When the four men met, there was no further ado. Yi Xichen drew his sword and stabbed it fiercely towards the heart of the Beast Alchemy Practitioner!
The beast alchemist retreated in panic, but he was not so agile in the magic mist. When he saw the tip of the sword was about to pierce his chest, he suddenly stopped! Lang Yue suddenly made a move and grabbed Yi Xichen's sword!
Even though he had profound skills, he was still made of flesh and blood. How could he contend with weapons? In an instant, his palms were covered in blood!
Yi Xichen frowned: "Big Wolf!"
But after not seeing him for a day, the red mark on Lang Yue's forehead had turned black, with a hint of red. If they hadn't seen it before, they would have thought that the mark on the Ice Peak Giant Wolf's forehead was originally black.
Lang Yue said: "You can't kill him."
This was true. The Thunder and Fire Bird was suddenly sucked over. If Yi Xichen's sword had gone a little further, the Thunder and Fire Bird would have blocked the sword for its master. Obviously, this was another unlucky bird that had been used as a scapegoat!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "Sword of Protection!"
Yi Xichen quickly recalled the sword and replaced it with the Cangyun Sword, which flew back into the hands of his eldest grandson, Jun! At this point, he could no longer be merciful. If he allowed this evil to continue to run rampant in the Black Mist Forest, he would kill countless people!
Ten sword lights appeared around the eldest grandson Zijun, and they all rushed towards Lang Yue and the Beast Dan Xiu!
The Beast Alchemist immediately hid behind Lang Yue, but saw that the black mist around them quickly became thicker, and the sword light of the eldest grandson Zijun sank into the black mist and disappeared.
Both of them were somewhat surprised. The eldest grandson, Zijun, immediately recalled his sword, but saw a little blood on the blade of the Cangyun Sword. He didn't know whether it was from Lang Yue or the beast Dan Xiu. However, the sudden black mist interrupted his next attack, preventing him from succeeding.
Yi Xichen said: "The big wolf has been possessed by a demon!"
When I saw him before, he had already fallen into a half-demon, half-demon body, but now, the demonic aura on him has faded to the point where it is almost unnoticeable. The red mark between his brows turned black because of this reason. And the sudden black mist was driven by him. In a short period of time, he has reached the point where he can control the demonic mist!
The eldest grandson, Jun, grabbed the Cangyun Sword tightly and said, "We can't keep him here!"
The devil's way is different from the evil way. The evil way is just some inferior magic, and everyone can practice it. The essence of the devil is "plunder". The more powerful the devil's way is, the more things can be plundered. Ordinary cultivators can increase their own cultivation through practice, but after entering the devil's way, they rely entirely on plundering others to gain cultivation.
All kinds of skills are mutually exclusive. Once you practice the devil's way, you will never be able to switch to the right way. And it is not easy for people who practice the right way to switch to the devil's way, unless they give up all their skills and start over, or if they practice the wrong way and become possessed by the devil.
This kind of possession is extremely dangerous, and ordinary people cannot bear it at all. Once it happens, the body will explode and die, and the bones and muscles will be broken. Only a very few people can recover after their bones and muscles are broken, but that is equivalent to a rebirth, and the whole person's flesh and blood, and cultivation will be reshaped. The worst thing is that the mind will inevitably change drastically, the devil energy will invade the mind, and the conscience will be lost, turning into a violent and cruel demon.
Lang Yue has fallen to the last hurdle and is on the verge of going insane!
The eldest grandson used all his sword energy to push back the surrounding black fog, found the two fleeing figures, and chased after them!
When the beast elixir cultivator looked back, he saw his eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen chasing him again. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he shouted, "Lang Yue!"
Lang Yue immediately stood in front of him and shouted violently: "Get out!"
The eldest grandson Jun didn't bother to talk to him, and slashed at the two of them with several sword lights: "You are courting death!"
Lang Yue immediately activated the black mist and barely caught his sword, but was pushed back several steps. His eyes flashed with black energy, and he raised his hand, and several black energy rushed towards his eldest grandson, Jun!
The eldest grandson Jun chopped down the evil spirit with one sword!
Yi Xichen immediately activated his sword skills, ready to cut off the two men's retreat when his eldest grandson Zijun attacked. They had always had a tacit understanding, fighting side by side for many years, and they knew what the other was going to do with just a glance.
However, Yi Xichen had already drawn his sword, but the eldest grandson Zijun was stunned for a moment and moved a little slowly, allowing Lang Yue to find an opening. He took the Beast Pill Cultivator and instantly retreated several steps and ran towards the depths of the black fog.
Yi Xichen quickly held his sword and continued to chase. Only then did the eldest grandson Zijun come back to his senses. The knuckles of his fingers holding the sword turned slightly white due to the force. He said nothing, but focused his mind more and locked his eyes on the two figures moving in the dark mist.
Although the beast elixir cultivator took the initiative to attack them, he only wanted to sneak attack and had no intention of fighting with the eldest grandson, Jun Yi Xichen. His mistake was that he greatly underestimated the two men. Lang Yue tried his best to activate the black mist, but he couldn't get rid of them.
Lang Yue became more and more violent, and suddenly he pushed Dan Xiu, the beast, and said, "Qiao Jue, you go first!" Then he turned around and attacked the two of them!
Qiao Jue was slightly startled and shouted, "Lang Yue, you can't beat them! Go!"
However, he did not mobilize the power of the slave contract. Lang Yue ignored his words and went towards the two of them!
Suddenly, countless black shadows emerged from the black mist and surrounded the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen. These black shadows laughed, cried, shouted, and roared as they pounced on the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen!
The palms of the eldest grandson Jun were slightly sweaty. These shadows had no shape and should not make any sound. What he saw and heard were all his own imagination. And what he heard was the sound of women laughing and cursing. Even those shadows gradually took on human appearance, growing long braids and gradually having eyebrows and eyes...
The eldest grandson Jun shouted angrily, and the sword flashed, instantly cutting off those shadows! Once the sound became clear, once those people's faces took shape, he would not be able to raise his sword again. He had to be quick, and could not give Lang Yue another chance to manipulate the magic mist!
The Cangyun Sword could only cut through the evil spirits, but it kept cutting through the evil spirits. The black shadows were shattered, then gradually condensed and re-formed...
Yi Xichen summoned several fire spells and threw them at the black shadows! The appearance of the black shadows was covered by the flames, which made the eldest grandson Jun feel much better. He abandoned all distracting thoughts, followed the sword, and instantly broke a path in the black mist and rushed towards Lang Yue who was driving the magic mist!
"Lang Yue!" Qiao Jue screamed.
The eldest grandson Jun's Cangyun sword sank into Lang Yue's chest!
"Don't kill him!" Qiao Jue was anxious and angry. He threw a thunder and fire talisman towards his eldest grandson Zijun. However, his eldest grandson Zijun dispersed the weak thunder and fire with just a wave of his hand.
Qiao Jue was not a swordsman, he could not wield the sword, and he relied on Lang Yue to lead him in the Black Mist Forest. As soon as Lang Yue left him, the Thunderbird carried him away. Yi Xichen needed to wield the sword, but could not draw his sword, so he summoned several phantom swords and stabbed at Qiao Jue!
The Thunderbird dodged frantically, trying to hide in the black mist, but Qiao Jue held onto his wings tightly, refusing to let him escape, struggling with Yi Xichen. It was him who had abandoned Lang Yue and fled last time, but today, for some reason, he was talking about friendship.
Lang Yue grabbed the sword that was stuck in his chest, veins popped up on his face, and mist rolled in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and pulled the sword out bit by bit: "Why... do you have to hinder me..."
The sword of the eldest grandson Jun did not hit his vital point, and it still spared a little. He looked at the red spot between Lang Yue's eyebrows that was almost disappearing, and said coldly: "Do you know what you are doing?"
The veins on the back of Lang Yue's hand bulged even more violently, and he whispered, "It's very clear!" He suddenly shouted loudly, and actually pulled the Cangyun Sword out of his chest!
The eldest grandson Jun slapped his head with one palm, intending to knock him out first. Unexpectedly, when his palm touched Lang Yue's brow, a black gas overflowed from Lang Yue's brow and penetrated into the palm of the eldest grandson Jun!
Everyone was stunned. The eldest grandson Jun initially thought that this was a trick played by Lang Yue, and was about to get angry, but he saw that Lang Yue's eyebrows were a little redder than before, and the mist in his eyes was gradually dissipating. Lang Yue's expression was even more shocked than his!
This was not Lang Yue's trick, but his own. He actually absorbed Lang Yue's evil spirit!
When Qiao Jue saw this scene, he was also stunned. He was a little slow in dodging and was pierced in the shoulder by Yi Xichen's sword!
The eldest grandson Zijun was stunned for just a moment, then without hesitation, he placed his palm completely on Lang Yue's forehead, urging his strength to absorb the evil spirit in his body - as for what the consequences would be after he absorbed the evil spirit, he had never thought about it at all.
But I never thought that the angry person was Lang Yue!
He was furious, his eyes were red with anger. He shouted angrily, shook off his eldest grandson Zijun's hand, and rolled on the ground, backing away several steps. The through wound on his chest, which would have hurt his heart if it had been an inch off, was bleeding profusely because of his movements, but he seemed to be completely unaware of the pain, and rushed over to grab Qiao Jue and left!
Qiao Jue covered his pierced shoulder with one hand, worried that his eldest grandson Zijun and the others would chase them again. He untied the bag, and in an instant several dark shadows rushed towards them!
At the same time, a flying sword pierced the eldest grandson Jun's heart from behind!
Yi Xichen immediately cut off the flying sword: "Who?!"
But I saw a dark shadow flash behind me, and before I could see who it was, the person disappeared into the mist.
In front of them were Lang Yue and Qiao Jue, who were fleeing. Behind them were unidentified attackers. Several monsters were approaching them. The surroundings were still filled with thick black fog. The two of them were at a loss for a moment, not knowing where to go. In just a moment of hesitation, Lang Yue and Qiao Jue had already disappeared in the black fog.
Before leaving, Qiao Juelin released several monsters in order to stop them. Now they have rushed to their side and are attacking them!
When they looked closely, they found that the group of monsters released by Qiao Jue were actually the kind they had seen not long ago - the boxing monkey.
Yi Xichen and eldest grandson Zijun: "..."
The eldest grandson Jun was extremely annoyed at the moment. He sheathed his sword and swung it forward with the scabbard. With a few bangs, several boxing monkeys were swept down one after another. Yi Xichen threw an enlarged talisman paper over and caught them all.
"What happened to you just now?" Without caring about anything else, Yi Xichen anxiously pulled up the hand of his eldest grandson, Jun, to check. He was shocked to find that Jun had absorbed Lang Yue's magic energy just now, and he was afraid that Jun would be attacked by the magic energy. However, Jun's palms were red and slightly sweaty, and there was nothing unusual about his body. The magic energy that he had just absorbed seemed to have disappeared inexplicably.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, didn't care about the evil spirit he had sucked away. Instead, he looked blankly at the dark mist around him and asked, "What did those shadows you just saw look like?"
"What does it look like?" Yi Xichen asked, "All I saw was a black shadow, a black shadow that was nothing. What did you see?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, clenched his fist and exhaled slowly: "Sure enough... I saw... my inner demon."
Yi Xichen frowned.
The evil energy around here is so dense that once the evil energy invades the body, it is easy to produce inner demons. However, even Yi Xichen has persisted until now without being invaded by the evil energy, so when did the inner demon of the eldest grandson Zijun grow?
The eldest grandson, Zijun, was just as puzzled as he was. He lowered his head and gently pressed his palm to his heart: "Who planted the demon in my heart?"
When he first entered the Black Mist Forest, he was surrounded by dense demonic energy, and his inner demon had already erupted. He heard sounds that others could not hear and saw things that others could not see. The demonic energy of the Black Mist Forest was just a trigger, and he must have been planted with a demon in his heart before entering the Sea of Nothingness, which is why it suddenly erupted.
"Could this be related to your ability to absorb the wolf's magic? What is your inner demon?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, looked solemn. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "A girl...sister."
Yi Xichen repeated in a daze: "Your sister..." He heard about the eldest grandson Jun's sister again, and this was the first time that the eldest grandson Jun had mentioned her in more than ten years. He suddenly felt that this girl who had not grown up might have a great relationship with the eldest grandson Jun's current evasive attitude towards women.
The eldest grandson Jun supported his forehead and said, "Let's talk about it after we get out. Now is not the time to talk about this."
Yi Xichen asked: "Is your inner demon powerful?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, smiled bitterly: "I don't know."
Yi Xichen groaned. That must be very serious. Zijun's attitude towards women is speechless. If the inner demon erupts to a serious degree and turns into the appearance of that girl, Zijun may not be able to draw his sword at all. However, even if there were some unpleasant things in the past, it is not normal for him to avoid women to this extent.
A thought flashed through Yi Xichen's mind: Zijun's inner demon was probably planted long ago, buried deep in his heart and not discovered. As early as... when that girl was still alive. So for all these years, the eldest grandson Zijun's fear of women was all caused by his inner demon.
"I understand." Yi Xichen said, "Tell me if there is anything wrong. I will deal with the things you can't handle. Let's deal with these guys first." After saying that, he kicked the boxing monkey lying on the talisman paper.
The eldest grandson, Jun, nodded: "Come on."
The two men leaned over and placed their hands on the brows of different boxing monkeys, invading their sea of consciousness.
These boxing monkeys were also indentured by Qiao Jue. The eldest grandson Zijun originally wanted to start with Lang Yue, but unfortunately Lang Yue escaped. Therefore, he could only start with the boxing monkeys to see how Qiao Jue had entered into a slave contract with them in the first place, and perhaps find a way to dissolve it.
As soon as you enter the boxing monkey's sea of consciousness, the scenery in front of you changes drastically. The black fog dissipates, and a beautiful scene of green water and green mountains unfolds like a picture scroll. For Jun, the eldest grandson who has stayed in the sea of nothingness for a whole day, this scenery is simply too beautiful to be taken in.
Several boxing monkeys were wandering among the trees. This was where they were born and trained. Boxing monkeys were low-level monsters that could only train their bodies, not their spirits, and therefore could not transform into human forms. They were born and raised in the mountains, with no one to teach them, but because of their natural talents, they each developed excellent skills and could move between trees as fast as lightning.
A fist monkey flew down from the tree, swinging its huge fist and smashing it against a huge rock!
There was a loud bang, and the dust and ash dispersed. The huge rock that had been standing just now had now turned into a pile of rubble. The boxing monkey jumped into the pile of rubble and turned over. With a look of disappointment on his face, he flew to another huge rock and punched it!
Boxing monkeys have a habit of hiding under large rocks when they have leftover food, and then find it out the next day to continue eating. The more powerful the boxing monkeys are in body training, the bigger the rocks they like to find. If other monkeys can't break the rocks, no one will steal their food. However, boxing monkeys are born with poor brains. After they hide their food, they always forget which rock they hide it under. They hit the rocks one by one, but they don't find the food, but they strengthen their fists.
No wonder such a beautiful forest and stream is covered with gravel, which ruins the scenery.
The scene changed, and a young man with fair face and red lips walked into the woods where the boxing monkeys were. The eldest grandson Zijun recognized him at a glance: it was Qiao Jue!
When their territory was invaded, the boxing monkeys should have attacked Qiao Jue immediately, but they did not do so. Instead, they jumped down from the tree and walked towards Qiao Jue one by one. With the help of the memories in the boxing monkeys' sea of consciousness, the eldest grandson Jun also smelled the same scent that the boxing monkeys smelled at that time - Qiao Jue's body exuded an extremely rich sweet fragrance.
Qiao Jue took out a few white fruits from his sleeves. They were sweet banana fruits produced in the city of the Western Regions. Qiao Jue must have used the method of refining pills to strengthen them, so the sweet fragrance was stronger, strongly attracting those boxing monkeys.
Immediately, several macaques rushed up to grab the fruit. Qiao Jue let go and let the monkeys snatch the fruit away.
The boxing monkeys who had eaten the sweet banana fruit shouted excitedly, while the boxing monkeys who didn't get any became more and more impatient and circled around Qiao Jue.
Qiao Jue was not in a hurry. He took out a few more fruits and distributed them to the monkeys one by one so that each of them could enjoy the delicious food.
After a while, all the monkeys gathered at Qiao Jue's feet. Some rolled around, some pulled his trouser legs, and some climbed onto his shoulders, as if they were acting coquettishly and asking him for more delicious food.
Up to this point, Qiao Jue's behavior was very much like that of an orthodox beast elixir cultivator. The so-called beast elixir cultivators also relied on their ability to refine elixirs to refine things that the monsters liked, or five elements of immortal materials. They provided the monsters with what they needed, and the monsters were willing to work for them.
Qiao Jue asked the monkeys with a smile: "Do you like it? Do you want more?"
The monkeys kept chattering.
Qiao Jue opened his bag, but what he took out was not fruit, but some spiritual stones and immortal materials. He slowly laid out a formation on the ground, stood in the middle of it, and motioned the monkeys to come in.
He pulled out a dagger, cut his finger, and dripped blood onto the spiritual stone in the center of the array. He coaxed, "If you like, I can give you fruits every day. But you have to listen to me and make a covenant with me, okay?"
After all, the boxing monkeys were born as monsters. Although they could not speak human language, they could understand human nature, so they naturally understood. However, they only understood the sentence "I can give you fruits every day", and they all gathered in the formation obediently.
Qiao Jue continued to coax, "It takes sincerity to make a covenant. Are you willing to do it? It doesn't matter. Don't think about anything else. Just think about what those fruits taste like. Drip your blood onto this stone... Very good, that's it!"
I saw red light flashing continuously on the spiritual stone in the center of the formation, and one slave contract after another was formed...
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Zijun immediately withdrew from the boxing monkey's sea of consciousness. He opened his eyes and saw that Yi Xichen had just woken up. The two looked at each other in silence.
If Qiao Jue had not used the evil method of the slave contract, his actions would actually be just the actions of an ordinary beast alchemist. However, these boxing monkeys actually sold themselves into slavery just for a few sweet banana fruits...
Although they were actually very pitiful, the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen looked at these poor little ones... and simply couldn't feel any sympathy for them.
Yi Xichen sighed: "The memories of these monkeys are useless."
Although they saw how the slave contract formation was arranged in the boxing monkey's memory, the contract process was indeed voluntary on both sides, and Qiao Jue did not use other evil techniques, so they could not find the place to break the knot. These monkeys are indeed low in intelligence, but Lang Yue, who is supposed to be a half-immortal, would also be fooled by Qiao Jue. In the process of forming the contract, Qiao Jue may have used some evil magic. As long as they can find that magic, it will be the key to breaking the evil magic.
"We still have to find the big wolf." Yi Xichen said, "I think he seems to have been possessed on purpose."
"Yeah." The eldest grandson Jun nodded in agreement.
He sucked away Lang Yue's demonic energy, clearly to help Lang Yue, but Lang Yue was furious. From what he said, it could be sensed that he seemed to be planning something. But no matter what his plan was, they couldn't just sit back and watch. Once Lang Yue was completely possessed by the devil, not to mention how many people he might harm, at least he himself would have no way to survive - halfway through, he would be possessed by the devil, his bones would be broken and he would be reborn, and his soul would be devoured by the demonic energy. What survived was actually just a monster controlled by the inner demon, and it had little to do with the previous person.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, asked, "Who was the attacker just now? Did you see clearly?"
Yi Xichen shook his head: "The sword just now had no demonic energy or evil spirit. It was a very orthodox sword energy. It should be that one of the guys who came in with us was controlled by the inner demon. He ran away after the sneak attack, probably because he was guilty."
The eldest grandson Jun hummed and said indifferently: "Let's go."
From the sword strike just now, it can be seen that the person who attacked them was not a master and would not pose a threat to them. The most urgent task at the moment is to find Qiao Jue and Lang Yue. Although they are hiding, as long as they are not out of this black fog forest, they can always be found.
