At the critical moment, Qiu Qianlang and Ying Buli each activated a talisman, and a layer of golden light appeared on their bodies.

A dozen or so venomous bees swarmed over, clinging to the golden light and tearing at it viciously.

at the same time.

The incredibly sharp Geng-Gold Sword severely wounded an Iron-Backed Azure Eagle.

Qiu Qianlang and Ying Buli were trapped by the poisonous bees and were no longer able to stop the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle from attacking.

The two Iron-Backed Azure Eagle, one in front and one behind, pierced through the golden light defense with their sharp talons, crushing the heads of the two men!

The golden light dissipated.

The venomous bees tore at the two of them, devouring their fresh flesh and blood.

With the Geng-Gold Sword hovering outside his body, Chen Changming stared at Tang Mengshao as if facing a formidable enemy, and asked in surprise, "Tang Mengshao, how can you control Demon Beast?"

Seeing Chen Bai so flustered, Tang Mengshao felt a surge of pleasure.

Staring intently at the Geng-Gold Sword, a look of covetousness gleaming in his eyes, he blew a breath, a confident expression on his face, and said with a faint smile, "Heh, because I am a member of the Black Lotus Sect..."

Chen Changming asked in a trembling voice, "How can the Black Lotus Sect control Demon Beast? What's going on?"

"You're asking too many questions, Chen Bai. I'm just an ordinary follower; I can't answer such profound questions. Perhaps Yama, the King of Hell, will tell you the answers when you get to hell!"

Tang Mengshao sneered and waved his hand, saying, "Kill them!"

At this moment, the dozen or so jet-black poisonous bees had turned Qiu Ying and his companion into two White Bone. They buzzed and flew up, like a black cloud rushing towards Chen Changming.

Meanwhile, two Iron-Backed Azure Eagle circling overhead launched their attack.

Thump!

The Immortal Boat suddenly trembled violently, Chen Changming sprang up with lightning speed, landing directly behind Tang Mengshao.

The process was so fast that Chen Bai disappeared in the blink of an eye for Tang Mengshao.

He was terrified, not understanding what had happened.

Click!

He heard a cracking sound from his neck, followed by excruciating pain, and watched helplessly as his body receded further and further away.

Then, everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

After killing Tang Mengshao, Chen Changming put him into his Beast Taming Bracelet. Then, with a stomp of his foot, an unimaginable force was transmitted down, instantly shattering the head of the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle carrying Tang Mengshao, killing it on the spot.

With a flash of golden light, the Geng-Gold Sword was unleashed once more.

at the same time.

Chen Changming raised his hand, and a silver thread flew out.

This silver line was much faster than the poisonous wasps; it killed more than a dozen wasps as easily as threading a needle.

Puff!

The Geng-Gold Sword slew down one of the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle, severing its head. Another Iron-Backed Azure Eagle tried to escape, but suddenly found its body becoming heavy.

"Die!"

Chen Changming slapped the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle, sending it on its way.

Chen Changming used several methods to deal with these Demon Beast, and killed them all in just two or three breaths.

After collecting the Demon Beast's corpse, Chen Changming looked at Qiu Qianlang and Ying Buli, who had turned into two White Bone on the Immortal Boat, and sighed softly.

If he had offered help, both of them could have survived.

However, that would expose their cultivation levels. He and Qiu Qianlang were not close to Ying Buli, so Chen Changming did not choose to save them.

In this chaotic world, he truly trusted very few people.

Tang Mengshao, who was harmless in the past, suddenly transformed into a vengeful demon today. This viciousness was something Chen Changming had not anticipated.

Fortunately, he always concealed his true abilities, only appearing in everyone's sight with his Foundation Establishment Level 2 cultivation. Therefore, in this premeditated killing scheme, he was able to turn the tide and win.

If he reveals his Foundation Establishment Level 6 Body Cultivator, he will definitely be sent to kill Demon Beast, where he will encounter even more Demon Beast attacks and is very likely to perish.

"Black Lotus Sect!"

Chen Changming's eyes flickered.

He had previously suspected that the Black Lotus Sect's motives for joining the Demon-Slaying Alliance were impure, and today his suspicions have finally been confirmed.

These members of the Black Lotus Sect intend to use the Demon Beast within the Demonic Qi to the Demon-Slaying Alliance in one fell swoop.

"If the Black Lotus Sect can control Demonized Beast, then could it be that the Holy Mother Wusheng is hiding in the Demonic Qi Well, obtaining some secret there...?"

Chen Changming analyzed it to himself.

The source of the Demonic Qi is the Demonic Qi Well, a place no one has ever entered, and no one knows what's inside.

The Holy Mother Wusheng was extremely powerful. After failing to obtain the Golden Core Breakthrough Secret Method from the Ouyang Family, she may have taken a risk and entered the Demonic Qi Well to investigate, and then obtained some fortuitous opportunity.

Thus, one can control Demonized Beast.

The Holy Mother Wusheng secretly passed on this ability to manipulate others to the Black Lotus Sect members who had infiltrated the Demon-Slaying Alliance.

Upon this analysis, Chen Changming also felt a chill run down his spine.

Even if the Demon-Slaying Alliance had Golden Core Immortal from the Great Qin this time, they might not be able to outwit the Holy Mother Wusheng.

"No, this place is dangerous."

Chen Changming put away the Immortal Boat and, without hesitation, flew away on his sword towards the outer perimeter.

His life is in danger now, and he can't care about his Senior Sister at this moment.

However, not long after Chen Changming flew out, he felt a powerful force bounce him back hard.

"This is... a formation?"

Chen Changming froze in mid-air, staring at the billowing Demonic Qi, his face instantly turning ashen.

The entire Demon-Slaying Alliance is trapped.

This formation is enormous, covering a full five thousand miles of Mysterious Yin Mountain. Therefore, the Demonic Qi retreats very slowly. The three years of retreat coincide with the time when the Black Lotus Sect secretly set up the formation.

Chen Changming's gaze was deep as he slowly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"The Black Lotus Sect went to great lengths, even luring that Golden Core Immortal into this scheme. This setup probably wasn't aimed at finding me, but rather at this Golden Core Immortal..."

"After all, if it's just targeting the Demon-Slaying Alliance, there seems to be no need to go to such lengths."

"If I were the leader of the Black Lotus Sect, I naturally wouldn't overlook this Golden Core Immortal. That's why this plan is so grand and meticulous; perhaps it's still aimed at eliminating this Golden Core Immortal..."

"The reason why the Holy Mother Wusheng has such confidence is probably because she also broke through to the Golden Core stage after obtaining fortuitous opportunity in the Demonic Qi Well. However, battles between Golden Core experts must be extremely fierce, which is why she surrounded Mysterious Yin Mountain and used Demon Beast to wear down the Golden Core immortals first..."

The more Chen Changming analyzed, the more alarmed he became.

At this moment, he also greatly admired this Holy Mother Wusheng. This person's mind was like a demon's; she had actually taken into account all the cultivators of an entire country, including himself.

Chen Changming knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to find a way; he couldn't just sit and wait to die.

"This situation is not unbreakable; it just needs a variable."

After silently analyzing the situation, Chen Changming came to a conclusion.

The two Golden Core cultivators will eventually clash.

If he could act as this variable, and use his advantage as Body Cultivator to launch a fatal blow against the Holy Mother Wusheng when both are severely injured, this deadlock could be broken.

He was Body Cultivator at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and his true strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Body Cultivator at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

This is merely Chen Changming's personal opinion.

In fact, apart from Du Xiaoliang, he had no other Body Cultivator in contact with, so his actual body-refining strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment level eight Body Cultivator.
