Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Zhou Yiqiao stood up with the wine glass in his hand and bowed to Elder Yan Yan.

"What the elder reminded me of is that I almost overlooked these fellow Taoists who have been protecting me till now."

Having said that, he raised his head and drank all the spiritual wine in the glass, said goodbye to Elder Yan Yan, and accompanied by Yan Yi, walked towards Yan Chi and others.

When the monsters saw Zhou Yiqiao and Yan Yi walking out of the hall, they all stepped forward to salute.

Yanchi spoke first, with a look of reluctance on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, are you leaving now?"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly.

"All good things must come to an end. My fate with you has ended, but we will meet again on the road of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chi and the others felt reluctant, but they also knew that everyone had their own path to follow, so they said no more and just spoke in unison.

"Mr. Zhou, have a nice trip."

Zhou Yiqiao looked around at his companions who had fought side by side with him for several months, and felt deeply moved.

Although the human and demon races are constantly fighting, if Zhou Yiqiao is asked to choose one between the human and demon races as his friend, he will choose the demon race without hesitation.

This is not just because Yan Chi, Yan Yi and others in front of him lent him a helping hand when he was in danger.

Moreover, through his contact with the demon race over the years, Zhou Yiqiao could clearly feel that the demon race was much purer than most human cultivators.

They value friendship and loyalty, and are clear about gratitude and resentment. Although they do not pay attention to details, they also have their own bottom line and principles.

It is much easier and more comfortable to get along with such companions than with the human monks who are full of intrigue.

Zhou Yiqiao took out several pills suitable for demon cultivators from his storage ring and handed them to Yan Chi and others.

"These pills will serve as my parting gifts to you all. I hope they will be helpful to your future practice."

Yan Chi and the others took the jade bottle containing the elixir, felt the spiritual power contained in it, and showed surprise on their faces.

"Mr. Zhou, this is too expensive."

Perhaps it is the limitation of the laws of nature that it is difficult for the demon race to make any achievements in alchemy.

Even for the Flame Scale Royal Clan, the top demon tribe in Zoroastrianism, the elixirs produced within the clan can only be supplied to royal members with the purest bloodlines. Ordinary demon cultivators often find it difficult to obtain high-quality elixir resources.

Therefore, the pills given by Zhou Yiqiao were undoubtedly extremely precious and practical gifts to Yan Chi and others.

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand.

"I am an alchemist myself. To me, these pills are nothing compared to your kindness in protecting the law."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chi and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Well, since Mr. Zhou said he would give it to you, you should accept it."

In the end, it was the prince Yan Yi who stood up and broke the brief silence.

"Mr. Zhou, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."

As a representative, Yan Chi solemnly saluted Zhou Yiqiao.

“Take care, everyone.”

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, waved goodbye, turned around and flew towards the distant sky.

Yan Yi and others watched his figure gradually disappear into the horizon until it turned into a black dot.

......

Zhou Yiqiao controlled the red flame and flown gold to fly towards Tianyao City for a day and a night, and suddenly he felt a chill rising from his heart, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake.

He was startled and immediately slowed down. At the same time, his spiritual power spread throughout his body and he was on high alert.

Sure enough, just as he became alert, a black shadow silently emerged from the clouds, from top to bottom, with a fierce murderous intent, pointing directly at Zhou Yiqiao's face.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes flashed, and he clapped his hands in front of him. The Diamond Shield suddenly appeared, and it suddenly grew several feet in size to face the black shadow, blocking the sudden attack.

With a loud bang, the clouds were shaken apart and the surrounding space seemed to tremble.

The black shadow was bounced back by the Diamond Shield, revealing the true identity of the attacker.

It was a monster bird with fleshy wings on its back and red eyes.

His claws held two daggers that glowed with a faint green light. There was still a lingering demonic aura at the tips of the daggers, which clearly showed that they were not ordinary items.

"Who is this evildoer who dares to block and attack the Flame Scale Imperial Family on their territory?"

Zhou Yiqiao stared at the monster bird with a sharp gaze, his heart full of doubts.

However, the demon bird did not seem to intend to answer, but its eyes became even redder and it let out low growls.

He flapped his wings vigorously and flew into the air again, with demonic aura lingering around him, obviously ready to launch a more fierce attack.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao no longer hesitated. The spiritual power in his body surged, and the Netherworld Demon Sword appeared in his hand. The sword body was flowing with dark purple demonic energy, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding evil spirit.

"Since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish!"

Zhou Yiqiao let out a low shout, and his body suddenly jumped up, rushing towards the monster bird like an arrow.

The Netherworld Demon Sword cut through the sky, leaving behind a trail of purple trails. Each sword contained a terrifying force that was enough to tear apart space.

The demon bird was obviously also a strong one. Facing Zhou Yiqiao's fierce attack, it not only did not retreat, but became even more eager to fight.

It spread its wings and moved at an incredible speed, dodging flexibly in the air. At the same time, its two daggers turned into two green lights, which complemented Zhou Yiqiao's Netherworld Demon Sword, colliding with a series of sparks and roars.

The battle became more and more intense. The figures of the two men shuttled through the clouds like two lightning bolts, filling the sky with a bit of solemnity.

However, after his sudden enlightenment, Zhou Yiqiao is now as powerful as a Void Refining cultivator, and the depth of his spiritual sea is far beyond the reach of the mad demon cultivator in front of him.

After several rounds, the attack of the demon bird gradually became powerless.

The green light on the two daggers began to dim, and every collision with the Netherworld Demon Sword caused the spirits in the weapons to emit painful hisses.

Just as Zhou Yiqiao was about to deliver a fatal blow to end the battle once and for all, an urgent shout suddenly came from afar, penetrating the sound of fierce fighting.

"Stop! Brother Zhou, don't kill him!"

The sudden sound made Zhou Yiqiao pause involuntarily.

The edge of the Netherworld Demon Sword stopped just an inch away from the vital point of the demon bird. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, emitting waves of creepy cold murderous intent.

He quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar figure galloping towards him. His movements were as graceful as the breeze passing through the clouds, and he appeared in front of Zhou Yiqiao in an instant.

When the figure approached, Zhou Yiqiao was stunned. The person was actually a member of the Tianyao tribe whom he had not seen for many years.

"How could it be you?"

Zhou Yiqiao put away the Netherworld Demon Sword, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The visitor, who had not yet caught his breath, hurried forward, bowed to Zhou Yiqiao and explained.

"This place is under the management of the Heavenly Demon City. My Heavenly Demon Clan monks will patrol this place every day."

"Just now I noticed that there was a disturbance of spiritual power here, so I hurried over to check it out. I didn't expect it to be Brother Zhou whom I haven't seen for many years."
