The man in black stood in front of the door of the main hall, full of lifelessness, and the cold and cold meaning made people feel suffocated, and the faces of the hundreds of officials in the hall were pale, and their bodies were trembling involuntarily.

Emperor Beizhao already had a layer of cold sweat on his back, and got up and said, "Greetings...... Soul Tsuka-sama. ”

"Your Majesty is polite......" The man in black said gloomily, his voice was extremely cold, as if he came from the dark underworld, without a trace of life, at the end of the words, I saw him take out a document, and with a wave of his hand, the document floated towards Emperor Beizhao.

"This is this year, Your Majesty, please take a look......"

Emperor Beizhao took the paperwork, looked at the black text on it, his hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and the man in black said lightly: "Before next month, be sure to hand it over, if there is no problem, the soul mound will leave first......"

Emperor Beizhao's body trembled slightly, and his hand stretched out; "Congratulations to Lord Soul Tomb......

The man in black stopped talking, turned around, and walked towards the bottom of the steps again, the iron chain on his body kept making the cold impact sound of "jingle bells", which sounded chilling under the blue sky and white sun.

The man walked to the bottom of the steps, and suddenly looked at Xiao Chen not far away, and his gaze stayed on Xiao Chen's eyes.

The two stared at each other, the black-clothed man's pupils were full of life, without a trace of life, and Xiao Chen's eyes were cold, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that this black-clothed man did not look like a living person.

After a long time, the man in black withdrew his gaze, "Jingle bell, Jingle bell", and continued to walk outside the square, the cold back still made the guards on both sides of the square feel frightened and did not dare to approach.

After a while, Xiao Chen retracted his gaze, turned around and walked towards the steps, and walked to the front of the main hall, Emperor Beizhao saw him coming, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Shaoxia, please come in." ”

Xiao Chen entered the hall, saw that his face was worried, glanced at the document in his hand again, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty worried?"

Emperor Beizhao sighed and handed him the document in his hand: "Take a look." ”

Xiao Chen took the paperwork, glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning slightly, Emperor Beizhao sighed: "This year, there will be 40,000 people, which is twice as much as last year, but I, Beizhao, where can there be so many death row prisoners in a year? At most, it is only five or six thousand, but how is this good?"

Xiao Chen's eyebrows were slightly locked, one Beizhao Kingdom costs 40,000 people, plus the other six countries, as well as many small cultivation true kingdoms, wouldn't this Shending be hundreds of thousands of people a year? What are they doing with so many death row prisoners......

Emperor Beizhao frowned and looked at him: "Xiao Shaoxia, what can you do?"

"What will happen if you don't give it?" Xiao Chen asked.

Emperor Beizhao shook his head: "If you don't give it, there will be no peace, I'm afraid that at that time, there will be more people killed and injured in Beizhao, and the country will not exist......"

Xiao Chen frowned, it seems that if Shending's rule is not completely overthrown, there will be no peace when he leaves, Shending is encroaching on various Xiuzhen countries little by little, once it is completely controlled, at that time, the entire departure will be reduced to purgatory on earth, the princes of all countries are called kings, but they are actually slaves, and the people are not as good as pigs and dogs.

And the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, at that time, the purple realm may not be at peace, and the purple realm will also follow in the footsteps of leaving the realm, what is the origin of this Shending, who is controlling the Shending, do you want to dominate the human world......

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Chen said, "This matter may be discussed with the two elders of the Ninth Floor. ”

Emperor Beizhao looked at him, presumably he had some calculations in his heart at this time, and he had to nod and sigh silently.

At night, tonight's moonlight seemed to be colder than last night, silently enveloping the entire palace, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in the room, pondering, many things seemed to be unrelated, but in the dark, it seemed that everything was silently intertwined.

Shending changed a hundred years ago, a hundred years ago, the Soul Devouring Demon Flower swept the human world, the seal of the gap in the Six Realms became looser and looser, the appearance of the abyss of demon breath, the unknown existence below the five major factions, the unknown existence under Xuanqing Mountain, Master, Thousand Feathers Nishang, and the hatred of the sky......

Xiao Chen suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he suddenly had a feeling that these seemingly unrelated things, in the end, would be connected into beads, soul devouring demon flowers, reincarnation, master, thousand feathers, and the five major factions......

Xiao Chen felt a little uneasy more and more, it was such an uneasy thought that gradually took shape in his mind......

Thousands of years ago, everything was covered up by people, and no one knows what happened back then, good and evil, Buddha and demon, and who wanted to cover it up......

"Lord, everything is ready, is it time for the Lord?"

At this time, the voice of Chu Qi suddenly came from outside the door, Xiao Chen came back to his senses, his back was already wet with cold sweat, and he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After half a pillar of incense, Xiao Chen changed into clean clothes, and then went out to the nine-story building.

It was a good scene for a candlestick night tour, but Xiao Chen didn't show his eyebrows, and when he arrived outside the nine-story building, there was no sound around, Xiao Chen arched his hand: "Two elders, Xiao is here." ”

After a while, Elder Taiwu's voice came from inside: "You come in." ”

Xiao Chen entered a pavilion, there were only Elder Taiwu and Elder Ziwu inside, and the three of them sat silently for a long time before Elder Taiwu looked at Xiao Chen: "In your heart, but you already have a plan?"

Xiao Chen said: "This is a big matter, and I also ask the two elders to tell Xiao Mou, what happened to the Ninth Story Building back then, and where are the four seniors on the ninth floor now?"

Elder Taiwu and Elder Ziwu glanced at each other, the two were silent for a long time, and Elder Ziwu had already put away the appearance of the hippie smiling face on weekdays, and said after a long time: "Taixuan Ancestor trusts you, and the two of us will not hide it, a hundred years ago, there were five seniors on the ninth floor, one of them was Taixuan Ancestor, and the other four seniors participated in the reconstruction of the Nine-Story Building three hundred years ago, and their cultivation was unfathomable, and five people could successfully cultivate into earth immortals." ”

"But a hundred years ago, the four seniors suddenly disappeared, and to the outside world, they were called retreating to the mountains, but the two elders understood what was going on, right?" Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and said contemplatively.

The two sighed, and Elder Taiwu nodded and said: "A hundred years ago, the always silent Shending suddenly rose, and its sect leader Shenzun wanted to control the world to cultivate the true country, if he was not satisfied, he would be destroyed, and the five seniors were able to successfully cultivate the earth immortals, how could the Shending allow them to exist, so a hundred years ago, the four seniors were 'invited' by the Shending." ”

"So the other senior who stayed behind can only pretend to practice and go crazy, and even abandon his cultivation, and go crazy from then on, so that he can hide from Shen Ding's ears and eyes, right?" Xiao Chen stared at the two of them and asked.

The two sighed and nodded, and after a while, Elder Taiwu continued: "Now the Seven Kingdoms are fighting openly and secretly, and the princes and small countries are even more scattered, and they can't compete with Shending. ”

"So, why did you choose me?" Xiao Chen continued to ask.

Elder Ziwu said: "I guess you also saw the man called the 'Soul Mound' today, right? He is full of dead energy, he is not a living person, but a spirit puppet refined by the Divine Venerable a hundred years ago, living in the tomb and living on the death qi, once an ordinary cultivator gets close, he will be sucked away from the life element." ”

Speaking of this, Elder Ziwu paused for a moment, then looked at him and said solemnly: "Taixuan Ancestor said that your physique is different from ordinary people, perhaps, only you can restrain the death qi of the Divine Venerable, only you, are not afraid of death qi." ”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, his body, he didn't even figure out what was going on, sometimes it looked like a normal person, and sometimes, it was more like a ...... He sighed and continued to ask, "So, the two elders already know Xiao's identity, right?"

The two glanced at each other, nodded, and Elder Taiwu said, "The Purple Realm can have a strange person like Xiao Shaoxia, it is indeed beyond the reach of leaving the realm. ”

Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then his face turned straight: "Okay, don't go into the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, this time, I'll go to Shending." ”

Both of them were stunned: "This risk is extraordinary, you ......"

Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed: "For the monarch, for the people of Li, for the immortal cultivators, for the common people of the world." At the beginning in Zhaoming Prison, the right Taifu was admirable, but now that the matter has come to this, who else can Xiao give up. ”

"Okay!" Elder Taiwu nodded heavily: "Although there are many immortal cultivators in the world, there are no one or two who can match Xiao Shaoxia. ”

Xiao Chen was silent, he was not for leaving the realm, nor for the purple realm, but for himself, everything was involved in the dark, he couldn't find the soul devouring demon flower, so he had to check the truth of this god, he knew that he couldn't do it, and he did it.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded outside: "Tiantian, you're so late, don't you go back to rest?"

The three people in the attic were all shocked, Feng Jiutian was actually outside! The three of them were so focused that they didn't notice.

Xiao Chen's divine sense poked out in an instant, and he saw that Feng Jiutian had changed his usual cold appearance, and in front of Emperor Taixuan, he seemed to have become a little girl like Xiangning, scratching his head and smiling awkwardly: "Xuanzu is so late, is there something wrong here?"

"En......" Emperor Taixuan bowed slightly, stroked the hair on her ear quite affectionately, and said with a smile: "It's cold outside, go back and rest every day." ”

"Good...... Then I'll go first, Xuanzu be careful. ”

"Well, go ahead......"

After Feng Jiutian left the Nine-Fold Building, he walked like the wind, and came to his residence in a moment, and happened to meet the master coming out, and said in a panic: "Master, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Seeing that her expression was a little flustered, the head of Xuantian frowned slightly, and asked, "How did you come back from outside?"

"I ......" Feng Jiutian couldn't say clearly for a while, pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "By the way, Master, I won't go back with you tomorrow, I haven't seen my brother for a long time, I want to stay in the palace for a few more days." ”

Master Xuantian frowned slightly, and finally nodded: "Okay." ”

......

In the nine-story building, Emperor Taixuan walked to the attic with a wooden cane, Taiwu Ziwu and the two immediately got up to greet him, and Emperor Taixuan bowed slightly: "You go out first, Xiao Shaoxia and I...... There are some things that I would like to say separately. At the end of the words, he looked at Xiao Chen.
