"Now the world is getting more and more withered, Lao Tzu has traveled to many places over the years, but now only the Yuding Dynasty is still showing a thriving atmosphere......"

In a quaint and tidy inn.

In the lobby, there are guests sitting in twos and threes.

Located in the corner near the window.

A slender and handsome young man took a thick bowl full of wine and drank it all, and then looked out the window at the bustling streetscape.

"Brother Dou's words are wrong, the Yuding Dynasty seems to be full of flowers on the surface, but in fact, it has been boiling oil on fire, and the dark tide is surging......"

Sitting opposite the young man was a handsome boy with a majestic face and an elegant temperament.

He held the folding fan and slapped it in the palm of his hand.

His gaze glanced at the guests in the lobby seemingly casually.

"One hundred and thirty years ago, although the Jade Ding Dynasty and many sects suffered heavy losses in the battle of Chihai, but they also suffered heavy losses, you and I both know that the demons are immortal and the heart of our human race is not dead, over the years, the demons who have recovered a little vitality have been secretly planning the next attack, and the victory or defeat is still unknown......

"Did you get any message?"

The heroic young man named Brother Dou retracted his gaze and looked solemnly at the elegant son in front of him.

"Look at this and you'll know. ”

The elegant boy took out a jade pendant from his arms and pressed it on the table and slid towards the other party.

"This ......"

Brother Dou took the jade pendant that the elegant son slid on, and immersed his mind in it.

Moment.

His face grew more and more serious.

After putting down the jade pendant and throwing it back to the other party.

Brother Dou couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

"I didn't expect that Lao Tzu had only left the Yuding Dynasty for a hundred years, but so many things had happened in the past hundred years. ”

"So come back this time, Brother Dou won't go again, the Yuding Dynasty needs you. ”

The elegant son put away the jade pendant returned by Brother Dou, and said with a solemn face.

"Since I know that the Jade Ding Dynasty is in danger now, it is naturally impossible for me to leave. ”

Brother Dou said lightly.

"But Lao Tzu has always liked to be alone and unrestrained, you know this. ”

"I know, so let's be the same as we were a hundred and thirty years ago. ”

The elegant boy bowed his head lightly.

"Hahahaha......"

Brother Dou couldn't help laughing heartily when he heard this.

"Xia Mingyuan, you really haven't changed, but I feel a little that the world is impermanent, one hundred and thirty years ago, we were all small people who were soft-spoken, but one hundred and thirty years later, you are already the head of the Demon Division of the Yuding Dynasty. ”

"It's just the head of the demon division of the town, I'm afraid I can't get into the eyes of Brother Dou. ”

The elegant boy sighed lightly.

"On the contrary, Brother Dou has always been unknown all these years, which surprised and surprised me. ”

"I'm different from you, you know I'm a casual person, and I don't care about reputation or anything......"

Brother Dou waved his hand.

"But as far as I know, if Brother Dou secretly made a move over the years, I'm afraid that many dynasties and sects will be destroyed by the hands of demons......

The elegant prince glanced at Brother Dou deeply.

"It seems that you have been paying attention to me all these years. ”

Brother Dou raised his eyebrows, and said disapprovingly.

"I just keep missing continuing to fight side by side with Brother Dou. ”

The elegant son said lightly.

"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that you are a guy who cares about the world, otherwise I really don't like to deal with you at all......"

Brother Dou shrugged his shoulders and said.

"You have too many eyes, which is very detrimental to your future cultivation, if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be able to stop at the Yuan Infant Realm now. ”

"But I've never regretted the path I chose. ”

The elegant son was unmoved.

"Anyway, why did you choose to meet me at such an inn?

Brother Dou seemed unwilling to continue to speak deeply, so he simply diverted the topic.

said.

His gaze also casually glanced at a line of writing written on the wall of the inn's lobby.

Our store has a small business, and we have to go out to fight.

And the name of this inn is called Youma Inn.

In Brother Dou's opinion.

In addition to these two points, this inn is only a little cleaner and tidier than ordinary inns.

Otherwise, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Whether it is the shopkeeper of the inn or the guy, he is just an ordinary person who is a little bit of a cultivator.

I really have to meet unreasonable practitioners.

Even if they wanted to, they couldn't stop it.

"This inn is ordinary, but it's not ordinary. ”

The elegant boy gently rubbed the edge of the teacup.

"What do you mean?"

Brother Dou said with interest.

"Brother Dou can know that there is basically this inn in the main cities in the territory of the Yuding Dynasty, not only that, but even other dynasties also have this inn......

The elegant boy picked up the coarse tea that was still warm and took a sip.

"But so far, no one knows who the owner behind this inn is. ”

"Listen to you, this inn is really weird. ”

Brother Dou shrugged his shoulders and said.

"There's a lot more to the oddities of this inn, so I won't go into them for now, and while I don't know exactly what forces are behind the owner of this inn, one thing I'm sure of is that it has nothing to do with demons. ”

The elegant boy said slowly.

"I see, otherwise according to your style, this inn would have been eradicated long ago. ”

Brother Dou nodded.

"So, this time, do you want me to help you investigate who or what forces belong to this inn?"

"This is put aside in advance, and it is still a matter of Donghai County at the moment. ”

The elegant boy shook his head.

"Regarding the investigation of this inn, I will order someone to sort it out and bring it to you when the time comes, if you have time, you might as well continue to investigate in depth......"

"No problem, if there is nothing else, Lao Tzu will go first, and Lao Tzu will not be comfortable at all in this imperial city. ”

said.

Brother Dou stood up and said with a big grin.

"Brother Dou go slowly!

The elegant son also got up and solemnly bowed his hand.

"Alright, okay, so be it. ”

After speaking.

Brother Dou's figure suddenly disappeared in front of the elegant son.

The elegant boy casually put down a piece of broken silver on the table.

He walked out of the door of the inn.

"Slow down, welcome next time!"

Seeing this, the guy at the inn hurriedly sent a sentence, and then went to the corner of the window to clean up, and at the same time couldn't help muttering a sentence in his mouth.

"What a weirdo ......"

Yes.

All the way.

Whether in the eyes of the shopkeeper or other guests.

The elegant son's performance is very strange.

Because he was sitting alone in the corner of the window, but there was another pair of chopsticks on the opposite side of the table, and he would even frequently serve tea to the empty opposite side, and his mouth seemed to be talking to himself.

No matter how you look at it, I feel that my brain is not normal.

But.

This is the Imperial City.

There are all kinds of weirdos.

For those who have lived and worked in the inn for more than ten years, it is no longer unusual.

"Ming Yuan, what is the result?"

The elegant son left the inn not long ago.

He appeared in a spacious, bright and golden study.

At the desk.

A middle-aged man who was full of majesty and nobility was buried in the case, constantly reviewing stacks of recitals in his hands, and after noticing the appearance of the elegant son, he said without raising his head.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Dou Yao agreed. ”

Xia Mingyuan respectfully said to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Hmm. ”

The middle-aged man replied lightly.

Next, he didn't continue to pay attention to Xia Mingyuan, but was still concentrating on reviewing the recitals that were as high as a mountain.

Xia Mingyuan also did not leave.

Just quietly waiting.

Time.

The only sound in the entire study was the rustling of pens.

"Ming Yuan, is this Dou Yao really as strange as you say?"

Long.

When the last piece of music is reviewed. Everyone

The middle-aged man finally raised his head, he picked up the tea that had been cold on the table and took a sip without care, and at the same time, his eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon fell on Xia Mingyuan's body in front of him.

"Yes. ”

Xia Mingyuan arched his hand and said in a deep voice.

"After all, Chen and Dou Yao fought side by side back then, so no one in this world knows Dou Yao's ability better than Chen, but unfortunately he is dedicated to pursuing his own way, if it weren't for the invasion of demons, I'm afraid he wouldn't have set foot in this world......"

“...... What about the details of his sect? You haven't investigated it yet?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment.

"Nope. ”

Xia Mingyuan sighed lightly.

"His origins are too mysterious, so the minister suspects that he may well be from another continent. ”

“...... Either way, as long as he is willing to stay and help us. ”

The middle-aged man said no more.

Meanwhile.

After saying goodbye to Xia Mingyuan.

Dou Yao didn't go straight to Donghai County for the first time.

According to the jade pendant that Xia Mingyuan handed him.

Some time ago.

Tokai County is suspected of having a demon's whereabouts.

The local Demon Suppression Division immediately sent out to investigate.

Outcome.

All the people sent by the Demon Suppression Division to investigate have not been heard from.

When Xia Mingyuan learned of this, he immediately sent his right-hand man and an elite army to Donghai County.

The people sent out by Xia Mingyuan also had no news.

This has not aroused Xia Mingyuan's attention.

If Dou Yao hadn't come to the Yuding Dynasty.

Xia Mingyuan was ready to join other sects to personally go to Donghai County to investigate.

Now that Dou Yao is here.

He was relieved to hand over this matter to Dou Yao.

Dou Yao was not Xia Mingyuan's subordinate.

If it weren't for the fact that this matter has something to do with demons.

Maybe he didn't bother to pay attention to Xia Mingyuan.

True.

Xia Mingyuan is indeed a genius in the eyes of the world.

The Battle of the Red Sea 130 years ago.

Xia Mingyuan is also a small guard of the Demon Suppression Division.

Cultivation is only about building a foundation.

Clinker is less than 100 years old.

He stepped into the Yuan Infant Realm in one fell swoop.

Such a terrifying cultivation speed was simply unbelievable.

To some extent, it can be compared to Xia Fan.

Time.

The Yuding Dynasty is circulating.

Xia Mingyuan was most likely the reincarnation of some powerful person.

What's even more terrifying is Xia Mingyuan's heart and methods.

From a small guard to a big boss of the Demon Division.

If he didn't have enough wisdom and means, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position at all.

You must know that the former Demon Division's Great Division is in the realm of transforming gods.

And how can Xia Mingyuan's Yuan Infant Realm sit in this important position above 10,000 people under one person in the Jade Ding Dynasty?

Could it be that he could be reincarnated in great power?

Dou Yao never cared about whether Xia Mingyuan was reincarnated or not.

For him as a person.

Dou Yao's view is simple.

A person who cares about the common people but the city is too deep.

Such people can cooperate, but they cannot be friends.

It's nothing more than that Dou Yao doesn't like this kind of person.

At the beginning, he couldn't stand these messy things in the master's sect, so he simply left.

No way.

It really affects my cultivation too much.

About 10 days.

Dou Yao traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, eating and drinking, and arrived in Donghai County.

He already knew all kinds of information about the demons of Tokai County.

So after stepping into Tokai County.

He went straight to the Wuheng Mountains in Donghai County.

Because the traces of demons were found in the vast Wuheng Mountains.

"Strange, why don't you have a demonic spirit?"

Come to the Wuheng Mountains.

Dou Yao directly used the Qi Lookout technique to search for the Wuheng Mountain Range.

The results searched for a circle.

He didn't even notice the demon's breath.

"No, there's something else left here. ”

Dou Yao knew.

Xia Mingyuan is a person who never jokes.

In other words.

Xia Mingyuan won't play with himself.

What's more, there is no demonic spirit.

It doesn't mean that there are really no demons in the Wuheng Mountains.

After all, some demons are extremely good at hiding their demonic energy, and it is normal that they cannot be observed.

Here's the problem.

Dou Yao is a great monk who has transformed into a divine realm.

The strength of the demons that can be observed by concealing their own qi magic can be imagined.

on this.

Dou Yao couldn't help but become cautious.

After continuing the careful search.

He finally made a discovery.

Deep in the mountains.

He found a place where there was a suspected heavy battle.

And there are still broken magic weapon fragments and so on on the ground.

But there were no bodies around.

I don't know if the demon was eaten directly.

It's okay if you can't find anyone.

All it takes is enough to have these clues.

Because he's good at a tracking spell.

Anything that had been contaminated with the breath of the original owner fell into his hands, and he had a way to track down the original owner according to the breath of these things.

Through the fragments of the magic weapon left on the ground.

After performing their own tracking.

It didn't take long.

Dou Yao made a new discovery.

"No wonder! It turns out that there is a cave in the mountains!"

Search your way along the breath of tracking.

On a steep and precipitous cliff.

Dou Yao couldn't help but touch his chin and looked at the unfathomable cliff under his feet.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He jumped straight down.

When his body fell halfway.

His whole body suddenly disappeared.

"Wow, this space is not simple......"

Accompanied by a light in the eyes.

It is in a beautifully landscaped garden.

Dou Yao couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Meantime.

His attention was on the depths of the garden.

Because.

He had already sensed a demonic aura.

The most important thing is that this aura even makes him feel threatened.

"Could it be that this is the hiding place that the demon has carved out?"

With such thoughts.

Without hesitation, Dou Yao stepped into the depths of the garden.
