"What's this?"
The Yuanying monster suddenly left, and everyone was able to catch their breath. Some who needed to heal were healed, some who needed to guard were guarded. Suddenly a strong wind blew over, making their cheeks hurt.
A sudden strong wind blew across the sky, and everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky, and found that the thick clouds in the sky were split into two, and were tens of miles long.
"Looking at the direction of the clouds, it should be above the cliff. That Yuanying monster suddenly left earlier. Could something have happened up there?"
Everyone swallowed their saliva. They were really shocked and hit too hard by the Nascent Soul monster. They thought they could do whatever they wanted in the Shuangdong Secret Realm, but they didn't expect that there would be a Nascent Soul late stage monster hiding here. Many people had died before the human cultivators and the monsters really started fighting.
“Come to think of it, when I was running away, I seemed to see that the Seven Bright Nine Lights Ganoderma disappeared, right under the nose of the monster.” A disciple of the Ji Shang Sect swallowed and said.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Chai Chengyun asked harshly.
The disciple was startled and said tremblingly: "A demon was just killed by that Yuanying demon beast. I thought it was my illusion."
Chai Chengyun frowned.
"Brother, it's not his fault. After all, who would have thought that someone would dare to steal the Seven Bright Nine Lights Ganoderma under the nose of a Nascent Soul monster." If it were them, they wouldn't have the courage. After Zhang Mingyang finished explaining, he received a grateful look from the disciple.
"Monsters don't have this method. The person who stole the Seven Bright Nine Lights Zhi is most likely a demon or a disciple of other forces." Chai Chengyun said with a gloomy face.
Everyone's face changed, and Zhang Mingyang quickly said, "No way, who has such great ability to snatch things from the claws of a Yuanying monster?"
“No matter who it is, if they fight against a Yuanying demon beast, they will not have a good ending.” Chai Chengyun sneered, “Just wait and see, demon beasts are vengeful creatures, unless you are dead, otherwise it will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth.”
Hearing his words, some disciples were a little surprised. Senior Brother Chai seemed to care particularly about this matter. Someone secretly asked Zhang Mingyang privately and found out that Senior Brother Chai cared so much about the Seven Bright Nine Lights because of his master Yuanyang Zhenren.
Zhenren Yuanyang is a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. He was once the most promising spiritual practitioner in the Jishang Sect. During one of his outings, he discovered a blessed land, but was accidentally seriously injured while searching for treasure, causing damage to his foundation.
Over the years, the Ji Shang Sect has been trying every means to help him rebuild his foundation, hoping that he could break through as soon as possible and add another powerful fusion master to the Ji Shang Sect. As a result, Yuan Yang Zhenren was stuck in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and now his life is about to end. If he doesn't find a way to break through, he will die from the end of his life.
Since Chai Chengyun is a disciple of Yuanyang Zhenren, he naturally does not want his master to die. This is not only because Yuanyang Zhenren is his master, but also related to his status in the Jishang Sect.
"It turns out that the news that Master Yuanyang is about to die is true."
Some inner disciples had obviously heard about it, and now they heard it confirmed by Zhang Mingyang, and they couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Senior Brother Chai reacted so strangely. No matter who got the Seven Bright Nine Lights Ganoderma, it would not be a good thing for him. They just didn't know who was so bold as to snatch something that was right in front of the Nascent Soul Monster.
…
The cloud layer that was split into two by the sword energy was blown away by the wind, and the secret realm shrouded in dark clouds and fog finally revealed a blue sky.
Gao Han did not check on the fallen Nascent Soul monster. He immediately flew to Zhongli Tingzhou, quickly took out a bottle of spiritual liquid, and poured it into his mouth. The dry meridians were moisturized, and the Yin-Yang Bead, which was almost shattered again, was replenished with energy and finally stabilized.
"How about it, my old...wife is pretty strong, right?" Zhongli Tingzhou didn't care about his own situation at all, and looked at him with a smile on his face. At that moment, he noticed that Gao Han had a gloomy expression, and changed his words at the critical moment.
"That's right. Your cultivation has improved, and the power of the Sword of Destruction has become even greater. You must have practiced a lot in the Upper Nine Peaks before." Gao Han smiled.
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at his smile and said with a shudder in his heart, "Don't smile like that. I'm not used to it."
"Why am I laughing? Am I not like this usually?" Gao Han still spoke softly, without any sign of getting angry.
"Of course you're not like this usually. Scolding me or beating me is the norm, okay?" The more he acted like this, the more Zhongli Tingzhou couldn't stand it and he started to speak carefully.
Then Gao Han beat him up, and after the beating he clapped his hands and said, "Since you ask me to do so, I will grant your wish. Do you feel better now?"
Zhongli Tingzhou: "...I feel relieved."
Gao Han felt much more comfortable, but he did not ask Zhongli Tingzhou not to use this method next time. The sword he practiced was actually somewhat similar to Zhongli Tingzhou's swordsmanship. Both emphasized on being able to kill with one move. However, the philosophy of his previous life told him that nothing was absolute.
When the mantis stalks the cicada, there is no oriole behind it. If they want to reach the level of power of Master Zixiao, they still have a long way to go.
The two went to see where the Nascent Soul monster had fallen. It was lying bloody in a hole on the ground, with horrified fear in its eyes.
It is not dead yet, but the Sword of Destruction has the power to destroy the world. The powerful sword energy remaining in the body will destroy the opponent's meridians, which cannot be resolved by spiritual power.
The reason why it has not died yet is related to the fact that Zhongli Tingzhou has only reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation. If Zhongli Tingzhou was a cultivator in the Yuanying stage, this sword would have been enough to kill it.
No matter how powerful the Sword of Destruction is, it is impossible to kill the opponent by crossing too many realms.
Gao Han killed the monster and quickly dug out its inner elixir, leaving the rest of its body untouched. This was an ordinary Nascent Soul monster and there weren't many valuable things on its body, which was one of the reasons why Zhongli Tingzhou was able to severely injure it with one sword.
Just when he had finished digging out the monster's inner elixir, another powerful Nascent Soul pressure suddenly came from the direction of the endless forest, scaring away countless monsters.
Not long after the two of them left the place quickly, a demon beast's spiritual consciousness descended from this place forcefully and found the demon beast's corpse in the pit. The spiritual consciousness seemed to be mixed with a trace of anger, but when it carefully scanned the demon beast's corpse, it was like a frightened bird, and the spiritual consciousness was quickly withdrawn into the forest.
Back at the foot of the cliff, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou had no intention of setting foot on the land above the cliff again. The edge of the forest and mountains was the territory of a Nascent Soul monster, and there might be even more powerful monsters in the depths.
After escaping danger, they contacted Yuan Ran who was very worried.
"Uncle-master, are you all right?" As soon as the communication jade slip was connected, Yuan Ran's anxious voice came over.
Others don't know who stole the Qiming Jiuguangzhi, but he knows that this matter is most likely related to his two uncles. If he is not careful, he may lose his life.
"Can I still contact you if I have something?" Zhongli Tingzhou had just finished being cowardly by Gao Han, and he began to feel superior to his disciples.
Yuan Ran didn't care. When he heard that they were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." He then said tactfully, "By the way, Master Uncle, someone saw that Nascent Soul monster returning to the cliff. If you didn't encounter it, it's best to avoid it."
"It's too late."
Yuan Ran's breathing hitched, "What do you mean? Why do you say it's too late?"
"It means exactly what it says." Gao Han took over the conversation without explaining or letting Zhongli Tingzhou speak again. "There is a piece of land on the cliff. You'd better not come up. There are Yuanying monsters on it. If you don't actively provoke them, they probably won't come down."
"Okay, I got it. I'll tell my other brothers." Yuan Ran didn't dare to provoke the Nascent Soul monster. He was not his great uncle, and he didn't have the ability to do so.
…
Black Rock City.
"Why would a riot suddenly break out in Tiegu City out of nowhere?" Qin Changsheng couldn't help but frown when he received the information from the Zixiao Sect's spies.
If he remembered correctly, Tiegu City was one of the largest demonic forces in this Shuangdong Secret Realm training, and it was said that the only son of the Lord of Tiegu City was also among them.
Qin Changsheng felt that this matter was unusual. "Besides this, is there any other reliable information?"
"Yes, this Iron Bone City Lord seems to have ordered his men to start killing a large number of human monks, especially the disciples of the sects."
Qin Changsheng's expression changed slightly. "Could it be that something happened to the only son of this Tiegu City Lord in the Shuangdong Secret Realm? If that's the case, things will be troublesome. This Tiegu City Lord is very powerful. I can't deal with him alone. To be on the safe side, you should quickly bring the news back to the sect, and make sure to get it before the secret realm is reopened. Please ask the sect master for a decision."
"Uncle Qin, I don't understand. Even if that Saroyan died in the secret realm, he deserved it. Anyone can die in the secret realm, including the only son of the lord of a level three demon city. Could he dare to attack our human disciples?" The spy didn't understand.
"These demons dare to build a city on the demon battlefield, so you know how bold they are. If they really kill a few disciples in anger, Lingtian Continent may not be willing to go to war with the demons for the lives of a few disciples."
Especially among the major sects, there was harmony on the surface but in reality they had their own agenda, so it was impossible to reach a consensus on many issues.
At the same time, on the demon battlefield hundreds of miles away from Black Stone City, a young man and woman worked together to kill many demons who came to die.
"Big Brother, in the past few days, we have killed no less than a hundred demons. There haven't been so many in the past."
The young man's brows were grim, but at this moment he frowned and looked into the distance, "There is an ominous aura. The demon battlefield seems to be not peaceful in recent days. Don't follow me. I will send you back to Black Stone City first."
"I won't leave. I will follow you wherever you go." The young woman said stubbornly.
"Don't joke, I'm serious. I may not be able to protect you from what happens next. If something happens to you, how can I explain to my master?" The young man frowned.
"I have hands and feet, and I'm strong. I don't need your protection. I can protect myself." The young woman said nonchalantly.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, the young man simply decided not to go deeper into the demon battlefield.
