Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

This was the first time that Yin You saw the city gate of Tianyun Imperial Capital. After all, the last time he came here, he used the teleportation platform to go directly into the city.

The city gate was heavily guarded, with many monks in armor standing there, carefully checking every mortal monk who wanted to enter the Tianyun Imperial Capital to ensure that there were no demons trying to take advantage of the situation and enter the city.

There were already hundreds of cultivators brought by Yin You and Yun Motan, and with the captives who had defected to the demon world, the number was even greater, so they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.

As they walked towards the city gate, a monk who was dressed differently from the gate guards but also wearing armor, saw Yun Motan and walked towards the crowd.

Passersby on the road retreated one after another. They all recognized the armor and realized that the other party was the palace guard.

"I greet Elder Yun Motian."

When he got closer, the monk clasped his fists and saluted.

Yun Motian nodded slightly. He obviously knew this armored monk: "Where is the Imperial Master?"

The monk was obviously well prepared, and immediately replied respectfully: "The Imperial Master has received the news and is now waiting in Tianxuan Palace. Elder, please follow me."

Hearing this, Yun Motian turned his head and looked at Yun Zhuo who was standing beside him: "Yun Zhuo, take these people back to the Dao League first, and come to the palace to find me after everything is arranged."

"Yes."

Yun Zhuo responded and led the others into the Tianyun Imperial Capital first.

Only Yin You, Yun Motian and the palace guard were left there.

"Let's go." Yun Motian said.

The palace guards took orders and took the two to the palace.

Chapter 174 Demon Lord

In a palace called "Tianxuan Palace" in the Tianyun Palace, a man in white with an elegant face turned around and looked at Yin You who had just entered the palace, and clasped his fists to him, signaling:

"I am Wu Bai, the Imperial Master of the Tianyun Dynasty. Nice to meet you, Daoist Fellow Yin You."

Yin You also clasped his fists towards him as a greeting, without much greeting, and went straight to the point of stating the purpose of his visit:

"I think the Imperial Master has already known the purpose of my visit from Elder Yun Motian. I wonder if the Imperial Master has made all the preparations?"

Wu Bai smiled when he heard this: "Several adults have arrived, please follow me."

After saying that, Wu Bai turned around and walked towards the depths of the hall.

Yin You didn't hesitate and followed him.

Walking through the corridor, Wu Bai brought Yin You to the door of a room at the deepest part and pushed it open.

There was no light in the room and it was pitch black. Of course, these did not affect Yin You's eyes. He could see that the room was ordinary and there was nothing special about it, and there were no cultivators present.

Wu Bai had been paying attention to Yin You's reactions. Seeing him standing beside him calmly, neither arrogant nor impatient, he couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart.

Wu Bai closed the door.

Then a strange scene appeared.

Suddenly, a faint light flashed in the originally dark room, and then four phantoms of divine thoughts appeared.

These four spiritual shadows, two men and two women, had a powerful and oppressive aura. After they appeared, they immediately set their sights on Yin You.

"Are you the disciple of Xuelingxu?"

A majestic man wearing armor and carrying a big sword on his back looked at Yin You with sharp eyes that seemed to pierce into his heart.

Yin You's expression remained unchanged. He knew that this was some kind of spiritual power leaving the body, and the true bodies of these people in front of him might be tens of thousands of miles away from him.

"Yin You from Xuelingxu, nice to meet the seniors." Yin You said with a fist salute.

"Ok?"

The majestic man who spoke earlier paused for a moment, as if he had not expected that he would be ignored by Yin You.

But soon his eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous aura, just when he was about to ask again.

A graceful and elegant woman smiled and said, "Yin You... Who is Yin Ci to you?"

Hearing the words of the elegant woman, the majestic man looked at the white-haired young man in front of him with some doubt.

Yin You nodded slightly: "It is my master."

The anger that had just risen in the majestic man's heart was completely extinguished, and even the words that were about to come to his lips were forced back by him.

"A hundred years ago, your master saved my life."

The elegant woman smiled even more broadly upon hearing this, and her tone became even more kind: "My name is Pu Yiyun, and I am the Grand Elder of Qinghong Temple."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other two spoke up:

"I am Qin Dongling, and I am the supreme elder of the Taoist temple."

"Jia Ze, the Grand Elder of Zhenyuan Sect."

Seeing that the three people had already spoken, the majestic man followed suit and said:

"Sikong Peng, the Grand Elder of the Giant Spirit Temple."

Qinghong Temple, Guiyi Daochang, Zhenyuan Sect, and Juling Holy Temple, these four are the top sects in the Southern Region.

After several people introduced themselves, Pu Yiyun said, "Yin You, do you want us to send cultivators to accompany you to the Northern Territory to fight against the demons?"

Long before Yin You arrived at the Tianyun Imperial Capital, Yun Motan had reported his plan to Wu Bai, who also passed it on to the four supreme elders from various sects, so the four people present already knew the purpose of Yin You's visit.

"The juniors are indeed here for this matter."

Yin You nodded and said, "The demon world is gradually encroaching on the five regions, with the northern region being the hardest hit. Although the other four regions are temporarily stable, if we don't take the initiative now and just sit back and watch the demon forces expand step by step, we will end up losing everything and no one will be spared."

"Wait, what did you say?"

While the other three cultivators were in deep thought, Sikong Peng spoke first, looking at Yin You with a serious look in his eyes: "The demon world is invading the five realms? Where did you get the news from?"

In the minds of all the cultivators in the Southern Region, no, or rather, in the minds of all the cultivators in the Five Regions, they all believed that this demon rebellion was just a continuation of the war a hundred years ago, and not a serious event concerning life and death such as the demon world invading the Five Regions.

That was why the cultivators from the five domains fought on their own and dragged on with the demons for a full twenty years. Of course, this was because the demons attacked suddenly and were very powerful, but it was also because of the cultivators from the five domains themselves, because they had always believed that this was just a continuation of the demon war a hundred years ago. As long as they could maintain a stalemate with the demons, one day the demons would be the first to collapse and be defeated.

Yin You had guessed their thoughts to some extent before, so he was not surprised when he heard Sikong Peng's words. Instead, he patiently explained:

"This was told to me personally by the Demon Emperor Master Si Lou..."

Yin You told him everything Si Lou had told him about the fusion of the two worlds at Xuanyue Lake.

The four powerful supreme elders were silent now, but their expressions became visibly serious.

There was silence for a while.

Qin Dongling from the Guiyi Taoist Temple broke the silence: "If it is really as you said, then this war is indeed not simple, and it concerns the survival of the five regions, but..."

At this time, Jia Ze from the Zhen Yuan Sect took over and said, "It's just that our Southern Region is in trouble, so I'm afraid it's difficult to send cultivators to accompany you on your expedition to the Northern Region."

Yin You's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked, "What is the situation in the Southern Region now?"

Sikong Peng said: "The situation is very bad. It can be said that we are being beaten back step by step by the demons."

After a pause, he continued, "The demon force in the southern region is called 'Tianmo Li Nanbu', led by a demon lord named 'Hou Fan', who has five demon generals and 72 demon armies under him."

"Now these demons have occupied almost all areas south of the central part of the Southern Region, and there is a tendency for them to infiltrate the north."

Yin You was slightly stunned, then looked at them with some suspicion: "The demon... is so powerful?"

According to his guess, the demon world should place its main force in the Northern Territory, while the other four regions only need to send out demons who can delay the pace of human cultivators and prevent them from having the energy to send troops to support the Northern Territory.

"Cough cough cough..."

The four great elders could not help but dodge when they saw Yin You's gaze. Pu Yiyun smiled bitterly and said:

"You should also know that most of our Southern Region cultivators like to practice in seclusion. Almost all of them practice in the sect and rarely go out into the world."

"Because of this, we were caught off guard by the demons. By the time we reacted, the demons had already occupied most of the southern region. The remaining half of the territory was slowly taken back by us over the past twenty years..."

"Although the situation is slowly improving, a large part of the area south of the central region is deeply rooted by demons, and it is difficult to completely drive them out."

"The demon king Hou Fan is a very tricky person who is good at strategy. As long as he is in the South Region, we dare not act rashly."

Chapter 175: Because I am also a Tenth Realm Cultivator

"Hou Fan?"

After listening to Pu Yiyun's words, Yin You looked puzzled: "What is the title of this Demon Lord?"

Yin You knew that the demon world was not as populated as the human forces in the Five Realms, but was ruled by a force called the Demon King's Court.

The supreme ruler of the Demon King's Court is called the Demon Lord, also known as the Demon Lord. Below the Demon Lord is the Demon Imperial Master. Si Lou is this generation's Demon Imperial Master, and his status is second only to the emperor.

Under the Demon Emperor Master are the twenty-four demon generals. Each of them has at least the combat power of the tenth realm, which is comparable to the tenth realm ascension of human cultivators.

The Demon Lord, the Demon Imperial Master, and the Demon General, these three are almost the Demon Royal Court, that is, the demons with the greatest status, strength, and power in the entire demon world.

There is no such title as Demon Lord.

But Yin You heard from Sikong Peng and Pu Yiyun that the demon forces in the southern region seemed to be led by a demon lord named Hou Fan, and even the five demon generals had to submit to him and listen to his commands.

This made him wonder, could it be that some changes have taken place in the demon world in the past twenty years?

Pu Yiyun and the other four great elders from various sects were also stunned after hearing Yin You's words. Among them, Qin Dongling looked at Yin You with some doubts and asked:

"Don't you know about the existence of the Demon Lord?"

Yin You nodded slightly and said frankly: "I really don't know. May I ask the seniors, who is this demon king?"

Pu Yiyun blinked, as if he had thought of something, and then explained to Yin You with a smile:

"This Demon Lord was actually a title bestowed by the Demon Lord ten years ago as a reward to five Demon Generals with outstanding military achievements. The status of any Demon Lord is higher than that of a Demon General or Demon Imperial Master. They only obey the orders of the Demon Lord and can even meet the Demon Lord without bowing."

"The status of this demon king is so high?"

Yin You was a little surprised when he heard this: "These are already considered as the kings who rule one side, right? Could it be that the demon army in the five regions is led by five demon kings?"

Pu Yiyun nodded and said, "That's true. Each demon lord is responsible for the war in one region. The demon lord in charge of the war in the southern region is Hou Fan."

Yin You sighed, "What did he do to be named the Demon Lord by the Demon Lord?"

Sikong Peng said with a somewhat grim expression, "It was he who sent troops to attack the Southern Region. He was able to gain a firm foothold in just a few years and has been fighting against us until today."

"This demon may not be the most powerful among the ten realms of demons, but he is extremely treacherous and has a very deep understanding of people's hearts. He can often manipulate others without realizing it."

"We, the Southern Region sect, have joined forces many times to go deep into the demon zone to kill him, but each time we failed and let him escape death."

At this time, Jia Ze smiled bitterly and said, "This person is too weird, as if he has the ability to predict the future. Every time he slips out of your hand like a slippery loach."

Yin You pondered for a moment and slowly uttered a few words: "What if there is a traitor who reported the incident?"

"No way!"

Sikong Peng's eyes widened immediately after hearing this: "Every encirclement and suppression operation is kept strictly confidential. Only the supreme elders and sect masters of a few top sects and a few first-class sects know the inside story. There is absolutely no way that the news can be leaked out, and there is absolutely no possibility of a traitor existing!"

Sikong Peng reacted strongly, and was obviously very dissatisfied with Yin You's suspicion.

If Yin You had not been born in Xuelingxu and was a disciple of the extremely terrifying Northern Territory cultivator Yin Ci, Sikong Peng would have taught him a lesson long ago if it had been someone else.

Yin You did not argue with him. He thought for a moment and asked, "Who revealed the information about the Demon Lord to you?"

Several great elders hesitated after hearing this, and finally Pu Yiyun replied: "He is an undercover who was planted in the demons in the early years. He has some status and can know the whereabouts of the demon king."

Yin You asked again: "Has he revealed the location of the Demon Lord to you recently?"

Pu Yiyun and the others had already spoken, and without hesitation, they immediately said, "Yesterday a secret letter arrived, saying that in seven days, Hou Fan will personally go to a certain area in the central part of the Southern Region, accompanied by three demon generals and five demon armies, for unknown purposes."

"It was reported yesterday... that means there are still six days left."

Yin You's thoughts raced, and suddenly he blurted out:

"I will go with you in six days to kill Hou Fan."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Several of the great elders looked strange, and Sikong Peng couldn't help but say on the spot:

"absurd!"

In their opinion, even if Yin You destroyed an entire army of demons alone, his cultivation level was at best the middle to late stage of the ninth realm.

This level of cultivation is not weak, it can even be said to be very strong. After all, the four supreme elders present are only cultivators of this level.

But killing Hou Fan was extremely difficult. In every one of their previous actions, there would be at least three Tenth Realm cultivators leading the charge, followed by more than ten Ninth Realm cultivators. This kind of luxurious lineup could establish a top sect in any of the Five Domains.

The results of it?
