Chapter 244: Blessed by Heaven
The man in the black cloak clenched his fists, unclenched them, and then burst into laughter.
"It seems you don't recognize me, right?"
Xuanhuo said arrogantly: "Do I need to know you?"
As Xuanhuo spoke, he raised his hand, and a powerful spiritual power wrapped in Suzaku's strange fire rushed straight towards the black cloak.
Although he was no match for the other party, as the divine beast Vermillion Bird, he carried the strange fire that was the natural enemy of evil spirits, so he could still take Gu Liyue and the others away.
Then he shouted to Gu Liyue: "Go!"
Gu Liyue had guessed from Xuanhuo's reaction just now that Xuanhuo's current cultivation level was no match for the Black Cloak. Their situation would then become difficult. Not only would they be unable to kill the other party, they might even be killed by him.
She was also prepared to escape. As soon as she heard Xuanhuo's words, she flew away on her sword like an arrow.
Gu Liyue told her companions to scatter and hide once they left the secret realm. She then told Xuanhuo to guide a stream of light to fly far away, circle around, and then return.
They rushed towards the exit of the secret realm.
The man in black cloak waved his hand, dispersing Xuanhuo's spiritual power, but the strange fire attached to his sleeves. He immediately felt a burning pain spreading throughout his body. He mobilized the black air to wrap his whole body tightly, and the strange fire slowly extinguished.
He looked up again and found that he was the only one left in the air. He couldn't help but feel frustrated. It seemed that he had failed again this time.
No, not necessarily.
He gathered all the black energy in his body and rushed towards the exit of the secret realm.
After leaving the secret realm, he saw three old monks in the Nascent Soul stage, staring at him intently. He felt very annoyed, and instantly his demonic energy surged. He waved his hand and blew them all away.
Looking around again, he did not see the Azure Dragon and the Vermillion Bird, and he did not know where they had gone.
He stretched out his hand and used his demonic energy to suck Elder Bai towards him. Fear showed on Elder Bai's face, but he was unable to resist. He only heard a shrill voice saying, "Where did the monks who just came out escape to?"
Elder Bai widened his eyes, remembering the light that had just escaped into the air, and pointed behind him.
The man in the black cloak swung his hand and threw Elder Bai to the ground, knocking him unconscious.
The black cloak seemed to be walking in the air, but in a few breaths, it disappeared into the void.
Elder Cheng watched the evil demon leave before walking over to Elder Bai. He used his spiritual power to check and found that Elder Bai had just fainted from the fall. Although his internal organs were shaken, he was not seriously injured.
Elder Gan saw that he was relieved and knew that Elder Bai was not seriously injured.
The two elders arranged the aftermath and reported the situation back to the sect family.
After a while, some monks came out of the exit of the secret realm one after another. They all saw the fight between the man in black cloak and Xuanhuo in the secret realm.
Some were so frightened that their faces turned pale, some looked excited, and some looked full of admiration for the strong.
Gu Liyue and the others had breath-suppressing talismans stuck on their bodies. They gathered from all directions and quietly followed the wandering cultivators who had just emerged from the secret realm as they walked towards the city.
The group entered Baiguang City, found an inn to stay in, and then gathered together.
"The black cloak should be targeting Qingxiao and Xuanhuo. What do you think?" Gu Liyue said to Qingxiao and Xuanhuo.
Xuanhuo looked at Qingxiao in confusion, while Qingxiao was recalling that she felt that she had not offended any evil demon emitting black energy in the fairy world!
At most, she helped the God of War fight against evil demons. She only served under the God of War Tingyuan for a few decades and participated in the war between immortals and demons. Later, the immortals and demons drew a line between the two sides and negotiated, so there was no more war to fight.
In short, her encounters with the demons were all on the battlefield and were official business, and did not involve any personal grudges. There was no reason for the demons to target her because of this!
As for Xuanhuo, he was on another battlefield. As far as she knew, his situation should be no different from hers.
Because the two were old acquaintances and were warlike, the immortals would always compare the results of each battle.
They had gotten used to comparing each other after every battle, so she knew his situation, but she didn't know much about the details.
The most common thing between these two mythical beasts is that they are bellicosity, advocate battles, and like to be at the front.
There was nothing else to say. Qingxiao thought about it but couldn't figure it out.
He also told everyone what he knew, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
He focused his gaze on Xuanhuo again, and Xuanhuo said, "There are still many things I can't remember. I can't think of anything."
Nie Hengzhou said, "If you were really brought to the lower realm by the evil demon, the demon's purpose is either revenge, or you are useful to him, or both."
Qing Xiao said, "As for revenge, on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and we are enemies. Shouldn't he take revenge on the commander? Perhaps his relatives were killed by me or Xuanhuo."
Gu Liyue thought of Dongfeng Xiyue's experience, and the story of transferring luck in the secret realm. It seemed like it was all related to me, the evil demon. How long had this been planned?
"It is said that when Dongfeng Xiyue arrived in Qingxuan Continent, there was also the work of evil demons. Is it really possible to transfer destiny?"
Xuanhuo frowned slightly and said, "I really can't remember. I feel like I should have some impression, but I just can't remember it."
Qing Xiao thought for a moment and said, "There are some forbidden techniques that should be possible. But I don't really understand them. After all, they are forbidden techniques, and I'm a legitimate divine beast. I won't learn something I won't use!"
Xuanhuo rolled his eyes when he heard Qingxiao say that, and muttered, "Just say you're lazy if you want to. You're bullying me because my memory hasn't recovered."
Qingxiao heard it but did not respond.
Gu Liyue said, "Since we don't know the reason, but this evil demon can actually hunt us down in the lower realm, we have to think of how to deal with it. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, killing us is just a matter of a finger."
Everyone trembled inwardly as they recalled the terrifying power within the secret realm. It was a force they could not resist.
Xiao Ju said: "Can Qingxiao's cultivation level fight against that evil demon?"
Qing Xiao recalled the spiritual energy waves he felt outside the secret realm entrance and said, "It's barely possible. He only dares to attack with all his strength within the secret realm. If he dares to show his cultivation level above this realm elsewhere, he will be punished by the Heavenly Dao. After going through tribulations, he will ascend to the Demon Realm."
Yun Lizhi said, “I don’t know how many cultivators in the Cangwu Realm have reached a level close to ascension.”
Li Xiuyuan: "Are you trying to use someone else's strength to counteract your own? The aristocratic families have always placed too much emphasis on their own interests. Will they be willing to accept us?"
Qiao Zhiwen said, "Perhaps we can establish a sect in the Cangwu Realm and bring the senior leaders of Qingxuan Academy here to develop the school."
Xiahou Jingrong said, "That's a good idea. As long as we gain a foothold here, and then think about uniting the various clans and sects, fighting against the evil demons will be a piece of cake."
They all knew that the cultivators in Qingxuan Continent were no less hardworking than those in Cangwu Realm, but the spiritual energy in Qingxuan Continent was thinner than that in Cangwu Realm, and the realm settings were also different. Was this the favor of Heaven to Cangwu?
They can also bring up cultivators with Nascent Soul or above cultivation from the Qingxuan Continent to be favored by Heaven.
