Take my luck yesterday?Today, I am cultivating immortals and leading my sect to fly.

Xianmeng.

The frost and snow on the mountain road had accumulated into a thick layer because no one had cleaned it, and a cold wind blew up as the wide sleeves passed by. Qiao Xiangxun walked slowly on this extremely familiar narrow road, and suddenly recalled My youthful self hundreds of years ago.

"Brother Qi, do you still remember? When the Immortal Alliance was first established a hundred years ago, you and I were inexperienced, and the accumulated affairs were complicated and difficult. I was impatient, and I had quarrels with Elder Huo over trivial matters. It was all because of you. Peace and comfort among us.”

Qi Feng was a little behind and followed him. He laughed lightly when he heard this, with a little wistfulness and nostalgia in his expression. "Of course I remember, you don't look like the leader of the alliance at all. Not only do you argue with Elder Huo every day, but you also often ignore me." Angry."

The two are close in age and have basically the same background. They are like-minded partners and close friends. They have supported each other along the way. Their friendship is unmatched by ordinary people. Although Qiao Xiangxun is not an overly affectionate character, he still misses the old friendship.

He nodded and smiled, his voice gradually lowered, "Brother Qi, I owe you a lot."

If we really have to count them one by one, in fact, Qi Feng’s contribution to the Immortal Alliance is no less than what Qiao Xiangxun did. Especially in the years when Qiao Xiangxun retreated most frequently, many things and responsibilities were It was Qi Feng who shouldered the responsibility alone. Qiao Xiangxun thought about the past scenes in the past two days and couldn't help but feel regret and guilt when he thought about it - he had added a lot of burden to Qi Feng, and Qi Feng had too little concern. The friendship between the two is deep, but the relationship has become weaker and weaker due to various reasons.

"What are you talking about?" Qi Feng nodded slightly and looked at the snowy scenery in the distance. It seemed that he did not hear the strong emotions in Qiao Xiangxun's words. His always smiling face suppressed all expressions and showed a bit of emotion. Ruthless indifference.

Neither of them spoke a word during the rest of the journey. The atmosphere was quiet but not tense, and their steps were gentle and leisurely, as if they were just going to a long-lost old date on this cold snowy day.

At this time, after several repairs, the Tongtian Pillar was completely different from its original broken appearance. It was originally a soaring bridge connecting the upper world and the incarnation of the vitality of heaven and earth. The place where it was located was surrounded by thick spiritual energy, and was surrounded by Qiao Xiangxun. The Mountain Guarding Formation was moved to guard it. To move it, the Mountain Guarding Formation must be destroyed first. The Mountain Guarding Formation was originally a Soul Gathering Formation. Destroying the Mountain Guarding Formation would also destroy the Soul Gathering Formation.

Qi Feng only glanced in the direction of Tongtian Pillar and realized that this place had been included in the protection range of the mountain protection formation. He knew Qiao Xiangxun's intentions clearly and raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

He stepped into the small peak, turned his head to look at Qiao Xiangxun, and said meaningfully, "Didn't you ask me to repair the Tongtian Pillar? You guard the Tongtian Pillar so tightly, I'm afraid even I can't get close."

"I dare not underestimate you."

Qiao Xiangxun turned around, the emotion in his eyes was gloomy and sad. He looked at Qi Feng, but it was as if he was looking at another person through him.

"Qiongming——" His voice was low, and when he read the name, it was even more inaudible. These two words were chewed between the teeth for a long time, with deep hatred and blood feud, nakedly peeling off the mask on Qi Feng's face. .

Qi Feng stood still, showing a little doubt when he heard the name, and said somewhat absurdly, "Qiong Ming? What Qiong Ming?"

"Stop pretending!" Qiao Xiangxun shouted violently, unable to bear the fact that Demon Lord Qiongming made such a hypocritical expression on Qi Feng's face. In the past few days, whenever he thought about Qi Feng being possessed by the Demon Lord's remnant soul, his heart A heartbreaking pain arose.

How could it be Qi Feng? How could it be Qi Feng? !

"Xiang Xun," the expression on Qi Feng's face faded. He stood with his backlight, half of his face hidden in the shadows, his voice was still gentle, and he said puzzledly, "Do you suspect that I am the Demon Lord Qiong Ming? Is this That’s ridiculous!”

Qiao Xiangxun looked at him steadily, "The remnant soul of Demon Lord Qiongming is attached to you. You are no longer the Qi Feng I knew."

It was very difficult for him to speak every word. Although he knew in his heart that the Qi Feng in front of him was no longer the one in his memory, but seeing the familiar expression on his face, he still felt as if he was in a dream. It's hard to feel cruel.

Qi Feng looked at him, raised his eyebrows in surprise at first, and then asked angrily, "Do you think I am possessed by the remnant soul of the Demon Lord? Ridiculous! Qiao Xiangxun, this matter is not child's play, what do you want?" evidence?"

His words were so precise that Qiao Xiangxun was inevitably shaken for a moment. After noticing this, he immediately calmed down and stopped being fooled by this person. He repeated the strange behavior of "Qi Feng" in the past few days very quickly, "... ...You are the only one who moved the mountain-protecting formation. You moved it to gather the soul formation. Qiong Ming, do you still want to fool me?"

"Ha!" Qi Feng let out a short laugh. After a few seconds of silence, he chose to confess, showing a hint of embarrassment, but he was talking about another thing, "You are in seclusion because you were severely injured in the battle between immortals and demons. I have an old illness, but do you think I’m fine at all? I witnessed with my own eyes the death of Master No. [-] at the hands of the demons, and my injuries were no lighter than yours, but I suffered a heart injury!"

He closed his eyes, as if he had lost all his strength, a look of dejection appeared on his gentle face, and he looked much older in an instant. Under Qiao Xiangxun's astonished eyes, he said, "...I have had inner demons for a long time."

The war between immortals and demons almost destroyed the foundations of countless immortal mountain sects, and also destroyed the Taoist hearts of many young monks. Qi Feng has always been a highly valued disciple of his sect, and the price of his sect’s overthrow is very important to him It was tragic. The hatred and fear of the demons did not dissipate with the passage of time. Instead, they tortured his old heart day after day. Finally, something went wrong in a certain exercise, and he almost almost died. Obsessed, Qi Feng discovered that the shadow had always shrouded him, and he actually gave birth to an inner demon.

Qi Feng smiled self-deprecatingly, "It was probably when you were in seclusion for the first time that I discovered that I had an inner demon. At that time, most of the affairs of the Immortal Alliance were handed over to me. I couldn't abandon it, and I couldn't. Tell you this."

Underneath Qi Feng's gentle appearance, there is also a arrogant side. He is unwilling to admit that deep down in his heart, he is afraid of the demons. It is hard to imagine how others will view him if this matter is known to them. , so he forcibly sealed away the demons in his heart and turned to practice the art of pure heart and ascetic desire. He has always concealed the matter very well.

"...Once the inner demon is born, it is difficult to get rid of it. I thought I could suppress it, but I didn't expect that it has been countered by it frequently these days. Those abnormal behaviors you think are actually the actions of the inner demon, not the demon lord. The remaining soul."
