Chapter 666: Butterfly Slave (33)
Wen Wan took the invisibility pill, then took Chen Han's compass and headed towards the place where the demonic energy was most concentrated. Gu Liuyun didn't expect Wen Wan to do this. "Aren't you afraid?" After all, this junior sister was the most timid and afraid of death. She couldn't endure hardship, didn't take cultivation seriously, and often cheated.
"How could I not be scared? You have to understand how I feel. I'm terrified, but what can we do? If there really is a Demon King-level being as we suspect, are we all going to go in and die? It's better for me to go and gather information first. And even if something unexpected happens, you're still here, right? You'll definitely be able to get me out of here."
Gu Liuyun was surprised that Wen Wan trusted him so much.
"I hope it's just a demon general, otherwise my legs will go weak. Senior Brother Liuyun, you have to keep a close eye on things, otherwise I won't be able to get back, and you'll be bored to death on Tianji Peak. Besides, we've already started our partnership, so if I die, you'll suffer a lot too."
Gu Liuyun: "..."
This cunning junior sister.
Well, he couldn't bear to watch the other person really get into danger, and for some reason, he even started to feel glad that he had come along.
The closer Wen Wan got, the more terrifying the aura became.
Xin Lai transformed into a bracelet and wrapped it around Wen Wan's wrist. "Sister, this aura doesn't feel like that of a demon general."
Xin Lai had spent so long in the Abyss of All Evil, and naturally there were many demon generals, even demon kings, and one demon lord. Therefore, he was extremely familiar with the aura of the demon race.
Soon Wen Wan met the demons.
Then, bypassing the demons, they ventured deeper and deeper, and suddenly smelled a very fragrant aroma, even feeling as if their skin was about to peel back.
"Is this the taste of the Wood Spirit Fruit?"
Gu Liuyun: "It should be, but it probably isn't ripe yet. Otherwise, the demons would have picked them and run away long ago. They wouldn't have lingered here and captured so many people."
The closer they got, the stronger the aroma became, and even Wen Wan felt a little hungry.
Soon Wen Wan saw the Wood Spirit Fruit Tree, and there were indeed three Wood Spirit Fruits hanging on the tree.
"The Wood Spirit Fruit Tree does not emit a scent before the fruit is ripe. It only releases a strong aroma when the fruit is almost ripe, which is when the demons covet it."
Otherwise, how could there still be a complete Wood Spirit Fruit Tree in this small courtyard?
The homeowner might not even know there's this deadly thing in their yard, treating it just like an ordinary tree.
Under the Wood Spirit Fruit Tree stood several demons.
The leader didn't even show his face, but his aura was terrifying.
"A demon king, and among demon kings, he's not low-ranking."
The aura surrounding them belonged to demon generals; there were five demon generals in total, along with countless demon soldiers.
"My lord, news of the Wood Spirit Fruit has already spread, and I'm afraid many cultivators will arrive soon."
"If you come, consider yourself nourishment for the ripening of the Wood Spirit Immortal Fruit. Otherwise, why do you think I'm waiting here?"
"This Wood Spirit Fruit will take at least another month to ripen, but there is another way: to water it with the essence of cultivators. This can shorten its growth cycle and also transform its aura. The more fearful and terrified the cultivators are, the more their aura will be absorbed into the Wood Spirit Fruit, making it more suitable for our demonic physique. The Demon Lord's birthday is approaching, and I must obtain this Wood Spirit Fruit."
So that's what they were planning.
This is incredibly smart; it even knows that what suits one's constitution is best. It's just too smart.
"One demon king and five demon generals, we are no match for them. We should contact the elders instead."
Wen Wan then prepared to leave.
I don't plan to stay any longer.
"etc."
Wen Wan's heart tightened instantly, and she didn't even dare to move. Could it be that she had sensed something?
"What's wrong, sir?"
The Demon King's eyes swept across the entire area, but he found nothing. "I need to completely seal this place off first. Something doesn't feel right to me."
Wen Yan: "..."
This works?
Gu Liuyun: "It's the compass in your hand. Your pills can shield your aura, but the compass is, after all, a spiritual artifact."
Wen Wan: This works too?
Wen Wan quickly put the compass into her storage bag, completely isolating it from any aura.
Then he quietly left, but he didn't dare to be arrogant, saying, "System, you have to guarantee my safe exit."
System: [Don't worry, host, I don't want you stuck here.]
Wen Yan: "..."
That doesn't sound very pleasant.
After leaving safely, Wen Wan quickly went to find Chen Han and the others, saying, "Let's go quickly."
Chen Han: "What happened?"
Wen Wan explained the situation in a few words. Upon learning that a demon king actually existed, Chen Han decisively said, "Let's leave this place first, and then contact the elders."
The group quickly moved towards the town entrance, and as more and more cultivators approached, Wen Wan's heart pounded wildly.
Isn't this just sending them to their deaths?
Wen Wan quickly said that some people believed her, but most people did not. They might have believed her, but they still wanted to try their luck. Maybe they could really get the Wood Spirit Fruit, which would be a top-notch gift of good fortune.
It's hard to reason with a damned devil.
Wen Wan and the others even sped up their run, but the moment they left Chiang Rai town, the entire town was blocked by a barrier.
Wen Yan: "???"
How could a demon do something like this? Are they really brainless? Or are they just incredibly smart?
"what to do?"
Lu Ping quickly crushed the jade tablet, but the message was blocked by the barrier.
"Oh no, the distress message can't be sent out."
Wen Wan: Is it really that unlucky?
Wen Wan saw the people guarding the town entrance before she arrived and quickly shouted, "Quickly contact the city lord and break this barrier!"
The other party smiled, and then unleashed a burst of demonic energy, leaving everyone stunned.
This is actually a demon.
The next second, a terrifying aura pressed down on everyone. Wen Wan turned around and saw the demon king who had suddenly appeared. Everyone was scared half to death, especially those who rushed in at the beginning. They were probably all captured. Anyway, a thick smell of blood filled the air.
This is bad.
They were surrounded so quickly, and it was all done through inside and outside cooperation. Sure enough, it wasn't just me who knew how to conceal my aura; the demons also had many tricks up their sleeves. They also knew how to conceal their aura and disguised themselves as people from the city lord's mansion. They released this information to lure more cultivators to come and seize the treasure, so that they could use their essence blood to irrigate the Wood Spirit Immortal Fruit.
Fortunately, there was Gu Liuyun.
"Senior Brother Liuyun, you should go and contact someone right away. If it's not feasible for me, it might be possible for you."
Gu Liuyun: "Mm."
Wen Wan was relieved for the umpteenth time that she actually had this connection with the male lead, otherwise she would have been doomed.
"Hahahaha, since you're here, stay now. Don't even think about leaving."
The Demon King gestured to his demon generals, and several of them led their men to charge forward, and war was about to break out.
The monks quickly began to resist.
To be honest, the fight was quite intense. After all, Chen Han and Lu Ping were both at the Spirit King stage, the kind who could trade one-for-one with a demon general. There were also two other Spirit Kings present who could put up a fight. Although the others were not at the Spirit King stage, they were not without any power to fight back against those demon soldiers.
However, the Demon King was causing trouble from behind, and every now and then, with a wave of his hand, he could inflict heavy damage on their side.
Wow.
This is simply a lack of martial ethics.
Wen Wan, wielding her sword, slashed down a superior-grade demonic soldier. "System, think of something."
Wen Wan: [Try the Floating Pagoda Sound Bell; it's the nemesis of demons.]
Wen Wan quickly found the Qingyin Bell and activated it. Sure enough, as soon as the sound waves from the Qingyin Bell were emitted, a group of demon soldiers vanished.
Wen Wan: Is it that easy to use?
Wen Wan's confidence suddenly surged. "Come on! This grandma wants your demonic lives. You really think I'm easy to bully?"
"The Floating Pagoda Clear Sound Bell, isn't that that old ghost Qiancheng's? How come it's in your hands? You're a disciple of the Tianli Sect." That demon king actually knows his stuff.
Wen Wan: "You know that's good. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise even if you do, you won't get any benefit."
“If it were that old ghost Qiancheng who used the Qingyin Bell, I would naturally leave. But a little devil like you is not capable of using it. You might as well hand it over to me, and I will spare your life.”
Wen Wan: "Then you should give it a try."
Wen Wan began frantically activating the Qingyin Bell, and the demon general attacked, almost causing Wen Wan to kneel down on the spot.
It's really too weak.
"Junior Sister—"
"Senior brother, help me stabilize, I don't have enough spiritual power."
Chen Han quickly cut down the demon general, then swiftly moved behind Wen Wan and transferred spiritual power to her. Chu Yao and Lin Sheng also quickly arrived, and the sound waves from the Qingyin Bell swiftly blocked the demon generals, while Senior Sister Lu Ping rapidly eliminated the demon soldiers.
The Demon King seemed to be enraged.
Then he swiftly attacked Wen Wan, saying, "You insignificant ant, how dare you be so presumptuous before me!"
After just one attack, Wen Wan felt completely unwell.
If you don't come back soon, they're really going to die.
Wen Wan quickly opened her storage bag, took out a bottle of Spirit Restoration Pills, and swallowed the whole bottle.
Then I threw a few bottles to my senior classmates.
Chen Han and the others didn't even have time to ask where the pill came from before they quickly ate it and began to recover.
Wen Wan looked at the other cultivators and said, "If you don't want to die, you'd better help me increase my spiritual power, otherwise you won't be able to defeat me."
The others weren't stupid either, and they naturally knew that the only thing that could resist the Demon King was the Floating Pagoda Sound Bell. If even the Floating Pagoda Sound Bell failed, they would be no match for the Demon King.
So he decisively joined the ranks of those who were channeling spiritual energy into Wen Wan.
Those who remained were there to eliminate any remaining evil soldiers.
Wen Wan took out more than a dozen bottles of Spirit Restoration Pills. "Each pill costs ten mid-grade spirit stones. If you manage to leave alive, remember to settle the bill."
At this crucial moment, Wen Wan surprisingly didn't want to lose money.
Even the system was convinced.
This is normal, since it's something their own host can do, so naturally no one objects. In fact, they are amazed that this is indeed the Tianli Sect, able to produce so many Fuling Pills in one go. These pills are not ordinary pills, but fourth-grade pills, which are in high demand outside.
The Demon King was furious when he saw this.
So he intensified his attack, and Wen Wan felt as if her internal organs were about to be crushed.
While taking drugs and resisting, she had never felt so important, nor had she ever stood in such an important position. If she retreated, everyone here would die. Although she was not a saint, she could not bear to watch so many people perish. The will she generated in that instant even amazed Wen Wan herself.
