Chapter 787: Goodbye to the Distant Mountains
This altar is similar to the altar in Xiandu. If the black-clothed demon cultivator hadn’t told me in advance, I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference without looking carefully.
But Xu Qiuqian was not surprised.
The altars are similar, which means that their functions should not be too different.
She walked towards the altar and took a few hundred steps forward, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and only a little light could be seen in the front, and in the light, a female demon cultivator with fiery red hair was shone. The female demon cultivator was muttering something, and her hair was blown wildly by the strong wind.
Afterwards, the light grew bigger and brighter, so bright that it was blinding, and the sound of the wind gradually became shrill and extremely harsh.
Xu Qiuqian stood there and didn't move forward.
A quarter of an hour later, the light disappeared, the dark surroundings became bright again, and the wind stopped.
The female demon cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood and her face turned extremely bad. She wiped the corner of her mouth nonchalantly and turned to look in the direction of Xu Qiuqian.
"Please come over, Manager Xu, and have a chat."
Within a few breaths, Xu Qiuqian arrived in front of the female demon cultivator.
The female demon cultivator stood up and bowed her head to Xu Qiuqian and saluted: "Manager Xu, I have long heard of your great name. My name is Xuanyi."
Since the other party was so polite, Xu Qiuqian naturally would not be rude to him like he was to those demon cultivators before. He nodded slightly towards the other party.
"Please take a seat."
There were two extra cushions on the ground. The female demon cultivator sat down, and Xu Qiuqian also sat down.
She was just thinking about where to start, but unexpectedly Xuan Yi said, "Manager Xu must be very curious about how our demon race knew about the Yujie and Xiandu, right?"
Since the other party brought it up first, she didn't beat around the bush: "I am indeed curious."
Xuan Yi looked stunned.
"The magical power of our Yuanling Bird clan is that we can use our essence, blood, and lifespan to calculate everything. At that time, the Yuanling Bird clan leader sensed that the demon clan might be in great trouble, so he used all his lifespan to calculate that the Heavenly Dao of the rest of the world had fallen into a deep sleep. This was done by someone."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
She didn't expect that the demon clan knew all this by calculation.
Moreover, the magical power of the Yuanling Bird is similar to that of the Tianyi Beast.
"So the leader of the Yuanling Bird Clan calculated the void?"
"No, she only figured out that Tiandao had fallen into a deep sleep. This piece of information alone consumed her entire lifespan."
Xu Qiuqian was not too surprised.
That is the way of heaven after all.
Deducing the laws of nature will definitely come at a huge price.
But how did the demons know the other information?
Xuan Yi continued, "This information is no less important than the destruction of the rest of the world, so the demon race sent out most of their demons to investigate the man who caused the Heavenly Dao to fall into a deep sleep. For this, hundreds of thousands of demons died and it took a thousand years. With the help of our Yuanling Bird's calculations, we finally learned the identity of this person and the existence of the Immortal City."
Having said that, she looked at Xu Qiuqian.
"Since then, every clan leader of our Yuanling Bird clan has been looking for a way out for the demon clan, but every time they calculated, there was only one result, that is, to become a vassal of the Immortal Emperor and do things for him. The demon clan might have left a few demons, until one hundred and twenty years ago."
If only a few monsters are left, what's the difference between that and completely destroying them?
But what Xuan Yi said to her one hundred and twenty years ago made her a little concerned.
What was it one hundred and twenty years ago? Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through my mind.
"When was I born?"
Xuan Yi smiled and nodded, but the smile soon disappeared. She stared at Xu Qiuqian, as if she wanted to see through her, and looked her up and down.
"The deduction at that time only pointed to Manager Xu. Apart from that, there was no other information. So I sent a demon to lurk beside Manager Xu, wanting to know why the deduction pointed to you."
There was something wrong with the other party's tone, and Xu Qiuqian remembered that she might not have crossed over at that time, so she asked thoughtfully: "Do you think your calculation is wrong?"
After all, the original body at that time, apart from having better spiritual roots, there was nothing special about him.
She could actually understand the original body, but for the demon clan, their hopes were directed towards the original body, and since the original body did not show any difference, they would naturally be suspicious.
"Yes, so seventeen years after you were born, I saw you trapped in a formation and your spiritual veins were destroyed, so I left."
Unexpectedly, after she left, Xu Qiuqian actually made a comeback, and her uniqueness was fully revealed only when her spiritual vein was damaged.
Xuan Yi sighed and said with a wry smile: "If Manager Xu had shown your abilities from the beginning, we wouldn't have..."
Hearing this, Xu Qiuqian looked puzzled.
"Not really?"
She had a vague feeling that what Xuan Yi was going to say next would not be simple.
"Next, I would like to ask Manager Xu to meet someone."
Xu Qiuqian responded, and saw Xuan Yi clapping his hands.
She couldn't help but think of Chitong Pavilion.
Isn't the head of the Chitong Pavilion a demon? Could it be that the person she was asked to meet was Chitong?
But if that's the case, there's no need for Xuan Yi to be so mysterious.
The next moment, a strong demonic aura appeared, coming from far away, and Xu Qiuqian widened his eyes.
"you……"
Subconsciously, the pressure from her distraction period was released and rushed towards the person who came.
When she was about to touch this person, she withdrew her pressure and stared at him coldly with a grim expression.
There was no expression on this person's face. He came in front of Xu Qiuqian and Xuan Yi, half-knelt and lowered his head.
“Patriarch.”
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
"Are you from the Yuanling Bird Clan?"
No, she remembered that in the Five Flowers Illusion, Su Xianshi had said that his magical power was that he could split himself into an identical self, and his cultivation was only one realm lower than his own, and he was the mount of the Immortal Emperor Xukong! Yes, the person in front of her was no one else.
It was Daoist Master Yuanshan who repeatedly put her in danger and made her gnashing her teeth! At this moment, Xu Qiuqian finally understood why the demons knew so much.
As Xukong's most trusted subordinate, Yuanshan naturally knows a lot.
"No, you should have the power of the void in your body, then how did you..." Xu Qiuqian frowned even more tightly.
"I am not from the Yuanling Bird clan. I was just saved by the clan leader. As for the divine power in my body, it is in my original body, so the clone will not be affected by the divine power."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
Then he heard Yuanshan say, "Xukong doesn't know about this."
“…”
"Manager Xu, do you have any questions?"
Xu Qiuqian continued to remain silent, she was more confused.
In addition to what Yuanshan just explained, there is also the pursuit of the original body and her by Yuanshan and the Chitong Pavilion, as well as the pursuit of the other four spirits.
Since Xuanyi deduced that the hope of the demon clan was her, why did Yuanshan and Chitong Pavilion chase her? Even if Chitong Pavilion didn't know all this, Yuanshan must know it, right?
Could it be that——
She looked toward the distant mountains.
"So you knew all this when you were chasing me?"
Yuanshan nodded silently.
