"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. We are going to participate in the competition tomorrow. Should we go buy some more demon formations to take a look? Although our previous guess was that the demons did all this to break the formations set up by the immortals." Su Yao suggested.
"Well, I think it would be a good idea to buy more fairy formations to look at. Assuming they really want to break the fairy formations, we are already proficient in it. But in case we guess wrong, it would be a good idea for us to look at more demon formations." Ning Jing agreed.
"Then you go out and buy the formation book. I still have some magic crystals. Now that we have arrived at the Troll City, I will start to gather information from all sides." Nalan Jingyue also told them his arrangements.
"Then I'll go with you to buy the formation book. After all, it's not very safe for you two girls to go out alone." Xu Fuyi added.
Ningjing hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. Although the two of them were quite strong and didn't have to worry about being bullied in this troll city, it would save a lot of effort if they had a man accompanying them.
The four people then started to act separately, and it was dark when they returned to the restaurant.
The four of them sat around the table in the room, and Nalan Jingyue took out his classic tea set.
After pouring a cup of tea in front of everyone, he slowly told everyone the news he had heard today.
"I heard today that this Formation Conference has been held for seven or eight years in a row. It is hosted by a national master within the Demon Palace. This national master has only suddenly appeared in recent years."
"How could this happen so coincidentally? Does this Imperial Master know his origin?" Su Yao asked hurriedly.
"I haven't found out about the identity of this national teacher. I only know that he rarely appears. Only the top three winners of the formation competition over the years can see him." Nalan Jingyue was also very curious about the identity of this national teacher.
"So, we can only meet this mysterious Imperial Master if we win the competition tomorrow?"
"Then have you found out about the content of the formation competitions in previous years?" Ning Jing asked.
"After some inquiries, it turned out to be similar to our previous speculation. Although the people of the Demon Clan didn't understand, I found out as soon as I asked around that those competitions were all targeting the Immortal Clan's formations."
"If that's the case, then we can be confident of winning tomorrow's competition." Ning Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, but there is one thing I am also curious about. What is the attitude of the demons towards their being sealed?" Su Yao couldn't help asking.
"I have also investigated this today, but it has been a long time since the demons were sealed. Many demons are not aware of the seal. They even think that the immortals are just a legend." Nalan Jingyue frowned.
"So, doesn't that mean we can't find any useful information?" Su Yao couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"It's not that we gained nothing, but their legends are somewhat different from the truth we know. Regarding what happened back then, they said that someone in the immortal clan colluded with monsters from other worlds and tried to annex the demon clan, which triggered the war between immortals and demons. Then the dragon clan and the immortal clan colluded with each other and worked together to seal the demon clan up." Nalan Jingyue said with a serious expression.
"What? But the truth we heard from Senior Aotian is not like this." Su Yao couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yes, I don't think Senior Aotian seems to be lying." Ning Jing couldn't help but frowned.
"Although I haven't had much contact with Senior Aotian, I also feel that Senior Aotian has no need to lie to us. Besides, what good will it do him if he lies to us?" Xu Fuyi also expressed his thoughts on the side.
"I know what you said, but from now on, one of the demons and dragons must be lying. Of course, there is another possibility." A gleam of light flashed in Nalan Jingyue's eyes.
Su Yao reacted instantly: "You mean, it has something to do with that person from the upper realm?"
Nalan Jingyue was a little surprised to see Su Yao react to his meaning so quickly, and then said with appreciation: "That's right, but this is just my guess."
"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with that person from the upper realm?" Ning Jing didn't quite understand what they were talking about in riddles. There was nothing she could do. As long as Su Yao was around, Ning Jing didn't want to waste her brain cells.
"Jingyue means that all this may be related to the people from the upper realm." Su Yao explained.
"That's right." Nalan Jingyue nodded.
Xu Fuyi still didn't quite understand, so he said helplessly, "Please, when you two are talking, could you please consider my ability to understand? Could you please explain it more clearly? I don't understand at all."
Su Yao looked at Nalan Jingyue, and Nalan Jingyue gave her a firm look, indicating that she should tell him her guess. Su Yao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.
Then he slowly spoke out his conjecture: "At this point, I feel like we're being manipulated by an invisible hand. All of this development, whether it's the appearance of alien monsters, the sealing of the demons, the taking of the dragons to the upper realms, or the inability of the immortals to ascend, all of these things revolve around this same goal: someone doesn't want those in the lower realms to ascend. And the instigator of all this must be related to that person in the upper realm. However, this is all just my conjecture. We'll have to wait and investigate to understand the ins and outs of this matter."
After hearing Su Yao's guess, Ning Jing and Xu Fuyi were shocked. If this guess was true, then they were really caught in a big trap, and this trap actually involved the entire lower fairyland.
"If these are all true, what is the purpose of that person from the upper realm?" Ning Jing asked with a pale face. The matter involved was really too big, and it seemed that they could not compete with their own strength.
Su Yao had no idea about Ning Jing's problem, so she just silently connected the whole thing and thought about it.
Nalan Jingyue continued, "All of this is just our conjecture. The specific details can only be discovered after entering the Demon Palace. During this period, I will continue to investigate the information."
"Jingyue is right, Jingjing, you don't have to worry. Even if the sky falls, there are still those powerful people to hold it up. It's not our turn to carry it." Xu Fuyi saw that something was wrong with Ningjing and quickly spoke to comfort her.
