Chapter 13 Hope in the Bitter Cold Land
This break was very short, and soon, more than ten flying boats once again surrounded the demon boat and set off.
Not long after flying into the air, Mo Jiuniang appeared in the cabin, followed by about a dozen beautiful or handsome disciples of Hehuan Cult.
Each of these disciples was holding a tray in his hand, which contained exquisite dishes.
Mo Jiuniang clapped her hands lightly, and a long table appeared in the cabin. She asked her disciples to put the dishes on the table, and she introduced Yu Xi: "Your Majesty, the Hehuan Sect has several disciples who are good at cooking. These
The dishes are specially prepared for you.”
There were fish and shrimp on the table, as well as some unrecognizable meat and vegetables.
Yu Xi couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten. She didn't need to eat, but she was still a human being. It didn't matter if she didn't eat before. Now that the delicious food was in front of her, she couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
stand up.
Taking the chopsticks from Mo Jiuniang, she called to the leader and door master in the cabin, "Would you like to sit down and have something to eat together?"
Everyone declined, saying that they had been abstinent for many years, and in turn advised Yu Xi that her cultivation had not yet recovered and that she should eat more food containing spiritual energy like this.
Yu Xi didn't try to persuade her any more, picked up her chopsticks, and reached out to the plate of crystal clear shrimps in front of her.
A disciple of the Hehuan Cult who was waiting aside introduced, "This dish is ice-drunk crystal shrimp. It uses crystal shrimp from Xizhou and is marinated in high-purity spirit wine. The shrimp meat melts in your mouth and the aftertaste is rich and endless."
It sounded very good. Yu Xi took a chopstick to his mouth and almost spit it out.
Is this... really a shrimp?
Why does my mouth taste slimy, like disgusting slugs?
She moved her chopsticks to the second dish again. This time it was a steamed fish, which was also made from the best ingredients. You could taste that the fish was indeed very tender, but it was also very fishy, making you not even interested in taking a second bite.
.
The remaining dishes all had problems to one degree or another. They were either fishy or rancid, or they were too bitter.
After tasting it all, Yu Xi lost hope in the food in this world.
Mo Jiuniang and a group of Hehuan Cult disciples were still watching eagerly. Yu Xi didn't want to offend their good intentions, so she forced herself to eat a few more bites of each dish, and praised "Not bad" before using the excuse of "I'm full."
"I left the dining table and sat back by the window.
It had been more than half a day since the magic boat entered Beizhou. The land below was becoming increasingly barren and the population was extremely sparse. Yu Xi looked down through the window and could not see any towns or villages for more than a hundred miles.
It is in quite sharp contrast to the prosperity and wealth of Central Continent.
The right protector followed her gaze and looked down, sighing: "Beizhou is a bitter cold land, with few spiritual veins and scarce spiritual minerals. It is also difficult to grow crops and cultivate spiritual plants. Families and sects with connections have been growing up over the years.
Moved away from Beizhou."
"In Beizhou today, apart from us demons, there are only some casual cultivators and ordinary people with low cultivation levels left." The Right Protector pointed to a black line on the horizon, "Your Majesty, the Guijian Ridge is ahead. Once you pass it, you can enter.
To our demonic territory."
"This doesn't count?" Yu Xi was a little surprised. Why did she think that entering Beizhou was regarded as the territory of a demon cultivator?
Protector You explained to Yu Xi, "In fact, according to the results of the last good and evil conference, the current sphere of influence of the good and the evil is bounded by Guijianling. It's just that Beizhou is barren, and the right way looks down upon this kind of place. After so many years,
No one was sent to take care of it."
The cabin suddenly became silent.
Facing Yu Xi, Protector You and all the leaders, the sect leader felt extremely ashamed.
It is recorded in the classics of the Demonic Way that before the Demon Lord led the Demonic Way, the Demonic Way's sphere of influence was only within Guijian Ridge. Later, the Demonic Lord led the Demonic Way to flourish and develop, and its sphere of influence extended from Guijian Ridge to Lingzhou Mountain. At its peak, Xiuzhen
Sixty percent of the world's land belongs to the devil!
And now, they have gone back again.
The right protector lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, we can't help you."
The atmosphere in the cabin was extremely solemn. Yu Xi had no experience in comforting others. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and patted the right protector on the shoulder, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
"The lost territory can be regained."
The right protector was greatly moved, and the leaders and sect leaders in the cabin also felt their hearts shaken.
Yes, their demonic ways are no longer the demonic ways they used to be.
Now that they have the leadership of Lord Demon Lord, they are no longer what they used to be!
Let the righteous bastards be free for a few more days. When Lord Demon Lord recovers his cultivation, he will surely lead them to the righteous path and win back all the lost territories!
Yu Xi didn't know that they had so much on their minds. If they knew, they might have to re-plan their escape route.
The Demon Lord's burden is too heavy for her small body to carry!
As he spoke, the demon boat flew forward a few more miles, and finally a city appeared below. The city was quite large, and through the broken city walls and towers, one could vaguely see its former momentum.
Now there are only ruins left, not even a city gate, the city is also in tatters, and there are almost no decent houses.
As the magic boat flew over, it happened to see a group of people walking out of the city. The group of people, old and young, carried shovels and shovels, and kept digging along the wasteland outside the city.
Yu Xi: "What are they?"
The right protector was silent for a moment, "They... are digging tree roots."
Yu Xi was stunned.
She suddenly remembered that when she was in the palace before, Xia Die told her that the low-level demon cultivators in the Guijian Ridge area were in a miserable situation and could only survive by digging tree roots and peeling off tree bark...
I didn’t expect this to be true. The people here are actually so poor!
As the demon boat passed by, the group of people holding shovels raised their heads and looked into the air. They were stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and fell to their knees one after another, just like the righteous disciples on the flying boat half a day ago, facing the demon devoutly.
The boat bowed its head in the direction of departure.
From here, go all the way north.
Similar scenes keep happening.
The magic boat passing through the clouds seems to have re-infused hope into this bitter cold land.
Yu Xi on the demon boat was the one who was bowed down by everyone, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
The situation in the devil's path was far more miserable than she imagined. However, under such circumstances, they built a magic boat for her and prepared spiritual meals...
Her heart is not iron-clad, and the details of her interactions with the demon cultivators these past few days are constantly emerging in her mind. Even if she is not a real demon, she still wants to do something for them.
…
After passing Guijian Ridge, Yu Xi made the decision and let the flying boats from each sect take the lead to bring the disciples back.
The left and right have already entered the territory of the devil, and there is no need for so many people to escort them.
In the end, only the right guardian, the leader, and the sect leaders on the demon boat were left, accompanying Yu Xi to the Moon View Valley.
We have already penetrated deep into the territory of the demonic realm. The further we fly forward, the thicker the fog becomes.
Through the window, I can barely see the scenery outside.
Mumu, wrapped around Yu Xi's wrist, whispered to her: "I heard from the disciple who cleans the palace that the Moon View Valley is called this name because it has been shrouded in mist for many years. Only when the moon is full, will the moon appear.
Revealed.”
The speed of the demon boat gradually slowed down.
The right protector opened the hatch and said, "Your Majesty, the Moon View Valley has arrived."
Yu Xi walked out of the magic boat with everyone. There were twenty or thirty people waiting outside, all of them were guards from the Yuejian Valley. Among them, the guard leader had already reached the Fenshen realm, and the remaining guards were all at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms.
.
Everyone surrounded Yu Xi all the way to the bottom of the valley.
The real magic palace stands here.
Different from the palace on Lingzhou Mountain, this magic palace is more magnificent.
The guards stopped when they walked outside the palace. Further forward, there was an invisible barrier that blocked their footsteps. Even though they had been guarding here for dozens or hundreds of years, they had never stepped into the barrier, and they had never stepped inside the barrier.
I have witnessed what the inside of the Demon Palace really looks like.
Naturally, the right protector and sect leader, as well as the religious leaders, have not seen each other.
Everyone is looking forward to the reopening of this palace, which has been dormant for thousands of years, in the hands of Yu Xi.
"Please." The guard commander made a gesture of invitation to Yu Xi.
Everyone's eyes fell on the palace in front of them. No one paid attention to his words, and they didn't even mention the honorific title for Lord Demon Lord.
He looked at someone in the escort team. When Yu Xi raised his feet and stepped forward, he shouted: "The Demon Lord is fake!"
As expected, the scene of "Lord Demon Lord" being bounced away by the barrier did not appear.
The words just fell.
The purple figure had already entered the Demon Palace formation and turned around to look at him.
