Brother, why is he like this?

A subordinate came down to ask Ruan Yeming to discuss matters, and Ruan Yeming responded indifferently.

"Just feel wronged and stay here for the time being. If you need anything, you can talk to Su Qing."

After Ruan Yeming left, Shen Lingyuan looked around, and there was no luxury anywhere, how could it be considered "grievance"?

Five years later, I don't know what happened to Lingxu Continent.

Shen Lingyuan caressed unconsciously the bracelet made of willow branches on his wrist.This was given to him by Ye Tan back then, and its predecessor was Liu Ling.It's just that there is no reaction from the willow branches now, and I'm afraid they haven't yet developed spiritual wisdom.

……

Thousands of miles away on the Kunlun Mountains, Cang Xiao was speaking with his disciples.

Ever since a man in black disappeared around the boundary wall with Shen Lingyuan, the news that the devil had found a way to cross the boundary wall spread throughout Lingxu Continent.In recent years, the devouring of monks' spiritual power by the demons on Lingxu Continent has intensified.In the beginning, they were just casual cultivators, but later even some disciples from sects were found missing, and their drained bodies were exposed in the wilderness.

Jianzong hasn't found any disciples missing yet, but he is ready to organize his Jindan disciples to go out to hunt demons.

"Wow, is that Senior Brother Ye?"

"Yes, Venerable Nascent Soul! I heard that he is less than 20 years old."

Turning into a baby before reaching the weak crown, it is obvious that Ye Tan has become a legend of Jianzong.

Ye Tan, the legendary person mentioned by the disciples, was originally sitting on the head with the elders, with a cold expression, as if he was indifferent to everything.At this moment, he suddenly stood up, raised his head and stared at the west, and didn't even notice that the spirit sword in his hand hit the ground with a "bang".Look carefully, it seems that even the fingertips are trembling slightly.

Cang Xiao frowned and looked at Ye Tan, and said, "Ye Tan, what's the matter with you?"

The palms in the wide sleeves were gradually clenched, Ye Tan pursed his lips and remained silent, and after a while it turned into a white light and disappeared on the spot.

Everyone present was left in an uproar.

……

The knock on the door interrupted Shen Lingyuan's thoughts.After he raised his voice, "Please come in", the woman who delivered the medicine earlier opened the door and came in, and said to Shen Lingyuan: "My lord, you can call me Su Qing. The Lord is busy with something now. If you need me, please tell me." .”

Shen Lingyuan smiled at her: "I'm sorry."

Su Qing smiled and said: "I used to think that the young master and the master look exactly the same, but now it seems that they are different."

Ruan Yeming and Shen Lingyuan are indeed very similar, but their temperaments are completely different.Ruan Yeming looked a bit evil and bright, while Shen Lingyuan was gentle and elegant. Coupled with this smile, he was even more amiable.

Shen Lingyuan thought to himself, the subordinates who came to report earlier were silent, they didn't even dare to look up at Ruan Yeming and Shen Lingyuan, but this Su Qing dared to talk about their appearance, presumably his status was not low.

Su Qing said with emotion: "Fortunately, I found the son. The devil master Quan Xia knows, so I should rest assured."

"The devil?" Shen Lingyuan was a little dazed and confused.

Su Qing was surprised and said: "Don't you know, my son? You are a descendant of the heavenly demon, and your mother is the previous master of the demon realm."

Shen Lingyuan's face turned pale.

He took out the half jade pendant from his pocket.

The master said that the jade pendant was left to him by his parents.

In the jade pendant, there is the sword intent left by the Juggernaut, which was activated at a critical moment and saved his life.

Ruan Yeming also has a jade pendant that is exactly the same.

Su Qing said that he is the son of the demon lord and a descendant of the demon.

What the hell does this happen?

Seeing Yupei, Su Qing's expression suddenly became complicated.She snorted coldly, "Shen Mingshuang, the sword master respected by those people, in the final analysis is just a man who abandoned his wife."

Shen Lingyuan was shocked: "You mean, my father is a sword master and my mother is a devil?"

Su Qing sighed: "Not bad."

Shen Lingyuan had imagined countless times what kind of people his parents were.Maybe it is a sect cultivator like the master, even if he can't move mountains to fill the sea, he can still protect the place from being infested by ghosts; maybe he is a casual cultivator like Ye Tan's parents, living in seclusion in the mountains and isolated from the world.

Never expected the truth to be so complicated.

"...After the demon master got acquainted with Shen Mingshuang back then, the two fell in love very quickly. Shen Mingshuang said that he would report to the Ming master and become a Taoist partner with the demon master, but what was waiting was the attack of those people from Lingxu Continent. At that time, the demon master She was pregnant, and that battle was extremely difficult. After finally keeping the enemy out of the underground palace, the demon lord gave birth to two children, but a traitor in the clan opened the restriction of the underground palace... In the chaos, the demon lord fought Die, the young master is gone too."

As an attendant of the demon lord Ruan Xiaoman, Su Qing witnessed the chaos of war with his own eyes.The past came to mind one by one, and Su Qing was sad and hated: "After that, Shen Mingshuang finally showed up, but it was a sword that built a high wall and trapped us in the Demon Realm forever. But the war did not end here. Once the Demon Lord died, The order of the demon domain collapsed, and those powerful demons became kings one after another, especially the traitor... My lord and I were hunted down, wave after wave of pursuers, and there was no peace. Until we fled into the underground palace and opened the guard This is the chance to breathe."

Shen Lingyuan suddenly remembered the dream he had a long time ago.

The baby in the dream said "help me" to him.

That was Ruan Yeming silently begging him for help.

Shen Lingyuan felt a pain in his heart.

"...The master practiced endlessly day after day in the underground palace, and finally unified the Demon Realm and regained his position as the Demon Lord."

After Su Qing finished speaking, she calmed down, and smiled softly at Shen Lingyuan: "Young master, you can stay here at ease, no one will dare to hurt you."

Shen Lingyuan nodded silently.

Although he doesn't know how the Juggernaut and the Demon Lord met and fell in love, he believes that the Juggernaut is definitely not such a heartless person, there must be some misunderstanding in the middle.

Ruan Yeming's guard at the door saluted them silently, not intending to stop them.With Su Qing's support, he walked slowly in the underground palace, first to resume normal activities as soon as possible, and second to familiarize himself with the environment.

The terrain here is complex, the roads are deep and winding, and there are many palaces.Because it is buried deep underground and there is no skylight, night pearls and torches are mostly used for lighting.It's just that it's not sunlight, and you can't feel the slightest warmth when you bathe in it. The coldness from the ground is like a gangrene on the tarsus, and it won't go away.The air was dull and stagnant, and there was not a breath of wind.

In the dim corridor, pairs of torches extend forward, as if there is no end.

According to Ruan Yeming, his identity as a demon has been exposed.Now that the righteous and the devil are facing each other, coupled with the loss of cultivation base, staying in the demon realm seems to be the only choice.

What's more, he didn't know how to pass through the boundary wall.

Is the demon clan that appeared in Qianjimen from the Demon Realm?Does Ruan Yeming know?What happened to Xuelan?How is the outside world now?

Shen Lingyuan's thoughts were mixed.

During dinner, Ruan Yeming didn't show up.

"Date" and "dinner", these two words are very strange to the hearts of the demons.There are thousands of miles of red land in the Demon Realm, no grass grows, and the environment is extremely harsh.Most of the demons cannot live on the ground, they can only live in the dark and cold underground.They are isolated from the sky, and they have no concept of "early" or "late".The so-called "day" and "night" are nothing but the prescribed work and rest time in this underground palace.

High-level demons don't need to eat, while low-level demons live on carrion, and don't pay attention to taste and texture.So some common meals in the world are even more rare in the Demon Realm than pearls and treasures.

Shen Lingyuan looked at the exquisite food in front of him, and thought: It's hard to prepare these things for him.

At night, Shen Lingyuan didn't sleep well.

Perhaps it was because he had been in a coma for too long before that he couldn't fall asleep anyway.Moyu has no aura, he can't even do simple breath adjustment, so he simply stands up and walks.

There were still guards dutifully guarding the door. Seeing him push the door open, someone came up to ask for instructions, Shen Lingyuan waved his hand, and no one followed.

He had noticed it during the day, the entire underground palace was eerily quiet, and at night it was as quiet as a tomb, even the sound of footsteps was swallowed.From time to time, patrolling guards passed by two by two, and when they saw Shen Lingyuan, they bowed their heads in salute, and waited for him to pass before moving forward.

Shen Lingyuan walked casually, going around in circles, not even knowing where he was.

Suddenly, his steps stopped.

There was a faint sound coming from it.

The door of the stone room in front of him was closed, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Shen Lingyuan stopped for a moment and decided to ignore it.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his ears seemed to hear someone calling for help.

……help me.

These two words stabbed Shen Lingyuan's nerves.He tentatively reached out to push the door, but found that the door was unlocked, and it was easily pushed open.

Behind the door is a corridor, without torches, it looks pitch black.

Shen Lingyuan stepped into the darkness.

The voice was intermittent, and gradually it could be recognized as an old voice, sometimes cursing, sometimes whimpering and begging for mercy.I don't know how long I groped and walked, and finally a faint light appeared in front of my eyes.

At the end of the corridor was a big iron cage, inside was a man locked by thick chains, his face was unkempt and his face could not be seen clearly.

The man's limbs were exhausted, and he hid in a corner of the cage, lingering on his last breath.Hearing the voice at this time, he suddenly became excited, struggled to move in front of Shen Lingyuan, and shouted hoarsely through the cage: "Kill me! Please, kill me!"

Under the light, a very hideous face with criss-crossed scars appeared.

Shen Lingyuan was caught off guard and took two steps back in fright.

The man got closer, and Shen Lingyuan noticed that there was a scar with deep visible bones on his wrist and ankle, which was obviously broken by someone.In addition, there are other scars all over his body.These scars vary in depth, some new and some old.The old one was scarred, the new one was still bleeding, and there was a layer of black demonic energy floating on the wound.

Counting carefully, there are dozens or hundreds of things that can be seen.

Shen Lingyuan was horrified.

Seeing that Shen Lingyuan didn't speak, the man suddenly changed his face, tilted his head and twitched twice, and cursed: "What's wrong? Do it! Aren't you going to draw a knife on me every day? I thought you forgot today! Lao Tzu But wait! You bastard, dirty..."

The scolding stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly strangled her neck.

In the darkness behind Shen Lingyuan, a voice said in a low voice: "Brother, why are you here?"

There was a sudden chill behind him.
