Another day, although there was no thick fog on Mount Song, the sky was gloomy. The thatched hut where Yuan Huike lived had been rebuilt. Xiqu stood at the door wearing brocade clothes, looking towards the direction of the bamboo forest, as if waiting for someone.

Shaoqing, a masked woman in black walked out of the bamboo forest. When she was still several feet away from the Xiqu, she couldn't help but start teasing: "Haha, I didn't expect Xiqu. In just a few days, you went to Gansu to kill Ge Duo, and then came back to kill two relatives. Now you are still living in seclusion in this broken thatched hut with peace of mind. If we didn't know your background, you would really think you were a paradise!"

Xiqu grinned and said, "Haha, Shadali, I've greeted you personally when I know you're coming, but my mouth is still so rushing, it's really not likeable." Then, he welcomed the woman into the house.

The person who came was Shadali, a member of the Baoyiwei who contacted Xiqu.

The tea table is still the same tea table in the past, but there is no tea set available. At this time, the ones who were already sitting next to him, besides the gibbon monster Dada, there is another monster with black hair, a non-human appearance, and Fu Yan, who had just defected to Xiqu.

"Haha, I'm really not used to seeing you ugly monsters at the old man's house. Why, are you going to discuss something big? "Without waiting for the other party to answer, Shadali sat opposite them.

The black-haired monster sneered: "Hehe Sha Dali, why did you say that I saved your life a few days ago? Is it ugly that we are decent? "

"Okay, Mingyou, I thank you, okay?" Shadali finished teasing and greeted Xi, "Come on, now there is finally no old man and little girl. We don't have to hide our words, sit down."

Xiqu didn't answer. At this time, Dada's thoughts had already been heard in his mind: "Do you do it now?"

Then, he was stunned for a moment, and did not even look at Dada or sit down. He sneered at Shadali, "Hmph, you came a few days ago to inform us to go to Gansu to welcome the rebirth of Gedu. Today, I am here again. Could there be any major news to announce?"

Dada understood, and it seemed that Xiqu wanted to hear what Shadali was going to say before making plans.

Shadali said: "Yes, we shouldn't have come to you so often, but now our Baoyiwei's mission to find Ge Du for the Demon Realm has been completed. You have also obtained the Taixu Crystal. Hong Fuyan, the little leader of the long-haired thief, has also been captured by us. Both parties have achieved their goals. Then the contract we signed with the Demon Realm has automatically terminated. Let me tell you."

Xiqu smiled indifferently and said, "Yes, it's terminated, so, you want to say, you and I have returned to the identities of the purifying messenger and the monster, and we will meet each other in the future?"

At this moment, Dada's thoughts came again: "Why don't we take action?"

Xiqu shook his head gently at Dada while Shadali was not paying attention.

Shadali snorted coldly, "But it may not be. When we signed the contract, since Ge Duo had been sealed, we signed with you, Hanba and the old demon of the Black Mountain. Now the old demon of the Black Mountain is dead, and you have obtained the Taixu Crystal and you can have the identity of the Demon King at any time. Our Baoyiwei plans to sign a new contract with you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh?" Xiqu was stunned for a moment, "New contract? Is it your emperor's idea or Ouyang Zhiguo's idea?" "Greedy wolf star Ouyang Zhiguo is our captain, and his idea is the idea above. Is there any difference?" Shadali said, taking out a piece of paper full of things from his arms, pointing to the name of "Ouyang Zhiguo" signed in the lower right corner and saying, "I'll talk to you on behalf of him. His name has been signed on this. Do you think there will be any false?"

"Haha, you know that I don't know how many words I can't read, but I just fool you, how can I tell the truth? You Baoyiwei has always been mysterious and secret. Not only are the members of the organization unclear, but also..." Xiqu said, leaning closer to Shadali's face and pointing to her veil, "Just how your face looks, I have always been a real person. To be honest, I feel really uncomfortable working with you."

Shadali snorted coldly: "If my outfit has troubled you, I apologize to you. However, I have been doing this for a long time and I have a mission and cannot do it as you wish. Of course, if you really want to understand our organizational composition, Ouyang Zhiguo has authorized me and can announce it to you today."

"Hmph, then, let's talk about it, what did he authorize you to say?"

Shadali said calmly: "Our Baoyiwei consists of seven purifying messengers, collectively known as the 'Big Dipper'. Although you have never seen Ouyang Zhiguo, you have known his name long ago; the Jumen star Wang Tombyun, a woman, is our deputy captain; the third one is Lu Cun Star Pang Jitong; the fourth one is Wenqu Star, a woman surnamed Peng, without a name, we call him Aunt Peng Si; the fifth one is Lian Zhen Star, I am the only Eight Banners child; the sixth one is Kaiyang Star, Zhao Hongcai, contact the Black Mountain Old Demon; the seventh one is Pojun Star, Zhang Xingwen, contact the Hanba... As for their abilities, I won't disclose them here."

As soon as Shadali finished speaking, Dada's voice sounded in Xiqu's mind: "King, they have figured out their identities. Can they do it?"

This time, Xiqu directly glared at Dada fiercely, scaring him to shrink timidly.

Shadali glanced at Xiqu and Dada, and judged from their eyes that they had some interaction in secret. A sharp light of vigilance flashed in his eyes and asked sternly: "Hey, I said, is your sincerity enough?"

Xiqu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled and said, "Haha, enough is enough. Even if you say more, I can't remember it. But I have received Ouyang Zhiguo's sincerity. Tell me, what kind of cooperation do you want to talk to me about?"

Shadali said: "On the first day of the first lunar month next year, Li Shengqing, the Taoist Principal of Zhongyue Temple, will hold a competition called the "Eternal Night Competition" on an unknown mountain fifty miles away. Eight purification envoys will participate. At present, all eight places have been determined. If nothing unexpected happens, the competition will be held as scheduled. In this competition, the first player to arrive at Taoist Principal Li Shengqing in the center of the mountain is the champion. The prize for the championship is a sacred object left by a sacred messenger 150 years ago. Although I don't know what it is, I heard that it will pose a great threat to the demon world. Xiqu, since you want to become the demon king, you will definitely not let that sacred object fall into the hands of any sacred messenger, right?"

Xiqu's face turned serious and he said in confusion: "There is such a thing? Then, of course I can't let that holy object fall into the hands of those guys. Haha, but Shadali, I really can't figure it out, why do you tell me about this kind of thing?"

Shadali said in a righteous voice: "The highest purpose of the Baoyiwei operation is to obey the holy will. Since my Jurchen tribe has had friendly exchanges with the demon world since the era of Huang Taiji, we will of course consider your interests."

Xi Channel: "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be easier for us to go directly to Zhongyue Temple to kill all the Taoists and then find the treasure?"

Shadali shook his head and sneered, "If so, do we still need to cooperate with you? Unfortunately, I have almost searched all the places in Zhongyue Temple, but I have never seen even a small-leaf red sandalwood box. So, only on that day, Li Shengqing might carry the treasure to the stadium. Moreover, in addition to him and the purifying envoy, there are also examiners composed of ordinary Taoist priests. With the power of our Baoyiwei, we can neither attack Taoist priests nor deal with so many purifying envoys, so we come to talk about cooperation with you."

Xiqu laughed and said, "Yes, I know it's right to look for me. Then, on the first day of the first lunar month, I will go to the arena and kill the group of purifying messengers and Taoist priests!"

Shadali still sneered: "You know how to kill! Do you think killing can solve the problem by killing people?"

Xiqu disagreed and said, "Why can't the problem be solved by killing people?"

"In my opinion, it is really a bad idea to kill Lao Xiqu and Duan Yanxin. After all, taking action at this time will not bring you any changes. If I were to leave Duan Yanxin, I would at least better grasp the movements and abilities of the relevant forces. Now, missing an important information officer means missing a pair of eyes that overlook the world."

As soon as these words came out, Xiqu suddenly shook his heart. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide his regretful expression. After a while, he lowered his posture and said, "Then tell me, how do we cooperate?"

"At that time, we must ensure that the competition goes smoothly and the championship is produced smoothly. In this way, Li Shengqing will relax his vigilance and bring the holy objects to the table. Remember, only after the holy objects appear is my chance to take action."

Xiqu said in confusion: "Since that's the case, what's the difference between having me or not?"

Shadali sneered again: "My ability and strengths are very obvious, and I have more agility but less strength. Only by letting a clumsy person become a champion can I have a greater chance of winning."

"Oh? Who do you want to win the championship?"

"Huo Zhizhang, the president of the New World Association, seems to have been secretly investigating the whereabouts of the holy objects. Just a few days ago, I found out that he was looking for something in the underworld of the Imperial Bookstore. Before, I wanted to get rid of it quickly, but after knowing his ability, I changed my mind. This person can transform into strong armor for defense, but he acted slowly and had no sharp weapons to cut off my spiritual energy. Therefore, I need you to cause trouble for several other players to make Huo Zhizhang win the championship."

Xiqu thought for a moment and asked, "I helped you, what reward do you give me?"

Shadali corrected: "You are wrong, it's not that you help us, but that we are helping you! We have only one purpose: to destroy the holy object, so that the demon world and the human world will continue to maintain balance, and that the well water will not violate the river water."

Xiqu snorted and said, "The deal is completed. However, I will definitely make a move for something that is beneficial to me, so I don't have to sign a contract for Luoshizi anymore, right?"
Chapter completed!
