In the dungeon.
The five former death row inmates were sitting on the ground. Although they had been rescued, they had only left the iron cage, but they were still in a desperate situation with unpredictable fate.
Ji Sheng stood alone in the corner with his eyes closed and looked weak; Qu Zhi, whose consciousness was still there, was trying to heal his injuries after swallowing the elixir.
Fang Xiuzi, who had broken an arm and a leg, and was exposed to the strong evil spirit, could not recover his cultivation. He could only wait to escape from the dungeon before trying to retreat to heal his injuries; Hua Yue's shoulder blade was pierced by an iron cable, and his condition was equally miserable. It was unbearable; Mu Qianli's body was covered in bruises, and his skin was torn. Although his muscles and bones were not injured, he had lost his cultivation and could not move freely. Fortunately, Pingyangzi has been taking good care of him, which makes the three people who have suffered so much feel comforted.
Separated between the stone chamber and the corridor is the cave where the teleportation array is located.
At this time, Guan Yi, Ying Ling, Ban Ling and other eight Yanzhou monks were sitting around the formation, quietly waiting for the formation to open and the arrival of the powerful enemy. With eight people working together, the Tiantong Sword Formation is enough to deal with a demon general. As long as you get rid of Gan beasts and Gan birds, you can take the opportunity to escape from the dungeon. But he didn't know when the two men would show up, so he could only be on guard day and night and be ready. .
But one key person is missing?
Although Yu Ye hid, he was not idle.
In the stone room a few feet away, he was sitting on a stone couch, holding a jade bottle covered with restrictions in his hand, and said softly——
"Guard Qiong, how should I escape from the dungeon?"
There was no movement in the jade bottle.
"Old man, if you want to live, answer my question!"
Before taking action against Ganshou, Yu Ye still did not give up looking for a shortcut to escape. But it was not out of luck, but because he wanted to avoid casualties. Once something happens to him, it doesn't matter if he dies, but all the fellow Taoists in Yanzhou, Duocai and Qingluo, will be doomed.
If you dare to fight, you must win.
Otherwise, he really can't afford to lose!
"Silence?"
Yu Ye rubbed his fingers, and a weak wisp of real fire flew into the jade bottle.
"ah……"
Finally there was movement, but it was a piercing scream.
"Hey, it's my first time to use the soul-drawing and soul-refining technique, and I'm not yet proficient at it. Allow me to try more..."
"Stop—"
Another howl.
Yu Ye raised the jade bottle and said in a deep voice: "Old man, why don't you tell the truth——"
"There is no way out from here, only the teleportation array..."
"Where is the dungeon located?"
"Below Guyuan City, above the spiritual veins..."
"How many demon generals and demon baby leaders are there in the city?"
"I only know that Gan Shou and Gan Xun are demon generals, and Gan Qin is the leader of the demon infants. I don't know anything else..."
"Are you a human or a demon?"
"In the demon realm, non-human beings are demons, so why bother asking..."
"Are you a demon fox?"
"I'm from Qiongshan. I've practiced for thousands of years and transformed into a human form. Of course I'm a human..."
"You are a fox from Qiong Mountain. Even if you cultivate a human form, you are still a demon. Otherwise, why would your soul be a human-headed beast? Let me ask you again, what is your connection with Ganshou?"
"I was captured by Ganju. The reason why I served him was because I was greedy for the evil spirit here. When I transform into a god one day, I can completely transform into a beast..."
This steward Qiong has a different obsession with the names of humans and animals.
"You are obviously a demon, you have achieved success in cultivation, you live a long life, you are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and you are surrounded by mountains and rivers. This life is not happy, but why do you want to become a human?"
"Man is the head of all spirits and the master of heaven and earth. I have practiced for thousands of years and naturally want to be reborn and become an immortal among demons. If you envy the demon way, I hope you will become a Qiongshan fox in the next life..."
"I bother!"
Yu Ye spat.
This Qiong steward, or Qiong Shan, seems to be extremely shrewd and versatile, and his speech and conversation are still different from others.
"In your opinion, how do I kill Ganju?"
"In a dream."
"Old man, speak human language!"
"Hmph, Ganshou is an eighth-level demon general, and his divine dragon bow is so powerful that if you, a demon infant junior, want to kill him, you can only do it in a daydream; and Gan Xun, a member of his clan, is a sixth-level demon general. Because, Gan Qin is similar to me in cultivation, more ferocious and good at fighting. Instead of dreaming about killing people, you should think about how to pray for life!"
"Oh, how should I pray for life?"
Yu Ye cast a magic spell, and a figure slowly emerged from the jade bottle. It was the soul of Qiong Mountain, with a fox body and a human head, and a strange shape. When he tried his best to dodge, he caught him in his hand.
"ah……"
Screams rang out.
Yu Ye turned a deaf ear, squeezed out two drops of essence and blood with his fingers, and drew out the talisman array. Then the light flashed, and the two marks penetrated into the sea of consciousness of the soul.
"Spare my life..."
Qiong Shan was startled, and then suddenly startled——
"you……"
"Hey, no wonder you, an old guy, can survive to this day, but you are good at surviving!"
Yu Ye let go of his palms and smiled slightly.
Qiong Shan's soul took the opportunity to jump up, but before he could escape, he fell to the ground with a "Oh!" and said in despair: "My life soul..."
"Well, the soul-locking technique!"
"The soul-locking technique from the ghost realm...?"
"If you dare to play tricks again, I will take your life at any time!"
Yu Ye raised the jade bottle and said without any doubt: "Come back -"
Qiong Shan hesitated for a moment, then flew up from the ground. His body suddenly flashed and fell into the jade bottle, but he begged again: "I just serve you, but I shouldn't be so harsh..." Although Yuan Shen is small, His appearance and expression were just like his own, and when he begged, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"snort!"
Yu Ye snorted coldly and stared.
"oops--"
Qiong Shan suddenly hid in the jade bottle and said in horror: "My Heavenly Fox illusion skills are unique in the demon realm. How could you know this so well and be even better..."
Yu Ye used the restraint to seal the jade bottle, flicked his sleeves, and slowly closed his eyes, with a stern expression between his brows.
Qiong Shan was captured by the Gan beast. Under the pretense of surrender, he hid in a dungeon and practiced training, hoping to become a monster among monsters. It is quite difficult to capture such an old fox from the mountains. However, Gan beasts and Gan birds are monsters among humans and are bound to be even more difficult to deal with.
When Yu Ye thought of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Who is he, a monster among men, or a devil among men? He is just an ordinary disciple, a seeker on the vast path to immortality. As for asking, his realm is far from reached...
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
There was no movement in the teleportation array, and no beasts or birds appeared.
Although Guan Yi and the others were as alert as ever, their tense hearts relaxed a bit. They occasionally joked with each other, or discussed how to open the teleportation array.
Duocai, after more than ten days of rest, has recovered 70% to 80% from her injuries. Yuye asked her to help Pingyangzi take care of several seriously injured fellow Taoists. There were more and more Taoist friends in the Immortal Realm, and there were two more masters in transforming gods. Not only did she not question it, but she became accustomed to it. However, she was more willing to take care of Qu Zhi and ask him for advice on the art of demon cultivation. It was precisely because of her existence that Qu Zhi believed in Yu Ye's identity. However, he was also convinced that Yu Ye had another origin.
Unlike Qu Zhi's demon cultivators, Ji Sheng, Hua Yue, Fang Xiuzi, and Mu Qianli all had difficulty absorbing the demonic energy to practice. They could only use elixirs to stabilize their injuries. If they could not leave this place, they would have to spend several years in seclusion to practice hard. I'm afraid I can't even hope to recover as before.
Yu Ye was still sitting alone in the stone room, but the door was wide open so that he could respond to emergencies at any time.
Forcibly breaking the formation failed, and now we can only wait for the teleportation formation to be opened again. The arrival of a powerful enemy means the coming of life and death. Only by facing life and death can we find a way out!
But Gan Beast and Gan Qin didn't show up for a long time.
A life-and-death wait has turned into a kind of torture...
"Well, I really didn't expect that City Lord Qu Zhi would actually recognize Uncle Bone Ya!"
The figure flashed and Duocai walked in. She and Qu Zhi got along very well, and it was inevitable that they would talk about the past events of Muying City and Black Wind City. Who misses each other
Not only did he recognize Gu Ya, but he also had dealings with Qi Huai.
Yu Ye opened his eyes.
"Senior Qu wants to go to Muying City, but he is afraid that the Lord of Qihuai City may have some scruples. I advise him to go to Muying Valley to heal his wounds. What do you think?"
Duocai walked closer.
"He doesn't want to take back his Guyuan City?"
Yuye said doubtfully.
"Guyuan City is under the jurisdiction of the two demon kings Jiuzhi and Jiubao. Even if he takes back the position of city lord, he will still be in danger. He has to go far away to find another way out."
"After escaping from here, I wish him a smooth journey!"
"He wants to follow you!"
"Follow me……"
Yu Ye was stunned and speechless.
It's okay to have eight people with Guanyi by his side. At least he has a group of capable helpers, and after taking in Ping Yangzi, there are thousands more clues. Now there are three more old, weak, sick and disabled people. He not only has to take into account the safety of everyone, but also tries to deal with various situations. He is already overwhelmed. If he takes in another demon general and city lord who has a bitter hatred, he will inevitably be involved. The grudges and disputes in the demon realm.
And there is no wind without waves, everything has a cause and effect.
Perhaps, he had already fallen into the torrent and was unable to extricate himself...
"Everyone, be careful——"
At this moment, a shout came from outside the door.
Yu Ye's expression changed, and he rushed out of the stone room. Duocai followed closely behind, the sword in her hand flashing.
Guan Yi and other eight people have all stood up and stood around the formation. The four stone pillars that had been silent for a long time were suddenly surrounded by light, which was obviously the activation of the formation. But in the blink of an eye, two illusory figures appeared in the light.
"Sword Formation——"
Guanyi shouted sharply, and the eight flying swords whizzed out. The moment the sword light flashed, hundreds of sword lights rushed away.
As soon as the two people in the teleportation array appeared, they were submerged in the gusts of sword light. The body's protective magic collapsed instantly, and then blood and flesh splattered. Even the escaped souls were shattered by the sword array!
The Tiantong Sword Formation is well-deserved!
Yu Ye and Duocai stood outside the sword formation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the formation continued to shine, and two more figures came one after another. Suddenly, they saw murderous intent coming. One person drew out his two swords and waved them up and down. The other roared and jumped up, and unexpectedly hit out one after another fist shadows with "bang bang". He blocked the dense sword light and broke through the sword array.
"Stop him——"
Once the sword formation is defeated, the eight Yanzhou monks are no match for this person!
Yu Ye shouted loudly, opened his mouth and spat out a bolt of purple lightning, and then heard a "bang" sound. The strong man who had forcibly broken the formation fell down, and was once again caught in the violent attack of the sword formation. But I saw him waving his fist to resist the sword light and yelling angrily——
"Ganqin..."
It was Gan Qin who was wielding the two swords and said in a panic: "Uncle Master, I don't know either..."
"Ha ha!"
The strong man suddenly laughed ferociously and said: "It doesn't matter what you do, just resist for a moment, the beast is coming, you must kill these thieves!"
Such a fierce person is actually not a Ganju...
