There has never been a shortage of guests in the Nine Shades Pagoda, and a large part of them are all powerful existences that treat the magic crystal as nothing, so there is a high roller on the eighth layer, and the high-roller who has been cultivating for a long time can only attract a small wave of attention, and then it will calm down.

You must know that this is the famous Nine Shadows Tower, which is an abyssal demon king-level existence, and has received many of them. In comparison, a high-roller on the eighth layer is nothing, and coupled with the daily busyness, he will naturally be left behind soon.

Of course, another important reason is that the Nightmare Clan is strong enough, even if the old king falls and the new king does not come out, their strength is still strong enough to be proud of the abyss, and they have enough confidence to be proud.

But there was one person who noticed Qin Yu's existence, that is, the eighth layer of the Nine Shadows Pagoda, his whole body was hidden under the black robe, and he once laughed at Qin Yu's Guardian Demon Clan fiercely about men's affairs.

The last time he saw Qin Yu was ten days ago, which means that he had not left for ten consecutive days.

The soul refining power of the eighth layer of the Nine Shadows Pagoda has a certain amount of pressure on the Demon Shuai Rank, and even he can't cultivate for ten consecutive days.

Among them, it is necessary to suspend rest, otherwise the soul refining power accumulated in the body will gradually increase, and it will eventually exceed the limit of bearing.

Death is not dead, but shedding a few layers of skin is inevitable.

But Qin Yu had been cultivating for ten consecutive days.

This is a little secret of his own, lingering on the eighth layer all the year round, I don't know when it started, the town guard demon clan found that there was a faint connection between himself and the Nine Shades Pagoda.

Of course, this connection was not enough to do anything, and he could not even interfere with the opening and closing of a door.

Ahem, take a step back and say, even if he could do it, he would never be stupid enough to try.

The strength of the Nightmare Clan, the Demon Clan is very clear, although they think they are strong, but if they really do something out of the ordinary in the Nine Shades Tower, then death is not far away.

It's a bit far away, in short, the appearance of this wonderful connection is the secret of the heart of the Demon Clan, and it has never been confided in anyone—that is, he can vaguely feel the approximate flow of soul refining power inside the Nine Shadows Tower.

It was precisely because of this that he was sure that Qin Yu had cultivated for ten consecutive days without stopping.

All aside, this alone is amazing enough.

At least, after so many years in the Nine Shades Pagoda, the Demon Guardian Clan has never seen someone who can cultivate for so long.

Squinting his eyes, in the mind of the eighth-layer town guard demon clan, Qin Yu's figure subconsciously appeared, as well as the feeling of jealousy when they met for the first time.

Because of this, he took the initiative to speak, but Qin Yu's performance later allowed him to overturn his guess.

But now it seems that he is probably gone, this inconspicuous boy is definitely a very remarkable character.

Judging from the current movements, the Nightmare Clan obviously did not realize this, otherwise they should have sent someone to contact them a long time ago and strive to establish a relatively good relationship with the other party.

After all, even the Nightmare Clan has never given up, weaving in the abyss, a powerful and precious enough connection.

From the perspective of the Demon Clan, Qin Yu definitely has it, and the Nightmare Clan values the qualifications.

Although he has been stationed on the eighth floor of the Nine Shadows Tower all the year round, he has no relationship with the Nightmare Clan, and the relationship is too close, strictly speaking, the two sides are just a cooperative relationship.

He had no obligation and no mood to remind the Nightmare Clan, but now in his mind, he couldn't help but have a thought - can he get a continuous cultivation method from Qin Yu's hands?

If he succeeds, his cultivation speed will skyrocket, enough to save a lot of time.

After all, there is not much time left for him to prepare.

Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, the demon clan subconsciously raised his head and looked somewhere in the direction of the top of his head. In that small courtyard, there was an old guy waiting to die, although the other party hadn't completely given up, but to be honest, he wasn't optimistic.

The Demon Clan didn't want to be reduced to such a miserable and pitiful state in a few years.

However, what should be done? The Demon Guardian Clan knew very well that no matter how Qin Yu did it, it must involve his secrets, and it would not be easy to obtain this ability.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be able to guard the demon clan, and he would have some unfriendly thoughts, after all, after living for so many years, he didn't know how much he should have done and what he shouldn't do.

Otherwise, these countless years of waves and sands, those people back then would not have been, only he can live to this day.

But for Qin Yu, to be honest, he can't see through it, so this can only be the worst strategy, and he won't use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

This huge abyss, not to mention what a "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" can describe, a careless person may lose his life.

The older you get, the more cautious you become, not because you have become less courageous, but because you have seen enough wind and rain and have full awe of the world.

Qin Yu, who drilled into the eighth layer of the Nine Shadows Pagoda and concentrated all his energy on cultivation, didn't know that he thought he was low-key enough, except for some accidents with that little girl, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary at all, and he was still being targeted.

Otherwise, he would definitely be unable to help but sigh, we also want to be low-key, but the strength does not allow it!

And just when Qin Yu was cultivating wholeheartedly, guarding the demon clan on the eighth layer, and worrying about how to get the "cultivation weapon" from his hands, the already prosperous Efeng City gradually became more lively.

It is said to be "lively", not only because more and more demons are constantly gathering here. And between these demons, there have been at least hundreds of conflicts, large and small.

Although the brains that didn't hit splashed flesh and bones, it also turned the entire Efeng City into a pot of rotten porridge that kept tumbling.

As I said before, Efeng Town guards the Nightmare Ancestral Land, backed by the super tree of the Nightmare Clan, if it is someone else, even if the members of the royal family make trouble, there will be no good fruit to eat.

But now, in the face of these troublemakers, the City Lord's Mansion of Efeng City is strangely silent, and even those arrogant and fierce city guards seem to have disappeared, as long as they don't make too much trouble, they will turn a blind eye and just don't see it.

In fact, the reason is very simple, most of these demons who have been pouring into Doom City in large numbers recently, and are constantly conflicting with each other, are from the Nightmare Clan, or are closely related to it.

To be more precise, they are demons from within the Nightmare Clan, belonging to three different factions!

No one force, as long as its scale reaches a certain level, cannot have only one voice.

Whether it is flesh and blood or demons, as long as they have an independent consciousness, they will naturally have their own selfish desires because of this.

In this way, it inevitably leads to the split of the factions and the tilting of each other.

What's more, the nightmare clan, which is huge, ranked among the top ten of the Abyss Royal Family, with the complete fall of the old king, before the new king was born, the contradictions between the three factions suddenly became fierce and became increasingly intense.

Not to mention, now everyone is gathered in Efeng City, in order to compete with each other and finally decide who the new king will come from. The blood that was not killed flowed into a river of corpses all over the field, and it was already considered to be within the Nightmare Clan, and it was handled very well.

The Old King, the former Nightmare King who had completely lost his roots and dissipated not so long ago, could never return from the abyss again.

The direct bloodline he left behind was unwilling to be left on the throne, which became the first force in the battle for the throne.

The ancient king is now recognized as the most powerful party competing for the new king's throne.

The reason why they are called ancient kings is because there have been three nightmare kings in their bloodline.

Although they have completely dissipated, the accumulation of long years has made this vein a powerful force that has a pivotal position among the Nightmare Clan and cannot be easily shaken.

Now that the old king is gone, they certainly hope to take this opportunity to launch the fourth Nightmare King again!

The last party, which can probably be called the new faction, does not have much connection with the two royal veins.

Rather, the old king disappeared until it completely dissipated, and in the intervening years, a new force was formed within the Nightmare Clan.

As the new faction, they are the weakest in terms of foundation and strength, but they are also the most aggressive, and their momentum is not weaker than that of the two sides.

Moreover, it is rumored that behind the new faction is the support of other powerful royal families.

After all, when it comes to the inheritance of the Nightmare Clan's throne, the benefits involved are unimaginably large.

There are naturally risks involved, but once you succeed, you will also get unimaginable rewards.

That's enough for them to choose to take the plunge!

Of course, those who are qualified to meddle are absolutely powerful forces, otherwise they will be easily mixed in, and they will not know how to die.

The birth of a new king needs to be recognized by the ancestral land, so Efeng City will become the place where the three major forces will clash. It will not be until a new king is contested that the Nightmare Clan will enter a new period.

......

Qin Yu walked out of the Nine Shadows Pagoda, and when he turned to look back, he saw that its gate was closing, cutting off all sight from the outside world.

In his ears, he could hear the voices of many demons complaining, and the noise was mixed, but it also allowed Qin Yu to roughly figure out what was going on.

The three major forces of the Nightmare Clan gathered in Efeng City to compete for the new throne, and this process requires the cooperation of the Nightmare Ancestral Land, so the Nine Shadows Pagoda is temporarily closed and no longer open to the public.

This made Qin Yu's face become more and more gloomy, he was not sure what the relationship between the new king of Nightmare and the ancestral land existed, but there was no doubt that the existence of the other party would inevitably have an impact on the ancestral land.

If this leads to the destruction of the connection he established with the Nightmare Ancestral Land, it will be a "tragedy" in capital letters.

But now, the Nine Shadows Pagoda is completely closed, and even if he is unwilling, there is nothing he can do.

Although the word "sit and wait" is not appropriate, and it sounds very sad, this is indeed the situation that Qin Yu is facing now.

Taking a deep breath, he withdrew his gaze and turned to hurried away.

Because of his unstable mind, Qin Yu didn't notice it, just when he was standing outside the Nine Shadows Pagoda with a cloudy expression, a pair of eyes fell on him.

It is the eighth layer of the Nine Shadows Tower, and the demon clan who is shrouded in black robes. He hesitated for a moment, and finally did not step forward, because he could clearly feel that Qin Yu was in a bad mood now.

Now that he gets together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a good face, plus what he has to do, he must have a suitable opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed.

His eyes flashed, and the Demon Guardian turned to leave, and through some of Qin Yu's performances just now, he found that he seemed to have a certain way.

But to do this, it is not easy, it is necessary to make a good calculation, and see if you can achieve the goal.

Speechless all the way, Qin Yu returned to the inn, and Mianya, who had been waiting for many days, was overjoyed. Because, it seems that Qin Yu has no intention of leaving immediately.

It's just that his face was gloomy and he looked unhappy, Mian Ya observed his words, but he just dangled in front of him twice, and after receiving the feedback from Qin Yu, he immediately reined in, thought about all his thoughts, and turned around and left smartly.

Qin Yu is really unhappy now, whoever gets close to him is unlucky, no matter how impatient she is, she will not take the initiative to come up and annoy people at this time.

After going out for a turn, when Mianya came back, she already knew the reason why Qin Yu was in a bad mood - the Nine Shadows Pagoda was closed.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a very headache, and the person who was obsessed with cultivation and didn't listen to foreign affairs was the most difficult to deal with.

Because for them, as long as they can cultivate, women or something are simply dispensable.

Fox Lao and Hei Tiangang hurried back, needless to say, it was a letter from Mian Yabao, since there was no chance to climb into bed, of course she didn't dare to hide it deliberately.

"See Childe. The two old devils saluted respectfully.

Qin Yu knew that these two people came back in a hurry to help him earn magic crystals, so he didn't have a gloomy face anymore, so he took a breath and nodded, "You guys have been tired recently." ”

The old fox smiled, "It is an honor for the two of us to serve our son." He paused slightly, and continued: "Is Childe angry because the Nine Shadows Pagoda is closed?"

Qin Yu didn't hide it, nodded and said: "This period of time is more critical for me, but the competition of the new king of the nightmare is imminent, and the Nine Shadows Pagoda is no longer open to the public." ”

Holding the magic crystal, but he couldn't spend it, he could only watch it, and things were complicated, which was the source of Qin Yu's annoyance.

Hei Tiangang's face was solemn, "We already know about this matter." As he spoke, he hesitated slightly, revealing a hint of hesitation.

Qin Yu's eyes flashed, "What do you want to say?"

Hei Tiangang arched his hand, "Don't dare to hide it, in the latest cooperation, I got acquainted with a demon handsome powerhouse of the Nightmare Clan, and I once inadvertently got a message in a conversation with him. It seems that the closure of the Nine Shadows Pagoda is actually not directly related to the competition of the new king of nightmares. ”

"It's because, as the competition for the new king begins, the power of the Nightmare Ancestral Land will become extremely active. This will be a good opportunity for the demons who have entered the Nine Shadows Pagoda to cultivate, and if they are lucky, they seem to be able to gain a lot. ”

Qin Yu's eyes lit up, "You mean to say that because of this situation, the Nightmare Clan will temporarily close the Nine Shadows Pagoda?"

"Well, it's probably like this, after all, such a cultivation opportunity, they don't have enough cultivation opportunities in their clan, how can they be willing to trade with the outside world. Hei Tiangang nodded and continued: "Specifically, I didn't ask much, but since the Nine Shadows Pagoda can be opened, then we may not have a chance to get an entry quota, but this matter, I'm afraid it won't be too easy." ”

Of course, it won't be easy, but as long as there is the slightest opportunity, Qin Yu will not give up. Not to mention, the power of the Nightmare Ancestral Land has become active, and it is very likely that it will also help him.

As he left the Nine Shadows Pagoda for a long time, Qin Yu's heart became more uneasy, and he gradually formed a strong and clear intuition - the birth of the new Nightmare King would definitely have a great impact on the connection between him and the Nightmare Ancestral Land.

It will even make his previous efforts go to naught, completely cutting off the possibility of entering the Nightmare Ancestral Land through this connection.

Then Qin Yu's efforts to find the secret of the Ten Thousand Souls Dao will undoubtedly be beaten back to the starting point, and he can only start again.

Not to mention the difficulty of starting over, Qin Yu was not sure at all, and he could find a new way.

Taking a breath, Qin Yu said in a deep voice: "Hei Tiangang, you immediately go to find this friend of the Nightmare Clan, the rest, do you understand?"

Hei Tiangang nodded, "Don't worry, Childe, I will do everything possible to hear the news from him." He saluted, turned and hurried away.

The old fox grinned secretly, thinking that the luck of the old black dog was really good, looking at the performance of His Excellency Qin Yu, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this matter, if he does it well, he will definitely be able to greatly increase Qin Yu's heart.

No, I can't just wait, although everyone is friends and comrades-in-arms in the trenches, but the more this happens, the more I can't fall behind, I have to stay in the forefront of His Excellency Qin Yu's mind.

The fox elder saluted respectfully, "Childe, I'll also go out and try, can I find another opportunity." ”

Qin Yu was not in the mood to think about it, and in the fox elder's mind, those messy thoughts, he nodded in agreement when he heard the words.

Waiting for the two old devils to leave one after the other, Qin Yu walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and suddenly strode out.

It's not that he can't hold his breath...... Well, Qin Yu is indeed a little uncomposed, although he doesn't know why he is so panicked.

But the mind is unstable, I know best, since I can't sit still, let's go out together, maybe we can still gain something.

It's a pity that Qin Yu's luck doesn't seem to be particularly good, he wasted more than an hour and drank a stomach full of high-priced tea, and in the end he just heard a bunch of messy gossip, which was not of much value at all.

Of course, it's not for nothing, for example, the closure of the Nine Shadows Pagoda is for internal use by the Nightmare Clan, and it seems that it has long been no secret.

But judging from the unwillingness and helplessness of these demons, although they know about this matter, the Nightmare Clan is very inauthentic, but they obviously have no choice.

This undoubtedly shows that it is very difficult to obtain the qualification to enter the Nine Hidden Pagoda in a closed state.

When Qin Yu returned to the inn, although he was a little distracted, he still keenly sensed that something was wrong. He paused at his feet, suddenly turned around and looked behind him, the demons on the long street were constantly coming and going, and the feeling of being peeped at just now had disappeared.

Frowning, a trace of coldness flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, could it be that this time, it was the person sent by the little girl?

What she wants to do!

Taking a breath and pressing down on the tumbling chill, Qin Yu turned around and entered the inn.

Hei Tiangang had already returned, meeting Qin Yu's eyes, with a wry smile on his face, "Childe, if you want to enter the Nine Shadows Pagoda now, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." ”

With a slight sinking heart, Qin Yu remained silent and motioned for him to continue.

Although Qin Yu was calm, Hei Tiangang didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly told all the news he had gotten.

After listening to this, Qin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed his blocked eyebrows.

Only the Nightmare Clan, and those who are recognized, are qualified to enter the Nine Shadows Pagoda, and the rest of the people have no chance at all? With the identity revealed by Hei Tiangang, since the other party said this, it is absolutely impossible to conceal it, obviously this is the truth.

After a while, the fox elder hurried back, and had to praise that the fox clan did have outstanding talent in interpersonal communication.

Although he didn't have Hei Tiangang, he was so lucky, but he also got the news he wanted in a short period of time, which was basically the same as what Hei Tiangang said.

Qin Yu exhaled and waved his hand, "You two are also tired, go down and take a rest." Seeing that his interest was not high, the two old devils did not dare to say much, and bowed respectfully and retreated.

Qin Yu pursed the corners of his mouth, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, could it really be just like that? If you don't want to stop, what else can you do? The situation has reached this point, and it seems that it is already a dead move.

Just when Qin Yu frowned and thought hard, feeling that there was no way to advance or retreat, and he couldn't even find the window, in a huge and magnificent courtyard in Efeng City, a demon clan knelt respectfully on the ground, "Childe, I have already found out the whereabouts of that person." ”

"Discovered?" said an indifferent voice overhead.

The kneeling demon's body stiffened slightly, "Yes, I only took one more look...... That person's sensing ability is indeed terrifying!"

"I told you not much, go down and get the punishment yourself. ”

"Yes, Childe. He saluted, got up and took a few steps back, and then left quietly.

The demon clan known as Gongzi is standing with his back to the window at the moment, his body is straight, and he naturally exudes a terrifying aura, which can be known to be the person who has been in the top position for a long time.

"Tell the clan elder that he has been found, and what happens next...... Just ask the clan elder to arrange it. The figure outside the door shook slightly, and no one responded, but there was no doubt that his order had been passed on.

"Qin Yu ......" whispered in the room, calm and indifferent, but mixed with some very complex emotions.

There was some expectation, but more than that, there was uneasiness.
