Zhongli Zihan rushed back Black Moon Reef after a long journey.

Seeing the demonic scene in front of him, he was suddenly stunned.

"I've only been away for about ten days, how did I end up like this? Where are they?"

Zhongli Zihan is on guard in secret and be careful walking in the dark Black Moon Reef land.

The rocks in the distance shone silvery under the moonlight, but the four dragon boats were nowhere to be seen.

The wind was howling, and Zhongli Zihan felt a little heavy while walking on the quiet and uninhabited coastal land.

Did something happen to them?

Impossible, right? With their strength and the protection of four dragon ships, they can still run away if they can't be beaten - but if they run away, they should leave clues for me, right?

"What is my most commonly used Tao method?"

Suddenly, Zhongli Zihan heard the voice transmission from Fu Henghua.

The most commonly used method?

Zhongli Zihan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was a secret code.

"Five Elements Mountain Method?"

"Wrong, he is fake, beat him!"

The voice of Fu Henghua suddenly sounded in the air, and dozens of spiritual lights flashed around, Sword Qi.

"Hey, what are you making trouble--"

Zhongli Zihan quickly drew out his sword, and a stream of water quickly circulated around it, sweeping away all the incoming auras and Sword Qi.

At this time, countless Lotus of Rebirth flowers intertwined into a mask and slowly fell from the sky.

"My most commonly used Tao method is naturally Treasure Lotus Glazed Light Shield." Heng Hua slowly walked out from under Glazed Shield.

"..."

Zhongli Zihan was speechless. "Your five-element fusion, full of Creation Qi's Daoism, isn't it under the 'Five Elements Mountain' system?"

I know it's a joke, Zhongli Zihan feels relieved.

Several chuckles came from the side, and Sha Jinshang was the first one to jump out.

"Senior Brother, how was your experience at Earthspirit Marsh?"

"I dug a lot of Gold Essence." As he said that, he released the Golden-Spirit Profound Python from his sleeve.

"Let's show him first. After more than ten days of squeezing him, he may be a little bit overwhelmed."

For more than ten days, Zhongli Zihan drove Horn Python crazy to mine, so tired that he almost hibernated.

Heng Hua looks at a rock on the right.

From behind the rock, Wu Cuifeng came out and picked up Horn Python on the ground.

"Oh? It's not because he's tired, it's because he's absorbed a lot of gold energy, plus... Fellow Daoist Fu gave him 'Dragon-Transformation Talisman', right? He's about to shed his skin."

A large amount of gold energy activates the "Dragon-Transformation Talisman" given by Fu Henghua, allowing Horn Python to begin a transformation into a dragon.

"Next, let me take care of you. I'm familiar with this."

Two Forms Dao has special experience in taking care of Dragon Serpent because of Twin-Dragon True Person.

Everyone talked for a while on the surface, and soon Zhongli Zihan was led underground.

The refreshing air that hit his face made Zhongli Zihan feel refreshed and uplifted.

"So abundant spiritual energy - so, you are building a camp underground these days?" Zhongli Zihan asked.

"Keeping the surface hidden from the outside world, we operate quietly underground - by the way, senior brother, we found Mountain Seal of Black Moon Reef."

Mountain Seal?

Zhongli Zihan thought of what he found at Earthspirit Marsh.

Later, I want to have a good chat with Fu Henghua and Dong Moyang.

Sha Jinshang took Zhongli Zihan to look at the underground space. Fu Henghua and others dispersed again, each doing their own business.

The so-called underground camp is a fairyland built by Yu Danqing with the help of the earth connection left by the Crimson Abyss Daoist Sect. It is a square mile, with a dragon boat located at each corner. It is an underground hidden version of Fu Henghua's "sea base".

"Brother, look, this is a field."

Sha Jinshang pointed to the left side of the road. A group of silver lights and shadows were shuttled among the green rice fields, using Daoism and pure water to water Spirit Plant. Zhang Xiyue remotely commanded Fu Xuange and Dao Soldier, who was left to her, was busy in full swing.

Not far away, Zhongli Zihan saw a glowing stove.

"There?"

"The place for refining weapons was built by Heng Hua using Eight Trigrams Furnace Method. We have not been idle these days, wandering around carefully, looking for natural materials and treasures for reprocessing. We have also tinkered with some gadgets at the moment - Senior brother, you You know, for the first time, I discovered that Dragonreach Waters's research on magic weapons has actually developed to this point. The ballista and Talisman Pagoda are all semi-automatic and can be controlled with War-Soul Dao Soldier."

In the past few days, Yu Danqing built eighteen ballistas and twenty Talisman Pagoda, which were equipped on White Dragon Ship. Fu Xuange relied on the star soul army he carried to operate these instruments to fight Golden Core Cultivator.

This is a response to prepare for a surprise attack by demonic cultivators.

"The people over there are thinking about slaying dragons every day, and the war equipment is certainly developing faster than our three major water areas."

Zhongli Zihan took a brief look at the state of the underground camp and returned to the dragon boat to rest for the time being.

But soon, Dragon Daoist came to visit.

"Do you have something going on, fellow Daoist? Later, we can all go to Heng Hua to discuss it together."

Zhongli Zihan and Fu Henghua have lived in Grotto of Spirit Tribulations for many years and know each other's character very well. With his character being too lazy to move, he must have gone to his study to discuss the next plan.

"Let's not talk about it for now, Kang Zhaiyu disappeared. Just now, when we went to greet you."

Kang Zhaiyu?

Zhongli Zihan frowned. "I remember, we rescued him from Hurricane Belt. Isn't he quite safe?"

"Yes, even during these days when you were gone, he stayed in the house. So, junior sister was a little careless and let him sneak away."

Not caring about washing up and resting, Zhongli Zihan immediately said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go chase him quickly!"

If the other party escapes, not only the underground camp may be exposed, but even the secrets they concealed will be exposed to the Southern Continent demon. Southern Continent monks can include them "people from outside the country" in the secret calculations.

"That's what I mean, you and I will act separately. I have asked my junior brother and junior sister to inform Dong Moyang and Fu Henghua, let's work together -"

At this moment, Pure Wind floated here, bringing Fu Henghua's voice transmission.

"Take it easy, please. Let's get together in the study first. Don't worry about anything else for the time being."

The two looked at each other and boarded White Dragon Ship side by side.

Arriving at Fu Henghua's study, looking at the elegantly decorated furnishings, Zhongli Zihan shook his head.

No matter how many times I've watched it, I'm still not used to it. How come his taste is the same as Master's?

Heng Hua is sitting at the desk behind the purple gold screen Wind Sovereign, writing something. Dong Moyang is sitting in the elegant seat next to it separated by an eight-sided screen, silently using a fan to boil water for the teapot.

Dragon Daoist: "Seeing how calm and composed you are, does Kang Zhaiyu's escape have anything to do with you?"

Heng Hua said with a relaxed smile, "I am greeting Brother Zhongli on the ground with you, how could it be me?"

Zhongli Zihan thought deeply, "Speaking of which, since the person named "Kang Zhaiyu" came on board, you haven't expressed anything, right?"

"Me? What do I mean?"

Zhongli Zihan looked Fu Henghua up and down.

"From what I know about you, there is an unknown danger that may exist on the ship. How dare you let only Jade Sage Pavilion colleagues watch it? You don't have any arrangements? This is not like you."

"Because I believe in the methods of Dragon Daoist and Yuwen. Besides, Purple Dragon Ship has so many masters, why should I interfere."

"This matter is indeed a bit strange." Dragon Daoist recalled Fu Henghua's behavior from the trip to the present, "Except for Kang Zhaiyu's affairs, you have interfered with Purple Dragon Ship's other matters."

The growth status of Spirit Plant, the safety of the spring, and the daily health of the Fu Family's servants...

But only "Kang Zhaiyu" was not asked.

"Unless--" Zhongli Zihan, "Unless you already know the identity of Kang Zhaiyu?"

Heng Hua hung the pen on Brush-Rack Mountain and looked up at the three young leaders of the Donglai group.

He made a gesture of invitation, then got up from the desk and walked to the booth where Dong Moyang was.

There is a square mahogany small table, four golden futons, four teacups and a teapot being heated.

He sat in the east seat, and Zhongli Zihan and Dragon Daoist also sat down silently.

Heng Hua took the fan from Dong Moyang's hand and slowly made tea. "Kang Zhaiyu can speak Southern Continent's language and knows the basic customs of the Southern Continent, but doesn't know anything about Great Demon Calamity. Why do you think this is?"

Dragon Daoist pondered, this was the key to his doubts.

Judging from the appearance and conversation, the other party should be monk Southern Continent, but why don't you know about "Great Demon Calamity"?

If you are not a Southern Continent monk, why do you know the Southern Continent language?

"Don't say these nonsense, just tell the conclusion," Zhongli Zihan said impatiently, "Who is that person, and will he have any impact on us after he leaves?"

"There are only so many ways to learn Southern Continent language. Yang Dai, Ling Tianchou plus Southern Continent, Guo Devil Lord."

"Master said that he has been paying attention to the movements of Yang Dai and Ling Clan. He did not find that they had close contact with monk Donglai."

Zhongli Zihan said, silently looking at Fu Henghua.

In terms of closeness, Fu Henghua and Yang Dai communicate with Heavenly Scripture Dao Arts, and they are the closest to the "Southern Continent information source" among the Donglai monks.

Heng Hua hummed softly and cooked spiritual tea with "Cloud-Fat Technique", completely ignoring Zhongli Zihan's strange eyes.

Dong Moyang: "You mean, the other party's information source is Guo Devil Lord? He is a demon cultivator?"

"Really? She doesn't pose a threat to us. Damn it. When Guo Devil Lord came into contact with the Mysterious Bright Demon Palace, she learned a little bit of the Southern Continent language and then took a ride with us to the Southern Continent. So, don't worry about her. As long as she is smart, she will understand the benefits of hiding her identity to us."

"So, do you think the other party will also conceal their identity and will not reveal our identity?"

Isn't it too out of line to place everyone's safety on other people's thoughts?

Dragon Daoist is very dissatisfied with this.

"What should we do if Kang Zhaiyu and Southern Continent demon cultivators join forces?"

"No. She will not join forces with monk Southern Continent."

Tea is ready!

Heng Hua picked up the teapot, and the first one poured tea for Zhongli Zihan.

Golden clouds of mist slowly floated out from the spout, seemingly thin, but settled steadily into the cup.

Cinnabar Essence, so pure Golden Core True Essence.

Dragon Daoist had a strange color flashing in his eyes.

He had also enjoyed the services of the Fu Family and "Yun Yu Masters" on the dragon boat these days. However, the spiritual tea they concocted was far inferior to Fu Henghua's methods.

Zhongli Zihan has practiced with Fu Henghua and knows his taste and craftsmanship very well. He picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly. "So, you are so confident?"

"Leave her on the ship, and she won't help easily. It's better to let her go and have a look. After understanding the Southern Continent situation, she may even take the initiative to surrender. You know, the Southern Continent magic way is different from the Eastern Continent magic way."

Zhongli Zihan was silent.

He recalled the identity of Fu Henghua, and that his godfather had a close relationship with the Devil Palace. So, he knew Devil Palace's internal personnel, and even knew the demon cultivator, so he was confident that the other party would not leak our information?

"Since you have sense, let me trust you first."

"Brother Dao?" Dragon Daoist looked at him disapprovingly.

After pouring tea for Dong Moyang, Fu Henghua is also full for Dragon Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured. That person is under my supervision and nothing will happen to him. Looking back, he will be a great help to us in our operation Southern Continent."

"You have a backup plan for Kang Zhaiyu?"

"You should know about my sister Tongjun's poison, right?"

Poison?

Dragon Daoist took the tea to his mouth, suddenly froze, and looked at the clouds in the teacup, lost in thought.

Is this tea okay?

Watching the other two slowly sipping tea, and thinking about what Long Chuan had eaten for many days, he still drank it all in one gulp.

If the other party wants to do something bad, it's not their turn now.

Seeing that the three of them had finished drinking the tea, Fu Henghua took out a note and pushed it in front of the three of them.

Dong Moyang slapped his mouth, recalling the spiritual tea prepared by Fu Henghua: "What a pure spiritual energy - no, it's fairy energy? What did you add to this tea?"

"A good thing to use to identify demon cultivators."

Demon cultivator?

Dong Moyang was about to ask when his eyes suddenly caught sight of the note Fu Henghua placed on the table.

"There is a demon on the ship, so be careful. It is suspected to be related to Demon Tome."

"Demon Tome?"

The three of them were startled at the same time. Dong Moyang and Dragon Daoist remembered that Fu Henghua had once made a confused inquiry about the whereabouts of Demon Tome.

"Did Kang Zhaiyu tell you? Does he really know you? He came here on the Mysterious Bright Demon Palace's order to steal Demon Tome?"

Zhongli Zihan looked at the teacup at hand. "You used the teacup to test us to identify our identities?"

"So, if you don't feel strange when you drink tea, it means you are not a demon cultivator pretending to be a demon." That is the spiritual tea that I mixed using the immortal energy that the twenty-four Tribulation Immortals poured into my body. As long as you are a demon cultivator, you will definitely suffer from intestinal rupture.

"There is no problem with the three of you now. Let's go back early to make arrangements and check on the others. However, this matter needs to be carried out in a low-key manner. A devil has sneaked into the ship. If it is publicized, it will not be good for everyone."

"We Donglai and his party have a demon--it's possible..." Dragon Daoist glanced at Fu Henghua.

You have around 200 servants, isn't it too likely?

"I have already checked all my servants. But if the three of you don't believe it, you can continue to investigate the servants on the ship. As long as you don't hurt them, you can check them as you like - but remember not to alert the snake."

The three of them looked at each other.

Then he silently looked at the note on the table.

If this note was left by Kang Zhaiyu, and Kang Zhaiyu does know Fu Henghua, then Fu Henghua believes that Kang Zhaiyu will not deceive us, which is somewhat credible.

After all, Kang Zhaiyu really tricked Donglai and his party, and Fu Family and Fu Henghua could not escape their bad luck.

"Are you really sure that a demon cultivator will talk about love with you?"

"I think she can still be saved."

Dragon Daoist Seeing Heng Hua's attitude, Dragon Daoist said no more.

The three people quickly returned to the dragon boat and began to carefully search for traces of demon cultivators on the boat.

Watching the three people go back to investigate thoroughly, Heng Hua picked up the note on the table again.

Suspected to be related to Demon Tome.

The seven words faded silently and disappeared from the note.

Only the first eight words are left as a warning.

"In this way, can you test the location of Demon Tome?"

But looking at the expressions of these three people, it seems that they are not worried about Demon Tome's safety at all. Are they so sure?

Zhongli Zihan checked everyone on his Azure Dragon Ship, and Fu Family's servants were also spared, but they got nothing.

"Is there something wrong with my inspection method, or is the devil not here?"

He was worried and turned to senior Yu Danqing for advice.

By chance, he saw Dong Moyang and Dragon Daoist coming over as well.

"What's the situation over there?"

"Not found."

"Me neither."

After the three of them checked Yu Danqing again, they secretly reported the information about the demonic cultivators on the ship.

"Is the news true? It can't be fake, right? 'Kang Zhaiyu' used it to confuse our sight?"

"It's possible, but isn't it necessary? If he really wanted to fool us, he could have revealed it directly when Purple Dragon Ship was imprisoned. Why bother to remind Fu Henghua separately? Moreover, Fu Henghua's speculation may be true. Kang Zhaiyu is most likely Donglai's person from the Mysterious Bright Demon Palace."

Only Donglai people can know the time of their trip. Only Devil Palace people dare not go with them openly. On the three major water areas, Jie Xian and various sects The road is blocked. But Fu Family is so easy to talk to. He is really a relative and friend of the Fu Family and an acquaintance of Fu Henghua. Just say hello and follow him, right?

Only the demon cultivator's identity is embarrassing, so Fu Henghua dare not bring anyone with him. He can only use this method to get on board halfway, leaving Fu Henghua speechless and then bring him to the Southern Continent.

After all, Yu Danqing has experienced two lives. After careful reflection, he roughly figured out some of Kang Zhaiyu's thoughts.

"If he has no ill intentions, he is just training for the boat. Now that he is leaving, don't worry about it. As for the devil on the boat - maybe it is another person sent by the Devil Palace, working in conjunction with Kang Zhaiyu - no, if there is a way to send someone in. Kang Zhaiyu Naturally, could have done this instead of taking the risk of waiting for us at Hurricane Belt. In other words, Kang Zhaiyu ran out secretly. But that person didn't know about it, and after discovering Kang Zhaiyu's identity, he wanted to contact him."

Yu Danqing After saying this, the three of them understood.

Kang Zhaiyu may have his heart set on the right path, so he left on his own without intending to join in the evil deeds.

"Looking at it this way, Heng Hua does understand him as a person? He is also a demon cultivator with a righteous heart - his family is used to encountering people like this."

Eastern Hero dismantled Heaven-Stealing Alliance back then, leading the seven thieves back to the right path.

Master Hongwen Pavilion pulls Young Palace Master Devil Palace into the path of immortality.

Now, does it make sense for Fu Henghua to abduct someone from the devil's path?

Yu Danqing sighed; "If he is a cultivator, that would be easy to say. Although his background is embarrassing, there are kind-hearted people like Empress Xuan among the Devil Palace. I am afraid that he is proficient in magic skills, studied magic in the Southern Continent, and combined the strengths of the two families to gain enlightenment and become a great devil."

Three thousand miles away, Wukong Incarnation held his chin in his hands, silently looking at the gourd in front of him.

The gourd sprayed out black mist, with a banner floating on it.

"It's so abominable. Southern Continent's destined people have all learned how to do it in the past few days. They are hiding in the mountain gate one by one, watching and protecting each other, and several Devil Lord are patrolling in person."

For several days, Wukong had no results. He could only sit in a valley and write "Myriad Demons Ranking" silently, trying to conceive of a big plan against the Southern Continent's evil way.

Yu Danqing and the four of them discussed and planned to find an opportunity to follow Fu Henghua's example and test it with spiritual tea mixed with fairy spirit.

At this time, Sha Jinshang came to report in a hurry.

"Oh no, there is a demonic cultivator coming from the south, and the target is Black Moon Reef."
