Chapter 30

==================

"Anyway, no matter what, this shouldn't be a bad thing. After all, Senior Brother is still alive."

That is true.

Regardless of whether Tianxiao was abducted or had his head hit by something, the current situation is obviously not a bad thing.

Whether Xie Tingyun was willing to admit it or not, this kind of Demon Lord was actually quite nice.

...except for some moments of bad humor.

A group of people ascended slowly with swords, and gradually they could see the light of the sky setting above their heads.

The poisonous miasma under the Merciless Ghost Rift dissipated automatically not long ago, and the people from the Liuyun Sect who had been guarding it naturally grabbed their hands and feet and quickly came down to look for people.

Fortunately, things were not too bad. I met the Demon Lord but suffered no casualties, and I also successfully found my senior brother.

There was a burst of cheers from the Liuyun Sect, but Xie Tingyun remained silent for a while, then suddenly whispered, "Master."

Taoist Priest Daoling turned around and asked, "Hmm?"

Xie Tingyun thought of the poisonous snake pierced by the silver spear and said, "Does the devil's heart need to be taken?"

Taoist Master Daoling said as a matter of course: "Of course. What's wrong, Tingyun? Have you softened your heart?"

“…”

Xie Tingyun turned his head away and whispered, "No."

Taoist Master Daoling said, "Tingyun, I think you understand what you are carrying on your shoulders."

Xie Tingyun bowed his head in silence and said, "Tingyun understands."

"Since you agreed to become my disciple and were willing to take on the responsibility of refining the Heaven Sword and opening the Heaven Gate, you should have known that the Devil's Heart is essential for this cycle. You can find a substitute for anything you lack, except for the Devil's Heart that was tempered by the great demon after being baptized by the thunder tribulation."

Xie Tingyun couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that we only need a demon heart, and don't have to be from a certain demon clan?"

Taoist Priest Daoling nodded and said, "Yes. But can you find out who else besides Tianxiao has cultivated the devil's heart?"

Without waiting for Xie Tingyun to answer, Taoist Master Daoling said for him: "No."

"Do you think Kaitian Realm only benefits the human race? No. Look at how prosperous the Demon Realm has been for so long. Apart from Tianxiao who was born hundreds of years ago, are there any other names of demons that have reached our ears? None."

"In fact, ever since the last Demon Lord chose to conquer the world and polluted the two major spiritual veins of the human race, no new high-level demons have appeared in the demon world."

Taoist Master Dao Ling's eyes were sharp: "The demons may seem strong, but they are also on the decline. Only by breaking the threshold of ascension and maintaining the balance of the three realms can all races survive."

His disciple was undoubtedly extremely intelligent, and some truths did not need to be explained by Taoist Master Daoling in order to be understood.

Taoist Master Dao Ling sighed and said, "Tingyun, you have become soft-hearted."

“…”

"I just," Xie Tingyun paused and said, "I just remembered that since Tianxiao was born, he has not done anything for the human race except for often causing trouble for his disciples for no apparent reason."

If that's the case, then why would they take lives to pave the way?

Taoist Master Daoling snorted in an ambiguous tone and said, "Yes, I was so busy trying to catch and kill you that I didn't have the energy to do anything else to the human race."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun and Ah Chao stood on the Chengfeng Sword. Ah Chao listened to the whole thing and was silent for a long time. Then he carefully tugged at Xie Tingyun's sleeve and said, "Brother, do you really have to kill the brother in black?"

But when they were at Achao's house, the two brothers were clearly fighting for a long time as a joke. That was the most lively time in Achao's house.

Xie Tingyun did not answer.

He couldn't answer.

Taoist Master Daoling's second sentence, "You have softened your heart," is clearly an affirmative sentence. But when Xie Tingyun asked himself, he didn't know why he had softened his heart, or why he should have softened his heart.

Except for the days when he depended on his mother as a child, Xie Tingyun spent the rest of his life in Liuyun Sect.

His mother died young, and he was alone in an unfamiliar large sect. He had experienced oppression and exclusion, as well as protection and support.

Xie Tingyun knew that his master had accepted him as his disciple and arranged for his mother to be settled because he saw that he had excellent physique and had the hope of taking on the responsibility of the human race. When he grew up, he would be able to break through the gate of heaven and the threshold of ascension for him, so that his master could break through and find another chance to live before his death.

The master is very utilitarian, but he is also really good to him.

To be more hypocritical, for Xie Tingyun, this place is no longer a world that can be easily escaped from. It has become an existence as important as home.

He was destined to give up something.

Taoist Master Daoling snorted in an ambiguous tone, "Tingyun, some old scores cannot be settled. You are soft-hearted towards him, but who will be soft-hearted towards us? You think he is innocent, but without the previous Demon Lords' massive conquests, occupation of territories, and raising more high-level demons with polluted spiritual veins, how could he have reached such a height today, sitting in a high position and being respected by thousands of people, and dominating the Three Realms?"

“…”

Taoist Master Daoling raised his hand and held Xie Tingyun's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Tingyun, this is unavoidable. Since you can't do it, then I can take the blame for you. You are still young, and it is really unfair to put such a heavy feud and responsibility on your shoulders."

"I am an old man with half of my body buried in the ground," Taoist Ling landed steadily on the ground, put away his flying sword, and sighed, "It doesn't matter."

Ah Chao pursed his lips, hugged Xie Tingyun's arm tightly, and said nothing more.

*

The fact that the human race's holy son was captured by the Demon Lord and disappeared for several days, and finally returned safely, caused a sensation in the cultivation world for quite some time. Everyone had different opinions in private, and no less than dozens of versions had been circulated. In the end, everyone reached a consensus that perhaps there was some unknown cat-smell between these two sworn enemies.

After all, the human race's Holy Son fell into the hands of the Demon Lord when he was seriously injured and powerless, but nothing happened to him and he even returned safely in the end. This is very abnormal. Who would believe that these two people don't have any problems?

The script of "Old Enemies Become Couple" is very popular among the people. Now that there is ready-made material, it naturally supports a large number of writers and storytellers.

There is also the child that the human saint brought back to Liuyun Sect. I heard that he is only eleven or twelve years old. He is well-behaved and cute, has a sweet mouth and can coax people. He is also a half-demon, which is extremely rare nowadays!

The Holy Son is from the human race. Tian Xiao is from the demon race.

Isn't this right? Isn't this right!

It was said that the disciples of Liuyun Sect played with the child every day, saying that the more they looked at the child, the more he looked like the child of the Holy Son and the Demon Lord, so the outside world was in an uproar again.

There are all kinds of things in this world. It is common for two men to become a couple, but it is still somewhat rare for a man to get pregnant. But rarity does not mean it does not exist. After all, where there is demand there is supply. Some sects even produce a small amount of male conception pills on a regular basis, and the supply is basically unable to meet the demand.

As for the child's age, it is also very easy to imagine. If the two of them entered a secret realm where the speed of time and space flowed differently, and then they got to know each other and fell in love by accident, and finally had a child through some feasible means, it is not impossible.

All in all, they really hit it!!!

However, no one dared to bring these rumors and stories to the eyes of the two masters. Taoist Master Daoling even warned them privately not to let them spread them to Liuyun Sect. Therefore, Xie Tingyun returned to the sect to recuperate for a few days. Every day, he looked after the children and healed his old injuries. The master took care of the sect affairs, so Xie Tingyun's life was quite leisurely.

After Ning Chen went out, the first thing he did was to ask Agui to lead the way back to the Demon Realm and have a big buffet.

The demons who ambushed Ning Chen on the Merciless Ghost Plain hid in the Demon Realm for a long time, waiting for the news of the Demon Lord's death. But what they finally heard was that the Demon Lord entered the Demon Realm safely and declared that none of those who participated in the assassination of the Demon Lord would be able to escape.

In fact, Ning Chen really holds a grudge and does what he says. Although the demon world is vast, the consciousness of the great demon in the realm of annihilation is even more vast. As long as Agui guards the entrance to the demon world, it will be like closing the door to beat the dog or catching a turtle in a jar. It will be almost easy for Ning Chen to catch the hiding demons.

Ning Chen is not a good person. Since he has come to a world where the strong prey on the weak, he will follow the rules of this world.

Since they failed to kill him calmly and weakly, they would be the ones to die.

Not to mention, the demon cores of the demons are still tastier, at least much better than the demon pills, and the absorption and conversion rate is higher. After eating them, Ning Chen even hoped that the demons under him could participate in assassinating him a few more times, so that Ning Chen would have a reason to help himself openly.

However, the news that the Demon Lord was ambushed but failed, and instead killed all dissidents, had spread throughout the entire demon world. Ning Chen was now at the peak of his power, and he was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Naturally, no demon dared to provoke him.

Ning Shen wandered around boredly for a few rounds, and finally decided to challenge Xie Tingyun to a fight.

According to the plot, a secret realm will be opened soon. There are ancient beasts, thousand-year-old herbs, rare gems and the like in it. The resources are rare and high-quality, and people from all over the world will come to visit.

At that time, Xie Tingyun will lead the sect disciples into the secret realm for training. In the end, Xie Tingyun will get a material that can be used to refine the Heavenly Sword, and those spirit beasts, spirit herbs, gems and so on will fall into the hands of the male protagonist.

What the villain Ning Chen has to do is, of course, go to the secret realm, disrupt the training of the righteous disciples, and pretend to scare away a group of young men from various sects, so as to reduce the number of competitors for the male protagonist.

According to the script, the hero will encounter many vicious cannon fodders who are ignorant of the truth. When the cannon fodders show disdain and ridicule to him, he will slap him hard in the face, use his strength to break the cannon fodders' conspiracy, and get precious resources in front of them.

In fact, to be more precise, the good resources in it would have fallen into the hands of Xie Tingyun. Ning Chen did this just to make the plot simpler.

Yes, Ning Chen firmly believed that as long as all of Xie Tingyun's opponents were driven away, the rest would naturally be easy.

As the biggest and most vicious cannon fodder, I just pretend to be someone I am not. How could anyone else snatch the hero's things?

Can't the plot be perfectly completed here?

Ning Chen could even use the excuse of disrupting the training of the righteous disciples to pick a fight with Xie Tingyun. He had it all planned out. During the fight, he could also chop down the stone that Xie Tingyun wanted, saving Xie Tingyun from wasting time looking for it.

Soon it was time for the Nuwa Secret Realm to open.

This is a ground-level secret realm that opens approximately once every few decades, and its difficulty is medium at best. However, the probability of rare treasures dropping is much higher than in other ground-level secret realms, so it is very suitable for everyone to come and explore.

On that day, countless sects, big and small, in the world of cultivation sent their disciples over. Each team was waiting at the gate of the Nuwa Secret Realm, and they all looked determined to win.

Most of the things in the Nuwa Secret Realm are pretty good. Even if you go in from a small sect, as long as you know your place and don't compete with the big guys for rare treasures, you can still get a lot by just picking up things from the edges.

On that day, Xie Tingyun, as the team leader, led a team of about twelve or thirteen Liuyun Sect disciples into the Nuwa Secret Realm.

The disciples brought out by Xie Tingyun are mainly divided into two categories. One type is those with sufficient qualifications and want to seize this rare opportunity to get a handful of good things such as Jindan and Yuanying in the Nuwa Secret Realm. The other type is those with insufficient qualifications, so they follow Xie Tingyun for safety and enter the Earth-level Secret Realm under the protection of their senior brother.

However, when Xie Tingyun and his men just came out of the secret realm entrance, they discovered a familiar-looking uninvited guest.

The man in the gilded black robe looked at Xie Tingyun and the group of little guys behind him, smiled and said a friendly hello: "Son Xie, long time no see. I came uninvited, you don't mind, right?"

All the righteous disciples who entered the secret realm did not see treasures or rare spiritual herbs all over the ground, but a great demon in the state of annihilation lying idly on a tree trunk!

The demon even smiled and said hello to them!

Nothing could be more devastating than this.

Xie Tingyun's expression suddenly became subtle: "...Tian Xiao?"

"It seems that you are very welcome to my arrival, that's great." Ning Chen nodded confidently and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you, Saint Xie, for eight days. I really miss you."

“…”

The expressions of all the righteous disciples suddenly became extremely strange.

Anyone who says the Holy Son and the Demon Lord are not real will have his head blown off!!
