After staying warm with Meng Wushuang for a while, Chu Ming found Qin Zhan.

"Counting the law of the inner courtyard, there are nearly ten days or so, it's too late to continue to help you improve your realm, if you want to win against Qin Yi, you can only start from the battle."

"Big Brother - I ......."

Chu Ming waved his hand, he knew what Qin Zhan wanted to say.

"You call me big brother, it's only natural to help you, but Ah Zhan, you have to remember that you can only rely on yourself in the way of cultivation, if you want to correct your name and want your parents to stop being ridiculed, you have to rely on your own efforts, I will give you less and less help in the future, let alone do all this for you!"

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, Chu Ming naturally understands this truth, he doesn't want the people around him to rely too much on him and lose the fighting spirit that he should have as a martial artist.

"I know, big brother!" Qin Zhan nodded solemnly, he was already a smart person, and he could understand everything.

"I asked Wan'er to investigate Qin Yi, although he has a high-level cultivation of Ning Dan, but since his cultivation, he has rapidly improved in the realm of perseverance, his foundation is unstable, his battle spirit is vain, and he is not afraid! There is a set of body combat skills, the name is like a shadow, although there is only a Xuan level primary, but it is extremely mysterious, and it can always be entangled with the other party during the battle, with this set of advanced Xuan level golden snake swordsmanship, it should not be a big problem to win! ”

What Chu Ming gave Qin Zhan was not the best combat technique in the Nine Shadows Ring, but it must be the most suitable.

"Thank you, big brother!"

"You start practicing now, practice the body method first!"

"Yes!"

Qin Zhan's talent was not mediocre, Chu Ming was originally worried that ten days might not be enough, but he didn't expect him to enter the door soon.

Sure enough, the more critical the situation, the more it can stimulate people's potential, perhaps from the time Qin Zhan left Zhongzhou, he was looking forward to the arrival of this battle day and night.

After looking at it for a while, Chu Ming left the inner courtyard with peace of mind, he had another important thing to do.

After breaking through to the Soul Refining Realm, Chu Ming's perception was very keen, and before entering the academy to participate in the big competition, he found that the woman who shot that night was secretly following, since this was the case...... Then have a good chat with her!

To be on the safe side, Chu Ming took out a string of colorful bracelets from the Nine Shadows Ring and put it on, which could withstand the full force of the Emperor Realm's blow, even if the woman made a violent move, he was sure enough to get out safely.

After leaving the academy to avoid the lively long streets, picking on deserted alleys, and turning around to the outskirts of the city, Chu Ming stopped.

"Aren't you going to talk?"

"You can find me!" There was a deep surprise in the cold voice.

When I turned my head, I saw a figure shrouded in black, with only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed outside the veil.

"Your concealment technique is very skillful, and it is indeed difficult for others to detect, but I am very familiar with your cultivation of the Nine Shadows and Separation Fire!"

"Who the hell are you, and what do you have to do with the Nine Shadows!"

The woman asked the question Chu Ming was trying to ask.

"And who are you?"

"I'll ask you first!"

Seeing that this woman's tone was like a child's anger, Chu Ming smiled dumbly.

After being silent for a moment, Chu Ming slowly raised his right hand, revealing the ring on his index finger.

The woman was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and after a while, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she took a few steps forward and asked hurriedly: "Nine Shadow Rings...... Where did you get that? ”

"It was passed down to me by a senior!" Chu Ming sighed, his expression softened a lot, "You can recognize the Nine Shadows Ring, it seems that you are really from the Nine Shadows Clan!" ”

Seeing the confusion in the woman's eyes, Chu Ming did not continue to sell Guan Zi, and told the inheritance matters one by one, but kept an eye on it and did not mention the two holy relics.

The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Chu Ming did not completely confess, but the woman who was originally from the Nine Shadows clan was not so easy to fool, after listening to it, she stared at Chu Ming directly, frowned and said: "You are not a member of my Nine Shades Clan, how can you cultivate the Nine Shades of Fire and the Nine Shades of Yin Qi?" ”

This really can't be explained, after struggling in his heart for a while, Chu Ming made up his mind, temporarily unlocked the seal in the dantian, and his hands reached out, and the phantom of the two holy relics condensed in his palms.

Anyway, the Nine Shadows Fire Bead and the Nine Shadows Stone have already been refined in the dantian, and they are not afraid of her snatching them. I finally met someone from the Nine Shadows Clan, so I must find a way to communicate with them more.

"Away from the Flame Bead...... ......The woman's eyes were full of shock, and after being stunned for a moment, she suddenly knelt down with a heavy bend of her legs, and bowed respectfully: "Xuanji see the Holy Monarch!" ”

Holy Monarch? Chu Ming was at a loss by the scene in front of him, and then he recalled the words left on the stone wall after the ancestors of the Nine Shadows handed him over to inherit - the honor of the Inheritance Saint Realm.

Could it be that the Venerable of the Holy Realm is the Holy Monarch referred to by the woman?

Seeing Chu Ming's puzzled expression, the woman kneeling on the ground seemed to see through the doubts in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Nine Shadows Clan Training, only the Holy Monarch is qualified to be in charge of the Holy Relics!" Since the two holy relics are on you, you are the new Holy Monarch of my Nine Ghost Clan! ”

And this statement?

"Your name is Xuanji?"

"Yes?"

"Yan?"

"My father is from the Yan clan and my mother is from the underworld, so although I am a member of the Yan clan, I can exert a small part of the Nine Yin Qi - I have offended many before, please forgive the Holy Monarch!"

The woman's attitude suddenly became extremely respectful, but Chu Ming was not quite suitable for this identity, so he caressed the other party, and then asked: "I promised that old man to lift the seal of the imprisoned Nine Shadows Clan, do you know where the lost place is?" ”

The woman shook her head when she heard this, and said, "The entrance to the Lost Land is only known to the Holy Monarchs and Elders of the past generations, and my father asked me to come to Donghua City to retrieve the remnants of the map before he died, also to find the Lost Land.......

This answer didn't surprise Chu Ming too much, if she knew that she wouldn't be eager to take the map from her hand before, now it seems that she can only find a way to collect all the remaining maps.

"Do you know if there are any other Nine Ghost Clan people left besides you?"

The woman's face was sad when she heard this, and she shook her head again and again: "I don't know...... I fell asleep for a long time, and when I woke up, I was outside, my father told me...... Grandparents, and the rest of the clan were all sealed in the Lost Land......"

What does this mean? Chu Ming heard it in the clouds.

"You say you've been asleep for a long time? How long? ”

"Almost...... More than a thousand years—"

Chu Ming almost bit his tongue!

"Back then, I was injured by a fierce beast, and my life hung by a thread, my father sealed my soul with the origin of yin qi, and took me out with my mother to visit famous doctors, and it was because of this that I escaped being killed and was not sealed in the holy land. It's just that my father hasn't found a way to completely cure me, and he has given up his whole body to cultivate at the end of the day, so he can barely continue my life——"

I see!

Chu Ming finally understood.

"Where are you hurt?"

"Spirit!"

The soul is wounded, and it is really a bit troublesome.

"What about your mother?"

"I don't know—" The woman shook her head, her eyes confused, "My father fell a few days after I woke up, and I haven't seen my mother, so I think it's ......"

The woman's eyes darkened, revealing a deep sadness.

After sleeping for more than a thousand years, waking up is human, Chu Ming can understand the loneliness and misery in a woman's heart.

"What's next for you?"

"Of course, follow the Holy Monarch!" The woman seemed to have found the last thought in this world, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Xuanji is willing to swear allegiance to the Holy Monarch to the death, and ask the Holy Monarch to save the Nine Shadows Clan!" ”

There is an emperor by his side, Chu Ming can't ask for it, but the problem is that he and this woman have only met for the second time, and they can't talk about trust at all.

Because she is a member of the Nine Shadows Clan, she took the risk to confess, but if she really wanted to take her with her, Chu Ming couldn't let go of this heart.

The abyss will eventually have a bottom, and the hearts of three inches are immeasurable!

Seeing Chu Ming's expression change, the eyes of the woman kneeling on the ground gradually became complicated, and after a while, she took a deep breath, her hands formed a string of complex handprints in front of her, and a crimson little figure slowly condensed.

Soul Sacrifice!

Chu Ming had seen the record of this method in the Nine Secret Records, which was similar to the Warcraft Recognition of the Lord.

"Xuanji promised his father that he would spend his life to save the clansmen, and the reappearance of the Holy Monarch is the blessing of my nine ancestors, and Xuanji is willing to be with him for the rest of his life!"

As she spoke, the woman removed the veil from her face, revealing an exotic and beautiful face. The bridge of the nose is high and straight, and the eyes are like a crescent moon, which makes Chu Ming can't help but think of the beauties of the Western Regions often mentioned in martial arts novels in his previous life.

The woman who raised her head slightly looked firm, and her gaze was resolute, which touched Chu Ming's heart.

Through the narration and recording of the Nine Shadows Secret Record, Chu Ming has a relatively deep understanding of the inheritance history of the Nine Shadows clan, and the strength of this race is not only because of its cultivation talent beyond ordinary people, but also because its belief in maintaining the race is deep in the bone marrow.

If it is only a trace of blood left in the fusion and assimilation of thousands of years of history, then this belief may be relatively indifferent, but the woman in front of him was born when the Nine Shadows Clan was at its most glorious, and the firmness of saving the clan should not be questioned.

Chu Ming waved his hand and summoned the origin of the woman's soul power, and did not include it in the sea of knowledge, but refined it into the Nine Nether Stones.

"Sage-"

The woman's eyes suddenly showed surprise.

"With the Immortal Stone to nourish this wisp of origin, it won't take long for your injured soul to heal under the feedback, and there will be room for continued growth in the future!"

It is also to collect souls, and the income of the sea of knowledge controls its life and death, but the income of the dark stone is to nourish its soul.

A layer of mist appeared in the woman's beautiful eyes, and she put her hands on her forehead and kowtowed reverently.

Chu Ming stepped forward to help the woman up, and asked gently, "Where do you live now?" ”

"I-I ......." The woman's expression was a little embarrassed, and she said: "I'm afraid that others will know my identity, so I've always lived in a place where no one ...... me."

Waking up from a thousand years of sleep, but there was no one of the same clan around him, thinking back to what he had done when he first came to this world, Chu Ming could understand this kind of loneliness and courage.

"You stay in the Mercenary Guild for the time being, and I'll have someone arrange it for you!"

"Yes—"

The woman's deferential attitude is the same as before.
