() The legendary Qiankun Gate is located in a fairy mountain, called Xuanji Mountain. The reason why it is called Xuanji Mountain is because this mountain is full of mysteries and is very understandable.

First, Xuanji Mountain has been hidden in the fairy mist all year round, looming in the fairy mist, as if there is nothing.

Second, although Xuanji Mountain is called a mountain, no one has seen the foot of the mountain, or no one knows where the mountain is. Maybe the entire Xuanji Mountain is suspended in the air, and even so, no one has really seen it in the air.

Third, since Xuanji Mountain is invisible, unsearchable, and unknowable, how can it become the station of the Qiankun Gate? This stems from the only passage leading to the Qiankun Gate, that is, a cloud ladder located in the southeast of Shatuo City.

The reason why it is called a ladder is because this ladder is submerged into the sky, and no one knows how high it is or how many steps. Anyway, it leads to Xuanji Mountain, and it also leads to Qiankun Gate.

The matter of the cloud ladder is well known in Shatuo City, so there is no shortage of ordinary people who seek immortals and ask questions, who want to climb this cloud ladder, reach Xuanji Mountain, and worship under the Qiankun Gate.

It's just that those who can really get to Xuanji Mountain can be said to be very small, one needs the tenacious perseverance of the climber, and the other needs the fairy fate, both of which are indispensable, otherwise it will never be successful.

Because of the great difficulty, many people even fell down from the ladder and ended up with a broken body, and over time, few people rushed to challenge. It undoubtedly takes a lot of courage to dare to really challenge people now.

Based on the above reasons, Shatuo City has become a temporary foothold for many cultivators to enter the Qiankun Gate, of course, most of them are active in the city as civilians, so it will not have much impact on the local area.

With the approach of the Demon Slayer Heroes Conference, Shatuo City has gradually become lively, and it has faintly become a gathering place for cultivators from all over the world.

At this time, at the gate of the city, many people entered the city one after another, and among them, there were some cultivators with hidden breaths.

Among them, a group of people are very conspicuous, although they have changed their clothes and look relatively simple, but because among them, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, and they immediately attracted countless eyes.

There were more than twenty people in their group, and the leader was an old man with crane hair and a childish face, who was none other than Bai Ziweng, the peak master of the Crescent Moon Peak of the Nine Heavens Sect, and he was followed by two elders, and the others were all disciples.

Among the women, there is one person who is extremely outstanding, even if she changes into a cold clothes, she can't hide her peerless appearance at all. She gave people a cold and glamorous feeling from afar, but there was a trace of scorching heat all over her body, and she was undoubtedly Feng Qingluan.

Among the men, Long Qinyun is the most eye-catching, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, even with this simple clothes, it can also set off it noblely.

Bai Ziweng led his disciples to walk slowly, and was about to be inspected by the guards at the city gate, when a strong voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

"Lord Baifeng, long time no see!"

The Jiuxiao Sect looked over, but when they saw behind them, an old man led more than a dozen disciples to walk slowly.

The old man is no stranger, it is Master Xie, the master of the Thousand Insects Hall in Shennong Valley, and among the disciples behind him, there are two disciples who are extremely eye-catching, they look the same, but they are dressed a little differently, it is Pei Qiuwan and Bei Xiayan.

Bei Qiuwan's expression was indifferent, looking dignified and steady, and Bei Xiayan looked happy after seeing the people of the Jiuxiao Sect, and his eyes of exploration swept over the disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect, and finally locked on

Long Qinyun's eyes were full of strangeness.

"Hall Master Xie, I'm glad to meet!" Bai Ziweng returned the salute, at this time, Master Xie had already walked in front of him, and the two began to chat, and it seemed that they were still a little familiar.

After Bei Qiuwan stood still, her eyes also looked at the disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect, and nodded to each other with a few acquaintances. However, among them, she never saw Ma Fangyu's shadow, and she couldn't help but look suspicious.

After a short time, Master Xie and Bai Ziweng walked together in the direction of the gate, and the disciples of the two factions also merged together and followed behind.

At this time, Bei Xiayan took the opportunity to sneak to Long Qinyun's side, smiled skillfully, and said, "Senior Brother Long, I didn't expect you to come too." ”

Long Qinyun smiled slightly, like the white snow in spring, refreshing people's hearts, and said, "Yes, isn't Senior Sister Xia Yan here too." ”

Afterwards, Bei Xiayan continued to pester Long Qinyun and gossip, as if she had endless words, and she hid her brutality.

Seeing her sister like this, Bei Qiuwan couldn't help but shake her head, and then walked to Shi and the others, greeted each of them, and finally stopped on Shi's body, which caused Long Shuang next to her to be a little displeased.

"Shi Gongzi, are you worshipping under the Nine Heavens Sect?" asked Bei Qiuwan with some surprise.

Shi nodded and replied, "Yes, I have already entered the Nine Heavens Sect Sect Hanging Peak not long ago. ”

Hearing this, Bei Qiuwan's surprise gradually dissipated, and her eyes moved to Feng Qingluan's body not far away.

is really beautiful, born with a face that makes women feel excited, Bei Qiuwan sighed in her heart.

After a brief interrogation by the guards, the group was allowed to leave, and they stepped into Shatuo City together.

It can be seen that everyone can hardly hide their excitement, after all, this lively and prosperous town life, compared with the cold and boring Qing Xiu life, does have great temptation. Therefore, some people would rather enjoy a short life than be a person who cultivates the truth.

Next, the two factions plan to travel together and find a place to stay here first, after all, there are still five full days before the Hero Massavali Conference.

The inn has undoubtedly become everyone's first choice place, but with so many people, it is indeed difficult to live in an inn.

For this reason, they spent a lot of time and finally found an inn that met the conditions.

Just as they stepped into the inn, the people of Pudu Temple were here, the leader was Master Jianxian, and the disciples included more than ten disciples such as Yuan Qi and Yuan Du.

The three factions gathered here, greeted each other, and then were placed by the innkeeper to wait for the appointed time to come.

Of course, the three major sects are just a microcosm here, and there are a lot of cultivators and cultivators hidden in the entire Shatuo City, some are invited, some are uninvited, and most of them have their own thoughts.

Shi stayed alone in the room, a little idle, so he pushed open the door and planned to go out for a walk alone.

So, he left the inn and walked alone in the streets.

However, before he could go far, he heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Brother Shi, where are you going?"

Hearing this voice, there was a warm current in his heart, and it was obvious that it was Long Shuang who spoke.

Twin like the blazing sun, in addition to the night, makes him feel everywhere, but also can bring him warmth.

After getting along for a long time, Shi's heart has changed subtly. That is, I will think of her inadvertently, and when I think of her, I will always feel beautiful in my heart.

Shi turned his head violently, searching for the familiar figure, but to his surprise, there was no figure of Long Shuang in the place he saw.

What's going on? Could it be that he has heard the wrong thing? But he is so good, why did he listen to the wrong thing? Shi Bai was puzzled.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he put it down and stopped thinking about it, then turned his head away and continued to walk slowly.

As soon as he turned his head, two figures appeared behind him, which were Hao Li and Yuan Zhan of the Spirit Realm.

Hao Li looked at Shi's back, as if looking at the plaything in his hand, showing a playful expression.

Yuan Zhan beside him had a serious expression and asked with some puzzlement, "Why are you doing this?"

Hao Li smiled: "According to my observation, this stone should like that little girl." After what I verified just now, sure enough, now that I know his mind, it is equivalent to discovering his weaknesses. With weaknesses, it's fun. ”

Looking at Hao Li's strange expression, Yuan Zhan couldn't understand what he was doing, if he directly seized such a good opportunity to capture him alive and bring him back to the spirit world, wouldn't he simply complete the task neatly?

"I still don't understand, now is the perfect time to catch him, you won't let it go, right?" Yuan Zhan continued to ask.

"Arrest him? Who wants to arrest him? I've changed my mind now, and I was in a hurry before, so I failed. Now I'm going to have a good time with him, and let him follow us back obediently!" said Hao Li, confidently.

Yuan Zhan roughly understood his intentions, but he still didn't like what he did, and only hated that he was not the main person responsible, so he had to stay and mess around with him.

Hao Li turned his head to look at Yuan Zhan's somewhat displeased expression, and continued to explain: "You should know that our intention to catch the stone back is not to lock him up, let alone kill him, but to make him useful to us. If he comes hard, even if he is brought to the front of the Realm Lord, it will only displease the Realm Lord. If we can make him obedient in front of the Realm Lord, even if we have done a great job, we may even get a good reward from the Realm Lord. ”

Speaking of this, Hao Li's face was full of pride, as if he was looking forward to the arrival of that day.

Only then did Yuan Zhan understand Hao Li's true intentions, it turned out that he thought more than himself, not like himself.

"Well, I can listen to you, I just hope that day doesn't wait too long. Yuan Zhan said lightly.

Hao Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, everything is under my control." ”

While the two were talking, Shi's back had disappeared into the crowd, and when they saw this, they continued to follow.

Looking at the stone again, he had already walked out of the loss just now, and he was attracted by the prosperous scene in front of him, and the strange objects on the street, which were basically the first time he had seen them.

Now he has long lost his usual calm appearance, his eyes are blooming with a strange light, and he keeps looking around, like a dirt bun that has just entered the city.

As everyone knows, behind this prosperity, there is a hidden danger that is gradually approaching him, but he doesn't know it.
