East Desert, Lihen Palace.
Deep in the magnificent back hall, Demon Lord Qingli was lazily lying on a couch, casually playing with a white jade wine glass in her hand. A huge water mirror was projected above a jade slip in front of her. The flashing light and shadow on the water mirror showed a beautiful cultivator riding a sword to kill a group of demons.
The battle on the water mirror is very fierce, with the accompaniment of exciting music. The female swordsman is covered in blood with a resolute expression. Facing the siege of a group of demons, she fights bravely, which makes it seem even more tragic and heroic.
The besieging demons were all ugly and ferocious, and they fought extremely ferociously and fearlessly.
Seeing that the female sword cultivator was in a bad situation, a male sword cultivator suddenly descended from the sky and embraced the female sword cultivator passionately. The two exchanged a few lingering words of love, and then they joined forces to kill the demon together...
Qingli couldn't help but smile when she saw this. With her cultivation level and knowledge, she could naturally see that this battle was nonsense. The story was also extremely simple. It was about human male and female cultivators who killed demons by practicing swordsmanship together.
However, this kind of water shadow play has beautiful pictures, twists and turns in the story, and intense contradictions, especially the full range of emotions. It is a very interesting way of entertainment, a thousand times more interesting than reading, listening to music, and watching dance.
The only thing she couldn't stand was that Gao Xian always portrayed demons in a vilified way, and the demons in the water shadow plays were evil and stupid.
It was this Pojun God who killed billions of demons, but I don't know why he has such great malice towards demons! There is also a biggest problem. Gao Xian has too few water shadow plays. This set of "Jiuzhou Swordsman Legend" has only 108 volumes in total. She has read it hundreds of times out of boredom.
Qingli was not just doing it for entertainment, she also wanted to learn how to make water shadow plays and analyze Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness operation techniques.
Unfortunately, after watching it hundreds of times, I didn't gain much.
She suddenly sensed Yuan Wuxian's presence, looked up, and saw that Yuan Wuxian had already entered the room.
"Why are you here, fellow Daoist?" Qingli asked casually.
Although Yuan Wuxian lived in Lihen Palace, he seldom met her.
Qingli also didn't like Yuan Wuxian's gloomy and cold temperament, but Gao Xian's cultivation became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more unscrupulous in doing things.
As Gao Xian's enemy, Qingli had to take Lihen Palace to the territory of Iron Tiger Demon King for refuge.
For this reason, Qingli had to endure humiliation and practice dual cultivation with the Iron Tiger Demon King. She liked to play with others, but she didn't like to be played with.
For the same dual cultivation, active and passive are completely different things.
Yuan Wuxian is good-looking, but he is gloomy and cold. Tiehu also looks down on Yuan Wuxian, which makes Qingli a little unbalanced.
However, the situation is critical, and they can only stick together with Yuan Wuxian to gain a foothold in the Iron Tiger Demon King's territory.
As Yuan Wuxian survived three thunder tribulations, Lihen Palace became much stronger. In addition, Yuan Wuxian was capable of doing practical things, and managed Lihen Palace quite prosperously.
Qingli just acted like a hands-off boss. Except for the Iron Tiger Demon King who required her to take care of things, the rest of the time she could just lie back and enjoy herself. She also acquiesced to this division of labor.
Normally, Qingli and Yuan Wuxian don't interact with each other and just play their own games.
Yuan Wuxian suddenly came to the door today, and his expression was so serious that Qingli had a bad feeling.
Yuan Wuxian said directly: "I feel a sense of alarm in my heart, but I don't know where it comes from."
She looked at Qingli's beautiful and charming blue eyes and said seriously: "It should be Gao Xian!"
A hint of fear flashed across Qingli's eyes, and her expression became unusually solemn.
Ever since Gao Xian attained the seventh level of Heavenly Monarch, she has been restless day and night, fearing that Gao Xian would come knocking on her door. For this reason, she took the initiative to get into Tiehu's bed, just to find a safe place to stay.
Some time ago, news came that Gao Xian killed eight seventh-level Heavenly Monarchs in the East China Sea and beheaded Dongji Heavenly Monarch in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace, which made Gao Xian's reputation soar.
Qingli was also scared to death. Gao Xian killed seventh-level monsters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. Killing them was as easy as crushing a bug.
Even with the support of the Iron Tiger Demon King, Qingli did not feel safe at all.
The problem was that the 8th-rank Golden Ape Demon King was too high-ranking, and she, a human, had no right to get close to him. Now she could only cling to the Iron Tiger Demon King's thigh.
I hope this powerful demon king who has condensed the divine wheel can really stop Gao Xian! "I'll send a message to the demon king and ask him to come over!" Qingli said as she jumped off the couch. She paced a few steps barefoot on the ground and said, "Too slow. I'll take you to the Shenyi Palace for a few days."
This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for negligence.
Although Qingli didn't like the Iron Tiger Demon King, she couldn't care less now. She would rather be tortured than be killed by Gao Xian.
Yuan Wuxian nodded silently. She didn't like going to the Shenyi Palace either, but now she had no choice but to take refuge there.
"Now."
Qingli immediately activated the teleportation talisman, and the spiritual light turned into a teleportation array that connected to the distant Shenyi Palace.
The two sixth-rank demon lords stepped into the teleportation array, and the next moment the array’s spiritual light shot up into the sky.
Gao Xian, who was thousands of miles away, felt something going on. The Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon Seal shone brightly in the depths of his left eye, and he could already see the teleporting light in the distance.
Such teleportation may seem simple, but it requires connecting a magic circle to open a void channel, and the changes in magic power it triggers are extremely powerful.
Gao Xian recognized it immediately as the light of a teleportation spell. He even saw that the direction of the teleportation was deeper into the Eastern Wasteland.
"Iron Tiger?"
After Gao Xian cleared out the demons in Jiuzhou, he never entered the Four Wastelands again. He also knew that if he was caught by an eighth-level expert, he would be crushed to death on the spot.
There are a limited number of seventh and eighth level masters in the four seas and four wastelands. When one reaches the level of Gaoxian, he can know the situation of all masters of the same level through the Golden Book of Creation.
Sister Bai also told him a lot of information about the eighth level in the human world.
Before entering the Eastern Wilderness, Gao Xian also did some in-depth research and knew that Qingli had joined Tiehu.
With his cultivation at this stage, he could already lock onto Yuan Wuxian with his spiritual sense. Judging from the changes in his aura, Yuan Wuxian should be going to look for Tiehu.
Gao Xian was somewhat surprised that Yuan Wuxian reacted so quickly.
This little sixth-ranked one is quite capable! Killing Yuan Wuxian and Qingli is a piece of cake, and killing Tiehu is not difficult either, even if he goes to the opponent's Shenyi Palace to fight.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
But behind Tiehu is the Golden Ape Demon King, who has lived for dozens of calamities and is said to be older than Xuanming Tianzun.
At the eighth level, one is called a Heavenly Lord, but is actually an Earthly Immortal. In other words, one is the unrivaled overlord of a piece of heaven and earth. In this piece of heaven and earth, one can be said to be invincible.
As for how it compares to the ninth level, Gao Xian doesn’t know.
Gao Xian never killed Yuan Wuxian and Qingli, not because he forgot about them. It was no secret that he had a feud with Yuan Wuxian and Qingli. It was very likely that someone was using Yuan Wuxian and Qingli as bait to lure him.
A thousand years later, Li Feihuang's tribulation failed and his soul and body were destroyed, which also evoked Gao Xian's memories of the past of Qingyun Sect.
The ancestor Yun Zai Tian, Yun Qiu Shui, and many other disciples of the Qing Yun Sect all blamed Yuan Wuxian for most of this hatred. Qing Li was Yuan Wuxian's superior, so naturally he couldn't escape the blame.
"Never mind him. Even if the golden ape comes, we still have to fight first..." Gao Xian made the decision instantly. It's not that he is arrogant, but there is no need to think too much when he has reached this level of cultivation.
With the Daluo Hunyuan Yangshen, he can still escape without any problem if he cannot defeat the golden ape.
Gao Xian locked onto the direction where Yuan Wuxian disappeared and activated the Hunyuan Tianlun to tear through the void. The next step he was already tens of millions of miles away.
Without a stable void marker, Gao Xian could only travel by teleporting. This slowed him down a step, allowing Yuan Wuxian to run away...
Inside the Shenyi Palace, the Iron Tiger Demon King sat in front of a long table with a golden sword. On the table were various cooked meats and huge wine jars.
The meat was all from sixth-level monsters that he hunted in all the heavens and worlds, and the wine was a strong liquor that had been brewed for thousands of years using a special secret recipe.
As a top-level seventh-order body-refining demon, the Iron Tiger Demon King is nine feet tall, with skin as dark as iron, a pair of cyan-gold tiger eyes that sparkle with divine light, and wears cyan-gold scale armor.
He sat there majestically and with an extraordinary aura.
The Iron Tiger Demon King particularly likes meat because of his body training. When he has nothing to do, he likes to eat and drink a lot.
He was also a little surprised when he saw Qingli and Yuan Wuxian entering the hall. How dare this sixth-rank female cultivator come to him on her own initiative? There must be something important. Could it be related to Gao Xian?
"Daoist Qingli is here, come and sit down."
The Iron Tiger Demon King greeted Qingli, and then he looked at Yuan Wuxian who had a deep expression. This woman was also very beautiful, but her cold look was so boring.
Unlike Qingli, who was clearly unwilling but still tried to please him, which was quite fun and interesting.
"Qingli pays respect to the king." Qingli bowed gracefully.
Although Yuan Wuxian was ignored by Tiehu, he still bowed silently.
Qingli walked slowly to the Iron Tiger Demon King and said with an apologetic smile, "Your Majesty, Fellow Daoist Yuan sensed the presence of Gao Xian, and I was afraid that he would come to seek revenge... That's why I brought Fellow Daoist Yuan to seek refuge with Your Majesty."
"Ha ha……"
The Iron Tiger Demon King laughed and said, "Just stay in the Divine Wing Palace in peace. Gao Xian will never dare to cause trouble."
A clear and gentle voice came from outside the main hall: "The great sage of Qingyun Sect is here to visit. I hope you don't mind my intrusion."
Before he finished speaking, a handsome man in white clothes and carrying a sword floated into the hall.
Not only did Yuan Wuxian and Qingli change their expressions, but Iron Tiger Demon King's dark face also showed a hint of shock and anger. Gao Xian just barged in like that, totally ignoring him! (End of this chapter)
