I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Xie Yuan suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the same happened to Situ Qin, who was carrying Xie Lingyun behind him, and Mu Chaoyun.

His brows frowned instantly. He hadn't noticed that there were other people here before.

Where did this girl come from?
Xie Yuan looked closely and saw that the girl had long hair that fell to her waist and was wearing a loose black robe that reached her ankles. Under the robe was a pair of white and tender bare feet that were directly on the ground.

The girl had pretty features and a very delicate appearance, but her face was extremely pale, perhaps because she had not seen the sun for many years.

At this moment, she raised her head and looked at Xie Yuan and the other three people fixedly. Her eyes moved back and forth between Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun, and she seemed to be confused for a moment.

Xie Yuan said in a deep voice:
"who are you?"

In his perception, the girl's breath was very vague.

With his current strength, this situation is quite rare.

This can only mean that either this girl is extremely powerful, or her skills are extremely special.

The girl fixed her eyes on him and said calmly:
"The last descendant of the Jiuyou Clan, Xi."

"Nine Nether Clan?"

Xie Lingyun lost her voice.

Xie Yuan was also very surprised.

As core members of the Xie family - or former core members, they have all heard of the name Jiuyou Clan.

Especially Xie Yuan, who practiced the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, knew about Xie An's life, and was proficient in the third style, the Nine Netherworlds Demon-Slaying Style, so he must have known the Nine Netherworlds Clan.

Xie An accidentally entered the Nine Netherworld, swept away the demons, sealed the demon leader, and then brought out a group of surviving humans. This experience and enlightenment, in the last stage of his life, turned him into the Nine Netherworld Demon with a strange and murderous style.

The indigenous people brought out from the Jiuyou Realm are the Jiuyou tribe.

Xie Yuan frowned and asked:
"Are you a descendant of the Jiuyou Clan? Why are you here? Could it be that..."

The girl Xi nodded and said calmly:
"This is the Gate to the Netherworld. My clan has lived here for generations to guard the Netherworld."

Xie Yuan and the other three all showed surprised expressions. They didn't expect that this was the legendary place leading to the Nine Netherworlds where demons roamed rampant?
No wonder Mu Chaoyun found that the formation here seemed to be forbidden by heaven and earth, it might be tabooed by heaven and earth.

Xie Lingyun hesitated and said:
"You said you are the last descendant of the Nine Nether Clan? But I read the records of my clan. After the Nine Nether Clan came out, they integrated into the world and have long been no different from the human race here. Moreover, Ancestor Xie An sealed off the Nine Nether and cut off the passage between the Nine Nether World and the human world. The human world should be safe..."

"Is there any eternal and secure ban in the world? If that were true, why would my clan live in the abyss for generations to guard against the invasion of the Nine Netherworld demons?"

Xi looked calm:
"As for those who left, they coveted the world of pleasure and betrayed the Nine Nether clan's teachings. They even attracted outsiders with wolfish ambitions to come here. Naturally, they are no longer considered members of the Nine Nether clan."

Xie Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked behind her, and found that there were many shadows in the mist, which seemed to be a lot of houses. They must be the residences of the Jiuyou clan.

"Where are the rest of your people?"

Xie Yuan asked with a frown.

Xi looked at him, still calm:
“All dead.

“Two years ago, the evil energy of the Nine Nether Gate erupted, and my parents sacrificed themselves to seal the Nine Nether Gate.

"Now I am the only one in the entire Jiuyou clan."

Xie Yuan and the other three were speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.

They obviously didn't expect this to be the situation in the deep valley. After a moment of silence, Situ Qin suddenly asked:
"What did you mean when you said we're finally here?"

Xi glanced at her and looked at Xie Yuan again:

"Because if you don't come again, the gate to the Nine Netherworld will be completely opened. The demons in the Nine Netherworld will pour out one after another, bringing disaster, until the human world becomes another Nine Netherworld."

"Is the situation so bad?"

Situ Qin asked subconsciously, but her voice became a little low at the end.

If what Xi said was true, their entire clan had died in the battle, and she was the only one left, then they were indeed in imminent danger.

only……

"Why us? You knew we were coming?"

Xie Yuan asked in a deep voice.

Xi looked at him, then at Xie Lingyun, with a hint of confusion in his voice:
“Before the catastrophe, Xie An’s descendants will come to give Jiuyou the final seal.

"This was prophesied back then. However... one of you is his bloodline, and the other has his marksmanship. I don't know which one of you it is."

Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Whether it was this wonderful prophecy or Xi's ability to see through the identities and unique skills of the two at a glance, it was somewhat incredible.

Just as they were about to continue asking questions, they suddenly felt the valley shake.

Xi's calm expression suddenly changed. With a whoosh, he turned into a stream of light and instantly fled into the depths of the village.

When Xie Yuan and the others saw this movement, they were again slightly awed.

"Go and have a look."

The four of them looked at each other, and still followed the direction where Shang Xi was going in the dive formation.

In just a moment, they passed through this not-so-small village at the bottom of the valley and discovered that at the end of the valley, there was a huge bronze gate that was ten feet high!
At this time, black light flickered and kept flowing on the huge door, and the huge door had slightly shifted, revealing a little.

With such a huge door, a tiny gap was enough for a person to pass through. Xie Yuan saw something was constantly coming out.

The reason why they are called things is that those creatures are neither like humans nor like humans, neither like monsters nor like monsters, with strange shapes and all kinds of weirdness.

A four-armed humanoid creature, a muddy monster with weapons, a monkey with a bird's face and bat wings...

Many things can give you nightmares just by looking at them.

At this time, Xi was standing in front of the crack in the door, with golden light shining brightly on her hands, like the scorching sun. The monsters let out shrill screams just by touching her light, and some turned into black water or were directly smashed to pieces by Xi.

After a moment, the creatures that emerged were finally cleared away, and Xi made a series of hand gestures, pointed his fingers at the giant gate, and shot out golden light, dispersing the black electric light above.

After purification, the huge bronze gate returned to calm, and although the gap was still there, it was connected by an invisible barrier.

Xi then let out a light breath, turned around, and looked at the four people calmly:

"As you can see, the Nine Nether Gate can't hold out for much longer.

"You must go in and strengthen the ban that Xie An imposed back then."

She looked away twice, passing over the sweet and lovely Xie Lingyun and looking at Xie Yuan.

"Strengthen the seal that Xie An's ancestors placed on the demon? Me?"

Xie Yuan subconsciously pointed at himself.

Although Xie Yuan felt that his strength was still okay, but...

One is a supremely powerful man who is invincible in the world and can fight against the sky; the other is the lord of a world, the Nine Nether Source Demon, who can only seal but not kill him.

Xie Yuan is only at the Grandmaster level, can he do such a job? At least not now.

Xi said quietly:

"The demon has been sealed for a thousand years. Even if the seal has been gradually eroded, it has long been weakened and is no longer the troll it once was. Only someone who has mastered Xie Anzhi's power to a certain degree can re-apply the seal - you, can do it."

Xie Yuan looked at the huge bronze door and the mysterious, ancient, vast and deep patterns on it, and waved his hand:
"I'm just here for tourism... Let the elders of the Xie family do this job. They are more suitable than me."

He paused and asked again:

"How long can this last?"

"I don't know. Maybe a year, maybe a day."

Xi said.

Xie Yuan frowned immediately. Although the incident was very sudden, it was a serious matter and no joke.

Moreover, although he refused, he knew that the powerful elders of the Xie family were either unable to go out or were busy fighting for power and profit, and it was impossible for them to come here and take the risk to perform any sealing.

At least not in a short time. Even if it is confirmed that this is indeed a major event that can cause a world change, it will take at least several months to discuss and confirm, assess the situation and send candidates.

Could it be that I have been caught up again?
Xie Yuan was pondering when he suddenly felt the valley shake violently, even more violently than before.

The bronze door trembled, and the crack in the door slowly opened, expanding a little, and a gust of black wind blew out.

The patterns on it were once again stained with black air, and more monsters emerged.

Xi's face was solemn. He turned around and used golden light to illuminate the entire area of ​​the bronze door.

Another battle ensued. Black blood flowed in front of the bronze gate and soaked into the already black land.

Xi took some effort to reseal the huge bronze door, then turned around and said:

"If this continues, I can only sacrifice myself to seal the giant gate for a moment. However, judging by its condition, I'm afraid it won't last long. If you are unwilling, once the gate is completely opened, demons from all over the world will pour out, and it will be a catastrophe for the world."

"Is that so? Then I'll go."

"Uh-huh?"

Xi was stunned for a moment, looking at Xie Yuan who suddenly became decisive, as if a little surprised.

Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun looked at each other and nodded silently.

What they were looking for was actually in the Nine Netherworld.

When that strong black wind blew out just now, the two people holding the Black Book of Heaven felt it, and felt the aura of the Black Book of Heaven.

Under normal circumstances, even if there was such a treasure, the risk was too great and he would not take the risk out of greed.

However, this huge bronze door was indeed visibly unstable, and he had no confidence that he could convince the elders of the Xie family.

Maybe I'm the only one who got on.

Xie Yuan, Situ Qin and Mu Chaoyun looked at each other, receiving a brilliant, tacit smile and a nonchalant nod, and everything was said without words.

When he looked at Xie Lingyun again, he saw her rolling her eyes and raising her twin ponytails:
"Stop talking nonsense. Maybe the person in the prophecy is actually me?"

Xie Yuan shook his head and turned to Xi:

"What to do?"

Xi looked at them deeply, and then said simply:
"After you enter, go to the highest peak. There is a palace on top, which is where the demon is sealed. After that, you only need to recite the sacrificial text in the palace. You two should try once each, and you will succeed."

She went on to say a lot of things to note, and then asked:

"are you ready?"

Xie Yuan and the other three were all in awe.

Seeing this, Xi recited the incantation and performed the ritual with his hands.

The huge bronze door shook slowly. After a moment, Xi said:

"You can go in."

Xie Yuan looked at the gap, and behind it was a world as dark as ink where nothing could be seen clearly. With golden light shining on his body, he walked in first.

Situ Qin and Xie Lingyun walked side by side. She had already taken out her guqin, which floated in front of her and moved with her.

Mu Chaoyun was walking at the end, and before she was about to step into the gap, she suddenly looked back.

Xi looked at her quietly, his eyes calm.

Mu Chaoyun stared at her for a moment, then turned around and walked into the darkness.

Xi quietly watched the four people walk into the huge gate, and their figures disappeared into the black world in an instant, as if they were swallowed by the night.

Her eyes blinked slowly twice, and were stained with a hint of black.

In the world before Xie Yuan's eyes, the sky seemed to be forever covered with low, thick, inky black clouds.

The world was a little gloomy. The howling cold wind brought a sense of solemnity. The dead branches on the roadside twisted toward the sky, as if a dying person was reaching out his hands.

However, no matter how gloomy the world is, nothing can make people feel chilled like the mountain-like array of strange things in front of them.

Behind Xie Yuan was still the huge gate, and in front of the gate were all kinds of demons, like a legion.

Looking at the monsters all over the mountains, Xie Yuan felt his back tighten.

When the demons in front of them saw the four humans who suddenly appeared, their already confused minds seemed unable to react.

"It's spectacular."

Situ Qin hissed as he looked at this scene.

Xie Lingyun's face turned pale, and she reluctantly said:

"You are really elegant."

"rush out!"

Xie Yuan held a spear in his hand, blood-red flames appeared, and he shouted.

While these demons were stunned, Xie Yuan, with the Indestructible Golden Bell Cover, rushed directly into the demon pile!

Zheng——

Before Xie Yuan could make a move, the sound of the piano arrived, and all the demons in front of him suddenly exploded and turned into a black rain.

Xie Yuan paused, gave a thumbs up to the back, then dodged again and rushed into the demon pile.

Red lotuses rose up, and countless monsters let out strange screams and turned into black ash.

Situ Qin brought Xie Lingyun and followed not far behind Xie Yuan. Her piano skills were extremely suitable for such occasions. Often, a series of piano sounds would cause demons to explode one after another.

Xie Lingyun was stunned. She realized that this beautiful lady, who she usually didn't like, although she often smiled casually, had such terrifying means.

In terms of strength, although the upper limit of these demons is not as high as that of a Grandmaster, the lower limit is at least at the level of an external practitioner. Moreover, they have strange shapes and different physiques, so they are not easy to deal with.

However, under the sound of Situ Qin, they seemed to be just targets, falling down one after another when the music came.

But there are still too many demons.

Mu Chaoyun protected them in the end, allowing Situ Qin to concentrate on playing the piano, producing the continuous sounds of war and killing.

Whenever a demon approached, Mu Chaoyun would cross his palms and a black and white light wheel would fly out, chopping off a large number of demons in succession.

In front of her, the Bagua Lotus floated quietly, and the light enveloped both herself and Situ Qin.

Although the demon army was huge, led by Xie Yuan, the other two used their own methods to slowly and steadily advance outward.

There aren't many powerful monsters here. If they are not yet masters, it is only a matter of time for the three of them to break through.

However, when Xie Yuan was charging forward and sweeping with his spear, and seemed to be having no success, the tip of his spear was suddenly blocked by an enemy.

It was a humanoid creature that looked not much different from a human, except that it was ten feet tall and had a hideous appearance, and it had two extra arms growing on its chest.

Although these arms are short and thick, their muscles are as strong as rocks.

It was this pair of hands that were glowing with a dim light that grasped the tip of Xie Yuan's spear.

The powerful enemy looked at Xie Yuan, stretched his lips to reveal a grin that stretched from ear to ear and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

He held the spear firmly in front of his chest with both hands, raised his two normal arms on his shoulders at the same time, and then suddenly, like a giant hammer, with the spirit to smash the earth, he hammered towards Xie Yuan! (End of this chapter)
