Among the four regions of the Northern Domain, the Eastern Wasteland, the Southern Emperor Domain, and the Western Desert, the western Desert is the most dangerous.

Not only because the ownerless oasis dotted on the vast land of the Xituo Desert is often infested with extremely high-level demon beasts, but also because it is rumored that there is an unknown horror existence under the Xituo Desert, and even the Xituo Desert itself exists to seal and suppress the unknown horror.

No one knows when the monsters that haunt the depths of the oasis and the unknown horrors buried underground will suddenly emerge.

It's just that with the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer people living in the Xituo Desert, and the countless legends that have been passed on are naturally slowly lost, and now those who still live in the Xituo Desert have not left, except for those monks who voluntarily came here to guard the borders of the human race and the merchants who came to run the most business, only those elderly people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns are left.

It is precisely because of this that there are actually not many people left in the huge Xituo Desert, which has also led to the fact that the originally prosperous Xituo Desert has become desolate everywhere, and only the "Fuyang City" located on the border and on the edge of the traffic artery is still a little lively.

Walking through the layers of forests in the uninhabited valley, staring at the scorching sun that never seems to set through the endless yellow sand desert at your feet, and finally seeing a team of chariots and horses galloping on a not spacious gravel road, the scenery in front of you has finally changed from an endless yellow sand to a nearby Fuyang City.

Looking at it, Fuyang City, as a town at the junction of the human race and the demon race, although it looks a little old and lonely, the tall and heavy city wall built between the two high mountains still gives people an extremely shocking sense of impact.

When the monks who followed the caravan or volunteered to come to the city to guard the border walked to the gate of Fuyang City, looking at the same very tall and heavy city gate, they could even faintly smell the thick and old smell of blood overflowing from the city gate.

Obviously, Fuyang City has indeed resisted many invasions of demon beasts or demons.

At the gate there are soldiers in charge of guarding, who were sent here by the dynasty that once ruled the entire Western Desert before the fall, but who did not want to leave after the decline, and who are now old.

Even though the dynasty has disappeared into the rolling tide of history, these elderly soldiers have turned into guards in the city, specially guarding the city gate tower and in front of the city gate, in order to check the identity of everyone who enters the city, so as to prevent the demons from taking the opportunity to disguise themselves and blend into the city.

After leaving the Uninhabited Valley, Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao are now two middle-aged couples, carrying a slightly contrived package, and only entered the city unharmed after allowing the guards in front of the city gate to inspect themselves.

The only surprise was that the guards who didn't see the two in disguise stopped the two when they were about to enter the city, and said, "There are quite a few monks in the city, please be careful."

Unexpectedly, the other party was admonishing themselves, Cao Chuan and Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded to the guards, and then slowly walked into the city.

Entering the city of Fuyang, you can see old houses mixed with inns or shops built by businessmen.

and a wanted portrait of Zhang Cao Chuan, which has been widely circulated in the city during this time.

The wanted portrait also focuses on Cao Chuan as a demon villain who is good at disguising himself and then blending in with the human race in an attempt to harm the human race.

The bounty below it has even reached a full 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

It is extremely rare for such a high reward to be offered, so as soon as you enter the city, you can see a large number of monks gathered in front of the wanted notice, and from time to time they talk to each other about how to find Cao Chuan and arrest him.

"I'm here from the Southern Imperial Domain, and this Cao Chuan's name sounds really familiar."

"But I heard that this Cao Chuan has been a lonely family since he was a child, and he became a monk after being favored by the Tianhe Holy Land, so it stands to reason that there should be no problem with his bloodline background."

"And I also heard that when this Cao Chuan was still in the Tianhe Holy Land, he was already favored by Elder Wu of the Inner Courtyard of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, I think with Elder Wu's eyes, it shouldn't be impossible to see Cao Chuan's truth and falsehood, right? What's more, we all know that Elder Wu is not a demon. ”

"So this wanted notice is fake?"

"No kidding, this wanted notice was issued from the Heavenly Spirit Academy, who would dare to pretend to be the Heavenly Spirit Academy."

"Then is this Cao Chuan a spy of the demon clan? I'm almost stunned by what you're saying. ”

"Hey! You don't care if he is a real demon or a fake demon, I only know that if you catch Cao Chuan and send him to the Heavenly Spirit Academy, you can have 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, I don't believe that none of you are not impressed? ”

Such a sentence suddenly sounded in the crowd, and the crowd who was still talking immediately became silent.

Because they knew that what the other party said was true, they were all monks, and what monks needed most when cultivating was spirit stones, and without spirit stones, they would not be able to move an inch.

And an ordinary monk can be considered rich if he can have dozens of low-grade spirit stones on his body, and the reward written on the wanted notice is a full 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

No matter how pure the heart is, it is inevitable that they will be lost in such a high reward.

Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao, who had already entered Fuyang City, naturally heard these people's discussions about themselves.

The disguised face frowned slightly, and his face became a little ugly.

Wen Jinghao sensed the resentment emanating from the people around her, and quickly reached out to pat the back of Cao Chuan's hand, and whispered comfortingly: "Cao Gongzi, you have always been very calm, you should also know how to make a big plan if you can't bear it, and now our situation is like this, if you can't help but expose yourself at this time, then we will really have no way to escape." ”

"Whew!"

With a long sigh of turbidity, Cao Chuan calmed the anger in his heart, resisted the urge to rush forward to explain himself, and said to Wen Jing in a soothing tone: "Miss Wen, you are right, if you expose yourself at this time, it will undoubtedly bring you death, so that we will never be able to avenge ourselves." ”

"But I'm still worried that we won't be able to hide our identities for too long."

Looking at the golden plaque of the Glazed Heavenly Treasure Pavilion that actually had a semicolon in the Western Desert, Cao Chuan frowned again, and said worriedly: "Although Fuyang City is already the town with the smallest number of monks compared to the other three domains, no one can guarantee whether there is an existence in the city with an extremely high cultivation realm. ”

"Once those masters find out, we will still be killed."

"Liu Chen... But I hate me very much..."

Wen Jing was speechless, she knew that what Cao Chuan said was right, no one could guarantee whether there would be a Purple Mansion Realm or even a Yuan Shen Realm cultivator in Fuyang City.

But the two had no choice.

The so-called once you come is safe, and the two who calmed down finally found an inn opened by ordinary people for a temporary rest.

On the first night, neither of them slept well, and they were always worried that they would be found by Liu Chen the next day.

The next night, the two of them slept very peacefully, they had already figured out that if they kept entangled in their life and death like this, it would be better to die, and they would not be able to calm down and cultivate at all, let alone have a chance to take revenge if they were to improve their realm.

So on the third day and even the fourth and fifth days, the two of them still ate and slept well, and they practiced carefully in the guest room when they had nothing to do.

This life continued until one night on the tenth day.

The night was a strange day, because it was a rare rain in the Xituo Desert, and although the rain was not heavy, it was noisy outside the window.

Wen Jinghao had finished cultivating and was lying on the bed to sleep, but Cao Chuan, who had greatly improved his five senses after breaking through to the Divine Treasure Realm, couldn't fall asleep.

But not because of the sound of the rain outside the window, but because in his room, at this moment, there was another mysterious person hidden in the darkness.

And the other party's body constantly exuded a willingness to get close to him, which made Cao Chuan feel strange and slowly flew goosebumps.

"Could it be that Liu Chen found me so quickly?"

"Miss Wen didn't make any noise there, could it be that Miss Wen had been taken away? Was it actually a monk above the Purple Mansion Realm who made the shot? ”

While watching the people in the darkness approach him, Cao Chuan imagined every possibility in his heart, as well as his escape plan.

But at this moment, the person hiding in the darkness seemed to notice that Cao Chuan wanted to escape, so he stopped his approaching footsteps, just stood in place, and then said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you, I just have a few questions I want to ask you." ”

Old voice.

Still a woman.

Cao Chuan still didn't understand the intention of the visitor, but he still nodded and said, "As long as I know, I will definitely answer." ”

"I'll thank you in advance."

The visitor was very polite, and after thanking him, he immediately asked, "Young man, do you know that there is a demon aura in your body?" Do you know that this evil aura originated from the sword demon Yu Tianxing in the Twelve Demon Venerables in ancient times? Can you tell me how you got it? ”

A series of three questions made Cao Chuan believe that the person who came tonight did not have any hostility towards him.

It was only after a moment of contemplation that he thought of a coincidence.

Therefore, Cao Chuan did not rush to answer the other party's question, but instead recalled the memory fragment of Yu Tianxing that he had seen in the Sword Demon Secret Classic, and said tentatively to the comer: "If the junior didn't guess wrong, the senior should be the woman named Su Ange in the memory of Yu Tianxing's predecessor, right?" ”

"And..."

"You are the grandmother in those mouths, that's why you left the Uninhabited Valley and came to Fuyang City to find me, right?"

"You..."

Unexpectedly, Cao Chuan not only didn't answer his own question, but even turned against Su Ange, who was in his own army, and a trace of surprise flashed in his slightly wide eyes, but he quickly calmed down and responded: "You are very smart, all the words you just said are correct, I am indeed the Su Ange in your mouth, and I am also the grandmother of those little guys." ”

"But now it's your turn to answer my questions, right?"

Su Ange still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and immediately walked out of the darkness, stood directly on the side of the bed, and stared at Cao Chuan with flickering cold eyes.

This made Cao Chuan feel more at ease, and Su Ange's reaction had already made him believe that the senior in front of him would definitely not kill him.

Because the affection between her and Yu Tianxing not only did not disappear with the passage of time, but became deeper and deeper, so that it was difficult to forget at all.

Cao Chuan, who was completely relaxed, sat on the bed like this old god, but he didn't dare to continue to pretend, and immediately wrapped the black remnant sword in the depths of the sea of knowledge with spiritual power and the equally mutilated sword and demon secret book to make them appear in front of Su Ange's eyes.

At the same time, he said: "This is the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Sword Demon Secret Book that I got in a secret realm, and the reason why I know the identity of my predecessors is also because of these two things, and the juniors have already seen part of the memories of Yu Tianxing's predecessors when they got them, which happen to be related to you, seniors." ”

"So, you're not Yu Tianxing." Su Ange's eyes narrowed slightly, and a bit of murderous aura was faintly revealed.

"It turns out that the seniors regarded me as Yu Tianxing's seniors." Cao Chuan continued very calmly: "But the seniors should know that people are born, old, sick and die, not to mention that Yu Tianxing's predecessors violated the rules of the demon clan, so the death of Yu Tianxing's predecessors is doomed, and don't the seniors know, the junior is the one who was pasted on the wall." ”

"Someone on the wall?"

"So that guy is you?" Su Ange had no intention of killing Cao Chuan, and after hearing what Cao Chuan said, he was even more shocked and said: "You are the Cao Chuan who is wanted by the Tianling Academy, and the wanted warrants are almost all over the four regions?" ”

Before Cao Chuan could open his mouth, Su Ange, who seemed to have thought of something, immediately lowered his head and muttered to himself: "This makes sense, it turns out that the evil qi of the Heavenly Star has exploded in your body, so you will be considered a member of the demon race, and the Heavenly Spirit Academy will issue a wanted warrant to arrest you." ”

"The seniors were wrong."

"Huh? What did you say? Su Ange was puzzled, she didn't understand how Cao Chuan could be regarded as a demon by people other than this.

"Even if there is no predecessor Yu Tianxing, the younger generation will still become the demon clan on the wanted list."

Cao Chuan smiled and said the answer: "But one thing is true, at that time, I fought with that Liu Chen, and with the cultivation realm of my Divine Hidden Realm, I naturally would not be that guy's opponent, but when I was seriously injured, Yu Tianxing's predecessor's evil qi controlled the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Sword Demon Secret Book to help me seriously injure Liu Chen, so the picture in the secret stone became that I finally couldn't pretend, and completely exposed the truth of my own demon race." ”

"The juniors said this, can the seniors understand?"

"That's nature."

Su Ange nodded, and the evil qi that emerged from his body just now also dissipated, replaced by the affinity of the elders to the juniors, and said: "That's because the evil qi of the Heavenly Star contains a consciousness of his life, so when you are fatally injured, the consciousness of the Heavenly Star will control the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Sword Demon Secret Book to protect you, but only that once." ”

"But listening to what you said, it looks like you haven't started cultivating the Sword Demon Secret Book yet, right?"

"I was busy running away and healing my wounds before, so I naturally didn't have time to cultivate the Sword Demon Secret Codex."

Cao Chuan, who didn't expect Su Ange to joke, smiled embarrassedly, shook his head and said: "What's more, I am originally a human race, if I really go to cultivate the magic secrets of the demon race, the seniors think that the younger generations will never be able to see people with their true faces, right?" ”

"Hahahaha, you're funny, little one." Su Ange smiled and said, "Since you have obtained the inheritance of Tianxing, you should also know that the Sword Demon Secret Book is actually the secret of the exercises created by Tianxing himself, right?" ”

Seeing Cao Chuan nodded, Su Ange continued: "The Sword Demon Secret Book does sound very similar to the Demon Clan's exercise secrets, plus you still have a part of the Heavenly Demon Sword remaining in your body, so you think that cultivating the Sword Demon Secret Book will make you completely reduced to the Demon Race, but in fact, it is not like this." ”

"The Sword Demon Secret Archive is just like that, but Tianxing told me back then that one of the purposes of cultivating the Sword Demon Secret Archive is to contain the evil qi in the body, at least to cover up the evil qi, so you should instead cultivate the Sword Demon Secret Archive as soon as possible."

"But judging by the way you look, you haven't even healed your injuries yet."

"So what are you going to do?" Cao Chuan was lying on the bed, still looking like a graceful swimmer.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask if you want to go to the Uninhabited Valley to cultivate with me." Su Ange finally said the purpose of his visit: "Since you have inherited the mantle of Tianxing, then even if you are Tianxing's apprentice, as long as you nod, I will take you to the Uninhabited Valley to practice, and teach you how to cultivate the Sword Demon Secret Book and control the Heavenly Demon Sword." ”

But Cao Chuan did not respond to this proposal, but just lay on the bed and looked at the roof.

Su Ange was not in a hurry, so he stood by the bed and waited quietly.

"Senior, what kind of cultivation realm are you?"

Until Cao Chuan suddenly asked such an abrupt question.

Su Ange, who heard this question, was obviously stunned, but then covered his mouth and chuckled.

The laughter came into his ears, and Cao Chuan turned his head to look at Su Ange suspiciously.

He had already explored just now, and there was almost no spiritual power in Su Ange's body, but because the other party could sneak into Fuyang City or even his own room quietly, he didn't underestimate Su Ange, but he didn't think that Su Ange would be so powerful.

"Little one, your eyes have betrayed your inner thoughts."

Perhaps it was because Cao Chuan inherited the mantle of Yu Tianxing, so Su Ange's attitude towards Cao Chuan changed, and he patted Cao Chuan's head like an elder to blame, and then explained: "Your camouflage secret technique can cover up your aura and realm, but in my eyes, it is as if it does not exist, so what do you think I am in the cultivation realm?" ”

"As for the Liu Chen you mentioned... I already know about this person. ”

"Or else."

Su Ange looked at Cao Chuan and said word by word: "As long as you are willing to call me a senior lady and go back to the Uninhabited Valley with me to cultivate, I will go to Zhongzhou to help you kill Liu Chen, how about it?" ”
