I'm useless, but my apprentices are all gods who protect others.

"So you have spent nearly twenty years in the secret realm? But from the time I found you missing to the time I found you, it only lasted twenty days." After some pleasantries, Gu Xinzhou asked a few people about the situation in the secret realm.

Gong Boyun teleported Gu Xinzhou to the central city of the Demon Realm. Gu Xinzhou found this place only by asking around, which naturally took a lot of time.

Now that they wanted to teleport back, they had to go back to Central City to find Gong Boyun. Seeing that it was getting late, the five of them set up camp by the river, preparing to rest for the night before going to Central City.

Zhong Yueli and Chu Qiongxin went hunting, while Sheng Yi, Zhong Yueling and Gu Xinzhou chatted around the campfire.

Zhong Yueling responded positively: "It should be caused by the difference in the passage of time in the secret realm and reality. Fortunately, we made the right choice in the end, otherwise we might never come out."

Gu Xinzhou nodded: "I heard that Mirage City needs to 'feed' every year. If no one enters the city for a long time, it will expand on its own until there are living people entering the city."

"As time goes by, the nearby demon clan will regularly select old people from the villages to enter the city to prevent the expansion of the mirage."

Hearing this, Duan Yanyao glanced lazily at the sleeping Meng Mu.

Meng Mu massacred the entire city with his own strength, and Chonglan was burned to ashes with his magic fire. Heaven sent down punishment and tied him and Mirage together to form a secret realm.

If anyone alive enters the city, whether they die as a result of the last choice or from the mouths of strange corpses, they will all be blamed on Meng Mu.

Every time the secret realm is opened by an outsider, Meng Mu's soul will experience the darkest moment again.

In addition, no one has solved the problem for thousands of years, and people continue to die in Meng Mu's secret realm. The evil power eventually returns to Meng Mu himself, causing him to lose his memory. Every time he wakes up, his strength will be weakened, and he will grow smaller and younger, growing in the opposite direction.

Meng Mu is now in the state of a cub. If Cen Wanwan and others die in the secret realm, and Meng Mu retreats again, he may die directly.

When Duan Yanyao and others came to see Cen Wanwan, they all knew that Meng Mu might die early - after all, the Heavenly Master only said that Cen Wanwan was a person of good luck, but did not say what to do to break the punishment from heaven. Meng Mu was the most eager one among them.

Now it seems that there is a certain destiny.

"Then do you still remember how you came here from Miyingsen?" Gu Xinzhou looked at Sheng Yi.

Shenyi added firewood to the bonfire and glanced at Zhong Yueling: "During the assessment, we inexplicably entered a barrier. A fifth-level monster and a ghost tree appeared in the barrier. We were teleported to the devil realm just by approaching the ghost tree."

The formations in the barrier and the ghost tree require pure-blooded demons to open. Shengyi knew the truth, but due to Zhong Yueling's presence, he didn't say much.

The relationship between the Demon Realm and Jiuzhou is subtle. As the number one sect in Jiuzhou, Qingjian Sect discovered formations that can only be used by demons at the assessment site, as well as evil spiritual plants that rely exclusively on parasites. If this was exposed, it would definitely Caused an uproar.

Shengyi didn't want this matter to be publicized.

An experienced formation mage can tell by looking at the formation under the ghost tree that the formation can only be opened by the entry of pure-blooded demons.

This is undoubtedly saying that the new disciples are mixed with demons.

She only found out that she was a demon because she accidentally touched the demon teleportation array. If this matter becomes a big deal, the Green Sword Sect will most likely be driven by public opinion to conduct a thorough investigation of all new disciples. If anything is found, the good intentions will easily become The passive party.

Dare to plant demonic evil things openly in her secret cave, must be related to the senior officials of Qingjian Sect, but I don’t know who is involved in this matter.

Zhuang Yue'er's face flashed in Sheng Yi's mind, and with a little force on her hand, the branch broke.

Now that they have fallen into the Demon Realm, the most anxious people must be the group of people who set up the formation. Maybe they are now discussing how to cover up the fact that there is a large demon formation in the secret assessment realm.

This coincided with her idea of ​​not wanting to make it public.

As for why the ghost tree appeared, Sheng Yi had some clues.

She had previously studied the relationship between fake Wang Kun and fake Lan Sheng and Wang Kun Lan Sheng. Even if the two fakes were not injured, they would continue to absorb the spiritual power of the host. If the spiritual power was exhausted, the host's cultivation level would soon decline. Will go backwards.

If the ghost tree can really absorb cultivation, then the intention of the person who planted it is obvious.

Shengyi plans to find out more after returning.

Hearing this, Gu Xinzhou looked at Sheng Yi. Before he came, Gong Boyun had already told him about the ghost tree and the teleportation array. Not to mention that the new students might have mixed into the demon clan, but the master's cave secret realm was planted with demon territory. Gu Xinzhou could imagine how unhappy Shenyi would be.

Gu Xinzhou hesitated to speak, but finally fell silent.

While they were talking, Zhong Yueli and Chu Qiongxin came back dragging a wild boar.

Several people have formed a tacit understanding in the division of labor. Zhong Yueling went to collect the water, and Sheng Yi dragged the wild boar and prepared to slice it. Upon seeing this, Gu Xinzhou immediately stood up and wanted to take over Sheng Yi's work.

Gu Xinzhou: "I'll do it." He was also polite: "Cut it thinly."

Gu Xinzhou nodded: "Okay."

Zhong Yueli was busy mixing the seasonings for the barbecue, while Chu Qiongxin was resting aside. Zhong Yueling came back with the water and watched Shenyi directing Gu Xinzhou to work. They exchanged glances with each other. They were surprised and found it very strange.

It seemed that the rumors were just rumors after all, and Gu Xinzhou was quite easy to get along with.

Sheng Yi sat across from Gu Xinzhou, looked at Gu Xinzhou's familiar yet unfamiliar features, and sighed softly.

The reason why Shengyi didn't meet his three direct disciples immediately after his rebirth was because he was too poor and conditions didn't allow for it when he first woke up, but he felt that the three of them had already learned enough and could let go.

Her master Qing Daozi once kicked her out after she finished her studies. After that, the master and apprentice had no contact with each other until Qing Daozi failed to ascend and notified Sheng Yi to see him for the last time before he died.

It was fate to meet and become master and disciple, but there are so many roads in the world, and in the end, you still have to walk on your own. Sheng Yi knew that she was only accompanying them for a part of the journey, so she acquiesced not to interfere in their lives after becoming a master.

Seeing Gu Xinzhou hesitate to speak, Sheng Yi looked at it and felt somewhat complicated.

Shenyi started to ask for words: "After you learned that we were in danger, you came here by yourself?"

Gu Xinzhou paused and said, "Yeah."

Sheng Yi frowned. After so many years, Gu Xinzhou's habit of being alone has not changed.

Even if he is usually withdrawn, it would be too reckless to come to their rescue alone without even knowing what their situation is.

Kindly: "You don't even know what's going on in the Demon Realm, so you come here alone? What if the situation is particularly difficult? At least bring a few more people here. If something goes wrong, you can still..."

Before she finished her kind words, Zhong Yueling stuffed a spiritual fruit into her mouth, and took her away while stuffing it: "Elder, don't mind, A Yin is caring about you, but her words are a bit rude, she will go anywhere. Well, it’s just that it’s easy to talk and neither big nor small.”

Gu Xinzhou was stunned. He understood what Sheng Yi meant. After hearing Master's lesson again after so many years, he wished Shenyi could say more, but he didn't know that Zhong Yueling interrupted him mid-sentence.

Are you talking big or small? Master?

Gu Xinzhou didn't react for a moment.

Then he saw the most ridiculous scene in his life.

Zhong Yueli, who has always been gentle, also felt that it was a bit offensive for Sheng Yi to talk to an elder like this, so he followed Zhong Yueling to surround Sheng Yi, and by the way, he took Chu Qiongxin with him, and the three of them talked small talk around Sheng Yi.

Zhong Yueling: "Ayin, don't always be so insignificant. He is an elder of the Qingjian Sect. He has come all the way to see us. Why are you teaching him so well?"

Kindness: "I..."

Zhong Yueling said seriously: "Elder Gu is an elder, so you must be polite, you know?"

Chu Qiongxin whispered to Sheng Yi: "If you really don't like him, tell me secretly behind my back that we can't beat him now. If you have some words, we can wait until we have strength in the future..."

The more the two brothers listened, the more something was wrong. They both looked at Chu Qiongxin and Zhong Yueling: "Why are you going further and further?!"

Chu Qiongxin didn't care at all: "What's wrong with Kuangdian? Ayin can do whatever he wants."

Zhong Yueling frowned: "Just spoil her! Kuang Kuang Kuang, she dares not take it seriously any day when the Immortal Lord stands in front of her. What if she keeps getting beaten like this?!"

Zhong Yueling looked at Sheng Yi: "Be polite to your elders, remember?"

Kindness:…

Zhong Yueling refused to give up: "The teacher selection meeting has not been held yet. Master doesn't know if the four of us can still get together before the selection. We can't always help you make up for it. You will suffer a loss if you talk like this! No! Pretend to be quail and speak quickly.”

Sheng Yi was silent: "I understand."

The two brothers talked to her a few more words, and seeing her kindness and attitude, they let her go and let her go to the river to fetch water.

Shengyi carried the bucket and left under Gu Xinzhou's shocked eyes.

Sheng Yi: ...She hates this absurd world.
