After saying that, Yuan Heng did not dare to breathe, and waited nervously for the Lord's words.??

The masked old man replied directly: "Yes, the 'Supreme Demon Sword' is in my hands. Don't worry, as long as the new palace master ascends the throne, I will send him back to the Demon Palace."

"Ah?" Yuan Heng exclaimed, his answer was beyond his expectations.

Everyone speculated that the disappearance of the "Supreme Demon Sword" was taken away by the Palace Master, at least it was not completely certain. Now that he saw the Palace Master, he naturally asked.

Pang Ruhuo didn't dare to say anything, but he was slandering in his heart.

In his opinion, the old man in front of him was not considered the Lord of the Demon Palace at all. Logically, this "Supreme Demon Sword" had to be returned to the Demon Palace.

However, he obviously didn't dare to say this, so he could only keep it in his heart.

Just as Yuan Heng exclaimed, the masked old man waved his hand and asked them to go out.

"Come here!" After Yuan Heng and Pang Ruhuo came out of the formation, they heard the masked old man calling Huang Xiao's name.

Huang Xiao walked over there without hesitation. When he walked over, he passed by Yuan Heng and Pang Ruhuo.

Huang Xiao could feel the hostility in the tall and thin old man's eyes when he looked at him, while the short and fat old man's eyes were much more kind, and he nodded slightly at him kindly.

Without thinking too much, Huang Xiao walked towards the masked old man's position. Although he still couldn't see the masked old man in the formation, he naturally saw it after entering the formation.

"Senior!" Huang Xiao bowed to the masked old man and said.

The masked old man stared at Huang Xiao for a long time before speaking out: "You are beyond my expectations and are doing well."

Huang Xiao didn't know how to answer for a moment, but he felt a stir in his heart and hurriedly took out the jade slip of the "Eternal Life Alchemy Sutra" he got and said, "Senior, this is a jade slip of the "Eternal Life Alchemy Sutra" that I was lucky enough to get."

After the masked old man took the jade slip from Huang Xiao's hand, he sensed it slightly and said, "Oh, there is a lot of content inside, most of which are indeed information about alchemy, but it's messy and meaningless."

After saying this, the masked old man threw the jade slip back to Huang Xiao.

After Huang Xiao hurriedly caught it, he looked at the masked old man with a puzzled look on his face.

In fact, Huang Xiao didn't know what was in this jade slip.

After he killed Jia Kong and seized the jade slip, he had been facing the threat of those who wanted to snatch it, and he had no time to give him the contents of the jade slip.

"I don't need this jade slip. When you go to the Heavenly Demon Hall next, you might as well hand the jade slip to the Heavenly Demon Hall." said the masked old man.

"Yes!" Huang Xiao didn't ask much. I guess this was just one of the jade slips, and it couldn't impress the masked old man anymore. Perhaps only nine complete jade slips can be done.

"Go to the Demon Hall, you should know how to do it?" asked the masked old man.

"I understand that I will find a way to obtain and practice the third level of the Demonic Skill, so I will not disappoint you." Huang Xiao said hurriedly.

"What else?" said the masked old man again.

"And?" Huang Xiao was stunned. Didn't the masked old man just let himself get the three-level martial arts behind him at that time?

However, a sudden movement in his heart, and a somewhat crazy thought suddenly appeared in his mind. However, he was a little unsure and said a little vaguely: "Work with Pang Yi?"

"Speak directly if you have anything. Is it the nature of a person in the devil's way hidden?" The masked old man scolded and continued, "It's not about competing with Pang Yi, it's about defeating him and seizing the position of Lord of the Demon Palace."

"Ah?" Of course, this was the idea in Huang Xiao's mind just now, but he felt a little crazy, and he felt that this idea was a little unreal.

So I didn't dare to say this directly, just to change the statement, saying that it was a competition with Pang Yi, but the meaning behind it was to compete for the position of the Lord of the Palace.

Now that the masked old man pointed it out directly, Huang Xiao was still a little surprised.

Huang Xiao had never thought about the battle for the position of the Lord of the Demon Palace. He just wanted to enter the Demon Palace and complete the task assigned by the masked old man.

"Hmph, the third level of the Demonic Art is just a small goal for you. I also want to see how far you can achieve. The ultimate goal is to see if you have the final potential to compete for the Lord of the Palace. In my opinion, your strength may have a chance to be comparable to Chao Xu and Lou Feishang, but I didn't expect that after leaving the Mist Mountain, your strength has improved a lot. Now your strength is almost the same as Pang Yi, Sword God Yi and others. Even if it is slightly inferior, it can be made up for it next. After all, they have obtained the best cultivation in the martial arts world since they were young. You can't compare with it before, which is your advantage." said the masked old man.

As the masked old man spoke, at the beginning, Huang Xiao's expression did not change much, but when the masked old man said this, Huang Xiao's face began to change drastically, and he stared at the masked old man with a hint of horror and surprise in his eyes.

He noticed Huang Xiao's expression and the masked old man sighed slightly: "The first time I saw you, I knew your origin. It's almost a thousand years old. What dynasty is now? When I came to the martial arts world, it was the Han Dynasty!"

"Are you a senior of the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Huang Xiao felt a storm in his heart. He didn't expect that he would meet an old friend from the Central Plains here.

He knew that only Senior Li Bai and Senior Li were here, and thought that if he could find Senior Li, he might find his way back.

"I was founded by the Heavenly Demon Sect!" When the masked old man said this, he rarely smiled on his face, "You have practiced the ninth level of the 'Heaven Demon Sect', then you should be the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. It was beyond my expectations for the young man."

"Is it my junior? My disciple Huang Xiao has seen the ancestor!" Huang Xiao hurriedly bowed again.

No matter what, he had learned the Heavenly Demon Art. The Heavenly Demon Art did not come from the Demon Palace, but from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Then he was naturally considered a junior disciple of the first leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The masked old man waved his hand and said, "Tell me what it looks like now?"

Huang Xiao did not dare to neglect, and explained a little, talking about the changes in historical dynasties, the re-rise of the Heavenly Demon Sect, etc.

Even if Huang Xiao was very simplified in this statement, he would have said it for a quarter of an hour. During this period, the masked old man interrupted Huang Xiao several times and asked carefully what he was interested in.

While the two were chatting, the people waiting outside the formation couldn't help but mutter in their hearts, and they didn't know what the two people in the formation were talking about.

Just now, Yuan Heng and Pang Ruhuo came out not long after they entered, and the kid had been inside much longer than the two of them.

From this point of view, the boy was obviously valued by the masked old man.

The martial arts masters in the Demon Palace did not know the identity of the masked old man, but Pang Ruhuo knew it. The more Huang Xiao was like this, the more unhappy he felt.

After all, that kid's strength is no longer simple. If he is valued by the masked old man again, then he will not dare to say that Pang Yi will be 100% sure of him.

Even though he didn't want to admit that the other party was the Lord of the Demon Palace, he could not deny that the other party was the Lord of the Palace. If such a person is the backer of Huang Xiao, how could he be at peace?

"If you can't go on like this, you must remind the family members when you go back and let them pay attention to this boy named Huang. Well, the Supreme Elder, yes, my ancestor of the Pang family." Pang Ruhuo thought to himself.

Although Wang Jiu and Fan Zhongkun didn’t know the true identity of the masked old man, judging from the expressions of the two masters of enlightenment in the Demon Palace, they could also infer that the masked old man really had a deep relationship with the Demon Palace.

They had speculation before, but now they are more certain, and they are even more curious about the real identity of the masked old man.

After hearing Huang Xiao’s narration, the masked old man nodded and said, “Leave your Minghong Sword to me for the time being!”

Huang Xiao was a little stunned, as if he felt some reluctance in Huang Xiao's heart. The masked old man continued, "Your Minghong Sword is not only a sealing object, but also the 'Supreme Demon Sword' of the Demon Palace. Ordinary people cannot recognize the truth and falsehood, and will only treat it as an imitation knife, but there are many people recognized in the Demon Palace. If you take it into the Demon Palace, can you keep it?"

Hearing this, Huang Xiao was shocked and also frightened into a cold sweat.

He had speculation about Minghong Dao's identity, and now he finally got it confirmed from the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

I was scared and sweated coldly, of course, if I really brought the sword into the Demon Palace, I might not be my own.

At present, whether you are willing or not, it is the best choice to keep it for the ancestors.

As for whether he will return it to him in the future, Huang Xiao won’t think too much about it for the time being.

After taking the Minghong sword from Huang Xiao's hand, the masked old man drew his sword and looked at it, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that the rust on the blade will be gone."

"This time in the formation, it was also by chance that the rust was removed with the essence of flames in the lava," said Huang Xiao.

The masked old man nodded and said, "Don't worry, I said it's just for the time being. When you have the strength to keep this knife, I will return it to you. Of course, this knife is also useful for the time being and needs to be borrowed for a while. Now it's just right."

"Yes, I understand." Huang Xiao said, "Master, I have a lot of doubts about this Minghong Sword. Since it was in the Central Plains at that time, what was the "Supreme Demon Sword" in the "Demon Palace"? Also, how should I go back?"

"I have some speculations about the 'Supreme Demon Sword' now, and there are many secrets in it. I haven't figured it out yet. If it's clear, it's not too late to tell you. As for the way back~" When I said this, the masked old man paused, then sighed, "I am also looking for a way back."

Huang Xiao was stunned. He thought that his ancestor had become the Lord of the Demon Palace for so many years in the martial arts world. He might have known such a secret, but he didn't expect that even he didn't know how to go back.

The "Supreme Demon Sword" matter was actually asked by Huang Xiao. Even if he couldn't get the answer, he wouldn't force it. What he really longed for was a way to get back.

Now all this hope is shattered.

So, do you still have a chance to return to the Song Dynasty?

Thinking of his relatives in the Song Dynasty, Huang Xiao's expression darkened.

"But you don't have to be too discouraged. I already have some clues." The masked old man said again.

Huang Xiao forced a smile, thinking that this was the words of the ancestor to comfort him.

"Okay, after you follow them to the Demon Hall. After entering the Demon Hall, I believe they will pass on the latter three levels to you. Originally, only the master of the hall could practice the latter three levels, but this time it is a thousand years, and it can be taught to candidates who compete for the Lord of the Hall. Although I can teach you the latter three levels, I have already passed on the "Three-style Magic Sword Technique" to you before, which is considered an exception. It would be bad if you make an exception. Anyway, you can get it, so you don't have to do it too much. You can't take it lightly. The people behind Pang Yi will fully support him, and I basically don't go back to the Demon Hall and don't have many opportunities to guide you, so it's not that simple to defeat him."

"Yes, the ancestor, the disciples must do their best to defeat Pang Yi, even if Pang Yi has the support of the Burial God Hall." Huang Xiao said.

When the masked old man saw Huang Xiao's appearance, he shook his head a little. He knew that Huang Xiao had a little misunderstanding. Behind Pang Yi was not only the Burial God Hall, but also Pang Ji.

Pang Ji would definitely not ignore this matter, but he didn't need to explain such a thing too clearly to Huang Xiao.

"You don't have such great pressure, and the Demon Hall will definitely support you with all your strength." The masked old man reached out and patted Huang Xiao on the shoulder and said.

When his hand touched Huang Xiao's shoulder, his face suddenly changed, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

The sudden change surprised Huang Xiao and felt the terrifying aura scattered on his ancestor's body. He couldn't help but want to retreat.

However, the masked old man gently patted Huang Xiao's right hand and pressed it hard. Huang Xiao felt as if he was carrying a huge rock on his shoulder, which made him unable to move at all.

"Have you practiced the Demon Refining Art?" The masked old man said with a little cold tone.

"Ah?" Huang Xiao said hurriedly, "No, no."

Just as Huang Xiao spoke, the masked old man was surprised and suspicious. Huang Xiao felt that the pressure on his shoulder had decreased a lot. At the same time, he could also feel a ray of true energy on the ancestor's palm entering his meridians from his shoulders.

Huang Xiao did not dare to resist, and let this true qi wander in his meridians. Even if he wanted to resist, he would not have any chance. He thought about how powerful the demon true qi that the ancestor, who left in his body to suppress the "Demon Blood Curse" was burst out.

Huang Xiao felt that the ancestor's true qi was circulating in his meridians for a week, and finally returned to his dantian. Then he moved his hand away and said, "It's true that it's not the Demon Refining Art. I almost felt wrong just now. But your true qi seems to have been refined. What's going on?"

When he reached out and patted Huang Xiao on the shoulder, he felt that Huang Xiao's true energy was a little weird. He thought that Huang Xiao had practiced the Demon Refining Art and reacted a little loudly. (To be continued.)8
