He Ming found that something was wrong with his master's reaction, and he was a little confused for a moment.

"Master...what's wrong with you?"

Xun Shan came to his senses in an instant, but his hands were still trembling and he couldn't help but grab He Ming's wrist.

The force was so strong that He Ming frowned, "Hiss... Master, what are you doing? What's wrong?"

He wanted to break away but failed, and Punishment, who always loved his apprentice, did not reduce his intensity. He only pulled the person closer to him, and said in a somewhat urgent tone, "What did you say her name was?"

This was the first time Heming saw his master acting so rude. He hesitated and did not dare to ask any more questions. He only repeated honestly, "...Lu Sangjiu."

"Lu Sangjiu..." Xun Shan repeated, and then asked, "Which words are they?"

He Ming was a little embarrassed, "I don't know about this, and I didn't ask."

Xunshan was a little disappointed, but he continued to ask without giving up, "Tell me all the details after you met her. Be quick, be careful, and do everything down to the smallest detail!"

He Ming vaguely felt that something was wrong with his master's reaction. Why did he seem to be... meeting an acquaintance?

That shouldn't be the case. Lu Sangjiu is so young, how could he be an acquaintance of the master?

However, He Ming still said everything, carefully and without any mistakes.

"...So, she knew about You Moxiang, but she didn't fall for it. She had good intentions towards you from the beginning and sincerely helped the demon cultivator."

Xun Shan's voice was a little dry, and the almost absurd idea kept swirling in his mind. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but... what if?

Seeing that he was stunned, He Ming thought for a while and then added, "Master, her age is not false. At such a young age... I don't think she is someone you know, right?"

Xun Shan didn't say anything, but he was retorting in his heart. If she didn't die, there must have been some kind of adventure, maybe... seizing her body? Or maybe something else?

In short, there are too many possibilities, and even if the hope is slim, he does not want to ignore this possibility.

Taking a deep breath, Xunshan stood up and said, "Master, I will go to Jackdaw Gate for a visit. You can wait here for news."

He Ming became a little anxious when he heard this, "Master, can I go with you?"

He was really worried about Lu Sangjiu's safety. It would be painful for him to wait here.

However, Xunshan shook his head, his expression more solemn than ever before, "This matter... I need to go alone."

After saying that, Xun Shan had already fled away without giving He Ming a chance to speak.

He Ming opened his mouth, but in the end he could only murmur to the empty sky, "...but it must be okay."

Too many things happened that night, and it was already the next morning when Xu Shan arrived at Jackdaw Gate.

He suddenly appeared at the gate, alerting many guards until someone recognized him, "...Master of the Tomb of Gods Sect?!"

The tone was one of surprise and disbelief.

Everyone knows that although the Divine Tomb Sect and the Jackdaw Sect seem to be peaceful and happy, with each being their own king, the masters of the two sides are at odds with each other.

Some people even think that the two have not seen each other for so many years because they are afraid that they will start fighting if they meet.

When two powerful powers in the combined stage fight, it will be a huge scene of destruction. The two of them are completely contributing to world peace.

However, today, the leader of the Divine Tomb Sect seems to be no longer prepared to contribute... Is he prepared to perish with everyone else?

For a moment, everyone's faces could not help but be filled with fear and uneasiness. However, Xun Shan did not even look at them, but his eyes seemed to have crossed the pavilions and were fixed on a certain place in the distance.

His voice was calm, and he spoke directly to Cang Ming, "Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

The guards were a little confused. They didn't dare to speak for a while, and they didn't dare to give way, until a voice came from the distance, which was very familiar to them.

"Let him in."

"It's the sect master!"

The guards all heard Cang Ming's voice and looked at each other. Although they were still a little nervous, they still obediently moved out of the way.

Only then did Xun Shan raise his head and glance at the gate... In fact, the other places had not changed much from before, except that the three magnificent characters "Yuexia Palace" were changed to "Jackdaw Gate".

Even the change of name gives people a desolate feeling that things are different and people are different.

After all, this place is no longer the place she built with her own hands to bring hope to the chaotic Western Demonic Territory again.

After so many years, Xun Shan has actually looked away, but now she can't help but think... If she really comes back, how will she feel when she sees all this?

Is it disappointment for them, or hatred, or is it a desire to get it all back?

It's probably the latter. Her temper has always been the fiercest and craziest. How could she be willing to watch the foundation she built being occupied by others?

With random thoughts in his mind, Xunshan stepped into the Jackdaw Gate.

The guards didn't even see clearly. They only felt that he took one step forward, and the next moment his figure was already far away, and then he took another step and was completely invisible.

"This..." The guards were subconsciously worried and wanted to say something.

But the guard captain next to him, who recognized Xun Shan, was obviously more sensible, "Don't worry, the master is here, nothing will go wrong. He will guard your door honestly."

After appeasing the others, he couldn't help but cast a distant glance in the direction of the sect master's courtyard with complicated eyes.

I always feel that... the Western Demonic Territory, which has been stable for hundreds of years, may be in chaos again.

However, this kind of thing has always been decided by the big shots. Small people like him don't need to worry unfoundedly. They just need to guard the door.

When Xun Shan came to Cang Ming's yard, he was watering the flowers.

The plants in the Western Demonic Region are different from those outside. The plants outside rely on spiritual energy to grow, but the flowers in the Western Demonic Region require magical energy.

Therefore, even the plants are not very pleasing to the eye. The pot that Cang Ming is watering has a small dark green stem with dark green leaves, and a dark red flower in bud is pressed on it. Huaguduo.

It looked normal, but when Cang Ming's water was poured on it, the flower bone suddenly cracked open, like a bloody mouth opening upwards, and it even seemed to have fine teeth inside.

Like a nestling bird waiting to be fed, its mouth has grown, accepting the irrigation from the owner, swallowing every drop of water in its mouth, then smacking its lips with satisfaction, and returning to peace.

But Cang Ming looked at it calmly, and even said with a bit of doting, "Do you like drinking so much? Then let someone prepare more for you next time."

It just... looks totally weird.

Xun Shan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and a word appeared in his mind involuntarily... Dong Shi Xiao Feng.
