Since the leader of the Demon Realm parted ways with the Demon and Demon Realms outside Jiangzhou City, he led the group of demon soldiers under his command alone to an open land more than a hundred miles outside the city of the Xuanwu Plain in the north. Just as he was about to enter this plain city to find the whereabouts of the Ancient Xuanwu Divine Beast and the Ancient Divine Soldier Cold Ice Sword, a wolf-headed demon soldier under the Demon Realm Leader Night Wind hurriedly arrived and informed the Demon Realm Leader of the Demon Realm that the Demon Realm Leader Night Wind and the Immortal Realm Leader Feitian were seriously injured in the life-and-death battle in Jiaozhi City. I saw that the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, smiled coldly and said: "Hmph, I don't think I can do anything, I dare to challenge the leader of the Immortal Realm Feitian alone, just with her little mana, it is strange not to be seriously injured." ”

"But Lord Demon Venerable, the king, she took the initiative to challenge the fairy world because she was angry about the previous incident in the Eastern Qinglong Kingdom to build Ye City, and there is indeed a reason for it!"

"Okay, I don't care what the reason for her challenging the fairy world, in short, it's not right to send troops without permission. You go back and tell your family king, let her recuperate well, and when I get this ice sword, I will naturally help her take revenge. ”

"Thank you, Demon Venerable, I'll go back and tell my family king. ”

"Go, go, go!" said the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation impatiently.

Pingyuan City is located in the north of the land of China Shenzhou, the capital of the northern Xuanwu Kingdom. This city is an ancient city with a long history, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers. The catastrophe and war two years ago left the city devastated, and the dilapidated walls and towers, the ruined avenues and houses made people sigh. After the catastrophe and war, people returned to the city one after another, built the city, repaired the damaged avenues and houses, and after some careful management, the plain city finally returned to its former prosperity and strength.

About ten miles to the north of Pingyuan City, there is a large mountain that is undulating and hundreds of zhang high. The mountain is covered with snow all year round, and it is extremely cold, and the air turns into frost and drips into ice. At the foot of the mountain, it is a white expanse, even the grass and trees next to it are also covered in silver, the scenery is very icy and beautiful, there is a unique artistic conception, it is indeed breathtaking. There have been many people who have stopped here for a long time when they have passed here, and some people have been fascinated by it and have forgotten to return. Because of the year-round snow armor of the mountain, it was given a poetic name by the local people, Daisetsuzan Mountain.

Under the big snow mountain, there is a big pond with a length of more than 200 zhang and a width of more than 100 zhang, because its shape is like a turtle, and the body shape of the ancient mythical beast Xuanwu is very similar, so it is called Xuanwu Pond by the local people. Xuanwu Pond, not frozen all year round, its pool water is as black as ink, very toxic, several times stronger than the toxicity of the Qinglong Pond water in the Oriental Qinglong Kingdom to build Yecheng. If a mortal accidentally falls into the Xuanwu Pool, his corpse will be reduced to nothing in an instant, and even his hands and feet will be corroded in a moment if they are contaminated with the water of the Xuanwu Pool, which is very terrifying. Despite this, there are still many people who frequent the area. Because here every cold winter wax moon season, a kind of inky black, turtle-shaped lumpy herbs will grow on the snow around the Xuanwu Pond, and the local people call it "Xuanwu Shengzhi". After picking the basalt mushroom, the local people will use a knife to cut it into small pieces when they return home, and then put it in the wine jar to soak the wine, and after soaking for a year and a half, the toxicity will become quite weak, and the wine will also turn pale black. If you drink the wine brewed with Xuanwu Shengzhi at this time, it will greatly enhance your defense ability. For this reason, this wine brewed with Xuanwu Shengzhi is also called Xuanwu Shengjiu. Although it has the effect of strengthening its own defenses, it has a slightly salty taste and does not seem to be very easy to eat.

The leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, led the group of demon soldiers under him to an open field more than a hundred miles away from Plains City.

"Great King, this is the boundary of the capital of the Northern Xuanwu Kingdom. The captain of the wolf-headed demon soldier under the leader of the Demon Realm said.

"Well, I know. ”

"But within a radius of more than a hundred miles of this plain city, the spiritual power of the ancient Xuanwu Divine Beast is covered, and its power is extremely strong, we can't attack it at all!" The captain of the wolf-headed demon soldier asked worriedly, and after hearing this, the leader of the demon realm, his eyes glanced at him, and then said slowly: "Then why can the gods and immortals enter the two worlds? After hearing this, the captain of the wolf-headed demon soldier lowered his head and was silent, at this moment, three middle-aged men in front of him galloped in the north direction.

"Look, why can those three people on horseback enter?" asked the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, in a tone of revelation, and the captain of the wolf-headed demon soldier scratched his head sharply after hearing this, and said as if he suddenly realized: "King, do you mean that we can enter if we become mortals?"

"Doesn't look stupid!"

"But, it's ....... ”

"But what? Are you worried that when you become mortal, your mana will disappear with it?"

"Yes. The captain of the wolf-headed demon replied in a low voice.

"You can rest assured, becoming mortals is only a temporary loss of mana, and when you return here and recover your true nature, this mana will naturally be restored with it. Now, all of them will be mortals for me, and follow me in!" The leader of the Demon Realm gave an order, and the demon soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to obey the order.

The leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, and the group of demon soldiers under him turned into mortals and hurried towards Plains City. In less than an hour, the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, and the group of demon soldiers under him arrived at the southern gate of Plains City. There are more than 200 guards at the gate of the south gate of this plain city, all wearing black armor, and there is a black Xuanwu statue on the helmet, holding a long-handled two-edged axe, majestic. On the castle tower, there were about a hundred archers, densely lined up in several rows, ready to shoot the enemy who came to sneak attack. When ordinary people see this, they can't help but secretly sweat in their hearts.

"What people, why did you come to my Xuanwu Kingdom?" shouted the captain of the guards guarding the city.

"Oh, we are ordinary people from Xiliang, and we want to buy something to eat when we go to the city this time. The leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, touched his stomach and said.

"Show me your right arm!" When the Demon Realm leader heard the words of the captain of the soldiers guarding the city, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and turned his head to look at the group of demon soldiers behind him, signaling that they were just like him. The captain of the guards guarding the city glanced at it, and then said, "You can only go in alone." ”

"Why can you only go in alone?" asked the Demon Realm Leader in confusion.

"Because your right arm is not engraved with any pattern, how does this prove that you are from Xiliang?"

"Are you looking for a fight?" The wolf-headed demon soldier clenched his fists and rushed forward to punch the captain of the soldiers guarding the city, but was stopped by the demon world leader Annihilation stretched out his hand.

"Okay, I'll go in alone. After the Demon Realm Leader finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and said a few words to the group of demon soldiers under him: "No one is allowed to act rashly without my order! With that, the Demon Realm Leader Flicked His sleeves and walked into the Plains City of the Northern Xuanwu Kingdom.

The Demon Realm Leader Extinction entered this plain city, and the first thing that caught his eye was a straight blue brick avenue. On both sides of the avenue, there are still taverns, snack bars, teahouses, etc. Walking about 50 zhang forward, this is the market of Pingyuan City. There are many merchants from all over the country, and there are all kinds of hawkers on the stalls, including farmers selling vegetables, livestock farmers selling poultry, and scholars selling calligraphy and paintings. The Demon Realm Leader Annihilation walked nonchalantly on the avenue, because he wasn't interested in all this. As he walked, he came to a shop that sold weapons and armor. I saw a big man with a big body in his upper body at the door of the store, holding a big hammer in both hands, and kept beating the big knife that was burned red by the fire, making a "bang" sound. In the middle of spring, the weather in the north is still very cold, but this big man with a big body is sweating profusely. The leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, glanced at the big man, turned around and walked into the shop that sold weapons and armor. As soon as the shopkeeper saw a customer coming in, he greeted him warmly.

"Hello officer, what kind of weapons or armor do you want?" After hearing the words of the shopkeeper, the leader of the Demon Realm, Extinction, immediately glanced at all the weapons and armor in the shop, and found that they were all weapons such as swords, spears, and broadswords, as well as some daily armor.

"Is there a dagger-sized knife?" said the Demon Realm Leader to destroy the world.

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"One is enough! However, the knife must be sharp, otherwise I won't buy it. ”

"Don't worry!Absolutely sharp!No money!," said the shopkeeper with a smile, turning and walking into the small warehouse behind him. In the blink of an eye, he took out a gray knife from it and handed it to the Demon Realm Leader to destroy the world. He took the knife that the shopkeeper had handed him, looked at it intently, and kept stroking and flipping it with his hands. The shopkeeper seemed to read his thoughts, and took out a rusty iron chain and straightened it in front of him. The leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, took a knife and slashed hard at the chain, and with a "click", the chain was split in two. "Sure enough, it's a good knife!" the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation couldn't help but praise.

"Boss, how do you sell this knife?"

"Fifty taels. The armory shop owner said with a hand outstretched.

"There's a small ingot of gold here, it's enough for fifty taels, right?" The leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation, took out a small ingot of pea-sized gold from his arms, and the owner of the armory shop was very happy when he saw that this small ingot of gold was worth hundreds of taels, and he smiled and said, "Enough is enough!" Seeing the expression of the owner of the armory shop, the leader of the Demon Realm, Annihilation was very happy, so he took this opportunity to ask him about the whereabouts of the divine beast and the divine sword. When the owner of the armory shop saw the money, he told everything he knew to the leader of the Demon Realm. It turned out that there was a temple of divine beasts in the plain city, and there was a clay statue of the ancient divine beast Xuanwu in the temple. It's a pity that today is the second day of the new year, so I can't enter this Xuanwu Temple. But the Demon Realm Leader Annihilation didn't care about this, because he knew that the hiding place of this Xuanwu Divine Beast was in the Xuanwu Pool and the Xuanwu Tower. Less than two miles to the south of the Xuanwu Pond, there is a black pagoda more than ten zhang high, and there is a statue of the Xuanwu Divine Beast carved with a boulder under the pagoda.
