"This... how is this possible? The Demon City has not appeared for thousands of years."
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Master Ling Jian shook his head repeatedly. To the current cultivators on Chiyang Star, the Heavenly Demon is nothing more than a legend.
"Aren't those two just now demons?"
Feeling the slight increase in the spiritual consciousness, Su Xiaofan said lightly: "And they are demons at the level of demon generals. If they want to invade your body, it will be difficult for you to resist..."
"this……"
Several of the top cultivators on Chiyang Star were speechless at this moment.
When the two phantoms appeared just now, there was indeed a demonic energy in Su Xiaofan's cave. Even though Master Ling Jian and others had never seen the demon, they still believed Su Xiaofan's words.
"Senior Su, do you know who in our sect has been invaded by the demon?"
Master Ling Jian gave a bitter smile, "What do they want to do by invading our sect disciples?"
"I do have a few names here."
Su Xiaofan said: "The cultivator of your Beishan Sword Sect who was invaded is called Liu Yun. It was the demon who invaded two hundred years ago."
"Liu Yun? Why is this name so familiar?"
Master Ling Jian murmured to himself, and suddenly a look of horror appeared on his face, "This... this is impossible, Senior Su, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Yun to be invaded by the demon..."
"Why is it impossible? I just saw this name. Who is Liu Yun?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He just read the names from the memory of the two demons and said them smoothly.
"Liu...Liu Yun is my uncle..."
Master Ling Jian still had an expression of disbelief on his face, "My uncle has been in seclusion for more than a hundred years and is now a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Dzogchen realm. How could he be invaded by a demon?"
The reason why Master Ling Jian was so shocked was because the Liu Yun Su Xiaofan mentioned was the Supreme Elder of the Beishan Sword Sect.
The leader of the Beishan Sword Sect has always been inherited from the lineage of Master Ling Jian.
It seems that when Master Ling Jian's master became the sect master more than two hundred years ago, he had some unpleasant experiences with his junior brother, Master Liu Yun.
It was from then on that Master Liu Yun began to practice in seclusion and was unable to leave.
However, Master Ling Jian's master did not sit in the position of sect leader for long. He unexpectedly disappeared more than a hundred years ago, so Master Ling Jian took over the leadership of the Beishan Sword Sect.
However, from the time Master Ling Jian's master disappeared to the time when Master Ling Jian took over the Beishan Sword Sect, his uncle has never been out of trouble.
It was only when Master Ling Jian sent messages to greet him every ten years or so that he could get a reply from his uncle. Only then did he know that his uncle was still alive and had cultivated to the perfect state of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Ling Jian, have you ever seen your uncle who has been in seclusion for so many years?"
Dao Yan, who was next to him, said, "Whether it's a demon or not, let Senior Su give it a try and you'll know."
"Senior Su, you haven't said yet, what do those demons want?"
Baicao from Yaowang Valley also said at this moment: "What does the demon want to do after invading so many sects?"
Thinking of the control of the Red Sun Star by the Heavenly Demon six thousand years ago recorded in the classics, several Nascent Soul cultivators in the cave shuddered in their hearts.
"They are going to transform Chiyang Star into Heavenly Demon Star!"
Su Xiaofan said: "As long as they can turn all the cultivators of Chiyang Star into demons, they can find a way to turn Chiyang Star's spiritual energy into demonic energy..."
Su Xiaofan only saw such a memory in the soul fragment of the demon, but Su Xiaofan did not read how to implement it.
"wild ambition!"
Dao Yan and Baicao's expressions changed greatly when they heard this, but Master Ling Jian had not yet fully woken up from the shock of his uncle turning into a demon.
"Senior Su, can you write down the list of our sect's disciples? We will go back and arrest them right away."
Dao Yan and Baicao couldn't sit still. If the devil took advantage of their absence and transformed all the sect disciples, then these two sects would cease to exist.
"Okay, but it's not urgent."
Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: "The highest level of the Heavenly Demons who come out of the Heavenly Demon Palace does not exceed the Demon General Stage, which is your Nascent Soul Stage. The Heavenly Demons outside are nothing to worry about.
But in the secret realm of the Heavenly Demon Palace, there are still higher-level Heavenly Demons. Once those Heavenly Demons come to the cultivator world, you will not be able to resist them."
In the memory of the Shui Li Demon, Su Xiaofan discovered that they seemed to have found a way to resist the powerful curse of the demons. If it was really possible, those high-level demons would be able to come out of the secret realm.
For cultivators and even ordinary people on Chiyang Star, that would be an extremely cruel event, and the entire Chiyang Star would not be safe.
"Then...what should we do?"
Several sect leaders were already panicking at this moment. They were only Nascent Soul cultivators. Even though they had the idea of saving the world, they did not have the strength to save the world.
"Senior Su, I hope that senior will take action to save the cultivators of Chiyang Star and the common people of Li..."
Daoyan Baicao and Master Ling Jian stood up at the same time and gave a big salute to Su Xiaofan. They all couldn't help but bow.
"The demons are so cruel that all cultivators can kill them!"
Su Xiaofan said sternly: "I will take action, and I will deal with those demons from the source!"
Even if a few people don't beg Su Xiaofan, Su Xiaofan will still take action. The spiritual power of the demon that was crushed will be a great supplement to his spiritual thoughts.
If the number of demons is really large enough, maybe Su Xiaofan can recover his spiritual thoughts without system repair.
Su Xiaofan didn't waste any time and directly used his spiritual thoughts to transfer some people's names into the minds of these three sect masters.
Except for the Beishan Sword Sect, which only had two foundation-building stage cultivators besides the Supreme Elder who were Heavenly Demons, the total number of invaded disciples from Yaowang Valley and Tianyan Sect was over a hundred.
Seeing the list in their minds, Baicao and Dao Yan both turned pale, because among their disciples, several of them were demons in disguise.
Moreover, these people did not go to practice at the rare treasures dropped from the sky this time, but stayed within the sect. This move made the two sect masters even more anxious.
"Senior Su, I want to return to the sect first and eliminate the demons!"
Dao Yan and Baicao were both in a hurry to return to the sect. They were really afraid that the Heavenly Demon Palace would activate at this time. Whether they calculated it mentally or not, the Tianyan Sect and Yaowang Valley were basically as undefended as they were.
After leaving a few transmission notes for Su Xiaofan, the two of them did not dare to delay at all and flew directly into the air towards their respective sects.
"Fellow Daoist Ling Jian, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that Master Ling Jian did not leave, but seemed hesitant to speak, Su Xiaofan suddenly laughed.
"Ling Jian also asked senior to take action..."
Master Ling Jian gave a bitter smile, "I am definitely no match for the demon that can occupy my uncle's spiritual body. Only Senior Su can subdue it!"
Master Ling Jian has read the records about the demon's disaster on Chiyang Star six thousand years ago. He knows that the demon has no body and is a pure energy attack that directly affects the soul of the cultivator.
Even those cultivators who are much higher than the demons can easily be invaded by the demons accidentally. Master Ling Jian knows that he is definitely not the opponent of the demons who have taken over the physical body of his uncle.
"Okay, after I get rid of the Heavenly Demons from your Beishan Sword Sect, I will go to the Secret Realm of the Heavenly Demon Palace!"
Su Xiaofan nodded. A demon at the level of a demon general would be of great help to him in restoring his spiritual consciousness. Su Xiaofan would naturally not let him go.
"Senior Su, it's not too late, let's leave now?"
Master Ling Jian said, after learning that the supreme elder of the sect was actually a demon, he didn't want to wait any longer.
"That's fine."
Su Xiaofan agreed, but then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Although it is not very far from Beishanfang City to Beishan Sword Sect, it is still thousands of kilometers away!
In the past, Su Xiaofan could reach the place with just a movement of his spiritual thoughts, but now, even though his spiritual thoughts can break through the space and teleport, the teleportation distance is only six or seven meters.
"Flying sword, by the way, I also have a flying sword..."
Su Xiaofan suddenly thought that there was a flying sword in the acupuncture point in his body. It was also Su Xiaofan's natal flying sword back then.
However, after becoming a planet-level cultivator, Su Xiaofan basically did not need to use flying swords even against enemies.
His spiritual thoughts can split space. No matter how powerful the flying sword is, can it be used with space cracks?
"Fellow Daoist Ling Jian, please lead the way!"
With a thought, Su Xiaofan floated up, and an invisible flying sword appeared at his feet.
That's right, it was invisible. The flying sword seemed to be hidden in the void. Although it was holding Su Xiaofan's body, Master Ling Jian could not see the existence of the flying sword.
Nascent Soul cultivators usually have three ways to travel.
One is to use the spiritual power in the body to fly in the air. This method is the most handsome, but it also consumes the most spiritual power. Even practitioners in the Nascent Soul stage cannot use the method of flying in the air for a long time.
The second method is to teleport.
By the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators already have a deep understanding of space. On planets like Chiyang Star, short-distance teleportation is possible.
However, teleportation consumes more spiritual power than flying in the air. Even late Nascent Soul cultivators can only use it when chasing others or escaping for their lives. No one will use it to travel.
The third method is to fly with objects.
Cultivators can fly with objects when they are in the elixir formation stage, and naturally they can also do it in the Nascent Soul stage. Especially for sword cultivators who have cultivated their natal flying swords, flying with swords is what they most commonly use.
Master Ling Jian was in a hurry to return to his sect and lead the way for Senior Su. Naturally, he used the method of flying with his sword.
A huge sword about three meters long appeared at the feet of Master Ling Jian. In a flash, Master Ling Jian was already a thousand meters away.
Su Xiaofan's sword control skills were learned from the Earth Sword Sect and were no weaker than the Beishan Sword Sect. His spiritual thoughts activated the flying sword and followed closely behind Master Ling Jian.
"Fortunately, I can still wield a sword, otherwise I don't know how to explain it."
After being called "Senior" by everyone for a long time, it would be a shame if Su Xiaofan couldn't even fly.
After traveling thousands of miles, with the blessing of the two men's flying swords, it took less than half an hour to arrive at the Beishan Sword Sect.
Beishan Sword Sect is named after the mountain.
Beishan is the largest mountain range in Chiyang Star, stretching for tens of millions of kilometers. There are many monsters and beasts in the mountains and countless rare treasures.
The Beishan Sword Sect is not the only sect in the mountain range, but the Beishan Sword Sect is the only one named after Beishan.
"Senior Su, will you go directly to my uncle's retreat later? Or what? Do you want me to invite my uncle out?"
Master Ling Jian, who was flying in front, sent a message to Su Xiaofan behind him.
Master Ling Jian still had a glimmer of hope at this moment, in case Senior Su made a mistake and his uncle was not a demon.
"Um?"
After Master Ling Jian sent the message, he didn't see Senior Su's reply for a long time. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When he looked back, he saw Senior Su looking at him with an unhappy expression.
"Senior Su, it's not that this junior doesn't believe you."
Master Ling Jian thought that Su Xiaofan was angry that he had questioned him, so he quickly said: "I'd better take senior directly to Master Uncle's retreat..."
Looking back again, Master Ling Jian saw Su Xiaofan nodding slightly, and he felt relieved. It seemed that Senior Su didn't like others to question his decision.
"Grandma, how can I reply when the sound is transmitted so far away..."
What Master Ling Jian didn't know was that Su Xiaofan was unhappy not because he asked how to contact the demon.
It's because the range that Su Xiaofan's spiritual thoughts can affect now is only six or seven meters.
At this time, Master Ling Jian was flying a hundred meters in front of Su Xiaofan. Even if Su Xiaofan wanted to reply, he couldn't get through.
In the silence between the two of them, Master Ling Jian controlled the flying sword and stopped on a mountainside.
The aura of this mountainside is not very abundant, and it is covered with towering trees that are hundreds of meters high. It is difficult for sunlight to penetrate, and the environment is somewhat gloomy.
At a place on the mountainside close to the rock wall, a few hundred meters of area was shrouded in mist. Su Xiaofan knew that it should be the formation deployed by the Beishan Sword Sect.
"Uncle Master is in retreat here..."
Master Ling Jian said: "This is the forbidden area of Beishan Sword Sect. Except for me and a few elders, no disciples are allowed to come here."
"Open the formation and go in."
Su Xiaofan didn't say much. In fact, he wasn't sure that Supreme Elder Liu Yun was the demon, but judging from the time he spent in seclusion and the environment in front of him, it was probably nine out of ten.
"yes!"
Master Ling Jian stopped talking nonsense and brought everyone. Even if the master uncle is not a demon, then at most he is not a demon. After all, he wants Senior Su to see people.
After firing more than a hundred spells in succession, the mist within a few hundred meters in front of Master Ling Jian suddenly dissipated, and a portal to a cave was revealed on the rock wall.
"Why did the sect master come?"
From the portal, a deep voice came out.
"I have something to ask my teacher uncle."
Master Ling Jian glanced at Su Xiaofan and said: "There is a demon on the Red Sun Star. Ling Jian has come to ask for help from his uncle..."
"Oh? The demon disappeared for thousands of years, why did it appear again?"
The voice seemed a little confused, "Ling Jian, please come in and tell me what's going on."
When the voice spoke, a faint demonic energy appeared where Master Ling Jian was standing.
However, the consciousness mixed with this demonic energy was unable to detect Su Xiaofan standing aside. Su Xiaofan, who wrapped himself up with his spiritual thoughts, seemed to not exist in this space.
"It is indeed a demon..."
Su Xiaofan's voice rang in Master Ling Jian's mind, "He asked you to come in, probably because he wanted to separate his spiritual consciousness, occupy your body, and make you a demon clone..."
"Senior, what should I do?"
Master Ling Jian was also a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. When the voice spoke, he also noticed a hint of malice.
Regarding the demon, Master Ling Jian had no experience in fighting against the enemy, so he could only turn his attention to Su Xiaofan.
"You come in after me."
Su Xiaofan passed the message, and then entered the portal in a floating figure. Master Ling Jian did not dare to neglect and quickly followed Su Xiaofan.
As soon as he entered the retreat cave, Master Ling Jian felt that there was almost no spiritual energy here, instead there was a kind of energy that made him feel uncomfortable.
Rather than saying it is a cave, it is actually more like a cave. It is only more than ten meters deep and not spacious. There is only a room of more than ten meters square after the passage.
A figure sat cross-legged on a futon on the ground, quietly looking at Su Xiaofan and Master Ling Jian who walked into the room.
"My good nephew, who are you bringing here?"
The man's narrow eyes stared at Su Xiaofan and looked him up and down before looking at Master Ling Jian behind Su Xiaofan.
"Uncle Master, this is a genius cultivator I found at the foot of the mountain!"
Master Ling Jian made nonsense, "He was born with Taoism, but he has never practiced it. I want to show it to my uncle to see if this person can inherit the mantle of my Beishan Sword Sect?"
"Innate Taoist body?"
The old man sitting on the ground shot out a bright light in his eyes and stared at Su Xiaofan.
Master Ling Jian couldn't see anything, but Su Xiaofan's spiritual mind saw that this small room was already filled with demonic energy. It seemed that the demon didn't want to pretend anymore.
"Okay, okay, it is indeed a natural Taoist body!"
After a stream of spiritual consciousness wandered around Su Xiaofan's body for a while, the old man sitting on the ground burst into laughter.
The veteran can be sure that the person in front of him has no spiritual energy in his body, but his whole body seems to contain an extremely pure energy. This energy is very attractive to the demon.
"Not bad, very good, Ling Jian, let me personally teach this person!"
The old Taoist looked at Su Xiaofan at this moment, as if he was looking at a treasure, and wished he could swallow all the flesh and skin on Su Xiaofan's face.
"Uncle, I have already accepted him as a disciple. How can I leave him to teach?"
Master Ling Jian immediately rejected the old Taoist request, "Also, Uncle Master, I am here to deal with the Heavenly Demons. Recently, more than ten Heavenly Demons have appeared on Chiyang Star. How should we deal with them?"
"The devil is easy to deal with."
A strange smile suddenly appeared on the old Taoist's face, "If we all become devils, wouldn't we be a family? Why should we be separated from each other?"
Following Lao Dao's words, a black shadow emerged from Lao Dao's zenith.
In an instant, black demonic energy spread throughout the cave, and the phantom rushed straight towards Master Ling Jian.
