Third-Order Heavenly Domain, the main altar of the Demon Sect.

Outside the secret room where the sect leader was retreating, Baili Xuanji and the three elders looked at each other, and both sides wanted to speak and stopped, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.

After a long time, the three elders spoke first: "How long has it been?" ”

"A month." Baili Xuanji replied.

A simple question and answer between a man and a woman contains a lot of information.

In the past, the Demon Emperor's descendants cultivated, and he also came out to walk around every once in a while, and since a month ago, he has never walked out of the secret room.

If that's all it takes, the third-order powerhouse will have a long time of retreating, and it's normal for ten years to retreat. The real problem was that since the Demon Emperor Descendant walked in a month ago, Baili Xuanji and the Third Elder had not sensed that sect leader's aura again.

That feeling, how to put it, is as if the descendants of the Demon Emperor disappeared out of thin air.

Baili Xuanji and the responsibilities of the three elders all wanted to enter the secret room to find out, but they had scruples. After all, the Demon Emperor's heir is the nominal sect leader, and the sect leader's retreat place is not allowed to trespass without being summoned.

Inside the secret room, the white-haired birdman sat cross-legged, his eyes glazed over, and he even stopped breathing.

If someone is standing next to it, it is not difficult to see that this is a walking dead who has lost his sense of self.

The reason why this happened was because Zhao Hao went to the Eight Desolations, and in that strange space where time was unpredictable, the deity and the clone lost contact. Zhao Ritian, who was in the midst of the Eight Desolations, could not sense the existence of the incarnation outside his body, nor could he control the clone, so that the white-haired birdman entered a state of suspended animation.

At this time, whether it is Baili Xuanji or the three elders, they only need to push the door to enter, and they can dismantle the diorama.

The two of them had already noticed the abnormality, but they couldn't report it, because during this time, the Eastern Pole Demon Lord had gone far away to negotiate something important with Yao Ji.

Today, it was rare for the three elders to open their mouths, and Baili Xuanji followed the topic: "In the past month, my subordinates have not been able to sense the sect leader's qi, and they have asked the three elders to enter and investigate." ”

"I'm worried about it, the sect leader may be cultivating the technique of turtle breath, and it's not uncommon for there to be no breath fluctuations." The three elders were calm on the surface, but in their hearts they secretly scolded each other for being cunning. As long as she goes in to investigate, she will have to bear the charge of trespassing on the sect master's retreat, and those elder protectors who regard the descendants of the Demon Emperor as spiritual pillars can spray her to death with saliva.

"Third Elder, our sect leader has great magical powers, when he was in the Qingyun Realm, his subordinates saw it with their own eyes, and the sect leader used a kind of retreat technique, and the means were not inferior to the earth escape beasts." Although Baili Xuanji's position is lower than that of the other party, he is a celebrity in front of the chief protector, and he invisibly aggravates his tone: "If the sect leader uses the technique of retreat, he will have already escaped thousands of miles away, and when the time comes, the master will blame him, and you and I will not be able to afford it." ”

The third elder understood the subtext of the other party, and said in a deliberative tone: "That...... Let's open this door together? ”

This is to ask the two of them to carry the pot together, regardless of their merits and faults.

Baili Xuanji nodded, then stretched out his hand and knocked on the door three times, and said loudly: "Sect Master, my subordinates have something important to see!" ”

Under normal circumstances, even if a seven-star level powerhouse can't get out, it's still no problem to respond with two sentences. But at the moment, there was no reaction in the secret room, as if there was no one in there at all, which really aroused suspicion.

Baili Xuanji immediately made a decision, exchanged a look with the three elders, and the two of them stretched out a hand to press on the door at the same time, and shook the door open with their strength.

What catches your eye is a huge ornate screen.

The two of them bypassed the screen and saw the Demon Emperor's descendant sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The Demon Sect Leader turned his back to the two of them, without the slightest breath of life on his body, like the kind of real person who sat down when his longevity was exhausted.

He's dead?

The three elders were taken aback and froze on the spot.

Two possibilities flashed through her mind at once, one was that the sect leader had encountered big trouble during the retreat, and she had trained herself to death. This situation is not uncommon in the Demon Sect, the Demon Clan's martial arts pursue quick success, and the side effects are also very large, and there are not a few demons who have cultivated Demon Skills in history and led to violent death. Another possibility is that the Demon Emperor's heir committed suicide, and the sect leader was unwilling to be a puppet and unwilling to marry the Spirit Clan, and finally committed suicide.

Baili Xuanji had other plans, looking at the back of the sect leader, he suddenly shrank his gaze, as if he sensed something.

As long as he walked over and looked at the front of the Demon Emperor's descendant, he could verify the conjecture in his heart.

Just when Baili Xuanji took a step and just walked two steps away, the lifeless Demon Emperor descendant suddenly reacted.

But seeing that the white-haired birdman's body re-emanated energy fluctuations, a powerful breath of life circulated in his body.

He was like an old devil who had been sleeping for thousands of years, and suddenly woke up.

"Who dares to trespass on this retreat!"

I only heard the Demon Emperor's descendants burst into shouts, like a dragon's groan, which shook people's ears and made people's ears numb.

That voice was extremely penetrating, and it was transmitted at least ten miles away, and many people in the Demon Sect General Altar could hear it clearly.

At the same time, a black sword burst through the air, conjuring up countless sharp sword lights.

Baili Xuanji and the three elders' faces changed drastically, and they were forced by the sword light to dare not take another half step beyond the thunder pool, and used all their strength to take out the secret room.

However, the extremely agile black sword did not mean to let the two of them go, and chased them out violently.

A man and a woman did not dare to fight back, so they had to defend passively, and they were beaten to the ground by one of them.

At this moment, several figures flew in from a distance, namely the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Dharma Protectors. As for the Great Protector and the Second Protector, they went out on errands with the Demon Lord of the East Pole.

Seeing that Baili Xuanji and the three elders were embarrassed by the pitch-black flying sword, the three protectors and the six protectors were overjoyed, they saw the sect leader's methods for the first time. There was also a hint of relief in the Great Elder's eyes, and soon he stabilized his mood and shouted loudly, "Stop, who will tell you what happened?" ”

There is an old tradition in the Demon Sect, when the chief protector is not there, the great elder has the final say.

At this moment, the Great Elder has spoken, and it is still very deterrent.

At this time, the white-haired birdman walked out of the secret room, he glared angrily at Baili Xuanji and the three elders, and said indignantly: "These two people harbored evil intentions, and took advantage of the critical moment of my retreat and cultivation to shake open the door and try to attack this seat from behind!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Attacking the sect leader, this crime is too big, even the Eastern Pole Demon Lord can't afford to carry this pot.

The bewitching Third Elder's eyes darkened, and he felt that he had been calculated by the seemingly young sect leader.

The situation in front of me is equivalent to yellow mud smeared on chrysanthemums, not shi but also shi!

The Third Protector reacted quickly, ran to the door of the secret room to check it, and said loudly: "Great Elder Qiqi, the door of the secret room seems to be intact, but the door bolt inside has been broken. What the Sect Master said was true, someone trespassed into the secret room and interfered with the sect leader's retreat. ”
