Chapter 193: Demons Block the Door, Again Encounter Ran Bing

Wow, how cute, Lu Xun, your luck is really good this time.

Before the Magma Lake, Chu Youqing was happy for Lu Xun.

Youqing, I give you this cultivation method; practicing it should yield twice the result with half the effort.

Lu Xun gave the Li Fire Technique to Chu Youqing.

Wow, this technique looks very advanced, Lu Xun; did you obtain it in that palace?

Hmm.

I'll give it a try.

Chu Youqing eagerly took it and began practicing with great enthusiasm.

Auntie, you first consolidate; I'll go pick up the things by the Magma Lake.

On Murong Wan's side, this time there wasn't much of a harvest.

Hmm.

Murong Wan didn't feel disappointed; she continued step by step, preparing to consolidate a bit before continuing to open her apertures.

Lu Xun then came to the edge of the Magma Lake, preparing to take away the things here.

There are too many good things by the Magma Lake.

Because of the Energy Gathering Array, the Dark Energy here is rich.

The presence of the Golden Toad also means there are no Stellar Void Aberrations here.

The Golden Toad itself does not eat Fire Crystals or Lava Fruits.

Therefore, Fire Crystals have accumulated around the Magma Lake, and there are also large quantities of Lava Fruit.

Some Lava Fruits are not yet ripe, so Lu Xun did not pick them all.

No Stellar Void Aberrations will come here in the short term, so they can be left for now.

As for the Fire Crystals, Lu Xun naturally collected them all.

He does not plan to sell these Fire Crystals.

In the future, Chu Youqing's strength will increase, and her demand for Fire Crystals will be great.

After the fourth level, each time one rises a level, the required resources will grow exponentially.

Upon reaching the seventh or eighth level, a single breath's consumption of Dark Energy would be enough for a third-level cultivator to last a lifetime.

After dealing with all the harvest, Chu Youqing then pushed up another level.

Lu Xun thus reached the second layer of the fourth level.

Let's go look elsewhere.

The two women have mostly digested their gains; Lu Xun prepares to take them to continue searching, to see if the Scarlet Flame Continent still has any other good things.

In the entire Scarlet Flame Continent, the greatest opportunity is this ancient cultivator's abode.

After obtaining the best things, Lu Xun plans to spend another day or two, waiting for the return passage to appear, then he will go back first.

They have already stayed ten days on the Scarlet Flame Continent; there are three days left, after which the passage will appear.

Over there.

Lu Xun headed toward the indicated direction on the pass, heading for where the passage will appear, while also seeking opportunities.

The Scarlet Flame Continent is too vast; if we don't hurry, three days may not be enough to reach the passage's location.

If we miss it, the next passage will appear at a new location, and we'll have to rush again.

Beep beep beep~

One day later, suddenly.

The Northern Dipper Token given by the steward Zhu of the Northern Dipper Palace began to ring.

A Northern Dipper Palace disciple is calling for help.

Murong Wan glanced at the Northern Dipper Token and said.

This Northern Dipper Token was given by Steward Zhu to Lu Xun for calling for help.

However,

Now Lu Xun and Murong Wan have not yet called for help; instead, they first received a distress signal from another Northern Dipper Palace disciple.

That's right,

Although the Northern Dipper Palace is strong, its lower-level disciples are not very strong either.

For example, students of the Northern Dipper University, upon graduating in their fourth year, if they have late third-level strength, can apply to join the Northern Dipper Palace.

The Northern Dipper Palace will hold a unified examination and select the best.

If one is at the fourth level, they can join directly.

These are the lower-level disciples.

Their strength is naturally not strong.

Now, the distress signal received by Lu Xun and the other person should be from such disciples.

Let's go check it out.

Lu Xun decided to go check it out.

The flying vessel sped toward the direction from which the distress signal came.

Quick, they're here!

Hahaha, you can't escape!

Several dozen kilometers away from Lu Xun, a group of demons is chasing and killing several human cultivators.

Although these human cultivators are fleeing extremely fast, they will still be caught.

During their escape, they also have to deal with Stellar Void Aberrations that attack from time to time, greatly affecting their fleeing efficiency.

"It's over."

At this moment, they encountered a large group of Star Void Alien Species.

These Star Void Alien Species are extremely ferocious, blocking their path.

The demonic race people behind took the opportunity to speed up and pursue them.

"Kill our way out!"

Several human cultivators did not hesitate to use their trump cards, wanting to break out.

Their trump cards were indeed effective, forcing their way out of the Star Void Alien Species' encirclement.

Just as they thought they could escape, a winged demonic race member suddenly appeared ahead, releasing demonic qi that spread across the sky.

"Fifth Realm!"

The faces of these several human cultivators changed dramatically.

"Die."

That demonic race member came to kill.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Before it could reach them, suddenly dozens of flying swords came flying, covering the sky and earth.

"Courting death!"

The demonic race shook its wings, wanting to shake off the flying swords, first deal with those human cultivators then talk.

These guys have been fleeing for too long, angering him.

He belongs to the Wing Demon tribe of the demonic race.

Wing Demons are not the same as the Wing Clan; they belong to different races.

The wings of the Wing Demon possess astonishing defensive power.

When protected by demonic qi, the flying swords of ordinary immortal cultivators can be easily shaken off.

This Wing Demon's choice became a decision he regretted for the rest of his life.

Those flying swords were too sharp, directly breaking through the demonic armor formed by his demonic qi, piercing his wings in one fell swoop.

"Ah.."

The Wing Demon felt the pain, withdrew its sword to defend.

Just, one mistaken step leads to another.

After his wings were injured, his agility greatly decreased; Lu Xun's flying swords attacked from all directions, overwhelming him.

"Escape!"

The Wing Demon, without a word, vibrated its wings and rushed toward the distance.

"Want to escape?"

Lu Xun used the Treading Gang Step to chase after him, and the power of his flying swords increased further.

Just over ten minutes later, this Fifth Realm Wing Demon turned into a corpse.

This time, after taking advantage of the Wing Demon's carelessness to seize the initiative, Lu Xun killed the Fifth Realm Wing Demon without using an immobilization spell.

His combat power exceeded the norm; though his realm was not high, it became an advantage on the battlefield.

Especially when others don't know him, upon discovering Lu Xun's aura is Fourth Realm, they subconsciously look down on him.

Then they will be taught how to be a person by Lu Xun.

This Fifth Realm Wing Demon itself isn't strong either, lacking many trump cards.

By the time Lu Xun returned, Chu Youqing and Murong Wan, cooperating with those several human cultivators, had already settled the battle.

The demonic race's pursuers were slaughtered to the point of utter defeat; only two Fourth Realm individuals, seeing the situation unfavorable, fled quickly and escaped.

"The demonic race is blocking the gate?"

"Yes, we wanted to go back six days ago, but as soon as we reached the Rainbow Bridge Passage, a large crowd of demonic race people rushed out; senior Ding Chao died in battle, and from our team only I managed to escape."

"What about them?"

"We gathered together later; we originally thought that after the passage changed this time, the demonic race wouldn't know the location, but we still encountered them."

From the mouths of these several human cultivators, Lu Xun obtained some not-so-good news.

The demonic race is blocking the gate.

A few days ago, the demonic race blocked the gate once, resulting in a Fifth Realm being killed, and many Fourth Realm individuals died as well.

These several cultivators are all Fourth Realm; after their squad was scattered, they happened to meet and gather together, preparing to act together.

They originally thought that the demonic race would certainly not know the location of the new passage.

Who would have thought, the demonic race was still lying in ambush nearby.

"Who is from Beidou Hall?"

Lu Xun asked.

"Me, senior, did you come after receiving my distress call?"

A cultivator raised his hand.

Lu Xun took a look; the person is quite young, possibly also a graduate from Qingbei.

He gave an 'hmm' and did not explain his identity.

"You all first recover; I'll come ask some questions."

"Okay, senior."

Several cultivators hurriedly began to recover.

Lu Xun then took a captive demonic race member to the side and began interrogating.

However, this demonic race member's mouth is very tough; he refuses to say anything.

Lu Xun gave him a quick kill.

"Lu Xun, how could the demon tribe know our passage's location, and even know it twice in a row?"

Chu Youqing sent a voice transmission to Lu Xun.

"Two possibilities: either someone was captured and forced to cooperate, or there is a traitor among humans."

Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

The passage permit can only be used by humans; even if the demon tribe seized it, it would be useless.

So, the demon tribe knowing the passage's location twice in a row and blocking it there can only be one of those two possibilities.

"What should we do then?"

Chu Youqing asked.

"What else can we do? Charge through."

Given the situation, unless Lu Xun uses the Heavenly Dao Talisman, the only way to return to Lan Xing is to kill our way through before the passage opens.

Heavenly Dao Talisman... Lu Xun still doesn't want to use it.

"Senior, are you really going to charge straight through? The demon tribe has dispatched many Five Realms cultivators this time, plus a half-step Six Realms."

Upon hearing Lu Xun's plan, those few Four Realms cultivators hesitated a bit.

Half-step Six Realms!

The demon tribe is really willing to spill blood.

They dispatched a half-step Six Realms cultivator to come to this Spirit Realm to block the gate.

Such things have happened before.

The advantage of blocking the gate is that whatever the human cultivators obtain belongs to them.

"If you're afraid, you can find a place to hide; after I go out, I will report the situation, but it's unclear how long it will take for someone to come deal with them."

Lu Xun said lightly.

"I'll go with you!"

As soon as his words fell, the cultivator wielding the Northern Dipper Token raised his hand.

"I'll go too."

Another cultivator also decided to go.

The other three Four Realms cultivators exchanged glances, then hesitated.

They would rather hide, digest their gains first.

Seeing this, Lu Xun said no more and left with the two women.

The two Four Realms cultivators who had declared their stance hurriedly followed.

"Such a young senior... I suddenly feel he resembles a person."

After Lu Xun left, one of the remaining cultivators inexplicably felt Lu Xun looked familiar.

"I also feel I've seen him somewhere; do you think we should follow him?"

"Better forget it; it's too dangerous."

The three cultivators ultimately chickened out.

"They really are fighting among themselves."

After a short while, Lu Xun discovered some demon tribe members again.

These demon tribe members were chasing and killing a group of barbarians.

On Lan Xing, the foreign races once joined forces to exterminate Lan Xing's geniuses.

As a result, in the Spirit Realm at the ancient road node, the foreign races ended up fighting each other.

Lu Xun waited until they had fought enough, then with the two women he struck, a third party reaped the benefits, and he took care of them all.

"Lu Xun, you've also entered this Spirit Realm?"

Just after the battle ended, not far away, a figure appeared.

Lu Xun looked and saw that it was Ran Bing.

She also came to this Spirit Realm.

It seems she is acting alone.

We don't know if her squad also encountered the demon tribe's blockade and got scattered.

"Lu Xun? Wow, are you Lu Xun?"

Ran Bing's words caused the two Four Realms cultivators following Lu Xun to react.

Especially the Northern Dipper Palace disciple, whose expression instantly became exaggeratedly excited.
