Chapter 424 Intimidating Changxi and Bringing the Army to the City Gates
The Porcelain Tower.
Wang Yu channeled his divine sense into his natal magic weapon, transforming it into a mental body. At its core, two nascent souls were still imprisoned. These two things could only be perfectly utilized once the human alchemy technique reached the fourth level of perfection.
However, the placement options are not enough, and currently his main focus of practice is on the meaning of the Dharma.
Even if the two nascent souls are refined into nascent soul pills that can enhance cultivation, the improvement is actually limited. He is currently accumulating demonic energy at a fast pace.
Comprehend the meaning of the Dharma, strengthen the understanding of the Dharma, and grow the nascent soul.
Only in this way can the strength of the Nascent Soul keep up when the Demonic Essence is advancing rapidly, so as not to encounter too difficult bottlenecks.
After a thorough inspection, it was confirmed that there were no oversights.
This divine incarnation finally stepped onto the top floor of the Glazed Pagoda.
Wearing a moon-white gauze dress, with her limbs stretched out by black ice chains and suspended in mid-air in a spread-eagle position, was none other than the Moon Fairy Changxi.
Wang Yu strolled over, his eyes sweeping across her face.
Changxi is a typical fair-skinned beauty.
With narrow, sharp eyes and a cold, icy demeanor, she exudes an aura of conquest. Her pure white eyelashes add to her serene and holy aura.
Compared to nearly a hundred years ago, her temperament has changed quite a bit.
Two long, slender legs were torn apart by ice chains, and the pose ruined the overall atmosphere. Imprisonment... With such absurd elements added, the allure only increased.
As Wang Yu approached Chang Xi, he looked up and examined her.
He chuckled softly.
How are you feeling?
"Kill me or torture me as you please, Demon Lord, why must you humiliate me?"
Changxi's eyes were clear and bright, but her words were neither humble nor arrogant.
Stop pretending.
Wang Yu stood with his hands behind his back and snorted coldly.
"Back when I was establishing my foundation in the Black Mountain Demon Realm, I had no grudge against your Sword Sect. Yet Lan Boting relentlessly pursued me, determined to kill me. What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for now?"
Changxi remained silent.
It's pointless to discuss right and wrong now, and her bottom line has been lowering ever since then.
The Sword Sect's mission is to quell all injustices in Taihu Lake.
Black Mountain Pass was terribly corrupt at that time. If she wanted to get rid of it, she could only use Wang Yu as bait, both as a witness and as bait to lure those parasites into taking action.
The perpetrators and the stolen goods will be caught red-handed.
Then we can take advantage of the Sword Sect's power and eliminate them as quickly as possible.
During the process, Wang Yu became a victim, especially after she investigated the disappearance case in Shihu City. At that time, Wang Yu kidnapped Wang Wu and was at the height of his activity. He also killed the slave-catching team and the lord of Shihu City to avenge his blood feud.
She actually discovered Wang Yu's background through investigation.
Even under these circumstances, he was still made a victim, and through careful planning, he was forced to the city of withered leaves.
That's when their feud began.
Wang Yu's aversion to the righteous path was a lingering problem from that time, and even today, many years later, it remains fresh in his memory.
If he hadn't met Changxi, it would have been a good choice for him to stay in Taihu Lake to cultivate after using the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Curse to devour Wang Wu, instead of returning to Chiyuan and asking for trouble.
Changxi is a top-ranked disciple of the Sword Sect, yet she acts in this way, which shows what kind of people the Sword Sect really are.
On the other hand, another person he came into contact with, Lei Yao, a disciple of Lei Huo Guan, remained kind to him after receiving a single piece of advice and was even willing to help him years later.
If he had met Lei Yao on his first trip back to Taihu Lake, Wang Yu was certain that he would have joined the Lei Huo Temple for cultivation, leading a completely different life.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Wang Yu made his decision in an instant.
The ice chains loosened considerably, causing Changxi to collapse weakly to the ground. This was the interior space of the Glazed Pagoda, his natal magic weapon.
He refined all the equipment he had acquired over many years of alchemy among the demons of the North, and as long as the attributes were suitable, he put them all into this tower, causing his two original attributes, ice and yin, to surge.
The sealing power of tower-type magical artifacts has increased even more dramatically.
With her internal magical power depleted and her limbs weak, Changxi couldn't escape the seal of the Glazed Pagoda, and she couldn't even use the communication jade talisman. Her golden core was dim and lifeless, making it difficult for her to resist.
Wang Yu bent down and squatted down, pinching Changxi's chin.
They looked at each other.
"I have the punishments of insect bites, soul burning, lust... and swords. Which one would you like to choose? Let's have some fun."
Torture has always been a specialty of the demonic path.
Changxi's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with deathly stillness. Having been captured alive by a Nascent Soul demon cultivator, even suicide was a luxury. If it weren't for the bounty offered by the sect, she would have been completely defeated.
She might not come to Heishan Pass. Regret lingered in her heart, a complex mix of feelings towards people, events, and herself.
"Not going to talk? If you're not going to talk, then we'll start with slow slicing. Your skin is so delicate, it would be a waste to skin you alive."
The sharp blade slid across her skin, and Changxi couldn't help but scream, only to find that it was merely the cold sensation from the blade, not excruciating pain.
Wang Yu immediately laughed: "You're not as carefree as you seem..."
After being intimidated, some of the anger in my heart dissipated.
Wang Yu recalled his bold idea when he came in. Since obtaining the [Human Desire Method], he regarded it as a useless skill. Although he had studied and mastered it, he had not put it in the storage space for in-depth research.
He recalled the Black Ryu he had encountered in the territory of the Demon Cat Clan.
She was only at the third level, yet she was able to temporarily transform herself using an ancient treasure and have an affair with the golden scales. Doesn't that solve the flaw of the Human Desire Law?
He thought Changxi's physical body was quite good, and if he could refine a similar flesh and blood magic weapon, and further utilize the Snow Jade...
The idea was too bold and involved many problems.
Whether it can be achieved is still unknown, so the idea remains only in his mind. Putting it into practice would be too perverse and somewhat distort human nature.
"You got off easy."
As demonic energy gathered, Wang Yu reached out and covered Chang Xi's neck. Just as his power was about to be unleashed, his divine consciousness avatar disappeared, clearly disturbed by external circumstances.
Changxi was once again suspended by ice chains, her pale face slightly relieved, and she let out a long sigh.
She was a prodigy, ranking eighteenth out of 1,008 in the Sword Sect. Had she not been defeated by the Twelve Sword Masters at the Sword Debate Cliff, she would have been capable of vying for the position of Sword Master.
Her master's teachings came to mind.
Temporary victories and defeats are fleeting; only those who survive have a future.
--endure!
“Master…he seems to have some designs on me. I will endure this humiliation and live on.”
As for placing her hopes of rescue on others, Changxi felt the possibility was too small. She thought it was better to assume that Wang Yu had died in the war, and that he was just a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator.
This is quite possible, especially given his arrogant and conceited nature. With his fighting style, he will inevitably capsize in the battle between good and evil sooner or later.
outside world.
Wang Yu frowned and looked at the entrance of the temporary cave. The Nether Demon Barbarian Lord and the Nether Tiger Demon Lord had both arrived, which meant that the sect had probably sent a reply.
With a wave of his hand, he removed the protective barrier at the entrance, and the stone door opened wide.
"What's up?"
"The Holy Sect's reinforcements have arrived. The Evil Soul Ancestor's intention is for us to immediately attack Kuye City to resist the reinforcements from Wangyue Palace and Biyun Sect."
"It is said that a team has disappeared over the Binghe Pass in the north. They may have gone south to support Heishan Pass or launched a surprise attack on Qifeng Pass."
The two of them explained the situation clearly in turn.
"Oh? Where are the reinforcements, and from where are they coming?"
"We took the road through Qifeng Pass, with the Fire Demon Old Demon leading the team."
Fire Demon?
This person was not a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nine Peaks. Wang Yu was unaware of this person's existence, and he had not heard of such a person at the last Nascent Soul high-level council of the Holy Sect.
I could see his confusion.
"The Demon King explained."
"He is the patriarch of the Zhuo family, a figure from 1,300 years ago, with the strength of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and his potential has been exhausted."
Wang Yu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked.
"What do you think? Should we fight or not?"
"Dark Tiger laughed."
"Fight! Why wouldn't we fight!"
"After three major achievements, we will receive three fourth-grade spirit pills from the Alchemy Hall. That should be enough to give it a try. We can have the Fire Demon Old Demon lead the charge."
"Alright."
Having just forged a Blood and Flesh Demon Sword, Wang Yu wanted to test its sharpness. He figured he could test it out in Withered Leaf City, as this was a key city on the front lines and likely housed more than one Nascent Soul cultivator.
"In that case, let's set off."
…………
…………
The place where Wang Yu and his group were hiding was deep in the Dry Leaf Swamp, and Dry Leaf City, as a city built to explore this demonic land, was not far from the swamp.
I went with my two colleagues to see that old fire demon.
He brought a considerable number of people: three thousand Qi Refining cultivators, three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and thirty Core Formation cultivators, plus fifty-four men under Wang Yu and others.
This team is definitely strong enough.
As for the Fire Demon, perhaps his cultivation method went wrong, and his appearance is rather indescribable, even more abstract than the ugly-handsome style of the Nether Demon Barbarian King.
He had sparse red hair, but it was a Mediterranean hairstyle.
His face was old and his body was hunched. His face was covered with fire spots, and his lips were turned outward, revealing a mouthful of black teeth that were as black and dull as charcoal.
My breath smelled strongly of gunpowder, as if a furnace was burning inside me, expelling waste gas.
No wonder it's called the Fire Demon; it certainly does look ghostly.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fire Ghost."
"No need for formalities. I am here as reinforcements. Command remains in your hands. Fellow Daoist Youmo, you shall make the decision."
"this……"
The Demon King hesitated for a moment, then quickly spoke.
"Alright, this place isn't far from Kuye City, how about a direct assault? We'll leave the formation to Brother Minghu."
"No problem."
Speed is of the essence in warfare, and blitzkrieg places even greater emphasis on speed.
A delay of half a month can easily lead to unforeseen changes, after all, the time that the Sword Sect team was intercepted was too long ago, and the same plan may not be the same in a different time.
But Wang Yu didn't step forward; let them fight if they want.
Could there be any powerful cultivators present?
After the team assembled, they quickly traversed the fractured mountain range along the newly opened safety passage.
Fallen Leaf City!
The annihilation of the Sword Sect's support team at Black Mountain Pass half a month ago has raised alarms in major cities along the border, especially given the disappearance of two Nascent Soul cultivators.
This made the Biyun Sect team, which was preparing to launch a surprise attack on Qifeng Pass, temporarily hold back, naturally to guard against the Chiyuan interception team.
Based on existing intelligence, the Taihu faction generally believes that this is a small but powerful team, possibly led by a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to silently devour the Ma Yi Ancestor's team without even the nearby Black Mountain Pass noticing, putting immense pressure on them.
Therefore.
The two major cities closest to the incident site, Fallen Leaf City and Black Mountain City, have become the top priorities for protection, given the vast areas affected by their radiation.
Currently, Kuye City only has one Nascent Soul early stage cultivator from Wangyue Palace and one Nascent Soul mid stage cultivator from Biyun Sect, the latter being a temporary garrison.
In this situation, it is natural to call for support.
"I wonder who the Sword Sect will send. If we can't bring out this team of hidden experts, the situation on the front lines will be dire."
"Fellow Daoist Liuying, there is no need to worry. The Crimson Kite Demon Cultivators are a bunch of chickens and dogs, and they have always been no match for us. As for the defense of the city, my Biyun Sect has already intervened, and it will definitely be flawless."
Inside the mansion of the Lord of Kuye City, a beautiful woman in green robes and a middle-aged cultivator sat facing each other, drinking tea and discussing current affairs. The latter was full of confidence, while the former was full of worries.
The fact that Bagua and Ma Yi's soul lamps were not extinguished proves that their nascent souls are still alive. If they were to perish, it would be the first time in this war between the righteous and the demonic that a nascent soul from Taihu Lake would die.
He was also the master of one of the peaks of the Sword Sect, wielding far-reaching influence.
This would also mean that the flames of war would spread to the Nascent Soul stage, and everyone would be in danger of perishing. Not to mention that the Purple Cloud True Monarch of the Azure Cloud Sect was too confident, the long period of peace also made him underestimate the ferocity of the demonic cultivators.
Five hundred years ago, during the great war between good and evil, she participated but never heard of the name of this True Monarch Ziyun. If he is just a figurehead, then Kuye is in grave danger.
Ziyun spoke eloquently, her eyes burning with affection for Liuying Nujun. Biyun and Wangyue had a long-standing habit of becoming Daoist partners, making them staunch allies who would advance and retreat together.
The battle at Binghe Pass and the chaos in Chiyuan Fengzhou were led by these two sects, and their initial success greatly boosted his confidence.
In True Monarch Ziyun's eyes, once the sect's experts join forces, they will surely be able to take Fengzhou in one fell swoop and seize this place as a nail to penetrate deep into Chiyuan.
At that time, if Thunderfire Temple, Crane Return Valley, Blazing Sun Sect... and even Void Heaven Sword Sect want to expand their gains, following the path of their Azure Cloud Sect will be the best choice.
He had even planned to set up roadblocks and collect tolls.
"—Boom!"
Just then, a loud bang was heard in the sky.
As soon as Liu Ying and Zi Yun exchanged glances, they immediately fled from the city lord's mansion and went to a high place to observe the situation outside.
All that could be seen was rolling black clouds in the sky, and boundless crimson demonic energy, like burning flames, became the most striking anomaly in the darkness.
A dark mass of people gathered in the distance, their killing intent palpable.
"It's demonic cultivators, they really have arrived."
"Why are there so many? Has the early warning system set up in the Broken Boundary Mountains been broken? There hasn't been any triggering so far..."
The cultivators of Kuye City were in an uproar. Lady Liuying quickly gave the order: "Activate the formation! Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, go to the city defenses! All Core Formation cultivators, follow me to fight!"
Upon seeing this, Ziyun closed her mouth, which she had just opened, and flew into the sky with Lady Liuying.
Within that crimson demonic aura, the Fire Demon Old Demon condensed a four-armed crimson demon form from his demonic essence, which landed atop the crimson demon's head, arrogantly looking down at the two Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the withered leaves with a disdainful expression.
The Demon Lord revealed his Nascent Soul aura, and his dark blue demonic energy surged like a reversed, flowing blue river, attracting everyone's attention.
The Nether Tiger Demon Lord rode a Nether Tiger that transformed into a thousand-meter-long Yin beast.
The gloomy atmosphere obscured the sun, and the fierce tiger's eyes stared at the purple clouds, letting out a threatening growl.
The mere presence of the Nascent Soul energy of these three individuals was enough to cause panic in the city of Kuye. Anyone who could count knew that the city lacked sufficient Nascent Soul combat power.
This means that we can only fight defensive battles.
However.
On the far right of the three demon lords, Wang Yu sat cross-legged on the Thunder Fiend Coffin, with an endless sea of thunder spreading around him. The Thunder Corpse made its debut on the stage.
However, this directly raised the combat power of the Demonic Nascent Soul cultivator to the fifth rank.
Fallen Leaf City—Danger!
This is the first update. There will be another update today, around 12 o'clock.
