Chapter 1983: Ancient Dangerous Land

"Master..."

Ao Ye's whole body was black and evil, his eyes were blood red, he was almost demonized. Even the Heaven Sealing Halberd in his hand was constantly leaking out black evil energy. This was his demonic energy. Back then in the Merciless Sea, When Empress Tianyao rescued him, she thought that one day, even though three thousand years had passed, this evil spirit could never be removed.

"Empress Tianyao..."

When Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons saw Empress Tianyao coming out of Purple Mountain at this time, she was trembling with fear. She knew that this time, Tianyao would not let her go no matter what. After all, she had killed so many disciples of Tianqin Palace. .

But at this moment, Empress Tianyao had no time to care about her. Her eyes only fell on Ao Ye, who was filled with evil spirits. She walked towards her step by step, "Ao Ye, to this day, you still don't know how to repent..."

"Repent? Hahahaha..."

Ao Ye raised his head and laughed, his voice low, "What's wrong with me...isn't it all for cultivation? Natural selection, the weak and the strong, isn't it the law of the Nine Heavens!"

"Shut up, evildoer!"

Empress Tianyao's face was as frosty as she walked towards her step by step, "You killed your two junior sisters and your two junior brothers. Even now, you still don't know your fault..."

"Wrong? You immortals take demon elixirs from demons and refine them into elixirs alive to provide you with immortality and increase your cultivation. You...what about you?"

Ao Yeji pointed at the immortals on Purple Mountain and sneered, "You kill demons, take the demon pills, put them in the furnace and refine them into elixirs... That's right. I just kill a few people and refine them into elixirs, so what? Why...am I not doing the same thing as you?"

"evil creature……"

Empress Tianyao condensed her palms, and a purple energy condensed. The aura on her body suddenly strengthened a lot. Ao Ye sneered and said, "Master, are you finally going to kill me? I am a demon and you are an immortal... Okay, Today you and I have severed all ties between master and disciple, so let’s live and die here..."

As he finished speaking, he ignited the demonic blood all over his body, and a layer of black demonic fire burned all over his body. This was him burning his own demonic essence.

"Ao Ye!" Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons was also shocked. He was burning his own demonic energy to fight for his life, but he was burning his own demonic energy and was no match for Tianyao. What would he do if he died?

"ah--"

Ao Ye burned the demon blood all over his body and launched the strongest attack on Empress Tianyao. In an instant, dark clouds gathered, thunder rolled, and the immortals on the Purple Mountain retreated in fear. He was going to kill his master!

"Ao Ye..."

Empress Tianyao finally let out a sigh, but this sigh was full of helplessness and pain. Finally, she condensed her two fingers, and a ray of purple light gathered on her body. At this moment, all the immortals felt the aura of a powerful person, Even if Ao Ye burns demon essence again, how can he be his master's opponent? I will definitely die today...

"Well……"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Empress Tianyao's face suddenly turned pale. It was the Blood-Hand Tathagata's immeasurable bloody hands that caused backlash and restraint on her. If she forced herself to use her cultivation, she would inevitably suffer an injury.

In the distance, when Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons saw her injury, she immediately turned from worry to joy, as if she had grabbed the last life-saving rope, "Ao Ye! Take advantage of now...kill her!"

"ah--"

Ao Ye's eyes were blood red. He didn't care about the condition of Empress Tianyao's injuries, and directly struck down with a halberd. Even if this halberd could not kill Empress Tianyao, it would still severely injure her.

"elder sister……"

Xiao Chen could no longer care about so much. Ling Xian stepped forward and flew over in an instant. The Emperor Gu Sword also appeared in his hand. At this moment, the sky was filled with black clouds, and Emperor Gu's evil aura suddenly enveloped the surrounding area. inside.

"laugh--"

Xiao Chen raised his sword and slashed towards Ao Ye. Immediately, blood spattered. Ao Ye's dragon head was cut off directly by Di Gu's sword. The huge dragon body fell to the bottom of Purple Mountain with blood splattering.

"Rumble--"

Thunder clouds were still rolling above the nine heavens. Emperor Gu's evil aura made all the immortals turn pale with fright. That sword was... Di Gu's evil aura was hard to compare with.

Outside the Nine Heavens, Di Gu is no longer restricted. The ferocity of the ancient most ferocious sword can be imagined. If he is beheaded by Di Gu's sword, even a strong man in the Tao realm cannot hope to be resurrected.

Ao Ye is dead.

Just now, he was only focused on Empress Tianyao, and did not guard against Xiao Chen who was attacking from the side, so he was beheaded by Emperor Gu Jian.

"Ao Ye..."

Seeing Ao Ye's head and body separated and falling into the sea of ​​clouds below, Empress Tianyao's body trembled, her eyes filled with desolation. In her mind, one scene after another, she was still Ao Ye when she was a child.

"Sister...sister, where is this?"

"It's Tianqin Palace."

"Do you want to refine me into an elixir..."

"No...from today on, I am your master."

"Master... where are my parents? Are they... dead..."

"Ao Ye..."

Empress Tianyao looked at Ao Ye's body falling into the sea of ​​clouds, and closed her eyes deeply. She felt pain in her heart, as if she had been stabbed by a sword, one after another.

Xiao Chen put Di Gu away and immediately flew to her side. "Sister, how are you?"

"fine……"

Empress Tianyao opened her eyes, with tears clearly shining in her eyes, but she did not blame Xiao Chen, nor did she blame Xiao Chen for decapitating Ao Ye with his sword just now.

"Ao Ye..."

Seeing Ao Ye being beheaded in the distance, Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons was frightened to pieces. She wanted to run away, but a red light shrouded her, and it was Xiao Meng'er who used the "Wind and Fire Ruyi Shroud".

"ah!"

The Poison Fairy was caught off guard and was covered by the Wind and Fire Ruyi Cover. She felt her skin burning and cracking. She screamed in pain, "Empress Tianyao, I know I was wrong... Please let me go! Back then, your master also spared my life..."

"Spare your life... What do you think?"

Empress Tianyao's face was full of frost. The Poison Fairy bewitched Ao Ye and used many of her Tianqin Palace disciples to make poison. How could she spare this witch's life? With a stroke of her finger, a purple light flew over and immediately beat the Poison Fairy back to her original form and put her into the Wind and Fire Ruyi Cover.

The entire Ziji Fairyland finally returned to its former tranquility. On the Purple Gold Mountain, the immortals were silent. Ao Ye was dead, but the pain in Empress Tianyao's heart was not something that everyone could understand.

"Xiao Yao'er, how are you?"

At this time, Zi Ji Xian Weng came to the side of Tian Yao Empress. Tian Yao Empress turned to him and said, "Thank you for the miraculous medicine. Yao'er is temporarily fine."

"Do you need to recuperate for a while?"

"No, I have been bothering you for a long time. I have to go back to Tian Qin Palace today..."

Next, Tian Yao Empress was going back to Zi Xian Xuan Pu, and naturally took Xiao Chen and the other two with her. The crisis of Tian Qin Palace was resolved this time, but there were still many things to do next.

"Yi Chen, is this your junior sister?"

"Hmm..."

"Junior Qian Yu Nishang."

"Hmm... Qian Yu Nishang."

...

After a while, the four returned to Tian Qin Palace. Part of the place was destroyed, but the spiritual energy was not attenuated. As for those monsters, it was said that they had fled as soon as Ao Ye and Wan Du Fairy died. The soul poison on the people in Tian Qin Palace was automatically resolved as Wan Du Fairy and Ao Ye died.

Today, Empress Tianyao took charge of Tianqin Palace again. There was a lot of work to be done. Several disciples were gone. Xiaoqing and Yan'er were not sure where they were now. If they were still alive, they would definitely come back after hearing the news.

In the next month, Empress Tianyao not only treated her own injuries, but also healed Qianyu Nishang's injuries. When she heard that Qianyu Nishang was able to fight her way out of the Destruction Domain after being hit by the "Seven Steps Heart-Destroying Palm" of Sin Shenlun, Empress Tianyao was a little surprised at first, but when she thought of her Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, it was nothing strange. Her Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head was just the beginning. If she could cultivate to the Mahayana, it would be amazing.

On this day, Xiao Chen was cultivating in the Immortal Pavilion. Among him, Xiao Meng'er and Qianyu Nishang, the Empress was of course the best to him and gave him the place with the most concentrated fairy spirit.

During this period of time, his cultivation had naturally broken through. It was much easier to break through cultivation in the Nine Heavens than in the human world. Moreover, the immortal spirit here was so abundant. The internal energy in the fourth level of Taiqing was indeed much more abundant than before, but for the environment he was in now, unless it was the eighth or ninth level, it would not make much sense.

If you really want to become stronger, you have to step into the realm of the outside world, but others have spent thousands of years without being able to get a glimpse of the realm of the outside world. No matter how strong his talent is, the ice is not formed in a day.

"You call me 'sister' all the time, and it's not in vain. Empress Tianyao actually gave you such a good place."

When Xiao Chen was practicing that day, Qianyu Nishang suddenly came from outside. Xiao Chen still closed his eyes and said, "If junior sister wants it, I can give you this place."

"A gentleman does not take away someone's love, so forget it."

Qianyu Nishang had walked in front of him. Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes and saw her leisurely look. He asked, "Don't you need to practice? Or will it be fine after the injury is healed?"

"You practiced all day in Xuanqing Mountain. Now you have to practice all day in the Ninth Heaven. Aren't you bored? Otherwise, let's go practice sword."

At this moment, the two seemed to have returned to the days when they were in Zixiao Peak. Practicing was boring, so they went outside to practice sword together.

"The last move of the Autumn Water Sword is already here, what else is there to practice?"

"Well... Senior Brother said, Autumn Water is Merciless."

Thinking back to the past, the last move that Xiao Chen realized was "Autumn Water is Merciless". This sword is extremely powerful. If it is launched by two people together, it is even more powerful, and even immortals and gods cannot resist it.

"Senior Brother, let's go, I'll take you outside, stop practicing, follow me."

"Where to go?"

Before Xiao Chen could react, he was forcibly pulled out by Qianyu Nishang. He thought that she had become more and more lively recently, and more and more like the former Junior Sister Nishang, but he always felt that it was not that simple.

He came to the Nine Heavens Beyond for the purpose of the Heaven-Defying Formation, but he knew that with his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to set foot in such a dangerous place. He could only practice here for a long time. As for Xiao Meng'er, he felt that Xiao Meng'er must have many things that she didn't tell him. It was impossible for her to come to the Nine Heavens Beyond just to help him find the Heaven-Defying Formation.

Xiao Meng'er and he both had obvious purposes, so...what about Qianyu Nishang?

At this moment, Xiao Chen was walking behind, Qian Yu Nishang was holding his hand in front, humming a little tune all the way. The more this happened, the more Xiao Chen felt that she was hiding something from him, and everything in front of him was just her cover-up.

"Qian Yu Nishang, is there something you haven't told me?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen stopped, and Qian Yu Nishang also stopped, turned her head slightly, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared. "Why did you suddenly call my name again?"

That night, the two of them finally untied the knot of forty years, and Xiao Chen didn't want to go back to that cold time, so he said, "Nothing... Junior Sister, let's go, where did you want to take me just now?"

"Hmph!"

Qianyu Nishang hummed softly, as if she "forgave" him, and held his hand again, smiling and saying, "You will know after you come with me, let's go."

Xiao Chen thought to himself, is there anything in Tianqin Palace that he doesn't know about?

…

Falling flowers are falling in the courtyard, and Xiao Meng'er is concentrating on practicing under the tree. It has been several days, and she has not left even a step. Over the past month, among the three of them, she is perhaps the most "hardworking" one, Qian Yu Nichang not to mention. He was free and undisciplined all day long. Not only did he not practice well, he also kept disturbing Xiao Chen.

At this time, she finally opened her eyes. Her shoulders, hair, and legs were all covered with petals. As she breathed, these petals flew away from her body.

"Well... finally a breakthrough."

Xiao Meng'er's Xuan Gong has broken through another level. Compared with the breakthrough in cultivation, she now hopes to have a breakthrough in the Xiao family's ancient Xuan Kung, because no matter how she breaks through in cultivation, she will not be able to step into the realm outside the square, but Xiao The Taikoo Xuan Gong is different. Every time she breaks through a level, the power increases exponentially, and it can even drive her cultivation level to break through. Otherwise, how can she be called the "Heaven-defying Xuan Gong"?

This time, she did everything possible to come to the Nine Heavens. She did have her purpose, and this purpose was different from Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen just wanted to save one person, but what she wanted to save was the entire Xiao family.

The crisis of the Xiao family has never been a matter of Xiao Hen. For thousands of years, no one has ever found a solution. It is the ancestral spirit vein of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's ancestral spirit vein is about to dry up. Once it dries up, thousands of Xiao family members will face more than just "losing their homeland."

This time when she came to Jiuzhong Tianwai, she wanted to find something. She had the blood of the ancient Xiao family, but it was just blood. Although the blood was powerful, it could not make her step into the realm of Fangwai at once. She wanted to find something. It is the "bloodline" left by a great ancestor of the Xiao family.

Not everyone in the Xiao family knew about this matter. Only the clan leaders of the past generations knew about it. Obviously Xiao Xuanfeng had told her about this matter a long time ago. In the ancient times, the great ancestor of the Xiao family was one of the strongest people in the world. The real ancient strong men, not the so-called "strong men" nowadays.

The great ancestor of the Xiao family must have left a drop of "blood" in the world, but where it is, it cannot be in the human world, then there is only the ninth level of heaven that is not restricted by heaven and earth.

The only person who can fuse that drop of "blood essence" is someone with the ancient bloodline of the Xiao family, and she is such a person. She will definitely be able to fuse the bloodline of that great ancestor, but only if she can find it.

There is no doubt that when she fuses that drop of blood, she can directly step into the realm of the outside world. These gods and immortal kings are nothing more than ants in her eyes...

Of course, she is not a murderer. She stepped into Fangwai Realm not to kill people for revenge, but to condense the Fangxuan Realm and move the entire Xiao family into it. In this way, even if the ancestral spirit veins Even if she disappears, she can still maintain it for a long time with her own external strength, so that the life force of the Xiao family will not diminish.

"Meng'er, are you still practicing?"

Just when Xiao Meng'er was concentrating on thinking, the voice of Empress Tianyao suddenly sounded outside the yard. Xiao Meng'er immediately came back to her senses and said to the outside, "Well...Sister Tianyao, are you feeling better from your injury?"

"It's okay for now."

Empress Tianyao walked in with a plate of fruit in her hand. During this time, Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng'er both called her sister, but Qian Yu Nishang still called her empress.

Empress Tianyao saw Xiao Meng'er's hard work in burning the ointment and following the sundial, and smiled softly, "Okay, stop practicing, come here and have something to eat." After saying that, she put the fruit on the stone table.

"Okay...thank you sister."

Xiao Meng'er stood up and walked over. Empress Tianyao looked at her as if she was looking at Hong'er before. When she thought of Hong'er, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"During this period, I heard that you have been practicing here and have not gone out."

Of course Empress Tianyao could tell that among the three of them, Xiao Meng'er was the one who worked the hardest. She came to Tianqin Palace and practiced every day, even harder than Yichen.

"Mmm...so sweet."

Xiao Meng'er nodded while eating the fruit. Empress Tianyao could obviously see that Xiao Meng'er was full of thoughts just now. There must be something going on when she came to the Nine Heavens. Among the three of them, the one she couldn't understand the most was. That junior sister Yichen.

"Meng'er, tell sister, why did you come to Jiuzhongtianwai?"

"Um?"

When Xiao Meng'er saw her suddenly asking this question, she was a little confused. With the fruit still wrapped in her mouth, she said vaguely, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. I'm just asking casually. Isn't it convenient for me to tell you?"

"Hmm...not really."

Xiao Meng'er slowly swallowed the fruit and gradually frowned. In fact, there was no harm in telling Empress Tianyao that she was not familiar with the Nine Heavens. Where could she find the Xiao family's ancestor in such a big place? The bloodline left behind? Ask Sister Tianyao, maybe you can find out something else.

Empress Tianyao saw her appearance at this time and said, "I can feel that the blood in you is from the ancient Xiao clan, um... that ancient clan in the legend that fought against the sky."

Xiao Meng'er was startled, "Does sister also know about the ancient Xiao clan?"

"certainly."

Empress Tianyao smiled softly, how could she not know? Xiao Meng'er slowly opened her eyebrows, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, I came to Jiuzhongtianwai just to find...a drop left by a Xiao family ancestor. Blood."

"The blood of Taizu?"

This time, Empress Tianyao was a little surprised, but she could imagine that this was not just an ordinary drop of blood, but a drop of blood essence condensed by the Taizu with his own cultivation. If this was true, then The great ancestor of the Xiao family must be one of the strongest people of his era, or perhaps none.

Xiao Meng'er said, "The reason why we need to find this drop of blood is because the Xiao family's ancestral spirit veins are about to disappear. The reason why the Xiao family has been able to thrive in these years is all because of the ancestral spirit veins, but now... So, I must find that drop of blood." At this point, she raised her head and looked at Empress Tianyao.

The empress said, "If your spiritual veins are exhausted, can't you change places?"

Xiao Meng'er knew she would ask this question and shook her head, "Sister, I don't understand. It's not as simple as moving as I thought... Once the ancestral spirit vein disappears, everyone in the Xiao family will slowly die..."

"What?"

Hearing this, Empress Tianyao was even more surprised. Is there such a strange thing? Xiao Meng'er looked at her and said, "Probably...it's like a curse. Sister can understand it this way."

"So, we can only find the drop of blood condensed by the Xiao family's Taizu?"

"Um."

Xiao Meng'er nodded. Finding the bloodline left by the great ancestor of the Xiao family was not to rejuvenate the ancestral spirit veins, but to allow her to step into the realm beyond, inject new vitality into the Xiao family, and let Xiao The family can maintain its longevity for at least thousands of years. As for thousands of years later, if she is still there, she will continue to support it. When the power of her bloodline is exhausted, a new bloodline will definitely appear in the Xiao family. That's it. Generation after generation...continues.

"I see."

Empress Tianyao nodded. This time she finally understood why she practiced so hard. What she did wholeheartedly was not for her own immortality, but for the continuation of the entire Xiao family. At such a young age, she had such a high realm in her heart. It is very rare, it has surpassed those so-called immortal kings and gods.

"Sister...do you know some places?"

Xiao Meng'er asked her, obviously asking her where the ancestor of the Xiao family was most likely to put his bloodline.

Empress Tianyao said, "If what you just said is true, there really is such an ancestor of the Xiao family who condensed a drop of heaven-defying essence and blood with his own cultivation and preserved it, then Most likely, I do know one."

"Where?"

The expression on Xiao Meng'er's face gradually became serious. Empress Tianyao looked at her and said slowly, "Don't worry, sister, you have to know that where we are now, you and Yichen have been there before. Yes, all the places I saw are just the tip of the iceberg for the entire Nine Layers of Heaven."

"Um?"

Xiao Meng'er listened to her continue.

Empress Tianyao continued, "Beyond the Nine Heavens, there are many dangerous places. Among them are the thirteen ancient evil places. Each place is a place where gods are buried. There is an ancient evil tomb inside. There are thirteen ancient evil places in total. Evil tomb. In each evil tomb, there is a tomb owner, all of them are ancient and powerful men who have passed away... I can't imagine how powerful they are. Even after they die, no one dares to approach. "

"Is there such a place?"

Xiao Meng'er's expression was condensed, a little unbelievable. Empress Tianyao nodded and continued, "Thirteen ancient evil places, thirteen ancient evil tombs... Only people like Master dare to set foot in such dangerous places. Even now, I dare not easily set foot in these thirteen evil places, let alone enter those thirteen ancient evil tombs..."

"in this case……"

Xiao Meng'er slowly lowered her head. She had already understood the words of Empress Tianyao. The owners of those thirteen ancient evil places and thirteen ancient evil tombs were all powerful men from ancient times who defied the heavens. They Maybe they are not from the same era, but they must be the strongest people in their respective eras.

If so, the great ancestor of the Xiao family back then... he might also be one of the thirteen powerful men who defied the heavens.

"What are the thirteen evil places, the thirteen evil tombs...what are you talking about?"

At this moment, Xiao Chen's voice suddenly sounded outside. It was Xiao Chen and Qian Yu Nishang who came to Xiao Menger.
