Chapter 127 Is This Exposing?

While the elders were discussing tactics in the square, Zhan Chenming led the disciples of the Zhen Sect to the inner hall to activate the formation.

Soon, the Qingyun formation lit up under everyone's feet.

Large arrays overlapped and reflected each other, appearing in the entire space, like a disorderly spider web or a dazzling galaxy under the night sky.

Nan Wang had always heard that the design of the Qingyun Formation was extremely exquisite, but until he saw it with his own eyes today, he had never understood the true meaning of the four words "exquisite".

The Qingyun Formation was completely different from all the formations he had ever seen.

It is not a simple defensive shield at all, but it surrounds the Qingyun Mountains in three dimensions like a spider silk. If an outsider barges in here, he will be like a moth caught in a spider web, and the result can be imagined.

If those demons think they can break into Qingyun Mountain by breaking the outermost defense shield, they are totally wrong.

The structure of the Qingyun Array is extremely complex. To ensure that there are no problems at critical moments, it needs to be maintained all the time on weekdays. This is why the disciples of the Array Sect are the busiest group of people in the entire Qingyun Sect, because they are maintaining the Qingyun Array from morning to night.

After seeing the Qingyun formation, the originally restless immortal sect monks calmed down one after another.

Not only did he calm down, but he also started to praise it:

"Qingyun Sect truly deserves to be the leader of the immortal sects. It deserves the title very well!"

"I don't think these demons can attack Qingyun Mountain at all."

"It's worth the trip. It's really worth the trip."

"Let them in, I'll take care of them myself!"

"The demon clan's actions are truly inappropriate."

After all, those present were experts, and they could tell at a glance that the Qingyun formation was extraordinary.

Now that the formation has been activated, they have a natural advantage inside the formation. If the demons dare to rush into the formation, they can even defeat them by a large margin.

Amidst the high morale of the group, only Nan's thoughts were different from others.

He was probably the most pessimistic person among all the people present.

At the same time, he is the one who knows the strength of the demons best among all people.

Although the Qingyun formation is majestic and shocking, the demons also have unique skills that the immortals do not have.

The key to breaking the formation is, first, the magic weapon that amplifies the spell, and second, the talisman that stores the spell.

These two things are Wu Ge's specialties.

What’s even more terrifying is that there is a high possibility that there is a spiritual branch by Wu Ge’s side.

Zhan Chenming's strong bones and muscles are certainly suitable for forming a formation, but Lingzhi's exquisite mind with seven secrets is not much inferior.

Regardless of who would win or lose in a real fight between the two, just looking at the Qingyun Sect's pampering and indulgence towards its true disciples, Nanwangdu was worried that when his spiritual branch left the sect, he would take the method of breaking the Qingyun formation with him.

Soon, under Nan Wang's worried gaze, the picture in the mirror began to change.

The demons stopped at the entrance of Qingyun Mountain and did not move forward. No one knew what they were waiting for.

The second elder saw through the other party's intention at a glance, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

After a while, a disciple of the Zhen Sect walked out of the inner hall and explained the situation to the Second Elder: "Elder, Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother said that the other party tried to break the formation in the southeast direction, but only opened a hole and then stopped."

"Alas." The second elder sighed and looked at one of his disciples: "Shanshi, thank you for your hard work."

Since the demons know that the formation is not easy to break, they will not act rashly. However, there must be a purpose for so many demon cultivators to gather at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. Since they are not taking action, it means they want to negotiate.

Logically, the other party should send people up, but they have so many outer sect monks here, they really can't wait any longer, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Gu Shanshi immediately said, "Yes, Second Master."

Du Xueling frowned when he heard this: "Second Master, should I be the one to make the negotiation..."

The second elder's expression froze: "Your mission is to stay here and protect your fellow apprentices!"

At the moment, I don’t know what the Demon Cult is planning, whether they are going to attack me or have other intentions.

Both parties were testing each other. If they sent Du Xueling to negotiate right away, it would make them appear weaker.

Gu Shanshi usually does things steadily, speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, and knows when to advance and retreat. He is recognized by several elders and is just right for this kind of occasion.

In this situation, cultivation level is secondary. When Zuo Yougushan was in the formation, and the demons were outside the formation, there was no need to worry about the other party suddenly attacking during the negotiation.

With the two elders' mirror, everyone can see the progress of the negotiation at any time.

The figure of Gu Shanshi soon appeared in the mirror. He was flying in the air with his sword, looking down at the demons from above.

The demons didn't think as much as the immortals. Tong Yan flew up directly without even using the sword and just hung in the air.

Gu Shanshi cleared his throat and said as calmly as possible, "Who is coming?"

Tong Yan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Qingyun Sect has gone too far. Today, the seven major demon sects in the Northern Territory have joined forces to demand an explanation from Qingyun Sect!"

Taniyama was not intimidated by the opponent's momentum and argued:

"You came here without asking for permission, and you still want Qingyun Sect to give you an explanation? You are so shameless! Many immortal sects are gathered here today. If you can't give us an explanation, we will not let you go!"

Tong Yan sneered and said:

"Qingyun Sect has imprisoned the Demon Lord for many days with evil intentions. If you return the Demon Lord today, we will withdraw our troops immediately. Otherwise, don't blame us for overthrowing your throne!"

Gu Shanshi was shocked and said, "What nonsense! We have never even seen the Demon Lord of your demon clan!"

Although the relationship between the immortals and the demons has always been bad, it has not reached the point of a life-and-death struggle. Recently, it is the peak period for secret realms, and no one wants to cause trouble.

Moreover, the title of Demon Lord was originally elected by the demons. If one Demon Lord is gone, just elect another one.

Who would go to the trouble of kidnapping the Demon Lord? Isn't that crazy!

The people of the Immortal Sect looked at the picture in the mirror and discussed:

"Have the demons gone mad?"

"What Demon Lord? Who would imprison the Demon Lord?"

"It's not right. It's not right."

"I think this is just an excuse made up by the demons. They just want to fight."

"Who is the current Demon Lord? Does anyone know?"

"After Tong Dongyang's death, the demon clan did not re-elect the Demon Lord for many years, but in the past two years, there have indeed been reports of a new Demon Lord."

"I heard that the new Demon Lord is the one that everyone is looking forward to. What's his name?"

In the mirror, Tong Yan's expression was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

He looked at Gu Shan and said with gritted teeth:

"The Demon Lord is concerned about the demon clan and has already decided to stay in the Northern Territory. However, the Qingyun Sect covets the Demon Lord's talents and has tried to tempt the Demon Lord to abandon the demon world and become an immortal. The Demon Lord has refused many times, but the Qingyun Sect refused to give up. Seeing that coercion and inducement failed, they decided to imprison the Demon Lord and imprisoned him in the Qingyun Sect. A few days ago, we received a letter from the Demon Lord asking for help. Today, we must ask the Qingyun Sect to release him!"

Gu Shan was stunned by the other party's solemn words. After a moment of silence, he said loudly:

"Don't confuse people. Tell me clearly who your Demon Lord is!"

Tong Yan threw his hands to the ground and said loudly:

"Master Demon, this is the fourth true disciple that was forcibly retained by Qingyun Sect, Nanwang!"

Taniyama: “…”

Taniyama: “Ah?”

Huh? Who?

Who do you say is the Demon Lord?

The Grand Ceremony Square was completely silent.

The sound in the water mirror was clearly heard by everyone, leaving everyone confused.

Ah, ah, ah?

"No, who is he talking about?"

"Fourth, how could Fourth Senior Brother be the Demon Lord?"

"This, this... is unbelievable."

"I told you something was wrong!"

"Everyone, stop making a fuss and listen to what Qingyun Sect has to say."

Qingyun Sect... The people of Qingyun Sect looked at the several true disciples and Nanwang himself with burning eyes.

Nanwang: “…”

Du Xueling silently took a step forward and stood on Nan Wang's left side.

Chu Songping silently took a step back, blocking the gazes of most of the outside immortals.

When the confused elders saw this, they immediately understood what was going on.

Only the outspoken elder said angrily:

"What nonsense! The fourth true disciple entered our Qingyun Sect decades ago, and this Demon Lord was only selected two years ago. I think they just want to fight!"

In the water mirror, Tani Shanshi also asked the same question as the great elder.

Gu Shanshi is worthy of being the person favored by the Second Elder. He is indeed steady in what he says and does.

Even though Tong Yan said such incredible words, he did not panic.

"Fourth Senior Brother has been in our Qingyun Sect for more than fifteen years. How could he be the Demon Lord of your Demon Sect? Could it be possible that your Demon Lord could be an undercover agent in our sect all year round?"

Tong Yan: "Of course you can! Lord Demon is doing what he wants, why do you need to interfere?"

Taniyama: “?”

Tong Yan: "The Demon Lord has been undercover in Qingyun Sect for many years, and has endured all kinds of humiliation. If you don't let us go today, we will massacre your Qingyun Sect!"

Gu Shan was stunned: "You, you are talking nonsense, you are just talking nonsense..."

Tong Yan raised his hand and an identity deed immediately appeared in his hand.

This is a way to conclude a contract with the Heavenly Dao, and is also an identity certificate issued by the Demon Cult to its disciples. Its function is similar to the disciple token of the Qingyun Sect.

This identity deed is enough to prove in time that Nanwang's original identity was that of a demon.

Tong Yan said: "This is the identity deed left by our Demon Lord fifteen years ago. If you don't believe it, let the Fourth True Disciple give it a try!"

In the square, everyone's eyes were fixed on Nan Wang, almost staring a hole through him.

Nanwang: “…”

Ever since he found out that the original owner was an undercover agent of the demon clan, he had been worried about this day.

When this day really came, he actually felt a sense of relief in his heart...bullshit.

This isn't the way to expose yourself!

Who doesn't send undercover agents out these days? Which sect doesn't send undercover agents out?

He is just a small undercover agent of the Hehuan Sect, the kind who has been undercover for ten years but has achieved nothing.

How could he be so worthy as to be exposed in such a scene where the demon army was attacking the mountain and the immortals were gathering!
