Chapter 110: The Great Secret and My Life

Just as another voice was about to answer, a scene appeared on a blue crystal stone the height of a person in the tree-hole room; to be precise, a figure appeared on the crystal.

A hoarse voice was heard coming from the crystal.

"Taohua Xianren, the birthday of Baie Hou is approaching, there are only a few days left. He sent this old man to ask, how are you coming along with that great matter? Do not tell me there has been no progress. If those above blame us, let alone you, even Baie Hou cannot afford the consequences. In that case, your good days will be at an end. I think you understand the stakes involved better than I do!"

The strange person, entirely hidden within a long robe, appeared very respectful, keeping a very low posture as he spoke reverently.

"What you say is absolutely correct, Lord Chang. How would this lowly one dare to neglect the task entrusted by Baie Hou? The matter is nearly finished; only the final step remains before we can release those ancestors who have been sealed in Taoyuan Xujing for nearly ten thousand years, generation after generation."

"Haha!" The figure laughed triumphantly.

"This is the most pleasant thing I have heard. When the time comes, we will borrow the power of these ancestors to open the Five Forbidden Gates of Man in the Renjie, completely destroying the seals in the Baoxu, Qianxu, and even the Wanxu. We will release the powerful ancient demons and ancient monsters of the Lower Ancient, Middle Ancient, Upper Ancient, and even the Primordial eras sealed within. Finally, by borrowing the power of the ancient demons and monsters, we will break through the Five Forbidden Gates of Earth and the Five Forbidden Gates of Heaven, completely controlling the Shiguang zhi He, piercing through the three..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he vanished completely with a scream.

Appearing on the crystal was the mountain-like black shadow of a towering giant tiger, and immediately after, a voice as chilling as an Arctic wind sounded lazily.

"The Chang ghost talks too much. You had best choose to forget the things you shouldn't know, otherwise, it will be a very dangerous matter for you. Do you understand, Little Peach?"

At that moment, Taohua Xianren knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the floor, cold sweat pouring off him like a rainstorm, shivering, not even daring to breathe!

He was even stuttering as he spoke.

"Un... understand... Master, Little Peach... understands."

He did not even dare to lift his head while speaking, fearing the giant tiger shadow would misunderstand. He knew the terror of that tiger well; his strength could no longer be estimated by conventional logic. That tiger—was Baie Hou!

However, he knelt on the ground with his head pressed down for a long time, receiving no further response. Yet, he still dared not lift his head until a light chuckle came from the crystal.

Then, a crisp female voice was heard.

"Look at how scared you are. Get up, Baie Hou has already left."

Only then did Taohua Xianren stand up trembling, cautiously looking up. Sure enough, Baie Hou was nowhere to be seen. Appearing on the crystal now was a young girl in blue, wearing blue clothes and a blue skirt, petite and cute. She smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples, but Taohua Xianren did not dare to look too much.

He seemed to recognize this girl and could not help but lower his head and say respectfully.

"So it is Lanque Xianzi. Little Peach pays his respects to you."

However, the girl in blue covered her mouth and giggled, saying.

"I am not like your master; there aren't so many rules with me. Just call me Zigui."

Although she said this, Taohua Xianren did not dare to do so, because he knew this woman's true nature very well. Do not be fooled by her smiling all day; that is just a facade. This woman is a devil; she doesn't even blink when killing people. More people have died at her hands than at the hands of Baie Hou.

Therefore, Taohua Xianren still said respectfully and politely.

"This lowly immortal would not dare!"

An immortal is an immortal demon; a devil is a devil!

However, Lanque Xianzi suddenly changed her expression.

"You are really boring. When Baie Hou left, he told me to tell you: from now on, don't say what shouldn't be said, don't listen to what shouldn't be heard, and don't do what shouldn't be done. Even if you have to risk your life, you must do what you are told. Only then can you live a long life. Do you understand?"

Taohua Xianren was cautious.

"I understand!"

However, Lanque Xianzi's stiff face suddenly blossomed like spring, and she smiled again.

"I see you don't understand at all. How can you be so dense? This girl thinks your future achievements will be just so-so. Sigh, I originally wanted to promote you."

Upon hearing this, Taohua Xianren's heart stirred, and just as he was about to say a few flattering words, he saw Lanque Xianzi's face instantly turn as cold as ice.

"There is one thing Baie Hou forgot to tell you when he left just now, so this girl will tell you on his behalf!"

A matter? What matter?

Taohua Xianren was startled upon hearing this and bowed, saying.

"Lanque Xianzi, please instruct me. This lowly immortal is all ears!"

Lanque Xianzi smiled again, flicking the bangs on her forehead and posing coquettishly.

"It's not a big deal, just that an Yinchai from Huangliang Xian named Xia Buqian, I don't know what kind of divine medicine he ate, but he actually ran over to defect to Baie Hou. However, Baie Hou doesn't trust him and intends to send him to you so you can test him."

As she spoke, her smile became even more charming.

"But I think the news he brought should be very useful to you!"

"The news he brought? Very useful to me?"

Taohua Xianren seemed to become interested and could not help but say.

"I wonder what interesting news it is? I hope Lanque Xianzi will inform me!"

Lanque Xianzi stared at him, suddenly stopped smiling, and said word by word, dead serious.

"A god has already headed your way. This is a variable!"

"You must be careful in how you handle it. Do not let him ruin the great plan of the ancestors, otherwise, you will not be able to redeem yourself even with a hundred deaths!"

Lanque Xianzi originally thought Taohua Xianren would be greatly shocked, but she did not expect his reaction to be so calm. She saw him chuckle and respond.

"A god is coming? Heh, within the Taoyuan Jing, this lowly immortal fears nothing more than those gods!"

Lanque Xianzi was startled upon hearing this, but seemed to remember something, and smiled sweetly.

"I almost forgot, there is also that ancient array. Does that mean it has already been repaired by you?"

Taohua Xianren said.

"That is natural. The reason this lowly immortal dares to say such things is not just because that ancient array has been repaired, but mainly because those ancient monsters and ancient demons leaked..."

"Ahem!" Lanque Xianzi suddenly coughed twice as if to remind him, and stiffened her face.

"You really don't have a good memory. What did I just say? Have you forgotten everything? Do you want to die?"

The words frightened Taohua Xianren so much that cold sweat poured down, and he said in a panic.

"This lowly immortal was wrong. A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. I hope the Xianzi will forgive me."

Lanque Xianzi suddenly smiled again; the dark clouds had just been gathering, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was clear for ten thousand miles.

"It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. Don't let it happen again."

Although she spoke so cutely, Taohua Xianren clearly felt the killing intent shooting from her eyes, and he could not help but feel bitter in his heart: this woman is for real!

Taohua Xianren was trembling and dealing with the situation cautiously on his side, while Su Yuanshan was coughing repeatedly, feeling increasingly weak.

"Cough, cough!" "Cough, cough!"

"Brother Daoist, are you ill?" Cailian reached out her slender, fair hand, intending to touch Su Yuanshan's forehead, but he dodged it, pulling his bamboo hat even lower.

"It's nothing, just a bit thirsty!"

Huh? Thirsty? I, a dignified City God, actually feel thirsty? This is the first time since coming to this world!

At that moment, Su Yuanshan could not help but feel a shock in his heart, as if he had realized the gravity of the situation, a gravity that seemed to have already threatened his life!
