In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jiu had been lying down for eleven days.

During this period, the outside world has been turbulent.

After the important information about the magic core was stolen by the evil cultivator, Wen Chaoxi, who had already killed several Mahayana demons, became furious. Within two days, he led his men out of the Dark Forest, carried out a major purge of the union, and captured several undercover agents who did not have time to escape.

The identities of these people were very clean, they were just ordinary demon cultivators, and at the beginning they didn't even know that they were helping the evil cultivators.

These people from Jiuqu Shuozhou changed their nature of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and refused to provide any useful information. They looked very angry and said that the brave and unparalleled adults would definitely come to save them.

The brainwashing was successful.

Chu Yi used the soul-searching technique and found the masked man that everyone remembered.

Comparing it with the information reported by Bu Jinglian, it is clear without much guessing that it was Gu Li's work.

Unfortunately, the latter has already escaped, and these people are simply abandoned.

When the jailer told this story, the undercover traitors were completely dumbfounded. They cried and begged for mercy. They were not even qualified to go to the cold prison and were shot dead with regret.

Something happened immediately afterwards, and Wen Chaoxi directly sealed off the No. 1 building.

Over the past three hundred years, she had checked the famous building countless times, but only this time was it sealed off permanently with swift and decisive action, and all the items were confiscated on the same day.

Everyone thought that Meng Huwan would come out to confront her, and the two would definitely fall out, but Meng Huwan never showed up until the end.

Such a huge and prestigious building and huge assets were sealed off so smoothly.

However, there is no time to lament the end of the capitalists. What is about to happen next is the turbulent situation on all sides before the ranking battle.

First, the Northern Sword Sect was about to go to war with the Heavenly Demon Sect because of the explosion of the magic core and the fact that Jiemie almost went to heaven.

They cursed each other for twelve hours every day. Even though Jiemie took all the blame on himself, Jianzong was still furious. However, they did not let Jiemie go either. They cursed him too.

Jiemie never left the house again, and every day he stayed in the cave listening to the holy teachings of his elders.

In addition, the Holy Land of Astrology suddenly changed its mind and resolutely opposed the opening of the Demon Abyss.

Everyone was shocked. The Holy Land had been shouting slogans of following the will of heaven every day and was the first to call on everyone to vote in favor, but in the end it suddenly changed its mind!

Why?

Following Wen Ren Se Jue's words, Saint Lord Yu Xishan said in a serious tone: "Recently, the strange stars in the sky have coincided with the dark clouds of the Demon Abyss. Do you know what this means?"

Everyone craned their necks: "What does it mean?"

Yu Xishan lowered his voice, and his solemn voice was very contagious.

"The Demonic Abyss will be opened, and the Earth-shattering Star of Disaster will surely appear! When that happens, a catastrophe will occur throughout the entire Jiuqu Shuozhou!"

Everyone was shocked: "What do those auspicious signs mean?"

Isn't this contradictory?

The recognized prophet Yu Xishan recited Wenren Sejue's words carefully: "The most important thing is the word 'timing'. If it was opened at that time, the alien star had not yet taken shape, and all the benefits of the Demon Abyss would be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

"But now, alas, the alien planet has been created, and the Demonic Abyss is extremely dangerous. I am really worried that by then, there will be rivers of blood and the human race will not be able to block the huge mouth of the abyss."

Naturally, everyone believed Yu Xishan's words without a doubt. Their faces suddenly became solemn and they were shaken in their hearts.

Originally there were only three major forces opposing it, and now there is also the Penglai Fairy Island.

In addition, the Bu family, which has deep roots in Jiuqu Shuozhou, also called on the people to oppose the opening of the Demon Abyss.

The situation in Jiuqu Shuozhou was in chaos. Lou Yeyu suddenly appeared and said that they would make a decision after the ranking battle.

Everyone felt relieved and agreed.

……

After listening to Yue Shangxian's story, Zhu Jiu was a little confused about Wenren Sejue's intentions, so she wanted to talk to him about it.

One was to ask why Shengdi changed his mind, and the other was to test whether he had noticed anything unusual about Lou Yeyu.

The answer to the latter question was obtained from Yue Shangxian. For some reason, Wenren Sejue had been in seclusion at Shuanglong Peak during this period of time and had not appeared at Yishi Peak, so the two did not meet.

Zhu Jiu felt very sorry. If it were him, he would definitely be able to find out whether Lou Yeyu was real or fake.

What a coincidence, he always manages to avoid Zhu Jiu's eyes perfectly.

Zhu Jiu sneered twice, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

It is obvious that everything was done by Lou Yeyu, or should I say Meng Huwan, who colluded with the evil cultivators and manipulated the situation, pushing things step by step to the current situation.

If Jueya had not insisted on his position and the Holy Land of Astrology had not unexpectedly turned against them, the opening of the Demon Abyss would have been a foregone conclusion and the ranking battles would have become a formality.

But the change in Wenren Sejue's attitude made Zhu Jiu worried. The waxing moon was a matter, and the same was true for Wenren Sejue. He was also an evil god, and there must be a conspiracy behind him. Zhu Jiu didn't want him to use astrology to get involved too much.

Before I could think of a reason to look for him, the other party sent me a message.

Wen Ren Se Jue's voice was soft and gentle, and it made people's ears itch: I haven't asked you about the last matter of the Invisible Shadow Formation.

Zhu Jiu found that this person had changed a little, as if he was more real.

Zhu Jiu was also very easy to talk to and was not stingy with his advice: If you had been to the scene, you would have noticed something. The formation is a double formation, upper and lower. It looks like one layer on the surface, but it looks completely different from Shuai Guo's perspective.

She said: There should be a real formation drawn under the first layer of the ground. The method to break this formation is the way I mentioned. Destroying the red lotus will unlock the upper layer of the formation.

Wenren Sejue was greatly surprised. He heard that this was a rare double rebellious formation.

Theoretically, formations can be nested in a chain, but the nested formations must ensure that the spiritual power of each other runs smoothly and without conflict. This requires the formation master to have a high level of understanding and insight, to be able to detect such key nodes and come up with a suitable nesting plan.

Such formation masters are rare, and Wen Rense is definitely one of them, but he does not have many nesting methods and is still in the process of figuring it out and researching.

Positive nesting requires a lot of effort, and negative nesting is only a theory in books. No one has ever achieved it in nearly five hundred years.

Wen Ren Se was extremely confident that he would eventually reach that level, but he did not expect to encounter it before that.

The most important thing is that the other party didn’t even come to the scene, but he knew everything just by taking a look at the photos. The difficulty is simply on a different level.

Wenren Se's absolute understanding of Zhu Jiu reached a new high.

No wonder God is so afraid of her. She is indeed so powerful that it makes people despair.

But...is she really the source of all evil and a heretic as the stars say?

Is there really no hidden story behind the Jialan tragedy and the Canglan tragedy?

Wenren Sejue had been with Zhu Jiu twice, and had never sensed the kind of murderous ruthlessness in her. Her style was both good and evil, but the end result of her actions always made things develop in a better direction.

Zhu Jiu didn't know what he was thinking, he was only thinking about the Holy Land's change of position.

She asked: I heard that your sect suddenly opened up to the Demon Abyss, why is that?

Wen Ren Se Jue's eyebrows moved and he repeated Yu Xishan's words, but heard Zhu Jiu sneer: There is no need to say these misleading words, those people believe it because they trust the predictions of the stars, but I don't believe it.

Yes, from the first time we met, this person sneered at the word astrology.

Wen Ren Sejue's eyes were deep, and he suspected that the other party knew something.

He asked Zhu Jiu calmly why he didn't believe it.

Zhu Jiu answered ambiguously: I only believe in myself.

Wen Ren Se Jue raised his lips, and suddenly found that these words that he once sneered at sounded very realistic.

He replied vaguely: Similarly, I also believe in my own judgment of the stars.

He changed the subject: Do you think the Demon Abyss should be opened?

Zhu Jiu said in a weary tone: "The cave contains wolves, tigers and leopards, not rare treasures. What's the point of opening it for me?"

Wenren Sejue thought so too, no matter how powerful the magic core was, it was not as powerful as her.

The two chatted for a while in a bland and evasive manner, and neither of them was able to get any key information from the other.

Zhu Jiu hung up the message without gaining anything, her brows gloomy. It was not that she did not want to use some radical statements, but these radical statements would also become important clues for the other party.

Wenren Sejue must have discovered something, and she couldn't let her discover more. Knowing the truth now would definitely not be a good thing for him.

There are still three days left in the qualifying battle, so just get this matter resolved as soon as possible.

Zhu Jiu lay down again. In two days, she would be able to break through and reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

Ranking match? Whoever she wants to win will win.

The devil's abyss cannot be opened, and Meng Huwan's death is approaching.

……

Two days later, Zhu Jiu opened her eyes and a golden light flashed, which was extremely sacred. She exhaled, stood up and moved her slightly stiff body.

The sound of bones crackling was a bit creepy.

The little emerald green snake coiled around him was startled and started to hiss at Zhu Jiu, sticking out its tongue.

"You haven't left yet." Zhu Jiu touched his smooth and cold head.

This is just a small snake that has just evolved from a demon beast into a beast demon in the Nascent Soul stage. It has just gained wisdom and its teeth are extremely poisonous. It is a young beast demon. Zhu Jiu saw that it was pretty and caught it to play with as a bracelet.

As a result, she just made a breakthrough, and the little green snake that snuggled up to her benefited from it and also made a breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

The little green snake clung to his thigh and refused to leave.

While Zhu Jiu was yawning, the green snake had already cleverly wrapped itself around Zhu Jiu's wrist. It stopped crawling around and lay still.

Zhu Jiu fiddled with it twice, and seeing it close its eyes and pretend to be dead, he smiled and did not throw it away forcibly, just treating it as an extra decoration on its body.

Xingjun worked day and night to help Zhu Jiu repair his soul, which had suffered considerable damage. He was nourished by Zhu Jiu's soul and spoke in a weak voice, "What identity will you use to go out this time?"

Zhu Jiu narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously.

……

The ranking battle will be held tomorrow, and Jiuqu Shuozhou is packed with people. According to the original rules, if the spiritual cultivators win this time, the Demon Abyss will most likely be closed for a long time, and if the demon cultivators win, the opposite will happen.

The original intention was to test how much help the contracted demon could provide in human hands.

But the world changes, and because of one incident after another, a considerable number of spiritual practitioners no longer resist the Demon Abyss. This raises a paradoxical question: how can they fight seriously if they don't resist?

It would be fine to let him go, but what if he turns out to be a traitor?

At this time, Lou Yeyu proposed to change the battle between spirits and demons into a battle between the red and blue camps based on whether they agreed to open the Demon Abyss.

The red side agrees, the blue side refuses, and everyone chooses their own camp, using a points system.

The winner is determined by the total points of low, medium and high-end combat power.

There is a lot of controversy about this proposal.

Excluding the uncontrollable monks below, according to the current situation, the major forces that can be recognized are: Qiankun Temple, Tianmo Sect, and Demon King Palace.

Those who refused are: Supreme Cliff, Holy Land of Astrology, Penglai Fairy Island, Jiling Empire, and Beimai Sword Sect.

On this basis, three parties must be excluded: the Holy Land of Astrology has no combat power and will not participate;

Only people from the Jiling Empire's academy came. Ling Yuanhan and Ling Yuanlong, the representative fighting forces, were busy fighting for the throne and did not participate in the competition.

Needless to say, the Demon King Palace had its top fighters either dead or injured, and the demon clan was in the midst of internal strife and everyone was in danger, so no demons came this time.

Therefore, it can be simplified to the red side: Qiankun Temple, Tianmo Sect.

Blue team: Supreme Cliff, Penglai Fairy Island, Northern Sword Sect.

The Red Team says that the Blue Team has more advantages. Not only do they have more people, but they also have a pillar, the Supreme Cliff. How can they win?

The blue team was secretly delighted, but they plausibly accused the red team of having a powerful contracted demon accompanying them, saying that one person was stronger than two.

Red Team: What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t you also have contracted beasts?

The Red and Blue Camp Match has a lot of loopholes, but it is much better than the ranking match.

Jueya agreed because it would be beneficial to his side.

The boss has spoken, and the blue team symbolically struggled a few times in the boss's hands, and could only obey reluctantly.

Zhu Jiu probably understood Jueyao's train of thought: fighting was not to give everyone a chance to refute it, but to give everyone a chance to fail and show their character.

The Red Team used all their strength, and all the schools and factions sent out their best talents.

If there is some kind of interface for selecting generals, there will surely be jackals, tigers and leopards coming out together, who can compete with them!

Even though the cliff is strong, we have to work together to break it.

But everyone who was full of high spirits soon suffered a severe blow - Jueya didn't want the red team to win at all.

why?

Because they transferred Mo Huaizun from the Demon King Palace, and also the third true disciple Feng Zhiyi, who was accepted not long ago and was said to have just achieved divine enlightenment two days ago.

My God, at the age of 18, he jumped from the Golden Core to the God Transformation in less than two months, and he has the Glazed Sword Heart, so his combat power must be astonishing.

There is also Cangjie, who is even more heavyweight. It is said that his bloodline has been somewhat integrated and stabilized. He jumped directly from foundation building to spirit transformation in just half a month. He is the first half-demon in tens of thousands of years. You can experience for yourself what his combat power is.

Although he was not Jueya's disciple, he was indebted to Jueya and offered to help in the battle.

Needless to say, all the mid-range combat power points were contracted by Jueya.

Moreover, even if the people they sent out were average, they were still...better than everyone else...

Red side: ...?

Before the fight even started, the crystal cracked into a canyon.

Everyone's heart is colder than snowflakes.

The location of this faction battle is the Luofei Arena in Jiuqu Shuozhou, where the demonic energy is strong.

It was formerly the battlefield of the great war between humans and demons. Due to the huge noise at that time, the original vegetation was destroyed. The vast area was very suitable for fighting and competition. After many renovations, it became the current Lofe Arena.

The specific level settings this time are still in the confidential stage. I heard that it was designed by the leaders of the eight major forces, and they also used holy artifacts to transform the arena, in an effort to give every contestant a good competitive experience.

The rewards were also extremely generous, and the eight major forces all took out good things.

In this way, even people who don't have any ideas can participate actively.

Excluding external factors, it was simply a national competition, and the grand occasion of Jiuqu Shuozhou was unprecedented.
