On the fifth day after entering Jiugu Mountain, Hua Ruxue, who originally planned to continue practicing in the cave, had to follow the instructions of the Samsara Stone and return to the illusion, only because of the appearance of demonic energy in the illusion!
"Little Shitou, who said it the day before yesterday that there is no danger in Jiugu Mountain, do you still remember?"
Reincarnation Stone: "..."
As soon as Hua Ruxue entered the illusion, she was blinded by the scattered black mist. In the cave, she saw two second-level monsters exuding demonic energy appearing in the south from a distance, so she came out.
At her speed, it only took a quarter of an hour to get here from the real Jiugu Mountain. In just this quarter of an hour, the illusion was completely shrouded in black mist.
There is Qingyang Mountain between Jiugu Mountain and No Return Forest. Demonic energy will appear here. If Qingyang Mountain had not fallen, it would have been someone who brought the demonic energy in.
Of these two possibilities, Hua Ruxue prefers the latter. After all, in addition to the Qingyang Su clan, the Su Shang Ying clan, the Dongyang Ning clan and the Chang Ying Yun clan in Jiugu Mountain!
The person who turned Azhao into a demon was the Chang Ying Yun clan, the one who advocated making the best use of demons.
Although I haven't seen anyone from the Yun family yet, Hua Ruxue has nailed them to the gallows. Who else can have a monk who can store magic weapons that stores magic energy, besides people from the Yun family?
"Where are those two monsters?"
Hua Ruxue looked around, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. Although they were all Golden Core Stage cultivators on this trip, there were almost none like Su Yi who could fight against the second-level monsters on their own.
Not to mention, this is the fifth day after entering Jiugu Mountain. The monks with higher talents have long been selected by high-level exercises and drawn into the illusion test. If they are not connected to this world, they will not be able to pass the test until at least seven days.
At this moment, there are only those early Jindan monks with poor talent left in Jiugu Mountain. If they encounter those two second-level monsters, it will be difficult to save their lives.
"Southeast."
Hua Ruxue walked to the southeast and saw the black fog gradually getting thicker. She couldn't help but feel worried: "Little Shitou, can you do it?"
She wasn't worried that the Reincarnation Stone wouldn't be able to defeat those monsters, she was just worried that his power would be exhausted and he would become even less reliable.
Reincarnation Stone: "..."
Before Samsara Stone could speak, the little Sword Spirit, who had been frustrated all the way, spoke first to express his dissatisfaction.
"How can you trouble Lord Samsara with a mere second-level monster? Little fox, although you don't even have a level, but you have followed Lord Samsara for so long, you can't even defeat this little second-level monster, right?"
Hua Ruxue had heard too many words about her being a waste, useless demon, and weak demon. Suddenly she heard the little sword spirit ask in surprise, and she felt that the sword spirit's brain might not have been unlocked yet.
It’s been said that she doesn’t even have a level, so how can she fight a level two monster?
Use these two short legs that can't even catch up with rabbits, or use those fists that can only wait for the monster to hit you?
"No way! No way! There are still people who can't defeat the second-level monsters! Oh, that's right, you are not a human. I think back then, I killed those monsters with one sword!"
Hua Ruxue couldn't help but clenched her fists with both hands, put on a stern face, and warned herself that she had to endure it! If you can't beat me, you can't beat me, endure it!
Just think of it as pity that his majestic sword is rusty, so why isn't his mouth rusted?
The little sword spirit had been imprisoned for many years. As soon as he was released from the seal, he wanted to make up for all the things he had not said in the past.
He lamented one after another, saying that one generation is inferior to the other, and finally he suddenly mentioned two names.
He said: "The most powerful one in the human race is Su Changyou. Among the demon race, if you want to be powerful, Bai Yanqiu is definitely indispensable!"
"Who is Bai Yanqiu?" The fox ears under the cloak moved. Hua Ruxue felt that the name was very familiar and couldn't help but interrupt the little sword spirit.
Monster beasts have no names, only contracted beasts have names. Whose contracted beast should Bai Yanqiu be?
The little sword spirit hesitated, but she could only hear the last sentence clearly: "Don't say I won't tell you, and you won't be able to hear me if I tell you. This is called a secret that must not be leaked!"
Understand, she shouldn't ask, it's called humiliating herself.
The little sword spirits on the left and right said this just to highlight how powerful he was, how unparalleled he was, and then took the opportunity to step on her feet. Just like the rabbit fawning over the red fox, he wants to get the favor of the reincarnation stone.
This stone, which is usually deserted and unreliable, can actually make the majestic sword fascinated.
After walking another three miles to the southeast, Hua Ruxue had to slow down and listen carefully to the sounds around her, unable to see anything more than a foot away.
Suddenly there was the sound of a sword being unsheathed and cutting through the sky from the front left. The long sword struck the hard-as-iron shell, sparking sporadic fire.
The man was in the early stage of Jindan cultivation, and his sword was as powerful as a rainbow. In an instant, he cut off the neck of the monster with one sword, but the black mist did not weaken at all.
The man and his companions said: "Where is the source of the demonic energy? If this continues, the demonic energy will spread to the outside sooner or later. By then, not only Jiugu Mountain, but also the entire human world will be enveloped by the demonic energy. !”
"Senior Brother Changming, the demonic energy is getting stronger as we go south. We have already encountered four first-level monsters along the way. We'd better find other monks first and then go there together."
Ying Changming said: "I know your worries. The barrier on Jiugu Mountain is useless to monsters. It is also a spiritual cultivation treasure land. I am afraid that there will be demonized second-level and third-level monsters here. Just you and me These two are no match for them.”
There was a bit of anxiety and a bit of helplessness in his words, and then he lit a mayfly lamp. The mayfly lamp flew up, and the surrounding black fog instantly faded, and the bright yellow light seemed to illuminate everything.
Hua Ruxue hid her aura three feet away from them. When the mayfly lamp was lit, her figure immediately appeared in front of the two of them.
Ying Changming was shocked at first and clenched the sword in his hand. Then he probably remembered the inner demon oath made by the monks before entering Jiugu Mountain. Then he released the sword in his hand and asked:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Su Shang Ying, may I dare to ask your name."
"Flowers are like snow."
Su Shang Yingshi advocated eradicating evil, and Hua Ruxue decisively tightened her breath and hid her tail, not intending to tell them that she was Su Yi's temporary contracted beast.
Just when she heard the words "Senior Brother Changming", she guessed the identity of that person was Ying Changming, a direct disciple of the Ying family, and his sister was Ying Changfeng who obtained the top inheritance from here last year.
I wanted to leave quickly before they noticed her presence, but I never thought that this person would have a mayfly lantern in his hand. When this lamp is lit, even things hidden in stones can be seen clearly. One lamp can only be used for one hour, so it is very precious.
Ying Changming looked at her carefully, as if he remembered something, his expression was a little subtle, and he asked: "Miss Guan's figure looks familiar, have we seen her before?"
"Senior Brother Changming, she should be the one who... as soon as she enters Jiugu Mountain." The woman standing next to Ying Changming reminded in a low voice.
He showed an expression of sudden realization, looked at Hua Ruxue with more admiration, and was filled with excitement as he spoke.
He said: "I admire you for your cultivation at such a young age. You are not trapped by the illusion! With you here, we will be able to quickly find the source of the evil energy and kill the demon!"
Hua Ruxue was stunned for a moment when she was suddenly praised by strangers, especially Su Shang Ying, who advocated eradicating all evil and killing anyone who saw a demon. Hua Ruxue seemed to have misunderstood something.
They couldn't sense her cultivation just because she didn't have it, not because she was higher.
So, Hua Ruxue straightened her face and told the truth truthfully: "I can't do it. I can't beat the second-level monster."
Even if it were a monster, she wouldn't be able to defeat it if it ran faster. Every time at this time, I couldn't help but miss the arena competition, and no one thought about escaping.
However, the two of them did not believe her truth. The woman who had been sizing her up moved her eyes slightly and said with some joy:
"Girls don't have to be modest. Anyone who can enter Jiugu Mountain has extraordinary talents and will be famous in the future. With girls here, even if you encounter a second-level monster, you can fight it!"
Looking at Ying Changming again, he was even more excited as he held the sword, wanting to kill those monsters now.
Hua Ruxue: "..."
The two people seemed to have misunderstood something. They looked at her with admiration, as if they had seen someone with extraordinary talent and unparalleled talent.
She has no humility and is really unbeatable. How come just telling the truth turns into being humble?
They had agreed to do their best to eliminate evil and kill monsters when they saw them. Is it really okay for the two of them to call her a monster like that?
Either she should run away quickly before her identity was discovered, otherwise she would be gone before she even encountered the two second-level monsters.
Hua Ruxue pondered for a while and prepared to say goodbye to the two of them, "That...I..."
Samsara Shi said: "Little fox, come with them."
He swallowed back the words he wanted to say goodbye. If he was acting alone, he could ask Xiao Shitou to help. If he were to go with these two people...
"Why?"
"They have a familiar smell on them, maybe they have what I'm looking for."
"good!"
Hua Ruxue agreed, and Xiao Shitou opened her mouth, so she had no choice but to act together with these two people.
"What's wrong, girl?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Ying Changming asked with concern.
"I know where the source of the evil energy is."
"Really! Girl, take us there quickly! I don't know if there are any disciples of the Chang Ying Yun Sect around. The demonic energy here is strange. I guess there is something wrong with one of their magic weapons."
Ying Changming's eyes lit up with surprise at first, but when he mentioned Chang Ying Yun's family, his eyes dimmed and turned helpless.
Junior Sister Ying immediately agreed: "Senior Brother Chang Ming is right, we need to recover the magic weapon as soon as possible to prevent the evil energy from spreading further."
Hua Ruxue saw that the two people's guesses were roughly the same as hers, and they didn't even panic at all. She couldn't help but become curious about the Chang Ying Yun family. What on earth did they do that caused everyone to think of them immediately when they mentioned demonic energy.
When they were in Wuyou Town, Su Yi just said, "Elder Su Huaixin's contracted beast Azhao became demonized..." The monks below, who had never seen Azhao at all, began to curse: "It's that guy who hasn't seen a monster in eight hundred years again. Chief Ying Yun clan!"
The Qingyang Su clan and the Su Shang Ying clan have had tens of thousands of years of entanglement, but they actually have the same understanding of the matter of demonic energy.
So she asked the two of them: "What did Chang Ying Yun do in the past?"
Both of them were shocked, and their surprised expressions seemed to say: You don't even know this?
Ying Changming coughed lightly, put away the hanging ephemera lamp, and said slowly: "Girl, you may not have heard those rumors, but you should have heard of Banmei Valley."
Half Plum Valley? Where is that?
