Chapter 20: A Shocking Reversal
"The number of heaven and earth begins with one and ends with nine. "There are nine heavens above, and nine springs below, the highest to the extreme, the most dangerous to the evil. The Demon Realm has unified the Demon Realm since the Demon Lord of Qiantu's generation, and nine demon lords have been assigned to take charge of the Nine Cities and Nine Springs. The nine springs of the demon world are: Yu Spring, Ya Spring, Yellow Spring, Cold Spring, Yin Spring, Secluded Spring, Lower Spring, Bitter Spring, and Ming Spring. The current Nine Springs are managed by the Demon Lord, and the remaining eight springs are respectively headed by the Seven Envoys of the Devil and the younger brother of the Demon Lord. There are many distractions of evil ghosts in the entire demon world, and a few people go to Jiucheng and Jiuquan separately to find the whereabouts of the Seven Envoys of the Ghost and the Demon Lord. When they were discussing countermeasures before, they had considered that according to the abilities of the Demon Lord and the Seven Envoys of the Demon Dragon, it was impossible to be ambushed so simply, and they must have fallen into the trap of the Underworld.
Although it is said that the probability of falling into the trap is higher when the operation is separated, it is obvious that this is efficient and can reduce casualties, and will not wipe out the whole army. Jiuxi thought optimistically, and took Nan Zhai and Ah Xue to follow behind Shao Hui, and they went to check the situation of Xuquan, Yaquan, Huangquan, Cold Spring, Yin Spring, and Youquan, Ziye and Yunzhao were in charge, and Jingli and Yechen were in charge of Xiaquan, Bitter Spring, and Twilight Spring.
Fountain is the head of the Nine Springs, and the River Styx is a branch of it, but now it is dead. Shao Hui took Jiuxi into the main hall of Xuquan City, which was full of formations, but he saw an acquaintance, the Eastern Ghost Emperor, Shen Di.
The underworld is jointly controlled by the Ten Halls of Yama and the Four Ghost Emperors, and in the ten halls, the Reincarnation King, the King of Chujiang, the King of Bian Cheng, and the King of Yama are easier to deal with, while the Four Directions Ghost Emperor is only good at dealing with the gods. A few days ago, when Shao Yu took Jiuxi to the underworld, he passed by the jurisdiction of the gods, but he did not see him. At this time, I saw this person sitting on the high throne of the main hall in a lazy and cynical manner, was he arranged to work as a coolie in this place as soon as he came back?
Shen Tu raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, "These things in the Demon Realm and the Underworld, why is it that the Young Monarch of the Upper Realm God Clan also came to intervene more?" Qingyao, that old guy is in a panic in the Cloud Realm Tianyuan, you can go to the Underworld to play chess and drink tea with me. ”
"I remember that Lord Ghost Emperor doesn't like to meddle in things either, why did he listen to those old guys and come to the Demon Realm to make trouble this time?"
Shen Tu has always done his own thing, and he doesn't like to be controlled by others the most, and this time he came back to this Demon Realm Spring City, and he just owed the deceased a favor. "I know what you're here for. Bendi doesn't like to beat around the bush, I do have one of the seven envoys of the ghost here, you can save it with your ability. ”
"Senior brother......" Jiuxi was protected by Shao Hui at the beginning, and after hearing this, he weakly pulled Shao Hui's sleeve, "Senior brother, are you still saved?"
Their team has one less combat strength, and they have to carry two oil bottles. She was a little worried, if she got into a fight, shouldn't she run away with Nansai first?"
Shao Yu turned around and whispered to her, "If it's your fifth brother, save it." If not......"
Let's save it.
Jiuxi nodded, her senior brother is really compassionate, knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted, and upright.
"What do you think about the Ghost Emperor?" asked Shao Yu directly.
The crystal blue ghost fire around the main hall flickered, and Jiu Xi only felt a chaotic sound in his head, and gradually a white mist blinded his eyes. I fainted in a moment.
Hmm, did this Ghost Emperor actually make a shady move? Hateful, shameful, hateful, hateful!
I don't know how long it took for Jiuxi to wake up in a daze, blink his eyes, and see the Divine Ghost Emperor who was still sitting calmly beside him. Looking around, he didn't see the figure of Senior Brother and Nan Zhai, and looked at the person in front of him with wide eyes, "What about my Senior Brother and Nan Zhai? What happened to them? Let me tell you, my master can protect them! If you do something to them, my master will come to take revenge!"
Qing Yao, who was far away in the Cloud Realm Heavenly Abyss and rarely began to process documents, sneezed inexplicably.
Shen Tu glanced at her, "Your senior brother, where are you." Jiuxi followed his gaze and looked into the air, and in the transparent halo, the phantom of her senior brother appeared.
"That dragon is too weak to resist me casting spells, and you will be rejuvenated by your spiritual sense. Also, Bendi will not embarrass the child. ”
So you're going to embarrass my brother, aren't you?
"Why is my brother there?"
"If you want to save people under the hands of Bendi, you have to pass the test set by Bendi. "The bigwigs of the underworld are all good at illusions, just like Jiuxi who fell into the mirage illusion of the Xuandao Ghost King. However, the ghost king's illusion is actually not a climate, and it is a small thing in front of the ghost emperor and gods.
"Do you want us to rescue the people of the Demon Realm?"
Shen Tu looked at him for a moment, "What do you say?"
"Otherwise, why don't you kill us directly? Nansai and I are weak in combat effectiveness, and Senior Brother can't take advantage of us with us, you can easily solve us, right?"
Shen Tu changed his sitting posture on the throne, "Hmm, maybe this emperor doesn't want to be an enemy of the Cloud Realm Heavenly Abyss?"
"But didn't you Ten Hall Yama make a deal with Shaojun Yuanqiang? Yuan Qiang and my Senior Brother Shao Yu are opposites, don't you want to take the opportunity to help Yuan Qiang ascend to the throne in addition to my senior brother?
Shen Tu laughed, undeniable. Put your slender fingers to your lips, shhhh ”
Only then did Jiu Xi put away his thoughts, and his gaze moved to Shao Xu's body in the white halo. I couldn't help but ask, "Why do you ghost kings and ghost emperors like to get people into your own fantasy realm at every turn?
"......" slammed the knife in the eye. Shut up!
Jiuxi pursed her lips and looked interested. The demons of his own brother...... What is it like?
A delicate-looking glutinous rice doll is reflected in the white halo, which is very cute. The chubby little hand grabbed a piece of glutinous rice crisp and gnawed on it, and the little mouth was full of sticky mouths. Jiuxi's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Shendi's sleeve and shook it, "!! is this Senior Brother Shaoxi, isn't it too cute!!!!! "I want to kiss, I want to hug, I want to lift high!!
It turns out that Senior Brother Shaoyu was so cute when he was a child.
The two watched with high interest and looked forward to the next plot development. Completely oblivious to the people hiding in the darkness behind them.
"Have you seen enough?"
“!!!!”
Jiuxi was shocked by this familiar voice, and turned his head to meet Shaoxi's playful gaze. Looking back at the white mist, there was no one in sight.
Shen Tu was also a little surprised, but didn't show it. He only frowned and said, "My illusion doesn't work for you?"
I don't think about it at all, if it's because my illusion is too weak.
"When I went to the underworld that day, I sensed her breath. She's doing well, and I naturally don't have any demons. Shao Yu said.
The god was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something. "I forgot about it. “
Jiu Xi hugged Shao Xi, "Senior brother is awesome!" and looked at Shen Di again, "Uncle, does it count as if we won now?"
Shen Tu snorted with a smile and disappeared from his figure. With the disappearance of the god's body, everything around the city changed, the ghost qi disappeared cleanly, and the main hall returned to the normal painting style of the demon world.
Gui Xun was tied to a pillar, his head drooping, and he didn't know if he had fainted.
Shao Hui walked over and cast a spell to break the rope that bound Gui Xun, and helped him out of the city of Springs.
As soon as he left the main hall, Gui Xun woke up, and when he saw Shao Yu beside him supporting him, he smiled weakly, "Good brother." ”
Gui Xun washed his face with the Fountain, which was connected to the River Styx and could feel the cold of the ice, and he was awake in an instant.
"It's time to explain why. The underworld, the demon world, and the upper world. Let's play in a circle. ”
Gui Xun's eyes flashed when he heard Shao Hui's cold words, and he laughed, "I don't know what Brother Shao Huang is talking about." ”
"I think Yuan Qiang should have fallen by now. Shao Yu said, "You sang a good show with the underworld, and I didn't even react until now." ”
Jiuxi heard a mouthful of fog, what is this?
Gui Xun smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, brother." ”
Just now in the hall, Shao Yu had indeed been tricked by the illusion of the gods, and his memory was vague as if he had returned to his childhood. At this moment, the life fire in his body suddenly burned, as if he felt something, which made him instantly come back to his senses and wake up.
The difference in life, especially when the body is unconscious, can only be one reason. - The lives of loved ones are unstable.
Those who are related to him, one can no longer feel her life fire in the underworld, and the other is in a high position, there must be no accidents. The only possibility is his half-brother, Yuan Qiang.
In the inexplicable contract of uniting the Ten Palaces of Yama and Yuan Qiang, the mysterious disappearance of Juxing Pavilion, the rebellion of the Demon Realm, and the encroachment of the Underworld on the Demon Realm. All this is just that the Demon Realm and the Underworld have joined forces to pull this first heir of the Protoss into the water.
"I'm sorry, man. Gui Xun apologized to him again, and he couldn't resist the order of the Demon Venerable. After all, his life was on the verge back then, and it was the Demon Venerable who saved him.
He who owes him his brother will be compensated with all his might.
"Don't be sorry, you deal with Yuanqiang, and you can be regarded as avenging me. He understands Guixun's good intentions, and according to Guixun's nature, he can't do anything to hurt his friends. Even if it was his savior who issued the order. He knew that Gui Xun had called all the people of their Cloud Realm Heavenly Abyss to the Demon Realm, just to prevent the Protoss from grabbing their handles and placing the crime on the head of the Cloud Realm Heavenly Abyss.
In fact, as long as the man wants to get rid of him, the guilt is only a matter of words. But now that his eldest son has fallen off the horse, it is enough for him to have a headache for a while.
"I'm curious, when did you hook up with the underworld?"
Gui Xun shook his head, "They contacted us. Then he paused and said, "I heard that the person in charge of the underworld is now the tenth hall rotation king Candle Ye. ”
Shao Yu's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything more.
This planned action was made by the underworld, and it was not easy for the underworld to trade with the Star Pavilion for thousands of years just to ambush this line. It is said that Yuan Qiang has been seriously injured and taken to the Underworld, and the Underworld intends to continue trading with him in the Upper Realm.
A few people who went to other cities were naturally unscathed, and when they learned the truth of the matter, they were surprised for a while and accepted the result. However, there is a new layer of understanding of the underworld in my heart, and the combination of the underworld and the demon world is really not to be underestimated. Now their high-ranking Heavenly Emperor His Majesty really has enough headaches.
Several people returned to the main city, and the Demon Lord personally hosted a banquet to receive them, and it was said that the younger brother of the Demon Lord led his Demon Dou Xuan soldiers to drink staggeringly. Seeing this Cloud Realm Tianyuan belly, what kind of demon lord's brother led the army to rebel, Lao Tzu really believed in your evil! This guy is a! Sure enough, the rumors are not credible, they are not credible.
