Back when Nangong Shenyi was the leader of the Yiliu Sect, he had three fellow practitioners and friends.
The four broke various taboos and conducted numerous cruel experiments on innocent people.
This attracted a group of chivalrous warriors led by Mu Shaoai, who wiped out Yiliu.
However, Nangong Shenyi preserved his soul using a top-secret Gu technique and wanted to revive himself with dragon energy. This led Mu Shaoai to scheme again, causing Beichen Yuanhuang to turn against Nangong Shenyi, seize his power and memories, and take his place.
In the memories that Bei Chen Yuan Huang obtained, Nan Gong Shen Yi's three fellow cultivators were named Mo Hong Cang, Tian Lai Yan, and Fu Rong Gu.
Back then, the four of them developed a pill that could break through the limits of physical strength and cultivation, but Nangong Shenyi discovered that there might be a problem with it, so he did not take it. However, he kept it a secret and used three fellow practitioners to test the pill.
This led to Mo Hongzang's tragic death, and his Tianlai Eye and Furong Bone were both disfigured, leaving him neither human nor ghost. He then broke with Yiliu and went into seclusion at Shuilongying.
When Yi Liu reappeared, Tian Lai Yan and Fu Rong Gu had no intention of seeking trouble with him.
However, the Awakened Evil offered Bei Chen Yuan Huang a "brilliant plan": to imitate the poison of the Southwest Mang Zhe, poison Yu Ren Fei Jing and Yan Gui Ren, and frame Tian Lai Yan and Fu Rong Gu, thereby luring out the two and then trying to subdue them.
The Awakener was unaware that the two had broken ties with Nangong Shenyi, and Beichen Yuanhuang, who had not obtained all of Nangong Shenyi's memories, was also unaware of this.
Thus, hatred grew stronger with hatred. Tianlaiyan not only resolutely rejected Beichen Yuanhuang, but also found an opportunity to annoy him. He saved Yan Guiren, who was causing trouble in Yiliu, and cured him of all his poison, just so that Yan Guiren would cause trouble again.
This time, when Bei Chen Yuan Huang went to Shui Long Ying, he happened to meet Yan Gui Ren.
Dali Gui was naturally ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, but Bei Chen Yuan Huang said that Bo Hanbo was not killed by Huan Yu Qi Cang, and his strategist had no reason to kill him. The fatal wound was also a clumsy imitation.
Yan Guiren asked Yuan Huang to provide evidence. Yuan Huang said that the strategist could demonstrate his martial arts skills so that he could make a comparison. Moreover, Duan Yan Xifeng was also rescued that day, so Yan Guiren could go find the person first.
Using her keen senses, Yuan Huang accurately grasped Yan Guiren's psychology and the rhythm of the conversation, and with just a few words, she got him to leave.
His conversation with Tianlaiyan, however, went very poorly.
Yuan Huang then realized that Tian Laiyan and the other two had a deep-seated hatred for Nangong Shenyi, and couldn't help but curse the evil one for stirring up trouble.
Tianlaiyan's attitude was very clear: he and Furonggu were sworn enemies with Yiliu, and even if Yuanhuang knelt down and begged him, he would not go to Yiliu.
Let alone serving Yuan Huang.
Seeing the overwhelming hatred in their eyes, Yuan Huang knew that ordinary methods would not be able to persuade them.
But he was just about to leave to find another way.
Suddenly, a purple moon appeared in the sky, and the earth was covered in an ominous purple hue.
Here we go again… Yuan Huang frowned. He had already spoken to Su Huanzhen, though it hadn’t gone smoothly. Su Huanzhen had resolutely refused to cooperate with him, saying that they were on different paths and couldn’t work together… Then why are you flirting with the Demon Realm’s war commander?
Yuan Huang really wanted to spit in Su Huanzhen's face, but Su Huanzhen revealed the appearance and names of the five divine artifacts, as well as the name of the "Thousand Autumns Crouching Dragon" technique, which temporarily dispelled his idea.
Upon seeing Wolongxing reappear, Yuanhuang instantly became more vigilant, only to find that Wolongxing's target was not him, but Tianlaiyan.
Yuan Huang's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this a case of finding something without even looking for it? The Eye of Heaven had indeed obtained a divine artifact!
The fact that Tianlai withstood his attack unscathed must have been due to the power of the divine artifact!
An unsolvable protection!
Gloves, boots, cloak—Yuan Huang immediately thought of the cloak. The Unbreakable Protection, as the name suggests, is a protection that cannot be broken.
Yuan Huang had a sudden thought and decisively retreated quickly. From afar, she watched as Tian Lai Yan and Fu Rong Gu fought two against one, but were still brutally beaten by Wo Long Xing.
Seeing that Tianlai Eye's foundation was far inferior to Wolong Xing's, and that he could only rely on the divine artifact to resist the attack without any power to fight back, Yuanhuang couldn't help but feel disdain. He thought to himself that it was a real waste of a precious artifact. If this artifact were in the hands of the Pope... Hmph, Tianlai Eye, you are not qualified to possess a divine artifact. Let the Pope do it for you.
the other side.
"It seems that Wolongxing is single-minded, or as some might say, stubborn, only able to focus on one artifact at a time, completely ignoring His Holiness the Pope."
Teng Xie had already met Su Huanzhen on a mountain more than ten miles away from Shuilongying.
With Teng Xie's current research on divine artifacts, he could tell at a glance, well, he could sense immediately that Tian Laiyan possessed a divine artifact.
However, Tianlai Eye is most skilled in poison and Gu techniques, and its physical foundation is only mediocre. The higher the physical foundation, the greater the effect of the artifact can be activated, which means the faster the energy can be exchanged with the artifact and the artifact can be integrated into the flesh and blood.
The Heavenly Eye is not very useful for reference. However, Bei Chen Yuan Huang is clearly obsessed with the divine artifact and cannot extricate himself. However, the Sharpness Tassel has not yet been integrated into his flesh and blood. Perhaps his spiritual power is not strong enough.
"Have you heard that rumors have suddenly spread throughout the martial world that Wolong Xing is a creation of the Demon Realm, and a conspiracy by the Demon Realm to seize divine artifacts?"
Su Huanzhen asked this question while keeping an eye on the battle.
"Huh? Do you really need to fight over a divine artifact? Shouldn't it just be delivered to your doorstep automatically?"
Su Huanzhen was speechless, thinking to himself that if these words were to be spread, he would probably become a public enemy of the martial arts world immediately... although not many people would dare to provoke him.
"I am aware of the situation, but the eminent monks of Wansheng Rock and Senior Chiyunran have both come to inquire about my situation."
"Oh dear, they didn't accuse you, Su Xianren, of betraying the righteous path and colluding with the demon realm, did they? Lately, rumors of a demonic threat seem to be circulating in the martial arts world again."
Su Huanzhen said, "Since I'm so close to you, how could Xuanzong and Wanshengyan not have any objections to me?"
Moreover, he also knew about the threat theory. Tan Wuyu had already told him that Hao Kunlun and Huangfu Xiaochan had been killed by conspirators, and Hao Kunlun instructed Tan Wuyu that the Demon Realm would once again wreak havoc on the martial arts world, and that Tan Wuyu should find a way to destroy the Haotian Cauldron.
Su Huanzhen couldn't help but look at Teng Xie. After getting to know him, he was certain that Teng Xie was not a warmonger like Yanmo Hanba... and didn't even seem like an ambitious schemer. In the other's words, Teng Xie didn't seem very qualified to be a demon.
But is that really the case?
Did the other party hold back against Senior Lin Wushuang? The other party first established their authority with swift and decisive measures, and then used the divine artifact to connect all parties, quickly stabilizing the situation and making no one in the Demon Realm dare to underestimate them, thus allowing them to develop in peace.
What will happen when the Demon Realm grows to a certain size?
Su Huanzhen couldn't help but imagine that one day the demon realm would once again reveal its fangs.
But now, he cannot ruin the good relationship he has established with Tengxie based solely on Hao Kunlun's one-sided account.
"I have indeed heard some news, and I spoke frankly to the Commander-in-Chief. I have heard that the Haotian Cauldron is something the Demon Realm desperately needs?"
"Su Huanzhen, I also have a question. What is the Haotian Cauldron?"
"Ah, this."
"All I know is that the Haotian Cauldron belongs to the members of the Cauldron Peak, and it's what those six used for their hot pot gathering? Does it have some special function?"
Su Huanzhen couldn't help but wonder, what if it did? What function would the Demon Realm desperately need?
