Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 223: Dark Moon Demon Lord, a conversation between two monarchs!
After seeing this blood-red gate in the sky.

After hearing this voice and feeling the powerful aura of a cultivator of the same realm...

A solemn look flashed across old man Taoyao's face.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Dark Moon Demon Lord, and I invite you to join me!"

The deep voice came from behind the door again.

As the voice fell, a red light turned into a staircase, extending down from the Sky Gate.

The stairs seemed endlessly high, yet so close.

Old man Taoyao was silent for a moment and then stepped onto the red stairs.

Then, the stairs quickly went up.

After a few breaths, old man Tao Yao arrived in front of the Tianmen and pushed open the red door.

Behind the door, an illusory figure was quietly waiting for him.

After seeing this figure, old man Tao Yao's expression became more solemn.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your name?" came the voice of Demon Lord Huiyue.

"Lord Taoyao." Old man Taoyao replied.

The Dark Moon Demon Lord looked at Elder Taoyao and said with a hint of surprise:

"Fellow Daoist, are you a great demon in the transformation stage?"

Old man Taoyao didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Seeing this, Dark Moon Demon Lord asked again: "Why do you want to go against the trend of Qingzhou and destroy the Nether Kingdom?"

"The situation in Qingzhou..."

Elder Taoyao muttered silently, his expression changing slightly.

He shook his head and said:

"I just survived the transformation thunder tribulation, and have not been in contact with the outside world for thousands of years... I don't know the situation in Qingzhou that you mentioned."

After hearing this, Dark Moon Demon Lord showed a look of understanding and asked:

"Why is fellow Daoist so determined to destroy the Demon Sect?"

Elder Taoyao was silent for a moment, and finally said:

"Because of the karma of sealing my mouth... I owe karma and need to repay it."

After hearing this, Lord Dark Moon breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked Elder Taoyao a few more questions, and after a brief conversation...

The Dark Moon Demon Lord sighed and said:

"My friend, you've been used."

"The struggle between good and evil is not something you can participate in... Not to mention fellow Taoist, even if the Master takes action, he cannot stop it..."

"Therefore, fellow Taoist, please go back!"

After hearing this, old man Taoyao frowned.

He already felt something was wrong, but it would be embarrassing to go back like this.

He agreed to it in one breath before coming.

But when he heard that even the "Master" could not stop it, Old Man Taoyao felt nervous.

Master Fanxu!

That is an existence far superior to that of the True Lord of Transformation...

Seeing that Old Man Taoyao was about to retreat, the Demon Lord Huiyue was moved and handed over a jade bottle.

"You have just passed the tribulation and need to consolidate your cultivation... I think this bottle of Jade Dew is what you need."

Old Man Taoyao took the jade bottle with some doubts, opened the stopper, took a sniff, and put it away silently.

"Okay, then I'll go."

After saying this, Old Man Taoyao prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist." But at this time, the Dark Moon Demon Lord stopped him.

"Since you have already transformed, it is not beneficial for your cultivation to stay in the lower world... You should ascend to the spirit world as soon as possible."

"The spiritual world is the destination for cultivators like me."

After hearing this, Taoist Master Taoyao nodded slightly.

After he survived the transformation thunder tribulation, he felt Qingzhou's rejection of him.

Although he can still stay in Qingzhou, his strength has been suppressed to a certain extent, and his perception of the laws of heaven and earth is too vague.

The most important thing is that the spiritual energy and resources in the lower world are not enough to support his subsequent practice.

But Taoist Master Taoyao still had no intention of leaving.

He whispered:

"I still owe karma, so I can't go to the spirit world for the time being."

After hearing this, Dark Moon Demon Lord nodded and said:
"Alright, after you've repaid your karma... I'll prepare a welcoming reception for you in the spirit world."

After hearing this, Old Man Taoyao nodded and pushed open the door behind him.

After Old Man Taoyao left, the smile on Demon Lord Huiyue's face gradually disappeared.

He just murmured:

"Another variable...one less spot for the future."

"The rise of the Demon Sect is an inevitable trend... It seems that we need to speed up our actions..."

……

One day later, the ruins of Longling Sect.

Peach Demon Valley.

Lin Chen, Jiang Liqian and others were still quietly waiting for news in the mysterious peach forest.

There is no peach blossom poison here, so the few people are relatively safe.

During this period, Lin Chen left for a while and returned to Blue Star.

At this moment, Lin Chen, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

However, the crack above the ruins appeared again, and a figure entered it.

The old peach demon is back!

Lin Chen stood up and walked forward, asking:
"Senior, has the Demon Sect been destroyed?"

After hearing this, old man Tao Yao snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and the terrifying aura of Zhenjun Huashen descended.

Lin Chen's entire back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

The old peach demon stared at Lin Chen and asked, "I'm helping you out of kindness, but you want to harm me?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen looked surprised and asked:
"Why do you say that, senior? With your strength... it shouldn't be that difficult to destroy a mere Yuanying force, right?"

After hearing this, Elder Taoyao laughed in anger and asked again:

"Don't you know that behind the Netherworld Country, there is the True Lord Huashen backing them up?"

"You kid, you actually used me as a gun!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen showed an appropriate look of shock and said quickly:
"The juniors don't know!"

"Senior, you can go and ask. The Demon Sect was originally just a small force in the eastern region of Qingzhou... with only one Yuanying Zhenren in charge."

"Later, they fought with the Righteous Alliance for decades! If there really was a True Lord of Transformation... why did the Righteous Alliance persist for so long?"

After hearing this, the old peach demon carefully observed Lin Chen's expression. Seeing that Lin Chen seemed really unaware, the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

Although he was the incarnation of a tree demon, he had not been involved in worldly affairs for thousands of years.

But old people become more shrewd, and Old Man Taoyao is no fool either.

When he left, he also made a special effort to investigate the underworld.

It was discovered that it was indeed as Lin Chen said. Before, only the Nascent Soul level forces had been revealed, and they had been in a standoff with the Righteous Alliance for a long time.

He also investigated Lin Chen's identity and found out that Lin Chen was a cultivator from Changchun Sect.

The reason why he was asked to take action this time was probably because he wanted to avenge the sect.

But even so, the old man Tao Yao still said with a look of surprise:
"Please take back this request. I can't help you...please make some other requests."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this and pointed to the hundreds of peach trees around him.
"Senior, can you give me all the peaches in this peach orchard?"

Letting Elder Taoyao destroy the Demon Sect was just an attempt by Lin Chen.

Returning in failure was also within Lin Chen's expectations.

During these few days, Lin Chen also discussed other requests with Jiang Liqian.

In this peach garden, there are thousands of thousand-year-old demon peaches.

Each one is priceless and almost never seen by the outside world.

If the old peach demon is willing to give it, it would definitely be a huge fortune.

And this requirement is also within the ability of Elder Taoyao.

After hearing Lin Chen's request, Elder Taoyao sneered and said:

"You, the younger generation, are really greedy."

Although he cursed, Elder Taoyao did not refuse directly. Instead, he thought for a while and said:
"I can't give you all the peaches. I have to leave one on every tree."

After saying this, old man Taoyao waved his hand, and the peach trees in the entire peach orchard sensed something.

Hundreds of peach trees trembled at the same time, and thousands of peaches fell in front of Lin Chen under the embrace of peach blossoms.

"A total of four thousand three hundred and twenty peaches..."

"I have fulfilled the first request I owed you. Do you have any other requests?" Old Man Taoyao urged.

Lin Chen collected all the more than 4,000 peaches and shook his head.
"Senior, one more missing."

Old man Taoyao was stunned when he heard this.

But when he saw Lin Chen pointing at the tempting peach in his hair, his face suddenly turned dark.

"Young man, don't be too greedy! You have such a big appetite!"

Lin Chen smiled but did not respond.

He finally figured out that the most precious peach in the peach orchard was the one on old man Taoyao's head.

The magical peaches produced by those hundreds of thousand-year-old peach trees can greatly increase the magic power of Jindan monks.

It is also of great use to Nascent Soul cultivators.

And the magic peach on old man Taoyao’s head...the effect will be even more amazing!
Old man Taoyao was silent for a while, then silently picked the peach on his head and handed it to Lin Chen.

"Heh, I've never seen a young man as greedy as you!"

Lin Chen put away the demon peach and carefully placed it in a jade box for safekeeping.

"Senior, you are the most generous person I have ever met." Lin Chen flattered.

After hearing this, Elder Taoyao snorted and asked:

"Hmph, if you have any other requests...please let me know!"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Junior has no requests for the time being."

Lin Chen didn't want to use the favor of the transformed demon easily, as it might come in handy in the future.

Elder Taoyao was not surprised after hearing this. He pondered for a moment and said:
"ten years!"

"I will stay in the underworld for ten years... During these ten years, you can make two requests of me."

"Ten years from now, I will ascend to the spirit world...it won't be easy for you to see me then!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded silently.

Ten years... is more than enough!

Ten years later, Lin Chen would be at least in the middle Nascent Soul stage... or even in the late Nascent Soul stage.

There is almost no danger in Qingzhou.

And these two favors from Old Man Taoyao will also allow Lin Chen to spend the next ten years safely.

"In that case, thank you for your help, senior!" Lin Chen bowed.

Although the relationship between him and Old Man Taoyao is one of mutual exploitation.

But neither side suffered a loss, Lin Chen helped Tao Yao overcome the tribulation, and Tao Yao returned the favor.

There's no need to make the relationship too awkward.

Elder Tao Yao waved his hand, and a stream of energy shot into Lin Chen's body.

Afterwards, a peach blossom-shaped mark appeared in Lin Chen's hand.

"Young man, I will soon close this relic. I will be in seclusion in it for the next ten years..."

"With this mark, you can freely enter and exit the ruins and contact me."

Lin Chen looked at the mark on his hand and nodded slightly. He didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Old man Tao Yao waved his hand, and a huge crack appeared on the dome of the ruins again.

An invisible suction force seemed to drive everyone out of the ruins.

Lin Chen vaguely saw that many cultivators in the inner and outer ruins were sent out by the suction force.

Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian looked at each other, then asked Elder Tao Yao:

"Senior, can I stay in the ruins for a while longer?"

After hearing this, Elder Taoyao raised his eyebrows and said:
"Is this the second request you've made?"
