After Lan Lan was taken away, Li Yunchen's speed was also about twice as fast, and after crossing four or five large mountain ranges, he stepped into a plain.

Judging from the exploration of the Divine Demon Eye, the Divine City in the mouth of the blood civet should be not far ahead, because he felt a strong breath of life, which was completely different from the barren mountains and mountains.

Although it is a plain, there are not many villages and no sects as far as the eye can see, and it takes a long time before a family appears.

In order to inquire about some news of the Divine City, Li Yunchen walked over. The family was very simple, with only a few pieces of dilapidated porcelain in a thatched house, and a straw mat, and nothing outside the house except a vegetable patch.

Li Yunchen learned that there was an old man and a child who lived here all the year round, and the two ancestors and grandchildren lived here all the year round, relying on each other for their lives, living a life like idle clouds and wild cranes, and they were all ordinary mortals, not monks, and they had not even opened up the pill.

"Uncle, it's the first time I've come here, and I don't know much about this area, so I want to ask if there is a divine city in front of you?" Li Yunchen walked to the vegetable field and asked.

The old man who was busy raising his head and looked at Li Yunchen, and then continued to pick vegetables. "The Divine City you're talking about is Jiuyao City. After a while, the old man's voice came.

"Jiuyao City?" Li Yunchen thought in his heart, not knowing if it was the divine city that the blood civet said.

Seeing Li Yunchen's face full of confusion, the old man continued: "Jiuyao City, also known as Jiuyao Divine City, is divided into nine seats, each of which is governed by a god king, and the territory is boundless and vast. As the name suggests, Jiuyao refers to the seven stars of the Big Dipper and the auxiliary two stars, so the nine divine cities are: Sun Yao City, Moon Yao City, Jin Yao City, Mu Yao City, Water Yao City, Huoyao City, Tuyao City, as well as Rahu City and Jidu City, I don't know which one you are going to?"

Li Yunchen was asked at once, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to pick one casually, and said hesitantly: "Day...... Let's go to Sunshine City. ”

"Sunrise City is the closest divine city to here, and it will be fifty miles away. The old man responded.

"Then these nine divine cities are a whole or do they work independently?" Li Yunchen then asked, his purpose was to find the ancient Daotai so that he could teleport to the southern part of the Western Regions, if the ancient Daotai was not in Riyao City, it would be a waste of time to go.

The old man suddenly stopped what he was doing, and then sighed: "Jiuyao has been in the same vein since ancient times, in the past, the sun was called the sun, the moon was called Taiyin, the fire was called Yingchao, the water was called the star, the nine stars were aligned, and the sky and the Tao were combined. But now, Jiuyao is going the opposite way, dividing into multiple poles, and there is no unity at all. ”

Li Yunchen was stunned when he heard what the old man said. He was surprised why an old man who was extremely ordinary and had not even stepped into the cultivation could have such an opinion, could it be the reason why he lived near Jiuyao City?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and even felt that this old man was not as simple as he seemed.

After inquiring about some related news, Li Yunchen decided to leave, and before leaving, the old man gave him a wooden gourd containing clear spring nectar.

"The climate of Riyao City is hot, and the fire is very heavy, so bring some water to clear the heat and relieve the heat, so as not to be attacked by the fire poison. ”

Li Yunchen took the gourd, thanked him and left. On the way, he was holding a wooden gourd, and after watching it for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and then stopped abruptly, shouting in his heart that it was not good.

"Why did I forget her, I'm in trouble now......" Li Yunchen took out the purple gold gourd, and when he opened it, he found that the blonde woman was almost frozen into an ice sculpture.

When he was in the Dead Lin Kingdom, because he was locked in the realm of the gods for half a year, he followed Duan Tianling out of the ancient domain after he came out, so he subconsciously ignored the blonde woman, and he didn't think of it until he saw the wooden gourd just now.

"The Central Plains Ancient Domain has only been opened once in hundreds of thousands of years, and it is impossible to send her back now. Li Yunchen released the blonde woman, and then baked it with a ghost to melt the ice.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demon Venerable also floated out, his aura was almost the same as when Li Yunchen first saw him, and the remnant soul nourishment of the ancient gods and a year of recuperation had allowed him to fully recover.

"It's actually broken, three days, it's really impressive. Demon Venerable looked at Li Yunchen and exclaimed.

Li Yunchen ignored it, and concentrated on helping the blonde woman dissolve the cold, and as the power of the Yin of the Taiyin Water subsided, the blonde woman also regained her consciousness and woke up.

Not unexpectedly, when the blonde woman woke up and saw Li Yunchen, she was so angry that she even performed the Nine Heavens Divine Dance to kill Li Yunchen.

"What a crazy woman......" Li Yunchen avoided the attack, and stayed dozens of meters away from her before stopping, "I don't want to do anything with you, and besides, you're not my opponent, if you don't want to be locked in the gourd anymore, stop me." ”

The blonde woman was wearing a golden silk ancient phoenix robe, her slender legs were exposed, and her twin peaks rose and fell with her breathing, she glared at Li Yunchen viciously and gritted her teeth.

Seeing that the blonde woman finally calmed down, Li Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I got you out of the gourd to let you go, but this is no longer the Dead Lin Country, you can decide for yourself where you want to go in the future." ”

The blonde woman was stunned, she had just been so immersed in anger that she didn't notice her surroundings, and when she realized that she was surrounded by mountains instead of deserts, she became stunned for a moment.

"What is this place?"

"The Western Regions of China are vast and vast. Li Yunchen said: "I didn't do it to bring you here, but this continent has countless forces, and the strong are like clouds, and it is much stronger than the declining Dead Lin Kingdom." If you cultivate here, both your strength and your vision will increase significantly. ”

The blonde woman's confused eyes gradually recovered, and she became fierce again, Li Yunchen said this, which means that she can't go back, so she can only accept this fact.

"Shenzhou is vast, there are many opportunities, and of course there are many dangers. Li Yunchen put away the purple gold gourd and continued to move towards Jiuyao City, leaving the blonde woman alone in the barren mountains and wilderness.

The demon venerable who came out together didn't go back to the gourd again, and it was time to come out to breathe after being stuffy for too long, he followed Li Yunchen and asked about what had happened in the past two years.

Li Yunchen roughly summarized the encounter between the Demon Realm and the Dead Lin Kingdom, but he mentioned very little about the death of the Black Wind and the Demon Emperor, as well as the Silent Annihilation Forest, and he avoided it as much as possible.

"I'm curious about who the demon god who brought you to the Dead Lin Kingdom is. In the process of listening, the Demon Venerable has always been more concerned about this.

"His name is Duan Tianling, not only is he gifted in cultivation, but his attainments in alchemy are even more amazing, and he is already a great alchemy power at a young age, even in the dark night. Li Yunchen said.

"Oh?" Demon Venerable frowned, deep in thought, "Remember when I told you, when I brought the other two Demon Venerables to the Demon Tower a thousand years ago, I felt a terrifying aura on the third layer, if I guessed correctly, it was also from the divine body, and that person's soul power was superb, and it was very likely that he was also an alchemist." ”

"Do you mean that the person who made you jealous of the third layer at that time was the same person as Duan Tianling?" Li Yunchen's heart jumped, and then he waved his hand and said, "This is impossible, Duan Tianling is only in his early twenties at most, how could it be him when you met him a thousand years ago." ”

"Yes. Demon Venerable smiled, no longer pondering.

Later, Li Yunchen told some things about the demon beast, including the alchemy farmer's snatching, and the Dead Emperor's Mausoleum was also mentioned by the way.

"Dead Emperor's Mausoleum, the demon beast is actually targeted by them!" Demon Venerable's expression changed drastically, as if he had suddenly changed into a person.

"What, have you been in contact with them?" Li Yunchen was a little curious about the Demon Venerable's reaction.

"It's not just contact, I worked with them a thousand years ago. ”

"Cooperation!" Li Yunchen's heart was full of waves, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

The Demon Venerable groaned, revealing some of the secrets of the Dead Emperor's Mausoleum. "In the Shenzhou Continent, there are many powerful forces, among which the Tomb of the Dead Emperor is the most mysterious. They seem to have a close connection with the underworld, and they have been collecting wraiths since their creation, absorbing them with the ancient emperor tablet, as if they are studying the method of immortality, and to put it bluntly, they are to become immortals. ”

Li Yunchen listened attentively, he would go to the Death Emperor's Mausoleum to rescue Lan Lan in the future, and he might be able to get something useful from it.

"But then I found out that their purpose was not as simple as immortality. In the Tomb of the Dead Emperor, there are many ancient alchemists, who only study alchemy, but never involve blade magic weapons. These alchemists used a large number of wraith souls as materials, some of which were even emperor souls, to refine the immortal elixir, and it is rumored that the living can gain eternal life after swallowing this elixir, and the dead can be brought back to life after swallowing it, I guess they are trying to revive a certain ancient emperor. ”

Li Yunchen shuddered, the ancient emperor was revived, it could definitely compete with the lord of all walks of life, the ambition of the Dead Emperor's Mausoleum was too great.

"These are all things I learned when I worked with them, thousands of years ago I provided the Demon Clan's Revenant Soul to the Tomb of the Dead Emperor, and in return, they would give me an immortal elixir. Demon Venerable said.

"And this kind of good thing?" Li Yunchen didn't believe that the Dead Emperor's Mausoleum would make such a loss-making transaction.

Demon Venerable smiled helplessly: "It's not a good thing, the immortal elixir has always been under research, and its pill effect thousands of years ago only increased the longevity of a few hundred years, I don't know how the development has been now." Moreover, I was plotted in a cooperation thousands of years ago, and my serious injury was also at that time, which is also the direct cause of the decline of my strength. ”

Who was the one who injured the Demon Venerable, Li Yunchen didn't ask much, he recalled that the alchemy master seemed to be seriously injured by someone, and he couldn't help but make some speculations.

Someone chatted, time naturally passed quickly, and before he knew it, Li Yunchen arrived in Riyao City, and in order to facilitate his actions, he still put the demon venerable into the purple gold gourd.

Although it is a city, it can occupy an extremely wide area, and its wealth is comparable to that of the ancient city of Xingmeng. And just as the old man said, the fire in the city was very heavy and unusually hot.

Entering the city, it is obviously much more lively, with a lot of traffic, people coming and going, all kinds of shops, weapons and armor.

Li Yunchen walked through the streets, thinking about how to inquire about the news of the ancient Daotai, but when he passed by a tavern, he involuntarily walked in.

"After running around for so long, let's treat ourselves first. Li Yunchen found a quiet corner, ordered a few signature dishes, a jar of spirits, and then enjoyed.

"Huh, isn't that the son of the Sun Yao Divine Son, Li Wenxuan, how could he appear in such a place?"

"There's nothing surprising about it, although he is the son of the sun, but he doesn't do his job all day, he is idle, and he often wanders around the city, I have seen it many times. Another explained.

Li Yunchen's divine sense is very strong, and his sense of hearing is naturally very keen, and he can hear the words of both of them very clearly.

Looking in the direction that the man pointed out just now, a handsome man in white was holding a paper fan, watching chess on the side, and there were two attendants behind him, it seemed that it should be Li Wenxuan, the son of the sun.

may be caused by the hot climate, Li Wenxuan's skin is dark, but he has long eyebrows like willows, his body is like a jade tree, and he also has the demeanor of a son.

"Sunyao Divine Son......" Li Yunchen took a sip of the spirits, and the corners of his mouth curled. He was at a loss for what to do next, and now a great opportunity was in front of him.

"Which of them do you guess will win?" Li Wenxuan shook the paper fan and asked the two attendants in the back.

Playing chess was an old man and a young woman, both of whom were very skilled in chess, and had thought for a long time about every move, but at this moment it had reached a stalemate, and the victory or defeat was in the same thought.

"It should be this old man, he has a steady chess style, both offensive and defensive. An attendant guessed.

"I think it's the woman, her chess moves are weird, her offense is fast, and she slowly pushes people into a dead end. The other disagreed, offering a rebuttal.

Li Wenxuan frowned, and then continued to watch the chess, and at this moment, Li Yunchen's voice came.

"It's a draw, no wins or losses. ”

At the same time as the words were spoken, the chain of death on Li Yunchen's wrist was emitting dark power, and the golden light in the Eye of Horus was flowing non-stop.
