Chapter 109 Cang Li frowned, unable to think...
Cang Li frowned, unable to understand why the demon race wanted the human race's soul.
After killing all the demons involved, Cang Li suppressed his nausea and began to search the corpses. Sure enough, he found a soul-collecting bag on one of the demons. Inside were the souls of humans, at least four or five thousand human souls, as well as some Ni Ni.
Cang Li suppressed his grief and carefully put away the soul-collecting bag. Now was not the time to be sad. The conversation among these demons just now mentioned that they didn't have enough soul essence, so Kunpeng would definitely bring more people over.
She needs to go and check on Yotsuba.
When Cang Li arrived at the Four Leaf Tribe, it was already dawn. The Four Leaf Tribe was still peaceful, and everyone was getting up and working one after another, with smiles on their faces. Cang Li found Four Leaf and explained the situation directly.
Yotsuba covered her mouth in disbelief: "This...this is impossible! Nini, she..."
Cang Li nodded calmly: "It's true, the demon race will come and make a move. Si Ye, I'll be fine here, but I'm worried they'll go to other tribes."
Four Leaves grasped Cang Li's hand and said:
"Great Chief, we have a way to send messages, wait for me."
He ran to a high place, lit a pile of dry branches covered in moisture, and thick black smoke quickly rose up. After lighting the fire, Yotsuba ran back and said:
“Chief, we set up this black smoke and also arranged people to guard it in each tribe. They will pass on the message as soon as they see the smoke. Nini... she must not have had time.”
Yotsuba finished speaking in a low mood.
Cang Li patted Si Ye on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid. Nini is very brave. She protected half of the tribe and saved them. Si Ye, you guys continue with your work as usual. I will be watching from the shadows."
Yotsuba perked up: "Big Boss, don't worry!"
After saying that, he strode away, leaving his terrified clansmen to continue working, determined to lure out the culprit lurking in the shadows.
Kunpeng, having not received any news for a long time, could no longer sit still. He led a team of demon soldiers out of the Demon Court, intending to search personally. He encountered Er as soon as he arrived at the gate.
Er didn't like Kunpeng much. He frowned and was about to leave when he stopped and asked, "Where are you going, Demon Master?"
Kunpeng looked at Er with a half-smile: "Little General, you should mind your own business. I am just following orders."
Er left with a cold face, saying that he hated this Kunpeng.
Kunpeng headed straight for the lower realm, following the messages left by the little demons to reach the Four Leaf Tribe. He didn't see the little demons they had sent out, but only the thriving human race. Kunpeng narrowed his eyes, raised his hand behind him, and gave an order: no matter where those demons went, now that he was here, the human race of this tribe should not live and should become a fragment of spirit in the Slaughtering Witch Sword.
The demon race charged at the human tribe, but Four Leaves was prepared, and the two sides clashed.
Cang Li recognized Kunpeng at a glance and charged at him without saying a word.
Kunpeng, having emerged from the early primordial era, possessed a heightened awareness of danger that outweighed his initial attack. He turned around and saw Cang Li, even managing a cheerful greeting:
"It's the Great Chief! Where did he come from? Why are you so angry?"
Cang Li asked coldly, "Humans have no grudge against you. If you want to avenge those nine little golden crows, just come to me. Why did you slaughter them?"
Kunpeng laughed heartily:
"Great Chief, why did I slaughter humans? Of course, it's because humans are useful. It was His Majesty's order. Since you refused to bring out that sword, we had no choice but to forge a new one ourselves. Didn't you also use tens of thousands of human souls to create that sword? There's no need to blame us. Didn't we learn all of this from you, Great Chief?"
Cang Li was stunned for a moment: "What sword? Forged from the essence of a human..."
Halfway through his sentence, Cang Li suddenly realized that Kunpeng was referring to the Xuanyuan Sword. This sword could kill the Wu Clan with ease, and the Demon Clan also wanted it.
Cang Li exhaled: "Is this why you've come to slaughter humans?"
Kunpeng: "Of course, isn't the Great Chief on the side of the Witch Clan? Then don't blame my Demon Clan for taking action. Once the Witch-Slaying Sword is completed, and in conjunction with His Majesty's Star Array, the prehistoric world will be ruled by the Demon Clan."
Cang Li sneered: "So this is what you call a demon race? Don't even dream about it!"
After saying that, Cang Li rushed over. Once she found out the other party's purpose, things would be easier. She would kill Kunpeng here first to comfort the dead human race, and then go to the Demon Court to settle accounts with Di Jun.
Kunpeng unleashed his magic weapon, and was immediately taken aback when he faced Cang Li. He hadn't expected Cang Li, who had been unable to put up much resistance in their last encounter, to become so powerful in such a short time. He had only ever felt this kind of pressure from Donghuang Taiyi.
Could it be that the Primordial Purple Qi truly resides within this human chieftain?
Kunpeng's eyes instantly lit up with eagerness, and he quickly spoke while they were closing in on each other:
"That idiot Hongyun gave you the Primordial Purple Qi!?"
After saying that, he stared at Cang Li, trying to glean some clues from Cang Li's face.
Cang Li remained unfazed: "What is Primordial Purple Qi? What is that?" How many years has she lived? It's perfectly normal that she doesn't know about Primordial Purple Qi.
Kunpeng looked at Cang Li suspiciously, and intensified its attack, attempting to kill Cang Li and search his soul.
If Cang Li were so easy to deal with, she wouldn't be Cang Li. The Hongmeng Holy Sword in her hand quickly slashed at Kunpeng. The Hongmeng Holy Sword seemed to be filled with hatred for avenging its master, and for the first time, it showed excellent attack power. Combined with Cang Li's swordsmanship, it forced Kunpeng to retreat repeatedly.
Kunpeng naturally had his own abilities, otherwise he would have died in the struggles of the prehistoric world long ago. He formed hand seals and quickly attacked Cangli.
The Book of Teachings flew out from Cang Li's spiritual palace to block the attack.
Cang Li squinted, and a Ruler of Instruction appeared in his left hand.
Kunpeng is treacherous and cunning; she cannot underestimate him, nor does she know how many blows of the teaching ruler he can withstand.
Cang Li rarely uses the Teaching Ruler outside, so when Kunpeng appeared in Cang Li's hand, he was wary, but not much. He was too busy defending against the crazed Hongmeng Holy Sword to pay attention to the Teaching Ruler, and Cang Li caught him off guard.
As it turns out, the Ruler of Teachings has an absolute suppressive effect on cultivation levels below the level of a saint, not to mention that Kunpeng doesn't even have the strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The Kunpeng stood frozen in place, its expression of fear revealed for the first time. Unable to move during the battle, it was certain to die.
Cang Li stabbed Kunpeng through with his backhand, and the Teaching Ruler struck his primordial spirit directly.
Kunpeng never imagined that simply coming out to collect the essence of humans would cost him his life. Kunpeng was unwilling to accept this, and his primordial spirit escaped from his body, attempting to flee and rebuild his cultivation.
Taiqing then appeared, grasped Kunpeng's fleeing primordial spirit, and indifferently extinguished the remaining primordial spirit within Kunpeng's body. He then said to Cangli:
“Ali, don’t be careless. Races other than the Witch Clan all cultivate the primordial spirit. Even if the primordial spirit is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. Since we’ve already started, let’s not leave any future troubles.”
After saying this, he crushed the last bit of Kunpeng's primordial spirit in front of Cang Li, and the Demon Master was thus annihilated, both in body and soul.
Cang Li humbly accepted the lesson. Relatively speaking, Tai Qing's experience was definitely more worth learning from. If it left any future troubles, he feared he would suffer again in the future.
"Taoist Master, I need to go to the Demon Court."
Cang Li looked at Tai Qing, and if Tai Qing showed even the slightest sign of opposition, Cang Li would turn around and leave without saying a word, going to the Demon Court to settle accounts with Di Jun.
Taiqing was not surprised at all: "Go, be careful. Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun are joining forces, you may not be able to defeat them, but don't worry, I will go with you."
Cang Li's eyes lit up instantly, and he put away the Teaching Ruler and the Primordial Holy Sword:
I knew you were the best!
Taiqing patted Cangli's head: "Let's go. Once this problem is solved, we'll go back to Kunlun Mountain."
Cang Li agreed, gave Si Ye a few instructions, and led the remaining half-dead demons straight to the Demon Court.
The little demon guarding the Demon Court recognized Cang Li. When he saw Cang Li, he was about to greet him with a smile when he noticed that Cang Li's face was ugly and he was holding several demon soldiers in his hand. The little demon was stunned for a moment and immediately ran to greet Di Jun.
After entering the palace, Cang Li went straight to Lingxiao Palace. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Lingxiao Palace, he saw Di Jun walking out in a hurry.
When Di Jun saw Cang Li, his face was very ugly. He coldly questioned him:
"Is it not enough that the Great Chief killed nine of my children, he also intends to annihilate my demon race?! It seems the Great Chief is determined to side with the Witch Clan and become an enemy of my demon race?!"
Cang Li threw several half-dead demon soldiers in front of Di Jun:
"I thought all of you demons were as upright and honorable as Taiyi. I never expected that you, the dignified ruler of the Demon Court, would resort to such despicable means behind the scenes! It was I who killed nine of your children. If you have any problems, just come to me. Why did you send people to slaughter my people!"
Di Jun narrowed his eyes and blurted out, "You killed Kunpeng!?"
Since Kunpeng has not yet appeared, Dijun immediately thought that Kunpeng had been killed by Cangli, and that Kunpeng was no match for Cangli.
Cang Li sneered: "So it really was you who gave the order behind the scenes. That's right, I killed Kunpeng. He led people to slaughter the human race and killed many of my people. Is this how your demon race acts, Di Jun?!"
Er, who had come with Donghuang Taiyi, was stunned when he heard Cang Li's words: the demon race was slaughtering the human race...
Donghuang Taiyi stood beside Dijun: "Cangli, your brother wouldn't go so far as to send people to slaughter the human race. You killed nine little golden crows, and your brother didn't even lift a finger in his grief and anger. Why would he need to slaughter the human race?"
Cang Li looked at Donghuang Taiyi and said, "Because he wanted to slay the witch sword, wanted to destroy the witch clan, and also wanted to vent his anger over his wrong decision."
Di Jun finally couldn't hold back his expression any longer and looked at Cang Li, saying:
"You should have known this day would come when you killed nine of my children! Cang Li, you're not leaving now that you've come!"
Then he said to Donghuang Taiyi, "Taiyi, make your move and leave her in the Demon Court!"
Donghuang Taiyi instinctively obeyed Dijun's words, but after making a move, he suddenly stopped and stopped Dijun, saying:
"Brother, now is not the time to make a move."
Di Jun quickly calmed down. Indeed, Cang Li was quite powerful, and fighting now would result in mutual destruction. If the Wu Clan took advantage of the situation, they would suffer a greater loss.
Cang Li held a sword in her right hand and a teaching ruler in her left, striking a pose that showed she wasn't afraid to fight, especially with Tai Qing behind her.
Di Jun snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and said to Donghuang Taiyi:
"Even if we kill all the humans, no one can say anything. It's too good for them to be buried with my son."
Cang Li was furious and was about to rush forward with his sword when someone grabbed him around the waist.
"Sister! Stop!"
Yes, Er, her face full of anxiety, hugged Cang Li's waist, stopping Cang Li from making a move.
