I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Qin Yao knew perfectly well that Ouyang Shaogong's arrangement was definitely shady.

However, he did need the other party's help from the immortal spirit, and he also wanted to meet the water serpent Qianyu who caused the collapse of Buzhou Mountain. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he agreed and handed over the two jade fragments he had obtained to the other party.

"Lansheng, come back with us."

After receiving the fragment, Ouyang Shaogong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced sideways as he spoke.

Fang Lansheng blinked and pleaded, "This trip went too smoothly, so smoothly that I didn't even realize it; Shao Gong, I want to go to Yaoshan with Hero Tu Su and the others."

"No."

Ouyang Shaogong said seriously, "I'm not discussing this with you, but asking you to come back with me."

"Why should you ask me for anything? You're not my brother-in-law," Fang Lansheng retorted, hands on his hips.

Ouyang Shaogong flicked his head with his finger, knocking him unconscious, and then held him in his arms: "Tusu, we're leaving now."

Qin Yao pursed his lips and smiled, "Go on, I still have the task of sealing the underground palace to do..."

Ouyang Shaogong nodded, picked up Fang Lansheng in his arms, and quickly left with Xunfang.

"What do you think he's plotting?"

Watching their receding figures, Chang'e suddenly spoke in a telepathic voice.

Qin Yao's gaze was deep: "Perhaps he wants to use the Jade Horizontal Shield to absorb spiritual energy, thereby enhancing his own strength."

"He still hasn't given up on getting the sword spirit inside you?" Chang'e asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He won't give up until he hits the Yellow River, and he won't turn back until he hits the south wall. I just hope he can face reality and stop making trouble for himself..." Qin Yao silently withdrew his gaze from the distance and spoke softly.

A short while later.

Qin Yao first used magic to seal the interior of the tomb, then led Chang'e and the black-clad sword spirit out of the underground palace. He then hid the entrance to the underground palace underground and set up a seal on the ground.

"In this way, even if immortals came looking for it, they would not be able to enter the main tomb."

"Thank you, Immortal." The black-clad sword spirit clasped his hands in gratitude.

Qin Yao smiled slightly: "Until we meet again."

"Wait a minute," the black-clad sword spirit suddenly called out to them.

"what's up?"

The black-clad sword spirit knelt on one knee, offering a divine weapon with both hands: "Immortal, I am willing to serve you as my master and fight for you."

Qin Yao looked surprised, then helped him up: "I already have four divine swords. If you follow me, you will only bury your brilliance. So, go find someone who can control you. Or, you can be your own master."

The black-clad sword spirit was filled with disappointment, but he couldn't insist: "Respectfully seeing off the immortal..."

Do you know where Yaoshan is?

After a while, in front of a sacred mountain, Chang'e asked the mountain god who was hiding in the mountain.

"I don't know," the mountain god replied.

The next day, beside a surging river, Qin Yao used magic to summon a river deity from the bottom of the river and asked, "Do you know where Yaoshan is?"

He knew that in the original drama, Tu Su obtained the location of Yaoshan through Yan Mei of the Kui Niu tribe, and then rode in the airship of Yan Mei's elder brother Xiang Tianxiao, crossed the Sea of ​​Thunderclouds, and finally arrived at the sacred Yaoshan.

The problem is that Yaoshan is hard to find, the Kui Niu clan is even harder to find, and there are no records of the Thundercloud Sea.

Therefore, he and Chang'e could only try to find out the location of Yaoshan while attempting to meet Yanmei or Xiangtianxiao.

Unfortunately, the result was not pleasant...

Are there any other options?

Watching the river god depart on the waves, Chang'e glanced sideways and said, "If your guess is correct, Ouyang Shaogong is strengthening his cultivation through the Jade Horizontal Sword. The longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

"Yes, wait a moment."

Qin Yao responded and secretly said, "System, calculate the price to navigate to Yaoshan, and the price to find the Kui Niu spirit Yanmei."

[System calculation in progress...]

[Calculation complete. Navigating to Yaoshan requires 20000 filial piety points, and finding Yanmei requires 8000 filial piety points.]

"Searching for Yanmei."

Seeing this significant difference, Qin Yao sent out a trade request almost without hesitation.

This transaction consumed 8000 Filial Piety Points, leaving you with a remaining balance of 51402 Filial Piety Points.

[Search successful; relevant topographical map has been sent to Fantasy House.]

Looking at the characters before him, Qin Yao's mind stirred slightly, and his divine sense immediately immersed itself in the illusion room, where he indeed saw a map that looked like a phantom.

Looking closely, you can see two dots, one blue and one red. Next to the blue dot is a large river, which is obviously their location.

The red dot is located in a mountainous area, which must be where Yanmei is.

"You feel comfortable wherever you spend your money!"

Silently sighing to himself, Qin Yao looked up at Chang'e and said, "I've sensed the location of the key person. Follow me..."

In the mountains and rivers.

On the tree stump.

The boy, who was tightly bound by ropes, screamed at the top of his lungs, "Help! Help!"

Nearby, a beautiful woman who was starting a fire with firewood sneered and said with great satisfaction, "If you were a beautiful and charming woman, perhaps someone would come to your rescue. But you are just a demon, an ordinary male demon. Who would come to save you?"

Yanmei: "..."

"Crack, click."

In the midst of the silence, the sound of footsteps crushing dry branches suddenly rang out, quickly reaching the ears of the two demons.

Yan Mei snapped out of his daze and cried out for help: "Help! Great hero, help me!"

The succubus slowly rose and glanced to the side, only to see a man and a woman slowly approaching. Although they did not possess any particularly powerful aura, they inexplicably made her tremble with fear.

“My friends, he is a Kui ox, born to be food. If you don’t mind, I can share his meat with you.”

It was precisely because of this fear that the succubus was very polite, even greeting him with a touch of simple warmth.

Yanmei: "..."

broken.

As the octopus spirit's personality changed drastically, he himself went from being a victim to becoming pure food.

"Considering your attitude, I'll spare you this time by releasing him and his people," Qin Yao said with a smile, meeting the complicated gazes of the two demons.

The octopus spirit hesitated for a moment: "This..."

Qin Yao slowly drew the Burning Sword. With a thought, the raging flames instantly transformed into sword light, captivating all who beheld it.

With a gentle wave of his hand, several large trees around him were severed as if by grass roots, and fell heavily onto other trees.

"Any more questions?" Qin Yao asked with a smile as he sheathed his sword and stood still.

The octopus spirit swallowed hard, then quickly cast a spell to untie the ropes binding Yan Mei. He then transformed back into his original form and ran towards a nearby river, saying, "I'll go and release his people right now."

"And the treasures, you have to return them to us too," Yan Mei shouted instinctively.

The octopus spirit dared not harbor any rebellious thoughts. After jumping into the river, its eight tentacles flew about, and it quickly threw one after another Kui Niu and all sorts of other miscellaneous things onto the riverbank.

"Why aren't you quickly kowtowing and thanking these two benefactors?" Yan Mei strode up to the group of Kui Niu demons and shouted. The Kui Niu all knelt down in front of the two men, speaking in human language and expressing their gratitude profusely.

"Get up, everyone."

Qin Yao waved his sleeve, and a burst of immortal energy lifted all the Kui Niu into the air.

Yan Mei's mind raced, and he pointed to the treasures scattered on the ground, saying, "If it weren't for our two benefactors, we would probably be dead, let alone able to protect these treasures."

Therefore, if you two benefactors do not mind, you are welcome to take the treasures as you wish, even if you take them all.

Qin Yao shook his head: "We don't want these treasures, we just want to find out an address from you."

"What address?" Yan Mei asked.

"Yaoshan!"

Yan Mei's expression changed slightly, and he fell silent.

Qin Yao asked knowingly, "Judging from your expression, you must know about Yaoshan. Could you lead us there?"

Yan Mei hesitated, "My two benefactors, Yaoshan is not a good place to go."

I went there once before, and before I even entered the mountains, I was frightened away by a terrifying aura, like a beast encountering a mountain king.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Then please lead us to the foot of Yaoshan Mountain."

“You didn’t understand what I meant…” Yan Mei said urgently.

Qin Yao waved his hand: "I understand, but no matter how dangerous it is there, we have to go, because there are reasons why we must go."

Yan Mei sighed softly, "Alright then, I'll take you to find my elder brother, Xiang Tianxiao."

"Why are you looking for him?" Qin Yao asked.

“He has an airship that can take us across the Sea of ​​Thunderclouds,” Yanmei explained.

Qin Yao smiled, and with a thought, a somersault cloud instantly appeared beneath his feet, lifting him and Chang'e's bodies: "No need for an airship, my somersault cloud can do it just the same."

Yan Mei said, "My benefactor, that sea of ​​thunderclouds is extremely dangerous, and there are magic arrays on the airship..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety," Qin Yao interrupted.

Yan Mei gritted her teeth and braced herself to step onto the somersault cloud: "Alright then, I'll lead the way for you."

In the blink of an eye.

The somersault cloud swept across the void, and guided by Yanmei, it arrived above an ocean, and then entered a world of clouds and mist from the sky above an isolated island.

After traveling for a while, they arrived at a purple cloud layer that was teeming with thunder. The surrounding lightning and thunder made Yan Mei's eyes twitch, and she couldn't help but pray in her heart.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning aimed at the three of them and crashed down like a pillar of heaven descending upon the world.

"Ah~" Yeon-mee screamed instinctively.

Qin Yao looked up and flicked his finger. A wisp of immortal energy transformed into a sword beam, directly clashing with the lightning. The lightning exploded in mid-air, turning into countless tiny bolts of lightning that disappeared above the three people's heads.

"Huh?" Yan Mei was stunned.

Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "I told you not to worry. I have my reasons for coming."

Yanmei: "..."

How could a hero destroy such a thick bolt of lightning with his bare hands? Is he a god or an immortal?

It couldn't possibly be a human; humans don't possess such power.

As his thoughts raced, the somersault cloud had already passed through the sea of ​​thunderclouds and slowly came to a stop in front of a towering divine mountain.

"Is this Yaoshan?"

Sensing the faint, terrifying aura emanating from the mountains, Qin Yao spoke softly.

“That’s right, this is Yaoshan, the legendary ancient immortal mountain,” Yanmei replied.

Qin Yao rode a cloud to the foot of the mountain and said softly, "Wait here. After I come down, I will take you away with me."

Yan Mei suddenly felt an urge to follow them up the mountain. But she held back the words she was about to say.

Although the hero had proven his abilities under the thunder and storm, he could not erase the terrifying feeling that the person in the mountains had given him.

As a result, he suppressed his passion and impulse.

Before long, Qin Yao and Chang'e climbed to the top of the mountain and came to a cliff. They immediately saw the Moon Spirit Flower growing on the cliff.

But just as Chang'e was about to cast a spell to pluck the fairy flower, a black dragon suddenly flew out of the sea below the cliff and emitted a dragon's breath towards Chang'e.

Qin Yao flicked his sleeve and unleashed a burst of immortal energy, forcefully shattering the dragon's breath: "Who are you? State your name."

The black dragon transformed into human form in front of the two and stared at Qin Yao, saying, "There is the aura of an old friend on your body, or rather, within your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword-shaped sword spirit that Qin Yao and Ouyang Shaogong had sealed together suddenly trembled, as if struggling or crying for help.

However, all of its actions were concealed by the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and could not be detected by the Black Dragon.

"Why did you organize us to pick Moon Spirit Flowers?" Qin Yao didn't ask about the details of his old friend's visit, but instead brought the conversation back to the main topic with a single sentence.

Qianyu smiled and said, "Are you deliberately avoiding this question? You also know that one day, the Immortal Spirit of Changqin will devour your will and thus be resurrected?"

Qin Yao shook his head: "It's not that I'm avoiding it, I'm just not interested in it."

Qianyu thought for a moment and said, "Fine, since you've said so, what else can I say? However, the Moon Spirit Flower is a treasure of Yaoshan, and you are not Changqin, so you cannot take it."

Qin Yao pondered and said, "As far as I know, Crown Prince Changqin has already been reincarnated... Not to mention the Moon Spirit Flower, even this Yaoshan Mountain is unclaimed land."

“That’s true, but as Changqin’s friend, I have an obligation to protect every blade of grass and every tree on Yaoshan Mountain for him,” Qianyu replied.

"So, what do you mean?" Qin Yao asked in a deep voice.

Qianyu's eyes suddenly shone brightly: "Defeat me, and you will obtain this Moon Spirit Flower."

Qin Yao did not want to fight him. Firstly, because this guy was indeed very strong, really very strong. In ancient times, Changqin led the heavenly soldiers and generals but failed to capture him. Instead, he broke Buzhou Mountain by crashing into him.

Moreover, there is no point in fighting if there is no deep-seated hatred between the two sides.

Secondly, if a fight breaks out and gets out of control, it will be a troublesome situation no matter who gets hurt, just like the outcome of the Battle of Buzhou Mountain.

"As far as I know, you were the culprit behind the collapse of Mount Buzhou back then, weren't you?" Qin Yao asked after much deliberation.

Qianyu's expression changed slightly: "What are you trying to say?"

Qin Yao unleashed his full aura, his immortal pressure surging instantly: "How does my strength compare to Changqin's?"

Qianyu solemnly replied, "Only strong, not weak."

"If we start fighting, will it destroy Yaoshan?"
You keep saying you want to protect every tree and blade of grass on Yaoshan Mountain, but your demands are aimed at destroying Yaoshan Mountain. Isn't that a contradiction?

"Or do you think I'd go with you somewhere else and engage in a contest that's destined to be meaningless?" Qin Yao said quietly.

Qianyu was speechless.

"Tell me your wishes or regrets, and I'll help you fulfill them or make up for your regrets. In return, you'll give me the Moon Spirit Flower. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?" Qin Yao tempted him.

Qianyu pursed his lips, then suddenly laughed, transforming back into his true black dragon form:

"Changqin and I once made an ancient pact that when I cultivate into a dragon that can reach the heavens and the earth, I will invite Changqin to sit beside my dragon horns and take her to the heavens and the earth, riding the wind and traveling thousands of miles."

Now you carry the aura of an old friend, like a zither reincarnated to me. Perhaps you can fulfill this promise to me in his place…” (End of Chapter)
