Chapter 1173: Second Nascent Soul and Heavenly Fiend Demon Corpse

"Senior Uncle Han? Are you talking about..." Mu Mu Peiling was startled, stuttering somewhat.

"That's right, it's the Fellow Daoist Zi Ling I mentioned to Junior Sister Mu once. She once accompanied Senior Uncle to break into the inner valley, so she knew such a stable route." The woman surnamed Song smiled gently.

"This girl Zi Ling, I saw her once decades ago. She is indeed a beauty like a celestial being, even we women are somewhat moved when we see her. I heard that there are many male cultivators with great status who pursue this woman bitterly, and just for the sake of jealousy, I don't know how many battles and fights have occurred. She is even called the number one beauty in the Tiannan cultivation world by those busybodies. However, this woman's origin is quite mysterious, and she has known Master for a long time, seemingly like a confidante. Junior Sister Mu, you have to be careful!" Liu Yu's eyes turned, and she laughed "giggle," her words full of teasing.

"What do I have to be careful about." Mu Mu Peiling's jade-like face flushed, and she spat lightly.

"Junior Sister Liu, don't tease Junior Sister Mu. Let's get down to business. Are the two Junior Sisters planning to break into the inner valley?" The woman surnamed Song straightened her expression and asked.

Mu Mu Peiling and Liu Yu looked at each other, revealing a look of hesitation.

"Senior Sister Song, is the route map that Zi Ling gave you really the route that Master walked back then? If so, it's not impossible to give it a try. After all, the Illusion Spirit Grass is related to the breakthrough of our bottlenecks in the future, and returning empty-handed like this is truly somewhat unwilling." Liu Yu raised her eyebrows and said slowly.

"If we only search for spiritual medicine near the entrance of the inner valley, I can go." Mu Mu Peiling's face was gloomy for a while, then she sighed lightly and said, unable to resist the temptation of the pills.

"Good, since both Junior Sisters have made up their minds. Then let's take a risk. However, let's agree beforehand, we will only be active within a few hundred li of the entrance of the inner valley. If we still can't find the Illusion Spirit Grass, we will immediately retreat from the inner valley and must not venture deeper. No matter how important the spiritual pills are, they are not as important as our lives." The woman surnamed Song nodded, but first gave a warning.

"That's natural. Venturing deep into the inner valley, even with a route map, with our mere Core Formation cultivation, is just 'suicide.' I heard that some ancient beasts in the inner valley would make even Nascent Soul cultivators flee at the sight of them." Liu Yu smiled sweetly.

"Those ancient beasts generally hide in the depths of the inner valley. If it's near the entrance, there won't be any problems. Without further ado, let's set off." Mu Mu Peiling said decisively.

The other two women were also unwilling to delay any longer, and the three transformed into three escape lights and soared from in front of the cave, shooting straight toward a certain direction.

Five days later, on the edge of the inner valley, in a world of ice and snow, the figures of three women appeared in the cold wind.

Not far behind them, there was a huge ice crack, which was the passage that Han Li and Zi Ling had followed a group of Ghost Spirit Sect people into the inner valley back then.

The three women had already activated their thick light shields, so they were not afraid of these cold winds.

They whispered for a while, then the three women, only a few zhang above the ground, flew slowly toward the distance, actually not daring to be the slightest bit faster.

And this snow area was not large, and the three women flew out of this area in just a quarter of an hour. A lush green mountain peak happened to appear in front of them.

The three women were overjoyed, and immediately their delicate bodies swayed, separating on their own, and began to search for spiritual herbs around this mountain.

One day and one night later, the three women gathered at the top of this mountain again.

After looking at each other, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"This mountain has many spiritual medicines that are not found in the outside world, but it just happens to have no trace of the Illusion Spirit Grass." Liu Yu said first, feeling exceptionally depressed.

"It's the same for me. I didn't find the Illusion Spirit Grass. But I have gathered the other herbs needed for the pills, so it's not a completely empty-handed return." Mu Mu Peiling also looked like she was crying but couldn't.

"It seems that we truly have no fate with the Illusion Spirit Grass, let's return to the sect." Song Yu sighed lightly, looking somewhat lonely.

"Why don't we search carefully one more time, perhaps there's some place we missed." Liu Yu suggested, feeling exceptionally unwilling.

"Forget it, if there's no fate, don't force it. And the inner valley is too dangerous. Even if we only stay near the entrance, if we stay too long, I'm afraid something will happen. Let's leave immediately." Song Yu shook her head, saying without hesitation.

Liu Yu heard this, a look of unwillingness appeared on her delicate face, and just as she wanted to say something, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the horizon.

The three women were startled and couldn't help but look over.

I saw that in the direction the thunder came from, it was pitch black, and a large piece of dark cloud seemed to be shooting toward this side at an incredible speed. It became a few times larger in the blink of an eye, and when it was a bit closer, it could be seen clearly. The dark cloud was rolling, thunder was rumbling, and the momentum was truly shocking.

"Not good, this dark cloud has problems, it might be an ancient beast!" With the experience of the three women, they naturally saw the strangeness of the dark cloud at a glance, and Song Yu immediately shouted in shock.

Immediately, the three women jumped up, transformed into three escape lights, and shot away to escape along the path they came.

The thunder in the large dark cloud paused, the things inside seemed to have discovered the three women, the speed of the dark cloud changed, and it chased after the three women with an escape speed even faster than before, and a cold laugh faintly came from inside.

"It's not an ancient beast, it seems to be a Demon Dao cultivator!" Liu Yu had been born in the Demon Dao back then. Hearing the cold laugh and looking carefully at the dark cloud, her face changed and she suddenly reminded them.

"Whether it's human or demon, the other party is not well-intentioned. We cannot fight head-on!" Seeing the dark cloud gradually approaching, Song Yu shouted in panic, patted the storage bag at her waist, and a milky-white round bead appeared in her hand.

The woman's incantation sounded, and the round bead swayed, suddenly transforming into a stream of white clouds that wrapped all three of them inside.

Then, the white cloud trembled unexpectedly and broke through the air like a shooting star, its escape speed actually not inferior to the dark cloud behind.

"Small tricks, daring to perform in front of me!" A cold voice came from the dark cloud, and then the dark cloud rolled, suddenly condensing into a huge black hand. This hand flashed, transformed into a black light over ten zhang long, and its escape speed actually increased by several times, catching up to half the distance in just a few flashes.

"The one behind is a Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator, quickly think of a way to block him." A surprised and angry voice of the woman Song came from the white cloud.

"I'll release the spiritual insects, even if I lose these few centipedes, I must block the other party." This was Liu Yu saying in a panic.

As soon as these words fell, after a few light "puff puff" sounds, seven or eight snow-white centipedes half a foot long shot out from the white cloud, pouncing on the black light behind with claws and teeth.

"Eh, Six-Winged Frost Centipedes! Haha, I wonder who it is, so it's you, Liu Yu, this little girl! Daring to release these few little bugs to deal with me?" The person in the black light saw the few centipedes, and instead of being surprised, laughed loudly.

Several pitch-black fine threads suddenly shot out from the black light, piercing through the white centipedes in a flash, and the black light itself swayed, passing through the few centipedes without stopping at all.

And those few centipedes didn't move, floating in the air. After a long while, they were wrapped in balls of black flames, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye and disappearing into thin air.

This black flame was an unknown strange technique, and these few Six-Winged Frost Centipedes couldn't resist it at all.

And the three women in the white cloud in front were scared out of their wits upon seeing this scene. Liu Yu, in particular, was exceptionally shocked and surprised, not knowing the origin of the demon cultivator behind her, but the other party's voice was clearly completely strange.

The escape speed of the black light was truly too fast. Before the three women could think of any way to retreat, it caught up to the white cloud in a flash.

Then, after circling, it revealed the black hand again, unscrupulously reaching down and grabbing hard.

The three women exclaimed at the same time, and three sword lights, a long ruler, and a Jade Ruyi all shot out from the white cloud.

Black light flashed on the black hand, and all the treasures were grabbed into its hand. Then, with a spread of its five fingers, the flying swords and other artifacts strangely disappeared, not knowing where they had been collected.

But with this delay, the white cloud "boom"ed and burst on its own, and three escape lights shot out in different directions.

The three women actually intended to escape separately. But an incredible scene appeared!

A piece of black light suddenly flew out from the black hand, rolling toward the three escape lights respectively. In a flash, it wrapped all three women inside, and they were shot back, grabbed by the black hand all at once.

Song Yu and the three women were actually captured alive just like this.

They were both surprised and afraid, their protective spiritual light still flashing, struggling desperately to break free from the restraint of the big hand.

But just at this moment, a cold snort rang in the ears of the three women at the same time.

Black energy emerged from the big hand. The three women were sprayed by the black energy, and their spiritual sense scattered, their eyes going black, and they fainted.

Only then did the black hand release the three women, transformed into a large piece of black energy in a flash, then the black energy gathered in the middle, and after spinning, revealed a tall human figure.

This figure was pitch black, but its eyes were flashing with green light, emitting astonishing cold light.

"I didn't expect it to be these three women. This is also good, capturing them can also make that person somewhat hesitant. Hehe, these three women all have a certain relationship with you. Asking you to sacrifice yourself to save them, I guess you won't do it. But if I threaten you a little, it won't be without effect." The black shadow made a hoarse voice, staring at the three women in the black energy, laughing coldly incessantly.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman surnamed Song, who had the deepest cultivation among the three, was the first to slowly wake up.
