Chapter 89: Despicable Stranger [Two chapters in one, three or four chapters for the leader Coconut Crab's shell! ]
Before the Sword Inheritance Conference and before the Monster Alliance attacked the mountain, the sudden chaos in the Xueyan Sect was not a good sign! The whole sect sounded the bells and drums of martial law.
At the top of Baicao Peak, Xiao Bai and his companions were particularly nervous.
Could it be that the Jade Pot was discovered? Mu Yun and Yi Jianhu stared at her in surprise.
Xiao Bai was also shocked, but pretended not to know.
Only Yuhu himself was exceptionally calm, flipping through the pharmacopoeia while slowly drinking tea.
"I have long suspected that there is a demon inside the door. If that is true, you should be careful when you go out."
Mu Yun stared at Yu Hu with a cold face, thinking of what happened last night...
You are the monster, the monster of the abyss!
"You can't wait until you go out to be careful. I think you have to be careful in Baicao Peak, especially don't drink tea from strangers casually."
Xiao Bai didn't expect that this witch was also an expert at being weird.
Yu Hu didn't even raise his head and said calmly:
"Some teas at Baicao Peak are shape-revealing teas. When a demon drinks it, it will take on the form of an animal, and when a devil drinks it, it will transform into a demon."
Obviously, Yu Hu had never shown his demonic form in front of Mu Yun, but Mu Yun had shown his devilish form many times.
"you--"
Mu Yun's voice choked and he was speechless for a long time.
Xiao Bai thought, old ginger is still spicy.
At this time, the woman beside the pool also added: "If a lustful dog drinks it, he will also turn into a dog."
Xiao Bai:
“…”
After thinking for a long time, he could not refute it. Xiao Bai had to keep this grudge in mind and play a good trick on her in the future.
At this moment, he quickly changed the subject and said, "The detection of demonic energy at this time, could it be related to the Demon Alliance's imminent attack on the mountain gate?"
Mu Yun also followed to ease the embarrassment:
"Speaking of which, did the master of the sect want to check whether our sect's formation defense is up to standard before the demon alliance attacks?"
The two of them followed suit, and Xiao Bai threw out another question: "I'm thinking of a question. Even if the Demon Alliance conquers the Xueyan Sect, they will have to station there for a long time. Aren't they afraid that the Taoist Alliance will send patrol ships over later?"
“It’s a matter of cost.”
Mu Yun made a very clear analysis: "If the Demon Alliance can take down our sect without destroying the mountain protection formation, with a Spirit Severing Realm Great Demon stationed there and a beast tide arranged around it, it will be difficult for the general Earth-class patrol ship fleet to counterattack. As for the more powerful Heaven-class patrol ships... that involves the issue of cost."
"The Xueyan Sect is considered pretty good in the surrounding area, but it is just average in the entire Tianyuan Continent. Its status is not even comparable to the several large mining areas in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
"Since the Dao Alliance can send high-level patrol ships, and the Demon Alliance can send ancient beasts, it will eventually become a war of attrition and a tug-of-war... The Dao Alliance is launching a war to exterminate evil spirits across the Tianyuan Continent. Is the small Xueyan Sect worth it for the Dao Alliance to do so?"
"The Monster Alliance's aggressive attack on the Xueyan Sect will most likely not pay off. I guess the Monster Alliance might want to use the Xueyan Sect's treasure land to conduct half-monster breeding research and establish a racial and strategic buffer zone - this is most likely the proposition of the moderate faction of the Monster Alliance."
"Am I right, Master?"
After finishing the analysis, she did not forget to tag Yu Hu, and specially prolonged the word "Master".
Xiao Bai listened in a daze, but he could vaguely hear the voices of Li Yue and Wu Kenan...
Yu Hu put down the teacup and suddenly stared at Mu Yun seriously:
"The demonic energy detected by the mountain protection formation... is it you?"
Mu Yun's identity as a demon had long been exposed, and he had an expression of being like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"I am a demon. How can a demon... be a monster at the same time?"
Yu Hu took a sip of tea, the tea mist rose, and he said faintly:
“That’s hard to say.”
Mu Yun's tone choked. So, can demons really merge? She instantly felt the majesty of the queen, and she no longer dared to help Xiao Bai talk back, and ate her snacks obediently.
Xiao Bai shook his head and smiled, then sighed, "It would be great if the three races of humans, demons and monsters could live together happily."
The sword fox in the pond curled its lips:
“It’s only possible here.”
Yu Hu said seriously:
"If humans and demons, humans and demons can reproduce indefinitely, things will be much easier."
Xiao Bai asked her tentatively:
"What stage have we reached so far?"
Yu Hu took a sip of tea and said:
"Human demons can only give birth to one generation; human demons can give birth to any number of children, but their offspring are all human, and only a very small number of geniuses are born as demons; demons and demons cannot reproduce at all."
Xiao Bai thought, it seems that among the three races of humans, demons and monsters, only humans can have sex and give birth to children regardless of race.
Mu Yun looked at Yu Hu in shock, and after a while he said, "You... actually studied it?"
Yu Hu shook his head.
"These are just common sense. My research is still ongoing and the results are not out yet."
Mu Yun didn't dare to speak anymore. He felt like he had become a test subject for the reproduction of offspring by humans and demons.
After an unknown amount of time, the sword fox in the pool muttered curiously, "So... there are only three races in Tianyuan Continent: humans, demons, and monsters?"
Now, even Yuhu frowned.
Xiao Bai thought, the women in the harem are all more ruthless than the others. Is the harem war going to turn into a bragging contest? Haha, who doesn't know how to brag? Thinking of this, he grabbed some snacks and ate them randomly, raised his teacup and drank it all, shrugging his shoulders with a nonchalant look on his face:
"Who knows? I'm not from this world."
In an instant, the three women were stunned at the same time and looked at him blankly.
Xiao Bai smiled without saying anything, without explaining anything, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
To be honest, it’s so refreshing! …
An hour later.
The evildoer has been caught! There is more than one...
They were all imprisoned in the underground caves of the Beast Taming Peak, and were being severely tortured by the Discipline Elder and the Beast Taming Elder, in order to extract information about their accomplices and the Demon Alliance.
Chun Xiaozi issued the order from the leader——
He ordered the elders and disciples of each mountain to come to the Beast Taming Peak in batches to observe these monsters disguised as disciples of the sect, and to make sure that no secrets of the sect had been revealed to these people over the years.
Xiao Bai really didn't expect that in addition to Yu Hu, the Xue Yan Sect had other Demon Alliance spies.
The meaning of the leader's order is very clear. He wants to check whether there are any accomplices of the demon clan among the senior leaders in the sect. This is the most serious issue at the moment.
Mu Yun and Yijianhu both looked at Yuhu, somewhat surprised and worried.
However, Yu Hu acted as if nothing had happened. He changed into a blue and white cloak, and led Xiao Bai, Mu Yun and the Yin-Yang Master, flying on swords to the Beast Taming Peak and heading straight for the underground cave.
The underground cave is very large, and is equipped with high-level beast-taming formations and soul-searching formations.
Right now, there are only two people in the cave, the Beast Taming Elder Zhe Hui Zhenren and the Discipline Elder Zhong Fuzi, who are responsible for the most important inspection work.
In the grotto where the evildoer was imprisoned, there were a total of five young disciples, three men and two women. They were all talented inner sect core disciples who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Xiao Bai was surprised to find that one of them was Chen Tang, the man who released Dumu Zhang during the clan inspection ceremony more than ten days ago.
So, this guy took the initiative to test his strength, which was probably the intention of the Demon Alliance. Yu Hu seemed to be unaware of this.
Xiao Bai stared at Chen Tang and cursed:
"I was almost harmed by this monster!"
The monsters had been tortured beyond recognition and no longer had the strength to speak.
Master Zhe Hui stared at Xiao Bai and his group of three, observing whether there was any compassion in their eyes.
Finally, staring at Yu Hu, she always felt that this woman was not like a human... too beautiful to be a human.
Zhong Fuzi got straight to the point and said:
"These five people are all evildoers in the form of phantom tapirs. Their cultivation levels are similar and they are stationed in the five mountains within the sect. They are spirits of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. They form an illusion array to conceal each other's auras. They have been lurking in our sect for more than ten years."
"Junior Sister Yu Hu, Junior Brother Xiao, and my two nephews, look at their faces and think carefully about whether you have revealed any secrets to these people."
Yu Hu's heart was as calm as still water, and his eyes were calm, no different from usual. He just said:
"Except for the five formation eyes and the formation core, our sect has no other secrets. Only the ancestors and the sect leader who are in seclusion know about this kind of thing."
Zhenren Zhe Hui paced back and forth. She could not only see the fluctuations in the spiritual pressure of several people, but also the abnormalities in their blood and breath.
She felt that Yuhu was too calm.
"I remember that Junior Sister knows some magic, right? Can you search the souls of these evildoers to see if there are other accomplices in the sect?"
Yu Hu said, "My illusion can only block sight and hearing, and is not even as good as Senior Sister Zhe Hui's Qilin Illusion. It would be better to go to the Taoist Alliance and hire a professional soul master."
Even worse than...the crow's feet at the corners of Zhe Hui Zhenren's eyes twitched slightly.
"What do you think these five phantom tapirs want to do? Are there any other accomplices?"
Yu Hu took a quick look and guessed, "All five of them are at the foundation-building stage, and they are located in five different mountains, each with a different five elements. They must be trying to activate some kind of five-element magic array to detect the center of our array, or hide a higher-level demon accomplice, so that when the demon alliance attacks, they can work together to overthrow our sect."
She said extremely scary words without changing her expression or heartbeat.
Xiao Bai admires him.
Master Zhehui had nothing to say.
Zhong Fuzi turned around and asked Xiao Bai:
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect that Junior Brother Xiao has already reached the peak of foundation building... This is really unusual. What do you think, Junior Brother?"
Xiao Bai said with a little surprise:
"I didn't expect that a mere Foundation Establishment Stage Phantom Tapir could hide for so long. Has the mountain protection formation never been activated to its highest defense level in the past twenty years?"
“It’s true that it has never been opened.”
Zhong Fuzi sighed:
"This is what the ancestors meant. After all, the mountain protection formation must also be given to the old ancestors."
Seeing Zhong Fuzi's helpless expression, Xiao Bai also sighed:
"I hope I won't be laughed at by the new chief supervisor. I just deserve to be overthrown by the demon alliance."
Zhong Fuzi said:
"We will report this matter to the Dao League after the Chengjian Conference."
Xiao Bai nodded.
"This is the best."
Before leaving, Zhong Fuzi reminded him again: "Although Junior Brother has advanced again, I have a bad feeling this time. Don't force yourself to attend the Chengjian Conference."
Xiao Bai quickly bowed.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhong."
The four then left the underground grotto.
Mu Yun and Yin Yang Ji were like two unknown people, and no one suspected them at all.
…
Not long after Xiao Bai and his companions left the Beast Taming Peak, a huge Earth-level Taoist Alliance boat entered the Xueyan Sect's territory from the southeast.
Yu Hu simply did not return to Baicao Peak, but went directly north to Zhijian Peak.
Zhijian Peak is located in the north of Xueyan Sect and is the second highest mountain in Xueyan Sect after Qingshou Peak.
The sword tomb on the top of Zhijian Peak stores the famous swords forged nearly a thousand years after the founding of the Xueyan Sect, as well as the famous swords for slaying demons in the Dharma-Ending Age.
Most of these famous swords were donated by their owners, and a small number were placed in sword tombs after their owners' deaths, waiting for the right people in the future to inherit the swords and forge new ones.
Zhijian Peak divided the sword tomb into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow, each storing a spiritual sword of the fourth level.
These ancient swords are much better than the swords given out for free by the sect!
The Xueyan Sect holds a Chengjian Conference every few years. All foundation-building disciples in the sect who have not yet participated in the Chengjian Conference can apply to participate.
Xiao Bai and his three companions flew over from the Beast Taming Peak in the west and landed at the foot of the mountain.
Looking up, Zhijian Peak is surrounded by clouds and mist.
The sword tomb on the top of the mountain is covered by thick clouds that isolate spiritual consciousness. Once the sword bearer steps into it, he will be in a state of being in the clouds and nowhere to be found.
The Sword Tomb Heavenly Stage at the top of the mountain is hidden in the raging clouds like a violent gale.
As for what famous swords there are in the heavenly realm, or even if there are swords at all, no one knows.
At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, there is a Chengjian Terrace, which is the gathering place and starting point of the Chengjian Conference.
The Sword Platform is a pentagonal, semi-suspended bluestone platform supported by five giant swords that are hundreds of feet long.
The area is slightly smaller than the mountain gate square of Qingshou Peak, but it is more imposing, like a rooftop.
at the moment.
The headmaster is Chun Xiaozi.
Two old emcees.
As well as most of the elders, disciples and high-level teachers of each mountain, they have already arrived, ready to welcome the new supervisor.
As soon as Xiao Bai and the other three landed, Chun Xiaozi took the initiative to greet Yu Hu.
"Junior Sister Yu Hu is finally here. Junior Brother Xiao and my two nephews, I hope you are all right."
Yu Hu bowed slightly.
"Master Brother."
Chun Xiaozi couldn't enjoy it.
Just like some of Xiao Bai’s roommates in his previous life who were so excited that they couldn’t sleep when the goddess replied with an “oh”.
In fact, Chun Xiaozi was a little worried that Yuhu was a demon. After all, Zhenren Zhehui always said that she was a fox spirit.
Since he could come here from the underground cave of the Beast Taming Peak, it means that Yu Hu is not a monster.
Xiao Bai looked around and found that not only were there no disciples watching the Sword Inheritance Conference, but even the elders, disciples and coaches were not all present.
The Sword Inheritance Conference in previous years was very lively, and even a menial disciple like him could watch.
The atmosphere of this Sword Inheritance Conference was not very lively, but rather a bit cold and solemn. There were even fewer people participating than the last clan inspection ceremony on the Qingshou Peak.
Looking closely, these people are sitting cross-legged on round pieces of obsidian - these obsidian should have the effect of detecting spiritual pressure.
Xiao Bai vaguely realized the reason, but still asked: "Where are the others?"
Asking the headmaster a question in person, just like a leader inspecting the work, can show his status.
Chun Xiaozi then turned to look at Xiao Bai and was almost frightened by Xiao Bai's aura again.
He didn't expect that in just a few days, Xiao Bai had actually reached the peak of foundation building...
How many times must he have taken double breaks with Junior Sister Yuhu, and how many times must he have taken double breaks to be able to advance so quickly?
Maybe even Junior-nephew Mu Yun would fall into Xiao Bai's clutches.
This guy is really here to mess with his mentality...
As for Yijianhu, even if he was defiled by Xiao Bai, he deserved it. He raised his hands and agreed with Zhuxiao.
However, after taking a closer look at Xiao Bai's towering figure, he understood Xiao Bai's charm.
It not only has the clarity of enlightenment like the great Dao, but also has the vastness of a dragon entering the sea.
A real dragon and phoenix! He deserved to lose.
Chun Xiaozi thought that maybe Junior Brother Xiao was really confident that he could obtain the Chengwan Ling Sword, thus preventing Junior Brother Lin Xizi's sword from falling into the hands of outsiders.
"Right now, the problem of demonic energy causing chaos in the sect has not been completely resolved. Only those who have seen the Phantom Tapir at the Beast Control Peak can observe this Sword Inheritance Conference. We must ensure the safety of the Sword Tomb and the Master of the Sect."
Xiao Bai deduced from this that the core of the mountain protection formation was indeed in the sword tomb!
The one Chun Xiaozi wanted to ensure the safety of was not Lord Jianzong, but the Great Eye.
After Xiao Bai and his group, Lan Daozi, one of the sword inheritors, arrived late.
His thin, short body was covered in a loose long gown, his bun was messy, and his eyes were tired, as if he had stayed up for a long time and took a short nap at dawn.
Wei Shanjun's face didn't look good.
Lan Daozi bowed to the headmaster and said:
"I have been studying the sword manual for several nights in a row, hoping to catch up so that the Wanling Sword can stay in our sect. I just slept for a while and was dragged to the Beast Control Peak to see monsters. I am late. I hope the sect leader will punish me."
Chun Xiaozi knew that Lan Daozi was asking for help, so he turned to the mountain-like Wei Shanjun and said:
"Brother Wei, calm down. Having such a disciple is a blessing for Zhijian Peak and Xueyan Sect."
Wei Shanjun didn't seem to be relieved at all.
How could he not know that this kid had been playing chess every day these days and had never touched a sword, let alone a sword manual.
Lan Daozi had already turned his back to Xiao Bai and started chatting: "Master, your cultivation has advanced rapidly, and your body movements and swordplay are unparalleled. Even if we fight with all our strength this time, I will still be defeated."
Xiao Bai felt very pleased with the praise, but he knew in his heart that if he fought with all his strength, there would still be some distance between him and Landozi.
Only by getting the 卍灵 Sword and upgrading to the second level of resonance can you have a chance of defeating him.
"If that's the case, the Wanling Sword must be in my hands today."
"If it ends up in your hands, you're cheating at home."
"If it is in the hands of Lord Jianzong, it means that you failed to protect the sword well."
"Anyway, you decide."
Lan Daozi admired Xiao Bai's shameless logic and smiled harmlessly: "The sword will be in the hands of my uncle."
At this moment, the old master of ceremonies' strange and hoarse voice was like thunder from a clear sky, echoing in Zhijian Peak.
"The Lord Supervisor has arrived!"
