【Deal with the Devil】

After Qi Jingyu's words fell, footsteps could be heard on the other side of the passage, and Su Yunhe emerged from the darkness, and approached the two calmly.He still had that faint and gentle smile on his face, under the scarlet light of the indicator light, there was an inexplicably sly and cunning taste, which seemed a bit permeating.

It's a pity that the two opposites are either demons or demons, and their vision is naturally different from that of ordinary people-there is no god in this world, and Qi Jingyu and Yan Mo know in their hearts that the thing possessing Yunhe's body is nothing more than one of these two , since this is the case, there is nothing to worry about too much.

A loud noise in the distance shook the heavens and the earth, and was affected, even the research room buried deep in the ground trembled.

The fine dust shook off, floating slowly and irregularly among the three of them.

Being disturbed, Su Yunhe raised his head and glanced at the direction of the vibration as if he felt something. Under the shadow of his forehead hair, an elusive and frivolous smile appeared in the man's dark eyes.

Yan Mo stared at those eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to Qi Jingyu, "Jing Yu, who is that guy who knows you and Chong Ye quite well?"

Hearing this, Su Yunhe looked sideways at Yan Mo, but did not answer.

Qi Jingyu said: "This matter can probably be traced back to the beginning of the world, when monsters and beasts were rampant - if it is divided according to the ranks of monsters, then from top to bottom, there are four spirit beasts, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. After that, there are the five ancient fierce beasts to which my Nine Tails and Qingluan belong, and then there are countless auspicious beasts and other fierce beasts, large and small, whose demon rank is lower than ours... In the world of demons, there are countless The four spirits and the five evil spirits have the highest cultivation and were born the longest, so we can be regarded as familiar with each other."

At this point, Qi Jingyu's voice stopped, he did not rush to continue, but looked at Yan Mo beside him with an inscrutable gaze, and then fell on Su Yunhe.

Yan Mo could hear that there was something in his words, and following the other party's intention, he said, "Of course I understand what you said, and I also know that Suzaku has been annihilated by Chong Ye, and a strand of its demon soul resides in the body of the Demon Subduing Master. The whereabouts of the other two strands are unknown. As for the white tiger Xuanwu and the other three beasts—”

When he said this, Yan Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Su Yunhe, who was smiling calmly in front of him, and said with a smile, "Thousands of years have passed, and the world is impermanent. Now, in order to protect themselves, the high-level monsters have already lived in seclusion, protecting them in a low-key and safe manner." I have heard about the whereabouts of a little demon, so could it be that your apprentice is possessed by one of them?"

When the voice fell, he couldn't help shaking his head hesitantly.

"No, no demon in this world has the ability to escape the eyes of a demon, unless—" Yan Mo narrowed his eyes, staring at Yunhe's face for a moment, as if he wanted to see through the skin to see clearly what was hidden inside. What is the thing, "Unless you're my kind?"

Su Yunhe smiled, and praised frankly: "Lord Yan Mo has good eyesight."

After being confirmed, Yan Mo looked at Qi Jingyu with slight surprise, and said, "You actually got acquainted with demons other than this deity?!"

Qi Jingyu remained silent for a while, then cast a sideways glance at him expressionlessly, and said flatly, "You can always get the point wrong."

Yan Mo: "..."

Is there anything more serious in this world than the little fox hooking up with other demons behind his back?Master Mo Luo thought about it carefully, and probably hooked up with other monsters behind his back, after all, it is impossible for a fox to fall in love with a mortal.

Looking away, Qi Jingyu looked at Su Yunhe again, and said with a half-smile: "That demon also appeared as a pawn collector, but what he collected was the first batch of spirit beasts in the world who were cultivated into demons, so Feng and I The acquaintance of Chi Zhongye was not accidental, but he was accepted by the same demon."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly towards Su Yunhe, and said in a gentle voice: "It's been a long time, teacher."

It was the first time in thousands of years that the nine-tailed demon fox lowered its posture towards others, but it didn't show the slightest hint of humility and respect, as if it was just a formulaic behavior, and there was nothing else.

There was a smile in Su Yunhe's eyes, but he accepted this bow that could be called a "gift" calmly, and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have seen you for thousands of years, but I still don't care about you." You can say something—" At this point, Su Yunhe suddenly paused, and then he seemed to want to moan Qi Jingyu's hair, but in the end he only patted one of his shoulders lightly, and then said again: "Nine tails, Stay safe."

Qi Jingyu didn't speak, she turned her body slightly to avoid the opponent's palm, and then stepped aside politely.Su Yunhe didn't mind, he withdrew his hand and opened his cuff to look at the time, and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that the expressions of the two were as usual but their behavior was obviously different, Yan Mo's thoughts suddenly turned, he looked at Su Yunhe's eyes slightly, and said: "The time when you came into contact with the earliest batch of ancient monsters must be at least five or six thousand years ago. Yes, Your Excellency really has a high vision and knows how to appreciate those little spiritual things."

"Lord Yan Mo is overrated." Su Yunhe looked at him sideways, "Those spirit beasts were fortunate enough to be transformed into demons, and then they were fortunate enough to be accepted by this deity. All of this can be said to be the cause and effect of destiny."

"In that case," Qi Jingyu sneered, "Why do you need to assist Qinglong Chongye to interfere in the causal cycle between us and other monsters? Teacher, even if it is a monster with different paths, it is a master-student relationship after all, no matter you took us in at the beginning What is your intention? Today, Feng Chi has suffered twice and there is no possibility of resurrection. Are you going to continue to help Zhong Ye to do anything reckless?"

Su Yunhe slowly shook his head when he heard the words, and said flatly: "Jiuwei, you are wrong."

Qi Jingyu: "I don't know what's wrong, I hope the teacher will tell me."

Su Yunhe raised the corner of his mouth meaningfully, glanced at Yan Mo lightly over Jing Yu, and reminded: "You ignore the nature of demons."

Qi Jingyu was taken aback for a moment, realizing what he had neglected before.

Before he had time to open his mouth, Su Yunhe said again: "The devil is a collector who wanders between the Yin and Yang realms. If there is no transaction, how can the devil show up so easily? Hehe, after all, not every devil is like a demon." Lord Yan Mo is so leisurely, isn't he?"

"According to what you mean, someone made a deal with you, so you took over Jing Yu's disciple's body." Yan Mo said, "Then what is the deal with you is a demon or a demon? What is the deal? "

As if deliberately showing off the mystery, the demon living in the flesh did not rush to speak, but smiled lowly and curled the corners of his mouth. He licked his lips cunningly, looked at the two people in front of him one by one, and finally decided to meet them. He looked into Jing Yu's eyes and said, "It's Feng Chi."

As soon as these words came out, the other two people present couldn't help being stunned. Qi Jingyu's brows were tightened, and he said in disbelief: "This is impossible! How could Feng Chi put himself on the verge of death in the deal with the devil?!"

Su Yunhe: "What if he made the deal with me when he was about to die?"

Qi Jingyu became silent for a moment when he heard the words, he stared intently at Su Yunhe's face, even piercing through that skin to meet the devil's gaze.

At that moment, the nine-tailed demon fox's eyes that had been silent for thousands of years seemed to set off a tsunami.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Jingyu's clenched fingers trembled and relaxed, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion that was on the verge of explosion, and then said in that calm voice as always: "3000 years ago, Phoenix failed to become a demon. After being devoured by the karmic fire, you said that the deal was concluded when he was going to die, could it be that he knew that the method was wrong and he was going to die?"

"Nine Tails, you have always been an intelligent and sensitive child," Su Yunhe said quietly, "What you can guess is absolutely impossible to be limited to this."

Qi Jingyu's body froze slightly inconspicuously, and his eyes turned cold immediately: "The one who wants to become a demon is not Feng Chi?"

Su Yunhe smiled leisurely, and said casually: "It does look like this."

"It's Chongye..." The name was crushed between his teeth, Qi Jingyu closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then sighed as if talking to himself, "So that's how it is."

Standing aside, Yan Mo frowned slightly. The conversation between the master and the apprentice was like a riddle. He didn't know much about the early conditions of those demons. He could only vaguely know from the conversation that there was something wrong with Qingluan's death. Hidden feelings, the phrase "it turns out to be like this" even more confirmed this guess.

But what is this hidden secret——

Yan Mo looked at Qi Jingyu's face calmly, only feeling that he was really agitated, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Jing Yu..."

"I am fine."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Jingyu suddenly said that he cut off Yan Mo's words. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and the opposite extreme coldness in his eyes.

"Becoming a demon is indeed the best way for high-level monsters to break through their cultivation base. If it is feasible, no monster can resist the temptation of becoming a demon. In addition, Feng Chi's cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and it coincides with the nirvana that the Feng family will suffer for a thousand years. It's approaching... He originally had a cold and aloof personality, and he had extremely strict requirements for cultivation. His desire to become a demon is reasonable even now. So—"

Qi Jingyu took a deep breath: "So I never doubted that Feng Chi's pursuit of the way to become a demon was not out of his own will. I believed Chong Ye too much at that time!"

Speaking of which, everything is clear. Although Yan Mozhi was half an outsider in this matter, he was still shocked when he learned the truth.

"You mean, Qinglong Zhongye is the one who really desires to become a demon. He bewitched Feng Chi's mind 3000 years ago and manipulated him to come and exchange the magic method with me?"

Qi Jingyu didn't answer, but raised his eyes to Su Yunhe and asked, "Is that so?"

Su Yunhe said frankly: "I have no way of knowing too many details, but judging from the fact that Qingluan will trade with me when the soul is scattered, I am afraid that he is really a victim of Qinglong's verification of becoming a demon."

"If that's the case, then what is the content of his deal with you?" After finishing speaking, Yan Mo raised his brows slightly, and before waiting for the other party's answer, he added with a little sarcasm, "For 3000 years, you have clearly been a demon, but you are willing Hiding the body of this monster to be used by the monster dragon, it must have been a big deal with Qingluan at the beginning, right?"

Su Yunhe sneered, his tone was quite calm, and he said: "He is willing to exchange seven souls for the green dragon, so that he will never become a demon or a demon, but will only be reduced to a mortal with a limited lifespan, whose lifespan is like a lamp going out— —" Yan Mo was startled when he heard that, and Su Yunhe continued, "Master Yan Mo, this transaction of dragging the demon emperor into the mortal world with the phoenix soul as a reward is not only not small, but also quite interesting, isn't it?"

Yan Mo was noncommittal, but the way he looked at Su Yunhe changed.

Loud noises came from the surface one after another, causing the walls of this underground passage to crack open precariously.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Yunhe went straight to the gate of the isolated puppet cultivation base, pinched the magic formula with one hand to break the restricted barrier, and then said without looking back: "The half-demon you are looking for should be inside, bring it with you." With him, the new little Qingluan's worries will be over."

After speaking, Su Yunhe turned around and wanted to leave.

In an instant, a very familiar and powerful pressure was like a torrent pouring out, barging in front of him extremely domineeringly.In the darkness, the nine-tailed fox spirit appeared a huge phantom, its tail danced, its whole body glowed with a moon-white cold light, its long and narrow animal eyes narrowed slightly, condescendingly staring down at the man who was close at hand.

As if he had expected that person to stop him, the smile in Su Yunhe's eyes deepened, and he stopped in obedience.

Behind him, Qi Jingyu raised his eyelashes tremblingly, and a dark jade light slowly dissipated from the depths of his pupils.

"Teacher, please stay still, there is something I haven't had time to confirm with you."

"Excuse me." Su Yunhe said.

Qi Jingyu said: "When and by what means did you take Zhu Yan's body for yourself?"

"You really care about this." Su Yunhe smiled clearly, and said, "Hundreds of years ago, Zhu Yan was hunted by the demon master and was seriously injured, but he was lucky enough not to hurt his life. He really wanted to use that opportunity to feign death Afterwards, I returned to Qinglong, but it happened that I also needed a chance to cover up my real body and get close to Qinglong, so I sent him on the road by the way, and kept my body for my own use.”

"Kyuubi, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Qi Jingyu gave a nonchalant "hmm" and said to Yan Mo, "Please trouble Lord Mo Luo to take that child out on behalf of the deity."

After all, the two had been together for a long time, and Yan Mo had a clear understanding of his temperament and temperament. This fox is a veritable high-level monster when he calms down. Let you understand at any time what is called a nine-tailed demon fox who is a disaster.

Master Mo Luo's heart is as clear as a bright mirror, and he said in his heart that at this juncture, there is nothing wrong with the thing that has taken over Zhu Yan's skin, and he insisted on telling the truth about provoking Hu Wei.

Thinking of this, Yan Mo took a step forward calmly, before the word "Jing" could come out from between his teeth, he saw the man with his back impatiently waving his hand, and said concisely: "Go !"

Deeply understanding that "it's useless to talk too much, it's better to let him do what he wants", Master Mo Luo sighed silently in his heart, and then resigned to his fate and went in to pick up the child.

The big deal is to overthrow the East China Sea and avenge that unfilial disciple—Master Mo Luo thought to himself, this aftermath can still be done~ When the footsteps were far away, Su Yunhe maintained the posture of looking up at the nine-tailed fox spirit But when he opened his mouth, he said to the humanity behind him: "Why, Jiuwei is trying to commit a crime?"

"Teacher, you can't say that either." Qi Jingyu said calmly, "That rebel has a double heart towards me, but I will never regret the one who dares to take the life of my disciple!"

……

Above the ground, there was a torrential rain pouring between heaven and earth, the rain was stained scarlet by the demon blood sprinkled all over the sky, the screams stopped abruptly, the puppet's heavy chest and abdomen were torn apart by the dragon's claws, and it fell to the ground with no room to resist.

The five-clawed green dragon swung its tail and turned into a human form, carrying a scale-reversed silver spear and blatantly attacked Xing Yi and Li Huan.

In the blink of an eye, the animal skin scroll was shaken, and the wild dance of the wire manipulated the transformed wolf demon to block the shot with his body.At the same time, the phoenix blood blade was unsheathed, Li Huan clenched the handle of the knife with his backhand and leaped onto the back of the wolf, using the force of his feet to fly into the air again, he waved the blood blade down in the air.

At this moment, the turmoil resounded through the heaven and earth, the buildings collapsed, the ground was torn apart, and figures of people and animals flew out of the gap one after another.

Disturbed, the three of them in the stalemate looked up at the same time.

After a glimpse, Li Huan recognized the other party clearly, and couldn't help shouting: "Teacher!"

Chong Ye thought it was Zhu Yan who had successfully restrained the nine-tailed demon fox, and immediately laughed loudly. With a spear in his hand, the blood line split the chaotic world into two, and the unique fragrance of phoenix blood melted into the rain , spread irresistibly.

"Li Huan!"

In actual combat, the Demon Subduing Master was unable to go deep into the center of the battle situation in person, and Xing Yi's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and the lead wire controlled by his ten fingers tightened along the way.The puppet wolf demon roared and jumped up, opened its bloody mouth, and went straight to bite Chong Ye.

Chongye transformed himself into a green dragon again and rose from the ground. The mighty dragon swept across the old Town God's Temple that was almost razed to ruins.

"The demon subduing master obeys the order!"

Qinglong's thick voice pierced through the clouds and heavy rain.

"This deity has an oath of alliance with the current president, and now the nine-tailed demon fox and the traitors among you have attacked the general meeting for no reason, seriously injuring the president, and causing casualties to mortals! This deity's modern president ordered you to kill the beasts and do justice for the heavens." !"

The sound echoed for a long time, and all the puppet beasts came out for a while.

Li Huan raised his head to meet Qinglong's bewitching pupils, only to hear a voice in his head.

He said, "Now, you have to kill, right?!"
