Returning to the Ruins Realm, a month has passed since Duanmu Zheng arrived.

"I'm going to go back to the Zen Crossing Realm," Duanmu said to Yi Xuan, "There is actually no spatial passage opened over there until now, and waving the army into the Guiru Realm is really suspicious, according to the strategy set by the Nine Shadows Patriarch, they should have eliminated the demons as quickly as possible, obtained the heart of breaking the boundary, and then descended to the realm to obtain the final summoning quota." ”

Yi Yu speculated: "Maybe there is some kind of trouble, for example, the demon clan has adopted the same strategy as this sect, and since they know that they are invincible, they will simply hide their whereabouts and play a game of hide and seek, as long as there is one heavenly demon surviving, then the heart of breaking the boundary will not appear." ”

Duanmu was frowning and thinking, "This possibility can't be said to be none, but it's too low. Before I came here, the Nine Shadows Patriarch had already led everyone to uproot the last stubborn demon stronghold in the Zen Crossing Realm, and the remaining few king-level heavenly demons were also killed, only some demon soldiers and demon generals who slipped through the net, I can't imagine what kind of means they want to use to shield our strong people's calculations, after all, the demons have never been good at taking advantage of auxiliary magical powers such as arithmetic. ”

The demons are naturally pursuing destruction and destruction, and they are not interested in the supernatural powers of calculation, shaping, forging, alchemy, etc., even if they awaken their senses, understand their hearts, and can suppress their instinctive desires and have the heart to learn, but their talents in this area are really mediocre, and it is difficult to make any progress, just like when the creator created them, he took the initiative to eliminate this talent.

Duanmu Zheng felt that with the height that the Nine Shadows Patriarch had reached, even if he was limited by Su Mei's body, his vision and skills were there, unless there was a demon powerhouse equivalent to the sevenfold realm of heaven and man to cover it up, so that the result of the calculation could be confused, otherwise it would be useless to change to an extreme path powerhouse, because the real strength of the extreme path powerhouse only lies in force, and it does not involve other aspects of ability.

"No matter what, we have to send people to exchange information between the two worlds, and the quota twice a month cannot be wasted, if the Zen Crossing Realm does not send someone over, then we should make good use of the quota of these two times. ”

Yi Yu couldn't think of a reason to refuse, after all, Duanmu was the most familiar with the situation in the two worlds, and was undoubtedly the best candidate.

He suddenly thought of something, so he reminded: "By the way, the demonic energy has been rising recently, it seems that the number of demons has increased a lot, when passing through the border between the two realms, you must be extremely careful not to attract the attention of the demons." In addition, convey a word to the predecessors of Jiuyou and others, you must be careful to beware of the Seal Skull Emperor. ”

"Seal Skull Emperor?" Duanmu was pronouncing the name a few times, "Unfamiliar name, is it another extreme powerhouse in the demon clan?"

"I'm not sure if it's an extreme powerhouse, he didn't come in his real body at that time, because the terrifying thing about this demon is not in force, but in resourcefulness. "Although I have only fought him once, this one has left an extremely deep impression on me, and I dare to assert that this demon will definitely become a great disaster for the human race, and if there is a chance, he must be eliminated as soon as possible." ”

Duanmu Zheng noticed that Yi Yi used the description of "frightening" instead of "fearful", which shows that he must have fallen into the disadvantage in that encounter, and nine times out of ten he tasted defeat, otherwise with the pride of a wise man and the dignity of "Qi Cehou", it is impossible to evaluate his opponent in this way.

"The demons who are good at strategy, this is very rare, and the so-called demagogic secret demons are just scheming, and they don't have any outstanding talent in tactics and strategies. ”

Yi Xuan agreed: "The demons who rely solely on force are not worth worrying about, so far, they have only taken advantage of the foresight, and they have settled on the battlefield in advance, and they know the rules in advance, so that they can suppress us at the beginning of the war, and when we react and are familiar with the rules of the war, their advantage will fade, and in terms of strategy, the demons have nothing to brilliant, but this Seal Skull Emperor is different, when playing against him, I have a feeling of meeting Ye Zhiqiu." ”

"Ye Zhiqiu, this name has a slight impression, is it the Taishang Sect disciple who fell into the hands of Senior Brother Luo?" Duanmu was trying to remember.

"That's right, if he hadn't accidentally fallen in the Tai Illusory Realm, he would definitely have grown into a strong man who was not inferior to the noble sect Luo Feng, the Chandu Sect Yue Ding, and the Dragon Proud Sect was jealous of the gods, and he could become the mainstay of the Taishang Sect, if he lived, the Taishang Realm would never be so easily occupied by the demons. Yi Xuan sighed.

At the beginning, he was glad that he had lost a monster competitor, but now he is full of regrets, because he has lost a strong comrade who can become a pillar.

"I remember that this person has an incredible talent, and it seems that he can see the vision of the future, which is equivalent to seeing the heavenly monk of the future avenue. ”

Yi Yu said: "Ye Zhiqiu's ability will only be stronger than you think, he can see the changes of various branches in the future, as well as the conditions for entering the future of the corresponding branch, he is not the kind of fortune teller who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, giving you the most likely future, but can guide the direction of the future, choose the future branch of your own will, in a sense, it can be said that he can control fate." ”

"I was able to control fate, but in the end I was abandoned by fate...... If Ye Zhiqiu's ability is as you said, wouldn't it be even more terrifying for Senior Brother Luo who defeated him?" Duanmu Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Well, in a sense, it is. That battle was the most thrilling battle I had ever seen, maybe the strength level was not as strong as the heavens and men, but the combat wisdom revealed in it was far beyond our reach, if the strength level was lowered to the same level, anyway, I didn't have the confidence to defeat either of these two monsters. Yi Yu said humbly.

Duanmu was intrigued, but he knew that now was not the time to ask about this, so he turned back to the topic and asked, "You said that the impression that the Seal Skull Emperor gave you was the same as Ye Zhiqiu, which means that he also has the ability to foresee the future?"

Yi Xuan was silent, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "It's still a little different, he may have some ability to foresee the future, but he is not as powerful as Ye Zhiqiu, and it is almost the same as the monk who has witnessed the Great Dao of Destiny or the Great Dao of the Future, and the real terrifying thing about him is in another aspect...... If you have to describe it, it's like being able to see through people's thoughts. ”

The corners of Duanmu's eyebrows jumped, and he guessed: "Voyeurism?"

"Perhaps, when playing against him, every step I made was seen through by him, and I was constrained everywhere, as if the tactical strategy I had planned was clearly placed in front of the opponent, resulting in a complete defeat in the end.

I don't say this to make excuses for my own failures, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, even if I meet a wise man who is more resourceful than me, this is not an unacceptable thing, but I can't imagine anyone who can completely guess my arrangement in every detail, just like playing Go, being killed by a big dragon, can you imagine a person eating all the chess pieces on the opposite side?"

Duanmu Zheng frowned, he heard the meaning of the other party's words, and knew the seriousness of this matter, even a person who was like a god could not guess all the thoughts of another stranger, unless it was an adult to a child, it was impossible to really "grasp everything".

"What about your strain in battle?"

As if he knew what I was going to do, he prepared his back hand in advance, specifically to restrain my back hand, as if he could always think one step more than me, and that feeling was like you standing naked in front of the other person, with no secrets. I had been depressed for a while, discouraged by being completely suppressed in terms of intelligence, but the more I thought about it during this time, the more I felt that something was wrong, that the other party had won too perfectly, so perfect that every detail was clearly grasped, which was by no means the level of wisdom that could be done, but almost omniscient.

If everything ends here, I do have to wonder if this demon has the same talent as Ye Zhiqiu, but there is one thing that makes me change my mind, it is an unexpected thing that suddenly happened on the battlefield, a variable that even I did not expect, if the Emperor of the Seal Skull really has the ability to know, he should be able to guess the existence of this variable and use it.

But in fact he didn't do it, he was very slow to deal with variables during the battle, and it wasn't until I reacted that he thought of adaptation, and as a result, he was a step slower, resulting in a hundred secrets, failing to leave all our men behind, and giving me a chance to escape, otherwise I would not be able to stand here today, which is why I suspect that this demon may have the ability to spy on people's minds, rather than predicting the future. ”

At the same time, Yi Yu felt lucky, but also quite distressed, no wise man likes to be glimpsed into his thoughts, because no matter how surprising and unimaginable the plan is, if it is known to the enemy in advance, it will be meaningless.

"I'll give you a suggestion, if you really face the Emperor of the Seal, try to use the Yang conspiracy, and don't use the conspiracy that will be counterattacked. In addition, judging from the information I have gathered so far, the cultivation of the Seal Skull Emperor is extremely strong, beyond the limits of the rules, so he cannot really come in, but must appear through some kind of medium, and all aspects are restricted, perhaps, it is a good way to directly crush it by force. ”

"I made a note of it," Duanmu Zheng nodded, "Actually, if this demon really masters the ability of voyeurism, we are not without countermeasures, at least I know that one person is very suitable." ”

"Oh, can you fight against the voyeurism, is it a heartless person, or an innocent person?"

Duanmu Zhengdao: "It is a person whose thinking is in a state of chaos, spontaneous, and even he himself does not know what he will do next, even if such a person is spied on his heart, it has no meaning, but will make the snooper's thinking fall into chaos, and more importantly, this person also has extraordinary wisdom, not because of the chaos brought about by ignorance, but consciously chose chaos." ”

"People with chaotic thinking? That is an illogical existence, equivalent to an innate variable, if there really is such a person, it is really a natural disaster for strategists. Yi Yi was curious at first, but quickly thought of the drawbacks, "But for this kind of person, I'm afraid that there is no concept of the same door, comrades-in-arms, and righteousness, and the chaos of thinking will also bring the chaos of the position, and being a comrade-in-arms with this kind of person is very insecure, he may not be able to help you wholeheartedly, and even if he doesn't work is already the best bad situation, even if he suddenly stabs you in the back, it is not surprising." ”

Duanmu Zheng admitted: "That's right, this is a double-edged sword, so don't use it rashly unless you have to." ”

The two then chatted for a while, and then said goodbye to each other, because they were worried about the danger of being discovered by the demon army, Yi Lu did not send Duanmu Zheng to the border of the two realms, and by the way, he also persuaded Mu Lianhua to stop.

"After six hours, if there is no movement from your side, I will go with you. ”

Mu Lianhua said as she stepped forward to straighten the folds on Duanmu's clothes, her eyes were full of affection, and she no longer had the posture of wandering in the past, no matter who it seems, she is now a gentle and virtuous wife and mother.

After a month of recuperation, Mu Lianhua finally made up for the loss of essence and blood in the past, and there was no longer a trace of gloom on her face, and she always had a happy smile, just seeing it made people feel warm in their hearts, as if they felt the compassion of the Buddha, those disciples of the Guiru Sect when they saw her, they all mistook her for Wule Huishi, and after learning the truth, it was a living ghost, and many people beat their chests and feet, regretting letting Duanmu Zheng, a disciple of the Six Dao Sect, take the lead.

Thanks to the improvement of the realm and state of mind, Mu Lianhua's cultivation is also a thousand miles in a day, and now it is better than the vast majority of Dao realm monks, and the pace of progress has not slowed down at all, and it is still improving wildly at a jealous speed.

In this regard, Mu Lianhua herself didn't care much, in the past, she might have been ecstatic about it, but now she has come to her senses, let go of her obsession over her sister, and doesn't care about this matter anymore - but this kind of mentality is conducive to the improvement of cultivation.

However, letting go of her obsession does not mean that Mu Lianhua doesn't care about anything, at least she still cares about Duanmu Zheng and the children of the two, which can be said to be wholehearted dedication and meticulous care.

Even if other female monks give birth, most of them are fed with various elixirs such as yellow essence and Poria cocos as soon as they land, and no one will raise a fetus like a mortal woman, but Mu Lianhua is really the same as a mortal woman, although she still does not eat the fireworks and meat of the world, but she eats a lot of Xianzhi ginseng, Seaweed spirit grass and other medicines, only said that the medicine is poisonous, worried that the child will not be able to withstand it if he eats it directly, so he simply eats it himself, turns it into milk and then feeds it to the child, and it is a daily rest, with the Taoist method of refining the baby, and the essence in the body is continuously delivered to the child.

"I want to go and see my sister, completely unravel my fateful entanglement with her, and eliminate the future catastrophe. In the past, I had no love in my life, and I was not afraid of death, I felt that even if it caused a catastrophe, it was not so difficult to accept to die with my sister, and I even had some faint expectations in my heart, but now I have attachment, but I have become afraid of death, and I hope to eliminate the hidden danger as soon as possible. Whether it is for others or for themselves, they should put aside this grievance, and they will be very happy to see my sister enter the Liberation Gate with her, which is also her wish all along. ”
