Today I hold the world

It was nearly mid-July.

The border of Huaishan Mountain, outside the Imperial Demon City.

The black mist covering the sky had just dissipated from the early morning, and the final duel with the monster last night was temporarily won at the cost of losing two lives in an army of tens of thousands.

In the central gatehouse of the Imperial Demon City, Situ Yuyi, who had a calm demeanor and said nothing, stared at the list of war dead in his hand, silent for a long time.

He is fifty-nine years old this year, and he has been in the position of commander of the Huaishan Allied Forces for more than seven years. He has been in power for a long time, and his power has gradually deepened. Give birth to respect.

He was not the only one in the hall, at the lower end, the lion's eyes opened quietly, and the burly Lu Linjiao was silent, just waiting for the commander's order.

"Alas, more than 2000 people died. Everyone must be very angry. This battle suffered a great disaster because of my improper command." Situ Yuyi sat slowly on the chair with a sleepy face.

Lu Linjiao's rough voice responded: "Siege the city for several months, whoever will be the commander, it will not be easy to stabilize the situation. Brother Situ, don't blame yourself."

Situ Yuyi pondered for a moment, and said: "You set off immediately, go door-to-door on behalf of the allied forces to stabilize your emotions, and tell them that the sympathetic compensation will be issued within seven days, and that there will be no delay in payment, and your words should be softer."

"My family contributes the most money, your family contributes the most, and the soldiers and valleys produce the most spiritual weapons and armor. What happened to those small forces? In my opinion, the commander is too used to them."

Lu Linjiao accepted the order with cupped fists, flicked the brown Taoist robe, and walked out the door.

Situ Yuyi told him to speak: "It's better to be kind."

"Forget it."

……

After the burly figure left, Situ Yuyi's eyes flickered, and he sighed again for a long time.

Although this Lu Linjiao is one of the most masters among the three generations of Chilongmen disciples, it is a pity that he is upright and straightforward, and he is difficult to get acquainted with people and the world. For so many years, he has only respected those who are better at fighting than himself, and he has simply learned the temperament of his master, Senior Jiang.

Such people are actually not suitable for post-war pension work, but it is a pity that there are too few talents working in the league, and it is too difficult to pick out those who are both trustworthy and capable.

After staring at the list of war dead for a while, a simple-looking man in a Chilongmen Taoist robe walked in. Seeing him, Situ Yuyi hurriedly got up and said with a smile:

"This has just ended, and Brother Su came here, really fast. How about that...?"

The person who came was Su Lie, a disciple of the third generation of the Red Dragon Sect. His cultivation at the first level of foundation building was relatively slow among his peers, but he had always been steady, and because he often served Tao Fangyin. Many Jindan Patriarchs admired him, and even had a faint tendency to chase Jian Yong in terms of commercial reputation.

"You sent a letter to me seven days ago, and I have been waiting at the ancestor's cave. When he left the customs yesterday morning, he only gave me a word." Su Lie's complexion was bright yellow, and his face like an ancient tree was smiling kindly. You know, it's been like this for years.

"What?"

"This is an internal matter of Yunhe Sect." Su Lienian said.

Situ Yuyi suddenly seemed to have lost his soul, his face was sallow.

This time, my old man is critically ill, and the position of the next generation suzerain has not been decided yet. It just so happens that the monsters have been attacking the city for more than half a year this year. As the leader of the Huaishan Allied Forces, he is restrained here. Even if he wants to go back and do something, he has no status .

Chilongmen is the most powerful sect in Huaishan other than his own family. If he does not get the support of this family, no matter how strong Situ Yuyi is personally, it will be difficult to shake his uncle Situ Li. Among the people in that family, Situ Ming and Situ Fei In recent years, Jian has attracted many supporters with good fortune, and he is determined not to let himself become suzerain smoothly.

At such a time, how could Situ Yuyi be reconciled, calmed down, and asked again: "Then the master Zhong of the noble family has returned?"

Su Lie just shook his head.

Situ Yuyi was quite frustrated, took out a storage ring and pretended to be okay: "Since that's the case, I won't mention this matter. I also trouble Brother Su to honor this nourishing thing to Brother Jiang. He was injured two months ago. It's quite serious, I'm afraid it hasn't been raised right now, so we must not leave the root cause of the disease."

Su Lie shook his head and refused, lest Situ Yuyi misunderstand, and explained: "Brother Jiang is in Luoluo Peak, I am not on the way, the door ordered me to go to Dibing Valley, time is tight.

In addition, this time I brought a piece of good news to Brother Dao, Junior Brother Chang is coming from Jindi at this time, so he should be able to do a great job for you in resisting the defense of the Demon City. "

After finishing speaking, he folded his hands and left, leaving Situ Yuyi to think peacefully.

"Junior Brother Chang...Chang Zizai?" Situ Yuyi muttered a few words, and suddenly there was a figure with a thick head and a head carrying a red gourd in his mind.

That is a strong man who has been counted in Huaishan for many years. He is estimated to be less than fifty years old, but his cultivation has reached the peak of foundation building, and he may not be too far away from forming alchemy.

Situ Yu thought in his heart: "More than four years ago, I heard that the head of Zhong took Chang Tao and his two to travel eastward, and they came back these few days. Thinking about it so carefully, isn't Su Lie lying to me?" '

The hall was silent, and Situ Yuyi fell into deep thought.

Outside the Demon City, casual practitioners at the bottom of Qi training are cleaning up the battlefield, carrying those bodies that are still intact onto the cloud boat, and sending them to the tower every once in a while, and they will be dispatched to Huaishan by the scribe who is in charge of identifying people various.

As time passed, the dense magic energy drifted away, and the spirit pattern was reflected in the stream and waterfall under the magic city. When the night came, the sparse rain fell, and the sound of the waterfall was covered a lot.

The casual cultivators who were still cleaning the battlefield on the east, west, and south sides suddenly felt a cold air coming from the south, and looked back one after another, only to see a crowd of snow-scale monsters coming, there were eight if not ten thousand. thousand.

Although their strength has not exceeded the late stage of Qi training, they are as terrifying as a swarm of vicious dogs and bees.

The rogue cultivators who came down to clean the battlefield from the city did their best to do these post-war tasks because of their low strength and hard work. At this time, when they saw the ferocious monsters coming from the south like thousands of troops collapsing, one of them yelled miserably: " My mother, the Ice Demon Dog is here, run!"

The rest were like a frightened flock of sheep, dropping what they were holding, turning around and running away.

In the main hall of the central gatehouse of the Imperial Demon City, Situ Yuyi, who was sleepy and had just fallen asleep, heard an exclamation in his ears. When he opened his eyes, a female monk in the late stage of Qi training hurried in outside the door. This is the younger generation of his family. Always timid, he stammered his lips, "Commander, there is... something outside!"

"Man'er, don't worry, what happened?" Situ Yuyi calmly comforted him, he knew that the girl in the palace had already summoned up his courage to come to the Imperial Demon City to help him.

"There are ice and snow demon dogs attacking the city!"

Situ Yu stood up abruptly, went outside the store several times, stood on the high platform to watch, and sure enough, he saw tens of thousands of ice and snow demon dogs rushing towards him from outside the city.

He quickly ordered his subordinates: "Activate the defensive formation."

"Commander, there are still people below."

"Nonsense, don't I know? If you move slower, those beasts should climb up!"

After being scolded, his subordinates hurriedly waved the spirit flag, and the spirit wall of the Imperial Demon City gradually emerged.

And those casual cultivators in the city cried 'no'.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky glowed bright yellow, and a figure appeared in the rain. He made a formula and recited a mantra: Brother, please draw your sword!

A white light flew out from the mouth of the vermilion gourd at the back, piercing the rain curtain here in an instant, sweeping across the monsters outside the city from east to west, traveling back and forth for twenty miles to the left and right three times, and the number of those monsters fell by a large amount at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Waiting for the white light to return to the gourd behind the figure in the clouds, the remaining [-]% of the monsters on the ground stopped their charge and looked around, not knowing what happened.

******

In the middle of the night, in the old place of Xiaojian Mountain in the lower reaches of the Huaiyin River, Jubao City, which has stood for more than 30 years, is brightly lit. As the first commercial city in the Huaishan area, it is open all year round and has never been closed.

Jubao City accommodates most of the merchants in Huaishan, and the countless caves opened by Lingdi outside the city are also full of retail investors. There are countless Lingshi transactions every day. Fame spread far and wide.

The largest restaurant in the city is the "Shengxianlou" opened by Youyunhezong. It is singing and dancing all day long, just like a fairy palace, which makes every low-level casual cultivator who comes in hard to give up the temptation.

Cultivators are also human beings, and as their cultivation level deepens, their desires will become heavier. To do business in the cultivation world, one has to work harder than in the ordinary world to earn the share of spirit stones.

At this time, Situ Ming, who was standing at the door on the first floor, had a big belly, and the guests who came in and out bowed their hands to him, and he also greeted him with a smile, enjoying the intersection of this scene very much.

Being in a high position, naturally he would not always be a janitor soliciting customers for a living. After exhausting his face, he stepped over the threshold and went straight to the top floor, and his dog legs called a beautiful woman to follow into the room.

The woman timidly stripped off her clothes, her clean body straddled Situ Ming's ugly belly, choked up and down, after a lot of cloud and rain, she buried her head in swallowing again, Situ Ming took a pill, got on the horse, swung his whip and snapped, in a daze During the wave, someone outside the door knocked twice at an untimely time.

"Damn it, which dog doesn't have eyes, and doesn't see that grandpa is doing good things?"

Situ Ming was irritated and pushed hard like a beast, until the female cultivator in front of her was in pain and covered her mouth without making a sound. After pulling it out, she waved her hand to cover her under the veil, quickly put on her clothes, and opened the door to scan her eyes.

As soon as he saw the person in front of him, he immediately sneered: "Brother, why is it you? If you have anything to do, just call someone to pass the message. Why do you need to go there yourself?"

Situ Li wore a black robe to cover his face and frowned. Although he had a square face and small eyes, he was no less fierce than a monk in the Golden Core stage. He reprimanded him coldly: "At this critical moment, what are you doing?"

Situ Ming still wanted to quibble, but seeing the murderous intent in Situ Li's eyes, he was dejected and silently acquiesced.

"Did you find out?"

Situ Ming responded in a low voice: "We've made inquiries, and the one surnamed Zhong hasn't come back yet. No one can move the blood dragon under the Broken Water Cliff. Old man Tao left the customs two days ago and strictly forbids his disciples to get involved in our clan's internal strife. Do not worry.

How could Situ Yuyi alone be able to defeat you? Half the people in the sect support us. If the suzerain is unwilling to hand over power, does he want to see the family split up and the sect collapse?

What's more, his old man can't speak now, you just need to wait for him to return, and we will call for you to be elected as suzerain. "

Situ Li took two steps back and forth in the silent corridor, "Where's Jiang Yuzhou?"

"He is still recovering from his injuries at Luoluo Peak, and Situ Yuyi was dragged in Yumo City and couldn't move, what name did he come to Yijiangshan for?

Besides, even if he really dared to disobey the old man Tao's order, I will immediately reveal the matter of Situ Shiqi's assassination of Yu Xiongzi, and then let the killing god of Eagle Eye Grass Terrace come out to deal with him. Can you deal with Jindan? "

Situ Ming smiled sadly, and Situ Li nodded, standing where he was still meditating.

"Brother, don't worry, why are you always afraid of Chilongmen's intervention in our family's internal affairs?

If that surname Jiang really dares to intervene, everyone in Huaishan will know that he has evil intentions in Chilongmen, so who would want to associate with his family?

After all, there are rules here. If someone surnamed Jiang dares to help Situ Yuyi, my subordinates will go directly to Duanshuiya to coax Sha Datong and Yan Zhenying into hijacking, and the old lady Han in the Chilongmen shop in this city will not be able to escape. ..."

Situ Ming gradually grimaced and sneered: "Although these people are all trash from the Qi training period, it is said that they are the first batch of people who moved from the east with Chilongmen, what happened, hehe, the head of Zhong is famous in Huaishan With the benevolence and righteousness, can you forgive Jiang Yuzhou when you come back?"

Only then did Situ Li dispel his doubts, and he walked towards the stairs on his own. When he was going down, he turned his head and stared at Situ Ming again.

Just as Situ Ming was about to enter the room, he met those eyes and smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, I will go to Dibing Valley to lobby tomorrow. Senior Wu has always done his duty, and it is impossible for him to interfere in our family's affairs."

After the people left, Situ Ming couldn't wait to enter the door, and rubbed his hands with a lewd smile: "Hehehe, little one, I'm here."

Turning over the quilt to take a look, she stared and scolded angrily: "Damn you, you can't bear it."

Bai Jie's delicate body was already icy cold, no matter how slender her waist was and her round butt was beautiful, he could only curse bad luck.

******

Luoluo Peak, the entrance to the Heisha Secret Realm.

Situ Shiqi, who had been waiting for more than ten days, finally saw a figure walking out of the phantom of the dragon gate. He was dressed in black robes, with sword-browed star eyes and a frightening aura.

"You've finally come out. You won't break your promises, right?"

Jiang Yuzhou looked at the person in front of him. The energetic and bright Situ Shiqi had long since disappeared, replaced by a gray-haired old man with messy hair, and his hair was more than half scarcer than ordinary people.

Situ Shiqi has been ugly since he was a child, and his figure is not tall. Jiang Yuzhou was impressed when he saw him for the first time. The past 30 years have been closely intertwined. At this time, if you take a closer look, his lifespan is not long, and his cultivation base is also low. It has been too long to break through the late stage of foundation establishment, obviously there is no chance of alchemy.

"Go, go to the hall and talk." Jiang Yuzhou made a gesture of invitation, and brought Situ Shiqi to the small hall here.

After entering the hall, Jiang Yuzhou poured tea for Situ Shiqi himself.

The two spent a moment in silence, and Situ Shiqi asked, "Your injury..."

"Seven or eight points have been repaired. That monster is very fierce. If it weren't for Yu Yi's help, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape." Jiang Yuzhou's demeanor gradually became quiet.

Situ Shiqi pondered for a long time, "Then..."

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you back then. But you and I need to understand a truth. As early as when Zangfeng Mountain was founded, I was strictly forbidden to meddle in your family's disputes. Now Situ Li's family Obviously stronger than those people you have attracted in recent years, no matter how powerful I am, I can't control the thunder cloud to attack the mountain and force me?

So there must be a plan, who can be killed in order to help him to the top? "Jiang Yuzhou frowned and asked.

When it comes to specific matters, Situ Shiqi knows it well, his gray eyes shine brightly, he thinks for a moment and says: "Situ Ming, Situ Feijian, Guan Yusi, and the Guilingxi family."

Jiang Yuzhou immediately shook his head, "The Guilingxi family can't do it. The Zhen family, Zhen Long, and my senior brother Jian have a very close friendship. If he dies, how can I face senior brother Jian." As he spoke, Jiang Yuzhou stood up thinking, and said:

"About this family, I went back to Zangfeng Mountain to ask Brother Jian to lobby secretly. Zhen Long is by no means the kind of person who wholeheartedly supports Situ Li. He has a keen sense of business, and most likely he thinks that Situ Li being the suzerain of the Yunhe Sect is better than Situ Yuyi. It is more appropriate, most of Huaishan's combat power is under your family's control, and because of the competition for the position of a suzerain, it will take a long time, and the unlucky ones are not their subordinate families."

"Okay, this is up to you!" Situ Shiqi nodded compromised.

Jiang Yuzhou continued to ask: "Isn't Guan Yusi the elder of your sect's Artifact Refining Hall? Why did you also participate in this kind of thing?"

"Well, Situ Ming made a deal with Dibingu, saying that as long as he is willing to support Situ Li to take over the position, Zongli is willing to release him from the shackles and switch to Dibingu to be at ease. How can we agree to this condition? That old thing has been greedy for so many years The refining spirit crystals and water and fire essences are enough to repair all the spirit patterns on the outer wall of Yuyu City, even if he dies, he must die in that seat!" Situ Shiqi's words were full of hatred, wishing to squeeze Guan Yusi to death .

The hall was silent for a long time, Jiang Yuzhou finally asked: "Kill these three people, will Situ Yuyi's obstacles be gone?"

"Of course there are, but the pressure will be greatly reduced. If you kill Situ Ming and Situ Feijian, Situ Li will lose both of his arms. If you kill Guan Yusi, the rest of the sect leaders will be at peace.

The reason why our sect has become like this is because there is no successor of the Golden Pill. If you think about it carefully, with Yu Yi's aptitude, wouldn't it be a matter of time before the alchemy is formed?

His prestige among the younger generation was enough to compete with Situ Li's prestige among the older generation! "

Situ Shiqi was full of confidence. In his later years, this was the only thing he was obsessed with. If he really couldn't do it, all the vicious life-saving actions he had secretly done in the past 30 years would be in vain.

Jiang Yuzhou nodded and said: "Okay, I will kill these three people without anyone noticing. You just need to give me the time and location."

"There is an opportunity now. Situ Ming will definitely go to Dibing Valley in the next few days. You can lurk at the bottom of the Huaiyin River. When he passes by, you will use thunder!" Situ Shiqi took out the spirit map and pointed to the location.

Jiang Yuzhou was about to discuss in detail, when suddenly a boy who practiced Qi hurriedly rushed out of the hall, "Hall Master, Master Tao is back, and Master Jian sent you back to Zangfeng Mountain."

Jiang Yuzhou frowned and scolded: "How dare you barge in without being summoned?"

The little boy burst into tears, "Senior brother Chen just passed by to report that he is in a hurry to go to Duanshuiya, the situation is urgent, please forgive me."

Jiang Yuzhou was surprised: "What's the matter?"

With Situ Shiqi present, the boy was timid and dared not speak. Jiang Yuzhou and Situ Shiqi had known each other for so many years, so how could they care so much at this moment, "Hurry up, what did Shengnian say?"

"The master soul lamp is about to go out." The little boy cried loudly.

"Bastard, what are you talking about?" Jiang Yuzhou cursed and scolded like a thunderbolt in his head.

The little boy was so frightened that his face was pale as paper, and his soul seemed to be lost.

Jiang Yuzhou staggered and took two steps back, pointing at Situ Shiqi: "You must not spread this matter, or I will kill you."

The figure flashed, and the person had already appeared outside Luoluo Peak, flying straight to the north.

******

In the Shenfeng Valley in the Puyang River area, the morning sun was just emerging, and the wind gradually became violent and whistling.

The square box cover of this valley is less than [-] miles away. The mouth of the north and south pots is transparent, and a sharp sword-like cliff is derived from west to east. The tip of the sword is the edge of the cliff. Yuantong, or it may have been too long, the earth and rocks have been worn away, and the remaining material that makes up the cliff at the tip of the sword should be some kind of black iron.

The other end of the sword cliff leans against the mountain wall, and the residual image of Hang Seng on it is a masterpiece completely drawn by the wind force of heaven and earth. Dragons fly and snakes dance. I don't know where it starts or ends.

The cave on the cliff leads directly to the bottom of the valley, and there is a small shelter from the wind a hundred feet south of the cliff, where Ju Kui spent every day during the past two months.

In the past two months, she stared at the withered figure on the cliff countless times, and left twice in the middle. It was the man who woke up and begged herself to buy some things needed to form the alchemy, but what she didn't understand was that, This ghostly place can't even detect the aura, how could it be possible to form a pill.

As for Zhong Ziyan, who was hit by the strong wind on the cliff, these two months are no different from death. He often feels distracted, and he was in a coma for more than 20 days. After waking up, his mouth was dry and his skin was worn by wind and sand. The blood scabs formed and fell, fell and formed.

But he knew that this place was the place he had to pass before forming the alchemy. It was a kind of intuition, as if two people across several time and space were waiting for him to take it after tens of thousands of years. thing.

What is it?He doesn't know, he's waiting.

Recalling all the rumors and records about Kamikaze Valley, I only know that this place has been the territory of the Cumo Sect since 2000 years ago, and it took more than 1000 and 700 years of mining to exhaust the ore veins in this third-level spiritual land. After [-] years ago, few people came.

Time passed, the sun was shining, and after noon, the sky suddenly became gloomy, thunder and thunderbolts rose suddenly, and heavy rain fell in a short while. Zhong Ziyan, who was about to lose his vitality, opened his bloody eyes suddenly, looked up at the sky, and the stars emerged. Those stars flow and change at a speed visible to the naked eye, time changes, stars rise and fall, and the universe turns around.

Ju Kui, who was watching the scene on the cliff at the bottom of the valley, frowned in confusion. In her eyes, the sun was still scorching hot, and the wind was still howling violently. The only difference was that Zhong Ziyan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the sky where there was nothing like a fool. In the clouds, there is a mysterious star force surrounding him.

In the past two months, Ju Kui felt that Qingfengzi was getting weaker every time she woke up. For a moment, she thought in her heart: This person probably won't survive, should she give up.

But when I thought about how boring my life would be if there was such a person missing in the world, I was reluctant to leave.

Now that the fool is looking up at the sky, he has the right to hone his will, let's learn.

So she sat cross-legged on the stone platform and meditated quietly. After an unknown period of time, there was a rumble in her mind, the wind around her body was running involuntarily, thunder flashed in the sky, and thunderbolts were everywhere, and she also saw the same scene as Zhong Ziyan.

But at this time, it was just a scene of rain falling, but the breeze also blew.

Zhong Ziyan murmured to himself: "Call the wind and call the rain...Scatter beans into soldiers...Five mountains shift shape...Xuanxing fights and turns...Dreams enter the sea..."

The mountains and rivers here are changing, and the two of them seem to be entrenched on the top of an ancient mountain. In the endless ocean, there is a giant figure of an old Taoist in gray clothes sitting on the 24th-grade Taolian, and the surrounding figures are flickering. Zhong Ziyan and Ju Kui can't see clearly. There are five dilapidated wooden plaques tied around the waist of the gray-clothed old man, with different names written on each wooden plaque:

Taihua, Youheng, Daizong, Feiheng, Xuansong.
