Chapter 113: The Scorching Sun

One afternoon, in the ruins of the Demon Gate, which had been silent for many years, a gate suddenly opened from the other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the wind passed, the dust of the demon gate was blown away, vaguely revealing their former appearance.

It has been more than sixty years since the original battle to destroy demons in the abyss of the seven seas, and in such a long time for the human world, the changes in Sifang City are not very big.

The people living in the Sifang City are all cultivators, and the Soul Refining Hall in the Sifang City has a great effect on people's cultivation, as long as the cultivators have a deep foundation, they are not afraid of the passage of time, even if a hundred years have passed, there may not be any changes

The real change is that Sifang City is much more lively than before.

Since they had a relationship with the Tiangang Alliance more than sixty years ago, Qiu Tang, the city lord of Sifang City, and Su Qi, the leader of the Tiangang Alliance, have become friends, and the two will think of ways to make trouble for each other when they have nothing to do.

For example, the new disciples in Sifang City, Qiu Tang will always send them to the Tiangang League first to let Su Qi โ–กโ–ก it, which is called experience. And the triennial Xuantian Test was held in the Tiangang League, and Su Qi simply moved the venue of the competition to the Sifang City, making the Sifang City so busy.

And the last few days are the days of the Xuantian Conference.

This is a very important day for the young people who have just grown up in the righteous path, so when the teenagers stepped into this square city, they were more or less nervous.

When the Xuantian Trial was held, there were a lot of people who came and went, and the Sifang City has always been cautious, and the people who came and went were all carrying the tokens of the Xuantian Trial, and only those who held the tokens could enter. So after checking a teenager sent by Xuanyang, the person in charge of the guard blocked the gate of two people who couldn't get the token.

"The city lord has an order, and you can't let it go without a token, I think you still ......," the man lowered his head and whispered.

However, before he finished speaking, the handsome-looking man standing opposite couldn't help but interrupt: "You go and ask your city lord, just say that an old friend is coming......

The guard frowned a little impatiently, shook his head and said, "Don't stand in the way here, get out of the way, there are old friends coming to the city lord every day during this time, and the city lord is busy now." โ€

Man: "......"

He turned around a little helplessly and threw a glance at the woman beside him.

These two people are Chu Qingjiu and Su Xian.

More than sixty years have passed in the Demon Realm, and under the joint education of Chu Qingjiu and Su Xian, Haoye, as the next Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, has finally grown up โ–กโ–ก speed. Not long ago, Su Xian, who no longer wanted to be a demon lord, finally unloaded his burden, opened the door of the demon realm with Chu Qingjiu, and returned to the human world.

The two finally got free, and naturally there were many things they wanted to do, and the first thing they did was to go to the places they had stayed in and catch up with their former friends.

However, when they came, they really didn't think that they could change so many things in more than sixty years, and a quiet and hidden place like Sifang City in the past would become a competition venue for the Xuantian Trial.

This trip to Sifang City will encounter this kind of grand event, and meeting so many people is something that Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu did not expect.

The two of them were stopped outside the gate of Sifang City, and it would not be difficult to break in, but in this way, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of commotion. Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu just wanted to come quietly to meet Qiu Tang, but they really didn't think about making any commotion.

Just when they were hesitating, a few more people passed by, more than sixty years have passed, but the costumes of the three sects and seven sects of the righteous path have not changed much, Su Xian recognized them at a glance as people from Tianwu Temple, seeing them passing by this gate, she looked hesitant, and suddenly looked at Chu Qingjiu.

Chu Qingjiu was also looking at Su Xian, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both understood what the other party meant.

"There's something weird about those guys

ใ€‚ Su Xian said.

Chu Qingjiu also nodded, and said with interest, "It seems that every Xuantian test is not a peaceful day, and there are always people who want to make some trouble." โ€

Chu Qingjiu's words made Su Xian think of the time when she participated in the Xuantian test in order to get the soul tracing bead, she frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Those messes are really not an interesting thing. โ€

The two men refused to leave the city of the Four Directions, and they could not enter at the gate, so they began to talk here. The man guarding the city gate couldn't help but mutter, waved his hand, and said, "You can't go or not, don't get in the way." โ€

Chu Qingjiu hadn't been treated like this for a long time, so he couldn't help laughing, and joked to the guard: "I just won't leave, I will let the people in your city pick me up, do you believe that I am an old friend of your city lord?" โ€

The guard couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Pick you up?" Who do you call to pick you up? Now that the Xuantian trial is about to start, everyone is busy, who has time to take care of you? โ€

"Then you let me try it." Chu Qingjiu smiled mysteriously, gently rubbed next to Su Xian's ear, and whispered, "Wait for me for a while." โ€

He acted like this, even Su Xian didn't expect it.

Su Xian looked at him with amusement and pretended to be mysterious, and wanted to know what trick he was going to play, so he nodded and said, "Okay." โ€

Chu Qingjiu took a few steps to the side of the city wall, muttered something, and suddenly raised his hand.

There was nothing in his hand, but this time a little golden light suddenly rose from his palm, and suddenly the originally dark sky seemed to be lit up by this cluster of golden light, and the golden light spread out in the sky, and from the place where the golden light was scattered, the black oppressive clouds all faded, revealing the blue sky behind the clouds.

The whole sky suddenly brightened, and the scene before him was like a miracle, and the guard's eyes couldn't help but widen at it.

Chu Qingjiu still had a shallow smile on his face, and withdrew his hand, as if he was patiently waiting for something.

The guard hesitated and looked at Chu lightly, and then looked at Su Xian, who had never made a move behind him, and couldn't touch the depth of the two people for a while, so he had to whisper: "You guys...... Who the hell is it? โ€

Chu was lightly drunk but smiled silently, and his unfathomable appearance made the guard even more empty.

Of course, Su Xian knew what was going on, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor ruled over all souls, and for him, it was just a wave of his hand to change the sky.

Just as the guard was glaring, there was a sudden noise in the Sifang City, and the guard's face changed slightly, and he suddenly murmured, "Divine fox? โ€

"Divine Fox?" Su Xian also asked puzzled, not understanding what he was talking about.

At the same time that Su Xian was puzzled, the sound of footsteps in the Sifang City became louder and louder, and the sound actually shook the entire city gate trembling slightly. In the midst of this trembling, a huge white figure as large as a mountain rushed over, and the hair on its body reflected dazzling light in the sunlight.

The figure paused suddenly when it was about to approach, and then let out a "whoosh" cry, and after choosing between the positions where Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu were standing, he suddenly changed his direction and rushed straight towards Su Xian.

Chu Qingjiu frowned slightly, and sneered: "Little colored fox!" โ€

Facing the huge figure approaching, Su Xian also had a smile in his eyes.

The originally majestic figure passed through the crowd desperately, and flew in the shocked gaze of others, and when the figure was in the air, it suddenly shrank with a "bang", turning into a snow-white small hairball, and it fell into Su Xian's arms so lightly

The shrunken fox didn't look much different from when they were separated more than sixty years ago, it barked happily twice, and then buried its head on Su Xian's shoulder and rubbed it affectionately.

"God...... Do you know the Divine Fox? It wasn't until this point that the guard finally spoke.

Su Xian hugged the little fox and came back to his senses and nodded slightly.

Chu Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I said earlier that we are old friends of the city lord, but you don't believe it." "He had to call the little fox out to prove their identity.

The guard scratched his head and laughed a little embarrassedly, and Chu Qingjiu asked again, "When did this little fox become a god fox?" โ€

"Lord Shenhu is the guardian beast of our Sifang City, and his identity is naturally different." The guard explained, Chu Qingjiu listened to it funny, turned around and saw that the little fox was still rubbing his wife endlessly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand towards Su Xian with bad intentions and said, "Ah Xian, come and hug this guy for me." "See if he doesn't crumple this fox into a hairball.

Before Su Xian could answer, the little fox seemed to understand Chu Qingjiu's intentions, and suddenly drilled into Su Xian's arms, only revealing two eyes and looking at each other vigilantly.

Chu Qingjiu's eyes widened, and he was about to snatch the fox again, but suddenly another voice came from the other end of the Sifang City: "Ah Xian, Xiao Chu? โ€

This voice was very familiar, Chu Qingjiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, looked back at the person who came, and said in surprise: "Aunt Yue!" Although he has regained his identity as the Immortal Emperor, his habits and title as Chu Qingjiu still haven't changed.

The person who came was none other than Ximen Yue. She didn't look much different from before, seeing Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu appear outside the Sifang City, her expression was also full of surprise, and she couldn't help but say: "When I saw the little fox running out, I knew that it should have met an acquaintance, but I didn't expect it to be really you, you two ......."

"We're back." Chu Qingjiu laughed, took Su Xian's hand and said, "I brought Ah Xian back." โ€

Ximen Yue smiled: "Come in quickly, Qiu Tang will be very happy if he knows that you are back." โ€

As they spoke, they walked towards the Sifang City, and there were many young disciples of various sects who came to participate in the Xuantian Test, Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu followed behind Ximenyue, Su Xian was still holding the little fox in his hand, and listened quietly to Ximenyue all the way to what happened in the Sifang City after they left, and talked about the situation in the world today.

At the end, Ximen Yuecai said: "I'll arrange a place for you first, Qiu Tang is now receiving guests outside, I'm afraid it will be a while before I can come back, you have been traveling for so long to rest here for a while, how about staying for a while?" โ€

"We just want to stay here for a long time this time, but I wonder if the city lord of Qiutang is willing to take us in?" Chu said lightly.

Ximen Yue said with a smile: "Qiu Tang will only blame you for not coming earlier." โ€

The three of them wanted to continue chatting, but the day in the city was indeed very busy, and after Ximen Yue led the two to a courtyard, he arranged a room for them, and several subordinates came to urge. Ximen Yue had no choice but to leave first, leaving Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu to sit in the courtyard.

Chu Qingjiu and Su Xian sat together in the courtyard, and the two of them were speechless for a while, only looking around.

In fact, more than sixty years had passed, but they still remembered this courtyard vividly, and this courtyard was where they lived when they stayed in Sifang City more than sixty years ago

More than 60 years have changed a lot here, several places have been destroyed because of some battle, some places have traces of being repaired, there is a pond in the courtyard, there are a few beautiful golden carp in it, Chu Qingjiu has nothing to do, and his favorite thing to do is to lie in the pavilion and feed the fish in the pond.

Now, time has passed, but you can still see what it used to be.

The two of them also remembered that when the battle was about to start, they said that they hoped that one day they could calm down and live a peaceful and comfortable life in the quiet residence of Sifang City.

These things have become memories, and after more than 60 years, they are finally able to get their wish.

"It's still just as beautiful here." Su Xian sighed.

"It's a pity that it's not as quiet as it used to be." Chu Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and said, but his eyes still fell on Su Xian's arms, he muttered and gently reached out to pinch the ears of the little fox in Su Xian's arms, but was avoided by the little fox's quick movements. Chu Qingjiu said casually, "Qiu Tang is not a person who likes to be quiet, this Sifang City looks more and more like the second Tiangang Alliance." โ€

Su Xian understood what Chu Qingjiu meant, and immediately asked, "Are you afraid that Sifang City will get involved in disputes, and something will happen again?" โ€

Chu Qingjiu didn't raise his eyelids and said, "With the two of us here, what can happen to Sifang City?" โ€

Hearing Chu Qingjiu mention this, Su Xian couldn't help but think of another question: "As the Immortal Emperor, you first stayed in the Demon Realm for so many years after recovering your divine power, and then came back to the Human Realm with me, do you really not need to go back to the Divine Realm?" โ€

"Hmm......" Chu Qingjiu smiled with a smile, "Ziwei hasn't recovered yet, and no one cares about me." I handed over my affairs to Qinghua for the time being, he was the one who was on top of it when I was not there in the past, and now it shouldn't be a problem if I take a few more years. โ€

Su Xian: "......" couldn't help but sympathize with the Qinghua Emperor who had never met.

However, Chu Qingjiu didn't seem to have the slightest guilt, "Don't worry, Qinghua likes to do these things very much, he can't wait to take the whole world on his own, so we don't have to worry about him." โ€

Before Su Xian could respond, Chu Qingjiu suddenly let out an "ah", raised his eyes to look behind Su Xian, and said loudly: "Qiu Tang, you guy is finally willing to come?" โ€

Su Xian looked back, and the little fox in his arms also turned around, but at this moment, Chu Qingjiu's eyes suddenly flashed with a sly smile, and at this moment, he suddenly made a move and snatched the little fox from Su Xian's arms.

"......" Su Xian lowered his head and looked at the empty embrace.

Over there, Chu Qingjiu had already hugged the little fox and kneaded it fiercely, looking like he was going to avenge Fang Cai's wife-snatching revenge.

It's not good to bully the fox and use any immortal arts, Chu Qingjiu and the little fox scuffled for a long time, Su Xian sat next to him and had nothing to do, so she poured herself a cup of tea and drank it, after drinking the tea, she raised her eyes to look at the sky again, and saw that the sun was gradually sinking in the west, and there was finally a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.

The footsteps seemed to be very urgent, Su Xian knew who was coming as soon as she heard it, she coughed lightly and turned around, and saw Qiu Tang walking quickly, followed by Nan Chen, who was holding a few books.

"Long time no see." Su Xian put down the teacup and smiled at the two people outside the courtyard.

Qiu Tang came in a hurry, but when he really arrived outside the hospital, he stopped again, he looked at Su Xian in a daze for a while, suddenly exhaled, shook his head and said: "It hasn't changed at all, it feels like going back to more than sixty years ago."

ใ€‚ โ€

"You don't look like you've changed much." Su Xian said.

She is also telling the truth, although Qiu Tang, who is the city lord of Sifang City, is wearing elegant clothes, and looks a lot more mature than before at a glance, but from the point of view of his demeanor, he still looks like the young city lord who was not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Hearing Su Xian's words, Qiu Tang laughed helplessly, didn't continue, and only asked after a while: "What about Chu Qingjiu?" โ€

Su Xian looked behind him.

Chu Qingjiu was still scuffling with the little fox, and he didn't know if he listened to the conversation between the two of them, and when Qiu Tang came over, he grabbed the little fox's tail, picked it upside down, and turned back to Qiu Tang and said, "I asked you to take care of this little fox for me, why did you take care of it like this?" โ€

Qiu Tang couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, "I'll help you eat and drink well to serve this little fox, so that the people of the entire Sifang City will think that this fox is a guardian beast, what else do you have to be picky?" โ€

"Who told you to raise it so well?" Chu Qingjiu couldn't help frowning and said, "This kind of colored fox should starve him for a few years first, and see if it dares to be so cowardly in the future." โ€

Qiu Tang: "......" feelings have been raised in vain for so many years?

The little fox struggled in Chu Qingjiu's hand, couldn't help but let out a small whimper, and looked at Su Xian pitifully with a pair of big eyes. Su Xian couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly fished the little fox back. Chu Qingjiu didn't dare to fight with Su Xian, so he had to watch the little fox lie comfortably in Su Xian's arms.

Chu Qingjiu let out a dissatisfied snort, and couldn't help but stare at Qiu Tang.

Qiu Tang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, and they all have endless words. After some fighting, they quickly sat down in the courtyard and chatted with each other about what had happened in the past few days.

Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu are talking about things in the demon world, and Qiu Tang is talking about what is happening in the human world.

It was only until now that Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu knew that the days in the human world were not as peaceful as they imagined. After the Demon Lord was eliminated, the righteous path faced the struggle between Sanssouci Valley and the Ghost Gate, and later although the Xuanyue Sect ended this struggle, the Ghost Gate seemed to be retiring, but it had been carrying out its own plan all along. Although Sanssouci Valley collapsed, some of the remnants of the party still survived, and some of the major events that happened in the human world later were stirred up by them.

The biggest thing that has happened over the years is probably that the three sects and seven factions have been constantly interfered with by unknown forces, and the one that has received the greatest impact should be the empty cicada faction.

Today's Empty Cicada Sect has suffered several attacks, and its population is thin, and it is no longer the leader of the three sects and seven factions at the beginning.

Hearing that the Empty Cicada Sect had encountered such a thing, Su Xian, who was once a member of the Empty Cicada Sect, still couldn't help but sigh.

"But you don't have to worry too much, the Empty Cicada Sect is slowly getting better now, now the head of the Empty Cicada Sect is Mei Dyeyi, you should know, he used to be a martial idiot, but now it's better, the Empty Cicada Sect can produce people now, I think this time in the Xuantian Test, the first place probably has to be someone from the Empty Cicada Sect." Qiu Tang comforted.

I didn't expect so many changes to occur in more than sixty years, Su Xian nodded in response, and Qiu Tang quickly said: "If you are interested, you can come with me to take a look at this Xuantian test."

ใ€‚ โ€

"Okay." Chu Qingjiu seemed to be fine, and he couldn't be more willing to take a look at the competition to kill time.

Chu Qingjiu agreed, Su Xian naturally had nothing to say, several people talked for a while, and Su Xian asked about other people.

"Shu Wuzhi and Yaolan have long been in the Empty Cicada Sect, they went to Bilan Mountain to live in seclusion, and we have also seen them before." Qiu Tang was very clear about the whereabouts of these people, and he continued, "Su Qi is in Sifang City now, but as the leader of the Tiangang Alliance, he has more things to do than me, and there is no way to come to see you now, you wait here for a while, he will come over as soon as possible." โ€

Hearing about these people, Su Xian was a little relieved, and Chu Qingjiu asked again, "What about Xiao Mu?" โ€

"Mu Shuliang?" When Qiu Tang mentioned this person, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "He hasn't woken up yet, he has slept long enough this night." โ€

Chu Qingjiu's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "More than two thousand years ago, in order to fight against the Heyday Demon Lord, he already lost more than the rest of us, and later when he was in the Seven Seas Abyss, his soul was attacked without recovery, and the Demon Lord took the opportunity to regain the remnant soul in his body, so it became like this." โ€

"No way?" Qiu Tang asked.

Chu Qingjiu's expression gave Qiu Tang an answer, and he continued: "If you are injured, you will be able to heal quickly, but the soul injury is different, it took me two thousand years to recover reluctantly, Ziwei's soul was hit hard this time, none of us can help him, we can only rely on him to recover slowly." I'm not sure how long it will take him to wake up. โ€

"When the empty cicada sent out an accident, if Xiao Mu was here, he would definitely not become what he is now." Qiu Tang sighed, suddenly seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but say: "Speaking of which, there is a girl in the Empty Cicada Sect now, but she is a little similar to Xiao Mu back then." โ€

"Girl?" Chu Qingjiu asked, and quickly laughed, "If Ziwei hears you say that he looks like a girl, he will definitely wake you up." โ€

Qiu Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "That's good, I'll be so angry with him another day to see if he can wake up." โ€

Not long after everyone talked, the leader of the Tiangang Alliance, Su Qi, finally came.

Su Qi is still the same as before, and he can't see any changes, but his eyes are full of exhaustion, and it is not easy for him to come to this Xuantian test.

Everyone reminisced about the old days, and at the end Su Xian remembered the few Tianwuguan disciples he met at the gate of Sifang City today, so he told Su Qi about the strangeness, Su Qi didn't seem to be defenseless, Su Xian's words were not at all unexpected by him, he shook his head and said: "Someone wants to take advantage of this Xuantian trial to make some trouble, I haven't found out whether their purpose is the Tiangang Alliance or the Three Sects and Seven Sects, or more likely, their target is this Sifang City." At this time, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be threatened by the names of the young disciples who participated in this competition, and I am also worried about this, so I have not been able to come to see you for a long time. โ€

Hearing Su Qi say this, Su Xian and Chu Qingjiu understood the seriousness of this matter.

The more you can't find out the details of the enemy, the more terrible it becomes.

Su Xian said: "Xiao Chu and I are in this city, if there is a place that can help, we will do our best to help." โ€

Qiu Tang also raised his eyebrows and said: "I'm not afraid of things in Sifang City, since they dare to do it in Sifang City, they should know what the consequences will be." โ€

"Hopefully they'll be able to retreat." Su Qi said thoughtfully, and everyone chatted so far, and then sat down to eat something and drink some wine. Until dawn.
