When Su Wu said this, he pondered for a moment:

"When you say this, I suspect that the content of this secret agreement between the Beastmaster and Shi Qiuwu is probably more than just a truce."

"Will the closure of the Sea of Stars have something to do with the Shi family?" While Su Wu was still thinking about it, Song Qing Xiaoleng might as well throw out a question.

He was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, he heard Song Qingxiao ask:

"At the time of the Starry Sky Alliance, the Beastmaster had already reached the eighth order, right?" She asked Su Wu calmly.

These successive questions made Su Wu vaguely feel unusual.

He is accustomed to solving all problems by force, and in the face of absolute strength, any difficulties will be solved.

But Su Wu is extraordinary after all, he is also from a family, and he has vision and knowledge, but he disdains to use it.

Now that Song Qingxiao's intentions are so obvious, he has been with Song Qingxiao for many years, so he naturally guessed the reason for her questioning.

"Yes."

"What strength realm is the Eighth Order equivalent to among human cultivators?" Song Qingxiao asked again.

Su Wu said: "With the strength of the Beast King, it has reached the eighth order or above, which is at least equivalent to the middle and rear ranks of the Void Realm. ”

The higher the level of the demon beast, the more powerful the power of the bloodline awakens, and its physical body is quite strong, although its grade is equivalent to the strength of the middle and late stages of the Void Realm, but it can completely overwhelm the monks of the same level in actual combat.

This is also the reason why the Sea of Stars can be in the empire, but it can stand opposite to the empire, and it is not under the control of the empire, but it is self-contained.

"If a hundred years ago, Shi Qiuwu was already a half-stepping saint cultivator, then between him and the beast king, the cultivation is comparable."

Even according to Su Wu's words, if the demon beast can still suppress the monks of the same level because of its powerful talent ability, this secret agreement between Qiu Wu and the beast king at that time has to be suspicious.

The eighth-order demon beast had already given birth to an intelligence no less than that of a human being, and in the case of a great chance of victory, the beast king had signed a truce agreement with the Shi family.

Since then, the Sea of Stars has been closed, leaving only a border gate, the only way to connect to the Empire, and it is under the control of the Beastmaster.

Song Qingxiao boldly speculated:

"Senior, in your opinion, the sea of stars was closed into a small world that day, was there a reason for the help of the people of the Shi family?"

The Beastmaster was willing to make a covenant, and the Shi family must have paid some price that it could not refuse.

Su Wu understood the meaning of her words:

"Demon beast cultivation is originally based on the power of natural bloodline, not like humans, there are many methods."

Therefore, if the sea of stars is closed and becomes a small world independent of the empire, nine times out of ten it will be the handiwork of the world.

But this is not unreasonable, after all, in the battle of the Sea of Stars back then, there were too many casualties, and the two sides formed a deep grudge.

In order to prevent monsters and humans from breaking into each other's forbidden places, tearing each other apart, and causing casualties again, it is a very reasonable thing to close the sea of stars and leave only a border gate.

"Logically speaking, it does make sense." If he hadn't discovered anything strange about his spiritual power, Song Qingxiao wouldn't have been suspicious.

But the more she thought about it at this time, the more she could perceive that under this seemingly normal covenant back then, there was a turbulent undercurrent underneath.

"What if Shi Qiuwu didn't close the Sea of Stars back then, but helped the Beastmaster, treating it as a small world and refining it?"

Refining and subduing the Sea of Stars must be of great benefit to the Beastmaster, but what is this benefit?

Song Qingxiao thought for a moment, and a thought surged into his mind: "Senior, this beast king was already an eighth order back then, and now that decades have passed, is it possible to advance to the rank?" ”

"How can it be so easy for a demon beast to advance to the next level." Su Wu's tone was lazy, "Eighth-order beast king, once the promotion is successful, I'm afraid that people outside the world will not be able to sit still." ”

Once he successfully entered the ninth order, the strength of the beastmaster was equivalent to that of a strong person whose ability to press into the Holy Realm.

It is precisely because of the unique conditions of demon beasts that it is far more difficult for them to advance than humans.

The further you go in the practice, the more difficult it is to break through.

At that time, Su Wuxiu was so strong, and he was recognized by the Outer Heaven as the next top powerhouse who was most likely to break through to the Holy Realm, and as soon as the long sword came out, there were few opponents.

But who knew that he was such a person with the most hope in the outer world, but in the end he failed to break through the realm, and instead caused the disaster of death.

"The advancement of demon beasts is different from that of humans." As the race most severely punished by the power of the law, when the demon beast advances, in addition to the accumulation of a large amount of spiritual power, "At the same time, it also has to deal with the thunder tribulation, and only if you don't die can you succeed in the tribulation." ”

Human monks will only attract thunder tribulation when they break through the realm, but demon beasts will have a heavenly thunder tribulation at the beginning of the tribulation, and in the process of crossing the tribulation, thunder and lightning will split their bodies.

"You have also survived, you should know that the more powerful the power, the more terrifying the power of the thunder."

Under normal circumstances, few demon beasts can survive the thunderstorm.

Therefore, after most demon beasts become climates, they will not easily try to cross the catastrophe unless they have to.

"But monsters are different from humans." When Su Wu said this, he mentioned it again: "It is rumored that the big demon who has reached a certain level will be tolerated by heaven and earth, even if he does not rise to the next level, every thousand years, there will still be thunder tribulations." ”

It is precisely because of this that even the high-level bloodline demons have an endless lifespan compared to humans, but now, they have gradually cut off their inheritance, which is the reason.

When Song Qingxiao heard him say this, she couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth:

"Therefore, the Beastmaster needs to find the help of the outside world."

In the difficult situation of the demon beast itself, what if the so-called alliance after the First World War in the Sea of Stars was actually not a non-aggression treaty, but a signal of cooperation between the two sides?

The Eighth-Order Beast King took advantage of the help of the Shi family to subdue the Sea of Stars, refining and absorbing such a small world as a magic weapon, and incorporating it into its body.

There are countless demon beasts in the Sea of Stars, and among the rumors, there are six and seven orders, and the power of cultivating all demon beasts is of infinite help to the beast king.

If the Beastmaster's plan succeeds, then these demon beasts, even Song Qingxiao's existence, will become its spiritual power at the moment when the Sea of Stars is completely subdued by the Beastmaster, and will be sucked out by it at the critical moment.

And this move is also of great benefit to the Shi family.

"According to what the predecessors said, Shi Qiuwu is already approaching his life, and it is difficult to enter the holy realm, if the Shi family wants to keep its current status, it must need a person with the same strength as him," she said here, paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Or the demon beast is in charge, in order to keep the current status of the Shi family, or even to a higher level." ”

Both sides take what they need and hit it off.

In this way, it is not a coincidence that Song Qingxiao sensed the distribution of spiritual power before, but the beast king's intentions are sinister, like raising pigs, and when he waits for the critical moment, he will devour all the demon beast power.

"It seems that Shi Qiuwu has played a big game of chess!" When Su Wu heard this, he couldn't help but show a little bit of a good show, "In the world today, there are not many people who have entered the holy realm, and all of them are the core figures of the family. ”

Once the Beastmaster advances, the impact on them is great and the threat is deep, you can imagine it.

Don't talk about rebelling against the Divine Prison at that time, I'm afraid that within this star field, the forces of the entire world will need to be redivided!

How could the resources that the Nine Great Clans of the Outer Heaven had controlled for many years suddenly be willing to let go and give a part to a rising star like the Empire.

"Redividing the forces?" When Song Qingxiao heard this, she couldn't help but let out a question.

Su Wu explained: "There is also a division of interests between the clans. ”

The larger the clan, the more resources they control: "For example, the spars and equipment used to cast magic weapons, as well as the medicinal materials used to refine elixirs and all kinds of treasures. ”

The greater the power of the clan, the more benefits it will occupy.

"Sixty years ago, the Shi family discovered the cold jade mine that existed in the Sea of Stars, and used it to start a war, I told you."

Song Qingxiao remembered that when he got Xuanjing that day, Su Wu had indeed mentioned this matter in passing, and couldn't help nodding silently.

"In this world, the one with the most resources is the Divine Prison."

It is precisely because of the existence of the Divine Prison that the birth of the Nine Great Clans of the Outer Heaven and Heaven has formed the current pattern.

In addition to the most powerful power of the Divine Hell, the second force is the Nine Great Clans with profound heritage.

The power of the empire is the weakest, and it does not occupy many resources, although with the existence of Shi Qiuwu back then, the Shi family also rose, and even gathered the strength of the entire imperial family to cooperate with the outer heavens, but due to the failure of the plan, the cooperation finally came to an end.

And with the passage of time, Shi Qiuwu has been unable to enter the realm of sainthood for a long time, so the glory of the Shi family is just a moment of fireworks.

As Song Qingxiao said, under such circumstances, when there is no hope of entering the sainthood and the longevity is approaching, the ancestor of the Shi family may have boldly paved a back road for the future of the family at that time.

At that time, the Shi family sacrificed their bloodline and cooperated with the Outer Heaven to attract the attention of the major clans of the Outer Heaven, but in private, it was very likely that they had already found another way to reach a real cooperation agreement with the Beastmaster of the Starry Sky Sea.

In the name of fighting for the cold jade mine, the two sides fought a big battle, consumed the burden that was useless to the family, and finally signed a covenant.

"If that's the case, there's a good show to watch."

It is impossible for Outer Heaven to watch such an opponent grow up, and the Shi family's move to seek medicine can hide it from the world of Outer Heaven for a while, and it can't be hidden for a lifetime.

Once the Beastmaster and the Shi family succeed in their scheme, when the Beastmaster is promoted, it will inevitably cause changes from the sky, and I am afraid that this place will become a place of right and wrong.

Thinking of this, Su Wu's tone was serious:

"You'll have to find a way to get out of here before the Beastmaster ascends!"

There is no need for him to say more, Song Qingxiao has already had the intention of fleeing after discovering that this sea of stars is in danger.

It's a pity that this place is like a game, she is in the game, and if she wants to break out of the game, I'm afraid she still needs to find where the door to the boundary is.

And the gate of the border is guarded by the soul of the beastmaster, if according to the statement that the bell must be tied to the bell, she still needs to find the beastmaster before it is possible to force the border gate out.

The cultivation of the beast king is already the eighth order, which is far superior to his own strength, Song Qingxiao thought of this, and immediately frowned.

Originally, she thought that after ascending to the realm of distraction, she already had the power to protect herself.

Today, it seems that there is still a crisis.

"Before the demon beast advances, there will be all the preparations, even if this eighth-order beast king sometimes helps, but it will take at least a hundred and ten years." Su Wu sensed that she was in a heavy mood at this time, and said lightly:

"Even though more than 60 years have passed since the covenant that day, the fact that the Shi family has not moved proves that there is still time."

The two of them are now grasshoppers on a vine, if Song Qingxiao can't run, Su Wu will still be unable to escape death.

He still has an unfulfilled wish, so he naturally doesn't want to become a spiritual power supply in such an aggrieved way and die in the mouth of the beastmaster.

"I understand."

Song Qing nodded.

It's just that none of the two people talking at this time thought that on the day when Song Qingxiao broke the realm, the Shi family at the gate of the border had already mentioned that Shi Qiuwu was about to leave the customs in two years and would personally enter the sea of stars.

And it has been a year and a half since the time of Song Qingxiao's catastrophe.

Song Qingxiao didn't know about these, but after she was distracted at this time, she naturally wanted to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

Thinking about it carefully, in the past few years, except for the day she broke the realm, which caused the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation to appear, which caused several demon beasts above the seventh order to come to hear the wind, it seems that since she entered the sea of stars, she has never encountered a powerful demon beast above the seventh order.

Before, she just thought that she was lucky, and the place she entered through the border gate belonged to the territory of low-level demon beasts.

Now it seems that the demon beasts above the seventh order have sensed that something is wrong and are secretly hibernating.

"What are you going to do?" Su Wu asked her.

Song Qing said calmly:

"While preparing to practice, search for the whereabouts of the Beastmaster."

Her answer was beyond Su Wu's expectations, but after thinking about it, she felt that her behavior like this was really wonderful.

"If I'm not mistaken, most of the seventh-order demon beasts that disappeared in the Sea of Stars should be hiding around where the Beastmaster is at this time."

These demon beasts are afraid of the existence of the beast king, afraid and hateful of it, and should be waiting for an opportunity to fight back.

The Beastmaster not only has the intention of advancement, but also wants to completely refine a small world like the Sea of Stars and take it back for his own use.

So before it advances, I'm afraid it will focus on stability.

Even if it knows that there are powerful demon beasts around it, if it wants to advance successfully, it shouldn't easily move and trigger a siege by demon beasts.

Once there is a beast group riot, even if the beast king is strong, under the siege of the seventh-order powerful demon beasts of the Starry Sky Sea, he does not dare to guarantee that he will not be injured at all.

According to what Su Wu said, the process of ascending from the eighth order to the ninth order is itself dangerous and abnormal, once it is injured, it may cause immeasurable consequences for it, so the beast king may not dare to take risks easily.

In such a situation, it will suppress the beasts with coercion, so that the demon beasts do not dare to act rashly, waiting for the time to come.

The two sides are afraid of each other, but they will maintain a delicate balance.

Song Qingxiao was ready to blend in, and once the border gate appeared in the future, it would be much easier for her to escape.

Although Su Wu has been 'getting along' with her for many years, he thinks he knows her quite well, but after listening to her at this time, he feels that he didn't know enough about her before.

Cautious, careful, but bold, intelligent, can see the truth from the subtleties, when the action should be, but decisive and abnormal, not the slightest drag, hesitation.

Such a girl, how could he have looked away before and thought that she was not outstanding?

"What if...... It can be like you, and maybe our fate will not be the same as it is now. ”

There was a hint of melancholy in his voice, as if he remembered the past.

Song Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, Su Wu's words were not so much for her as for her to sigh, so she didn't hear some words clearly.

"Senpai?"

"I once made a bad decision." When Song Qingxiao thought that Su Wu would close himself off as before and would not answer her words again, Su Wu suddenly spoke:

"It was a bad decision that changed my life."
