"Demon cultivator?"
Many people asked.
Xia Chenqing nodded, "Yes, after a spirit beast or fierce beast reaches the complete stage, it will undergo a thunder tribulation. If it succeeds, it can choose to transform into a human body to practice cultivation. This is the origin of demon cultivation."
"However, not all demon cultivators are cruel and bloodthirsty. Only those who rely on devouring human flesh and blood to improve their cultivation will have blood that stinks so badly."
Qin Guang frowned and asked, "But why are there demon cultivators here?"
Ying Ling coughed lightly, unwilling to let Xia Chenqing steal the spotlight, so he took the initiative to explain, "Rumor has it that Venerable Wei Yan hates evil with a vengeance. Whenever he encounters demonic cultivators, evil cultivators, and devil cultivators who harm the people, he will destroy their bodies and suppress their souls in his spiritual artifact, the Soul Locking Tower, where they will never be reincarnated!"
Upon hearing this, everyone admired Venerable Wei Yan's character.
Only Jiang Deng frowned slightly, keenly aware that something was wrong.
Why not just kill the evil demons that bring harm to the people? Why go to the extra mile of locking their souls in the Soul Locking Tower, where they will never be reborn?
This motive is a bit strange...
"Where is the injured demon cultivator?"
Everyone looked around hurriedly, but did not find any demon cultivators in the Soul Locking Tower.
Shi Zihang asked in a trembling voice, "What do you think... could this be a demon cultivator?"
Following the direction Shi Zihang pointed, everyone's eyes fell on the vines above their heads.
The environment inside the Soul Locking Tower is obviously very harsh, and the outside world is all desert with no water source.
But the stems of these vines were surprisingly thick, and the leaves were surprisingly green. They were densely packed on the walls and the ground, completely covering the road ahead. Nothing seemed right no matter how you looked at it.
Jiang Zhi frowned and said, "These vines do look a bit like the black shadow that attacked us just now. Could it really be a demon cultivator?"
"What's the point of ink? Just try it and you'll know."
Jiang Deng was too lazy to listen to the discussion any further. She walked directly to the wall closest to her, grasped the heavy light sword, and slashed hard at the vines covering the wall.
The sharp heavy lightsaber easily cut through the skin of the vine.
Gulp gulp...
Sticky black blood actually oozed out from the cut, exactly the same as the blood of the demon cultivator that Qin Guang had just stepped on!
"Master Jiang Feng, be careful!"
Xiao Yan's voice rang out.
The next moment, he actually pounced directly towards Jiang Deng.
Seeing Xiao Yan with his arms open getting closer and closer to him, Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows. What is this guy going to do?
However, she was in the Jindan realm after all, so her reaction was naturally much faster than Xiao Yan's. Before Xiao Yan touched her, Jiang Deng pointed her toes and easily flew into the air.
Xiao Yan was a little stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Deng to be so fast!
However, his forward momentum was too strong and he had no time to stop, so he arrived at the place where Jiang Deng had just stood.
Before his feet touched the ground, the vine that had just been cut by Jiang Deng could no longer bear it. It twisted its body and directly pulled Xiao Yan away.
The two of them moved very quickly, reacting almost simultaneously.
Bang!
Xiao Yan's body hit the other wall, while Jiang Deng slowly fell to the ground.
"You're free..."
Jiang Deng was about to blame Xiao Yan when he suddenly felt his feet go empty and his body fell uncontrollably.
As his body fell, Jiang Deng widened his eyes in surprise.
There is a hole in the ground!
Are you kidding me?! Isn't this the first floor of the Soul Locking Tower? Why is there another floor underneath?
Jiang Deng quickly mobilized the power of chaos and was about to jump back out of the pit when suddenly a green area appeared in his sight and the entrance to the cave was sealed.
Jiang Deng: “…”
When she comes out, she will definitely settle accounts with Xiao Yan, who has been looking for trouble and only making things worse!
With a heart full of grievances, Jiang Deng fell into the pit.
"Sister!"
"Ginger Lantern!"
"Master Jiang!"
…
Everyone shouted in unison.
However, everything happened so quickly that before anyone could react, Jiang Deng fell into the pit.
Vines from all directions came here and covered the entrance of the cave, piling up densely like a small hill.
Seeing this, Baili Chengfeng frowned slightly.
It seems that the only way to open the passage and find Jiang Deng is to clear away these vines.
Due to the presence of so many people, Baili Chengfeng could not reveal his true identity. He could only use the spiritual power of his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation to clear the vines, and the progress was not fast.
"Xiao Yan, what are you doing!"
Jiang Zhiling looked at Xiao Yan dissatisfiedly, "If you hadn't been so nosy just now, I wouldn't have fallen into this trap!"
Xiao Yan struggled to get up from the ground and said with a bitter smile: "I saw the vines move and wanted to save Master Jiang Feng. I didn't expect it to be like this..."
Jiang Zhiling was still staring at Xiao Yan angrily, wishing she could kill him with her eyes.
Jiang Zhi advised, "Miss Zhiling, Senior Brother Xiao meant well. He didn't expect this to happen. It's useless to hold him responsible now. The most urgent thing is to quickly clear away these vines and rescue Senior Sister Jiang."
"snort!"
Jiang Zhiling stared at Xiao Yan and warned, "You'd better pray that Sister is okay, otherwise I will not let you go!"
After saying that, Jiang Zhiling turned around and joined the army clearing the vines.
But these vines grew so hard that no one knew how they did it. Even with Jiang Zhiling's strength, she couldn't hurt them at all.
But Jiang Zhiling was not discouraged and continued to persevere in chopping the vines that blocked the cave entrance.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him anymore, the smile on Xiao Yan's face disappeared. He pulled out the hand behind his back, and there was a drop of blood on the back of his hand.
Could it be the blood left behind when Jiang Deng was scratched by the vines just now?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan excitedly wrapped the drop of blood with his spiritual power, sent it into his dantian, and transmitted the message to the demon seed.
"This is Jiang Deng's blood. Try it and see if she is the one you are looking for."
"I've already said it's not true, but you still don't believe it..."
The demon yawned in boredom.
Unable to resist Xiao Yan's pleading, it swallowed the drop of blood with the idea of giving it a try, but it spat it out the next second.
"Bah! It's so smelly and fishy! This is clearly the blood of a demon cultivator. Are you deliberately teasing me?"
Xiao Yan: “…”
Failed again.
It doesn’t matter. This Soul-Calming Tower has four floors, and this is only the first floor. I believe that next time, he will have a chance to get Jiang Deng’s blood!
——
The other side.
Jiang Deng stepped on the wall, did a neat backflip, and landed safely.
Where is this?
Fortunately, the lighting talisman also came down with her. Jiang Deng looked around and took in everything around her.
This is an underground space with dark walls on all four sides. The whole place is damp and dark, and there is an indescribable strange smell.
“Hmm…”
Just as Jiang Deng was wondering, a cry of pain came from not far away.
