On the northwest side of the Longqing Empire, there is a cliff that rises abruptly, the name of the world, the cliff seems to be as high as the sky, and you can't see the end when you look up at a glance.

On such a high cliff, there are still immortal cultivators who come and go freely, but almost all of them are dressed in black, and fire-shaped marks can be seen on their collars.

Above the cliff, there is a rough terrain, the terrain is wide, no different from the ground.

At the same time, you can see hundreds of buildings rising from the ground, some of which are as imposing as palaces, and some of which are as delicate and elegant as bungalows.

Among them, there is a building in the center that is very eye-catching, and it has become the symbol of this place, and it is known as the Wind and Cool Palace.

At this time, in the main hall, Li Qianchen sat above, and there was a graceful woman standing on the left side of it, who was Li Zhiran.

In the center of the main hall, a man in black knelt on the ground and said, "Enlighten the sect leader, my subordinates have done a bad errand, ask the sect leader for mercy."

The one who speaks is an iron burial.

Li Qianchen looked at the iron burial, his eyes were sharp, and said, "You can say it."

Iron Burial said in a trembling voice: "My subordinates missed a good opportunity in Xiyuan City, not only failed to kill all the people of the Jiuxiao Sect, but also caused the entire army of my sect to be wiped out, and I was the only one left to escape. ”

Hearing this, Li Qianchen stood up directly, and the momentum on his body emanated, making people dare not look at it directly.

"I already knew about this, and you only came back today to report it, so I thought you would never come back."

Tie Fu buried his head on the ground, trembling all over, and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates have been healing outside before, and they are secretly investigating the culprit who made our sect's plan fail that day, so it will delay some time." ”

"Then have you found something," Li Qianchen asked impatiently.

Tie Fu hurriedly replied: "The subordinates have already investigated, and all this is to blame on the two fish who slipped through the net of the Jiuxiao Sect, namely Ma Fangyu and Zhang Tai, especially Ma Fangyu, it is under his calculation that all the plans will fall short." ”

When Li Zhiran heard Ma Fangyu's name, her face changed slightly. And Li Qianchen only thought that all this was an excuse for the iron burial, and the anger on his face was even worse, and he was about to attack, but he saw Li Zhiran suddenly walk out and block in front of the iron burial.

Li Zhiran arched his hand and said: "Daddy, I can testify that Ma Fangyu and Zhang Tai were indeed omitted that day, and it is not surprising that they were able to lose in the hands of that kid, so I hope that Daddy will be gracious and spare his life." ”

It was the first time that Li Qianchen heard his daughter praise someone like this, his face showed curiosity, and then he looked at the iron burial and said, "Since the holy woman intercedes for you, I will temporarily store your head on your neck, and leave it to atone for your sins later." ”

When Tie Fu heard this, he looked excited, and kowtowed to Li Qianchen and Li Zhiran a few times.

"Thank you, Master"

"Thank you, Holy Maiden"

Li Qianchen sat down, waved his right hand, signaled Tie Fu to retreat, and then looked at Li Zhiran.

After the iron burial left, Li Zhiran walked directly to Li Qianchen's side and squatted down, burying her head in his thigh.

Li Qianchen stroked his daughter, very doting.

"I heard that this trip to the Immortal Realm made you also return," Li Qianchen asked softly.

Li Zhiran raised her head and made a naughty expression, "Daddy, do you want to punish your daughter too?"

Li Qianchen laughed, "If Dad wants to punish you, how can he tell you so softly." ”

Li Zhiran had long expected him to be reluctant, so she buried her head again, and looked ahead with a dull gaze, thoughtful.

Seeing this, Li Qianchen couldn't help asking: "Zhiran, since you came back this time, you have been a little absent-minded, could it be that you haven't come out of the failure of the Immortal Realm."

Li Zhiran shook her head and said, "Daddy, do you still have a son outside?"

Suddenly asked like this, Li Qianchen was shocked, and after a short silence, he vetoed: "I, Li Qianchen, are only a woman for you."

Son, why do you ask that?"

When Li Zhiran heard this, she glanced up at him, then showed a sly smile and said, "Haha, I asked casually, looking at your expression, I was deceived." ”

Li Qianchen suddenly felt helpless, and laughed along.

After a while, Li Qianchen restrained his smile and said: "You, you must be strong in everything, and you have never failed since you were a child, so your father is also relieved to leave the affairs of the door to you to take care of, and you have never disappointed your father." Now the failure of the first payment is not necessarily a good thing, at least it makes you know the truth that there are people outside the world. ”

Li Zhiran stood up and nodded again and again, "My daughter knows."

Li Qianchen smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Decent things should not be rushed, if you want to unify the world, you must first unify the evil faction. Now among the evil sects, there are still sects such as the Long Hate Heaven and the Yin Sect whose strength should not be underestimated, so then you should go all out to deal with them. ”

Li Zhiran's eyes became sharp, rejuvenated, and said with a smile: "Obey the orders of the sect master, and my daughter will go down to plan." With that, he stepped back.

Li Qianchen saw her distant back, smiled and shook his head.

After a while, a black shadow gradually appeared in the center of the main hall, like an illusory soul hanging in the air, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all, he bowed to Li Qianchen and said, "Subordinates see the sect leader." ”

Li Qianchen regained his serious face, nodded first, and then said: "Hei Yu, I want to know everything that happened to the Holy Maiden in the Immortal Realm, and I will give you three days to investigate it well." ”

Hei Yu said respectfully: "Obey." Then the figure faded until it disappeared completely.

Li Qianchen looked ahead, thoughtful, and couldn't let go of his daughter's problem in his heart.

After Li Zhiran left the main hall, she called Fan Xibai and came to a dark dungeon together, and the guards saluted when they saw the saint coming.

The dungeon is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the further you go in, the stronger the cells become, and some of them have iron chains to lock the prisoners, and no one can break free.

She kept walking forward, stopped in a near corner, and looked at the cell in front of her.

The cell was a secret chamber with only a small hole in the door, guarded by two guards in front of the door.

Li Zhiran's eyes were close to the small hole in the door, and she had an unobstructed view of the situation inside.

Inside was an old gray-haired man, covered in wounds, with four thick chains binding his hands and feet, and a chain around his throat. When Li Zhiran secretly looked at him, the old man seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes looked back like a torch, making a hideous cry, which was terrifying.

Li Zhiran said lightly: "Open the door." ”

The two guards answered, each took out half of the keys on their bodies, combined them into a complete key, inserted them into the keyhole on the door, and turned them slightly, only to hear a click, and a gap appeared in the crack of the door.

Li Zhiran pushed the door in, and Fan Xibai followed.

"Demon girl, what are you doing here" The old man saw Li Zhiran, his eyes were resentful, and he wanted to eat her.

Li Zhiran smiled and said, "You are also the deputy sect master of the dignified Yin Sect, this kind of low-level prisoner is not pleasant." ”

The old man said angrily: "Demon girl, if I hadn't been careless that day and fell for your tricks, otherwise I wouldn't have been captured by your Tianyi Sect." ”

"Hahaha," Li Zhiran laughed, "You're only capable of speaking now." ”

When the old man heard this, his expression was gloomy, thinking that three months ago, he was still the deputy sect master of the Yin Sect above ten thousand people under one person, but he didn't expect that now he would fall into the situation of being counted down by a yellow-haired girl.

Li Zhiran saw that the other party was silent, and the corners of her mouth lifted a faint arc, "I'm willing to give you a chance, I don't know if you want to cherish it"

The old man suddenly became interested and asked, "What do you want?"

Li Zhiran said solemnly: "It's very simple, you just need to agree to cooperate with us, come and work together, and end the Yin Sect in one pot, I promise."

You are a Tianyi Sect incense master, what do you think?"

The old man laughed, "You little girl, why do you say such unashamed words." ”

Fan Xibai on the side stepped forward and said: "Just because she is the holy daughter of the Tianyi Sect and the only daughter of the sect leader, you can lose in her hands, and you will not lose unjustly." ”

When the old man heard this, his whole breath withered, and he never thought that the little girl in front of him was from such a background.

After a moment of silence, the old man looked disdainful and scolded: "I am also above ten thousand people under one person in the Yin Sect, and it is absolutely impossible for me to betray the Yin Sect for the position of an incense master." ”

Li Zhiran shook her head, her face became fierce, and said, "Are you still thinking about your position as the deputy sect master As far as I know, your Yin Sect has already appointed a new deputy sect master, and you are heartfelt, but you don't know that you have fallen for other people's tricks. ”

The old man's face changed, "What do you mean?"

Seeing the old man's eagerness, Li Zhiran took a few steps forward unhurriedly and asked, "Haven't you thought about how we knew your traces in the first place, why did you isolate the Yin Sect and why did you rush to appoint a new deputy sect master after you were arrested?"

Several questions in a row made the old man fall into contemplation, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, could it be that all this was really his own people's plan to kill people with a knife

Seeing the other party's doubts, Li Zhiran smiled faintly and continued: "My Tianyi Sect is determined to unify the world, and there are seven or eight people in the evil sect who have surrendered to me, and the annihilation of other sects is an unstoppable trend, isn't the position of a master of incense in the hall not as good as a deputy sect master of the Yin Sect who is about to be destroyed?"

When the old man heard this, he was even more hesitant, as if only cooperation was his best way out.

Seeing this, Li Zhiran was not in a hurry, and ordered his subordinates to bring two stools, and sat down with Fan Xibai.

After about a stick of incense, the old man finally made up his mind and sighed: "Well, since they are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, I, Huo Zhan, am willing to descend to heaven and teach a sect." ”

Li Zhiran's face showed excitement, and finally succeeded in persuading Huo Zhan to surrender, with his help, it would be a matter of time before he destroyed the Yin Sect.

Li Zhiran lightly slapped his palm twice, and a figure suddenly appeared like a ghost, and the aura it exuded made Huo Zhandu look solemn.

Li Zhiran said to the comer: "From now on, Huo Zhan is his own person, you go and let him go." ”

The comer nodded, and his hands began to form magic seals, and then it could be seen that the five Yuan Qi struck each of the five iron chains, and the iron chains automatically loosened and fell to the ground.

Huo Zhan was relieved, the vitality in his body seemed to be revived, and that familiar sense of strength came back again. His sharp eyes first glanced at the comer, and then his gaze fell on Li Zhiran, kneeling on one knee, "See the Holy Maiden." ”

Li Zhiran nodded, pointed at the comer, and said, "He is Xing Gong, one of the six Yan I teach, and he will be responsible for contacting you in the future, but if you want to return to the Yin Sect, you still need two things." ”

Huo Zhan listened attentively.

Li Zhiran continued: "First, you must take the unique cartilage transformation pill of my sect, which will have an attack every full moon night, if there is no antidote, you will suffer the pain of weak muscles and bones, body corruption, and finally die slowly. You don't want to suppress it with vitality, or you'll just die faster. Of course, if you behave well, we will send you an antidote once a month, which is enough to suppress the attack. ”

After that, Xing Gong took out a black pill out of nowhere and handed it to Huo Zhan.

Huo Zhan's face turned pale suddenly, but in desperation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow the cartilage transformation pill.

Li Zhiran continued: "Second, you have to cooperate with us in a play, so that you can return to the Yin Sect without suspicion. ”

When Huo Zhan heard this, he nodded, "Everything is arranged by the Holy Maiden." ”

Li Zhiran smiled with satisfaction, and according to the original plan, Fan Xibai and Xing Gong were responsible for implementing the next good show, and she left alone, just waiting for good news.
