Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

"It is a mysterious and dangerous place that breeds countless spiritual treasures. All immortal sects call it Wujiyuan."

When they heard the name for the first time, their eyes widened with surprise on their faces.

"Wujiyuan?"

Listening to Cang Shuzi's description, Meng Ziyuan felt an inexplicable curiosity and excitement in his heart. What kind of secret place could attract all the major immortal sects to explore?

Even Mu Yun finally looked at Cang Shuzi after hearing these three words. He had never known the secrets behind the trial conference.

Cang Shuzi swept his eyes over the people in front of him and found that they all had the same expression on their faces. He replied, "I can't even describe exactly what the Wuji Abyss is like. It is not only rich in resources, but also full of dangers and unpredictable. Every person who goes in has a different description of it. Therefore, although it has been discovered for seven thousand years, up to now, the major sects have explored less than one percent of it."

Upon hearing this, shock flashed across the faces of Meng Ziyuan and the others. Less than one percent was enough to attract all the major sects to flock to it, so how attractive would this one percent that was discovered be?

Cang Shuzi also continued: "In addition to spiritual treasures, magical instruments, secret spells, rare treasures and exotic animals, the most common resources are spiritual vein minerals. The spiritual stones produced by a top-grade spiritual vein alone can provide a sect's disciples with hundreds of years of practice. Just seeing these spiritual objects is one thing, and bringing them all out is another."

At this point, a dark light flashed in Cang Shuzi's eyes, as if he remembered something he didn't want to recall.

Lin Shuyu, who was standing by, also thought of something and asked curiously, "Wenhe Academy has been established for more than 8,000 years. Judging from the time, since this secret realm was discovered under the jurisdiction of Wenhe Academy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is private property. Why are they willing to share it with the various sects?"

After hearing his words, the others also reacted with curiosity. Such a secret place, no matter who discovered it, they would keep it secret and would never think of sharing it.

"This is because the discovery of Wujiyuan was caused by a disaster, a disaster that brought Wenhe Academy to the brink of destruction."

Cang Shuzi regained his composure and patiently explained to everyone the origin of Wujiyuan:

Seven thousand years ago, magma erupted from the seabed, and the entire Qinghuai City was plunged into an earthquake. Between the huge waves, countless lives were drawn into a huge whirlpool deep under the sea under the island.

It was also at that time that the monks who came to rescue discovered that this deep sea abyss that absorbed everything was actually the entrance to a mysterious realm. It was not only full of dangers, but also had unlimited cultivation resources.

However, the secret realm that opened was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing everything around it. If the entrance was allowed to open, I am afraid that even the connected Huaibei and Huainan continents would sink.

Therefore, the Zi Yang True Sect and Jiu Xiao Xian Pavilion at that time dispatched thousands of cultivators to form seals together to set up a formation barrier containing the power of the three sects, sealing the entrance to the Wuji Abyss.

It was also because of this battle that the news of Wujiyuan spread like wildfire. Due to the intervention of Ziyang Zhenzong and Jiuxiao Xian Pavilion, it was no longer privately owned by Wenhe Academy, but became a place coveted by the entire immortal cultivation world.

"Therefore, in order to maintain harmony in the world of immortal cultivation, the immortal sects reached a consensus under the proposal of Ziyang Zhenzong: Qinghuai City will continue to be governed by Wenhe Academy, but Wujiyuan will belong to the entire immortal sect and be jointly supervised by the three sects. Every hundred years, the three sects will work together to open the seal and open Wujiyuan, allowing hundreds of immortal sects to enter and search for treasures. As for life or death, and what kind of spiritual treasures they obtain, it all depends on the ability of each sect."

The secret of Wujiyuan was thus revealed. After Cang Shuzi's words reached this point, others gradually realized what this trial conference held once every hundred years actually meant.

Lin Shuyu: "No wonder the hundreds of immortal sects accepted the current situation so quickly. Compared to investigating Wen Bumian, they hope that the trial conference can be held as scheduled. Entering the Wuji Abyss to search for treasures is their biggest goal."

Everyone finally understood the attitudes of various sects towards the Zizai Sect. In addition to comfort and arrogance, there was also the most practical word "interest".

It doesn’t matter who attacked Sanyuan Sect and Beihai Gate. What matters is that they want to enter the mysterious Wuji Abyss.

Bai Wangshu's expression was visibly ugly, and even Jiang Tingwan in his heart fell into deep thought. Wen Bumian had accurately used the minds of this group of people, but what exactly was he trying to save by sacrificing the pawn to save the king?

Meng Ziyuan also pondered and said: "So, each trial conference is ostensibly a competition among the major sects, but in reality it is a selection of elite immortals who are qualified to enter the Wujiyuan?"

Cang Shuzi affirmed: "Yes, the top 100 immortal sects that win each immortal sect trial conference are selected to ensure that each sect has at least one or two disciples entering the Wujiyuan, and to ensure that those entering the country have a certain degree of self-protection. Therefore, among these 100 people, they are basically outstanding disciples in the transformation stage..."

Having said this, Cang Shuzi suddenly paused, as if hesitating about something.

"But despite this, only half of these 100 immortal sect disciples were able to walk out alive. This is also the reason why less than % of the immortal sects have explored the Wuji Abyss over the past thousands of years. Because the Wuji Abyss is not only a treasure land, but also an absolutely dangerous place."

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

The top 100 immortal sects, half of them lost. When these eight words were combined together, they had no way of imagining what kind of place Wujiyuan was that could cause half of the elite to be lost here every hundred years.

The real test is not on the competition stage, nor in the so-called ranking, but in this mysterious Wuji Abyss.

It turned out that this was the real reason why Mu Qingge came to Sanyuan Sect. Because they were not strong enough, they needed an outer disciple to fight for a place for them to enter Wujiyuan.

"But even though it is such a dangerous place, have all the major sects been willing to enter the Wuji Abyss one after another over the past thousands of years?"

After hearing what Cang Shuzi said, Mo Shaoyu asked his puzzled question: What could be more important than one's life?

Each sect spent hundreds of years to train a group of elite disciples, but half of them were killed once they entered the Wuji Abyss. Isn't this a loss?

Cang Shuzi seemed to be thinking about the meaning of this question, but as soon as Mo Shaoyu asked the question, Meng Ziyuan answered him.

"Every secret realm must have secret treasures. As long as you enter, you will definitely gain something. If you can find a top-grade spiritual vein or other spiritual treasures for the sect in the Wuji Abyss, it will be worth it even if you leave behind a life."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Meng Ziyuan in surprise, even Jiang Tingwan was no exception. They didn't expect that this kid would be willing to sacrifice his own life for justice.

At this point, before everyone could react, Meng Ziyuan made a promise with a very firm tone: "Master, I finally understand the significance of this Trial Conference. I also vow to enter the Wuji Abyss to find more cultivation resources for the sect, so that more brothers and sisters of the Sanyuan Sect can stand at this Trial Conference in the future."

After experiencing these few days, Meng Ziyuan has accurately realized the gap between Sanyuan Sect and the three major sects. The reason why they are despised by everyone is because of the word "weak".

Only if the Sanyuan Sect is as powerful as Wenhe Academy, Ziyang Zhenzong, and Jiuxiao Xian Pavilion, will their words have meaning.

No one expected Meng Ziyuan to say such a thing. Even Mu Yunzhong at the back suddenly looked at him with higher regard.

Cang Shuzi's gaze was also focused on Meng Ziyuan, with a hint of relief and trance, as if he saw himself a hundred years ago in him.

After a long pause, he sighed slightly and said, "I am glad that you think this way, but you must always remember that the sect needs you to enter the secret realm to obtain cultivation resources, but it does not need you to risk your life. For the Sanyuan Sect, the most important thing is not resources, but people."

Cang Shuzi seemed to be emphasizing something. Bai Wangshu knew that he had not finished speaking. He also suddenly understood why the junior master who had come to Qinghuai City with them did not come back.

"Is this the reason why senior brother has always been reluctant to talk about what happened back then?" The voice in the heart murmured to itself, as if asking Jiang Tingwan what exactly happened back then?

"What's the reason?" Jiang Tingwan asked subconsciously.

Bai Wangshu's voice was silent for a moment. When he entered Qinghuai City to participate in the trial meeting with his senior brothers, there was also his junior uncle who was also no more than a hundred years old.

They entered Wujiyuan together, but in the end only Cang Shuzi and Xing Mingzi walked out of the secret realm.

Something extremely dangerous must have happened back then, which caused my junior master uncle to die in the Wuji Abyss.

Bai Wangshu thought that Jiang Tingwan's homework included this point, so she took the initiative to ask her, but she was wrong. Jiang Tingwan really didn't know this. Her outline was not detailed at the beginning, and the setting of the secret realm was also in a casual state. In addition, the plot in the secret realm was completely after the discontinued plot, not to mention what happened to Cang Shuzi, who was not even the protagonist, in the secret realm a hundred years ago?

Now Bai Wangshu suddenly mentioned what happened in the secret realm a hundred years ago. Jiang Tingwan not only couldn't answer, he even felt some instinctive curiosity.

"Didn't you say you had done your homework?" Bai Wangshu said speechlessly.

Jiang Tingwan could only cough awkwardly and defend himself: "That's because you asked too much! I came here because of Mu Yunzhong. How could I know everything about so many other people?"

At this point, Jiang Tingwan glimpsed Mu Yunzhong in the crowd and changed the subject, saying, "And none of this is important. What's important is that I thought that with Wen Bumian's intervention, the course of the Trial Conference would be changed, and Qinghuai City would also change. But now it seems that the disbandment of Zizaimen has brought everything back to square one."

She was still wondering what Wen Bumian was thinking behind his actions?

"Wen Bumian is not a person who does nothing. I now suspect that he may have discovered the secret of my disappearance, so he fled in a panic to lower the vigilance of the hundreds of immortal families and make the subsequent developments return to Mu Yun's life..."

Jiang Tingwan said this while thinking, and even his tone became serious.

"If that's the case, then we don't have much time left. We have to reduce Mu Yunzhong's killing intent towards you before you die. As long as he no longer has killing intent towards you, we will have enough time to deal with Wen Bushian."

Hearing this, Bai Wangshu looked at Mu Yunzhong and couldn't help but think of the previous contacts: "But when he sees me now, it will only increase and not decrease, 999, it's not easy?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan also thought about it carefully, and then said: "It doesn't have to be completely eliminated. According to my previous experience, when that value drops to a certain level, he will not want to kill you anymore."

"How much is that?"

"half!"

"..."

Bai Wangshu's eyes flashed with coldness. If there was really no other solution, he might as well take the initiative himself.
