Chapter 402: Senior brother, hehehehehehe
The smoke and dust were billowing, and the stars and moon were missing. Located in the volcano on the east side of the Demon Valley, there was a huge obsidian platform suspended in the center of the surrounding rock walls by countless red-hot iron chains. Below it were bursts of lava heat waves that could distort the surrounding air.
A flying purple sword came from outside the mountain and landed steadily on the obsidian platform.
Gu Ming’s heart skipped a beat and she flew her sword. She stood on the edge and looked down at the earth fire below that had swallowed up countless disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect. She couldn’t help but feel a little fearful in her heart. If she returned from this trip to Donghuang without accomplishing anything, she was afraid that the earthly fire would become her bath water.
When the two disciples of the Prison Hall saw her coming, they stepped forward and bowed their hands, then led her into the main hall of the Prison Hall. After walking along the stone steps for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Mingxin came to a stone door:
“Disciple Gu Mingxin, following the order of the sect master, comes to pay homage to Senior Fu.”
After the sound fell, the stone door slowly opened. Gu Mingxin maintained a respectful posture and looked up slightly, but at first sight, she saw He Jiming in the stone room, facing her with a sneer on his face. Next to He Jiming was a woman in red with an extremely proud figure. She was wearing a dark purple lip glaze and had charming eyes as if she were a ghost fox in disguise.
——Fu Yuanhua, the elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Prison Hall, in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
After the stone door was completely opened, Fu Yuanhua stood up from the chair, put his hands behind his hands, and said, “Young Master Gu, Elder He has told me the matter before. The sect master asked me to accompany you to Donghuang to help the Ghost Spirit Sect.”
Gu Mingxin nodded in agreement, “Yes… this disciple will make amends for her past mistakes and avenge her past humiliation.”
However, as soon as these words came out, He Jiming next to her showed a crack on his left cheek and smiled in a tone that was both yin and yang:
“Junior sister Gu, please take care of me~”
Gu Mingxin suddenly frowned, “Elder Fu, this is…”
Fu Yuanhua glanced at He Jiming and explained, “Elder He came here just now and asked me to take this boy with you. Young Master Gu, everyone in the sect is saying that you are a secret immortal cultivator…”
“Elder Fu, do you also believe that…”
“I won’t listen to rumors.”
Fu Yuanhua narrowed her eyes and interrupted, “The sect master asked me to follow you. You shouldn’t know what this means.”
What does it mean…The Heavenly Demon Sect Prison Hall is responsible for punishing disciples.
Gu Mingxin couldn’t help but look a little ugly. When Gu Yan said it before, she hadn’t realized what it meant to ask Fu Yuanhua to go with her, but now she heard this…
“That is to say, the sect leader asked Elder Fu to monitor you.” He Jiming added with a smile, “It seems that Junior Sister Gu, even the Sect Master has begun to doubt you…”
Seeing He Ji Ming being so arrogant, Fu Yuanhua also felt a little annoyed. She didn’t like He Jiming, who looked carefree. However, this boy had a father who was a great elder.
Before Gu Mingxin came, why not bring this kid here? She had to bring this kid with her as if he was going out for some training. She couldn’t shirk it…
“Boy He, be careful what you say.”
“Yes, Elder Fu.” He Jiming smiled and cupped his hands, “Junior Sister Gu, you must listen to me when you go to Donghuang this time…”
“Listen to you, a loser? Elder Fu, I am worried that this person is holding me back, can you…”
Fu Yuanhua quickly raised her hand to interrupt:
“This matter has been decided. When the time comes, I will be following you all the time. Firstly, to protect you, and secondly, to monitor you as this boy said. Young Master Gu wants to use me to prove your innocence. If you think so, that’s okay, as for whether you are innocent, I will see with my eyes.”
Gu Mingxin bit her lip slightly and glanced at He Ji Ming, feeling unwilling to do so. As her master said – there are only three things to do. However, now He Jiming follows her to Donghuang…
If it were an ordinary immortal cultivator, He Jiming would just force her to retreat.
Gu Mingxin bit her lip slightly and asked again, “Elder Fu, I’m worried about meeting that immortal cultivator named Ye Anping…”
“Ye Anping?”
“Yes! That person is proficient in calculations. It would be okay if Senior Brother became a burden to me. I’m worried that Senior Brother He will become a burden to the entire demon cultivator under that person’s plans! Please give Elder Fu another thought…”
Hearing this, He Ji Ming couldn’t hold back his face anymore and asked, “Junior Sister Gu, are you looking too high on that person? What kind of cultivation level does that person have?”
Gu Mingxin immediately answered, “The early stage of core formation.”
“Then isn’t this a level lower than mine?”
“He Jiming, you are not even one of his fingernails. If you meet him, you will…”
Snap–! ! !
“Enough!!”
Listening to the two people’s quarrel getting more and more outrageous, Fu Yuanhua interrupted by slamming the table, causing the two of them to quickly silence and lower their heads:
“Young Master Gu, as the direct descendant of Hell, isn’t it bad to compare your fellow disciple with an Immortal cultivator?”
Gu Mingxin: “…”
He Jiming smiled and said, “Yes, that one named Ye Anping, could Junior Sister Gu be that Ye Anping’s spy? Then don’t tell him our whereabouts and let him set up an ambush for us.”
“Young Master Gu, go back and recuperate for a few days, and then set off.”
Gu Mingxin bit her lip lightly and stopped talking. Instead, she relaxed, cupped her hands, and said, “Yes.”
Then she turned around and walked out of the stone room, jumped up from the prison hall with her sword, and headed towards her cave in the south of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Although it was her young master’s cave, it was very empty inside.
Gu Mingxin was not like other demon cultivators who liked to place some curious decorations on themselves. A house with only one bed, a spirit gathering formation, a house with an alchemy furnace, and a mourning hall were the only buildings in this land covering an area of about five acres. The rest of the place was full of weeds.
After Gu Mingxin entered the room, as if she was exhausted both physically and mentally, she immediately took off her left hand hanging around her neck and took the one with the name “Wu Tianci” written on it that she had taken from the disciple hall when she first returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect and the nameplate was hung in the mourning platform.
After giving the two nameplates “Wu Tianci” and “Xu Mo” and burning a stick of incense, she went directly to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and buried her face in the pillow.
Xue also came out from between her eyebrows at this time, and said with a worried look:
“Mingxin…”
“Do not talk.”
“Mingxin, how about I play chess with you? Just like before… take a rest.”
“No, I’ll take a nap.”
Gu Mingxin turned sideways, simply closed her eyes, and covered herself with the quilt. Seeing her like this, Xue helplessly showed a look of disappointment, and finally fell to the pillow, touching it gently with her hand.
“Then you go to sleep~ I’ll stay with you.”

Xuanxing Sect’s Heavenly Cloud Peak.
The warm morning light shone through the half-opened paper window. A young man in white was currently sitting at the desk, working on a painting. It had been three days since Ahting came to participate in the selection. In the past few days, Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo have been helping with the selection. Apart from going to practice swordsmanship with Feng Yudie in the afternoon, he stayed there. In the room, he was detailing his plan for the Donghuang Great Wall.
Three days were enough for him to perfect everything. However, because it was now very different from the plot in the game, there was a very important point that Ye Anping had not been able to determine.
——Who was traveling with Gu Mingxin during the Donghuang Great Wall incident?
According to the plot in the game, when Gu Mingxin and Wu Tianci were in the Northern Domain, they, together with other demonic cultivators, broke through a total of four great domain-protecting formations. Although they were still forced back by the empress, except for Lu Meimei, all of them returned to the Eastern Domain alive and were praised by the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. After all, the original purpose of the demon cultivators’ invasion of the Northern Domain was to consume and harass the Han Tian Kingdom.
But now, Wu Tianci has died in his hands. Gu Mingxin had already failed twice in her previous trip to the Central Domain…
“Um…”
Ye Anping deduced that Gu Yan’s patience had probably been exhausted by Gu Mingxin, and at the same time, the disciples in the Heavenly Demon Sect should also begin to suspect that Gu Mingxin secretly communicated with the immortal cultivator…
Therefore, he speculated that Gu Yan would let someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect Prison Hall follow Gu Mingxin to Donghuang.
There was a high probability that this person was…Fu Yuanhua.
Ye Anping wrote the name on the paper and murmured, “The elder of the Prison Hall, a swordsman in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, if she comes with Ah Gu, it will be difficult to deal with. In short, let’s assume that she will come. It would be better if she didn’t come.
“Then I still remember that there is a person in the Tianmo Sect who has a grudge against A Gu…what is his name? Although it is said that Junior Sister or Feng Yudie can be cut down with just one sword, we still have to plan carefully to avoid being exposed when the time comes. What a mistake…
“In addition, there may be Liu…”
Ye Anping thought to himself and prepared a backup plan. However, at this time, he suddenly noticed a line of sight looking out of the window. Turning around to look, Feng Yudie came over at some point and was standing next to his window, staring at him with her big watery eyes.
Xiao Tian was lying on top of her head, looking at herself like her.
“…”
The two of them stared at each other like this for a long time. Ye Anping slowly put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Aren’t you going to set up a stall?”
Feng Yudie scratched the back of her head and smiled awkwardly, saying, “Hehe… This has been on display for several days, and not a single item has been sold. I’m too lazy to go today.”
“Then what are you doing outside my window?”
“Huh?” Feng Yudie was stunned, and quickly stood up straight, “Isn’t this boring? Come here and see how Young Master Ye is writing, hehehe…”
Ye Anping looked at her and kept giggling, so he simply imitated her and sneered, “Hehe.”
“Hehe~”
“Whee.”
They were getting more and more stupid, the golden fool and the white fool…
Ye Anping sighed tiredly, looked at the draft plans at hand, stood up, picked up one of them, walked to the bed, and handed it to her:
“Then you’re fine, help me go to the Medicine Pavilion and buy ten copies of all the elixirs on this list.”
“Um?”
Feng Yudie took the list. However, after reading a few lines, she found that she didn’t recognize any of these talents, so she simply looked up at Xiao Tian floating above her head.
Xiao Tian squinted for a while, then took out the Heavenly Dao scroll and flipped through it one by one.
“Well… Panlong meat is…”
Ye Anping was a little speechless, so he simply explained in place of the Heavenly Dao Scroll, “They are all used to feed the monsters. Many seventh- and eighth-level monsters in the central domain have not opened their spiritual intelligence. The scent of these medicines can be used as bait and as a backup to help us block the demonic cultivators. Moreover, we still need to catch foxes, and we also need bait.”
“Oh~.” Xiao Tian nodded suddenly and threw out the Heavenly Dao scroll in his hand, “Anping, you are much better than this crappy book.”
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment and scolded, “Go quickly!”
Xiao Tian lowered his head and looked at Feng Yudie, “Yudie, go quickly!”
“Ah… Oh, Master Ye, are you going with us?”
Ye Anping looked at her speechlessly.
Feng Yudie shrank her head and curled her lips awkwardly, “Okay, okay, I’ll go.”
Then he reluctantly took the medicine list, summoned the flying sword, and flew towards the Xuanxing Sect’s medicine pavilion.
After watching her leave, Ye Anping picked it up with his sword, put the thick stack of plans on the table into his storage bag, and then walked out from the direction of the door, ignoring Xiao Tian, and took out the flying sword, he stepped on it and jumped up with his sword.
When Xiao Tian saw it, he quickly chased after him, grabbed Ye Anping’s hair, pulled it to his forehead, and lay down, “Anping, wait for me… Where are you going?”
“The disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Peak live here.”
“Who are you looking for?”
“Hongyu, ask her to help me bring a letter to the Empress, and also help me deliver Brother Liang’s core-formation gift. Brother Liang should be able to form a core in another month, and he will be needed to support us then. ”
