Chapter Seventy-Six: The Old Demon of Black Mountain
"Demonic energy?" Sheng Mao was very surprised, "Teacher, didn't the legendary demon clan be driven out of the Five Domains as early as after Emperor Ji Dingding Shenzhou, how could they appear here, and ......?"
"Shearwater is not a pure human, but half-human, half-demon. Xie Chengjiang looked at him coldly, "This point, when I saw her in the past, I had already seen it, and now it seems that her mother's is indeed a demon clan." ”
Xie Chengjiang walked into the lonely castle, looked at it carefully, and said: "This fort has a layer of enchantment, and the place where it is established is the place where Shenzhou and the foreign affairs of the domain are connected, which is very strange. ”
"Then why did they steal the Ji Huang Twin Swords?" Sheng Mao's face was full of doubts, "The Ji Huang Double Sword is a humane holy relic, and it is of no use to the demon clan at all. ”
"I don't know, but I can imagine that the demon clan can't hold back their ambitions and is about to move......" Xie Chengjiang raised his head, his eyes were full of solemnity, and he sighed in his heart.
"The ontology is really right, this era will be the darkest and most terrifying era in history, wave after wave, the situation in the five domains of Shenzhou is already very complicated, and now the demon clan outside the domain will also come to participate, I don't know when this catastrophe will end. ”
Sighing in his heart, Xie Chengjiang pointed to the north after searching for a while: "I can feel that their breath is in that direction, it seems that they have chosen to leave the Five Domains and return to the demon clan." ”
Sheng Mao said: "Then what should we do now, go after them and recapture the twin swords?"
He also understood that the Demon Clan's capture of the Ji Emperor's Twin Swords was definitely of great use, and he couldn't let them succeed!
Xie Chengjiang nodded: "I am afraid that the Ji Emperor Twin Swords have fallen into the hands of the high-level of the Demon Clan at this moment, and it is not easy to recapture it, but we still need to go outside the territory, at least inquire about the information about the Demon Clan, and prepare for possible wars in the future." ”
Sheng Mao said "um".
Leaving the lonely castle, Xie Chengjiang and the two walked along the snow and quickly headed north, all the way were deserted, and they were already far away from the land of Shenzhou and entered the territory.
Compared with the Five Regions of Shenzhou, the biggest impression of the land outside the territory is that it is "barren" and "desolate", and the vast land cannot find the slightest vitality, only boundless dead silence.
The icy cold wind cut through the land like a sharp blade, cutting off all signs of life, and the white and quiet world made people's hearts tremble.
"Is this the kind of environment that the demon clan lives in?" Sheng Mao's tone was a little solemn.
Xie Chengjiang said: "What we are in now is still the place where the territory and the Shenzhou are at the junction, far from going deep into the territory, as far as I know, the land outside the territory is vast and endless, and the territory is far beyond the five regions, and the demon clan is not the only life among them." ”
"In addition to the demon clan, there are still legendary barbarians, Mao clans and even demon clans, mysterious and unpredictable sun clans, strange and ancient gods and demons relics, etc., but their scale is far less than that of the demon clan. ”
"There are so many alien races outside the domain, why have they never had any intersection with the Five Domains of Shenzhou for so many years?" Sheng Mao was a little strange.
Xie Chengjiang said: "I don't know this, but as far as I know, this situation was formed after Emperor Ji Dingding Shenzhou, and before that, the human race and many foreign races often had conflicts and wars. However, the strength of the human race is the strongest among the many races, there are many strong people, and the masters are endless, and it is difficult for other races to match, so they are gradually weakening.
In the era of Emperor Ji, Emperor Ji relied on his own strong force, as well as his eight divine generals, and many strong people of the human race, to defeat the alien alliance in one fell swoop, so that they all bowed down and withdrew from Shenzhou, and then there was a matter of dividing the five domains. ”
"Well, at the beginning, many interracial alliances were defeated by the Ji Emperor's army, but now there are teachers in Shenzhou, and there are many masters, even if the demon clan invades, it is not a big deal. Sheng Mao said.
Xie Chengjiang shook his head: "The Five Domains of Shenzhou gather most of the essence of this Xuanhuang World, the human race has always produced many masters, which of these characters is not the ancient and the modern, invincible in an era, but there is no shortage of characters in Shenzhou who are close to or comparable to them."
The former Yuan Bodhi of Dajue Temple, the three-day master of the Daomen, Li Ting Huangkui, Hao Wuji and others are examples, and there are many hidden powerhouses, such as Jingwei Pavilion, there is no shortage of strong people in the Winning Championship, and the previous Seven Emperors of Martial Arts are also extraordinary masters.
With such strength, if we are willing to unite as one, which alien race can compete with it? It's a pity that man is the animal that is best at infighting, and most of his strength is consumed in infighting. ”
Sheng Mao was silent for a while, and said: "Teacher, you still missed yourself, you are the strongest pillar of the Five Domains of Shenzhou, even if Emperor Ji is reincarnated, it is not as good as you, as long as you are here, the sky will not fall." ”
"Heaven?" Xie Chengjiang suddenly raised his head and looked at the other side of the sky, as if he saw the figure standing high on the top of Yujing Mountain, overlooking the life and death of the world, and the undulating red dust.
After being silent for a while, Xie Chengjiang suddenly said: "Have you noticed, it seems that there are gradually people here." ”
Sheng Mao's face froze, and he said in surprise: "That's true, I saw a caravan just now, and now there is another one." ”
"Go check it out. Xie Chengjiang said.
The two of them soon came to a caravan coming from afar, which numbered more than seventy people, with more than a dozen wagons, and did not know what goods were carrying.
Seeing the two of them, a middle-aged man in a cotton jacket in the caravan immediately walked out and asked, "The two of you are cultivators who are going to pay homage to Tianxia, it just so happens that our caravan is also going to the Red Emperor City, let's go together." ”
This person's name is Jin Fuhai, he is a person from the north, he has been running a caravan for 20 years, he has no other skills, but his eyesight is excellent, Xie Chengjiang and the two of them came to the convoy from afar with a "whoosh", but the ice and snow are thin, not affected by the cold at all, and he is obviously not an ordinary person, he sees this, so his attitude is very enthusiastic.
After getting acquainted with him, Xie Chengjiang asked, "Red Emperor City, Tianxia, but the legendary Tianxia Gu Bantian?"
"Who else but his old man?" Jin Fuhai showed a look of reverence, "Although this land outside the domain is barren, there are many specialties that the Five Domains do not have, and it is a huge business opportunity.
But in the past, if you want to come here to do business, you must risk encountering the demon clan, those big demons are fierce and evil, but they will all eat people, until Tianxia came here to establish the Red Emperor City, and suppressed many big demons with his own strength, and our business is safe, all thanks to his old man!"
"I see. Xie Chengjiang nodded, he had also heard a little about this peerless chivalry sect known as the first in benevolence and righteousness in the past ten thousand years.
It is said that many years ago, this person walked the world with a master of Confucianism, practiced chivalry and righteousness, punished adultery and eliminated evil, and broke into a great prestige, and was respected as "Heavenly Hero" and "Earth Confucian" respectively.
Later, I don't know what the reason is, the Confucianism disappeared, and Tianxia has since settled in the north, rarely appearing in the Five Domains again, but I don't want to suppress the demon clan here to ensure peace.
Tao Daoming once had a friendship with one of his disciples, called the Qingying Sword, the fish and the dragon, according to him, this Tianxia is indeed a righteous person, not a person who sells fame and reputation. ”
Xie Chengjiang thought in his heart, and said to Sheng Mao: "Let's go to Red Emperor City, and meet this Tianxia for a while, he has dealt with the demon clan here for many years, and I think he will know a lot of things that have been demon clans." ”
"Hmm. Sheng Mao nodded.
The two of them followed the caravan to the Red Emperor City.
A day later, they finally saw a giant red city standing in the sky, it was hundreds of zhang high, dozens of miles long, like an emperor, standing proudly in the snow-white sky.
"This is the Red Emperor City. Xie Chengjiang looked at this giant city, only to feel a majestic and heavy momentum rushing towards him.
Jin Fuhai said excitedly: "Red Emperor City is the only safe place for our human race in the extraterritorial land, and it is also the center of various trade exchanges, and the prosperity inside will definitely not be inferior to Yujing, but it is a pity that people in the world only know Yujing, but not here." ”
"Chief, let's go to the city and talk about it. A guy reminded.
Jin Fuhai nodded.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge pressure enveloped a radius of hundreds of miles, causing the earth to rumble and the sky darkened.
"What's going on?" exclaimed the man in the caravan.
Xie Chengjiang raised his head and stared at the sky: "Very strong demonic aura, it seems that a big demon has been dispatched." ”
"What, a big demon is attacking?" In the middle of the caravan, a man and a woman with swords walked out, looking at the sky in horror.
The two of them are named Zhou Bu and Wang Yiyan, and they are disciples of a small sect in the north, and they were invited to accompany the caravan this time, in fact, they were bodyguards, and they came to the Red Emperor City to pay homage to the legendary Tianxia.
At the beginning, the two of them were still very nervous, for fear that something would happen on the road, and it was not until the last few days that they relaxed, thinking that nothing would happen, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing at the gate of the Red Emperor City.
"Quick, let's enter the city quickly, the big demons are coming, accompanied by the demon tide, there will be thousands of little demons with them, only the walls of the Red Emperor City can stop them!" Jin Fuhai shouted.
Xie Chengjiang shook his head: "It's too late, we can only choose to fight!"
"Do you know how terrifying the demon clan is?" Wang Yiyan shouted, her face full of horror, only to see that above the distant sky, thousands of strange demon shadows roared over, and earth-shattering demonic aura swept the entire heaven and earth.
"What a terrible demon clan!" Sheng Mao's scalp was a little numb.
As the demonic aura spread, a huge skull floated out, and a shocking demon shadow stood in the sky, making an icy sound.
"Excuse me, you can't think of it for a long time, my old demon of Black Mountain is back again, today this seat wants to make your Red Emperor City history!"
