Black Sand Lake.
"You're saying that sending out a distress talisman will really attract fellow disciples from the Xuanling Sect?" a demonic cultivator asked.
"Other sects probably won't pay attention to the distress talisman, but the Xuanling Sect, hehe, will definitely have fellow disciples coming!"
"I have no interest in any other Xuanling Sect cultivators. As long as Su Qing comes, I'll let her obediently let me kill her, that's enough." The demonic cultivator laughed loudly.
These two demonic cultivators, like the little witch, were aware of the kill order issued by the Demon Realm.
In their eyes, he was just a Core Formation cultivator from the Xuanling Sect, and killing him would be a piece of cake.
The life of a lowly cultivator can be exchanged for the position of a protector in the Demon Realm—it's an incredibly worthwhile deal!
"The little witch has always wanted to go to the Demon Realm, I just hope she doesn't get there first."
"Hmph, if that little witch kills someone, I'll kill her too! Alright, let's not talk about that little witch anymore, that kind of woman makes me want to vomit just thinking about her."
"Hahaha! Weren't you once bewitched by her charms? Your eyes were practically sparkling with hearts back then."
"That's because you don't know her true nature. She actually abandoned her human form and completely degenerated into a demon!"
"..."
These two demonic cultivators have always been stationed at Black Sand Lake. Anyone who wants to temper the Yin-Yang Banner at Black Sand Lake must obtain their permission. It can be said that they are two people with status among demonic cultivators.
They became demonic cultivators very early on, and initially they did things like slaughtering villages and intercepting cultivators. However, after their cultivation improved and they occupied Black Sand Lake, they stopped doing things that they considered to be the work of low-level demonic cultivators.
They now rely on hunting down demonic cultivators who come to Black Sand Lake to improve their cultivation!
That's right. If they don't like a demonic cultivator, they just kill him, drain him dry, and steal his vengeful spirit. That's what they do.
Black Sand Lake is an inland lake surrounded by black sand, and the water of Black Sand Lake appears dark due to the blackness of the surrounding area.
Two demonic cultivators sat leisurely on rattan chairs by the lake, while five cultivators lay sprawled on the ground.
These were all cultivators wearing Xuanling Sect robes; one was at the Nascent Soul stage, and four were at the Core Formation stage.
That Nascent Soul stage cultivator was Protector Jiang!
The three guardians received a notice from the sect leader instructing the Xuanling Sect disciples to withdraw from the upcoming sect competition. The three guardians acted swiftly and hurriedly spread the news of the withdrawal.
When the message was being sent, the three guardians discovered that quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in the Gobi Desert had disappeared. Left with no other option, they had to make the trip themselves.
Protector Jiang discovered a battle between his fellow disciples and demonic cultivators near Black Sand Lake. He joined the fight, but was ambushed by the demonic cultivators.
Not only did Protector Jiang fail to save his fellow disciples, but the demonic cultivators also obtained his communication talisman.
The demonic cultivators released a communication talisman in order to lure their fellow disciples from the Xuanling Sect to their deaths, especially to entice Su Qing!
"Don't come! Don't come! None of you should come!"
Within Jiang Hufa's sea of consciousness, a tiny consciousness huddled in a corner, hugging its knees and muttering incessantly.
Jiang, the Protector, had already entered a state of self-protection; that's right, he was faking his death.
Even Jiang's closest relatives didn't know that after defeating his inner demons in the Nascent Soul stage, the innate skill he awakened was actually feigning death!
That's right. In Protector Jiang's sea of consciousness, there was a tiny consciousness. This consciousness was very small, and after Protector Jiang was "killed," this tiny consciousness slowly grew.
Once the consciousness grows up, it will be able to revive Protector Jiang!
Of course, if Protector Jiang's body is damaged, his consciousness will need to repair it, which would take even longer to revive him.
At this moment, the little consciousness had been activated, but because the communication talisman had been used by the demonic cultivator, this consciousness was restless and only concerned with blaming itself.
The sunset over the Gobi Desert is beautiful, but the sunset over Black Sand Lake is even more beautiful.
In the orange sky tinged by the setting sun, the sun slowly sank into the dark horizon.
The two demonic cultivators were delighted by the sight of the setting sun, which resembled the fall of humans into demonic possession.
"The communication talismans have been released for a while now. Why haven't the Xuanling Sect members arrived yet?"
After watching the sunset, the entire Gobi Desert was plunged into darkness, especially Black Sand Lake, which was pitch black all around, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"Just wait, they'll come," another demonic cultivator said.
At this moment, a blood moon appeared in the sky above Black Sand Lake.
The blood moon illuminated the entire Black Sand Lake, shrouding it in a thick, impenetrable layer of demonic energy.
Countless ruthless and insane demonic cultivators have fallen here, and the demonic energy they released has made this place a sacred ground for demonic cultivation.
A hundred miles away from Black Sand Lake, Su Qing and her group had already arrived outside the area shrouded in demonic energy.
"Heavens, that's demonic energy?" Chu Yuncheng stared in shock at the black demonic energy shrouding the area not far away.
“That’s Black Sand Lake,” Shui Qingchen said.
“The demons here must be extremely powerful,” Qiu Feiyang continued.
Su Qing narrowed her eyes. It had been a long time since she'd seen Black Sand Lake.
Shi Yan, Mo Qian, from this day forward, you shall disappear from this world.
Seemingly sensing Su Qing's killing intent, the two demonic cultivators sitting in the rattan chairs felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but sneeze.
"The nights at Black Sand Lake are still so cold," Shi Yan sniffed and couldn't help but remark.
Mo Qian snorted coldly and said, "If the disciples of Xuanling Sect don't come soon, I'm going back to cultivate."
Suddenly, Shi Yan listened intently for a moment, then grinned and said, "Hehe, don't be in such a hurry, someone has already come in."
The demonic energy is the barrier of Black Sand Lake; Shi Yan can sense it as soon as he enters this dense demonic energy.
"Ten people, hehe, quite a few have come."
“They wouldn’t dare come alone, would they?” Mo Qian sneered.
"That's right, we're going to go all out this time. Tsk tsk, there are several female cultivators, I just wonder if Su Qing is among them."
Su Qing and the others had already entered the demonic energy.
Among the group, only Chu Yuncheng and Luo Shenmeng seemed a little nervous.
This was the first time they had ever seen such an intense, almost overwhelming, demonic aura.
The members of their team had all withdrawn from the sect competition and left the Gobi Desert. In fact, the two of them had also considered quitting, but in the end, they decided to stay.
Only through battle can one improve their cultivation. If they back down this time, they may never have the courage to face dangerous battles again, and they will find it difficult to improve their cultivation.
How can you know where your potential lies if you don't push yourself?
When they decided to stay, Su Qing gave each of them a small jar of pills.
Upon opening it, they were shocked to find that it was a seventh-grade elixir, the Five Elements Primordial Elixir. There were over a hundred of them in the small jar.
"Use these pills for now." Su Qing's casual remark almost brought tears to their eyes.
Fortunately, I chose to stay; otherwise, the loss would have been enormous.
This is a Grade 7 Five Elements Primordial Pill! With these pills, they will definitely be able to break through their bottlenecks and become Nascent Soul cultivators!
