Chapter 1324 Demon Soul Banner

"It is fate that you can come to Hell Valley after many obstacles. Now you have got what you want. Now that the matter is over, I can concentrate on retreating and breaking through the realm. So I will not keep you here. You can leave Hell Valley through this teleportation array and avoid going through those dangerous places again."

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and white runes immediately appeared on the wall behind him. The runes emitted a white spiritual light. After a while, the original wall disappeared without a trace, and a teleportation array replaced it.

Seeing that the old man had ordered him to leave and he had got what he wanted, Xiao Lin did not want to stay any longer. He stood up and bowed to the old man.

"Then I'll take my leave." After speaking, Xiao Lin walked towards the teleportation array. As his body entered the white light, the white light exploded and he immediately disappeared without a trace.

As Xiao Lin left, the white spiritual light also subsided again, revealing the originally dark wall again.

The white-haired old man stood up, looked at the wall, and whispered to himself: "This boy has such accomplishments at such a young age, and he is bold and careful, and he is cautious and thorough. He can be called a genius among the human race. The human race has been in decline for a long time. I hope this boy can bring a glimmer of hope to the declining human race. This is all I can do."

After saying this, the figure of the white-haired old man slowly faded and then disappeared.

......

On the empty sea surface, with a flash of white light, Xiao Lin's figure emerged.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar sea surface around him, Xiao Lin immediately began to locate the direction. When he confirmed his approximate position, he was also a little surprised. At this moment, he had left the Hell Valley for millions of miles. Xiao Lin did not expect that a magic array teleportation array would have such amazing power and be able to teleport such a long distance.

Although the trip to Hell Valley was a bit bumpy and dangerous for Xiao Lin, the result was still very satisfactory to him. Although he did not get a finished soul weapon, he got many methods of refining middle and high-level soul weapons and magic weapons, especially the book [Eighteen Methods of Immortal Treasure Sublimation], which was a blessing from heaven for him.

With the improvement of his realm, the several magic weapons he refined were indeed gradually unable to keep up with his pace in terms of grade. Xiao Lin had also tried to find some ways to improve the grade of magic weapons. The innate nine qi did have the effect of improving the grade of magic weapons, but the speed was very slow and there was a high probability of failure. Moreover, as the grade of the magic weapon increased, the speed and failure probability would also increase significantly.

After a little thought, Xiao Lin turned into a dark green rainbow and shot towards the sea in the distance. After flashing a few times, he disappeared between the clouds and the sky.

After flying for several days, Xiao Lin stopped and looked at a piece of island in front of him. There were dozens of islands in this area, large and small, scattered on the sea.

Xiao Lin's eyes were on the largest island in the distance. The island was about two or three hundred miles in radius. The most important thing was that a city of dozens of miles was built on the island, and at the gate of the city, there were often figures of immortal cultivators flying and falling.

This was obviously also an immortal city, but the scale of this immortal city was a little pitiful, and there was a group of black clouds gathering above the city, so he couldn't see the situation in the city clearly.

Xiao Lin passed by by chance, so he naturally wanted to go down and take a look. He pressed the escape light and shot towards the gate of the city.

Although this city was not big, it was also set up with a no-fly ban, and on the surrounding walls, there were dense formation flags, and obviously there were also extremely powerful formations waiting to be unleashed.

When he landed at the gate of the city, Xiao Lin immediately saw the guards at the gate of the city. They were actually two demons. These two demons looked very strange, with a short and thick body and six arms. The ends of the arms were not five fingers, but two large pincers. The top two arms had the largest pincers, and the four below seemed to be just decorations.

The pliers held a spear, which was made of fine iron and had some weight. The key point was that it actually had a shrimp head.

Xiao Lin immediately showed a surprised expression. The realm of these guards was naturally clear in Xiao Lin's eyes. They were all in the late stage of foundation building, and their appearance seemed to be something that only the transformed demons could do.

This was a bit strange.

These guards were obviously from the demons, and they seemed to have transformed. Although they still showed most of the demon characteristics, their realm was obviously not at the level of transformation.

It was the first time that Xiao Lin saw such a strange scene, and he couldn't help but be full of surprise.

Outside the city, most of the people coming and going were genuine transformed demons. Of course, there were also a few cultivators of other races. These guards were also respectful. After collecting the entry fee, they nodded and bowed, with smiles on their faces.

That look was so humble.

Although Xiao Lin was suspicious, he still walked towards the city gate. When he arrived at the city gate, the shrimp-headed guards were slightly stunned when they saw Xiao Lin's appearance. It seemed that they had not seen a human for a long time.

However, the huge spiritual pressure that Xiao Lin inadvertently revealed made these shrimp-headed guards tremble with fear. Although they had shrimp heads, they were not stupid at all.

The leading shrimp guard immediately bowed his body, saluted, and then said: "Senior, are you going to enter our [Lobster City?]."

"Lobster City?" Xiao Lin heard this and laughed in his heart. The guard in front of him, after being said like this, really looked a bit like a lobster.

Xiao Lin nodded, but his expression was a little stern, and he said: "I am naturally here to enter the city, am I here to visit the city gate?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Xiao Lin's words, the lobster guard was immediately startled and hurriedly smiled and said: "Senior, you misunderstood, I naturally don't mean that, but anyone who wants to enter our Lobster City, the demon race needs to pay one medium-grade spirit stone, and the outsiders need to pay ten medium-grade spirit stones."

Ten medium-grade spirit stones are indeed a bit high for the entrance fee, but Xiao Lin didn't care. He directly threw ten medium-grade spirit stones to the shrimp guard, and then walked into the city in a swagger.

As soon as he entered the city, Xiao Lin smelled a strong fishy smell.

Originally in the sky, due to the obstruction of black clouds, Xiao Lin did not use his spiritual eyes to check. Now that he came in, he found that there were many strange monsters walking on the street.

The realms of these monsters were not high, most of them were in the foundation-building stage, and a few had reached the golden elixir stage.

The monster aura emanating from their bodies carried a strong fishy smell, which obviously meant that their cultivation was not good enough and their body odor had not been eliminated.

Xiao Lin was also a little strange in his heart. According to reason, these monsters in front of him could not be called monsters at all, but should be called monster beasts.

Monster beasts are a general term for monsters that have not reached the emperor level and have not completed their transformation.

Although the monsters in this lobster city have transformed, they are obviously different from the monsters that have reached the emperor level and completed their transformation. These monsters gave Xiao Lin the feeling that they were forced to transform through some secret method, thus possessing some characteristics of the human race. In fact, they are still a group of monsters in essence.

Because their eyes looking at Xiao Lin were full of greed and bloodthirstiness. If they hadn't been concerned about the spiritual pressure on Xiao Lin that made them feel anxious, they would have rushed over long ago.

Xiao Lin was strolling in the city and saw that most of the items sold in the city were some strange materials, of course, most of them were food.

Xiao Lin was not wrong. Many of them were the flesh and blood of monsters, and they were clearly marked with prices. In addition, there were many jade bottles that sealed the spirits of monsters.

It was the first time that Xiao Lin saw such a scene. At this moment, he also understood that the fishy smell in the city was probably related to the flesh and blood sold.

In addition, there were some inns where the food of the monsters was also bright red flesh and blood. When they ate, blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, which made Xiao Lin feel a little nauseous.

The monsters here were still in the most primitive state of survival. At the same time, Xiao Lin was a little surprised that these monsters had obviously not yet been truly civilized, but they entered this city to survive, just like the mortal society of the human race.

As for the demons, before they were civilized, there was no need to buy blood food, as there were enough demon beasts in the sea.

However, when Xiao Lin saw the appearance of those demons, they seemed to enjoy the blood food very much, and they were not hungry at all. All this was a little unusual.

Xiao Lin frowned slightly, and his huge divine consciousness spread out instantly. Everything in the city of dozens of miles in size was instantly reflected in his mind.

After a moment, Xiao Lin's face condensed, and a dark green spiritual light flashed under his feet. In a slight shake, Xiao Lin's body had turned into a phantom and slowly disappeared.

On a square of several acres in the center of the city, there stood a black flag that was a hundred feet in size. On the flag, there were clusters of black air. The black air condensed and did not disperse, rushing towards the void, forming a huge black cloud above the city.

Xiao Lin showed a hesitant expression on his face, staring at the black flag and observing it carefully.

"Demon Soul Banner?"

After observing for a long time, Xiao Lin said to himself in confusion. The Demon Soul Banner is a magical weapon that the demon cultivators used to sacrifice and refine by means of the magic way. This magical weapon has a perverted feature, that is, the more demon beast spirits it devours and absorbs, the greater its power. As long as there are enough demon beast spirits, the power of the Demon Soul Banner can even be continuously improved, and it is not impossible to reach the power of a high-level holy weapon.

Xiao Lin showed a trace of realization on his face.

"Could it be that this city is not an immortal city at all, but a trap set by the immortal cultivators to attract those demon cultivators to enter this place, and then nourish their spirits through blood food, and then harvest them when the time comes to use them to sacrifice the demon soul banner."

After figuring this out, Xiao Lin also felt a chill down his spine. He didn't know who had such a big hand. You know, doing so will definitely offend the demon clan. Although most of the demon beasts in the city are low-level demon beasts, they are also the foundation of the demon clan. The demon clan has always spared no effort to protect the middle and low-level demon beasts.

And this person actually moved the soil on the Tai Sui's head. Either he didn't know whether he lived or died, or he had extremely powerful means.

Xiao Lin didn't want to care about this matter. He couldn't be sure of the identity of the owner of this demon soul banner. If it was a high-level or even top-level cultivator, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin turned to go outside the city, intending to leave.

But he had just flown for a few miles when he felt a shock under his feet. Then, countless shadows suddenly appeared in the dark clouds above the void. For a moment, there were gusts of cold wind, and the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling were endless.

Almost in an instant, the dark clouds covered the sky above the entire city. The gusts of cold wind blew, making many monsters feel that their bones were blown crisp by the wind.

Xiao Lin didn't feel anything big, but the monsters around him, after being blown by the cold wind, brought out pale green shadows from their bodies, which were their spirits.

Xiao Lin immediately understood that this was the activation of the Monster Soul Banner. Obviously, the Monster Soul Banner would activate itself every once in a while to devour the spirits of the monsters entering the city. This method of collecting spirits was very strange.

Xiao Lin had seen a demon monk holding a similar demon soul flag, which could directly destroy a mortal city and absorb all the spirits of the mortals in the city. This demon soul flag was even more powerful. It actually stood directly in the city, waiting for the demons to take the bait. The bodies of the demons whose spirits were absorbed naturally became new flesh and blood, and continued to attract other demons to come.

Moreover, Xiao Lin felt vaguely that there seemed to be some secrets in this city, because although these demons were not very intelligent, they were not fools. If they knew the dangers in this city, they would definitely not come one after another.

"Demon transformation grass?" Xiao Lin finally found the answer. Through the power of his spiritual consciousness, he saw many demon transformation grasses in some inconspicuous corners of this city. Moreover, there were powerful restrictions around these demon transformation grasses. Many monsters died under the restrictions, and the surrounding flesh and blood were also taken out and sold by many low-level demons.

Moreover, around the demon-transforming grass, a kind of spiritual grass was planted, which was blood-red in color. Xiao Lin could tell the origin of this spiritual grass at a glance.

"The enchanting grass?"

Xiao Lin finally understood why these low-level demons came one after another. The demon-transforming grass could attract the demons, while the enchanting grass could create an illusion, making these demons lost in the illusion.

Perhaps in their eyes, the fairy city in front of them was selling all kinds of rare treasures and delicious food, and they themselves successfully transformed and became a demon cultivator.

Of course, all this was a dream, and the final outcome was that their spirits were devoured, and hundreds of years of cultivation were destroyed.

Such things, in the world of cultivating immortals, can be regarded as crooked ways. Wantonly killing low-level creatures is an act against heaven. Therefore, in Xiao Lin's opinion, the owner of this demon soul flag is definitely not a good person, and most likely a demon cultivator.

Although Xiao Lin understood the purpose of this city, he did not intend to intervene. Going against the will of heaven and killing lives might increase his own karma and bring about heavenly punishment, but there would be no merit or reward for doing good deeds. Moreover, Xiao Lin did not understand the strength of the owner of the Demon Soul Banner, and if he acted rashly, he might bring about fatal disaster.
