Li Zhen proposed to capture the devil as a shortcut to find the palace altar, to which Yun Linglong agreed.
Because based on what they saw and heard at the moment, the demon was not very powerful, and it was not difficult for them to deal with it, so this was not a risky move.
"This is a good idea. If we search aimlessly like this, we will waste time and run into some unknown dangerous areas."
Yun Linglong nodded.
Now that the two of them are cooperating, no matter what they want to do, they must seek each other's opinions. Seeing that Yun Linglong agreed, Li Zhen immediately started looking for a target.
After a while, they met the demons again, but this time they encountered a team of demons, with the strongest ones reaching the peak of Qi refining.
"Let's take action against them. The demon at the head looks like he has a high status. He will definitely be able to bring us good news."
Yun Linglong agreed and wanted to take action together, but was stopped by Li Zhen.
"You don't need to take action. You can still hide in the dark. If something goes wrong here, you can make it right."
Li Zhen is also very thoughtful and takes precautions when doing things, and Yun Linglong does everything she can.
Li Zhen looked for an opportunity at the next moment, holding the Qiu Shui Sword tightly in his hand, and suddenly took action when the group of seven demons were unprepared. In the blink of an eye, the six demons died on the spot. He didn't even know how they died. As for the leader of the demons,
Full of fear, he turned around and tried to escape, but he couldn't escape in front of Li Zhen. A sword beam flew out and cut off his hamstring, causing him to fall to the ground in embarrassment.
The demon was in pain and was about to scream in pain when a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes. Li Zhen came closer and kicked the scream back.
"Shut up! If you make any sound, I'll cut your tongue first."
The demon saw clearly that there was a human race in front of him, and he was very shocked. He quickly thought of something, but he did not dare to speak out because of Li Zhen's threat.
"I'll ask you questions and answer them to my satisfaction. I'll spare your life."
Li Zhen didn't waste any time and asked directly: "How many palaces do you demons transport crystal stones to, and where are they located?"
When the demon heard Li Zhen's question, he was very alert. Li Zhen faced the enemy and struck mercilessly. The Qiu Shui sword flashed and stabbed directly into the demon's shoulder blade, nailing him to the ground.
"Don't play tricks on me, and don't pretend to be tough."
As he spoke, he turned his wrist and twisted the Qiu Shui Sword inside the demon, causing the demon to break out in a cold sweat.
"I don't know the details of how many palaces there are. I'm afraid there are at least a thousand. As for the locations, they are very scattered. Each general manages one."
The devil compromised and said.
Li Zhen was shocked when he heard this.
At least a thousand? Each general manages one?
Li Zhen fell into deep thought for a moment. The general the other party mentioned was most likely the red-armored demon he had encountered before, with the strength of the Hundred Apertures realm.
"What are you building these palaces for?"
"We don't know, we are just following orders."
"fart!"
When Li Zhen saw that the other party did not say anything, he stabbed the devil's two acupoints with the Qiushui Sword in succession, causing the other party to moan and groan in pain, grinning.
The body structure of the devil is similar to that of the human race. When Li Zhen joined the army, he learned some methods of extorting confessions, and they are effective today.
"We really don't know. We are just coolies at the lowest level. We do whatever the superiors ask us to do. We can't ask or think about anything else."
What the devil said is true. If you want to find out the secret of the devil, you have to find a devil with a higher status.
Li Zhen nodded and asked again: "How much do you know about the location of the palace? Tell me in detail."
The demon in front of him knew that Li Zhen had powerful methods, and he himself was not a tough and unyielding person. In the end, he told everything he knew, and made Li Zhen very satisfied.
After Li Zhen pried away the required information, he killed him with a sword without hesitation. The demon looked at Li Zhen in horror, not expecting that the other party would not keep his word.
After the death of the demon, Yun Linglong showed her true body and had no troubles about Li Zhen's killing of the demon. The two sides were enemies, so there was no trust.
"There are five palace altars near us. As long as we search for the light balls in these five altars, our trip will be complete."
The light balls are of great help to cultivation, but they cannot be greedy. The two of them can obtain five light balls, which is a great gain and they can leave successfully. Regarding Li Zhen's proposal, Yun Linglong also agreed. This is not a good place after all.
.
The two of them immediately started taking action without stopping, heading towards the nearest palace.
With the help of the invisibility beads, the two moved quickly, and soon they arrived at a palace altar, which looked exactly like what Li Zhen had encountered before.
"Is this the palace altar?"
It was the first time Yun Linglong met, and she couldn't help but look at her curiously. Li Zhen nodded and said: "These demons will have a rest time. When they rest, in addition to some ordinary guards, there will also be a Baiqiao realm demon in the palace.
We must be more careful when we capture the light ball."
Li Zhen took advantage of the time to tell Yun Linglong about the red-armored demon in detail. Yun Linglong was secretly frightened when she saw how powerful the red-armored demon was.
"The demons live in the outside world. The harsh environment creates extraordinary talents. Although the demons were born from the union of humans, they inherited many characteristics of the demons and their methods are extraordinary. If not, they would not have harmed the prehistoric world in the three periods.
Only then was it destroyed.”
It is undeniable that the demons and the descendants left behind in the prehistoric world are all born warriors. They are born to fight and conquer. This is something that no other race in the prehistoric world can match.
The demons at the palace altar were coming in and out in an endless stream, and special crystals were constantly being transported in. Li Zhen and Yun Linglong also studied this crystal, but could not find any way to it, so they had to give up.
After a while, the palace altar became quiet. Li Zhen knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately called Yun Linglong to go inside the palace.
The invisibility beads not only hid the body, but also concealed the voice and breath, so the two of them walked through the guards openly and walked into the palace.
There is an altar in the center of the palace, and a ball of light is suspended in the center of the altar. There are many crystal stones around it that continuously provide energy to it.
"What pure power!"
Yun Linglong came forward, her eyes shining, and she sighed.
"This is not a place to stay for a long time. After getting this thing, leave first and sigh later."
Li Zhen reminded him, Yun Linglong nodded and snatched the ball of light.
As soon as the light ball left the altar, a roar immediately sounded deep in the hall, and then a red-armored demon appeared near the altar, extremely angry. The red-armored demon was exactly the same as what Li Zhen had encountered before, and he was also the demon mentioned by the previous interrogation demon.
The general has the strength of the Hundred Aperture Realm and is the person who sits at the palace altar.
When the red-armored demon saw the ball of light missing, he was shocked and angry. The guards rushed in when they heard the noise. Unfortunately, Li Zhen and Yun Linglong were hiding in the invisibility beads. They couldn't notice anything and could only stare. In the end, the two of them were there.
They left the palace smoothly under their noses.
Far away from the palace, Li Zhen handed the ball of light into Yun Linglong's hands and said: "I'll give this to you first, take it first, and then refine it after leaving the underground world."
Yun Linglong was not polite and took the light ball directly, but did not take it, but temporarily put it away. Li Zhen didn't say much when he saw this, and the two of them walked towards the second palace.
