Chapter 274: The Demon Sect's Plan

With the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus in hand, Su Ping kept it safe but was in no rush to cultivate it.

Instead, he returned first to the Blood God Secret Realm to interrogate the five demons he had captured during this operation.

Of course, while he said five, the only one who truly required him to employ his methods was the Demon Heart Old Monster of the Demon Heart Sect.

The other demons only had Golden Core cultivation bases in their original bodies and had already been beaten into critical condition.

They could be slowly devoured by the Blood God's true body to obtain a large amount of relevant intelligence.

The Demon Heart Old Monster was different; this fellow's true entity was a pitch-black Nascent Soul, currently hiding within his only remaining head to resist the erosion of the Blood God's power.

Seeing Su Ping appear in his field of vision.

The Demon Heart Old Monster's large head grinned:

"Xueshen Laozu!"

"This time, I have fallen! I never imagined you could arrive so quickly!"

"What a pity, I have suffered a total loss this time!"

Su Ping had intended to chuckle: Could there even be a next time?

But immediately, upon seeing the expression on the face of the Demon Heart Old Monster, who showed not the slightest fear of death, he thought of the Demon Emperor White Ape and felt a sudden realization:

"Is this your second Nascent Soul?"

The Demon Heart Old Monster grinned and replied:

"A second Nascent Soul is rare and hard to come by; I regret very much that I lack such talent."

"However, just as the Great Golden Light Temple has divine abilities to split oneself into three, the Demon Heart Sect also has secret techniques for soul division."

"Otherwise, knowing full well that the Abbot was setting a trap, how would I have walked into it?"

The Demon Heart Old Monster was very frank about this.

This left Su Ping slightly stunned, though he also felt it was within reason.

For these old monsters of the Cultivation World, trying to trap them with schemes was already extremely difficult.

To make them enter a trap, one could only rely on open plots.

And the young Abbot of the Great Golden Light Temple escorting the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus this time was just such an open plot.

The game played was: I know that you know that I know that you also know... but after weighing the pros and cons, one has no choice but to enter the trap and follow the script of both sides.

The Demon Heart Old Monster also generously indicated that the moment he entered the trap, he had already prepared to abandon this avatar.

In the eyes of the Demon Heart Old Monster, as long as he could obtain the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus, these sacrifices were all worth it!

After all, besides this opportunity, they could think of no other way.

Could it be that they were supposed to attack the Great Golden Light Temple for the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus?

If they truly had that ability, would they still be hiding and skulking about in this Cultivation World like rats crossing the street?

"The Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus, is it truly that important to you?"

Su Ping feigned having his curiosity piqued and asked deliberately.

The Demon Heart Old Monster chuckled, wanting to nod, but discovered that he seemed unable to make that movement now.

He had no choice but to stretch his mouth wider to show his smugness:

"The space produced by the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus is the best vehicle for us to avoid the great catastrophe of the Cultivation World!"

"When the great catastrophe truly arrives, the entire world will fall apart, and there will no longer be any Cave Heaven and Blessed Land relying on the Cultivation World that can continue to exist..."

"We can use this Golden Lotus space as a Flying Boat... to depart from this world and seek another path to survival."

Having said this, the Demon Heart Old Monster stared at Su Ping and said:

"If you are willing to hand the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus over to me... I swear in the name of the Supreme Holy Venerable that I will absolutely reserve a spot for you!"

Hearing this rhetoric from the Demon Heart Old Monster, Su Ping imagined in his mind the scene of them using a space secret realm crafted into a Flying Boat to escape the world bubble of the Cultivation World.

It was just that, hearing this, one could tell there were many unreliable aspects to it.

If it were truly that simple to run away, Su Ping believed the various Immortal Sects would have the full capability to gather the various sects to complete more Flying Boats.

Seeming to see Su Ping's doubt.

The Demon Heart Old Monster did not wait for Su Ping to ask, and took the initiative to clear up the confusion:

"I know it is hard for you to believe that our plan can succeed."

"However, this is indeed the best method we could find for the survival of our Holy Sect."

"It is also a method that can only be applied to our Holy Sect and a few fated people."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Ping finally understood, and staring at the Demon Heart Old Monster's head, he said:

"You made a deal with the child of the Evil God?"

"Let me guess, you are helping or even cooperating with the plan of the child of the Evil God, accelerating the pollution of this world."

"In exchange for the child of the Evil God sparing you when you flee?"

"Let me think, the promise you received in the deal should only be that you won't be attacked by the other party when you escape."

"As for whether you can successfully escape the mother body afterward, it all depends on fate?"

"So... you are actually using the method of betraying the world you were born and raised in to trade for a possibility of survival?"

Su Ping watched the other party fall silent and chuckled:

"Compared to those evil cultivators, you have made some progress; those fellows are working hard just to become food for the child of the Evil God."

"The way they deceive themselves is both stupid and pathetic to watch."

"This seat does not believe your plan could possibly be a true path to survival."

"Of course, this seat also does not think I can convince you, after all, it seems you have already paid too high a cost for this plan."

"So... time will prove that what this seat says is not false."

After saying this, the phantom of the Salvation Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image appeared behind Su Ping.

Supplemented by the bonus from the Blood God Secret Realm, the Salvation Heavenly Venerable stretched out an arm that looked slender compared to its body and pointed a finger at the forehead of the Demon Heart Old Freak.

Immediately!

Under the North Star Seven Killings Secret Technique.

The Demon Heart Old Freak's head was destroyed, and his pitch-black Nascent Soul was also enveloped by the two forces of Greedy Wolf and Broken Army, turning into ashes and annihilating!

Everything happened too quickly, especially since the North Star Seven Killings Secret Technique had shattered the Demon Heart Old Freak's Nascent Soul shell in an instant.

This resulted in the Demon Heart Old Freak failing to even self-detonate his Nascent Soul.

However, at the very last moment, the Demon Heart Old Freak did not leave much knowledge for Su Ping.

There were only a few memory fragments.

And Su Ping guessed that these fragments were also left behind intentionally by the other party.

Su Ping, who possessed a large number of protective measures, was not afraid of being contaminated by memory fragments.

If there really were such powerful contaminating power, the Demon Heart Old Freak would not be called a Demon Sect member, but a grandmaster of evil cultivators.

Reading memories.

Su Ping stepped into the perspective of the Demon Heart Old Freak.

He saw a huge underground space.

A Demon God statue with horns on its head was sitting cross-legged in the underground.

This Demon God statue was extremely large, sitting cross-legged at three or four thousand meters high.

It looked extremely majestic and mysterious.

Many high-ranking members of the Demon Sect were gathered below this Demon God statue, discussing something intensely.

After about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.

These high-ranking Demon Sect members finally reached a compromise and worshipped the Demon God statue together.

Then, in the mid-air in front of the Demon God statue.

A blood-red single eye emerged, and with the help of the Demon Heart Old Freak and several high-ranking Demon Sect members whose status was clearly extraordinary.

This blood-red single eye stuck to the center of the Demon God statue's eyebrows, becoming its third eye!

Afterwards, the entire Demon God statue appeared with faint blood streaks, and its aura began to slowly grow stronger and stronger.

Su Ping pulled himself out of the memory fragments.

He knew in his heart that the blood-red single eye should be the descent of a portion of the Evil God's Son's true body.

It was just like that severed finger.

The contamination power of this part of the Evil God's Son's true body was even more terrifying than those Evil God Avatars.

And these high-ranking Demon Sect members were actually helping this Evil God's Son's true body organ combine with that Demon God statue, which looked extraordinary at first glance.

Was this to find a body suitable for the other party to exert its strength in the Cultivation World?

Su Ping intuitively felt that this possibility was very high.

Afterwards, Su Ping communicated with the Blood God Secret Realm and learned information about other demons.

Except for the fact that these demons did not know that in the Demon Heart Old Freak's heart, the best outcome for ambushing the young Abbot was mutual destruction.

Other information could be matched.

And unlike the Demon Heart Old Freak who was stingy with inheritance, the techniques and secret arts that these demons had learned themselves were understood quite a bit by the Blood God true body.

In addition, among the relics of these demons taken away from the battlefield.

He also found Storage Spirit Tools containing a large number of Spirit Stones, Spirit Objects, and Inheritance Jade Slips.

This was also related to the fact that the vast majority of people in the Demon Sect were selfish.

For these demons, carrying good things with them was the most important thing.

Su Ping was curious about these Magic Path Techniques, but he would just take a look to broaden his knowledge.

At least for a long time, with the North Star Divine Art in hand, Su Ping did not intend to switch to other techniques.

…………

"Amitabha."

Great Golden Light Temple, Nanhuang Qundao branch temple.

The young Abbot received the Jade Slip promised by Su Ping.

Inside was the information gathered from the Demon Heart Old Freak, including that memory fragment.

This made the young Abbot's heart sink.

He had seen some Divine Ability Secret Techniques from the Great Golden Light Temple from the Demon God statue.

Without a doubt.

Regarding that escape plan of the Demon Sect.

There were indeed people in the Great Golden Light Temple who were tempted and participated.

The young Abbot had guessed this for a long time, but after confirming it, he still felt some emotion.

The person capable of such a move might be some fellow disciple he was familiar with...

The young Abbot activated his Dharma Eye and took a good look at the Nanhuang Qundao for a while.

Subsequently, just as the young Abbot was planning to seek an audience with the Xueshen Laozu again.

The young Abbot received an urgent message and could only regretfully leave this island.

Su Ping, having fulfilled his promise, returned to the Pot Heaven and began to cultivate the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus with Sister Theresa.

Although there was no plan to use the Secret Realm to build a Flying Boat to run away.

Being able to expand his portable space a little was still very good.

…………

In a cluster of underground palaces.

Moxin Laoguai suddenly turned pale and began to retch violently with a "wa" sound.

After a good while, Moxin Laoguai finally recovered and cursed a few times in his heart.

Then, he recalled the certain tone with which Xueshen Laozu had asserted that the Demon Sect's plan would definitely fail.

While feeling resentful, he could not help but feel a knot of unease in his heart.

It was also at this moment.

Moxin Laoguai was suddenly startled in his heart.

He suddenly realized a problem.

Why was his lair...

... suddenly so quiet?

Although for the sake of safety and secrecy, Moxin Laoguai had not left a single living person behind, killing them all after bringing them in.

And then refined them into evil ghost slaves.

They would still produce slight fluctuations when moving.

"Not good!"

Moxin Laoguai did not perceive danger in the surroundings, yet he habitually prepared to escape, decisively abandoning this stronghold.

However, not long after entering the underground.

Moxin Laoguai discovered that he had escaped from one place into another underground space.

He was slightly stunned, and immediately discovered that this underground space was the very palace cluster he had just left.

"Have I been trapped?"

"To trap me while I was performing the Soul-Splitting Technique!"

"Who is it! Who exactly is it!"

Moxin Laoguai paced in the underground palace, screaming crazily.

However, no matter how loud his voice was, it could not transmit any message to the outside at all.

Because the underground palace cluster where Moxin Laoguai was located, including the surrounding hundred meters of soil.

Had all been shrunk to scale and placed inside a small glass box.

And then this glass box appeared on the palm of the Demon God statue's right hand, which was resting flat against its chest.

Being stared at by the Demon God's third eye and a blurry phantom together.

"A world in a box! This method is not bad."

The Demon God statue spoke slowly, uttering human words.

"This deity agrees and will sign the same agreement with you."

"As long as you can assist this deity in completing this mission, this deity promises that you will not encounter any obstruction when you leave!"

Following the agreement reached between the Demon God statue and the blurry phantom.

The blurry phantom bowed slightly and left.

Then, the Demon God statue looked at the glass box in its palm and chanted a strange incantation.

Accompanied by the third eye shooting out a red light that shone into the glass box.

The trapped Moxin Laoguai immediately sensed the abnormality.

The entire underground space began to mutate.

Every piece of green tile and every mural in those palaces seemed to be twisting and mutating into an Evil Spirit.

It was also upon sensing this power from the Evil God.

Moxin Laoguai's face changed drastically, realizing who exactly was dealing with him.

He was unwilling to accept it, but found that under this transformation, all his various methods were powerless.

He could only watch helplessly as he turned into a Nascent Soul Spirit Pill that was highly nourishing to the vital energy.

And was then swallowed in one gulp by the Demon God statue, contributing his own strength to the Demon God statue's rounded and thorough connection.

The Demon God statue, having swallowed the Spirit Pill transformed from Moxin Laoguai, suddenly lowered its eyes and let out an "eh" sound.

Immediately, it chanted another incantation, and then ignored the escaped soul fragment Moxin Laoguai had left outside.

That was a life-saving soul fragment Moxin Laoguai had left in the distance, following the principle of a "cunning rabbit having three burrows."

It was buried in the cemetery of a small sect somewhere.

With the destruction of Moxin Laoguai's main body and Divine Soul.

The soul fragment suddenly woke up.

And immediately devoured the surrounding Spirit Qi and various energies.

At the same time, various Spirit Objects buried deeper were also unsealed, flew out, and fell into the soul fragment's hands.

Enabling this soul fragment of Moxin Laoguai, in just over ten breaths of time.

To transform into a Ghost King with an extraordinary aura and well-equipped gear.

However, even though he was already a Spirit Body.

Moxin Laoguai still discovered that a curse from the Evil God had appeared on his body.

Wisps of Evil Qi emerged from his heart, the center of his brows, and his dantian, causing Moxin Laoguai's alarm bells to ring wildly.

"This is to wipe me out completely!"

Moxin Laoguai was incomparably terrified and extremely unwilling.

In the blink of an eye, he had already performed eighteen secret techniques and used several Spirit Treasures.

He even utilized a strange artifact.

Yet he could not stop the Evil Qi curse within his body from growing.

After letting out a few unwilling roars.

The Old Monster Moxin calmed down, recalling Xueshen Laozu, whom his original body had sworn to take revenge upon.

"..."

"My original body's Divine Soul has already been extinguished, so why should I still care about any oaths!"

Old Monster Moxin stomped his feet, and after gathering up the hidden wealth he had stashed away.

He stirred up a black wind and then flew off in the direction of Nanhuang Qundao.
