“Let’s go quickly. Although the Crimson Fox Token can release powerful demon spirits, its duration won’t be long, and it consumes a lot of spiritual power.”
Huang Ying's face paled slightly as she quickly retrieved the jade pendant, turning into a white light and flying forward.
Zhang Ling naturally didn't hesitate and followed closely, while also glancing at the battlefield below.
Fierce battles were erupting at the top of the giant stone pillar, with the area only a few miles wide divided into several combat groups. Besides the cultivators and demons who had just besieged the two of them,
the fat half-demon with seventh-order strength was fighting a cultivator shrouded in a black robe. For a time, flashes of blood and surges of black gas intertwined, presenting a balanced stalemate.
In the distance, the Golden-Winged Bird and White Deer were unleashing astonishing auras, besieging a half-demon woman with dozens of black water balls floating around her.
The woman had a long fish tail, indicating she was no ordinary half-demon. She held a long-necked jade bottle in her hand, shooting out streams of black water that transformed into countless flying fish to attack.
In the sky, there were also several combat groups. Nearby, a purple light and a cyan light collided continuously, chasing each other into the distance.
To the left, the sound of wind roared as several gray-yellow tornadoes rapidly rotated, firing wind blades that besieged a burly man with black scales covering his hands.
...
In the blink of an eye, the two had flown more than half a mile, already leaving the combat area behind.
Suddenly, rumbles echoed ahead. Zhang Ling turned his head and saw that an astonishing wave was erupting a hundred feet away. A strange bird with a purple-black body and two pairs of wings under its ribs was fighting a dog-headed half-demon.
The two changed direction, detouring around them, and increased their speed by a third, flying towards the location of the teleportation array. Along the way, they encountered three or four more combat groups, but no other cultivators blocked their path.
After a cup of tea's time, they saw a flat black mountain ahead. They could see several thick cyan-black stone pillars standing in one area of the mountain peak, surrounding a circular platform in the center.
Seeing the platform, the two were overjoyed—it was the teleportation array leading to the outside. As long as they teleported out, their goal for this trip would be achieved.
Zhang Ling's divine sense swept towards the area and suddenly discovered a figure standing on the teleportation array.
It was a figure wearing a white robe and a bamboo hat. Judging by the figure, it seemed to be a woman. He immediately thought of the woman he had brushed past in front of Flying Rain Pavilion two days ago. At that time, the woman had released her divine sense to check his aura.
Was it the same person? Zhang Ling wondered. Could this person also be a cultivator participating in the competition to seize treasures? But this woman hadn't fought with other cultivators, and he hadn't seen her in front of the mountain pillar earlier.
The white-robed woman was also dragging a gray light ball about ten feet in size, as if casting some kind of spell. Suddenly, the gray light in her hand erupted with a strong wave. It flew into the sky and formed a gray-black Bagua diagram on the small teleportation array.
The gray Bagua diagram rotated, sending down beams of light as thick as arms, hitting the teleportation array on the ground and the several pillars next to it.
Instantly, earth and stone shattered, and rumbles echoed continuously. The ground where the small teleportation array was located was like an earthquake, with countless cracks opening up. The area within fifty or sixty feet of the teleportation array collapsed, and earth and stone shattered.
“Not good, that person is destroying the teleportation array!” Huang Ying exclaimed upon seeing this.
Seeing the white-robed female cultivator's actions, both Zhang Ling were shocked. They couldn't let this person destroy the teleportation array.
Huang Ying raised her hand, and a red light shot out, rotating once in mid-air, then fired more than a dozen huge fireballs to attack.
The three cyan flying swords floating around Zhang Ling also slashed out, and cyan sword lights swept out like dragons.
But they were still half a distance away from the teleportation array. As the attack was about to land, the white-robed female cultivator naturally discovered them. The fluorescent light on her body flickered, and she instantly shot out seven or eight silver light balls. Streaks of electric arcs danced on them, instantly exploding into arcs of electricity to meet the attack.
Instantly, cyan light, sword light, and firelight intertwined, exploding in mid-air and sweeping across a space of thirty to forty feet.
After releasing this attack, the white-robed woman did not attack again. Instead, she tossed her hand, and a palm-sized black crystal appeared in her hand. Silver spiritual power was injected into it, and the crystal quickly grew larger, instantly turning into a rhomboid crystal block three feet long and ten feet wide.
The white-robed woman flashed and flew into the air, reaching the gray Bagua diagram. Then, she slammed the huge crystal block in her hand onto the gray Bagua.
A bizarre scene appeared. The crystal directly turned into a black light and disappeared into the Bagua. As the Bagua rotated rapidly, it shot out spiritual light clusters of various colors, as many as twenty or thirty, instantly landing on the small teleportation array below.
Immediately, the teleportation array was enveloped in a glow of light.
After doing all this, the white-robed female cultivator did not hesitate at all. The silver light on her body flashed, and she turned into a silver light, flying rapidly in another direction.
Seeing this scene, Huang Ying only glanced at it, and although her face was ugly, she did not chase. She flashed to the side of the teleportation array. Looking down, she found that the teleportation array in the glow of light had not been destroyed. The stone platform on which the teleportation array was built remained intact, only sunken into the ground by more than ten feet.
At the same time, the surrounding pillars also remained intact.
Huang Ying felt a little relieved. As long as the teleportation array remained intact, it could still be used.
Teleportation arrays, as special formations, are inherently difficult to destroy. The construction materials are special and have certain protective restrictions, so they are not so easily destroyed. The cost of this small teleportation array alone is comparable to several magic weapons, and this does not include the main materials of the teleportation array.
Zhang Ling also landed next to her, but did not look at the teleportation array. Instead, he looked into the distance at the silver escape light, and couldn't help but feel that the white-robed woman was somewhat familiar.
Was it her? He couldn't help but wonder. But the white-robed woman's strength seemed to have reached the late Golden Core stage. For a time, he was not sure.
“Zhang, this teleportation array can still be used. It seems that the person just now was not trying to destroy the teleportation array, but the spiritual light on top of the teleportation array is a bit strange.” Huang Ying frowned slightly, turned to Zhang Ling and said, but suddenly found him looking at the sky. She couldn't help but ask with a strange expression.
“Have you met that person before?”
“It’s nothing.” Zhang Ling just shook his head and didn't say anything, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the teleportation array in the big pit.
Although Huang Ying felt that Zhang Ling's expression was strange, this was not the time to delve into these matters. She flipped her hand and took out the Crimson Fox Jade Pendant again. She activated a magic spell with her hand, and injected spiritual power into it. The jade pendant turned crimson red, and the flame fox carved on it became lifelike, and then turned into a fox phantom again, spewing out huge fireballs to attack the strange glow covering the teleportation array.
But after attacking for more than a dozen breaths, this layer of glow remained motionless, without even a trace of being broken.
Huang Ying's face changed slightly, and she increased the injection of spiritual power. Suddenly, the fox phantom opened its mouth and spewed out a flame beam as thick as a foot, hitting the glow fiercely. Immediately, there was a rumble, and after the firelight passed, the glow covering the teleportation array remained motionless.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling's face also sank. Suddenly, the three flying swords overlapped in front of him, turning into a cyan light and slashing on this layer of glow with a tearing sound, but it seemed to be of no use.
In the following time, they each used several attack methods to attack the glow, but they didn't leave a trace on it.
Seeing this situation, both of them were shocked. The power of the attacks they released was already very strong, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator would be able to resist it, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even break the glow.
Zhang Ling and Huang Ying looked at each other, feeling that this matter was a bit strange. They were both thinking about what the white-robed female cultivator was doing here, was she just trying to seal the teleportation array?
“It seems that the teleportation array here cannot be used for the time being, let's go see the other three teleportation arrays.”
“Okay.”
After discussing a few sentences, they drove their escape light and flew towards another direction. Within this hundred miles, there are four small teleportation arrays, this is only one teleportation array in the east, and there are three teleportation arrays that can transmit to the outside world.
As the two left, the place returned to calm, only the teleportation array in the big pit emitted a strange glow.
Soon after, dragon roars and tiger howls came from this teleportation array, and the strange glow covering the teleportation array quickly gathered together.
...
At the same time, in the Spirit Offering Palace in Myriad Demon City, there was a sudden burst of extremely strong spiritual power fluctuations.
The ground in the center of the palace lit up with five-colored spiritual patterns. Like triggering some kind of formation, souls were connected together, showing patterns of demon beasts such as golden dragons and fire phoenixes. These patterns were abstract and connected to each other, forming a huge formation covering the entire palace.
As the patterns all flashed with spiritual light, the eastern city area where the Spirit Offering Palace was located also seemed to have suffered an earthquake, shaking violently.
What is happening?
Earthquake!
The cultivators in this area felt it one after another, and gathered on the streets. At the same time, many people directly drove their magic weapons and flew into the air. Earthquakes are nothing to cultivators.
At the same time, other areas also felt it, and many cultivators gathered and discussed it.
Some high-level cultivators felt it even more strongly. In addition to sensing the tremors on the ground, they also sensed a powerful spiritual power spreading from the eastern city area. For a time, many people looked towards the eastern district.
Inside the Spirit Offering Palace, the disheveled man and the enchanting green-clothed woman were looking at a five-colored light ball suspended in the center of the palace.
This light ball was only ten feet in size, but it was covered with spiritual patterns and burst out with strong spiritual power fluctuations, looking very mysterious. The light ball was sometimes big and sometimes small, and the spiritual light on it was also sometimes bright and sometimes dim, extremely unstable.
This was the source of the earthquake.
The disheveled man and the green-skirted woman had gloomy faces at this time. It was natural that something big had happened that could make two transformed demons show such expressions.
“Heavenly Chief, what is going on? Why is the core of the Spirit Offering Palace formation suddenly changing?” the green-clothed woman asked.
The disheveled man did not answer, but flipped his hand and a black formation plate appeared. Spiritual power was hit on it, and spiritual light appeared and injected into the five-colored light ball. After a few breaths, the light ball stabilized a little.
Heavenly Chief's mouth twitched, revealing a sinister smile. “Green Shadow, notify Crimson Fire, and say that there is a change in Hundred Spirit Pool.”
“Hundred Spirit Pool, isn't the junior's treasure hunt being held now?”
The green-clothed woman was carefully watching the five-colored spiritual light and said with a strange expression when she heard this, but suddenly she thought of something and her beautiful eyes blinked. “Could it be… are you saying that this change comes from Hundred Spirit Pool, could it be that the guy pressed under the Four Spirit Formation is awake?”
Heavenly Chief laughed loudly, looking a little excited. The green-clothed woman had a strange expression and couldn't help but ask. “Old Heavenly Chief, it's no joke if that old demon comes out. Aren't you going to notify that adult?”
“Hehe, the king just entered the Black Wind Cave to close a life-and-death retreat not long ago, and it will be difficult to leave the retreat within a thousand years. Even if I notify him, I'm afraid he won't leave the retreat. Now that Hidden Demon Valley is managed by Crimson Fire, let's leave it to him.”
“Besides, what if the old demon comes out. After being sucked of his energy and blood for so many years, even if he has a Heavenly Demon Body, it will be difficult to withstand it. His strength has greatly fallen after all, what is there to fear?”
Looking at the wholesale man's appearance as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, Green Shadow chuckled. “Heavenly Chief, this matter has nothing to do with you, right? I remember that before you transformed, you followed that monster.”
Heavenly Chief pondered with a blank expression for a moment before saying. “This matter was not done by me, but I do hope that the old demon can escape. Hidden Demon Valley has been silent for thousands of years and it is time to make some noise. If it wasn't for the old monster's cultivation error, he wouldn't have been suppressed. This matter is likely related to the wooden cauldron that sealed the old monster.”
“Oh, do you also covet the Five Spirit Cauldron.”
“Hmph, so what, the Heavenly Abyss is about to open, and the Qian Spirit Cauldron and Yin Wood Cauldron have been born one after another. Maybe it is also an opportunity for us. It is naturally good to get a Spirit Cauldron, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it. Our cultivation has reached this point, and it is difficult to break through even with hard cultivation. Only the greatest opportunity is there. The Five Elements Spirit Cauldron itself is the key to the Upper Heavens, and there is a legend there is also a secret to reaching the Upper Realm, are you not tempted?”
As Heavenly Chief spoke, a strong baleful aura involuntarily appeared on his body, and his eyes were blood red, as if he had fallen into madness.
Green Shadow frowned a few times, but didn't say anything. She stretched out her hand and a green spirit talisman appeared in her slender jade hand. A green light flashed and it turned into a green light and flew out of the Spirit Offering Palace, disappearing into the sky.
...
Let's talk about Zhang Ling and the two of them flying towards the other teleportation array.
Suddenly, a green cloud blocked the front and shot out sharp wooden thorns to attack.
Seeing the sudden attack, Zhang Ling immediately knew that an enemy was blocking him. The cyan sword light outside his body instantly attacked, and at the same time, his figure flashed and moved a dozen feet away, avoiding the frontal impact.
