The three of them stopped in front of the stone door of the secret room. Demon General on the left raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, and the stone door slowly opened. The two Demon General stepped aside and bowed their heads, but did not go in.
The cloaked man passed between them and entered the secret room.
The stone door closed behind him.
The secret room was three feet square, with the walls polished smoother than the rest of the fortress. The floor was paved with black stone tiles, and a fist-sized magic crystal hung at each corner. The entire room was shrouded in gloomy green light. There was a rectangular stone table in the middle, empty.
Sheng Xiao'er is sitting on the stone chair behind the stone table.
The stone chair was Liu Qing covered with Silver Silk Grass cushions. She put one hand on the armrest, leaned back slightly, and her eyes fell on the person coming in at the door.
Helisi stood behind her, hands down and silent.
There are three figures standing on both sides. One is covered with burnt black scales, and a horizontal scar on his forehead cuts off his left eye, leaving only a dark yellow vertical pupil, Devil Marshal "Heilin". One is short among Devil Marshal, but has extremely long arms. When he lowers his hands, his fingertips almost touch his knees. His skin is gray-white, as if it is wrapped with periosteum, Devil Marshal"Gushou". The third one was covered with dark red cuticles, and fine sparks splashed out from the nostrils when breathing. Devil Marshal"Chiluo"--Flame Devil Race was born and had a violent temper, but he restrained himself in front of Sheng Xiao'er.
These four Devil Marshal are the core of the plan to attack Wind and Snow Pass.
The cloaked man stood in front of the stone table and took off his hood.
A thin face was revealed - about forty years old, with slightly high cheekbones, pale complexion, slightly concave cheeks, and a short beard on the chin, which was neatly trimmed. Looking at the appearance alone, he did not look like Evil Cultivator, but more like a deacon of some sect. His eyes glanced at Devil Marshal on both sides, without any timidity, and finally landed on Sheng Xiao'er.
Then he bowed, folded his hands on his chest, and bowed.
"Human monk, Xueying, has met Lord Sheng Xiao'er."
Sheng Xiao'er's eyes paused on him for a moment, and finally fell on his pale face, with a calm tone. "Human race."
"Yes."
"How long have you been relying on Devil Race?"
"My lord, it has been one hundred and seven years."
"One hundred and seven years." She spoke in a very calm tone, as if she was talking about something insignificant, "On the human side, a traitor who has been a traitor for a hundred years is enough to die ten times. How did you survive?"
True Person Xueying kept his bowed posture and replied, "I just chose the right path."
Sheng Xiao'er did not answer this. She turned her head and glanced at Helisi.
Helisi understood and took half a step forward. His voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly in the secret room. "True Person Xueying has provided our clan with a lot of human intelligence over the past hundred years. Wind and Snow Pass Garrison rotation cycle, material transportation route Lines, part of the structure of the city defense formation, and the action patterns of several patrol teams - all came from his hands. In addition, 30% of the elixirs, Law Artifact, and formation disk drawings that have flowed out of the human clan over the years were sent to Northern Region through his hands."
He paused and then added in a low voice, "The Cultivation Method he cultivates requires a large number of monks Essence Blood, which cannot be done in the human race. Devil Race gives him blood crystals, and he gives Devil Race information and supplies. It has not stopped for more than a hundred years."
After Sheng Xiao'er listened, his eyes fell back on True Person Xueying.
"What do you want when you come here this time?"
True Person Xueying was silent for two breaths. Then he lifted up the corner of his robe and knelt on one knee. His head hung low, his voice was very deep, and every word came out of his throat.
"I would like to ask for a drop of royal blood."
Royalty! Holy blood!
As soon as these four words came out, the whole stone room was quiet for a moment, and it seemed that the wind outside could be heard.
"Bold!!! Do you know what you are talking about??!!"
As if he didn't know that True Person Xueying would make such an "excessive" request, Helisi pointed at True Person Xueying and yelled.
Heilin's single eye narrowed, and a blood-red light flashed. Gushou's fingertips hanging down to his knees bent slightly, making a crackling sound. A few sparks flew out of Chiluo's nostrils, and he pressed them back.
The three demons simultaneously looked at Sheng Xiao'er on the seat, ready to swarm in and destroy this "daring" human monk as soon as they received the order.
"You want to break through Nascent Soul?" Sheng Xiao'er raised his hand, suppressed the reactions of the four Devil Marshal next to him, and asked instead.
"Yes." True Person Xueying lowered his head to the ground, "I have been stuck in Golden Core Peak for fifty years, and my meridians, Dantian, and Divine Sense have been polished to the limit. The 'Holy Blood Pill' needed to break through is just the last medicine - holy blood."
He paused and his voice became even lower. "Essence Blood belonging to the royal family can be used as medicine. But with the identity and cultivation level of the junior cultivator, it is absolutely impossible to obtain this thing from Demon Race. Witch Race has disappeared from Azure Xuan Region for thousands of years. Only in front of the adults can the junior cultivator dare to boldly make such extravagant requests."
"I hope you will be successful. I will only listen to your instructions in this life. Even if my body is broken into pieces, I dare not quit!!" After saying that, he knocked his head heavily on the ground, his expression was as humble as a mortal servant, and he did not have the aloofness of monk Golden Core at all.
Sheng Xiao'er stared at the human monk in front of him, then looked at the four Devil Marshal next to him with different expressions, and tapped his fingers twice on the armrest of the Silver Silk Grass pad.
"Pill Formula."
True Person Xueying stood up hurriedly, took out a roll of yellowed animal skin from his arms, and held it up with both hands. He was still kneeling, with his hands raised high, in a very low posture.
Helisi stepped forward and took it. After checking that there was nothing unusual, he placed it on the stone table in front of Sheng Xiao'er.
Sheng Xiao'er stretched out two fingers to pick up the animal skin roll, unfolded it, and scanned it from beginning to end. Pill Formula was not long, with more than thirty kinds of ingredients, and the refining steps were clearly written. Her eyes lingered on certain medicines for a longer time, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly and then quickly converged.
After reading it, she placed the animal skin roll on the table.
"I can give you the holy blood."
True Person Xueying's body trembled.
"But I have a request," Sheng Xiao'er said. "In seven days, I want you to attack Wind and Snow Pass from the west and cooperate with my Devil Race attack plan."
"I don't need you to break through. I just need you to appear there." Her voice was unhurried. "No matter whether you have broken through Nascent Soul at that time, I want you to use your peak cultivation level to attack with all your strength, assume an offensive posture, draw out the Nascent Soul Cultivator inside Wind and Snow Pass, and hold it back."
True Person Xueying lay on the ground and remained silent for about three breaths.
"Moxiu takes orders."
He straightened up, his eyes still lowered, and asked again, "Then... holy blood?"
"Here you go now." Sheng Xiao'er said, "Take it back and refine your elixir. In seven days, I want to see you take action outside the west gate of Wind and Snow Pass, in front of the eyes of the human race."
She said no more. She stretched out her right hand and scratched the tip of her right middle finger with her left index finger.
A drop of bright red blood oozed from the fingertips.
That drop of blood was much thicker than ordinary blood, and it had a warm texture under the cold green light, with a very light pink sheen in the red. The moment it appeared, the air in the secret room suddenly sank, as if something was pressing on the blood of each demon.
Heilin's breathing stopped for half a beat, and an uncontrollable greed surged out of his eyes. Gushou took half a step back, which was a subconscious retreat - his blood was surrendering to that drop of blood. Chiluo's chest rose and fell violently, and a low instinctive growl rolled in his throat, and then he cut it off abruptly. Helisi did not move, but his Adam's apple rolled up and down once.
You know, Sheng Xiao'er is the blood of the royal family, and this drop of blood can give them a perfect improvement, which is not unexciting.
Sheng Xiao'er hummed softly.
The sound was not loud, but it was like an invisible cone, piercing the sea of consciousness of four Devil Marshal at the same time. Heilin lowered his head suddenly, and the greed in his single eye was shattered. Gushou's retracted feet froze in place. Chiluo The dark red cuticles all over his body shone slightly, and the sparks were completely restrained. Helisi lowered his eyelids.
Naturally suppressed by hierarchy. There is no room for resistance.
Sheng Xiao'er took out a thumb-sized jade bottle, introduced the drop of blood into the bottle, then placed the jade bottle on the edge of the stone table and took back his hand.
True Person Xueying took two steps forward on his knees, held up the jade bottle with both hands, and looked down at the tiny bit of bright red floating in the bottle.
Then he carefully put the jade bottle into his inner pocket and touched his forehead to the ground.
"Thank you, sir, for the blood."
"Are you ready with the other materials for Holy Blood Pill?"
"Everything is ready. The crystallized demon elixir, thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum, and Netherworld Spring water are all ready. The blood pool has also been built and buried deep underground, and the first bloodline activation has been completed."
"Blood pool?" Sheng Xiao'er tilted his head slightly, "Did the human race Essence Blood pour it into it?"
"Yes, all of Mo Xiu's hundred disciples have been killed by Mo Xiu, and Essence Blood poured them into the pool." True Person Xueying seemed to be talking about an inconspicuous thing, "But the quality is still mixed, and the quantity is not enough to support Holy Blood Pill's elixir."
He paused, his tone was still respectful, but his words were more certain. "It just so happened that near Wind and Snow Pass, a group of Body Refining monks were gathering at the moment to hold a Body Refining Master Conference. Body Refining monk's Qi and Blood It is more powerful than Qi Refining monks of the same level. In the second round, they will gather into a secret realm. There is a natural spiritual barrier that suppresses Divine Sense and communication. This is the best time to take action. By then, they can catch them all in one go. All the required Essence Blood can be prepared at once."
Sheng Xiao'er After listening, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The smile was very weak and fleeting. She didn't ask about the specific plan, she just said, "You have to figure it out yourself. Don't ruin my business."
"Mo Xiu understands."
True Person Xueying stood up, took three steps back, turned and walked towards the stone door. He pulled his hood again at the door, followed the two Demon General waiting outside, and walked along the way he came.
The stone door closes.
Chiluo spoke first. His voice was hoarse, like rolling iron in a furnace. "Is this person trustworthy?"
"It's not important." Sheng Xiao'er stood up, "My blood is not that easy to get."
After saying that, the meaningful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth again.
She walked towards the door.
Helisi pushed open the stone door for her and asked in a low voice, "Sir, how will the attack from the east be deployed specifically?"
Sheng Xiao'er's footsteps didn't stop when a voice came from the front of the passage.
"The 'gathering order' can be issued!"
"Yes!"
Helisi stood at the door, watching her back disappear at the end of the passage.
