Chapter 68: Shadow of the Demon Sect

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 demonic beast are very tough, and the venom can stain magic treasures. It is not suitable to strike at will. Let us lure it into the array and slowly wear down its magic power."

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

Her movement technique is indeed outstanding. One can see the golden ring plowing through the forest, and a point of green light seems unable to bear the pressure of the golden ring, appearing and fleeing toward the open space. The two snakes make a sharp whistle in their mouths, and their figures suddenly dart, their speed actually fast enough to be a bit blurry. In just a blink of an eye, they appear behind the green light, opening their mouths and biting fiercely on the green light. The green light flickers, still flying forward. After a moment, a young girl falls out, using her last strength to pounce forward, but her breath is shaky, looking like the end of her strength.

The two snakes are happy to see the prey, moving forward rustlingly, pouncing toward the staggering girl. The smaller male snake seems to suddenly notice something wrong, hissing, and curling its tail toward the female snake, wanting to stop it from moving forward. But at this time, white light flashes straight in the forest, thick fog gradually rises, mixed with the green jade miasma, covering the trees. In the field of momentum, this side of the world has been reduced to this small open space in the forest, and there are crises everywhere. The two snakes probe their snake tongues in all directions, but none of them find a way to survive. However, they are not yet panicked or irritable. Their tails are twisted together, and they immediately coil into a snake array. The remaining two golden rings on their necks manifest, emitting light above their heads, protecting their seven inches, looking like they are sitting firmly on the fishing platform.

Outside the array, a green light flashes, and Meng Lingyue's figure reappears, but she is smiling and unharmed. Ruan Ci bows to her and praises, "Senior Sister's illusion technique is truly powerful."

She says this sincerely. Meng Lingyue smiles slightly, waves her hand, and says, "A small trick, not worth mentioning. Please Junior Sister, strike and kill the golden ring in the forest, which can also ruin the cultivation of this snake."

Ruan Ci happily accepts the order, pulls out the Frost Sword, locks her spiritual sense on those golden rings, and follows the sword. A sword light shuttles through the forest, stringing half of the dozen golden rings away.

She has the Donghua Sword protecting her body, and the poisonous gas of the Foundation Establishment demonic snake cannot stain her. However, the golden ring is very tough. Ruan Ci exerts her magic power, shakes the Frost Sword, and the sword intent is stimulated. Only then does the golden ring shatter into pieces. Not far away, Chi Pengpeng also sweeps over, raising her hand and clapping. There are more than a dozen bracelets on her wrists, and at this time they clink and knock, making a pleasant tune. The remaining half of the golden rings were flying around in the forest, but at this time, as if attracted, they fly toward her one after another. Chi Pengpeng raises her right hand and shakes it a few times. The bracelets on her hands make a buzzing sound, and the golden rings also vibrate accordingly. Before long, they burst into several segments, falling into the grass and losing their spirituality.

Once an expert strikes, one knows if there is any. Although these two flourishing sect disciples let Meng Lingyue and Li Pingyan preside over the overall situation, the strength they casually display is also worthy of the respect given by everyone. If Ruan Ci is just simple movement technique and abundant magic power, Chi Pengpeng's means are even more mysterious and extraordinary. Everyone cannot help but applaud loudly. Chi Pengpeng glances at Ruan Ci, snorts lightly, returns to the side of the array, and says, "The demonic snake has lost its golden ring and is already fierce. Shall we trap it to death, or enter the array and kill it to save some time?"

Sure enough, everyone watches outside the array and can see that the two snakes are obviously irritable after the golden rings are cut. The female snake is fiercer and more irritable. At this time, it is spitting tongues and pouncing everywhere, impacting the blockades set up in the field of momentum. The array disk also constantly transmits light vibrations, but the spiritual jade embedded in the array disk is still bright, showing that the spiritual power is still sufficient. Li Pingyan says, "Don't be in a hurry for a moment. Let this small array wear down their magic power. Three hours later, the array's magic power operation will reveal a door of life. 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, when cultivators fight, it often takes 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 settles in their positions, resting and waiting. The two snakes keep hitting the array, but they don't understand the changes in the array. Hitting hard like this can only consume the spiritual jade on the array disk. However, it brings 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 operates to a low point. The cultivators scramble to enter and fight fiercely with the two snakes. They are arranged according to their cultivation level. Once they are not the enemy, Li Pingyan will stimulate the array disk to send them out. Ruan Ci, Chi Pengpeng, and Meng Lingyue have already struck before, so they don't strike anymore. Although the two snakes are fierce, their cultivation is mostly on the golden rings on their heads. After losing a large number of golden rings first, they can only rely on their bodies to carry the damage hard. These dozen cultivators grind 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, dismember the two snakes, and because everyone had dealt with it this time, there was no distinction between victory and defeat, and the spoils were divided equally. As for the spiritual jade consumed before, it was also supplemented by everyone.

After calculating this, except for a few pieces of spiritual jade, everyone gained a lot. But the Golden Wave Sect disciples were not happy, and Li Pingyan was even more anxious. Just after dividing the spoils, he said in a deep voice, "The snake's nest 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 demonic snake, and I don't know what went wrong. He made a miserable cry and then had no news. He hasn't returned for several hours. In this dangerous place, I'm afraid it's more ominous than auspicious. Li Pingyan is obviously very concerned, but he was very calm just now when surrounding and killing the demonic snake, and he didn't mention it at all, insisting on waiting until the spoils were divided before gathering the disciples to leave together. His actions are also very methodical. Meng Lingyue says, "I am also very familiar with Junior Brother Xiao. His movement technique is quite good, only a little worse than mine. This pair of demonic snakes cannot kill him. Li Lang, I will go with you."

Under her concern, she unconsciously called him Li Lang 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."

Saying 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 bowed 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, as if talking to herself, "This Senior Brother Li is truly amazing."

Meng Zhixuan said sourly, "That's right, Golden Wave Sect fellow Daoists, having such a Senior Brother, I am very envious."

His words clearly pointed 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 bloody smell here is heavy, I'm afraid it will attract other demonic beasts. Our manpower is scattered, and it is not good to fight. Two people in a group divided into small teams to search for the demonic snake's nest. 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. When you leave, light up the spiritual light to point the way for Senior Brother Li and the others."

Although there are a few bold disciples in the Pinghai Sect who have 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 to practice for the first time and refused to make decisions. In the end, everyone listened to Meng Lingyue and searched for the demonic snake's nest. Chi Pengpeng did not 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 demonic snake's nest, so they didn't dare to say much.

These two walked side by side, far away from others. Chi Pengpeng raised both hands, and the golden bracelets knocked, making a buzzing sound, the sound was very clear. Only then did she transmit her voice and ask, "The death of Senior Brother Wu just now, is there any mystery?"

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 also afraid that he has encountered evil methods."

As for what Demon Sect it is and why they want to deal with them, the two of them don't talk about it at all. Do Demon Sect disciples need an excuse to hunt and kill 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 be harmonious and cooperate sincerely is only because everyone is under the cover of the Profound Heaven Sect, and this place is not in a Grotto-Heaven, so they cannot escape the sect's sensing, so they can still trust each other. If they reach those small Grotto-Heaven worlds, it is hard to say what the relationship between the two sides is.

"The means of Demon Sect disciples are evil, killing people one after another, it may be a 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, "We haven't, but everything has a first time."

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

Killing intent appeared in her eyes, and she was clearly suspicious of Meng Zhixuan early on. It is likely that with just one word from Meng Lingyue, she would take the initiative. Meng Lingyue was not surprised when she heard her ask this, and said, "He wasn't like this before. I was wondering why he seemed to be a different person this time. Senior Brother Li should also feel it, but he didn't expose it—Demon Sect disciples have always been mysterious in their actions. I'm afraid he is just a pawn thrown out to distract us, and the real mastermind is still lurking around us."

Meng Zhixuan provoked her several times, but she didn't get angry at all. It turned out that she already knew that he might be wrong, and she 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. 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 have means to cover their senses and are transmitting voices to talk, they still dare not speak too carefully. Both sides have a tacit understanding, so they continue to search for the demonic snake's nest, but they have no gains. It was found by Junior Sister Lian and Meng Zhixuan. There are some magic treasures in the nest, which I think were obtained by the demonic snake hunting cultivators who entered the mountain. However, most of them were stained by venom. Everyone took them and divided them at will. The time has come, so they continue on their way and sent a signal to Li Pingyan and others. After half a day, the two sides reunited. The Golden Wave Sect disciples were not in high spirits. Junior Brother Xiao had indeed been killed, and because they didn't arrive in time, his remains were mostly chewed by demonic beasts in the mountains. The Golden Wave Sect could only collect his remains, and they didn't even find the Qiankun bag.

If Junior Brother Xiao left his remains, he could still examine the cause of death or alert everyone. But his remains were gone, and most people thought he was killed by the demonic snake. Even the Golden Wave Sect disciples, although sad, mostly recovered after half a day. Checking the gains, they were still happy. Even Meng Zhixuan's expression 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 demonic snake's nest. Seeing Ruan Ci and Li Pingyan talking and laughing, she said, "Junior Sister Ni, you should also check yourself. For us 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 humiliating Meng Lingyue for her low origin, promising love randomly. I don't know how many times more mean it was 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 followed 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 left, I was afraid that Senior Sister Chi would not be able to accommodate me."

The conflict between the two women is 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 practical actions. Li Pingyan looked at the junior brothers and sisters beside him, sighed, and said, "You go over."

The Profound Heaven Sect is after all a two-sect superior sect. Li Pingyan and Meng Lingyue are well-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 transmit messages privately.

The relationship is already so stiff, but they still don't separate, naturally because there is profit to be made. Everyone walked for another half a month, during which they worked together to surround and kill three demonic beasts. Although a few people were killed, they all had considerable gains. After all, there are many cultivators and great power, and they understand arrays and talisman methods. Even if the cultivation is higher than them, the demonic beasts will eventually become spoils. Among them, Ruan Ci and Chi Pengpeng fought against each other and showed amazing combat power, but the atmosphere in the team was even more tense. Coupled with the fact that they are now close to the depths of Huang Shoushan, the environment is even more dangerous. Although the gains are abundant, everyone is frowning, only feeling that their hearts are very depressed, and even have a feeling of being unable to breathe.

Updated, sorry for the long wait, everyone. 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 one article is enough for Hong Kong-style literature. It's a male protagonist novel, a story about rebirth in Hong Kong in the 50s to get rich. The intellectual game is truly wonderful, and the logic is also very self-consistent. Great, great, great! Everyone go watch it quickly! (However, 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 winter melon on the cutting board...
