After notifying his identity, the second-level smoke monster guarding outside the valley led Shen Mo into the valley.
The smoke monster leading the way saw that the visitor was a local evil cultivator. The body in the shape of smoke twisted and changed, transforming into the appearance of a stunning woman in the eyes of humans. It even spoke in human language.
However, this change can only deceive ordinary monks, but it cannot fool Shen Mo's eyes.
Even without using [Clearly Observing All Living Beings], under the suppression of the realm, he could still use the power of his powerful soul to get a glimpse of the demon's roots.
This second-level smoke monster originally wanted to stick to Shen Mo's side, relying on its "beautiful beauty" to make his mood rise and fall, so as to absorb some of the escaped emotions and desires. However, he was suddenly frightened by the roar of the guarding soul general.
"The beauty is pale", I don't dare to use any tricks anymore, I just keep my head down and lead the way.
The valley where their clan settled was embraced by several large mountains and occupies a rather wide area.
Methods similar to formations are arranged inside and outside the valley to prevent outside prying eyes and trespassing;
In addition, there are also pavilions with a height of a hundred feet standing in the valley. To be more precise, they are cages in the shape of pavilions. A large number of creatures are imprisoned in each pavilion!
There are mortal men and women, immortal cultivators, and strange-looking extraterrestrial beings... They are all kidnapped by strong smoke monsters from all over the place to provide them with food for their cultivation.
When Shen Mo passed by one of the pavilion cages, his spiritual consciousness swept out and explored a thing or two;
As expected, the creatures imprisoned in the building, just like the men, women and children in the small town before, performed all kinds of bizarre and extremely erotic dramas, providing the smoke monster with pure and rich emotions and desires!
These intangible and qualityless "resources" will be collected by the smoke monster clan through special means;
As for the various living beings who were imprisoned and exploited, their bodies will also be traded when they are exhausted, and nothing will be wasted.
Shen Mo suppressed his emotions and walked deeper into the valley with an expressionless face.
When dealing with smoke monsters and monsters, the most taboo thing is to have random thoughts and restless minds. If there is even the slightest trace of emotion or thought escaping, the smoke monsters will smell something strange!
In this way, the second-level smoke monster who led the way felt extremely regretful.
After all, for them, the fluctuating emotions and thoughts of strong people are the best resources for cultivation, no less than what high-level elixirs mean to immortal cultivators!
But at the moment, Shen Modao's mind is calm and unruffled, so naturally he can't absorb any emotional thoughts.
…
Deep in the valley, a dozen evil cultivators and extraterrestrial monsters have gathered!
Some gathered together in twos and threes, or sat quietly alone, probably divided into five small circles;
There is a stone table in front of everyone, and on the table there are different "jelly delicacies" according to their different races and tastes!
In front of some demons, there are conventional foods such as heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, eyeballs, meat slices, blood and wine. Judging from the shape of these "foods" and the aura they contain, they should be people of a high level of immortality;
Some demons and evil cultivators eat relatively light meals, with spiritual fruits, spiritual wine and other items placed on the table.
The most peculiar thing is that the three smoke monsters sitting in the main seat have balls of colorful light like smoke and water on the plates in front of them. They take a sip from time to time and feel so comfortable that their whole bodies tremble with the smoke!
Led by the second-level smoke monster, Shen Mo quickly came to the group of monsters. After a short look, he estimated the strength of the monsters in the field.
"Three smoke monsters, one at the peak of third level, and two at the late third level."
"Five human evil cultivators, their strength ranges from the middle to late stage of the spiritual sea realm. A late third-order ten thousand-eyed demon, a third-order peak human-faced willow demon, and a middle-order third-order mutated demon..."
"kindness?"
When Shen Mo's spiritual consciousness swept across the only demon present, his heart was slightly startled, and his expression quickly turned gloomy.
"Senior Brother Li..."
This mutated demon, with its demon-dyed body, turned out to be Shen Mo’s old friend, Li Chong, an elite disciple of Linjiang Sect’s Xingchen Peak!
Many years ago, after Shen Mo had just attended the Tianshan Grand Ceremony, a heavenly demon tunnel happened to be opened under the Tianshan Mountain. After he rescued Zhao Lingyin, he was chased by the Wanwu Heavenly Demon and had to dig tunnels to escape from Tianshan City;
After that, he asked for help from the elite disciples of Xingchen Peak through the telegraph instrument...
Li Chong brought his friends, Shangguan Jie, a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, and Song Fang, a disciple of the Yanyue Sect, to help him slay the Ten Thousand Martial Heavenly Demons together!
Later, Shen Mo invited them to explore Prince Yongzuo's underground palace together.
Since then, the relationship between the two has been good. Even though Shen Mo rarely teamed up with him to go on missions, they still kept in touch.
Before the drastic changes in the world, when the teleportation talisman and the teleportation array were still ineffective, Li Zhong once made bold statements in the talisman group, saying that he would be able to break through the realm within half a year and be promoted to a strong person in the spiritual sea realm; he also sent a message to Shen Mo, following
He inquired about the welfare benefits of the elders in Qingyun Peak!
Apart from some nagging, this "Senior Brother Li" had a bold and resolute personality, and Shen Mo had a very good impression of him.
After the drastic changes in the world, Li Zhong never came to Chong Ashan Courtyard. Shen Mo thought that he was like other disciples of the sect, either trapped in the secret territory of Yaochi, or swallowed by the flying snake and dragon on the border of Qingzhou.
.
Unexpectedly, he died in the hands of an alien demon and became a mutated demon!
Feeling sad and stunned, Shen Mo quickly went through his past experiences in his mind and firmly believed that he had never shown his current image in front of Li Chong, nor had he used the Soul Refining Flag to summon the flag in front of him.
Central Soul General!
However, he had used this banner several times in the demon-slaying battlefield, and many people in the sect knew that he possessed a soul-refining banner evil weapon that could control soul generals. Whether Li Zhong learned about this, Shen Mo also
Not sure.
If Li Zhong could recognize this flag, the mutated demon who inherited all of Li Zhong's memories would naturally be able to recognize it too!
Immediately, Shen Mo's five senses fell on "Li Chongtian Demon", and as expected, a trace of thinking and doubt appeared on its face.
Seeing this, Shen Mo didn't hesitate anymore, the power of the soul swept out with strange fluctuations, and struck the "Li Chongtian Demon" with a single blow of the soul-destroying curse.
The soul is like a knife!
Before Li Chong Tianmo could react, he was beaten so hard that his body trembled and his soul almost collapsed.
The soul-searching curse, the soul-binding curse, the soul-destroying curse and other curses are essentially a confrontation of the power of the soul, which is extremely dangerous.
However, Shen Mo has been practicing so far, and his soul level is far beyond that of mid-level third-level creatures; coupled with the protection of the two major soul magics, the shock was only slightly suppressed, and under the shining of the blazing sun soul, he returned to his original state in an instant!
"Crash!"
The soul refining flag made a hunting sound, and the blood was like a curtain. It was caught and dragged into the flag.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. Li Zhong's mutated demon was transformed into a demon soul general before he could even scream for mercy.
