"This is the endless clear sky above the tree cover, and the first person in the world is really a good vision. ”

Behind Zhou Yu, Xu Bailian paced as he spoke, leisurely above the clouds, and with his walking, the mottled shadows cast from the canopy of the trees also swayed.

Obviously, the two of them were still under the cover of branches and leaves, but Xu Bailian said that it was on the canopy of the tree, which sounded like a slight speech problem, but as soon as the words came out, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing.

Yes, it's an endless clear sky above the tree canopy.

On the canopy of the immortal tree, outside the clouds, outside the sky, it is a place that cannot be covered by the magic energy network that envelops the territory of human civilization, day and night have lost their meaning again, when Zhou Yu wants to raise his eyes and look far away, even if the night is as dark as ink under the clouds, the clouds will still be as bright as day, the so-called endless clear sky, more in the praise of Zhou Yu's magical power has reached the realm of changing the sky and changing the day, omnipotent.

But this kind of glorification rhetoric is clearly not to the liking of Xu Bailian, who used to refer to it as "a place outside the law", and he had never set foot in this place before.

"I invited you to come before, but you never wanted to come, why do you want to open it now?"

Xu Bailian said: "After a test of life and death, of course, the horizon will be broadened. ”

So Zhou Yu finally turned around and said, "This time your life and death calamity is not what I expected. ”

"Something outside the sky, of course, is not expected by the first person in the world. A slightly familiar look of mockery finally appeared on Xu Bailian's face.

Zhou Yu stared at him closely, and his distant gaze shuttled through countless time and space in an instant to determine the identity of the person in front of him.

Xu Bailian, whom he is familiar with, is a paranoid who ignites a volcano in his heart, his childhood experience, no, it should be said that all kinds of unfortunate experiences throughout his life are exacerbating this paranoia, no matter in the face of anyone, Xu Bailian will show strong aggression, even in the face of the first person in the world, it is only slightly restrained, but his nature is difficult to change.

And the gentle tone just now is really like two people.

What's more, it was contaminated with a foreign body outside the sky, and it was directly replaced with "memory" as the medium, even the grandmaster was not lucky, at that moment, not only Zhu Junshen, but also Zhou Yu, who was far away in Shengyuan, had also sentenced Xu Bailian to death in his heart.

But I didn't want him to survive! Even the replacement of supernatural powers has gone to the next level, and he can cross the ocean in an instant, from Hongshan City to the endless clear sky above the tree cover, and Xu Bailian would never be able to do it in the past!

This kind of miracle of reversing life and death is unique in Zhou Yu's 200 years of life, and such an abnormal thing will naturally arouse Zhou Yu's high vigilance.

But no matter what kind of perspective you look at it - using the "ancient view" to trace back to a thousand years ago to lock his bloodline, or using the "plane view" to examine his "abnormality" from the "seventeenth plane" - Zhou Yu can't see that there is anything wrong with it, and the person in front of him is undoubtedly Xu Bailian.

The body that had been transformed by the forbidden and riddled with holes, the two bloodlines that contained the twists of his life, and the replacement supernatural power that condensed his anger, were all the same as before.

Therefore, if a person looks like Xu Bailian, the magic energy fluctuations are like Xu Bailian, and the supernatural imprint is like Xu Bailian, then even if there are one or two things that are not so Xu Bailian, he can only be Xu Bailian.

For a demon Taoist, a person's temperament can be distorted, and his style of behavior can change greatly, but magic energy cannot be changed.

Zhou Yu pondered for a long time, lowered his gaze slightly, and said, "So, what is your opinion on things outside the sky?"

Xu Bailian did not directly respond to Zhou Yu's question, but slowly came to Zhou Yu's side, stood side by side with the first person in the world for the first time, and sighed softly: "The so-called high place is not cold, it turns out that this is how it feels. I've always thought that although you are the best in the world, you are not a true seeker. ”

Zhou Yu's heart moved, and he didn't speak.

Xu Bailian said: "Standing in this position, as far as the eye can see, hundreds of millions of living beings are drifting like ants, probably no one will have the heart to seek the Tao anymore, and the speaker you are nearly two hundred years old, I am afraid it will be difficult to have further energy." ”

"Hey. Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, although this tone was slightly different from the previous Xu Bailian, but the strong aggression that was not concealed at all was still the same as his magic energy fluctuations, unique and distinctive.

Regarding Xu Bailian's remarks, Zhou Yu gave a positive response.

"Yes, I'm no longer a seeker, and since I've been in this position, I've only been a guardian. But over the past hundred years, I have eliminated countless seekers, who think they are alone, and invaders who are plotting against them. So, what exactly is your opinion on foreign objects outside the sky?"

The second time he asked, Zhou Yu's voice was already cold.

In fact, Zhou Yu has never been really polite to Xu Bailian, and the first person in the world has never needed to be polite to anyone. Xu Bailian became a grandmaster half by chance, standing in the position of Zhou Yu, he has never been happy to see a grandmaster outside the immortal tree! It is just a matter of taking root in a foreign country like Zhu Junshen, but Xu Bailian lives under his nose!

Therefore, Zhou Yu could not hesitate to set up a plan to send the grandmaster to the Qin State as an abandoned son to be humiliated, Zhou Yu, who has a clear sky perspective, has already expected the catastrophe that Xu Bailian will experience when he leads the team, but anyway, they don't care about this catastrophe, but they hit it off...... And what Zhou Yu didn't say was also the deep intention he really put his mind on, but it was the layout for Xu Bailian to touch Bai Xiao.

Ever since the tribesman who exuded a peculiar aura left the north, Zhou Yu had been planning to make deep contact with him.

Naturally, it is the most convenient in the Blur Domain, but it is not a good choice, the viewing angle is limited, and Zhou Yu does not think that Bai Xiao in the Blur Domain can represent the real Bai Xiao. So you must meet him in reality, but Zhou Yu himself is almost locked in the clouds, so he can only send the chess pieces to try.

And Xu Bailian is the most powerful chess piece.

After sending him to the Qin State, it is almost certain that he will come into contact with Bai Xiao and then clash, and no matter what the outcome of the conflict is, Zhou Yu can also read what he wants from the result. It's just that Zhou Yu didn't expect that the dignified grandmaster could survive Ying Ruoying's sudden attack that almost surpassed cause and effect, but he almost died at the hands of Bai Xiao.

But in any case, Xu Bailian's performance has completely exceeded expectations, and his conflict with Bai Xiao involves the issue that Zhou Yu is most concerned about: foreign objects. And Xu Bailian did not die in Hongshan City, but replaced himself unscathed to the endless clear sky.

It's simply a nirvana rebirth.

Therefore, the current Xu Bailian is no longer just a chess piece in the eyes of Zhou Yu, but an incomparably rare material.

Of course, it's just material.

Zhou Yu has been the first person in the world for a hundred years, and in the past hundred years, the seats of the thirteen grandmasters have changed several batches like flowing water, but only Zhou Yu has remained unmoved and dominated the leader, so ...... The so-called grandmaster, in his opinion, is nothing more than that.

Xu Bailian was reborn in Nirvana, and his supernatural powers made a breakthrough, but since he came outside this tree cover, he was in the place of death, and Zhou Yu had the ability to kill him and take him away.

If Xu Bailian is willing to communicate frankly, everything will be fine, and if he refuses, Zhou Yu will not mind extracting the materials by himself.

Xu Bailian smiled back at the coldness of the first person in the world: "It's not a big deal, although the toxicity is indeed very heavy...... However, it is not something that will be widely disseminated. ”

Zhou Yu nodded imperceptibly, signaling that he was listening.

Xu Bailian said: "It should be a kind of parasite, which can be classified as the seventh category of foreign bodies, using the invisible as the transmission channel and the tangible to draw vitality, which is highly toxic to human beings, but it is also because of the excessive toxicity that it does not have the ability to spread on a large scale, because the host will die too quickly, and its appetite is too great." Of course, Bai Xiao is really a special case, his forbidden demon body has a strong suppressive effect on foreign bodies, so that after the foreign body is parasitic from the sky, it can only be in an invisible state of suspended animation, if I don't ignorantly replace my memory with it and activate it, it may be suffocated to death on Bai Xiao! It's a pity that I opened the replacement channel, giving it a chance to parasitize, it followed the channel I opened with my own hands, bypassing all my external defenses and reaching the body, and fully erupted. And it was so poisonous that even I couldn't bear it, and at that time, I was indeed to die. ”

Zhou Yu continued to nod, Xu Bailian said this, the content was still expected, and under the endless clear sky, Xu Bailian had no possibility of lying.

"So I'm not unharmed and unscathed, but I've died once indeed. As he spoke, Xu Bailian raised his gaze and looked at Zhou Yu fearlessly, "Fortunately, it is limited to physical death, and I have never placed too high expectations on my physical body, this death is tantamount to rebirth for me, and the benefits I get from it are far more than just one death." ”

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time.

Because he needed some time to digest Xu Bailian's rhetoric.

First of all, in the endless clear sky, it is impossible for Xu Bailian to lie - even Zhu Junshen, who is at his peak and can almost compete with Zhou Yu, cannot lie to Zhou Yu in the endless clear sky - but this actually has no meaning, because the truth may also contain traps and crises.

Unless Zhou Yu directly tore through all of Xu Bailian's mental defenses and read his deepest consciousness...... But that's tantamount to extracting the material directly.

Zhou Yu doesn't like Xu Bailian, and even stands in the position of a guardian, Xu Bailian's death may be a better result, but also in the position of a guardian, he must not rashly "take the initiative".

Then, if you trust every word Xu Bailian said—even if it is doubtful, there is no direction of doubt—and things make sense.

The hole that Bai Xiao accidentally opened in the Red Mountain Mother's Nest attracted the attention of a large number of foreign objects, but fortunately, the hole was only open for a moment, which was not enough for those behemoths to lock the direction, and only some little guys had the opportunity to sneak in.

And most of these little guys, in fact, do not have the ability to survive in the world.

The two continents, the east and the west, are fertile ground for human civilization to thrive, but they may be purgatory for foreign objects. Temperature, air, gravity, ...... Any element can be deadly and highly toxic.

Therefore, when he noticed that the hole was opened, although Zhou Yu was frightened, he did not pay too much attention to it, after all, it is not uncommon - even in the Eastern Continent, where the immortal tree is completely blessed, there will be holes every year due to various conditions, but there will not be a torch-like snow mountain tribesman in the dark night to attract foreign objects there, and there will be foreign objects that invade the Eastern Continent every few years, most of the living creatures die quickly, and a very small number of them are made into specimens, which completely threaten human civilization under the protection of the immortal tree.

And the follow-up development also seems to confirm Zhou Yu's conjecture: there are holes opened in the western continent and foreign bodies invading, but the foreign bodies are difficult to adapt to the human environment, and in the end, they are still gone.

It wasn't until Xu Bailian was parasitic infected and fell on the verge of life and death that Zhou Yu was really surprised, that foreign body was so tenacious?!

If it weren't for Xu Bailian running to the endless clear sky, Zhou Yu might not have been able to stay calm in the clouds all the time, and as a last resort, he could only go to Qin Country in person to find out.

Fortunately, Xu Bailian finally came back, and brought quite good news, the foreign body has been removed, and he himself has been reborn, so as the leader of Shengyuan, what can he do at this time......

"Then congratulations. ”

"Haha, why would the speaker say such a disobedient thing on his own territory?" Xu Bailian sneered, "I didn't die, but was reborn from the fire, which is a heartache for you." Your carefully cultivated reserve will have to endure a few more years of seniority before he can touch the apocalypse, and I have been blessed by misfortune, and the fatal wounds of my body have been repaired half after I have come back from the dead, and he may not be able to survive me! Will the reserve force that has no hope of advancing still obey you? And if you think about it further, if that reserve is no longer stable, will the reserve force of the reserve not have new ideas? Your Excellency, if I mess up the corner of your elaborate chess game, don't force yourself to laugh, as if I can't laugh now. ”

Zhou Yu ignored the increasingly unscrupulous ridicule, but looked away and looked back at the distant Western Continent.

Xu Bailian vented his anger, but also restrained his voice, and also looked to the west.

"I am a man who has always had revenge. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, Xu Bailian was indeed like this by nature, even to the person he loved the most, so he ......

"The humiliation suffered in the Western Continent, I want to redouble it back, Ying Ruoying, Bai Xiao, I will not let go of any Qin person...... But my lord, this time, I don't want to be your pawn anymore. ”

Zhou Yu groaned for a moment, turned around, and broke off a slightly drooping branch from the leafy tree behind him.

"This is given to you as compensation from the council. ”

Xu Bailian hesitated, and stopped in place for a long time before reaching out and lightly touching the branch.

The next moment, a wave of greenery bloomed on Xu Bailian's hand, reflecting the pale face of different colors.

Xu Bailian smiled smugly: "Okay, let's write it off between us." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Yu frowned slightly, and asked an almost inconsequential question.

"Yang Yu is okay?"

Xu Bailian clenched the branch and replied indifferently: "Of course it's okay, how can I have anything to do with that kind of goods?" If you don't believe it, please feel free to check." ”

Zhou Yu finally didn't say anything, waved his hand, and opened a passage to the dark night on the clouds under Xu Bailian's feet, and Xu Bailian didn't struggle, and was sent out of the endless clear sky.

And the next moment, he returned to Red Mountain City in the Western Continent.

——

At this time, it was late at night in Hongshan City, which was known as the second white night city, and finally showed fatigue after experiencing a noisy scene during the day, and the night market that had been up all night in the past had turned off the lights early, and the energetic men and women finally couldn't support it after discussing the countless details of the game in a high degree of excitement, and simply exchanged body fluids and hugged each other and fell asleep.

In the whole city, only the Red Mountain Academy, which has just received a huge injection of money, still maintains the lights like showing off their wealth, like a torch at night.

Next to the college, in a restaurant surrounded by clear lake water, Xu Bailian quietly returned.

The reborn Demon Dao Grandmaster was still sitting in his original position, still with a pale and feeble smile on his face, except for the rising moon that confirmed the change of time, as if everything was still stuck at the moment when the door was closed.

The grandmaster suite of Xinhu Restaurant has an absolute sound insulation effect, unless the owner intentionally asks for it, it will produce environmental sounds such as breeze and flowing water. Xu Bailian naturally scoffed at this, he quickly came to be quiet, because any "moving thing" could be described as an enemy in his opinion, so the Grandmaster Suite required absolute silence.

However, after Xu Bailian returned to the suite, there was a faint heart-rending vomiting sound from the direction of the bedroom, and at the same time, a pungent smell also permeated, almost suffocating.

Xu Bailian just frowned, and said in a hoarse voice, "Isn't it over yet?"

He was greeted by a more intense vomiting and the sound of a large amount of dense objects falling into the water.

After a while, a middle-aged man with fat body and sparse hair walked out of the toilet with a pale face, with a weak and humble smile on his face, and when he saw Xu Bailian, his mouth twisted a little, and then he said, "Master Grandmaster, I ...... Can I go back?"

Xu Bailian looked him up and down, and then looked at the corners of his bloody mouth, and suddenly frowned. Yang Yu wiped the corners of his mouth with some confusion, looked at the purple and black stains on his sleeves, and still didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it.

Xu Bailian simply stood up, walked in front of him, stretched out his hand to replace a tender branch out of thin air, and with a slight flick, several slender leaves at the end swept past Yang Yu's mouth.

In an instant, Yang Yu collapsed to the ground with convulsions, half of his face was distorted, and countless cyan flesh worms seemed to be fluttering in his sagging sagging cheeks, revealing a terrifying brilliance from the thin layer of oily skin.

After a long while, Yang Yu stopped his convulsions and slowly got up, at this time the wound at the corner of his mouth had completely healed, and the worms in his cheeks were gone...... But he was visibly timid, and looked at Xu Bailian and the branch he held in his hand peacefully.

Xu Bailian didn't talk nonsense, while putting away the immortal branches, he glanced at the door with his eyes, Yang Yu was amnestied, and hurriedly opened the door and went out.

Outside the door, there were a few sneaky Shengyuan people wandering around the corner of the corridor.

When they saw Yang Yu, these people immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You really like to die, don't you? You dare to jump into the fire pit!"

"I looked for you for a long time, and after asking the waiter, I found out that you actually came to find that evil star in advance......"

"We thought you were dead inside. ”

Everyone was gossiping for a while, and they also showed a bit of sincerity for this middle-aged man with sparse hair who was mixed into the group by his relationship.

After all, no matter what their relationship was in the Shengyuan Empire before, they were now friends who were deeply trapped in the enemy's realm, and they always had to have a little sense of solidarity.

At worst, even when the catastrophe of life and death comes, it is a good thing to have one more Taoist friend to back. So seeing Yang Yu come out of the grandmaster's suite safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to ask what was going on.

Yang Yu shook his head and pointed to his mouth, and everyone suddenly understood: there is a secret, and it can't be said.

Every grandmaster has a secret, or only the secret of the grandmaster is called a secret, Xu Bailian is no longer likable, and people have no interest and courage to delve into his secrets, so they can only make all kinds of unbearable guesses in their hearts, and then patted Yang Yu's shoulder and dispersed to rest.

Yang Yu thanked everyone with a smile, and it wasn't until the last person also stretched his waist and paced back to the room that he finally retracted his complexion.

Then, in an indiscernible voice, he murmured, "All the best." ”

At the same time, Xu Bailian's voice sounded in his ears: "Yes, it went very well." ”

Yang Yu asked, "So, who is next?"

Xu Bailian sneered: "Next? What a stupid thing! I said before that there will be revenge, but it's not empty words, this city is full of enemies, do you still have to count them one by one?"

Yang Yu suddenly said: "So, what will you do next time?"

"Either you don't do it, you have to do it bigger, and the closest opportunity is in front of you. ”

"Red Mountain Academy's end-of-year test?"

"Huh. Xu Bailian let out a distorted sneer, "The test is set up in a special map virtualized by the law, and the process is widely spread through the Blur Domain. Hongshan people also did a lot of foreshadowing publicity in advance. At that time, the test will be able to attract the attention of at least half of the world's demon Taoists, and as long as such an opportunity is grasped once, the whole world can be built into a paradise for our generation!"

"But ......," Yang Yu hesitated, "since it can attract the attention of more than half of the demon Daoists in the world at that time, will it ......?"

"What if there are many people who pay attention? I have personally seen the so-called first person in the world, and it is nothing more than that, even he can't see the fame, who else in this world can see it? I think that a big tree can protect a world, what a group of ...... Pampered degraded species!"
