I'm not a psychopath!

Li Changsheng said: "Yes."

"If we have a strong enemy outside, we cannot have any internal worries. We should deal with the demon tribe first. If they can put aside their prejudices and unite to face the outside world, that's fine. If not, that's fine."

"Fight to the death!"

Jiang Qing nodded. He couldn't get involved in such a high-level battle, so he asked:

"Is there anything I can do?"

"This is why I came to see you." Li Changsheng looked at Jiang Qing and was suddenly stunned, "Huh? Junior brother, you are already in the late Nascent Soul stage?

OK OK! "

"It's like this. If the demon tribe refuses to cooperate, then the battle of the demon tribe will definitely end in one month at the shortest and three months at the longest. At that time, the middle-level forces will be needed to be dispatched to clean up the remaining demon tribe."

Jiang Qing was stunned when he heard this. It took him more than ten seconds to come back to his senses and nod seriously.

"It seems you already understand." Li Changsheng smiled.

Jiang Qing nodded, "At first I was still wondering, if the top level of the demon race has been destroyed, then we should not have to worry about the middle level demon race.

Anyway, only the most powerful fighters can participate in the upcoming battle to the north, and those monsters who are not at a high enough level cannot pose any threat at all.

At most, we can kill some civilians or wandering cultivators, but in the face of a great catastrophe, I personally think... there is no other way. Although it sounds cruel, in this situation we may even have to sacrifice our chariot to save our king, not to mention our soldiers.

At this point my thinking got into a misunderstanding.

Until I suddenly remembered the Demon God. The skeleton of the Demon God in Lingxi Province alone polluted an area of ​​thousands of miles, causing many creatures to mutate and even giving birth to a special existence called "Demon".

So I quickly thought, what if a living demon entered Southern Xinjiang?
I'm afraid the pollution range is larger and the pollution capacity is stronger. Once a creature is transformed into a demon, it will gain strange abilities and its strength will increase greatly.

Therefore, if the demon clan refuses to cooperate, they will have no choice but to be exterminated. At least all the demons at the Nascent Soul level must be killed. Otherwise, the Nascent Soul will turn into a demon, which may threaten the God Transformation cultivators. Moreover, there are many demons at the Nascent Soul level.

If you come and stab our human race again on the battlefield in the North..."

Li Changsheng nodded, "Why didn't I realize before that Junior Brother's reasoning ability is so strong? This is the real situation.

Being attacked from both sides is a taboo in military strategy!
The demon tribe is also a tough nut to crack. We still don’t know how much combat power is left after defeating this tough nut. But no matter how much combat power is left, the situation in the north is critical, and we must rush to the north immediately to provide assistance.

So there is definitely no time to search for the monsters scattered everywhere, so this needs to be left to you.

There is one more thing besides this.

It's not just my Ziyun Sect, the top leaders of the four major immortal sects have all been dispatched, leaving the sect empty... Although those independent sects are usually afraid of our strength, at this critical moment, maybe someone will still take over our power.

It is hard to understand how much power the independent cultivators have accumulated, but there should not be any extremely powerful ones or cultivators in the tribulation period. The four major sects have been guarding against this strictly, and if they find any, they will either kill them or recruit them.

After we leave, the command of Ziyun Sect will be completely handed over to you.

The first is to protect the disciples of the sect. If there are independent cultivators who are blinded by greed and attack, we will fight if we can defeat them, and retreat if we cannot.

To ensure the survival of the people, we need to kill the demons."

Jiang Qing frowned slightly, "With a powerful enemy at hand, are those independent cultivators still going to attack us?"

He doesn't understand!

If the human race loses, everyone will die. Why do we still fight among ourselves in this situation? If we have this strength, why don't we go to the demon race battlefield to kill the enemy?
Li Changsheng sighed helplessly, "Desires are boundless, and human hearts are hard to predict... It's not absolute, but be prepared anyway.

One last thing. "

"Please speak, senior brother." Jiang Qing suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Li Changsheng handed over a ring and said, "All the high-ranking members of the sect have been dispatched. It may be difficult to come back alive. The core members must also wipe out the monsters. If we are not careful, the inheritance of the sect will be cut off.

In fact, the sect leader, Taoist Ziyun, had anticipated this catastrophe a long time ago. He had tried to break through through seclusion countless times in order to step into a higher realm and thus avoid the catastrophe."

"But the master failed."

Jiang Qing spoke up.

"Yes, we failed, so we can only settle for the next best thing. The sect master has been expanding the space since the goat-headed priest knocked on the door and woke us up.

An independent small world has been opened up. Now, the sect has selected talented disciples and sent them into the space along with all the Taoist scriptures of Ziyun Sect.

This ring is the final key to open the space."

Li Changsheng handed it to Jiang Qing and said, "If you are defeated, use the key. It can teleport you into that small world. From then on, no matter what happens, the small world will be closed for a thousand years.

Even if the strongest person takes another half step, it will be difficult to find any trace of him. "

No wonder Master Ziyun has not taken care of anything since he came out of seclusion, and left all matters to Qingsu. This turns out to be the reason.

Jiang Qing stared blankly at the ring in his hand and asked, "How many people can this ring carry?"

"one person."

"That……"

"Don't worry, your Master Qingsu has already knocked Qin Xiaosui unconscious and thrown him in. There are also Luo Shui, Luo Hua, and some of your familiar brothers and sisters. It's strange to say that those who are friends with you are all very talented."

Jiang Qing nodded, "That's good."

Li Changsheng looked at Jiang Qing, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. No one said anything until he suddenly lost his temper: "Junior brother, don't you want to know why the sect decided to keep you outside when all the other talented disciples entered the small world?"

"Of course I am in control of the situation. And didn't you give me the ring?"

“Uh…” Li Changsheng was speechless. How could his junior brother become innocent all of a sudden? “Actually, those who stay here are going to die. Whether you can survive depends entirely on luck. At the beginning, we wrote that we would send you into the small world.

It’s because of the national teacher.”

"National Master?" Jiang Qing was puzzled.

"Well, the Imperial Master came in person and wanted to see you. The Sect Master refused on your behalf, but the Imperial Master seemed determined, and the two were about to fight... In the end, the Imperial Master did not take action, but proposed a condition.

The original words of the national teacher are:

Jiang Qing must stay outside. In this catastrophe of heaven and earth, he is the only variable.

Tell him to come to the capital when he is at his wit's end."

"So this ring is actually for selfish reasons. Don't force yourself when you encounter an insurmountable danger." Li Changsheng spoke in a rare serious tone.

“This is also what your Master Qingsu meant. She doesn’t dare to come to see you. Well, actually, she has always been a bit arrogant and has a little girl’s nature. She always puts on airs.

Just like that, I left. ”

Li Changsheng walked up to Jiang Qing and naturally straightened his collar.

"Big Brother, take care."

"Well, take care."

After a thousand words were said, the only words left were "take care". Li Changsheng left, but after leaving Ziyun Sect, he did not follow the main force.

Because there is no way to be sure whether the demons can cooperate, we can only prepare for the worst.

It will take more than a month to defeat the demon tribe, and the North cannot hold out for that long, so before the final decisive battle comes, someone must go to the North to delay time.

And the people who were sent to the northern border...

In fact, it was just a way to die. Jiang Qing watched Li Changsheng fly away on the cloud until he could no longer see him. From now on, he needed to be responsible for the entire Ziyun Sect.

I had joked before that I would help Qingsu share the pressure, but now, all the burden is on her.

Jiang Qing walked down the mountain. He still needed to learn some things about the sect.

"what?"

While walking, Jiang Qing felt a foreign object on his chest. He touched his chest and took out a scroll, which he opened.

Inside was a portrait of the founder of the Ninth Peak. I was afraid that the eldest senior brother had put it in when he pretended to straighten my collar, for fear that I would not accept it.

This is life-saving stuff.

Each of the nine peaks of Ziyun Sect has its own heritage, and now I'm afraid that all of them have come out in full force.

The foundation of his Ninth Peak is three portraits of the ancestors. One was used by the Sheep Fish Priest when he came to the gate, which means there are two left.

"Big Brother, you left all your life-saving talismans to me..."

Silent for a long time.

……

Old Man Zhu sat cross-legged in the dim secret room, his eyes closed, immersed in the depths of his mind.

He was performing a secret technique that came with a huge price, but for him now, the price was no longer important, as the scales on his arm had already covered his entire forearm.

With this remnant...

Maybe there's something else that can be done.

He wants to peek into the future, trying to understand the chaotic future and find a glimmer of hope!
There was silence all around, with only the breathing of Old Man Zhu echoing in a cave.

As time passed, a look of exhaustion gradually appeared on his face.

The art of peeking into the future is a huge burden on the soul. Every peek is like looking for the only clue among countless fragments.

Suddenly, a series of images flashed through Old Man Zhu's consciousness, they were like flowing water, fast and chaotic.

Some scenes are of the future of a familiar valley, while others are of the life and death moments of a mortal.

These images may concern tomorrow, or they may only be in the next hour.

The flow of information was like a flood, constantly impacting Old Man Zhu's soul. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his temples were throbbing with unbearable pain.

But he did not give up, and screened it again and again until he finally saw the key picture - the real purpose of the extraterritorial demon.

However, at this moment, the picture shattered like glass, turning into countless points of light and dissipating in the air.

Old Man Zhu's body shook violently, then he tilted and fell onto the cold stone bed.

"Puff..." A large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

His eyes were filled with bloodshot, his lips were trembling, and he uttered a wail filled with despair: "God has doomed the human race, God has doomed the human race!"

His heart was filled with heaviness and powerlessness. The last scene he saw revealed a terrible future. The true purpose of the extraterritorial demon was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

And he paid a huge price for this truth.

Old Man Zhu struggled to sit up from the bed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and there was a determination in his eyes.

Although this glimpse into the future cost him dearly, he at least knew what had to be done.

He must act immediately and tell this secret to all the forces he can muster, even at the cost of his own life, to give the human race a glimmer of hope.

Old Man Zhu slowly stood up and walked out of the secret room with unsteady steps. Every step seemed extremely difficult.

But in his heart, there is an indomitable will that supports him to move forward.

"Who should I look for now...the current imperial master?" He shook his head, as if it was useless to look for anyone.

He could not find a glimmer of hope, but instead saw an even darker future.

despair.

Everyone's life will come to an end, and he suddenly felt relieved. He wanted to go back to the village, weave his own bamboo basket, and listen to his grandson who was curious about everything call him grandpa.

"Alas, these are the last days. Let's go to Ziyun Sect."

……

In the early morning, the sky was pale as a fish belly, and patches of morning glow intertwined in the sky to create a gorgeous picture.

Zhenren Ziyun and Qingsu stood on the Ziyun flying boat, shuttling between the sea of ​​clouds, and the morning glow stretched their shadows into long lines.

Taoist Ziyun was dressed in a white Taoist robe, his silver hair dancing in the wind, giving him the air of an immortal. Qingsu stood respectfully behind him with a resolute look on his face.

The flying boat is the treasure of the Ziyun Sect. It can travel thousands of miles every day. The bottom of the boat is engraved with cloud and wind magic arrays drawn by True Man Ziyun himself. It uses spiritual jade as a guide to drive the flying boat through the air.

At this moment, True Man Ziyun took action personally to urge the attack, which was more than a hundred times faster than Jiang Qing.

The flying boat is made of thousand-year-old purple cloud wood, which is strong and durable enough to withstand the strong winds during flight.

"Master, can we really resolve the conflict between the two tribes when we go to the demon tribe this time?" Qingsu stared into the distance, with a hint of worry in his voice.

Master Ziyun sighed softly, with a deep look in his eyes. "The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity. The conflict between the human and demon races has not been cold in a day, but now that the catastrophe is approaching, the only way to overcome the difficulties together is to let go of the old grudges.

If it doesn’t work…”

Everything is unspoken.

Qingsu nodded silently, he knew that what his master said was very true.

Her eyes fell on the sea of ​​clouds below the flying boat, but her mind was thinking about the upcoming trip to the demon tribe.

Master Ziyun looked at his disciple, a trace of kindness flashed in his eyes, "Qingsu, what are your plans for this trip to the demon tribe?"

Qing Su pondered for a moment and said slowly: "My disciple believes that although the demon race and our human race have many differences, they both have spirituality and can distinguish right from wrong.

This time, we should move people with sincerity, convince demons with reason, and seek ways to coexist peacefully.

This is the best policy.”

True Man Ziyun nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Qingsu's answer. In this situation, taking action would be the only option.

He raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "Look, that's the demon tribe's territory."

Qingsu looked in the direction pointed by his master, and saw a towering mountain faintly visible in the distant sea of ​​clouds. The mountain was filled with spiritual energy and ethereal music, which was obviously extraordinary.

"Master, is that mountain range where the demons live?" Qingsu asked.

True Man Ziyun nodded, "Yes, that is the holy land of the demon race, the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain.

The chief of the demon tribe is a highly skilled demon with great magical powers. We must be careful when we go there this time."

The flying boat shuttled through the sea of ​​clouds, gradually approaching the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. Ziyun Zhenren and Qingsu stood at the bow of the boat, waiting intently.
