Crane Spirit Sect.
deep.

An extremely hidden secret place of gravel.

Honeycomb-like black mountains stand in the middle of it, and from a distance they look like countless huge stacked skulls.

Yin coffins were placed in the holes of these skulls, some were empty and some were full. The full ones contained the bodies of cultivators at the Xuanhuang level. The bodies of Elder Ding, Elder Zhao, and even the Sixth Elder were among them.

As for the large, rugged cave below, an ordinary coffin was used to hold a psychic cultivator.

In order to create a sense of companionship with her lover, Xiao Lingdang specially changed into a moon-white crane cloak made of the same material. Her long sleeves hung down slightly, and she looked like a floating cloud when she walked.

Da da da.
Song Yan walked through the gloomy cave without hiding his movements, and the dark color made him look even more gloomy.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of a coffin being pushed in the cave.

After a "click, click" sound, there was a series of similar harsh sounds.

In the coffin, the ghost cultivators at the God Transformation Realm sat up straight, their eyes dull, and their bodies "overlapping in three aspects", as if their body, soul, and thoughts were completely separated. Sometimes their spirit and soul were outside their bodies, and sometimes demons crawled out from the surface of their souls. As for the body, it was actually a corpse goblin from the underworld at the God Transformation level.

This is the special thing about Yin Qi.

Any ghost cultivator born from Yin energy will be much stronger than when they were alive, simply because they have been divided into three. The body is a life in the underworld, the thoughts are demons in the sky, and the soul is similar to a new life, and the only thing they think about is "invade, invade, invade, and convert more beings into ghost cultivators."

Because of this, Xiao Hanshan's sniping seemed particularly invincible. Basically, there were not many people below the third level of Xuanhuang who could withstand his fatal blow after "Sitting in Desolation".

At this time, Song Yan was walking and looking at the newly formed ghost cultivators.

The air was suddenly filled with the scent of peach blossoms. Xiao Lingling glanced at the ghost cultivator who was walking on the peach blossoms. A hint of vigilance flashed across her pupils. Then she leaned close to Song Yan and called out sweetly, "Sister Xianggu."

Hua Xianggu covered her lips, raised her head, and giggled, then said: "Lao Li, this girl is afraid that I will snatch you away! This girl is actually afraid that I will snatch you away! Hehehe"

Song Yan smiled.

Hua Xiang Gu said, "How about it, Lao Li, do you want me to have another Taoist companion?"

As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Lingling beside her. Although Xiao Lingling was still smiling, there was a visibly forced look in her smile.

This was clearly a joke, meant to tease her, but it actually made her jealous.

Hua Xianggu found it more and more interesting and thought it was rare that there was such a female cultivator in the Xuanhuang realm, so he planned to continue saying some shameless words to tease this young lady.

Song Yan interrupted, "Okay, Sister Xianggu, let's talk business. Why did you call me here today?"

Hua Xianggu's expression became serious, and he said, "Old Li, I do have something important to discuss with you."

She looked at the newly bred ghost cultivator with a gloomy expression and said, "Recently, some disciples of the Heling Sect have begun to notice that something is wrong."

Song Yan nodded.

Of course he knew that the ghost cultivator had not leaked the information, but those who could practice in the Heling Sect were not fools. Even though there was no sound, they were extremely alert. Such a long time was enough for those disciples to notice some clues.

Hua Xianggu said: "Today, this batch of Divine Transformation disciples have just been bred, I plan to..."

A cold look flashed across her eyes, and she said in a low and vicious voice: "In order to do it once and for all, it is better to kill all the remaining disciples. Although there are more than sixty Xuanhuang first-grade disciples and many families under them, it is better to kill them all in one go than to let them cause trouble.

At that time, all those disciples will be placed in this place of yin energy, and the ghost cultivators who were just born today will show up outside.

Although the noise was too loud and might attract the attention of someone, what could they do even if they noticed?

We still have people in the Duanhai Sect. Even if the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty comes to besiege us, there will still be chaos. As long as there is chaos, it will be good for us.

As for Xiao Hanshan, he and I have similar opinions. We both want to make a big deal and get rid of it once and for all."

Song Yan looked thoughtful when he heard this.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Sister Xianggu, stop first and don't do anything. Don't expand the Duanhai Sect for the time being, just keep my four clones."

Hua Xianggu frowned and said, "Old Li, it would be fine if you didn't make a move, but why did you stop?"

Song Yan said: "I will use He Wuya and other sect leaders of the Heling Sect to appease the disciples and dispel their doubts. As long as no one gets into trouble, they will naturally think that they are overthinking after a while."

Seeing that Hua Xianggu was about to say something, Song Yan said directly: "Someone from Tianqi Sword Palace has come, and it's the news from Xiujian Xueyuan.

Although no one knows where the empty boat of Tianqi Sword Palace has gone, it is not impossible that it has gone to the Western Ming Region.

I don't know what they are here for, but...it's time to keep a low profile."

Hua Xianggu pondered for a while, then she rolled her eyes and said, "Old Li, we will keep a low profile, there's no need to be so cautious. Are you still worried about Xiao Hanshan and I working together?"

A normal person might just let it go. After all, he had been reminded and Hua Xiang Gu was not a small fellow and had his own thoughts.

But Song Yan looked at Hua Xianggu quietly and said sincerely: "Sister Xianggu, haste makes waste. How is your luck today different from those monks who wanted to enter the dragon battlefield to explore treasures that day?"

Hua Xianggu was stunned for a moment, struggling, but finally said, "Forget it, I'll listen to you, Lao Li!"

Finished
She raised her hand and waved.

Clap clap clap!

The coffin lids were closed one by one.

"Keep sleeping! Sleep until Lao Li thinks you can wake up!"

Snapped.

Song Yan tossed the Yin Qi crystal.

Then he clenched his five fingers, then stretched them out, letting the crystal spin around.

The current stable situation was hard-won for him, and he didn't want to be upset and have the current peace ruined by a sudden disaster.
He looked at the little bell on the left side of the couch and the little Wei'er on the right side. Both girls were sleeping facing him and were sleeping soundly.

Not far away, Xiaobing stretched out his body comfortably, lying on a secret snow mountain. The Bingyuan Phoenix likes the cold, and some ice and snow are just comfortable for him.

The past scenes flashed by.

There was a slight haze in Song Yan's eyes.

Tianqi Sword Palace is here to find him, right?

How can the Qingming Chamber of Commerce possess the "Yin Energy Crystal" and the "Earth Burial Map that matches the "Law of Dragon Burial""?
Just as he was thinking, he felt his ankle being hooked again. He turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Wei'er who inadvertently extended an olive branch to him in her sleep. He dived into the quilt and hugged her from behind.

Xiao Wei'er's body trembled, and then she began to moan softly.
Changfeng Immortal Dynasty.

A palace.

Emperor Chang Ye sat in the palace with a domineering and ugly look. The immortals from Tianqi Sword Palace had been gone for some time, but they had not left the Ximing Territory. Emperor Chang Ye once offered to help the immortals, but was rejected.

Emperor Chang Ye was not interested in what the envoy of Tianqi Sword Palace was going to do. Since his level and rank were not high enough, he would naturally not participate.

Now, he was digesting the intelligence he had gathered over the past few days, intelligence about his opponents.

Although the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty has surrendered to the Tianqi Sword Palace, the Tianqi Sword Palace will not help it fight for hegemony, but will only provide shelter.

Therefore, the unification has to be done by Emperor Chang Ye himself.

A cultivator who looked like a civil servant said, "Emperor, the current plan is to prevent Duanhai Sect and Heling Sect from being on the same page, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous to us."

Another monk who looked like a military commander said, "The Ice Abyss Phoenix was actually taken away by the Crane Spirit Sect. This Li family is really useless!"

Then he added: "Emperor, everything has been checked out. The Heling Sect and the Li family were not acting. The Li family was really destroyed."

The monk who looked like a civil servant suddenly said, "Emperor, I would like to go on a diplomatic mission to the Duanhai Sect."

Emperor Chang Ye raised his narrowed eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Wen Qing, the Heling Sect has the Bingyuan Phoenix, and the Duanhai Sect dare not make a move. Do you want me to promise to take action?"

The civil servant known as "Wen Qing" shook his head and said, "I don't need the emperor's promise."

"Oh?" Emperor Chang Ye said, "Why would the Duan Hai Sect take action?"

Wen Qing said: "Just as the Li family was wiped out by the Heling Sect and the Duanhai Sect, the Heling Sect will fight the Duanhai Sect in the same way. As long as you, the Emperor, are in seclusion, and will be in seclusion for a long time, the strong party will find a way to swallow up the weak party, and the weak party will be wary of the strong party. The mission to the Duanhai Sect that I mentioned does not mean to meet the leader directly, but to wait for the right time to meet him."

The general next to him asked curiously, "What's the timing?"

Wen Qing said: "The Duanhai Sect is located on the vast sea, with abundant water. Based on this formation, it is difficult for the Heling Sect to enter. Therefore, I plan to secretly send a 'Water Avoidance Bead' to the Heling Sect through the Wild Market. With this magical bead, the Heling Sect will have the conditions for invasion and can enter the Duanhai Sect without anyone noticing."

The general asked, "Then you will wait until the Heling Sect attacks before sending an envoy to the Duanhai Sect?"

Wen Qing said: "No."

The general asked in confusion: "So what are you going to do?"

Wen Qing said: "The Duanhai Sect usually acts arrogantly, and there are many grudges among them. I plan to use a grudge as an excuse to attack the Duanhai Sect. First, I will injure one of its elders and kill some of its disciples. In this way, I can weaken the Duanhai Sect and help the Heling Sect strengthen its determination to take action."

The general looked at him in astonishment and said, "You are really vicious."

Emperor Chang Ye closed his eyes slightly, reviewed the situation and said, "Wen Qing, then I'll do as you say."

Next year
A dark blue bead containing great power appeared in Hua Xianggu's hand.

She looked at the bead with excitement.

The power hidden in the pearl is the nemesis of all water mysteries.

Today, the "Five Elements" and the "Six Paths" are intertwined, giving birth to many strange powers, but "Shui Xuan" is still a category with a large number.

Just then, Hua Xianggu heard footsteps.

She turned around and called out, "Lao Li, Lao Li!"

Song Yan walked forward quickly, followed closely by Xiao Lingdang.

Hua Xiang Gu held up the "Water-avoiding Boundary Pearl" and said, "Old Li, my people bought it from the nearby market. With this pearl, plus your incarnation in the Duanhai Sect, it will be a piece of cake for us to invade the Duanhai Sect." Song Yan raised his hand.

Hua Xianggu raised her hand slightly, and the "Water-avoiding Boundary Bead" flew down.

Song Yan sensed for a moment and felt deeply the power of this treasure: any spells and formations involving the water level and realm level and below can be weakened by this treasure, or even completely avoided.

Hua Xianggu asked, "Old Li, how is it?"

Song Yan said: "What a coincidence."

Hua Xianggu smiled and said, "Changfeng Immortal Dynasty, right?"

Song Yan nodded.

Hua Xianggu smiled slyly, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "We can take advantage of the situation. Changfeng Xianchao wants us to cause chaos, just to make the best of it. But he doesn't know that what we want is chaos.

Hehehe, when the time comes, we will first let the living people of Heling Sect fight with the living people of Duanhai Sect, and then wait for Changfeng Immortal Dynasty to take advantage of the situation and fight again.
Chaos, chaos! This situation is the best!
Hehehe, hehehe~~"

She smiled rather smugly.

But suddenly, her laughter stopped, and she asked in surprise: "Huh? Lao Li, why aren't you laughing?"

Song Yan said: “Sister Xianggu, now, I control eight avatars in the Xuanhuang realm, He Wuya, Chen Yuanzi, Haisha Demon Lord, Lu Jueyun, Elder Huang, General Ruimu, and two elders of Duanhai Sect.

In addition to the original ghost cultivators, there are actually only fifteen Xuanhuang first-level cultivators you have recently obtained from the Heling Sect. The rest are all original members of the Li family and cultivators who died in battle with the Li family. These people were originally regarded as dead.

Therefore, although we have completely controlled the top leaders of the Heling Sect, the number of people we control is actually not that large."

Hua Xianggu asked, "Old Li, what do you mean?"

Song Yan said: "Don't respond, and don't take advantage of the situation."

Hua Xiang Gu was stunned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Song Yan said: "Do nothing."

Hua Xiang Gu frowned and said, "Before, He Wuya and Li Shanhai, together with the Bingyuan Phoenix, were able to snipe the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty. Now it's our turn. We are still in the dark, so there is no need to be so cautious, right?
"Old Li, I know you're worried that we'll be careless, but Changfeng Immortal Dynasty has sent us this precious pearl, and their intention to drive the tiger to devour the wolf is obvious. If they really knew that we were ghost cultivators, they wouldn't do this. Isn't this a perfect opportunity for us?"

Song Yan said: "If there is no third party involved, this is an opportunity."

Then, he said calmly: "During this period of time, I have been secretly investigating where the empty boat of Tianqi Sword Palace has gone. But I haven't found it yet."

Hua Xianggu understood and sneered, "Tianqi Sword Palace is a huge organization, even if they sent people to Rusty Sword Blood Abyss, it can't be for us.

Besides, the people they sent here are not necessarily great masters, and if we are really forced into a corner, we can directly send them to the Demon Mountain Star Region.

I heard that there are many evil demons hidden in the depths of the Demon Mountain Star Region. In addition, the Qingming Chamber of Commerce can produce so many Yin Qi crystals. This is enough to prove that our ghost cultivators are organized. Let's see who is afraid of whom then.

Good and evil cannot coexist, those sword cultivators want to get rid of us as soon as possible, so we will certainly not let them have it easy. "

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Old Li, are you scared?"

Xiao Lingdang saw her raising her eyebrows and looking directly at Song Yan, feeling a little unhappy, thinking that this female cultivator was seducing her man.

Song Yan said: "Sister Xianggu, I'm scared."

Hua Xianggu was stunned.

Song Yan said: "Listen to me, wait until you know for sure whether there is a third party involved in the Western Underworld before making a decision."

Hua Xianggu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are my good friend. I will listen to you, but I will send someone out to investigate the news together. You can't stop me, right?"

Song Yan said: "I was just about to stop him."

Xiao Lingdang looked at Song Yan in surprise and said, "My dear, you are not being cautious at all."

Song Yan said: "No one is allowed to move, hide, if something unexpected happens, sacrifice the small to save the big.

It doesn’t matter how many little ghost cultivators die, as long as Sister Xianggu, Brother Hanshan, I, Xiaolingdang, Xiaoweier, and Xiaobing are safe. "

Although Hua Xianggu regarded him as a good friend, this was too outrageous. It was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of the opponent's strategy, so why... She immediately started to argue.

Song Yan had no basis for his argument, but he just wanted to suppress it.

The two talked for a long time, and Hua Xianggu acted as if he was tired and said, "Okay, okay, Lao Li, I give in. I'll listen to you."

After saying this, she waved her pink gauze sleeves wildly and angrily.

Clap clap clap!

The coffins on the entire Skeleton Mountain closed one after another, locking the ghost cultivators inside.

Hua Xianggu said sternly: "Without Lao Li's approval, none of you are allowed to leave here!!!"

After saying that, she snorted coldly, then found a coffin and got in. The coffin lid slowly closed, and when it became as thick as a finger, she glanced at Song Yan outside and said, "Old Li, I'll wait for you to wake me up! Are you satisfied?

Xiao Hanshan is back too, and he will also be put into a coffin!
You put this secret realm into the Qi box and carry it with you. If you don't call us, we won't come out. Are you satisfied? Satisfied? !"

Song Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Sister Xianggu. I will treat you to a good meal after I get out of the coffin."

Snapped!
The coffin is closed.

A month later.
Xiao Hanshan also came back. He looked at Song Yan who was guarding the border, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Li, your sister Xianggu and I both trust you extremely, but this time I also think you are too cautious. Oh, forget it, it's better to be safe than sorry, I'll just listen to you. I've been squatting every day these days, so it's a good time to go back to the coffin to rest. You've worked hard outside."

Snapped!
Xiao Hanshan's coffin was also closed.

Song Yan left the secret realm, took out the Qi box, and put the secret realm into it.

In this way, he had a secret realm full of ghost cultivators, and his dream of "carrying a secret realm with you" many, many years ago was finally realized.

In the future, if he kills an enemy, he can throw him into this secret realm and transform into a ghost cultivator, but the prerequisite is that he must also get enough Yin Qi crystals.

After doing all this, he put the secret realm he used to live in into the Qi Box, and then, except for He Wuya who stayed in the sect, he put the remaining three people into the secret realm.
Afterwards, he went to the vicinity of Duanhai Sect and put the three people except Haisha Demon Lord into the secret realm.

After doing all this, he turned all the way to a remote place, found an abandoned secret realm and went into it, sealed the Qi Box underground, and then he also went into the secret realm, and brought his two beauties with him to practice and play games in the world.

He didn't know whether Tianqi Sword Palace had come or not, but once he sensed any movement, he would hide deep under the earth and would not come out until the truth was revealed and the dust settled.

In the mortal world, he worked as a hunter, calling himself Shi Huangzi. He hunted ferocious beasts and made lifelike shadow puppets. Within a few years, he was named the "Fifth Wonder" by the common people. The other "Four Wonders" were "the best in chess, painting, playing the musical instrument, and poetry."

At first, the four masters who were good at writing were disdainful of associating with a hunter like him, but after seeing his shadow puppets, they were all amazed and acquiesced. Some even became friends with Song Yan after getting drunk.

Song Yan was playing and having fun in the world, feeling very comfortable.

brush!
Bang! !

Changfeng Xianchao Wenqing launched a sneak attack, and the elder of Duanhai Sect was seriously injured and fled in disgrace.

Yun Ming and the other person from Tianqi Sword Palace searched back and forth in the Western Netherworld. They did not find Song Yan's whereabouts in the Rusty Sword and Blood Abyss. This was not surprising considering the information they had previously obtained that "the real Song Yan could change his body."

But the place for cultivation near the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss is the Western Netherworld. Song Yan's strength is only at the Xuanhuang realm. If he came here, there would definitely be no clues at all.

They are looking.

fifty years later
In the mortal world, in the restaurant.

"Brother Shi, come and have a drink."

"Hahaha, Brother Li, drink!"

"When I was young, I used my sword to search for immortals, but I got nothing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been gray-haired now. Hahahaha." The scholar with white hair and beard laughed heartily. There was no sense of loneliness in his voice, but he immediately swept away the loneliness and raised his glass, saying, "Cheers!"

This person is none other than Li Zhaoye, the poet of the "Five Quatrains", and also the ordinary person whom Song Yan watched climbing the mountain to seek immortality in the past.

Li Zhaoye got up after getting drunk and murmured, "White hair facing green cup, we met in a wine shop in spring. In the past we rode together, but today we are both weeping. Years have aged me in the cup, and the wind and frost are real on my temples. When I get drunk and sing old songs, I am still young. Brother Shi, you and I are still young."

Song Yan's hair has aged over time, and he is reliving his life. At this time, he said, "Brother Li, you are so heroic. Come on, drink!"

The two of them toasted each other.

Song Yan felt quite comfortable in this world.

the other side.

"Impossible, why hasn't the Heling Sect attacked the Duanhai Sect even after all this? Your Majesty, this can't be possible and doesn't make sense." Wen Qing muttered in astonishment.

The monk who looked like a military general beside him burst into laughter.

Emperor Chang Ye said: "My old injuries have almost recovered, it's time to take action. Wen Qing, I appreciate your plan, but don't make it so complicated next time."

The general mocked: "You even lost the Sea Avoidance Bead."

Wen Qing said: "I will take it back myself!"

On the other side.
The two monks Yun Ming from Tianqi Sword Palace had been exploring the Western Netherworld for fifty years and had never found anything unusual. One day, when they were walking to a place, they suddenly felt their minds move and frowned.

"What a strong yin energy!"

"Not only the Yin Qi, but also the ghost cultivators!"

The divine consciousness explored again, pursuing and exploring, and finally settled on one place.

The man in the white sword robe was named Yun Linzi. He frowned slightly. On the plaque where he stood, there were four big words floating on it - Qingming Chamber of Commerce.

And the huge interstellar cargo ship is slowly falling into it.
