ruoxi, and Ning Ruoxi now spends her days mainly practicing.
The four seasons continue to cycle, but they have no effect on the secret realm where the Immortal Temple is located.
Twenty years passed quietly, and Fu Liyang was still in seclusion. It was conceivable that the previous battle with the three people from Wuji Palace had left him seriously injured.
Elder Sun called all the disciples of the Seventh Hall to his side, "The First Hall has issued a new mission, requiring all disciples to go out and hunt demons. The Demon Suppression Pass... has been lost!"
"What?" Elder Sun's words shocked all the disciples.
The loss of Demon-Suppressing Pass means that the demons have completely invaded the fairyland. If one wants to drive the demons out of the fairyland in the future, it will require cultivators to search every inch of land in the fairyland to prevent any demons from remaining.
"I really don't know what the point is of the First Palace asking us to hunt demons now?"
"Yes! We were not allowed to go out earlier. Now that the Demon-Suppressing Pass has been lost, what's the point of us going out again?"
"There are endless demons outside, and the war between immortals and demons is about to begin again. I don't know when the peaceful days will return."
"Alas, I don't know how many of us can survive until the end of the Immortal-Devil War."
“…”
"Okay, no need to say more. You can prepare now and set off immediately. Unless there are special reasons, you must report back to the Immortal God Temple in ten years. If you don't, you will be treated as a traitor." Elder Sun interrupted the conversation and privately sent a message to Ning Ruoxi, "Ning Baibai, come and see me."
After all the disciples dispersed, Ning Ruoxi came to Elder Sun, who immediately told her, "Ning Baibai, the hall master wanted to go with you, but the hall master has assigned him another task this time."
"The Palace Master told you to be careful. If you can't do it, find a place to hide outside. All the combat disciples of the Immortal God Palace need to be dispatched this time."
Ning Ruoxi nodded and said, "Mr. Sun, what happened in the outside world? Why did the Demon Suppression Pass suddenly fall?"
"Alas..." Old Sun sighed.
"I'm not quite sure what the Grand Hall Master is thinking. Logically, when the demons invade, every cultivator has the responsibility to fight, but the Grand Hall Master has asked us to stay in the Immortal God Temple."
"It is said that the Demon Suppression Pass was lost, and many cultivators from the outside world came to ask the Immortal God Palace to help. The Grand Palace Master ordered the disciples to go into battle."
Originally, discussing the Grand Hall Master was considered a taboo in the Immortal God Temple, but Elder Sun also knew how much Fu Liyang valued Ning Ruoxi, so he simply did not hide it and told the truth.
Ning Ruoxi left the Seventh Palace and returned to her cave, where she found Ji Junrui and Yao Baitao both at the door of her cave.
The two did not speak, but they both understood each other's situation.
"Why did you come to see me?" Ning Ruoxi asked the two of them.
Ji Junrui asked first: "What are your plans for this trip? Do you want to go with me?"
Yao Baitao nodded and said, "That's what I wanted to ask."
"Just do your own thing! As long as you're alive, that's fine." Ning Ruoxi replied simply.
Ji Junrui hesitated to speak, and Ning Ruoxi saw what he wanted to say.
"Are you worried that I might be in danger and die, which would trigger your blood oath?"
Ning Ruoxi saw through their thoughts at a glance.
The only reason I want to go together is because I am worried about the blood oath.
Even though his secret was exposed, Ji Junrui was not embarrassed. Instead, he admitted it frankly, "Yes."
Ning Ruoxi waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about that. If I die, it won't implicate you."
"Come in, both of you. I have something to ask you."
Ji Junrui and Yao Baitao entered Ning Ruoxi's cave together.
"Everyone, sit down!" Ning Ruoxi sat on the bed. Ji Junrui and Yao Baitao looked around. Ning Ruoxi asked them to sit down, but there was not even a chair in the cave. How could they sit?
Yao Baitao took out a chair from the storage ring and sat down.
Ji Junrui saw that both of them were sitting, so he stood up. He felt like he was being scrutinized, so he simply sat on the floor.
"Why do you want to become the Palace Master?" Ning Ruoxi asked, then looked at Yao Baitao and said, "You tell me first."
Yao Baitao replied as a matter of course: "Becoming a hall master can lead the Seventh Hall and become the master of the Twelve Halls, which is the highest. There is nothing wrong with that."
Before Ning Ruoxi asked Ji Junrui, Ji Junrui agreed: "Yes, I think so too."
"Where will those abdicated palace masters go?"
"I'm not sure about that, but after the new Palace Master took over, the old Palace Master never showed up again."
Ning Ruoxi fell into deep thought and never appeared again? What does it mean?
Could it be that after breaking through the Immortal Emperor realm, one can ascend and leave the Immortal Realm?
Fu Liyang is at the peak of his powers, and he is anxious to train a new palace master, presumably in order to obtain a way to break through the Immortal Emperor realm, otherwise he would certainly not be so active.
No stranger in this world will suddenly be nice to you. Ning Ruoxi could understand that Fu Liyang was using her and wanted her to replace Fu Liyang.
"How much do you know about the First Temple?"
"Except for being able to freely enter and exit the Immortal God Temple, the disciples of the First Hall are similar to us in other aspects. However, the First Hall's Grand Hall Master is very powerful. Every time I see him, I feel a palpitation in my heart. This is a power that other hall masters do not have."
"Does the First Hall have any seed disciples?"
"No."
"Then there is no one to take over the position of Grand Hall Master?"
"I don't think so! As far as I remember, the positions of the eleven hall masters have been rotated, but the Grand Hall Master has always been the same person."
Ji Junrui and Yao Baitao felt that there was something wrong with Ning Ruoxi. Why was Ning Ruoxi asking these questions?
The two did not dare to ask Ning Ruoxi, as knowing too much would not be a good thing.
"Okay, you guys go now! But I need you to keep an eye on the situation in the First Hall, preferably news about the Grand Hall Master."
Ji Junrui swallowed a breath and said, "Junior Sister Ning, you are really making things difficult for us..."
Ning Ruoxi said, "Try your best! I won't punish you if you don't do it well, but if you do it well, I can return the essence and blood to you."
Ji Junrui and Yao Baitao looked at each other and said, "Okay, this is what you said, you can't go back on your word."
There will be motivation only if there is a reward. It is too slow for Ning Ruoxi to find out the information by herself, so it would be good to have a few more people to help.
Yao Baitao and Ji Junrui have followers who can play a certain role.
After seeing the two off, Ning Ruoxi left the Immortal Temple and went to Yunzhong City. She wanted to confirm one thing.
That is what the reputation of the Immortal Temple is like now.
