Chapter 666: Inner Demon Contract, Qingyang Sects Past
Chapter 666: Inner Demon Contract, Qingyang Sect’s Past
"Qingyang Gate?!"
Hearing this name, Liu Yu instinctively felt that it was very important, perhaps related to the follow-up of the "Qingyang Gong" that he had been pursuing.
Moreover, judging from the other party's demeanor and tone, it seems that he has some understanding of "Qingyang Gate".
It has been four years since he came to Zhongyu. He has been searching hard for news about "Qingyang Gong", but there has been no big progress.
It was finally possible to get the news at this time, but how could it be missed so easily?
Therefore, Liu Yu controlled the raging murderous intention in her heart, and when the tip of the sunset golden rainbow spear was half an inch away from her eyebrows, just before killing the female cultivator in the green skirt, she finally stopped.
But although the magic weapon stopped, the extremely sharp spear light at the tip of the gun could not be stopped so easily.
"Pfft~"
There were still a few rays of golden-red gun light, which landed on the forehead of the female cultivator in green skirt, chopped off a large amount of black hair, and pierced her skin, leaving bright red blood.
From several shocking blood marks, blood spurted out, and soon the female cultivator's fair and delicate face was dyed red.
This is because the other party is also a physical practitioner. If the physical body of an ordinary Jindan cultivator was directly attacked by a few rays of sharp energy, he would most likely have died on the spot.
"hiss"
A pinprick-like pain came from her forehead, clearly reminding the female cultivator in the green skirt of her current situation. She gritted her teeth and tried not to moan in pain, but she did not dare to act rashly.
At this stage, life and death are in human hands.
With the opponent's reaction speed and ruthless action style, if he makes the slightest move, he may be killed on the spot.
"Which family sent Your Excellency here?"
"What's the purpose?"
"No matter how much the forces behind you cost, I am willing to pay double the price!"
The magic power controlled the injury, causing it to stop bleeding and heal quickly. The female cultivator in the green skirt did not dare to act rashly, but she asked three questions in succession.
Obviously trying to get information and find out which force is targeting him.
"My concubine?!"
"Could it be that she is the concubine of a certain prince?"
"The Buyi League is really a good plan."
Liu Yu stood down and stared coldly at the female cultivator in the green skirt. Liu Yu did not say a word after listening, but there were thousands of thoughts flashing in her heart.
He had already expected such an arrangement by the Buyi League, but he did not expect that the target of the first mission would be the Daqian royal family!
However, Liu Yu was not angry about these.
After all, the original intention of the establishment of the radical casual cultivator organization was to seek benefits for all casual cultivators under the banner of "restructuring the world", and they were destined to confront Gan Ting, the biggest vested interest today.
"Maybe it's his status as the "Emissary of Tiannan" that makes the top leaders of the Buyi League a little worried."
"That's why I arranged this "special" mission, trying to make myself have no way out and step onto the commoner alliance's warship."
With just a few words, Liu Yu guessed the identity of the female cultivator in the green skirt and quickly figured out the whole story.
"But these are not important anymore in front of the news about the exercises."
"What about Qianting, Buyi League, missions, everything must be done backwards in terms of the fundamental skills related to the path!"
The dark eyes shone with rationality, and the murderous intention in Liu Yu's heart gradually subsided.
In response to the three consecutive questions asked by the female cultivator in the green skirt, he had no intention of answering, and just said coldly:
"I hope the fairy understands her situation."
"I am a prisoner under my command, and I am not qualified to negotiate terms with you!"
As he spoke, he shook the spear in his hand, and several shocking blood marks appeared on the female nun's face again.
Liu Yu knew this little trick very well.
It can bring an extraordinary painful experience to the other party without causing the other party to be too seriously injured.
"Uh~"
Accompanied by a cold touch, the pain came only after a while, and the female nun in the green skirt subconsciously groaned in pain, but her noble birth and good upbringing did not allow her to show her ugly appearance.
Therefore, the painful groan had just risen and was forcibly suppressed back into his stomach.
After a thrilling battle, the girl in the green skirt had her slender hair disheveled, and she was covered in cold sweat on her forehead and temples due to severe pain.
Although she is a huge body of seven feet, she exudes a frailty like a weak woman, like a little girl who is hundreds of years old.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time."
After the dust settled, Liu Yu flashed this idea.
"puff"
With a move of his left palm, a dark blue Qingyang Demonic Fire emerged, seeming to drift away slowly but actually quickly.
In the eyes of the female cultivator in green skirt, the firework exuding a dangerous aura was gradually approaching her body, and she could even feel the intense heat on her body surface.
Almost instinctively, she shrank and tried to use her magic power to retreat.
But before the woman could take action, the tip of the gun, which was within easy reach, came closer again, as if it was a warning.
If you resist, you will definitely die on the spot.
If you don't resist, you will most likely die, and you may even suffer torture before you die.
"what to do."
The female cultivator in the green skirt flashed her eyes, constantly thinking about ways to protect herself.
"Qingyang Demonic Fire?"
"By the way, Qingyang Kung!"
"The other party obviously decided to stop temporarily after hearing the news about Qingyang Gate. Maybe we can start from this point and try to deal with it."
Recalling the scene just now, the woman quickly found the key, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
Death is the worst outcome, which means that no matter how much effort has been put in, everything has been in vain.
Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, most monks will not choose to give up as long as they have not reached the last step.
This is what happened to the female cultivator in the green skirt at this time.
Seeing the Qingyang Demonic Fire getting closer and closer, the woman clenched her hands with some force, her spiritual pressure also fluctuated, and a look of struggle kept flashing in her eyes.
But in the end, because of a glimmer of hope in her heart, she released her clenched hands and watched the Qingyang Demonic Fire getting closer and remained indifferent.
The nun in the green skirt barely regained her composure, and forcefully looked into the assassin's cold and calm gaze, not wanting to be at a disadvantage in the later game.
It's a pity that Liu Yu didn't have time to spend time with this woman. He turned his head and looked away, scanning the low-level monks in all directions who were still watching the battle.
"Sometimes, you have to pay a price for watching a game without permission."
"I just enjoyed watching it, now it's time to pay the price!"
His eyes were extremely cold, and he glanced condescendingly at these low-level monks, and his thoughts immediately came to him.
The next moment, the green flames that had not yet been recovered surged violently across the space for several miles.
It split out streams of flames and flew towards the onlookers.
In the night sky, the blue sea of fire covering several miles of space split into dozens of "flame tributaries" in an instant, spreading in all directions.
Wherever it passes, the dark green glow carries a hint of foreboding, which makes people shudder, as if it indicates what will happen next!
"not good!"
Seeing this scene, many monks immediately realized that something was wrong, and their expressions changed drastically and their whole bodies trembled.
The strength of this senior was obvious to all, and he was definitely not an ordinary Jindan Daoist.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this senior is probably an assassin.
At this time, many monks who are still here believe that they will leave soon after achieving their goals.
After all, if you stay even for a moment longer, the danger will increase. As a qualified assassin, you should act cleanly and without any sloppiness.
Those who watched the battle until the end were mostly Qi-refining monks.
They thought that the dignified Jin Dan Master shouldn't care about these little shrimps like them. After all, they couldn't change anything.
No matter what kind of actions are taken, the impact on Senior Jindan will be minimal.
Those with a slightly higher level of cultivation will most likely be more flexible in their thinking. When they realize a dangerous situation, they will immediately get out of the situation without taking any chances.
Those who still stay in the same place generally have low cultivation levels, and either are still hoping for luck, or are willing to risk their lives to see high-level monks fight against them.
But as the blue sea of fire moved and the overwhelming flames came, all their illusions were shattered and turned into panic.
"I beg you, senior, to be merciful. I have no other intentions. I just want to experience the wonders of a higher realm!"
"Senior, spare your life!"
"younger generation."
When the flames struck, many monks immediately thought not of running away, but of groveling and begging for mercy.
After all, there is a big difference between the two realms. In the eyes of Master Jindan, Qi Refining monks are probably no different from ants.
All persistence and resistance will appear meaningless and ridiculous.
However, some monks were not willing to give in and were angry that this "devil cultivator" had hurt innocent people and killed targets outside of their mission.
They either controlled the magic weapon, used escape techniques to escape, or activated the magical power of the magic weapon to fight against the blue flames.
"Uh-huh~"
The screams often fell before they completely rose.
Regardless of whether you choose to escape or resist, you will be caught up by the demonic fire and burned to death.
Qingyang Demonic Fire has been promoted to the third level. Even if it is only a sporadic power, it is definitely not something that a monk under the golden elixir can resist.
Unless special means are used, such as talismans, etc.
"Ridiculous."
Watching coldly as dozens of monks were swallowed up by the flames, Liu Yu shook his head slightly without any fluctuation in his eyes.
His identity was not exposed and no evidence was left behind. Even if these low-level monks reported it, it would be difficult to trace him.
But being surrounded by people watching a life-and-death fight is really not a good feeling.
Liu Yu could have let these monks go, but he still chose to kill without hesitation.
Just because of this, I will feel better, and by the way, I can also collect a wave of fuel for the magic fire.
After all, one of his original intentions for cultivating immortality is to be absolutely free from any restrictions, not even public order and good customs!
As for the help of the female cultivator in the green skirt, it has only lasted less than twenty-five breaths since the battle.
There is still some "safe time" left, so don't worry too much.
After one breath, except for Liu Yu and the female cultivator in the green skirt, there were no other human cultivators within a radius of thirty miles.
As for the last black-clothed guard, he would of course end up being devoured by demonic fire.
Under the control of the spirit beast Xiaoqing, it was almost impossible to form effective resistance. Only a small amount of demonic fire took this person's life.
"Angang~!!"
Ignoring the little guy's coquettishness and rolling around, Liu Yu comforted him a little through the master-servant contract and stuffed it into the spirit animal bag again.
Then he grasped it with five fingers and shot it out of thin air. Flames shot out from all directions and gathered into a spark in the palm of his hand.
"This is the price of curiosity."
Looking calmly at the monk who had left earlier, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze.
The distance is too far, and they are all low-level monks, so it is not worth the time.
Therefore, he had no choice and continued to kill the monks who left first.
In one thought, there were two different endings.
Compared with the monks who stayed in place, the monks who left first may just be because they restrained their "desire" and their strong curiosity.
Desire is hard to fill.
If you don't pay attention, you will be in trouble!
…
"咻咻"
At this time, the Qingyang demonic fire also turned into wisps of flames and entered the body of the girl in the green skirt.
Step by step, the meridians through which the mana circulates and the major points through which Qi and blood circulate are sealed, until the entire Dantian is sealed.
"Hiss~!"
The mana and blood were blocked at the same time, and severe pain struck. However, because she did not want to show her ugly face, the female cultivator in the green skirt chose to bear it in her mouth.
The fair and delicate facial features are all distorted by pain!
Almost instinctively, this woman wanted to use her magical power to resist and attack the sealed meridians and acupuncture points.
"This spiritual fire I have is of a grade as high as the third grade."
"Erupting from the inside out, even a Golden Core cultivator has no chance of surviving."
"So if the fairy wants to survive, it's better not to fight forcefully, otherwise there will be consequences."
Looking at the pitiful "delicate female cultivator" in front of him, Liu Yu didn't feel any soft-hearted, and said coldly with cold eyes.
Hearing this, the female cultivator in the green skirt looked back with hatred, but she could only endure the severe pain and control her magic power not to forcefully attack the seal.
After the fight just now, and having personally experienced the power of demonic fire, she understood that the other party was not exaggerating.
Erupting from the inside out, it is really impossible to escape death, even if she cultivates both body and law, she will not be an exception!
Soon, as the mana and blood were sealed, the woman's body size also shrank rapidly.
After one breath, he returned to his normal body shape.
That robe, which is instantly recognizable as extraordinary, changes automatically without the need for active control and always maintains the appropriate size.
"good."
Seeing this, Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, everything was under control.
Immediately, he quickly dealt with the scene, leaving nothing of his own behind, not even hair or clothing fragments.
From the beginning of the attack to the completion of cleaning up the mess, the entire process does not take more than thirty breaths.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Liu Yu released the "real body state" and returned to normal body shape.
"thump"
He grabbed the shoulder of the female cultivator in green skirt with one hand, and the black wind wings behind him vibrated slightly, and immediately turned into a streak of blue light, and he randomly found a direction to escape away from "Jiangzhou City".
…
"Tell me, tell me all the information about "Qingyang Gate" completely."
"Don't test your patience. The fairy will never want to see the consequences of that."
During the flight, Liu Yu looked forward, but his spiritual consciousness was scanning all directions, and he said lightly without turning his head.
From this moment on, the interrogation has begun!
The other party is from Qianting, and judging from the fact that this woman calls herself "Princess", her identity must not be underestimated, and there are still some means of locating her.
Liu Yu may not be able to detect the methods left by high-level monks.
Therefore, he did not dare to take him back to the cave for interrogation, nor did he dare to delay it for too long. He just wanted to interrogate the information that he could use in the shortest possible time.
In Liu Yu's view, in order to obtain information about the exercises, even using the methods specifically targeted at female cultivators in the "Essentials of Demonic Cultivation" was necessary.
"Qingyang Gate?"
"A monk who appeared out of nowhere, got some incomplete Qingyang Clan skills, and was able to practice to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, and he also cultivated both body and law. You are indeed not a mediocre person."
Instead of answering directly, she gave compliments in a roundabout way. The nun in the green skirt seemed to be trying to delay time.
Obviously, this woman may have some kind of method that can be found by knowledgeable high-level monks without any active stimulation.
When Liu Yu heard this, he was very aware of the nun's little thoughts in the green skirt, and his eyes immediately flashed with a cold light.
The next moment, there was a painful hum in my ears.
"Uh-huh~"
Within the body of the female cultivator in the green skirt, the Qingyang Demonic Fire stirred slightly and began to slowly burn her flesh and blood.
The pain of burning her body from the inside out was almost unbearable for this woman.
The facial features were distorted to the point of pain, and the fair and delicate face looked devoid of any beauty at this time, and even its original nobility had dissipated somewhat.
But fortunately, the pain of the flames burning the body did not last long and faded away after one breath.
"Hmm~"
The female nun in the green skirt let out a weak whine and finally regained consciousness.
"My patience is limited, so I advise the fairy not to test you."
"Otherwise, after ten breaths, the demonic fire will lose control. I believe the fairy should know what will happen."
Turning his head, Liu Yu said calmly.
Seeing that the other party was still moaning intermittently, trying to get through in this way, he immediately frowned.
"Tell us all the news about "Qingyang Gate"!"
"Otherwise, before I die, I will let the fairy have a taste of the feeling of not being able to live or die!"
"explain!!!"
Roughly pulling the long hair of the female cultivator in the green skirt and lifting her head in front of her, Liu Yu said with a cold expression.
By the end of the words, there was already a loud roar.
At this time, in his eyes, there is no distinction between male and female, only the difference between friend and foe, so there is no sympathy at all.
Unable to delay the situation in the manner just now, the nun in the green skirt quickly regained her composure, but remained silent.
She knew that once she said it, 90% of her life would be killed on the spot, so there was still a glimmer of hope in keeping the news.
Looking at the woman's expression, Liu Yu did not continue to press the question, but started counting down with a cold tone:
"I'll just wait for ten breaths. Fairy had better make a decision early."
"Ten, nine, eight"
Although the exercises are important, the safety of your own life always comes first. There are endless possibilities in life.
If the other party still refuses to speak within the stipulated time, he can only deal with it reluctantly.
As long as the green hills remain, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
Time passed by breath by breath, and the sound of reading slowly sounded in the ears of the female cultivator in green skirt, like big stones falling on her heart.
Every passing number is like a big stone stacked on my heart, making my mood heavier.
As time went by, the pressure on this woman gradually increased, and she was constantly weighing the pros and cons and thinking about countermeasures.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her complexion turned from flushed to pale, but the woman herself was not aware of it.
Life and death are controlled by human hands, and the body is completely controlled. Who can remain calm in the face of readings that sound like the death sentence?
At least listening to that emotionless voice, the female cultivator in the blue skirt was far from calm.
After all, life is so beautiful, but she is not ready to face death yet. All her efforts until now are just to survive!
"etc."
The pressure on her heart increased exponentially. When the countdown reached "four", the pressure accumulated in the female cultivator's heart reached its limit. Her defenses were finally shattered and she couldn't help but compromise.
"three two."
But to this woman's surprise, after she opened her mouth, the countdown sound only paused slightly, but did not stop.
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the female cultivator in green skirt, and she blurted out without thinking:
"Wait a minute, I am willing to talk."
As soon as these words came out, the sound of counting down immediately stopped.
Liu Yu focused his eyes on the woman again and waited quietly for her answer.
"I can tell you everything about the Qingyang Gate. I have only one request."
"That is, after telling the news, you must let me go, and you and I will sign the "Inner Demon Contract"."
"Otherwise, you will die if you say it, and if you don't say it, you will die. In the end, you will inevitably die. I would rather die than let you succeed."
Knowing that time was urgent, the nun in the green skirt spoke very quickly and finished her request in one breath.
After the words fell, she looked at Liu Yu without any sign of weakness, insisting on the bottom line and never giving in.
The so-called "Inner Demon Contract" can be regarded as a more advanced Inner Demon Oath. It is rumored that as long as such a contract is signed, the vows made by both parties will be witnessed by heaven.
Once violated, the calamity of inner demons during promotion will be enhanced dozens to hundreds of times!
So far, I have never heard of an example of a monk signing a contract and violating his oath, and still being promoted.
Therefore, this kind of contract is indeed a good shackle for monks who want to continue climbing the path of immortality.
It's just said that a very small amount of fifth-level spiritual materials are used during refining, so the price is extremely expensive, often much more expensive than the top magic weapons.
Basically, they have no chance to interact with ordinary monks. Generally, only the top handful of golden elixirs, or the True Lord Nascent Soul, have the opportunity to come into contact with them.
"You are obviously a prisoner, but you still dare to negotiate terms with Liu?"
Thinking like this, Liu Yu couldn't help but look at the other party's firm eyes.
Although he is a "pampered" monk, he has relatively little experience in the world of immortality.
But judging from the opponent's performance in previous battles, it was obvious that he was not a monk who would compromise without hesitation.
At least there is not enough time at the moment, and some of the methods in "Essentials of Demonic Cultivation" are completely too late to be used, and they are not enough to forcefully open the opponent's mouth.
As for the female cultivator in the green skirt, her soul also exceeds the limit of ordinary golden elixirs, and her success rate in using the "Soul Searching Technique" is extremely low.
Moreover, the other party is a monk from Qanting, so there is a high probability that she is a princess.
Maybe he knows some secrets, and has been set up by the true king and god king of Qianting long ago, so that the memory cannot be obtained through soul searching.
It was a matter of life and death. The female cultivator in the green skirt did not dodge her eyes. Under Liu Yu's gaze, she used a bit of magic power to take out a thin black book page as big as a palm.
"Inner Demon Contract"
Looking at the black pages, Liu Yu's thoughts changed rapidly.
Seeing the firmness in the female cultivator's eyes, he frowned, but finally said:
"It's not impossible to tell the news about Qingyang Gate, hand over the "Stone of Confusion", and sign a contract to let you go."
His identity has not been revealed so far, and he is covered by the Sword of Destruction, so there is no need to worry about causing trouble.
More than half of the opponent's team has been killed or injured. As long as they get another "Blurred Stone", the mission will be completed.
Therefore, Liu Yu actually didn't care whether he killed the female cultivator in green skirt or not. With the Immortal Mansion as his backing, he was not greedy for her wealth.
Of course, he doesn't mind picking it up if he just bends down to pick it up.
“It’s a deal!”
"Only the Three Holy Lands and I, Dagan, know the news about Qingyang Gate. No matter how much my fellow Taoists pry, it is almost impossible to get useful information."
"Maybe you'll get into big trouble because of this."
Seeing that Liu Yu had agreed, the female cultivator in the green skirt used her spiritual consciousness to write the deed, and said something profound at the same time.
Soon, the black page was covered with densely packed strange symbols.
Even if you have never seen this kind of symbol, you can understand what it represents at a glance, and communication will not be hindered in any way.
Even if he had never seen it before, Liu Yu had also read the record about the "Inner Demon Contract" in the classics, and looked calm when he saw it.
Confirm that there are no errors in the content and there are no open or hidden pits.
The content expressed by the symbol is its own meaning, and there is no continuous interpretation.
Each dropped a drop of essence and blood, and the two quickly signed a contract.
"Zi Zi"
As the essence and blood entered, two more symbols appeared on the thin black page, and then a blue flame ignited, turning into ashes in just half a breath.
As the deed was formally signed, Liu Yu's heart moved. He was clearly not affected by any force, but he felt a vague restraint.
This is a normal situation, consistent with the description in the classics. Then he turned his eyes and looked at the female cultivator in the green skirt.
After the contract was signed and her safety was guaranteed, the woman felt a huge stone in her heart and immediately spoke very quickly:
"This matter is a long story, and it starts from 60,000 years ago."
As the nun in the green skirt told her, Liu Yu gradually obtained news about the Qingyang Sect.
I also understand the reason behind why I haven't gotten any useful information after searching for so long.
