Chapter 457 The Last Journey (22)
At the same time, on Chixia Peak, Huo Wunian was still in seclusion healing his injuries.
The last time she was attacked by that devil, she was seriously injured. Although she managed to save her life, it would take hundreds of years to fully recover to her previous level of strength.
Just as she was practicing qigong and regulating her breathing, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Huo Wunian slowly opened his eyes and said softly.
A little boy came in quietly, bowed and said, "Master, someone outside the mountain gate brought a Qiankun bag.
When the disciple saw that the bag belonged to our Chixia Peak, he took it on his own initiative. "
As he spoke, the little boy presented the Qiankun bag with both hands.
Huo Wunian took the bag with a puzzled look on his face and examined it carefully.
After a moment, he waved his hand gently, signaling the child to leave.
She released her spiritual consciousness, and her expression suddenly changed. What she was holding in her hand at the moment was the Qiankun bag of her disciple, whom she regarded as a treasure.
She was extremely anxious and probed her spiritual sense into it. Her eyes widened instantly, full of shock.
In the Qiankun bag, there were mountains of top-grade spirit stones flashing with dazzling light, almost blinding one's eyes.
Her lips trembled involuntarily, and she murmured to herself: "Disciple... Disciple, when will you come back..."
On the other side, Yan Xue rested in the Demon Palace for two days.
However, she has not seen Mo Shang in the past two days. What is this devil busy with? He should not kill anyone again!
As soon as Yan Xue stepped out of the door of her bedroom, she saw two majestic demon generals standing upright at the door.
Seeing her coming out, the two of them hurriedly saluted her respectfully and shouted in unison: "Demon Queen."
Hearing this address, Yan Xue couldn't help but twitch her lips. When did she become the Demon Queen? Even she herself didn't know about this?
That abominable devil Mo Shang wants me to be the queen of devils, so he can realize his dream.
She glared at the two demon generals and asked unhappily, "Is the Demon Lord in the bedroom?"
Upon hearing this, the two demon generals looked at each other, then answered cautiously: "To answer the Demon Queen, the Demon Lord is in seclusion practicing."
Yan Xue blinked and asked suspiciously, "What? In seclusion?"
After getting a positive answer, she couldn't help but take a breath and secretly groaned in her heart.
Seeing that his mission was about to be accomplished, he chose to go into seclusion at this critical moment. What did he mean by that?
"What about Guangyin? Is he here?"
The demon general said respectfully, "Master Guangyin is nearby. I will go and inform him to come and pay homage to the Demon Queen."
Yan Xue felt a little uncomfortable listening to the demon general's words. She was paying her respects to him, right? But she still responded, "Okay."
Guangyin came very quickly, "I wonder what the Demon Queen wants to see me about?"
Yan Xue smiled awkwardly, "Master Guangyin, your attitude makes me very uncomfortable."
Guangyin hurriedly bowed again and replied with great fear and trepidation, "The Queen of Demons is too kind. I am really embarrassed by your words!
Seeing this, Yan Xue smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject and asked, "I heard that the Demon Lord is in seclusion to practice, I wonder if this is true?
"really."
Yan Xue frowned, "How long has he been in seclusion?"
Guangyin shook his head slightly. He didn't know, but then he added: "But please rest assured, Demon Queen, the Demon Lord will definitely come out within 50 years at most."
Yan Xue repeated in disbelief: "50 years?"
Guangyin nodded and explained, "Because 50 years later, a grand demon army selection competition will be held, and the Demon Lord will personally host it."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xue quickly asked, "Xiao Guang, the hero has been in seclusion for 50 years, can I just retreat?"
"Host, this is not possible. The main system clearly states that the male protagonist's blackening value must drop below 90 before you can complete the mission."
When Yan Xue heard this, she said indignantly: "But...but he is in seclusion, what can I do!"
"Host, there is nothing I can do."
Yan Xue was furious. Was she going to wait 50 years foolishly? Although 50 years in the world of immortal cultivation was just a blink of an eye, she didn't want to wait.
Guangyin, who was standing at the side, slowly raised his head and cast his gaze towards the Demon Queen, feeling guilty.
He had advised the Demon Lord not to retreat, but the Demon Lord didn't listen. He quickly explained,
“Demon Queen, calm down. The reason why the Demon Lord is in seclusion is entirely because he is punishing himself for what happened last time.
But please rest assured, during this period of time, no matter what you want to do, your subordinates will do their best to cooperate with you! Don't be angry with the Demon Lord because of this."
Yan Xue waved her hands impatiently, and Guangyin left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.
Yan Xue held her cheek in her hand listlessly and muttered to herself, "50 years... How am I supposed to get through such a long time?"
"Xiao Guang, let's be clear. I have saved a lot of people. You have to give me some reward, otherwise I can't do this mission."
Xiao Guang knew that according to the original trajectory of the world, the male protagonist's blackening value would reach 10 in less than 100 years, and the entire small world would no longer exist.
The host did save this small world, but he couldn't say that, because his host was such a greedy person.
"Host, I have discussed this with the main system. As long as you ensure that the blackening value drops below 90 within one year after the male protagonist comes out of confinement, your mission will be considered successful."
Yan Xue's eyes lit up, "Okay, it's a deal, it's a deal."
Yan Xue got up early, washed and dressed, then called Guangyin.
Not long after, Guangyin hurried over, and when he saw Yan Xue, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Demon Queen!"
"Master Guangyin."
Guangyin replied in fear and trepidation: "That is absolutely not allowed. Your Majesty, please just call me by my name."
Yan Xue raised her eyebrows. Well, she now has the title of Demon Queen.
"Okay, Guangyin, can I go out for a walk?"
Guangyin thought it was nothing, as long as the person could come back, going to the horizon would not be a big deal.
He immediately nodded and agreed, "Of course the Demon Queen can go out."
Yan Xue's eyes lit up and she asked, "I mean, to talk about the outside world, is that okay?"
Guangyin nodded again and said, "Sure, as long as you remember to come back on time."
Yan Xue said excitedly: "Okay, then I'll leave now!" As she said that, she turned around and was about to walk out.
Guangyin suddenly called her: "Demon Queen, please wait a moment."
Yan Xue turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Is it not working again?"
Guangyin hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, it's just that the Demon Lord has previously told me that since your current cultivation is still low,
In order to ensure your safety, we have specially arranged two maids for you to use at your command. "
When Yan Xue heard this, she couldn't help but frown. This was not a maid at all, it was clearly a disguised form of surveillance!
But then I thought, I had no intention of running away anyway, so I could just let them monitor me, and at worst I could just ignore them.
