Shadow of the Demon Sect

"Junior Sister, be careful. Wherever these golden rings pass, they emit an invisible and colorless poisonous gas that can contaminate spiritual power. Moreover, the skin and flesh of this demon are very tough, and the venom can stain magic treasures. It is not suitable to strike randomly. Let's lure it into the array and slowly wear down its magic power."

Huang Shoushan is after all near Golden Wave and Pinghai. These cultivators are very familiar with the habits of the Mandarin Duck Golden Ring Snake. Meng Lingyue appeared and said hurriedly, "I will lure the enemy, Senior Brother, you take charge of the array disk for me!"

Her movement technique was indeed outstanding. Only a golden ring was seen plowing through the forest. A point of green light seemed unable to bear the pressure of the golden ring, appeared, and fled to the open space. The two snakes hissed, their figures suddenly darting, and the speed was actually so fast that it was a bit blurry. In just a blink of an eye, they appeared behind the green light, opened their mouths and bit down fiercely on the green light. The green light flickered, still flying forward. After a moment, a young girl fell out, using her last strength to pounce forward, but her aura was swaying, looking like she was at the end of her rope.

The two snakes were happy to see the prey, moving forward rustlingly, pouncing toward the staggering girl. The male snake, which was smaller in size, seemed to suddenly notice something wrong, hissing, and curled its tail toward the female snake, wanting to stop it from moving forward. But at this time, white light flashed everywhere in the forest, and thick fog gradually rose, mixed with the Green Jade Miasma, covering the trees. In the aura field, this world had been reduced to this small open space in the forest. There were crises everywhere. The two snakes probed their snake tongues in all directions, but found no way out. However, they were not panicked or irritable yet. Their tails were twisted together, and they immediately formed a snake array. The remaining two golden rings on their necks manifested, emitting light above their heads, protecting their seven inches, looking like they were sitting firmly on the fishing platform.

Outside the array, the green light flashed, and Meng Lingyue's figure appeared again, but she was smiling and unharmed. Ruan Ci arched her hands at her and praised, "Senior Sister's illusion technique is really powerful."

She said this sincerely. Meng Lingyue smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "A small trick, not worth mentioning. Please Junior Sister, kill the golden ring in the forest, it can also ruin the cultivation of this snake."

Ruan Ci happily accepted the order, pulled out the Frost Sword, locked her spiritual sense on those golden rings, and followed the sword. A sword light shuttled through the forest, stringing half of the dozen golden rings away.

She had the Donghua Sword to protect her body, and the poisonous gas of the Foundation Establishment demon snake could not contaminate her. However, the golden rings were very tough. Ruan Ci exerted her magic power, shook the Frost Sword, and the sword intent was stimulated. Only then did the golden rings shatter into pieces. Not far away, Chi Pengpeng also flew over and raised her hand to clap. She had more than a dozen bracelets on her wrists. At this time, they clapped together, making a pleasant tune. The remaining half of the golden rings were flying around in the forest, but at this time, they seemed to be attracted, flying toward her one after another. Chi Pengpeng raised her right hand and shook it a few times. The bracelets on her hand made a buzzing sound, and the golden rings also vibrated accordingly. Before long, they burst into several sections, falling into the grass, losing their spiritual nature.

Once an expert makes a move, you know if there is one. Although these two disciples of the flourishing sect let Meng Lingyue and Li Pingyan preside over the overall situation, the strength they displayed casually was worthy of the respect given by everyone. If Ruan Ci was just simple movement technique and abundant magic power, Chi Pengpeng's means were even more mysterious and extraordinary. Everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly. Chi Pengpeng glanced at Ruan Ci, snorted, returned to the side of the array, and said, "The demon snake has lost its golden rings and is already fierce. Shall we trap it to death, or enter the array to kill it to save some time?"

Sure enough, everyone watched outside the array and could see that the two snakes were obviously irritable after the golden rings were cut. The female snake was fiercer and more irritable. At this time, it had been spitting and pouncing everywhere, impacting the blockades set up in the aura field. The array disk was also constantly transmitting slight vibrations, but the spiritual jade embedded in the array disk was still bright in color, showing that the spiritual power was still sufficient. Li Pingyan said, "Don't be in a hurry for a moment. Let this small array wear down their magic power. After three hours, the magic power of this array will operate and a gate of life will appear. At that time, we will enter the array to fight it."

This method is indeed the most secure, and everyone has no objection. After all, cultivators fighting often take a very long time. Being able to kill these two snakes within a day is already considered fast. And entering the array to fight at this time is still a bit risky. Being able to kill the two snakes without injury is naturally good.

Everyone settled in their positions and waited for their breath. The two snakes kept hitting the big array, but they didn't understand the changes in the array. Hitting it hard like this could only consume the spiritual jade on the array disk, but it brought a loss of more than twenty pieces of spiritual jade to everyone. Such a deal is naturally cost-effective for cultivators. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have come to provoke this pair of Mandarin Duck Golden Ring Snakes and would have avoided them far away.

Three hours later, the array indeed operated to a low point. All the cultivators scrambled to enter and fight fiercely with the two snakes. They were arranged according to the level of cultivation. Once they were defeated, Li Pingyan would activate the array disk to send them out. Ruan Ci, Chi Pengpeng, and Meng Lingyue had already made moves before, so they didn't make moves anymore. Although the two snakes were fierce, their cultivation was mostly on the golden rings on their heads. After losing a large number of golden rings first, they could only rely on their bodies to carry the damage. These dozen cultivators ground them to death with water-grinding work. Finally, Junior Sister Lian cut down one snake, and a Golden Wave Sect disciple named Jin Fengchun killed the female snake. Only then did everyone remove the array and dismember the two snakes. Because everyone had dealt with it this time, there was no winner or loser, and the spoils were divided equally. As for the spiritual jade consumed before, it was also made up by everyone.

After such a calculation, except for a few pieces of spiritual jade, everyone gained a lot. But the disciples of the Golden Wave Sect were not happy, and Li Pingyan was even more anxious. Just after dividing the spoils, he said in a deep voice, "The nest of the two snakes should be nearby. If you intend to search, Li will not stop you, but we have to find Junior Brother Xiao, so we must take a step first. At that time, we will use spiritual light as a letter to find each other."

Junior Brother Xiao of the Golden Wave Sect just went to spy on the demon snake, and I don't know what went wrong, but he made a scream and then there was no news. He hasn't come back for these few hours. In this dangerous place, I'm afraid it's more ominous than auspicious. Li Pingyan was obviously very concerned, but he was very calm when he was besieging the demon snake just now, and didn't mention it at all, insisting on waiting until the spoils were divided before gathering the disciples to leave together. His actions were also very methodical. Meng Lingyue said, "I am also very familiar with Junior Brother Xiao. His movement technique is quite good, only a little worse than mine. This pair of demon snakes can't kill him. Lang Li, I will go with you."

Under her concern, she unconsciously called him Lang Li again, instead of Senior Brother Li. Li Pingyan looked at her deeply and said, "You are the senior sister of the Pinghai Sect here, stay and watch the junior brothers and sisters. Don't worry, I will be fine."

As he said that, he took the Golden Wave Sect disciples and left in a hurry. Ruan Ci looked back at Chi Pengpeng and said, "Senior Brother Li, I will go with you."

She jumped to Li Pingyan's side. Li Pingyan was a little surprised, but arched his hands and did not refuse. "Thank you, Junior Sister Ci."

A group of people left in a hurry, and the forest suddenly became quiet. Chi Pengpeng laughed, seemingly talking to herself, "This Senior Brother Li is really amazing."

Meng Zhixuan said sourly, "That's right, the fellow daoists of the Golden Wave Sect have such a senior brother, I am very envious."

His words were clearly pointing out that Meng Lingyue did not take on the responsibility of the senior sister of the Pinghai Sect. Meng Lingyue glanced at him, but her expression remained calm, and she said indifferently, "The smell of blood here is heavy, I'm afraid it will attract other demon beasts. Our manpower is scattered, it's not good to fight. Search for the demon snake's nest in teams of two. If you don't find it after half an hour, you have to go. The direction Junior Brother Xiao left just now is not the way we want to go. Light up the spiritual light when you leave to point the way for Senior Brother Li and the others."

Although there were a few bold disciples in the Pinghai Sect who had already expressed their dissatisfaction with Meng Lingyue. But in fact, a group of people in a dangerous place, not everyone can make decisions. Chi Pengpeng went out for the first time to practice and refused to make decisions. In the end, everyone listened to Meng Lingyue and searched for the demon snake's nest. Chi Pengpeng didn't want the flattering cultivators around her and pointed out that she wanted to be in a team with Meng Lingyue. Everyone thought she wanted to continue to satirize Meng Lingyue, or felt that Meng Lingyue had the greatest possibility of finding the demon snake's nest, so they didn't dare to say much.

The two walked side by side, away from others. Chi Pengpeng raised both hands, the golden bracelets clapped, making a buzzing sound, the sound was very clear. Only then did she ask via voice transmission, "Is there any mystery in the death of Senior Brother Wu just now?"

Meng Lingyue did not hide it and explained it carefully. Chi Pengpeng's face sank, and she whispered, "I'm afraid it's the means of the Demon Sect."

Meng Lingyue said, "I think so too. Junior Brother Xiao is probably also suffering from evil methods."

As for what Demon Sect it was and why they wanted to deal with them, the two did not talk about it at all. Do Demon Sect disciples need an excuse to hunt down righteous disciples? Even among righteous disciples, there are countless people who draw swords against each other if they don't agree. The reason why this group of cultivators can get along harmoniously and cooperate sincerely is only because everyone is under the cover of the Profound Heaven Sect, and this place is not in a cave, so they can't escape the sect's induction, so they can still trust each other. If they reach those small cave worlds, it's hard to say what the relationship between the two sides is.

"The means of the Demon Sect disciples are evil, killing people one after another, it may be the preparation for some evil method." Chi Pengpeng asked Meng Lingyue, "Have you ever fought with Demon Sect disciples?"

Meng Lingyue shook her head, but her expression remained calm. She said, "None of us have, but everything has a first time."

Chi Pengpeng laughed and asked again, "What's going on with your Junior Brother Meng? Is he usually like this?"

Murderous intent appeared in her eyes, obviously she had long suspected Meng Zhixuan. It's not certain that with just one word from Meng Lingyue, she would strike first. Meng Lingyue was not surprised at all when she heard her ask this, and said, "He wasn't like this before. I was wondering why he seemed to have changed into a different person this time. Senior Brother Li should also have a feeling, but he didn't expose it—Demon Sect disciples have always been mysterious in their actions. I'm afraid he is just a chess piece thrown out to distract us, and the real mastermind is still lurking around us."

Meng Zhixuan provoked several times, and she didn't get angry at all. It turned out that she already knew that something was wrong with him, and had already regarded him as a dead person in her heart. Chi Pengpeng said, "You, Li Pingyan, and that Junior Sister Ni should all be safe. The Demon Sect disciples must be lurking among those few around me. Demon Sect disciples are best at playing with people's hearts. Junior Sister Ni and I gave them a handle."

When she said this, Meng Lingyue already knew everything and smiled, "Senior Sister has good means, we will naturally cooperate."

Although both of them had means to cover their senses and were talking via voice transmission, they still didn't dare to talk too carefully. The two sides had a tacit understanding and continued to search for the demon snake's nest, but found nothing. It was found by Junior Sister Lian and Meng Zhixuan. There were some magic treasures in the nest, which I think were obtained by the demon snake hunting cultivators who entered the mountain, but most of them were stained by venom. Everyone took them and divided them randomly. The time was up, so they continued on their way and sent a signal to Li Pingyan and the others. After half a day, the two sides reunited. The disciples of the Golden Wave Sect were not in high spirits. Junior Brother Xiao had indeed been killed, and because they couldn't get there in time, his body was chewed by the demon beasts in the mountain. The Golden Wave Sect could only collect his bones, and even the Universe Bag was not found.

If Junior Brother Xiao left his body, he could still verify the cause of death, or alert everyone, but his body was gone, and most people thought he was killed by the demon snake. Even the disciples of the Golden Wave Sect, although sad, mostly calmed down after half a day. Checking the gains, they were still happy. Even Meng Zhixuan's eyebrows and eyes eased a lot because he got a few magic treasures, and he no longer ridiculed Meng Lingyue everywhere. Instead, Chi Pengpeng seemed to be in a bad mood because she didn't find the demon snake's nest. Seeing Ruan Ci and Li Pingyan talking and laughing, she said, "Junior Sister Ni, you should also be careful. Our flourishing sect disciples, marriage is decided by the sect. Don't be too anxious, and take care of Junior Sister Meng's face."

Her words were not only ridiculing Ruan Ci, but also provoking the relationship between Ruan Ci and Meng Lingyue, and even vaguely insulting Meng Lingyue for her low origin, giving her feelings away, not knowing how many times more mean than Meng Zhixuan's words. Li Pingyan was a little embarrassed and was about to speak, but Ruan Ci preempted, "Senior Sister, why be like this? Senior Brother Li and I are clean and white. Just now I went with him to find Junior Brother Xiao, not because I was worried about Senior Brother Li's safety, but because Senior Brother Li and Senior Sister Meng went, I was afraid that Senior Sister Chi would not be able to accommodate me."

The conflict between the two women was now obvious. Meng Lingyue's face turned pale, and she walked a few steps toward Ruan Ci and Li Pingyan, further away from Chi Pengpeng, making a choice with actual actions. Li Pingyan looked at the junior brothers and sisters beside him, sighed, and said, "You guys go over."

The Profound Heaven Sect is after all a sect of two sects. Li Pingyan and Meng Lingyue are highly cultivated in the sect and can have the confidence not to flatter Chi Pengpeng, but the others may not be so. They had to stand over either quickly or hesitantly. From then on, this group of people was divided into two factions. Ruan Ci and Chi Pengpeng ignored each other, and everything relied on the disciples of the Golden Wave and Pinghai sects and Li Pingyan and Meng Lingyue to pass messages privately.

The relationship was already so stiff, but they still didn't separate, naturally because there was profit to be made. Everyone walked for another half a month, during which they worked together to besiege three demon beasts. Although some people lost their lives, they all had significant gains. After all, there were many cultivators, and they understood array methods and talisman methods. Even if the cultivation was higher than them, the demon beasts would eventually become spoils. Among them, Ruan Ci and Chi Pengpeng were fighting against each other and showing amazing combat power, but the atmosphere in the team was even more tense. Coupled with the fact that they were already close to the depths of Huang Shoushan, the environment was even more dangerous. Although the gains were significant, everyone was frowning, only feeling that their hearts were very depressed, and even had a feeling of being unable to breathe.

Updated, sorry for the long wait, I will send out red packets for the next chapter in a while!

Everyone is an acting school! The higher the cultivation, the better the acting~

By the way, I read a very good novel yesterday, "Rebirth to Get Ahead" on Zhangyue. I feel that this one is enough for Hong Kong-style novels. It's a male protagonist novel, a story about rebirth in Hong Kong in the 50s to make a fortune. The intellectual game is really wonderful, and the logic is also very self-consistent. Great, great, great! Everyone go watch it quickly! (But the male protagonist slept with many women, and the writing is not too heavy. If you mind, you can not watch it)

I don't know what to eat for lunch, I can't report, I only saw a bowl of winter melon on the cutting board...
