Chapter 234

These two men and two women were Jiang Mo's senior brothers and sisters; they had practiced in the Yuxu Immortal Mansion for a long time and were certainly very familiar.

It could be said that they were two pairs of prospective Taoist companions, and if there were no accidents, they would be together after their cultivation was successful.

Jiang Mo's appearance was undoubtedly a test of the relationship between them.

One must know that Jiang Mo was beautiful and bubbly, possessing a pure and cute appearance while having a tall and plump figure, swaying when walking; this type of rule-breaking appearance was the type that any man could not resist.

The two senior brothers often used the excuse of entering the sect early and caring about Jiang Mo to secretly please Jiang Mo, the purpose certainly being to obtain Jiang Mo's favor.

As long as Jiang Mo was willing, both of them could dump their "girlfriends."

Anyway, they hadn't become Taoist companions yet, so they could have one better choice.

So her two senior sisters also became the spare tires of the two senior brothers, and several people often quarreled because of this.

If it were someone else, the two senior sisters would have left long ago.

But the backgrounds of these two senior brothers were not small; one was the young castle master of the Scorpio Castle, and one was the young family head of the Shanyin City Chen family; they were not only gifted but also had powerful backgrounds, and both were heirs of their own forces.

The two senior sisters also had opinions about Jiang Mo, but Jiang Mo only thought about cultivation and honestly followed Ning Tao to practice, so the two senior sisters didn't say anything and could still distinguish right from wrong.

Deep in the mountains outside Shanghe City, in a dense area, a Demon Cave forgotten by the world was hidden.

As long as one approached this area, one could feel a faint black aura floating nearby.

Today, Jiang Mo and her master Ning Tao, as well as the two senior brothers and sisters, came to this place.

It wasn't the first time exploring the Demon Cave; Jiang Mo swallowed the miasma-avoiding pill before entering the Demon Cave.

This could effectively avoid inhaling demon energy after entering the Demon Cave, causing damage to the body.

Major sects all had professional processes for raiding these places, whether in daily courses or previous training, they had learned this knowledge, which could be said to be common sense for ordinary cultivators.

The five of them practiced the same pulse sword array, which could produce a wonderful resonance during battle, making the sword light like weaving and the power doubled.

Ning Tao, as a master, was even more skilled in sword technique, and her white clothes were exceptionally dazzling in the dimness of the Demon Cave.

Inside the Demon Cave, the cold wind was blowing, and the demon energy was lingering.

They moved forward cautiously, when suddenly, a low roar broke the silence, and a group of demonized wolves rushed out from the darkness, their eyes red, fangs exposed, obviously affected by the demon energy, becoming exceptionally fierce.

"Form the array quickly!"

Ning Tao gave an order, and the five people quickly deployed the sword array, the sword light flickered, and they engaged in a fierce battle with the demonized wolves.

Jiang Mo held a long sword, her posture was vigorous, her sword moves were sharp, and each strike went straight to the vital points of the demonized wolves.

Under her leadership, the four cooperated tacitly, the power of the sword array increased greatly, and for a time, the demonized wolves couldn't get close.

However, just when they thought they had victory in hand, a mother wolf with a larger body appeared quietly; its eyes were redder, and its body was lingering with demon energy, obviously more powerful than ordinary demonized wolves.

It leaped suddenly, rushing straight at Jiang Mo, its speed astonishing.

"Junior Sister, be careful!"

A senior brother shouted, but it was too late to rescue.

Just at this critical moment, Ning Tao flashed, appearing in front of Jiang Mo like a ghost, waving her long sword, a brilliant sword light tore through the darkness, directly splitting the mother wolf in two.

The whole process was relaxed and free, as if she wasn't facing a powerful demonized wolf, but an insignificant ant.

"Wow! Master is so amazing!"

Jiang Mo cheered for her master like a little fan.

But her swaying amplitude was relatively large, making the two senior brothers a bit out of control.

"This Demon Cave has been abandoned for a long time, perhaps there is some danger, don't be careless."

As a master, Ning Tao was still observing seriously.

Ensuring that every disciple could survive was her job.

After simply cleaning up the spoils of war, several people continued to walk deep into the Demon Cave.

As they went deeper, the demonized creatures they encountered became stronger and stronger.

Ning Tao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she wondered in her heart: "It shouldn't be; although no one has come for so many years, why are there so many demonized creatures here? Could it be that a powerful mutant creature has appeared inside?"

Ning Tao's cultivation was high, so she could continue to walk inside, but if she did that, the disciples would encounter danger.

Just as they planned to retreat temporarily and make other plans, two figures walked over from behind.

The sudden sound of footsteps made several people instantly alert, and the atmosphere in the Demon Cave began to become tense.

I saw two figures walking slowly; one was a spirited young man, he was tall and straight, his face was handsome, and his eyebrows revealed an extraordinary aura; it was Li Chen.

And the other was a beautiful woman; she was graceful, her face was beautiful, as if a fairy from heaven had fallen into the mortal world; it was Li Chen's beloved concubine Wu Wu Nanzhi.

One was handsome and extraordinary, the other was beautiful and moving; they were truly a talented couple, a perfect match.

Li Chen had been enjoying himself in the imperial palace for a few days, then checked Li Li Sining's progress, found that she was about to break through to the Soul Spirit Realm, so he immediately came over to brush the task.

【Time-limited task: Demon Cave Mystery.】

【Task requirements: The host cultivates to the peak of the Condensing Essence Realm, can go to the designated Demon Cave, wait for the Demon Cave to open, and personally kill 100 demon creatures to complete the task, limited to 180 days.】

The location marked by the system happened to be this place.

Li Chen thought that this task was very simple; it was just 100 demon creatures, so it wasn't a matter of killing them at will.

Since the system required personal killing, in order not to trigger a bug and make himself run another trip, Li Chen didn't bring anyone other than Wu Wu Nanzhi, and rode the Holy Tiger over.

But when he arrived here, he found that someone seemed to have already entered the Demon Cave and killed quite a few demon creatures.

The two walked all the way in and discovered the six cultivators in front of them.

Both sides were sizing each other up.

Li Chen saw Jiang Mo at a glance, his heart moved slightly, and he said: "Eh, have we met before?"

He had a concubine named Jiang Rong, and another named Xie Xie Minjun.

One was Jiang Mo's sister, one was Jiang Mo's mother, so he also felt a trace of familiarity with Jiang Mo.

Li Chen had too many women, several hundred, so for a moment he really couldn't remember where he had seen her.

But Jiang Mo felt that this was just a low-class pickup technique, and she secretly slandered in her heart.

And one of her senior brothers mistakenly thought Li Chen was a lecher who came to plot against Jiang Mo, and was suddenly furious: "Get lost, don't have designs on my junior sister, you are not worthy!"

Another senior brother also booed: "Your pickup technique is clumsy, just save it; I've heard it enough in the past few years, can you change to some new words."

These two were like male lions protecting food, looking at Li Chen with wide eyes.

They hadn't eaten the meat yet, so how could they let others touch it.

To put it bluntly, even if it rotted here, they wouldn't allow others to touch it.

Even Jiang Mo's master, Ning Tao, felt that Li Chen was a person with ulterior motives.

Having a woman by his side, he still dared to pick up her disciple.

You don't even look at your appearance, are you worthy?

Eh, it seems quite worthy.

Wait, this is not the point; the point is that Jiang Mo only thinks about cultivation; as a master, she cannot let Jiang Mo go astray.

As a female cultivator, only by cultivating to a very high realm can one control one's own destiny.

Li Chen didn't expect that he would be rejected by the opposite side as soon as he appeared.

I saw Li Chen raise his hand and pat the void, and two crisp palm prints resounded through the entire Demon Cave.

The two male cultivators who had just been foul-mouthed fell to the ground in response, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, looking embarrassed.

"This is just a lesson, pay attention to your words next time."

Saying this, Li Chen prepared to take Wu Wu Nanzhi into the interior of the Demon Cave.

Such a sudden thing scared Ning Tao and Jiang Mo and the others.

The expert in front of them could actually hit people from the air? And they didn't discover it at all; what kind of powerful gap was that?

Ning Tao looked at her disciples being beaten, even if the disciples were foul-mouthed first, she followed the rules of the world, bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency, it was my disciple who offended with words; I am Ning Tao, an elder of the Yuxu Immortal Mansion; may I ask how to address Your Excellency."

Her language was neither humble nor arrogant, putting out her identity to see if she could afford to offend the person opposite her.

The Yuxu Immortal Mansion was a super large force in the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and it had recently been upgraded, and the He He Zongzhu was a Sage Realm expert, so they still wanted some face.

Upon hearing this, Li Chen stopped his footsteps; he was no longer a person who had just started out, and he often communicated with sect cultivators recently, so he understood the rules very well: if you can't beat them, report your family name.

If he didn't say it, wouldn't it seem a bit weak.

So he opened his mouth: "So it's Shangren Qingxu's disciple; I am the Emperor of May Tian Ce, Li Chen."

Before the words fell, Li Chen gently shook his sleeve, and a terrifying aura erupted, like a mountain torrent, instantly covering the few people in front of him.

This aura was so strong that Ning Tao and Jiang Mo and others felt their breathing stagnate, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on their hearts.

Even Ning Tao felt that she was like a candle in the wind under this aura, and could be wiped out by the man in front of her at any time.

Hearing Li Chen report his family name and claim to be the Emperor of May Tian Ce, the two senior brothers who fell to the ground were instantly occupied by panic and shock. One of the senior brothers, his face instantly turned pale, and fine sweat seeped out from his forehead.

He secretly regretted in his heart why he had to be foul-mouthed for a moment and offend this Emperor with terrifying strength.

He recalled the powerful strength Li Chen showed when he easily knocked them down, knowing that he had caused a big disaster this time.

The other senior brother was also terrified in his heart; he looked at Li Chen's figure, his eyes full of fear.

He regretted very much; he didn't expect that the person he casually greeted at the same age was actually a Sage Realm Emperor.

A name could be faked, but strength absolutely could not; the strength Li Chen just showed was unquestionable.

He secretly swore that he would never dare to be foul-mouthed again, otherwise offending a strong person would be a dead end.

And Ning Tao's eyes flashed with a complex look.

Although she hated the imperial clan very much, in front of Li Chen, she didn't dare to reveal the slightest dissatisfaction.

After all, the one in front of her was a Sage Realm Emperor, and his strength was enough to crush all of them.

!

The two senior sisters looked at Li Chen with complex expressions.

Seeing this, Jiang Mo stepped forward, knelt down and saluted respectfully, saying: "Ah? His Majesty Li Chen? I am Jiang Mo, Jiang Rong's sister; the senior brothers just offended, please forgive me."

Seeing Jiang Mo do this, the others also knelt on the ground one after another, even the two senior brothers who were beaten climbed up and knelt.

The sect disciples who were high above in the past could only show this posture in front of this Emperor.

Li Chen nodded slightly, his gaze stayed on Jiang Mo for a moment, and then he remembered where he had seen her.

Sure enough, she was Xie Xie Minjun's daughter, truly inheriting her mother's advantages perfectly.

Possessing a plump figure while having this baby-fat pretty face, it was indeed very rule-breaking.

Since she was a relative of his concubine, Li Chen said lightly: "It doesn't matter, those who don't know are not guilty."

Saying this, Li Chen let these people get up first.

He didn't intend to be as knowledgeable as these people, he just came to complete a task.

The Demon Cave is very dangerous, but with Li Chen's strength, they didn't need to remind Li Chen at all, and didn't even have the need to follow Li Chen.

So after Ning Tao apologized seriously, she led her disciples to leave the Demon Cave.

Walking out of the Demon Cave, Jiang Mo asked curiously: "Master, what is His Majesty doing in this Demon Cave?"

Within her cognitive range, the strongest should be the Mansion Master Shangren Qingxu, but according to some true disciples of the sect, this time going to the western expedition to the Sassanid Dynasty, one could see that His Majesty Li Chen's strength was stronger than the Mansion Master.

So she inexplicably felt a trace of awe for Li Chen.

Still the same saying, the six of them all hated the imperial clan, but in front of Li Chen, an Emperor with absolute power, they only had fear and didn't dare to have other expressions.

"Not clear, but we'd better not get involved." Ning Tao still didn't have a good impression of the imperial clan.

This training had ended, so Jiang Mo and her group planned to return to Shanghe City, rest, and then return to the sect.

On the other side, Li Chen and Wu Wu Nanzhi had already entered the depths of the Demon Cave.

"Jiang Rong's sister is quite beautiful, aren't you moved?" Wu Wu Nanzhi said casually while sizing up the surroundings.

According to Ning Tao's statement, the demons inside were very terrifying, and some, after mutation, couldn't even tell what they were.

Some were in groups, attacking like bats.

If one wasn't careful, one might be poisoned.

It was such a dangerous place, but Wu Wu Nanzhi was as relaxed and comfortable as if she were strolling in her own backyard.

That was because of Li Chen's existence; anyway, as long as a demon creature approached, Li Chen would raise his hand, snap his fingers, and after the golden light, they would all turn to ashes.

Some even Wu Wu Nanzhi didn't notice what they were, and they had already been wiped out by Li Chen.

This kind of powerful sense of security could only be felt by those around Li Chen.

Bored, Wu Wu Nanzhi began to act as a wingman for Li Chen again.

"I think Jiang Mo's skills are okay, she can form a sword array for Li Li Sining."

When Li Chen said this, Wu Wu Nanzhi could hear Li Chen's determination to win Jiang Mo.

She thought in her heart: Your excuse is good, making Li Li Sining take the blame.

Li Chen was also very helpless; the two hundred concubines obtained in this western expedition indeed had capable ones, that is, the Sassanid Dynasty's Empress Alisha.

But Alisha was almost maxed out, and it was estimated she had no intention of forming a sword array with Li Li Sining.

Alisha's sister Emily had decent cultivation, and Li Chen tried it personally; her endurance was very strong.

It's just that the cultivation method was different from the May Tian Ce Dynasty's cultivators, and couldn't be integrated into Li Li Sining's sword array.

Li Li Sining also urged Li Chen to hurry out and find one; wasn't this just catching Jiang Mo.

However, before that, he still had to complete the task; Li Chen's task progress was now 【92/100】.

Killing a few more demon creatures would complete the task and leave this ghost place.

Deep in the Demon Cave, the cold wind roared.

The rock walls all around were covered with strange black vines, and blood-red fruits were growing on the vines, emitting a disgusting, fishy, and sweet smell.

"These are Soul-Eating Vines, legendary to grow only in places with rich demon energy, and the fruits can corrode a cultivator's soul." Wu Wu Nanzhi whispered; Old Man Wu also introduced them when he took her for training in the past.

The reason she told Li Chen these was because she knew Li Chen had always been in seclusion in the imperial palace and didn't know these things.

Li Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the corpses of demon creatures lying horizontally and vertically on the ground.

Most of these corpses were killed with one sword, and sharp sword energy still remained at the wound.

It seems a sword master came here not long ago.

The two followed the bloodstains, walked along the winding passage, and discovered quite a few demon creature corpses scattered along the way, some already rotten, some still retaining the ferocious look before death.

The appearance of these demon creature corpses seemed to confirm even more that someone had come to this place.

Walking for about ten minutes, they arrived in front of a stone door.

The stone door was half-covered, and a trace of faint light leaked from the crack of the door, vaguely visible a figure inside.

That person was covered in wounds, black energy was coming out of the wounds, and his expression was painful and distorted, obviously poisoned by demon energy.

"You two must not come in!"

That person had already discovered the movement outside the door and suddenly shouted.

After he took a long breath, he continued: "I was injured by a demon creature, it has been killed by me, but I have been eroded by demon energy, and now I cannot control myself; trouble you to prepare two stalks of Calm Heart Immortal Grass for me, and I will recover, and then I will definitely protect your path."

Li Chen heard this, and his heart suddenly understood.

It turned out that the system letting him come here was to obtain a path protector.

This is every system task, more or less giving the host some Easter eggs, allowing the host to become stronger while also having gains.

But the problem is, where does Li Chen need any path protector, who can protect his path.

So he simply pushed open the stone door, and with a boom, the stone door was opened.

The mysterious expert inside was shocked, his body trembling uncontrollably, the corners of his eyes flushed red, and a terrifying sword intent erupted.

"Run! This is my strongest sword intent!"

He roared, his long sword like electricity, slashing at Li Chen.

Seeing Li Chen hadn't had time to dodge, this mysterious expert felt sorry for Li Chen.

Such a strong move, I'm afraid the young man in front of him will be cut in half.

But what shocked him next was that the young man just lightly clamped the slashing long sword with two fingers.

His so-called strongest sword intent, when it arrived beside the young man, vanished without a trace.

The scene appearing now made him stand still, with a look of disbelief, and even the demon energy rioting in his body was slightly stunned.

One must know that he is the He He Zongzhu of the Xiaguang Sword Sect, Feng Chu, the number one sword cultivator in the Heavenly Abyss Realm nearby.

He couldn't believe that someone could so easily catch his blow.

Feng Chu swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "May I ask what realm Your Excellency is in?"

Even a fool knew this guy was stronger than himself, so he used honorifics when speaking.

Li Chen glanced at him and said: "Sage Realm."

Feng Chu: "..."

I said, how could this guy dare to open the stone door directly, and not have any fearful expression when facing my supreme sword energy; it turns out you are the scary guy!
