At the foot of the Flame Mountain, fifteen demon cultivators dressed in black and black robes were staring intently at the sea of fire in front of them.
They wandered around for many days, looking for the best way to enter.
A few days ago, they accidentally encountered the demon clan. In order to avoid causing trouble, they could only repel the opponent since they could not completely annihilate the demon clan.
But they knew very well that these escaped fourth-order monsters would not give up. Perhaps, more fourth-order monsters would come here soon.
Therefore, they have little time and must find a way to enter the Flame Mountain before more big monsters come.
This is a task assigned to them by the leader. As disciples of the Holy Demon Cult, they must complete it. As for who the leader is, he is naturally a human spy who was bewitched by the demons.
In the Holy Demon Cult, both the leader and ordinary disciples wear black clothes and robes, and they must hide their identities as much as possible in front of outsiders.
The so-called Holy Demon Sect has never disclosed its existence. In the current world of immortality, no one knows about the existence of the Holy Demon Sect.
This is related to their always low-key style. As long as they don't go out to cause trouble and try their best to hide themselves, naturally no one will know.
This time, they came to the Flame Mountain because the leader gave an order requiring them to complete the task.
Hundreds of years ago, they came from various major sects and were once nine-level monks with no hope of promotion. It was the leader who helped them advance to the Nascent Soul realm.
In exchange, they must join the Holy Demon Cult and serve the Holy Demon Cult. At the same time, they must be willing to be controlled and never betray the Holy Demon Cult.
Three of them did not stay in the secret place of the Holy Demon Sect. Instead, they returned to their respective sects and lurked quietly to collect intelligence for the Holy Demon Sect.
The methods of demonic cultivators are very different from those of ordinary immortal cultivators, but if they deliberately hide themselves and do not use demonic cultivators, it will not be easy to discover them.
There has never been a demonic cultivator in the world of immortality cultivation, and no one would think about it in this regard.
"The flames here are considered the weakest, so enter from here!"
A black-robed demon cultivator of the ninth level of Nascent Soul blinked his sinister eyes and issued an order.
"Yes, Ninth Elder."
All the black-robed demon cultivators saluted and agreed, and took out a bell-shaped spiritual treasure.
"Ninth Elder, the fire shelter is too small to accommodate fifteen people."
A Nascent Soul sixth-level demon cultivator looked at the leading ninth elder of the Holy Demon Sect with a worried expression.
Before setting off, he actually failed to check the size of the equipment, which was really dereliction of duty.
Hearing this, the Ninth Elder did not blame him. He thought for a moment, looked at three of them, and ordered: "You three stay outside to respond.
If you encounter a large number of monsters, then return to your respective sects first and leave us alone."
The reason for this arrangement was that he was not familiar with these three people and was afraid that they would do something bad.
The three of them have the lowest status, and their cultivation levels are all in the early stage of Nascent Soul, so they naturally dare not say anything. Besides, the Flame Mountain is so dangerous, and they are not willing to go in.
In this way, twelve Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators, protected by the fire shield spirit treasure, stepped into the Flame Mountain step by step to complete their mission.
The flames in the Flame Mountain are very hot and are called sky fire by the local demon clan.
Therefore, even with the protection of the fire shelter, the twelve demon cultivators still felt very uncomfortable and had difficulty breathing.
However, this is the order of the leader of the Holy Demon Cult, and they must obey it, otherwise, the leader can kill them with just a thought.
A few days later, Ximen Changqing and dozens of big demons arrived at the outskirts of the Flame Mountain.
In order to avoid being discovered by the demon cultivators, they hid themselves and only sent out a few big demons to disperse the investigation situation so as to know themselves and the enemy.
Half a day later, the investigating demons returned one after another, bringing back news that surprised everyone.
"There are fifteen demon cultivators, twelve are missing, and there are only three left. What happened?"
"Have those twelve people already entered the Flame Mountain?"
"No way! The fire was too hot that day, how did they get in?"
"If they had used foreign objects, it would have been possible for them to get in."
"This is an opportunity to kill those three guys first."
"That's right, kill those three guys first."
All the great demons were talking about it, and they quickly made a decision. They should concentrate their efforts to kill three demon cultivators first, and it would be best to force out the remaining demon cultivators as to what they were doing in the Flame Mountain.
Facing the three demon cultivators in the early stage of Nascent Soul, the great demons had an absolute advantage and there was no need to wait for reinforcements from behind.
"There are only three demon cultivators, do we still want to take action?"
Xiao Ju looked at Ximen Changqing and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
"You don't have to take action, but I must take action. I will search for souls and see what these demon cultivators are up to."
Ximen Changqing made up his mind to find a demon cultivator to search for his soul.
The Flame Mountain is so dangerous, but these demonic cultivators have worked tirelessly to explore it. There must be some big secret.
"Boy, I have a very bad feeling, there seems to be danger approaching."
"It's been seven days. Could it be that those monster beasts have come back to take revenge?"
"It's very dangerous here. There's no need for us to stay. The Ninth Elder also said that if you encounter a monster that you can't deal with, you can leave at any time.
Whether we encounter a large number of monsters or not is not up to us, so do we still need to stay here?"
"I also feel the danger. Let's return to the sect separately! This is the order of the ninth elder. We have not disobeyed the order of the leader."
The three Nascent Soul demon cultivators could not wait for the Ninth Elder and his party to come out. At the same time, they also noticed the dangerous atmosphere around them and planned to return to their sects.
However, they should have left earlier. It was too late to leave now.
"Three fellow Taoists, you are well and well! Lao Niu is back!
"Old Niu, don't talk nonsense to them and do something."
"Kill, leave no one behind."
Ximen Changqing appeared together with all the great demons and immediately launched a fierce attack.
When the three demon cultivators saw this, they knew they were invincible and fled away without hesitation.
"If you want to run away, there's no way."
All the big demons swarmed up and attacked with various spells, blocking all the three people from escaping.
Unexpectedly, the three of them were well prepared and used the defensive Lingbao to withstand the attack. They blocked the first wave of attacks and broke through the first layer of encirclement.
However, they were quickly intercepted by the big monsters in the second layer of encirclement, and more attacks swept in.
"puff……"
"Blood Shadow Escape..."
The three demon cultivators were also decisive. After being injured, they directly used escape techniques. One of them escaped to the south, one to the north, and one to the west.
They performed it so fast that none of the big demons had time to intercept it.
"Damn it, scatter and chase them. We must catch them."
The great demons did not expect that these three demon cultivators could escape in an instant, and they dispersed in pursuit in anger.
They all know that the magic cultivator's escape technique can cause great harm to the body. If they can catch up, they can kill them more easily.
Ximen Changqing also chased after him, but he sped up and left all the big demons behind.
This surprised the big demons who were chasing him together.
After completely getting rid of these big demon queens, Ximen Changqing directly launched his shuttle and galloped as fast as possible.
He believed that the escaped demon cultivator would not stay where he was after the Blood Shadow Escape, but would definitely continue to escape. If he did not catch up as soon as possible, it would be difficult to find him.
Following the direction of the blood light, he chased for 50,000 miles continuously, using all his strength to sense the aura of the demon cultivator along the way. As long as the other party did not deliberately hide it, there would be no way to hide it.
Even if the demon cultivator escapes from blood again, it will still leave behind traces and aura, and he only needs to follow these traces to hunt him down.
"The aura of demonic power is so strong, this should be the landing point."
Ximen Changqing felt happy and quickly descended.
At the same time, the demon cultivator who was recovering from his injuries also discovered the traces of Ximen Changqing. He was greatly surprised and did not understand how the other party caught up with him so quickly.
He originally planned to recover from his injuries, clean up the aura nearby, and then continue to escape, but he didn't expect to be caught up directly.
"Escape!"
The demon cultivator took out a fourth-level earth escape talisman and escaped directly underground.
At this time, his injuries have not recovered. If he uses Blood Shadow Escape again, it will cause too much damage to his body. It is better to escape underground.
If the opponent does not have the magical power to escape from the earth, or does not have the talisman to escape from the earth, he can get a chance to breathe.
Unfortunately, he was very unlucky. Ximen Changqing's ground escape technique was not very powerful, so he chased after him directly.
"Hiding underground is really asking for death. Xiaojin, Xiaoyin, please help."
Ximen Changqing released two spiritual pets who were good at escape techniques and pursued them with him.
"Damn it, you chased me so fast!"
The more the demon cultivator chased, the more panicked he became. At this time, he had already gone deep underground. Even if he took the risk of using Blood Shadow Escape, the effect would be greatly reduced, and he would not be able to escape very far at all.
"Fellow Taoist, where are you planning to escape?"
Soon, Ximen Changqing, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Yin went from three directions to stop the demon cultivator who was underground.
"Fellow Taoist is also a human race. Why colluded with the demon race? It is really a shame for the human race."
The demon cultivator was furious and came up with a series of moral condemnations.
"Haha! The human race and the demon race have formed an alliance a long time ago. Don't you know, fellow Taoist? But it is the fellow Taoist who is actually the lackey of the demon race. This is the shame of the human race!"
Ximen Changqing retorted, staring intently at the demon cultivator in black clothes and robes.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of demon!"
The demon cultivator was wearing a mask, and his expression could not be seen, but his eyes flickered, which showed that he was guilty at first glance.
"As a demon cultivator, fellow Taoist, don't you know that what you practice is a demon's technique?"
"you wanna die!"
The demon cultivator's eyes moved, and he immediately took out the magic weapon he had prepared and surrendered to Ximen Changqing.
"when……"
A golden gourd blocked the attack of the magic weapon, and a little golden doll appeared in front of the magic cultivator.
Soon, red, green, purple... a total of eight little dolls appeared.
"This is your Nascent Soul. How can you have eight Nascent Souls?"
The demon cultivator was frightened for a moment and instinctively retreated.
"Nascent Soul? Brothers, set up the formation!"
Huo Wa shouted loudly, and quickly deployed the Immortal Gourd Seven Star Array in the underground space, trapping the demon cultivator who wanted to escape.
"Demon Suppression Tower, fall!"
Ximen Changqing took out the Lingbao Demon Suppression Tower and suppressed the demon cultivator tightly, making him unable to move.
In the end, the demon cultivator who had exhausted his strength was taken into the Demon Suppression Tower and endured the wash of rolling lightning strikes.
"The demons' methods are vicious. I'm afraid that searching for souls will encounter unexpected dangers, and there is a possibility that I won't get anything. It seems that I can only read minds."
Ximen Changqing decided to use mind-reading skills, which was safer but consumed a lot of soul.
After consuming a full 70% of his soul, Ximen Changqing finally read the memory of the demon cultivator, and his tired forehead was covered with sweat.
Using mind-reading skills on someone with the same level of cultivation will more or less cause backlash, which makes his soul very uncomfortable.
After swallowing a few recovery pills, Ximen Changqing's face softened slightly and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He guessed right. There is the most terrifying restriction in the soul of the demon cultivator. As long as someone tries to search for the soul, it will immediately self-destruct and severely damage the searching soul.
Fortunately, Ximen Changqing was more cautious and used the most mysterious mind-reading skills to get the information he wanted.
This demonic cultivator's name is Zhuang Mengfan. He is a third-level Nascent Soul cultivator and is an elder of the Tiansha Sect.
At that time, due to insufficient qualifications, he was not qualified to compete for the Infant Transformation Pill, so he wasted more than a hundred years on the ninth level of the Pill Formation.
I thought that in this life, I would die of old age and become immortal. Unexpectedly, I met a noble man, the third elder of the Holy Demon Sect.
The third elder told him that as long as he joined the Holy Demon Cult, he could be promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm. The condition was that he was willing to be controlled by the Holy Demon Cult and follow him for the rest of his life.
No monk is willing to leave life and death to others, but for Zhuang Mengfan, who has no hope of Nascent Soul, life span is not enough. If he can advance to the realm of Nascent Soul, he can bear any price.
After secretly joining the Holy Demon Cult, the third elder fulfilled his promise and helped him advance to the Nascent Soul realm. At the same time, he gave him demon cultivation techniques and magic weapons, and told him not to expose his identity unless absolutely necessary.
In this way, Zhuang Mengfan successfully gained the trust of his fellow disciples of the Tiansha Sect and became an elder of the Tiansha Sect by claiming that he encountered an ancient monk's cave during his travels and was unexpectedly promoted to a spiritual creature.
In order to avoid exposing his flaws and to practice the demonic skills, Zhuang Mengfan has been living in seclusion, spending most of his time in his cave, and his disciples rarely see him.
This time, it was the ninth elder of the Holy Demon Sect who was going to the Flame Mountain to perform a mission. The Tiansha Sect was not far from the Flame Mountain, so they sent him a message asking him to come and help.
As for the ninth elder of the Holy Demon Sect, he didn't know much about why he wanted to go to the Flame Mountain. It probably had something to do with Emperor Yan.
It seems to be a very powerful heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. In the hands of the Void Refining monk, it is enough to severely damage the sixth-level demons and kill the fifth-level demons.
Of course, in the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be great to be able to exert one thousandth of the power of the Tongtian Lingbao, but this is enough to threaten the fifth-level powerhouse.
"Magical weapon, spiritual weapon, magic weapon, spiritual treasure, heaven-reaching magic weapon, heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, this treasure related to Emperor Yan is actually a sixth-level weapon, the standard equipment of the Void Refining monks."
Ximen Changqing took a deep breath, carefully digested all the details, and made some inferences.
"Yes, Emperor Yan has a tenth-grade fire spirit root. His spells and weapons are all related to fire. This heaven-reaching spiritual treasure is naturally of fire attribute.
The formation of the Flame Mountain may be related to this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. The twelve demon cultivators ventured into the Flame Mountain for this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure."
When Ximen Changqing thought that there was a fire-attributed spiritual treasure in the Flame Mountain, he could not calm down for a long time.
I’m afraid the monks who transform themselves into gods will be upset after hearing about such a level of treasure! If you like Ximen Immortal Clan, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Ximen Immortal Clan Search Novel Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
