"Your Highness, I have something to report."
Zhu Xuanshen walked over.
"explain."
"Your Highness, the Fallen Immortal Sect and the Yellow Spring Demon Sect in the north have also joined the Dragon Cloud Empire's ranks, adding ten Nascent Soul Realm experts and over forty Golden Core Realm cultivators to their ranks. Moreover, it is said that the Nascent Soul Realm demon from the Yellow Spring Demon Sect, who has been in seclusion for over seven hundred years, has emerged and will soon be heading south..."
Zhu Xuanshen left his words at that, believing that his prince had already understood the implications.
So far, the enemy has three Nascent Soul Realm experts in command.
They are Su Qingcang, the ruler of the Longyun Empire who is based in the capital, the chief elder of the Longyun Empire, and the great demon of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect who is about to arrive.
On their side, only the master of the Star-Picking Tower is currently stationed at the Heavenly Gate, facing off against the royal grand master from afar.
"How is the situation with the Sword Ancestor of Heavenly Sword City, whom I asked to convey my message in my name?"
Xiao Xuan spoke.
Zhu Xuanshen respectfully replied, "Your Highness, news has come from Heavenly Sword City that the Sword Ancestor is still in seclusion, at the most crucial juncture of his breakthrough. He is likely unable to spare any attention, but they have already dispatched three Nascent Soul Realm experts and twelve Golden Core Realm experts."
"Um. "
Xiao Xuan nodded, pondered for a moment, then wrote a letter and handed it to Zhu Xuanshen, saying, "Send someone to deliver this letter to the Heavenly Demon Palace, and make sure it reaches the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhu Xuanshen took the envelope, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Your Highness, should we withdraw our troops first and then proceed cautiously?"
"It's alright."
Xiao Xuan waved his hand dismissively. "My master has already sent my junior sister down the mountain to help me."
"Your senior sister?"
Zhu Xuanshen paused for a moment, then said with considerable speculation, "Your Highness, I once met your master. As far as I know, he was only a Nascent Soul cultivator. Under these circumstances, even if your junior sister is also a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to turn the tide of the battle. More importantly, as long as Su Qingcang remains in the capital, we are probably powerless against him."
"You only need to pass on the order for the Vermilion Bird Guards and the other six divisions to construct the Vermilion Bird Grand Formation and guard this Absolute Heaven Canyon. I will take care of the rest."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhu Xuanshen accepted the order and withdrew.
Xiao Xuan stood atop the canyon mountain, his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast landscape with a melancholy expression.
In fact, Xiao Xuan also had some doubts in his heart, but he chose to believe his master because he always felt that his master was very mysterious... because his ancestral treasures were also very numerous.
........
"Master, when is Yi Cheng coming back?"
On Turtle Mountain, Qin Shou and his apprentice Wen Qing were soaking their feet by the Spirit Pool when Little Fatty came running over, clutching a large grape in each hand.
Her big eyes blinked and sparkled.
"What? You're missing Yi Cheng?"
Qin Shou pinched the little fat boy's cheek and smiled.
"Mmm, I've thought about it."
The chubby boy nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice. "With Yi Cheng gone, no one takes me on mountain patrols anymore."
Qin Shou said, "Why don't you, Da Mei, and Black Rabbit go?"
Little Fatty wrinkled his little nose and shook his head cutely, "No, no, there are big monsters in the mountains. Without Yi Cheng to protect me, they will eat me and my sister."
Last time, Black Rabbit almost had its leg bitten off by a powerful monster, but luckily Orange was strong enough to kill the monster with a single punch.
The chubby boy gestured fiercely.
Qin Shou chuckled, "Little Fatty, you're already a Great Demon King at the Golden Core Realm, what are you afraid of?"
"That's right, I'm already a Great Demon King at the Golden Core Realm, I'm not afraid."
Little Fatty's big eyes lit up, and he immediately ran off to call Da Mei and Black Rabbit.
"Sister, Black Rabbit, let's go patrol the mountain!"
"I want to eat meat today, let's go catch a wild boar!"
Little Fatty's greatest talent is using the most innocent childish voice to say the most vicious things.
This strange contrast made Wenqing laugh so hard she was stunned.
"Young friend, would you like to play a game of chess with this old man?"
Just then, Master Roshi from the back mountain came over and set up a chessboard under the peach tree.
"OK. "
Qin Shou smiled, aired his feet, got up and walked over.
Petals flutter down from the peach tree, and the sound of peaches falling echoes beneath it...
........
Three months later, Xiao Xuan wrote to ask why his junior sister had not arrived yet.
Qin Shou was stunned. Logically speaking, Yi Cheng should have arrived long ago.
So I quietly opened my [Friends] list and clicked on the profile picture of a chubby girl.
On his first day down the mountain, your apprentice Yi Cheng encountered several minor demons blocking his path. He made them swim in the pot.
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, has strayed from the right path...
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, has strayed off course...
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, was tricked into mining.
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, possesses astonishing mining talent, earning praise from fellow miners and the appreciation of the mine manager.
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, lost himself in praise and became obsessed with mining, mining like crazy every day.
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, was disliked by the mine manager and kicked out because of his enormous appetite.
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, is lost...
[Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, has run back to mining again. The mine manager wanted to kick her out, but she immediately performed her signature "Yi Cheng-style goose quack," which scared the mine manager so much that he kept her and promised to feed her every day.]
[Your apprentice ate three thousand bowls of rice in one meal, and said he was only half full. The mine manager cried, and the other miners whose meals were divided in half also cried.]
[Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, demonstrates the magic of the big black wok, allowing the hardworking miners to experience the joy of good food for the first time.]
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, accidentally cooked the mine manager's pet and even asked the mine manager if it tasted good. The mine manager nodded tearfully and said it was delicious.
Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, has become a tyrant at the Black Mountain Mine.
【.................】
"Holy crap~"
Qin Shou was stunned by Yi Cheng's story.
Even following the arrows can lead you astray...
The Qin beast used the "space-time teleportation" function and disappeared from its original spot in one step.
at this time.
Yunzhou, on a certain black mountain mine.
A chubby little girl, covered in black, held a small iron shovel aloft, next to her was Da Bao, a black and white furry dog that was now only black.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"
"Sister Yi Cheng is awesome! Sister Yi Cheng is mighty!"
"Congratulations, Sister Yi Cheng! You emptied a mine in three days, setting a new historical record!!!"
Below the mountains are enthusiastic and passionate miners.
"Goose, goose, goose..."
As Yicheng listened to her friends' sincere praise, she kept making goose-like calls.
In the void, Qin Shou took a step out, and his first reaction was to use the system to check his surroundings. Only after finding no danger did he use his divine sense to scan the surroundings.
After figuring out the situation, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
What is all this nonsense...?
Especially that little dark-skinned girl, is she my disciple?
"One orange."
Qin Shou called out.
"Hey! Master, what brings you here!"
Yi Cheng ran over happily and tugged at Qin Shou's sleeve.
"Master, look, these are the new coworkers the goose just met."
Yi Cheng introduced them to Qin Shou: "That's Big Dog, that's Second Dog, that's Third Black, that's Little Ming..."
Qin Shou looked at the little black charcoal rubbing against him and his forehead started to ache. He couldn't help it; his germaphobia was acting up again.
"Yicheng, how did you get lost?"
Qin Shou patiently and gently said, "Didn't I tell you to follow the little arrow in your mind?"
Yi Cheng tilted her head back and said, "Goose, goose, goose, Master, the little arrow in my mind is so much fun. When the goose moves, it moves too, so the goose wants to run in the opposite direction of it to play around."
"Goose, goose, goose... Later, the goose made so many good friends, and they even shared their food with it."
"Running in the opposite direction...???"
Qin Shou's lips twitched... I was momentarily speechless.
"Go on."
Qin Shou grabbed Yi Cheng and Da Bao, spun them around, and threw them northeast.
Then it teleports back to Turtle Mountain.
