Chapter 395: The Supreme Demon
Xuanyue Mountain.
The grass and trees are full of color, and the flowers are dyed with clear frost.
All the plants here are unusually lush and vigorous, with a faint glow. At a glance from a distance, they are very different from the plants outside.
This is probably the magic of this little fairyland on earth. Even a slight contamination is enough to change the local environment.
Li Chu rode on a white crane and landed on a distant peak with the woman with tied-up hair.
There is rainbow-like mist on the top of each peak of Xuanyue Mountain, which is obviously not formed naturally. It can be seen at a glance that it is the result of acquired magical powers. I think some kind of formation has been set up, making it impossible to see the appearance of the mountain peak clearly.
"The Little Yao Chi is on the Qianyu Peak, and all affairs there are managed by the Yao Chi elders. Little Taoist priest, you will later meet the elder who is in charge of Yao Chi of our generation, and she will talk to you in detail in person." said the woman with tied hair.
Li Chu nodded.
He had learned about this before coming here. In Guanghan Sect, the position of Elder Yao Chi was comparable to that of the Sect Master, and his status was even slightly higher than that of the Sect Master.
Because Xiaoyaochi can be said to be the foundation of Guanghan Sect, the person in charge of this place must be loyal enough, powerful enough, and wise enough.
call.
When the white crane crashed into the thick fog, there was a rumbling sound in my ears, as if a strong wind swept across the sky. This spiritual bird seemed to be familiar with the route and continued to move forward steadily.
He got out again in a flash.
The scenery in front of him changed immediately. Countless colorful birds, some big and some small, were flying around the sky. Many strange beasts were running and jumping below, some docile and some lively. Female disciples were walking on the road in groups of three or two, some wearing clothes, and some... wearing more clothes.
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the jade-like lake on the top of the peak in the distance. It looks like a piece of peerless jade inlaid on the peak. No wonder it is named Inlaid Jade Peak.
It is not easy to ride on the mountain road ahead. According to the rules of the underworld, it is quite disrespectful to fly directly to the door.
The woman with tied hair led Li Chu halfway and stopped to say, "I can't take you any further. Just keep walking along the stone steps and a disciple from Xiaoyaochi will come to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you." Li Chu nodded, then turned and walked forward.
The woman with tied hair did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Li Chu's handsome back, pursed her lips, and had a slightly resentful look in her eyes.
"You didn't even ask my name..." She muttered softly before turning away angrily.
As soon as I turned around, I heard Li Chu call out from behind, "Young lady, please stay."
"Hmm?" The woman with tied hair immediately smiled again and turned around.
"I haven't asked yet..." Li Chu asked, "What is the name of Elder Yao Chi... What should I address him when I meet him?"
“…”
The woman with tied hair was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Su Xin... just call me Elder Su Xin."
"Thank you." Li Chu bowed again, expressed his thanks sincerely, then turned and left again.
Wave your sleeves and not a cloud is taken away.
…
After walking another hundred steps along the stone steps and passing a gorgeous flower wall, I saw an elegant courtyard in front of me. It was previously hidden in the plants, and the roof was also covered with flowers and plants, so it was almost invisible from the sky.
And in front of the courtyard, there was actually a familiar person standing.
"Miss Biluo?" Li Chu called out.
Although I knew that she was a disciple of Guanghan Sect, but in such a huge mountain like Xuanyue Mountain, I never really thought that I would meet her here.
At this time, she was wearing the uniform attire of Guanghan Sect, which was a light blue gauze with a white lining. She was not wearing a veil, but her face was still that beautiful.
"Master Xiao Li, long time no see." Biluo nodded, paused, and then said, "You are becoming more handsome."
Li Chu smiled politely as a greeting.
Biluo also knew his temperament, so she turned around and raised her hand: "Elder Suxin is waiting for you inside, come with me."
After saying this, he pushed open the courtyard door and led the way.
Li Chu followed him and asked in a low voice: "Elder Yao Chi wants to see me, but Miss Biluo wants to help?"
"I was also chosen to practice in Xiaoyaochi last month, but I don't have such great power." Biluo smiled and said, "But... I did say some good things for you. You will know what's going on when you go in later. Whether you can take away the treasures you want depends on your ability."
But when she said this, she did not hide her approval, and that look probably meant...
I know you are capable.
When I arrived at the courtyard, in front of a pavilion covered with plants, I saw a middle-aged woman with a dignified bun sitting under the pavilion. Her skin was as white as frost and her face was expressionless. She was looking at the fish swimming in the pond indifferently.
"Elder Suxin, Taoist Xiao Li is here." Biluo stepped forward and reported with her head down.
Elder Su Xin turned around and glanced at Li Chu. There was a slight fluctuation in his calm eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Please sit down." She raised her hand and pointed to the other side of the pavilion.
Li Chu didn't say much and sat down opposite her as she said.
"Xiao Qiao, please step back first." Elder Su Xin waved to Miss Biluo again.
"Yes." Miss Biluo took the order and went out.
Soon, only Elder Su Xin and Li Chu were left in the pavilion. It was quiet for a while, with only the chirping of birds in the empty mountains.
Li Chu listened to Elder Su Xin's voice, which was similar to the warning voice he gave after knocking away the Xuanming Mirror. To be able to deal with a powerful person at the peak of Zhan Sui so easily, this elder must have a high level of cultivation among the immortals on land.
Elder Su Xin looked at Li Chu for a while, and gradually there was some curiosity in his eyes, "Xiao Qiao is right, you are indeed a little Taoist priest that is hard to see through. Even I can't see through your cultivation."
"My way of practicing is just different from that of ordinary people." Li Chu said modestly.
"What you want is the Ice Gallbladder Sacred Heart Lotus. You know, there is only one of this in my little Yao Chi, and it is extremely precious. If it is placed somewhere else in the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a holy object." Elder Su Xin said again.
"I know." Li Chu nodded.
"So if you want to get it, you must pay enough to my Guanghan Sect."
"But you can tell me."
Li Chu saw that the other party seemed to have something on his mind, so he spoke directly without further ado.
"My Guanghan Sect has recently encountered a difficult problem and needs help. If you can help, you can naturally get the Ice Gallant Sacred Heart Lotus." Elder Suxin said slowly.
"I had considered Tong Yulin before, but he belongs to Baiyujing after all, and... Biluo said that your cultivation must be better than his."
"I'm not sure, but it's probably true." Li Chu said.
"Sure, you look very confident." Elder Su Xin asked again, "Have you really killed a ghost king?"
"Hmm..." Hearing this, Li Chu thought for a moment, then asked, "Which one?"
It’s not that he meant anything else, but the main reason is that he has killed so many ghost kings, big and small, in these days... he really can’t remember clearly.
But on second thought, what Elder Suxin knew should have been told to her by Miss Biluo, and that should be the one that caused trouble in Yuhang Town in the beginning.
that is.
The weakest one.
Elder Su Xin glanced at him again. From what this kid said...has he killed more people?
Then she smiled.
"good."
…
"There is actually a covenant between our twelve sects."
"In the early years, whenever a secret realm or a great treasure was unearthed, cultivators from all sides would gather, causing bloodshed and extremely serious internal friction among the human race."
"Soon after the Heluo Dynasty was established, the imperial court took the lead and gathered the twelve immortal sects for a meeting. In the end, it was decided to divide the world into several large areas. Each different area belongs to its own immortal sect."
Now that she had recognized Li Chu, Elder Su Xin began to talk about the problems they had encountered.
Li Chu had heard a little about this convention, but he didn't know much. After all, only the Twelve Immortal Sects participated in it.
As for other small sects, they are not restricted and can compete for secret places anywhere in the world at will.
After all, on the one hand, there are too many practitioners in small sects and schools to manage. On the other hand, what good will it do to let them fight?
How can they fight for the secret realm that has been favored by the Twelve Immortal Sects?
For example, the last time Biluo went to Yuhang Town, she hid her identity and was very cautious because of the constraints of that convention and it was not easy to be so brazen.
Fortunately, the Fulong Secret Realm was not very big, so no one cared. But if there were extremely precious treasures, it would be a taboo.
"The day before yesterday, there was a strange change in the world on the northern ice field..."
Elder Su Xin continued.
She did not explain in detail. According to the Sword Sect, the abnormal change was like a sword beam falling to the ground, which instantly made a huge iceberg disappear.
The Guanghan Sect generally felt that this statement was not entirely true... or was simply nonsense.
"After the mutation, strange monsters appeared on the ice field. In the past, there were almost no living creatures surviving on the Arctic ice field, and spiritual energy was scarce, let alone monsters. So this phenomenon is extremely abnormal, and it has been spread around the world..."
"When a demon is born from the highest level, something big will happen."
"The Great Snow Mountain sent out disciples to investigate and found that an iceberg not far from the anomaly was shaken, revealing a secret gate! Those monsters escaped from that gate!"
"The secret realm unearthed in that direction is something that both Guanghan Sect and Jian Sect are qualified to compete for."
"Moreover, some of the patterns on the gate of the secret realm are consistent with some of the ancient books of my Guanghan Sect. It is very likely related to the Little Yaochi. There may even be more Yaochi fairy water inside."
Fighting for the secret realm?
Li Chu felt more confident after hearing this. He was already quite skilled in exploring secret places.
When Elder Su Xin said this, his expression suddenly became serious.
Li Chu also listened more carefully.
"When you come here, do you feel that our Guanghan Sect owns a treasure land like Xiaoyaochi, but we take it completely for ourselves, watching countless lives die without saving them, which is a bit inhumane?" she asked.
Li Chu said: "Sitting on this precious land, it is understandable that there are many difficulties."
He had indeed thought about this matter before when he was outside.
But with a little thought, you can understand the general idea.
Sure enough, Elder Su Xin said, "In the beginning, our ancestors of Guanghan Sect were compassionate and extremely enthusiastic about giving medicine to save people. As a result, more and more people came from far and wide to ask for medicine, and the precious medicine near Xiaoyaochi was almost swept away."
"Moreover... the rumors of those rare treasures began to spread in the martial arts world, and they were all sold at sky-high prices. It turned out that the precious medicines given by our ancestors were either deceived by the people who sought the medicines, or the people who sought the medicines were robbed, which caused more deaths and injuries."
"Those who came to ask for medicine cried more miserably than each other, and the sect did not have enough energy to verify the truth of everyone's words. There were even some evil people who deliberately brought dying people here, and after getting the precious medicine, they did not save them, but sold the precious medicine instead."
"Besides, even if they all really want to save people, those precious medicines are just a drop in the bucket."
"That's how we gradually stopped the outflow of precious medicines."
“But even so, the precious medicine is still decreasing. Thousands of years ago, my sect discovered that the fairy water in the Little Yaochi was gradually decreasing.”
"Reduce?" Li Chu was surprised.
So the water level in Xiaoyaochi is still counted? I have never heard of this.
"Young Taoist priest, please do not spread this matter to others." Elder Su Xin said.
"How can the water in the mortal world produce so many natural treasures in one place? It is said that the water in Xiaoyaochi is the immortal water left behind by the immortal world, which is why it has such magical effects."
"But the immortal water is limited after all. In about a thousand years, this small Yaochi will completely become an ordinary lake."
“So the secret realm that suddenly appeared this time and may be related to Little Yaochi is simply the greatest opportunity for our Guanghan Sect.” Elder Su Xin frowned and said, “We must not miss it.”
After listening to this, Li Chu felt a little puzzled.
If it is so important, why do we need to rely on outsiders? Elder Su Xin said it before she could ask. She changed the subject and showed a hint of anger.
"But no one could have imagined that this secret realm would actually..."
"Only men are allowed in."
…
After leaving Qianyu Peak, Biluo led Li Chu to another remote and quiet mountain, which was where Guanghan Sect received male guests.
It looked quite deserted. There were only a few attics on the entire hill, and it looked like no one had lived in them for a long time.
"There will be three people in total who will enter the secret realm for my Guanghan Sect, and we have only confirmed two of them now." Biluo said, "In addition to Taoist Xiao Li, there is another one who is the younger brother of my sect's Saint Qing Jianling, Qingshuijian of the Beihai Qing family."
Then, she lowered her voice and said, "That young master is a bit competitive, Taoist Xiao Li, please be careful."
"I know, thanks for the reminder." Li Chu said.
The Beihai Qing family is also a well-known family of immortal cultivation, and their ancestors have produced several powerful figures.
The Qing family and Guanghan Sect have always been on good terms, and all the girls in the family are sent to Guanghan Sect to practice since childhood, while the boys stay in the family to be trained. As a result, the girls in the Qing family are generally stronger than the boys.
This generation's Qing Jianling was particularly talented and became the Saint of Guanghan Sect. As for Qingshuijian, she was not well-known.
Miss Biluo sent Li Chu to the door of the attic, then stopped there and said, "Then I will send you here. If Taoist Master Li has any questions..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a sneer from the side.
"Haha, have you found another one to make up the numbers?"
The tone was frivolous and sarcastic.
Li Chu looked over and saw a handsome young man dressed in formal attire sitting on the second-floor balcony of the attic next door, with one leg dangling in the air and a sword in his arms.
Before Li Chu could say anything, Biluo had already given up. She stepped forward and said, "Master Qing, Taoist Priest Li was also invited by Guanghan Sect to help. You two will go down to the secret realm together and fight side by side, so please show some respect."
"I told you I can do it alone, but my sister won't allow me to do it." The young man said lazily, "If you want to fight alongside me, you have to be qualified."
As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he pointed his right hand upwards, shouting, "Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"
With a clang, the sword in his arms came out of its sheath and rose into the air like a swimming dragon, instantly transforming into thousands of rays of light and shadows that covered the sky and the sun!
As his fingers turned, the thousands of sword shadows spun and moved in the air, forming various arrays, full of murderous intent! Finally, he lightly raised it.
Countless swords pointed downwards, pointing straight to the mountain peak! It was like a line of brave soldiers, ready to surround and kill at any time! "Master Qing, I know that you have practiced the Ten Thousand Swords Technique to the peak and can evolve into ten thousand sword shadows, but please don't be too presumptuous." Biluo frowned and said.
“Humph, you arrogant Guanghan Sect finally came to me for help, and you still don’t allow me to be presumptuous? Besides, I’m not targeting your disciples.”
After saying that, he raised his head towards Li Chu, his eyes seemed to be both protesting and provocative.
"If you want to participate in this event, you need at least this much strength..."
“Can you?
Li Chu frowned.
On the one hand, I didn't quite understand why he targeted me right away.
On the other hand, I am also a little curious.
"So..." He whispered, "The pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Swords Technique is to evolve ten thousand sword shadows?"
"Haha." Qing Shuijian shook his head and laughed, "Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? You haven't even seen the peak of the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, have you?"
"I've indeed never seen it." Li Chu nodded.
"But...I know a little bit."
Although he was a gentle and easy-going person, he also knew that the other party was deliberately provoking him for some unknown purpose. If he could not suppress the other party, he was afraid that similar things would happen again in the future.
So, Li Chu also raised two fingers and shouted softly: "Ten Thousand Swords Technique."
call out--
The Chunyang Sword rose into the sky like a red dragon.
boom--
The moment the sword shadow evolved, a shocking roar was emitted!
Sky.
Suddenly it got dark.
The earth turned red.
The air suddenly became scorching hot...
"Is it okay?"
After a moment, Li Chu looked at the Qingshui Sword indifferently.
The other person was looking up at the sky, his lips moving constantly, as if he was afraid, or as if he was counting...
Hearing Li Chu's words, he suddenly started, then looked at Li Chu straight in the eye and actually smiled again.
"Ha ha……"
"I was just kidding you."
"elder brother."
