Destruction Kalpa Immortal
As the Old Third brother famously said, sometimes you have to spend money when you should, otherwise you really can't beat them.
If the old man of the demonic path heard this, he would surely think that it made a lot of sense!
After the Ten Thousand Ghost Bell, which is adept at interfering with Divine Sense, was used first, the Hu Mang then used a needle-like Devil Artifact, which is adept at breaking through qi and arrays.
This hastily arranged formation is a perfect counter to it.
Then, to prevent the old man from coming up with some "advanced magical technology" again, Hu Mang directly unleashed more than ten magical Law Artifact, bombarding the opponent in turn.
Continue until the opponent is completely utterly defeated.
The Hu Mang had used up most of its Divine Sense, which Mid Golden Core.
Seeing the old demonic cultivator bound hand and foot with the Soul-Locking Chain and his soul sealed, Chen Xiaosan gasped and looked at Hu Mang suspiciously.
"Second brother, when you were overseas, you didn't actually join some demonic organization, did you?"
"Why would you ask that?" Hu Mang asked without turning his head.
"Then where did you get so many magical treasures?"
"I found it."
Chen Xiaosan gave him a look that said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
He quickly imagined a scenario: the sealed demonic saint went overseas to work as a laborer, accidentally broke the seal, and then, relying on his bloodline connection, found a demonic treasure. After cultivating overseas for five years, the Dragon King returned.
As for Hu Mang, he paid no attention to the Old Third's thoughts. He was fully activating the Profound Yin Devil Fire to search the old Daoist's soul and scrape his spirit, trying to find more information. Dozens of Profound Yin Devil Fire transformed into thin, hair-like fire threads, drilling into the old man's seven orifices and Niwan Palace, trying to extract more useful information from his soul and memories.
However, after a while, the Hu Mang stood up calmly.
The old man was also completely dead, and the Divine Sense slot on the back of his head was removed by the Hu Mang.
Not much related information was found.
Among the few memory scenes, there are only memories related to the various old men's modifications; apart from that, the part about the demonic path seems to have been artificially sealed away.
However, the Profound Yin Devil Fire is not Devil Cultivation Method specifically used for soul searching, so it is naturally powerless to do so.
However, it's not to say that there were no gains at all.
For example, what the old man said about the "Holy Son" being a figure of great importance even within the Immortal Dynasty was not untrue.
Because a holy son whose bloodline has awakened can become a disciple of the "Destruction Kalpa Immortal," one of the Four Immortals of the Immortal Dynasty.
The group from the Holy Son Cult did exactly that: they found infants with top-tier demonic aptitude, nurtured them in the demonic path, and once they were sufficiently outstanding, they would then have them join the "Destruction Kalpa Immortal" sect, allowing the demonic path to gain more influence within the Immortal Dynasty.
"This technique has a rather ancient feel to it."
The Hu Mang muttered to itself.
It's somewhat like Foundation Establishment Lineage trying to force their trained talents into Golden Core sect.
"The Four Immortals of the Immortal Dynasty..."
As the only major enemy after the establishment of the New Heavenly Gate, it can be said that most Heavenly Gate people are familiar with it, but basically no ordinary cultivators can say anything about it.
As a Heavenly Gate native who had lived for over twenty years, this was the first time Hu Mang had learned who the leader of this formidable enemy of Heavenly Gate was.
Four Immortals of the Immortal Dynasty
Formation Kalpa Immortal, Abiding Kalpa Immortal, Destruction Kalpa Immortal, Emptiness Kalpa Immortal
Moreover, this was the first time Hu Mang had heard the term "immortal" at Heavenly Gate.
"It can't be that bad--"
The Hu Mang muttered to itself.
The Heavenly Gate had finally managed to popularize the Spirit Transformation, and hadn't even completely conquered the Void Refinement, when suddenly an opponent at the "Immortal level" appeared out of nowhere?
Didn't they say there were no living beings on the hundreds of planets around? If there aren't even any people, where would immortals come from?
Or is it simply a nickname?
"Second brother, second brother--"
The Old Third called out several times before finally waking the Hu Mang. Old Third raised his chin and asked, "What should we do with those other living monsters?"
Hu Mang turned his head and saw that among the corpses of monsters, there were actually a few living creatures: Huang Jiayou and Fourth Aunt Bai.
Huang Jiayou deliberately held back, while Fourth Aunt Bai was just lucky. However, her two sons were not so lucky. One was burned to death by the Profound Yin Devil Fire, and the other was pierced through by the Blood-Melting Divine Needle, turning into a pool of filthy blood.
What do you think?
Hu Mang looked at Huang Jiayou and immediately realized that the kid was faking his death.
Sure enough, the weasel, whose external injuries looked very serious, quietly opened one eye, circled around a few times, and then grinned and howled.
"My dear Brother Mang, why are you so late? If you hadn't come soon, we would have been sacrificed by that demon!"
"If I hadn't come, you would have been 100% sacrificed," Hu Mang said calmly.
"As for you, Fourth Aunt," Hu Mang looked at the other one, his eyes narrowing slightly, a dangerous glint in them.
Fourth Aunt Bai was truly seriously injured and unable to speak, but her eyes revealed her extreme terror.
This doesn't even qualify as murder to silence someone, because if Hu Mang hadn't come, the old woman would most likely have been silenced anyway.
"Brother Mang, cough cough, you have to trust me. Leave this to me. Don't worry, for Pine Peak Security, a living Fourth Aunt Bai is more useful than a dead Fourth Aunt Bai."
Although the little weasel was pale, its eyes were darting around, clearly indicating that it was plotting something wicked.
Hu Mang remained noncommittal; the life or death of Fourth Aunt Bai was of no importance to him.
"Where is my mother, and the Liu Household mother and daughter? Do you know where they are?"
Huang Jiayou thought for a moment, then said with a strange expression, "I really don't know where Third Aunt went, but when we were in the Yin-Yang Passage, I think I saw her husband pull her out of the Yin-Yang Passage and disappear without a trace."
"However, I did witness the scene with my own eyes, that of the Liu Household mother and daughter, and it was truly horrific..."
According to Huang Jiayou, when the five people fell into the Life-and-Death Passage, Liu Wuniang was extremely unlucky and happened to run into a crack in the Yin-Yang Passage. Her upper body was instantly split in two. Then, the old snake demon Yu Dynasty, without saying a word, directly chose to possess his own daughter. During the possession, it seemed that something was disturbed, and a black willow branch directly pierced into the Yin-Yang Passage, dragging the mother and daughter away together.
Then, the Huang Jiayou crashed into the Iron Gate Pass and became an unfortunate sacrifice to the demonic path.
"So, I've made a wasted trip?" Hu Mang sighed and said.
"That's not quite it," Huang Jiayou hesitated for a moment before saying, "When I fell in here just now, I thought I saw my third aunt's husband, but I'm not sure, because he disappeared in an instant."
"What?"
According to the other party, when they first fell into this place, a group of surviving Pine Peak monsters were discussing how to escape. Huang Jiayou happened to look up and found "Old Xie" mixed in with them, but when he looked again, he found that "Old Xie" had disappeared.
He even doubted his own eyes.
Ghost Makeup?
"Besides your aunt, did you see a demon general wearing a demon mask?" Chen Xiaosan couldn't help but ask.
"We did see that demon general leading a large army of demons heading in that direction, but we didn't dare get close," Huang Jiayou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then, after I was captured, I sensed an indescribably terrifying sword intent, also coming from that direction."
Following the direction Huang Jiayou pointed, Chen Xiaosan's expression changed.
"Second brother, I'm going!"
I'll go with you.
Hu Mang sighed, then looked at Huang Jiayou, "Can you hold on? Do you want me to take you out?"
Huang Jiayou grimaced as he pulled the "External Spirit Root" from his back and said, "Although it tormented me to the point of unbearable pain before, after internal inspection, I found that my meridians seem to have been widened. This can be considered a blessing in disguise. However, my body is covered with a lot of Demonic Qi. I'll have to get cupping done a few times when I get back."
Seeing that the other party was not in much trouble, Hu Mang nodded and drew him a rough map of the Ghost Subway, asking him to meet him and the others at the subway entrance.
He and Chen Xiaosan headed straight in the direction Huang Jiayou had pointed out. The further they went, the heavier the Yin Qi became, even creating a dense ghost wall effect.
For example, you might see a straight road ahead, stretching into the distant fog, seemingly without any problems; but after taking a few steps, you'll find that the road has unknowingly turned into an arc, and by the time you realize it, you're already circling around an unseen center.
For example, you see a collapsed arrow tower not far ahead, so you walk towards it, and after walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the arrow tower is still at the same distance.
You stopped, stared at it for a moment, and then blinked. In that instant, the arrow tower silently appeared to your left, while the withered tree that should have been on your left appeared behind you.
The Hu Mang's Yin Eye were disturbed.
Even Chen Xiaosan, a local, had to admit, after going around in circles, that he might have led the wrong way.
Fortunately, Hu Mang discovered that although the Yin Eye was useless, the Heavenly Eye was still reliable. Under the scan of the Heavenly Eye, most of the ghost walls turned into pure Yin Qi, and in addition, a faint trace of Blood Qi overflowed from the Yin Qi.
Hu Mang immediately signaled Chen Xiaosan to follow, and following the flow of Blood Qi, the two found their target with almost no trouble— Old Ironhead, the deliveryman at this station.
It was just the dead Old Ironhead.
Old Ironhead leaned against the base of a half-collapsed city wall, his body remaining seated, like a sculpture.
His worn-out iron armor was covered with countless sword marks.
What's most striking is the sword mark between his eyebrows, an extremely thin, almost imperceptible red line that extends from his brow to the back of his head, traversing his entire skull.
There was no blood, no crack, only a thin red mark, as if it had been lightly drawn with the finest brush dipped in cinnabar. But if you looked closely, you could feel the terrifying sword intent that could annihilate ghosts and slay gods.
