Tianyuan Prefecture, the capital of immortals.
Tianyuan Prefecture is located in the center of Jiuzhou, and the other eight prefectures surround it. Xiandu has been the capital of Jiuzhou since the Immortal Emperor period ten thousand years ago. Now the Immortal Alliance has set up the former imperial palace as a meeting place, and it still represents the supreme power of Jiuzhou.
In the morning mist, the palace faintly showed the magnificent outline of glazed green tiles and silver eaves. Inside the palace, pearl curtains separated the rooms and silver bricks were paved with red fur. A tall figure walked in steadily, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold stars and a white satin lining. His long black hair was tied at the side of his neck with a white silk ribbon. The only thing on his body besides black and white was a small golden laurel leaf embroidered on the end of the hairband. His eyebrows were calm and gentle.
"Alliance leader," Yun Ci sat on the right side of the main seat, staring at Xing Yuan who walked in impatiently, "What are the astrological signs?"
Xing Yuan took his seat at the main seat without haste, tapped his palm with the Thousand Machine Fan, looked around at the people in the council and smiled: "Don't worry, everyone, Quan Xing is no longer a concern. Because--"
"Baili Yaoyue is about to ascend."
The crowd around them suddenly burst into an uproar, setting off waves of buzzing. In the past tens of thousands of years, only a handful of people have ascended to heaven in Qianyuan Continent, and no one has succeeded in ascending in the past few thousand years. Even the powerful Sword Master could not survive the thunder tribulation. Baili Yaonu bullied her teacher and ancestors, bullied the weak, slaughtered the entire Lingxiao Sect, killed the head of Wanjian Mountain, and completely broke the balance of Jiuzhou. Why is such a great evil person recognized by the Heavenly Dao?
"Should we take this opportunity to..."
"Jiuzhou can no longer fight among itself." Xingyuan's fox eyes suddenly had some coldness and hardness in them, sweeping across everyone's faces with different expressions, carrying an indescribable heavy weight, "Tianbang has returned to his position, Tianlang has moved east, and the Demon Realm is about to send troops."
For a moment, there was complete silence.
Everyone present had seen what kind of monster the Demon King was on the Shenglong Terrace that day. If Baili Yaoyue ascended to heaven, and there was no second person in Jiuzhou to ascend to the immortal realm, I'm afraid that all the people in the world would be devastated.
Yun Ci sighed in regret, "It's all my fault for being so impatient that I allowed the true disciple to practice the Sky-Splitting Sword Intent... Who would have thought that someone with devil blood could actually comprehend the Sky-Splitting Sword Intent..."
Ten thousand years ago, the Demon Realm was not yet a major force, with only a few scattered demon cultivators roaming around. It was not until the last Immortal Emperor was beheaded by the man who created the Sky-Smashing Sword Intent because of his tyranny and appalling cultivation methods that the remaining royal family fled to the Demon Realm and the current Demon Emperor was formed.
The blood of the true devil should actually be called the blood of the Immortal Emperor. It is forbidden and sinful.
At that time, the Qianyuan Continent respected the strong, and as the Immortal Emperor, who was in a position above everyone else, one had to have unrivaled strength. The first Immortal Emperor, Ji Yuan, swept across the world, and everyone in the world submitted to him. But talent is something that cannot be inherited, nor can it be determined by people. After several generations, the royal family gradually declined, and when many heroes were around, the Immortal Emperor made a desperate move and used a cruel forbidden technique -
Eat golden elixir.
When one reaches the Golden Core stage, a pill will form in the Dantian. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Golden Core of a cultivator is his second heart. This forbidden technique involves cutting out a living person's Golden Core for one's own consumption. Not only can one directly absorb the opponent's mana, but one can also cleanse one's spiritual roots, and even cultivate a natural spiritual root.
The Immortal Emperor succeeded in consolidating his kingdom, but the royal bloodline was also cursed by this forbidden technique. Not only could the mother hardly survive the birth, but the prince's mind would gradually become manic and bloodthirsty as he grew older, killing people without hesitation. This forbidden technique was not abolished, but was passed down from generation to generation until the last Immortal Emperor became a monster who could never be satisfied no matter how many golden pills he ate.
That earth-shattering battle caused rivers of blood to flow in Xiandu, and to this day, the outskirts of Xiandu are still surrounded by a lingering aura of the underworld.
The Sky-Breaking Sword Intent and the True Demon Blood were originally mortal enemies, but now they appear in the same person, which is really sad.
***
Xiandu, paradise.
After Baili Yaoyue used the revelation array to show up in the Immortal Alliance five years ago, no one dared to mention the matter of attacking Quanxing. Quanxing expanded rapidly in the past five years. Bai Ruyu even bought a gambling house in Xiandu and transformed it into the headquarters of Quanxing, named Jiletian.
The outer courtyard of Jiletian was an auction house during the day and a gambling house at night. All the prostitutes and male servants who were unwilling to leave Lanxue Pavilion came here to patronize it. It was very popular in Xiandu for a while. Some wealthy people even spent huge sums of money to ask to see Bai Ruyu. Quan Xing made a fortune.
At this moment, outside the Paradise, the disciples of the Quanxing Headquarters had lined up in a long queue, waiting along the long jade steps to welcome them. At the end of the queue stood several Quanxing helmsmen. Li Yun, who was the most unstable, could not help but pace back and forth on the wide stone steps, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
According to the girl's order five years ago, Bai Ruyu handed over the Yongningzhou branch to Azhi, and took over the position of acting leader at the Jiletian headquarters. The five leaders of Quanxing and Quanxing have been nicknamed "Five Poison Hearts" by the Immortal Alliance, implying that Baili Yaoyue has all five poisons.
A beam of green light streaked across the sky, and the girl in red landed gracefully. Instantly, everyone was excited and cheered.
"Welcome, Master! Welcome, Master!"
Most of the Quan Xing disciples here have never seen her, but who doesn't want to see the face of the world's number one master?
In the morning light, the girl's face looked like a piece of jade, with long eyelashes drooping, a little proud and a little charming. Her eyes seemed to be faintly shining, and at a glance, they were as bright and crystal as obsidian.
Li Yun went to meet him happily, but she didn't even look at him. In an instant, she was in front of the jade-like beautiful boy.
“Bang!”
The slap was so solid that it almost sent out a string of sparks on the white jade temple, and four swollen finger marks instantly appeared on the cheek.
There was a hint of surprise and confusion on Bai Ruyu's face, but she did not hide. She just stood there without moving.
"This slap is for you to repay kindness with enmity and use illusion to do dirty things to me."
In the astonished eyes of everyone——
“Bang!”
Another slap, the boy's left face swelled up, blood spread from his ear to the corner of his mouth, like a blood streak, and he finally spoke in disbelief: "Yao Yue..."
The girl smiled at him. There was something indescribably beautiful and cold in that smile. If you looked closely, you could see a hint of hatred in it.
"This slap is for you who deceived your superiors and subordinates and caused others to have evil thoughts."
According to her previous temper, it would probably be more than just two slaps. But she was about to ascend to heaven and didn't want to commit murder again. Besides, she still had some use for him.
Li Yun has the mind of a child, Qin Qianxue is too cold and arrogant, Zhang Chi and Azhi are not at a high enough level to convince others, so entrusting Quan Xing to Bai Ruyu is undoubtedly the best choice.
The girl stood at the end of the jade steps. The breeze blew her blood-red clothes. She opened her red lips slightly and spoke softly, but every word seemed to echo directly in everyone's mind, as if it came from the distant sky above -
"After tomorrow, Bai Ruyu will be the new leader of Quan Xing."
