In the empty and dead void.

A young man in a white robe and a handsome woman with short hair flew side by side and landed in front of a swarthy man sitting cross-legged.

The swarthy man opened his eyes, and the voice said, "Jian An, Jian Ping, what's the matter?" ”

In the void, sound cannot be transmitted, and communication can only be relied on transmission.

The man, Jian An, replied, "Dad, someone is trying to contact us. ”

As he spoke, he took out a sound-transmitting jade slip.

"This is what we found at the bottom of the River Tay."

The swarthy man said, "It may just be left by someone unintentionally." ”

The woman Jian Ping took out three jade slips at this time: "My eldest brother and I searched the bottom of the nearby river and found a total of four identical jade slips. ”

The swarthy man's expression became serious and asked, "Have you communicated with him?" ”

"We asked him who he was, and he didn't answer." Jian An handed the jade slip in his hand to the swarthy man.

The swarthy man's consciousness swept over, and the other party's reply was: We have a common enemy!

He pondered for a moment, looked at his children, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Jian An said: "Hiding your head and revealing your tail is not credible." ”

Jian Ping said: "Aren't we also hiding our heads and showing our tails? If we really have a common enemy, it's normal to hide your head and show your tail. ”

"But our enemies are only the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor and the Taigu Immortal Emperor, and this demon realm is all unified by the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor, who else will be our ally?" Jian Andao.

The swarthy man said: "It is not excluded that some old guys are just superficially obedient to the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor, but in fact, they are hiding two hearts, after all, the behavior of the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor and the Taigu Immortal Emperor also caused many people to be dissatisfied back then, until now, there are still some old antiques in the fairy world who are in opposition to the Taigu Immortal Emperor." But to be on the safe side, don't have any contact with him. ”

Jian An agreed: "In my opinion, this is most likely a trap for us, and it is better to ignore it." ”

The swarthy man thought for a moment, handed the jade slip in his hand to Jian Ping, and said, "Ping'er, you are the most astute on weekdays, you should talk to him first and see what his purpose is for contacting us." ”

"Okay."

Jian Ping took the jade slip and walked towards the bottom of the Tai River.

In the void, the Transmission Jade Jane could not receive messages, and had to return to the Demon Realm to use it.

……

Ji Chen, who was far away in his own mansion in the Xuancang Demon Domain, was instructing Peng Xin on the way of the formation, and suddenly received a reply from Jian Ping.

Jian Ping got straight to the point: "What are you looking for us?" ”

Ji Chen pondered for a moment, he contacted these Vault Dwellers, of course, he wanted to establish cooperation with them, but now both sides lack trust in each other, and it is not appropriate to talk about the shallow relationship, and the current cooperation between the two sides is better based on the level of information exchange.

Later, when you are familiar with it and have a foundation of trust, you will talk about anything else.

So he responded: "At this stage, we can exchange some information that is not of interest to you and me, and if we are happy to cooperate, we can exchange some information." ”

Once Ji Chen goes to the Demon Domain at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he will also be able to access some of the core information of the Demon Realm.

After Ji Chen's news was sent, there was no response until half a day later, and he guessed who the person on the other end should have asked for instructions.

"What do you want to know?"

After Ji Chen read the news, he was silent for a moment before replying: "Anything is fine, I am more interested in some secrets, such as the inside story about the closure of the immortal and demon passage, or some secrets of the primeval immortal emperor and the early Yuan demon emperor." Of course, there is some information about yourselves, and I don't really know anything about you. ”

"In exchange, if you have any information you want to know, you can also tell me, and I will tell you what I know."

Ji Chen put down the jade slip and continued to teach Peng Xin, Peng Xin followed Ji Chen to a trip to the Taihe Demon Domain, along the way, Ji Chen's words and deeds taught him, which benefited him a lot, and the level of the formation has improved greatly.

Peng Xinzhong was extremely grateful to Ji Chen, and he already regarded Ji Chen as his mentor, but he didn't dare to call it out, he felt that he was not qualified to call himself a disciple for the time being.

In this way, while Ji Chen was teaching, he chatted with the Vault Dweller with each other, and both sides seemed to have a "bad network", and they would only reply to a message every half a day.

But even so, Ji Chen also gained some information that he was interested in.

The Vault Dweller he was talking to was named Jian Ping.

The so-called Vault Dwellers are actually a group of people who do not obey the Demon Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and they have a long heritage, which may be hundreds of thousands of years away from now.

Vault Dweller is just a general term, they are also divided into many branches, the earliest they were residents of the Demon Realm, are the descendants of some big forces in the Demon Realm, after the Demon Emperor unified the Demon Realm at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, they were unwilling to surrender, and were forced to flee the Demon Realm and hide in the void.

After so many years, some of the Vault Dwellers still maintain their original intentions, still fighting against the Demon Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, hoping to return to the Demon Realm one day, and there are still a group of people who just want to survive now, and they don't care about the grievances of their ancestors, they loot the city, just for the reproduction and life of their descendants.

If given the opportunity, many Vault Dwellers are willing to serve the Primordial Demon Emperor in exchange for the right to return to the Demon Realm to live.

To put it simply, most of the Vault Dwellers are still the main battle faction, but some have become capitulation factions.

It's just that even surrender still needs a chance, and the Demon Realm will not trust a surrendered Vault Dweller unless there is a vote.

This has also led to a crisis of confidence within the Vault Dweller, who are secretly guarding against each other, and the number of raids against the Demon Realm has decreased significantly in recent years.

Because every time he acts, there are hidden surrender factions who leak secrets in exchange for the qualification to return to the demon world.

And Jian Ping's family, who chatted with Ji Chen, according to her, are staunch main battle factions.

However, regarding the closure of the immortal and demon passage, the Jian Ping family didn't know much, and it wasn't even as much as Ji Chen himself.

After all, they have been trapped in the void all year round, and the news is closed.

As for Jian Ping, what they were most interested in was Ji Chen's identity, and Ji Chen didn't say much, only revealing that he was a worker in the Demon Realm system.

In the end, Ji Chen thought about it, the Vault Dwellers didn't know about the past few thousand years, so what about more than 100,000 years ago?

He didn't have much hope, but just tried to ask, "Do you know the sword master?" ”

But who knows, Jian Ping immediately replied to him: "The sword master who fought with the Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor?" ”

"You know?" Ji Chen was extremely surprised.

"The people of the Demon Realm may not know much, but among us Vault Dwellers, the name of the Sword Lord is known to everyone. Because the remnants of the Sword Master's subordinates are now one of our Vault Dwellers, and the most powerful! ”

After Ji Chen read this transmission, he was stunned for a long time.

Is there a remnant of the Sword Master among the Vault Dweller?

He hurriedly asked, "Can you contact them?" ”

Jian Ping said: "It is difficult to discern the direction in the void, and the remnants of the Sword Lord have always been the focus of the Demon Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, so their whereabouts are secretive, and the only way to find them is to rely on luck." ”

"Then please help me keep an eye on them, and once I meet them, please hand over one of the sound transmission jade slips I left behind to them."

After ending the conversation with Jian Ping, Ji Chen had a little more confidence in cooperating with the Vault Dwellers.

With the strength of the sword master, his remnants must not be weak, and Ji Chen relied on the relationship between Gu Nu and Mengchen Sword, it was not difficult to gain the trust of the remnants of the sword master.

Even he knew where the sword master was, and knew how to rescue the sword master.

……

It has been more than half a year since Ji Chen's deity retreated and refined the clone.

Halfway through, he had come out to participate in a holy land competition, and learned the lesson of the last time, and before the game started, he went to the Xianyuan Hall to issue a mission, which made his losing streak extremely smooth.

The process of doppelganger refining was more than halfway through, and he originally planned to complete the doppelganger refining in one go and then go out of the customs, but he didn't pay attention to anything else except for coming out to fight and losing in a row, but he didn't expect that a move he played a long time ago would have a harvest.

He asked Yinliu to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Asgard Holy Land, and there had been no progress for so long.

There has always been a connection between the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor and the Taigu Immortal Emperor, and it is thought that the Taigu Immortal Emperor knew about Yinliu's betrayal from the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor, and told Bai Yuan, so that Bai Yuan was on guard.

So even if Yinliu took the initiative to contact Bai Yuan, he didn't get any reply.

Originally, Ji Chen didn't have a good way, but things suddenly took a turn for the better.

When Ji Chen went to the Pure Yang Immortal Sect for the first time, he had found a spy from the Immortal Palace Holy Land at the foot of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect Mountain, and left a mark on him.

For so many years, this spy seems to have been forgotten by the Immortal Palace Holy Land, and has never returned to the Immortal Palace Holy Land, even if the Pure Yang Immortal Sect later moved to the Purple Dao Immortal Sect, the spy is still active in the original area.

But recently, the spy suddenly made a move and headed towards the north of the cultivation realm.

"Is this news that you received from the Asgard Holy Land?"

Ji Chen did not hesitate, immediately suspended the refining of the clone, and informed Gu Nu to go out with him with the dust sword on his back.

The opportunity is rare, Ji Chen decided to take advantage of this opportunity to take the Asgard Holy Land!

Therefore, he also attacked with all his might, and even brought the Dust Sword.

Ji Chen was in front, Gu Nu walked behind with the dusty sword on his back, and the two of them rushed to the north with a sword.

It didn't take long for Ji Chen to catch up with the spy from the Immortal Palace Holy Land.

Ji Chen and Gu Nu hid their figures, followed the spy unhurriedly, and continued to march north.

In the extreme north of the Xiuzhen Realm, there is a land of ice and snow, covered with snow.

The snow-capped mountains are undulating, and the cold wind is as cold as a knife.

Ji Chen followed the spies over the snowy mountains and came to an empty valley.

The spy went out into the valley and waited.

Ji Chen observed the surroundings, his divine sense swept over, and he found no trace of the Immortal Palace Holy Land, but the Immortal Palace was already good at hiding, and it was not surprising that he could hide his divine sense.

He found a Tribulation Period Elder of the Immortal Palace Holy Land hiding not far away, secretly observing the spy and the surrounding situation.

After confirming that there was no danger, the elder flew to the spy.

"Elder Wu." The spy hurriedly saluted, and there was excitement on his face.

After many years outside, he just wanted to return to the Holy Land of Asgard, which was full of spiritual energy.

Elder Wu nodded, and first checked the spies' belongings, including the storage bag, to confirm that there was nothing abnormal, and then his face softened a little.

Now the status of the Asgard Holy Land in the cultivation realm is different from the past, in the past, if the Asgard Holy Land recruited people, the cultivation realm would snatch the head of the cultivators and squeeze inside.

But now that the Holy Land Alliance has been established, it has become the real overlord of the cultivation realm, and the Immortal Palace Holy Land, which is hostile to it, does not dare to show its head at all.

Naturally, no one would be willing to be an enemy of the Holy Land Alliance and join the already declining Asgard Holy Land.

The previous disciples had suffered heavy casualties, and there was no new blood infusion, and the Asgard Holy Land also valued those disciples who had been almost forgotten by them.

Now that the Immortal Palace Holy Land has completely given up its plans in the cultivation realm, it has recalled all the disciples who are outside, and is ready to hide and recuperate.

The spy thought that he had passed the inspection, but he didn't expect Elder Wu to take out a mirror from his body and look at the mirror from top to bottom on the spy.

Suddenly, Elder Wu's face changed, and there was a red dot in the center of the spout's eyebrows in the mirror!

That's the mark left by Ji Chen.

The spy looked dazed, and before he could understand what was happening, Elder Wu suddenly raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead.

The spy went limp, fell to the ground, and was out of breath.

Ji Chen, who was secretly frowning slightly, glanced at the small mirror in Elder Wu's hand, but he didn't expect that the Immortal Palace Holy Land would have the means to check out the mark he left.

The spy was dead, and Ji Chen's hope of finding the Immortal Palace Holy Land naturally fell on Elder Wu, and at the same time, his divine sense spread out, paying attention to any changes around him.

Elder Wu's face was gloomy, he took out the Transmission Jade Slip and said something, and then silently headed towards the south.

Ji Chen remained where he was, letting Gu Nu secretly follow Elder Wu.

Elder Wu's sword flew extremely fast, but Gu Nu was already a true immortal cultivator, so it was naturally impossible to be thrown away by a tribulation period, so he followed calmly, and constantly reported the situation to Ji Chen.

Elder Wu flew all the way to a mortal town before stopping, found a tavern, ordered a table of wine and food, and drank wine and ate meat alone.

After that, he opened a room in the city inn, and actually stayed at the inn.

In the next few days, he either meditated and practiced in the inn, or went out to wander around, occasionally listening to small songs.

Looking at it like this, it seems that he doesn't plan to return to the Holy Land of Immortal Palace.

Ji Chen learned about the situation from Gu Nu, explained something to Gu Nu, found a cave on the top of the snow mountain, and continued to refine the clone, but his divine sense always shrouded all around.

There is a high probability that the Asgard Holy Land is hidden in this extreme north.

A few days later, Elder Wu was still the same as before, and he had no intention of returning to the Immortal Palace Holy Land.

The Gu Nu in the dark seemed to finally couldn't help but make a move, and sneak attacked Elder Wu when he was cultivating at night.

Elder Wu seemed to have been alert, and he reacted instantly, feeling that the enemy's strength was much stronger than him, and he had no intention of resisting.

He only did two things, he always held a sound transmission jade slip in his hand, and before he died, he sent a sound to the Immortal Palace Holy Land.

He's reminding Asgard to run!

The enemy is with him, so there is a high probability that the Far North side is safe.

Subsequently, he destructs his soul to prevent it from being searched.

In the extreme north, Ji Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at the clouds above a snow-capped mountain in the distance, there were some subtle movements there, but he still couldn't hide it.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and Gu Nu's sudden attack was also his instigation.
