The one who arrived was Qian Ying's clone. Qian Ying's true body was currently in Baiye City.
Liu Tianyun and Li Tingyun had tricked the orthodox cultivators. At first, they led the orthodox cultivators to believe that the decisive battle would be held at Qunyu Mountain. Later, they had Ao Ming Demon Lord lead a thousand Deity Transformation cultivators to appear at Qianlian Sea, making the orthodox cultivators think they had suddenly changed their minds and intended to go all out to attack Qianlian Sea. In the end, it was still a feint, and they turned to attack Baiye City, which was not far from Qunyu Mountain.
However, what the two did not expect was that while they were scheming, the orthodox cultivators were also planning. Therefore, Qian Ying had not brought her disciples to Qianlian Sea at all. It was also a feint, and she turned to ambush Baiye City, providing support to Lin Qingyu and the others.
It could be said that the entire orthodox-demon war was becoming increasingly deadlocked. However, not long ago, Bai Shengyi and Qin Si captured Li Tingyun alive, which had torn a hole in this stalemate.
Qian Ying's clone, like her true body, was fiery and spirited, like a blazing and bright sun. Her beautiful eyes were tilted upwards, and she unceremoniously asked again, "Master, Qin Si, where is my junior sister?"
Where was her little junior sister?
Why hadn't she seen her?
"Inside." Qinglan saw that Qian Ying was about to walk into the house as soon as she heard. Qinglan immediately waved her sleeve, and a wispy green mist gently blocked her path.
Qian Ying looked up in confusion, "Master?"
Qinglan said, "Ayi is treating Fellow Daoist Yue. Don't go in, lest you disturb them."
"Them?" Qian Ying crossed her arms, her gaze swept over Qin Si, then Qinglan, and she teasingly asked with unknown meaning, "Who? Master, you are also a ninth-tier alchemist. Why aren't you together?"
Qin Si glanced at her coldly.
Qian Ying's smile vanished. "I see. It must be Daoist Zhuxiao, right? Zhuxiao Daoist is indeed unparalleled in spiritual energy revival. It seems they won't be coming out anytime soon. The battle at Baiye City is still ongoing, so I'll be going back first."
She finished speaking hastily and left as quickly as she had arrived. Her figure leaped through the air, already leaving afterimages.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere between Qin Si and Qinglan became awkward again.
However, Qin Si soon thought of something.
He released Li Tingyun, who was tightly bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, and the ancient demonic beast.
"Martial Uncle, look, is this ancient demonic beast a bit unusual?"
...
The Far West Region.
Few people came here, and it was not well-known. However, as the ranks of demonic cultivators grew, more and more demonic cultivators roamed the continent. Through the exchange of various news, this place was no longer mysterious.
Especially in recent years, the main force of the demonic cultivators from the Thousand Demon Pavilion was stationed nearby, waiting like a hunter for demonic cultivators to emerge. For every one that came out, they would be dealt with. Over time, the entrances and exits of the Far West Region were actually occupied by the Thousand Demon Pavilion, and the Far West Region was no longer the stronghold of demonic cultivators.
However, there were still many demonic cultivators residing in the depths of the Far West Region.
For example, at this moment, under the dim sky, in the sunken valley, a man in black lay on the ground, a mocking smile on his face.
"I knew who wanted to see this venerable one, it's you. Tang Qiao, what wind blew you here?"
As Liu Tianyun spoke, the red lotus between his eyebrows bloomed vibrantly. It was evident that although he spoke nonchalantly, he was extremely wary of Tang Qiao in his heart.
He then asked, "Eh? Why are you alone today? Where is Yue Jun? He's not with you?"
It was not that Liu Tianyun asked this question. Anyone who had been to Yingwu Continent knew that Yue Jun was inseparable from Tang Qiao, keeping a close eye on her.
Tang Qiao's expression was very stern from the moment she appeared before him. After Liu Tianyun finished speaking, Tang Qiao's expression became even colder, even somewhat terrifying.
This was truly strange.
Having known this woman for so many years, this was the first time he had seen her harbor such intense hatred.
Liu Tianyun's wicked nature surged within him, and he curved his lips, "What's wrong? Could it be that Yue Jun is dead..."
Before the word "dead" was even finished, he saw a whip whistling through the air!
"Shut up!" Tang Qiao shouted angrily.
The whip struck without mercy, but Liu Tianyun was prepared and calmly blocked it.
A cold, indifferent smile played on his sinister face. "What? Did I hit a nerve? It seems Yue Jun is indeed dead. How gratifying."
He had suffered a lot at the hands of these two before.
Thinking of this, Liu Tianyun couldn't help but laugh heartily.
He really wanted to know who exactly had made Yue Jun suffer such a great loss.
However, as usual, Tang Qiao would tell him soon.
"Shut up!" Tang Qiao glared fiercely at Liu Tianyun, "I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?"
In her pure eyes, there was only clear killing intent, as if as long as Liu Tianyun said "no," she would immediately strike and kill him.
Liu Tianyun naturally did not want to fight with Tang Qiao, this perverted madwoman. He raised his eyebrows, "Alright, I'll shut up."
He truly stopped talking.
Tang Qiao also calmed down.
As she calmed down, she saw the gray threads overflowing from Liu Tianyun's body. That was the aura of the Prison Nymph King's daughter.
Tang Qiao's brows immediately furrowed. "Why are you still associating with these filthy things?"
It was no wonder that both she and Yue Jun looked down on Liu Tianyun. Although they were also considered the master's offspring, and the master had not acknowledged them, Liu Tianyun was truly inferior to Young Master Mo.
Liu Tianyun's expression turned cold. "If you're going to talk such nonsense, you can get lost."
Tang Qiao sneered, "If I leave, your plans in Shenqi will definitely not succeed. Then, how will you explain to the master? Don't forget, because you privately attacked the orthodox sects in the Shenqi world, the master is already extremely displeased with you."
Liu Tianyun's face darkened.
Of course, he did not forget.
In fact, his good father was not merely displeased; he had directly descended with immortal pressure and given him a "small lesson" – by crippling one of his hands.
If it weren't for that, the first thing he should have done after coming out of seclusion would have been to kill Qin Si.
Thinking of this, Liu Tianyun rotated his left wrist. The injury on his wrist had clearly healed, but he could still vaguely feel the intense pain.
He lowered his gaze and let out a meaningless laugh, "Why do you think this venerable one will fail? Just you wait, it won't be long."
His tone was somewhat smug. He had not yet contacted the major demon lords and demonic cultivator teams outside. At this moment, he was thinking that the cultivation world would never imagine that he and Li Tingyun would feint and use Baiye City as the breakthrough point for the entire decisive battle.
"Tch!" Tang Qiao sneered unceremoniously, pointing out, "You don't even know you have a Charm Seeker Worm on you, and you still want to succeed?"
"What?"
Liu Tianyun's face sank, and then his expression became extremely ugly. He quickly checked himself and, sure enough, on a budding red lotus on his black robe collar, he found a small bug that was almost integrated with the black satin of the robe.
Liu Tianyun crushed the bug.
With a "puff," the bug turned into a wisp of ethereal blue flame and flew towards the distant horizon. Looking as far as the eye could see, it was heading in the direction of Shenqi Mountain.
Liu Tianyun understood everything at once and gritted his teeth, "Qin! Si!"
