It was almost twenty years ago that Luo Jianqing first saw the Tianqing Breaking Sea Formation.
At that time, over 80% of the human race's greatest warriors were trapped in the far north by this formation. The demon race sacrificed thousands of demon beasts, using their lives as sacrifices to cause this formation to encircle Qizhou, Mingzhou, and Chaozhou. It was Luo Jianqing, Fozi, and Yunxiang who secretly smuggled themselves through the formation. Finally, Luo Jianqing used the Mingguang Qingyu Pearl to cause the formation to collapse.
At that time, Luo Jianqing was only in the middle stage of fusion, but now he has reached the late stage of tribulation and great perfection.
He seemed to have advanced to a higher realm and should be very familiar with this formation and be able to break through it easily. However, at that time, Luo Jianqing was backed by several top masters such as Wen Longzi. With their help, Luo Jianqing was able to break the formation in one fell swoop.
Although Luo Jianqing still possessed the Mingguang Qingyu Pearl at this moment, it was undoubtedly a difficult task to fight against these nine Mahayana cultivators.
It was dark everywhere. The path these nine people took was different from the one taken by the second sea lord's team. The overlapping mountains blocked the light and shadow of the sycamore tree. They did not see any light and continued to move forward like blind men groping in the dark.
So Luo Jianqing followed them quietly, waiting for the opportunity to act.
Along the way, Luo Jianqing calmly observed these nine people and heard a lot of their words.
Of the five cultivators, two were quiet, while three frequently engaged in conversation. One of these five was a casual cultivator, one from the Broken Soul Sect, and the remaining three were from the Yun, Mo, and Que families. The oldest of them was no more than 2,100 years old, while the youngest was approximately 1,900 years old. All of them had reached the early stages of the Great Vehicle stage.
Among the four demon clans, one had been seen before by Luo Jianqing on the battlefield between the two clans. He seemed to be a demon lord from the Third Sea. There were also three people Luo Jianqing had never seen before, but they were all earth-level demon lords. It was thought that they might be subordinates of the four demon lords.
These four demons seldom communicated with the five cultivators, and there seemed to be signs that both sides disliked each other.
Luo Jianqing frowned slightly at this relationship, as if he had sensed something. Soon, he learned a secret from an accident involving these nine people.
"Monster Hu Hai! You did it on purpose! You deliberately let me face that beast alone!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand you at all."
The white-haired venerable said angrily, "Two hundred years ago, I cut off your horn. You must have been holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, right?"
"Hahahaha, do you want to mind my business?"
"you!"
The human and demon races had been fighting for years. While it was true that both races were numerous, the top forces of each race were limited to a handful of individuals. Over the years, both sides had become very familiar with the other's powerful figures, and had even clashed with many of them.
Especially for those of their similar strength, they have probably fought on the battlefield many times and have a blood feud.
Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes slightly, silently gazing at the nine people in the distance who seemed to be in harmony. After a long pause, he raised the corner of his lips and suddenly raised his sword, splitting a small hill not far away. This startled the nine people, who all looked over here in shock.
As the nine men cautiously approached to investigate, before they could fully grasp the cause, they heard a ferocious roar. A bizarre beast, resembling a tiger, an ox, and a lion, burst forth from the crumbling hillside, its body clad in pitch black. The nine men immediately drew their weapons and engaged in resistance.
It was just a beast in the early stages of tribulation, and the nine people easily killed it.
They continued to move forward, but only half an hour later, another beast roared towards them.
Over the next two days, the nine men's progress slowed considerably, constantly encountering various strange beasts. These beasts weren't demonic beasts, and lacked any demonic aura. Most were pitch black, with green eyes gleaming in their eyes. Even those with Tribulation Crossing or even Mahayana cultivation seemed devoid of wisdom, never engaging in argument, always resorting to lethal attacks.
No matter how high their cultivation was, facing such frequent attacks, the nine people couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The one-horned demon lord said, "We may have come to a very dangerous place, which is why there are so many attacks."
Another demon lord replied, "That's right, but we can still fight the danger here."
At this point, no one spoke anymore. The venerables from the Yun, Mo, and Que families exchanged glances, their thoughts unsettled. Three demon venerables also exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with strangeness.
In the darkness in the distance, Luo Jianqing hid in a hill, smiling faintly with the corners of his lips raised.
What divides people most in this world? It's not suffering, but self-interest.
Everyone knows that the Cliff of Broken Love is a place of opportunity and treasure. Each of the first eight levels of danger has its own treasure, so it stands to reason that the ninth level wouldn't have any. If that's the case, who wouldn't want to obtain a treasure?
Luo Jianqing used the terrain advantage to create a series of difficulties for the nine people, helping them to lure out many dark monsters hiding in the depths of darkness that were too lazy to pay attention to them, just to make them think: there is an opportunity here, and they are very likely to be able to get this opportunity.
Luo Jianqing named the wild beasts in this mountain area the Dark Beasts. They have lived at the bottom of the dark cliff for a long time. Generally, they will not take the initiative to provoke others, but once they launch an attack, they will fight to the death.
Now, the effect is very good. These nine people have already believed that there is an opportunity here, so the next step is to wait for them to split up on their own.
Any team is bound to have small groups. Luo Jianqing is not sure whether there is any collusion among them, but at least the human race will be a team and the demon race will be a group. In the face of opportunity, they are absolutely incompatible.
