Hell Emperor.

Chapter 545 Shen Qingge - Sword Sect
The land of Taiyin.

The deafening roar woke up Xia Wei from her sleep.

"Well……"

She sat up. The strong backlash of her obsession left untold pain in her body. Her brows furrowed, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"you're awake?"

Seeing Xia Wei wake up, Yao Bai stopped what she was doing, and the boundless sea of ​​thunder was taken into her body, and she turned to Xia Wei's side.

"How long have I been unconscious..."

Xia Wei's face looked grim. Just talking had triggered the hidden injuries in her body, making her extremely unbearable.

"It's been a few days. Ever since that day when you fought with the Golden Crow Star Soul, you have been unconscious. I almost thought that you would never wake up again." Yao Bai answered slowly, with some concern in his words.

"How many days has it been? The elixir of immortality refined in the Moon Palace..." Xia Wei remembered something and her face changed immediately. Her eyes were full of urgency. She didn't care about the backlash of going crazy and wanted to find out the situation.

Fortunately, Yao Bai stopped her and explained the situation: "Don't worry, the shock caused by the awakening of the Golden Crow Star Soul disturbed the alchemists in the palace, delaying the time for the elixir to be produced. However, judging from the movements over there, it should be soon..."

Xia Wei nodded and said gratefully, "Thanks to you. If you hadn't collected intelligence in the past few days, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know what happened."

After a pause, Xia Wei's eyes also fell on the Xuanhe divine thunder that remained outside Yao Bai's body. Even Xia Wei was a little surprised by the constantly jumping pure arcs of electricity:

"When did you achieve such a high level of attainment in the Imperial Lightning Treasure Mirror? You were able to condense the Nine Heavens Mysterious Breaker. Judging from its power, it is probably comparable to what I condensed..."

Yao Bai seemed to be unconcerned and said, "You are not the only one who has realized the true meaning of the Way of Thunder from the Mysterious Lady's Thunder Seal. I have also witnessed its great power. I have not been idle at all during this period of time, so of course I have gained something."

Xia Wei smiled and was happy for the progress Yao Bai had made. She felt less depressed. It was one of the few good news.

As he spoke, Yao Bai took out a round mirror and carefully looked at his face with three-part lips in the mirror:
"My attainments in martial arts have indeed improved a lot, but why do I still look so ugly when I transform into a human? When will I be able to transform into a real human?"

Xia Wei didn't think so: "Who said you are ugly like this? In my opinion, you are the most beautiful you now."

Yao Bai shook his head repeatedly: "The marriage partner you chose for me is obviously a human. How can a human like a monster? Even if a monster becomes a monster fairy, it can't get rid of the name of a monster. What if that person doesn't like me?"

Xia Wei pursed her lips and said, "No, my master never judges people by appearance. Even if you are a monster, as long as you are kind-hearted, my master will not despise you."

Yao Bai did not answer, but slowly lowered his head with a complicated look on his face, feeling regretful for his own background.

After some persuasion, Xia Wei also looked into the distance:

"The backlash of the devil's obsession is still rooted in my body. I can't get rid of it for a long time, but as long as I get used to it, I can still suppress it temporarily. Now the elixir of immortality is about to be refined. From the soil full of sin, only weird evil flowers can grow, not beautiful flowers. Those life spans are the blood and tears of mortals. Let's destroy it now!"

Hearing this, Yao Bai also put down the round mirror in his hand, stood up, and a few blue lightning flashed in his red pupils: "Let's go, we go together."

…………

On the coast.

Looking up, Su Miao couldn't help but show a happy expression as she saw the endless deep sea where the water and sky met in front of her:

"After many days, we are finally here... Ahead is the North Sea, which is also where you will need to stay for many years. When you have achieved unparalleled merit, you can return to the Xuannv Sect."

Behind Su Miao, Shen Qingge remained silent, with a hint of loneliness and desolation in the depths of his cold eyes.

The peerless heavenly skill cannot be accomplished in a small way. How many ancestors have spent their entire lives, and the great achievements they have made are just the tip of the iceberg of heavenly skills. It seems that this dead and boundless land of the North Sea is the cage where she will be for the rest of her life, trapping her to death here, and she will never be able to escape for the rest of her life.

"With human strength, how can one claim the power of heaven as his own? Even if one is an immortal, he cannot even compare to the heavens in the slightest. So where can one find the power of heaven?"

Shen Qingge sighed softly. Seeing this, Su Miao gave instructions:

"I'll tell you a secret. The Nether Spirit Palace is in need of a divine beast to protect it. I heard that there are many divine beasts in the North Sea. As long as you catch a suitable divine beast, you still have a chance to return to the Xuannv Sect. Whether you have achieved the Heavenly Merit or not is up to the ancestor."

Shen Qingge nodded slightly, but it was not an easy task for ordinary immortals to capture the divine beast.

At least they found the direction to move forward, and Shen Qingge's complexion improved. Even if the divine beast was hard to find, as long as they were willing to try more, they might be able to gain something.

What she was most concerned about was another thing: "Before coming here, Ajie asked me to collect information about the Northern Ocean, especially about the whereabouts of the Seal of the Underworld Emperor. The seal that symbolizes the Emperor of the Underworld is now here... However, the Northern Ocean is so vast that it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack if I want to find it."

At this time, several sword auras suddenly came from afar, and several flying swords suddenly appeared in the air. On each flying sword stood a white-clothed swordsman with great cultivation, and they seemed to be rushing towards this side.

"Ok?"

Su Miao raised her eyebrows, wondering who was so bold as to obstruct the Xuannv Sect's actions. Could it be that someone was blind and came here to rob the sect? She immediately spoke loudly:
"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"

Su Miao was answered by the sword cultivators' merciless scolding:
"This is the territory of the Beiming Sword Sect. How dare you ask who we are? You are the ones who should reveal your identities!" "Tell me quickly, are you from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave? What is your intention in breaking into our territory?"

Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Shen Qingge said in a cold voice: "We are from the Xuannv Sect. The North Sea is so vast. When did it become the territory of the Sword Sect?"

"The descendant of Xuannv?"

"How could it be...hiss..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the sword cultivators who had been coming at them aggressively just now changed drastically. They looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes. The second-level sword cultivator who was in the lead asked:
"You say you are the descendant of Xuannv, do you have any proof?"

"Proof? The descendants of Xuannv never need proof. My words are the proof. Any villain who dares to pretend to be the descendant of Xuannv will be hunted down by the Xuannv sect. Even if he flees to the ends of the earth, there is no possibility of escape." Su Miao crossed her arms and said with disdain.

After hearing this, several sword cultivators finally believed it:
"This aura... is indeed the descendant of Xuannv."

"That's right. If someone who doesn't know the truth takes out the token to disguise himself, he will be at a disadvantage. The Xuannv Sect is above all the immortals in this continent, so why should they show us their credentials?"

Seeing that the trouble was gone, Su Miao also waved her hand: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't you leave quickly? If you continue to stay here, do you want to learn the moves of the descendants of Xuannv?"

The leading sword cultivator bowed respectfully and spoke slowly, "I hope the descendants of Xuannv will forgive me. Previously, we were blind and neglected the descendants of Xuannv. We also misunderstood you as thieves from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Please accept our apology, fairies."

Su Miao glanced at him, not caring about it, and listened to him say: "Speaking of which, there is also an unknown origin between the Beiming Sword Sect and the Xuannv Sect. If there were no descendants of the Xuannv, I am afraid that even the Beiming Sword Sect would not exist in the world."

Su Miao was a little curious. She had never heard anyone mention this before, so she questioned:
"Really? Is there such a thing? You didn't just hear about the name of the descendant of Xuannv and come to get close to me, right?"

"It is absolutely true." The sword cultivator assured, "The origin of the Beiming Sword Sect is that a group of sword cultivators in the past accidentally discovered a shocking sword mark here, which gathered the supreme sword intent and led directly to the source of the sword. Because of the existence of that sword intent, the sword cultivators gathered here, constantly comprehending and feeling it, and formed the Beiming Sword Sect in the future."

After a pause, he continued, "According to the research of the elders in the sect, that shocking sword mark was left by a descendant of Xuannv many years ago. Even though time has changed and hundreds of years have passed, the supreme sword intent contained in that sword mark has not been erased. It can be said that it is because of the descendants of Xuannv that the Beiming Sword Sect has been able to survive to this day. It's just a pity that after so many years, the elders can't tell which generation of descendants of Xuannv left that sword mark."

Hearing this, Shen Qingge couldn't help but become interested. As a sword cultivator, she could also gain some insights from the sword intent: "Since this sword intent was left by the founder of the Xuannv Sect, can you take us to see it? If I examine it, perhaps I can identify which generation of founders it came from."

"This……"

The sword cultivator hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to take you two there, but the sword mark is now in the deepest part of the Sword Sect's forbidden land, and the key to the forbidden land was stolen by the thieves from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Not to mention you, even the cultivators in the Sword Sect can only sigh at the gate of the forbidden land and can't go beyond it at all."

Upon hearing this news, Shen Qingge couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and suddenly frowned: "People from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, why are they here?"

The sword cultivator shook his head: "You should ask them. Not only did they rob the Sword Sect of its treasure, they also brutally killed many of its disciples. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people. The disciples in the sect are in a panic. If I find the people from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, I will definitely not let them go! Not long ago, we just received intelligence that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave might make another move, so we went out to investigate."

As they were talking, several more people came flying on swords from a distance. One of them was covered in blood and looked in a miserable state. Half of his body had been ravaged by the poison and was swollen beyond recognition, having turned a horrifying purple-blue color. Several others were also injured, which shocked everyone.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Who hurt you so badly?"

The flying sword fell, and the swollen man was poisoned by blood and took his last breath. His companion said in a crying voice: "It's the people from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave... They appeared in groups and attacked us. Not only that, I heard that even the cave master came..."

"What……"

Upon hearing the news, the sword practitioners were horrified, and even the hands holding the swords could not stop shaking.

They had all heard more or less about the horrific legend about the master of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. The Ten Thousand Snakes Cave was a demonic sect known for its cruelty and cunningness, and the master of the cave was obviously not a good person.

“I didn’t expect that even the seventh-level cave master would come… They think too highly of the Beiming Sword Sect. Compared with the Beiming Sword Sect, there is no need for the cave master to take action personally. What should we do now…”

The leading sword cultivator had a dazed look in his eyes. The ordinary immortals in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave alone were far beyond the reach of the Sword Sect. Now that the cave master had arrived in person, was he planning to completely wipe out the Sword Sect from the world?

Su Miao also realized that things were not simple, and said solemnly: "Do you think the cave owner is bored? Now is a critical moment, and all the immortals are keeping a close eye on the movements of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. He appeared here, definitely not for the Sword Sect, I'm afraid he has other intentions..."

As she spoke, Su Miao also felt a bit anxious. She thought that her mission would be accomplished after escorting Shen Qingge to Beiming. However, she never expected that even the owner of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave would now rush here, as if there were signs of a big move. It seemed that she had accidentally stumbled upon some incredible conspiracy.

As the descendant of Xuannv, she is also responsible for saving all living beings. Now even if she wants to leave, she has nowhere to go. If the founder of the sect finds out that she has unloaded the burden and walked away at a critical moment, she will inevitably be severely punished.

"Really? It's obviously the most critical moment, but Ye Jie is not here. Shouldn't he come with me to send you to Beiming? Why did he let you come alone? I saw that he seemed to be very close to you on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he is not reliable at all!"

After learning the news about the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, Su Miao became extremely anxious. The image of Ye Jie subconsciously appeared in her mind, followed by some complaints. With the realm of her and Shen Qingge, they were no match for the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. At the critical moment, she might have to rely on Ye Jie.

Shen Qingge said helplessly: "Ajie has something important to do. Besides, the master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is at the seventh level. Even with the suppression of the Equality Formation, his strength is beyond our continent. Even if Ajie comes, I am afraid he will not be his opponent. In any case, it is better to be careful. This Beiming land is not safe."

The two of them thought about it and realized that they had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the North Sea. They had no idea what was going on and might run into someone from the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. That would be disastrous.

Since there is such a connection between Bei Ming Sword Sect and Xuan Nu Sect, then it would be a waste to use it. The Sword Sect has been operating here for a hundred years, and perhaps they can find out more information. Shen Qingge immediately spoke:
"The Ten Thousand Snake Cave wants to revive the demon god and endanger the world, which is unacceptable to the righteousness of the world. Now the disciples of the Sword Sect are in trouble and have been killed by the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. As the descendants of Xuannv, we should help them."

Hearing this, several sword cultivators were overjoyed. The name of the descendant of Xuannv was so well-known that if they could get help from the descendant of Xuannv, most of their disciples would be able to survive.
