Unlike the human realm, where there are countless natural wonders, the Demon Realm is a space like the end of the world.

The Demon Realm is actually a planet, a very large and desolate planet.

There is almost no atmosphere on the planet, and the air is very thin, so you can't see the blue sky and white clouds, and at night, you can directly see the universe beyond the planet, and see the brilliance of countless twinkling galaxies and stars in the night sky, which is the only beautiful and spectacular scenery in the demon world.

The nights in the Demon Realm are very long, and there is no sun in this place...... No, it should be said that there is, but it only appears once every 936 years, and when it appears, this star will be extremely close to the Demon Planet, so that every day, the places on the Demon Planet that are illuminated by light will burn, and the rocks or soil will be burned by high temperatures, and even burned into liquid and turned into magma.

This "sun" will appear in the Demon Realm for about three or four years, during which time its terrifying heat will continue to shine on the planet, baking the entire Demon Planet into a giant fireball. After three or four years, the stars will leave, and then the Demon Realm will fall into a dark state again, dark and extremely cold, with a temperature of minus 50 degrees all year round, and this temperature will cause the scorching fireball to quickly cool down and turn into an ice ball.

The frozen planet will wait again in the darkness and cold for another 936 years, until the stars come again.

The inhabitants of the Demon Realm who can survive in such a cruel environment are naturally not easy to mess with. Because of the cold and barren environment of this planet, the resources on the planet are very limited, the aura is quite scarce, and it is cold and there is no food, and if the demon cultivator wants to survive in this kind of place, there is no other way but to plunder others.

Therefore, the inhabitants of the demon realm have always been in a state of cannibalism, the high-level ones snatch the low-level resources, and the low-level ones can't survive, so they find a way to get through the gate of the demon realm and secretly run to the human world, where they kill ordinary humans or low-level monks.

However, there is no way for the demon cultivators to stay in the human world for a long time, because if they stay for a long time, they will attract the attention of various cultivation sects in the human world, and the cultivation sect will send more and more powerful monks to chase and kill these demon cultivators who sneaked into the human world.

Just back and forth, those with qualifications will become strong to plunder others, and those without qualifications can only become porters, trying their best to get more resources to survive and climb up.

Every almost a thousand years, the demon world will usher in a big event that pours out of the nest, they will pour into the world in large numbers from the demon world, and even find a way to run to the fairy world, the monks of the cultivation world call this move of the demon world "demon world invasion", in order to fight against the invasion of the demon world, the monks will prepare for a thousand years, to wantonly exterminate these invading demon cultivators or demon world beasts and demons.

But in fact, many monks don't know that the reason why the inhabitants of the Demon Realm have to invade the Demon Realm every thousand years is because on the planet of the Demon Realm, the star that comes back every 936 years comes, and as soon as the star comes, the terrible heat will completely incinerate the entire planet.

Even the top immortals in the immortal realm could not resist the flames of that level, so the inhabitants of the demon realm could only pour out of their nests and run to the human world or the immortal realm, often sometimes not to kill and plunder, but to live.

At this point, even the strongest Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm was not immune.

Before the next star comes, there is an omen on the planet, because the stars are getting closer and closer, the temperature of the demon planet is getting higher and higher, the glaciers are beginning to melt, the frozen ground is beginning to thaw, and even some places will ignite their own fires. When the temperature reaches the inhabitants of the Demon Realm, the most fire-resistant Demon Beasts can't bear it, they must take full action and leave the Demon Realm, because if they don't leave, they will be swallowed alive by the light and flames of the stars.

At this moment, the deadline for the next star arrival is very close, the temperature of the Demon Realm is kept at about a dozen degrees, it is not cold, and the temperature is quite suitable, this is one of the few weather in the Demon Realm with a very comfortable temperature, most of the residents of the Demon Realm will stop fighting and enjoy this rare tranquility and comfort lazily.

The huge star that was approaching could be faintly seen along the sky, and the sky was faintly bright, not as dark as before.

The Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm likes to nest on the highest cliff in the Demon Realm before the next star descends, looking at the starry sky, gazing at the "sun" that is getting closer and closer, this period is the only period when he can look directly at the star, because if the star is closer, if he looks at it directly, his eyes will probably be blinded by its light.

This may also be the reason why the name of the Demon Venerable is called "Chasing the Sun".

In order to chase the shining star, the Demon Venerable built a small palace on the cliff, and he often raised his head to look at the vast and boundless starry sky, and spoke to the approaching star in the sky: "Have you come to the thousand-year covenant again?"

There was a person kneeling beside the Demon Venerable, if Ying Qian was here, it was estimated that he would immediately recognize him as Tu Yuan.

Tu Yuan's body was wrapped in circles of gauze, which had obviously been carefully treated, and most of his cracked wounds had healed, but the wounds of the more strict zhòng were still oozing blood. He looked sluggish, he knelt in the middle of the cold palace, a warm-looking wool cloak draped over his shoulders, his head slightly bowed, his cloak was scattered, and his expression was empty, like a doll without self-will.

Demon Venerable looked at the starry sky for a while, then looked back at Tu Yuan, and said, "You are really disobedient, you are still fighting against the invading demonic qi in your body, you will be hurt to death." ”

Demon Venerable's words were not answered, and Tu Yuan still looked hollow and sluggish, kneeling on the ground and not moving, and he could vaguely see that the wounds on his body were still oozing blood.

"It's stubborn. The Demon Venerable sighed helplessly, turned around and moved closer to Tu Yuan, he reached out and pinched a few magic decisions, and entered Tu Yuan's body, Tu Yuan immediately showed a painful expression, because the Demon Venerable directly broke up the true qi defense line that he had barely gathered, and those fierce demonic qi were no longer hindered, and immediately began to run around in his body.

The demonic qi was rampant, Tu Yuan was lying on the ground trembling in pain, he let out a faint groan, and the wound began to ooze a large area of blood, and the Demon Venerable used several healing spells, and used Tu Yuan's blood to draw a magic circle under him, and the glowing blood array encircled Tu Yuan in the middle, slowly healing his injuries.

"If you had been obedient, I wouldn't have used such forceful means. The Demon Venerable turned around and sat on his throne in the hall, supporting his chin with his hand, looking at the dying Tu Yuan below, still sighing: "Because of love, there are few in the world. If you can become a demon cultivator, you must have extraordinary strength, this is your fate, why resist?"

Tu Yuan was in so much pain that he could barely hear the words of the Demon Venerable, he tried his best to command his body, trying to crawl out of that healing circle, he just wanted to die, he didn't want to become a demon cultivator.

Why is it so hard to die?

At this moment, Shi Ming, who had been opened by Qiu Zihang, walked into the palace of the Demon Venerable, and did not look at the painful Tu Yuan over there, but walked directly to the hall of the Demon Venerable, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, and shouted respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Demon Venerable." ”

Demon Venerable lazily moved his gaze from Tu Yuan to Shi Ming, and then laughed: "It turned out to be Shi Ming, you are back." ”

Shi Ming swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but secretly raise his head to look at the Demon Venerable, through the huge skylight above the palace, the light projected by the starry sky outside, Shi Ming could clearly see the figure sitting on the Demon King's throne at this moment.

The Demon Venerable rarely had long red hair and fiery eyes, but his skin was quite fair, handsome, and beautiful. He even wore a fiery red robe, embroidered with fire clouds, in the dark and cold world, it was clear that he was the representative of darkness, a symbol of death, but the appearance of this person looked more like a flame that symbolized light and was scorching and burning.

Only the thick black mist that spread around him revealed his identity.

"I heard that you have news of He Qianjue?" Demon Venerable was unhurried, and seemed to be interested in this, but he didn't seem to be too interested. He tilted his head and stared at Shi Ming, his eyes revealed heavy pressure, he hoped that Shi Ming would not make up stories casually to deceive himself, his warning made Shi Ming suddenly feel his scalp tingle, Shi Ming had no choice but to lower his head and slowly say to the Demon Venerable.

Shi Ming confessed what he had encountered in that mirror.

He told the Demon Venerable that he was fortunate enough to follow a fox spirit into a mirror, and the mirror was sealed with He Qianjue, he heard the name He Qianjue mentioned by the Demon Venerable, and the Demon Venerable also said something like that, so Shi Ming was worried that He Qianjue could really kill the Demon Venerable, so he wanted to strike first and kill He Qianjue when he was weak and weak.

Who knew that He Qianjue was extremely strong, Shi Ming was defeated, was countered to the army, and lost his arm.

After listening to what happened to Shi Ming, the Demon Venerable was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed, and he even laughed out loud.

"Haha!

Demon Venerable couldn't help but clap his hands, and then even stood up from his seat, he stepped down from his throne and slowly walked in front of Shi Ming.

Shi Ming was still kneeling on the ground, his head bowed. Hearing the footsteps of the Demon Venerable approaching, when the Demon Venerable stood in front of him, he looked down and could see the Demon Venerable's shoes, the Demon Venerable was dressed in red, and the shoes were also matching boots, and the fiery red fire cloud map on it was quite dazzling.

The Demon Venerable said to him, "Raise your head. ”

Being so close to the Demon Venerable made Shi Ming feel very stressed, as if a mountain was pressing on him, but he had to exert all his strength very hard, trying to lift his head, and looked at the Demon Venerable carefully.

Demon Venerable's tone was not good, and he smiled at him: "My opponent, you dare to kill too?"

The fiery red in Demon Venerable's eyes made Shi Ming tremble uncontrollably.

Demon Venerable said: "In the early years, I loved you very much, Shi Ming, and even took you with me all the time and let you serve me, but then I began to alienate you, and I sent you far away from the human world to do a hidden investigation, in a sense, it is almost equivalent to expelling you from the demon world, and completely cut off all contact with you, you know...... Is that why?"

"Subordinate...... Ignorance. Shi Ming gritted his teeth and subconsciously clenched his fists.

"I like hopeful people. Demon Venerable narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "People who are deep in despair but still have dreams, refuse to give up, persevere to the end, and have a clear understanding of themselves and the future." ”

"It's like this ...... right now," said the Demon Venerable, glancing at Tu Yuan, who was still trembling in the circle next to him.

The Demon Venerable moved his gaze back from Tu Yuan to Shi Ming's side, and he stared at Shi Ming: "You used to make me feel this way before, when you first entered the Demon Realm...... But then you changed, and I don't like you very much now. ”

"Actually, many people who have just entered the demon world have made me feel this way, they all have beautiful qualities, they all have a brilliance like the sun, so beautiful that I can't help but take them around and treasure them, but why? After staying by my side for a long time, your brilliance has gradually disappeared. ”

Demon Venerable crouched down and glared at Shi Ming: "You have become humble, ugly, evil, and disgusting. ”

Shi Ming was speechless, his face was pale and he looked at the Demon Venerable, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, he could feel the surging killing intent of the Demon Venerable, which made Shi Ming's teeth tremble.

"Don't worry. Demon Venerable spoke softly in Shi Ming's ear, "I'm too lazy to murder you because you brought me good news." ”

"I am willing to forgive you for your mistakes for the sake of this good news. Demon Venerable stood up again as he spoke, and he brushed his scattered red hair: "So now, get out of my hall." ”

Shi Ming bowed his head and retreated, he stood up and left the Demon Venerable's palace quickly, when he passed by Qiu Zihang who was waiting outside, Qiu Zihang sneered again: "Yo, why did you come out so quickly?

Shi Ming ignored him, he was sweating profusely, quickened his pace and walked outside, out of the various prohibitions laid by the Demon Venerable, when he walked to the desolate rocky ground in the Demon Realm, he stopped with some doubts.

For some reason, Demon Venerable's words kept recalling in Shi Ming's mind, and he couldn't help but think and examine himself, whether he really had the "good qualities" that Mozun said, and whether he had really completely lost them?

After Shi Ming left, Demon Venerable's attention returned to his newly acquired little toy, the healing circle had fully worked, and Tu Yuan, who was bleeding non-stop, finally stopped bleeding, and the wounds on his body gradually began to improve, but at the same time, the demonic qi had also echoed in all the meridian qi points on his body like a bone appendage.

Tu Yuan also gradually became conscious, he got up, looking a little overwhelmed and frightened, he scratched his face and body frantically with his fingers, and actually pulled out countless blood marks, his movements seemed to want to pick out all the demonic energy on his body with his fingernails, he began to roar silently, he didn't want to become a demon cultivator, he didn't want to continue to live, he would rather die, he would rather die!

Demon Venerable was very happy, observed Tu Yuan, smiled with satisfaction, reached out and hooked a trace of Tu Yuan's black hair in the palm of his hand to play, and said, "You look really beautiful." ”

……

On the other side, Helian Hurui returned to the gate of Xikou Hospital.

She wandered around the entrance of the hospital for a while, thinking about a lot of things, and finally looked at the greenhouse equipment that was still stacked at the entrance of the hospital, so she stepped forward and lifted the equipment with the method, and then carried it to the mirror, knocked on the mirror, and waited for He Qianjue's reaction inside.

The mirror was silent for a while, the time was not long, but every minute and second made the fox feel quite long, she thought that she would be turned away from the mirror by He Qianjue, but it turned out that it was not, the mirror made a circle of ripples, which was the sign that He Qianjue allowed her to enter.

So the fox went in with a bunch of greenhouse equipment, stacked everything in turn in the open space of the mirror space, and added a few more spells, so that the equipment began to assemble automatically, and began to form a mini greenhouse in this small space that was not particularly large.

He Qianjue had just fallen asleep in Yan Snake's arms for a while, he was in a good mood when he woke up, and he forgot the bad mood caused by the bad things before for the time being, and when he saw that it was a fox, he asked her: "Why are you back again?

The fox bit his lip and replied, "I had a fight with him, and we broke up." ”

He Qianjue was quite happy when she heard this, clapped her hands and smiled: "It's good to break up, that kind of man is not suitable for you." ”

"I'm going to look for him in the Demon Realm. As soon as He Qianjue finished speaking, the fox added such a sentence, which immediately made the smile on He Qianjue's face freeze.

He Qianjue reached out and rubbed his temples: "I heard me right, right? What did you just say?"

"I'm going to the Demon Realm to find him. The fox lowered her head, she was probably very nervous and confused, her ears and tails popped out when she spoke, and she drooped pitifully: "I can't rest assured." ”

"You're a slut. He Qianjue accused her mercilessly, slapped the table with his hand and said angrily: "What did I say before? Could it be that you didn't understand!? That demon cultivator is too heavy! He has a hard to get rid of the demons in his heart, his heart is not strong, and he is impulsive and irritable when he encounters problems, you follow him is simply going to die!"

The fox lay on the ground with a hoarse voice: "Sir, I won't give up no matter what you say, I really like him, he wasn't like this when he was with me, I believe he was just affected by his own demons, he just lost himself for a while, he couldn't find the right path, and I was willing to help find ...... He's going to get better. ”

He Qianjue looked at the fox with hatred, and said indignantly: "The woman is infatuated, that's all, but what kind of place is the demon world, do you really know?"

"I know. Helian Hurui said: "Shi Ming described it to me. ”

"Since you know that you still want to go?" He Qianjue felt that his head hurt, he and this fox have been getting along for a while, He Qianjue is a soft-hearted person who has been in contact with him, he will not condone the other party to jump into the fire pit lightly, so he tried to dissuade the fox: "That demon world is rampant, and there are countless fierce beasts, not to mention all kinds of demon cultivators and demons with blood debts, it can be called a group of demons dancing!"

"And that terrible environment, with a thin aura and a lack of resources. He Qianjue was able to describe all kinds of difficulties in the demon world clearly, and he continued: "Look at your current cultivation and ability, if you go in, do you still have the life to come back?"

The fox bit her lip tightly, and even bit her own lip out of blood, her eyes were moist, and her eyes were red, and she choked up: "I'm afraid I'll never see him again...... Before he left, he said he would never come to me again, I ...... I don't want to see ...... again."

"Did you say you wanted to break off with him, and now you say you can't let it go?" He Qianjue was helpless, rubbing his head with a faint ache; "What do you want, let's be clear, Helian Hurui." ”

"I'm sorry, sir. Helian Hurui seemed to have made up his mind, lying on the ground and bowing his head to He Qianjue, "I was not good before, I have always been indecisive and hesitant, and I always have the mind of breaking the thread when I break it, and I have been relying on you to trouble you......"

He Qianjue stretched out his hand to support his forehead: "No, damn it...... You didn't bother me. You renovated the mirror space for me, I should thank you for your ......"

Helian Hurui raised his head firmly at this moment and looked at He Qianjue: "But I still trouble Mr., when I brought Shi Ming into this mirror, I also hoped that Mr. could help me see if Shi Ming is worth paying so much." ”

He Qianjue said: "He is not worth it. ”

The fox smiled: "I just realized that it is not a question of whether it is worth it or not. I like him, I am willing to pay for him, it is all my business, and you have nothing to do with you, sir, or even Shi Ming. ”

He Qianjue didn't speak, he didn't quite understand what this vixen meant.

"I've rarely ever had a real liking in my life. The fox continued, "I have been in and out of the world for nearly a thousand years, and I have dealt with all kinds of people, during which the only person who can make me remember such a person is Shi Ming, even if Shi Ming doesn't like me anymore and is going to give up on me, I have decided to do something for him, and it is not in vain the sincerity I have paid." ”

"Moreover, I am so willful, let Shi Ming chase me all over the world for so many years, it's time to compensate him. ”

After speaking, the fox lowered his head again and saluted He Qianjue: "I came today to say goodbye to Mr. At the same time, thank you, sir, you don't mind Shi Ming's rude attack on you, and there are a lot of adults who are willing to let him go. ”

After saying this, the fox spirit stood up, she had already decided to go to the Demon Realm, she used to do everything possible to avoid Shi Ming just because she didn't want to follow him to the Demon Realm, but now it was so ridiculous, she was willing to take the initiative to go to that terrible place.

But when the fox turned around and wanted to leave the mirror, He Qianjue stopped her.

"It's a nuisance. He Qianjue grabbed his hair hard, feeling irritable and helpless.

Yan Snake next to him saw that he was irritable, and reached out to help He Qianjue straighten out his hair that was messy by himself.

"Helian Hurui. He Qianjue called the fox's name, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said: "When you meet me, it can be regarded as our fate, and you have promised that even if you want to run around the world outside, you will definitely come back to see me often, right?"

The fox couldn't help but turn his head and not look at He Qianjue: "This time I went to the Demon Realm, I don't know if I can come back, please sir...... Don't expect anything from the crowd. ”

"That's why I'm going to help you. He Qianjue looked at her seriously, "I want you to fulfill your promise, so you can't die outside." ”

The fox didn't quite understand what He Qianjue meant, so he turned his head and looked at him suspiciously: "Sir, what do you mean......"

"Come here. He Qianjue beckoned to him.

The fox went over obediently and obediently, walked in front of He Qianjue, and knelt in front of him.

"I'm going to leave a sigil on you and make you a stand-in puppet. He Qianjue explained to the fox the stand-in doll he had made for Ying Qian before.

"You have to pay attention to the fact that the line between the demon world and the human world is very large, so the stand-in puppet can't stay in my mirror, because there is no way to bear the damage for you if you stay here, you have to take it with you to the demon world, and then leave the puppet next to the gate of the demon world, I will apply a high-level concealment spell on the puppet, others will only treat this puppet as a stone on the side of the road so they won't notice, if you have an accident in the demon world, this stand-in will die in your place, and you yourself will be directly teleported to the entrance of the demon world where the puppet is located. ”

"If you use up the stand-in, then don't stay in the Demon Realm and come back immediately along the Demon Realm Gate, understand?"
