Chapter 2073 Inner Demon Tribulation
It is absolutely certain that no one in Zhongzhou can survive the tribulation.
Before Tianyin passed the tribulation, no one even in Dongsheng dared to continue to pass the tribulation, and the knowledge of the people in Zhongzhou could only be better than that of Dongsheng.
On the fifth day after Qu Jianlei returned, he received a report that Master Jiang Hui of the Xingchen Palace's Music and Etiquette Hall came to visit.
Even though she is only a hall master, her status in Zhongzhou is higher than that of the lords of the thirty-six cities.
So when she came to visit Hongye Ridge, she was accompanied by five True Immortals from the clan, and also two Nascent Souls from the family.
Together with the True Immortals Haihe and Zhiyuan, there were nine Nascent Souls accompanying them. This was truly an extraordinary display.
However, it was precisely because of this scene that she arrived five days late.
There is no need to talk about what she did during this period of time.
But no matter what, there were more than ten Nascent Souls present, which was considered a huge honor for Hongyeling.
Anyone who knows a bit about what's going on will come out and give us a formal reception.
The people from Hongyeling did come out, but only Jing Yuexin came out, and Qi Ya Zhenxian followed her.
To put it more bluntly, the boss of Hongye Ridge did not show up, he only sent out a Nascent Soul and a servant!
Even though most people in Dongsheng knew that Jing Yuexin should be the second-in-command of Hongyeling, it had never been announced to the public.
If there is no official announcement of No. 2, then it is just word of mouth and cannot be counted.
Moreover, the two Yuanying from Hongyeling did not invite anyone in, but walked out on their own.
Jiang Huizhenxian is the head of the Liyue Hall. Even if she thinks the other party's behavior is impolite, she must behave properly.
So she smiled and said, "I have heard of Fairy Jing's name for a long time. Is there anything Master Qu Ling can do for you?"
"The boss is so elusive that we dare not ask too many questions," Jing Yuexin replied with a smile, "but someone has to come to receive Master Jiang."
She is good at fighting, but when it comes to implicating someone, she is not lacking in talent.
The boss once said that most Kun cultivators are born with the potential to fight in the palace.
What she said was to tell the other person: If you want to ask my boss about something, you are not qualified - at least not worth asking.
To receive you... I am enough!
And she was afraid that her words were not enough, so she added, "But my time is limited... I also have to protect the law."
However, Jiang Hui is no worse than the others in the Star Palace. Not only is she in charge of the Hall of Rites and Music, but she is also very good at networking and is not old-fashioned.
Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I can also help with the guardian matter. Fairy Jing, do you know if Gu Le can chase away the demon?"
"This... I really don't know much," Jing Yuexin was stunned for a moment and answered honestly.
She believed that this not only involved her own blind spots in knowledge, but also her boss's blind spots in knowledge.
"I only know that there is no ceremony without music, but I have never heard that ancient music can drive away the devil."
The eldest brother once said that there can be no ceremony without music. Ceremony originated from ancient sacrifices. In addition to tributes, the most important things are "music" and "dance".
Let’s not talk about how to dance for now. The initial joy may just be a roar, shouting out your own prayers and needs.
However, roaring is not respectful or subtle enough, and over time it gradually turned into music.
The music of metal, stone, silk and bamboo has its own meaning. Some hope for good weather and good harvests, some sound of battles and killings, and of course some melodious music...
"Ancient music was originally the protector of the human race," Jiang Hui said. Speaking of this, I am no longer sleepy.
"Not to mention the demons, any evil, darkness, and filth can be eliminated... Why can't the demons be driven out?"
"Okay, I've learned my lesson," Jing Yuexin nodded. She felt vaguely that this might not be necessarily correct.
Ancient music can drive away the demons, so why do we still need to practice? Don't practice light and lightning magic.
The most amazing thing is that Gu Le can cause some damage to the demon, but it must be combined with other means.
Anyway, walking on one leg is definitely not safe, otherwise why would the Star Palace keep staring at itself and invite us to Zhongzhou?
But she had no intention of arguing with him. After sensing that the boss had no response, she said.
"Unfortunately, someone from our side is rushing up the stairs, so we shouldn't disturb him. Thank you for your kindness, Hall Master."
Jiang Huizhenxian is indeed well-mannered. She remained calm even after hearing the rejection.
She smiled and said, "I am here to discuss cooperation between the two sides. May I ask Fairy Jing... can you make the decision?"
"I can be part of the boss," Jing Yuexin replied calmly, "but it's really not convenient right now. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
Even though Hall Master Jiang Hui had a good temper, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: I came here from afar, and you want me to wait?
The key is that the person who makes the suggestion can only be part of the decision. Is it appropriate for you to do this?
So she said slowly, "The situation in Zhongzhou is tense, and demonic realms have appeared in many places... When will your fellow Taoist be able to overcome the calamity?"
"It's hard to say," Jing Yuexin replied seriously, "But I heard that no one in Zhongzhou has dared to survive the tribulation for a long time?"
"Why don't you wait for a while and observe the situation of the tribulation?"
"This..." Jiang Hui looked a little moved when she heard that.
Watching the tribulation was not originally in her plan. The situation in Zhongzhou was precarious, so how could she have the leisure time to do so?
However, it is impossible for the Star Palace to ignore the tribulation situation in Hongye Ridge, but... just leave some subordinates to observe.
Jiang Hui thought she only needed to get a general idea of the situation, but she never expected that the other party would ask her to watch it in person...
But no matter how you put it, this is a way out and it won't bring shame to the Star Palace.
She hesitated and nodded slightly, "It's okay to wait for a while, but Fairy Jing, the matter of Zhongzhou can't be delayed."
"I know this," Jing Yuexin nodded, "If I can see the boss, ask him to come out and discuss with the hall master."
The other party has always been polite, so she would not be rude.
As for "wait until I see the boss", that was pure nonsense. As long as she wanted to see Qu Jianlei, she could see him anytime.
She just wanted to make the other party get what they wanted - to take the initiative to come to the door to discuss the matter. Her attitude was good, but also a bit aggressive.
A lot of people were paying attention to their conversation, and many of them were not present at the scene but were watching from afar.
I have to admit that the reputation of the Star Palace in Dongsheng is really not that good.
Everyone was indeed a little afraid, but when they saw the group leave and the people from Hongyeling return, their faces suddenly looked a lot more relaxed.
Not to mention the invasion of the tiger people and the blocking formation, at this critical juncture, they also don't want Hongye Ridge to get too close to Zhongzhou.
For more than a month, the Yanjiafang market was still bustling, but the people from Hongyeling never showed up.
Jing Yuexin seemed to have forgotten her promise to report to the boss, but it was okay to understand that she couldn't be contacted.
The second wave of fleets from Zhongzhou also arrived, purchasing various supplies from all over the place.
Finally one day, clouds different from the previous ones appeared in the sky above Hongye Ridge.
Jiang Hui was getting a little impatient waiting, fortunately she was the head of the Liyue Hall, which was the most leisurely hall in the Xingchen Hall.
In fact, the palace was also urging her to speed up the process and return as soon as possible, because Gu Le... could really restrain the demon to a certain extent.
When she saw the unusual clouds, she immediately understood what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally... it's here."
It took Hongyeling, a cultivator who was about to pass the tribulation, nearly four months to reach the next level. It cannot be said to be fast, but it is not slow either.
Especially since Hall Master Jiang had seen the Tribulation Transcendence too many times, "So it's the Condensed Infant... This speed is really not slow."
In full view of everyone, the thunder struck and then dissipated... everything went exceptionally smoothly.
Although it was calm, the onlookers in the distance couldn't help but cheer.
It was already a good thing that Dongsheng had one more Nascent Soul. The tribulation was no longer as dangerous as everyone imagined, which was double the joy.
What is particularly important is that Hongyeling’s inference has also been verified: there is a high probability that the demons have temporarily slowed down their invasion of Dongsheng.
Otherwise, how could the demon miss such a rare opportunity?
However, after the calamity clouds dissipated, the people from Hongye Ridge still did not appear.
It was after eight full days that Hongye Ridge opened its mountain gates and invited the true immortals who had watched the ceremony earlier to come in.
The one who took the lead was, of course, Immortal Jiang Hui. The qualifications of the others were lesser.
This time, Qu Jianlei did show up, but his expression was a little solemn.
Facing so many True Immortals, he stated straight away that the tribulation that his team members had to endure was actually caused by the devil.
Only this time, the demon did not penetrate through the gap in space, but was attracted by the cause and effect of Ningying.
It is what is commonly known as the "heart demon calamity", and there is no need for weak points in space.
What Qu Jianlei didn't say was that this situation was the first time it had occurred in the team.
Fortunately, Mu Yu was less worried and had not experienced much, and with the senior students around him, he was not affected too much.
But even so, her soul suffered some damage, which made the paranoid man heartbroken.
Fortunately, the feedback from heaven and earth after overcoming the tribulation nourished the soul at a speed visible to the naked eye, and brought a lot of benefits.
Taoist Jiao was very calm about this scene. "This is the most normal Nascent Soul Tribulation. You were so lucky before!"
In the world of cultivating immortals, this situation is the mainstream, and it is better not to talk about the team’s previous luck!
Even because Mu Yu encountered the inner demon calamity, the foundation of his Nascent Soul was more solid.
Qu Jianlei also attached great importance to this unprecedented first time and had been feeling and calculating the entire process.
So it was not until the eighth day that he appeared in front of everyone and announced the news.
——Don’t think that the demons haven’t come. They have really come, but they just haven’t shown up externally.
This was not good news, but what surprised him was that people who heard the news were generally calm.
Yuan Yi Zhenxian even said directly, "It's okay, I also encountered a heart demon disaster in the past."
Originally, there were sporadic demons in Dongsheng, but their numbers were rare and not every person who was trying to overcome the tribulation could encounter one.
So everyone has long known that there is such a thing as the inner demon calamity, but this calamity is not inevitable. Some people may encounter it, while others may not.
