Chapter 185: The Ancient Demon's Might! Xuantian Immortal Vine!
As a force located in the Wanling Mountains, the first force that the ancient demon encountered when he rushed out of the Wanling Mountains was naturally the Loose Cultivators Guild.
After receiving the news from a group of cultivators, the Loose Cultivators Association immediately took action.
Xin Ruyin first activated and set up several ancient formations.
After receiving the news, Tianhen Laoguai and Wei Wuya, the two temporary workers in the Tiannan region who were guarding the headquarters, also quickly rushed to Dongyu City.
In addition, there are many mid-Nascent Soul cultivators such as Xue Lan, Su Feiyan, Wang Ziling, Qing Wen and others who are helping in the battle.
However, even so, it was too difficult for them to deal with two great cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage at the same time. The temporary worker, the Great Elder Suanni Beast, on the Chaos Star Sea side was already in seclusion preparing to break through to the God Transformation stage, so he could not receive any news from this side.
However, the other one was not a temporary level 10 Suan Ni beast. The Suan Ni King came to support with the golden thunder bamboo magic weapon.
The two temporary workers from Mulan Grassland and Tianlan Grassland also quickly came to provide support after receiving the news.
A total of seven great monk-level combat forces were gathered, plus a puppet in the late Nascent Soul stage and a mature flying purple-striped scorpion, and only then was the arrogance of the ancient demon suppressed.
The two ancient demons were seriously injured.
However, just when the Loose Cultivators' Guild was preparing to gather everyone's strength to kill the two ancient demons, a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul broke a corner of the formation and the three of them worked together to perform some extremely miraculous escape technique and escaped.
And that demon cultivator at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm was Qin Gang, who had disappeared from the Loose Cultivator Union for a very long time!
Two ancient demons and a demon cultivator escaped from Dongyu City.
During this period, the independent cultivators would like to take advantage of the weakness of the three demons and gather all the cultivators to eliminate the three demons together.
Mulan and Tianlan's two temporary workers also had to go back to gather their own tribesmen to guard against the ancient demon, so there were not enough people.
However, all the cultivators in Tiannan believed that this kind of monster could not survive in the human world for long and would return to the other world.
Therefore, no one took the "Demon Extermination Order" of the Loose Cultivators' Union seriously, and everyone seemed to be indifferent, thinking that the ancient demon would not find them anyway.
Everyone declined with the excuse that they were busy.
Among them are especially the monks of the Tiandao League!
The Tiandao League was originally a loose alliance, and even the leaders Long Han and Feng Bing could not control it, let alone the independent cultivators' union which was far away from the emperor.
The number of people in the Loose Cultivators' Guild is simply too small. It is extremely difficult for such a small number of people to even find the trace of the ancient demon. Even if they find it, they will just be sent to deliver the food.
Seeing these people, the monks of Tiannan looked as if they did not care.
The Loose Cultivators' Union angrily scolded the Tiannan Cultivators, "You are such a coward, not worthy of being consulted!"
He simply ignored the matter and began to withdraw his forces to protect the important ancient teleportation array.
After discovering that the loose cultivators' union did not intervene in the matter, the demons began to attack high-level cultivators everywhere with impunity, and devoured the cultivators' Nascent Souls to restore their vitality.
In just a few years, six or seven Nascent Soul cultivators and dozens of Jindan cultivators have fallen into his hands one after another, but he still shows no sign of returning.
It was only then that the other cultivators realized that this demon had somehow managed to stay in this world for a long time.
The Jinguan Temple in Dongyu Kingdom was attacked by an ancient demon.
The Jinguan Temple in Dongyu Kingdom is the only Buddhist force in the entire Tiannan region. Buddhism has always been a very exclusive sect. When the Loose Practitioners' Union took over Dongyu Kingdom, Master Yuanjun saw that the Loose Practitioners' Union was so powerful that he had no choice but to join.
However, after joining, it has always turned a deaf ear to the orders of the Loose Practitioners' Union. The last time the Loose Practitioners' Union called on all practitioners to fight demons, Jinguang Temple, as a Buddhist force, did not respond to the call. Instead, it closed the gate of the mountain, as if everyone was minding their own business.
All I can say is that the world has changed.
Confucianism cannot defend the Way, and Buddhism cannot suppress the devil.
This time, Jinguang Temple was attacked and Master Yuanjun was devoured.
The reason why the ancient demon attacked here will be revealed by Taizhen Gate a long time later.
At that time, Taizhen Sect discovered that it was actually a branch of Zhenji Sect of Dajin, with the responsibility of protection, while Jinguang Temple was a branch of Leiyin Temple, and also had the responsibility of guarding the seal.
The body of the ancient demon is also sealed in their Jinguan Temple.
However, the world has changed and people's hearts have changed. They have long forgotten their responsibilities.
Once upon a time, Jinguang Temple was one of the most powerful forces in Tiannan.
As the existence guarding the seal of the ancient demon, at that time their sect not only had a great cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage, but also a relic left by a Buddhist cultivator who had attained deity status as the treasure of the temple.
Unfortunately, due to a civil strife ten thousand years ago, precious treasures were lost, and the great monk passed away at an inexplicable speed. Not only did the surrounding forces not help, but they also set their sights on the relics left behind by the great monk after his death. The Jinguang Temple was besieged by many forces and eventually ended up in its current state.
Perhaps this is the reason why Jinguan Temple did not respond to the call of the Free Cultivators' Union.
After the ancient demon's body was taken out from the Jinguang Temple, the power of the Blood Flame Main Soul surged again.
He originally wanted to take revenge on the Loose Cultivators' Union, but after being persuaded by the ancient demon transformed by Qin Gang, he calmed down and could not win.
Afterwards, the three demons began to move towards the north. Many forces of the Tiandao League were attacked. Several Nascent Soul and Core Forming cultivators were devoured, but few Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators died.
The ancient demon didn't even look at the existence of foundation building and Qi refining. It was a waste of energy and he was too lazy to pay any attention to them.
He has always been thinking about hunting down Nascent Soul cultivators to restore his vitality.
When the situation is critical, you know you are in a hurry; when snot falls from your mouth, you know you are careful!
The countries of the Tiandao League hurriedly asked for help from the Luanming Sect, Long Han and Feng Bing.
It was very difficult for Long Han and Feng Bing to get help from these comrades.
The two of them are not enough to deliver food to the three ancient demons.
After all, according to the intelligence, the cultivation level of one of the ancient demons has recovered and reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
The Tiandao Alliance alone is no match for the opponent, so they can only seek help from the Loose Cultivators' Union!
Long Han and Feng Bing cursed these short-sighted guys a hundred times in their hearts!
When the Loose Cultivators' Union issued the Demon-Exorcism Order before, everyone pretended not to hear it. The couple stepped forward to persuade them, but no one paid attention to them. Now they are asking them to go to the Loose Cultivators' Union to embarrass themselves again?
Long Han and Feng Bing became angrier the more they thought about it, but now was an urgent matter and this was not the time to worry about it.
The ancient demons are attacking more and more frequently in Tiannan, and their purpose is very strong! It is no longer limited to the sects and high-level cultivators, but even some immortal cultivation families and small sects have been patronized.
These family sects are actually the forces that have hidden magic weapons or are rumored to have the possibility of possessing magic weapons.
The situation was extremely urgent. Master Zhiyang and Old Demon Hehuan, who were in seclusion recovering from their injuries, were alarmed and immediately came out to Dongyu Country and Dongyu City.
The three ancient demons are so arrogant and have extraordinary fighting power. Now only Li Mufeng can be their opponent.
But unfortunately, Li Mufeng was in seclusion at this critical time to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, so he could not go into battle.
"Earlier, the ancient demon from my Loose Cultivators Guild was severely injured, and I called on you all to fight the demon. But unfortunately, no one takes our Loose Cultivators Guild seriously. Now, you should solve this trouble by yourselves."
Tianhen said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, and then he looked at Zhiyang Shangren and Hehuan Lao Mo. "You two, after all, this is just a trouble you caused. I, the Loose Cultivator Association, have already repeatedly warned you not to set foot in the Wanling Mountains and Zhuimo Valley again, right?"
"But you refused to listen! You even built a teleportation array and teleported in on purpose."
"Earlier, when our guild wanted to build an ancient teleportation array and needed materials, you said, 'Oh no, no more.'"
"Fellow Daoist Tianhen, now is not the time to investigate who is responsible. The most urgent task now is to deal with those three ancient demons first." Long Han also looked at Master Zhiyang and Old Demon Hehuan with reproach. Why did you go to explore Lingmiao Garden for no reason?
Now we've caused a big trouble, and we have to bear the consequences together with you!
Hearing the sarcasm from old monster Tianhen, Master Zhiyang and old demon Hehuan smiled bitterly helplessly.
This matter is indeed their fault.
But now we should deal with those three ancient demons first.
Master Zhiyang, Long Han and the old demon Hehuan each took out a box.
"Fellow Daoist Tianhen, this is a Xuantian Immortal Vine that we harvested from an ancient cultivator's cave a while ago, but it had already withered when we found it. At that time, we prepared the Spirit Eye Tree Alcohol to try to revive it, but unfortunately we failed."
"This is our apology."
"Xuantian Immortal Vine?" Old Monster Tianhen took it and took a look at the withered yellow roots. He had heard of this matter before.
The so-called fairy vine is just a general term. Any vine-like spiritual root species that are of great use can be called fairy vine in this world.
But the Xuantian Immortal Vine is different.
Only a few of the most ancient vine-like spiritual roots are qualified to have the word "Xuantian" added before the immortal vine.
All of these immortal vines are ancient spiritual roots that appeared when a certain world was created and chaos was born. No matter whether the spiritual flowers they bloom or the spiritual fruits they bear, they all have incredible magical powers that can ignore the laws of heaven and earth in this world.
It is a truly heaven-defying existence!
But what kinds of Xuantian Immortal Vine there are, and what kind of great magical powers they have, have long been lost over the long years, and now no one can identify them.
"Everyone, you are not planning to get something for nothing, right? Let's not talk about whether this Xiantian Immortal Vine can be saved. Even if it can be saved, it is still unknown when it will bloom and bear fruit. Even if it blooms and bears fruit once every 100,000 years, it is not surprising for this Xuantian Immortal Vine."
Old Monster Tianhen said after reading it.
Master Zhiyang, Old Demon Hehuan, Long Han and Feng Bing also knew that they would not be able to invite the other party just by offering them something they could only look at but not eat.
But they are really cheapskates. Why didn’t they agree to it before?
If those three ancient demons had been dealt with, this wouldn't have happened!
Afterwards, Master Zhiyang and Old Demon Hehuan took out several spiritual medicines obtained from the ancient monk’s cave, all of which were what Li Mufeng needed.
In addition, the three forces also promised to hand over a huge amount of resources to the Loose Cultivators' Union to build an ancient teleportation array, and will also help the Loose Cultivators' Union establish branches in various countries.
In response to this, the Association of Casual Cultivators finally gave in.
With the Loose Cultivators' Union as the leader, a powerful demon-hunting team was formed.
The two temporary workers in the Tiannan region, the old monster Tianhen, Wei Wuya, as well as the great elder of the Demonic Path, the old demon Hehuan, the great elder of the Righteous Path Alliance, the Master Zhiyang, plus the two great elders of the Tiandao Alliance, Long Han and Feng Bing, plus the late Nascent Soul puppet that the Loose Cultivators' Union can control, a total of six great cultivator-level combat forces.
In addition to these six great monk-level fighters, there are nearly twenty fighters in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Among them are Mr. Jin Jian from the Righteous Alliance, True Lord Tiansha from the Demonic Tiansha Sect, Old Monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect, the independent cultivator Zi Ri San Ren, Fairy Yun Xue Bai Wen and other powerful mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, this demon was extremely cunning and did not fight the demon-killing team head-on. Instead, it specifically attacked lone monks and even attacked the Mulan people.
As a result, the Mulan people specially sent a group of great masters to join the demon-slaying team.
The Nine-Nation Alliance, the Moon-Shattering Sect.
The ancient demon that fled here attacked this place.
The female cultivator from the Zhou family who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage was now breathing in less and breathing out more, and her Nascent Soul had also been taken away by the ancient demon.
The magic weapon Blood Demon Sword naturally fell into the hands of the ancient demon.
The Blood Flame Soul looked at the fleeing monks of the Yanyue Sect around him and wanted to kill them.
However, just as he stretched out his hand, Qin Gang grabbed it and said, "Save some energy, there is still a big battle to fight later!"
"Xuehun, you guys didn't let us kill this and that along the way. Are you confused? Or are you scared by those human monks?!"
The Blood Flame Soul said with some dissatisfaction that along the way, the other party kept trying to stop him from killing.
"I just don't want to waste all this energy. I don't want you to be short of one person before the ultimate goal is achieved. It will take me a long time to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage in my current state. If I didn't rely on your strength, I wouldn't bother to care about you."
Qin Gang curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"Hehe, Blood Soul, I really didn't expect that you would choose to merge with a human." The Blood Flame Main Soul looked at Qin Gang and said with some contempt.
"Do you think I want this? If you had gone against that old bald donkey back then, it is not certain whether you could survive like me." Qin Gang ignored the other party's ridicule and said calmly.
"Yeah, those old bald donkeys are really disgusting." The Blood Flame Main Soul was thinking about something, and a heavy look appeared on his face.
"Let's go quickly, the other party is almost catching up." Qin Gang looked in a certain direction and continued to fly towards the south.
"Escape again? How long will this escape last?" The Blood Flame Soul said with some dissatisfaction.
"Hehe - if you're itching for trouble, I'll leave the tough battle ahead to you." Hearing the complaints of the Blood Flame Soul, Qin Gang looked forward coldly, without even moving his eyelids, and said meaningfully.
The Blood Flame Main Soul also knew what he meant, and followed behind him silently, flying away while gathering strength.
Afterwards they fled towards Tianlan Grassland.
However, at this time, the benefits of the ancient teleportation array became apparent.
Brothers Tiannan and Mulan were chasing from behind, while Brother Tianlan had already prepared an encirclement in front.
There was a fierce battle between the Tuwu people, the Mulan people, the Tiannan monks, and the three ancient demons.
The battle was so fierce that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Other monks were unable to intervene. It is said that the surrounding mountains were flattened.
But the final result was still unsatisfactory. The three ancient demons escaped with serious injuries.
The opponent's escape technique was a very rare blood escape technique, and the cultivators on Tiannan's side had no way to restrain it.
The ancient demon fled to the Tianlan grassland, where he stirred up some trouble. In the end, the two sides fought again, and he finally fled into Dajin. The incident was finally resolved.
After escaping into Dajin, the ancient demons were not as high-profile as they were in Tiannan, Mulan Grassland, and Tianlan Grassland. Instead, they had lost news of them, and there was no news of any cultivators being killed by the ancient demons there.
The three ancient demons seemed to have evaporated just like that.
But this is also a very normal thing. After all, the strength of the immortal cultivation world in Tianmulan Grassland and Tianlan Grassland cannot be compared with that of Dajin at all.
Moreover, it is said that there are cultivators who have reached the state of spiritual transformation in Dajin. Now the three ancient demons are seriously injured. Even if they want to stir up the situation, they must recover from their injuries first.
Although the ancient demon had left, the problems it left for Tiannan were far more than just slaughtering some monks.
