After Xiang Yu secretly complained in his heart, he soon began to think about the six demonic sects preparing to invade Yue Kingdom.
Xiang Yu was not surprised by this news, because in the original plot, the six sects of the Demonic Dao had invaded Yue Kingdom, and the seven major sects of the Demonic Dao Kingdom were no match for the Six sects of the Demonic Dao Kingdom.
In addition to the Lingbeast Mountain, the Yanyue Sect, the strongest comprehensive strength among the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom, also has a lot to do with the six demonic paths. The Yanyue Sect is a branch of the Hehuan Sect among the six demonic paths.
However, the Yanyue Sect is different from the Lingbeast Mountain. After years of development, the Yanyue Sect has begun to establish its own business and completely cut off relations with the Hehuan Sect.
Even the strongest Yanyue Sect in Yue Kingdom is just a branch of Hehuan Sect, which is enough to illustrate the gap between the six demonic sects and the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiang Yu still dismissed the news that the six demonic sects were preparing to invade Yue Kingdom.
Even if Xiang Yu reveals this news, with the strength of the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom, it is impossible to be an opponent of the Six Sects of the Demonic Dao. At most, it will only take some precautions in advance.
Unless the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom directly abandon their sect bases and turn to other countries for development, they will inevitably fight against the six sects of the Demonic Way.
Deep in Xiang Yu's heart, he was actually looking forward to a war between the six demon sects and the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom. As long as the two sides fight, there will inevitably be many casualties, he can take the opportunity to collect the souls of the fallen cultivators.
After Xiang Yu made a decision in his heart, he hid the news silently in his heart, and then set off directly to the deep mountains outside Jiayuan City.
In order to prevent the golden-backed mantra from catching mortals for food, thus attracting the encirclement of high-level monks from Yue Kingdom, before Shi Zhong's soul left his body, he specifically instructed the golden-backed mantra to only prey on wild animals in the deep mountains for a living, and at the same time, he also had to protect the cave where his body was.
It is precisely because of this that the people of Jiayuan City have not been harassed by the Golden-Backed Demon. Otherwise, the Golden-Backed Demon, who had lost his master's control, would have already washed away the entire Jiayuan City.
Under Shi Zhong's guidance, Xiang Yu quickly rushed to the cave where the Golden-Backed Demon is located and also saw the Golden-Backed Demon that was devouring prey.
The golden-backed manta is not too big. It is only more than three meters tall and looks pitch black on the outside, but the color on the back is dark golden. It has a head as big as a washbasin on its tiny neck, and two fists-sized eyes emit a green and cold light.
At this time, the golden-backed manta was using two claws that looked like a sickle to quickly cut the prey in front of him, and ate the flesh and blood of the prey.
Xiang Yu stood on a branch hundreds of meters away, looking at the golden-backed dung who was eating from a distance, and couldn't help asking Shi Zhong beside him: "Shi Zhong, can you still control it now?"
Shi Zhong shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "Master, after his soul left his body, he had lost control of the golden-backed demon. If I were still a human body now, I might be able to subdue it again, but my current appearance and breath are completely different from before my lifetime, and it would be impossible for him to recognize me."
All monsters that can be driven by monks have been restricted since childhood and have been tamed bit by bit. They want to take a powerful spirit beast that they are not fed by themselves for nothing. This is simply a daydream.
If it weren't for Shi Zhong's soul leaving his body and losing control of the golden-backed demon, he wouldn't have taken the risk of sneaking into the Mo Mansion to seize the body of the Iron Nu's zombie body, nor would he end up like this now.
When Xiang Yu heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his sword's eyes and said, "Since that's the case, you can only kill it and then transform its soul into a great void."
"Master, the Golden-Backed Demon is best at speed. Even the late-stage cultivator of the Ordinary Killing Pill cannot be faster than it. Their subordinates were able to escape from the old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, thanks to the Golden-Backed Demon's speed being fast enough, so if you want to kill it, you must find a way to limit its range of movement first."
Although the blurred Shi Zhong could no longer control the golden-backed mantle, he knew very well about the golden-backed mantle's habits and quickly came up with an idea for Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu heard Shi Zhong's words, he also gave up the idea of letting Nangong Wan and the others join forces to siege the golden-backed demon, but summoned Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao from the virtual circle, allowing the couple to join forces to set up a "Inverted Five Elements Formation".
The reversed Five Elements Formation is also called the "Small Forbidden Formation". Apart from the small area covered and the lack of active killing of the enemy, its effect of concealing the mountain gate and confusing the enemy is no worse than the protection formations of those major sects.
In fact, Xin Ruyin had already started studying the "Inverted Five Elements Array" more than ten years ago, but she was just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and her financial and material resources were seriously insufficient, so she could only arrange a broken version of the "Inverted Five Elements Array", which could only exert one-tenth of her true power.
Since Xin Ruyin's soul was taken into the void circle by Xiang Yu, in order to completely develop her talent in formation, Xiang Yu has provided her with various array materials, so she had completely improved the "Inverted Five Elements Formation" more than a year ago.
Although the complete "Inverted Five Elements Formation" is not very lethal, it is extremely powerful in trapping the enemy, and can even trap the Nascent Soul cultivator for a while.
After Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao set up the "Five Elements Formation", Xiang Yu ordered Shi Zhong beside him: "Shi Zhong, go and lead it into the formation."
"Abide by the order!"
After Shi Zhong finished speaking, his body suddenly turned into a shadow and shot out. He opened his mouth and spit out a small green sword about an inch long, and shot towards the golden-backed manta who was eating.
"bite!"
Just as the green sword was about to shoot the golden-backed manta, a black shadow suddenly slashed out like lightning and knocked the green sword out directly.
The golden-backed manta hates being disturbed when eating the most, so it used its knife arm to knock Shi Zhong's natal magic weapon "Green Sword", and then directly turned into a afterimage and rushed towards the blurred Shi Zhong.
Shi Zhong, who knew the character of the golden-backed demon, turned around and flew towards the direction where the "Five Elements Formation" was located when he saw the Luhuang Sword being knocked away.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
Under Shi Zhong's temptation, the Golden-backed Demon with limited spiritual intelligence broke into the "Inverted Five Elements Array" without any warning, and the range of activity was directly reduced to a radius of ten meters.
"Lock!"
Seeing this, Nangong Wan waved her jade arm, and the Vermilion Bird ring on her wrist flew out, instantly increasing to several meters in diameter. Then she was put on the golden-backed manta like lightning, tightly locking its upper body and two extremely sharp knife arms.
