Time flies, and a few days pass in a flash.
On this day, Zhang Ling and others once again left Ten Thousand Demon City on an ancient beast led by the white-robed youth.
After the young man sent them to the place where they had come from, he left, and then most of them flew away in all directions.
Zhang Ling also shone with yellow light and drove his escape light all the way towards Vientiane City. It is not far from Vientiane City, and it will take less than a day to return.
After the human monks left, the area where Hidden Demon Valley was located was once again covered by a large area of mist, and Ten Thousand Demon City returned to calm. Previously, you could still see many high-level half-demons, but at this moment, only some low-level half-demon monks can be seen in the city.
At Hundred Spirit Lake, hundreds of miles away from Ten Thousand Demon City, the place where Zhang Ling and other monks participated in the treasure hunt competition is now shrouded in a layer of white light. Especially within a hundred miles, it is covered by several layers of formations.
And in the formation, there is a layer of dim yellow mist floating. These mists flow very quickly, and the source is the swamp below, and the most concentrated place is where the wood demon rushed out a few days ago. These yellow mists are not ordinary mists, but a strong turbid aura from the wilderness.
If there were no formations to protect it, it would have spread to the outside world.
Suddenly, there was a constant roar in the formation, and several thick pillars of spiritual light shot out into the air. In the four directions of southeast, northwest, the sounds of dragon roars and tiger roars sounded, a huge blue dragon phantom, a winged white tiger, a fire phoenix full of flames, and a black tortoise appeared respectively.
The four spiritual images exuded powerful spiritual fluctuations, flying in the air. Below them stood a monk each.
Standing below the Fire Phoenix phantom was King Scarlet Fire. At this moment, he held a round treasure pearl in his hand, covered with flame spiritual patterns, forming a fire phoenix pattern that was exactly the same as the Fire Phoenix phantom in the sky.
Standing below the Azure Dragon phantom was an old Taoist in a green robe, who looked like an immortal, except that the old man had two curved horns on his head, obviously not a human monk.
Below the other two four spiritual images stood a tall man and a black-robed woman respectively.
The spiritual pressure erupted from the three of them was not weaker than that of King Scarlet Fire, and they were also transformed demon races. Each of them held a treasure pearl of a different color in their hands.
Under their urging, the four treasure pearls kept rotating, shooting out rays of different colors. They converged in the sky.
This scene lasted for an unknown amount of time, until the four spiritual illusions in the sky gradually solidified, just like real demon beasts.
Then King Scarlet Fire suddenly roared, "Activate the formation!" Suddenly, the four demons threw the round beads in their hands and changed their magic formulas.
The four spiritual illusions in the sky also turned into four beams of light and disappeared into the round beads. Finally, King Scarlet Fire and the others flew into the sky and took out a pillar more than ten feet high.
With a few muffled sounds of 'bang bang', they were inserted into the original four small teleportation formations respectively, and at the same time, the four round beads also turned into light and disappeared into the pillars.
Then there was a constant rumbling sound, and the four pillars each changed. The pillar below King Scarlet Fire immediately shone with fire, and flames of spiritual patterns soared into the sky. The fire pillar was condensed into a fire phoenix statue in the firelight.
Soon after, there was a statue standing on each of the four teleportation formations, with the appearance of a blue dragon, a white tiger, a fire phoenix, and a black tortoise respectively. Each of them held a shining pearl in their mouths.
The four spiritual statues, each of which was thirty to forty feet high, were lifelike with flowing spiritual light. From time to time, there were also sounds of dragon roars and tiger roars.
Suddenly, the four statues each shot out a beam of light and hit the sky. The layers of formation light curtains in the sky changed, and dense runes appeared. For a time, the entire sky was dyed in colorful colors.
Soon after, the formations in the sky merged together, leaving only a faint five-color light curtain, covering the space within a radius of hundreds of miles.
King Scarlet Fire was holding a five-color formation plate in his hand, and the spiritual light hit it. A series of runes flew into the sky, and then the five-color spiritual light turned into light spots like fireflies, falling down like rain.
A magical scene appeared. For a time, there was a five-color light rain in the range of a hundred miles. Under the suppression of the five-color light spots, the turbid mist within the range was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a short period of time, no trace of mist could be seen in the Hundred Spirit Lake area. The sky also became bright, and wisps of bright sunshine fell down.
"King Scarlet Fire, the Four Spirits Heaven Sealing Formation has been repaired, and the turbid air below has also been suppressed, then I will leave." The old Taoist with two horns on his head said to himself, and then turned into a blue light and disappeared.
At the same time, the black-robed woman also flashed away silently. Only the tall man looked at this scene coldly and came to King Scarlet Fire's side and smiled.
"Hehe, Brother Scarlet Fire, the King already knows about this and told you not to mind. It's good that Kui Mujiao is gone. You only need to guard Hidden Demon Valley. Is Brother interested in sitting in my Great Army Mountain? Calculating the time, the Celestial Abyss is about to open."
"King Black Tiger, you are also interested in that place." King Scarlet Fire glanced at the tall man when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask with a strange expression.
King Black Tiger shook his head gently, and suddenly took out a black jade slip and threw it to King Scarlet Fire.
"This is the King's plan. Let us go there this time to take a look. Maybe there will be some gains. The monks who broke into this place before actually had the Qianling Cauldron. It is said that this spiritual cauldron disappeared three thousand years ago. Plus, Kui Mujiao took away the Yinmu Cauldron a few days ago. Two Five Elements Cauldrons have been born. In addition, the Fire Element Cauldron on the human race's side. This time, the opening of the Celestial Abyss will not be peaceful. Let's go, we may have to plan something."
Saying that, a white light flashed on the tall man's body, and he turned into a spiritual light and flew towards the sky. King Scarlet Fire stood there and did not follow, just looking at the swamp below, wondering what he was thinking.
After standing silently for more than a dozen times, King Scarlet Fire snorted and disappeared.
……
At the same time, in front of a low mound thousands of miles west of Ten Thousand Demon City, a female cultivator landed with a flash of white light.
This woman was none other than Huang Ying. She took out a white fox token from her hand and shook it towards the front. Where there was nothing in front, a white light flashed and a crack opened. She flashed into it.
Inside was a mountain valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Walking along a small path into the valley. Along the way, you can see lush greenery on both sides, some colorful butterflies flying among the flowers and plants, and a few cranes flying happily in the sky.
The scenery here is very beautiful. When Huang Ying arrived here, she seemed to relax her mind and her mood improved a lot.
Entering the valley along several small paths, you can see a continuous stretch of flowers and plants. And in the farthest part of the line of sight, you can see some traces of buildings.
"Girl Huang, you're here. King Qinghu is waiting for you in Baihu Pavilion." The grass next to her shook for a while, and suddenly a gray-haired fox popped out and said in a human voice.
This fox looks like an ordinary fox, except that it has four eyes, each of which is a different color, which looks very strange.
"So it's Third Master, I know, I'll go and see Senior Qinghu." Huang Ying bowed and said with a smile when she saw the gray-haired fox.
The gray-haired fox is not an ordinary monster, but a four-eyed spirit fox, and its strength has reached the peak of the seventh level. It has also taken a Huasheng fruit, and its intelligence is not weaker than that of humans. This gray fox is a servant of King Qinghu.
This is King Qinghu's cave mansion, "Qingyue Valley".
"Hehe, little girl Xier, you haven't been seen for the past few days, but it's been quite a fuss."
"Thank you Third Master for taking care of Xier." The person and the fox were talking and walking along a small path on the left towards the distance.
After a while, Huang Ying and the four-eyed spirit fox arrived in front of a pool in the valley. This pool is hundreds of feet in radius, not too big, and a layer of ice mist floats on it. When they arrived here, the temperature in the air dropped to freezing point.
But the person and the fox didn't care about this. With their cultivation, they could resist the cold here even if they couldn't use their spiritual power.
Then the gray-haired spirit fox waited on the shore, and Huang Ying walked towards the pool alone. There was no road built on the shore, only a pavilion more than ten feet high could be seen in the center of the pool. It could be vaguely seen that there seemed to be two figures, one large and one small, standing inside.
A white light flashed on Huang Ying's body and she walked directly on the water. She arrived in front of the pavilion in a few breaths.
"Auntie, Xier misses you so much."
As soon as she arrived, a girl ran out of the pavilion and threw herself into her arms. Huang Ying also showed a loving expression and hugged the child with a smile. "Girl, haven't seen you for a few days, have you made Senior unhappy again?"
"I didn't, Old Ancestor has been very happy these past few days. He also fed Xier a lot of unpalatable things." The girl couldn't help but pouted, glanced at the green-robed man who was still standing in the pavilion, made a face and said with a puffed face.
The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, with ink-green hair and pointed ears. What was even more special was her eyes, which were gray and white like there were no pupils.
The two women, one large and one small, talked for a few words, and Huang Ying walked into the pavilion and bowed to the green-robed man. A piece of blood-red wood appeared in her palm.
"Senior Qinghu, this is the piece of blood wood heart."
The green-robed man didn't look back, but looked up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking. After a few breaths of silence, the piece of wood in Huang Ying's hand flashed and flew in front of the green-robed man.
"With this thing, plus the piece of soul-nourishing wood you brought back before and this king's origin spiritual power, you can refine the blood soul jade, so that this girl can wear it all year round, and it can slowly replenish and repair the damaged soul in a hundred years."
As Qinghu Wang said, a gray-black wooden sign appeared in his hand, only the size of a thumb. If Zhang Ling was here, he would definitely recognize that the wooden sign was the piece of soul-nourishing wood that he had traded to Huang Ying decades ago.
"That's great, can Xier's natural defects be repaired?" Huang Ying was overjoyed.
Qinghu Wang glanced at the girl hiding behind Huang Ying, and sighed.
"This girl is a half-demon body, and she inherited some of my natal demon essence. When she was just born, her strength was too weak, and her soul and body were flawed by the backlash of demon energy. The soul can be slowly recovered with the blood soul jade. As for the body, this king also thought of a way.
Qinghu Wang's hand flashed with green light, and four or five emerald green tree vines more than ten feet long appeared in mid-air. What was strange was that these tree vines were constantly twisting like living things, but they were firmly fixed in mid-air by the green light.
This is…
Huang Ying glanced at these strange tree vines, and immediately sensed a trace of micro-pressure from these tree vines. She also instantly thought of the changes in Hundred Spirit Lake a few days ago. Could it be the wood demon that escaped.
"Yes, these are some of the origin tree vines snatched from Kui Mujiao a few days ago. They contain a large amount of wood demon spiritual power, which can condense more than a dozen wisps of Yimu essence, plus several rare spiritual medicines, which can repair the girl's body. It's just that there is still a special spiritual fruit missing as the main ingredient, which may not be easy to find. It depends on the opportunity."
Qinghu Wang said calmly, looking at these wood vines.
Huang Ying naturally showed a happy expression when she heard this, and patted the girl's head. She also pushed the girl forward two steps. The girl reluctantly looked at this Qinghu Wang and couldn't help but say.
"Thank you Old Ancestor."
"This king is going to retreat for a period of time. That spiritual wood has been refined into a kind of exotic treasure. The little girl can break through to the fifth level. Prepare yourselves."
"Yes"
After saying that, Qinghu Wang turned into a green light and disappeared. After a while, Huang Ying took Xier and left with the gray-haired fox.
……
A few hours later, the sky was getting dark.
In the southernmost part of Hidden Demon Valley, two spiritual lights, one black and one green, descended from the sky and landed on a boulder, revealing a tall man and a green-skirted beautiful woman.
This place is a Gobi desert. It is empty all around. Except for the gray-yellow stones, there is no other vegetation. There are also gusts of sand blowing around. This is also the southernmost part of Hidden Demon Valley.
Cough…cough cough
"How are you, is your injury not healed?"
Tian Kui suddenly coughed a few times while covering his chest, and Bi Ying frowned and asked.
"Hmph, it's just a little bit of origin, it doesn't matter. I can recover after resting for a year or two. I didn't expect that Kui Muguan has maintained his ninth-level strength for thousands of years. He can escape from the hands of the four demon kings, Scarlet Fire, Qinghu, plus you and me. He is worthy of being an old guy who has ruled Hidden Demon Valley for thousands of years."
"Since you knew you couldn't stop him, why did you still try to stop him? Kui Muwang is different from our beast-like transformation. His body is the essence of Xuanmu. He has been alive for more than 5,000 years since he was born with spiritual intelligence. His original strength has reached the peak of the tenth level. He is only one step away from transforming into a god. It seems that there is only this one demon spirit transformed from this kind of goblin in this world for tens of thousands of years, right?" Bi Ying glanced at Tian Kui and mocked.
"I was willing to be his subordinate before. I had fear in my heart and developed inner demons. My cultivation has progressed slowly for thousands of years. If I don't fight him, it will be difficult to break through. Now that I face the gap, what is there to fear?"
Tian Kui straightened his body and said, took out a black token from his hand, and a mouthful of black air sprayed on it. Suddenly, the token rotated smoothly, and more than a dozen spiritual lights rushed out and turned into a black beast claw, and slammed it forward fiercely.
Just saw more than thirty yards away in front of the two demons, there was a 'chi chi' sound, and the space there was distorted for a while.
