"Host, when did you realize that this was Qingyuan's illusion?"

Qiao Xi was lying on the bed, with her legs crossed comfortably, staring at the man who was making Qingxin Pills.

An hour ago, several people carried He Yan, who had been beaten unconscious, back to Jiaxing Sect, where Qing Shui treated him.

"Senior Brother Qingyuan's reaction was too calm when he heard that I agreed to help Brother He seek revenge against the Demon Lord Li Yuan."

Qiao Beichen raised the corners of his lips, as if he had thought of something, his eyebrows were curved, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Hey, if I had known this was just an illusion, why would I be so anxious? I almost lost my sense of proportion."

Listening to her self-deprecating words, Qiao Beichen came to the rescue and said,

"Senior Brother Qingyuan said that you are the most powerful among us, so I gave you the most phantom pills."

Qiao Xi thought about clearing out the food in her bag along the way, and covered her eyes in embarrassment.

"..."

"The host is big, although, but,

Have you ever thought about how to tell He Yan about your life experience? Although it was an illusion just now, his master's treasure is indeed one of the few treasures that can open the dark realm.

I think this is why Li Yuan wants to get it."

"...Let me think about this matter again." Qiao Beichen lowered his eyebrows in a somewhat avoidant manner.

Three months later,

"Host, on this dark and windy night, are you going to steal, or borrow, He Yan's sect master's token?"

Qiao Xi thought that the nagging during this period had worked, so when Qiao Beichen took her sneakingly outside He Yan's house at night, she assumed that he was here to implement the plan.

Seeing the lights on in the room, Qiao Beichen drew a boundary,

"Xixi, strengthen this barrier, at least for three days."

"?"

"Host, do you want to go into the dark realm alone?"

"Well, Elder Konghua said that I have learned enough and have the spiritual power to compete with Demon Lord Liyuan."

"Do you want to capture Li Yuan alive?"

"The Dark Realm is Li Yuan's underground palace, so he must have a way to open it."

"...It's not impossible, but it's impossible for a big man like He Yan to just stay in the barrier and not come out."

"So we have to make a quick decision. After rescuing my father, Li Yuan will be handed over to Brother He."

This was the best way he could think of.

"Okay." Josie understood what he meant.

He still hopes to preserve their friendship to the maximum extent possible, and if there must be a confrontation, he hopes it will be later.

Qiao Xi still agreed with his idea. She didn't care if she opposed He Yan, but she didn't want him to affect Qiao Beichen.

Now that he has expressed his stance, he has no reason to stop it.

——

Liyuan Pavilion,

"Demon Lord, there is a man named Qiao Beichen outside who wants to see you."

Li Yuan, who was playing chess with another demon lord Mo Yan, pointed at the white piece and stared at the chessboard in front of him with his brows furrowed, thinking for a moment before making his move.

Mo Yan dropped the black piece in his hand and said cheerfully, "Brother, you lose."

"That's all, I'm not in good condition today. Let's fight another day." Li Yuan raised his head and said, "Let him come in."

"Since there are guests here, brother, let me go back first."

Seeing that Mo Yan was about to leave, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "My son from Beiguang is not really a guest. You would like to meet me by the way."

"It's that kid," Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, as if he was recalling something, "

Didn’t Third Brother send Xun Ying and Xuntai? Why did people find this place?"

Li Yuan chuckled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened.

"If the son of Beiguang is caught so easily, it would be a shame for his father, who is known as the demon war god."

Looking at the young man who came alone, Li Yuan showed a meaningful expression on his face.

"If you don't take good care of Yu Shui, why are you here with me?"

"I'm here to make a deal with you."

"Oh." Li Yuan's tone rose and he spoke with interest, "What kind of deal?"

Qiao Beichen took out a long jade gift and said, "This is 'Yu Jue' belonging to the leader of the Fengwu Sect. I will trade him for you to open your underground palace and release my father."

"Your father was killed by people from the fairy world a long time ago. You don't go to them to avenge him, but you come to me to ask for it. What's the point?"

Qiao Beichen knew that he would not admit it, nor did he force it, so he said calmly, "How about I exchange this for you to open the underground palace?"

Li Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the seat, pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"Okay, but you have to agree to one condition: you can't take away anything from my underground palace."

"Brother,"

Li Yuan raised his hand, indicating that Mo Yan did not need to persuade him.

"Okay, I promise you."

Just when Qiao Beichen was guessing where the entrance to the underground palace was, Li Yuan waved his hand and a downward staircase slowly appeared in the center of the hall.

Looking at the entrance of the abyss, he hesitated.

"What, do you suspect that I lied to you? Do you suspect that this is a trap?"

Li Yuan said as he walked down,

"Since you are suspicious, why is there still a person who breaks into my Liyuan Pavilion alone? I remember that you seemed to have a high-grade spiritual creature with you. Why didn't you bring it this time?"

Seeing Li Yuan's eyes glancing to his side, he subconsciously covered the pink bag with his hand. Only later did he realize that the pink bag had disappeared. He rubbed the hem of his clothes awkwardly and coughed dryly.

The further down you go, the colder it becomes. Qiao Beichen is not affected by the spell, but because the power of his two veins is sealed, he has no resistance to the cold air emanating from the ice like an ordinary person.

Li Yuan felt that he kept rubbing his arms, turned to look at him, and said to himself,

"I've been out for so long, but I haven't made any progress at all. I can't even resist the cold air emanating from the ice in the human world."

Listening to this somewhat complaining tone, Josie, who was hiding in the pink bag and eavesdropping, felt more and more that something was not right.

Looking at the endless stairs in front of him, Qiao Beichen couldn't help it anymore and asked,

"How much longer?"

Noticing the shaking of the host's big body, Qiao Xi took advantage of their conversation and took advantage of it, stretched out his rabbit head and looked around.

No wonder the host feels so cold, there are so many ice cubes, it's like an ice cave.

Li Yuan was wearing a thick black coat and spiritual protection, while the host was wearing only a thin piece of clothing. How could he compare?

Qiao Beichen placed the jade gift across his neck,

"There is no one else here. I would like to ask why you want to kill the leader of Fengwu Sect. Didn't the immortal and demon clans sign a no-war treaty?"

"Qiao Beichen, Beichen."

Li Yuan glanced at him,

"I gave you this name."

"What?"

Li Yuan didn't go any further and sat down on the steps, motioning for him to sit down too.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of harming you."

Li Yuan looked at the similar eyebrows in front of him and patted Qiao Beichen's shoulder with some affection.

Qiao Beichen thought he was dazzled and blinked several times.
