This time is different from the previous Qingzhou stronghold in southern Xinjiang. Whenever it was disguised, Lei or the fat elder, they were basically one or two people with the highest status. They did not need too much communication. They only needed to pose in a high position, which was enough to avoid most of the trouble.
But this time, there are many people in the Demon Sect headquarters who can talk to it.
Ning Qi was also mentally prepared and asked about Ghost Face a lot of information about this, but in the end he said so many mistakes, but he didn't expect that before he could step into the Wanyan Cave, he met someone.
And he is also a candidate holy son with a high status.
He could only stop, otherwise if he avoided, he would seem deliberate.
The eyes under Ning Qi's mask were a little cold and didn't say anything.
Jiang Tianlong had already arrived in front of him, and he bowed slightly, and said with a hint of respect:
"Why should the Ghost Face Deputy Sect Leader do this? I wonder what I thought about what I said to you last time?"
Ning Qi was stunned.
Who knows what you said to Ghost Face!
But then, he realized that if Qin Yun was included, there were three alternate saints in the Demon Sect. Now Qin Yun lost power, and only Ye Qin and Jiang Tianlong were left to compete. It has reached a white-hot stage. The ghost face that originally supported Qin Yun naturally became a hot commodity.
He still didn't say anything, but his eyes changed a little, and he was no longer so cold.
really.
Jiang Tianlong immediately set off the railway while it was hot:
"After all, Qin Yun is an outsider, why should you be so persistent in helping him? If you are willing to help me as the throne, if I become the leader of the sect in the future, the position of the great elder will be yours."
He smiled and drew a pie.
Ning Qi smiled coldly:
"Qin Yun is a person that the Great Elder values."
What he said was very simple, but Jiang Tianlong's expression immediately changed.
Ning Qi stepped in and kept going down.
A wave of heat suddenly swept over, and a faint black air emerged from his body, blocking it all. In the cave, there were all kinds of strange flowers and plants of the Fire genus, which were of no use, but it could withstand the hot and high temperatures with light.
Looking at it, the caves are tall and vast, with many intersections, complex and ingenious.
Ning Qi was slightly amazed in his heart. He recognized the exclusive mark left by the Demon Sect, kept identifying the direction, stopped and waited from time to time, avoiding the gushing of flames. Although it was his first time coming, he was familiar with the road.
Jiang Tianlong followed him, and after a few times, he began to take the initiative to lead the way.
This is the practice of the Demon Sect. If you walk in with your peers, you must show the ability to distinguish marks regardless of your identity, which is one of the means to prevent others from getting in.
Jiang Tianlong whispered:
"Deputy Sect Master, I know that you went out this time for Lin Ruhua. Now that you are back alone, there must be some twists and turns. Why not consider it again? You will help me overcome Ye Qin and you will get the conditions."
He quietly showed his means, which was extremely confidential.
Ning Qi raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly realized that this candidate saint may not have met by chance, but was waiting here specifically.
Ning Qi was about to speak.
There was another wave coming from the front. Jiang Tianlong's expression changed and he saw a bald young man stepping on the other end. There were several black patterns on his head, which looked full of evil spirits. He was another candidate saint, Ye Qin.
Ye Qin laughed in a deep voice:
"But by chance, I didn't expect that Brother Jiang would return with the Ghost Face Deputy Sect Leader. It seems that my sincerity is not enough."
He seemed to point something, and Jiang Tianlong just snorted lightly.
The three of them walked forward.
Ye Qin saluted Ning Qi respectfully and said:
"Is this trip of the deputy sect leader still going smoothly? Have you ever seen my elder of the Ye family?"
He smiled and said, and at the same time he showed his strength. This was a slight move to tell Ning Qi that he had already known all the plan, including Elder Ye leading the team to capture Lin Ruhua and Jiang Baishan, assisting Qin Yun, while Ghost Face was secretly supervising.
The two of them are here now, afraid they just want to find out what the result is. After all, if Qin Yun returns, there will be another competition among the three companies in the future, which will increase variables.
But they didn't know that the Ghost Face had already been secretly replaced by Ning Qi.
Ning Qi glanced at the two without emotion:
"Do you two holy sons want me to report to you? That's right, why not go with me to meet the Great Elder."
Listening to the cold anger faintly in the words, the two of them bowed and bowed:
"I dare not wait."
Anyway, Ghost Monster is now the deputy sect leader. Except for a few people, the rest of them have to be respectful when they see him.
Ning Qi snorted coldly and stepped forward.
After such a long journey, I guess I have penetrated dozens of miles underground. The occasional flames are even more fierce. However, after a certain turning point, they gradually become safe. This is the safe area discovered by the ancestors of the Demon Sect.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of Ning Qi's eyes, and crystal stones like night pearls hung on the top, like stars, in the lofty and vast underground world, and a series of underground palaces with strict rules appeared, gorgeous and lined up one after another. The more you go to the center, the more luxurious the palace is.
He had heard the description of the ghost face before, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
What I saw in front of me was like an underground imperial capital.
There are not many people inside, but there are many people.
When they saw Ning Qi and the other two coming, someone came to greet them immediately. Of course, these people were not the core senior leaders of the Demon Sect, but their servants. Their ancestors were taken here at first and were not allowed to go out. They then reproduced from generation to generation. At this time, most people no longer knew what the outside world looked like, and even did not know that there was a world outside.
Their only mission is to serve the very few powerful demon sects.
"Greetings to the deputy sect leader and the two holy sons!"
A group of pretty palace beauties came here in a stylish manner.
Ning Qi ignored it and just said lightly:
"Where is the Great Elder?"
The female official crawled on the ground:
"The Great Elder was in the Forget-Wait Palace yesterday, which means that the sun was coming."
Ning Qi's eyes flashed:
"Okay, if the Great Elder comes out of seclusion early, come and inform me."
As he said that, he turned his head and headed towards the underground palace where the ghost face belonged.
When Ning Qi's figure disappeared, Jiang Tianlong and Ye Qin looked at each other, and were all confused. Jiang Tianlong suddenly said:
"Have you noticed that today's Ghost Face Deputy Sect Master is a little weird?"
Ye Qin nodded and said:
"You also found out? You don't seem to want to talk to us more."
He smiled meaningfully, and the black lines on his bald head seemed to be squirming:
"You said... Could it be that something happened to this mission? I saw that the Ghost Face Deputy Sect Master seemed to be anxious to see the Great Elder."
Jiang Tianlong said coldly:
"You Ye family robbed this mission this time, and you don't know what happened?"
Ye Qin spread his hands:
"I really don't know. It's obvious that the Ghost Face Deputy Sect Leader came back alone. Tsk tsk, could it be that guy Qin Yun's rebellion again?"
Jiang Tianlong's eyes flashed:
"How about cooperation? This time, Qin Yun must not be allowed to return to the list of alternative holy sons. We are at least the direct descendants of the Holy Sect for generations. Why should he join the company halfway through the road be on par with us? Competition between two people is always like competition among three people."
Ye Qin grinned, revealing her white teeth:
"Just because of this, I don't know what the elder is thinking, but he will support Qin Yun. This time we will join forces to press Qin Yun to death!"
The two of them were intertwined and left as if nothing had happened.
far away.
Ning Qi's mouth curled slightly.
With his strength, even if the two of them have used the method of transmitting the voice into secret, they can still be heard.
"It seems that the internal fighting between the Demon Sect is indeed very powerful."
What he saw and heard along the way made him feel deeply.
It is said that the former body of the Demon Sect was a remnant of the previous dynasty and had always wanted to overthrow Da Yan, but after two thousand years, it is hard to say how many people still retain their original intentions, but this is also good, and each has its own ulterior motives to make him more relaxed.
He did not forget the purpose of the trip.
Back to the palace where the Ghost Face belongs, Ning Qi waved everyone away and was alone.
"The key this time is to prevent the Martial Saint from the Demon Sect from giving birth to the Martial Saint, and the Great Elder is the only person who knows the secrets. The best way is to stop him quietly and then ask everything. However, he is now in seclusion, and it is not so easy to get close to."
"Fortunately, it will be out tomorrow. If there are only a few days to go back to the fifth senior brother, it will inevitably attract suspicion."
"Maybe...you can go and inquire after nightfall."
Ning Qi made the worst plan, nothing more than a forced battle.
It would be better to be sure that the Great Elder is here, it would be better than the headless flies that were spinning around like before, but it would be better to save some energy.
He slowly closed his eyes, understood the truth, and regained his energy.
...
At night.
There is no sun and moon underground, but there are people in the underground palace here who control the crystal stones on the top to curl away the light, imitating the change of day and night.
Ning Qi suddenly opened his eyes.
He used the Silence Art and quietly stepped out of the palace.
The underground palace is now dark, with only the lights always bright. Ning Qi identified the direction of Wangyou Palace, as light as a raccoon cat, and occasionally patrolling people, but they could not find Ning Qi's traces at all.
Although the underground palace is large, these servants who serve the core senior management of the Demon Sect are not very good at cultivation.
Not long.
Ning Qi has stopped outside the Forgetful Palace.
He was hiding in the dark and did not continue to enter. The guards were secondly, mainly because he noticed that there were strange gate formations in this palace. If he stepped in rashly, the people among them would definitely be awakened.
Then you can only fight hard in the future.
The idea of ​​sneaking in secret to control the Great Elder was suddenly lost.
"It's indeed not that easy. People like the Demon Sect are really cautious." Ning Qi said in his heart.
This is much more difficult than the Qingzhou stronghold in southern Xinjiang before, that is, Ning Qi has this ability, otherwise others would not even be able to find the gate of the underground palace.
He wasn't discouraged either.
Since it doesn't work now, then wait until we see the great elder tomorrow and see if there is a chance.
Just make some other preparations first.
Ning Qi's eyes flashed and he quietly touched other places in the underground palace.
He sneaked secretly all the way, and he carefully sensed the breath around him from time to time.
Not long.
Ning Qi has already circled the underground palace.
He stopped, a little scared:
"There are more than thirty people in the divine realm that I have sensed in the divine realm. If I count the few that I have not sensed, maybe more than forty people? Moreover, these people's aura is not weak, so I'm afraid they are basically not as simple as entering the divine realm."
This number is indeed amazing.
After all, this is just the Heavenly Realm of the Demon Sect headquarters. If the strong men who are divided into various parts of the Demon Sect will be even more terrifying, and the number may double again.
"The Thirteen State of Great Yan, all the powerful people in the Heavenly Realm of the World are probably only hundreds of. In the Heavenly Realm, they are almost all peerless geniuses selected from one in a billion, and the imperial court accounts for at least 30%, and the rest are distributed in many martial arts sects in the world."
"No wonder the Demon Sect can deal with the imperial court for so long, and it does have a deep foundation."
Ning Qi became more cautious.
There are so many heavenly realms, including strong people who can rank among the top in the heavenly realms, so he has to be careful. If a melee occurs, it may not be so easy to solve.
If he wants to leave, there will be no danger, but if this fails, it will be unlikely to have such a good opportunity in the future.
Think carefully.
Ning Qi already had an idea.
He quietly walked around the underground palace, avoided patrol, and then penetrated the Gangyuan sword seeds. To be safe, it would be better to set up a few sets of formations so that no one would slip away by then.
Finish all this.
Ning Qi returned to his palace.
Now, I'm just waiting for tomorrow.
...
The next day.
Ning Qi had breakfast under the service of many servants, and the female official from yesterday arrived slowly:
"Deputy Sect Master, the Great Elder has come out of the Palace of Forgetfulness. He ordered the maid to ask you to go to Chaotian Palace to see him."
Chaotian Palace?
Ning Qi paused slightly, then nodded and said:
"knew."
This Chaotian Palace is the residence of the Great Elder. If the Great Elder is closed to the Changguan, it is here. This is the personal place of the Great Elder. On weekdays, they will never call other senior officials of the Demon Sect to come over. They will have other choices in their meetings.
This is a manifestation of trust.
You can know one or two from the increasingly respectful attitude of the servants around you.
But Ning Qi's heart was slightly stern.
He sorted out his clothes according to the habit of ghost face and said:
"Let's lead the way."
The female official respectfully bowed her head and led the way.
Jiang Tianlong and Ye Qin whom they saw yesterday actually appeared together. There was a hint of envy in their eyes, and they all praised:
"Congratulations to the Ghost Face Deputy Sect Leader, who won the favor of the Great Elder!"
Among the Demon Sect.
The most important two are the sect leader and the great elder. The powers and secrets they hold are not comparable to those of others. They are all passed down by word of mouth. The sacred son inherits the position of the sect leader, while the great elder chooses among the deputy sect leader.
Now that the Ghost Face was summoned to the Chaotian Palace by the Great Elder, this attitude has begun to have a great tendency.
Ning Qi thought something and nodded and continued to move forward.
He heard the two of them sending voices:
"This Ghost Face Deputy Sect Master is really lucky. Speaking of which, like Qin Yun, he was also an outsider who joined the Holy Sect. Could it be the Great Elder..."
Both of them shrank their pupils and did not continue to say.
But Ning Qi had already guessed a few points.
After a moment.
Ning Qi stepped into Chaotian Hall with great strides, and he said with a little respect:
"I've met the Great Elder in Ghost Face!"
I saw an old man with silver hair slowly turn around and a smile appeared on his face.
Chapter completed!
