Xu Ning returned to Yan Bing's boudoir by himself and rested for a while.

Until now, he didn't know if the old man Huangji had known about it.

in the chain space.

Xu Ning still summoned a few of his own shadows to cultivate the Mind Martial Arts as usual, and when the Eighteen Demon Destroying Locks were activated, they could already make ten consecutive sounds, and the black mist and fire on the chains became more and more intense.

The Emperor Venerable couldn't help but appreciate it when he saw that he was becoming more and more comfortable with the control of the Eighteen Demon Slaying Locks.

He and Xu Ning sat opposite each other, the old man did look a little weaker than before, I don't know if it was because the current soul of the chain was gradually getting stronger.

The old man of Huangji saw that there seemed to be a faint trace of worry between Xu Ning's eyebrows, and couldn't help asking, "Disciple, do you have anything urgent for me to talk to?" ”

Xu Ning then told the master about the "soul searching furnace" hidden in the underground ancient city, but for the time being, he didn't want to use the old man's body to deal with the Wu family in Wangcheng after his resurrection, after all, this is a later matter, and he hasn't figured out the situation of the Wu family for the time being.

After listening to Xu Ning's words, the Emperor Ji Venerable was not happy but worried, and said: "The old man has heard people mention this 'soul searching furnace' forged by the demon clan before, but if this fierce thing is obtained by you and me and reappears in the world, it will inevitably cause a great turmoil, and even you will die here." ”

As soon as Xu Ning heard that the old man knew about this furnace, maybe he had also been to the underground ancient city, if the master had been there, then it would not be difficult to guide himself into it with his divine sense, so he asked urgently: "Since the master knows the 'soul searching furnace', he must have also been to the underground ancient city of Tianchi?" ”

The Emperor Venerable shook his head: "I've only heard of this furnace, but I've never heard of any underground ancient cities, let alone I've been there. ”

He has pursued martial arts all his life and has been in the world, but he has never been to this wild and remote place.

Xu Ning was slightly disappointed when he heard this, and suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask clearly: "Master, do you know that after the resurrection of the Demon King, he was burned by four powerful martial arts cultivators?" ”

"The war between man and demon is recorded in detail in various ancient books, passed down from generation to generation, and old people of a certain age know it." The old man of Huangji didn't know what Xu Ning was asking about this matter, and asked rhetorically: "What are you asking about this, is it possible that someone will also find the 'Soul Searching Furnace' to resurrect the body of the Erling King again?" ”

"There are really other people looking for stoves right now." Xu Ning replied, "However, I just want to know if after the Demon King's body was destroyed, in addition to the soul still existing, there was also a peerless demon soldier left somewhere in the wilderness." ”

"That demon soldier is called the Scepter of Judgment!" The old man's eyes shone brightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, what the old patriarch said was true.

Xu Ning's expression became inexplicably solemn, he had personally been to the ancient city hidden under the Tianchi, and he had seen it with his own eyes, if the furnace was stored underground, then the terrible scepter must have been hidden somewhere in Juling Peak as the old patriarch said, and it was very likely that Chen Jin's careful thinking and experience would know about it.

He thought about it, he must have just come to Fengyun Hall, so Chen Jin would definitely not tell everything about it, and even the back mountain had not let him set foot in a single step. However, thinking that the scepter of judgment could devour souls and make people lose their minds, Xu Ning's heart couldn't help but worry about Chen Jin again.

Seeing his worried appearance, the Emperor Extreme Venerable was a little strange, so he had to soothe and say, "You have the peerless weapon of the Eighteen Demon Slayer Lock in your body, if you can raise the soul to the extreme and make eighteen rings, it will not be worse than the Ruling Scepter." ”

Xu Ning slowly came to his senses, no longer worrying about the sky, and asked the demon master hiding in the underground ancient city, hoping to learn more about the enemy's situation from the master's mouth.

The old man of Huangji pondered for a while and said his opinion: "In the current Soul Continent, the human race and the demon race live side by side, and the human race now occupies an absolute dominant position. But the demon clan will definitely not be willing to hide and live in the cold northern extreme cold land, for many years it has been infiltrating into the western cool, and the western cool and the southern wilderness are bordering each other, so the demonic spirit of the Demon Wind Mountain Range is not unrelated to the demon clan......"

"I understand, Master, what do you mean is that the demon magician hiding in the underground ancient city is not a rumored martial arts cultivator who has cultivated the art of demons and evils, but a member of the demon clan?" Xu Ning interjected.

The Emperor Venerable nodded, and his tone was quite heavy: "Since you came to the Wild Land, the power of the chain has obviously become stronger, and in the long run, it will inevitably completely devour the old man's soul." This 'soul searching furnace' was originally forged by the demon clan, and if the demon clan wants to destroy the human race, which is becoming more and more powerful now, it will definitely try to resurrect the demon king at any cost, so I think that the demon master must be a member of the demon clan. ”

Xu Ning also agreed with the old man's judgment: "Yes, the secret passages of the underground ancient city are intricate, if there is no map, it is impossible to enter it, and there are even more demons and ghosts in it, I am afraid that no matter how powerful a martial cultivator is, he will not be able to hide it for a long time." ”

He suddenly had another thought, and continued: "I don't think that the underground ancient city can be built by manpower, could it be that the demon clan can't build it?" If so, then it is not difficult to understand, the demon clan built an underground city, and hid the furnace in it, and now they want to steal the furnace and wait for a suitable time to resurrect the demon king. ”

The old man Huangji listened to his words and laughed. Xu Ning didn't know why the master was laughing, could it be that his analysis was wrong?

Sure enough, the old man Huang Ji smiled and said: "Where will the demon clan build any underground city palaces, they will only cast murder weapons that bring destruction." Thousands of years ago, the ancient people who lived in this forest were all skilled craftsmen, and they had the same construction skills, and the underground palace must have been built by the ancient people. ”

Xu Ning learned a lot of things from his master tonight, he originally thought that the demon race and the human race were basically well water now, and they were safe and sound, because his mother was not a human being. But now it seems that the world is calm on the surface, but in fact, the storm is already quietly forming.

The Emperor Venerable looked at his thoughtful appearance, and said with a solemn expression on his face: "Have you fallen in love with any girl recently?" Don't think that the old man's current consciousness is not as good as before, and he doesn't know anything. ”

When Xu Ning heard this, his face turned red, his heart was empty, and he stammered: "Apprentice, apprentice......"

"It is human nature for men to love women, and the most beautiful thing in the world is love." The Emperor Ji Venerable actually sighed, "I think that when your master and I were young and frivolous, I also experienced an unforgettable emotional incident......"

Xu Ning looked at the master in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while, the Emperor Venerable was a terrifying big devil back then.

"Alas, why bother to bring up the past if it is unbearable to look back." The old man continued to express his feelings, and there was a trace of sentimentality in his eyes, "You have to cherish the people around you, so that you won't become a walking dead like the old man in the end." ”

"People's hearts are really flesh and blood, and a madman like Master in the realm of martial arts cultivation also has unforgettable love and hatred." Xu Ning speculated wildly, "Did the old man become the feared Emperor Venerable because of an emotional injury?" ”

His innate curiosity became stronger, and because he was now intoxicated with love, he wanted to discuss more with Master.

At this moment, a delicate female voice in his consciousness was clearly calling his name: "Brother Xu Ning, wake up quickly." ”

The chain space suddenly distorted, and all the images shattered like foam.

Xu Ning woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him as well.

"Brother Xu Ning, did you sleep well?" Yan Bing lay on Xu Ning's body and combed his hair with his green and jade fingers.

Xu Ning turned his head to look out the window, it was bright outside, and he thought that he had been in the dream for a long time, and it was estimated that it should be almost noon now.

"Didn't you sleep all night?" Xu Ning asked with concern, seeing that there were a few more bloodshots in her originally clear eyes, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "I was running around all day yesterday, and it's not too late to study this map in the future." ”

Yan Bing lay down beside him and yawned: "If I don't understand it, I can't sleep well." ”

She held up the sheepskin map in her hand in front of Xu Ning, pointed to a place and said, "You see this is the broken bridge we met with the blood monkey that day, as long as we cross this broken bridge, it will be regarded as entering the center of the ancient city." ”

Xu Ning thought about it and asked worriedly: "The broken bridge is now completely destroyed, and the front of the suspension cable is also broken a lot, how can you get by?" ”

Yan Bing smiled and said proudly: "You don't have to worry about this, I've already thought of a way." ”

Xu Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged her cheeks with both hands, kissed her the forehead, and asked, "Tell me your method, how can you get over?" ”

Yan Bing sold him a pass, so he made a fuss, and said mysteriously: "When we go inside, you will understand for yourself, I am very sleepy now, let me sleep beautifully." ”

Although Xu Ning was anxious, seeing that she was indeed too sleepy, she felt distressed, so she didn't ask more. In an instant, Yan Bing had already fallen asleep.

Xu Ning helped her cover the futon, quietly opened the door and walked out, but saw that the sky was bright outside, and it was almost noon. He had nothing to do, so he sat alone in the little hall, spread out the parchment, and pondered it.

I saw that the circles on it were full of various lines and shapes, as well as those ancient words used to note, where did he understand the half, and he quickly gave up. When I was bored, I heard the shouting of a large group of people in unison from a distance outside, and I was curious, and I walked towards the sound unconsciously.

Although it was already noon, the sunlight was not strong, it should have been blocked by the thick poisonous fog floating above, thanks to the purification of the colorful fairy orchid, otherwise where would there be such a beautiful pastoral scenery as zài.

In the daytime, the colorful light scattered everywhere was gone, and the surrounding scenery became clearer and more moving, and everywhere the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the flowers were red and willow green, and he followed the sound of the wooden bridge that he had passed last night, and entered the fruit grove, and sure enough, he saw a large group of people gathering in a clearing inside.

Most of these people were sturdy adult men who were practicing martial arts.

A tall gray-clothed old man was guiding the training of this group of people, and Xu Ning fixed his eyes and saw that it was one of the elders he had seen in the old patriarch's stone room last night.

But seeing that he has gray hair, his body is extremely tough, and his speech is also sonorous and powerful. The old man also saw Xu Ning from a distance, and the two nodded to each other.

Xu Ning walked over to the old man, bowed and saluted, and stood aside and quietly watched the training of these Yan warriors.
