165. Chapter 165: The Shocked Mo Yi! The Whereabouts of the Shen Nong Cauldron!

The moment Xiahou Jinxuan called out his identity, an anxiety appeared on Mo Yi's face that had never been seen in nineteen years.

Even if he had just heard his conversation with Long Ming, Xiahou Jinxuan shouldn't have known his real name.

Mo Yi shifted his gaze to Mu Changlan.

She shouldn't know either...

"What Kumu, what Mo Yi, Jinxuan, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Mo Yi, who occupied Xiahou Tao's body, shook his head slowly and said with a deep gaze, "You have made many unknown friends on this journey, don't trust people easily."

Mu Changlan sneered, "What a bite back. Saying others are unknown, how can they compare to you, the Great Elder of the Yacha Kingdom?"

Mo Yi's expression was stern, and there was a faint killing intent in his words, "Girl, this is the Xiahou family, don't speak nonsense, otherwise the price is something you can't afford."

Xiahou Jinxuan shook his head in disappointment, "You did one more thing wrong. The second uncle on weekdays is generous and open-minded, and will never be at daggers drawn because of a few words..."

Mo Yi fell into silence.

Xie Cangxing saw that the other party was still stubborn, and couldn't help but laugh, "Your identity was told to us by the Shushan Sect Leader, including your Demon Realm water veins drying up, and your plan to move the Yacha Kingdom to the human world, Sect Leader senior brother told us all."

The plan was exposed, Mo Yi was stunned for a long time, and sighed, "I consider myself to be meticulous in my actions, planning for nearly twenty years without a single loophole. This Sect Leader Chu is truly capable of reaching the sky. No wonder he can make friends with such noble figures as the Demon Sovereign..."

"Little young master, your fake second uncle's flattery skills are not bad either. Did you learn it from him?" Xie Cangxing grinned and joked with Xiahou Jinxuan.

Xiahou Jinxuan looked helpless. If he wasn't used to Xie Cangxing's unbridled personality, an ordinary person would have turned his face long ago.

"Big stupid guy, shut up if you can't speak!"

"Brother Xie, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"

Xia and Mu Changlan glared at Xie Cangxing with unkind expressions.

"Why are you so excited? Can't I just stop talking?" Xie Cangxing hurriedly admitted his mistake. He could offend anyone, but he couldn't offend a woman in a bad mood.

Now that things had reached this point, there was no need to play the fool. Mo Yi had a plan and said to Jiang Cheng with bad intentions, "You shouldn't be with them. We are of the same kind. Your true identity is..."

Before Mo Yi finished speaking, Jiang Cheng said immediately, "Descendant of Chi You, right? If you want to use this to alienate us, there is no need. They all know that I have half the bloodline of the Demon Race in my body."

Another card was guessed in advance, Mo Yi's face was blue, and he was trembling with anger, "Was it that Sect Leader Chu who told you again?"

Xie Cangxing mocked, "Not bad, not bad, you have learned to draw inferences about other cases. You really didn't serve as a Great Elder in vain."

Mo Yi had never seen that mysterious Shushan Sect Leader, but at this moment, he felt like he was being played in the palm of his hand. Mo Yi considered himself no less intelligent than anyone, and he could not accept such a situation.

"Who exactly is he, and why does he know so many things!" Mo Yi gritted his teeth and questioned everyone.

Xia said coldly, "The power of Sect Leader senior brother is not something you can imagine. Put away your little thoughts and sit down and explain what should be explained!"

Xie Cangxing smacked his lips and muttered, "Just now you scolded me for climbing relationships, now you call him senior brother yourself..."

Mo Yi saw that there was no need to pretend anymore, and the demonic energy poured out like a tide, as if he had changed into a different person, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think you can make me surrender with just a few of you?"

On the other side, except for Xiahou Jinxuan, the others pulled out their weapons to confront him.

Xia said uneasily, "The Sect Leader asked us to come to talk about cooperation, it's not good to fight like this, right?"

Xiahou Jinxuan shook his head, "Cooperation not based on strength is not stable. The other party is of the Demon Race and emphasizes the survival of the fittest. If we are the weak side, he can tear up the so-called alliance at any time."

Jiang Cheng also nodded, "Miss Xia, Young Master Xiahou is right."

Mo Yi, who was planning to take action, heard their conversation and paused. He had doubts in his heart. What did they mean by cooperation? In the current situation, is there any possibility of cooperation between the two sides, or did these little ghosts say it to him on purpose to stabilize him?

Mo Yi tended to the latter, so he decisively attacked Xiahou Jinxuan and the others. Among them, Jiang Cheng was the strongest. If he could take him down first, the others would be nothing to worry about.

Jiang Cheng, who had already expressed his attitude, lost his value in Mo Yi's eyes. What is the use of a descendant of Chi You who cannot open the seal of the two realms?

Demonic energy rolled like great waves, bursting with terrifying suction, pointing directly at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng, who had been through many battles, had long been on guard. While his body was being pulled by the demonic energy, he gathered his true essence in his fists and blasted forward. The purple true essence power collided with the demonic energy, producing a strong impact.

Taking advantage of this impact, Jiang Cheng stabilized his figure and chose to launch a counterattack at the first time instead of retreating.

Surprise flashed in Mo Yi's eyes. He originally thought that the demonic energy and true essence in Jiang Cheng's body would conflict, and he would immediately go into demonic deviation if he was stimulated like this, but the other party had no abnormality.

"You accepted this power? Accepted your identity as a demon?"

"Who gave you the courage?"

While Mo Yi was shocked, Jiang Cheng had already approached.

The sky full of fist shadows was like a surging flood, continuous and amazing.

The vast demonic energy blocked Jiang Cheng's fist, making him unable to advance an inch. At the same time, Jiang Cheng's answer came to Mo Yi's ears.

"They accepted me, so I accepted myself. Sect Leader Chu told me that human and demon are not distinguished by identity. Whether to be good or evil is decided by myself!"

Human and demon, not distinguished by identity! This sentence exploded in Mo Yi's ears like thunder!

This was said by the Shushan Sect Leader. From the perspective of the world, it was simply rebellious! May I ask how many people in the world dare to say that there are good people in the Demon Race?

Mo Yi, whose brain was in chaos, was dazed, and the demonic energy around him weakened. He muttered, "Did he really say that?"

Mu Changlan sneered, "The demeanor of Sect Leader Chu is something you, a guy who hides his head and shows his tail, can imagine?"

Mo Yi shook his head, took a deep breath, and returned to his previous indifferent appearance, "Almost let you little guys fool me. How could the dignified Shushan Sect Leader say such things? That Demon Locking Tower locks up I don't know how many monsters. Even monsters can't be tolerated, how can demons be tolerated?"

The terrifying demonic energy filled the entire room, and everyone's faces changed greatly. They knew that Mo Yi was going to take it seriously next.

At this moment, a reassuring voice rang out.

"First of all, I will correct two mistakes for you here. The monsters in the Demon Locking Tower are not caught at will, but each of them owes blood debts, without exception. For those monsters who have never harmed people, Shushan will formulate new laws to treat them in the future."

"Secondly, that human and demon are not distinguished by identity is indeed what I said. In fact, I think all living beings in the six realms are the same."

Chu Yang walked into the room and waved his hand, and the demonic energy in the sky dissipated. On the contrary, Mo Yi's face turned pale, as if he had been hit hard, and his breath became chaotic.

Chu Yang, who appeared in the Xiahou family at this moment, was his main body.

The shadow clone that had been following them back before dissipated because of the impact of demonic energy, and Chu Yang, who sensed the situation, immediately cast Apparition and arrived here.

As the enemies encountered became stronger, the fault tolerance rate of the shadow clone was also decreasing. Now it could only be used as a coordinate.

Chu Yang felt that it was time to study a new ability to replace the role of the shadow clone.

The demonic energy all over his body was like being roughly stuffed back into his body by a pair of big hands, making Mo Yi very painful.

Seeing Chu Yang looking at him without saying a word, he had the idea of a gecko breaking its tail.

Abandoning this body, he couldn't spend decades laying out again. If he was followed by this mysterious Chu Sect Leader and hurt his main body, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

Just as Mo Yi intended to take action, Chu Yang guessed his intention first and smiled, "The dignified Great Elder of the Yacha Kingdom is so easily frightened that he doesn't even have the courage to talk to me, and wants to abandon this shell?"

Hearing this, Mo Yi silently stopped the surging demonic power in his body. He raised his head to look at Chu Yang, and his demeanor returned to his usual calm and self-assuredness.

Chu Yang clapped his hands and nodded in praise, "Not bad."

"Your Excellency's methods, Mo Yi is convinced. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say." Mo Yi's eyes were gloomy, and he said with a black face, "I don't know what advice Sect Leader Chu has?"

"I dare not give advice, just come to be a witness." Chu Yang turned to look at Jiang Cheng, "Next, you talk to him, just say whatever you want."

A trace of curiosity appeared on Mo Yi's face.

Could it be that they really want to cooperate with me to save the drying up of the water veins in the Demon Realm, but what do they want? What is the Shushan Sect Leader for? Jiang Cheng answered Mo Yi's doubts with actual actions. He took out the Water Spirit Bead he got from Chu Yang, "The Water Spirit Bead you want is here. Take it to repair the water veins for the Demon Realm, and return it to Shushan afterwards."

The Water Spirit Bead floated slowly in the air, emitting abundant water spirit power. Mo Yi was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief, "Are you really going to give the Water Spirit Bead to me?"

Jiang Cheng frowned, "Believe it or not, we are not so bored as to take such a big risk to fool you."

The shock in Mo Yi's eyes did not fade at all, "Why is this? What benefit does this have for you, for Shushan?"

Xiahou Jinxuan shook his head, "It is naturally of no benefit to us, and we have to bear the risk of losing the Water Spirit Bead. Even so, we still want to do something for the people of the Yacha Kingdom. In this matter, they have done nothing wrong, but they have to suffer such a disaster. Shouldn't we help?"

Mo Yi imagined thousands of reasons in his heart, but he didn't expect to hear such simple ones.

These words seemed to have some kind of magic, draining Mo Yi's spirit. He still asked in disbelief, "What exactly is it for?"

Xia said impatiently, "I explained it to you, but you don't believe it. It's really troublesome! The truth is very simple. If it were all people like you over there, we would definitely not save them, but if there are people like Brother Jiang, how could we not help?"

Xie Cangxing gave Xia a thumbs up and praised, "Girl, the description is good, even I understand it."

Mo Yi lowered his head and muttered, "So it can be solved so simply. Then what have I been doing all these years?"

"This is not simple..." Jiang Cheng sighed, "If it weren't for Sect Leader Chu's full support for me, I wouldn't have the courage to face my identity at all. Perhaps... I would have become isolated and helpless as you calculated at the beginning, and it would be impossible to sit down and talk to you openly."

Mo Yi was silent for a long time, perhaps moved by the sincerity of Jiang Cheng and the others, and the coldness on his face gradually softened.

"As expected of the Shushan Sect Leader, Mo Yi has learned." Mo Yi bowed to Chu Yang with conviction, "There should be no one in the world who would deceive a small person like me at the cost of a Water Spirit Bead."

Xiahou Jinxuan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you are willing to believe us, explain the situation of the Yacha Kingdom clearly, and explain the things we don't know."

Mo Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "The movement just now has alarmed the people in the mansion. It is better for us to leave here before talking to you in detail." Chu Yang smiled, "I have set up a barrier with magic power here, and the outside cannot hear the movement, so don't worry."

Xie Cangxing suddenly realized, "I said why no one came for so long, I thought no one was on duty in the Xiahou Mansion."

The last bit of worry disappeared, and Mo Yi then told everything about the Yacha Kingdom, including his plans for many years.

He had also thought about keeping a mind and hiding part of the facts, but facing the unfathomable Chu Yang, he really didn't have the courage.

This person was like an unpredictable mystery. It was difficult for Mo Yi to bet on how much he knew. If there was a mistake, the current good situation would be broken by his own hands.

The risk was too great to take.

After hearing more detailed truth from Mo Yi, the hanging hearts of the crowd finally settled down. Basically, it was the same as what Chu Yang had said before, which also proved that Mo Yi really had the willingness to cooperate.

Chu Yang reminded, "Regarding the Shen Nong Cauldron, I can clearly tell you that it is not in Shushan. You had better think of other ways."

Mo Yi nodded, "I just got the news that the Shen Nong Cauldron is indeed not in Shushan, or even in the Central Plains, but on another continent outside the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"People there call it the Divine Land."

Xiahou Jinxuan, Jiang Cheng, and Mu Changlan showed surprised expressions. When they were in Shushan, they had not contacted the three sects of the Qingyun Sect, so they didn't know about this.

Xia and Xie Cangxing were thoughtful, clearly having heard the news from their respective masters.

Chu Yang continued to ask, "Is there any more detailed information?"

Mo Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Regarding the Divine Land, I think it is better for His Majesty Long Ming to explain it to you personally."

Chu Yang smiled, "He has been listening for so long, I guess he has long been unable to hold back and wants to speak, right?"

As soon as the words fell, a heroic laugh rang out.

"Sect Leader Chu is really interesting. Did you know that I have been listening to your conversation?"

Long Ming's voice echoed in the room, and it was impossible to tell which direction it came from.

"It was probably when Jiang Cheng took the initiative to hand over the Water Spirit Bead that your sound transmission secret technique was restarted. Since His Majesty Long Ming has been listening for so long, I don't need to explain it again, right?"

"Long Ming is here to thank you all on behalf of the people of the Yacha Kingdom."

"Business is important, no need to be polite."

"I came to the Divine Land continent a few months ago. According to the information collected, I have found the place where the Shen Nong Cauldron is sealed, but a guy with yin-yang double pupils appeared halfway and ruined my good deeds."

"Is that person holding a golden sword?"

"Eh? Sect Leader Chu also knows that guy!"

Chu Yang closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. At this moment, he could basically confirm that the person Long Ming met was one of the protagonists of *Xuan-Yuan Sword*.

Yuwentuo.

In the story of the *Xuan-Yuan Sword* series, ancient artifacts are an important factor that cannot be bypassed, just like the five spirit beads in the *Chinese Paladin* story.

The most important one is naturally the Xuan-Yuan Sword. After all, the entire series of stories is named after this artifact, which also shows the strength of Yuwentuo, the owner of the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the ceiling of combat power in the human world.

He is even stronger than Qingwei and Dugu Sword Saint. It is normal for Long Ming to be unable to defeat the other party.

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "If it is really the person I think, this matter probably needs to be discussed in the long run."

Xia widened her eyes in surprise, "Is the other party so powerful?"

Chu Yang nodded, "The person is powerful, but what is more powerful is the sword in his hand."

Everyone looked at him curiously.

Chu Yang continued, "The sword is named Xuan-Yuan Sword, also known as the Xuan-Yuan Xia Yu Sword. It is an artifact created during the battle between the Yellow Emperor Xuan-Yuan and Chi You. He also relied on this sword to defeat Chi You in one fell swoop, establishing the status of the human race. And after Chi You was defeated, he sent the remaining clansmen into today's Demon Realm at the moment of his death."

"The sword body is engraved with the sun, moon, and stars on one side, and mountains, rivers, grass, and trees on the other. The hilt is engraved with the art of farming and animal husbandry on one side, and the policy of unifying the four seas on the other, containing the power of gods and ghosts. It is also one of the best among the ancient artifacts."

Hearing that it was the sword of the Yellow Emperor Xuan-Yuan, everyone immediately understood the power of the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

Long Ming sighed, "So that's how it is. No wonder I didn't even hold on for twenty rounds in that person's hands. It turned out to be the owner of the Xuan-Yuan Sword."

Chu Yang said, "There are very few people in the world who can retreat from Yuwentuo's hands. His Majesty Long Ming is enough to be proud."

"What is there to be proud of as a loser." Long Ming sighed leisurely, his voice echoing in the room, "I don't know how to repay your kindness."

Xia said, "You don't need to repay us, just hope that you will not be hostile to the human race in the future. We also hope that one day, people in the world will not hate and fear half-demons like Brother Jiang who stay in the human world."

"What the girl said is very true." Long Ming's voice paused slightly, and his breathing became heavy, as if he had made a great determination, and said, "I want to conclude an alliance with you in the name of the Lord of the Yacha Kingdom."

"If things go well this time, the Yacha Kingdom will guard the passage between the two realms for the human world from now on. I, Long Ming, can guarantee that as long as I am not dead, no demon will be able to enter the human world from this passage."

Hearing Long Ming's promise, Mo Yi lost his voice, "Your Majesty, you can't. How will the Yacha Kingdom conduct itself in the Demon Realm in the future?"

It is no wonder that Mo Yi was panicked. Once this alliance is established, the Yacha Kingdom will become the target of public criticism in the Demon Realm, and the future days can be imagined.

Chu Yang asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Long Ming's voice became more and more firm, "The truth is actually very simple. Even without this alliance, the war in the Demon Realm will not stop easily, and the Yacha Kingdom is still in a situation of being attacked from both sides. The enemy is still the enemy, and nothing will change..."

"Besides that, I have nothing to repay you. Whether from the perspective of trade or cooperation, this is an unfair thing."

Xiahou Jinxuan shook his head, "Brother Long, you are wrong. The reason we did this is entirely for the innocent people of the Yacha Kingdom."

Long Ming smiled, "Then I can't let you suffer, otherwise how will I face my people in the future?"

Mo Yi felt Long Ming's persistent attitude and knew that he could not change the other party's thoughts, so he could only sigh with worry.

But one thing Long Ming said was right.

The war situation in the Demon Realm has entered a white-hot stage. Even if the water veins are repaired and the living environment becomes better, the war may not stop, and it is more likely to end with the complete extinction of some countries.

Giving up illusions and making plans early is the right way.

Chu Yang confirmed Long Ming's determination, so he said, "Well, I will conclude this alliance with you in the name of the Shushan Sect Leader. I hope you will not break your promise in the future."

Long Ming smiled, "Sect Leader Chu, don't worry. I am not stupid enough to do that."

Xie Cangxing laughed, "I say that Great Elder shouldn't be too worried. Since we are allies, if the Yacha Kingdom really has trouble, we will help you fight a few battles then, won't we?"

Mu Changlan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "I didn't know Brother Xie had the ability to travel through the six realms. Why don't you teach everyone."

"Yo, I forgot about this." Xie Cangxing scratched his head in embarrassment, immediately looked at his nose and heart, and stopped talking.

After the two finished arguing, Chu Yang continued, "I know something about Yuwentuo. He took the Shen Nong Cauldron not out of greed for artifacts. Let's wait and see what he is going to do."

Long Ming said helplessly, "At this stage, that's all we can do."

Mo Yi suddenly said, "My layout in the Central Plains has been resolved by Sect Leader Chu. Staying here has no meaning. It is better to go to the Divine Land and help His Majesty."

Xiahou Jinxuan said excitedly, "No!"

Mo Yi looked at him with complex expressions. This was the child he had raised with his own hands. Although his identity was fake, the bits and pieces of getting along for so many years were really true.

Xiahou Jinxuan explained, "If you leave, how to explain to my father?"

Mo Yi pondered, "This body is already weak, so it is not strange even if it dies suddenly."

Xiahou Jinxuan stared at Mo Yi, "Whether second uncle dies or disappears, father will be sad. He is old and cannot withstand such a blow."

Mo Yi fell into silence.

Xia whispered in Xiahou Jinxuan's ear, "Bookworm, do you want to continue letting him act? Is this a bit..."

Xiahou Jinxuan couldn't explain his true thoughts, so he could only use excuses to prevaricate, "Second uncle definitely cannot die suddenly now. We must give father a time to accept it."

Jiang Cheng looked at Xiahou Jinxuan deeply, seemingly guessing his thoughts.

Xie Cangxing, who was the oldest and had the most experience, couldn't help but shake his head, with some emotion in his eyes.

The sound in the room gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere became strange.

At this moment, Long Ming said, "Great Elder Mo Yi, even if you come over, the situation will not improve. We have no way to snatch the Shen Nong Cauldron from Yuwentuo, nor do we have the qualifications to bargain with him. If the identity of the Demon Race is exposed, it may cause more intense conflicts."

Hearing this, Mo Yi had to give up the idea of going to the Divine Land.

Chu Yang said, "You two don't be impatient. In a while, the road between the Central Plains and the Divine Land will be opened. It will not be too late for you to plan the next step."

Long Ming was shocked, "Is what Sect Leader Chu said true? The Ten Thousand Mountains are boundless and cannot be crossed by manpower."

Chu Yang smiled, "It doesn't matter, we take the air route." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
