Chapter 1564  Diverting Trouble to the East

"Ling'er! Are you unwilling to return to Shichahai? Why?"

"Brother Xiao! My cousin Lan is no longer the same as before!"

"Tuoba? What happened to him...what happened to him?"

"Since becoming the guardian of the holy monk, cousin Lan seems to have changed. Sometimes I really don't understand: why did the little holy monk choose him as the guardian?"

Tuoba Ling was unwilling to speak clearly, and Xiao Mian didn't ask too much.

Besides, wasn't everything different between him, Xiao Mian, and Tuoba Lan?

"Ling'er! If you don't return to Shichahai, where are you going to go?"

"This..."

The world is so big, but Tuoba Ling has no place to stay for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian sighed quietly.

"Among the ten major Buddhist temples in Xishuzhou, there is a Cihang Jingzhai, which is full of nuns. I have some friendship with Master Jingyin, the host of Cihang Jingzhai. Are you willing to..."

"Brother Xiao! Do you want me to become a nun?"

"That's not what I mean! There are also lay female practitioners in Cihang Jingzhai!"

"It's a nunnery after all! I don't want to go there!" After a pause, Tuoba Ling whispered: "How can the Buddhist Pure Land be clean?"

Obviously, Tuoba Ling no longer has a good impression of Buddhism...

Seeing this, Xiao Mian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in the entire Xishuzhou! In this case, are you willing to follow me back to Nanyuezhou? Wanzong City is safer after all!"

"Nanyue? Yes! I am willing!" Tuoba Ling's eyes lit up, staring at Xiao Mian, muttering to himself: "As long as I follow Brother Xiao! Anywhere is fine!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mian sighed softly.

I haven't sorted out Ye Qingguo yet, and now there's another Tuoba Ling...

However, whether it's Ye Qingguo or Tuoba Ling, Xiao Mian can't just ignore them - let's take it one step at a time!

"Okay! Just follow me..."

Take out a stool and give it to Tuoba Ling, Xiao Mian takes Tuoba Ling back to the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, and then directly returns to Wanzong City.

After contacting Xuancao, Xiao Mian entrusted Tuoba Ling to Xuancao's care.

He himself has a very urgent matter to deal with.

It's about the life and death of the Netherworld Ghost Realm!

Without stopping, Xiao Mian went straight to the Five Elements Gate.

Going deep into the Five Elements Gate, Xiao Mian went deep into the ground.

At this time, the outside of the passage was no longer deserted.

Two Tianzun ghost cultivators were guarding the outside of the passage.

Xiao Mian did not hide his identity and appeared directly at the entrance of the passage.

"Excuse me, two seniors! I want to see your young master!"

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here?"

"Since I know this place, I am not an outsider!" Xiao Mian said with a hint of meaning: "This matter not only involves your young master, but also Senior Ghost Emperor!"

"..."

Facing Xiao Mian's calmness, the two Heavenly Venerable Ghost Cultivators looked at each other.

At this moment, one of them stayed to monitor Xiao Mian, and the other flew towards the direction of the Gate of the Underworld - obviously, the Gate of the Underworld is the top priority.

I am afraid that a large number of barriers have been set up around the entire Gate of the Underworld.

After all, this is not only the passage for ghost cultivators in the spirit world to enter here, but also the entrance for them to return to the spirit world when the spirit war ends in the future!

Once the Gate of the Underworld is lost, the ghost cultivators in the spirit world will need to fight.

Not long after, the Ghost Dao Heavenly Venerable went and returned.

Accompanying him was a Nine Netherworld clone - Xia Jiuyou's clone!

Xia Jiuyou certainly couldn't stand Xiao Mian, and Xiao Mian also couldn't stand Xia Jiuyou.

Just like that, Xiao Mian, under the guidance of Xia Jiuyou's Jiuyou clone, only walked towards the gate of the underworld. Along the way, the two were silent.

When they arrived at the gate of the underworld, Xiao Mian looked up, his expression was uncertain.

Before, Xiao Mian had sat quietly by the gate of the underworld for a long time, just to help Fu Qingjue sacrifice the ghost body of the Styx. Xiao Mian was not unfamiliar with the gate of the underworld.

However, the gate of the underworld at this time was completely different.

The entire gate of the underworld was not only three times larger, but also twisted from the previous calm water, shaped like an inverted funnel, and like a pyramid, as if something in the gate of the underworld was about to break out of the ground and break through the air...

It was even more like a ferocious beast trying to escape.

In the center of the gate of the underworld, there was a white bone demon tower, sitting in it.

Without saying anything, the Nine Netherworld clone went straight to the White Bone Demon Tower.

Xiao Mian thought for a moment and followed closely.

When passing the gate of the underworld, Xiao Mian was surprised to see countless ghosts of the underworld in the portal below, trying to break through the gate of the underworld and enter here.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through.

Obviously, although the gate of the underworld was opened, there was another mystery.

After finally reaching the White Bone Demon Tower, Xiao Mian went deep into it.

At the top of the White Bone Demon Tower, Xiao Mian met Fu Qingjue as he wished.

Of course, the Nine Netherworld Emperor was always standing beside Fu Qingjue.

"What are you doing here?"

At this time, Fu Qingjue was still as handsome as before.

Xiao Mian was distracted when he saw it.

Fu Qingjue suddenly snorted when he saw it.

Suddenly, there was a wave of icy and piercing spiritual consciousness, attacking Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian was shocked, and the Divine Mirror moved without wind.

With a slight sound of waves, Xiao Mian's body shook.

Obviously, Fu Qingqiong's cultivation level has been quite terrifying.

Otherwise, with the power of the Divine Mirror, Xiao Mian would never be so embarrassed.

But this kind of progress made Xiao Mian not know whether to be happy or depressed...

"Say it quickly if you have something to say! I don't have time to waste with you!"

"..., I wonder what important matter you are busy with? Let me guess: Is it to fulfill the bet between the Ghost Emperor and the Buddha Sakyamuni?"

"You! Did the master even tell you about this?"

The "master" that Fu Qingjue mentioned was naturally the Ghost Emperor of the Spirit World!

Hearing this, Xiao Mian's heart darkened, but he had to cheer up.

"Now the entire West Shu Province is the world of Buddhist cultivators. Even the Netherworld Ghost Domain can only hold out for a while, and it is doomed in the end!"

"Humph! So what? I have the elite ghost cultivators under my master's seat. All of them are one against a hundred. Wherever they point their spearheads, they are invincible!"

"Since the big man of the Buddhist sect dared to make a bet with Senior Ghost Emperor, do you think he is not prepared? Senior Ghost Emperor, you have lost the initiative!"

"..., no problem! I will send troops to West Shu now!"

"Xiao Mou came here to advise you not to send troops to West Shu!"

"You! Humph! I am here to complete the master's order. This matter is more important than the spiritual battle itself. How can you be so talkative?"

"I don't want to prevent you from fighting with Buddhist cultivators, but in my opinion, West Shu Province is not the most suitable casino!"

"Oh? So where do you think is the most suitable casino?"

Narrowing his eyes, Fu Qingjue looked at Xiao Mian with interest.

Xiao Mian took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

"Zhongzhou!" After a pause, Xiao Mian continued: "Qin County!"

Zhongzhou-Qin County!

The geographical location of Qin County is very special.

It is connected to Xishuzhou in the west, Nanyuezhou in the south, and Beiweizhou in the north.

Located in the western border of Zhongzhou, Qin County can be said to be a place of four wars!

If the ghost cultivators of the spiritual world and the Buddhist cultivators of the spiritual world fight in Xishuzhou, it will naturally be a hundred harms and no benefit to Xishuzhou.

No matter who wins, the Buddhist cultivators or the ghost cultivators will get a ruin.

If both sides break into Nanyuezhou, it will naturally not be what Xiao Mian wants to see.

Only this Qin County is right between Xishuzhou and Nanyuezhou...

This is Xiao Mian's strategy-divert the trouble to the east!

The little monk has already made arrangements.

Now, it depends on how Fu Qingqiong decides...

After listening to Xiao Mian's intention, Fu Qingqiong remained silent for a long time.

It was Xia Jiuyou who snorted coldly.

"Hmph! You have a good plan! The Buddhist cultivators and ghost cultivators from the spiritual world are fighting in Qin County. The Taoist sect intervenes and the three parties are fighting. You just sit on the sidelines and watch!"

Xia Jiuyou's words were heartbreaking, but they were exactly what Xiao Mian really wanted.

Facing Xia Jiuyou's questioning, Xiao Mian answered calmly.

"Yes! That's what I meant! But Senior Ghost Emperor just wants you to defeat the Buddhist cultivators. As for where you win, there doesn't seem to be any requirement, right?"

"Can you guarantee that: in Qin County, my Ghost Dao will definitely win?"

"The so-called invincibility is just self-deception! But if the Ghost Dao follows my words and moves to Qin County, I will certainly help you!"

"You? Who do you think you are!?"

"Enough!"

Suddenly, Fu Qingqiong interrupted Xia Jiuyou's shouting.

"Let me ask you: If my ghost cultivators are willing to move to Qin County, what about the spiritual world Buddhist cultivators? Will they be willing to go to Qin County and die?"

"Don't bother with this matter, Your Excellency!"

"Okay!" Fu Qingqiong smiled slightly: "I will do as you wish!"

"Young Master! This... is a big matter, do you want to ask the master?"

"No need! Master gave me the power to make decisions on my own. If I bother Master with such a small matter, aren't you afraid that he will blame me and you and I will suffer?"

"...Yes!"

Although he was a little indignant, Xia Jiuyou didn't dare to act rashly again.

The power to make decisions on my own was indeed what the Ghost Emperor said.

In other words, all matters concerning ghost cultivators in the spiritual world can be decided by Fu Qingqiong alone.

Xia Jiuyou is at best Fu Qingqiong's personal bodyguard. Of course, Xia Jiuyou's other clone is to monitor Fu Qingqiong.

But as long as Fu Qingqiong's decision is not against the Ghost Emperor's will, even Xia Jiuyou cannot bypass Fu Qingqiong and meet the Ghost Emperor directly.

Fu Qingqiong and Xia Jiuyou are very clear about this.

As for Xiao Mian, he felt relieved after getting Fu Qingqiong's response.

With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian remembered something.

"There are two major sects in Qin County, the Seven Emotions Demon Palace and the Supreme Goodness Sect. This is Xiao's old friend. If possible, I hope you will show mercy!"

"As long as they don't interfere in the fight between my ghost cultivators and Buddhist cultivators, I won't bother to deal with them! However, I can't guarantee the Buddhist cultivators!"

"Thank you!"

As for the Buddhist cultivators, Xiao Mian will naturally communicate with the little monk.

Things went so smoothly, Xiao Mian was overjoyed, but now that the official business was over, Xiao Mian was quite melancholy-he no longer had an excuse to stay!

"By the way! Qingjue, the kid, has successfully condensed his infant, and obtained the Hunyuan Dao with the Wanhuan Battle Body. His future achievements are limitless!"

"......, is that so?"

Fu Qingqiong said gently, without changing his expression.

"Big Sister and Chuqing are both fine!"

"......"

At this point, Fu Qingqiong had nothing to say.

It was Xia Jiuyou, who glared at Xiao Mian indignantly.

"You kid! Now that we have finished the business, why don't you get out of here!?"

"Senior Xia! I will leave when it's time to leave - you can't stop me!" Looking at Xia Jiuyou, and seeing Fu Qingqiong silent, Xiao Mian didn't want to embarrass Fu Qingqiong too much, and said in a deep voice: "In that case! Xiao will take his leave now! I only hope that the ghost cultivators in the spirit world will go to Qin County and win a victory for Senior Ghost Emperor!"

Having finished his words, Xiao Mian walked out of the White Bone Demon Tower.

Fu Qingqiong sat high up in the seat, Xia Jiuyou did not move, but a Jiuyou clone followed Xiao Mian out of the White Bone Demon Tower.

Just when Xiao Mian was in the heart of the Gate of the Underworld, suddenly, a faint light broke out from the Gate of the Underworld below, and coincidentally rushed towards Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian was shocked when he saw it, that faint light was clearly a ghost from the Underworld!

Separated by Yin and Yang, if it were in another place, the ghost from the Underworld would never appear in the Yang world, let alone appear in front of Xiao Mian.

Only this Gate of the Underworld could communicate Yin and Yang, which was possible.

But this ghost from the Underworld came at too good of a time!

Although he was terrified, Xiao Mian had to go all out.

The best way to break the ghost from the Underworld was the Three Purities Magic Sword.

Is the Sword of God Slayer just a name for nothing?

With one sword, any spirit, phantom, or divine body vanished into thin air.

The problem is that Xiao Mian knows his own business, and the Three Purities Sword is not reliable - I'm afraid that even when he is hugged by the ghost, the Three Purities Sword may not be activated.

As a second choice, Xiao Mian activated the Three Purities Divine Light.

The Three Purities Divine Light is known as the best divine light for righteousness and exorcism from ancient times to the present!

Wrapping himself with the Three Purities Divine Light, Xiao Mian wanted to see: what can the ghost of the underworld do to him?

As soon as the Three Purities Divine Light appeared, the ghost that had been attacking Xiao Mian directly before suddenly seemed like a headless fly, turning back and forth over the gate of the underworld.

Obviously, it had lost Xiao Mian's coordinates...

At this time, Xiao Mian did not dare to be careless at all.

If it was just this ghost of the underworld, Xiao Mian would have left long ago.

But the time and location of the appearance of this ghost of the underworld were too coincidental.

Xiao Mian did not believe that there was no one behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, seeing that the ghosts in the underworld could not do anything to Xiao Mian, the mastermind behind the scenes finally couldn't help but take action himself - Xia Jiuyou's Jiuyou clone!

This Jiuyou clone is a high-level cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage.

If Xiao Mian wants to deal with it, he must fight hard.

Facing this Jiuyou clone, Xiao Mian has no intention of fighting.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian suddenly shouted.

"Senior Ghost Emperor! Is this how you entertain guests?"

The rolling sound, endless, resounded throughout the gate of the underworld.

In the White Bone Demon Tower, Fu Qingqiong's face changed drastically, and Xia Jiuyou looked ugly.

The next moment, the two disappeared at the same time and appeared next to Xiao Mian at the same time.

"Underworld Emperor! You'd better explain to me: what is going on? Why did a ghost from the underworld escape from the gate of the underworld?"

"This..."

"Why did your Nine Nether clone appear here?"

"..."After enduring again and again, Xia Jiuyou finally couldn't help but speak: "Young Master! This boy is cunning and is definitely not a good person. If he can't be eliminated as soon as possible, he will definitely ruin the master's good deeds and the young master's big things in the future - please understand!"

"Underworld Emperor! He is really loyal!" With eyes like black stars, Fu Qingqiong stared at Xia Jiuyou, but didn't even look at Xiao Mian, and asked calmly: "I just don't know: Underworld Emperor, are you loyal to yourself, or to Master and me?"

"Young Master! This old servant has no second thoughts about the master and the young master!" Halfway through the words, Xia Jiuyou did not answer but asked: "Young Master! Do you still have feelings for him?"

"Why? Do you have any objections?" Without raising his head, Fu Qingqiong said to himself: "Underworld Emperor! Even Master himself has never interfered with my affairs. If you have any objections, you can ask Master for instructions next time you see him!"

"I dare not! I just... I just think that boy is not worthy of the young master! Young Master! You are the master's last disciple! The master favors you very much. In time, you will definitely be able to ascend to the spirit world under the protection of the master! This boy..."

"Enough! I don't want to hear you mention him again!" Fu Qingqiong suddenly roared at Xiao Mian in a cold voice: "Hurry up-get out!?"

From beginning to end, Xiao Mian just stood there, looking at Fu Qingqiong.

When he heard Fu Qingqiong's rude words and ordered him to leave, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly in his heart.

What Xia Jiuyou said might be right: Fu Qingqiong still has feelings for him.

But so what?

With the Ghost Emperor, a powerful spirit world suppressing him, what can Fu Qingqiong do?

What can Xiao Mian do?

After taking a deep look at Fu Qingqiong, Xiao Mian turned and left.

This time, nothing happened along the way.

Fu Qingqiong took a deep breath only after Xiao Mian completely disappeared.

"Pass my order: move to Qin County!"

"..., yes!"

The sky above the huge gate of the underworld fell into a long-lost silence.

It was just because of today that Xishuzhou and Nanyuezhou temporarily escaped the ravages of war, but Zhongzhou Qin County was dragged into the war by Xiao Mian.

Some things are like this, and one link must be broken.

To choose between Nanyuezhou and Qin County, Xiao Mian naturally chose the latter - Xiao Mian was even glad: he had the right to choose!
