Chapter 146 His Cheap Master
As he finished speaking, the profound power of cloud and thunder was poured into the sword, causing it to vibrate and hum. With a light yet swift slash, a pale purple arc of light swept towards the three demons opposite him. After a pause of a second, it emitted the sound of a spiritual pressure explosion.
The Azure Demon was indeed powerful, reacting quickly to dodge, while the two Green Demons who were a little slower were not so lucky. The power of this sword energy was terrifying, easily breaking through the demon race's defensive demonic energy. One of the Green Demons was seriously injured, while the other was slightly better off, flying back more than ten feet and barely managing to stop.
-
Fu Xun crippled one demon with a single move, and the other green demon dared not test his strength. Only the blue demon remained, engaging Fu Xun in a fierce battle. Fu Xun's eyes were cold and indifferent as he intentionally or unintentionally led the blue demon away from the center of the restriction.
A moment later, Leng Huan teleported to the side of the injured Nascent Soul cultivator and asked, "Why did you all come here?"
While casually launching an ice blade attack on the Green Demon who was entangled with a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Green Demon sensed an unusual killing intent. He abandoned his attack on the Nascent Soul cultivator and turned to block the unstoppable ice blade. He barely managed to block the attack, only to discover that his demonic weapon had been eroded and cracked by the ice blade!
Before he could even finish his shock, another barrage of ice spikes rained down upon him. The Green Demon dared not underestimate them and quickly dodged, but the ice spikes were so dense and inescapable that he had no choice but to grit his teeth and summon all his remaining demonic energy to form a shield to defend himself.
However, blocking one or two ice spikes was not enough to stop them all. After the shield's power was exhausted, the Green Demon was pierced through the body by the ice spikes, leaving a hole in his heart.
This power was incredibly pure, seemingly antagonistic to demonic energy, and spread like wildfire, quickly devouring the great demon's body. Once the demonic energy dissipated, the green demon perished.
Leng Huan cast a spell to imprison the Green Demon's soul within its body, preparing to burn it away.
The Nascent Soul cultivator stared at Leng Huan in shock, wondering who she was. She was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, yet she had easily wiped out the demon race that had been suppressing them. She was truly unfathomable!
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly formidable! You are not a cultivator from the Southern Continent, are you?"
Leng Huan mobilized his profound energy to circulate through his meridians and stabilize his spiritual energy and blood. His stomach had just moved restlessly for a while.
It seems that excessively vigorous spiritual energy circulation is affecting the little thing.
Upon hearing this, she nodded: "I am from the same sect as... that Nascent Soul cultivator over there. We come from the Eastern Sea Continent and are disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect."
Accents vary slightly across different continents, that's undeniable, and besides...
Another Nascent Soul cultivator excitedly chimed in, "The Misty Immortal Sect! Is that the ancient and powerful sect in the far east of the Eastern Sea Continent?!"
Leng Huan nodded: "The Misty Immortal Sect is unique in the entire Eastern Sea Continent."
With both green demons dealt with, things eased up for the time being, and several Nascent Soul cultivators gathered around to exchange a few pleasantries.
The one with the highest Nascent Soul cultivation naturally took the lead in bowing to Leng Huan: "Thanks to your help, fellow Daoist! Otherwise, the demon race might not have been able to escape unscathed today."
Leng Huan politely returned the greeting: "It's nothing to mention. In the face of the demon race, we human cultivators should naturally stand united against our common enemy and face them together!"
These words were very righteous, and the Nascent Soul cultivators were convinced and did not look down on her because she was too young and a woman.
The Nascent Soul Peak cultivator exclaimed, "I never imagined that you, fellow Daoist, were a disciple of the Misty Immortal Sect. Back in the day, there was a genius sword cultivator who also claimed to be a member of the Misty Immortal Sect. He came to the Southern Continent, eliminating evil and promoting good, and roaming the martial world with his sword. His reputation spread far and wide. I wonder if you know him? Perhaps he is your master."
When you're out and about, there are certain things to consider when chatting. What familiar things can help you connect with others?
Leng Huan's mind raced: "I wonder, what is the name of the person you speak of, fellow Daoist?"
The Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, dressed in a dark blue robe, with white hair, a middle-aged face, and an upright appearance, replied, "My name is Song Kaiyang."
Song Kaiyang? Leng Huan was stunned. It really was him!
This is the former peak master of Wenjian Peak, Zhang Zhaoying's senior brother, and Fu Xun's master whom he has never met!
Hiss... So he came to the Southern Continent back then!
The other two Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement, saying, "We've also heard of Song Kaiyang. He was quite famous in the Southern Continent back then! He won the championship at the Sword Debate Tournament, taking on one of the top sword cultivators in the Southern Continent and never suffering a defeat! He became famous in one battle."
Leng Huan revealed a look of sudden realization: "I see. Thanks to you all for informing me. If I'm not mistaken, that person might be my junior brother's master, the very elder of my sect..."
Just as they were about to dig deeper into Song Kaiyang's whereabouts, Fu Xun returned after defeating the Green Demon.
He fought Qingmo for dozens of rounds. Fu Xun rarely encountered an opponent who could fight him on equal terms. His fighting spirit soared. He seized the opportunity to fight Qingmo and forced out all of the demons' trump cards. He felt that it was enough and sent Qingmo to his death with a single sword strike.
He even captured a Nascent Soul-level Azure Demon Soul, but he wouldn't mention such a thing to Leng Huan.
His return was unfortunate; he happened to hear the words "my sect's elders," and his gaze fell upon Leng Huan, raising an eyebrow with a questioning expression.
But before Leng Huan could speak, the Nascent Soul cultivators beside him all cupped their hands and politely greeted Fu Xun, saying, "Thank you for your help, Senior!"
Leng Huan: "..."
The group exchanged names and pleasantries. It was a rare opportunity to build a good relationship with a high-level cultivator, so they had to make the most of it.
The peak Nascent Soul cultivator was named Zhou Zhentian, the injured Nascent Soul cultivator was named Qian Duo, and the third Nascent Soul cultivator was named Luo Chenggang.
The array cultivator that Leng Huan saw earlier was the injured Qian Duo, a Nascent Soul stage array cultivator, who could be considered a master of array formations!
These Nascent Soul cultivators were all elders of their respective sects, but they were at a disadvantage because they didn't understand the Demon Clan, and they were initially at a disadvantage.
In fact, she was the Nascent Soul cultivator with the lowest cultivation level in the arena, but she was by no means weak.
After glancing at Fu Xun, Leng Huan continued to ask Zhou Zhentian, "Does Fellow Daoist Zhou know where my elder went in the end? Did he leave the Southern Continent?"
Zhou Zhentian shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. I heard that he left the Southern Continent and no one has seen him since."
So that's how it is. Did Song Kaiyang return to the Eastern Sea Continent? Then where did he go for decades? The sect's soul lamp hadn't gone out, so everyone assumed he'd gone traveling...
Leng Huan's mind raced for a moment before he looked at the middle-aged man named Qian Duo, a refined and scholarly cultivator. "This fellow Daoist is a high-level array cultivator. May I ask for your help?"
Qian Duo cupped his hands in greeting: "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Please speak."
-
Leng Huan briefly explained the grand formation and restrictions, and everyone looked at the central rocky mountain. The terrain and the distribution of rocks were orderly despite the apparent chaos, making them difficult to detect.
Before preparing to break the formation, Leng Huan mentioned the two Green Demon souls that had been sealed away earlier, which she hadn't had time to deal with yet. Fu Xun smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
He used a special sealing talisman to collect two demon souls. These green demon souls were easier to extract than the blue ones. Leng Huan entrusted the task to him with peace of mind, and she went over there to find the array base with the Nascent Soul cultivators.
Without making a sound, Fu Xun collected the demon soul, then pretended to summon lightning to strike the demon's physical body, causing it to vanish into thin air.
Hearing the noise, Leng Huan glanced over and saw Fu Xun lowering his hand from the hand seal. The next moment, she turned her head back to continue examining the vast array base around her.
This grand array, composed of multiple advanced formations, has its bases scattered throughout the ground, each linked to the next. The sheer volume of array patterns that ripple when spiritual energy touches it is dazzling, making it difficult for anyone other than a professional to find the correct path to break the array.
If the formation is broken by force, it will inevitably trigger the killing formation.
Tsk, as for how Long Aotian got in in the original text... we can only say it was fate, or a series of coincidences. It was precisely because he forcibly underwent the Nascent Soul Tribulation, bombarding and destroying the great formation, that he naturally...
After an incense stick had burned, and having examined all the array bases, everyone was stunned for a moment in front of the enormous array that had existed for countless years.
Luo Chenggang exclaimed, "This formation is ingenious! Its spiritual energy circulates endlessly for thousands of years! I wonder who created it!"
Zhou Zhentian: "For so many years, no one has known that such a great formation is hidden in this desolate Red Rock Mountain!"
While the secret realm may not be covered in restrictive formations, it's safe to say that restrictions are present everywhere.
Qian Duo looked thoughtfully at Leng Huan and Fu Xun, and murmured, "These are all very high-level formations. It will probably take a long time to break them. I wonder what lies beneath these formations?"
Leng Huan let out a long sigh: "We wanted to get to the central Qiankun Tower through here... but we didn't expect this formation to be so huge."
Of course, this is the hidden entrance to an underground lava cave. The lava valley is vast, and what is exposed is only the lava canyon. Who would know that there is another world beneath the rolling lava?
Upon hearing that it would take a long time to solve, Fu Xun frowned and asked for confirmation, "How long do you estimate it will take, Fellow Daoist Qian?"
