No one dared to move, neither did the women on the beach, and even the many petrels who had been chasing after the ship on the surface felt the horror of death, and let out a terrible cry, and then moved away from the sea.

With a grunt, the high priest swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

The beach was silent, and the sound of him swallowing saliva was very loud.

This high priest didn't dare not answer the question of the Demon Sect, he didn't want to tell the truth, but looking at the calm and majestic face of the Demon Sect at this time, thinking about this person's means of killing, he didn't dare to lie and deceive the other party.

In the face of this person's majesty, he felt that it was impossible for him to lie without flaws and not be detected by the other party.

"More than ten years ago, a terrifying cultivator from Middle-earth like you came to Star Continent. His body trembled slightly, he lowered his head, and said truthfully, "He gave the temple some cultivation methods and magic weapons, but in return, he asked us to help him find something. ”

The Demon Sect's eyebrows raised slightly, this answer was beyond his expectations, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at the priest and motioned for him to continue.

When he actually spoke, the story seemed to become less difficult, and the high priest continued: "The man wants us to help him find an iron coffin, which he says must be sunk in the depths of the sea, but he cannot determine where it is. Naturally, we wanted to be careful about this man, so we inquired about the approximate location of the iron coffin, and in our minds, even if the ship carrying the coffin sank in a storm, it would be easier to search for it if we knew the location of the wreck. However, the man said that he only knew of one such iron coffin that sank in the sea far from Middle-earth, and that it was an antiquity that had been sunk hundreds of years ago. Iron tools do not last long in the sea, and we said at the time that it would not take hundreds of years, even decades, in the deep sea, and I am afraid that this iron coffin would have already decayed into mud, how could we find it. But the man said that this iron coffin was made of meteorite iron throughout, and even if it was in the sea water for thousands of years, it would not decay at all, and it was specially built by the person who sank the coffin in order to sink in the deep sea. Only then did we understand that he was looking for a special sea burial coffin of his predecessors, and at that time, we still thought in our hearts, it turned out to be looking for an iron coffin that might exist in a storybook? The things that are hundreds of thousands of years ago can only exist in the records of the books, but who knows whether the records of the books are true or false, especially how rare meteorites are, to create an iron coffin, such meteorites are impossible to think about, but we see that the person is resolute, naturally dare not question, and we dare not deal with it casually, so we really arranged for many people to continue to search in the sea for many years, all we think is to explain what we have done wholeheartedly, he will not embarrass us, and the more we do our best, he may also give us more benefits。 This man did behave as we imagined, and he himself knew that the chances of success were extremely slim, at first once every year or two, then every few years, and only three years ago. But every time he comes, he gives us some benefits, so this search continues. ”

The Demon Sect listened very carefully.

His complexion did not change, but many of the words in these words made him easily smell the meaning of the Ghost Dynasty.

As for the iron coffin made of meteorite throughout, it is easily reminiscent of the coffin of the Emperor You.

Coupled with the descendants of the Emperor You, the white-robed monk who was killed by him, and the young cultivator who didn't know life and death but was above those descendants of the Emperor You who were killed by him, he didn't have to think too much about it, he felt that there was an obvious connection.

"The cultivator who asked you to find this iron coffin is a monk?" he said, looking at the high priest.

This high priest is not stupid, he can become one of the top few people in the Xingzhou area, maybe it can be said that he is extremely smart, the Demon Sect just asked him this sentence calmly, his heart trembled, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

He knew very well that even in the distant Middle-earth continent, cultivators did not abound, and a terrifying cultivator like the man in front of him was also the top existence in the world, and a person like him would not come here for no reason.

Could it be that the other party also came to find such an iron coffin?

He didn't dare to raise his head so that the Demon Sect could see his eyes, but immediately replied, "It's not a monk, that person is a sturdy man in his forties. ”

"You said that the person came here three years ago, so now you say that this iron coffin, is it really found?" Demon Sect looked at the sparse hair on the top of his head and asked calmly.

"We didn't find the iron coffin directly, but we did find two unusual structures built on the bottom of the sea. ”

The high priest said, "The day before yesterday came the news that in the trench less than a hundred miles from here, two minarets had been discovered, and those two minarets were very majestic, and they were built on the bottom of the sea, and they were beyond the power of man. Before that, the cultivator who asked us to find the iron coffin also said that the iron coffin may not simply sink to the bottom of the sea, but may have been placed in a special tomb, so if you think about it, those two minarets can only be built by a strong person like you in Middle-earth. ”

"Do the rest of you know about this besides you?" the Demon Sect nodded, looking at the rest of the black-clothed priests behind him.

"I make sure I'm not lying about it. ”

The high priest raised his head, glanced at the shepherdesss behind the Demon Sect, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can also ask her, she also knows about the cultivator's visit and the search for the temple over the years. ”

The Demon Sect smiled and said, "I asked them, not you." ”

The look on the high priest's face instantly froze, and an endless chill suddenly appeared in his heart.

"I know. ”

"I know that too. ”

Two black-clad priests spoke.

The Demon Sect's gaze fell on the two black-clothed priests whose bodies were trembling a little, "Then you also know the specific location of those two spires?"

"Yes. Both black-clad priests nodded.

It seemed to be just a very simple conversation, but the high priest felt an even more piercing chill, he had a premonition of what was going to happen, and looked at the Demon Sect with some astonishment and fear.

The sky suddenly brightened at this moment.

"Why!"

The high priest was sure of what was going to happen next, and he let out an incomprehensible voice of grief and indignation, and the true yuan in the sea of qi burst out with unhesitant madness.

The small skull in his hand disappeared from his hand in an instant, and he didn't know where it went.

But at this very moment, a force that he couldn't resist had been suppressed on his body and exploded directly in his body.

Rumble!

There was an eerie roar from his body, followed by the sound of countless piercing bones shattering.

He fell limply towards the ground, and even when his body fell to the ground, he didn't make any noise like the rest of the people before.

But his whole body was like a puddle of mud, blood and broken organs, gushing out of his mouth and nose.

A terrifying cry rang out on the beach.

Many of the women had lost the strength to stand and fell to the ground, and they did not dare to look at the high priest.

There was a soft pop.

But the small skull was revealed, it landed on the back of the Demon Sect, and a strange light invaded the Demon Sect's body, but it was only at this moment, the skull lost its brilliance and rolled to the ground.

"Why do you want to kill him?" the shepherdess's face was also extremely pale, she resisted the urge to vomit, and asked the Demon Sect with some difficulty.

The Demon Sect smiled self-deprecatingly.

He had many reasons for killing this man, and he didn't have to explain it.

But he still answered the question with rare seriousness, and he said softly, "Because I need to kill him to gain more power, and... There doesn't seem to be a reason, because if I had been weaker than him, you and I would have been dead in the first place. Only someone like you will feel that he has answered some of my questions seriously, and he can have nothing to do with what he has done before. ”

The shepherdesss lowered her head and did not look at the tragic situation of the high priest, thinking that the Demon Sect had said that she was too stupid, she was even more powerless to refute.

"Do you have a way to communicate with the cultivator who told you to find the iron coffin?"

The Demon Sect didn't say anything more to her, just looked at the remaining black-clothed priests and asked.

"We don't, we don't know if the Holy Lord has it. A black-clad priest replied.

Just by saying this, the black-clothed priest seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body, and almost collapsed, and a large amount of cold sweat poured out all over his body.

"Do you have a means to quickly contact Xingzhou and the Holy Lord you are talking about?" the Demon Sect then asked.

"Yes. ”

The black-clothed priest didn't dare to wipe the beads of sweat that had slipped down his face, "We have seabirds, and like your carrier pigeons in Middle-earth, we can quickly deliver letterheads to Sin Continent. ”

The Demon Sect glanced at him, "Tell you Holy Lord, I want him to prepare the portrait of the Middle-earth cultivator you mentioned, and let him collect the elixir that Xingzhou can replenish the true element, and I also want him to send a letterhead as soon as possible to tell me if he can contact the Middle-earth cultivator." And also... You tell him that whether he can survive and continue to be the Holy Lord of Sin Continent depends on his efficiency. ”

"Let's go. ”

After saying those few words, he nodded to the shepherdess, then looked at the black-clothed priests who did not dare to move, and said, "Take me to the location of the two minarets." ”

.......

All the remaining black-clad priests re-boarded the ship, and no one cared about the body of the black-clad high priest.

In the eyes of all the women in that village and everyone on this ship, the Demon Sect was the kind of weirdo who didn't like to talk and kill people if he didn't agree with him, but not for the shepherdess.

In fact, except for today, the shepherdess has always felt that the Demon Sect is very patient and likes to talk to people.

She followed the Demon Sect on the boat, turned her head and saw the corpses of the black-clothed priests on the beach, her eyes finally filled with some unbearable meaning again, she said softly to the Demon Sect: "Actually, I am not interceding for them, this high priest... When I was banished here, I wanted to kill him, but I always felt that it was always bad to be too cruel. I..."

She didn't think the Demon Sect was terrible, but she didn't know how to express the meaning she wanted to express the most in her heart, she said this, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I just don't want you to become like them." ”

The Demon Sect glanced at her helplessly, but he inexplicably fell into a very rare silence.

At this moment, he was relaxed, it was a rare easy time after he began to flee from the Bright Holy Sect.

But this feeling has often been felt since he was exiled on this island.

When talking to her, he was relaxed.

Because he's relaxed, he doesn't need any disguise.

"Don't be upset, I'm not trying to accuse you. Seeing that he did not speak for a while, the shepherdess became a little uneasy.

The Demon Sect couldn't help but shake his head, laughed, and said, "I'm not unhappy, in fact, of course I'm not the same person as them, how can they catch up with me?"

The shepherdess was slightly stunned, she looked at the smile of the Demon Sect, and suddenly that gloomy feeling dissipated a lot, and she couldn't help but smile a little, "You are not humble at all. ”

"People like me don't need humility. ”

The Demon Sect looked at her and said, "Actually, if it were in our Southern Dynasty or Northern Wei Dynasty, if cultivators of their rank offended me, I am afraid that they would die even more ugly than they are now. ”

The shepherdess looked into his calm and majestic eyes and asked, "What kind of person are you there?"

"It should be the enemy of the whole world, and everyone should want me to die, but they can't seem to kill me. The Demon Sect said calmly.

The shepherdess looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered with great seriousness, "I don't want you to die." ”

Demon Sect turned his head, and he saw a lot of women walking on the beach.

Many of the shepherdesss and his most powerful women were among them, and their hands were full of ducks and dried fish.

Looking at these women, the corners of the Demon Sect's mouth revealed an imperceptible slight sarcastic smile.

He knew that the shepherdesss was very sincere when she said this, but if he and the shepherdesss met at different times and places, maybe she would have different thoughts at this time, but the most important thing was that there were few people like the shepherdess, but there were many people like these women in the world.

If he had landed on this island that day, in this village, perhaps the women would not have saved him, but might have thrown him back into the sea again.

......

This kind of sailboat in Xingzhou is not fast on the sea, the Demon Sect changed into clean clothes, ate some fresh melons and fruits that he had never seen before, and then asked the shepherdess a question he wanted to ask after finding out that the shepherdess was not lying: "Do you still want to practice again?"

The shepherdess said, "I don't think so." ”

The Demon Sect found that she didn't hesitate when she answered this question, and seemed to casually say the answer that had already been determined in her heart, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, and said, "Why?"

"It's not of any use to me, and if I start practicing again and become different from ordinary people, it doesn't seem to be beneficial, but it will cause more trouble. The shepherdess looked at the sea and said softly, "I thought before that it would be nice if I tended the sheep on that island so calmly, and no one would disturb me." ”

The Demon Sect nodded, and then asked a serious question, "I will go back to the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, do you want to go with me to have a look?"

"Let me think about it. ”

This is a question that the shepherdess hadn't thought about before, and she really thought about it seriously for a long time before she replied to the Demon Sect, "I still don't want it, if you can, you let them leave this island for me, and let me stay here quietly." ”

Before the Demon Sect asked her why she made such a choice, she looked at the Demon Sect and replied by himself, "You said that all of you people there want to kill you, I don't want to see you forced to kill countless people who want to kill you, and I don't want to see you killed." ”

"If you think it's meaningful to come back and see me, I'm here and you can come back whenever you want to come back and talk to me. The shepherdess looked at him and laughed.

She smiled sincerely.

She and the Demon Sect have not known each other for a long time, but she saved the Demon Sect, and what happened here next also made the Demon Sect know that she was taking a great risk to save him.

The affection between her and the Demon Sect may not have anything to do with the kind of love between men and women, but for her, the Demon Sect is naturally her true friend.

She could sense that the Demon Sect felt that she was important, and that this traveler from a foreign land was also important to her.

The Demon Sect nodded.

He didn't think the shepherdesss was stupid this time.

"Are you here for the iron coffin?"

The shepherdess thought of the Middle-earth cultivator who came to Xingzhou more than ten years ago, and thought that the Demon Sect was very anxious to know what that cultivator looked like, so she felt that it might be useful for him to tell the Demon Sect as much as she knew.

"It's not. ”

The Demon Sect shook his head, "I came to the sea to chase and kill an enemy, that person is far inferior to me, but there is a possibility of surpassing me in the future, I found him on the sea, but there is also a powerful cultivator by his side, although I hit him hard, but I don't know if he is dead, my true yuan loss is too dramatic, and he was swept up on your island by the storm." But that iron coffin should have something to do with my enemy. ”

As soon as he started talking to the shepherdess, learning the language of the Xingzhou area, he guessed each other's meaning through their looks and gestures, so it was easy for him to see what the shepherdesss was thinking at this time, and he also felt that it would be good to let the shepherdess know more, "In our Middle-earth Continent, there was once an exceptionally powerful dynasty, and the emperor of that dynasty was so powerful that no one in the future could match it, so it can be said that no matter how powerful the cultivators in the future are, it will definitely be impossible to surpass him." Because during his reign of that dynasty, he even exhausted the rare treasures of the entire Middle-earth, many years later, his rule was finally overthrown, and he was also killed, but his subordinates still felt that he could rely on his exercises and treasures to be reborn, so many of his subordinates also buried his remains and treasures secretly in the process of fleeing, many of which were arranged, perhaps due to the arrangements made during his lifetime. It's just that when the powerful dynasty was destroyed, many people's thoughts and wills were different, so the emperor was not resurrected in the end, many of his arrangements were destroyed, and the coffins containing his corpses and treasures were constantly excavated. His descendants, as well as many people who have obtained his exercises and treasures, have become the strongest cultivators in Middle-earth. Even I got a treasure related to him without knowing it at first. The enemy I hunted down can be said to be the heir of that emperor, and the Middle-earth cultivator you are talking about should also be related to this emperor, and the iron coffin he is looking for should also be one of the coffins of that emperor. ”

"That man is terrible, some of the later royal means of our temple were taught by him, and he can control anything. The shepherdesss listened carefully, then looked at the Demon Sect and said.

The Demon Sect frowned slightly, "Imperial objects, imperial objects are very crude means in our cultivators' world, because of the poor combination of true elements and the excessive loss of true elements, they have long been abandoned. But he can control all things, and his true essence may be different from ordinary cultivators. ”

"The currents, the falling flowers, and even the swimming fish in the water seem to be like the flying sword you are talking about, and he can easily use it and turn it into a magic weapon for him to kill. The shepherdess said, "When this man first came to Xingzhou, he also killed a few cultivators who dared to offend him at will, and then the temple was like surrendering to him, he passed on some cultivation methods in the temple, and gave several magic weapons, and the skull used by the high priest was also one of them, but one of the strongest magic weapons he gave to the temple is now in the hands of the Holy Lord, through that magic weapon, it is easy to control the golden and iron things, and it is also easy to break the envoys of many cultivators for the golden and iron things." ”

After she finished saying these words, she was afraid that the Demon Sect would not understand enough, and then explained: "That cultivator from your Middle-earth Continent can control anything, but the method he passed on to the temple, after we practice, almost all of us can be in harmony with our own vitality when we are in the palace, and most of them are gold and iron things, so the Holy Lord who owns this magic weapon can be said to be the nemesis of all temple cultivators." ”

"This is a method used by many powerful people in our country. Supporting a puppet, but saving the puppet the trouble of being overthrown and then supporting the puppet, is usually given a unique means to satisfy the puppet's vanity and give him the illusion that he is the real owner of the place. The Demon Sect looked at her and said, "It's just that it can destroy and control the combination of the cultivator's True Yuan and the Golden Iron Thing, even if this magic weapon is with us, it is definitely not a mortal thing. So far, the vast majority of the Dharma weapons in our cultivator world have also been made of gold and iron. ”

"I've seen that artifact, and it's just a clasp, and in your Middle-earth, it's the ornamental clasp that some people use to tie their belts when they are dressed. The shepherdess stretched out her hands and earnestly gestured to the Demon Sect with the appearance of the magic weapon, "After this thing was given to the Holy Lord, he hung him on his chest as a pendant. ”

The Demon Sect looked at her serious appearance, and easily imagined the specific appearance of that thing, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "This appearance is indeed the buckle that our men in Middle-earth will use to tighten their belts, but according to such powerful characteristics, I am afraid that this thing can only come from the dynasty I said, if this thing is not used by the invincible emperor at that time, but also used by several of his patrol kings." ”

Looking at his smile, the shepherdesss was completely relieved and said, "Look at your appearance, so you don't think this magic weapon is powerful, so even if it is the cultivator from our Star Continent back then, it will not be your opponent?"

"No, of all my enemies, none is more important than the young man I told you about that I hunted down. The Demon Sect thought for a while, and said calmly: "I have also carefully considered before, with the methods of the young man and the monk who accompanied him, I think that the monk is waiting for the young man to grow strong enough at sea, but according to what I know now, I suspect that the monk taking this young man around the sea may also have something to do with this iron coffin, as for the person you are talking about, he may be related to the monk, or he wants to secretly find this iron coffin before the monk and the young man." ”

The shepherdess was really not stupid, she thought for a moment and said, "So you suspect that this man is the same as the monk, and he is also the descendant of the emperor you said, and perhaps he should submit to the young man, but he has other ideas, and wants to find this iron coffin secretly." ”

The Demon Sect nodded and said, "The more powerful a person is, the more he doesn't want to send someone to the fence, not to mention that the fruits he has worked so hard to pick have to be handed to others, and many people will not be willing to surrender for the sake of the so-called mission." When a lot of people are not strong enough, they will show loyalty enough in order to get the exercises that make them strong. In my opinion, I am afraid that this is also the reason why this emperor was not resurrected after all, and his descendants have never been able to conquer the world. ”

The shepherdess became more and more curious, "Do you know what's in that iron coffin?"

"I don't know, but I think even for me, it might be very useful. ”

The Demon Sect looked at her, laughed with some emotion, and said softly: "No, Ji Tailai... There have been several times in my life when I've come close to true death, but I've often been able to reap the benefits of getting through it, and I hope this time will be no different. ”

The shepherdess said softly, sincerely, "Good people will have good luck, and perhaps you are the one who is truly favored by God." ”

For the Demon Sect, this sentence was more like a sincere blessing.

As for the good guys or the bad guys, he didn't want to discuss it with her on the subject.

......

For the black-clad priests and shipwrights on this ship, the voyage was unusually long.

Luckily, the voyage finally approached its destination.

On the seemingly calm sea, dozens of small boats have been moored, and when they saw this boat coming, there were bursts of warnings on these small boats, and even a small boat soon approached quickly, signaling the big boat not to continue moving forward.

These black-clothed priests were very nervous, they were afraid that if the Demon Sect was unhappy, they would be turned into corpses like the High Priest in an instant, but the Demon Sect knew the reason earlier than them.

In his perception, the sea seemed to be very calm, but only a few feet below the surface of the water, there were reefs full of canine teeth, and with the draft of a large ship, it was impossible to pass through these reefs.

But what is even more terrifying than these reefs is the rapids under the reefs.

At this time, he could easily sense that the undercurrents under those reefs were very fast and powerful.

"Come with me. ”

He didn't like to say much to the black-clad priests, and as soon as he said that, he and the shepherdesss had disappeared from the ship.

The people on the small boat who came to answer had not yet reacted, but they felt that there were already two more people on the small boat.

These black-clothed priests saw that the Demon Sect had already taken the lead, and they all drank eagerly, and when the rest of the small boats were called over by them, they also jumped directly from the big boats, shouting that these small boats quickly followed the Demon Sect in front.

No one dares to talk nonsense.

The boat crossed the reefs and then stopped.

"You can't go any further, and if you go any further, the whole ship will be swallowed up. On a nearby boat, a black-clad priest of the Temple, who had arrived earlier, said in a trembling voice.

Before the arrival of the big ship, the black-clothed priest on the big ship had already sent a message, and all the people in the temple here already knew what a terrifying existence the Demon Sect was.

"It looks like a small whirlpool, but it's actually a big whirlpool underground, and it's very attractive. And if there are some iron tools on the body, it is easy to be sucked down directly. ”

The black-clad priest continued.

Before his words sounded, the Demon Sect's gaze had already stayed on the whirlpool he was talking about.

Just a few dozen feet away from his boat, there was a small whirlpool.

This whirlpool is like a small whirlpool stirred by the hands of some children in a wooden basin.

But as the black-clad priest had said, this little whirlpool was like the spire of a great pagoda.

In the perception of the Demon Sect, a big whirlpool had already appeared.

The whirlpool is formed by countless undercurrents that come from the reef, like a real mountain swirling in the sea.

What's even more striking is that in the center of this whirlpool, there are two minarets that are at least 100 feet high.

The two minarets are square cone-shaped, the two minarets are side by side, not connected, about twenty zhang or so apart, but the Demon Sect can sense that there is a unique magnetic force and a column that seems to be pushed by this magnetic force, but it is constantly generated in the vortex, and then it continues to rush into the position of one of the minarets near the bottom, and then rushes out from the bottom of that minaret, rushes into another minaret, and then disappears.

"Don't come here. ”

"Wait for me here. ”

He just paused for a few breaths before saying these two words.

The first was addressed to the black-robed priests, and the second was addressed to the shepherdess.

He didn't say anything more, for he knew that the black-clad priests would be more in awe of him and would take better care of the shepherdess.

After saying these two words, he left the boat and walked forward.

In front of him was the sea, and there was a whirlpool not far away.

But when his feet landed on the surface of the sea, there were only slight ripples.

Everyone's eyes widened.

The Demon Sect walked on the sea, leaving a faint ripple behind him.

He walked all the way to the little whirlpool before stopping.

What made these black-clothed priests even more awe-inspiring was that there didn't seem to be any fluctuation of vitality in his body at all, and his body didn't seem to be consuming true yuan at all.
