It is different from Zhu Si Cave, which is slightly withered because Zhu Si Daxian fell into a deep sleep.

The Earth Immortal Temple where the Hundred-Eyed Immortal is located has become increasingly powerful in the past hundred years.

As one of the two demon kings in Peng'an Realm, and as the senior brother of Zhu Si Daxian.

The Hundred-Eyed Immortal has actually become the top being that truly holds power in the entire Peng'an realm.

Yan Jing and Zhu Xia noticed this the first time they approached Dixian Temple.

It is also built in the Demon King's Cave in a deep mountain and dense forest. The level of excitement on both sides is basically the same as one in the sky and the other underground.

The two of them happened to be in a position where they could see the continuous lights and groups of monsters on the mountain road in front of Dixian Temple.

Although the mountain forest is dense, it has obviously been deliberately cleaned. There are no evil plants or animals near the mountain path. There are little demons wearing Taoist robes guarding the mountain path at intervals, along with stone buildings and lamp posts.

Everything.

If it weren't for the demonic aura in front of him, Yan Jing would have thought he was at the Taoist mountain gate.

"Your senior brother really values ​​​​appearance, does he do this every day?"

Standing next to the leopard that was captured and used as a temporary mount, Yan Jing looked at several particularly eye-catching teams that appeared in the forest ahead.

I can vaguely hear the sound of singing from over there.

"Master Yishan, I offer you two mountain essences and five spiritual ginseng plants to congratulate the Great Immortal of Hundred Eyes!"

"Taoist Master Yinjiang, I present you with ten tails of black dragon fish and a water spirit pearl to congratulate the Great Immortal with Hundred Eyes!"

"Monk Bird of Prey, I present you a magical golden bell and two ghosts, Buddhas, souls and fires to congratulate the Hundred-Eyed Immortal!"

Every time a team approaches the mountain gate of Dixian Temple, special monsters will announce the gifts they have sent, and then there will be the sound of gongs and drums in celebration, making the quiet forest noisy.

"It shouldn't be like this on weekdays."

Zhu Xia stopped and looked at it for a while, counted with her fingers, and then said,

"At this point in time, I think it is the day when the Spiritual Infant Fruit is ripe. These monsters came to celebrate. They were probably invited by my senior brother to obtain a Spiritual Infant Fruit that can cleanse the veins and cut the marrow, so they each brought their own.

Come and find the treasure at the bottom of the box."

"Spiritual Infant Fruit?"

"The most precious spiritual plant in Peng'an. My senior brother said it was cultivated from a fairy fruit seed he brought back from Zhongshan City. Although it is difficult to achieve its original magical effect due to the influence of the environment, it can also transform ordinary monsters.

.”

Recalling what happened in the past, Zhu Xia stopped abruptly mid-sentence, and added after a brief pause,

"If I remember correctly, this fairy fruit seed should have been brought back two hundred years ago. When Zhongshan City was first established, the demons were obsessed with finding the candle dragon and then using it to exchange for blessings from the demons outside the territory. The fairy fruit was the lure.

One of the elements that attracted the candle dragon seemed to be of no use at the time, so it was eaten directly and the seeds were divided among all parties."

While the two were talking, all the monsters who came to celebrate had entered the Earthly Immortal Temple.

Zhu Xia drove away the mountain leopard, suddenly opened her mouth and took a long breath, absorbing the evil energy in the surrounding environment into her body.

Previously in Zhusi Cave Mansion, the evil energy in her body was driven away by Yan Jing. If she had passed in her current state, the Hundred-Eyed Immortal would probably have noticed the abnormality before she could speak, so she could only make some disguises now.

With Yan Jing present, you only need to expel the evil energy from your body after leaving the Dixian Temple.

"I will go to the door alone, and you will wait and see outside. As long as I can successfully obtain enough information, I will evacuate immediately. If there is any change, it will inform you. Baimu's current situation is unknown, and I am not sure whether he can still maintain his former sanity.

"

Raising her hand to Yan Jing, a translucent, thumb-sized spider crawled along the palm of Zhu Xia's palm and onto the back of Yan Jing's hand.

The two of them discussed whether to enter the Dixian Temple together on the way here, but finally decided to go separately.

There is no way, Yan Jing is still a human being after all.

On the other hand, the Dixian Temple is full of monsters and monsters.

Zhu Xia herself suddenly appeared after being sealed for decades, so there was no guarantee that she would not arouse suspicion.

Baimu Daxian said he was Zhu Xia's senior brother, but in fact it was just a name.

Both of them were trained by mountain spirits. The master only has this world, so the friendship is naturally not as deep as imagined.

Zhu Xia disguised herself by absorbing the evil energy in the surrounding environment. After making sure that she would not be exposed, she went straight to the Dixian Temple. As expected, her appearance caused a shock in the Dixian Temple.

, she has always been the demon king recognized by Peng'an.

Yan Jing hid in the dense forest, masked his own aura, looked around, and quickly found a particularly lush giant tree to climb up. With [Tongxuan], he could easily have a panoramic view of the scenes inside and outside the Dixian Temple.

The first thing I noticed was that after Zhu Xia appeared, another tyrannical aura suddenly rose up inside the Dixian Temple.

When the Great Immortal Zhu Si, who had disappeared for decades, arrived, it was impossible for the little Taoist boy to receive him.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown striding out of the temple. Before anyone arrived, his voice spread out first. He ignored the monsters who had just entered the temple and came to congratulate him and went straight to Zhu Zhu.

Gone with the clouds.

Realizing that this guy should be the Great Immortal with Hundred Eyes, Yan Jing's eyes immediately flashed with brilliance, and he activated [Dongxu] and [Double Pupil] one after another.

Zhu Xia had reminded her when she came that the Hundred-Eyed Immortal had stood in the camp of the extraterrestrial demons a hundred years ago, participated in hunting the candle dragon in Zhongshan City, and was somewhat famous, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain the fairy fruit seeds.

This means that the Hundred-Eyed Immortal has probably begun to actively transform into evil spirits, trying to transform himself into an evil spirit that retains a certain amount of sanity, and this is what many demons pursue.

After all, in their view, this world has been polluted, and the creatures in it cannot escape this disaster.

Since no one can escape this ending, it is better to adapt to it earlier.

Because of this, Yan Jing wanted to confirm the situation of the Hundred-Eyed Immortal before making subsequent plans.

However, after just a few seconds of observation, Yan Jing's expression became more solemn.

The presence of the Dragon and Tiger Yama statues made Yan Jing's perception of evil spirits particularly keen. Even though the two sides were hundreds of meters apart, he could still clearly sense that the progress of the Hundred-Eyed Immortal's transformation into evil spirits was probably far beyond Zhu Xia's imagination.

What's more important is that the Hundred-Eyed Immortal has apparently been unable to control the overflow of evil energy, and can only cover up this abnormal state with soaring demonic energy.

Monsters with lower strength than him will only think that the Hundred-Eyed Immortal is powerful and tyrannical, but will not think of the deeper level.

only

The Hundred-Eyed Immortal has clearly reached the critical moment of transforming into an evil spirit. Why did he choose to hold a banquet at this time and invite the famous monsters in Peng'an to come here.

Just to celebrate the spiritual baby fruit he planted?

Yan Jing lowered his head and glanced at the spider lying on the back of his hand. There was currently no movement. Yan Jing quickly realized that Bai Mu Daxian might have ulterior motives for this banquet, but now Zhu Xia had entered the Taoist temple.

At least until Zhu Xia obtains enough information, Yan Jing cannot let the Hundred-Eyed Immortal notice anything unusual.

certainly.

Yan Jing was not prepared to just watch, but chose to avoid the main entrance of Dixian Temple and sneak in.

Since the banquet was to be held, it was nominally to celebrate the maturity of the Lingying Fruit. The venue would be near the Lingying Fruit Tree without even thinking about it. Yan Jing did not need to lead the way, as long as he found the location of the Lingying Fruit Tree.

The spiritual plants cultivated from fairy fruit seeds are naturally extraordinary.

As soon as he crossed the courtyard wall of Dixian Temple from the side, Yan Jing's eyes were quickly attracted to a lush purple tree in the distance.

Its trunk is blue-black in color and extremely thick. It is roughly estimated to be as large as twenty people hugging each other. Its surface is crisscrossed with ravines and crisscrosses, like the blood and meridians of living beings. Its height is average, only twenty or thirty meters, and it is slightly taller.

Bloated.

The crown of the tree is particularly lush, and its color gradually changes from blue-black at the lower parts to deep purple at the highest parts.

The entire fruit tree was shrouded in a hazy purple light, and there were many strange-looking fruits hanging among the branches.

Even though there were some guesses from their names, Yan Jing still couldn't help but frown when he saw these fruits that looked like sleeping babies.

What concerned him even more was that this so-called spiritual plant cultivated from fairy fruit seeds gave him an extremely gloomy aura. Although it was full of vitality, it was still difficult to cover up the disgusting, filthy and dead aura within it.

!

Combined with the fact that the Hundred-Eyed Immortal was about to completely transform into an evil and chaotic state, Yan Jing suddenly made some assumptions in his mind.

It seems that this banquet is most likely to be the Hongmen Banquet.

When Yan Jing sneaked into Dixian Temple, the greetings at the gate of the temple had also ended.

The two demon kings, Bai Mu and Zhu Xia, walked at the front, while the other demons and ghosts followed respectfully behind them, not daring to overstep the mark.

"Junior sister, you said that the evil energy in the body was greatly dissipated because the inner demons were eliminated. Do inner demons actually have such miraculous effects?"

Shaking his Taoist robe lightly, he took out a few pills and stuffed them into his mouth. The Hundred-Eyed Immortal's slightly yellow eyes stared straight at the radiant Zhu Xia. Sensing the latter's aura, he asked with a strange expression.

"I don't know, it's just a guess. I can't rule out that it's because of the treasure in Zhusi Cave. My brother may not believe it. A few years ago, my group of apprentices accidentally found a stone slab on which flowers, birds, fish and insects from ancient times were engraved.

, they placed the stone slab where I slept, and over time, the evil energy in my body gradually dissolved, and even the inner demons were relieved."

This excuse was made by Zhu Xia on the way here. Anyway, Bai Mu would not be able to find those spider spirits that had been frozen into ice sculptures in a short time to verify.

"It can dispel evil energy. Unfortunately, it would have been better if you had come earlier."

He grabbed Zhu Xia's wrist and carefully sensed the evil energy in her body. He couldn't hide his excitement, but then he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"Does Junior Sister carry such treasures with her?"

"I'm really in a hurry. I just want to see my senior brother and tell you the good news. So the stone slab is still stored in the Zhusi Cave. If my senior brother wants to see it, I'll go back and get it right away?"

"No, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I'll go with you after the banquet is over. The Spiritual Infant Fruit only matures once every hundred years. Don't miss this opportunity."

Hearing that Zhu Xia was going back to get it, Bai Mu's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly waved her hand to keep the former, and then said,

"There are seven ripe fruits this time. Apart from the few Taoist friends I invited from Peng'an, there are still two or three left, which are enough for you and me to reach a higher level. It's just a good time to celebrate your breakthrough.

Get rid of your inner demons.”

"Thank you very much, senior brother."

Zhu Xia looked at Bai Mu in surprise, knowing how much the latter valued the Lingying Fruit Tree.

The fruit that blooms every thirty years, bears fruit every thirty years, and matures every thirty years is a unique gift. Unexpectedly, it was willing to share it with others, which made Zhu Xia vaguely aware of something strange.

It's just that what she wants now is to obtain information as soon as possible, and she doesn't care about anything else. She just continues to ask,

"In a few days, I want to go to Zhongshan City and see my old friends. I don't know where the old turtle in the Tongtian River is. It's still sinking to the bottom of the water as before. I have to bring gifts to my door before I can take a fish ride.

dragon?"

"Tongtian River has changed its owner more than ten years ago. The old turtle was affected by the evil energy and his strength declined so seriously that he was overturned and usurped his position by the current owner of Tongtian River. Now he wants to go to Zhongshan City.

I have to give a gift to the translator, junior sister. If you want to go, I will fix a book later. The translator is old to me, so I won’t embarrass you."

Stroking three strands of beard, Bai Mu recalled what happened in Tongtianhe a few years ago and said.

"Is the old turtle still alive now?"

"He's not dead. The old guy has been entrenched in Tongtian River for so many years. Even if he can't win, escaping will not be a problem."

Noticing the expression on Zhu Xia's face, Bai Mu couldn't help but frown and reminded,

"I know that you have an old relationship with that old turtle. When that damn evil barrier abandoned you, you rode it to Zhongshan City. Senior brother will not hide it from you. You had to accept the order of the Demon King of Zhongshan City to become a disciple.

The new Lord of the Tongtian River, you’d better not have any contact with it in the future, there were many demons who had a grudge about what happened back then.”

"Senior brother, don't worry. I've been so introspective that so many years have passed without me realizing it. Now that I think about it, I don't know if the friends I made in Zhongshan City will recognize me when we meet again."

Past memories came to mind, and the familiar face overlapped with that of the young man outside the Earth Immortal Temple. Zhu Xia's expression was gloomy. After a brief silence, a firm look flashed in her eyes, but her face still had a casual expression.

asked,

"By the way, I remember that Zhongshan City was built to eliminate Zhulong. In the past few decades, has Zhulong been found by those demon kings?"

"I heard that there is some progress, but it is just progress. What has not been achieved in hundreds of years, decades of time are not enough to waste, but now there are many demon kings sitting in Zhongshan City. Even if the candle dragon wakes up, there will be

Can't afford any trouble."

Not only Zhu Xia, but also Bai Mu's attention was not focused on the conversation. They were completely unaware of the temptation in the former's words. Instead, they walked faster and faster towards the Lingying Fruit Tree, coughing from time to time.

The monsters following behind were all thinking about enjoying the Spiritual Infant Fruit. Only Zhu Xia frowned secretly and turned sideways to look at the shadow trailing behind her.

I don’t know if it’s because it overlaps with the shadows of nearby trees or something else.

Under the moonlight.

The shadow cast by hundreds of eyes on the ground actually extended into dozens of long and narrow "branches", swinging endlessly.
