After parting with the three gold-eating beasts, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou left first.
When they could no longer be seen, the three gold-eating beasts rushed to the edge with Fugui.
"By the way, we seem to have forgotten to ask which sect they are from." Xuan Xiao suddenly slapped his head and remembered something important.
Zhongdi and Baihe: "..."
"You never asked before?" Zhongdi was so angry at his carelessness. He always thought Xuan Xiao had asked, so he didn't ask.
Xuan Xiao smiled awkwardly, "I forgot, I really forgot. So many things happened, and we found new tribesmen, and I forgot about it for a moment. Didn't you guys remember it either?" He muttered softly at last.
Zhongdi and Baihe had originally wanted to talk to him about it, but after hearing his last sentence, they looked at each other, then instantly went berserk and beat him up.
After a moment, Xuan Xiao covered his face with bruises and swelling. This was too much. They actually joined forces to beat him up.
"Since there is no chance to ask again, wait until the cub wakes up, maybe he will know." After letting out his anger, Zhong Di said with relief.
Bai He nodded, "After all, he is the benefactor of our Gold Devouring Beast Clan. How can we not even know which sect he is from? By the way, what is his name?"
The two men looked at Xuan Xiao at the same time, their faces full of greed.
The two nodded with satisfaction, "After all, you are not hopeless. Let's go."
Xuan Xiao followed behind the two of them, complaining indignantly. After all, he knew the names of his two benefactors, but what about you? You don't even know your sect or your names. What use are you!
…
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou were unaware that the three gold-eating beasts had just had a "fierce internal conflict". They were flying all the way. If they wanted to find Lord Hou Feng and his men, they could only go in the direction with more auras, but that also meant danger.
"During this period, the atmosphere in Yizhang Ridge has suddenly become chaotic. It should be that our plan has worked. I just don't know if it will affect Master Hou Feng and the others."
Gao Han flew over the branches of each big tree, and with a light tap of his toes, he jumped onto another tree trunk dozens of meters away.
Zhongli Tingzhou was not far above his head, and the distance he could see was even farther.
"They are not three-year-old children."
Hou Wanshan and Qin Hanyi, who were not three-year-old children, avoided the chaos after receiving the tip from the gold-eating beast. As the demons gathered the people they had sent out, they hardly encountered any demons until a conflict occurred between humans and demons.
Hou Wanshan and his men rushed to the source of the riot and were shocked to find that Ning Hongtian, Ying Yangyao and their men were fighting with demons.
"What's going on?"
When did Ning Hongtian and the others become so enthusiastic? Instead of catching the gold-eating beast, they are fighting the demon here.
"There's a problem. Ning Hongtian is not such a kind person." Qin Hanyi, who knew Ning Hongtian very well, didn't believe what he saw.
"It is impossible for Ying Yangyao and the others to accompany Ning Hongtian here to kill demons. Is there any misunderstanding here?" Hou Wanshan guessed.
"Just take another look." Qin Hanyi's eyes flickered. Ning Hongtian actually went to seek death.
Ning Hongtian in the battle circle was almost going crazy. He didn't understand why the object that the Gu King sensed for the second time was still a demon, and this time it was not a small group but a large group.
Several great lord-level demons suddenly gathered together for unknown reasons, but they started fighting without saying a word, without even having time to ask about the gold-eating beast.
"It seems that the gold-devouring beast has fallen into the hands of these demons." Ying Yangyao looked at the demons opposite with cold eyes.
"It's not easy to swallow two gold-eating beasts alone." Gu Luochun's face turned pale.
He has spent so much energy and time, how could he let these monsters get away with it for nothing? The gold-eating beast must not fall into their hands.
Everybody misunderstood.
Not only did Ying Yangyao and his men mistakenly believe that the gold-devouring beast was in the hands of the demon, the demon mistakenly thought that their plan was about to be exposed, and the monarch-level demons in the rear could not even take action.
As soon as he made a move, he would definitely expose the fact that he was in Yizhangling. More importantly, he was afraid of the strong man in the dark. Just like the other party had not shown up for a long time, it was because he was not sure whether he was here or not.
"My lord, if we continue like this, our plan will most likely be exposed." Boro retreated back to the monarch.
The demon monarch had a gloomy expression on his face. "I cannot take action, and I will leave. The plan can begin now. We must ensure that no trace is left."
"Where are the two disciples of Zixiao Sect?" Boro asked unwillingly.
The demon monarch could understand his feelings, but he did not expect such a change to happen. "The disciples of Zixiao Sect will find another way someday. The most urgent thing is not to let the whole plan fail. After it is over, you will retreat."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Boro no longer thought about the Zixiao Sect's affairs. He immediately passed on the master's order, and the demons waiting in the dark immediately took action.
"Don't let me know who I am!" The demon monarch snorted coldly, and his body completely disappeared into the darkness.
In the dark, Qin Hanyi looked at the frowning Hou Wanshan and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go over and help?"
"Killing demons is the responsibility of every cultivator." Hou Wanshan said calmly.
Qin Hanyi knew this would happen. "I don't really want to. Ning Hongtian is my enemy after all. If other sects were in our shoes, I'm afraid they would choose to stand by and watch."
"That's their idea, and we have no regrets."
Qin Hanyi smiled, "I finally understand why Zixiao Sect is the largest sect in Lingtian Continent, and Jishang Sect can only be ranked second."
People who have a broad mind take the main path. He does not have the broad mind of Hou Wanshan and others, so he takes the small path.
Hou Wanshan, who felt at peace with himself, then went up with the disciples of Zixiao Sect behind him.
Perhaps it was a turn of events for the human race, because not long after they appeared, others also arrived and joined the battle.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou arrived nearby, but were just a step too slow, and saw Hou Wanshan and other Zixiao Sect disciples fighting in the melee.
"Why did Hou Wanshan join as well?" Zhongli Tingzhou said in surprise.
"I also remember the Sect Master saying that the Purple Sky Sect's target is not the gold-devouring beast. Could it be that they misunderstood?"
No matter how smart the two were, they could not have imagined that Hou Wanshan was so selfless and benevolent, just because the demons were the enemies of Lingtian Continent.
Their strength is not very high, and if they go up, they will probably be affected by the battle of strong people, so they decided to wait and see for a while.
The battle lasted from night to dawn. The rising sun first burned a few tiny holes in the darkness. When these holes gradually increased, Yizhangling woke up from its slumber.
The humans became more and more courageous as the battle went on, but the demons retreated more and more. The number of demons that died was many times greater than that of humans. The remaining demons were defeated, and the powerful ones at the back began to shout to retreat.
The demons, who had lost interest in fighting, immediately stopped attacking and retreated quickly.
Gu Luochun saw that the demon was about to leave, but there was no news from the gold-devouring beast, so he was anxious to chase after it. Suddenly he found that he was the only one moving. He turned around and saw Ning Hongtian standing there with a gloomy face, his red eyes staring at the dead overlord-level demon on the ground. He immediately returned to him.
"City Lord Ning, if we don't chase them, once these monsters leave Yizhang Ridge, it will be almost impossible for us to get the gold-devouring beast back." He said, suppressing his irritation.
Ying Yangyao, Mo Hong and others also looked at Ning Hongtian. Logically, he should be the most anxious person.
"No need to chase anymore." Ning Hongtian exhaled a breath of foul air, his face still as gloomy as ever, and a ball of black air seemed to condense on his forehead.
"Why?" Gu Luochun asked with a serious face before he could react.
Ning Hongtian did not answer, but took out a jade bottle from his body, poured a drop of green liquid from it, and dripped it on the Gu King whose body was swollen with anxiety.
After absorbing this drop of green liquid, the Gu King's body shrank back to its normal size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces suddenly darkened.
"What's going on?" Everyone stared at Ning Hongtian, wanting to ask him for an explanation. They trusted him, which was why they cooperated with him, but now there was not even a shadow of the money-eating beast.
Ning Hongtian took a breath, his face full of gloom, "We've been fooled, this demon has a strange fragrance on its body."
"This is impossible. Isn't the exotic fragrance unique to your Ningsong City? Why does this monster have exotic fragrance on its body?" Gu Luochun asked madly.
"It's not that there is a strange incense. Someone has drugged him with a strange incense. The mastermind behind it deliberately led us to fight with the demons. The gold-devouring beast has either fallen into the hands of the other party or been released."
It was not until the demon poisoned by the strange incense died that Ning Hongtian realized how wrong he was.
"Released?" Ying Yangyao's eyes involuntarily glanced at Hou Wanshan.
Among the people here, only the Zixiao Sect seemed to be uninterested in the Gold-Swallowing Beast and even obstructed them from obtaining the Gold-Swallowing Beast. They were also the only ones who were not with them throughout the whole process.
Hou Wanshan, who had no idea that the clan leader and Gao Han had just teamed up to extort eight drops of strange saliva from Ning Song City not long ago, looked frank.
"You should have encountered those two gold-eating beasts when they left Wanshou Mountain, right?" Ying Yangyao asked with a smile.
"So what if I encountered it? Am I obliged to report it to you?" Hou Wanshan asked frankly.
"Qin Hanyi, would you be so kind as to let these two money-eating beasts go?" Ning Hongtian didn't believe that Qin Hanyi had such a broad mind.
Qin Hanyi knew that he wanted to get information from him, so he smiled and said, "This city lord would like to keep them here, but he needs to have the strength to do so."
Ning Hongtian's face darkened. In fact, he also knew that it was impossible for Qin Hanyi and the others to catch the gold-eating beast. In such a short time, the most likely possibility was that they let the gold-eating beast run away.
But he spent so much on the exotic incense, and it would have been fine if the gold-devouring beast didn't get it. There was a possibility that the exotic incense could be obtained by someone else and they could be fooled. Not only did he lose his wife and his army this time, but he also encountered internal risks, which was the greatest loss.
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended upon everyone.
Everyone's expression changed.
It’s the Green Flame Mang. He hasn’t left yet!
Ning Hongtian's face turned green. In Lu Yanmang's opinion, he was the one who had deceived him and would definitely be the first one to settle the score with him.
"You guys really make it hard for me to find you." The sinister voice of Green Flame Mang came from above his head.
Everyone looked up and didn't see Green Flame Mang. They realized that he was not there. His green robe was hidden in a shadow. He didn't deliberately restrain his breath, but his breath was everywhere.
The aura of the big monster was equivalent to that of a strong cultivator in the fusion stage. Not only were the monsters nearby trembling in fear, but some weaker cultivators also had red faces due to nervousness, feeling that their bodies were about to be crushed to pieces.
Ning Hongtian really wanted Green Flame Mang not to see him, but Green Flame Mang obviously did not give him the chance. Its pair of sinister green eyes locked onto him directly.
"It's been a long time since anyone dared to play tricks on me like this. You are the first and you will be the last."
"Wait! I have something to say!" Ning Hongtian was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood up. He felt the chilling murderous intent of Green Flame Mang. The other party really wanted to kill him now.
Green Flame Mang enjoyed the struggle of the weak and decided to give him a chance to say his last words before he died. "Speak, I want to hear what else you can say before you die."
Ning Hongtian's heart went cold as he explained, "My previous perception was tampered with by someone. The other party deliberately led us to confront the demon. We were also deceived."
"So what? I don't care about that. You dare to play tricks on me, but these few words are not enough to save your life." Green Flame's murderous aura sank.
If the naked eye could see, everyone would be able to see the murderous aura of the Green Flame Mang hovering around Ning Hongtian. As long as he moved even slightly, Ning Hongtian would not be able to escape death.
Ning Hongtian was horrified. He realized that if he couldn't say something that would interest Green Flame Mang, he would really kill himself.
The Green Flame Python is only interested in the gold-eating beast.
But the gold-eating beast had disappeared without a trace. Ning Hongtian's mind was racing, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qin Hanyi out of the corner of his eye. A sinister plan instantly emerged in his mind.
"Although I don't know where the gold-eating beast is, some people know!"
The moment Qin Hanyi noticed Ning Hongtian's gaze, his eyelids twitched and he suddenly realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. In order to save his life, Ning Hongtian had already spoken it out loud.
"Who?" Green Flame's eyes narrowed.
"He knows where the gold-devouring beast is. It's at the entrance and exit of Wanshou Mountain. When the gold-devouring beast escaped, they were outside." Ning Hongtian laughed evilly. Qin Hanyi, you will eventually die indirectly in my hands.
Qin Hanyi's face suddenly darkened, Ning Hongtian, you deserve to die!
The pressure from the Green Flame Mang directly enveloped Qin Hanyi, and he narrowed his sinister eyes, "Tell me, where is the gold-devouring beast?"
Gao Han, who was hiding in the dark and saw this scene, showed a bad expression.
Ning Hongtian was indeed extremely insidious. At such a critical juncture, he was able to successfully transfer Green Flame Mang's anger to Qin Hanyi. This was troublesome because he knew that Master Hou Feng should have been with Qin Hanyi at that time.
