Chapter 496: Their own plans

Pu Zixuan was attacked by Xiqu late at night. At the same time, in the base of Dagou Town, Su Sanniang, Yu Xiangdi, Shadali and Sun Xiaoshu were gathering together, all of whom were like ants on a hot pan, restless.

Just over an hour after Pu Zixuan was acting alone, the sky became darker. Seeing that he had not returned, the atmosphere in the inn became more and more serious. Chen Shuqing, especially, lost Pu Zixuan's message, and his anxiety was beyond words. At a certain moment, he finally couldn't help but flew out of the window alone, regardless of the obstacles of everyone, and wanted to go to Chengde Summer Resort to find out.

More than an hour passed, and the time had come. Ordinary people had already fallen asleep, but these companions were not sleepy at all. They kept looking at the moon-high night outside the window with sparse stars.

They had only one expectation - that is, Chen Shuqing could come back with her lost companions, at least, with Pu Zixuan.

Because of Sun Xiaoshu's existence, several purifying messengers could not grasp the movements of Chen Shuqing's breath at any time. Fortunately, just after midnight, Yu Xiangdi approached Chen Shuqing's Feng Yu and shouted: "Chen Shuqing is back!"

A moment later, a fox demon's figure flew over and turned back to his human form as soon as he passed through the window and fell to his companion.

Seeing Chen Shuqing coming back alone and looking lost, everyone was mentally prepared for the ups and downs.

Sure enough, before a group of people could ask, Chen Shuqing took the lead and looked around and said, "Is Xiaoqi back?"

Yu Xiangdi shook his head: "No, we still hope you will bring him back."

Chen Shuqing then sighed and took the initiative to report: "I didn't find him either. I went to Chengde Summer Resort first and flew over the moon pool. Seeing that the pool was already empty, I left and searched around for a few more times, but couldn't find Xiaoqi's trace... It seems that he must have been captured by Veres!"

Su Sanniang shrugged and said, "Now, it turns out that six people saved two people, but now it turns out that five people have saved three people. Fortunately, you are back, otherwise, the manpower will be even short of people!"

"In order not to repeat the same mistake, I didn't dare to land when I was searching near the villa. So I said a long time ago that I can't fight on the wheel, but Xiaoqi just didn't listen!" After Chen Shuqing complained, she sat down dejectedly, and tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.

Shadali patted Chen Shuqing on the shoulder and comforted him: "You are right. Impulsive emotions will only bring worse results. Now we still have five people, enough to open the underground palace. What we can do now is to stop reducing our combat power in the remaining days, practice hard, and wait that day, let's work with Pu Zixuan and the others inside and outside."

Sun Xiaoshu also comforted: "Yes, Sister Shuqing, those two brothers are powerful and not that easy to die. We must be full of confidence in them."

With the comfort of the two, Chen Shuqing became a little more energetic, forced a smile, and greeted everyone, "Okay, then, everyone go back to the room and have a good rest."

The next day, on a hill about twenty miles east of Chengde Summer Resort, He Tianao leaned on the trunk of a tree alone and enjoyed a moment of coolness under the shade of the tree. He stared at the mountain road intently, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

There may be villagers passing by on the mountain road, and after the eyes of both sides meet, they ignore each other again.

He Tianao was not waiting for them. Seeing that the people he was waiting for had not arrived for a long time, He Tianao sighed impatiently from time to time.

At this moment, a man's voice came from above Qiaomu: "I've been waiting for a long time, He Tianao, I'm here."

He Tianao was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a red-spotted snake slowly climbing down the trunk, stopping on a branch above, with its long torso coiled with branches, stretching out a head, and making a cold smile at He Tianao while spitting out a letter.

He Tianao suddenly felt disgusted and said angrily: "You are Xiqu? Since you asked me to come here, why should you take such a sneaky method?"

The red-spotted snake is the Xiqu. Just last night, after Xiqu was driven out of the Rehe Underground Palace by Veres, he came to the wilderness and sensed He Tianao's breath and sent a message to him. He made an appointment to come here to meet and discuss things early the next morning, and told him not to tell other members of the Xintiandihui.

He Tianao was quite surprised by the rebirth of Xiqu and the appearance of this place, and was even more puzzled by why he had made an appointment with him alone. But the more he was like this, the more curious He Tianao was, so he agreed and planned to see what this guy was selling in the gourd first and then make plans.

Xiqu had long been unexpected about He Tianao, so he was too lazy to argue with him. He responded in a playful tone: "At that time, a few of your New World Associations were defeated by me on the field of the Eternal Night Competition in Henan. If you are eager to take revenge and have a few hidden underground and want to attack me, I have to find a way to escape first, right?"

What Xiqu was worried about was Xiao Jue's ability to escape from the ground. He didn't know that Xiao Jue was dead, so he chose to hover down from the tree.

He Tianao said disdainfully: "Hmph! The one who can escape from the ground has already left us. Moreover, if I want to attack you, I can do it even if you hide in the tree. Since I decided to come here alone to see you, I just want to hear what can be discussed between you and me."

"Hahaha, it's not bad, I really chose the right person. When I was fighting with you, I felt that you were different from them and were a rational opponent." After Xiqu praised He Tianao, he talked about the serious matter, "The enemy of the enemy is a friend. I know that your Xintiandi will always have a grudge against Pu Zixuan, and among all the purifying messengers, he is the one I hate the most, so this time, we might as well cooperate, I will tell you Pu Zixuan's whereabouts, and then get rid of him together."

After hearing this, He Tianao couldn't help but laugh secretly. It seemed that this cunning former demon king only knew that Xintiandi would be incompatible with Pu Zixuan, but he didn't know that he was the one with the most special relationship with Pu Zixuan, and he actually told him such important information without reservation.

So, He Tianao pretended to be concerned and said, "Really? Where is he?"

Now, Xiqu and Veres have become enemies, so they no longer hide it and tell the truth: "Haha, let me tell you, don't believe it. There is also an underground palace under the Rehe Palace, called Rehe Underground Palace, which was built by Huang Taiji to thank a group of bear monsters for their life-saving grace. Now, there is a black bear monster called Veres living there. It is an alien monster that has lived for three thousand years, from Russia, and one of the four legendary demon kings."

He Tianao was shocked in an instant. Although Aunt Peng Si and Hu Gu had encountered bear demons at the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, they suspected the existence of the underground palace, and although he and Hu Gu even scrambled into Chengde Summer Resort to investigate, the truth about the underground palace was never solved. Unexpectedly, all this was told by a monster with ulterior motives.

"Is it possible that Pu Zixuan is in that underground palace?" He Tianao asked.

"Yes, Pu Zixuan didn't know how high the world was, so he ran to challenge Veres, but he was defeated by me and Veres and captured him. Now, he is being imprisoned in a small-leaf red bean cage in the underground palace."

He Tianao immediately wondered: "Since you and that Veres teamed up to capture Pu Zixuan, you can deal with him as you like, and why do you tell me about this?"

Xiqu snorted coldly, "It's no big deal. It's just that I'm determined to get rid of Pu Zixuan and get out of the way, but Veres stubbornly wanted to transform him into a bear demon. There was a conflict between us, so I chose to part ways with him. I'm telling you about this now, and I hope you can go back and tell the New World Association. Ten days later, I will break into the underground palace with you and take off Pu Zixuan's head. At that time, his heart will belong to me, and the Liuquan Yagi in his body will belong to you, how about you?"

He Tianao was immediately frightened, but on the surface he still catered to him: "Yes, it's a good idea. But why wait until ten days later?"

"This is another reason why I came to you for cooperation - ten days later, the moon will be broken, and the Bodhisattva will close his eyes. At that time, at the four statues of Bodhisattvas in the southeast, west and north, you will each send one person to touch the statue, and the four entrances of the underground palace will open. I can't do it alone, and you need to act together."

"So, this is how the underground palace is opened..." He Tianao thought for a moment, nodded, "Okay, such a god-given opportunity, I believe President Huo will agree. I will go back and tell me, wait for my news."
