In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Thousands of miles away from the Wanling Mountains, in the north of Changzhou, Dongyu State.

The main street of a small city called Anping is bustling with people coming and going.

Two young men and a silver-haired old man were strolling casually among the bustling crowds of people, just like taking a walk after a meal.

Suddenly, as fast as lightning, a spiritual light passed over the heads of the crowd from a distance and shot straight towards the three people.

One of the three, an honest-looking young man, raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and pointed in the air, focusing on the aura.

Such a bizarre phenomenon, in the eyes of many mortals in the city, seemed to be normal and did not cause much commotion.

Because as early as a few months ago, a large number of immortal cultivators had flooded this small town, so much so that the inns in the city were overcrowded.

As for the small sect of immortal cultivators who originally secretly occupied this city, they were so frightened that all their disciples took back the mountain gate. They pretended to be deaf and dumb to everything in this city.

After all, the city is now full of foundations, and the core formations are not as good as dogs.

To put it bluntly, the hundred-year-old bastards in the canal outside the city are now much rarer than the Yuanying monks.

"The old ghost from Taichu really has some tricks up his sleeve. He knew it as soon as we entered the city."

"The origins of Taichu Sect can be traced back to the ancient wilderness. Even if it has declined now, some methods cannot be underestimated!" The silver-haired old man smiled kindly and said nonchalantly.

The three of them continued to walk slowly as if nothing had happened. Of course, they also encountered many immortal cultivators who had temporarily settled here.

It's just that when those people discovered that the three of them were unfathomable, they all shunned them like snakes and scorpions. There was even an old monster in the middle Nascent Soul stage among them.

But under the cover of the silver-haired old man 'Mysterious Bell', after realizing that the three of them could not be distinguished, they just made an awkward gesture and left in a hurry.

After the three of them left the main street, they walked for about a stick of incense and arrived in front of a remote mansion.

"That's it." Brother Tiezi signaled to Lu Yuan and Senior Brother Cheng and stepped in directly.

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, they heard a long voice.

"Haha, the three fellow Taoists have finally arrived. I and several fellow Taoists are in the main hall, waiting quietly for their arrival."

After walking through a long corridor, you arrived in front of a majestic hall. Six people in the hall had already stood up and were preparing to greet him.

"Fellow Taoist Araki, fellow Taoist Lihuo..." Senior Brother Cheng was immediately surprised when he saw everyone in the room. He actually knew most of them.

Lu Yuan also took a look, except for the Taichu old ghost who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. The other five people actually all had early peak cultivation levels.

After Senior Brother Cheng's introduction, everyone in the room looked at Lu Yuan with solemn expressions. Although most of them spend their days in seclusion and practice hard, they seldom pay attention to the outside world.

But after being born in Falling Demon Valley this time, what I heard the most were the various rumors about Lu Yuan. After all, this person has a great reputation, but he is a guy who can confront the great monk head-on.

"Two junior brothers, these are also long-famous Nascent Soul stage Taoist friends. They were famous in Tiannan hundreds of years ago."

Lu Yuan and Brother Tiezi naturally did not dare to make excuses, so they greeted a few old monsters politely.

Because these deadlines are approaching, once you take action, you can say that there is no scruple. Even if you encounter someone in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, you have to take a detour and never dare to confront such a person head-on.

Lu Yuan was not so arrogant that he really thought that except for the three great monks and Master Mulan, the others had nothing to fear.

The main reason why I was able to take in Master Bi's Nascent Soul was because the other party had entrusted me with it. In addition, he was succeeded by Lu Yuan's several evil methods one after another, and he finally succeeded.

In the same battle with the old demon Hehuan, it was also a coincidence that he borrowed the power of the Demon Flame Sect.

If he meets Old Demon Hehuan and Master Bi again, Lu Yuan will definitely lose miserably if they are on guard.

And half of the old monsters in the hall had treasures shining faintly on their bodies. They either had some secret skills or possessed powerful treasures. They were not easy-going people.

A careless person will also be severely injured by the other party.

"Fellow Taoist Taichu, since everyone is here, we'd better explain some things in advance.

There is only one Qixialian, but now there are nine people participating! "After the greetings, an old man spoke first.

As soon as this was said, most of the old monsters present nodded slightly.

"Fellow Taoist Araki's words are indeed good, but you may not know it. The mature Qixia Lotus has seven petals. As long as each of us takes one petal, we can extend our life for a hundred years." Taichu old ghost said with a smile.

"Even if this is the case, what should we do if there are still two people who can't separate themselves? What if someone takes advantage of the strength of the crowd and takes action forcefully...

When they heard about the war on the border, some people had hidden selfish motives and deliberately refused to go to war. He took advantage of the many comrades in Tiannan to fight against the Mulan people and reaped huge benefits for himself. "Another old monster spoke up, and his words meant something.

"Old ghost Mingfeng, please stop being so weird here and talking nonsense!

After picking the Qixialian, it is natural to distribute it according to the amount of effort. If you feel that you are not good enough, quit as soon as possible. At worst, I won’t take my share. This way, the remaining seven people will be just right. "Senior Brother Cheng said coldly, because what Old Ghost Mingfeng said was obviously talking about Lu Yuan.

At first, Long Han could not command Lu Yuan during the battle, but many people looked down upon him.

"Cheng Tiankun! How dare you look down on me! Don't think that you are arrogant because you have a few more supporters. Others are afraid of you, the Luoyun Sect, but I am not afraid!" The old monster Mingfeng who spoke earlier said angrily, with a confused expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter if I look down on you. How dare you go out and try a few tricks?" Senior Brother Cheng suddenly stood up.

"What are you two fellow Taoists doing! Not to mention the distribution of Qixialian, why are we already having internal strife before we even enter the Demonic Valley!" Taichu Old Ghost said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Isn't it Qixialian? Let's do it this way. Since my junior brother and I don't have any worries about longevity, we won't participate in the distribution. There will definitely be other treasures to be found in Falling Demon Valley this time. We can just look for some from above to make up for it. ." Lu Yuan suddenly spoke.

This opinion was agreed by everyone.

Of course, except Senior Brother Cheng. However, he didn't say much. He believed that Lu Yuan definitely had his own considerations when he said this.

Next, everyone moved the topic away from Qixialian and talked about the specific matters and arrangements for entering the valley.

After half a day, everything was almost done. The three of them had no intention of staying here, so they said goodbye and left.

"Junior brother, why did you give up the allocation of Qixialian? Aren't you going to the valley just for it?" Senior Brother Cheng asked in confusion after leaving Anping City.

"God Lord Dayan said that there is something wrong with this old ghost from the beginning, and that the method of allocating one petal to one person is nonsense. Although I don't know why he gathered so many Nascent Soul monks, when he really finds the Qixia Lotus, I'm afraid there will be a fight , so there is no need for us to fall out now." Brother Tiezi explained aloud.

Cheng and Lu had known for a long time that Zhang Tie had a soul hidden in his body. As time passed, Lu Yuan did not hide it from them, so he informed them about God Lord Dayan.

"The old ghost still has such selfish motives? In this case, there is no need for us to risk entering the valley." Senior Brother Cheng looked surprised and then reminded.

"Brother, don't worry. If we really fight for it. With the strength of the three of us, we are the most likely to succeed. The main thing is to pay more attention to the old ghost Taichu after entering the valley. If there is any bad sign, kill him first!" Lu Yuan said harshly.

Falling Demon Valley is inherently dangerous, so if someone is plotting against him, Lu Yuan will naturally not show mercy.

The three of them then continued on their way and found Han Li's place to stay in an inconspicuous valley in the Wanling Mountains.

......

Near an ordinary small valley, there were more than a dozen immortal cultivators wearing Mulan costumes.

The two magicians at the front, one male and one female, are none other than the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong among the Mulan priests and the woman surnamed Le who is in charge of the ancient lantern.

"Are you sure he's here?" Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong asked a mage with a solemn expression.

"Back to the Divine Master, our people saw him in Anping City a few days ago. Although we lost him later, we can be sure that he entered the Wanling Mountains."

"It doesn't matter. With the connection between the ancient lamp of Yuan and Ming Dynasties and the sacred bird, we can easily find his location. If we work together to kill him, we can let the part of the holy bird's soul return!" The woman named Le said coldly.

"Don't worry about it. The evil sect named Lu has a lot of tricks, and he also has the unparalleled speed of the Wind Splitting Beast. Even if we can find him, the two of us are not completely sure that we can keep him.

Moreover, there are many Yuanying old monsters from Tiannan gathered here. If they act rashly, it will be detrimental to us. Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong shook his head.

"Then what Master Yizhong means..."

"It seems that he doesn't want to miss this trip to the Devil's Falling Valley. As long as he enters the valley, with the space cracks all over it, I believe he won't dare to escape with all his strength. It will be more beneficial to us then.

Furthermore, if this kid is unlucky, he might die directly inside. Then we can use secret techniques to recall the sacred birds, wouldn't it be easier? Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong said with a slight smile.

......

A month later, the miasma in the Wanling Mountains finally dissipated, and many monks who had been hiding in the periphery emerged one after another and flew towards the Falling Demon Valley.

Falling Demon Valley is located in the northwest of Wanling Mountains, covering an area of ​​100,000 miles.

Because the ancient monks and the ancient demons from across the border were fighting here, overlapping ancient restrictions were set up around the valley and in the sky. Each of these restrictions was extremely powerful, and they were all intertwined. With the whole body involved, there is no way to break through.

The only place where there is no restriction is the entrance to the Fallen Demon Valley, a narrow passage that is a hundred feet wide and more than dozens of miles long.

This passage could have been easily passed, but due to the fierce fighting that year, the fighting spread to this place, and as a result, the entrance of the passage was filled with dense space cracks.

Some of these cracks have dazzling white light and are obviously abnormal, some are light and dim, indistinct, and some are completely invisible and difficult to detect.

What's worse is that these space cracks in the Devil's Valley will wander and close on their own as time goes by, making it impossible to predict their appearance and appearance patterns.

Such a terrifying space crack caused countless monks to die in the passage at the entrance of the valley without even entering the outer valley. Among them are many old monsters from the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, the reputation of Fallen Demon Valley as the most dangerous place is actually mostly caused by these space cracks.

But this time is different. It is said that the Ghost Spirit Sect has a way to safely send people into the valley. This immediately caused a commotion in the entire Tiannan Immortal World. Many monks had already been eyeing the treasure of the Fallen Demon Valley. . Divide up all the hundreds of Demon Falling Tokens.

Some monks who didn't have tokens still didn't give up and swarmed here just in case, to see if they could get lucky and get their ideas into the valley.

......

Near the entrance of the Falling Demon Valley, gray clouds were billowing, spiritual energy was stirring, and there were many strange omens, which made people feel shuddered when they saw it.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, there were thousands of monks gathered, many of whom were old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage hiding among them. Lu Yuan and the others had already arrived here, joined Chu Laogui and others, and waited together.

As time passed, more and more monks gathered here. At this moment, a startling and angry voice suddenly came from nearby.

"The Mulan people are here! They are the Mulan monks. They really want to go into the valley to hunt for treasures."

As the sound fell, there was a commotion throughout the entrance.

Although the Mulan people made peace with Tiannan, both sides suffered a lot of casualties in the border battle. The Mulan people and many sects have developed deep hatreds. And without hundreds of years of subtlety, this hatred cannot be solved so easily.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and looked. In the sky not far away, there was a strange flying car flying slowly towards here. Standing in the car were more than a dozen immortal cultivators wearing Mulan costumes.

As if sensing something, the woman named Le at the front of the speeding car turned her head and looked down. The position he was looking at was exactly where Lu Yuan was.

Just when the monks faced the arrival of the Mulan people, they all looked at each other with cold eyes and showed great hostility. On the distant horizon, light flashed again, and hundreds of rays of light suddenly appeared there and flew towards here.

"They're from the Ghost Spirit Sect!" Someone immediately recognized the origin of these light-escapers and shouted in a low voice.

Sure enough, after the light disappeared, more than a hundred black-shirted monks appeared, busy at the entrance of the valley, seeming to be setting up a huge magic circle.

Naturally, no one bothered the monks nearby at this time, and they all watched in the dark.

Those Mulan monks landed on a hilltop not far from Lu Yuan and gathered together. The Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong and the woman surnamed Le were talking in low voices, and looked at Lu Yuan from time to time.

Seeing the surprise on the face of the woman named Le, Lu Yuan was puzzled for a while and stared back.

However, this move did not arouse the other party's dissatisfaction. The Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong smiled lightly and actually nodded to Lu Yuan.

"Do I have such a good relationship with them?" Lu Yuan was shocked, but had a bad premonition.

Not long after, the sky flashed with brilliance again, and a dazzling white rainbow shot out like lightning. Wherever it passed, the clouds opened and fog dispersed, and the momentum was extremely shocking.

Bai Hong instantly reached the sky above the mouth of the valley, and the dazzling white light faded, revealing an old man in a green shirt with an expressionless face.

"Wei Wuya!"

"Why is he here too?"

"Is it true that the Nine Nations Alliance is bound to obtain the treasure of Fallen Demon Valley?"

As soon as they saw the old man's face clearly, there was a commotion among the monks hidden around him, and most of them were secretly frightened.

The divine master surnamed Zhong and the woman surnamed Le next to him had a hint of astonishment in their eyes, looking somewhat surprised by Wei Wuya's appearance.
