Chapter 142: The Back Road and Swallowing Magic Beads
"Okay, let's get back to the topic, where is Senior Brother Luo?"
After killing the female ghost in white, Han Li immediately looked at Yuan Yao and asked.
"Something happened in the restriction. Liuzu and the others have all fallen!"
When Yuan Yao came up, he dropped a bombshell news, which made Han Li dumbfounded.
"Wait a minute, what Fellow Daoist Yuan means is that all three demon kings are dead?!
Is this the work of Senior Brother Luo?!"
Han Li immediately exclaimed and asked.
This is such a good guy, how could a well-planned escape plan suddenly turn into murder and treasure grabbing?
"It has something to do with my husband, but the ones who really killed the three demon kings were the two possessed puppets that escaped earlier!"
After giving a brief explanation first, Yuan Yao described to Han Li in detail what she saw in the restriction of the divine pool.
"So, Senior Brother Luo is not in danger. He is just finishing the matter at the moment, but"
After hearing Yuan Yao's words, Han Li couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, the three mountains that had been weighing on his heart no longer existed.
But when he thought about it again, he immediately frowned and said in a deep voice:
"No, the female ghost in white attacked us before in the fog formation, and she was the subordinate of those possessed puppets.
She has no good intentions in following you. If those two possessed puppets really have no ill intentions towards Senior Brother Luo, how could they make this arrangement!"
"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Han, that they have no intention of letting us go?"
When Yanli heard this, she immediately realized something was wrong, and a sad look appeared on her face.
"Senior Brother Luo is probably being plotted by those two people. We'd better chase after the demon grave immediately and then help depending on the situation!"
Han Li said with a solemn expression at this moment. After saying that, he would set up the escape light and head towards the Demon Tomb.
"No, fellow Daoist Han, please wait a moment. My husband told us when he was driving us away that we should first remove all the marks on our bodies after we get out of trouble.
Although I don’t know the reason, we’d better not ignore it!”
After making that big mistake three hundred years ago, Yuan Yao no longer dared to despise any of Luo Hong's instructions.
Of course, the mistake that time could not be said to be that Yuan Yao did not follow Luo Hong's instructions at all, but mainly because she had just ascended to the spiritual world a few years ago and did not know the magical powers of the old monster, so she made some misjudgments.
"These marks were left by the three demon kings. Since they are dead, it stands to reason that Senior Brother Luo shouldn't be in a hurry for us to get rid of them, unless it's okay, just as a precaution!"
Han Li touched his chin and muttered to himself, then nodded in agreement.
"To get rid of these marks, we need to use the Wheel of Yin Gathering Formation. We must first find a place where the Yin Qi is strong enough."
Yanli said very seriously at the moment.
Since they still care about Luo Hong, the three of them naturally won't mess around with anything at the moment. As soon as they reached a consensus, they flew towards the horizon together.
Not long ago, on a barren mountain somewhere in the Yingu Mountains, there was a sudden sound of rolling earth and rocks.
I saw a black flower bud emerging from the ground, and then quietly bloomed, revealing the figure of a woman.
"They actually went to the Demon Graveyard, were they passing by, or were they going to the Demonic Weapons?"
There is no doubt that this woman is Mu Qing who used secret techniques to escape the disaster!
In fact, she reunited with her true body a hundred miles away from the restricted area of the Divine Pond shortly after her false body was beheaded. However, the scene of the six legs being easily killed was too horrifying, until Luo Hong and the other three had gone away most of the time.
Only then did she dare to show up.
"No, this matter must be clarified!"
Thinking of the orb in the Demon Tomb, Mu Qing still couldn't let it go, and said with a stern look on his face.
Immediately, she escaped down the mountain peak and came to a nearby valley.
After carefully investigating and confirming that there were no ghosts lurking in the valley, she immediately shook her sleeves and threw out many fist-sized green light balls.
These light groups quickly fell all over the valley, and as soon as they touched the ground, they were all submerged and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Mu Qing first stood his feet slightly apart, then pinched the magic formula with both hands, and his lower body immediately turned into a piece of green wood in a flash of inspiration.
Immediately afterwards, the magic formula in Mu Qing's hand changed, and Qingmu's lower body quickly stretched out many milky white roots and drilled into the nearby ground.
The next moment, the entire valley shook violently amidst Mu Qing's chanting, and emerald green saplings sprouted out of the ground where they were originally submerged in the green light mass.
In just a few breaths, these saplings grew wildly into towering trees with a height of tens of feet, and the tree crowns seemed to be covered with a canopy, floating with a thick and emerald green spiritual light.
At this time, Mu Qing pointed his sword and fired a spell at one of the big trees, which immediately caused the tree's green canopy to shoot out mana light beams of the same color in six different directions.
And any big tree hit by these mana light beams will also undergo exactly the same changes.
So in just a moment, all the big trees in the valley established contact with each other, and their green canopies gradually began to fluctuate at a certain frequency, and soon a stable flow of spiritual energy was formed.
This means the establishment of a large formation!
After seeing the formation running stably, Mu Qing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, then suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a milky white ball.
This bead is only the size of an egg, with strange golden patterns all over its surface. It is slightly transparent, and you can see a vague tree shadow inside.
"This is a dangerous place. I can't take my body with me. It's safest to stay here."
As if to convince himself, Mu Qing muttered to himself before stretching out a jade finger and lightly tapping the ball.
There was only a soft "bang" sound, and the bead immediately spurted out a large stream of blue clouds. It rolled towards the nearby ground, and a huge black pine tree was revealed, half hidden.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qing immediately used his fingers to shoot multiple spells in succession, making the tree firmly rooted in place.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Qing opened his mouth again and spit out a drop of emerald green blood essence.
The next moment, the essence and blood was driven into a slightly bulging part of the tree trunk.
And as two green light beams came in one after another, the bulge suddenly lit up with a dazzling green light, and gradually transformed into a twisted ape face!
"Wake up quickly!"
When Mu Qing saw this, he immediately let out a soft drink.
As if hearing the shout, the ape face suddenly opened its eyes, and then with a "click" sound, the bulge broke apart, and an old golden-haired ape sprang out from it.
Judging from its appearance, this ape is clearly the golden spirit, the old slave of the wood spirit.
However, this old ape apparently died while being cleaned by the purple-armored puppets about an hour ago, and now he has come back to life!
"See Master!"
As soon as the golden-haired old ape appeared, he knelt down to greet him.
"Get up, your body has fallen, and now you are the golden spirit."
Mu Qing was a little sad. After all, the golden-haired old ape was the only existence she could trust. It was a pity that the original body fell.
However, this weak emotion only stayed in Mu Qing's heart for a moment, and then she gave the order to the other party to take good care of her own body and take her back to the abyss if anything went wrong.
"Master, please forgive me for talking too much. Those two possessed puppets can kill Liu Zu and Lord Lan, so Master is no match for them.
Besides, the master has to go to a place like the Demon Tomb. Now that Mr. Han has died without seeing his body, and there is no evil-proof thunder to clear the way, it is really extremely dangerous!"
"How could I not know this, but the power contained in the bead I saw in the Demon Tomb last time is not only very similar to my original power, but it is also ten times as pure and quantitative as my original body.
Several times as much!
In other words, as long as I refine it, my original power will increase accordingly. Not only will it be easy to break through the current realm, but I will even enter a higher level and become a truly carefree existence in the spiritual world.
It is also very possible!
Therefore, Mr. Jin, you don’t need to persuade me. Such an opportunity is worth risking my life.
Anyway, as long as the main body is not damaged, I can sleep for a thousand years at most before I can reunite my spiritual body in my main body and reappear in this world!"
Mu Qing's eyes were very firm as he said.
"Old slave, I understand. If something unexpected happens, I will risk my life and bring my master's body back to the abyss!"
The golden-haired old ape looked very solemn and said seriously.
"Well, your body only has the cultivation level of a junior spiritual commander. You can use these two spiritual treasures to protect yourself. I will go now!"
Mu Qing didn't want to stay here for too long. After throwing out an Aoki mirror and two daggers, he released the wooden transformation of his lower body and arrived outside the Aoki Zhoutian Formation in a flash.
Immediately, she turned into a blue rainbow and fled at full speed in the direction where Luo Hong and the others disappeared.
As soon as Mu Qing left, the golden-haired old ape decisively activated the magical power of Qingmu's Zhoutian Formation, causing it to disappear in a few blurs and turn back into the original barren valley.
A few days later, in the sky above the Land of Styx, three rays of light pierced the sky and sped past, bringing a hint of movement to this dead world.
Suddenly, a human voice came from the purple light on the left:
"Little friend Luo, we are almost there, the Demon Tomb is right in front."
Because there were two possessed puppets opening the way, they were not attacked by the Styx demons along the way, so they started out very quickly. In just a few days, they escaped from the Yingu Mountains and arrived near the Demon Tomb.
And Luo had already noticed this. After all, the concentration of demonic energy in the surrounding space had begun to increase dramatically not long ago.
When he heard the words, he did not respond loudly, but used his eyes to look forward.
Turning his eyes, Luo Hong's gaze immediately traveled across thousands of rivers and mountains, and saw a horrifying scene of doomsday.
Thousands of miles away, he saw an astonishingly large mass of demonic energy slowly rotating almost continuously.
Perhaps its general shape is a short, fat cone, which looks like a black tomb from a distance, so it got the name "Devil's Tomb".
"Why, my little friend, are you scared? As I said before, as long as you follow us closely, this Demon Tomb will only look dangerous."
Seeing Luo Hong's lack of response, the three-eyed puppet in the cyan light on the right thought he was backing down again, so he immediately spoke to comfort him.
Afraid?
To be honest, Luo Hong is really not afraid.
Because the strange thing is that Luo Hong, like Mu Qing, had already arranged a way out for himself before coming to the Demon Tomb.
Calculating the time, Old Demon Han should have almost eliminated the marks on his body, which means that the Yin Qi gathered by the Wheel-turning Yin Gathering Formation is almost the same.
The Land of Styx is the holy land of the Mayfly Clan, so if a foreign Mahayana like Qing Yuanzi wants to use this place to avoid disaster, he must pay a huge price.
Sometimes, the price also includes working for the Mayfly Clan, so Qing Yuanzi took over the job of balancing the Yin Qi in the land of Styx.
The land of Styx is the space inside Rahu's body, which is equivalent to his stomach.
Just like the previous discussion about how the earth was born, even if Rahu died, his "stomach" would absorb the turbid air from the surrounding heaven and earth on its own.
Part of this turbid gas will overflow into the abyss of the earth, while the other part will enter the land of the Styx after being initially refined.
But because Rahu is dead, the Yin Qi that was initially refined has no subsequent destination, and will accumulate more and more, eventually causing the entire Land of Styx to collapse.
Therefore, Qing Yuanzi's responsibilities are very important. As long as there are drastic changes in yin energy in the Land of the Styx, especially those gathering phenomena, he will activate the Seven Door Locking Yin Formation to adjust it.
And together with this formation, Han Laomo and the others are bound to be dragged into Qing Yuanzi's cave.
Needless to say what happens next, Qing Yuanzi will definitely discover Yuan Yao's Tianyin body and reveal the true situation of the Demon Tomb.
"If I haven't escaped from the Demon Tomb by then, Yao'er will definitely beg Qing Yuanzi to rescue me.
With the existence of a backup plan and my evil-dispelling divine thunder, even if the worst happens, I can still hold on until the time of rescue!"
Luo Hong thought to himself at the moment.
"Since we are all here, this junior will not retreat from the battle. I just don't know what treasures the two seniors have prepared to ward off demons."
"Haha, my little friend, this is a magic-swallowing bead, a spiritual treasure that can swallow demonic energy.
Its internal space is huge, and within its envelope, it is not difficult for us to stay in the Demon Tomb for ten days and a half."
The purple-armored puppet chuckled when he heard this, and immediately turned his palm and took out a dark orb.
Then, after hesitating for a moment, he threw the bead to Luo Hong and said again:
"I know that little friend does not completely trust me and Brother Bixu, so I will keep this demon-swallowing bead for you."
Although it was not prudent to use other people's spiritual treasures indiscriminately, Luo Hong could be sure that these two people would not harm him directly, so he did not hesitate at the moment and took a closer look after taking it.
However, after just one glance, Luo Hong suddenly felt a burning pain in his eyebrows, and the golden vertical lines suddenly lit up.
Fortunately, although there was something abnormal, there was no aura coming out, so the two possessed puppets that I had been using my spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings were not found at all.
"Huh! What was that just now? Xuantian Jinyan actually reacted to this bead!"
Luo Hong suppressed the shock in her heart and started thinking with flashing eyes.
