searched almost all the fireworks places that Wu Xiaogua likes to go to, and also found those gangsters who had played closely with him before, but he didn't get any news of Wu Xiaogua. Zhan Qingxiao felt that something should have happened, otherwise he would not have been able to find him.

If anything, it's probably on the black market. Then there are two possibilities, the first is that the son-in-law named Jiang Huan, who raised the price with him, found him, and the second is that because of that Congjiao, he detained Wu Xiaogua. Whatever the case may be, he has to go to the black market to have a look.

Zhan Qingxiao thought about it, took out his original set of clothes from Xiao Yu, and then changed his appearance and walked towards the black market.

There weren't many people in the black market at night, so he didn't take the initiative to inquire, and could only listen to those people brag and chat about the two major events that happened during the day. The human slave was auctioned off for a high price of more than 80,000 demon gold, and the mysterious boy spent 300,000 demon gold to buy a golden feather demon civet and then released it.

Walking into the black market, there are all kinds of people here, there are many hard-working dealers who try to sell the slaves they are carrying, and there are many people with jewelry or stolen goods. He couldn't directly ask Wu Xiaogua's whereabouts.

At this time, he saw a man with a thief's head next to a stall selling jade, he felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the person was a person hired by Wu Xiaogua, and his name seemed to be called Xiao Niu.

So he walked over quietly, then tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and tentatively shouted, "Maverick?"

The man turned his head, he didn't know Zhan Qingxiao, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face, "Are you?"

"I have a hundred demon gold here, and if you answer me a few questions, it's yours. Zhan Qingxiao knows that money is always the best way to deal with this kind of gangster.

There was a hint of greed in the eyes of the man named Xiaoniu, and he asked with some hesitation and puzzlement, "Really?"

"Well, you come with me. "Zhan Qingxiao can't ask directly in this place, after all, there are many people here.

When the two came to a hidden place, the calf rubbed his hands together and asked, "What does Childe want to know?"

Zhan Qingxiao gently cared about the demon gold in his hand, and then asked, "Do you recognize Wu Xiaogua?"

"Childe, you mean Gua Ye! This is naturally known!" Xiao Niu hurriedly replied.

There are very few people in the south of the city, and the streets are even more deserted at night, there is not even the sound of dogs barking, and the whole street seems very quiet.

At this time, it was winter, and the night was very cold, Zhan Qingxiao wrapped in a robe, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the broken temple in the south of the city mentioned by the old man earlier.

Zhan Qingxiao walked lightly into the ruined temple. The temple is indeed very dilapidated, and probably only beggars live here at night.

The temple gate looks thousands of years old, and it is also dilapidated. There was a smell of decay emanating from the entire temple, and with a gentle push from Zhan Qingxiao, the door opened. He walked into the temple, trying not to make a single movement, for fear of waking up the people in the temple.

In the distance, he smelled a strong smell of wine, and tattered wine jars were spread all over the ground, some of them were old, and some of them looked like new jars that had just been added.

By the glow of the night, he saw the statue of the temple's enshrinement, a statue of an old man with a beard and a fierce face holding a large sword.

The statue was covered with cobwebs, and a very tattered altar was laid out under the statue, and there were some bones of chickens, ducks, and fish on the altar.

Further down to the ground, there was a pile of weeds, and an old man with a white beard was lying on top of these 'weeds, covered with a tattered quilt, and the quilt was very dirty at this time, and the old man did not dislike it at all, but was sleeping with the quilt in his arms.

Zhan Qingxiao vaguely saw in the darkness that the immortal power on his body was actually circulating, this person was actually cultivating when he fell asleep?

He carefully observed the immortal power circulating around him, and there was no longer any trace of spiritual power in the dantian of the original human being, which meant that his spiritual power had been completely converted into immortal power! Judging by his state, he has already cultivated to the late stage of the Heavenly People's Congress, and he is only one foot away from the immortal servant! However, why can he still stay in the human realm? You must know that once a person in the mortal world reaches the realm of the unity of heaven and man, after the spiritual power begins to transform into immortal power, he will be guided by the ascension, and when the spiritual power is completely transformed, whether he accepts the guidance to ascend or not, he will passively ascend, because the heaven and earth in the mortal world cannot carry the body of an immortal at all. And the people of the immortal realm can't forcibly open the passage to the human world, unless there is a way to block the way of heaven.

Could it be that this old man has a way to shield the way of heaven? Just when Zhan Qingxiao was thinking about various possibilities, the old man suddenly turned over, Zhan Qingxiao thought that he had woken him up, and hurriedly held his breath, and waited for a while to find that this old man was not very satisfied with his previous sleeping position, so he turned over.

Seeing that the old man continued to fall asleep after turning over, Zhan Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, if his own was discovered, this old man regarded himself as an enemy, then the casual blow of the master of the late stage of the Heavenly People's Congress, I am afraid that he would suffer a big loss.

Zhan Qingxiao turned around and tiptoed out.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly saw the old man who was still asleep just now, sitting quietly on the threshold, raising his head and drinking the wine in the wine gourd. This made Zhan Qingxiao suddenly startled, and his body shrank back a little.

"Since you're here, why don't you wake up the old man?" the old man didn't even look at Zhan Qingxiao, and said.

"Aren't you asleep?" asked Zhan, startled.

"The demon clan is very mysterious. Every 10th year, on the second day of the second month of the 10th month, there is an Origin Conference. On top of the Origin Conference, there will be all kinds of secret treasures, and even things that have been handed down from the fairy world! After ten years, it is time for a new Origin Conference. Young man, I saw the blue-clothed girl beside you, this soul, something is not normal, you are here for this, right?" said the old man with a deep face.

These words contain too much information, first of all, he knows the Origin Conference, and along the way, he attacked those who have heard about the Demon Clan, but no one knows the Origin Conference of the Demon Clan, and he is also from Zhang Shaohan

Secondly, he could see through Bai Zhi's soul at a glance, and secondly, he knew that the Origin Conference had something that could unlock the seal on Bai Zhi's body!

"Senior, who are you?" Zhan Qingxiao had to ask.

"Hmph......," the old man snorted softly to himself, "who's who?

After speaking, he took another sip of wine, Zhan Qingxiao looked at the wine jars spread on the ground, and said cautiously, "You like to drink very much?"

"Drinking? Over the years, I didn't like to drink, I just wanted to get drunk. It's just that since a drunken episode ten years ago, I can't get drunk anymore. The old man had a faint sadness on his face, and it seemed that he had a lot of things hidden in his heart.

"If the junior didn't guess wrong, ten years ago, all the spiritual power in your body was converted into immortal power, so you can't continue to get drunk. ”

"The young man has good eyesight, and it is true, he can see through that the old man is now an immortal. He smiled faintly, and in his tone, he was not very happy to break his mortal body and officially become an immortal. In other words, if you are a mortal and cultivate into an immortal, it is naturally very gratifying, like Jing Zhen has never been able to break through the mortal body and become an immortal, and now he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Only by becoming an immortal will you be free from the suffering of mortals' birth, old age, sickness and death.

"That'...... Since you have become an immortal, why are you?" Zhan Qingxiao wanted to ask why he had stayed in the mortal world instead of ascending to the immortal realm, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that he had made a mistake, after all, how could a stranger know the secret of people's shielding of the Heavenly Dao.

"What?, interested in this?" he smiled slightly, looking at Zhan Qingxiao, as if he wanted to find something unusual from Zhan Qingxiao. "You are only in the fugue stage, and you are still far from the realm of the unity of heaven and man. When you reach the unity of heaven and man, it is better to come to the old man again. ”

"No ......" Zhan Qingxiao denied, he couldn't wait to cultivate this physical body to the realm of the unity of heaven and man as soon as possible, as long as he reached this realm, then his spiritual power would not be as troublesome as that of mortals, and when the time came, he could break the mortal body at any time and ascend to become an immortal.

"Young man, you don't have to be in a hurry to deny it, maybe you may really have to find the old man and get this way to shield the way of heaven. The old man seemed to be able to see through Zhan Qingxiao's appearance that he would definitely be able to soar into an immortal, and smiled faintly.

"If there is really such a need, it will naturally trouble the seniors at that time. ”

"Hmm!" the old man nodded, and then continued, "I can take you to the Demon Clan and take you to the Origin Conference, but as a condition, you have to help me save someone in the Demon Clan." ”

"Save people, save whom? There are still people in our human race who are trapped in the demon clan, and there is no reason to live?" Zhan Qingxiao said suspiciously.

"What kind of person to save, when you get to the demon clan, the old man will naturally find an opportunity to tell you. In fact, the demon clan is not as ferocious and murderous as rumored, eating human flesh and drinking human blood. He said indifferently, "The rumors about these demon clans are just false rumors. It was the people in power at that time who deliberately slandered the demon clan in order to demonize them and prevent humans from coming into contact with them. It has been passed down to the present, and in the eyes of the human beings in the demon clan, it is already heinous. ”

Zhan Qingxiao came to Nanli City, naturally he was fully prepared, so he inquired a lot about the demon clan, and the rumors about the demon clan that he knew were among the people, although they may not be true, but they should not be too outrageous. But now the old man's words completely subverted the impression of the demon clan in his heart.

"Oh? yes. What the younger generation is puzzled about is, since you are already so strong, why do you need my little fugue person to help you save people?" Zhan Qingxiao was quite curious.

"It's just the reward I took you to the Demon Clan's Origin Conference and asked for it. How about it? Do you agree or not? Without the old man, your trip is quite dangerous. Not to mention that humans are hostile to the demon race, the demon race is also very resistant to humans. ”

It's understandable to ask for compensation, but the old man's words are not clear, as long as he goes to the demon clan to save someone, he doesn't say in detail what kind of person he is going to save, and in whom he will save it. Therefore, Zhan Qingxiao is naturally not very willing to accept this matter, for him, what he promised must be completed, even if it is at the cost of his own life, this is his consistent criterion.

"The younger generation can give you silver, as for saving people......."

Before Zhan Qingxiao's words were finished, the old man suddenly became very angry, and said coldly: "Do you think that the old man is very poor?

"You can't even afford to drink. Zhan Qingxiao was not deterred by him, and pointed to the wine tank in that place and said.

"It's just a little mundane thing, it's not worth the old man's trouble! You just say it, promise it or not!" said the old man's face was slightly red, and he said arguedly.

"No, I don't. Zhan Qingxiao didn't think about it, so he said. After all, this old man is now in the late stage of the Heavenly Dynasty, and he is only one foot away from reaching the Immortal Servant, and this kind of strength can almost go sideways in the Five Elements Continent, but now he doesn't make a move, and let others save people, there must be a reason.

Therefore, Zhan Qingxiao is not in a hurry at this time.

The old man looked at Zhan Qingxiao seriously, with a stiff face, looking directly at Zhan Qingxiao, raising his head and drinking all the wine gourd in his hand. And then said, "Do you really want to know?"

Since the gate was open, the wind outside the temple was blowing loudly from the outside into the temple.

At this time, the two were at the tuyere, looking at each other like this, which seemed to be a very strange kind of confrontation. The wind blew on Zhan Qingxiao's face, and he felt a little cold, but his face still didn't change. If the old man wants to save people, he naturally wants to know who the person he saves is and who he wants to save him, so the old man must explain that this is a prerequisite, otherwise Zhan Qingxiao would rather find the origin conference by himself, after all, it is only the beginning of December at this time, and there are still two months before the second day of February next year, and he has time to explore slowly.

"The old man's name is Yuelang. The old man spoke slowly.

"The royal family of the Firmament Empire, the only prince of the human race who has obtained the demon yuan a hundred years ago?" Zhan Qingxiao actually guessed that this old man might be the prince who had obtained the demon yuan, after all, he learned from the shopkeeper that his surname was Yue, and his strength was still so strong. It's just that he didn't think this old man was at most at first

Seventy or eighty years old, and the prince is one hundred and twenty years old, to say the least, right?

"Yes, the old man is the royal family of the Firmament Empire. The current emperor Yue Huairen is the great-nephew of the old man. Yuelang replied.

Yue Huairen is his great-grandson, isn't that the great-grandfather who was born in Yue? Zhan Qingxiao thought to himself, but the age of this great-grandfather didn't look like it at all.

Yue Lang continued: "I am the only human race who has obtained the Demon Yuan, after I obtained the Demon Yuan, in just three years, my realm has been directly improved from the Awakening Period to the Mingxin Period, and then after coming to Nanli City, I had an adventure, and I broke through to the unity of heaven and man in one fell swoop. The person who gave me the demon yuan is the woman I love the most in my life, she is the princess of the demon clan, the elf from the starry sky. ”

Zhan Qingxiao knew that what he was talking about was the woman of the demon clan, who gave him her demon yuan when he was about to die, and was killed by the human race. Speaking of this story, it must also be the pain of Yuelang's life, right?

"Her name is Xingxi, and when I first saw her, she was in Xiangyun Tower, and she sat in the same place I had sat before, drinking quietly. ”

Her smile, her toast, her every movement, her every expression, fascinated me deeply. I remember that day she was wearing a sky-blue cocoon gauze skirt and a string of crescent necklaces, which was so elegant and charming. She laughs like a spring flower, which is especially beautiful. It is easy and not self-sustaining. Taste the peerless color, and restore the posture of the city. Yuelang had already fallen into his own memories, and Zhan Qingxiao was inconvenient to disturb, facing the cold wind, listening to him quietly.

I couldn't suppress my admiration for her, so I came to her. Later, we fell in love. ”

"I took her back to Shenwu City, just when I thought I would marry her and live a happy life. Some people say she's a demon!"

"What's wrong with the demon clan? Can't a demon woman fall in love with a human? I like her as a person, not what kind of race she is!" his tone suddenly raised, looking very angry.

"As in the story of what people say, I fended off a fatal arrow for her, and in order to save my life, she gave me her demon yuan. Although I survived, without the demon yuan, her strength was gone, and I watched her die under the piercing of ten thousand arrows. ”

"She's all dead! What's the point of me being alive? I was so grief-stricken that I wanted to kill my own father and avenge her. However, it was my father after all, and I couldn't do it......"

"Then I came to Nanli City, the city where I had met her. Here, by chance, I obtained the inheritance of Xu Nanli's predecessors and obtained a lot of secrets of the demon clan. As a result, my realm has been elevated to the unity of heaven and man. ”

"From that time, I had the idea of going to the demon clan and going to see the place where she lived. ”

"After arriving at the demon clan, I felt a strong call in my body. I know that it is the call of those who share their lives with the sparse demon elements. There, I saw the living conditions of the demon people. Seriously, it's bad, worse than us humans. The demon race is a race of the jungle, and only by living to the age of one hundred can the demon element in the body have a chance to change, and it can share life with others, so that it can squeeze into the upper echelons of the demon race. If anyone dies, as long as the demon element exists, it can be reborn. And those who live in the upper class are already more than a hundred years old, and those who are not yet a hundred years old can only live at the bottom and do the most painful and tiring things. The demon coins earned every day are also exploited by people from all walks of life, and they can't even eat enough. ”

"And if you want to mutate the demon element in your body, you have to pass the demon clan's demon test gate, and the demon clan with average qualifications can't pass it. Therefore, there are not many people in the entire demon clan who have what we humans call this kind of demon element, and the tens of millions of demon clans are only hundreds of thousands. ”

"I came to the Imperial City of the Demon Clan and met this person who shared his life with Xingxi. His name is Xingji, and he is Xingxi's younger brother. He is also the eleventh prince of the demon royal family. ”

"But he is also a prince who is not taken seriously, he and Xingxi were born to the same mother, but their mother is just an ordinary commoner of the demon clan, because the emperor of the demon clan was born in private, and after entering the imperial city, he was persecuted and died by the other concubines of the demon emperor. And Xingxi and Xingji also had to flee the imperial city because of their mother's death. It's just that Xingji was captured alive in order to protect Xingxi. Locked in the abyss of the flames of the demon clan. ”

Zhan Qingxiao heard his words and knew a rough idea, "You want me to rescue the star set?"

"Hmm. Yue Lang nodded, "Originally, I should have made a move at that time, but at that time, I had just broken through to the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and I sneaked in, and it was a great luck that I was not discovered, and I didn't have the strength to rescue him at all." So after I returned to Nanli City, I have been cultivating all the time. Ten years ago, all the spiritual power in my body was transformed into immortal power, but at this time, I realized that I could no longer make a move. The Immortal Realm's Ascension Platform has been here many times, and I barely resisted the guidance of the Ascending Platform with the help of the artifact left by Xu Nanli's predecessors, and did not fly to the Immortal Realm. But the Heavenly Dao sent down a thunder punishment, and at this time, I knew that if all the spiritual power was transformed into immortal power, it would be forced to ascend, and if it didn't soar, it would have to suffer the Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment. The first lightning penalty has already left me dying, and I will never be able to resist the second lightning punishment. ”

"For this reason, I obtained a treasure that shielded the Heavenly Dao at the Origin Conference, so that I did not suffer the second lightning punishment. It's just that, at this time, I realized that I couldn't make a move...... As soon as I use any bit of immortal power, the lightning penalty will follow. ”

"So, that's why you can't make a shot. Zhan Qingxiao finally understood why he didn't go to the Savior Collection by himself. However, he said, "Where is this flaming abyss? At that time, you were in the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and it was very difficult to rescue him. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for me to rescue him in my fugue period? Do you think too highly of me?"

Yue Lang smiled slightly, the nightlight shining on his face made his frustration no longer so obvious, "Intuition! I think you have the strength to rescue the star set." ”

"Then I thank you for your trust! But I'm afraid I can't do anything. At least, there is nothing that can be done now!" Zhan Qingxiao is not stupid, people in the realm of the unity of heaven and man can only sneak in, and they have to save people from inside, isn't it too fantastical?

"Young man, you are typical of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles. Yuelang said helplessly.

"What's the matter, senior, you are serious. ”
