When Han Yi found out, it was already the seventh day of the Demon Cave outbreak.
Mystic Pill Peak, inner hall.
Six figures took their seats one after another.
"It's very strange. Even if Demon Cave is born, he will not choose to be within Shu Capital. Heavenly Demon usually chooses a remote place, but at least there is a sect with monks Golden Core Come, in this way, there will be enough time to occupy the body of the monk Golden Core, transform it into Heavenly Demon True Body of Heavenly Demon Lord, and then have the strength to stand up Heavenly Demon Ritual."
"Shu Capital is the territory of the Duke of Zhenguo. There are by no means a few True Monarch monks. For monks, when Heavenly Demon comes, its aura cannot be easily concealed. Once the outer passage is discovered, it is absolutely impossible to sit idly by and do nothing. How could it evolve to the point of forming Demon Cave?"
The person who has this question is Si Hongxue.
More than forty years ago, Demon Cave appeared in the middle position between the Void Sect and Jade Capital Mountain. The entire Great Qian was affected. Even Mystic Pill Sect, who was only the Golden Core sect at the time, needed to send thousands of people to participate in the battle to annihilate Heavenly Demon.
Back then, Si Hongxue and several Supreme Elder followed Yuan Shun to Qian Prefecture to join the Demon Cave battle, and gained a deeper understanding of Demon Cave.
Shen Ping's face was solemn, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"I also have this question. The situation this time is unusual."
Back then, Shen Ping, as a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, also participated in the battle of Demon Cave. He knew clearly how cruel Demon Cave was to the monks, and how terrifying those Heavenly Demons who occupied the monks' bodies and manifested Heavenly Demon True Body were.
Zhuge Wuyou sighed in his heart. Although he had never participated in the battle of Demon Cave, he knew the dangers involved. He calmed down and spoke slowly.
"No matter what."
"Demon Cave manifested, Great Qian has asked many sects to go and annihilate Heavenly Demon, and I, Mystic Pill Sect, am naturally among them."
"Now, you all know the situation of the sect. The sect leader has disappeared, Senior Brother Qin has died, and the one with the highest level is me."
"So I decided that I will lead the team this time, Shen Ping, Siyuan will go with me, and then select thirty foundations, four hundred inner gates, and one thousand outer gates to form the Mystic Pill Sect team."
"The departure time will be set in seven days."
Zhuge Wuyou As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Theoretically, now the entire Mystic Pill Sect is indeed at the highest level, and it is the only one, the late Golden Core, followed by the mid-Golden Core of Si Hongxue, Huo Ming and Han Yi.
but.
Even though Zhuge Wuyou has been freed from the poison of Spirit-Locking Powder and his strength has recovered, in the later stage of Golden Core, he can only be ordinary, not very outstanding, and is far inferior to the Golden Core monk of True Person Ranking.
but.
This expedition must bring together all Great Qian sects and all monks. Mystic Pill Sect If not even one Golden Core appears in the later period, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of 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 broke something in Wenxiang Cult, and Wenxiang Cult's protector, Star River True Lord, appeared in Shu Capital, In the soul shadow of Shi Heng, it was revealed that Wenxiang Cult was preparing to cause trouble in Shu Capital. Now, Demon Cave appeared in Shu Capital.
There is no reason why Han Yi should not think deeply about the logical cause and effect here.
Did Wenxiang Cult lead Demon Cave into trouble?
This doesn't make sense.
The entire Jade Balance Realm, no, the entire world of immortal cultivation knows that Heavenly Demon is only endlessly greedy towards monks and has no benefit at all. There is no monk who is so heartbroken and crazy that he cooperates with Heavenly Demon, and it is impossible for any monk to open the channel to heaven and bring Heavenly Demon down.
If this is really the case, then the Heavenly Demon that appears will definitely immediately occupy the monk's physical body and manifest Heavenly Demon True Body. This is a proper suicide attempt.
Han Yi did not completely deny this possibility. Wenxiang Cult itself is a cult. Maybe there will be some method that Heavenly Demon can agree on to cause trouble in Shu Capital.
but.
At present, even if he makes some guesses, he can't do anything. Even if he breaks through to the middle stage of Golden Core, he is just a bigger ant to Wenxiang Cult and Demon Cave.
Han Yi thought for a while and then said.
"No, I'd better go."
"Senior Brother Shen and Senior Brother Zhu will stay in the sect and protect the sect."
"Listen to me first."
"I am quite familiar with Shu Capital. Moreover, I suspect that this Demon Cave is not that simple. It may be related to Wenxiang Cult. I have been to this cult several times. It is quite evil in nature and very scary in terms of strength."
"Furthermore, my strength has broken through to the middle stage of Golden Core. As long as I don't encounter True Lord Yuanying, or Heavenly Demon Lord who is at the same level as True Lord Yuanying, I am confident that I can escape."
"If only the three senior brothers Zhuge go, the high-end strength will be much weaker. In this way, if Heavenly Demon is encountered and defeated, some people will doubt whether Mystic Pill Sect is real or not."
"I'm going. It can be understood that Mystic Pill Sect allows me to practice. Ordinary Heavenly Demon King can kill them. They will definitely not be weaker than Senior Brother Qin's team. This is the most suitable."
Han Yi said in a deep voice, and the reason was extremely sufficient. After the words fell, even Zhuge Wuyou was silent for three breaths, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on his face.
"Junior Brother Han is right. At this time, people must not be able to see the reality of the Mystic Pill Sect. Outside, there must be enough strength to display it."
"I agree."
Zhuge Wuyou expressed his position. Several others thought about it and had no objections. They were not greedy for life and death, but in terms of strength, Han Yi did surpass them by a lot. This was an indisputable fact, and Han Yi's analysis was equally reasonable.
The details were discussed again. After a quarter of an hour, a few people dispersed. Several other elders summoned the foundation-building elders and began to discuss recruiting sect monks to form an expedition team and rush to Shu Capital.
Zhuge Wuyou asked Han Yi to stay, obviously something was wrong.
"Junior Brother Han, I have suffered a lot from you over the years."
Zhuge Wuyou's expression was rather complicated. He was watching Han Yi step by step from Qi training, to foundation building, to Golden Core, and now he has become the mainstay of the sect.
Han Yi shook his head.
"Compared with other senior brothers and sisters, I am the most relaxed one. The sect is relatively lenient towards me, which is why I am where I am today."
He said this sincerely. The sect is not a charity, but as far as Han Yi is concerned, that is, when he was Qi Refining, he did several tasks in the sect. Since he arrived at the foundation building, in addition to guarding Blood Sea with the team and being asked to sit in charge of Qian Capital Mystic Immortal Pavilion, these two tasks are relatively easy.
In addition, the sect did not restrict Han Yi's behavior and allowed him to express himself freely.
Different from Han Yi, other monks in the sect, such as Lu Li, Wo Changyun in the Azure Dragon Palace, etc., all 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 learning more about the sect after being promoted to Golden Core.
The sect is indeed biased and affectionate towards him.
"I'm glad you think so."
After saying this, Zhuge Wuyou's face turned solemn.
"At Shu Capital, you must focus on your own safety and not be distracted by taking care of other monks in the sect, including me."
"You are our future and our hope."
"Remember, remember, don't put the cart before the horse, or prioritize."
Han Yi Hearing this, his heart felt warm.
Seven days later, the team was launched, and everyone took Zhuge Wuyou's fairy-class Immortal Boat and rushed to Shu Capital.
One month later.
Shu Capital is in sight.
However, what shocked everyone was that dozens of miles away from Shu Capital, everyone saw the majestic and huge fairy city in the distance. One-third of the area was shrouded in boundless black demonic energy.
This vast piece of demonic energy reaches up to the Tongtian sky, and the top cannot be seen.
Demon Cave.
This is the completely formed Demon Cave. In this Demon Cave, Heavenly Demon takes over the monk's body and transforms it into Heavenly Demon True Body. If Heavenly Demon is not destroyed in time, more and more Heavenly Demon Lord will come down. Deploy Heavenly Demon Ritual, expand Demon Cave, and change the rules in Demon Cave. This Demon Cave will gradually expand and spread outside. As Demon Cave becomes larger and larger, the Heavenly Demon that can be guided is stronger.
It can even lead to Heavenly Demon God, which is equivalent to the power of becoming a god.
When everyone looked, there happened to be hundreds of Heavenly Demon, passing through the demonic barrier, escaping from Demon Cave, and started fighting with the monks guarding nearby.
Moreover, once Heavenly Demon is killed and Heavenly Demon True Body is shattered, the body of Heavenly Demon appears. If it is not killed immediately, it can invade the monk's body, occupy it, and then transform into Heavenly Demon True Body.
This is the reason why Heavenly Demon is difficult to kill, because to a certain extent, Heavenly Demon has an immortal body.
but.
The world of immortality has long concluded a set of methods to trigger Heavenly Demon. To deal with Heavenly Demon, there are two most commonly used methods. One is to use thunder attribute spells, or thunder attribute talismans, or thunder attribute formations. Heavenly Demon is most afraid of thunder attribute attacks, and it even has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
The second type is to use the secret technique of the soul, or the soul-killing talisman. This kind of secret technique or talisman, targeting the soul, is also extremely lethal to the Heavenly Demon body.
In the world of immortality.
Demons are generally divided into two categories, Heavenly Demon and demons.
Heavenly Demon, Formlessness are without quality. They are in the outside world, covering all the heavens and worlds. They are everywhere. They are powers at the level of the soul.
The demon clan, on the other hand, focuses on the physical body. The demon clan's physical body is so strong that if it is cultivated to the extreme, it can become immortal.
The traditional concept since ancient times believes that demons are the descendants of ancient demons.
but.
It is recorded in some classics that Heavenly Demon is the true descendant of the ancient demon. As for the demons, they are the descendants of the ancient gods, and they are the descendants who have gone astray. In essence, the demons should be called the pseudo-gods.
Because both the demons and the ancient gods took the path of physical immortality.
There are different opinions, but one has to go back to ancient times to know it, or a real immortal also knows the relationship.
And the Heavenly Demon here belongs to the divine soul level, so it can be completely killed by using the divine soul secret technique or using the divine soul-killing talisman.
Han Yi practices Ninefold Soul Pagoda and possesses the secret skills of the four Dao God souls. He thinks he is not afraid of Heavenly Demon, which is one of the reasons why he dares to come.
Immortal Boat Stop.
A monk holding a token and wearing Great Qian Demon-Exterminating Guard battle armor came forward.
Demon-Exterminating Guard and Monster-Slaying Army are both affiliated to Great Qian Immortal Officials Department. These are two dedicated departments, one focusing on eliminating demons and the other focusing on slaying demons. Demon-Exterminating Guard is the first one, and the demons it eliminates include demons and Heavenly Demon.
Zhuge Wuyou greeted him, and after a moment, he returned to Immortal Boat. Then, he commanded Immortal Boat and entered Shu Capital The Immortal Boat channel crossed Ninth Immortal Ring, Eighth Immortal Ring, arrived at Seventh Immortal Ring, and slowly fell down at the inner edge of Seventh Immortal Ring.
Outside Shu Capital, Demon Cave, which seems to connect the sky and the earth and block out the sky and the sun, is actually located in the southern area from Shu Capital Sixth Immortal Ring to Fourth Immortal Ring.,
"Two tasks, these are tasks that everyone who comes to help the sect needs to complete."
"First, Demon-Exterminating Guard has divided a guard area for the Mystic Pill Sect. If Heavenly Demon appears, someone must send someone to kill Heavenly Demon and send him back."
"Second, we need to regularly organize sect monks, or cooperate with Demon-Exterminating Guard and other sects, mobilize monks above Golden Core, break into Demon Cave, kill Heavenly Demon, destroy Heavenly Demon Ritual, and push Demon Cave back."
Zhuge Wuyou summoned all thirty foundation-building elders in front of him and began to assign tasks.
Being recruited to exterminate Demon Cave this time is a task stipulated by the Great Qian Immortal Kingdom. It must be completed and cannot be shied away from. If you complete it, you will be rewarded. If you shirk it and settle the accounts later, it will definitely be the end of the sect's annihilation.
When Demon Cave came hundreds of years ago, a Nascent Soul Sect disobeyed the call and was directly attacked by Demon-Exterminating Guard at that time. Even the true king of the sect was beheaded on the spot.
This is the history of blood, and it is also the consensus of all Jade Balance Realm sects with the power to transform gods. Even Three Great Sects and the Holy Land must abide by it. Otherwise, once Demon Cave expands to a certain limit, it cannot be completely eliminated. This world will eventually be occupied by Heavenly Demon, and all monks will be completely reduced to Heavenly Demon's breeding ground.
This has precedent in the world of cultivating immortals.
Han Yi stood behind Zhuge Wuyou, looking at the thirty elders with flashing eyes and a heavy heart.
Talk about it.
The Demon Cave incident happened when he traveled back four or five years. In order not to be drafted, Han Yi also spent a huge amount of money, thirty Medium-grade Spirit Stone, to bribe the peak master of Lesser Spirit Void 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 Inner Peak in advance, being favored 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 at that time was only Qi Refining Middle Stage. Even if he had a panel and his skills were not bad, if he encountered Qi Refining Late Stage's little Heavenly Demon, 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 can 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 carries a bloody sword on its back, and it is He Fengdi.
Today's He Fengdi is already a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and he is not weak in the middle stage of foundation building. This time, he took the initiative to ask for the tassel. Along with him, there are Gu Yu in the early stage of foundation building, Lu Li in the late stage of foundation building, etc.
Han Yi is no stranger to these people.
After a while.
After Zhuge Wuyou completed the arrangement, the elders dispersed and began to allocate Mystic Pill Sect to the defensive position at the inner edge of Seventh Immortal Ring to deploy defense.
The area where Immortal Boat fell 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 Eighth Immortal Ring with two other foundation-building monks. A distance away, Zhou Su and the two elders saluted Han Yi, and Han Yi nodded in greeting.
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 thunder attribute formations, made spiritual talisman traps, and completed the layout of battle arrays.
Han Yi did not participate in the arrangement. Among the monks who came this time, only some elders knew Han Yi's astonishing combat power. The other inner and outer disciples only knew that there was such a Supreme Elder. They did not understand this Supreme Elder who rarely appeared in the sect. They looked at him in awe.
Three days later.
The demonic energy rolled, and a team of Heavenly Demon passed through the Demon Cave barrier and appeared in the Mystic Pill Sect defense area. No need to say more, the fight was fierce in an instant.
"Kill!"
Zhuge Wuyou gave a soft drink, and a golden alchemy furnace appeared instantly. On the alchemy furnace, a golden dragon was engraved, with natural charm and majesty.
Jadeclear Coiling Dragon Furnace
This is a magic weapon belonging to Zhuge Wuyou, and it is also a top-grade magic weapon.
Compared with Supreme Mysterious Origin Eight Trigrams Furnace, Mystic Pill Sect's Zongzong treasure, which was taken away by Yuan Shun and has been promoted to Lingbao, this alchemy furnace is naturally much inferior, but it is already one of the strongest magic weapons in the Mystic Pill Sect.
Jadeclear Coiling Dragon Furnace tilted, Jade-Cleansing Divine Fire flowed, rushing towards Heavenly Demon who came out, and killed Heavenly Demon. First, destroy its true body, and then use soul magic or talismans aimed at the soul to destroy the Heavenly Demon body that had lost its true body. Only then could Heavenly Demon be completely killed.
This is the most common way.
There are only more than 700 Heavenly Demon in this team. Among them, there are more than 20 that exude the aura of big Heavenly Demon, there are three that exude the aura of Heavenly Demon King, and the others are all small Heavenly Demon.
Jade-Cleansing Divine Fire has begun to take shape, flowing through the void, rushing towards Heavenly Demon, which exudes the aura of Heavenly Demon King. However, one of them, Heavenly Demon King, waved his hand lightly, and the demonic energy surged violently, blocking Jade-Cleansing Divine Fire, and then rushed towards Zhuge Wuyou with a grin.
In his opinion, these monks only have the aura of Zhuge Wuyou, and they are still worthy of his efforts.
Heavenly Demon is extremely fast and occupies the body of a monk. Heavenly Demon possesses Heavenly Demon True Body. In this regard, Heavenly Demon also has great advantages.
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 Heavenly Demon's speed, he could barely react. He turned slightly sideways, and with a flash of golden light, he passed by the other two Heavenly Demon King who were following him behind him.
Two heads exuding surging Heavenly Demon energy soared into the sky.
but.
This Heavenly Demon King just sneered and was beheaded by Heavenly Demon True Body. It happened that there were two human monks here who were enough for them to possess them, so they...
No, this Heavenly Demon King's eyes suddenly widened, because as the golden sword light flashed, the Heavenly Demon aura of the two companions dissipated directly on the spot.
What's going on?
His whole body tensed up, but in the next moment, his vision began to roll rapidly. As his vision rolled, he also noticed a hand pressing on his head and body.
court death.
The other party is absolutely seeking death. If you escape, you can directly invade the other party's body, destroy the other party's soul, and completely occupy his body.
but.
As soon as this thought came up, a destructive force blasted into his own body, completely destroying the Heavenly Demon body that he was proud of. Moreover, something even weirder than Heavenly Demon flashed past.
For Heavenly Demon, there is no severe pain in death. In the next moment, his consciousness dims and he completely collapses.
And in the outside world.
A moment ago, when Zhuge Wuyou launched Jadeclear Coiling Dragon Furnace, Jade-Cleansing Divine Fire tilted down.
Han Yi already pointed his fingers together, and two swords jumped up from behind him, a golden Traceless Sword, and this sword, Tuoba Tu, a white long sword exuding the coldest aura, Heavenchill Sword.
These two long swords are both medium-grade magic weapons, suitable for Han Yi to use.
First, Traceless Sword was dodged by Heavenly Demon King in front, but Trace-less Dao Art swept across and killed two Heavenly Demon Kings in an instant, followed closely by Heavenchill Sword, and then killed the third Heavenly Demon King.
but.
Han Yi only attached Soul-Slaying Secret Art to Traceless Sword. When killing Heavenly Demon True Body, it directly destroyed its Heavenly Demon body.
As for the third one, Heavenly Demon King, who was at the front and was the strongest of the three in terms of strength, Han Yi did not use Soul-Slaying Secret Art to kill him, but used the secret technique of Soul Search.
He wanted to pry into what was going on in Demon Cave so that he could make plans for the next step.
