() In ancient times, the immortals and demons fought each other for many years, but neither could encroach on the other's huge power. In the final analysis, in fact, the two clans did not have any great enmity at first, at best, they did not like each other because of their different paths of cultivation.

After countless turbulent wars, it is difficult for people to trace the original root knot of resentment, but the resentment is deeply seared in their bones. The two races of immortals and demons have established military control respectively, fighting each other for cities and land, and regard each other as their greatest enemies in life, but almost everyone can't tell what the so-called "hatred" is. Even every newborn in the two races has grown up in an environment of "different ways of immortals and demons" since they fell to the ground, and it is inevitable that they will have a deep-rooted hatred for aliens when they grow up.

Maybe without the appearance of the demon clan later, the immortals and demons would have been fighting forever.

From another point of view, such a long-term struggle has greatly promoted the way of cultivating immortals and demons. No one doesn't want to quickly improve their strength, and the immortals and demons have always pursued the "strength first", in addition to the talent that cannot be changed, whether it is the acquired diligence, perseverance, or the cultivation environment, items and other conditions, can be improved through hard work. Therefore, not only is it common to practice hard in the Yu Yu world, but also skills related to cultivation such as casting and alchemy are also popular, and almost every sword immortal and sword demon has a good level of casting and alchemy.

Among the immortals and demons, there is a special force - the Ascendant. That is, those who have ascended from the next level of the Great Red Realm. Although only one person can ascend every tens, or even hundreds of years, the number of these ascendants cannot be underestimated after years of accumulation. The reason why the immortals and demons attach great importance to the ascended is because they have a unique advantage - after they ascend to the upper realm, they already have a certain level of cultivation, and the people of the Yu Yu realm call them "primary cultivators". And newcomers born in the Yuyu Realm must go through a long period of primary cultivation before they can reach the level of a "primary cultivator". In other words, the Ascended are forces that can be immediately thrown into war.

In addition, the Ascendant's perseverance and tenacity are undoubted, and if cultivated carefully, they will be a rare backbone. However, people may be born xenophobic. The people of the Yu Yu Realm were always worried that the strength of the Ascended Ones would be too strong and they would snatch their position, and they were not willing to provide them with excellent cultivation conditions for free, and the Ascended Ones gradually formed their own forces and were self-sufficient.

In the struggle between the immortals and demons, the people of the Yu Yu realm gradually realized that the power of the Ascendant was a rare reserve of combat power, and it was better to win over than to isolate. On the one hand, the high-ranking leaders of the two clans negotiated with the leaders of the Ascension, and on the other hand, they also sent manpower to maintain the stability and security of the four Ascension Zones. It's a pity that the westernmost Ascension Zone, Guanghua District, was destroyed by the rapidly rising demon forces, and the remaining three Ascension Zones have survived to this day.

The Feiyun District where Xiao Tianhe soared was the westernmost of the three surviving Ascension Zones. Feiyun City in the area is an important town built by the immortal clan. The hotel in the city, the "Ten Thousand Immortal Tower", is a place for immortal cultivators to rest and enjoy, and although they are also allowed to enter, they are often not so well received.

Just as Xiao Tianhe, Liao Qifeng, Sun Hailiang, and Lu Xiaoyan were tasting food and wine, a group of people walked into Wanxian Tower. After seeing them, one of the thin people sneered sarcastically: "Yo, isn't this Captain Liao and Deputy Sun, and Xiaoluzi is also there, tsk, the demon army has led the team members to gather, this scene is really 'rare to see, grandiose', hahaha!"

Liao Qifeng's face sank again after recovering for a long time, compared with the angry reaction of the shopkeeper Wang when he taunted before, this time he restrained a lot, and the joints of his fists "crackled", but there was no seizure.

"Brother Liao, don't care, we drink ours!" Sun Hailiang persuaded in a low voice. Judging from his tone and expression, there was also a fire in his heart.

Lu Xiaoyan continued to eat as if he hadn't heard it.

Xiao Tianhe looked at the group curiously, and the sarcastic person walked at the front, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. The man behind him was also not tall, with a stubby build, and a "superior" countenance. There were a few younger people in the back, and it was finally a little more pleasing to the eye. Finally, there is a middle-aged man with three green beards under his chin, with fair complexion, but no blood, narrow eyes, thin cheeks and thin lips. As if sensing Xiao Tianhe's eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly, twisted his beard lightly, and looked at Xiao Tianhe from a distance.

"It's a bunch of boring people again. Xiao Tianhe said secretly in his heart, so he simply turned around and continued to drink and eat. He sometimes really didn't understand what kind of satisfaction those vitriol people could get from verbal ridicule.

The four of them were silent, in fact, the matter was just over, but those people looked quite unrelenting, seeing Xiao Tianhe's fresh face, the two short men led by him walked over, and the one who sneered at him said: "I said how did your leading team have the heart to come to Wanxian Building for recreation, it turned out that a new companion was transferred." Come on, come on, why don't we join in together and wash the dust for the new miserable?" he beckoned the others to sit down at the table next to him.

"Captain Yang, we drink ours, you drink yours, our relationship is not good enough to drink together, right?"

The short and fat man answered, "Hey, that's a big deal. Although we belong to the Huaiji Camp and the Xinwang Camp, we are all ushers, aren't we? You have transferred new team members, of course we have to express our expressions! Come on, come on, let's just put together a table!" After speaking, he stood up and pushed the table to Xiao Tianhe's table with his own words.

Others humiliated the door, and I really couldn't hide if I wanted to.

Liao Qifeng's face was blue, and he silently glared at the people who came over. Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, he had been angry before, but he didn't notice that there was actually a new face among those people!

The person was the middle-aged man with three drooping beards. After a little look, Liao Qifeng really noticed his difference. his

His expression has always been calm, without the domineering looks of the other people. Liao Qifeng, the guy from the Huaiji Valley leading team, has already seen it thoroughly, and there is no one who is not a high-spirited villain, could this stranger be newly transferred?

"No, no, he clearly doesn't have a name tag on his waist!" Liao Qifeng thought to himself, "So what is his identity...... Could it be ......"

While he was thinking, Captain Yang had already filled a glass of wine and said to Liao Qifeng: "Come, Team Liao, this glass of wine is my farewell wine." We're going to leave Huaiji Valley soon, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other in the future!"

Liao Qifeng came back to his senses, others toasted, and no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't help but give face, so he also poured a full wine glass, arched his hand, and raised his head to drink dry.

Unexpectedly, Captain Yang didn't drink until Liao Qifeng put down the wine glass, he laughed coldly twice, raised his hand, and spilled the wine in the cup on the ground.

Wine is poured on the ground, which is clearly a wine ceremony to honor the dead.

Sun Hailiang couldn't help it first, and slapped it the table, and all the cups and saucers on the table shook and jumped. He stood up and pointed at Captain Yang's nose and said, "Yang Wankong! What do you mean by that? If you have a fart, you will release it at me, why do you beat around the bush like this?"

Xiao Tianhe was startled by the sound of slapping the table, looking at the tense situation between the two sides, could it be difficult to fight?

Yang Wankong leaned back in the chair nonchalantly, crossed his arms and sneered: "We're going to change the guard, and you still have to continue to be trapped here, isn't there anything wrong with me toasting like this?"

"Haha!" the other minions laughed, but the middle-aged man remained calm.

Liao Qifeng stood up and looked directly at Yang Wankong. Yang Wankong also put away her smile and got up to look at him. It's just that he is too short, and he can't reach Liao Qifeng's shoulders even if he stands straight, one person overlooks, and the other looks up.

It seemed like a fight was about to break out. The drinkers at the other tables in Wanxian Building turned to this side one after another, there was good wine to drink, and there was a lively view, which was very comfortable.

"Let's go!" Liao Qifeng spat out three words in a low voice.

"Hey, shit!" Yang Wankong sat back in his chair, his face full of disdain.

"Brother Liao?" Sun Hailiang, who knew Liao Qifeng's temper well, wondered, how did the captain who has always been hot become so cowardly this time?

"Brother Ji, with these grandsons here, we can't drink anymore. If you don't drink well today, you will make up for it another day. Liao Qifeng said loudly.

Xiao Tianhe glanced at him, comprehended, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, stood up and said with a smile: "Well, since their leaders have offered you as an ancestor, they have the right to give them some face, who let us be elders?"

The drinkers who watched the excitement were stunned for a moment, and soon understood Xiao Tianhe's sarcasm. Yang Wankong sprinkled wine to the deceased, which is actually no different from the etiquette of worshipping the ancestors.

How dare a newcomer to the guide team speak so presumptuously? Of course, the gang couldn't hold back, and got up together to fight with Xiao Tianhe and his party, and Yang Wankong even raised his hand and went straight to Xiao Tianhe's throat. A group of drinkers were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so they clapped their hands and cheered.

Of course, Xiao Tianhe's group is not vegetarian, and Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang have already suppressed their anger for a long time, so they are waiting for the other party to make the first move. Liao Qifeng, a hungry tiger pounced on the side of the sheep and directly crushed the side team under him, picking up a hammer-like fist and slamming it at his temples. Several minions on the other side rushed up and surrounded Liao Qifeng. Sun Hailiang laughed wildly, and jumped to the top of the pile, Lu Xiaoyan wiped his greasy lips, and slipped into the battle circle. Xiao Tianhe did not fight with Yang Wankong, focusing on dodging, and glanced at the middle-aged man opposite from time to time, who never made a move.

The hall of Wanxian Tower was soon in a mess, and the dishes, dishes, wine and food were scattered all over the ground, crushed into scum in the rolling and pushing of a group of people. The applause rose higher and higher, attracting many people who were watching the scene outside the gate.

"Stop it all!" suddenly erupted in a long shout from the crowd outside the building.

I don't know who shouted: "The city lord is here!" The spectators scattered one after another, and even the drinkers in the Wanxian Mansion ran away at once, leaving only these two groups of people fighting each other.

From the door came an old man with a crane hair and a childish face, his body was strong, his steps were steady, and his breath was even, and he was a master of cultivation at first glance. After glancing at the mess everywhere, the old man looked displeased.

"Yang Wankong, Liao Qifeng, you are the leading captains of the immortal and demon armies, how can you fight so inappropriately in front of the public?

Liao Qifeng straightened his clothes, bowed down and said, "Enemy City Lord, is it ours." Please forgive me for being impulsive. ”

"Qiu City Lord, we are kind enough to drink with them, they were the first to provoke!" Yang Wankong's wicked man sued first.

Of course, the city lord didn't eat his reversal of right and wrong: "Do you still have to talk more? I don't know the virtues of a few of you, how can I drink with Liao Qifeng and them calmly?"

Yang Wankong wanted to argue again, but was stabbed by the vice captain behind him, opened his mouth and closed it again. He knew that the enemy city lord in front of him was not a corner to be messed with, so it was better to be honest.

The Qiu City Lord saw everything in his eyes, snorted coldly at Yang Wankong, and said, "You clean up the Wanxian Tower for me first, and then go back to the camp, and don't enter the city again for three years!"

"Three years, Qiu City Lord, we will be transferred out in half a year! Besides, in three months, we will come to observe the lower-level Sword Immortal Evaluation Competition, look at this ......" Yang Wankong really didn't expect that Qiu City Lord's punishment would be so severe.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't enter the city, you are not allowed to enter the city! If I find out that you sneak in, hum, you should know the end!"

"Yes!" Yang Wankong replied with a sad face, and began to clean up the dirt with a team member.

"Enemy City Lord, I'm not a leading party

I also have to participate in the assessment of the lower-level sword immortals, I wonder if I can't enter the city again?" The middle-aged man with a long beard finally spoke his first sentence.

Liao Qifeng glanced at him with slanted eyes, and sure enough, he should be the Ascendant who Lu Xiaoyan said had only been in the triple house for nine years.

"You're a newly ascended immortal cultivator, right? I've also heard that you've only been used to it in the Triple House for nine years, and your ability is not low!"

"Where, the enemy city lord has praised it falsely, how can I dare to call myself a master here. The middle-aged man smiled indifferently.

The Qiu City Lord nodded, as if he admired his humble attitude very much, and saw that he was clean, but he knew that he did not participate in the fight, so he said: "Today's matter has nothing to do with you, so you naturally don't have to be punished." ”

Seeing this, Liao Qifeng hurriedly pulled Xiao Tianhe forward from behind him: "Qiu City Lord, this Brother Xiao is not a member of the leading team, and he also has to participate in the assessment of the lower-level sword demons, so he doesn't have to be punished, right?"

"Oh?" Qiu City Lord glanced at Xiao Tianhe, although there was no wine and meat on his body, but there were obvious traces of a fight, you saw the name tag on his waist, Qiu City Lord was dissatisfied, "Since you are not a member of the leading team, then why do you wear a name tag to pretend? Not only that, but he also participated in the brawl! I will deprive him of the qualification to participate in the evaluation competition this year, and wait for the next time in ten years!"

"Puff ......" The little minions of the Immortal Clan's leading team laughed gloatingly, and only after being glared at Yang Wankong fiercely did they hold back their laughter.

Liao Qifeng was anxious: "Qiu City Lord, it was my idea for Brother Xiao to take a famous brand, mainly because I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble after entering Feiyun City." Besides, he was involved in the brawl and was involved by us and others, even if he didn't fight, he couldn't be unguarded, right?"

"Heh, in my Feiyun City, do you want to talk about any unnecessary troubles? The candidates who came from other places all kept to themselves and prepared for themselves, but he came to Wanxian Tower to drink and make trouble, who would not punish him? Whoever interceded for him would be punished more heavily!" the Qiu City Lord reprimanded.

Liao Qifeng sighed and said to Xiao Tianhe: "I just wanted to wash the dust for Brother Xiao, but I didn't want to cause many incidents. I'm sorry Brother Xiao, I have to expose your secret in advance now!" Then, he said to the city lord: "Revenge city lord, Brother Xiao is also a soarer, and he doesn't understand the rules of the Yu Yu realm, so I beg forgiveness this time!"

"Ascendant?" Everyone present was taken aback except for Liao Qifeng and the other four.

"You don't want to trick me!" the Qiu City Lord looked at Xiao Tianhe again in disbelief.

"How dare you deceive the city lord? Liao Qifeng said.

The Qiu City Lord stepped in front of Xiao Tianhe and grabbed his arm. Suddenly, Xiao Tianhe felt a surge of power pouring in from the pulse mouth, and he understood that the Qiu City Lord was testing his body. Judging from this unfamiliar skill, the city lord should also be an immortal cultivator.

"Sure enough......" After a moment, the enemy city lord let go of his hand. In fact, it is very simple to test whether a primary cultivator is an ascended person, because the dantian and meridians that directly cultivate the power of the Buddha are not the same as the dantian and meridians that first cultivate the power of the Xuan and then turn into the power of the Buddha.

It was confirmed by the city lord of the enemy, and Yang Wankong had to believe it even if they didn't believe it. For more than 700 years, there has not been a single ascender's demonic path, and finally a successor has arrived! This is not a trivial matter, it proves that the demonic path of the nether realm has not been destroyed! There is an ascender, which means that there will be other ascenders!

"This news has to be reported immediately...... Yang Wan said hollowly. He hurriedly bowed his hand to the enemy city lord and led a group of team members to leave Wanxian Tower in a hurry.

The Immortal Clan's Ascendant glanced at Xiao Tianhe curiously, and said softly as he passed by Xiao Tianhe's side, "There are still demon cultivators in the Blue Dragon Continent? After all, the Qinglong Continent only has spiritual energy, and it is guarded by a hidden sword immortal, how can a demon cultivator hide? It is too ridiculous to be able to cultivate to the point of transcending the tribulation and soaring.

Xiao Tianhe smiled slightly: "The Great Red Realm is far from being as simple as you think. Blue Dragon Continent...... Heh, I don't know what sect Brother Tai comes from?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still answered Xiao Tianhe's question: "Before the Mahayana period, I belonged to the Qinglong Sect, the Canghai Vein. After the Mahayana period, he broke away from the sect according to the rules. Brother Xiao, under Fu Guangxian. I don't have time to say much today, you and I will meet again. Say goodbye first!" After speaking, he chased out of Wanxian Tower.

"Captain Liao, the Demon Clan has ushered in a new Ascendant, why don't you report such a big matter to me immediately?" asked the Qiu City Lord.

"Back to the city lord, I have already reported to my superiors, it's not that the name plate has not been made yet, it is inconvenient to enter the city, but I can't help but want to celebrate. The city lord must also know that Xiao Sun and I have been guarding the Xinwang camp for more than a hundred years, and it is really too hard...... "Liao Qifeng explained aggrievedly. In fact, the Qiu City Lord is a member of the Immortal Clan, but he is only the manager of Feiyun City, and he is not responsible for supervising the Immortal Army Receiving Team in Huaiji Valley, and as for the Demon Army Guiding Team in Xinwangpo, he can't control it. It's just that the people in power have a good face, and the immortal clan in the Ascension Zone has suppressed the demon clan for many years, and the enemy city lord has long been accustomed to everyone's respect for him.

"Hmm...... Two hundred years of shifts, this time is indeed too long. It's good to say to our immortal clan, there will be one ascender every few decades on average, and it will be ...... for you demons That's it, compared to the predecessors, you can be regarded as lucky, isn't this the emergence of a new Demon Ascendant?" The Qiu City Lord turned to Xiao Tianhe and asked, "This little brother, I don't know what you call it, how many years have you adapted to it in the Triple House?"

"In the Lower Xiao Tianhe. Thirteen years in a triple house. Xiao Tianhe said a lie. After all, he didn't want to be so eye-catching. According to what Liao Qifeng said before, it takes about twelve years for people with average qualifications to adapt to the coercion of the Yuyu Realm, so it is more reasonable for him to talk nonsense about "thirteen years".

Unexpectedly, the Qiu City Lord sneered and pointed at Xiao Tianhe: "You are lying!"
