Chapter 1308: Three Races Gather
Such astonishing demonic aura appearing was naturally aimed at the entrance of the Chaos Valley.
This made the humans hidden nearby all startled.
Some cultivators who had been monitoring this place for a long time had seen with their own eyes not long ago that the two members of the Spirit Race in the valley had defeated the Demonic Race, and even killed several high-tier transformed demonic cultivators, their strength far exceeding that of the Demonic Race.
Now that the Demonic Race had suddenly set up such a fierce offensive posture, could it be that they had received great reinforcements?
Just as the hidden human side was feeling astonished, a loud rumbling sound came from the direction of the Chaos Valley, followed by yellow dust flying, and then large batches of things surged out from both the ground and the high air.
In the air were all wooden birds a zhang long, and on the ground were stone giants six or seven zhang tall, all surging out wildly.
Those wooden bird puppets, apart from being emerald green in color, were all lifelike and graceful in form, making it impossible for people to distinguish between true and false from afar.
As for the stone giants, their bodies were extremely rough, and apart from a pair of pale white eyes on their giant faces, there was nothing else. The stones that formed the giants were also of all kinds, of every type.
The appearance of so many wooden and stone puppets made those who hadn't seen the previous demonic-spirit battle gasp in shock.
Han Li saw so many puppets from afar, and his expression couldn't help but flicker.
Just at this moment, an emerald green wooden phoenix and a gray-white stone person walked out from the ranks simultaneously.
Afterward, a flash of spiritual light occurred above the wooden phoenix's head, and a cluster of green light emerged, revealing a tiny woman in a green dress less than a foot tall, while on the stone giant, a tiny old man appeared on its hand, leaning on a white stone cane, looking coldly at the astonishing demonic aura opposite.
"Is Niece Xiao there? Come out and speak." The old man suddenly opened his mouth, emitting a buzzing voice like a bell, which was heard clearly by the humans and demonic beasts within ten miles.
The gray-white demonic aura opposite churned, and a crisp phoenix cry came, followed by a pitch-black fireball shooting out from within. After rolling, it turned into a woman in palace attire with a murderous look on her face.
"Huang Shi Gong, why did you call me out? Could it be that you want to give up the Chaos Valley?" The woman in palace attire moved her red lips and said unceremoniously.
"Give up the Chaos Valley? You really dare to say that. Don't you know that ten days ago, who was defeated by the two of us, almost losing their lives? It was just a Spirit Severing early-stage demonic cultivator, how could they contend with our two mid-tier Spirit Generals? I advise you to go back; I just don't want those human cultivators to take advantage of the situation." The young woman in the green radiance said this, her voice crisp and pleasant, extremely beautiful.
"Oh, you don't put Niece Xiao in your eyes, then what about me?" The demonic aura behind churned, and another demonic cultivator flew out slowly.
This person was thin and weak, with a flashing moth resting on his shoulder; it was none other than the handsome youth surnamed Cai Huan.
Huang Shi Gong and Tian Ying, the two members of the Spirit Race, were shocked upon seeing the youth, and Huang Shi Gong even exclaimed with his facial muscles twitching:
"Cai Huan Cangqi, it's actually you. How could you be here?"
"Tsk tsk, you two still recognize this old man. In the battle ten thousand years ago, I hadn't even advanced to Void Refinement yet, and I could already contend with you two without being defeated. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and I have already achieved the Five Elements Body. But you are still just two Spirit Generals. It seems that apart from living longer, the Spirit Race truly cannot compare with the potential of our Human and Demonic races. If this continues, sooner or later, you will slowly perish in the Spirit World like other weak races. In that case, it would be better to surrender to us early. Your race is still of great use to our two races and won't let you truly perish completely." The youth said calmly.
"Hmph, Brother Cai Huan has a big mouth. Although our Spirit Race is not strong, we have been able to exist in the Spirit World until now, so naturally, there is a reason for it. You are just a small elder of the Demonic Race; what qualifications do you have to comment on the survival of our race? Aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?" Huang Shi Gong was furious upon hearing the youth comment on the Spirit Race like this, and the fear he had originally felt vanished.
"This old man is not qualified to discuss your race's affairs, but these words were spoken by our clan leader, and this old man is just repeating them word for word." The youth didn't get angry, but laughed instead.
"Don't dream about it. We have several Holy Spirit level adults; we will never surrender to any race." Tian Ying in the green radiance replied coldly.
"Since that's the case, Cai Huan has nothing more to say. Brother Huang Liang, City Lord Lan, you should also appear. I can clearly see that you arrived here yesterday. Could it be that you really want to sit and reap the benefits?" The youth suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly toward the void in another direction.
This sentence naturally shocked the two members of the Spirit Race in the field, as well as all the humans hidden nearby.
A flash of pale white light occurred, as if a formless veil had suddenly fallen, and a giant jade boat thirty zhang long and four or five zhang wide suddenly appeared in the void, floating silently.
On the jade boat stood Spirit Lord Huang Liang and the others.
City Lord Lan and the others had shocked expressions, clearly surprised that their whereabouts had been exposed.
"Illusion Flame Moth, so it was you, old ghost, who eavesdropped on our conversation in Sunset City!" Spirit Lord Huang Liang's face sank like water.
"Did Brother Huang Liang only realize this now? I thought you would have known about this long ago." The youth curled his mouth slightly.
"You old mouse, you have always been hiding in your mouse nest to undergo the Great Heavenly Tribulation, never willing to go out. Why are you willing to appear in this place now? Aren't you afraid that your preparations won't be sufficient and you won't be able to pass the tribulation?" Spirit Lord Huang Liang seemed exceptionally familiar with the youth, mocking him slightly.
"Cough! If this old man truly had the certainty to pass the Great Heavenly Tribulation every three thousand years, I wouldn't have the leisure to appear in this place. Cai Huan has been hovering at the early stage of Void Refinement for over ten thousand years, and the first tribulation was already extremely strenuous; I have no certainty of passing the next one at all. Naturally, it's better to come out and look for other opportunities. Brother Huang Liang, you advanced to Void Refinement not long ago and have only passed the first tribulation, so you don't have this concern." The Void Refinement mid-stage demonic cultivator sighed long and hard, saying this.
Upon hearing the other party mention the Great Heavenly Tribulation, Spirit Lord Huang Liang's face changed, and his expression became exceptionally ugly.
He still remembered the terrifying situation of his first Great Heavenly Tribulation, and the degree of terror still made him tremble even now.
"Hmph, if you want to find opportunities for a breakthrough, wouldn't it be better to go to the wild lands? Why run to the human race's territory? You old fellow, if you want to find an excuse, you should find one that people will believe." Spirit Lord Huang Liang moved his lips, but no sound came out; he had actually transmitted his voice.
"Brother Huang is blaming me wrongly this time. I appeared in Sunset City originally to invite you to break into the wild lands again. It just happened that I encountered the Spirit Race matter. As an elder of the Qiong Mouse Race, I naturally have to intervene." The youth laughed and transmitted his voice back without any change.
"Looking for me for the wild lands?" Spirit Lord Huang Liang was startled.
"That's right. Although you and I are of different races, our divine abilities are complementary. Together, we can be much safer in the wild lands. Didn't you and I join forces once thousands of years ago and return with great gains? I still trust Brother Huang Liang. As for the others, even if they are other elders of the same race, I wouldn't dare to travel with them. Your second Great Heavenly Tribulation is also coming soon, right? If you don't take the opportunity to look for treasures to pass the tribulation, I don't know how much certainty you have of passing the next one. Even if your cultivation hasn't changed, the power of the tribulation is more terrifying each time." The youth transmitted his voice solemnly.
"Since Brother Cai Huan has asked, Huang will not be afraid to speak frankly. For the second tribulation, with my current situation, I only have a fifty percent certainty of passing. During the last tribulation, I destroyed quite a few treasures." Spirit Lord Huang Liang stood on the jade boat and pondered for a long time before replying slowly.
"That's it. This old man's hope of passing the next tribulation is not even twenty-five percent. How about it, Brother, are you willing to go to the wild world with me again?" The youth transmitted his voice solemnly.
Upon hearing the other party's formal invitation, Spirit Lord Huang Liang's face flickered with uncertainty. After a long while, he frowned and asked:
"Since you intend to join forces with me to go to the wild world, how should we solve the Spirit Race matter here?"
"That's simple. You and I join forces to capture these members of the Spirit Race first and find that traitor. As for the object on him, if there are many, our two races will split them equally. If there is only one, you and I will spar with our divine abilities, and the winner will take the object, how about that?" The youth seemed to have considered this long ago and replied without hesitation.
"You old ghost, you are good at calculating. You entered Void Refinement thousands of years earlier than me; how could I possibly have the upper hand against you?" Spirit Lord Huang Liang shook his head without hesitation.
"Then what does Brother Huang say?" The youth didn't seem surprised and asked in return.
"We will see what the object is when the time comes. The other side must pay a similar price to be willing to take it away." Spirit Lord Huang Liang stroked his beard and said this.
"No problem, let it be as Brother says. You and I will take action to solve these two members of the Spirit Race first." The youth's face flashed with murderous intent, and he proposed secretly.
"Hehe, good! It is settled as you say." Spirit Lord Huang Liang nodded, then turned to City Lord Lan and the others to explain and interpret a few things.
The others saw that their plan to sit and reap the benefits had been exposed, and a Void Refinement stage demonic cultivator had appeared on the demonic side, so they naturally had to agree helplessly.
As a result, City Lord Lan didn't say a word, rubbed his two hands, and then flicked them. Immediately, a giant blue fireball shot into the sky and exploded at a high altitude.
Immediately, various lights flashed in the distant mountains and forests, and streams of light shot out, with human cultivators and body cultivators driving spirit tools appearing one after another.
