Gengoro, who rushed to Japan, met his long-lost old man in Kunlun Mountain. Although Gengoro never thought that he would encounter accidents so easily, he was also worried about his unknown life and death, and he didn't know where he was after the battle with Zhou Gongjin.

Rushed to Kunlun Mountain and met Haijiaxuan and Mei Lin, which was a happy event for Gengoro, but he was not overjoyed by this, on the contrary, he deliberately put away his joy and put on a very unhappy expression, which was the same for the other party.

"Put away the tea. To deal with this kind of uninvited guest, just give him a glass of muddy water, he doesn't deserve such a good thing!"

"Wow, is this ungrateful, or is it crossing the river and tearing down the bridge? I hid for a while, and I didn't even recognize my old friends. ”

Gengoro nodded and said, "However, I'm not inconsiderate, you're like this now, it's too luxurious to drink tea, so it's better to dig up some mud, pick a few leaves, and come back and pretend to be a bar." ”

Judging purely from the outside, Gengoro and Kaijiaxuan, who were sitting and talking, were really a little weird. Gengoro's beautiful appearance was the same as usual, his long hair like black satin was combed behind his head, his hands were white and delicate, and his posture was noble and elegant like a noble, but opposite him, his appearance was immature, and he became a seven-year-old child's Hai Jiaxuan, with ear-length white hair shining, a childish and lovely face, but with a calm and calm look, forming another strange handsomeness.

It seems that they are all the darlings of the gods, and their handsome appearances steal the focus of people's attention, but sitting face to face and talking on an equal footing looks like a strange scene.

"I'm going to chop your dog's head right now!"

"Are you tall enough? Would you like to give you a stool?"

Not only verbally mocking, Gengoro also deliberately stood up, laughing wildly to highlight the height gap between the two, and once again stabbed his friend where he cared the most.

Being able to survive the near death of a big war and reunite with friends is in a good mood, but neither of them is the kind of person who will meet and hug and cry, so it is natural to express it in this way, making Mei Lin who was sitting on the side smile.

The battle with Gongjin that day caused Hai Jiaxuan to be seriously injured, if it wasn't for Mei Lin's timely arrival and emergency rescue, Hai Jiaxuan would have died at that time. However, whether Gong Jin, who already had the power of Zhaitian at that time, sensed Mei Lin's approaching and deliberately waited until the last moment to kill him, leaving Haijiaxuan a chance to survive was something that everyone could not answer.

Affected by the injury, Hai Jiaxuan's body disintegrated at a high speed, and although Mei Lin could suppress the speed of disintegration, she could not cure the injury caused by the power of the Zhai Heavenly Position. Fortunately, she still had the strength to suppress the injury for a long time, and rushed to Liberty City at full speed before it erupted, to find someone who could help.

Xiaocao, who is in the territory of the Free City and is trying his best to dissipate the vitality of heaven and earth, has a short time to move due to the launch of the Heavenly Cannon. She couldn't leave the magic circle, but she used the technique of incarnation outside her body, and used Queen Reyns's innate holy power in the short time that Merlin came within a hundred feet of the magic circle.

Only with the help of Xiaocao's holy power, Mei Lin was able to lift the seal in a short time, use the powerful power that belonged to the demon royal family, the power she should really have, to lift the lock of the vitality of all things in Haijiaxuan, and then with the help of Xiaocao's holy power, Haijiaxuan was healed. It's just that although the injuries are healed, Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin have wasted too much vitality, causing their appearance to change, and before their vitality recovers, they can only appear in the image of this little boy and little girl for the time being.

Merlin's strength is very strong, and Gengoro has known this for a long time. As early as the Kyushu War, before Temujin was born, Mei Lin was the woman with the most martial arts talent and potential among the demons, and was very likely to become the first master of the demons. If it weren't for the fact that the Great Demon God King Xuan Ye was jealous, fearing that her power would be used by humans and harm the demons in turn, so he imposed a curse on her power, and Mei Lin's power would be far more than that today.

However, Gengoro didn't say anything like "If your strength hadn't been sealed, maybe you would have entered the Taitian position earlier than Yinzhen", because seeing Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin sitting side by side, occasionally smiling and nodding at each other, he was happy for these two people from the bottom of his heart, and didn't want to say anything embarrassing to everyone.

"I didn't expect that Yinzhen had been hiding in Zhongdu for so long, and I didn't find out at all in vain when I was next to him for many years. ”

"You can't blame you for that. Yinzhen's power is above us, if he deliberately hides his identity, we can't detect it, let alone a hundred decades, even if it is a thousand or hundreds of years, it will not be discovered. ”

Gengoro comforted his friend's sigh and told the whole story of his battle with Yinzhen. During the period when Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin were healing, they knew that their strength had not yet recovered and they were no match for others, so when everyone was fighting in Zhongdu, they did not rush to help, but secretly paid attention to all kinds of information and knew most of what happened.

"It's really wrong to blame Gongjin's child...... If he had spoken out about the problem, the matter would not have ended in such a way, allowing the demon fisherman to benefit. ”

"Zhou Gongjin is such a personality, his self-esteem and personality, he will solve anything alone, he will not implicate others, and he will not tell anyone, he would rather you blame him than you forgive him. ”

"Well, he's been like this since he was a child, and he's stuffy by himself if there's any problem...... It is said that our disciples have no way, not only sacrificed Gong Jin, but also created traitors like Hülegü. ”

Hai Jiaxuan said hatefully, although he has some flaws in his personality, he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, thinking that Yinzhen's father and son have concealed themselves and put Hülegü under the door, a kind of anger of being fooled made him extremely unhappy, and he is determined to clean up the portal, if it weren't for his own strength, he would have found Hülegü and cleaned up the portal.

Willing to take responsibility, of course, this is a good thing, but Gengoro has reservations about Haijiaxuan's anger, because in his eyes, although Hülegü is a terrible and powerful enemy, it is also a potential possibility, if it is possible for humans and demons to shake hands, then Hülegü is undoubtedly that bridge. Unless it's a last resort, don't let this possibility be shattered easily, this is the consensus reached between Gengoro and Kokusa.

"It's really envious of Huang Taiji, although the disciples he accepted were a little stupid, but his martial arts were very good, and he didn't make mistakes, or Xinan, his luck in accepting disciples was not bad, at least he didn't have to be like me, cleaning the portal all day long, clearing one after another...... I'm not a garbage removal!"

"The first time I went to your White Deer Dog Cave, I said that you were like a garbage den, and you said that the feng shui here is unparalleled in the world, and the people are outstanding, but what is the result? ”

"You, you bastard, are you here to cut my face?"

"Of course, otherwise do you want to cry and cry, and let me comfort you like a mother-in-law?"

Gengoro's counterattack with a smile made Hai Jiaxuan speechless, he is a rather old-fashioned man, and he doesn't like to cry, if there is really something that makes him feel the urge to cry recently, it is the death of two disciples in a row.

Li Yu and Yinzhen faced off, so he died on the battlefield, Hai Jiaxuan did not rejoice about it, saying something like "My education is very successful, he really fought against the demons for mankind, and did a good job", but thought that he was the head of the human teacher, and silently prayed for the deceased, and felt guilty again and again in his heart.

Li Yu, who died in battle, died extremely violently, although Hai Jiaxuan felt glorious for him, but he didn't feel that it was a happy event at all. There is no distinction between sacred and despicable in war, it is just a simple cause of casualties, but when this thing that no one likes happens, someone must always stand up to face and solve it, and compared to weak civilians, the stronger the martial arts of martial artists, the greater the responsibility, Li Yu, as a member of the White Deer Cave, stepped forward and did his duty, that's all.

But compared to Li Yu, Hai Jiaxuan didn't think that Gong Jin was dead. Hülegü is not a person who speaks in vain, and the enemy he personally kills should be unreasonable, but Hai Jiaxuan always feels that Gongjin will not die so easily, and at this point, Gengoro also feels the same.

"But why are you here? Kunlun Mountain has just been rising, so you can't come here for sightseeing, right?"

"I'm not familiar with the affairs of Kunlun Mountain, and I also came with her. ”

Kai Jiaxuan handed over the explanation to Mei Lin, who gave Gengoro a satisfactory answer.

As a veteran of the Three Dynasties of Reyns and has assisted Queen Reyns since the Great War of Kyushu, Merlin knows many of Reyns Tiren's state secrets, including information about the Western Queen Mother. Hundreds of years ago, because of the defection of the Queen Mother of the West, the inheritance of the Queen Mother of Dexi was in crisis, and Reyns was entrusted with assistance, and finally it was Merlin who stepped in to solve the matter.

During the process, the Western Queen Mother Clan has been vague, only saying that this is for the survival of the Western Queen Mother Clan, but Mei Lin skillfully tricked the words, and as a result, she learned the secret of the Immortal Tree.

"What? In addition to connecting the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the Immortal Tree also has the function of manipulating people's hearts? Are you sure this thing is true? Not a myth?"

Just like Hülegü's reaction at the beginning, when he heard this too irrational information, Gengoro was also incredulous about the effectiveness claimed by the immortal tree, but Haijiaxuan is not a person who likes to tell jokes, most of the time he doesn't even have a sense of humor at all, when he talks so seriously, Gengoro naturally doesn't want to turn over the table and shout like an excited madman.

"Well, I don't want to believe it, but there's no time for psychological resistance now. That's why you came to Kunlun Mountain?"

Haijiaxuan wordlessly confirmed Gengoro's question. Originally, he and Mei Lin were both recuperating in the area of Free City, but when the Japanese archipelago floated, Mei Lin, who was always worried that the secret of Kunlun Mountain was used by the demons, came with Hai Jiaxuan, just before the poisonous dragon team, annihilated them all, and prevented the undead tree from falling into the hands of the demons.

"If the secret of the Western Queen Mother Clan is true...... Such a dangerous thing, don't you want to tell me that you can continue to let it grow there?"

"If it could be easily destroyed, it would have been secretly destroyed during the last time there was a big scuffle in Japan. It's because you can't easily destroy the undead tree that you need someone to guard it. ”

Hai Jiaxuan explained that because the undead tree grows on the top of the cave, every branch and leaf is connected to the vitality of heaven and earth, and the qi needs that are difficult to see with the naked eye are even deeper into the leylines of the earth, and the consequences of rashly destroying the undead tree are unpredictable, and there is a great possibility of causing a catastrophe, or even a chain explosion that is thousands of miles long. The impact was so serious that even Gengoro had to be cautious.

"Not only can't it be destroyed, but the undead tree can't even move. If there is a slight change in a different plant like this that connects the vitality of heaven and earth, no one can predict the consequences. ”

Having said that, it was difficult for Merlin to explain why the Poison Dragons had come to snatch the Undead Tree, and it stands to reason that the Poison Dragons were supposed to want to move the Tree somewhere.

"I don't know this, maybe Shi Chong asked something from the survivors of the Western Queen Mother Clan, or the Demon Clan researched some secret method, after all, they had spent two thousand years preparing before attacking the Human Realm, and it was not surprising that some of the results were...... Alas, when he drew his sword and slew the poisonous dragon, I should have left him alive to ask questions. ”

This is common sense when fighting, and helplessness is also the common regret of most warriors after fighting.

"Actually, the last time there was a war here, ......," Mei Lin said, "I am afraid of the impact of the immortal tree, and I can't destroy it directly, so I suggest that you cause the Japanese land to sink, and you want to seal this dangerous thing to the bottom of the sea forever, and you won't see the light of day, who knows that the damage caused by this will be even greater." We know too little about the vitality of heaven and earth and the mysteries of this world, and it is really dangerous to look at the heavens and not see the whole picture, and to act recklessly. ”

Mei Lin's earnest words were embarrassed in Gengoro's ears, in order to stop the frenzy of heaven and earth vitality

Out, he accepted Mei Lin's suggestion and sank the Japanese archipelago into the sea, although the scale of the disaster was reduced, but it unexpectedly affected the energy structure of the Wind Continent, if it wasn't for Bai Qi's ingenious arrangement, then he and Mei Lin would have become sinners who are more heinous than the demons and truly destroy the Wind Continent.

"Well, saving the world and destroying the world, sometimes it's just a line between it, it's better to be cautious when doing things, this world can't be saved every time you want to save it. ”

With this feeling, Gengoro concludes this discussion. Until now, Gengoro has a strong sense of unreality and even a little anger at the secret of the immortal tree.

The invasion of the demons, the strength of the demons, and the invincibility of the Great Demon God King...... These negative factors that are unfavorable to humanity have been pressing on Gengoro's mind for a long time, and he has been trying to deal with them for a long time, although it is so difficult to fill the odds, but after all, it is a "reality" that he can actually work hard and resist.

However, now something like the Immortal Tree has suddenly appeared, according to an inexplicable legend, this thing has the ability to manipulate the hearts of the people of the All-Wind Continent, and once used, everyone will become loyal subjects of the Great Demon God King and be loyal to him.

There is no need to bother with the rule of God, and there is no need to worry about the resistance of the invaded, all the people will be loyal to each other like slaves, and this absurd scene is about to play out in the Land of the Wind. Just imagining such a scene, Gengoro felt a kind of anger, not because his own strategy and tactics had completely collapsed and everything had to be reformulated, but because it deviated from the rules of rule since the beginning of the world.

Perhaps the defects of various forms of government cannot fully allow the people to supervise the government, but in the end, one thing remains the same, that is, when the people can no longer bear the pressure, they will rise up and violently overthrow the government that is raging with the people. But with the Tree of Immortality, this balance will be upset, and a complete and permanent rule will be achieved, and no matter how much the ruler behaves, there will be no final sanction.

Because of this, after Gengoro learned of the existence of the undead tree, his first thought was not to use the undead tree to rule the demons, but to destroy it. No matter who it falls into, the Tree of Immortality is something that should not exist in the world, and it will not make the world move in a better direction, it will only get worse, not only for humans, but also for demons, because a ruler who lacks self-reflection will cause destruction regardless of race and status.

But despite his indignation, Gengoro had nothing to do, because in the case that he couldn't destroy or move the immortal tree, the only thing he could do was to defend this place and never let the demons get his hands on it. For Reins, who is already stretched thin in terms of combat power scheduling, this is undoubtedly a step closer to death, fortunately, now there are two more new forces, Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin are here, even if the two of them have not recovered from their injuries, but unless Yinzhen is there in person, other demons will definitely not be able to invade this place.

"From my standpoint, it's hard to say anything right now, I can only say ...... Thank you. ”

Before Gengoro left Kunlun Mountain, he thanked Haijiaxuan and Mei Lin, not only for him and Reyns, but also for the life of the entire Wind Continent. It's just that, while thanking him, Gengoro's heart was full of uneasiness, because with the importance of the immortal tree, it was a matter of time before Yinzhen would attack it in person, and whether Haijiaxuan and Mei Lin could join forces to match it, the outcome seemed to be quite obvious.

Yinzhen's martial arts are too strong, so that the future trajectory will develop in the established direction, how can he reverse the destined destiny track, in addition to relying on wisdom, he can only hope that the group of people who went to the demon world can bring miracles.

※※※

Lancelot and his party, who had such high hopes from Gengoro, really found it difficult to hand over a beautiful report card. As far as the members are concerned, they are indeed strong, with strong martial arts, wisdom, and courage, which are enough to overcome all difficulties, but for an expedition team that has just arrived in a foreign land, they are seriously lacking two things: information about the geography of the Demon Realm, and a guide who is familiar with the local area.

"Hun tent, you want us to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, which direction is that place in the east, west, north and south?"

Lancelot, who had just arrived in the Demon Realm, immediately let out such an angry roar. The strong miasma that permeated the entire demon realm naturally didn't take it to heart, but the dark sky without the sun and all kinds of inexplicable creatures peeping at him secretly made him very unhappy.

Of the three, only Niel had ever visited the Demon Realm, but it was led by Chires, and the time before and after was very short, so she didn't accumulate any experience, at most she was only a little cautious in finding food and water.

There are also heavenly martial artists among the demons, and the three of them must consider the possibility of being detected by the enemy after they come to the demon world, so they all suppress their own strength, but in this way, it has caused a not very good consequence, that is, the surrounding creatures eager to forage for food surge up, causing the first day of the three of them to the demon world, which is to start with a big killing.

"I finally knew...... Why does Yinzhen want to invade the human world. If I were born in this kind of world, I would definitely attack the world like crazy. ”

Lancelot shook his hand and said this after blasting the last giant worm to death. Among the three of them, he killed the most demon creatures, but because he was afraid that the blood of these creatures was poisonous, all the body fluids were forced to open by him before they splashed closely, so there was no blood on his body at all.

In the next few days, the three of them wandered through the wilderness and wasteland of the Demon Realm, looking for the direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall according to the sense of Tianxin Consciousness to the demonic qi.

In the process of pursuit, the three of them all spoke less, and they all thought in their hearts, feeling that this place is really different from the human world, in addition to the differences in various human geography, the biggest difference is that this is a world of struggle, and all living things must sell their lives to get the chance to survive tomorrow.

How can such a creature from this world explain the concept of peace to him? The ideal of peaceful coexistence between humans and demons seems even more elusive now. From this point of view, the three of them suddenly felt how much resistance Temujin tried to govern two thousand years ago, and it was really not a pressure that ordinary people could withstand.

In the induction of Tianxin consciousness, the point where the demonic energy emanates from afar should be the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and the three of them walked straight in that direction, hoping to find something from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace while the master was away. Compared to the dead and silent Termination Mountain, the palace where the Great Demon God Kings lived in the past was undoubtedly more likely to contain secret treasures.

"Hopefully this induction is not wrong, we don't have much time to waste when we get lost......"

With this concern in mind, the three of Lancelot hurried away in a fight. Time was the seventh day of their arrival in the Demon Realm, and a strange fire appeared in the dark sky in front of them, and they crossed the bare stone mountain, and the residence of the Great Demon God Kings of the past dynasties, the majestic scene of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, appeared in front of them.
