92. I don't believe you for a second.
Another world of demons.
Teng Xie was sitting cross-legged in meditation when demonic energy surged from his left hand, while his right hand activated a Taoist artifact. The two energies, one black and one white, converged in front of him to form a Tai Chi sphere that kept rotating.
Subsequently, the Dao and the Demon gradually became compatible, and the Tai Chi sphere gradually turned gray.
After a long while, Tengxie dispersed it and slowly shook his head.
The yin and yang have become increasingly stable through their integration, but no matter how stable it becomes, it is still in an excited state. There is still a long way to go before it can be traced back to its unexcited ground state...
Just as Teng Xie was about to go and search through the Taiji Xuan again, he suddenly received a message from Ren Chenfu, saying that Gui Liang Tianxia had come looking for him again.
Not long after.
Teng Xie then met Gui Liang Tianxia, whose face was ashen.
"The lord seems to be in a bad mood?"
Even someone as shrewd and calculating as Gui Liangtianxia couldn't control his expression well, which shows how terrible he must have felt.
Just before, after he obtained the power to shake the heavens, with three divine artifacts in hand, he no longer worried about what secrets the brocade pouch of the secrets of heaven might contain. He was confident that he could defeat any conspiracy with his own strength.
So he went to the Star River Ladder with confidence, but as soon as he entered, the pre-set formation inside exploded.
Then Su Huanzhen, Ye Xiaochai, and Zhao Muzun surrounded him. If it weren't for his Cangtian Xing, he would have been left there by the three of them.
Even so, he was slightly injured, which allowed Yin Qiujun to take advantage of the situation and launch a sneak attack, using a technique called "Seven-Day Suspension Severance" to ambush him.
If he does not obtain the Thousand Herb Fruit, which only grows in the Thousand Sorrows Ravine, within seven days, his cultivation will be severely damaged, and he may even be in danger of losing his entire foundation.
Zhao Muzun, Su Huanzhen, Yin Qiujun... Thinking of these three people, Gui Liang Tianxia couldn't help but clench his fist secretly. He would repay this gift a hundredfold!
Furthermore, he must also obtain the Unbreakable Protection before he can truly be fearless!
"Lord of the Manor?"
Teng Xie saw that Gui Liang Tianxia had lost his focus and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. The sharp senses had completely taken control of the old cunning man's thoughts.
If this old schemer is given enough time... will the five divine artifacts completely possess him and resurrect him as that ancient demon?
"Excuse me, something just suddenly came to mind."
Gui Liangtianxia snapped out of his daze, immediately suppressed his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "General, I have come here today to borrow the Key of Creation."
Gui Liangtianxia could certainly guess that Su Huanzhen and the others would ambush him at Qianchoujian, but why would he go to such lengths? He simply used the Key of Creation to heal his injuries, and the predicament was soon resolved.
"Oh dear, it seems the Lord's attempt to climb the Star River Cloud Ladder is not going smoothly?"
"Um."
Gui Liangtianxia nodded. "To be honest, General, Su Huanzhen is cunning and treacherous. This time, I was outmaneuvered."
"Lord of the Manor need not be angry. Su Huanzhen failed to subdue you, which is a failure on his part... but it seems he did not gain nothing?"
Gui Liangtianxia knew that this matter could not be kept secret, so he nodded and admitted, "That's right. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the General, but I was secretly attacked by Yin Qiujun and was hit by his Seven-Day Suspension Technique."
"Ah, this is a martial art that has been lost to the Bitter Realm for a long time, and Yin Qiujun has actually learned it."
"The War General is indeed knowledgeable. So, the Key to Creation?"
"The Lord of the Manor must have anticipated that Su Huanzhen and the others would lure you into a trap at Thousand Sorrows Gorge, hmm..."
After a moment's thought, Teng Xie, who was already familiar with Teng Xie's style, immediately said, "Commander, I have found a clue to the Yin-Yang Bone."
"Oh? The Lord of the Demon Realm is indeed capable and hardworking. However, the Demon Realm has no immediate plans to turn against Su Huanzhen and the Public Court. If Su Huanzhen doesn't find anyone at Thousand Sorrows Ravine, he'll surely guess the reason. When he comes to me then, I'm inclined to give him an explanation."
Upon hearing this, Gui Liang Tianxia's expression darkened slightly. "Hmm? Is the War General refusing me?"
"Please don't be anxious, Lord. I simply want to achieve the best of both worlds. Let me ask first, has your identity still not been exposed?"
No.
"That's good. So, the one going to the Star River Cloud Ladder isn't the Lord of the Manor, but the Demonic Monk Bu Dong. It makes perfect sense for him to go to Thousand Sorrows Ravine. Whether I help the Lord of the Manor retrieve the Thousand Herb Fruit, or the Lord of the Manor waits for an opportunity to act, won't that solve the Lord of the Manor's problem?"
"Wouldn't that prevent you from falling out with Su Huanzhen?" Gui Liang Tianxia cursed the little fox under his breath again, but had no choice but to accept the suggestion. "I just didn't want to trouble General Zhan too much. In that case, I'll have to trouble General Zhan."
"So, the Yin-Yang Bone?"
"The Yin-Yang Bone is exactly round."
"Is it him?"
Tengxie feigned surprise, "That peculiar ape tribe member who was adopted by Jin Baoyin?"
"Indeed, after extensive investigation, I discovered that he is a naturally bipolar individual, however..."
"But so what?"
"However, the Yin-Yang Bone is extremely special. Yuan'er has also been transformed by the Heavenly Secrets, completely shedding her beast form. Therefore, if we want the Yin-Yang Bone, Yuan'er needs to willingly offer it up. Forcibly taking it out will damage the Yin-Yang Bone."
"Oh dear, is that so?"
Teng Xie feigned even greater surprise, but inwardly he cursed, "You old cunning bastard, I don't believe you for a second."
Gui Liangtianxia was completely making this up, but he said with feigned seriousness, "That's right, this matter is absolutely true. I once took care of Yuan'er for a period of time, and my daughter-in-law has a deep affection for Yuan'er. I can help the General make this happen."
"So if I don't help you, you'll still cause me trouble, right?" Teng Xie cursed under his breath again, but then feigned understanding and said calmly, "That would be perfect. I'll make some preparations and then head to Thousand Sorrows Ravine. Lord, await my good news."
Seeing this, Gui Liang Tianxia finally smiled a little. "Ha, then I'll have to trouble General Zhan to take care of it."
As soon as Gui Liangtian left, Teng Xie laughed and cursed, "You old cunning bastard, just wait and see how this show ends."
Upon hearing this, Ren Chenfu couldn't help but say, "Does the War General believe that Gui Liang Tianxia has ulterior motives and is deliberately manipulating the Demon Realm?"
Teng Xiexin said that Lao Yinbi's heart and lungs were so dirty and he ruined the business. Even making braised dishes would be too dirty for him. What good intentions could he possibly have?
"Heh, I imagine news of the Demon Realm's interest in Yuan'er will soon spread. Mr. Ren, ask the Queen to send a spy to contact Yuan'er and try to get closer to her."
"Restoring the Path of Resentment, if any situation arises that even the Blade Plague cannot handle, you must go to provide support immediately."
The three former gatekeepers, Shesheng Tongzi, Biejian Kuanghua, and Yuanhuo Tianhuang, each had their own exclusive spatial passages, allowing them to instantly reach any spatial coordinate controlled by the demon realm.
Moreover, this exclusive passage is also a secret realm, making it the most suitable combat environment for the three guardians.
However, such a dedicated passage would naturally consume a lot of energy. At that time, with the death of the two gatekeepers and the relocation of the Demon Realm's base, the gate passage was no longer used.
Now is the time to put it into use.
After Ren Chenfu and Shesheng left, Tengxie used a secret method to telepathically ask Tunfo Tongzi, "By the way, how did things go with your conversation with Xiaotan?"
