"What's the matter?" the old proverb frowned.

Wu Chong's eyes swept around the hall, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, he hesitated slightly: "Maybe Jiuyou also once told you that he is one of the candidates for the next patriarch of the Nine Shadows Demon Jiao Clan." ”

The old proverb nodded slightly.

"Because of the awakening of the bloodline in his body, Jiuyou has become the most talented person in my clan in one fell swoop, and his support rate among the major candidates is also the highest, if nothing else, after the old patriarch retires, he will become the next patriarch very smoothly. Wu Chongdao.

"But something happened. Gu Yan frowned and said in a low voice.

Wu nodded his head, his eyes were faintly gloomy: "The people of my clan, inherited by bloodline, a hundred years ago, the bloodline was reincarnated, and many outstanding clansmen were reincarnated and reincarnated in various demon beasts with the bloodline of the Nine Demon Jiao. ”

And this time, another candidate who is the most threatening to Jiuyou has also sprung up, his name is Jiuyuan. ”

"This person's talent is not much weaker than Jiuyou, but he was calm and quiet before, and he didn't show the slightest ambition, but he didn't expect that in a short period of time, he immediately defeated all the other competitors strongly, and his means were not weak, and he actually pulled some elders who originally supported Jiuyou into his camp. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Chong sighed helplessly: "Although the Nine Shades bloodline is more powerful, in the clan, that person's voice has surpassed that of the Nine Shades. ”

Gu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that he was indeed a rather difficult guy to deal with, no wonder he was able to force Xiao Jiu to this point.

"By the way, then who does your Nine Demon Jiao Clan Patriarch support?" Gu Yan suddenly asked, as the head of the clan, it was obvious that the choice of this patriarch was the most important.

"The old patriarch entered the Heavenly Cave and closed the death pass. He has not managed the affairs of the clan for a hundred years. Therefore, in the clan today, the elders make joint decisions, and it is precisely because of the patriarch's long-term retreat. Therefore, the clan decided to designate the candidate patriarch this time to assist in the management of the clan's internal affairs. ”

Wu Zhong smiled bitterly. Said: "And if you decide on the candidate patriarch at this time, Jiuyou obviously doesn't have a good chance of winning. And once that guy from Jiuyuan becomes a candidate patriarch, with his means. Perhaps in the next time, Jiuyou's support rate will gradually decrease. At that time, even if the patriarch went out, it might not be able to solve it. ”

"Jiuyuan. The ancient proverb muttered softly, is this Xiao Jiu's tricky competitor.

"The clan decided to consult on the candidates after five days. And the Nine Shadows asked me to invite you to the Nine Shadows Demon Jiao Clan before that. Wu Chong had some doubts in his heart when he said this, thinking that he was also a little inexplicable about Xiao Jiu's decision. Although the strength of the ancient proverb in front of him is not weak, it is obviously far from reaching the point of influencing the decisions of many elders in the Nine Demon Jiao Clan, what is the use of inviting him at this time?

However, although he had doubts in his heart, Wu Chong did not disobey Xiao Jiu's instructions in the slightest. So it doesn't show anything on that side.

"Did Xiao Jiu say anything else?" Gu Yan looked at Wu Chong and asked.

Wu Chong heard this and thought about it. A little dazed, he said: "Jiuyou just said that I can do it, he said that you may be able to help him solve some troubles, as for why he said that, I don't quite understand." ”

The old proverb's eyes twinkle. After a while, he nodded slowly and said, "When will you leave?"

He also didn't know exactly what Xiao Jiu meant. But since he needs his own help, the old proverb will not refuse.

"Immediately!" Wu said in a deep voice. There is a lot of urgency in the clan right now. He also wanted to hurry back to help Xiao Jiu share some of the pressure.

"Then let's go. ”

The old proverb did not hesitate in the slightest. Then he turned his head to look at Xiao Yan behind him with a worried face, and said with a smile: "You just stay here, the Demon Shuai Alliance is just stable now, and you still need to take care of it, Xiao Jiu's side, I'll do it." ”

Xiao Yan had no choice but to nod when he heard this, compared with the Demon Shuai League, he obviously valued Xiao Jiu as a benefactor, but now he has not stepped into half-step cultivation after all. Even if he went, it was difficult to give Xiao Jiu much help. Rather than that, it's better to stay here.

"Brother the old proverb. Be careful. ”

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, from Wu Chong's words, he could also hear that Xiao Jiu's situation did not seem to be good now, and Gu Yan would probably encounter a lot of trouble when he went on this trip.

Gu Yan nodded, and there was no longer any procrastination, and the figure was the first to walk out, and behind it, Wu Zhong also followed......

The Nine Shadows Demon Jiao Clan is located in the southwest of the Beast Domain, where there is an extremely famous area in the entire Beast Domain, called the Nine Nether Abyss, this area is the territory of the Nine Shadow Demon Jiao Clan, here, they are the real overlords of the deserved, and any race in this region maintains an extremely strong sense of awe for this behemoth.

And when the two of them arrived at the Nine Netherworlds, it was already two days later, and once they arrived, the two of them also rushed to the Heavenly Demon Mountains in the deepest part of the Nine Netherworlds.

In the depths of the Nine Netherworld Abyss, there are endless mountains of 100,000 mountains. The mountains here are as high as 10,000 feet, steep and dangerous, and there is an extremely fierce wind formation in the sky, flying here, even the powerhouses of the Divine Realm can hardly hold on for too long.

After arriving at this Heavenly Demon Mountain, Wu Chong let out a whistling sound and summoned a huge blood eagle as a mount, and then the two of them crossed the huge mountain half an hour later. On top of those mountains, there is a stretch of ancient halls appeared, and at the same time, a majestic and domineering aura also appeared in the perception of the ancient proverb.

In the sky above this mountain, from time to time, there will be a flock of hideous-looking giant birds, these monsters also have a powerful aura, and they form a natural defense here.

During this time, the Nine Demon Jiao Clan seemed to have become extremely fortunate, even if Gu Yan was led by Wu Chong, he was still vigilantly checked, which allowed him to enter.

"These guys are really getting more and more uninteresting, and the people invited by Jiuyou dare to interrogate!" For this kind of interrogation, the ancient proverb doesn't matter, but Wu Chong's face is a little pale, this is in the past, who dared to interrogate the people they brought?

Seeing him so angry, Gu Yan smiled and comforted him, and at the same time, his heart deepened a little solemnly. The person called Jiu Yuan, it seems that his means are really not weak, and he has gradually weakened Xiao Jiu's prestige among the Nine Demon Jiao Clan to this point.

The two of them went straight to the depths of the mountains. More than ten minutes later. Wu Chong descended from the top of a majestic mountain, and the ancient proverb followed. And just when he fell, he saw Wu Chong's figure stiffened, and then he looked up and saw several figures coming towards them in front of him.

At the forefront of those figures was a man dressed in gray and black, who looked quite young and had a handsome face. It's just that it's a little feminine, and the slightly thin lips seem to have an uncomfortable smile overflowing at the corners of the lips when they are pursed.

Gu Yan's eyes were fixed on the gray and black figure, his pupils shrank slightly, and from the latter's body, he could sense a rather powerful aura, to that extent, it was obviously at the level of the Creation Realm.

Gu Yan glanced at Wu Chong, who looked a little uncomfortable, and then glanced at the man who came over. Thoughtful in the heart.

"Hehe, is Brother Wu out for something?" the man walked up and smiled at Wu Chongwen. The smile is genuine.

When Wu Chong heard this, he laughed dryly and nodded: "Bring a friend to the clan to have a look, this shouldn't be in the way, right?" ”

In the Nine Demon Jiao Clan, as long as they are candidates for patriarch, they can all be called young patriarchs.

Jiuyuan.

The old proverb pursed his lips.

Jiu Yuan smiled, and the eyes that made people couldn't see the emotions in their hearts glanced at Gu Yan, and for a moment, the latter clearly saw a touch of coldness from the depths of his eyes.

"This friend should be Jiuyou's friend called Gu Yan, right?" Jiuyuan smiled.

Wu Chong's complexion changed slightly. I didn't expect that this Jiuyuan even had this kind of information in hand.

Gu Yan's face has not changed, and he is also smiling at Jiuyuan. Then he bowed his hand politely.

"Hehe, whoever comes is a guest. As the old proverb goes, even though you are playing in the clan, if you have anything, you can come to me. Jiuyuan looked the ancient proverb up and down, and said in a friendly way.

Gu Yan smiled and nodded, but the vigilance of this Jiuyuan in his heart has risen a little, if it weren't for Wu Chong telling him some deeds about this guy, I'm afraid even he would have a good impression of him when they met for the first time, this guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Young Patriarch of the Nine Shadows, we still have something to do, let's take a step ahead. ”

Wu Chong obviously didn't want to have a deep chat with Jiuyuan, and after saying a word, he pulled the ancient proverb past Jiuyuan's group of people, and then quickly left.

Jiuyuan only smiled faintly at Wu Chong's behavior, and then tilted his head slightly, looking at the distant figure of Gu Yan, and the gentle smile on the corner of his lips gradually dissipated.

"Young Patriarch of the Nine Shadows, that ancient proverb comes to the Nine Shadows Demon Jiao Clan at this time......" beside Jiuyuan, one person said in a low voice.

Jiu Yuan smiled, and immediately walked forward, and a faint cold voice quietly spread.

"Even the Nine Shadows have been made like this by me, what is a human kid in the Ninefold God Realm?"

"That person just now is Xiao Jiu's biggest competitor, right?" As he walked away, Gu Yan glanced behind the corner of his eye, and then said softly.

"Hmm. Wu nodded his head, his face was slightly gloomy, as a member of the Nine Demon Jiao Clan, he knew best how powerful that guy's methods were.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the reincarnation of the Nine Shadows bloodline and his reincarnation on the Nine Abyss Ice Spirit Jiao, how could he compete with the Nine Shadows, when the Nine Shadows bloodline was still in the clan, that guy was as honest as anything in front of him. Wu Chong snorted coldly.

"That's what makes it amazing. The ancient proverb muttered, the word forbearance, he contains it deeply, and naturally knows very well how difficult this kind of person who knows how to forbear.

"But the man ......"

Gu Yan frowned slightly, I don't know if it was because the two of them were not ordinary people, he always sensed an uncomfortable feeling from that Jiuyuan.

"Brother Lao, we have arrived. ”

Just as the ancient proverb was pondering, Wu Chong's voice came, and when he raised his head, there was already a quiet courtyard in front of him, and in the depths of that courtyard, a familiar figure could be vaguely seen.

The two walked into the courtyard, and then saw a slender figure sitting cross-legged in the stone pavilion, and the sandalwood in the stone pavilion was quite clean.

When the two walked in, the figure also opened his closed eyes, and then he looked at the ancient proverb, and his handsome face showed a touch of helplessness, and said, "I didn't expect to call you." ”

"I'm your eldest brother, so of course you have to call me if you're in trouble. The old proverb sat down directly in the stone pavilion. Laughed.

Xiao Jiu pursed his lips, but from the ancient proverb, he could feel the smell of the wind and dust, and it was obvious that the latter was coming non-stop. This made him feel a little warm in his heart, the trouble within their Nine Demon Jiao Clan. Ordinary people don't have the guts to get involved, but the old proverb is now duty-bound.

"I already know about the matter, your position as the young patriarch seems to be robbed?" Gu Yan didn't say much nonsense, his eyes stared at Xiao Jiu, and his eyes were a little more solemn.

Xiao Jiu's long and narrow eyes narrowed for a moment, his handsome face looked quite powerful, and he said in a cold voice: "It's just a fart worm around me back then." During the years of my bloodline reincarnation, my ambition swelled terribly. ”

"But he does have some skills. ”

Xiao Jiu's voice paused, thinking that his situation in the clan was not particularly good at this time, otherwise with his arrogance, I am afraid he would not say such a thing.

Judging from the performance of Jiuyuan today, it is obvious that he is a master who is very good at forbearance. Back then, he would willingly follow Xiao Yan's buttocks, and it was hard to know if he was deliberately trying to gain Xiao Yan's trust and find an opportunity.

Gu Yan nodded slightly, after all, now that Xiao Jiu's bloodline has returned to his body, his prestige in the clan or something. It's all the same. Moreover, now his father is the current patriarch of the Nine Demon Jiao Clan. He is still in a long period of retreat.

"How can I help?" Gu Yan looked at Xiao Jiu and immediately smiled. Said: "I am also the punishment elder of the dragon clan now, this identity is not light for you Nine Demon Jiao clan, although it is impossible to use the power of the dragon clan, but I think it will also help you a little in terms of momentum." ”

"Dragon Clan Punishment Elder?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu and Wu Chong were both stunned. Immediately, they stared at the ancient proverb in amazement, as the clansmen of the Nine Demon Jiao, they naturally knew very well the rights and status of the Dragon Clan, the punishment elder, but they didn't expect it. Would the dragons give such a position to the old proverb?

"Something happened within the dragons, and then they had to make me some kind of punishment elder. The old proverb shrugged. I didn't explain it in too much detail.

"The punishment elder of the dragon clan is indeed not low. But I don't really need this for what I want your help with. Xiao Jiu said with a smile.

"What?"

Xiao Jiu pursed his lips. Immediately, with a wave of his robe, a circle of light shrouded the stone pavilion. Then his slightly deep voice slowly came out: "I want you to help me go to the Heavenly Cave where my father is in retreat, he has been in retreat for a hundred years, and there is no news from it, even if it is sent to him, there is no response, so I suspect that he may be in trouble in the Heavenly Cave." Or rather, trapped. ”

"What!"

As soon as Xiao Jiu's words fell, Wu Chong on the side got up. His face was full of shock, obviously frightened by Xiao Yan's inference.

Gu Yan's brows also furrowed slightly. Xiao Jiu's father, as the patriarch of the Nine Demon Jiao Clan, must be quite terrifying, and he wants to trap him for a hundred years without disturbing other clansmen, is this possible?

"Some of the old immortals of our Nine Demon Jiao Clan often retreat for hundreds of years, so it seems that there is really nothing wrong with my father's retreat, so even some of the other elders haven't thought much about it. ”

Xiao Jiu's eyes were faintly a little calm, and then he continued: "But half a month ago, I tried to approach the Heavenly Cave, but I was stopped by two elders, and those two elders belonged to Jiuyuan's line. ”

"The Heavenly Cave can't be easily entered, maybe they don't want you to disturb the people inside for retreat, right?" Wu Zhong said hesitantly.

"This does make sense, but the natal blood feather that my father once left me has gradually changed not long ago. Xiao Jiu stretched out his slender palm, and in his sadness, there was a blood-colored feather, but now this originally gorgeous feather has become extremely dim, and the vitality fluctuations that swirl around it are also weakening.

"This?"

Wu Chong looked at this scene in shock, and then hurriedly said, "Then why don't you tell the truth to many elders?"

"Retreat and cultivation, there will be some risks, this kind of risk can be big or small, the light is injured, the heavy is falling, if Xiao Jiu tells those elders the news, they will only think that your patriarch has gone wrong because of cultivation, at this time, you can't easily disturb it. Gu Yan shook his head and said.

"It's not because the cultivation went wrong. ”

Xiao Jiu's handsome face was extremely cold at this time. His fingertips wiped the blood feather in his hand, and then he saw the blood light surging on it, forming two extremely obscure fonts. That's the "Devil's Hell".

"Hell of the Devil?

Wu Zhong was a little dazed when he saw this font. And the face of the ancient proverb changed drastically in an instant, but he was no stranger to this name, because the powerful demons who attacked the Shenyan Pavilion at the beginning came from this extremely weird and powerful organization!

"Do you know what this is?" Xiao Jiu asked with a little surprise as he looked at Gu Yan's expression.

"A mysterious organization condensed by the demons, speaking of which. I'm afraid it's the most terrifying force in the world. Gu Yan sighed lightly, and then roughly explained what he had experienced in the Divine Flame Pavilion.

"I could guess that it might have something to do with the demons, but I didn't expect it to be an organization. Xiao Jiu muttered to himself, and then his eyes became hideous: "These damn things have invaded our clan unknowingly!"

The ancient proverb also took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart, the means of this "Demon Prison" are indeed too penetrating, and it can invade the Nine Demon Jiao Clan, which is the overlord of the demon beasts, without knowing it, and trap the patriarch who is in retreat in the heavenly cave.

"If you want to do this kind of thing, even if the strength of the Demon Hell is monstrous. But it is definitely difficult to rely on them alone, unless it ......" Xiao Jiu's slender palm slowly clenched, and there were green tendons exposed on the palm.

"Unless they have an internal response. ”

The old proverb sighed softly. Take this sentence, the strength of the Demon Hell, maybe a Nine Demon Jiao Clan can't compete, but if they want to complete these things without the entire Nine Demon Jiao Clan being able to detect it, they must be familiar with all the information in the Nine Demon Jiao Clan, and if they want to reach this step, they must have internal information to provide.

That is to say, their Nine Demon Jiao clan has a spies.

"Which king is it!" Wu Chong's eyes were hideous. A thick killing intent permeated from his body, and it was obviously an abnormal rage.

Xiao Jiu smiled. It's just that the smile is filled with Senran: "Who else could it be?"

"Jiuyuan. ”

Gu Yan pursed his lips, except for the guy who suddenly rose up among the Nine Demon Jiao Clan and tried to seize power. Who else could it be?

"I'm going to kill that wretch!"

Wu Chong got up murderously, but Xuan was scolded by Xiao Jiu and sat back: "These things are our inferences, how can you kill him?"

Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Then what now, if that guy really gains the power of the clan, my Nine Demon Jiao clan will not be finished!"

Xiao Jiu was silent for a moment, then looked at the ancient proverb, and said helplessly: "Now I can only look at you."

He knew that although the ancient proverb didn't seem to be amazing, if it was to say that he was familiar with the demons, he was afraid that none of them could compare.

Gu Yan nodded slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "You find a chance to send me into the Heavenly Cave, I will go to investigate, the current situation, only by rescuing your father can it be reversed, otherwise, no one will believe you." ”

Xiao Jiu also nodded and said, "I can only rely on you." ”

"Rest assured. ”

Gu Yan smiled, over the years, he had dealt with the demons too much, and now he was probably able to receive the title of a demon slayer professional.

The Heavenly Cave, located in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, is a forbidden place among the Nine Demon Jiao clan, and only some people with a fairly high status in the clan are qualified to enter it to practice retreat, but from ancient times to the present, there is no shortage of top powerhouses of the Nine Demon Jiao clan who have retreated in it and lost their news permanently, and it was not until much later that the clan probed and was able to find their seated bones in some retreats, which was caused by the failure of some breakthroughs.

And because of this, the Heavenly Cave is generally strictly forbidden for ordinary people to enter, and if you want to enter it, you must also get the approval of the Elders' House.

But obviously, if the old proverb wants to get into it, it will not work if you take this path.

In the deepest part of the mountain range, a huge mountain stands out, and at the intersection of the mountain ranges, there is a bottomless dark giant hole, the huge hole is about a thousand feet wide, from a distance, it is like a dark hideous mouth, any creature that enters it will be swallowed by that darkness.

At this time, above the dark hole, there were some ancient light runes, these runes were connected together, like a barrier, blocking the dark hole.

Looking closer, I could only see that on some of the peaks around the giant cave, several old figures could be faintly seen sitting in circles, their eyes were closed, like old monks in a state of meditation, but only the vast spiritual power fluctuations around them that were as turbulent as the sea could let people know what terrifying power this rock-like figure possessed.

They are the guardians of the Heavenly Cave within the Nine Demon Jiao Clan. (To be continued)
