"What's the matter with Fugui's cultivation?" Gao Han noticed it as he picked him up.
When he first left them, Fugui was very weak, with only the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage. Any cultivator from the Lingtian Continent could have crushed him to death.
As a result, only a few months later, he had soared into the sky like a rocket, from the Qi Refining Stage to the Fusion Stage.
He actually reached the fusion stage one step faster than his two fathers.
"There are gifts from the demon god at the inheritance site. I guess, if it's not for repairing the space cracks, those energies should be left by the demon god for the young master. Maybe they can help him break through to the Mahayana stage in one fell swoop."
It's a pity, but not a pity. After all, if those space cracks are not repaired, the forbidden area will most likely be destroyed.
This is the inheritance of the Sky-Swallowing Beast clan. If it is destroyed, other Gold-Swallowing Beasts born in the future will no longer be able to inherit it.
The demon god should have sensed this, so the beast shadow chose to repair the space crack at the critical moment. Finally, when the energy was used up, the beast shadow collapsed directly.
"Oh, those eggs!"
Chongdi remembered this matter and walked inside with Gao Han. Soon they saw the eggs.
The remaining dozens of eggs were piled in the corner, without anything to protect them. The place of inheritance itself was a protective shell.
"Gao Han, has the life ring you mentioned before been repaired?" The three gold-eating beasts looked at Gao Han expectantly.
Gao Han put an egg into the thatched cottage in the small world. He found that the small world was so big that he could put the egg wherever he wanted.
After a while, he took out the eggs he had just collected.
"Please check if there is anything wrong with this egg."
The three gold-eating beasts immediately checked it carefully and shook their heads, "I can't see anything."
"These eggs have been left for many years. In fact, we are not sure whether they can be hatched now. The fact that the three of us were able to hatch them was the result of the life-long efforts of the elders." Zhongdi said helplessly.
Gao Han nodded and put all the eggs away.
"Don't worry, let Fugui hatch the eggs every day. As a member of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, he will definitely be happy." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile.
There was obviously nothing to complain about, but the three gold-eating beasts seemed to sense a strong sense of "malice".
"Okay, take a look here and see if there's anything else you can take away. The situation outside isn't optimistic, so we need to prepare first."
After Gao Han finished speaking, he took out the treasures that he had previously stored in the small world.
He put all the things away because he was under siege before and was afraid that these treasures would be taken away by those strong men. Now that the enemies in the forbidden area have been dealt with, there is no need to keep them here.
Zhongdi and Xuanxiao discussed it and finally picked out a few rare treasures that they could use, and did not take the rest.
"What are you doing?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows. Although Zhongdi had said that it would be fine to give them all these treasures, he had never thought of actually taking them away.
The phoenix feather from before was enough for him. The reason why he was able to kill so many people in the fusion stage was also thanks to the phoenix true fire. This reward was enough to offset their kindness.
The three of them suddenly knelt on one knee. "My two benefactors, we actually have a favor to ask."
"Since it's an unreasonable request, then don't say it." After Zhongli Tingzhou said this, Gao Han glared at him.
"Do you want us to help you take care of Fugui?"
The three of them showed surprised expressions because what he said was right.
"How did the benefactor know?"
"Do we need to guess?" Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at them. Only a mentally retarded person would not be able to figure out such a simple truth.
Now that the forbidden land of the Sky-Devouring Beast has appeared in the world, along with countless treasures, it has already become known to everyone.
It is a crime to possess a treasure. If they had the cultivation level of a Mahayana, they could protect the young master and these treasures, but they don't.
It would be a sin for them to possess these treasures. They would not bring any benefits, but instead would bring them endless and terrifying pursuits.
From the very beginning, Zhong said that it was okay to give these treasures to them, and he had already thought about this.
"My two benefactors, our cultivation is too low. We can't protect the young master or these treasures. Few people know about the young master's existence, and the Mahayana cultivators outside probably don't know about it. You have the Zixiao Sect behind you, so those people will have to think twice before they can attack you. So the young master should be safe with you."
"What about you?" Gao Han pondered, "Actually, there is another way. You can also try to enter my little world."
He shook his head. "No, if we disappear, those people will not let you go. The three of us have decided that we will lead those strong men away. They will think that the treasure is with us, so they will not dare to embarrass you again."
"You might die." Zhongli Tingzhou said expressionlessly.
"We know, but we have no other choice. We have already dragged you down this time, and we can't drag you down any more." The three gold-eating beasts have made up their minds.
Gao Han took out the Xizhu and handed it to them. "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. I give you this Xizhu. For the sake of wealth and honor, I hope you can survive."
Zhongli Tingzhou also took out his breath bead and threw it to them.
"That's impossible. This was originally our thank-you gift. There's no way we can take it back." Zhongdi quickly refused.
"We are not doing this for you, but for wealth." Gao Han explained calmly.
"The Xizhu may not be as effective as before. I went out to look for you before, but somehow, I was discovered by several human cultivators. They firmly said that I was a monster and chased me all the way. I was afraid of making too much trouble, so I used the Sunset Bow and quickly got rid of them. However, not long after I left the demon battlefield, those three cultivators chased me, saying that I stole their magic weapon. I didn't dare to use the Sunset Bow again on the Lingtian Continent, and I couldn't get rid of them, so I had to go directly to the Zixiao Sect to find you." Xuan Xiao explained.
Gao Han thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be Xizhu's fault. Maybe you have been targeted by others for a long time. The situation should be more complicated than we thought."
"Then we should separate." Zhong said. Now they didn't know who was plotting against them, and the only way was to go separately.
They did not refuse Xizhu again. For the sake of the young master, they should really take good care of themselves.
"Use the Sky-peeping Mirror to send us out now."
"Are you sure? Maybe there is another way. Didn't you say before that the forbidden area is a magic weapon? We can choose to travel through the space cracks and find a safe place to land."
It was rare for Fugui to find his people again, and Gao Han selfishly didn't want them to be separated again soon.
"You have seen how dangerous the space crack is..."
With a loud bang, before Zhongdi could finish his words, the forbidden area suddenly shook violently.
The five people ran outside and saw that the long black space crack had changed again.
A powerful force seemed to be tearing the space crack again, and a giant hand reached out and waved in the forbidden area.
The half-collapsed palace could not withstand the blow of the giant hand and completely collapsed, turning into a pile of dust.
This giant hand seemed to be fishing for something and did not stop there. Almost all the buildings on the flat ground were not spared. Since it did not get what it wanted, the giant hand came towards them.
The five people immediately retreated to the place of inheritance, where there was a mysterious power.
As soon as this giant hand touched the place of inheritance, it was bounced away.
The giant hand seemed to be enraged and smashed down angrily.
The ferocious momentum seemed to be able to smash the inheritance place of the Sky-Swallowing Beast to pieces. At the critical moment, a sword came from the west with a long and powerful force.
In the Sky-peeking Realm, a shocking scene appeared.
Another person appeared from the horizon, and a vast sword energy descended from the sky, shattering the space nearby. The four Mahayana and Great Monarch-level strongmen were all enveloped in the sword energy.
"Zixiao!"
Angry roars from the four strong men rang out, and the sword energy in the sky was merciless.
They were still lucky because the strong man who wanted to rush into the space crack was the main target of the sword energy, and nearly half of the sword energy submerged him.
The powerful Mahayana stage warrior did not choose to fight back. His aura quickly disappeared and he seemed to have escaped immediately, or chose to hide again.
"Uncle-master is here!" Qi Yu and Master Qian Feng were extremely excited.
They thought it would be great to have a Mahayana elder come, but they didn't expect that the great-grandmaster came in person.
But it’s no wonder, after all, among those deeply involved this time is the disciple of my great-grandmaster.
"It's rare to see so many Mahayana masters in the past. And do you know who the strong man who just attacked the Heaven Devouring Beast Forbidden Land is? His aura is very unfamiliar."
"Maybe it's some old and powerful person who has been hiding from the world?"
"It's possible. It's strange that Ning Jinyuan and Ding Shiwei are here. Why haven't other sects sent anyone yet?"
As he was speaking, extremely powerful auras suddenly rose from all directions and were getting closer and closer.
Countless pressures suddenly descended upon them, and most of the cultivators had already moved far away. Those who had hoped to survive by chance were directly crushed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and their faces ashen.
"This time, it seems that at least six or seven Mahayana masters have arrived, and the demons seem to only have the two great monarch-level demons at the beginning."
Gao Han frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right.
"If these monsters had planned ahead, there wouldn't be only two of them. Either they were planning to cause internal strife among the human race, or there are monsters lurking nearby," said Zhongli Tingzhou.
"The former is very likely. I suspect that they might be targeting Uncle Zixiao." Gao Han's expression was cold.
Master Zixiao is not in the Mahayana stage, he is a powerful person in the Tribulation Crossing stage, and he has almost reached the top of the pyramid and cannot go any further.
Because the Lingtian Continent can no longer ascend, and there is no guidance from the Immortal Realm, there is a high probability of falling after ascension, so many powerful people who have lived in seclusion in the world choose not to break through, and even try their best to suppress their own cultivation.
No one knows exactly how many times Master Zixiao is going through the tribulation now, but many people think that there are only a few left. If they can force him to be unable to contain his power and thus be forced to go through the tribulation, then for the demons, their goal will at least have been achieved.
"Look, although we came here in secret, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Someone will always find out, and Master Zixiao can't let them touch us, so he has to take action."
“In this way, Master will become an enemy of everyone. Other sects and independent cultivators, including demons, will not let Zixiao Sect swallow the magic weapon of the Sky-Devouring Beast alone and increase its strength again.” Zhongli Tingzhou’s eyes also released frost.
"There is someone behind the scenes manipulating everything."
The three important people who did not interrupt suddenly understood why Gao Han did not immediately notify the people from Zixiao Sect, but chose to come alone.
The three of them couldn't help but feel a little guilty, especially Xuan Xiao. He remembered what he said before he came. How could he have the nerve to do that? The Zixiao Sect didn't owe them anything.
"I'm sorry, we didn't know someone was using us to plot against Master Zixiao." Xuan Xiao walked in front of Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou, and was supported by Gao Han before he knelt down.
"We didn't expect this either, but even if we knew, Tingzhou and I would still make the same choice."
It’s not because of any great cause, it’s simply because Fugui is their relative.
They could tell from the fact that the two of them followed Xuan Xiao without hesitation.
“You don’t have to blame yourselves. Even if I didn’t inform the sect at that time, the mastermind behind this would always find a way to let Uncle Zixiao know about it.” Gao Han comforted them.
Chongdi was silent for a moment. "Now there is a way, which is what we just said. We go out and attract everyone's attention. At least we can lead a few away. Then Master Zixiao will be under much less pressure. If we are lucky, we may be able to lead away 90% of the Mahayana masters."
"If that happens, you will definitely die." Gao Han said.
“As long as the young master is fine, there will be hope for the Sky-Devouring Beast. It is not a pity for us to die.” Zhongdi had a determined look on his face, ready to face death.
"Us too." Xuan Xiao and Bai He said at the same time.
Zhongli Tingzhou threw the Sky-Peeking Realm to them and said, "In that case, I'll give you this Sky-Peeking Realm. It won't be of much use to me anyway."
"That won't work. The Sky-Peeking Realm was given to you as a reward. We can't take it back." Zhongdi refused without hesitation.
"Do you think it's free? It's loaned to you." Zhongli Tingzhou said impatiently, "I hate this kind of thing the most. You better think it through."
"I'll also lend you the Nihuang Bell..."
"No!"
Before Gao Han could finish his words, he was rejected by three voices in unison.
"We can accept the Sky-Peeking Realm, since it's borrowed anyway, but we can't accept the Nihuang Bell. It's not ours in the first place, and even if we borrow it, we won't feel comfortable."
Not only were they the ones being rescued, but they also had to accept compensation from the other party. This was simply unheard of.
"The Nihuang Bell is not free. You have to pay interest to borrow it. If you don't return it, I will take one from the natural treasures you left behind. In the end, you are the one who lost, and I am the one who got the advantage."
Zhongdi hesitated for a moment, "But if we are caught or killed, the Nihuang Bell will be taken away by the enemy, and you may not be able to find it back. We can't take this risk."
"Why don't you just try your best not to be caught or killed? Besides, the Nihuang Bell will not be untied from Gao Han. Once Gao Han refines it again with the Phoenix Fire, others will want to forcefully bind the contract to the Nihuang Bell, unless they are not afraid of the Phoenix Fire."
Zhongli Tingzhou was really impatient and kept dithering.
Zhongdi found that murderous intent was almost oozing out of his eyes, but he felt a little touched in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, then let's do as you say."
Gao Han immediately refined the Nihuang Bell again.
Outside the forbidden area, giants from all sides stood high in the void. The four strong men got rid of the sword energy of Master Zixiao and appeared in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"You are hiding your head and showing your tail, why don't you show yourself?" Master Zixiao's eyes were as sharp as torches, penetrating somewhere in the void. A white sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed with the sword lightly.
There was no sword energy shaking, but the space there surged and rolled, twisting a few times, and a powerful Mahayana master fell out from it.
"Mo Wujiu!" Everyone present immediately recognized the other person.
The giant hand that just attacked the forbidden area belonged to Mo Wujiu. It was unknown how long it had been hiding there.
This person obviously has some big plans. He actually hid in a space crack. No wonder no one discovered him at the first time.
Master Zixiao did not continue to look in the direction of Mo Wujiu. He was about to swing the sword in his hand a second time, and two loud laughs came from a distant direction.
After a moment, two long rainbows seemed to fly over from the sky, carrying with them a vast and powerful aura, and two more Mahayana monks arrived.
The onlookers were terrified. What was going on? Why did so many Mahayana monks gather together? This scene had not been seen for many years since there were no large-scale battles in the demon battlefield.
"I'm afraid that Master is in trouble now." In the forbidden area, Gao Han frowned tightly as he saw this scene through the Sky-Peeking Realm.
"The Mahayana cultivators from the Youmo Sect and the Mahayana cultivators from the Qixing Valley, it seems that most of these Mahayana cultivators who have rushed here are not so compatible with the Zixiao Sect." Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes became more and more solemn.
Gao Han's voice turned cold, "It seems that the demon is determined to deal with Master this time, and it is so generous."
"Yes, letting these people come here but trapping the others, isn't that a big deal?" The coldness in Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes deepened.
"What's the situation now?" The three gold-eating beasts didn't quite understand.
"Most of these human Mahayana cultivators have had some conflicts with Zixiao Sect. Why didn't the Mahayana cultivators who had a good relationship with Zixiao Sect arrive? Most of them were delayed."
"Such a move would be unreasonable if used against an ordinary Mahayana cultivator, but it would be reasonable if used against Uncle Zixiao." Gao Han looked solemn. He didn't know if the demon had any other tricks up its sleeve.
"Aren't they afraid that the strong men from Zixiao Sect will come to kill them?" Zhongdi asked in a heavy voice.
“If Master really died here, the strength of Zixiao Sect would undoubtedly decline. Without the powerful deterrence of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, these people would have nothing to fear. Compared to obtaining an ancient immortal weapon, offending a large sect is nothing. Moreover, with an ancient immortal weapon, their combat power would increase exponentially. No one could resist the temptation. They had grievances with Zixiao Sect, so it is easiest to provoke them. If Master tries to stop them, these people will surely gang up on him.” Zhongli Tingzhou said sarcastically.
Gao Han suddenly said, "The human cultivators who attacked Xuan Xiao in the demon battlefield that day were either demons or human cultivators who were secretly colluding with the demons."
This is not a perfect trap, but one thing leads to another, and someone will take the bait in the end. And there is at least a 70% to 80% chance that the person who takes the bait is a strong man from the Zixiao Sect.
The demons are also gambling, but it must be said that this is a gamble with a very high success rate.
Everyone looked at the sky-peeping mirror.
Not to mention which side the human cultivators who appear will take, if they really turn against each other, Master Zixiao will have to face at least seven opponents with Mahayana cultivation.
"Zixiao, you yourself don't enter the forbidden area of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, why do you want to stop us? Could it be that your disciples are inside? Does the Zixiao Sect want to monopolize all the magic weapons of the Sky-Swallowing Beast clan?" Mo Wujiu sneered.
"Are Zixiao's disciples really in there?" The later Mahayana disciples of the Youmo Sect and the Qixing Valley were unaware of this.
"They are indeed in there. I can testify to that. My descendants were killed by them in front of the Zixiao Sect's mountain gate, simply because my descendants discovered that the gold-devouring beast had contacts with the Zixiao Sect's disciples." Captain Ding Shi did not mention a word about the fact that Ding Dajiang wanted to kill people and steal treasures.
Ning Jinyuan stared at Master Zixiao with sharp eyes, "Even if Zixiao Sect is the largest sect in Lingtian Continent, your appetite is too big."
"Master Zixiao, it's not fair of you to do this." Fu Hai, a Mahayana cultivator from the Youmo Sect, said with a half-smile.
Only the Mahayana from Qixing Valley did not express his opinion immediately.
Master Zixiao glanced at them calmly, then looked at the two great monarch-level demons standing on his right, with their momentum unchanged, "Such an obvious provocation, are you sure you want to let the demons laugh at you?"
"If the Zixiao Sect wants to use justice to pressure us, they should at least show some sincerity," said Captain Ding Shiwei.
"Oh." Master Zixiao responded, his face calm, "Then tell me, what does it mean to show some sincerity?"
"Of course, you should ask your disciple, Gao Han, to hand over all the treasures on him. Not a single one should be left out. This is fair."
The one who spoke was Mo Wujiu, and the darkness in his eyes was filled with deep malice.
"Wouldn't it be best if I handed over the Eight Divine Swords to you? That would be the best thing to do." Master Zixiao chuckled, "This is one of your goals, right?"
"So what? The Eight Divine Swords originally belonged to the Supreme Sect. We are just returning them to their original owners." Mo Wujiu said coldly, not hiding his thoughts at all.
Master Zixiao suddenly changed the subject, "Mo Wujiu, do you know why the Eight Gods didn't create the complete Eight Gods Sword back then?"
Mo Wujiu's eyes flashed, "If your disciple doesn't hand over the things today, we will never let it go."
"The Supreme Sect is very ruthless towards its own disciples." Master Zixiao.
"Stop talking nonsense. We don't have patience much. Let them come out and hand over the things in the treasury. That's it. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless." Ning Jinyuan said with a gloomy face.
Captain Ding said, "Or get out of the way and let us go in by ourselves."
"It seems that you have made up your mind. If you talk nicely, I may be able to make some concessions. But if you take advantage of the situation and bully the Zixiao Sect, wouldn't it be a loss of the reputation of my Zixiao Sect if I compromise?"
Master Zixiao was leaning against the entrance to the forbidden area. The strong wind that kept leaking out from the space cracks dispersed to both sides when it approached him. The hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind, and the arc did not even change.
"What about you?" Master Zixiao looked at Fu Hai and Rong Xiangyang.
“Eating alone is not a good habit.” Fu Hai of the Phantom Demon Sect said calmly.
Rong Xiangyang didn't say anything, but his attitude seemed to be the same as Fu Hai's.
A soft sigh sounded in the air.
"I, Zixiao, haven't shown my power for many years, yet I'm actually being bullied."
