Chapter 1034: Demon-Suppressing Ring, Ice Soul Valley

The Profound Green Child thought this way, coughed a few times, and just as he was about to say something to appease the two people before him, a cold voice came from afar.

"Why, are you planning to force your way in, fellow Daoists, just because our Heavenly Demon Sect and the Taiyi Sect don't allow you to enter?"

As soon as these words came, the Luo-surnamed old man's face changed slightly, and then a streak of black light shot over from afar, reaching the few people in the blink of an eye.

After the light converged, a middle-aged scholar in a black robe with a hooked nose appeared.

As soon as this person appeared, his gaze swept over the Luo-surnamed old man and the cultivator in the green mist, his brows filled with gloom and harshness.

"Seven-Wonderful True Person!" The Luo-surnamed old man immediately recognized the scholar and couldn't help but gasp.

This was not to say that this Seven-Wonderful True Person's divine abilities far exceeded the Profound Green Child's, but rather that the scholar, as the law-enforcement elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, had extremely cruel and ruthless methods of dealing with enemies and was a famous demonic giant in the Great Jin. Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like the Luo-surnamed old man would never want to provoke him.

"Daoist Seven-Wonderful is joking. Since your sect and the Taiyi Sect are so solemn, it seems that the rift is indeed somewhat dangerous. It doesn't matter if I wait a few days," the Luo-surnamed old man laughed and retreated back into the crowd.

The cultivator in the green mist also turned and left without a word.

But the other cultivators nearby, seeing that the first great sects of the righteous and demonic paths had actually joined forces, were in an uproar.

Now, even an idiot knew that the thing behind the seal was absolutely extraordinary. Otherwise, how could the two great sects take such a tough stance?

However, forced by the powerful influence of the two sects joining forces, the loose cultivators and small sect cultivators dared not speak out despite their anger. Those cultivators from slightly larger sects were also unwilling to easily be the first to stick their necks out.

At this moment, seven or eight more Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators flew over from afar, all of them Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators.

After arriving here, they didn't say a word and threw out array disks and magic flags, setting up a restrictive array in the blink of an eye, conjuring thick white mist to completely cover the rift entrance. The Profound Green Child, the Seven-Wonderful True Person, and others actually turned and entered the magic array, disappearing without a trace.

This left the cultivators of the small and medium sects nearby, who had originally wanted to see if there were any bargains to be had, looking at each other in dismay.

The Profound Green Child entered the middle of the magic array, let out a long breath, stopped his steps, and suddenly smiled slightly at the Seven-Wonderful True Person:

"Brother Seven-Wonderful, you arrived much faster than I expected. But fortunately, otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to suppress those fellow Daoists. Only someone with your great reputation, Daoist, could make them feel such great awe."

"Are you trying to say that I am notorious, Daoist?" The middle-aged scholar heard this but replied with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Haha, how could I think so," the Profound Green Child laughed dryly twice.

"Alright. Let's not talk about other things. This time, both you and I are here on orders and had no choice but to come. I just heard from afar what you said, Daoist, it seems that the Yin Luo Sect people have already entered. Who entered? Could it be that Old Demon Qian came! Otherwise, how could you have let them in, Daoist?" The scholar frowned and said.

"When I arrived, Old Demon Qian had already entered the seal with several loose cultivators. Later, the Yin Luo Sect and some people from the Heavenly South Prairie also entered, including a Great Immortal Master from the Heavenly South Prairie. I didn't know that this seal was so important at the time, so I didn't stop them too firmly," the Profound Green Child also became solemn. However, whether it was an oversight or not, he didn't mention the two women from the Transformation Immortal Sect at all.

"Hmph, I didn't expect the Ye family to use a diversionary tactic, using a replica of a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure on the surface to attract the attention of our two sects, while secretly wanting to take this true Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. If it weren't for the fact that we had planted a mole in the Ye family a long time ago, we would still be kept in the dark," the Seven-Wonderful True Person said gloomily.

"It's a pity that the Ye family's actions this time were truly tight. Although that mole knew this news a long time ago, he was unable to send it out in advance. He could only destroy some of their magic arrays before taking advantage of the chaos to escape. Otherwise, if we had received this news earlier, we wouldn't have given them the chance to break the seal at all. Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures are indeed rare, but if that ancient Demon Ancestor incarnation is released, that would be a case of the loss outweighing the gain. Old Demon Qian has been inside for so long, he might have already found the place of the seal," the Profound Green Child sighed.

"Old Demon Qian is not a fool; he wouldn't do something that harms others without benefiting himself. On the contrary, I am not very at ease with those Heavenly South Prairie cultivators. They are not Great Jin cultivators and don't have so many scruples," the Seven-Wonderful True Person shook his head.

"Oh, I heard that your sect has some connections with the Heavenly South Holy Palace. I didn't expect you to be so wary of them, Daoist," the Profound Green Child laughed upon hearing this.

"What connections, just some exchanges of interests," the Seven-Wonderful True Person said dismissively.

"The ancient cultivators' seal, is it so easy to open? As long as those people haven't unlocked the ancient demon restrictions, with our two sects joining forces, I think we can also stop their recklessness. If that ancient demon incarnation has already been released, that demon has been suppressed for so many years and must have had its vitality greatly damaged. With you and me joining forces, plus the five Demon-Suppressing Rings I brought, it should be enough to subdue it again," the Seven-Wonderful True Person said slowly.

"Demon-Suppressing Ring? Is it that kind of ancient magic tool passed down from the Spirit Realm specifically for trapping demons?" Upon hearing the name of this object, the Profound Green Child's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Correct, this is a treasure brought by Spirit Realm cultivators when the ancient Demon Realm invaded, specifically for dealing with high-level ancient demons. Even if it is the incarnation of the ancient Demon Ancestor being sealed, with five Demon-Suppressing Rings on its body, it can only obediently be captured," the Seven-Wonderful True Person sneered.

"That's good. Originally, I was still worried that this trip had some risks. I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared, Daoist Seven-Wonderful, even finding such ancient treasures," the Profound Green Child's expression relaxed.

"I don't have such strange treasures. These five Demon-Suppressing Rings were sent by the person in our sect along with the order. On the contrary, didn't the person in your Taiyi Sect send you any treasures to deal with the enemy, Daoist?" The scholar glanced at the old Daoist, a look of disbelief on his face.

"I set off in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare any treasures. However, this time when I left the sect, I brought the Heavenly Awe Divine Sword with me. I think it can also help you, Daoist," the Profound Green Child said with a bitter smile.

"Heavenly Awe Divine Sword? This treasure is indeed the most suitable for dealing with demons," the scholar nodded, seemingly quite satisfied.

"However, I still don't understand. I received a handwritten letter from the person in the sect, actually telling us not to harm the ancient demon's life unless it is a last resort, and it is best to seal it again. What does this mean? Wouldn't it be better to kill it to prevent future trouble!" The Profound Green Child suddenly asked this.

"Who knows! I received the same order. However, thinking about it, the ancient cultivators didn't kill this demon back then either. It seems there must be some special reason for this. Let's just do as the above says," the scholar thought for a moment and said solemnly.

"What you said is right, Daoist! We shouldn't make more trouble to avoid causing other incidents. Has Brother Seven-Wonderful brought the Spirit Turtle Flying Carriage? Let's hurry and go in," the Profound Green Child nodded thoughtfully, then swept his gaze toward the rift entrance.

The scholar heard this, laughed, shook his sleeves, and a mass of black light wrapped around a flat, round object and shot out.

After circling in front of the two, the object grew with the wind and turned into a spirit carriage several zhang in size in the blink of an eye, looking like a huge turtle shell.

Seeing this, the Profound Green Child smiled slightly.

Immediately, the scholar and the Profound Green Child each gave a few instructions to the cultivators who came with them, and the two flickered and drilled into the carriage.

The spirit carriage turned into a black rainbow and flew straight into the rift.

True Cai Huan Mountain is one of the four great spiritual veins of the Great Jin, and the Taiyi Sect, known as the first sect of the righteous path, is located in this mountain range.

And the Taiyi Sect is known as the first sect of the righteous path, and its power is so great that, except for the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, which can barely compete with it, no one in the entire Great Jin can compare to it. Therefore, in the True Cai Huan Mountain range, which is 100,000 li wide, hundreds of large and small spirit mountains are under the control of the Taiyi Sect cultivators.

And Ice Soul Valley is an inconspicuous small mountain valley in this mountain range.

This valley is very different from the other spirit mountains and spirit lands in the mountain range that are spring-like all year round. Not only is the spiritual energy scarce, but the cold wind is biting, and the entire mountain valley is crystal clear all year round, covered by a thick layer of ice and snow.

But such a harsh place that ordinary cultivators wouldn't even want to look at is one of the forbidden lands of the Taiyi Sect that few people know about.

Ordinary disciples have not only never been to this mountain valley, but few have even heard of it.

And in such a mysterious place, apart from a magic array at the valley entrance to cover it, there are no restrictions outside, and there are no Taiyi Sect cultivators guarding outside the valley.

But in fact, no one has dared to set foot in this valley for hundreds of years. Even if an elder with high authority occasionally comes to this place, he only speaks respectfully outside the valley and never dares to enter.

But on this day, just as the Seven-Wonderful True Person and the Profound Green Child of the Southern Border entered the seal rift, a gray-robed old man with a sickly face appeared at the valley entrance like a ghost.

He looked at the magic array at the valley entrance, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes, he coughed twice, then turned into a green light and shot into the valley, treating the magic array at the valley entrance as nothing.

After a moment of effort, the green light faded at the end of the mountain valley, and the old man revealed his figure.

Looking coldly at a huge ice wall in front of him, he suddenly sank his face and said coldly:

"Old Ghost Bai, knowing that I, Hu, have arrived, why do you still hide in the coffin and not come out to see a guest!"

The old man's voice was not loud, but a moment later, the entire Ice Valley rumbled with this voice, repeating over and over again like thunder.

The ice wall in front was trembling, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any time.

But the gray-robed old man ignored this, narrowed his eyes, and stood in front of the ice wall without moving.
