In the great hall!
The aurora borealis was like a curtain, and the night was as cool as water.
The Devil Monarch sat on top of the nine jade steps, without joy or sorrow.
“Senior, what is it that you are looking for me for!”Qin Li arched his hand.
The Devil Monarch said indifferently, “Half a year from now, it happens to be my one hundred and fifty thousand year birthday banquet, and I would like you and Light Speech to organise it for me.”
Qin Li sighed in his heart, the Demon Monarch truly has a long life, 100,000 years still young, it seems that living a million years would not be a problem at all. At the same time, a wave of doubt bubbled up, “Elder, it’s somewhat inappropriate for me to organise the birthday banquet!”
When an old man organises a birthday banquet, it is basically the eldest son and daughter who organise it, which reflects filial piety and also represents a kind of trust, whereas Qin Li, in the end, is just an outsider, his status is not suitable.
The Demon Monarch, however, waved his hand and said, “Originally, I wanted to hand it over to my youngest son, but he has already rebelled against the family. There is still for you to handle, I trust you.”
The words were thick with trust, in a sense, the Demon Monarch implicitly took Qin Li as his successor.
“I’ll organise the birthday banquet properly.”
Qin Li nodded, he also had some thoughts in his mind, feeling that this was an opportunity to repay the Demon Monarch’s favour.
He was about to retire when he suddenly remembered something: “Senior, I actually have something to ask for.”
“Speak!”The Demon Monarch opened his mouth.
Qin Li touched his head in embarrassment and said, “Can you not use Celestial Sensation to peer inside my mansion.”
He was still afraid of celestial sensing, just ask, when he was doing it with Yun Shiyu, the Demon Monarch would be able to spy on it, who could stand it! Is it hard to not have to make a trip to the Princess’ Mansion every time you want to?
“Hahaha!”The Demon Monarch laughed, his laughter was refreshing and echoed in the Aurora Grand Hall, “You’re overthinking it, I’m a Northern Region Demon Monarch, if I have something to do and peep on others, wouldn’t it be an insult to my status.”
“I will only switch on my celestial senses when I have something to do, and since your mansion has been turned into a forbidden area, I won’t snoop. By the way, you probably don’t know that the Purple Sword in your body can shield Celestial Sensing, and as your cultivation rises, I won’t be able to sense anything within ten feet of you.”
Qin Li froze for a moment, not realising that the Dantian Purple Sword had this kind of divine difference, it was truly becoming more and more extraordinary.
The Demon Monarch added, “Study that sword well, I feel that it is the prototype of your divine ability.”
“The purple sword is a divine ability?”Qin Li snapped, puzzled, “What kind of statement is that?”
The Demon Monarch explained, “The essence of a divine power is a divine power rune, which can also be called a divine power seed. And on your Purple Sword, there happens to be a purple rune, which is not yet complete, but has already shown its power for the first time.”
Qin Li was ecstatic.
It turned out that the true treasure had been in the dantian all along.
According to the Demon Monarch, as long as the Purple-Gold divine Sword perfected that one rune, the divine power would become self-contained, and he himself would be able to successfully ascend to Celestial.
Qin Li gave a farewell and returned to the mansion.
“So quiet!”
Qin Li looked at the two girls, “Why aren’t you guys moving your chopsticks?”
“Isn’t this waiting for you to return? That said, what did my father talk to you about.”Ye Qingyue smiled as she gave Qin Li a dish.
Qin Li smiled, “In half a year’s time is the Demon Lord’s birthday banquet, I’ve been appointed to organise it, so why don’t you come over and help too!”
“My father trusts you. Don’t worry, I have experience in this matter, I’ll help you cope!”Ye Qingyue smiled very brightly.
The two of them were talking and laughing.
Yun Shiyu was left out to the side and was left out in the cold, so she was extra aggravated and pursed her lips, “I’m going to take a walk outside!”
“Not eating some more?”Qin Li sensed that Yun Shiyu was in a bad mood and wanted to retain a few words.
“No need, you guys eat!”
Yun Shiyu bites her lower lip and walks out of the mansion, wanting to take a walk.
Walking on the streets of Eternal Night City, Yun Shiyu felt an exotic flavour and a strong sense of strangeness. The dry, cold wind blew on her face, reminding her of Ye Qingyue’s words, as sharp as a knife, yet incomparably true.
“Could it be that the current me is just a drag?”Yun Shiyu recalled the time when she fought side by side with Qin Li, as well as the bride snatching battle, where Qin Li almost died for her, all because she was too useless.
At this time!
Noisy voices came from the distance.
A group of people were gathered together, talking.
Yun Shiyu couldn’t help but move over to take a look and saw many injured cultivators.
“What’s going on here, so many cultivators are injured?”
“It looks like they went to the Spring Wind Forbidden Land to look for treasure, and they even lost an Immortal King!”
“Drink! This smoothness is big enough. Rumour has it that in the Spring Wind Forbidden Land, there are treasures that instantly boost cultivation, but there’s no need to fight so hard.”
Yun Shiyu instantly became interested and pulled a person to enquire, “What is the Spring Breeze Forbidden Land, can you tell me about it? It’s best to tell me the directions.”
Regardless of the place, beautiful women are extremely popular, that cultivator naturally told the information about the forbidden land one by one, and also cautioned, “You can be go to make a fool out of yourself like them, the Spring Wind Forbidden Land has always had a history of no return.”
“Thanks for the reminder!”
Yun Shiyu said on her lips.
Then, turning her head, she left Eternal Night City and headed to the Spring Wind Forbidden Land.
She was too eager for strength, as long as she could give Qin Li a hand and break away from the title of vase, she was willing to go no matter what difficulties lay ahead.
Travelling along, she flew towards the depths of the snowy mountains.
Not long after!
She found an odd place.
There was actually a touch of green in the rolling snowy mountains.
When she looked closer, it was an emerald green valley with lush grass, flowers, and a pleasant climate. At the very centre, there was also a huge willow tree, thirty feet tall, with intertwined roots and luxuriant branches, hanging down ten thousand willow branches, like a head of green hair, spilling a bit of vitality.
“Is this the Spring Breeze Forbidden Land! The outside of the valley is icy and snowy, but the inside of the valley is as warm as spring, there are definitely great treasures!”
Yun Shiyu was pleasantly surprised and fell into the valley.
Click!
A crunching sound.
Yun Shiyu felt like she stepped on something.
Lifting her foot, it turned out to be a piece of white beast bone.
Looking more closely, under the cover of flowers and grass, it was densely covered with bones.
Suddenly!
The willow tree trembled violently.
The demonic aura rushed to the sky, and the killing force was astonishing.
Thousands of willow strips instantly hardened, like sharp swords, piercing down.
“Green dragon probing claws!”Yun Shiyu was prepared, pulling out the Rainheart Sword was a chopping move, sword energy burst out, transforming into a hundred feet of flying dragon, charging and killing, to destroy this demonic willow.
However, this willow tree is not extraordinary, a flash of green light, willow reflecting a metallic luster, suddenly pierced and down, the sword qi flying dragon ripped to pieces. Subsequently, the willow strips changed again, like ten thousand chains, sweeping down, to pinch Yun Shiyu to death.
“Not good!”
“Four Elephant Sword Wall!”
Yun Shiyu was startled and made another strong move.
The Rainheart Sword in her hand shone brightly, drawing out the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu, encircling a circle, now forming a tight barrier to defend against the four directions.
However, Yun Shiyu clearly miscalculated, the ground under her feet cracked, and some slender black roots pierced out, just like a strange attacking iron sword, specialising in attacking the lower three paths, wanting to pierce her into a hornet’s nest.
“What!”
Yun Shiyu hurriedly retracted her stance to dodge.
However, she was still a bit slow, and several bloody holes were poked out on her jade leg, fortunately, no bones were injured, otherwise this leg would be ruined.
“Flaming Golden Pupil!”Yun Shiyu was furious and offered a killer weapon. The moment her eyes condensed, it was a three-foot sword light, heavy by a thousand pounds, scorchingly hot, exactly the nemesis of this kind of wood demon, and in the blink of an eye, she cut hundreds of willows.
But an accident happened, the willow tree shook violently, ten thousand thin willows actually mixed in one piece, bursting out with piercing glazed light, transforming into a big foot, a right foot, resisting the off-fire sword light, but also stomped down, attacking Yun Shiyu directly.
“How is it possible!”
Yun Shiyu was shocked and still wanted to make a move.
However, her cultivation was too weak to resist Willow’s killing move.
Critical moment!
A protective amulet flew out.
She still had two protective amulets on her, and now she used up one.
With a swoosh, the protective amulet transformed into a green light, equivalent to a strike from a ninth-grade Immortal King, and flew and chopped out, as fast as a shock, as fierce as thunder. After tearing Willow’s right foot, the aftermath was not weak and directly cut off Willow.
Boom!
A violent sound.
The willow tree collapsed with a bang, and the demonic energy collapsed.
A stump remained on the ground, and it dared to be hollow, like a passageway that led underground, and it was also flooded with tints of glazed light.
“The bitterly cold northern region, where unusual plants are difficult to grow, how could there be an Immortal King level Willow Demon here?”Yun Shiyu was shocked and looked at the hollow stump and speculated:
“Could it be that there is some kind of heavy treasure underground that can make one’s cultivation level rise quickly?”
Yun Shiyu’s face was overjoyed, in order to be able to raise her cultivation and receive Qin Li’s praise, she didn’t even think about the consequences and immediately jumped into the tree hole.
