Shen Jingyang quickly walked away, followed by Yu Yin who was running behind him.
Shen Jingyang helplessly said, ”Miss Yuyin, please don't follow me anymore.” I wander around, the sea for home, all the way out, not sightseeing, you better go. ”
Yu Yin continued, ”I don't care. I just want to follow you and experience the bitterness, pain, joy, anger and sorrow of the human world.”
”I'm already at my wit's end. I can't even survive on my own, let alone take care of you.”
Yu Yin replied, ”Who asked you to take care of me. My hands and feet aren't any weaker than yours. You might not have as much experience in life than me. Who takes care of who isn't certain.”
Shen Jingyang shook his head and replied, ”I can't stop you if you insist on being willful. We have a rule: First, you are not to interfere in my personal matters. Second, you are not to throw a tantrum. You are not to act rashly and recklessly. Third, you have to listen to me.” If you can't do these three things, then hurry up and leave. ”
Yu Yin had an innocent expression as she said, ”You are too overbearing. The conditions you set are so harsh that it's obvious that you are bullying me as a girl.”
Noticing that Shen Jingyang was silent, Yu Xuan said, ”Ah, well, we'll do as you say. But I also have one condition: no matter what difficulties or dangers arise, you cannot abandon me. ”
Shen Jingyang's heart trembled slightly as he replied, ”Alright, I agree.”
Thus, under the warm autumn sun, there was another pair of lovers walking together. The two of them walked in the golden field one after the other.
In the Supreme Mystery Capital, Hidden Spirit was staring blankly at the Blue Treasury Sword. He thought of his three best friends, Gu Luo, Shen Jingyang, and Zhu Jiuyin. Gu Luoluo was gentle and passionate, always giving people an indescribable sense of happiness; Shen Lianyang was ill-fated, sincere, and had a determination not to be defeated by fate; Zhu Jiuyin was calm, reserved, and ambitious; even though they didn't interact much, the two of them tacitly shared a mutual understanding and made their farewells.
The Hidden Spirit thought that it was good to have all his fellow disciples helping each other and improving together in the Supreme Profound Capital and three good friends outside the capital. It was just that he hadn't seen Candle Jiu Yin for a while, as his elder brother had always been cautious and didn't know where he came from. If they had to find out who they were before they became sworn brothers, wouldn't that mean their strength was too great?
Currently, he was in the capital of the Devil Realm — Mu Tian Ye's You Leng Palace. The true identity of Zhu Jiuyin was the cold young master of the Demon City, and his position in the Devil Realm was second only to the head, Jian Bu Mei. He could be said to be one man above tens of thousands. He was originally a dead soul sealed in the depths of the Qing Qiu Mountains. However, due to a lucky encounter, he was brought back to Demonic City by the longsword and turned into a Devil. He was dressed in a black devil robe and was as white as jade. He was aloof and cold, had few words to say, had a deep scheming mind, and was meticulous in his thoughts. He had a peerless appearance that caused people to be envious.
Ever since the Demon World's Sect Leader, Qi Nu, died in the battle against the beasts, he regained his position as Sect Leader, and stepped up his steps and conspiracy to rule the Six Realms. Zhu Jiuyin often disguised himself as a black-clothed man and snuck into the Qing Qiu Mountains under orders to spy on the activities of the four cities and the twelve altars, and to grasp the whereabouts of the Supreme Mystery. That day in the Taihua Altar's stone forest, he was the one who fought a hundred rounds with Shen Jingyang. Back then, when he was in the stone forest searching for the ”Tai Xuan Pulse,” he was discovered by Shen Jingyang who ran away and fought fiercely with him. He was afraid that he would attract the attacks of the Taihua Altar's disciples. However, it was this intense battle that had caused the destruction of the entire monolith forest. It had also caused Shen Jingyang's fate to plummet.
In the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest at Father Shang's Altar, he had originally been in love with the scenery, but just as the bamboo leaves were blowing, he coincidentally encountered the fifth hidden spirit standing still and listening. Seeing that the Hidden Spirit Sect was extraordinary and that they also had the Blue Hidden Sword in their hands which allowed them to wear the cyan jade, he concluded that they were the fifth hidden spirit of the three new disciples. He had wanted to test the true strength of the Spirit of Hidden Spirits through conversation, but he was attracted by the indifferent and sincere nature of the Spirit of Hidden Spirits, as if there was an irresistible attraction between them. Thus, he suggested that they become brothers of the opposite sex. This way, it would be convenient to scout out the movements of the Taixuan elders and the real people in the future.
Inside the Demon Capital's great hall, a man was sitting upright with a sword in front of him. Since the death of the previous head, Qu Nu, the ruler of the brows of the swords had become the devil ancestor of the Land of Mu. Only devils that had no emotions and meridians in their body could become the master of the demon realm. He had inherited Servant Qi's ninth level of the Mysterious God Palm, and had also merged the elements of viciousness, devilishness, ruthlessness, and other personality factors to upgrade to the ninth level of the Mysterious Demon Palm. He was secretly planning to dominate the Six Realms.
The sword ruler said with a frown, ”In another two months, it will be the reunion of the Six Realms once every thirty years. Our demon realm is no longer the same as before, and this reunion will be the time to show off the strength of our demon realm.”
Candle Jiu Yin bowed, ”Devil Ancestor, the current might of Supreme Mystery City cannot be underestimated. Do we have a 100% chance of victory?”
The ruler shaped eyebrows sneered, ”It's only the Yin Treasure Manual and the 'Twelve Heaven Devouring Sword Formation' that are slightly difficult to deal with. The other twelve Altar Masters and seven Spiritual Masters are all decorations, so there's no need to bother about them at all. Have you managed to find the Taiji meridian in the past few days? ”
”This subordinate is incompetent and has not found anything. However, this subordinate had completely destroyed the Monolith Forest at Tai Hua Altar, causing Shen Jingyang, who was supposed to become a disciple of Tai Xuan Capital, to be chased away; he even became sworn brothers with the fifth hidden spirit of Tai Xuan Capital's three disciples.”
The sword ruler's brows furrowed as he said, ”Oh, this is good as well. We can further weaken the primal chaos capital's strength and maintain contact with the fifth hidden spirit to grasp the internal affairs of the capital.”
Candle Jiu Yang: ”Your subordinate also thinks so.”
The sword ruler's brows furrowed as he said, ”This Demon Realm's Li Fengxian is extremely useless. His subordinates are practically useless. They stole Sunset Sword a few times but didn't succeed and were almost caught.”
Zhu Jiu said, ”Devil Ancestor, don't get angry. Ever since Yin Bao Scroll took over as an Elder, he has been extremely strict with the Setting Sun Sword and has been on high alert. He still needs to find another opportunity.”
Within the quiet and cold palace, Candle Jiu Yin was alone. Facing such a huge palace, he felt somewhat lonely. He rejected the servant girl given to him by the ruler of the sword, and lived alone in the Cold Moon Palace. For so many years, he had always been alone, unwilling to let anyone easily enter his cold palace. No one could easily enter his heart, and he always drank and drank alone in his cold palace, which made his mood even colder.
Unknowingly, snow began to fall from the sky, covering the ground completely with white snow. The snowflakes danced in the wind, as if they were narrating the cold and loneliness of Nether Cold Palace.
Zhu Jiuyin raised his hands, and the snow fell onto his palms. It was soft, clean, and flawless. In all his years in the demon realm, there had been very little snow. In his memory, fragments of the snow still lingered when he was five years old. He was also in the snow in Demonic City, happily chasing and playing with the others in the snow.
The ground was covered with a layer of snow, but the clover he had planted himself had not been touched by any snowflakes. Zhu Jiuyin was somewhat baffled. When he walked in, he discovered that there was a sparkling and translucent dewdrop on the Seven Cloud Grass. The dewdrop was crystal clear, swaying upon contact with the grass, as if it would fall down and disappear in an instant. Zhu Jiuyin felt some pity, some feelings, just like how he felt when he saw his fate of being left alone with no help. He felt even more pity for this dewdrop.
Therefore, he walked closer to the Seven Aurora Grass and stretched out his palm. An indescribable magic gradually gathered in his palm. He suddenly exerted his strength, and the magic in his palm was like a bunch of dim light rays, shooting towards the dewdrops on the Seven Aurora Grass. After the dewdrops received the magic power, they gradually became bigger, and rapidly rotated like a huge crystal ball. Suddenly, the crystal ball gradually lost its luster. Multicolored crystals scattered in all directions, leaving behind a girl who had her head lowered as she curled up on the ground!
