Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

From the outside, there were clouds of disaster and roaring thunder, but when one went inside, everything was peaceful and quiet. There was only a golden beam of light that went straight into the sky, and no one knew where it led to.

"No! The thunder tribulation is over!"

He was startled.

It had been less than five hours since I received the news and brought people here, and the ascension thunder tribulation had already ended!

In other words, that mysterious monk actually survived the ascension thunder tribulation that would take ordinary people several days to survive in just five hours! ?

How strong will he be then?

"Get out!"

When the corpse demon thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart. He no longer cared about Si Lou's orders and was about to take his people away from this place of trouble.

But at this moment, the surrounding space suddenly solidified.

The corpse demon paused, but in a moment he broke free from his restraints, flapped his wings behind him, and instantly fled thousands of miles away.

But his subordinates didn't have this ability. Several demons in the tenth realm were imprisoned in the spot, with expressions of extreme fear.

A golden beam of light flashed, and Yin You and his companions walked out of it.

Yin Ci's figure flashed, and the next moment he was thousands of miles away, and saw the fleeing corpse demon.

She swung her arm and launched a spiritual attack.

The corpse demon's soul was injured and he staggered immediately. He turned his head and saw a black-robed figure following behind him.

Although he couldn't see her face or figure clearly, he had heard of this style of dress many times.

Xuelingxu is kind!

A powerful person of the tenth realm who is proficient in the ways of soul and space.

More than 20 years ago, the Imperial Master arranged the overall situation and teleported her, Ao Qingyue, Yin You, and Kong Miaoyin to the collapsed path of ascension.

I am still too late. The cultivators who were trapped on the road to ascension have already returned to the Five Realms!

The corpse demon had no intention of turning around and fighting. Regardless of whether he could win or not, once he was dragged down and the enemy's reinforcements arrived, he would still die!

Therefore, he burned his essence without hesitation, and his speed instantly increased by 50%!

Now only Yin Ci is chasing him, so he still has a chance to escape!

But soon the corpse demon felt despair, because several miles in front of him stood a man in white clothes, his whole body covered in chaotic light.

Yin You looked at the corpse demon who wanted to turn around and escape, condensed the chaotic sword light in his hand, and slashed down at his back.

The sword light streaked across the sky and slashed on the wings of the corpse demon, grinding it into powder.

The corpse demon's speed all lies in its wings. Now that the wings are destroyed, its speed suddenly decreases.

He gritted his teeth, and his body flashed and turned into two people, going in different directions.

There was a flash of light on Yin Ci's body. He chased after the corpse demon closest to him and killed it after several rounds of fighting.

Kong Miaoyin, who had just arrived, also chased after the other corpse demon. More than 20 years had passed, and she had already consolidated her cultivation in the Tenth Realm. In addition, she still had the memories of her past life. Her combat experience far exceeded that of ordinary people, and she killed the corpse demon in just a few rounds.

Yin You did not chase after it, but came to the place where the corpse demon had just split into two, stretched out a palm towards the earth, and pulled it back suddenly.

A tiny man only an inch in size was pulled out from the depths of the earth by him. His appearance was exactly the same as the corpse demon, just a smaller version of the corpse demon.

It turned out that this was the real body of the corpse demon. He had just used the secret method of his race to create two clones that flew in two directions, hoping to divert the pursuit of Yin You and others. Then his real body was lurking deep in the earth, waiting for the opportunity to leave.

This is the secret method of the corpse demon race. Except for the fact that the combat power of the two clones is not as good as the original body, the rest of the aura is the same as the original body, which can easily confuse the enemy.

But he didn't know that Yin You had already recovered all his memories. In the past, because of his naivety, he had studied in depth the racial secrets of various races in the demon world, including the racial secrets of the corpse demon race.

Therefore, he saw through the corpse demon's trick at a glance and did not chase the two clones. Then, after carefully exploring the surroundings with his spiritual sense, he indeed found something wrong deep in the earth and pulled out the corpse demon.

Yin You had no habit of wasting time talking to demons, so he immediately placed one hand on the demon's head and began to use his soul-searching technique.

Sure enough, even though he was the Demon Lord and his status in the demon world was second only to one person and above everyone else, the corpse demon's soul was still restricted by a certain existence to prevent anyone from snooping into his memory.

Of course Yin You could crack it by brute force, but the memories he would obtain would be fragmented rather than complete, and it would be very easy to miss some key clues.

Therefore, he did not act rashly, but instead used a secret technique to put the corpse demon into a deep sleep, and then stood there, waiting for his master and Kong Miaoyin.

Not long after, the two returned.

The corpse demon clone is only equivalent to the weakest tenth realm, and will disappear like air after being killed.

The three of them flew back to Xuanyue City together.

With the method that Yin Ci had used to confine space, Ao Qingyue easily suppressed these Tenth Realm demons. Even the Tenth Realm demon who was watching Xue Qingyou and others outside Xuanyue City was severely injured by her sword and had no power to resist at all.

"Uncle Master!"

"Uncle Yin!"

"Fellow Daoist Yin You!"

Xue Qingyou, Qin Muyun, Zhan Qing and others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yin You return.

But there is still a question lingering in their minds: where did Ao Qingyue, Yin Ci, Kong Miaoyin and others come from?

Yin You shook his head: "Let's talk about this later. Let's leave here first."

Without hesitation, they took the captured demons and left Xuanyue City.

……

And on a high platform in the center of a mysterious space, a demonic crown emitting monstrous demonic energy was suspended in the air, as if absorbing something, and an ominous aura emanated from its body, as if a living creature was breathing in and out.

In front of the crown, a thin man with dark skin was sitting cross-legged, his eyes were closed and his expression was indifferent.

"what?"

Until one point, he seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying black light flashed by.

"The corpse demon failed."

he whispered.

Chapter 342: Victory or defeat, the final bet

This thin man was none other than the Demon Emperor Master, Si Lou.

Although Stu's soul search of the corpse demon just now was only a quick hit and it retreated, the keen-sensing Si Lou had already noticed something unusual.

That’s right, Si Lou was the one who planted taboos in the corpse demon’s soul.

"It has only been more than four hours now. Judging from the speed of Corpse Demon and others, they should have just arrived in Xuanyue City not long ago..."

Based on all the information, Si Lou speculated and pondered the whole incident in his mind: "Several Tenth Realm demons were defeated in less than half an hour. It would be fine if it was others, but the corpse demon has an extremely mysterious racial secret method. Even if I were there in person, I would not be able to capture him in such a short time. But someone has done what I can't do..."

"That is to say——"

Si Lou's eyes flickered, and a hint of understanding appeared on his face: "Those people have been released."

Looking at the five domains today, there are less than a handful of cultivators with such strength, and most of them are not in Xuanyue City. The only ones left may be the great man and his disciples who led the cultivators of the five domains into the demon world a hundred years ago.

Si Lou couldn't help but fall silent.

More than twenty years ago, he spent a huge price, even sacrificing his own tenth-realm clone that he had worked so hard to condense. With the help of various coincidences, he was lucky enough to send those people out of the five realms and to the ascension road that had collapsed and was like a cage.

"pity……"

a long time.

He sighed softly.

It is obvious that if he is given another ten years, he can help the demon world completely annex the five domains. By then, not only will the crisis of destruction in the demon world be resolved, but it will also go a step further and become a more powerful world.

What a shame! What a shame!!

After all, it is not as good as God.

Just at this moment, those who had escaped from the Five Realms through his painstaking planning came back.

Si Lou knew better than anyone how powerful those people were. Now that they had returned, the original plan could not be carried out.

It seems that it is time to start the final plan.

Thinking of this, Si Lou's deep eyes seemed to have a dark flame burning silently: "Although I was born too late and could not catch up with the war a hundred years ago, today's battle will far surpass all the battles in the past and future."

"bring it on,"

"Let's fight to our heart's content, with the two worlds at stake!"

"The winner gets everything, the loser loses everything!"

As he said this, a look of fanaticism appeared on his face.

……

Cang Lei Holy Sect.

"Reporting to all the lords, the demon boat suspected to be carrying the Demon Lord Corpse Demon has sailed away from the range of the Seven Swords Sect, Tianlian Sect and other forces, and returned to the demon base camp."

A ninth-level cultivator bowed respectfully and told the gentlemen the intelligence he had just obtained.

In this room, there were dozens of figures sitting, all of whom were the powerful figures of the major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory.

Among them are Cang Lei Holy Sect's leader Cang Rumo, supreme elder Cang Hanjing, Xue Ling Ruins' acting leader Zhu Yingqiu, second elder Mu Shiyan, third elder Gong Yiya, Chi Lian Academy's leader Kong Yuanzi, deputy leader Chi Xinzi, Tong Bei Sect's leader Yu Sheng Shangren, deputy leader Buyan Seng, thirteen hidden clans' envoys Xue Wubian and An Bingzhen.

In addition to the cultivators from the five top sects in the Northern Territory, there are also some powerful men from the top first-class sects.

Logically speaking, the Northern Territory Conference has ended, and the cultivators from the major sects and dynasties should have begun to gradually return to their respective forces. However, these cultivators did not leave the Cang Lei Holy Sect. The reason for this was an urgent intelligence message that came from the western part of the Northern Territory more than four hours ago.

More than four hours ago, a huge demon ship with a hideous shape and monstrous demonic energy suddenly flew out from the demon base camp of Yongsheng Mountain, which was located in the western part of the Northern Territory and was originally the address of the Tongbei Sect.

This is the magic boat that the Northern Territory Demon Lord, the Corpse Demon, took when he went to war. In the attack and defense of Yongsheng Mountain more than 20 years ago, the enemy took this magic boat and led thousands of demon armies to capture Yongsheng Mountain.

In the following twenty years, the Corpse Demon had led several expeditions, and this magic boat could be said to be a symbol of the Demon Lord.

The devil's boat appears and the devil's corpse arrives.

Upon learning that the Demonic Boat, which had been silent for several years, had reappeared, the Northern Territory cultivators who had originally planned to leave all decided to stay and find out the purpose of the Demonic Boat's appearance before making any plans!

What confused everyone was that, although the magic boat was as full of demonic energy and traveled with great fanfare as in the past, it had no intention of attacking any human force, as if... as if it was just going out for a wander?

These Northern Territory cultivators did not know that the travel of the magic boat was just a bait created by the Corpse Demon to attract their attention. The Corpse Demon took this opportunity to lead his men through a teleportation formation that had been set up long ago, crossing hundreds of thousands of miles from the western part of the Northern Territory to the Crescent Moon Dynasty located in the northeast of the Northern Territory.

The purpose of the Corpse Demon and his companions' trip was to stop the people who were undergoing the tribulation in Xuanyue City. Logically speaking, with their luxurious lineup of several tenth-level demons, they would not fail at all. Even if they encountered monks from the Northern Territory who were in a meeting, they could retreat calmly.

But unfortunately, they met Yin You and his companions.

Whether it is Yin You who has recovered all his memories and successfully survived the thunder tribulation of ascension, or Yin Ci and Ao Qingyue who have been immersed in the Ten Realms for a hundred years, or Kong Miaoyin who has recovered his memories of his previous life and has an unfathomable cultivation level, they are all the top Ten Realm powers.

Of course, these news were unknown to the Northern Region cultivators in the Cang Lei Holy Sect. They could only speculate the weirdness and inexplicable nature of the demon's actions based on the limited information.

"Well... since the demon boat has retreated, fellow Taoists can go back and consolidate their strength so that we can officially start the battle against the demons in ten days."

Cang Rumo coughed lightly and said, "What do you think, fellow Taoists?"

Although they still don't know the purpose of this trip of the magic boat, they don't have time to explore it. According to the results of the discussion at the Northern Territory Conference, they must integrate the strength of all forces in the Northern Territory in ten days to jointly defeat the demon army!

"Ah."

"can."

"I have no opinion."

"..."

Everyone spoke up and agreed with the proposal of the leader of the Cang Lei Holy Sect.

With Ao Qingyue, the leader of the Northern Territory Taoist Alliance and the master of Xueling Ruins, missing, Cang Rumo has already become the person in charge of the Northern Territory Taoist Alliance.

"Then it's settled."

Cang Rumo smiled slightly.

After exchanging a few polite words, everyone left.

Zhu Yingqiu and the other two returned to their residence, and then took the monks from Xuelingxu and left the Cang Lei Holy Sect and headed towards Xuelingxu.

The same was true for other forces. The Cang Lei Holy Sect, which had been extremely bustling some time ago, suddenly became deserted. Of course, this was only compared to the grand occasion of the previous few days.

"Come here, make sure to count the sect's combat power within five days. Oh, and report that cultivators above the seventh realm must go to battle unless they have important matters to attend to!"

Cang Rumo ordered.
