Chapter 242 The Demon Cave Descends, and Shudu Falls

When Han Yi found out, it was already the seventh day since the Demon Cave erupted.

Xuandan Peak, inner hall.

Six figures sat down one by one.

"It's strange. Even if the Demon Cave was born, it would not be chosen in Shudu. The Heavenly Demon would generally choose a remote place, but at least there would be a sect of Jindan cultivators descending. In this way, there would be enough time to occupy the flesh of the Jindan cultivators and transform them into the Heavenly Demon True Body of the Heavenly Demon Lord, so that they would have the strength to establish the Heavenly Demon Ritual."

"Shudu is the territory of the Duke of Zhenguo. There are many True Lord cultivators. For cultivators, the aura of the Heavenly Demon descending cannot be easily covered up. Once the passage outside the realm is discovered, it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch. How could it evolve to the point of forming a Demon Cave?"

The one who had this question was Si Hongxue.

More than 40 years ago, the Demon Cave appeared between Taixu Sect and Yujing Mountain. The entire Dagan was affected. Even Xuandan Sect, which was only a Jindan sect at the time, had to send thousands of people to participate in the battle to eliminate the Heavenly Demon.

Back then, Si Hongxue and several other great elders followed Yuan Shun to Ganzhou to join the battle of the Demon Cave, and they had a deeper understanding of the Demon Cave.

Shen Ping's face was solemn, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"I also have this question. This time, the situation is unusual."

Back then, Shen Ping, as a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, also participated in the battle of the Demon Cave. He knew clearly how cruel the Demon Cave was to cultivators, and how terrifying those demons who occupied the cultivators' bodies and manifested their true bodies were.

Zhuge Wuyou sighed in his heart. Although he had never participated in the battle of the Demon Cave, he knew the dangers involved. He calmed down and spoke slowly.

"No matter what."

"The demon cave has appeared, and Da Gan has asked many sects to go and destroy the demons, and my Xuandan Sect is naturally among them."

"Now, you all know the situation of the sect. The sect master has disappeared, Senior Brother Qin has died, and the one with the highest realm is me."

"So I decided that I will lead the team this time, Shen Ping and Si Yuan will go with me, and then select 30 foundation building, 400 inner sects, and 1,000 outer sects to form the Xuandan Sect team."

"The departure time will be set in seven days."

When Zhuge Wuyou said this, everyone was silent.

Theoretically, now in the entire Xuandan Sect, his realm is indeed the highest, and it is unique, the late Jindan stage, followed by Si Hongxue, Huo Ming and Han Yi's middle Jindan stage.

However.

Even if Zhuge Wuyou has solved the poison of the Soul Suo San and his strength has recovered, he can only be ordinary in the late Jindan stage, not much outstanding, and far inferior to the Jindan cultivators on the real person list.

However

This expedition must be attended by all the sects and cultivators of Da Gan. If Xuan Dan Sect did not even have a late Jin Dan cultivator, it would certainly arouse suspicion from others.

At this critical moment, he needs to stand up even more.

Han Yi, who was beside Zhuge Wuyou, lowered his eyes and thought more.

Qin Wuxian discovered something about the Wen Xiang Sect, and the guardian of the Wen Xiang Sect, Xinghe Zhenjun, appeared in Shudu again. Shi Heng's soul shadow also revealed that the Wen Xiang Sect was preparing to make trouble in Shudu, and now the Demon Cave has appeared in Shudu.

The logical cause and effect here cannot help but Han Yi think deeply.

The Wen Xiang Sect made trouble, and led the Demon Cave?

This does not make sense.

The entire Yuheng Realm, no, the entire Xiuxian Realm knows that the Heavenly Demon has only endless greed for cultivators, and there is no benefit at all. Without that cultivator being so crazy as to cooperate with the Heavenly Demon, there would be no cultivator who would open the Heavenly Realm Channel and lead the Heavenly Demon down.

If this is true, then the demon that appeared must have directly occupied the cultivator's body and manifested its true form. This is definitely a death wish.

Han Yi did not completely deny this possibility in his heart. The Wenxiang Sect itself is a cult. Maybe there will be some way to reach an agreement with the demons and cause trouble in Shudu.

However.

At present, even if he has some guesses, he can't do anything. Even if he breaks through to the middle stage of the golden elixir, he is just a bigger ant to the Wenxiang Sect and the Demon Cave.

Han Yi thought about it and said.

"No, I'll go."

"Senior Brother Shen and Senior Brother Zhu, stay in the sect and protect our sect."

"Listen to me first."

"I'm familiar with Shudu, and I suspect that this demon cave is not that simple. It may be related to the Wenxiang Sect. I've greeted this evil cult several times. It's quite evil and very terrifying in terms of strength."

"Besides, my strength has broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core. As long as I don't encounter the Yuanying Zhenjun or the Heavenly Demon Lord of the same level as the Yuanying Zhenjun, I'm confident that I can escape."

"If only Senior Brother Zhuge and the other two go, their high-end strength will be much weaker. In this way, if they encounter the Heavenly Demon and are defeated, more people will doubt the reality of the Xuandan Sect."

"If I go, it can be understood that the Xuandan Sect allows me to experience. I can kill ordinary Heavenly Demon Kings. They will definitely not be weaker than Senior Brother Qin's team. This is the most suitable."

Han Yi said in a deep voice, with very sufficient reasons. After the voice fell, even Zhuge Wuyou was silent for three breaths, and then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, his face relieved.

"Junior Brother Han is right. At this time, we must not let people see the strength of Xuandan Sect. We must have strong enough strength to display outside."

"I agree."

Zhuge Wuyou expressed his opinion. The others thought about it and did not have any objections. They were not the kind of people who were afraid of death. It was just that in terms of strength, Han Yi was indeed much better than them. This was an indisputable fact, and Han Yi's analysis was also reasonable.

After discussing the details for a quarter of an hour, the few people dispersed. The other elders called the foundation building elders and began to discuss recruiting sect monks to form an expedition team to go to Shudu.

Zhuge Wuyou asked Han Yi to stay, obviously because he had something to do.

"Brother Han, you have suffered a lot over the years."

Zhuge Wuyou's expression was quite complicated. He watched Han Yi step by step from practicing Qi, to building foundation, to Jindan, and now becoming the mainstay of the sect.

Han Yi shook his head.

"Compared with other brothers and sisters, I am the most relaxed one. The sect is relatively relaxed to me, so I am what I am now."

He said this sincerely. The sect is not a charity, but for Han Yi, that is, when he was in the Qi training period, he did several tasks in the sect. Since he reached the foundation building period, in addition to guarding the blood sea with the team and being required to sit in the Gandu Xuanxian Pavilion, these two tasks are relatively easy.

In addition, the sect did not restrict Han Yi's behavior and allowed him to play freely.

Unlike Han Yi, other cultivators in the sect, such as Lu Li and Wo Changyun in the Qinglong Palace, need to be on duty and spend a certain amount of time managing the sect. Other foundation-building elders need to complete many alchemy tasks.

This is also the conclusion that Han Yi came to after he was promoted to Jindan and learned more about the situation of the sect.

The sect is indeed biased and kind to him.

"I am very pleased that you think so."

After saying this, Zhuge Wuyou's face turned solemn.

"When you arrive in Shudu, you must focus on your own safety and not be distracted by taking care of other cultivators in the sect, including me."

"You are the future and hope of the sect."

"Remember, remember, don't put the cart before the horse and confuse the primary and the secondary."

Han Yi's heart warmed when he heard this.

Seven days later, the team started, and everyone boarded Zhuge Wuyou's Tianxian-level fairy boat and rushed to Shudu.

A little over a month later.

Shudu is in sight.

However, what shocked everyone was that, a few dozen miles away from Shudu, everyone saw that the majestic and magnificent fairy city in the distance had one-third of its area covered by boundless black demonic energy.

This vast demonic energy went straight to the sky, and the top could not be seen.

Demonic cave.

This was a completely formed demonic cave. In this demonic cave, the demons occupied the cultivators' bodies and transformed them into their true bodies. If the demons were not eliminated in time, more and more demon lords would come down, lay down the demonic rituals, expand the demonic cave, and change the rules in the demonic cave. This demonic cave would gradually expand and spread outward. As the demonic cave became larger and larger, the demons that could be attracted became stronger.

Even, the demon gods that could be attracted were equivalent to the powerful gods of the gods.

When everyone looked over, there happened to be hundreds of demons who passed through the demonic energy barrier and escaped from the demonic cave, and began to fight with the cultivators guarding nearby.

Moreover, once a demon is killed, the demon's true body is broken, revealing the demon's true body. If it is not killed immediately, it can invade the cultivator's body, occupy it, and then transform into the demon's true body.

This is the reason why demons are difficult to kill, because to some extent, demons have immortal bodies.

However.

The cultivation world has long summarized a set of methods to trigger demons. There are two most common methods to deal with demons. One is to use thunder attribute spells, or thunder attribute talismans, or thunder attribute formations. Demons are most afraid of thunder attribute attacks, and they can even get twice the result with half the effort.

The second is to use the secret art of the soul, or the soul-destroying talisman. This secret art or talisman targets the soul and is also extremely lethal to the demon's true body.

In the cultivation world.

Demons are generally divided into two categories, demons and demons.

The demons are invisible and intangible. In the world outside the realm, they cover the heavens and the worlds, and are everywhere. They are the power of the soul level.

The demons, on the other hand, focus on the physical body. The demons' physical bodies are so strong that they can be immortal if they are cultivated to the extreme.

The traditional concept since ancient times is that the demons are the descendants of the ancient demons.

However.

Some books record that the Heavenly Demons are the real descendants of the ancient demons, while the demons are the descendants of the ancient gods, and they are the descendants who have gone astray. In essence, the demons should be called pseudo-gods.

Because both the demons and the ancient gods are on the path of physical immortality.

There are many different opinions, but this can only be known if it is traced back to the ancient times, or the real immortals also know the relationship.

The Heavenly Demons here belong to the level of the soul, so they can be completely killed by using the soul secret technique or the talisman that kills the soul.

Han Yi practiced the Nine-Layer Soul Tower and possessed four soul secret techniques. He believed that he was not afraid of the Heavenly Demon, which was one of the reasons why he dared to come.

The immortal boat stopped.

A cultivator holding a token and wearing the Da Gan Demon Extermination Guard armor came forward.

The Demon Extermination Guard and the Demon Slayer Army are both affiliated to the Da Gan Immortal Official Department. These are two specialized departments, one focusing on demon extermination and the other focusing on demon slaying. The Demon Extermination Guard is the first one, and the demons it exterminates include the demon clan and the Heavenly Demon.

Zhuge Wuyou went forward and returned to the Immortal Boat after a moment. Then, he drove the Immortal Boat into the Shudu Immortal Boat Channel, crossed the Ninth Immortal Ring and the Eighth Immortal Ring, and arrived at the Seventh Immortal Ring. He slowly landed on the inner edge of the Seventh Immortal Ring.

The Demon Cave outside Shudu, which seemed to connect the heaven and earth and block out the sun, was actually located in the southern area of ​​the Sixth Immortal Ring to the Fourth Immortal Ring of Shudu. ,

"Two tasks, these are the tasks that all the supporting sects need to complete."

"First, the Demon Extermination Guard has divided the guard area for the Xuandan Sect. If a Heavenly Demon appears, people must be sent to kill the Heavenly Demon back."

"Second, we need to regularly organize sect monks, or cooperate with the demon-killing guards and other sects to mobilize monks above the golden elixir to break into the demon cave, kill the demons, destroy the rituals of the demons, and push the demon cave back."

Zhuge Wuyou summoned all thirty foundation-building elders in front of him and began to assign tasks.

Being recruited to exterminate the Demon Cave this time is a task stipulated by the Daqian Immortal Kingdom and must be completed. You cannot shirk it. If you complete it, you will be rewarded. If you shirk it and settle the accounts after the fall, it will definitely be the end of the sect's destruction.

When a demon cave came hundreds of years ago, a Nascent Soul sect disobeyed the call and was directly attacked by the demon-killing guards at that time. Even the true king of the sect was killed on the spot.

This is the history of blood, and it is also the consensus of all the sects with the power to transform gods in the Yuheng world. Even the three major sects and the Holy Land must abide by it, otherwise once the demon cave expands to a certain limit, it cannot be completely eliminated. This world, Finally, one day, it will be occupied by the demon, and all the monks will become the breeding ground of the demon.

This has precedent in the world of cultivating immortals.

Han Yi stood behind Zhuge Wuyou, looking at the thirty elders with twinkling eyes and a heavy heart.

Talk about it.

The Demon Cave Incident happened when he traveled only four or five years ago. In order not to be drafted, Han Yi also spent a huge amount of money, including thirty middle-grade spiritual stones, to bribe the peak master of Xiaolingxu Peak, and was finally exempted from the expedition. .

The bribery incident was the introduction to many things that happened after that, such as not being able to join the inner peak in advance, such as being noticed by Fu Xuanxu, etc.

However, he did not regret that bribe, but felt happy.

In that expedition, more than half of the people died. Han Yi was only in the middle stage of Qi training at that time. Even if he had a panel and his skills were not bad, if he encountered the little devil in the late stage of Qi training, he would basically be dead.

Han Yi looked at the thirty foundation-building elders who were discussing, and felt heavy in his heart. How many of these thirty people could survive? Is there half of it?

A figure noticed Han Yi's gaze, looked over, and nodded towards Han Yi, who nodded in return.

This figure was carrying a bloody sword, and it was He Fengdi.

Today, He Fengdi is already a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and he is not weak in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. This time, he took the initiative to apply for the tassel. Along with him, there is also Gu Yu, who is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Lu Li and others in the later stage of foundation building.

Han Yi was no stranger to these people.

After a while.

After Zhuge Wuyou finished the arrangement, the elders dispersed and began to allocate a defensive area to the Xuandan Sect at the edge of the Seventh Immortal Ring to deploy defenses.

The area where the Immortal Boat landed was originally a market. However, at this moment, all the monks and mortals in this once prosperous market have been evacuated.

After a while.

Han Yi's eyes flashed, and he saw Zhou Su rushing over from the Eighth Immortal Ring with two other foundation-building monks. Some distance away, Zhou Su and the two elders saluted Han Yi, and Han Yi nodded. Salute.

Less than three hours.

In this area, more than 30 elders, together with 400 inner disciples and a thousand outer disciples, completed many arrangements, laid out vast arrays of lightning attributes, made spiritual talisman traps, and completed the battle formation. Arrangement etc.

Han Yi did not participate in the arrangement. Among the monks who came this time, only some of the elders knew about Han Yi's astonishing combat prowess. The other inner and outer disciples only knew that there was such a supreme elder, and they had no idea about this elder who was rarely in the sect. The Supreme Elder who appeared at the door did not understand him, and occasionally looked at him with awe.

Three days later.

The demonic energy rolled, and a group of heavenly demons passed through the barrier of the demon cave and appeared in the defense area of ​​Xuandan Sect. No need to say anything, the fight was fierce in an instant.

"kill!"

Zhuge Wuyou shouted softly, and a golden alchemy furnace appeared instantly. On the alchemy furnace, a golden dragon was engraved, with natural charm and majesty.

Jade Clearing Pan Dragon Furnace

This is Zhuge Wuyou's magic weapon, and it is also a top-grade magic weapon.

Compared with the Supreme Xuanyuan Bagua Furnace, which was the treasure of the Xuan Dan Sect and was taken away by Yuan Shun and has been promoted to a spiritual treasure, this alchemy furnace is naturally much inferior, but it is already the strongest magic weapon in the Xuan Dan Sect. one.

The Jade Clear Dragon Furnace tilted, and the Jade Clear Divine Fire flowed, rushing towards the Heavenly Demon who came out. To kill the Heavenly Demon, first destroy its true body, and then use soul magic or spiritual talismans aimed at the soul to eliminate the Heavenly Demon's body that has lost its true body. Kill the demon.

This is the most common way.

There are only more than 700 demons in this group of demons. Among them, there are more than 20 demons exuding the aura of the big demon, three demons exuding the aura of the demon king, and the others are all small demons.

The Yuqing Divine Fire has begun to take shape, flowing through the void, rushing towards the three demons exuding the aura of the demon king. However, one of the demon kings waved his hand gently, and the demonic energy surged, rushing towards them. Yuqing Divine Fire blocked it, and then rushed towards Zhuge Wuyou with a ferocious smile.

In his opinion, these monks only had the aura of Zhuge Wuyou and were worthy of his effort.

The demon is extremely fast and takes over the body of the monk. The demon who possesses the true body of the demon also has a great advantage in this regard.

but.

When he started up and rushed toward Zhuge Wuyou with terrifying demonic energy, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. With the speed of his demon, he could barely react, turned slightly sideways, and with a flash of golden light, he The other two demon kings that followed him passed by.

Two heads exuding monstrous demonic energy soared into the sky.

but.

This demon king just sneered. His demon body was killed. There happened to be two human monks who were strong enough for them to possess. In this way, they also...

No, the demon king suddenly widened his tiger eyes, because as the golden sword light flashed, the demon aura of his two companions disappeared on the spot.

What happened?

He was tense all over, but the next moment, his vision was rolling rapidly. As his vision rolled, he also felt a hand pressing on his head and body.

Seeking death.

The other party was absolutely seeking death. If his body escaped, he could directly invade the other party's body, destroy the other party's soul, and completely occupy his body.

However.

As soon as this thought came up, a destructive force blasted into his body, completely destroying his proud demon body, and something even weirder than the demon flashed by.

For the demon, death was not painful. The next moment, his consciousness darkened and he fell completely.

And in the outside world.

A moment ago, when Zhuge Wuyou sacrificed the Jade Clear Panlong Furnace and the Jade Clear Divine Fire tilted down.

Han Yi had already put his fingers together and two swords leaped up from behind him, one golden Wuhen Sword, which was obtained from Tuoba Tu, and the other white long sword emitting a very cold aura, the Tianhan Sword.

These two long swords are both mid-grade magic weapons, which are just right for Han Yi to use.

First, the Wuhen Sword was dodged by the Sky Demon King in front, but Wuhen swept across and killed two Sky Demon Kings in an instant, and the Tianhan Sword followed closely behind, and then killed the third Sky Demon King.

However.

Han Yi only attached the Soul-Severing Secret Technique to the Wuhen Sword, and when he killed the Sky Demon's true body, he directly destroyed its Sky Demon body.

As for the third Sky Demon King, which was the strongest among the three, Han Yi did not kill him with the Soul-Severing Secret Technique, but used the Soul-Searching Secret Technique.

He wanted to spy on what was going on in this devil's cave so that he could make plans for the next step.
