Chapter 1148 Chaos Beast
"That's right!" Taixu Ancient Dragon raised his head proudly. "That's the 'Soul-Calming Bell' left by Lord Cangwu. It's specifically designed to counter demonic energy. The Demon God Temple's shady methods will be at least halved in power within the range of the bell!"
Luo Li tapped the map with her fingertips. "Let's take this route." She drew a winding path, avoiding most of the red dots. "First, get the inheritance left by Senior Cangwu, and then go to the Demon God Temple."
The Taixu Ancient Dragon suddenly flew onto Luo Li's shoulder and said, "I'll take you through the secret passage! Those stinky bugs would never imagine that there's a shortcut in the Nine-Layered Heavenly Palace Formation that Lord Cangwu has specially prepared for the Xuanyue Sword Master!"
He was about to speak, but then he whispered, "You know what? There are quite a few bugs among those people behind you."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't worry about them. They can't get out of this ruin."
She took out a few more Saint Lord Pills and held them to Taixu Ancient Dragon's mouth, "Want to eat?"
When Taixu Ancient Dragon saw the Saint Lord Pill, his eyes almost became cross-eyed.
He stretched out his dragon claw to take it, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it with tears in his eyes: "Wow, it's delicious, you are so kind."
Luo Li chuckled, said no more, and motioned for everyone to follow.
Under the leadership of Taixu Ancient Dragon, everyone moved forward quickly along a hidden passage.
The passage was filled with a light mist, and occasionally some strange runes appeared on the ground, flashing a faint light.
As we approached the exit, we suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting from the front.
Luo Li raised her hand to signal everyone to stop and carefully approached the source of the sound.
Through the fog, I saw several elders of the Mu family fighting fiercely with a group of magical beasts emitting black energy.
"It's a demonized beast!" Taixu Ancient Dragon exclaimed in a low voice.
Although the elders of the Mu family were quite powerful, they gradually became unable to cope with the large number of demonized beasts.
The arm of one of the elders was scratched by a sharp claw. The moment the blood gushed out, the demonized beasts became even more crazy.
Luo Li's eyes flashed, and she turned to look at Taixu Ancient Dragon: "What's going on with these demonized beasts?"
The Taixu Ancient Dragon snorted and flicked its tail in disdain. "It's all the work of those guys from the Demon God Temple! They used demonic energy to demonize the spirit beasts that were originally guarding the ruins, just to prevent others from exploring the ruins."
Lan Xiaoxiao snorted, "The people from the Demon God Temple are truly shameless. They don't even spare their own allies."
Lei Che rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Luo Li, should we take action? It's quite interesting to see the Mu family get humiliated."
Luo Li shook her head slightly, her eyes calm: "Let's observe first to see if they can hold on. Besides, our goal is to obtain Senior Cangwu's inheritance, so there's no need to waste time here."
At this moment, a shrill scream rang out.
A disciple of the Mu family was knocked to the ground by a demonized beast and was in danger of losing his life.
The elders of the Mu family were furious and tried their best to rescue them, but they were entangled by several demonized beasts.
Luo Li sighed softly, the Xuan Yue Sword in her hand shone brightly: "Let's go, if we can save anyone, it's one."
In an instant, several people rushed into the battlefield like ghosts.
Luo Li's sword flashed, and wherever the icy air reached, the demonic beasts were frozen into ice sculptures.
Emperor Xuanming swept the spear in his hand, leaving behind a series of afterimages, repelling all the approaching demonic beasts.
Lightning exploded in Lei Che's palm, and bolts of lightning struck down, instantly turning a large number of demonized beasts into charcoal.
Under the powerful attack of the crowd, the demonized beasts were quickly defeated.
The remaining demonized beasts let out a few unwilling roars, turned around and fled into the fog.
The elders of the Mu family looked at Luo Li and others who suddenly appeared in surprise and suspicion, and held the spiritual weapons in their hands vigilantly.
The leading elder said in a deep voice: "Why did you save us?"
Luo Li smiled faintly and put away the Xuan Yue Sword: "It was just a matter of convenience. Besides, in these ruins, one more enemy is worse than one more ally."
The elders of the Mu family looked at each other, the vigilance in their eyes not completely dissipated, but they still managed to clasp their fists and said, "Thank you for what you did today."
Luo Li didn't waste any words and said directly: "The Demon God Temple used demonic energy to open the ruins in advance and also created these demonized beasts. If you don't want to die here, try to stay in the same direction as us."
Lan Xiaoxiao also said deliberately: "Yes, yes, it's a good thing that there are no people from the Demon God Temple among us, otherwise we would be killed by our own people without knowing it."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the leaders of the Mu and Ji families suddenly changed. Damn it, could this demon beast really be the work of the Demon God Temple?!
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to the people from the Mu family and continued to move forward with her team.
Now, after what happened just now, they probably assumed that Luo Li and the others had become allies, and they wouldn't be afraid of alerting them if they got closer.
The Taixu Ancient Dragon lay invisible on her shoulder and muttered, "Why save them? These people may not appreciate it."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow: "I just don't want the Demon God Temple's conspiracy to succeed so easily. Besides, they might be able to help us ward off disaster."
The crowd continued to move forward along the secret passage. As they went deeper, the fluctuations of spiritual energy around them became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a huge stone gate appeared in front of them. On the stone gate was carved a lifelike dragon, and the dragon's eyes were flashing with a strange red light.
The Taixu Ancient Dragon suddenly became nervous, its body made of mist trembling slightly. "This is the entrance to the second level of the restriction. Inside, there's... a large creature guarding it! Lord Cangwu captured it a while ago and placed it in the palace, but he didn't have time to tame it."
Luo Li's eyes glared, and she gripped the Xuan Yue Sword tightly: "What kind of existence is this?"
Taixu Ancient Dragon swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling a little: "It is a Chaos Beast, extremely powerful. It took Lord Cangwu a lot of effort to capture her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door shook violently, and fine cracks spread like a spider web.
A deafening roar came from behind the door, the ground shook violently, and the runes under everyone's feet shone brightly, as if resisting some kind of terrifying pressure.
"Be careful!" Before Luo Li finished speaking, the stone door was smashed to pieces, and debris flew all over the sky.
Emperor Xuanming swept his spear across, and the golden spear light formed a barrier, repelling all the gravel.
When the smoke cleared, a giant beast wrapped in pitch-black gray mist appeared before everyone.
Her figure was like a mountain, with three twisted horns on her head and six eyes emitting a scarlet glow. Every step she took left charred marks of corrosion on the ground.
"How could this happen?! The Chaos Beast has actually transformed into a demon!" Taixu Ancient Dragon said sharply, "It must be those guys from the Demon God Temple who are secretly causing trouble!"
The Chaos Beast suddenly opened its bloody mouth and a dark purple beam of energy spurted out, causing the space to distort wherever it passed.
Luo Li retreated quickly, and the Xuan Yue Sword drew an ice-blue arc of light, colliding with the light column. The strong energy impact set off an air wave, blowing everyone's clothes.
