Chapter 1003: Demons Emerging

"The spiritual energy here is abundant, why should I leave? Although I don't know what the outside world looks like now, I can't find a place in the mortal world more suitable for cultivation than here. I will cultivate here until the day I ascend," the ugly woman's face changed upon hearing the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha mention the life-bound tablets, her tone becoming even stiffer. (Web)

"Fellow Daoist Gui, you know clearly that the seal is broken; it is fundamentally impossible to cultivate on this mountain. Why persist in being stubborn? Moreover, speaking of which, we have quite a connection; we should join forces to overcome this difficulty, right?" The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha frowned.

"There is indeed some connection. You are a human cultivator's physical body cultivated into a spirit, while I and the Lion-Fowl Beast were spirit birds and spirit beasts kept by that person in the past, and we were all imprisoned in the Spirit-Trapping Array by those cultivators together," the ugly woman surnamed Gui didn't deny it, her expression softening slightly as she nodded.

"That is why the three of us have the possibility of joining forces. And that Mount Kunwu Palace has barriers specifically designed to restrain us, so we normally cannot approach it. Now that there are human cultivators clearing the path for us, we just need to sneak in behind them, and then take action together to retrieve the life-bound tablets, which will be an easy task."

"Hmph! You make it sound easy. But I heard from the Lion-Fowl Beast that these two groups of cultivators are quite numerous, and there are late-stage cultivators leading them. By the way, that cultivator you mentioned who is very troublesome and suspected of having a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure seems to be mixed in with these people. If we don't get the life-bound tablets, we might end up getting ourselves into trouble. I have been imprisoned enough. I would rather not have these life-bound tablets, and at worst, I will drill into the deep spiritual veins of this mountain and sleep for another thousand years. By then, even if they have the life-bound tablets, I won't meet them at all. What can they do to me?" The ugly woman was moved, but still refused to easily loosen her mouth.

"Don't forget. I am also quite proficient in Earth Escape Techniques," the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha said impatiently, his face sinking.

"What do you mean by that?" The woman stared with a pair of huge green eyes, her gaze cold as she looked at the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha.

"Very simple, if my life-bound tablet is taken by these humans and they ask about related matters, I definitely won't be able to refuse to tell them about you. Do you think these cultivators will easily let go of a ten-level Profound Rock Turtle's demon core? By then, I will definitely be sent to hunt you down!" the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha said plainly.

"Since that's the case, you hide with me, won't that be fine?" The woman hummed a few times, a trace of anger appearing on her face.

"I won't let go of this opportunity to retrieve the life-bound tablet, nor do I want to be trapped on this mountain for the rest of my life. You know, without being able to absorb the Yin Moon Essence from outside the mountain, I will never be able to evolve into a Golden Body Moon Corpse," the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha said impolitely.

"Hmph, you are threatening me!" The woman suddenly jumped several feet high, pointing at the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha and cursing loudly.

"Hehe, whether it's a threat, Fellow Daoist Gui can judge for yourself. Don't forget. You still owe me a favor. Back then, that group of ancient cultivators cast the Violent Blood Curse on us to make us mindless fools; if I hadn't shared a Clear Void Pill with you in secret, you would have become a creature that only knew how to kill and go mad long ago. How could you have the cultivation you have today?" The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha flapped his silver wings behind him, his voice turning cold.

"I naturally remember this favor," the woman's aura dropped significantly upon hearing about the Violent Blood Curse.

"But don't forget, besides us, there should be a fourth guy who was teleported here. We haven't met it until now, and we don't know if it's a ghost or a demon. If we can join forces with it, I might consider it," the woman said after being silent for a while, finally relaxing her tone.

"I have already searched everywhere, but I didn't find the location of the fourth Spirit-Trapping Array, nor did I find any traces of other demons or ghosts. Perhaps that fourth guy was unlucky and is no longer here. After all, it didn't have a Clear Void Pill to maintain its sanity, and the possibility of a bloodthirsty mad creature still existing after so many years is truly not high. And even if it really exists, there is no time to search for it carefully now," the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha shook his head.

The ugly woman's expression was uncertain.

After a long while, she finally sighed and said fiercely:

"Fine, since you mentioned the Clear Void Pill, I will help you one more time. But it's agreed, as soon as we get the life-bound tablets, we leave immediately. I don't want to stay on this broken mountain either; I'll just find an uninhabited place outside and cultivate in seclusion from now on."

"That's right. As long as we have our freedom, with our cultivation, where can't we go in the world?" The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha revealed a trace of joy; this woman transformed from a Profound Rock Turtle had abilities even slightly stronger than his, making her a powerful helper.

"However, before taking action, we must plan carefully. Since those human cultivators already know about the existence of you two fellow Daoists, we must be careful not to fall into their traps," the woman became exceptionally calm after agreeing.

"That goes without saying!" This time, the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha agreed without hesitation.

The Lion-Fowl Beast to the side also let out a low roar.

Immediately, the three monsters discussed in low voices under the giant tree. After a full meal's time, the three suddenly soared into the air and flew toward the stone staircase.

In the blink of an eye, the area under the giant tree became silent, with only the sound of the breeze blowing by.

After an unknown amount of time, another seemingly ordinary tree near the giant tree suddenly shook, and then shrank rapidly from large to small. In a shroud of green light, two huge green eyes suddenly appeared on the surface of the tree.

These eyes were exceptionally crystalline green, turning slightly, coldly looking in the direction where the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha and the others had disappeared, without a trace of emotion.

This tree was actually transformed by an unknown monster; the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha and the other three monsters, despite having astonishing abilities, hadn't discovered this monster right under their noses. It was truly incredible.

This monster stared at the sky for a long time, then green light flashed on its body, and with a 'whoosh', the tree it had transformed into sank into the ground and disappeared.

Only then did this place truly become quiet and deserted.

On the other side, Han Li and the others, after seeing the Lion-Fowl Beast disappear, had no intention of staying in the stone palace any longer, and flew out of the palace quickly.

As soon as they were outside the palace, they naturally encountered the same flight-prohibition situation as the Ye family cultivators, and fell from the air one after another.

This startled them, but they were also overjoyed. Naturally, they knew they had finally reached the key area of Mount Mount Kunwu.

"What is that?" Bai Bai Yaoyi let out a coquettish cry, her bright eyes staring into the distance of the stone staircase, her jade face full of shock.

The others were stunned and hurriedly looked over. Only then did they discover that several miles away, the stone staircase was winding and disappearing into a large bamboo forest that reached the sky.

This bamboo forest was entirely made of giant purple bamboos that one person could embrace, dense and numerous, covering almost every place within sight in the distance. The white jade square that should have existed in front had also been completely covered by the bamboo forest, disappearing without a trace.

And the bamboo forest was filled with faint purple energy, and the astonishing spiritual pressure faintly coming from it made Han Li and the others feel a chill in their hearts.

"This magic array seems to be much more powerful than the Ice-Flame Two-Pole Array. However, this should also be the last barrier set up by that group of people. As long as we break this array, we can catch up with them," Hua Hua Tianqi looked at the ancient palace vaguely visible ahead, his expression somewhat solemn.

"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for?" Old Demon Qian let out a wild laugh, and the five demon children transformed into a sheet of light, shooting straight toward the bamboo forest.

Hua Hua Tianqi hesitated for a moment, then took the other Poison Saint Sect members and drifted toward the purple bamboo forest.

"Let's go too. Eh, Brother Han, what's wrong with you?" The old man surnamed Fu greeted, and just as he wanted to lift his leg to leave, he suddenly discovered that Han Li's face was extremely ugly, appearing somewhat wrong, and couldn't help but be startled inside.

"It's nothing, let's go over," Han Li took a deep breath, his expression returning to normal in an instant. Then, with a sway of his figure, he didn't want to say more and drifted several zhang away.

The old man stroked his chin, and although he was suspicious, he could only keep the matter in his heart and follow closely.

The old man surnamed Fu naturally didn't know that just a moment ago, the dozens of flying swords in Han Li's body had trembled for no reason. This startled him, and he immediately knew that the Ancient Demon was also on this mountain.

How could Han Li's face look good after this!

Could it be that the Ancient Demon was among the cultivators ahead? How could this demon mix in and run to this mountain? Could it be that there was something this demon cared about here, or was there some other conspiracy?

A series of thoughts surged in Han Li's mind instantly, making his mind completely chaotic, unable to maintain his inner peace.

This wasn't to say that Han Li, who possessed the Three-Flame Fan and the Nascent Soul late-stage puppet, was still terrified of this Ancient Demon, but the timing of this demon's appearance was truly too strange.

Such a large Great Jin actually made him encounter this demon one after another, and combined with the matter of the Ten Thousand Zhang Demon Abyss in Tiannan, it was still fresh in his memory. This gave Han Li a bad feeling deep in his heart.

At this moment, Old Demon Qian had already driven the five demon children to the edge of the bamboo forest, and streams of gray cold energy sprayed from the white shadows, rushing toward the bamboo forest.

And the purple bamboo forest let out a humming sound, and seven purple light pillars suddenly shot into the sky from various parts of the bamboo forest, and then the purple energy in the bamboo forest seemed to come alive, transforming into purple waves that actually blocked the gray cold energy, the two intertwining and tearing at each other like two monsters.

The Poison Saint Sect elders and the big man and other cultivators who arrived later, upon seeing this, also used their abilities without hesitation, and instantly various treasures transformed into light of various colors, rolling toward the bamboo forest.

Just as Han Li also sprayed out several flying swords silently and joined the attack absent-mindedly. Outside the seal, outside the underground passage that had been re-sealed due to the illusion array's self-destruction, several more groups of uninvited guests arrived.
