Preparations
However, it seemed to be quite far away from Zhonghai, and it was not within the boundary of Zhonghai.
"Where did the earthquake happen? I'm afraid the earthquake at this critical moment has something to do with the Yinfeng Sect and the demon world!" Yi Yangzi said worriedly, but he immediately swept up to the sky to investigate the situation.
It didn't take long for him to return to Xiao Yi. He frowned slightly and said, "From the direction of the movement, it seems to be in J Country!"
"Earthquake in J Country? The quake happened slightly in Zhonghai. What kind of earthquake would that be?" Xiao Yi was shocked.
Right then, a ray of light flew across the sky and landed right in front of Yi Yangzi.
Yi Yangzi reached out his hand and caught the beam of light. He swept his Divine Awareness over it and said, "Luo Gongqing's flying sword wrote that a strong earthquake at the bottom was causing volcanic eruptions and severe tsunamis everywhere. At the moment, J Country has been in a mess. The Special Operations Group member in J Country replied that the disaster was caused by the combination of several Devil Kings who just escaped."
"The Devil Kings went to J Country and made an earthquake?" Xiao Yi was shocked. After a while, he surprisedly said, "Did they find a new exit from the demon world? Are there more than eight?"
"Very likely. Luo Gongqing informed us to rush to J Country and find out what's going on!" said Yi Yangzi. Then he waved his sword and went straight to the sky instantly.
Xiao Yi and Duanmu looked at each other and followed closely behind.
It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the sky above Chuanzi Island.
As the splendor flashed, several figures arrived almost at the same time.
It turned out that Nameless Nun, Taoist Qing Xuan, Lao Mountain's Xuan Jizi, and Emei's Yun Xuzi were all there.
These elders were all old friends who had seen each other before. They were not too surprised when they saw each other this time.
The four Taoists Qian Qing, Qianhong, Qian Ji, and Qian Fa also arrived soon after.
As soon as they saw Yi Yangzi, they immediately turned over and fell to their knees, shouting loudly, "Greetings, Master!"
Just now, in the light curtain, they had already seen him. Although they were shocked, they were all ecstatic when they saw that their master was safe and sound, and that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Apotheosis Realm.
Yi Yangzi waved his hand and said generously, "Get up, all four of you have done good and didn't let me down!"
After getting their master's praise, the four Taoists looked happy, but just like the four little children, they properly stood behind Yi Yangzi.
As he spoke, two more rays of light shot up and arrived.
Before the crowd could see who it was, they heard a crisp cry. "Xiao Yi, I finally meet you again!"
With this scream, a green shadow immediately rushed over and rushed to Xiao Yi's neck. It held Xiao Yi's neck, and was ecstatic.
"Little Illusory Vine!" Xiao Yi naturally recognized that this cluster of green was the Little Illusory Vine that he had not seen for a long time.
This thing followed Li Shang and said goodbye to Xiao Yi, but it went to find its former owner. Xiao Yi hadn't seen it since. Now that they met, Xiao Yi could not help but think of the days when he was with the little Illusory Vine. He felt quite close to it.
"Little Illusory Vine, look at you. How can you behave like that?" A gentle voice sounded in front of him, and it said with a smile.
When Xiao Yi heard this voice, he knew that it was Li Shang!
He hurriedly put down the little Illusory Vine that was wrapped around his neck, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, senior!"
"Childe, you're too polite!" Li Shang elegantly returned the salute.
Xiao Yi finally turned his eyes to the person beside Li Shang.
Luo Gongqing was also watching Xiao Yi.
When their eyes met, they both saw an inexplicable familiarity in each other's eyes.
As the chief team leader of the Special Operations Group, Xiao Yi and the chief interacted many times and could be considered acquaintances.
As Luo Gongqing, Xiao Yi had attended many occasions. Xiao Yi had heard of Luo Gongqing countless times. He had even obtained the Square Gourd from Luo Gongqing and had seen the contents personally written by Luo Gongqing.
He had a deep admiration for this man.
Now, they finally met!
"Xiao Yi, we finally meet!" Luo Gongqing's eyes were also bright. He looked at Xiao Yi and said something that Xiao Yi also wanted to say with a smile.
His voice was gentle and every word went straight to the heart of the people, just as gentle and elegant as his appearance, which made people feel at ease when they heard it.
"Nice to meet you, Luo Gongqing!" Xiao Yi saluted him deeply with one hand clasped in the other before his chest.
Luo Gongqing took a step forward and helped Xiao Yi up with both hands.
"You've taken too much responsibility during this period. Thank you." Luo Gongqing said sincerely.
Xiao Yi's expression darkened when he heard this. He said in a low voice, "I'm ashamed of what Luo Gongqing has said."
"You did very well! Even if there's any damage, it's all fate. How can you be the one to blame? If there's someone to bear the responsibility, then it's me, the Chief, who should also bear the responsibility!" Luo Gongqing patted Xiao Yi's shoulder, consoling him.
Then, with a raise of his hand, Luo Gongqing turned to Yi Yangzi and the others, cupped his hands deeply, and said with a smile, "Old chaps, we meet again!"
"Luo Gongqing!" Yi Yangzi, Xuan Jizi, and Yun Xuzi, all very well-trained, saluted back with their hands folded in front of their chests. Their expressions were full of respect.
"You've done a great job in today's battle. I've never expected that the ten Devil Kings would appear in the world together. It can be seen that the human heart is not the same as before. The power of the demon world has increased a lot. The eight Roaring Sky Prints are all right, but the Devil Kings still run to Chuanzi Island and stir up trouble. They still don't give up the evil scheme of returning to the human world. Let's go down and have a look!"
"It makes sense!" The crowd nodded and agreed. Together with Luo Gongqing, they went straight to Chuanzi Island.
At this moment, the whole island was shrouded in a deeper darkness.
Only in the area of the ancient mountain, the flames soared into the sky.
Just as a member of the Special Operations Group reported, the earthquake at the bottom of the ancient mountain was at least above the tenth level. It erupted fiercely, and there were many tsunamis on Chuanzi Island.
In the night sky above the ancient mountain, a huge, pitch-black bone boat was flying in the air.
The ship was filled with people and demonic beasts. Everyone had a cruel expression as they looked down at Chuanzi Island below.
"Let's go and have a look!" Luo Gongqing led the crowd and immediately rushed to those people.
When they got close, they found that all the people on board were dressed in black. In addition to the members of the Yinfeng Sect, they were all the ninjas of J Country.
Two pretty women were standing on the bow.
Both of them had a domineering figure and a pretty and evil face.
However, one of them had red hair fluttering in the wind. She was dressed in white, and her bare skin was covered with evil black patterns like tattoos.
Her expression was cold and devoid of emotion.
It was none other than the Skyscraping Devil, Yu Ziman!
When Xiao Yi saw her, his entire body shuddered. He felt an intense impulse and wanted to rush over. However, his rationality had already suppressed this impulse.
However, Yu Ziman, the Skyscraping Devil, coldly glanced at everyone without stopping for half a second on Xiao Yi's face. Then she turned her head and still focused on the ancient mountain, which was erupting violently.
Xiao Yi felt like his heart was being cut by a knife when he saw the expression on Yu Ziman's face.
As for the woman beside Yu Ziman, she had black hair and porcelain-white skin. Her entire body was covered in a thin layer of red muslin. Her beautiful features were faintly discernible as an evil smile was plastered on her face.
In terms of appearance alone, this woman was indeed wonderful. However, her appearance and evilness made her a disgrace.
When Duanmu saw this woman, his eyes turned red immediately. He took the lead and shouted, "B*tch, do you still remember me?"
The woman glanced at Duanmu with evil eyes. Her unusual coquettish face showed a fascinating expression. She giggled and said, "How could I forget you? I lived a happy life with you at that time. Later, you gave me a big Spiritual Stone so that my Yinfeng Sect could develop quickly. I really miss you so much!"
When Duanmu heard these words, he was fuming with rage.
The woman in front of him was Bo Ta.
Duanmu suffered a lot from the raven's torture for hundreds of years. It was because of her.
The woman he once loved had betrayed him heartlessly and lost everything. This was the most humiliating thing in the world.
How could Duanmu not be angry now that he was humiliated by Bo Ta in front of so many people?
With a loud shout, he was about to pounce over to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Bo Ta.
However, he was pulled back by Xiao Yi's hand.
"Duanmu, calm down." Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.
Even though Duanmu was furious, he could not ignore Xiao Yi's words. He gritted his teeth, and his face twisted as he stared at Bo Ta. If his gaze could kill, Bo Ta would already be riddled with holes.
However, Bo Ta didn't bother to look at Duanmu again. An evil smile gradually appeared on her face. She looked at Luo Gongqing and said slowly, "Luo Gongqing! You're finally willing to show up!"
"Bo Ta, the evils don't suppress the good. You can give up!" Luo Gongqing said lightly.
"Evil can't suppress good? Haha, then what about her? Isn't she evil?" After listening to Luo Gongqing's words, Bo Ta pointed at Li Shang beside Luo Gongqing and said with hatred.
The expression on Li Shang's face was always gentle and calm. She sighed softly and said, "Sister, listen to his advice. You won't succeed!"
"Sister?" Li Shang called her sister, which surprised all the people present.
"Hahaha, yes, you didn't mishear! Your chief's wife is my good sister. She's the real second princess of the Sacred World. Poor Taoist sects in the Central Plains, they have dominated you all for many years, and you don't know." Bo Ta laughed, pointing at Li Shang, and said with an evil smile.
However, who amongst the present Central Plains Taoists was the skeptical one? Bo Ta's words didn't change anything, and they all turned a deaf ear to them.
Seeing that her words obviously did not have any effect, Bo Ta could not help but let out a snort.
Luo Gongqing reached out and grabbed Li Shang's hand. He looked at Bo Ta and said calmly, "Li Shang is different from you. She was captured in the demon world when she was a child. You have used all your tricks, countless poisonous things, and demonic arts to turn her into the same as you. However, she is still unstained by mud. In the end, she achieved the Way of Heaven."
"Hmph." Bo Ta snorted. "If it wasn't for that d*mned Xiao Yi, she would just be a living corpse in one of the coffins. Xiao Yi, you deserve to die!"
Bo Ta turned her head around and viciously faced Xiao Yi.
Upon hearing these words, Yu Ziman, who was standing behind Bo Ta, trembled a little.
"Xiao Yi, the thing that I hate the most is that I underestimated you at the beginning. I would have killed you initially if I had known that you would repeatedly ruin my plans." Bo Ta's eyes looked directly at Xiao Yi as she spoke viciously.
"Bo Ta, Luo Gongqing is right. Since ancient times, evil has never suppressed good. The justice of the world is still there. No matter what you plan, it's all in vain. Let it go!" Xiao Yi looked at Bo Ta and Yu Ziman behind it as he slowly said.
"Let it go? Hahaha!" Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Bo Ta turned her head back and laughed. Then, she suddenly stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes. He said word by word, "Do you know how long I have prepared for this day? Do you know what I have done for this moment? Let me tell you, I have been preparing for more than a hundred years."
"What did you say?" When Xiao Yi heard this, he could not help but ask in a hoarse voice.
