However, the deeper cause and effect can be traced back to the divine realm a thousand years ago.
The divine general Fei Peng and the demon lord Chong Lou clashed repeatedly due to the conflict between the two realms, and the battle remained evenly matched. Gradually, the two developed a mutual respect for each other.
Chonglou proposed to Feipeng a duel in a newly discovered camera to see who was superior.
Fei Peng hesitated repeatedly due to the heavenly rules of the divine realm, but ultimately could not resist Chong Lou's temptation and agreed.
The two were evenly matched, and their contest dragged on for a long time, eventually alarming the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Emperor Fuxi sent troops to capture Fei Peng and bring him to justice. Fei Peng was distracted by the approaching pursuers, and his sword was knocked down to earth by Chonglou, resulting in his defeat.
Fei Peng was punished by Fu Xi and demoted to a mortal.
Time flies, and Fei Peng has been reincarnated many times, eventually becoming Jing Tian, a shop assistant at the Yong'an Pawnshop in the Tang Clan of Yuzhou.
Jing Tian met Tang Xuejian, a young lady from the Tang Clan, and also obtained the Demon Sword from Chonglou, which changed his life forever.
...
Where is this?
After Li Yao and Xiao Bai entered the white vortex, they found themselves in a dense forest.
At this moment, it was pitch black all around, so it must be nighttime.
"Let's go up and take a look!"
Li Yao pointed to the sky, then leaped into the air, transforming into a golden light and soaring into the sky, where he stood suspended in mid-air.
Little White also flew into the sky.
Li Yao quickly scanned his surroundings, his gaze settling on the northwest direction.
"That should be Mount Shu!"
Li Yao pointed to the northwest direction.
In the darkness of night, a towering, majestic mountain range hangs suspended in the air, making it particularly eye-catching.
"It really is Mount Shu!"
Xiao Bai looked over, smiled, and said.
"Something seems to be going on at Mount Shu!"
Li Yao stared in the direction of the Demon-Locking Tower of Mount Shu.
The Five Elements Formation on the Demon-Sealing Tower was spinning rapidly, seemingly resisting the most terrifying attack in the world.
However, the offensive was far too powerful and too swift.
The Demon-Sealing Tower, a powerful artifact bestowed upon it by the gods, was utterly powerless to resist and exploded instantly.
The entire earth shook violently, as if it were an earthquake!
A fiery red figure passed through the blasted-open hole in the Demon Locking Tower and entered the Demon Locking Tower, a place that both the demon race feared and hated to the core.
"Chonglou?!"
Li Yao and Xiao Bai exchanged a glance and exclaimed in unison.
Immediately, a smile appeared on Li Yao's face.
It must be that Chonglou broke into the Demon-Locking Tower, intending to take the Demon Sword from inside, and then go to Yong'an Pawnshop tomorrow to catch up with Jingtian.
A moment later, the fiery red figure flew out from the top of the Demon-Locking Tower, holding a silver longsword in its hand.
The long sword had a bright green hilt and an exceptionally wide guard.
"The sword in his hand must be the Demon Sword!"
Li Yao murmured.
"snort!"
Chonglou snorted coldly, and with a flash, disappeared from the top of the Demon Locking Tower.
At the same time, a strange, extremely excited cry came from the Demon-Sealing Tower, and many hideous demons, monsters, and vengeful spirits ran out from the top of the tower.
Many of them had been suppressed for hundreds of years.
Having escaped from their cage, they were naturally extremely excited and thrilled.
However, the huge commotion at the Demon Locking Tower had already alerted the Shu Mountain Sect.
Many members of the Shu Mountain Sect unleashed their magical weapons, frantically trying to capture the monsters that had escaped from the Demon Locking Tower.
At this moment, Mount Shu is in complete chaos.
However, Li Yao did not interfere with the matter of Shushan exorcising demons.
After all, this is something that has already happened, and if he intervenes, it will definitely have unpredictable consequences for the future.
This time, he returned to the era of Chinese Paladin 3, trying his best to witness the story of Chinese Paladin 3 as an observer.
"Let's go to Yuzhou City and find an inn to stay in first."
Li Yao said.
"good!"
Xiao Bai nodded.
Immediately, the two leaped into the air, transforming into two streaks of light that disappeared into the night.
The next moment, two streaks of light descended from the sky and landed on the main street of Yuzhou City.
Ouch!
Just as the two streaks of light landed on the ground, a figure suddenly collided with one of them.
Chapter 563 An Accidental Encounter with Tang Xuejian
On a main street in Yuzhou City, as soon as two streaks of light landed, a figure collided with one of them.
"ah!"
With a scream, the figure flew backward at an angle.
The next moment, the figure seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, and landed gracefully on its feet.
Under the moonlight, the figure's clothing and appearance could be vaguely seen.
It was a girl wearing an orange dress.
Unlike ordinary women, her hair was orange.
Even her eyes had a hint of orange.
The girl had fair skin, and her legs, as white as jade, were partially exposed beneath the hem of her dress.
The shoes on her tiny feet were also orange.
The vibrant orange color, under the moonlight, made the girl appear especially lively and adorable.
In addition, the girl's delicate face, while not quite peerless in beauty, could still be described as beautiful and captivating.
"ah?"
"I didn't fall?"
The girl quickly checked herself and was very puzzled.
However, she immediately raised her head, her angry eyes glaring at the two people in front of her.
"Hey, can't you guys watch where you're going? You suddenly appeared out of nowhere, didn't you see someone there?"
The girl pointed at the two people opposite her and said angrily.
"What a fiery temper you have! If I hadn't helped you, you probably would have fallen and gotten a bloody butt by now!"
The one who spoke was Li Yao.
The person next to him was, of course, Xiaobai.
"You bastard, you hit me and you still think you're right!"
Do you know who I am?
The girl shouted arrogantly.
"Oh, let me guess!"
Li Yao pretended to be very interested and looked the girl up and down.
Immediately, he laughed and said, "This is Yuzhou. There are many famous people in Yuzhou, but there are probably not many girls as unreasonable as you. I guess... you must be Tang Xuejian, the spoiled and willful young lady from Tangjiabao."
Once Li Yao saw the girl's face clearly and based on the progress of the plot, he guessed her identity.
In the original story, just as Chonglou took the demon sword from the Demon Locking Tower, it triggered a major earthquake.
At that time, Tang Xuejian was at Yong'an Pawnshop with Jing Tian.
Tang Xuejian accidentally broke her grandfather's purple clay teapot, so she ran to Yong'an Pawnshop in the dead of night, hoping to find an identical purple clay teapot to replace it.
As a result, Jing Tian mistook him for a thief.
After an argument between the two, Jing Tian was ambushed by Tang Xuejian with poisonous caltrops.
Jing Tian had no choice but to agree to help Tang Xuejian repair the purple clay teapot in exchange for the antidote for the poisonous caltrop.
Li Yao had been to Yong'an Pawnshop and discovered that the girl had come from the direction of Yong'an Pawnshop.
Combined with the girl's clothing and tone of voice.
Therefore, he concluded that the girl must be Tang Xuejian.
"What?"
"How dare you call me unreasonable, willful, and capricious! You've got some nerve!"
Tang Xuejian's eyes widened, and the anger in her eyes intensified.
Without warning, she swiftly flicked her right hand, and a gust of wind howled out, striking Li Yao like lightning.
