"See the Lord."

Dugu Yi pulled up his cuffs, lowered his eyebrows and walked into the inner room filled with the smell of incense, and naturally curtsied his knees to perform the junior salute.

It stands to reason that he and the Lord are both Yuanying cultivators, and if they don't salute, others can't say anything.

There was a crisp sound of the porcelain cup hitting in front of him, Dugu Yi subconsciously raised his head, and when he saw the white-haired old man sitting in front of him, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

Most cultivators in the cultivation realm can maintain their appearance in the prime of life, and unless their longevity is approaching, they will show their old age. The old man in front of him had goosebumps, his body was thin, his eyes were cloudy, his hands were like dead branches on the armrests of the carved chair, and his fingernails could be faintly seen to be blackened. This person is Cao Mingjing, the head of Tianyan Sect, who has a dead aura all over his body, and he stubbornly maintains the most solemn and gorgeous robe.

Most people in the cultivation realm couldn't have imagined that without the support of various treasures and magic weapons, this legendary character would actually age like this.

Cao Mingjing was dressed like a fairy, sitting in a circle chair and leisurely burning incense and making tea. changed the usual black robe covered dress, and did not wear a smiling Buddha mask on his face, although his face was old, he looked a little better.

It seemed that he had seen through Dugu Yi's thoughts, and Cao Mingjing naturally beckoned: "Don't panic, this is my private cave mansion, and the people standing inside and outside are all puppet people, even if they see their true faces, they won't say half a word of gossip." ”

But since he dared to be so unscrupulous, he said that the plan was still ongoing.

Dugu Yi arched his hand, with a smile on his face: "The lord must be confident and have the chance to win, and his subordinates will congratulate the lord for getting what he wants." ”

Cao Mingjing laughed and stroked his long hair: "You're still smart." ”

"Tianyan Sect is already in my bag, so there is no need to worry. It's just that there was an accident in a hundred years, Qi Ci was born with a sword bone and a single-line mutant thunder spirit root, and he was already in the early stage of his infancy in the primary grade...... If I can take away his sacrifice, plus this half-step cultivation of the gods, I will have endless time, who else in the cultivation realm can help me?! "The old man's face was distorted and chilling.

Dugu Yi was secretly speechless, it turned out that Cao Mingjing was not only greedy for his mana cultivation as a cheap junior brother, but also for his physical body.

Cao Mingjing's appearance is fairy-like, and his heart is selfish and dark. Dugu Yi couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, he had ordinary qualifications and ordinary bones, and the other party would never look down on him.

"It's just that since this stinky boy ran to the Sun Moon Sect to hide, I can't find any trace of him." Cao Mingjing shook his head, looking pity.

Dugu Yi thought of the appearance of Qi Ci and Huo Rendong holding hands in the mine that day, and there was an inexhaustible fire in his heart.

He sneered silently and said, "Lord, my subordinates are reporting something. ”

Cao Mingjing glanced at him: "Say." ”

"An informant sent a message, saying that Qi Ci went to the sealing place, I'm afraid he went to check the sealing situation, count the days, I'm afraid he has arrived at the gate of the Black Domain now."

As soon as he spoke, the old man's eyebrows jumped, and he slapped the table angrily: "He actually went to the Black Domain Rift, did he find out?" ”

"Twenty years ago, it was Qi Ci who strengthened the sealing seal, and he must be able to detect the loosening of the seal." Dugu Yi paused and lowered his voice, "Venerable Lord, it seems that he has noticed the collusion between the Thousand Machine Pavilion and the Black Domain, although those people have not confessed to you now, but as time goes by, everything is difficult to say." ”

Seeing that Cao Mingjing was a little moved, he continued to add to the fire: "Venerable Lord, your great cause is at a critical juncture. It also takes time for you to absorb the cultivation of the people of the Tianyan Sect, and at this juncture, if the righteous people know about our connection with the Black Domain, it will definitely be like a mosquito and a fly. ”

Cao Mingjing had a painful expression, it was obvious that he didn't want to give up Qi Ci's body. But it's not because of the timing. If it's too late, it's too late.

Qianji Pavilion used the Demon Beast Inner Pill to make Moyu Dan, which can only be regarded as seeking black wealth, which is unjust.

However, if you deliberately break the seal and release the miasma, it is disloyalty, and it must be intolerable for the righteous path.

Cao Mingjing was really afraid that this fire would burn on him at this juncture.

Dugu Yi leaned closer and poured tea for him: "Lord, my subordinates have a small suggestion." ”

"Speak quickly!"

Dugu Yi grinned: "You just need to add a fire to force him to become a demon, and everything will be solved." ”

"Qi Ci has too many weaknesses, doesn't he want to be decent? Then let him become the first Yuan Infant to enter the demon in the cultivation realm, and see who will believe his nonsense, just like the former Qi family. Dugu Yi said coldly.

"The surname Qi should have been extinct a long time ago."

*

After coming out of the sealing seal, Qi Ci suddenly received a message from the old servant of the Qi family. It was said that a big demon suddenly gave birth to the lake near the old house, which bit many people in order to bring disaster to the world, and asked Qi Ci to help.

Huo Rongdong was very understanding: "Since the matter is urgent, you should go quickly." One less person can be faster, don't worry, I can go back to the Sun Moon Sect on my own. ”

Qi Ci let her say everything she wanted to say, so she had to hug the person over, kiss her forehead and face, and let her go after a long time.

The old house of the Qi family is located by a lake, because no one takes care of it, but it is rich in all kinds of demon beasts and spirit plants, and there are many casual cultivators who like to come to adventure and travel.

Since it was said that there were demon beasts in the water, Qi Ci chose to take a big boat.

The boat was fully loaded, and most of the monks on board were casual cultivators, and there were also a few disciples of the sect.

After a day and a night of journey, the lake's pavilion arrived.

They were just about to get off the boat, when the calm lake suddenly set off a wave several meters high, and the two monks jumped out of the water in embarrassment, jumped on the flying magic weapon and ran.

The faces of the crew members who were preparing to dock changed: "It's not good, it's the monster that is causing trouble!" ”

One of the monks took a look at it: "Could it be the Sea-Swallowing Beast that I mentioned recently?" So bad luck that we ran into it? ”

When Qi Ci heard this, he probed out without changing his face, only to see a huge whirlpool appear in the middle of the boundless lake, and the water made a deafening roar, covering all the sounds between heaven and earth.

A huge black shadow flew under their ship, then slammed into it.

With a "boom-" sound, the bottom compartment of the big ship was hit hard, a large amount of lake water poured in, the hull lost its balance, and it began to collapse in an instant.

Suddenly, the lake was screaming and shouting, and the crowd was in chaos.

Qi Ci used a bundle of immortal ropes to pull a few people who were about to fall off the boat to come up, and he flew in mid-air not far away, observing the movements of the so-called sea swallowing beast at the bottom of the lake.

Judging from the black shadow that crossed the bottom of the water, this demon beast was long and narrow, black in color, at least more than thirty meters long, with a triangular head or tail, and three pairs of fins on its body.

The passenger ship carrying them looked like it had also been refined, but when it bit and shook it, it had no power to fight back, and all the crew members abandoned the ship and fled for their lives.

However, the hull of the hard ship was not a target for monsters, and it did not eat wood, so it quickly abandoned the big ship, broke through the waves, and bit the crew and passengers who had no time to escape.

A few monks resisted their fear and began to fight back, and the scene was chaotic with fire and sword light flying on the lake.

But because they are not on land, these people's cultivation is low, and they don't even have a golden pill, so it is quite difficult to cope.

Just in the moment of despair, suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a tree-like lightning bolt suddenly slashed through the sky.

The Sea Swallowing Beast seemed to sense the power of the heavenly thunder, and was so afraid that it did not dare to be tough, and immediately wanted to turn around and hide deep at the bottom of the lake. Qi Ci didn't give it this chance, the sword qi swept down, and the thunder sword directly shook the water flow, and a vacuum belt appeared.

The sharp blade of the sword cracked a notch in the pitch-black, hard skin of the sea swallowing beast, wisps of blood oozed out, and the demon beast let out a wail and roar of rage from pain, and its huge tail flicked from side to side, and slapped a few cracks in the big ship.

But Qi Ci's means did not stop there, the thunder and lightning in the sky split at this time, and the purple sparks crackled and flashed, and there was a "boom-" sound.

Everyone only felt that their eyes were bright, and they couldn't open their eyes. When the movement subsided, I saw the corpse slowly floating up, proving the strength of the moment just now.

"The spell is not strong, but the flesh is quite hard." Qi Ci collected his sword.

"It's not a native-grown monster at all." In other words, it's not adaptable.

Qi Ci subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
