Chapter 992

After two "Pu" "Pu" sounds, light flashed about thirty zhang away from the stone pavilion, and after two sword Qi swept past, the purple mist appeared again. Net

But this time, the monster in the mist seemed to be thoroughly enraged.

With two roars, the mist suddenly dispersed, revealing a four-winged demon bird with a lion's head and an eagle's body.

The bird's four wings spread out to a size of five or six zhang, its entire body surrounded by purple light, looking incomparably ferocious and vicious.

"Lion-Bird Beast!"

Once he saw the demon bird's appearance clearly, the freak cried out in shock.

The Confucian scholar's expression also changed, and he shook his sleeves, sending a black-red flying knife shooting out, slashing fiercely toward the demon bird.

Strangely, the originally aggressive demon bird showed a look of fear upon seeing the flying knife, suddenly opening its blood-red mouth and spraying out circles of purple light rings, meeting the flying knife.

After a series of explosions, amidst the black light and purple radiance, the flying knife broke through more than ten light rings like a hot knife through butter. But every time it slashed, the black light of the flying knife weakened, and in the end, when it was only a few zhang away from the demon bird, it became dim and was forcibly blocked by several purple rings.

Seeing this, the demon bird was overjoyed and wanted to use its supernatural powers again to truly trap the knife.

In the distance, the Confucian scholar also opened his mouth and sprayed out a mass of essence blood. Then, he pinched a spell with both hands and pointed rapidly at the essence blood several times.

Instantly, the essence blood rapidly turned into blood-colored runes, vanishing into thin air.

The flying knife erupted with dazzling blood light again, shattering all the purple rings nearby in a flash, and after a blink, it arrived before the demon bird and slashed down fiercely.

The demon bird was startled and flapped its four wings to shoot backward, hurriedly raising one giant claw to block the knife.

As a result, green blood splattered, and although the flying knife was stopped, the sharp claw was also forcibly slashed off by half under the sweep of the knife light.

At this, the demon bird suddenly raised its massive head and let out an earth-shaking roar. This roar was like a thunderclap on a sunny day, actually shaking the Confucian scholar and the freak until their ears rang, and their bodies couldn't help but sway.

But an even more incredible scene appeared immediately after.

As the roar exited, a semi-transparent golden ripple sprayed from the lion's head, meeting the flying knife.

As a result, the black flying knife, upon contacting the ripple, rolled backward as if hit by a giant force.

And the yellow sword light that the "Seventh Uncle" had commanded to assist the flying knife was even more miserable. Almost as soon as it was affected, it crumbled inch by inch, turning into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

After the golden ripple exited, the demon bird's expression also became listless.

It glared viciously at the Confucian scholar, then flapped its four wings violently. Thunderous sounds simultaneously rang out from its wings, and after its figure blurred, it suddenly vanished amidst a patch of electric arcs. The next moment, it appeared thirty zhang away, actually also proficient in the Lightning Escape Technique.

However, the demon bird dared not stay for a moment, turning into a purple streak and shooting into the distance. In the blink of an eye, it vanished at the edge of the horizon without looking back.

Seeing this, the freak let out a long breath, but as his gaze shifted, he saw the Confucian scholar's face was somewhat pale and couldn't help but ask in shock:

"Third boy, are you alright? Driving the Black Blood Knife is already a great drain on magic power; why did you use essence blood to forcibly increase its power?" The freak's words were full of concern.

"I'm fine, just lost some vitality. The Lion-Bird Beast was a famous ferocious bird in ancient times, and its supernatural powers are three parts stronger than those of us Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators. If we didn't drive it away in time, it would have been very bad if we got entangled. Now that it has suffered some bitterness, it shouldn't easily harass us again," the Confucian scholar took a breath and shook his head.

"That is true. This kind of ancient ferocious bird usually has a body harder than refined iron; if we didn't use our Ye family's Black Blood Knife, it would truly not be an easy task for ordinary magic treasures to hurt the Lion-Bird Beast," the freak said, a look of relief appearing on his face.

The Confucian scholar smiled slightly and glanced at the green mist below, seeing that the Ye family cultivators, who had been awakened by the arrival of the Lion-Bird Beast, had returned to calm.

He nodded immediately, and after saying a few more words to the freak, he leaped down to the stone pavilion and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

Having just driven the heirloom Black Blood Knife, he had consumed a lot of magic power, so the Confucian scholar naturally wanted to take the opportunity to recover some.

Just as the Ye family and Han Li's group were all in the giant mountain, at the foot of a high mountain near the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, in an inconspicuous valley, five white figures stood side by side at the valley entrance, while opposite them were two black-robed cultivators reporting something with respectful expressions.

"An astonishing celestial phenomenon appeared?" A somewhat surprised voice drifted from somewhere, the voice having some magnetism, but it was impossible to tell if it was male or female.

"Yes, Great Elder. Near an unnamed lake in Puyun Prefecture. There are seven astonishing pillars of light there, reaching straight into the sky," one of the black-robed cultivators replied.

"When did this happen? Did you discover anything?" The owner of the voice seemed quite interested.

"It happened four days ago. As soon as our sect's disciples received this news, they reported it using a sound-transmission talisman. It is said that a massive seal was discovered under each of the seven pillars of light. Because the seal is too large, the specific setup of this seal has not been figured out yet. But it is said that many sects in the Southern Border have been alarmed, and some Nascent Soul level cultivators are rushing over," another cultivator interface respectfully.

"Seven pillars of light! It sounds like spiritual energy leakage caused by breaking a restriction. But such an astonishing one is worth my making a trip. However, you said a few days ago that the old man Fu of the Nine Nether Sect appeared near the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, but there has been no news until now. Did you get something wrong somewhere? You can't even find this person, let alone find that fellow surnamed Han." The voice suddenly turned icy cold.

"Great Elder, please calm your anger. We received news that cultivators indeed saw old man Fu come this way, and then he vanished near the Ten Thousand Poison Valley," both black-robed cultivators showed expressions of panic, and one of them immediately asked for forgiveness.

"There are indeed traces of cultivator activity in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, but except for the Yin-Yang Cave, which I haven't gone down into, I have searched everywhere else in the valley. No one is in the valley. You don't want to tell me that old man Fu went down into the Yin-Yang Cave, do you? If that were the case, I have been guarding this place for a while, and there should have been some news. Unless old man Fu really wants to spend the rest of his life under the Yin-Yang Cave."

The two black-robed cultivators mumbled a few words upon hearing this, temporarily not knowing how to reply, cold sweat dripping down their faces.

"Forget it. It's not easy for you to have found this place in this amount of time. I'll give you some more time. Send people to monitor this valley; I will go to Puyun Prefecture first. You also notify Elders Wu and Xiao to go to that place and meet me. It's easier to get things done with more people."

"Yes, Great Elder!" The two black-robed cultivators finally felt relieved and bowed in unison.

The voice said nothing more, but the five white figures suddenly faded, then flew into the sky simultaneously, their escape lights instantly joining together and breaking through the air.

At the same time, above a wasteland near the border of Puyun Prefecture, a team of cultivators was flying toward the small lake.

These cultivators were more than twenty in number, each wearing blue robes and red headbands. The four flying in the front were at the Nascent Soul stage, especially one middle-aged cultivator with a face full of green patterns, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul mid-stage, his entire body's aura icy and abnormal, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Brother Hua, do we really need to make such a big fuss this time? We've brought out most of the Poison Saint Sect's disciples. If there's any mistake, it will cause our sect to suffer heavy losses," another Nascent Soul early-stage old man said worriedly while flying.

"If it were just an ordinary strange treasure appearing, I naturally wouldn't take such a risk. But this time, it is highly likely to be the legendary Mount Mount Kunwu. For the secret treasures in this mountain, this risk is naturally worth taking," the middle-aged cultivator said, his words astonishing.

"Mount Mount Kunwu? The spiritual mountain that our sect has been searching for since its founding?" Another gray-haired old man also said in shock.

"Correct. I have mentioned this matter once after several junior brothers advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. This mountain was one of the few spiritual mountains in the human world during the ancient period. Although I don't know the reason, it was sealed by ancient cultivators with great supernatural powers. But there is no doubt about the abundance of secret treasures in the mountain. The ancestor who founded our Poison Saint Sect was actually a descendant of one of the ancient cultivators who sealed this mountain, but he didn't know much about the specific location of the seal, only knowing that the mountain was sealed somewhere in the Southern Border. That is why he founded our sect in the Southern Border and has been searching for the mountain's whereabouts, but unfortunately, the ancestor never had any news about it. This matter has also been treated as a secret known only to successive elders and passed down through generations," the middle-aged cultivator said coldly after the green patterns on his face flashed.

"But how does Brother Hua know that this celestial phenomenon is a sign of Mount Mount Kunwu's appearance? It could also be other secret treasures," the thick-browed old man who asked first said with some suspicion.

"Hehe! Besides telling us that Mount Mount Kunwu was somewhere in the Southern Border, the ancestor also had a Spirit-Sensing Bead refined by his predecessor. This bead was refined specifically for Mount Mount Kunwu and can sense the famous Flying Immortal Stone on the mountain. As long as this mountain appears, the spiritual bead can immediately sense it. And just a few days ago, this bead, which is worshipped in the Ancestral Hall, suddenly emitted bursts of clear ringing, and I knew Mount Mount Kunwu had appeared. Even if the disciples hadn't come to report the celestial phenomenon, I would have immediately sent people to search all over the Southern Border."

"So that's it!" The other three Nascent Soul cultivators were somewhat enlightened, and then all showed expressions of excitement.

"It's a pity that Brother Yuan is not in the sect, otherwise if our Poison Saint Sect's five great elders joined forces, this trip would be even more secure," the gray-haired old man sighed.

"After Brother Yuan went out a while ago, he was mysterious when he returned, and now I don't know where he is and cannot contact him. However, I have already given orders. Let the disciples notify Brother Yuan to meet up with us as soon as they see him. Now what we need to do is take advantage of the fact that other sects don't know about Mount Mount Kunwu and enter the mountain one step ahead, taking away most of the secret treasures as soon as possible. I just don't know if this mountain's appearance this time is due to the seal failing itself or the actions of other cultivators. If it's the latter, I must be extra careful on this trip," the middle-aged cultivator said, his expression becoming solemn.
