Chapter 262: Colorful Phoenix Feathers
() After learning that Du Huairou was also from the demon clan of the Yuyu Realm, Xiao Tianhe did not seem very shocked. It's no wonder that the information he heard from Du Huairou was all a big secret of "earth-shattering ghosts and gods", how could he be surprised?
But when he asked Du Huairou what kind of demon clan he was, Du Huairou's concealment made him more and more curious. He kept pestering, at first Du Huairou pretended not to hear, and kept fiddling with the casting materials in the box, but then he was really annoyed by Xiao Tianhe's question, and said helplessly: "You are really annoying." It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise to keep it a secret for me!"
Xiao Tianhe nodded solemnly and raised a hand: "No problem." If you don't, I can swear. ”
"Not really. Du Huairou stared into his eyes, "I am the Colorful Phoenix Feather Divine Bird." ”
"Colorful Phoenix Feather Divine Bird......" Xiao Tianhe muttered and repeated, "How do I feel familiar with this name...... Are you a phoenix?"
"The phoenix is a rare spirit bird, and I'm not that powerful. Du Huairou waved his hand, "Don't think about it, the demon clan in the Yuyu realm is different from the demon beasts in the Great Red Realm, and you don't know how many types you have never heard of!"
"No, I'm sure I've heard of this name, where is it......" Xiao Tianhe held his chin in thought.
"You haven't been to the Yuyu Realm, or you heard it from Brother Shi. ”
"Not really. Shi Haoming never mentioned you at all. Xiao Tianhe shook his head in denial, and suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Ah! I remembered, 'Colorful Phoenix Feather', isn't that the name of a dish?" Immediately, he couldn't help laughing, pointed at Du Huairou and smiled: "What kind of divine bird should I be, it turns out to be a chicken!"
"What's the damn name of the dish, what's the name......" Du Huairou muttered in annoyance, "What's wrong with the chickens? In the Yuyu Realm, I am a rare divine bird in the Demon Clan's Feather Division, and 'Colorful Phoenix Feather' is my nickname! Smile and smile, I'll make you laugh again!" she pinched Xiao Tianhe hard.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, but I didn't expect your nickname to happen to have the same name as the food in the restaurant. What did you mean by the 'Demon Clan Feather Division' just now?" Xiao Tianhe asked.
Du Huairou explained: "There are many types of demon clans, and it is inconvenient to command, so the leaders divide the clan into five major divisions: insect department, scale department, intermediate department, feather department, and beast department, and divide and manage them, so that the upper and lower systems of the demon clan are orderly. For example, our feather department, the current demon king is Dapeng. ”
"Hmm...... I'm really getting more and more curious, who is the leader of the demon clan?"
Du Huairou sighed regretfully: "Demon Spirit Emperor, supreme, I have no chance to see it." ”
"Why are the leaders so mysterious? Now the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Flame Continent is the same. ”
"Demon Lord, heh, it's just a little thief who steals treasures, if it weren't for Yan'er and a few of them, I would have killed him a long time ago!" Du Huairou said contemptuously.
"It's time to tell me about the relationship between you and the Demon Lord, I think Shi Haoming's request for you is not as simple as teaching me how to forge a sword. "Xiao Tian Dao.
"Teaching you how to forge knives is just a whim. Let's go back to the living room and talk about it. Du Huairou pulled Xiao Tianhe out of the room.
After Du Huairou's detailed narration, Xiao Tianhe finally understood everything thoroughly.
After a thief stole Meng Zhangpei, he hurriedly consumed most of his Yuan power, passed through the passage opened by the White Sword Patriarch, and descended from the Yuyu Realm to the Great Red Realm, separating the chasing people at the other end of the passage.
Although Meng Zhangpei has been refined by the original owner, the thief is not helpless. Because the two worlds are separated, as long as he perseveres to weaken the soul mark left on the magic weapon by the original owner, and integrates his own soul mark into it, over time, he will naturally become Meng Zhangpei's new master. And the original owner of the Yuyu realm couldn't do anything about it at all. Although the process of erasing the mark is extremely long, in this great red realm, the thief has time.
But to the thief's surprise, the Heavenly Flame Continent did not have the slightest aura. Without aura, the thief would not be able to transform and replenish the Yuan Power in his body, in other words, when the Yuan Power was depleted due to the Wear and Tear Mark, he would quickly age and die. Not only that, but the thief also realizes that in a world of Xuan Qi, he will inevitably become an alien, so he urgently needs to find a way to continue his life and protect himself.
He pinned his hopes on the demon clan in Meng Zhangpei. Everyone in the Yuyu world knows that the demon clan has a different law, which can be done by people. As a result, the thief hid in the chaos of the immortal and demon war, and disguised himself as a demon cultivator at the right time, and became the supreme leader of the demon cultivator clan - the demon lord. He divided the world into five, east, west, north and south to a large family, and he lived in the forbidden place in the middle - the core. At the same time, he assigned twelve of the eighteen peerless magic swords that threatened him to the four major families, and hid the six swords of the strongest in the core, creating a balanced and prosperous world.
But the demon lord will definitely not sit idly by and watch the demon cultivators grow stronger and stronger, so he set up a selection system of the "Demon Treasure Conference - Fengyun Conference" to include talented demon cultivators in the core and kill them. This is also the so-called "strangling danger in the cradle". Not only that, when the power of the four major families becomes more and more powerful, he will definitely look for an opportunity to secretly stir up trouble and provoke the "Four Directions War in the World", with the aim of drastically reducing the number of demon cultivators. The Demon Lord was happy to see the situation of the Heavenly Flame Continent in ruins, after all, the fewer demon cultivators, the more peaceful he was.
After consolidating his rule, the Demon Lord consumed almost the remaining Yuan Power to refine Meng Zhangpei. When he discovered that the Blue Yuan Stone occasionally appeared in the Sky Flame Continent, he ordered a large-scale search, because the Blue Yuan Stone was the only thing in the world that could replenish his Yuan Power.
Finally, the demon lord wiped out most of the soul marks of Meng Zhangpei's original owner, and although he had not yet finished refining Meng Zhangpei, he could finally make several demon women in Meng Zhangpei's realm obey him. Shi Haoming is because of his superb demon power, and the demon lord can't completely control him. But the four demon clans in the Meng Zhang realm have deep feelings, and for the sake of the three girls, Shi Haoming didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the demon lord.
To the delight of the demon lord, the demon clan really has a strange way to prolong life - seizure. To put it simply, it consumes a large amount of demonic power to destroy the souls of others, thus occupying their bodies. The demon lord who originally planned to refine Meng Zhangpei and then fly back to the Yuyu realm suddenly burst into a thought: "In this Great Red Realm, I am the only one in the heavens and the earth, and I can live forever with the help of snatching away, so why bother."
What about returning to the dangerous Yu Yu Realm?" In this way, the recovery of Yuan Li is not so important, and the killing of demon cultivators can be done by a few demon clans in the Meng Zhang Realm.
The demon lord has one more heart. Although he didn't have to fly back to the Yuyu Realm, he still planned to refine Meng Zhangpei in order to completely control Shi Haoming, because if one day Shi Haoming no longer cared about the life and death of the three demon girls, then he would be the biggest threat to the demon lord. From then on, every time the demon lord collected a blue yuan stone, he had to use the restored yuan power to refine Meng Zhangpei, so that he could not only achieve his goal, but also not make his yuan power too prosperous and fly back to the Yu Yu realm.
However, since the Heavenly Flame Continent was full of demon cultivators, the Xuan Power collapsed after the seizure, and what was re-injected was the Yuan Force that was running in reverse and was more powerful, so it was necessary to seek someone with a strong physique and a wide meridian. Therefore, the demon lord selects people with excellent qualifications from the Fengyun Conference and cultivates them until they grow to the point where they are suitable to be taken away.
There are three outcomes for those who participate in the Storm Cloud Conference.
First, those with excellent qualifications will be selected by the demon lord to stay in the core to continue cultivating, and when the time is right, they will be taken away.
Second, most of the people with relatively low qualifications will die in difficulties.
The third type, people with low qualifications and low qualifications will be released from the Meng Zhang realm after the demon clan in the Meng Zhang realm will control their souls with drugs, and from then on they will become a walking corpse who can only practice wildly. After cultivating to the realm of tribulation, enter the core for the demon lord to screen.
And Xiao Tianhe is the next target of the demon lord. As for why Xiao Tianhe was released from the Meng Zhang realm, Du Huairou also did not know.
Xiao Tianhe was horrified when he heard it. It turns out that Shi Haoming said that "the demon lord has been eyeing you for a long time" refers to this!
"Didn't you say that Meng Zhangpei's master was the god of Meng Zhang's realm?, then how did you escape from Meng Zhang's realm?" Xiao Tianhe was puzzled.
"I don't belong to the Meng Zhang Realm in the first place, so before refining Meng Zhangpei, the Demon Lord naturally couldn't trap me, so I just came out. Du Huairou replied very easily.
"You mean, Shi Haoming and they will always be Meng Zhangpei's subordinates, and they will never be able to turn over? In his opinion, the demon clan has opened its spiritual wisdom and cultivated into a human form, which is no different from a human being. From this point of view, Meng Zhangpei is clearly an evil treasure that enslaves others.
Du Huairou thought for a while: "It's okay to say that." When the demon spirit orb and the attribute gems of the four ** treasures are fused into the life grid, there are only two ways to get rid of it: first, the demon clan dies, and the life grid naturally collapses; second, the owner of the magic weapon takes the initiative to strip the demon spirit orb from the life grid. ”
"Tsk, death is nothing more than dying in battle, committing suicide or being killed by the owner of the magic weapon, and this method of death is inevitably too 'liberating'...... The second method is quite promising, I mean, if the owner of the magic weapon is kind-hearted. "Xiao Tian Dao.
Du Huairou sighed: "Alas...... It's too difficult! Unless we catch a stronger demon clan as a replacement, who will let go of a powerful and loyal subordinate? Not to mention that the human beings in the Yu Yu Realm originally hated my demon clan...... Besides, after a long period of inheritance, the demon clans in the magic weapon are all of good strength, where is the owner of the magic weapon willing to put it...... What's more, the attribute gems of the four ** treasures are not fused with all the demon spirit orbs, so the requirements for the types of subordinate demon clans are very strict, and it is not easy to find the same demon clan to replace them!
"What an ironic 'loyalty', taking the lives of others to order it, it's not glorious!" Xiao Tianhe disliked the four ** treasures more and more, "What about the original demon clan of the three palaces that are empty in Meng Zhangjie?"
"I don't know the old things in Meng Zhangjie. But I heard Shi Haoming say that there were two palaces that were empty when he entered the Meng Zhang realm. The demon clan of the other palace was killed in battle a long time ago. Perhaps, this is the ultimate fate of us, it's just that it comes early and late......" Du Huairou looked lonely.
Xiao Tianhe comforted her: "Leaving the Yuyu Realm like you is not equivalent to freedom? You are much luckier than Shi Haoming and them." ”
Du Huairou smiled bitterly: "This 'freedom' is dangerous! My body is in the lower realm, but my life is still in the prison realm! If the master is ruthless, I will die immediately and have no place to bury." ”
"I see. But fortunately, your master doesn't seem to mean that, otherwise how could you have been safe and sound for hundreds of years?"
"That's not going to work either. If you can't command me, sooner or later your master will be murderous. There may be two reasons why I'm okay now: first, the master hasn't caught the demon clan who replaced me, and second, the master is waiting for the demon lord to take Meng Zhangpei back to the Yuyu realm. So every moment I stay in the Great Equatorial Realm, I am in more danger. ”
Xiao Tianhe nodded and said, "Yes." If the Overseer changes hands again, and is a ruthless man, you will be even more dangerous. ”
"You're in a much more dangerous situation than I am. This body of the demon lord is nearing the limit, and the matter of taking it is imminent. Although I don't know why he released you from the Meng Zhang Realm before, no matter what, your current body has reached the standard of taking away. Shi Hao asked me to go out of the customs just for this matter. Seeing Xiao Tianhe's serious expression, Du Huairou suddenly smiled and said, "What's the matter, you're scared?"
"With you, what am I afraid of?" Xiao Tianhe shook his head, "But I'm very strange, since you don't belong to the Meng Zhang Realm, and you are not bound by the Demon Lord, then why don't you kill the Demon Lord directly? With your ability, I'm afraid it's not difficult, right?"
Du Huairou waved her hand again and again: "Absolutely not." Since Meng Zhangpei's original owner did not die, it was different from the previous situation when the magic weapon changed hands. The demon lord must wear down Meng Zhang's original soul mark little by little, and integrate it into his own soul mark. If the Demon Lord is killed, as his part of the soul mark collapses, and the residual soul mark on Meng Zhangpei is not enough to support the seven attribute gems, the life grid formed by the fusion of the gem and the demon spirit orb will collapse, and Brother Shi's life will most likely be lost. ”
"I understand, after killing the Demon Lord, there must be a new soul mark added to it in order to complete the process of Meng Zhangpei's change of ownership, right?" Xiao Tianhe said, "Then after killing the Demon Lord, find a powerful demon cultivator to refine Meng Zhangpei, and after he cultivates into a sword demon, you can also return to the Yuyu Realm, why wait for hundreds of years?"
"Magic weapon refining is not that
It's simple. In the past, when the magic weapon changed hands, there were at most two soul marks at the same time, but this time the situation was different - the soul mark left by the original owner, the soul mark that the demon lord had not dissipated, and the soul mark of the new master, obediently, so many mixed soul marks would make the Meng Zhang realm completely collapse! Besides, under the strict control of the demon master, it is not easy to find a new master who is qualified in heart and strength! If you wait for the demon lord to finish refining Meng Zhangpei and then kill him to find a new master, although you can avoid Meng Zhangpei being damaged because he has three soul marks at the same time, I don't know how long I will have to wait until that moment, and I don't know if I can successfully find a suitable new master, let alone if I am still alive at that time...... Fortunately, we have waited for so long, and finally we have the right person, and it is you!"
"Ah...... Are you going to wait for the Demon Lord to completely refine Meng Zhangpei before you do it?" Xiao Tianhe asked.
"Of course not. Once the Demon Lord completely controls Shi Haoming, even I am not sure that I will be able to kill him cleanly. Besides, if he dies, he will be burned with jade, then Yan'er and they will ......" Du Huairou shook his head slightly, "Besides, the Demon Lord is already preparing to take you away, so we must kill Meng Zhangpei before he completely refines him!"
"That demon lord is dead, I have to refine Meng Zhangpei before the collapse of the Meng Zhang Realm, isn't there also three soul marks that exist at the same time?
"Definitely. Because Meng Zhangpei was cast in the Yuyu Realm, in the Great Red Realm where there is no Yuan and Meng Qi, you can only refine Meng Zhangpei if you don't let Meng Zhangpei's attribute gems shatter and wait for the Demon Lord's soul imprint to slowly dissipate. Du Huairou explained.
"Oh, is there any way to do that?"
"At least in the Sky Flame Continent, there is nothing there can do. Du Huairou paused, "Unless you can find a place that contains enough Yuan and Meng Qi." ”
"Ahh
"That's right, Brother Shi, they originally paid special attention to you because the Demon Lord chose you as the next body to take away, but they didn't expect to find out that you have a huge secret. At first, we guessed from the treasure knife in your body that you should have a sword demon master from the Yuyu realm. However, at the beginning, only the Sword Immortal came to the Heavenly Flame Continent from the Nether Realm, so you must have crossed the sea from another Spiritual Qi Continent.
Brother Shi had already speculated that the occasional Red Flame Stone and Blue Yuan Stone in the Heavenly Flame Continent must have been produced in the Misty Sea, that is to say, only you can find the origin of the Red Stone and Blue Yuan Stone! In this way, the plan after that should be born: first of all, you must not be taken away, so Brother Shi warned you not to enter the core, secondly, he would consider how to kill the Demon Lord, and finally let you refine Meng Zhangpei, wait for you to cross the tribulation and ascend, and bring us back to the Yuyu Realm, with your qualifications, this step is not difficult, the key is the first two steps. Du Huai Judo.
Shi Haoming...... A smart guy indeed. Xiao Tianhe praised sincerely, "Having said so much, you haven't told me about your experience." You are a demon clan, how did you become a master of sword casting, and how do you channel Xuan Qi into the knife embryo when you cast?"
Du Huairou smiled, and that bright smile made Xiao Tianhe feel like a spring breeze: "Do you want to know me very much?"
Xiao Tianhe couldn't cry or laugh: "You and I have known each other for less than half a month, this is really 'long'!"
"Hee-hee. That's it, I won't tease you. Soon after the Demon Lord came to the Great Red Realm, I came out of the Meng Zhang Realm. That's why he didn't know I existed. After Shi Haoming and I secretly agreed on a plan, we have been waiting for the right person to appear. Because I am freer than they are, the burden of recruiting candidates falls on my shoulders. For more than 500 years, I have been making covert visits, but I have found nothing. Later, I suddenly realized that in order to recruit candidates, you need to have a wide network. If you want to have a wide network, you must have a certain status. You know, it's not easy for people with no background to make a difference in the Sky Flame Continent, so I came up with a way to become a knife casting master, and as for how to cast a knife, you'll know when you observe. How is it, I'm pretty good, right?" Du Huairou triumphant.
"Indeed, you are really good at the way of swordsmithing. But what about the business of recruiting candidates? In the end, it wasn't Shi Haoming who found out about me?" Xiao Tianhe said sarcastically.
Du Huairou pursed her lips disappreciatively: "Anyone will get bored sometimes! Seeing that groups of demon cultivators have come to worship me as a teacher, none of them are suitable for us to implement the plan. It's been hundreds of years, and I'm tired. Later, I also figured out that what should come will always come, everything is fate. There is a saying, 'Hit sometimes has to have, hit no time to force it.' 'You see, when we didn't deliberately look for it, didn't you, the 'destined' person, also appear?"
"Well, after you appeared, you played tricks on me, and you weren't afraid to trick me away!"
"Hey, that's a coincidence. I re-emerged this time to cast a knife in the public just to attract you to come, but I don't want you and me to meet in Xipinghai in advance. I've been suppressed for too long, and I'm just looking for fun with you, so you shouldn't hold a grudge against me for the rest of your life, right? Besides, soon outsiders will know that I am your 'wife', and you will earn a beautiful, capable and powerful wife for nothing, so you will steal the fun!" Du Huairou snorted.
"What's the joy of 'fake couples', how do you know I'm going to watch you forge a sword?"
Du Huairou said with a smile: "Last time Deng Xianjue went to cast a knife in Nangong Mansion, I also went to the fight between you and Deng Fatzi, but I saw it from the beginning to the end, it seems that you are very interested in the way of casting! I'm very smart!"
"Why didn't I see you?" Xiao Tianhe carefully recalled the people who were present at the time, and there was definitely no Du Huairou.
"Hey, with my level, can you still find out, even Nangong Yan and those elders can't notice it at all!" Du Huairou's face was full of disdain, "Compared to this, I care more about what you said just now, it's just a 'fake couple', it's really nothing fun...... Hehe, you mean, if we become a real couple, you'll be satisfied, won't you?" she smiled and posted it again.
Xiao Tianhe was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and retreated: "Ah, no, no! I didn't mean that, don't ...... like this."
