In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

"Logically speaking, it's a matter of Tiannan's safety, so Wei shouldn't refuse. But my energy was severely damaged after the battle with the ancient demon, and I urgently need to continue to retreat for recuperation. I hope fellow Taoist Lu will forgive me." Wei Wuya hesitated for a moment, and said with a look of shame on his face.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wei is injured, how dare Lu dare to force it?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Daoist Lu." Wei Wuya cupped his hands, then turned to look at the Mulan group.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Zhong, if you are willing to drag your injured body and follow Fellow Daoist Lu, Wei will also go with you."

"Zhong Mou has obtained the treasure, and I don't want to get involved in your affairs in Tiannan. Farewell!" The Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong recalled the remaining incarnation into his body and left with a group of Mulan magicians.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you still need to be careful about this group of Mulan people. He can summon you this time, and he might even use this to set up an ambush in the future." Wei Wuya glanced at the backs of the Mulan people with cold eyes and warned in a low voice.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei, for reminding me. I will be careful. But even if they really dare to do this, why should Lu be afraid?"

"Fellow Taoist, don't be careless. The man named Zhong got a new ancient treasure in Falling Demon Valley, called the 'Heaven-Splitting Sword'. It's so powerful that I even feel it has the power to kill a great monk."

"Heaven-Splitting Sword?" When Lu Yuan heard this name, he felt extraordinary.

"Well, before you came, this knife almost hit the ancient demon hard."

"Then you really have to be careful." Lu Yuan nodded.

"But fellow Taoist, you don't need to worry too much. I think they have quite a few restrictions on how to summon you, and they also seem to have requirements for distance. In the future, as long as you stay in the Tiandao Alliance and practice quietly, don't go deep into the Mulan people easily. It shouldn't be a big problem." Wei Wuya said seriously.

"Lu will bear in mind the words of my fellow Taoist!" Lu Yuan bowed his hand to Wei Wuya solemnly.

"Then Wei will take his leave."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please."

With Wei Wuya taking the lead, the other old monsters quickly said hello and left.

"Friend Lu Dao, I have to thank you for saving my life this time. Otherwise, I will not be able to escape this disaster." Ancestor Linghu and Leng Yue came hand in hand. They cupped their hands and said extremely politely.

As for Leng Yue, because she had an affair with Lu Yuan in the past, she was a bit embarrassed, so now she could only force a smile and thank her in the same way:

"I would also like to thank fellow Taoist for your great kindness!"

To be honest, in Lu Yuan's eyes, Leng Yue, who usually had a frosty face, looked extremely cool. But now when she smiles, she has a different charm.

"Concubine? Are you really a married woman?" Lu Yuan suddenly said this without any clue.

"You?" Leng Yue's smile suddenly stopped, and her face was filled with shame and anger. She turned around and flicked her sleeves.

"Farewell!"

"Yeah?" Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment.

"Friend Lu Dao, your words are a bit hurtful." Ancestor Linghu saw Leng Yue disappearing in a blink of an eye, so he hurriedly came over.

"how to say?"

"As far as I know, although Leng Yue was born in the Hidden Moon Sect, because of his Yuehua body, he did not practice the dual cultivation methods in his sect.

In addition, she was very proud of herself and always looked down on male cultivators who were not as good as her. So up to now, I have never married and am still a virgin.

Wei Lichen, who was originally from Huayi Sect, initially proposed that he wanted to practice dual cultivation with Leng Yue. As a result, Leng Yue didn't like Wei Lichen, but because of the power of Huayi Sect, she sent fellow Taoist Nangong out. "

"Is this happening?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"I've known you for so long, how many times have I ever lied to you?"

"What you said is true, but didn't you cheat Han Li?"

"It's an old story, why do fellow Taoists keep mentioning it.

Let's just say that Leng Yue was already famous all over the world hundreds of years ago during the Yue Kingdom, when he was still in the elixir formation stage.

Regardless of appearance or cultivation talent, she is second to none among the female cultivators in Tiannan, and she has fascinated many cultivators.

If it hadn't been for the great elder of the Hidden Moon Sect at that time who was so powerful and spoke cruel words to protect him, he would have been kidnapped by someone with intentions long ago. "What Ancestor Linghu said was like having a nose and eyes, and there was even something strange in his eyes.

"Hey, to be honest, did you also covet Leng Yue back then?" Lu Yuan squinted at Ancestor Linghu.

"Well...it was back then, and now that you, fellow Daoist Lu, have taken a liking to you. In order to repay the favor of saving me today, I am willing to show my old face and help you win over." Ancestor Linghu was exposed by Lu Yuan. , not only was he not embarrassed, but he talked about matchmaking without blushing or heartbeat.

"How can this be done?" Lu Yuan sighed, but his hand couldn't help but touch his chin. He was really thinking about it.

After experiencing Nei Gu's almost death, Lu Yuan felt even more. Life is not easy. If you can, why not pursue some pleasure-seeking activities from time to time?

"We monks are already going against nature, so why bother suppressing our original intention. Even if Fellow Daoist Lu has the intention, then just try, otherwise how can we understand it?

Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. "

"Yeah! Yeah!" Lu Yuan paused.

"Fellow Taoist still misunderstood Lu. Now I just want to return to the inner valley as soon as possible to rescue my fellow disciples. If you really want to repay your kindness, you might as well come with me."

"This won't work. My magical powers are far inferior to those of my Taoist friends. If I can't help, but I end up harming my fellow Taoists, wouldn't it be a good intention to do bad things." Ancestor Linghu waved his hands repeatedly, sneering secretly in his heart. He can really put on a show.

Not only Ancestor Linghu, but also the phantom they couldn't see. The originally indifferent face also showed a hint of contempt for Lu Yuan.

"Tch!" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at Ancestor Linghu, and then his demonic aura changed, revealing his Suanni demon body.

After a long whistle, he went straight to the inner valley.

Ancestor Linghu was startled and looked at Lu Yuan's back for a long time. He sighed secretly in his heart and couldn't help but feel jealous.

The other party has such magical powers at such a young age, and his future cultivation path is really limitless!

At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart. It seemed that I had done the right thing by showing my kindness to Lu Yuan several times.

With Lu Yuan's shock in the future, no matter how great the disaster the Yellow Maple Valley encounters, it should be able to protect itself within a thousand years.

"But if you want to completely get close to this great god, it's best to promote a good relationship between him and Leng Yue. This guy is so sanctimonious in what he says, but he may be really greedy in his heart!" Ancestor Linghu pondered for a moment, feeling annoyed. Er said.

"Among the younger generation of Nascent Soul cultivators, there are very few who are not only stronger than Leng Yue, but also on par with her. Looking at Tiannan, Han Li and this boy are the only ones.

Han Lisheng's dark appearance was incomparable to Lu Yuan's. If you include my sharp tongue, I should have a 70% chance of success. "Ancestor Linghu said to himself, while looking at the direction Leng Yue was leaving, he chased after her.

......

In the sky above Falling Demon Valley, a golden escaping light flew like lightning and headed straight towards the inner valley.

Lu Yuan did not dare to delay, because Brother Tiezi was still in a coma and Brother Cheng had exhausted his true energy. If something unexpected happened, the two of them would be in trouble.

As for the fact that no one else was willing to follow him, it was within his expectation.

The reason why he revealed that there were high-level ancient demons in the inner valley and vaguely said that Taichu and others were dead was to make those old monsters afraid.

Otherwise, when they saw that the ancient demon had been frightened away before they even took action, they would definitely suspect that Neigu had a great opportunity.

If another idiot like the Ghost Spirit Sect comes out and releases the one inside, then he will no longer be able to live a stable life in Tiannan in the future.

Just one day later, Lu Yuan had crossed the restriction outside the inner valley. Looking around, a few bean-sized black spots loomed on the horizon, where the altar should be.

After avoiding the dense space cracks, Lu Yuan finally approached the altar.

"Senior brother!" A voice shouted in surprise from below.

Brother Tiezi and Brother Cheng were on the steps outside an altar, waving to Lu Yuan.

"You're awake, how do you feel?" After some twists and turns, Lu Yuan also landed next to the altar.

"I'm okay, it's just Senior Brother Cheng..." Brother Tiezi's voice was low. If he hadn't insisted on entering the Demonic Valley, such a thing would not have happened.

"Junior Brother Zhang, don't be sad. Now that Junior Brother Lu has returned safely, we should be happy."

"And I know that with Junior Brother Lu's magical power, nothing will happen." Senior Brother Cheng chuckled.

"What can happen to me, but those guys in the outer valley are in bad luck." Lu Yuan pursed his lips, and then slowly told the story about the ancient demon being released from the Ghost Spirit Sect.

"What? An ancient demon also appeared in the outer valley?" Brother Tiezi and the other two looked surprised.

"Although the realm is not as good as the one we met, it is still very powerful. Many Yuanying monks have been swallowed alive by them..." Lu Yuan continued.

When it was mentioned that Han Li was also swallowed up by the space crack, it made Brother Tiezi and his brother worried for a while.

"I can be safe and sound, and he can't be any worse? Maybe there will be some opportunity that will pop up one day." Lu Yuan said with relief.

After hearing this, Brother Tiezi and Senior Brother Cheng could only look helpless.

In the end, the remaining ancient demon was accidentally frightened away by Lu Yuan, and everyone made some guesses, but there was no substantial result.

"The matter of the ancient demon has caused headaches for the three monks. Now there is not much danger in the outer valley. Let's go for a walk and see if we can find some elixirs to extend the life of Senior Brother Cheng." Lu Yuan stood up and said to the two of them said.

Brother Tiezi had no objection to this. Although Senior Brother Cheng did not want Lu Yuan and the two to take risks again, now that he no longer had the right to speak, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"In that case, let's set off immediately!" Lu Yuan was not polite and was about to set off as soon as he escaped from the light.

But at this moment, a strange man's voice sounded.

"Wait, don't you ask my opinion?"

"who!"

"Come out!" Lu Yuan and the other three people's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they couldn't help but shouted with fear in their hearts.

Lu Yuan even opened his consciousness to the maximum, trying to find out who made the noise or what was unusual.

If Lu Yuan can be prevented from finding out, this person's cultivation is absolutely outstanding.

"No need to look for it, I'm with you."

Then in the astonished gazes of the three people, a piece of yellow light flew out from Lu Yuan's body, and inside it was wrapped something that looked particularly familiar to Lu Yuan.

It was actually the jade pendant stolen from Gu Xiu.

"Who is your Excellency?" Lu Yuan's golden blades flew out of his body and he became alert.

Brother Tiezi also directly took out the Innate Five Elements Flag, and the demonic wind rolled out.

"Hey, it's actually a companion magic weapon. It seems to be born from one body with that golden gourd. No wonder."

"There is also the Innate Five Elements Flag, but unfortunately it is an imitation. You are quite wealthy. Are you descendants of the ancient cultivators who were ordered to guard here?" The man's voice continued to come from the jade pendant. But in just a few words, the details of Lu Yuan's magic weapon were revealed.

Especially the words of the descendants of the ancient cultivators behind them made them look at each other in shock as if they were struck by lightning.

The descendant he mentioned couldn't be the old ghost from Taichu, right?

"And that little guy, don't mess around with your body, or you may risk your life." This time the man was talking about Senior Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng's spiritual light flashed slightly at this moment, and he was about to sacrifice his life to sacrifice the magic weapon.

But after the man said "little guy", the spiritual energy that he had finally gathered almost collapsed. His chest was rising and falling, and he was so angry that he almost spurted out blood.

He, Cheng Tiankun, has lived for a thousand years and is a dignified elder of Luoyun Sect. He is aloof and respected by tens of thousands of disciples in the sect.

Even if he bumped into the three major monks, the other party would have to call him "fellow Taoist" on the scene.

How could I not be angry when being called a little guy by a stranger now.

"Which senior is your Excellency? Why don't you show up and meet him?" Lu Yuan vaguely guessed that the other party is most likely a monk who crossed over from the spiritual world back then.

"Show me? This is what you asked for." The voice in the jade pendant was full of ridicule.

Then large strands of yellow clouds rolled out, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of a man condensed.

But as the man's figure solidified, Lu Yuan and the others felt as if all their magic power had disappeared, and they instantly collapsed on the ground.

Especially Lu Yuan, he was originally on the path of body refining, and his spiritual energy had already been refined into his flesh and blood.

Even if the mana is gone, the physical body is still strong.

But now, he was shocked to find out. His body was so soft that he couldn't exert any strength, not even as good as a mortal.

"This..." Lu Yuan was frightened and quickly understood that the problem was with the man, and quickly looked up.

It didn't matter, Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically again.

Not only him, Brother Tiezi and Senior Brother Cheng were also shocked and speechless after seeing the man's condensed appearance.

Because this person looks exactly the same as the ancient cultivator whose body was taken away by the ancient demon in Lingmiao Garden!

"You are the one inside, the one--"

"What, don't you know how to address others by their names?" The man looked at the three of them sideways and said with a straight face.

"Senior, we really don't know your name." Brother Tiezi felt a little aggrieved.

"If you don't know, why don't you ask?"

"Senior, please tell me your name!" Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he felt that this person didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so he quickly replied obediently.

"Well, since you asked, I have no choice but to tell you..." At this time, the man's face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Lu Yuan was confused for a while. Isn't this what you asked?

"I, in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, should have no regrets!" The man looked at Lu Yuan and the others with pride.

"I've met Senior Ying!" Brother Tiezi and Senior Brother Cheng were stunned for a moment, although they had never heard of such a person. But if someone has a big fist, he will naturally not dare to be disrespectful to him.

Unlike them, Lu Yuan's reaction was a beat slower because he was attracted by the "Heavenly Spirit Realm" mentioned by the man.

Could it be that this person comes from the Heavenly Spirit Realm, one of the three human realms in the spiritual world?

"Is this the end?" The man frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the three people's performance.

Lu Yuan and the other three looked stunned. Is there something wrong with this man's brain? Could it be that he wants the three of them to knock him again?

Seeing that Lu Yuan and the others were still in a daze, the man looked a little impatient. He puffed up his chest and said again: "I, Ying Wuhui! Under the command of the Spiritual Emperor, one of the three major commanders in charge of one hundred thousand spiritual guards!"

However, Senior Brother Cheng and Brother Tiezi still looked at each other with big eyes. They didn't understand anything about the Spirit Emperor's Spirit Guards.
