Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

After hearing all this, Xue Qingyou's eyes flickered.

She didn't expect that Zhan Qing had already passed on the news that she was in the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan to her uncle, and then she was attacked by demons and forced to hide her identity and live in exile for more than 20 years.

"Sorry..." she whispered.

Zhan Qing shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "It's not your fault, cousin. An Bing has been eyeing me for a long time. Even if I didn't go out that time, I would still fall into her trap later."

Even though she said so, Xue Qingyou still felt guilty.

Yin You looked at her helplessly, and in order to divert her attention, he brought the topic to Qin Muyun: "Junior Brother Qin, when did you come to Xingyue Sea, and also entered the Thirteen Hidden Clans with Daoist Fellow Zhan Qing."

In fact, before setting off, Yin You learned from Zhu Yingqiu that Qin Muyun was in the Star-Moon Sea, but he never expected that the other party was not only in the Star-Moon Sea, but also dared to go deep into the Mist Hidden Sea alone and enter the residence of the Thirteen Hidden Clans.

Qin Muyun naturally did not hide anything and told her frankly that she came to look for Xue Qingyou.

"In fact, in addition to looking for Junior Sister Qingyou, there is another reason,"

Qin Muyun gently stroked the long sword in his hand and suddenly sighed: "My sword practice has reached a bottleneck and I haven't made any breakthroughs in a long time."

Yin You looked at the long sword in her hand, with a thoughtful expression.

Xuan Su half leaned on a chair on the other side, looking at them with one hand on her chin, listening to the conversation between them. A hint of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, as if she remembered some past events.

At this moment, she raised her eyebrows, as if she sensed something:

"Little guys, someone is coming."

As she spoke she stood up and strolled to the bow of the boat.

After hearing Xuan Su's words, Yin You and others stood up and followed.

Xuan Su's eyes were as sharp as swords, and it seemed that the vast white fog in front of her eyes could not obscure her sight. After a while, she slowly said:

"It's a demon."

Upon hearing this, Yin You and the others' expressions instantly tensed up, and at the same time, they circulated their spiritual energy and prepared themselves for battle.

The spirit ship sailed safely for a while, and at a certain moment, everyone's vision changed drastically.

Formation.

Yin You thought about it and looked up to the front.

Two demons with deep auras stood not far in front of the spirit ship, looking at them with indifference.

Ten realms of demons.

The two demon generals did not deliberately conceal their aura, so Yin You could tell their level of cultivation at a glance.

In addition to these two demon generals, Yin You also sensed dozens of figures around him, all of whom were demons in the eighth and ninth realms.

"Human monk?"

The demon general could not see the scene inside the ship clearly because of the spiritual shield, but he still asked knowingly: "How dare you go deep into the Mist Hidden Sea? Are you monks from the Thirteen Hidden Clans?"

Before Yin You and the others could answer, he said to himself, "But it doesn't matter. Since you have run into us, no matter who you are, don't even think about leaving alive today."

As soon as he finished speaking, another demon general uttered a word in a grim tone: "Kill!"

As soon as these words came out.

The demons that had been accumulating strength for a long time suddenly took action, and countless powerful killing moves instantly flew towards the spirit ship where Yin You and others were.

Rumble…

A series of explosions were heard, and thick smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see the situation at the center of the explosion.

"do you died?"

The demon who spoke first stared at Tong Jun at the explosion range and asked his companion beside him.

The other demon general closed his eyes the moment the explosion sounded. At the same time, a hideous and terrifying deep vertical pupil suddenly opened on his forehead.

The vertical pupil turned slightly, and a faint light shot out from it, penetrating into the center of the explosion filled with thick smoke.

"hiss!!"

The next moment, the demon seemed to have seen some extremely horrifying scene. He let out a scream and the vertical pupils on his forehead closed tightly in an instant. Even so, blood still flowed out from the gaps, dyeing his entire face bloody.

Tong Jun was frightened by his companion's reaction, but before he could ask anything, the demon turned into a streak of light and fled away.

"???"

Tong Jun looked confused.

Chapter 272 Private Transaction

Bang!

Not long after the demon escaped, a streak of light suddenly fell from the sky, smashed into the water, and stirred up a column of water.

"That is……"

Tong Jun's face changed slightly.

An unconscious demon figure surfaced from the water. It was the demon general who had just tried to escape.

What kind of strength does it take to easily capture a demon general who was trying to escape?

The thick smoke gradually dissipated, revealing four unharmed black-robed figures inside, without even a trace of damage to their black robes.

Seeing this, Tong Jun was completely convinced that he had seriously underestimated these human cultivators who dared to break into the Thirteen Hidden Clans. Not to mention taking advantage of the situation to rob, just relying on their two demon generals, they were no match for these men in black robes.

A fatal situation!

Suddenly, scorching flames rushed up Tong Jun's body. He had no intention of escaping, and he knew he couldn't escape, so he simply flew towards Yin You and the others. He surprisingly chose to burn out the source of his life, and even wanted to take Yin You and the others with him.

In mid-air, the flames on his body grew more and more intense, and in the end, he was completely transformed into a fire man, with an extremely scorching and terrifying fire that even melted the void.

Xuan Su raised his palm towards Tong Yun, and the spiritual energy gathered and condensed in his palm:

"Sleepy."

call……

The fire man transformed by Tong Jun suddenly stopped, and his whole body was suppressed in the void. Even though he was burning the source of life madly, he still couldn't move forward.

"Explode." Xuan Su spoke again.

Since this demon general was determined to self-destruct, Xuan Su did not stop him, and even personally helped him speed up the process.

Tong Jun's face froze slightly, and he roared in his heart, but it was of no use. With an explosion, his whole body exploded, and not even a piece of debris was left.

boom……

Under Xuan Su's deliberate control, Tong Jun's self-explosion did not produce much impact, but only caused the sea surface to shake and waves to rise.

The other demons were terrified upon seeing this and surrendered one after another.

Even the demon generals had no hope of escape and were forced to self-destruct and die, let alone these demons in the eighth and ninth realms.

But facing these monsters, Xuan Su's expression beneath the hood was calm, without the slightest change.

She turned her palm over and clenched it gently.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

These surrendered demons began to explode one after another. No matter how they resisted, it was futile. Soon they all turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.

As for the demon general who had initially wanted to escape and was now unconscious on the sea, Xuan Su raised his hand and blasted his body into pieces, then captured his soul from a distance and began to search its memories.

Such a simple and crude, yet smooth operation stunned Xue Qingyou, Qin Muyun and Zhan Qing.

They all knew how terrifying the strength of this senior was. After all, she had just easily suppressed three of the Tenth Realm Powerful Beings from the Thirteen Hidden Clans by herself.

But it was too powerful to kill two demons with the power of the tenth realm so easily! It was even more terrifying than the record of suppressing the three tenth realms just now.

After all, although there is only one word difference between "killing" and "suppressing", their meanings are completely different, representing the huge gap in strength between the two sides!

Could it be that this senior was hiding his abilities just now?

The three girls were secretly shocked when they thought of this.

Yin You could still accept this.

After all, he had long known that the true strength of this Uncle Master Xuan Su was extremely terrifying, and was definitely not inferior to his master and Uncle Master Ao. Otherwise, he would not have been able to play with the two religions and three sects in Zhongzhou at his fingertips.

"You guessed right,"

After Xuan Su absorbed the memory of the soul in his hand, he gently exerted force and crushed the soul into pieces: "The Thirteen Hidden Clan did have a private transaction with the demons."

She frowned slightly. "This demon general's soul defense is very strong. I can only find some of his memories, including the transaction between the Thirteen Hidden Clan and the demon."

"The demons reached some kind of deal with the Thirteen Hidden Tribes in exchange for their tribe's most precious treasure, the 'Demon Holy Water'. However... I didn't find the specific content of the deal."

"Holy Water of the Heavenly Demon?" Qin Muyun murmured. He was quite unfamiliar with this word.

"That is the liquid obtained from the Demon Holy Pond, the most precious treasure of demons. It is a great tonic for demons. It can not only refine the purity of their blood, but also improve their spirit, physique, and talent..."

Yin You explained that he had heard all this from Tian Zhen, the royal demon.

Xuan Su nodded gently: "In addition to this, the Heavenly Demon Holy Water has another function, which is... to transform humans into demons!"

After these words were spoken, Xue Qingyou and Qin Muyun's expressions changed slightly.

Zhan Qing was shocked at first, then gradually became disappointed.

The moment she heard Xuan Su say that the Thirteen Hidden Clans had a private transaction with the demons, she was convinced that her speculation over the years was correct.

The Thirteen Hidden Clans... have definitely rebelled against the human race and secretly defected to the demon world!

No wonder An Bing from the Guiming Hidden Clan could bring so many demons to surround and kill her, no wonder her cousin Xue Qingyou's parents died unexpectedly at the hands of demons, no wonder...

For a moment, countless speculations flooded into Zhan Qing's mind, making him dazed and unable to even hear what Yin You and the others were saying.

Thirteen hidden tribes, demons...

She didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it!

But in this case, does my father, who is the patriarch of the Zhanlang Hidden Clan, know about the transaction between the Thirteen Hidden Clan and the demons, or is he even involved in it?

"Hello? Daoist Zhan Qing?"

At this moment, a warm hand patted on his shoulder, bringing Zhan Qing back to reality from his fantasies.

She turned her head and saw Yin You looking at her with a gentle look in his eyes: "Are you okay?"

Zhan Qing shook his head gently: "I'm fine."

Yin You nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Suddenly he patted his head, as if he had just remembered something, and a look of realization appeared on his face:

"By the way, when my uncle and I entered the Thirteen Hidden Clans just now, we encountered the Zhanlang Hidden Clans blocking our way. The people leading the way were none other than the clan leader Zhan Qianlang and his wife Zhan Yexue. Are they the parents of Daoist Fellow Zhan Qing?"

Zhan Qing was startled at first, then nodded quickly and asked, "How are he...how are they?"

After witnessing the strength of Yin You and his terrifying uncle, even though he knew that Yin You was not a bloodthirsty person, Zhan Qing still couldn't help but worry about the safety of his parents.

After hearing what Zhan Qing said, Yin You couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Could it be that in Daoist Fellow Zhan Qing's mind, I am a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately?"

"No! That's not the case!"

Zhan Qing's face was full of apology and he waved his hands quickly.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing her reaction, Yin You suddenly smiled and said in a cheerful tone, "It was just a joke, Daoist Zhan Qing, don't take it seriously."

Zhan Qing naturally didn't care, and after Yin You's teasing, her originally slightly depressed mood miraculously improved.

Seeing that her mood had improved, Yin You continued, "Nothing happened to the two seniors. My uncle and I have never taken action against them."

After hearing these words, Zhan Qing finally felt relieved.

Although she suspected that her father might have been involved in the deal with the demon, she was still quite worried about their safety.

Chapter 273 Healing

Xuan Su glanced at the two of them, and seemed to have guessed Yin You's intention, and suddenly asked: "Oh? Are those two your parents?"
