Tick, tick...

In the dark underground cave, the sound of dripping water came from somewhere, hitting the cave wall, and the echo was faint.

Huo Xiumao opened his eyes, made sure that his injuries had healed, and stood up.

Going straight ten steps forward, the flesh and blood meridians once again felt the pain like Ling Chi.

Five steps away, a large knife with a shiny snow was inserted into the ground.

There are more than ten knives like this in the cave.They have different shapes, and their blades go deep into the ground, like soldiers guarding the cave silently.

Huo Xiumao endured the pain of the saber energy hitting his body, and walked towards the sword with difficulty as if his steps were heavy.

Finally approaching, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife.

The clothes were intact, but countless wounds appeared on the body in an instant, and the saber energy invaded the spiritual power, turning into invisible sharp blades and raging in the body.

Huo Xiumao's face was distorted in pain.He gritted his teeth and endured, concentrated all his will on the big knife in front of him, and exerted strength in his hand.

Compared with other knives, this big knife has more parts exposed to the ground, and only the small tip of the knife is still in the rock.

With a sound, the tip of the knife finally broke off the ground, and the big knife was completely pulled out.

Huo Xiumao staggered a few steps and tried to stabilize his figure, the knife in his hand suddenly turned into a stream of light, sinking into his body from the palm of his hand.

There was a faint joy on his face, and then he gathered his mind and meditated on the spot until he completely absorbed the harvest this time.

After relaxing and taking a rest, his thoughts drifted outside the cave unknowingly.

"I don't know how the battle is going on outside... Master is still fine..."

He muttered to himself, worry flashing across his eyes.

Sighing slightly, Huo Xiumao turned his head to look deep into the cave.

There was a rocky knoll with a knife sticking out of the top of it.

The cold light emitted by this knife illuminates the entire cave, preventing the cave from falling into complete darkness.

He was now at most twenty steps away from the knife. If his guess was correct, he would have to pull out all the other knives in the cave before he could touch the knife.

Intuition told him that only by pulling out the knife would he have a chance to leave this place.

……

command camp.

Yu Xian handed Yuan Yao the compiled report on the battle situation, and said, "The new plans and layouts in each region are almost done, you can take a look too."

Yuan Yao took the report, while Yu Xian looked at the other two reports.

After reading the content of the report, Yuan Yao turned his eyes and noticed the logo on the jade slip in front of Yu Xian.

"A message from Niya Palace and the Wufeng Sword Sect?"

Yu Xian nodded: "Qian Xiaocai and Mo Ren passed it on, you haven't seen them for a long time, right?"

Yuan Yao: "Now the three of you are directly connected, without going through the people above?"

Yu Xian: "Yes, this way, when the action starts, they won't have to be distracted from us."

Yuan Yao pondered silently for a while, the melancholy between his brows became more and more intense, and the anxiety and uneasiness almost solidified in his body.

Yu Xian put down the jade slip and said helplessly: "I said you should worry less, we can't participate in that matter, there is no use in thinking about it, just do your own thing well, ah, don't think about it, did you hear me?" .”

Yuan Yao closed his eyes and responded with a low voice.

Yu Xian handed him another jade slip, "This is what happened in the mountain gate recently, some of it is quite interesting, that fat bird Xue Fei is clamoring to come to the front line again, you can take a look to change your mood."

Yuan Yao browsed the content according to his words.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

"True Monarch Hongbo accepts Luo Qi as his apprentice... Luo Qi..."

Yu Xian: "Hey, do you know Junior Sister Luo?"

Yuan Yao: "I've seen her before, at the Library Pavilion in Neimen."

He frowned slightly, thinking about something, then shook his head.

"Forget it, I'll do some observations later. Yu Xian, it doesn't mention the thing that Hongbo Zhenjun is responsible for."

Yu Xian waved his hand: "How could that be written on it?"

Yuan Yao was silent and asked, "Is it going well?"

"It's okay, the subject classification has been preliminarily worked out."

Yuan Yao's face softened slightly.

"That's good……"

Yu Xian looked at his look full of everything, shook his head and was speechless.

……

In the cave, Luo Qi is refining the magic weapon.

42 jade-white one-foot-long thin sticks spirally coiled from top to bottom, spinning endlessly, like a spiral staircase that continues to extend.

This gift given by True Monarch Hongbo is a high-grade spiritual weapon, but it exudes an aura comparable to that of an earthly weapon.

As long as her cultivation level is higher and the materials are collected, she can easily upgrade it to an earth vessel.

As her technique changed, the 42 thin sticks were suddenly spread out horizontally, and then combined together, light gold characters appeared on the surface of each thin stick.

Like an unrolled document and scripture, it condenses infinite wisdom, sacred and boundless.

Its radiant light illuminates every corner of the room, and on the drafts spread randomly on the table, a few strokes of rabbit ink are flooded, as if they come alive.

……

Demon Realm, that strange city where humans and demons live together.

On the top of the city gate, Yinshan quietly stared at everything in the city.

Smoke-like clouds gather and disperse around her.

"They already have a way to track my location," the Beast God said in a low voice, "I underestimated them."

Yin Shan: "If they can find you, they will know that this matter cannot be hidden from you."

Beast God: "So, they will do it soon."

Yin Shan: "Just in these few days."

The cloud fell into silence.

Yinshan: "If you want to act first, then I advise you to give up this idea."

Beast God: "Reason."

Yin Shan: "If you take the initiative to act, they will definitely think of this situation, and they must be prepared."

Her pupils moved slightly, and she cast a cold glance to her side.

"Last time, they suffered because they didn't know about you. Once they were prepared, they would fall into a trap on their own initiative. If you haven't fully recovered, you might not be able to get the upper hand."

The Beast God was silent for a long time, and suddenly, he let out a sneer.

"If you can't take the initiative, then I can't wait for them in vain. I will decide the time and place of this battle."

The clouds and mist surged fiercely, and quickly calmed down in a blink of an eye.

"Yinshan, I want information about all the Supreme Realm cultivators of the current human race, as well as the Taoist artifacts of the three major factions."

Yinshan: "Okay."

She raised her hand suddenly and said, "Look at that place."

At the end of an alley in the city, outside the house, under the eaves, several young children were playing with several monster cubs.

Humans and demons born in this city, since they were born, what they hear and see is the coexistence of the two races.

They don't understand the estrangement between the two races and the disputes in the outside world, so they don't feel wrong to be so close.

The Beast God looked at it for a while, and suddenly saw a monk from outside the alley hurriedly approaching, ignoring the crying of the children, and forcibly took them away.

The cubs reluctantly followed, and were grabbed by the back of the neck by the huge monster that jumped out suddenly, and led them in the opposite direction.

The two sides went against each other and gradually drifted away.

"It seems that you still have a long way to go."

"As long as you know where your goal is, you will eventually reach it no matter how long it takes."
