The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

It was seen that after the demon lords in the sky stepped into the human world, their figures shook, and their huge bodies began to shrink gradually, and finally turned into a form no different from that of humans.

But the innate demonic aura, noble temperament, and some remaining demonic appearance were not completely concealed.

After transforming into human form, they did not stop for a moment, but rushed straight towards the north.

The direction the six demon lords were heading towards was exactly where Tianyi Temple was located!

Tianyi Temple, as an important place for spiritual practice in the human world, not only has a long history, but also houses countless secret treasures and ancient books. Its importance is self-evident.

These demon lords went straight to Tianyi Temple, obviously with ulterior motives.

Li Qing's heart was filled with alarm, as he had promised Xuan Fuzi to protect Tianyi Temple.

Although he did not make the Heavenly Oath at the beginning because he was always cautious in his heart, he had already said the promise, so he at least had to go and see what was going on.

If he cannot defeat the Demon Lord and cannot protect Tianyi Temple, it cannot be blamed on him.

So, as Li Qing's thoughts came to mind, he controlled the ghost slaves, and his figure flashed, moving through the woods like a ghost, following the six demon lords silently.

As the distance between Li Qing and the demon lords gradually shortened, he could clearly feel an unusual tension and depression in the air.

The wind around seemed a little uneasy, blowing gently through the leaves, making a rustling sound, like a whisper of nature, telling of the coming storm.

The gate of Tianyi Temple gradually came into view. It was a series of high mountains, with ancient and solemn Taoist temples dotted everywhere in the mountains.

These mountains are covered with complicated talismans everywhere, flashing with a faint spiritual light. They seem to be talisman formations used to resist demons and protect the sect.

Today, Tianyi Temple seems exceptionally quiet. The hustle and bustle of the past and the figures of practitioners are nowhere to be seen, as if the entire temple is shrouded in an invisible cloud.

The six demon lords controlled the escape lights at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived in front of Tianyi Temple.

However, when they were still several miles away from Tianyi Temple, they all slowed down at the same time and finally stopped slowly in mid-air.

Their eyes were as cold as ice, as if they were indifferent to everything around them, yet seemed to hide endless mysteries.

One of the demon lords exuded a powerful aura. He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic, echoing in the empty valley: "Is Elder Taoist Xu from Tianyi Temple here? I am the Demon Lord Yin Yue from the demon world, and I have come to visit you today with five other demon lords!"

His words were calm, without the slightest emotion, and it was impossible to detect his intentions from his tone.

Another fox demon with five white tails behind him continued, "Tianyi Temple has been a holy place in the hearts of practitioners in the human world since ancient times, and we have heard of its great name for a long time."

"I am not here to be your enemy, but I hope to cooperate with you to jointly deal with the upcoming catastrophe in the spiritual world."

Her words caused a moment of silence, and the entire mountain range seemed to be plunged into a tense atmosphere.

However, at this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the depths of Tianyi Temple, like the sound of a morning bell or an evening drum, awakening the deaf:

"Your Majesty has come from afar, so Tianyi Temple should treat you with courtesy. But the matter of cooperation still needs to be discussed in detail. Please come into the temple to discuss it."

This voice broke the silence, shocking the disciples in Tianyi Temple, and all of them looked horrified.

Upon hearing this, the six demon lords looked at each other, then nodded, indicating that they agreed to enter Tianyi Temple to discuss cooperation matters in detail.

Following the guidance of the voice, the six demon lords set up their escape lights again and fled towards the depths of Tianyi Temple.

……

In this quiet courtyard far away from the hustle and bustle and surrounded by green bamboo, the moonlight falls gently like gauze, covering this small world with a layer of mysterious and soft glow.

The courtyard is surrounded not only by bonsai and strange stones, but also by various formations and talismans cleverly arranged.

These talismans are hidden among the bamboo leaves swaying in the breeze, or in shadows where the moonlight cannot reach, flashing with imperceptible light.

In the courtyard, an old man in a green shirt with white hair and beard sat quietly beside a tea table carved from thousand-year-old wood. His eyes showed the majesty of a senior in the world of cultivation, as well as kind kindness and gentleness.

This old man turned out to be the long-deceased ancestor of Tianyi Temple - Xuan Fuzi!

The six demon lords entered the courtyard and saw a white-haired old man who had been waiting for a long time. He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk, with an otherworldly aura between his brows.

The old man looked calm, and did not change his expression even when feeling their tremendous pressure, and gestured for them to take a seat.

Upon seeing this, the six demon lords dispelled their doubts and sat down around the tea table in this quiet courtyard.

During this time, the six demon lords glanced at the various formations and talismans arranged around them. Although their eyes flickered, they did not say much.

Seeing the demon lords sitting down, Xuan Fuzi gently picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, then put down the teacup, with a sharp gaze, and asked directly but politely:

"You demon lords have come from afar, saying that you have important matters to discuss and want to cooperate. I wonder what exactly you are here for?"

The six demon lords each have a different appearance, some have a single horn on their heads, and some are covered in feathered clothes.

Hearing this, the six demon lords looked at each other, and the fox demon with a charming face and watery eyes attracted Xuan Fuzi's attention with her unique charm.

The fox demon raised his hand slightly, and there seemed to be a faint light flowing at his fingertips. He had a brief eye contact with the other five demon lords, as if he was silently conveying some kind of information.

After a moment's silence, the charming fox demon spoke first. Her voice was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, charming and alluring, making the listeners involuntarily intoxicated by it.

"Master Xu, the Ascension Platform in the human world may not have been heard of since it was destroyed at the last critical point, but the spiritual world above has actually been in turmoil for a long time."

The fox demon spoke slowly, a hint of worry in her voice.

"Hundreds of years ago, the demons suddenly emerged from the fallen islands of the heavens and invaded all parts of the spirit world. Wherever they went, all living things were destroyed. Although the spirit world is vast, all the powerful forces in it were not spared."

She continued to recount the plight of the spirit world, and every word seemed to hit people's hearts like a heavy hammer: "Yunxian Island, the fairy island that our two clans' ancestors once fought for, is actually the lair of the sky demon."

"The fairy spirit on the island has been polluted, and the fairyland that we once glimpsed has become a demonic realm..."

"Therefore, the war between us humans and demons is completely meaningless. The entire dispute is about the "Meteoric Island", but there are only endless demons on this island."

"Moreover, after nearly a thousand years of fighting with the demons, the humans and demons of the spirit world realized that only by uniting together can they resist this unprecedented catastrophe."

"This sudden disaster makes the long-standing struggle between our two races seem so insignificant in the face of the raging demonic flames."

"Now, in order to resist the demons, the human and demon races in the spirit world have chosen to cooperate."
