Demonic energy devours living creatures when it encounters them, and the swallowed living creatures become dark demons, causing harm to the common people.
"This is how the Dark Demon came here." Lu Chen pondered. He grabbed the Dark Demon's arm that Lan Lingdao brought and looked at it carefully. The strange thing was that the Dark Demon's arm was as light as tissue paper, and it felt like it had no weight at all.
"After being swallowed by demonic energy, the host body dies. The demonic energy will rob all the energy of this body, which is why this arm is so light." Lan Lingdao sat up and continued: "However, although this arm
It's just a part of the empty shell abandoned by the Dark Demon, but after being transformed by the Dark Demon, it has become indestructible and comparable to a magic weapon."
Lan Lingdao relied on this arm for Lu Chen's fierce attack just now. Without this arm, Lan Lingdao would not have been able to easily survive that kind of attack.
The mysterious thing is a thing from the outside world, with mysterious power. This dark demon is the combination of the demonic energy and the human race. It looks like a human but not human, has a terrifying shape, and is so powerful that even the possessed flesh is comparable to
Human magic weapon.
Today, the Southern Territory is jointly ruled by several major colleges to check and balance each other. Although Lu Chen came to the Southern Territory not long ago, he also knows that these forces are not harmonious.
In this dark demon incident, they were surprisingly united. To say that it was to eliminate demons and protect the way, Lu Chen was a little skeptical. Several major colleges had already known about the news that there was a dark demon in the secret realm of Da Ze, so why did they wait until now?
What he did was done with such great fanfare and such a large battle to deal with a dark demon hiding in the secret realm of Da Ze was a bit unreasonable.
Lu Chen muttered: "They must have other purposes."
Lanling paused and asked, "Who?"
"Several colleges." Lu Chen pointed, and the dragon-binding technique on Lan Lingdao was released.
Lan Lingdao was naturally not stupid. He knew what Lu Chen was saying. Lu Chen was just an outsider who had been here for a while. It was obvious to outsiders that he, a local, naturally knew some information and said: "This time, several major colleges have surprisingly united together.
This matter seems to be a concerted effort by the Southern Territory to eliminate demons and defend the law, but I guess there is something fishy about it."
Lu Chen said: "Oh? Come and listen."
"I have some gossip, these big forces have big plans." Lan Lingdao said mysteriously.
"Could it be?"
Based on what Lan Lingdao said just now, Lu Chen probably already knew the purpose of several major forces in the southern region. He was surprised and said: "Aren't they afraid of getting themselves into trouble?"
Ever since Lu Chen entered the secret realm of Daze and then to the Forbidden Mountain, all the things he saw about the Dark Demon were extremely terrifying. The Dark Demon that was released and the scratches outside the Forbidden Mountain that seemed to be torn apart by the Dark Demon were all without exception.
It shows how powerful the dark demon is.
Such powerful creatures are all derived from that mysterious object. If the forces in the southern region want to swallow this piece of meat, they have to see if they have this ability.
Lan Lingdao said: "The temptation of that thing is enough to make several major colleges take a gamble, and it's not just the Southern Region who knows the news. I heard that the group of bald donkeys who don't eat fireworks from the Western Region have also entered the Southern Region, and they probably want to get a piece of it.
Soup. Aren’t you the same?"
The Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, and most of its territory is desert. At that time, Buddhism was not very popular. Taoism was flourishing and Buddhism was declining. Buddhism retreated to the Western Region and clung to Qingdeng to avoid decline.
The Western Regions are desolate all year round, and occasionally people go to visit the historical sites, where they often see a strange phenomenon. When walking in the deserts of the Western Regions at night, you can occasionally see a green lantern hanging high to guide the direction.
Lu Chen hesitated. Could this be the purpose of the academy sending Li Wei here? But Li Wei did not mention these things to him.
"What do you want to do next?" Lu Chen looked at Lan Lingdao and asked.
Lan Ling paused, with a hint of joy on his face. He knew Lu Chen would not hurt his life, and said: "Of course I, a little person, have no idea about that thing. I originally planned to hunt for some wild goods in the Forbidden Mountain, but I
Now I have changed my mind. "Huanghuo is a slang term, referring to treasures buried underground.
Lan Lingdao said sincerely: "If fellow Taoist fellows don't mind, I am willing to help you in this troubled place." Lan Lingdao, a person who even the ancient fierce apes are willing to follow, naturally saw Lu Chen's extraordinaryness. From just now
Judging from the strength Lu Chen showed, although his level may not be much higher than his own, he has endless methods. If he hadn't surrendered earlier just now, he might have been accidentally killed.
Lan Ling was more willing to follow Chase Lu than to the group of people from the academy.
"You?" Lu Chen glanced at Lan Lingdao questioningly. Lan Lingdao was notorious and had offended many people. If you took him with you, you would be implicated to some extent.
Although Lanling Dao is at the seventh level of the Earth Yuan Realm and has very good strength, for Lu Chen, the seventh level of the Earth Yuan Realm is not of much help to him.
Of course, what's more important is that Lu Chen doesn't really believe him.
"I forgot to introduce myself." Lan Lingdao nodded and said: "My name is Lan Lingdao. He comes from Dayan Mountain. He doesn't have any great skills. He knows some Zhouyi Bagua techniques and has a deep research on Feng Shui... By the way.
Don’t you know the name of your benefactor?”
Dayan Mountain belongs to the northern side of the Southern Territory. It is not a big mountain, but a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles. There are many geomantic treasures there, which are called cornucopias.
"Lu Chen."
But having said that, the disappearance of the people in the front made Lu Chen even more anxious. Lan Lingdao said that he was proficient in the study of Zhouyi Bagua Feng Shui, which also made Lu Chen very interested. He felt that although this person had a bad nature, it would be useful for him to find his senior brother in the future.
Xu Tianshen and others were very helpful, and he had no worries about being implicated.
Lan Lingdao saw Lu Chen relax his vigilance and understood Lu Chen's thoughts, so he said: "Although the devil's cave we are in has been in decline for a thousand years, it is still full of dangers. The scary thing is that we don't know what happened here a thousand years ago."
We don’t know anything, and we don’t know what’s ahead.” He saw that Lu Chen cared about everyone.
"Have you really never seen my senior brother and others?" Lu Chen confirmed this matter again. He was now very anxious and did not know where senior brother Li Wei was at this time.
Lan Lingdao shook his head. He had indeed never seen anyone else enter here. He said: "Tongtian Sect was very powerful back then. This was their core place. There were agencies everywhere. It might be spread to other places. Anyway, don't do it.
Just be transferred to that place."
The Tongtian Sect buried in the desert is strange and unpredictable. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. Lu Chen dare not think about it anymore.
His primary goal now is to find Li Wei and others. Maybe Senior Brother and others are still somewhere, waiting for him to rescue them.
The two of them exited the side hall, and Lu Chen entered the main hall again.
In the main hall, twelve statues of gods stood tall. Lu Chen looked at the statues and felt a little strange.
Looking at it again, Lu Chen took a breath of air: "Did this thing have no face just now?" He confirmed with the ancient murderous ape beside him.
The ancient ferocious ape nodded dully.
Moreover, the positions of the statues have been changed! Originally, there were six statues on each side of the hall, but at this time, two of them have been moved to the other side, creating a situation of seven to five confrontations.
The side of the seven statues is close to the gate. For Lu Chen, this is a dangerous signal.
"Oops, these twelve Holy Envoy statues have been activated!"
Lan Lingdao exclaimed: "This is a statue based on the Twelve Holy Envoys of Tongtian Sect. It has a charming connotation. It is not only a sacred object worshiped by the emperor, but also the guardian of this place."
Immediately afterwards, the other five moved together under Lu Chen's shocked eyes, forming a long snake formation to guard the door of the hall.
"Every one of the holy envoys of the Tongtian Sect is in the Tianyuan realm!" Lan Lingdao once again revealed a piece of information.
Lu Chen did not hesitate and ran directly towards the gate, but it was too late. Before he could get close to the gate, he was bounced back by a strange force.
"It's over! I can't get out." Lan Lingdao said fearfully.
"Don't panic, what are the origins of these twelve statues?" Lu Chen needs to know more information before he can find a way to crack it.
Lan Lingdao said: "The twelve statues embody the wisdom of the sages and the hard work of the twelve messengers. Once the statues are activated, they will kill those who disrespect them before they stop."
Obviously, the statue positioned Lu Chen as a disrespectful person. He had not just entered the main hall. It should have been the movement caused by Lu Chen in the side hall that activated the statue.
"Then how to crack it?" Lu Chen asked.
"Only by defeating them all can we get out." Lan Lingdao calmed down. He often went underground and had seen countless dangers. Countless escapes from death told him that as long as he calmed down, there would be a way.
Are you kidding me?
How can one defeat the twelve Tianyuan Realm masters? Lu Chen has never fought against a strong Tianyuan Realm master so far. Now, fighting against the twelve Tianyuan Realm masters with the eighth level of the Earth Yuan Realm is tantamount to striking an egg against a stone.
"Offender, die!" A statue with six arms, its eyes lit up with colorful divine light, and the first statue was activated.
The six arms are like copper skin and iron bones, but they transform into thousands of them when they are interlaced. This is the scene of the so-called Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara.
Each arm of the statue has an arc of fire, which looks like a spiritual snake in mid-air. The shadows of the hands are superimposed and the reality cannot be seen clearly.
Lu Chen turned over and jumped backwards. The blow from the statue rubbed Lu Chen's back. One palm missed, and the next one came one after another, burning the clothes on Lu Chen's shoulders into ashes. Lu Chen stood on
Looking in front of the statue, I looked at the marks on the shoulders and saw that the skin had been burned.
There was a burning pain from the wound, and he frowned and said, "Is this how powerful the Tianyuan Realm is?"
"Don't confront him head-on. As soon as the time is up, this stone statue should stop." Lan Lingdao reminded from a distance.
"Those who offend shall die!"
The second statue was activated. It was a very tall statue, as tall as Lu Chen and four people. It seemed to have autonomous consciousness and did not attack Lu Chen. Instead, it crashed into Taikoo like a wild bull.
Fierce ape.
The ancient ferocious ape's wild nature was aroused, and it didn't even dodge. Instead, it faced the blow head-on. With a "boom", the ancient ferocious ape was knocked away by the statue, hit the stone door, and was bounced back.
The ancient vicious ape struck another huge fist.
The ancient vicious ape concentrated all its strength on its arms to resist, and the punch hit it firmly, knocking it away directly.
Even though it was an ancient ferocious ape with copper skin and iron bones, it couldn't bear this frontal blow that was comparable to the Tianyuan realm. It vomited blood and let out the roar of a wild beast. There was no fear in its eyes, but a kind of high spirits.
of fighting spirit.
As it roared, it took the initiative to attack, transforming into five identical ancient ferocious apes, and rushed towards the tall statue.
Lu Chen was overwhelmed. The Thousand-Handed Statue was very difficult to deal with, forcing Lu Chen into a blind corner. Lu Chen's sword skills burst out, and he stabbed the statue between the eyebrows with extraordinary force.
The statue's Thousand Hands didn't just attack blindly. When Lu Chen's killing sword approached the forehead of the statue, it was firmly held by one of the statue's arms. Lu Chen quickly drew the sword, but felt the force coming from his hand as if he was trapped.
