After listening to Wu Dong's story, Wu Cangqiong's face became solemn. The black nail that suppressed the Demon Spirit's Eye was a treasure of the human race. It was called the Soul-Suppressing Nail, and it was used to suppress the poisonous miasma produced in the Demon Spirit's Eye.
A long time ago, the forest where the demon clan now lives, including the Ping'an area, was called the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, and it was the territory where the demon clan lived.
However, eight thousand years ago, the demonic energy in the only remaining land in Xuantian Continent suitable for the survival of monsters began to dissipate overnight. If this trend continued, the monster clan would soon have no place to stand.
Just when Wu Cangqiong was having a headache, several immortals of the human race attacked him and organized a massive demon-killing alliance, determined to wipe out the entire demon race in one fell swoop.
There are also some doubts about this behavior. Since the demonic energy in the only remaining forest of beasts of the demon clan has begun to dissipate, the demon clan naturally has no means of survival. Humans only need to wait patiently for the demon clan to become extinct on their own. Why bother to start a war and cause unnecessary casualties?
In this regard, several immortals explained that these brutal monsters have reached the end of their rope. In their desperation, it is hard to guarantee that they will not do something desperate and do something that will anger heaven and man to the human race, especially to ordinary humans. If these monsters go crazy, any one of them can cause devastation to the lives of people. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to attack and nip the evil in the bud.
Wu Cangqiong simply sneered at the statements of these immortals. If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. It is really ridiculous that these big figures who are high and mighty among the human race would start a war between the two races with such trumped-up charges.
Wu Cangqiong knew clearly that these scattered immortals would not care about the life and death of the human race. The reason why they attacked the demon race at this time, or attacked him, was to seize the secret method that was rumored to allow scattered immortals to break through to the heavenly immortal. After all, if the demon race was gone, there would be no point for him to stay in Xuantian Continent. If he did not take action at this time, they would have no chance after he ascended to the immortal world.
However, Wu Cangqiong is a dragon, which can be regarded as a divine beast. There are very few humans at the same level who can be his match, let alone those immortals who failed to pass the tribulation. Soon he killed those immortals with an iron-fisted approach.
He was already annoyed, so he eliminated most of the people in the Demon-Killing Alliance in one fell swoop. After he calmed down, he felt that he had gone too far. These cultivators were just bewitched or threatened by those immortals, so he let the remaining cultivators of the Demon-Killing Alliance go.
The human race in the outside world saw that Wu Cangqiong was so fierce and was afraid that Wu Cangqiong would really go crazy and implicate the entire human race, so they immediately stated that this matter had nothing to do with them.
After solving the troubles of the human race, Wu Cangqiong began to deal with the matter of the demonic energy in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. Wu Cangqiong was powerless to stop the demonic energy from dissipating, but Li Mu had left him a round of Demonic Spirit Eyes, which contained a large amount of demonic energy, which Li Mu had left for him to use to break through the realm. However, at this point, he could no longer care about these things, and without any hesitation, he placed the Demonic Spirit Eyes in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. Looking at the demonic energy that continued to emerge from the Demonic Spirit Spring, Wu Cangqiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the crisis of the demon race was at least temporarily resolved.
However, due to the limited demonic energy emitted by the Demon Spirit's Eye, it was impossible to cover the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. It could barely support the current range of the Dark Forest. As a result, the demon clan had to retreat into the Dark Forest.
Those cultivators who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the demon clan and managed to survive were not welcomed anywhere they went after they returned. Even their sects and families immediately drew a line between themselves and them, as if they had become rats crossing the street overnight.
Helplessly, those monks had to wander around. Some of them somehow came to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest after the monsters retreated, which is now the Peaceful Region. The territory close to the monsters was the territory of the monsters in the past. Naturally, humans dared not approach it, and no one was willing to go there. Here, no one pointed fingers at these monks anymore. They immediately felt a sense of belonging from the bottom of their hearts, and settled down here.
The demon clan did not say anything about this. Although those places were originally their territories, the land without demonic energy was of no use to them.
Later, more and more cultivators who survived the encirclement and suppression of the demon tribe learned about this and went to settle here. Some cultivators or common people who had offended the powerful in other places also flocked to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest after the demon beasts withdrew. At this point, the original Demon Beast Forest was divided into two parts, one part was the Dark Forest where the demon beasts now lived, and the other was the current Peaceful Area.
With the nourishment of the Demon Spirit's Eye, the demon race survived for several more decades. However, the Demon Spirit's Eye has a drawback. While spewing out demonic energy, it also produces a poisonous miasma. This miasma does not have much effect on demon beasts of a higher realm, but for demon beasts of a slightly lower realm, it is a fatal poison.
In this regard, Wu Cangqiong thought of using the Soul-Suppressing Nail to solve the problem. This Soul-Suppressing Nail was obtained by Wu Cangqiong when he explored a secret realm tens of thousands of years ago. It has the effect of suppressing evil and poisonous substances. Although each one is only of the lower grade of immortal level, a total of 81 Soul-Suppressing Nails combined are comparable to holy weapons, and there is no problem in using them to suppress the poisonous miasma.
However, the Soul-Suppressing Nail is a treasure of the human race and is naturally repelled by monsters. Even though Wu Cangqiong is already the strongest person in Xuantian Continent, it is wishful thinking for him to use the Soul-Suppressing Nail. Helplessly, Wu Cangqiong can only seek help from the cultivators in the nearby Ping'an Domain.
Because the monsters of the Dark Forest and the people of the Peaceful Domain have been getting along well for so many years, and everyone has kept to themselves. Moreover, the monks living in the Peaceful Domain came to the territory of the monsters in the Peaceful Domain because they could not stay outside. However, the monsters did not drive them away, which was considered a favor to the monsters. When they learned that the strongest monster saint in the Xuantian Continent actually asked them for help, they naturally felt honored and agreed immediately.
