The Saint is Missing
That was an unforgettable memory...
Yunti woke up from her sleep, and her body walked out of the room involuntarily. She thought that the nine-day daylight was always so bright, and there was never a night, which made people calm and free from desires.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the bottom of her heart, saying, "You are the Saint of the Nine Heavens. Your name is An Nanchi. Your father is the Immortal Lord. Everything that happened here is real."
The Nightmare Butterfly flapped its wings in her heart as if casting a spell. Yunti's consciousness gradually fell into a deep sleep. She could only perceive but not react.
"Saint, it's time for us to set off." said the immortal servant beside her.
"Yeah." An Nanzhi nodded.
Today is the day when the immortals and demons meet. Every five hundred years, the Immortal Phoenix and the Demon Phoenix tribes hold a meeting ceremony to maintain superficial peace. The venue is hosted by the two realms in turn, and this year it is in the Demon Realm.
As the "holy lady" of the Nine Heavens, Annanchi naturally represented the Immortal Phoenix clan to attend the event. The carriage pulled by the Nine-feathered Colorful Phoenix stopped in the air. In the spacious sedan sat a majestic and dignified man. This man was none other than the "Lord of the Immortal Realm" - Annanchi's father.
An Nanchi leaped up and flew towards the carriage, "Father, are you going too?"
"The Great God of Destiny said that there might be accidents on this trip, so I'd better go with you." said the man sitting upright in the black carriage.
"Yes." Annan nodded and then sat in the sedan chair at the back.
The nine-winged phoenix flapped its wings and took off, heading straight for the demonic realm. Its tail feathers drew a dazzling rainbow across the silent sky, a beauty so stunning that it was impossible to look away. Immediately afterwards, rows of carriages pulled by peacock horses followed closely behind the phoenix, a truly magnificent spectacle!
Demon Palace Secret Chamber
A man is worshiping a mysterious sculpture. If you look closely, you can see something gathering in the incense burner in front of the sculpture. The man adds his own demonic energy, which is finally all absorbed by the sculpture.
After doing this, he waved his sleeves, and the sculpture in front of him disappeared, and the stove looked like a normal incense table.
"It's been a mixed crowd these days, so I'll have to bear with you for a few days." The man murmured, then left the secret room.
A handsome man walked into the man's study and said, "Father, the people from the immortal world are about to arrive. Should we go and greet them?"
The Demon Lord nodded and said, "Let's go. We can't lose the dignity of our demon world."
Although the two realms were one millions of years ago, they now treat each other as enemies, maintaining only a superficial peace. Successive Purple Phoenix Demon Lords have sought to defeat the White Phoenix Immortal Clan and unify the two realms, while the White Phoenix Clan has always been wary of them, leading to the current standoff.
The colorful sedan chair stopped, and the Immortal Lord and the Saint Lady walked out one after another.
"Master An, how are you?" the Demon Lord greeted.
The Immortal Lord waved his hand and said, "The Demon Lord is fine."
Annanchi followed his father to greet the Demon Lord, but his eyes stayed on the person behind the Demon Lord.
The young master of the demon world felt the gaze coming at him and looked back. The two of them just stared at each other, neither of them looking away.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the two people's lingering gaze, "I guess the one next to the Immortal Lord is the Saint." The Demon Lord looked at Annanchi.
An Nanzhi retracted his gaze and said, "That's right."
"He is really handsome and intelligent." The Demon Lord pulled his son over and said, "This is my son, the young master of our demon world. You young people should communicate more with him." After saying that, he glanced between the two of them.
An Nan nodded and said yes.
Then a large group of people were led to their seats by maids.
The Demon Lord pulled his son over and whispered, "There's a chance to test the Saint's strength."
"Yes." He replied respectfully.
In fact, there was nothing important to discuss during the meeting between the two sides, only some border issues and cooperation.
Even so, Annan continued to study diligently beside her father. Since her ascension to Saint, she hadn't witnessed any major events, so this was a great opportunity. She also secretly remembered the young master of the demon realm. If she succeeded her father, he would be the next Demon Lord she would face.
When the banquet was halfway through, an accident occurred. A black gas rose into the sky and covered the entire Demon Realm Palace, but it only lasted for a moment.
Faced with the sudden change, all the immortals were on high alert. The Demon Lord immediately came out to take charge of the situation, "Don't panic, everyone. It's just a small matter. It's nothing serious."
The Demon Lord summoned the young master and ordered him to bring people to investigate.
Chong Sheng followed the source of the black air to his father's bedroom. He was considering whether to go in and check when the Demon Lord suddenly appeared outside the door.
"Demon Lord." Chong Sheng saluted his father.
The Demon Lord glanced at him and said, "Let these soldiers go first. The banquet in the front hall is about to end. Go and settle them down."
"Yes." Chong Sheng replied.
As the banquet was about to end and the Demon Lord still hadn't arrived, the Immortal Lord asked Chong Sheng, "What's the problem?"
Chong Sheng replied respectfully, "No, it's just that one of the disciples was so eager to practice that he lost control and caused the demonic energy to leak out. There's no need for the Immortal Lord to worry."
The Immortal Lord smiled politely and said, "Nothing is wrong, that's good. In that case, we will return to our residence and rest first."
Chong Sheng called the maidservant: "Show the way to the distinguished guest."
The maid took everyone to their residence and left. The Immortal Lord and Annanchi entered the room together.
"Father, do you have something to tell me?" An Nan asked.
The Immortal Lord sat down and said, "That's right. I have a feeling that the black energy incident today is not simple. Go and check it out while it's still dark."
After hearing this, An Nanchi said, "Yes."
Demon Palace Secret Chamber
The Demon Lord stood in front of the incense table and said, "You are too impatient."
The black energy cannot speak, it just floats around to express something.
"I know you want to go out, but you are not yet formed, and you are facing a meeting between immortals and demons. The demon world is full of immortal power today, and you will inevitably be shocked and lose control." The Demon Lord said earnestly.
The black energy didn't understand what he said and continued to float around.
The Demon Lord had no choice but to release the magic to seal him in the sculpture again and strengthen the seal.
At the same time, Annanchi, dressed in night clothes, followed the direction of the daytime and came to a bedroom.
The Demon Palace was heavily guarded and it took her a while to get here.
Her father asked her to find the source of the black air, but how to find it? An Nanchi hid in the corner of the bedroom and thought about it.
Since we can't alert the snake, let's lure it out of its hole.
Demonic energy has been in conflict with immortal energy since ancient times. If she uses herself as a lure, she might be able to cause the black energy to appear.
Annanchi cut a cut on her wrist. She was a saint from the fairy world, and nothing was richer than the fairy energy in her blood.
Sure enough, the black gas in the sculpture floated out as if summoned by something, and even the Demon Lord did not notice it.
The black gas floated out of the hall and slowly approached Annanchi. "It's almost there, it's almost there," Annanchi muttered.
Just when Annanchi was about to see the black air clearly, the Demon Lord immediately released a spell to interrupt him!
"Who trespasses into the Demon Palace!" Chong Sheng descended from the sky holding a long stick.
Annanchi spat out a mouthful of blood and fled in panic, covering his wound.
Chong Sheng pursued her relentlessly until they reached a valley of flowers. He then flew in front of the person and stopped her.
Chong Sheng threw out the Quanhai Hunmo Stick, and Annanchi had no choice but to summon his two swords to resist.
The two men faced off head-on, and the flower valley was stirred up by the two powerful forces, with petals falling all over the place.
The two exchanged several moves, and in the end, Annan was injured and lost.
An Nanchi tried to fly away, but was knocked to the ground by a stick. She looked up at Chongsheng with an unwilling heart.
The person in front of him was wearing a black veil. Chong Sheng couldn't recognize him, but he felt that his eyes were very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
The two looked at each other as if they were meeting for the first time. Chong Sheng suddenly tried to lift the veil of the person who came, but a strange light flashed and Chong Sheng could not avoid it. When he opened his eyes again, the person was gone.
inside the house.
Ananchi knelt on one knee and said, "It was my daughter's uselessness that not only failed to uncover the truth, but also caused herself to be seriously injured and nearly exposed."
The Immortal Lord glanced at her and said, "Never mind. The Demon Lord is not someone you can easily deal with. I don't blame you."
Annan felt deeply guilty and lowered his head even lower.
"By the way, the strength of the young master of the Demon Realm is no less than yours. You must be careful in the future. One day he will be your biggest opponent." The Immortal Lord warned.
"Yes, Nanchi will work harder after returning." An Nanchi crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed and took his leave.
The Demon Lord was asking Chong Sheng, "How's it going? Did you catch the person?"
Chong Sheng: "Reporting to Father, no."
The Demon Lord said angrily: "Humph, waste, why did I raise you?"
Chong Sheng immediately knelt down and said, "Demon Lord, please calm down. It is my incompetence."
Chong Sheng had some thoughts about that person's identity, but he didn't report it to his father. Firstly, he wasn't sure yet, and secondly, he had his own selfish motives...
The next day, the two worlds completed the handover, and the Immortal Lord left with his entourage.
On the way back, Annan received a secret letter. She said she had clues about the black energy and reported it to the Immortal Lord, then was ordered to leave.
In this way, the two worlds lived in peace and there was no news of black air again. Instead, Annan disappeared for several months without any news. The Immortal Lord tried every means to find her whereabouts but to no avail.
Five years later
On this day, the high priest came, and a little girl followed behind him. She listened to the conversation between her master and the immortal master, while she blinked her big eyes, as if she knew nothing about the world.
The Immortal Lord closed his eyes and thought: "Is there any news?"
The high priest replied, "That's right."
The Immortal Lord's eyes suddenly widened, "Someone come!"
The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Realm escaped and has been missing for five years. No matter what methods were used, she could not be found. The Immortal Realm did not make it public and only claimed that the Holy Maiden was in seclusion, but in fact they secretly sent people to look for her. Now the high priest finally figured out her location, and the dark fire in the Immortal Lord's heart burned again.
In front of the priest's hall, the high priest looked at the dark mass of immortal soldiers in the sky and muttered silently: "I can't hide any longer..."
He held the little girl's hand tightly and said, "Your destined person is about to appear."
