This is the fact. With the strength displayed by Qi Yuan, cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Stage are no match for him at all. Even if they possess treasures like the Tongtian Lingbao, they will still lose more than they win.
Just relying on the opponent's magical powers and the three ancient ferocious beasts, they are qualified enough to run rampant in the human world, not to mention that they have more than a dozen puppets that are comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators.
Unless the ten major sects of Dajin come out in full force, the two sides will fight until rivers of blood flow and the sun and moon lose their light, and the outcome will be known to the end.
However, in order to find out the exact location of the space crack in Xiaoji Palace, Che Laoyao spared no expense in hiring secret spies to find out the situation in the early years, so he knew that the space crack was inside the Xu Ling Palace.
In that case, Old Demon Che would naturally know that Qi Yuan was a guest in Xiaoji Palace. Just in case, why would he only send one incarnation?
The deployment of the true body is of no small importance. Che Laoyao has not told this news to anyone. Once the news leaks out, it will easily cause huge fluctuations.
It is better to act at the right time, decide the outcome in one fell swoop, and get things done quickly.
Che Laoyao is extremely cunning. Not only did he hide the Ice Phoenix from her, he also deliberately concealed certain information. He even did not fully trust the Blue-backed Wolf, the deputy valley master.
On the surface, he followed the planned steps and only sent an incarnation of the late Nascent Soul stage to attack Xiaoji Palace. But in fact, his real body had already left the Ten Thousand Demons Valley and was hiding near Beiming Island.
As I said, in order to ascend to the spiritual world, Che Laoyao would do anything, even at any cost.
"I guess these two are the master and deputy master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley." Qi Yuan shifted his gaze from Bing Feng to the old man and the young child.
Qi Yuan knew every detail of the two of them, even the Wan Yao Banner, a replica of the Tongtian Lingbao, that Che Lao Yao was carrying.
Although this treasure is an imitation, its power far exceeds that of ordinary imitations of spiritual treasures, giving it a feeling of being better than the original.
The voice just fell.
The group of Nascent Soul cultivators from Xiaoji Palace all showed expressions of horror, looked at the child, and unconsciously took two steps back.
Who in the entire Dajin doesn’t know that the master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley is the old demon Che who is in the Spirit Transformation Stage?
Now Qi Yuan told them that Old Demon Che was here, and suddenly they felt a chill in their souls.
"You must be Qi Yuan, right? If you can stand aside and watch what happened today, I will reward you handsomely afterwards. Besides, I have some connection with Princess Linglong. It seems that you have some connection with the Ten Thousand Demons Valley."
Although the incarnation of Che Laoyao had the appearance of a boy, his tone was unusually low.
Upon hearing this, the dry blue flame on Master Hanli's body flickered and then calmed down.
There is a Qianlan Ding left in the Xiaoji Palace inheritance, so the Qianlan Flame is not unique to the Xutian Ding. This is also the reason why Qi Yuan did not rashly use the Xutian Ding to prevent being keenly detected by Master Hanli.
Master Hanli was a man of great skill and courage, and he always stayed around Qi Yuan, but the other Nascent Soul cultivators did not dare to take the risk and deliberately kept a distance from him.
Qi Yuan noticed the movement around him and smiled, "Brother Dao's method of sowing discord is indeed good, but I have another identity, that is, the guest elder of Taiyi Sect."
After saying that, he took out a dark golden token from the storage bag with one hand. The front was engraved with the font of Taiyi Sect, and the back was the description of the relevant position.
The most important thing is that the dark golden token exudes a unique Taoist charm, which confirms that what Qi Yuan said is correct.
The Taiyi Sect has definitely put a lot of effort into anti-counterfeiting. It is difficult for cultivators in the human world to simulate its Taoist rhyme, which effectively maintains the dignity of the Taiyi Sect.
"Since Fellow Daoist Qi is a guest elder of Taiyi Sect, I naturally won't harbor any doubts." Master Hanli's eyes flashed and he said solemnly.
He may not believe Qi Yuan, but he has a certain trust in Taiyi Sect. It is impossible for the righteous and the demon clan to walk together so closely unless a catastrophe is about to happen in the human world.
With Master Hanli's confident words, the Nascent Soul cultivators in Xiaoji Palace felt much more at ease.
When Che Laoyao saw that his strategy of division failed, he just snorted coldly, then winked at Qingbei Canglang, telling his men to be ready to attack Xiaoji Palace at any time.
He wanted to disrupt things and take advantage of the situation to break in.
In addition, Che Laoyao was also worried about Bingfeng, fearing that she would suddenly turn against him, so he could not let the situation calm down.
Instead, he wanted to make the situation bigger so that no one would have time to think about the problem. Most importantly, he wanted to take the Ice Phoenix with him and attack the Void Spirit Palace.
This woman has the confidence to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage at any time, and can naturally display some of the magical powers of the early Spirit Transformation Stage. That power cannot be released by a serious late Nascent Soul cultivator.
"All the tribesmen, listen to my orders and attack Xiaoji Palace."
Suddenly, the Blue-backed Wolf shouted an order, which instantly reached the ears of everyone present.
After hearing this, Bing Feng's expression suddenly changed. She wanted to ask Qi Yuan about the matter of the space node, but now Wan Yao Valley acted on its own, which directly interrupted her thoughts.
How to say it, compared to Qi Yuan, she trusts the Ten Thousand Demons Valley more and will definitely not turn against Che Laoyao on the spot.
As a result of the Ice Sea Lord's delay, all the low-level monsters below rioted and once again fought with the disciples of Xiaoji Palace. No monster could stay there safely.
Seeing their own disciples in danger, how could the high-level monks of Xiaoji Palace sit idly by and watch? They all controlled their magic weapons to deal with the situation.
The monster in the transformation stage here discovered that a Nascent Soul cultivator rushed in and killed his clansmen at will. His eyes turned bloodshot and he flew out in anger.
The situation continued in this way, leaving no time to call a halt.
The corners of Che Laoyao's mouth slightly raised. The overall situation was under his control. He looked at Qi Yuan again and said coldly: "I will say it again, Fellow Daoist Qi, are you willing to leave?"
But before Qi Yuan could speak, the old monk Mojiu jumped out from the crowd and said flatteringly: "Master Che, I am willing to leave, please give me a way out."
"Master Mojiu?" Master Hanli's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and wisps of terrifying murderous intent emerged from his head.
Master Mojiu adjusted his expression and said, "It is true that my friendship with my fellow Taoist master has lasted for hundreds of years, but I don't think Xiaoji Palace can withstand the attack of the demon clan."
He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Master Mojiu has been studying Buddhism for many years but his brain has not become stupid.
Afterwards, he was targeted by a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage and he couldn't escape even if he had wings.
At this time, green light shone in the sky and instantly penetrated from behind Master Mojiu. The tremendous magic power shattered his Nascent Soul, and he was killed by a sneak attack.
Master Mojiu has reached the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, so his agility should be pretty good. His spiritual sense will allow him to detect danger in advance and dodge away.
However, the power of that green light was also that of a mid-Nascent Soul stage, and that person was even very close to Master Mojiu, leaving him no chance to react.
Mrs. Long’s Liucui Sect is a branch of Xiaoji Palace, which is specially used to do dirty work that is inconvenient to do.
Logically speaking, Master Mojiu knew Madam Long's background and was on guard against her, but Madam Long acted decisively, so he was able to kill the old monk with a single full-strength attack.
When Master Mojiu died, his body collapsed with a bang, and the storage bag hanging around his waist was very eye-catching. Qi Yuan's eyes moved, thinking about the Immortal Destroying Pearl in his heart, but his steps remained motionless, because Che Laoyao was about to take action.
On the other side, Che Laoyao opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of black gas, which turned into a gray banner and appeared in front of him.
The small banner was only five or six inches in size and was shrouded in a gray light. The banner, which was obviously the size of a palm, was filled with demonic shadows, as if countless demons and monsters were scattered all over the banner. However, the banner was silent and no strange sounds came from it.
"The Banner of Ten Thousand Demons?" Bing Feng said with a slight movement of her expression.
She had heard of the fame of this banner a long time ago, but today was the first time she saw it.
The Ten Thousand Demons Banner has been soaked in the boundless demonic energy in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley day and night for ten thousand years. Its power is almost as powerful as that of spiritual treasures, so it has the power to surpass imitations.
Old Demon Che smiled complacently, then he rubbed his hands together and a grey magic spell hit the banner.
Suddenly, a gray light flashed, and the small flag spun several times in the air. The phantoms of various monsters on it swayed wildly, appearing to be increasingly dense and countless.
For a time, gusts of evil wind almost covered half of the sky.
next moment…
The small flag quickly transformed into a giant flag about a hundred feet high, standing in the air on the top of the iceberg like a giant pillar supporting the sky.
The phantoms of monsters on the banner seemed life-size, circling and dancing above the banner, ready to move.
"Go!" Old Demon Che roared like thunder and urged the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in his heart.
Suddenly, the roars of countless monsters were heard from the banners. All kinds of ferocious monsters, wrapped in demonic clouds and demonic energy, rushed straight towards the people in Xiaoji Palace opposite like a raging flood.
When Master Hanli saw Old Demon Che's actions, his face became gloomy, his shoulders trembled slightly, and blue flames emerged from his body. He seemed to be bathed in a giant fireball, with his whole body shining with blue light.
With a push of his hands, the blue flame transformed into a dozen palm-sized blue lotuses, bright and clean in color, and gorgeous blue light slowly flowed between the petals.
The two collided with each other in an instant, and the blue lotus continued to emit extremely cold air, suddenly freezing the heavy demonic fog and making a sharp and strange sound.
But is the Ten Thousand Demons Banner just a thing with a false reputation? The countless phantoms of demon beasts pressed forward, and the demon mist descended step by step, filling the entire sky, turning day into night.
A dozen blue flames suddenly dimmed, giving the illusion that they would be extinguished at any time.
As for other places, the monks from Xiaoji Palace were also engaged in a fight with monsters, and it was difficult for everyone to extricate themselves.
Master Hanli realized that his Qianlan Flame seemed no match for the Ten Thousand Demons Banner. His pupils suddenly shone with golden light, and he spoke like thunder:
"break!"
An ancient document flashing with golden light appeared out of nowhere. Not only was it flashing with golden light and extremely powerful, it also exuded a strong sense of righteousness.
The ancient golden characters smashed down towards the demonic fog fiercely, and strands of golden threads shuttled through the gray mist, constantly eliminating the cold demonic aura.
Within a few breaths, the golden light killed dozens of phantom monsters, causing the mist of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner to retreat a little.
"Confucian magic? No wonder it can easily counterattack the Ten Thousand Demons Banner." Old Demon Che was surprised for a moment, and then remained unmoved.
It is true that Taoism, Buddha's light, and righteous energy all have some ability to restrain the demons, but Master Hanli's Confucian magic skills are ultimately inferior.
At most, it can barely resist the Ten Thousand Demons Banner for a while.
Old Demon Che shook the Ten Thousand Demons Banner once again, and the demonic energy suddenly rose to a higher level. Countless phantoms of demon beasts shattered into gray mist, constantly forming a turbulent situation.
The gray evil fog spun rapidly, forming a terrifying vortex above the sky. Its size increased in the blink of an eye, tightly covering the sky above Xiaoji Palace.
And in the center of the vortex of demonic fog, the demonic fog transformed into a ruthless demon eye, which stared at everyone below with a gaze that was cold to the bone.
The next second, the demon eye in the vortex jumped out black thunder, filling the entire eye. The black thunder gave people a strange and cold aura, which was completely unlike the masculine real thunder.
The black lightning locked onto Master Hanli and suddenly poured down, bringing down its power without cost. There were about seventy or eighty lightning arcs as thick as an adult's arm, and the rest were as big as a baby's arm.
There were a total of two hundred black demonic thunders.
Master Hanli's expression was extremely gloomy. He shook his sleeves and a ball of blue light flew out. A small tripod was suspended inside it, and the spiritual light was extremely rich.
With a gesture of his hands, the small tripod jumped out vividly, transformed into a size of seven or eight feet, to meet the terrifying thunder.
Qianlan Ding?
Qi Yuan had just gone to rescue the Bai sisters when he turned around and saw the ancient little tripod that looked like the Xu Tian Ding, and immediately guessed its identity.
Crackling!
Loud thunders kept striking the Qianlan Ding. The tripod made low wails from time to time, and the brilliant blue light dimmed from its peak.
puff!
Master Hanli opened his mouth and spat out a blood mist that scattered in the air. His magic power suddenly retracted, the Qianlan Ding flew back in an instant, and the man fell from the sky.
In the end, he was no match for the incarnation of the old demon Che, or to be more precise, he was no match for the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.
Although the man was defeated, the black thunder still did not stop and directly killed the crowd below.
Just when everyone was in despair, golden Buddha light shot up from the ground into the sky, and golden Sanskrit emerged and sank into the demon eye in the sky.
The heaven and earth trembled, and then a dazzling light broke out, making it impossible for the monks to open their eyes.
With a loud bang, the earth regained its clear and bright color, and the evil fog retracted into the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.
"Why do you have to kill them all, friend Dao? Aren't you afraid that Xiaoji Palace will destroy the space crack?"
Qi Yuan's body was surrounded by a flickering Buddha's light, as if the Buddha were alive.
Upon hearing this, Che Laoyao's expression changed and he said, "Since Fellow Daoist Qi also knows about the space crack, you should understand that it is also your hope for ascending to the spirit world in the future. If Xiaoji Palace takes the initiative to retreat, I am willing to let it go."
His Ten Thousand Demons Banner was broken with just one move. This boy is truly extraordinary.
When Master Hanli realized the reason for the attack in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, he was stunned for a moment, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Xu Ling Palace was originally a product of Xiao Ji Palace. It would be wrong to let them retreat. How about I guarantee the space node for you to use?" Qi Yuan said calmly.
"You! Will Xiaojigong listen to your advice?" Che Laoyao responded sarcastically.
After all, their entire sect has been passed down for thousands of years, so how can they just follow the orders of an outsider? (End of this chapter)
