Chapter 1341  Nine-Layered Palace

"May I ask Senior Demon King: When will the reinforcements from Xiaoyao Ocean arrive?"

"This... At the latest at dusk today, my Xiaoyao demon army will arrive!"

"May I ask Senior Tongtian: How many monks are left following the Tongtian?"

"This..." Facing Xiao Mian's question, the Tongtian ship owner was speechless for a moment, but it was the maid behind him who answered for him: "About 70% left!"

"Almost there?"

"What?"

"You kid, explain clearly: what is almost there?"

The Xiaoyao Demon King and the Tongtian ship owner looked at each other.

Only the maid had a gleam in her eyes, as if she was smiling.

"The Blood Shadow Bandit's appetite is about this big! The Blood Shadow Bandit's courage is about this big! About - it's time to pass!"

"You mean: The Blood Shadow Bandit never thought of attacking the Tongtian?"

"You mean: their target is those scattered monks?"

"The Tongtian is a dignified earth-level treasure ship. It has Senior Tongtian sitting in charge and Senior Xiaoyao Demon King helping it. Even if the Blood Shadow Bandit goes out in full force, what can it achieve?"

Xiao Mian, at a glance, revealed the truth.

The owner of the Tongtian ship and Xiaoyao Demon King looked at each other, both annoyed and angry.

Unexpectedly, the two big guys were actually tricked by the Blood Shadow Bandit.

"Hmph! Since you knew this long ago, why didn't you say it clearly? The 30% of monks who lost and the wealth they carried were amazing, and they were just sent to the Blood Shadow Bandit for nothing. To be honest: Are you an undercover spy sent by the Blood Shadow Bandit?"

After a disagreement, the owner of the Tongtian ship wanted to embarrass Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian said nothing, just looked at the maid quietly.

I don't know what the female cultivator said to the Tongtian master, anyway, the Tongtian master, who was originally furious, suddenly stopped and fell silent.

Although Xiaoyao Demon King was also a little indignant, he couldn't get angry after all.

The scattered ones were the cultivators of Jinghai Market, and the lost ones were the money of Jinghai Market. Tongtian did not make trouble, so why should he, a demon king of Xiaoyao Ocean, be anxious?

Besides, at this point, Xiaoyao King has seen some things.

Although the Tongtian master has amazing cultivation, the leader of Tongtian seems not to be the Tongtian master, but the inconspicuous maid behind him.

Could it be that this female cultivator is the master of Tongtian?

Humph!

There is a long way to go!

As long as Tongtian settles in Xiaoyao Ocean, there will be plenty of opportunities to figure out these things.

Xiaoyao King closed his eyes and said nothing, but Tongtian had other things to do.

Like Zhu Yu, there were many people who were driven off the flying boat and treasure ship midway.

In front of Xiao Mian, the maid had already passed the order.

There were still vacancies on the Tongtian, and the monks who had nowhere to stay and wanted to move to Xiaoyao Ocean with the Tongtian could all board the Tongtian.

Everyone worked together to overcome difficulties.

For a time, the reputation of the Tongtian for its righteousness resounded throughout the East China Sea.

Xiao Mian saw it, but he didn't say anything.

This kind of trick to win people's hearts was just what Xiao Mian had left...

But after that, the blood shadow killer did not come again.

At dusk, a turbid wave came over the eastern sea.

The first to bear the brunt were three huge ocean-going ships, each of which was three times larger than the Canghai that Xiao Mian had taken before.

Around the three ocean-going ships were countless large and small ocean-going ships.

Above the ocean liner, various flying boats and treasure ships were densely packed...

King Xiaoyao stood at the bow of the Tongtian, feeling quite high-spirited.

This time, King Xiaoyao had invested a lot of money.

This demon army was almost equal to half of the troops of Xiaoyao Ocean.

With the protection of the Xiaoyao Ocean demon army, the people in Jinghai Market were as safe as a rock.

With their hearts settled, they continued to head towards Xiaoyao Ocean.

As for Xiao Mian, seeing that the big thing was settled, he was too lazy to stay on the Tongtian.

Silently, Xiao Mian returned to the Thunder Ship.

After visiting Zhu Yu's grandmother, Xiao Mian did not hesitate to ask questions about illusions and illusion arrays. For a while, he felt that he had benefited a lot.

In return, Xiao Mian took out some suitable magic weapons and gave them to the other party.

The exchange of gifts can be regarded as a good relationship...

After going back and forth like this, after more than ten days, Xiaoyao Ocean was in sight.

Speaking of Xiaoyao Ocean, it is even more beautiful than Lingyangze of King Ran Yi.

In the center of Xiaoyao Ocean, there is also a continent in the sea with a radius of a thousand miles. The east and west ends of this continent are sharp, and the north and south ends are smooth, just like a crab shell.

Around the crab shell, there are eight crab claws symmetrical on the left and right.

In the north of the land, two huge crab claws are like sickles, which should not be underestimated.

If you look down from an infinite height, Xiaoyao Ocean looks like a crab!

The residence of King Xiaoyao is in the center of the huge crab shell, called Xiaoyao Palace.

Although King Xiaoyao went straight to Xiaoyao Palace, the people who moved here from Jinghai Market could not do as they please.

On the west side of Xiaoyao Ocean, everyone set up camp.

Three days later, Xiaoyao Palace and Tongtian reached a consensus.

From now on, the original team of people who originally belonged to Jinghai Market can do business in the market between the four crab claws on the west side of Xiaoyao Ocean and the central continent.

The four crab claws are all natural harbors, and they are very close to the central continent of Xiaoyao Ocean. The concentration of spiritual energy there is even higher than that of Jinghai Market.

The people who have persisted until now have finally tasted some sweetness...

But at this time, Xiao Mian received a call from the master of Tongtian Ship.

At first, Xiao Mian thought that after the Tongtian ship owner settled down, he would mention the cooperation between the Tongtian and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to him, which made him feel overwhelmed.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Tongtian Pavilion, Xiao Mian did not see the Tongtian ship owner.

Instead, the maid from before was waiting for Xiao Mian.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At this point, Xiao Mian knew that his suspicion had come true!

The leader of the Tongtian ship in Jinghai Market was not the Tongtian ship owner who was a high-level Yuanying monk, but the unknown maid he mentioned before!

"I am Xiao Mian of Nanyue! May I ask fellow Taoist: what is my identity?"

"Haha! You are smart! You didn't deliberately make up some thankless lies to fool me! Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive today!"

"In fact, I have already confessed my identity since I took out the Heaven-Monitoring Order that day, right?" Facing the maid, Xiao Mian said neither arrogantly nor humbly: "In such a big Zhongzhou, who doesn't know that the Heaven-Monitoring Angel of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is me - Xiao Mian of Nanyue?"

"..., that's right! Then I will also tell you the truth!" Taking a deep breath, the maid said to Xiao Mian with a serious face: "I am the master of Tongtian!"

The female cultivator is called Su Qingling, and she is the second-generation owner of Tongtian.

Su Qingling's grandmother was the founder who founded Tongtian. Logically, Su Qingling's mother should be in charge of Tongtian.

However, her mother had passed away long ago. When her grandmother died, Su Qingling had just formed a demon pill and was completely unable to manage the huge foundation of Tongtian alone.

Fortunately, her grandmother had made preparations and left someone to protect Su Qingling.

It was the owner of Tongtian!

Although Su Qingling was vague, Xiao Mian could guess a little.

It is likely that the owner of Tongtian, who was born as a human cultivator, had some relationship with Su Qingling's grandmother, so he accepted the task and became the guardian of Tongtian.

As Su Qingling grew older, she gradually showed an outstanding talent for business.

The owner of Tongtian was relieved to hand over all the affairs of Tongtian to her.

In recent years, the owner of Tongtian has been obedient to Su Qingling and doted on her.

After both parties spoke frankly, the atmosphere became harmonious.

"Since Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn't want to mention the alliance between Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and Tongtian, Qing Ling won't spoil the fun. My Tongtian has encountered a huge change, and it is reasonable for Fellow Daoist Xiao to have some concerns! Today, Qing Ling asked Fellow Daoist Xiao to come here for another matter!"

"Miss Su misunderstood! Regarding the alliance, Xiao has not changed his original intention. However, this matter is of great importance. When Shancai Tongzun comes to Xiaoyao Ocean in person in the future, Xiao is willing to introduce Miss and also to promote the alliance between Tongtian and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce!" After stating his attitude first, Xiao Mian turned to ask: "I don't know what Miss Su said, but before, Xiao asked Tongtian to find my elder brother?"

"Yes! Since you are Xiao Mian of Nanyue, your elder brother should be Gui Hai, a casual cultivator from Xishuzhou, right? I heard that after the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference ended, he joined Badao City. This time, I also traced some clues through this..."

At that moment, Su Qingling revealed Gui Hai's whereabouts.

That day, Xiao Mian stepped into the trap set by Meng Yin and Xia Bingxin, and Gui Hai ran into a man right after him. It was that man who took Gui Hai out of Jinghai Market.

According to the information obtained by Tongtian, that man is likely to be a swordsman from Badao City!

What made Xiao Mian even more worried was that following the clues of that man, Tongtian learned that the man was not traveling alone, but was traveling with two other people.

One of them was a disciple of Baimei Mountain, and the other was a disciple of Lingxiu Palace.

Hearing this, Xiao Mian almost had a general idea.

Gui Hai once said that when Wangxian City asked Badao City for help, Badao City sent dozens of cultivators including Gui Hai, as well as Baimei Mountain and Lingxiu Palace.

Just like Gui Hai, Dong Qingyan and Yue Lingyin went out to sea together to find the monks of Wangxian City who were lost in the open sea, other people were doing the same thing.

The difference is that everyone has their own destiny!

Gui Hai and his three companions fought fiercely, Yue Lingyin died, and Dong Qingyan was seriously injured.

The three of them did not fight to the death, but traveled together.

But the monk from Ba Dao City was obviously traveling with three people, so why did he go to Gui Hai alone?

Is there a trick?

"May I ask Miss Su: where did my eldest brother go in the end?"

"You will never guess!" Su Qingling smiled mysteriously and revealed the answer: "Gui Hai and his companions arrived in Xiaoyao Ocean three days earlier than us!"

Xiaoyao Ocean!

After a round of wandering, Gui Hai and Xiao Mian actually came to Xiaoyao Ocean!

Hearing this news, Xiao Mian was relieved first...

But when he wanted to ask about Gui Hai's whereabouts in Xiaoyao Ocean, Su Qingling politely refused on the grounds that Tongtian had just arrived and had no news.

After walking out of Tongtian Pavilion, Xiao Mian was a little unhappy, but not angry.

Tongtian Pavilion didn't owe him anything, so naturally he had no obligation to do his best.

Now that I know that Gui Hai has come to Xiaoyao Ocean, I must know if he is safe now with my own means...

Maybe I have to trouble the demon king!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian has already headed towards the Central Continent.

Xiaoyao Palace, as the residence of the Xiaoyao King, is built magnificently.

From a distance, it doesn't look like a place where demons live, but clearly a royal palace.

The entire Xiaoyao Palace looks like a nine-layered palace towering into the clouds. Looking up, there is a palace with one layer of palace and one layer of sky. At the top of the nine-layered palace, there is a golden palace shining brightly.

This Xiaoyao King actually knows how to enjoy...

After suppressing his resentment, Xiao Mian took out the jade order that King Xiaoyao had taken off his waist that day, regarded it as a seal order, and walked into Xiaoyao Palace.

If you really want to talk about it, the palace restrictions in Xiaoyao Palace are not impressive.

All Xiaoyao foreign monks, regardless of whether they are male or female, can enter Xiaoyao Palace to visit.

Of course, according to the status level of various monks, the number of palaces that can be entered is also different. For example, what Xiao Mian is holding can reach the highest peak of the nine-level palace.

After enjoying the scenery of Xiaoyao Palace all the way, Xiao Mian climbed to the top of the Nine Layers Palace.

King Xiaoyao seemed to have received the news a long time ago and was standing in front of the golden palace.

"In your opinion, Supervisor of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, which one is better than the Tianxia City at the headquarters of your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?"

"...Senior Demon King, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

"Oh? What about the truth? What about lies? You might as well tell it and listen!"

"Senior Demon King, this Xiaoyao Palace is indeed a fairyland on earth, extraordinary! It is only Tianxia City, but it is ranked the fourth largest city in the world. Tiandu City, which is the number one in the world, is probably not as good as Senior Demon King, your Xiaoyao Palace - -Of course, this is a lie!"

"Hmph! Where's the truth?"

"Imitating what you have done in the past is superfluous!"

"you!"

"Senior Demon King! You have lived in the East China Sea for a long time and there are abundant marine products. It is not difficult to build a magnificent sea scene. Why bother and have to go through the thankless work of accumulating soil into a mountain?" Before King Xiaoyao could get angry, Xiao Mian had already said to himself: "Looking at the layout of your nine-layered palace, it is obvious that you want to imitate the high mountains and rivers of the ocean. However, most of the spiritual stones you use are crude and crude. They have neither aura nor spirituality. Painting a tiger cannot be compared to a dog!"

"...You really dare to say that!" Suppressing the anger in his heart, King Xiaoyao rolled his eyes, closed the folding fan in his hand, pointed at Xiao Mian's nose, and asked nicely: "You are from the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce? Supervisor Angel, can you help me rebuild this palace?"

"Then it depends - how many beads do you plan to spend, Senior Demon King?"

"I have no spare money!" After categorically rejecting it, King Xiaoyao changed the topic: "However, if you can satisfy me, I can agree to your three requests!"

"Senior Demon King, are you serious about this?"

"Of course, these three requirements are not arbitrary and must be approved by the king!"

"Okay! I dare to ask Senior Demon King: Do you have any other special requirements?"

"This... doesn't matter! Come with me!"

After pondering for a moment, Xiaoyao Dynasty waved to Xiao Mian, gesturing for Xiao Mian to follow.

At that moment, under the leadership of King Xiaoyao, Xiao Mian went deep into the deepest part of Xiaoyao Palace.
