While Shen Mo was racing against time to increase his combat power, Waizui and other six evil cultivators also got a lot of information about the trading of heavenly materials and earthly treasures within a small circle of powerful demons.
One day later, the crooked evil cultivator and others returned to the unknown hill one after another, and reported all the information they had learned to the "Ancestor Blood Demon"!
Shen Mo would not pin all sources of information on these Yaksha Dao disciples.
In addition to these six people, he also put the soul-splitting curse seal on ten ordinary evil cultivator soul generals, controlled them to explore the surroundings of Jinguang Ridge, relied on them to collect information, and exchanged information with other evil cultivator demons!
Not sending out the mutated demon soul general was due to Shen Mo's cautious nature...
There are many powerful heavenly demons coming from the Offshore Demon Cave and Black Mountain Town Demon Cave to participate in the feast. It is easy to attract their attention by sending out demon generals mixed with the aura of the demons.
Similarly, there were forty or fifty extraterrestrial demons who died at his hands, and they were all refined into ordinary soul generals.
He also issued a strict order to prohibit the more powerful demon souls in the banner from swallowing them. At this time, none of them have condensed!
…
After listening to the reports from Waizui Xiexiu and others, as well as the findings from the ten soul generals' investigations, Shen Mo had a better understanding of the situation here.
At present, the demons who come to Jinguang Ridge to participate in the grand event can be roughly divided into three classes!
On the first level, there are naturally the fourth-order and above great monsters such as Wanyan. They gather at the top of Jinguang Ridge. This area cannot be detected by the five senses, as if it is covered with a layer of fog.
As for the evil cultivators, there should be no evil cultivators in the Red Flame Territory who have condensed the Yuan Dan and become strong in the Yuan Dan realm.
Therefore, at the top of Jinguang Ridge, there are all extremely vicious extraterrestrial races that harm immortals and customs. Whether the initiator of the event is among them, except for the big demon on the top, no one else knows.
Shen Mo didn't want to deal with the big demons of this class, lest they find out their true nature and put himself in an extremely dangerous situation!
The second level is the spiritual sea realm evil cultivators and third-level extraterrestrial beings. There are also quite a few of them.
Because demons are cruel and murderous by nature, with extremely strong desires, and evil cultivators cannot deal with each other very well, between evil cultivators and outsiders, and between outsiders and outsiders.
Therefore, it is not very realistic to want them to coexist peacefully.
Even though there are top-notch monsters suppressing them, Jinguang Ridge and nearby mountains are still full of intrigues and bloody fights.
As a result, many local evil cultivators and foreign demons, like Shen Mo, found other hills to stay and connected with each other, forming intricate small circles.
There are not many stalls set up on the mountainside and foot of Jinguangling Mountain!
The target of Shen Mo's transaction is the evil cultivators of this class, especially those who are at the late third level or above. They have the ability to obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and are also suitable for Shen Mo's killers.
The lowest level is naturally Qi-gathering evil cultivators like the Crooked Mouth evil cultivator, as well as second-level extraterrestrial beings.
They are the most numerous, but most of them can't produce anything good.
If you have trading needs, there is no need to deliberately look for buyers and sellers, just set up a stall in Jinguangling!
Previously, Shen Mo's Pure Yang True Fire burned and killed the most demons of this class.
The body-forging realm evil cultivators and first-order extraterrestrial beings are not even qualified to come here to participate in the grand event; unless they are accompanied by a stronger person, otherwise they will be eaten alive by other monsters if they get closer to Jinguang Ridge!
After Shen Mo thought for a while, he controlled his soul to generate a cloud of evil spirit, rolled it up on his body, and flew towards the planned location.
The demons in the second level are also strong and weak. The peak of the third level and the early stage of the spiritual sea realm are not the same... Therefore, the first place Shen Mo went to was the "smoke monster" clan outside the territory. Several of them
It is located in the late third level, where the peak powerhouses settle down.
The smoke monster, as the name suggests, is a strange existence like smoke;
Before coming to Jinguang Ridge, Shen Mo had also killed a late third-order powerhouse from their clan!
But its shape was weird, so after breaking it apart, Shen Mo didn't get its body, and it didn't even refine its soul into a soul general.
This kind of creature, whose shape is like a wisp of smoke, can transform into various living and dead creatures at will; when dealing with other creatures, it likes to transform into the "beauty" of the opposite sex in the other tribe, so as to obtain a good sensory impression.
.
But as long as you have dealt with them a few times, you will know how heartless and crazy this tribe is!
Their method of cultivation is to absorb the thoughts, emotions, and desires of other living beings. The purer and stronger their seven emotions and six desires become, the more they like it.
Therefore, the creatures of the smoke monster family like to torture and play with other creatures.
Not to mention human fairy customs, even demons with "pure desires" can play tricks on them if they fall into their hands.
Smoke monsters and demons will "devil dye" the demons and "swallow blood food" to strengthen their desires. They will carefully prepare suitable blood food for the demons, and then use various methods to arouse their desires and pull them repeatedly; or they will transform into
The appearance of high-level demons, giving them a series of orders that go against the nature of demons, etc.!
Not to mention if human cultivators fall into their hands, the smoke monsters and demons will try every means to arouse "joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, and evil" in the monks' hearts. The more extreme and strong these emotions are, the more powerful they can be.
To strengthen itself more and more;
It will almost never give up until its tormented soul collapses and its consciousness is wiped out!
When Shen Mo came to Zhongzhou, the smoke monster he encountered turned a human town into a playground.
Tens of thousands of men, women, and children in the town were all manipulated by it, and staged scenes of human tragedy and joy...
As ordinary people can imagine, things that can make people happy, angry, sad, pitiful, fearful, disgusting, and indulgent can all be seen in this small town!
Shen Mo relied on a firm Taoist heart, as well as the two magical arts of the Soul Meditation Sutra and the Heart Sutra of the Great Sun Tathagata, to resist the smoke monster's methods of playing with people's hearts and damaging the soul, and finally killed him.
The body and soul were completely dispersed like smoke.
After the smoke monster was killed, many of the remaining men, women, and children in the town woke up, and thousands committed suicide on the spot!
If Shen Mo hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and used the soul spell to forcibly erase part of their soul memories, I'm afraid this town would have completely turned into a ghostland within a few days.
The evil of the smoke monster is evident!
According to the information obtained by Waizui Xiexiu and others and General Soul, there are three strong men from the smoke monster clan here, and the rest are the second-order clansmen who went to the banquet with them;
As for whether the fourth-level strong men in his clan have gone to Jinguang Ridge, it is not yet known!
These three smoke monsters, one at the peak of the third level, and two at the late third level, together with dozens of second-level smoke monsters, are located in the valley dozens of miles northwest of Shen Mo;
At the same time, they spread the word to the outside world and would take out the treasures of heaven and earth inside and outside the territory and return them to all kinds of living beings.
