Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

The safety of others was not a big deal, but what happened to Qingyou? Why did she stay in the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan for twenty years and even had a big fight with Yingqiu?

Moreover, the information that only attacks demons but not human cultivators is also very strange. Although Qingyou has a calm mind and does not like killing, she is not afraid of killing either. She will kill when necessary. How could she become like this?

By the way, Yingqiu is also a human cultivator, why would she attack Yingqiu?

Wait, Star-Moon Sea?

Why would Yingqiu go to the Xingyue Sea in the eastern part of the Northern Territory for no reason? That was the base camp of the Thirteen Hidden Clans, where countless powerful cultivators from the Thirteen Hidden Clans gathered.

Yin You's mind was filled with thoughts, and countless ideas flashed through his mind quickly.

Time passes quietly.

At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a ray of divine light suddenly pierced the darkness in the room.

Could it be that something unexpected happened to Qingyou when he was serving as the Sword Hunter, and he was trapped in the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan, and for some reason he was controlled by the Thirteen Hidden Clans and could only fight for them?

And that strange restriction of only killing demons and not humans was set by her herself, just to avoid pointing the sword at human monks?

In this case, Yingqiu must have noticed her abnormality, so she came to Xingyue Sea. As a result, Qingyou, for some unknown reason, had a big fight with her, but the two of them were evenly matched, and in the end Yingqiu had to leave alone.

Various speculations flashed through Yin You's mind, and he vaguely felt that his speculations were close to the truth.

At this time, Tian Zhen suddenly appeared in front of Yin You. She put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and her dull eyes seemed to be observing Yin You's face carefully.

Yin You was thinking about Xue Qingyou and ignored her.

Looking at this slightly gloomy and serious face, Tian Zhen suddenly stretched out his hands, pinched both corners of Yin You's mouth, and gently forced a smile.

Facing Yin You who was looking at him doubtfully, Tian Zhen smiled slightly:

"Smile more. It's not a good thing for a child to be frowning all the time."

Chapter 178 Holy Demon Stone Seal

Yin You pushed open the door and walked out of the house, just in time to see Wu Bai leaning against the wall.

Wu Bai just happened to turn his head and look at Yin You, and said with a smile: "Yin... Oh, no, I should call you Fellow Daoist Ao Yin. Please stay in the palace for a few days first. After the Supreme Elders make a decision, I will tell you the result as soon as possible."

Yin You nodded slightly at him: "Thank you for the trouble."

In this way, Yin You settled down in a palace in the Tianyun Palace.

In the next few days, Yin You stayed at home and rarely went out. Apart from meditating and practicing, he would occasionally go to the library in Tianyun Palace to read some books he had not read before.

Just three days passed, and Tianyun National Master Wu Bai finally showed up and brought Yin You the results of the discussion among the leaders and supreme elders of the top sects in the Southern Region on the assassination of the Demon Lord.

"I heard from Elder Pu that there are very few people participating in this meeting. There are less than 20 people, and at least they are all great elders from the four top sects."

Wu Bai relayed to Yin You: "After many discussions among the adults, a total of eight votes passed Fellow Daoist Ao Yin's plan, six votes were against, and the remaining cultivators all abstained."

After that, Wu Bai bowed to Yin You and congratulated him with a smile, "Finally, the leader of the Southern Region Taoist Alliance, Master Feng Lan, made the final decision. Daoist friend's plan has been approved!"

Yin You smiled and then asked, "Who are the two Tenth Realm cultivators who are participating in this plan?"

Wu Bai smiled and shook his head when he heard this. Under Yin You's puzzled gaze, he held up three fingers and said, "No, they are three Tenth Realm cultivators."

"Oh?" Yin You was slightly surprised.

Wu Bai did not keep the secret and said directly: "Master Feng Lan said that since we have decided to assassinate the Demon Lord, we cannot be stingy or have a fluke mentality, so he sent three Tenth Realm cultivators to help you."

"These three people are Lord Diwuyi from Qinghong Temple, Master Gousheng from Guiyi Temple, and Lord Huangfumen from Juling Temple."

"In addition, there are more than ten ninth-level cultivators accompanying them. They will arrive at Tianyun Imperial Capital tomorrow morning."

After listening to this, Yin You couldn't help but sigh at the courage of Feng Lan Zhenren: "With this help, our chances of winning will increase by 3 points."

……

In the central area of ​​the Southern Region, there is a giant mountain range that rises from the ground and stretches for tens of thousands of miles, standing across the vast land and dividing the north and the south. It is regarded as a miracle by the cultivators of the Southern Region and is called the Five Elements Mountain Range.

At this time in the Wuyun Mountains, a group of demonic figures with strange auras stood on a towering mountain top, overlooking the surroundings.

"Are you sure that the aura of the Holy Demon Stone Seal has really appeared here?"

In this deadly silent atmosphere, a man in black, who was standing at the front of the group of demons and squinting at the distant sky, spoke.

The man in black looked ordinary, just like an ordinary mortal. There was not a trace of demonic aura on his body. He seemed out of place when standing next to the powerful demons around him.

His tone was also quite flat, without any emotional ups and downs.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a purple-skinned demon with a single horn on his head immediately spoke up: "My Lord, half a month ago, when I was chasing a human cultivator and happened to pass by this place, the sensor token on my body did change."

"It's just that I was eager to chase and kill the seriously injured human cultivator, and I didn't notice the change in the token on my body. After I successfully killed the human cultivator, I realized this and immediately rushed back here."

"When I returned here, the sensor token on my body fell silent for some reason. Just then, the human race's pursuers arrived. After thinking about it, I left here and immediately reported the news to the king."

The aura of this purple-skinned demon is extremely powerful, with purple flames surrounding his body, burning the void all the time. It is obvious that he is a tenth-level demon, which is what the demon world calls a demon general.

But when facing the man in black, the purple-skinned demon bent down, lowered his head, and spoke in an extremely respectful tone.

The man in black, Hou Fan, the demon lord who controls the entire southern demon force, heard this and glanced at the purple-skinned demon next to him with a calm look:

"Are all your words true?"

Just a normal look and the purple-skinned demon, who was a demon general, trembled unconsciously, causing the purple flames surrounding his body to tremble slightly, showing his inner uneasiness and fear at the moment.

The purple-skinned demon bent even further, and said quickly and clearly: "My Lord, every word I say is true, not a single word is made up."

As he spoke, he took out a grayish-white token from his waist, held the token in both hands, and raised it respectfully in front of him.

Without seeing Hou Fan making any move, the token was in his hands.

His divine sense probed into it and sensed it carefully. A strange color flashed in Hou Fan's eyes: "Sure enough, there is the aura of the Holy Demon Stone Seal."

Hou Fan believed the words of the purple-skinned demon. After all, the token in his hand was an eighth-level magic weapon refined by a powerful figure in the demon world using countless precious treasures from heaven and earth.

It has only one purpose, and that is to sense whether there is a Holy Demon Stone Seal within a thousand miles.

"Holy Demon Stone Seal..."

Thinking of this thing, a hint of heat flashed across Hou Fan's face.

The Holy Demon Stone Seal is one of the three greatest treasures in the demon world, and is as famous as the Holy Demon Crown. It's a pity that it was shattered into several pieces in a battle when the monks of the Five Realms invaded the demon world a hundred years ago, and its whereabouts are unknown.

Among them, the demon had three fragments of the Holy Demon Stone Seal in his hand, which were all the fragments of the Holy Demon Stone Seal that could be found in the demon world.

It was not until twenty years ago that they recovered a fragment of the Holy Demon Stone Seal from the Chi Lian Secret Treasure of the Chi Lian Academy in the Northern Territory.

The demon general who had been plotting behind the scenes to take back the fragment of the Holy Demon Stone Seal also became the first being to be named Demon Lord by the Demon King's Court, in charge of the entire demon forces in the Northern Territory.

That is the base camp for the demon world to invade the five realms.

Thinking of this, Hou Fan felt a trace of envy in his heart. He thought that he had worked hard for nearly a hundred years to set up this chess game covering the entire southern region, and was thus named the Demon Lord.

However, the demon who was usually unknown and nicknamed the weakest demon general became the first demon lord with the help of a fragment of the Holy Demon Stone Seal and was highly regarded by the Demon Lord and the Imperial Master.

Of course, although Hou Fan envied the other party, he also admired him. After all, that demon was only behind the scenes, which allowed another demon general to willingly go deep into the Chilian Academy to steal back the fragments of the Holy Demon Stone Seal, offending this top sect in the Northern Territory and eventually dying as a result.

However, the demon took advantage of the situation and reaped the benefits. He obtained the fragment of the Holy Demon Stone Seal without any effort and used it to ascend to the throne of the Demon Lord.

The other party is definitely not simple.

Chapter 179 Five Elements Mountain Range

As he was thinking, Hou Fan suddenly smiled.

Although the opponent seized the initiative and won the first credit for launching the first battle in the five domains, he still had the opportunity to catch up.

"Half of the Southern Region has fallen into my hands now. The remaining human cultivators are barely surviving and have no chance of rising again. All I need to do next is to advance steadily and step by step. Within ten years, the entire Southern Region will be at my feet."

"By then, with this skill, I will be able to gain the trust of the Demon Lord and successfully take over all the demons in the five realms. After the two realms are completely integrated, I may be able to become another Demon Lord..."

Fan did not say the last sentence out loud, but just talked to himself.

"Yan Man,"

Hou Fan put away the token in his hand and said calmly: "Have you found out who was responsible for the annihilation of the 27th Army in the Liyun Mountain Range?"

The purple-skinned demon maintained the same action as before and replied respectfully: "My Lord, this person's name is Ao Yin, he is from Beixueling, and he is suspected to be a cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Realm."

"Aoyin, Beixueling..."

Hou Fan thought about it for a while and asked doubtfully, "Is this person from a foreign land?"

In his memory, there was no sect called Beixueling in the Southern Region, nor was there a ninth-level peak cultivator called Ao Yin.

"He is a monk from the Southern Region, but he is too reclusive and rarely travels outside."

Yan Mang continued, "Twenty years ago, the mysterious cultivator who killed Xuan Kui and saved Wu Bai in the Lieyun Mountains was this person."

Hou Fan narrowed his eyes slightly: "So that's how it is, this person is the cultivator who killed Xuan Kui."

His tone was calm and even contained a hint of a smile, as if he was extremely interested in this monk.

But Yan Wang, who was bending over, understood that this was a sign that the Great Lord was getting angry, and he also knew the reason why the Great Lord was angry.

The demon named Xuankui was a younger generation whom the Great Lord valued highly. Conquering the Tianyun Dynasty was originally part of the Great Lord's plan, but unfortunately something went wrong and not only did the plan fail, Xuankui also died.

Over the past twenty years, the prince has inquired about this matter many times, but the monk was too mysterious, and they have never found any clues to find out his true identity.

One can imagine what the prince felt when he learned the true identity of the mysterious monk.

"Where is he now?"

As expected, the Great Lord's voice rang in his ears. Yan Mang was prepared and immediately replied, "Still in the Tianyun Imperial Capital."

"Tianyun Imperial Capital?"

Hou Fan's face was cold: "Okay, let him enjoy himself for a few more days."

He put this matter aside for the time being and asked another question: "Have the human cultivators made any moves recently?"

"Reporting to His Majesty, those ninth and tenth realm monks have not made any major moves. It seems that they have given up the assassination plan."

The Flame Demon Way.

"This makes sense. After all, they must have known about my trip a long time ago. The tenth-level cultivators they can mobilize now are not enough to kill me. A hasty action will only result in a loss of life."

Hou Fan was not surprised to hear the news. After all, he did not deliberately hide his actions this time. He even publicized it with great fanfare in order to make those human cultivators in the Southern Region give up.

“Heh, but they wouldn’t have thought that I came here for the fragment of the Holy Demon Stone Seal this time,” Hou Fan said with deep eyes, “As long as I get the fragment of the Holy Demon Stone Seal back, I can use it to ask the Demon Lord for credit and get a few more demon generals.”

“By that time, I will be able to sweep across the Southern Region with absolute superiority, become its true master, and ascend to the top of the demon lords.”

He turned around and looked at the demon army crawling on the ground in front of him. His eyes were blazing and his voice echoed in the ears of every demon:

"You should disperse your actions from this place as the center and thoroughly check every blade of grass and every tree within a radius of ten thousand miles. If anyone can find the fragment of the Holy Demon Stone Seal, I will promote him to the commander-in-chief of the southern part of Tianmoli, and..."

Hou Fan paused, and under everyone's breathless gaze, he said:

"I will advise the Demon Lord to let him enter the Holy Demon Pond."

After a brief silence, a burst of noise resounded through the sky!

……

“Is this the Wuyun Mountains?”

After running for several days in a row, Yin You and his companions hid their bodies all the way, avoiding the sight of cultivators and demons, and finally arrived at the Wuyun Mountains.

Yin You looked at the towering mountains rising from the ground in the distance, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, this is the Wuyun Mountain Range that is regarded as a miracle."

Beside Yin You, an old man in a white robe with a kind face stroked his beard and spoke with a smile.

Don't be fooled by the ordinary appearance of this old man in white robe. He is actually an out-and-out cultivator of the Tenth Realm. He comes from a top sect in the Southern Region. He is extremely skilled in formations and is respected by the world as Master Gou Sheng.

In addition to this Taoist master Gou Sheng, there were two other cultivators standing beside Yin You.

One of the cultivators was a young man with a long sword on his back. He had a strong sword aura on his body. It was obvious that he was a cultivator of the tenth realm who specialized in swordsmanship. He was none other than Diwu Yi, the supreme elder of Qinghong Temple.

The other cultivator was a tall, muscular man named Huangfu Men, the supreme elder of the Giant Spirit Temple and an extremely pure physical cultivator.

Zhenren Gousheng, Diwuyi, and Huangfumen were the three tenth-level cultivators who were sent to work with Yin You.

In addition to the four of them, there were eighteen ninth-level cultivators following them, including Pu Yiyun, Sikong Peng and the other four supreme elders who had met Yin You before through their spiritual shadows.

Before Yin You and Gou Sheng could finish their small talk, the cold-looking Diwu Yi interrupted their conversation:
