Xu Qingyan, Hu Feng and others embarked on the return journey back to Xijing, and the painting workshop in Chang'an was also put in a deep lock.

And the news of Xu Qingyan's return was also known by Meow San and reached Qingchen's ears.

At this time, Qingchen and Taiyin Da'e were sitting at the foot of a mountain to rest, and they also grabbed a few wild games and prepared to make a fire for barbecue.

"Brother Qingchen, if you leave without making a sound, I'm afraid it will make Miss Qingyan angry!" Taiyin said as he roasted the rabbit meat in his hand.

Qingchen sighed and said, "Last night, Meow San told me that Qingyan was going back to Xijing today, it seems that this time he was really angry with me!"

"Brother Qingchen doesn't have to worry, in this way, the safety of Miss Qingyan will have another layer of protection, and we can be completely relieved when we go to the desert!"

Qingchen nodded slightly, flipped over the barbecue in his hand, looked into the distance and said, "I just hope that this time I can have no danger and return safely." ”

The three of them ate hastily and hurried away, leaving only a wisp of curling smoke.

Demon world, Tianya Mountain.

It is rumored that the prince of the demon world, Ai Hong, began to retreat and practice in Tianya Mountain after losing his love, and during this time, he let the demon kings from all walks of life visit him several times, but they did not see each other.

On this day, Aihong was sitting on a bunk, carefully feeling the aura of heaven and earth. Suddenly, a crow's cry broke the silence of Tianya Mountain. The one who came was the crow.

Ai Hong opened his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of golden light flashing between his eyebrows. "Why are you here?"

"The little demon has the latest information to tell His Highness this time!" the black crow bowed his head slightly and said respectfully.

"Is there any news of Que'er?" said Ai Hong, with a look of expectation on his face.

The crow shook his head and said, "There is no news of Miss Cangque. ”

"Although you all say that she is dead, I can feel that she must still be alive somewhere in the world..."Aihong lowered his head in disappointment, "What information do you want to tell me?"

"That's right, we got the latest news from Qingchen and Taiyin in the eyes of the world!" Black Crow said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong with them? Can a mere Taiyin and a little hairy boy make any big waves?" said Aihong contemptuously.

The black crow pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, you can't underestimate the enemy, this time, the two of them have indeed made a big wave!"

"Oh?" Aihong reached out and picked up the wine jug on the long table in front of him, and slowly poured a glass of wine into the porcelain cup. "Tell me about it!"

Black Smoke knelt in front of Aihong, picked up the wine given by Aihong, and drank it all.

"Has Your Highness ever known about the Wutai Mountain Conference?"

Ai Hong thought for a while and replied, "I've heard a little, it seems to be a grand event for all the immortal sects in the world to compete for rankings!"

"That's right!" Black Crow smiled, "This Qingchen was actually invited to this Wutai Mountain Conference, and even won the first place!"

"Hmph, that's right! If you don't win the championship, how can you be qualified to be my opponent!" "But just this leader is not a big wave!"

"Your Highness is wise!" the black crow immediately clapped his ass, "Now everyone in the world knows that Qingchen has two great treasures on his body, the Heavenly Sword and the Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers!"

"Even these famous and decent people covet it!"

"Could it be that this decent person can still be robbed?" Ai Hong took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"This matter is indeed beyond common sense, it stands to reason that the famous and decent families all act according to the rules, but this time, the Quanzhen Sect, which is the first major sect of the Ten Immortal Sects, has disgraced the famous and decent sects?"

Ai Hong sneered and said, "It seems that these so-called immortal sects in this world are nothing more than that, and they haven't talked about credit in our demon world!"

"Who says it isn't!" Black Crow raised his eyebrows and continued, "This Wutai Mountain Conference has become a Hongmen banquet specially created for Qingchen!"

"But the appearance of Taiyin was beyond our expectations, and I don't know where he got the news, so he rushed to Wutai Mountain before the end of the conference. ”

Ai Hong frowned and said, "I remember that the rules of the Wutai Mountain Conference seem to be a trophy for the winner and the loser, so that this Quanzhen Sect can justifiably get Qingchen's treasure!"

"But you also said that Qingchen won the leader, doesn't that mean that the Quanzhen Sect lost his wife and broke his army?"

The black crow sighed slightly, and said: "Taixing, the head of the Quanzhen Sect, didn't expect that his beloved disciple Sorrow Tuozi would be killed by Qingchen, you must know that Sorrow Seed was the leader of the last conference, and his cultivation means can be described as heavenly!"

"Then Yi Taixing's character, he must avenge his apprentice!" said Ai Hong lightly.

The black crow nodded: "Yes! So as soon as the conference ended, the Quanzhen Sect immediately turned its face and directly opened the Protector Array, wanting to surround and kill Qingchen." ”

But that kid's luck was too good, and the critical fatal blow was blocked by his spiritual pet. What's even more unbelievable is that that spirit pet turned out to be the key to unlocking the ability of the second gem of the Heaven Following Sword!"

"What! You said that the Heaven Follower Sword has already opened the second gem ability?" Ai Hong immediately stood up in panic, "I thought that my cultivation speed was already very fast, but I didn't expect that I still hadn't opened up the gap with him!"

"I wonder where His Highness's cultivation is now?" the crow asked tentatively.

"The Six Heavens in the early stage of the Ascending Immortal Realm, there is still some distance from the middle stage of the Ascending Immortal Realm! The Nine Dragons Shaking Heaven Halberd has only opened the Four Dragons, and if you want to defeat the Heaven Sweeping Sword, it is still far from enough!"

Ai Hong is also outspoken about the crow, after all, the crow was his brother's cronies, and when Ai Feng gave him the crown prince, he regarded the crow as his own.

"No hurry, Your Highness. Let's think about it in the long run!It's just that after opening the second gem, there was a moment when Qingchen's cultivation had actually grown to as much as nine in the middle stage of the Ascending Immortal Realm, and it was only one step away from the late stage!"

"Then what is Qingchen's original true cultivation?" Ai Hong asked.

"It should be the same as Your Highness!"

Ai Hong nodded thoughtfully, and said: "That should be the increase given to him by the Heavenly Sword, this is only temporary, and its power is still far from the middle stage of the real Ascending Immortal Realm, so there is no need to be afraid!"

"Your Highness, don't be careless, I heard them say that there is a power in this gem called "Lunar Eclipse", which will make Qingchen enter a state of madness! And Qingchen was able to successfully break through Taihang's encirclement with this trick!" said the black crow with a frown.

"It seems that we have all underestimated Qingchen's growth rate..."Mourning Hong's brows were full of gloom, but soon, the corners of his mouth raised a smile again. "But... According to what you say, Qingchen and the others can be regarded as completely offending the entire Human Cultivation Immortal Sect!"

It was also at this time that the Raven smiled sinisterly. "Your Highness is right, now the Quanzhen Sect has sent all kinds of killers, ready to secretly kill people and take treasures!"

"Hmph, with those wastes, it is impossible to kill Qingchen and Taiyin!" Ai Hong walked to the railing of the attic with his hands behind his back, and there was an endless sea of clouds in front of him. "Why don't we be good people and help those decent people?"

"What does Your Highness think?" Raven asked with a smile.

Ai Hong smiled evilly and said, "I heard before that little follower of Taiyin, Tao Yao, died, Qingchen and Taiyin want to go to the Western Regions to find a way to bring the dead back to life and save Tao Yao!

"What does Your Highness mean... Kill someone with a knife?" The crow already knew it, but it was still quite difficult to carry it out.

Wai Hong nodded slightly, and said: "This matter must not be divulged at all, and it will be left to you to do it!

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" said the crow with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and clenched his hands into fists.

After explaining everything, the crow quietly left Tianya Mountain.

Aihong stood on top of the attic, looking at the mountains in the distance, and his heart was full of thoughts. But as long as I think of the bits and pieces I once had with Cangque, a faint smile will appear on the corner of my mouth.

At the same time, there was a pair of eyes in the woods behind Tianya Mountain, staring closely at the direction of the attic where Aihong was located at the top of the mountain.

The land of Sichuan and Shu, Bazhong.

Qingchen and Taiyin went all the way to the west and came to Anxuan Mountain in eastern Sichuan.

"Brother Qingchen, according to the map, we have entered the land of Sichuan and Shu. And the big mountain in front of it is Anxuan Mountain. Taiyin said as he looked at the map.

Qingchen took a deep breath, looked at the top of Anxuan Mountain and said, "You see that this Anxuan Mountain is bathed in a piece of Buddha light, it must also be a spiritual mountain!"

At this time, a little monk with firewood on his back walked past Qingchen and Taiyin. He doesn't look like a passerby, but like a temple that dwells in the mountains.

The little monk also noticed Qingchen and the others and greeted them respectfully.

"Amitabha, donors, while it's still early, let's pass by early!"

Qingchen and Taiyin glanced at each other, and asked suspiciously, "May I ask the little master, is there still a man-eating demon in this mountain?"

The little monk sighed, answered nothing, and ran towards the mountain in a hurry.

After the little monk left, Qingchen frowned, and said to Taiyin and Da'e: "I don't think that little monk looks like a bad person, reminding us that there must be a certain amount of truth, it's better to... Faster walking?"

Taiyin was silent for a while, looked at the surrounding terrain and said: "Although this mountain is bathed in Buddha light, and the little monk just now doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, I don't know if Brother Qingchen has noticed that under such a big sun, he has no shadow!"

Taiyin's words were like a needle, stabbing Qingchen awake at once. He felt that the little monk was a little strange just now, but he couldn't say anything strange, but after thinking about it carefully, when he walked over just now, there was indeed no shadow on the ground.

"Then according to Brother Taiyin's meaning, there is something strange in this mountain!"

Taiyin Jian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "I don't know if Brother Qingchen has ever heard a sentence, one thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon..."
