Chapter 193
Lin Qinghen:?
He reached out and grabbed the black cat, brought it in front of the photo stone, and asked it to take a good look at the face.
"Are you sure?"
The cat who called himself the devil was tortured by him so much that he lost his temper, so how could he dare to lie?
He really couldn't beat the man in front of him, and he had no strength left, so what he said was really the truth.
"I've fallen into this state, why would I lie to you?" The cat sighed, "I won't mistake you for someone else. I'll remember this face until I die. About ten years ago, this person just fell into the demon world and was very fierce in fighting. Now the whole demon world is almost his. My territory was taken away by him."
Several key points in his words were correct. Lin Qinghen even checked the wound under its burnt fur. It was a sword wound so deep that the bone could be seen. It looked like it was indeed caused by the Jiuxiao Jueyun Sword.
Yin Jiuxiao's swordsmanship was slightly different, and Lin Qinghen remembered it clearly over the past ten years.
The black cat was very nervous, feeling like it had just escaped from a wolf's den and entered a tiger's mouth. It saw the ruthless beauty in front of it scratching at it again after hearing this, and then remained silent for a long time. The emotions in its red eyes were indescribably complicated, and finally it just slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, as long as I know he is still here, nothing else matters.
Lin Qinghen calmed himself down and asked him in more detail, asking him whether this Ling Yun had tried to break through the demon world and go up, and whether he was looking for someone. He shook his head and said he had never heard of him.
If it was Yin Jiuxiao, it would be impossible that he didn't want to come find me in the past ten years. Maybe he encountered some accidents in the demon world.
"...I haven't heard that he is looking for anyone. Besides, what are we doing here? As you can see, the front and back of the continent are two different worlds. I can't stay on the ground for long. The same goes for you spiritual masters. If you stay in an environment full of demonic energy for too long, you will be corroded." It glanced up and down at Lin Qinghen, "You absorbed the Pure Heaven Soul? Then maybe you can stay there."
Lin Qinghen intuitively knew that person was Jiu Xiao, but what it said made him even more confused. He frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Then how can I go to the Demon Realm? Also, the demonic energy has been abnormal recently. Is it because of you?"
"No! Hey, hey, hey, don't do it. What I mean is, it's not all. If I had such great ability, it wouldn't have turned out like this." The black cat stepped back and retracted its claws. "A long time ago, the gaps between the two worlds became more and more. There was an outbreak about a few decades ago, and it was finally blocked. However, it was not completely blocked. It is normal for the demonic energy to rise and fall. It's just that now because there are more gaps, you finally feel it."
His words reminded Lin Qinghen of something else, such as the seed of the immortal vine that they had found in the ruins.
Yin Jiuxiao said that this plant should not have appeared in the spiritual world, and that the ability to absorb demonic energy to survive was the characteristic of demonic plants. Perhaps it was because of such a "gap" that this thing appeared in the spiritual world, and the seeds appeared in the belly of the mud pig.
Perhaps such changes were planted a long time ago.
This also proves that the sudden increase in the number of demonic energy cracks and the anomalies in them were not caused by the so-called "Dark Night Demon King", but the main reason was the demonic energy tide that was bound to occur once every few decades.
It was merely taking advantage of the gap to avoid disaster and recover some strength through the cracks in the magic energy, although it also had its hand in this, and to some extent intensified the magic power.
As for those missing people, it guessed that they must have fallen into the gap.
"Those lost people won't die. As long as they are stuck in position, there's no big danger in the gap. And they won't stay there for too long. They can easily be sent out by the power inside. It shouldn't take so long to find them." The black cat was also puzzled after listening to Lin Qinghen's description, and then said seriously, "Maybe they were caught."
The situation of the black cat is different. It entered the gap on its own initiative because the legendary "Ling Yun" was chasing it. Neither the demon world nor the spirit world was safe, so it could only jump from one gap to another and heal its wounds.
"Who caught him?"
"Ling Yun! He has been trying to catch me in the gap recently, so he should have met these people," the little black cat was indignant, "This is totally something he would do! I tell you, he is the most evil and vicious person in the entire demon world!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as it finished speaking, Lin Qinghen gave it two solid hits on the head. It fell into the barrier, its head buzzing, and it couldn't stand still for a long time.
"Don't talk about him," Lin Qinghen warned it, "He is the best man."
The little black cat looked incredulous: "Open your eyes and look at the wounds on my body before you say that? I only told him off a few times before, but he beat me up until I returned to my original form, and now he's still chasing me!"
There are not many living creatures in the Demon Realm, but they are all difficult to deal with. The order is chaotic, and people fight each other on a daily basis. But now all the living creatures there think that Ling Yun is the most difficult one to deal with, which is enough to show how ruthless this person is.
In his eyes, the only way is to surrender. Even if the person escapes, he will catch him back and make him bow down sincerely.
"You must have done something wrong," Lin Qinghen's filter was bigger than the sky, "Don't let me hear you say bad things about him in the future, or I will remove the barrier."
The little black cat was flexible and immediately admitted his mistake.
Compared with Ling Yun, the beauty in front of him was a little more reasonable. It couldn't escape from Lin Qinghen's hands now, and leaving the barrier would mean death.
Lin Qinghen would not let it die, he was still looking for a way to go to the demon world. But according to the little black cat, most of the demonic cracks did not lead to the demon world. The paths in the gaps were very complicated, and there were countless jump holes inside. Once inside, it would be a maze. Even if it wanted to go back, it would not be that easy.
"Ling Yun is different. He seems to know the way inside to some extent. He should be able to identify the direction inside," the little black cat said, and then his voice became much softer, almost mumbling, "I think he was the one who took those people away."
He didn't dare to mention it in front of Lin Qinghen, nor did he dare to say a bad word about Ling Yun. He could only criticize him in his heart.
In fact, these people were really taken away by Ling Yun.
He discovered it by chance when he was looking for the escaped demon king in the gap, and knew that they were people from the spirit world.
Just like Lin Qinghen's reaction when he saw the black cat, he did exactly the same thing. He took these people back as prisoners.
Ling Yun's power is different from other creatures in the demon world. He is very clear that he is a spiritual demon and can still use spiritual power. These people are trapped in the spiritual power barrier he built and cannot escape. There are ten of them in total.
Half of them had the Yin family's emblem on them, and the rest mostly came from prominent families.
Yes, he recognized that it was the Yin family's pattern, and he even recognized Fu Xin Miao Fa and Bai Lu Zong Heng.
Before leaving, there were still many things that Yin Jiuxiao did not have time to tell Lin Qinghen.
In his previous life, he came out of the Blowing Wind Cliff and used a spiritual tool to cover his spirit and face, so his name naturally had to be covered up. He couldn't be called Yin Jiuxiao, so he changed it slightly according to the meaning of the Jiuxiao Jueyun Sword and called himself Lingyun. He used this name for many years, and later the entire spiritual world knew that he was the long-missing Yin Jiuxiao.
The only thing he remembered now was this name, and his memory was somewhat fragmentary. He had no memory of this life at all, but the memory of his previous life started from Ling Yun, and the rest was still relatively clear.
He even remembered that he tried to break through the void, and then he found himself here when he opened his eyes, his body covered with wounds and his strength decreased.
Amnesia is nothing in the demon world. Most of the creatures here have no past, and Ling Yun already remembers a lot.
So as a person who is missing something, he may not even feel that he is missing something, because the blank part is not that much. He just forgot his identity as a member of the Yin family.
From the moment he became "Ling Yun", the Yin family no longer existed. So after these were lightly erased, some nodes were blurred, and some elements were replaced, everything became more logical.
So in Ling Yun's eyes, this was the beginning of his second life after breaking through the void. The reason why it was the second life was that he had been to the Demon Realm in his previous life, and it was not like this at that time.
He keenly felt the change in time, as if he had returned to the past. So in the past ten years, he had been recuperating in the Demon Realm while stepping up his training. Now he has already reached the ninth star of the Heavenly Rank. Although there is still a gap compared to when he broke the void before, he has also reached the top position.
The dual cultivation of spirits and demons is not comparable to the other nine stars of the heavenly rank. The demon world is boring, so he thinks about moving up.
I don’t know what the spirit world is like now.
As expected, when he was sleepy, someone came to bring him a pillow. He found these people in the gap when he was chasing the escaped evil king of the dark night, and he had pried out a lot of things from their mouths, including the current situation in the spirit world.
In particular, the children of the Yin family told him a very interesting thing. In this life, the Yin family did not perish, but instead became the number one in the spiritual world.
"Don't be afraid," Ling Yun also heard the children comforting each other, "The young lady will come to rescue us soon."
Which young lady of the Yin family?
Ling Yun remembered this person and began to make some plans in his mind.
No one knew who the person who had kidnapped them was. He would occasionally come over to ask questions, but in the dim light, they could not see his face, only his figure. They did not know where this place was, nor did they know what the other party was planning to do. They certainly did not know that Ling Yun was planning to trade with them.
Since they all come from noble families, it wouldn't be excessive to use them to exchange some things for those people in the spiritual world and find out what's going on over there, right?
In the current spiritual world, after Lin Qinghen found solid evidence about the demon world, he told the Shen family, Leng Qiuyue and Pei Xiang.
Fu Xin Miao Fa and Bai Lu Zong Heng both had people who disappeared in the cracks in the demonic energy. After listening to Lin Qinghen's speculation about this matter and looking at the cat again, they still found it hard to believe.
Is there really a demon world?
But not long after, the legendary demon world actually sent them news, proving this point once again.
This news was actually delivered by a man. He appeared in the crack of demonic energy, riding on a beast catalyzed by demonic energy. From the appearance, he was no different from a spiritual master.
According to him, he is the demon envoy of the current Demon Lord Lingyun.
This demon envoy is extremely powerful, and is classified as at least seven stars in the heavenly rank. Unlike the little black cat that has been beaten back to its original form, ordinary spiritual energy from the outside world can no longer have the slightest effect on him.
The other party said that these people were in the hands of the demon world, and if they wanted them back, they would have to exchange conditions with him.
The Demon Lord wanted a piece of land - that was originally owned by the Suye Fairy Mountain, which was the location of the Demon Sealing Gorge.
The area of Suye Fairy Mountain is not that large now, and the land of Fengmo Gorge is under the control of the alliance.
It has long since changed to what it was before, but there are still some traces of strange aura left. It has been transformed into a normal training ground by the Alliance. It is very suitable for Earth-level and some low-level Sky-level stars, and you can learn a lot in it.
There is a reason why I want that place.
Ling Yun always felt vaguely that he had lost something in the spiritual world. There were some vague marks in his mind. He remembered some of them over the years, and that place was one of them.
However, after the alliance transformed the place, there were too many spiritual facilities and the spiritual energy was too dense, so it was very difficult for him to use the demonic energy to invade violently.
Anyway, those prisoners were dropped for nothing, so it's just right to use them to exchange for that piece of land, so I don't have to worry about it anymore.
Lin Qinghen did not meet the demon messenger face to face. The news was conveyed to him by someone else. According to him, he would come back after three days to give them three days to discuss.
"Reply to him and tell him to send all the hostages back and not to harm them," Lin Qinghen said, "Also, I want Demon Lord Lingyun to come and talk in person."
Lin Qinghen has not yet said that Ling Yun is Yin Jiuxiao. He needs further confirmation, and meeting is naturally the best way.
Lin Qinghen was not the only one who came to the meeting with the Demon Lord this time. There were other people among the hostages. And it was a "Demon Lord" who suddenly appeared. It was natural for Leng Qiuyue and Pei Xiang to be present. People from the alliance also came.
According to the requirements of the demon world, the meeting place was chosen on an open space with very weak spiritual energy around it.
The people in the alliance didn't want to be restrained, so they secretly set up some spiritual weapon formations in advance, hoping to test the opponent's strength, but they didn't expect that the Demon Lord Ling Yun would appear alone.
He was dressed in black clothes, exuding demonic aura, and half of his body was covered by a mask. When the spiritual weapon formation trap was activated, he only raised his hand slightly, and the power under his hands rolled up a storm, instantly destroying all his plans.
Lin Qinghen saw that he was not holding a sword in his hand, nor could he see the shape of the sword. In other words, when a sword cultivator becomes strong to a certain extent, every ray of force becomes the edge of a sword.
The demonic energy and the spiritual energy seem to be mutually reinforcing and restraining. Whoever is stronger will have the upper hand. The demonic energy on this person is too strong. Demonic energy has a natural corrosive effect on spiritual energy. After the formation was destroyed, the demonic energy exploded, which seemed like some kind of backlash, causing Leng Qiuyue and the others to feel a sting in their eyes, and they dared not look directly at him for a moment.
This was his way of showing power to the people in the spiritual world.
The power of this demon lord is probably unfathomable.
In this place, perhaps only Lin Qinghen could stand up straight and look at him directly. The power of Cui Tianhun was actively protecting him.
Facing a faint red light, the first person Ling Yun looked at was also him.
Among so many people, Lin Qinghen is the most conspicuous one.
After the storm, the leader of the alliance felt something was wrong and calmed down a little. However, he only said one word before he was interrupted by the Demon Lord.
"Wait, we need to change the subject of our discussion this time."
"In exchange for the hostages, I don't want that piece of land anymore."
Lord Demon stared at Lin Qinghen closely: "I want him."
The author has something to say: ??Leng Qiuyue, who was watching: A vague sense of familiarity...
