Nine years ago.

"Husband, are we really going to settle down in this place?"

Walking on the streets of Baiwa City, a delicate-looking woman asked her husband beside her.

The man named Shen Sheng nodded: "Let's just stay in this place. This place is located at the border between the Wu Kingdom and a small demon kingdom in the Southern Border. It belongs to a city without an owner and is not governed by anyone. Here, you can also avoid Qiongman from being hunted down."

The woman named Zhao Qiongman lowered her head gently, her expression full of guilt: "Husband, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me..."

"Don't mention this kind of thing again."

Shen Sheng interrupted Zhao Qiongman's words, "In short, now that we have come to a new place, let's live a good life together."

"Yes."

Zhao Qiongman agreed, "I will listen to my husband in everything."

Shen Sheng held his wife's hand even harder: "Don't worry, now that we have come to this place, we can live in peace. No one can find us."

Zhao Qiongman nodded heavily.

Shen Sheng found a broker and bought a courtyard in Baiwa City that was enough for two or three people to live in.

After having their own small house and no longer needing to drift around without roots, Zhao Qiongman's heart gradually settled down.

Zhao Qiongman followed her husband in Baiwa City to purchase the things needed for life.

Every time she bought something, Zhao Qiongman felt more and more attached to this courtyard.

After settling down, Zhao Qiongman lived in Baiwa City with her husband. In addition to cultivation, Zhao Qiongman and her husband would also hunt some magical beasts in the surrounding area to sell.

Or they would take on some bounty missions in Baiwa City.

For a cultivator, earning some daily living expenses is simply too easy.

Zhao Qiongman and Shen Sheng only needed to do one or two tasks, and they wouldn't have to worry about expenses for two or three months.

Although Baiwa City is a city without an owner, the order in Baiwa City has reached a certain balance. Generally, gangs in the city are in charge of things, and each gang has its own territory.

Some of these gangs are human, and some are demon.

The human gangs and the demon gangs are very at odds, but this is normal.

However, human gangs will have demon cultivators, and demon cultivators will also have humans.

Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman were both at a high level, and these gangs respected Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman very much. Not only did they not provoke them, but these gangs would often send Zhao Qiongman and Shen Sheng some things, wanting to absorb them into their own forces.

However, Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman did not join any gang and would not cause trouble for themselves.

As time passed, Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman lived a stable life, as if they had forgotten the previous escape.

Zhao Qiongman's hanging heart was also completely stabilized.

A lizard demon clan next door to Shen Sheng and his wife also laid a nest of lizard eggs.

Zhao Qiongman even helped with the delivery.

The lizard's names were rather casual. The first one to hatch was called Lizard Big Brother, and the second one to hatch was called Lizard Second Brother.

In Baiwa City, the harmony between humans and demons has reached an unbelievable level.

But one day, Shen Sheng and his wife discovered that Baiwa City was a little strange.

The flow of spiritual power in the city was different from that outside the city, and white light often flashed from Baiwa City. The scorching sun above the sky was very large, as if it was about to fall from the sky.

At night, the bright moon turned into a blood moon, and the demons in the city could not maintain their human form at all.

When Shen Sheng and his wife realized that this might be the birth of a rare treasure, Baiwa City had already formed a magic circle on its own, and Shen Sheng and his wife had no way to escape.

Shen Sheng and his wife could only settle down and look for a way out.

A rare treasure that can form its own barrier is not simple, and it is very likely to be something that even cultivators above the fifth realm covet.

Although Shen Sheng and his wife wanted to settle down here.

But before long, the major forces would discover that there was a rare treasure in this place, and all kinds of people would come. This place would be coveted by the major forces.

At that time, this place would become very uneasy.

Even enemies may come to their door.

Although they were very unwilling, they also knew that they had to leave here.

In addition, the white lights falling from the sky caused the cultivators in the city to disappear constantly.

Shen Sheng and his wife did not know where the disappearing cultivators had gone, whether they had returned to the outside world, or whether they had died and turned into nourishment for Baiwa City.

This unknown also gave Shen Sheng and his wife a reason to leave.

"Do you think we can wait until the red moon of the full moon?"

This night, Zhao Qiongman finally completed the magic circle. Zhao Qiongman leaned on her husband's shoulder, exhausted, and looked at the night sky.

The night sky was dotted with stars, scattered all over, as beautiful as a painting.

Zhao Qiongman sometimes thought that it would be great if Baiwa City became a small secret realm on its own and would not be discovered by others, then she could stay here with her husband forever.

"Who knows?"

Shen Sheng put his arm around his wife's shoulder and smiled, "Maybe we will disappear tomorrow, it's not impossible."

"Then do you think anyone will find the things we left behind after we disappear? Will the things we left behind help others?" Zhao Qiongman asked.

"Who knows?"

Shen Sheng's heart was also very uncertain, "This kind of thing still depends on fate. There are many tombs and relics of great powers that have not been discovered for thousands of years."

"Indeed, it still depends on fate."

Zhao Qiongman turned her head and looked at her husband with a smile, "Just like our encounter, it is my greatest fate and my greatest luck."

Shen Sheng kissed his wife's forehead: "Me too."

After Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman had done everything they could do, they returned to their usual life.

They were waiting.

And the most difficult thing for a person is to learn to wait.

However, during this free time, Zhao Qiongman, according to the laws of this Baiwa City secret realm, used her life's learning to extract a section of Dao Yun law, and then condensed it into a drop of rain.

Zhao Qiongman didn't know what this thing she made was for, maybe she just wanted to make a souvenir.

Until one day, the blood moon did not come, but the white light came.

The white light descended on Shen Sheng, but Zhao Qiongman hugged Shen Sheng very calmly.

The two of them waited peacefully for the arrival of the unknown.

Under the illumination of the white light, the two of them only felt that their divine consciousness was very恍惚, and their minds were blank. This feeling was very strange, as if they had been knocked unconscious, but they could still feel their existence.

The white light ended, and when Zhao Qiongman and his wife came back to their senses, they found that they had actually arrived outside.

However, Zhao Qiongman and his wife didn't have time to be happy when they saw dozens of cultivators in black robes beside them.

The aura exuded by these cultivators was very strange, like humans, but not like humans...

However, judging from the spiritual power exuded by the leader, he was actually in the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Who are you?"

Shen Sheng and his wife drew out their long swords.

"We are the Black God Sect."

The leading man stepped forward, then waved his hand to his subordinates, "Don't waste it, capture them!"

"Yes!"

One by one, the Black God Sect disciples gradually approached, like brainwashed puppets.

Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman fought while trying to escape.

But the two of them ultimately failed.

Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman were surrounded, unable to escape with all their strength.

"Your formation is quite good."

The leading black-robed man stepped forward, "Looking at your use and understanding of formations, are you a disciple of the Heavenly Formation Sect?"

Zhao Qiongman pursed her lips tightly, without saying a word.

The black-robed man stared at Zhao Qiong: "I admire you disciples of the Heavenly Formation Sect very much. Our leader often praises your Heavenly Formation Sect's Sect Leader as an unparalleled genius. Coincidentally, I need a formation master here. If you work for me, I will give you enough benefits, how about it?"

"Dream on!"

Shen Sheng protected his wife in front of him, staring at the man in front of him, "Don't even think about making us work for you!"

The leader of the Black God Sect curled his lips and said to Shen Sheng: "What's the use of whether you live or die? We don't need you."

"I will never work for you either!"

Zhao Qiongman shouted at the leading black-robed man.

The black-robed man tilted his head and looked at Zhao Qiongman in confusion: "Don't you want to avenge your Heavenly Formation Sect? This world is rotten, rotten beyond recognition. If you join us and follow our Black God Sect, we will overthrow this world together and subvert this rotten world!"

"Madman! You are all madmen! Let us go!"

Zhao Qiongman refused.

"Alas."

The black-robed man sighed, looking very惋惜, "Since that's the case, then I have no choice."

The black-robed man ordered his men to grab Shen Sheng and drag him to the front, holding a long sword against Shen Sheng's neck:

"If you don't join us, then we will cut off your Dao Companion's flesh piece by piece. Now, our branch needs to complete a very important task, and we can only threaten you in this way."

"Let him go!"

Zhao Qiongman rushed forward, but was immediately held down by two cultivators beside the black-robed man.

The black-robed man's long sword had already broken through Shen Sheng's flesh, and blood dripped down the blade: "I'm waiting for your answer."

"I..."

"Ah!"

Just as Zhao Qiongman hesitantly uttered a single word, the black-robed man slashed with his sword, and Shen Sheng cried out miserably as a piece of flesh fell to the ground.

"Stop!" Zhao Qiongman shouted, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Beast! If you have the ability, just kill me directly!" Shen Sheng clenched his fists tightly, his forehead covered in cold sweat from the pain.

However, the black-robed man completely ignored Shen Sheng, his gaze fixed solely on Zhao Qiongman: "Please consider carefully before answering, young lady."

"I..."

"Ugh...!!!"

The black-robed man slashed across Shen Sheng's body again.

Shen Sheng forcibly suppressed a scream, looking at his wife, shaking his head vigorously.

"I agree!"

Just as the black-robed man was about to deliver the third strike, Zhao Qiongman said to him.

"A wise choice." The black-robed man sheathed his sword and fed Shen Sheng two pills.

"I have given your husband two pills. One can heal his injuries, and the other is a poison. If you ever go back on your word, young lady, I will have no choice but to activate the poison."

The black-robed man turned around, not glancing at Zhao Qiongman again, and ordered his subordinates.

"Take them away."

The black-robed man brought Shen Sheng and his wife to the inside of a mountain peak.

Inside this mountain peak, it had been completely hollowed out. Molten lava flowed underground, and around the rock walls were roaring demonic beasts.

"I wonder how you view the three concepts of 'human, demon, and beast'?" the black-robed man asked Zhao Qiongman.

Zhao Qiongman coldly replied:

"Humans are the spirits of creation, some can cultivate, and some cannot."

"Demons are animals that have gained intelligence, all demons can cultivate and can transform into human form."

"Beasts are born naturally, unable to gain intelligence, ferocious and brutal, and unable to transform into human form."

The black-robed man nodded: "Then how do you view the relationship between many mortals and cultivators?"

Zhao Qiongman: "Cultivators all come from mortals through cultivation; the two are the same."

The black-robed man's lips curled up: "Really the same?"

Zhao Qiongman frowned: "What do you mean?"

The black-robed man seemed very patient: "It's exactly what it sounds like. Cultivators do indeed come from mortals through cultivation, that's correct, but do cultivators really treat mortals equally?

At least as far as I know, cultivators treat mortals like demons treat ordinary animals, like humans treat demonic beasts.

For cultivators, mortals are no longer beings on the same level.

Even for cultivators, so-called mortals are merely tools.

Some cultivators use mortals for blood sacrifices.

Some cultivators use mortals for reproduction; if the children born are ordinary people, they are ignored, but if they have spiritual roots, they are taken back for training.

Cultivators can destroy a city, or even a country, for their own selfish desires.

Cultivators have never considered the lives or deaths of mortals."

Zhao Qiongman: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say is very simple."

The black-robed man turned around, facing Zhao Qiongman, and removed the hood of his cloak.

The others around the black-robed man also successively removed their hoods.

Seeing everyone's faces clearly, Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman's eyes trembled in shock.

Some had horns on their heads.

Some had lizard scales covering their cheeks.

Some had the eyes of beasts.

They all had more or less demonic beast features.

"We are ordinary people, and we are demonic beasts. Join us! Change everything in this world!
