Tian Yuan Xian Ji

In Linzi County, in a dim room, Nangong Muxue stood alone in front of the window, staring out for a long time.

"Master, don't be too sad." Liu Ruhan behind him whispered to comfort him.

Tang Ning sat in the room without saying a word.

The battle in Ning'an County was extremely brutal. The demon army attacked the city and fought several battles with the defenders. Just at this time, the news of the demon army's defeat in Weiping County came, which made the attacking demon army retreat.

In this battle, Su Yuanhua was unfortunately killed and his body was found when the battlefield was cleaned up afterwards.

Nangong Muxue followed the army to garrison Ning'an County. In addition to Su Yuanhua, Bai Jintang was also garrisoning Ning'an County.

Among the people Tang Ning knew well, in addition to Su Yuanhua, Bai Jintang's disciple Yan Minyi also died in this battle.

The two of them were just a microcosm of this war. Hundreds of thousands of Allied monks were killed in this battle.

Three Mahayana cultivators were killed, and the death toll of combined body cultivators like Su Yuanhua reached over forty, and the number of Void Refining cultivators was countless.

Of course, these are just numbers to Tang Ning.

His journey was full of blood and corpses, and he had experienced countless wars. He was already accustomed to seeing people dying in wars.

However, the death of someone he knew still caused a stir and a feeling of emotion in his otherwise calm heart.

He had no good feelings towards Su Yuanhua at all, but he was somewhat touched to see someone like Nangong Muxue, who usually had a cold personality, reveal irrepressible sadness after hearing the letter.

Perhaps in front of Nangong Muxue, Su Yuanhua is a dutiful and filial disciple.

.........

After leaving Nangong Muxue's cave, Liu Ruhan has been in a very low mood.

"Although my senior brother is rude to others, he is always respectful to the master. He once said that the master is his only relative in this world."

"Senior brother is an orphan who was bullied since childhood. It was the master who brought him back to the sect."

"In the early years, there was once a time when there was a monk from the Qingxuan Hall who was at odds with the master. His nephews and nephews formed a group and deliberately insulted the master in front of me. I almost fought with them and was punished by the sect for that incident and was confined for more than a hundred years."

"The master has a cold personality and has never held birthday or wedding banquets. But every hundred years, when the master's birthday comes, the brothers will come to celebrate no matter where they are."

"Senior brother is the one who protects the master's dignity the most. Since I joined the mountain sect, he has helped me solve several problems. The sentence he said most often is: We must protect the master's dignity when we are outside, and we must not lose face for the master..."

The couple returned to the house and sat together. Liu Ruhan rested her head on his shoulder and told him the past bit by bit in a low voice, from Su Yuanhua to Yan Minyi.

"When I entered the mountain gate, I had the best relationship with Senior Sister Yan. For a period of time, we talked about everything."

"She has a straightforward personality and can't hide anything from me. She tells me everything."

"She likes spirit animals. She always says that spirit animals are much better than humans. Spirit animals won't lie, and they won't betray. They are more loyal and sincere than humans. As long as you are good to them, they will repay you a hundredfold."

"Sister Yan's parents died when she was very young, so Uncle Bai, his father, and his friend took her with them and accepted her as their apprentice."

"When Senior Sister Yan was a child, she only had a young spirit beast given by her father to keep her company."

"She has always treated Master Bai as her father, and she also said that there are no good men, except Master Bai. If she must get married in the future, she will definitely find someone like Master Bai. If not, she will never get married."

.........

Tangning held her hand and patted it, and at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and sympathy.

"Maybe I can put an end to this."

"End?" Liu Ruhan raised her eyes and asked.

"In Weiping County, I learned from a high-level demon cultivator that the secret of their massive attack on the Tianyuan Realm was nothing more than to find the spatial channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm to the Immortal Realm..."

Tang Ning recounted the whole story. Liu Ruhan had been staying at the Linzi County headquarters before this. He had just returned from Weiping County when he heard the news of Su Yuanhua's death from her. Afterwards, the two of them went to Nangong Muxue's cave together, so he was unable to inform her of the matter in time.

Originally, he was hesitating whether or not to negotiate with the demons about ascending to the fairyland. Maybe he could get them to retreat back to the demon world.

But he also felt that doing so would not bring him any benefit, and might even bring greater danger. So far, only the top leaders of the Undead Realm, those who returned from the abandoned land of the Tianyuan Realm, the Chamber of Commerce and the Shangqing Sect knew about the space channel.

Needless to say, the world of the dead is the base camp of his power.

Those who returned from the abandoned land of Tianyuan Realm were also dispatched by him because of this matter.

  The Merchant Alliance provided him with demon pills and magic crystals to help him practice. What kind of help could the demons give him? Let them kill each other and then hand over the magic crystals?

He didn't want too many people to know about this, especially the powerful demons. He was not very confident that he could make the demons do what he wanted. Perhaps if the demons knew about this, instead of withdrawing, they would occupy Tianyuan even more frantically and completely control the space channel.

In this way, he will inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of the demons and must be captured or eliminated.

The deaths of Su Yuanhua and Yan Minyi made him feel a little emotional, but Liu Ruhan's words finally made him determined.

If the demons cannot find the space channel of Tianyuan Realm, the war will not stop, more and more people will die, and even Liu Ruhan herself will be in danger.

Even though he didn't care about others, he always didn't want those who were closely related to him, such as Gao Yuan, Gao Pan, Zhuang Qing, etc., to die in this meaningless war that could have been avoided.

"My husband wants to exchange the information of his ascension to the fairyland for the withdrawal of the demons? Will this work?" After hearing his plan, Liu Ruhan frowned and was very worried.

"Try it!"

.........

In the dimly lit room of Tianxing County, Jinan Prefecture, the Demon Army Commander and Elder of the Elders Council, Pa Zexi, looked at the portrait of Tang Ning in his hand and asked, "Do you think this person is also a returnee from the Abandoned Land?"

"I think so. He said that his goal is the same as ours, and he is undoubtedly also looking for the space channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm with the Immortal Realm. Moreover, this person can communicate with us without any obstacles, which is something other humans cannot do. This person is so special and powerful, combined with his goal, he is most likely an ancient cultivator from the abandoned land." An early Mahayana cultivator of the Earth Dragon Clan with the same body shape and appearance stood in front of him and answered respectfully.

"Even if he is an ancient cultivator from the Abandoned Land, people from different realms cannot communicate. How did he do it?"

"This is exactly what makes him special. Perhaps it is an opportunity he accidentally gained after returning to the Tianyuan Realm."

Pazexi's eyes flickered. "If this person is really an ancient cultivator from the Abandoned Land, it means that the major forces in the Tianyuan Realm have already had in-depth cooperation with those who returned from the Abandoned Land. But why did he let you come back?"

"I don't understand either. Perhaps he hopes to join forces with us to find the space passage in Tianyuan Realm."

Pazesi said nothing and fell into deep thought.

.........

The sky is clear, the air is bright and cloudless, the sky is as blue as a mirror, and the blue sea is calm.

In the Netherworld Sea, high in the sky, a beam of light quickly passed by and landed on a remote island, revealing Tang Ning's figure.

The figures of the powerful undead around him also turned from virtual to real. They were the six monks who had returned from the abandoned place by Xin Yi and his party.

After so many years, Xin Yi successfully broke through to the late Mahayana stage.

He went to the world of the dead to gather everyone together in order to negotiate with the high-level demons.

This was the first step of his plan. He did not inform the top leaders of the Chamber of Commerce about this matter. He was planning to meet with the demons alone to find out what they had to say first. If there was something to talk about, he would make it public.

If the demons are unwilling to resolve the issue through negotiation and insist on occupying the entire Tianyuan, there is no need to make it known to everyone.

Therefore, he only looked for those who returned from the abandoned areas of the Undead Realm and the Tianyuan Realm.

The Boundary Breaking Bead shone brightly, and the runes that came out of the body were like two intertwined chains, lingering and extending upward until they met at a certain point. As time passed, the space was slowly torn apart, eventually forming a stable rotating light hole.

Tang Ning flashed into the inner room, and the others followed closely behind.

Passing through the deep and dark space passage, when the light shines in, what comes into view is an endless desert. Yan Jiuzheng and others are just below the purple rotating light hole in this space.

"I guess you must be in trouble again." Yan Jiuzheng said calmly.

"There is something I need your help with."

"No problem. But we have already completed the transaction. Now we need another price."

"You have found the location of the space channel connecting the Immortal Realm to the Tianyuan Realm. Have you confirmed it?"

"Of course, we have confirmed it. So I say the deal is done. Now we need to know the exact location of the stable space channel in the dead world. Just state your conditions."

"I should have said that if you take the stable space channel left by the great god to ascend to the fairyland, you will appear in the territory governed by the great god."

"Yes, you said that."

Tang Ning said calmly, "Once you are in the realm of the God of Death, with just one word from me, I can guarantee that you will join the Palace of the God of Death and enjoy the supply of top-quality resources. Or I can also say one word to take your life. What do you think your life is worth?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Jiuzheng and the others were stunned, and their expressions were different. (End of this chapter)
