The moon is like a hook, locking the late autumn in silence.
The crescent moon hangs high, and the sky above the entire Qingyun Domain is as bright as day.
But the forest was unusually quiet.
Even the sound of insects was much less than usual.
The nights before the war were always eerily silent.
After Chen Ping came out of Xiaozhu Peak, he changed his appearance at will, gathered his aura and disappeared into the forest.
It was almost impossible to quietly approach a golden elixir and succeed in a sneak attack, but Chen Ping still moved forward extremely cautiously, so that the other party would discover him later and be safer.
Besides, there might be unknown demons hiding somewhere in the forest now.
The hiding place of the demons who want to intercept them is a hidden cave in the southeast of Qingyun Domain, which is more than hundreds of miles away from the Demon Slaying Site.
When he was nearly two hundred miles away from the cave, Chen Ping felt a wave of spiritual consciousness sweeping over him, and he knew that there was no need to hide anymore.
Obviously the demon has noticed him.
Jin Dan's consciousness is so sensitive that it is basically impossible to approach the opponent silently.
He stopped hiding and accelerated decisively.
Go straight to the cave.
At the same time, his spiritual consciousness paid attention to every move around the cave.
His spiritual consciousness was unable to enter the cave, and the demon monk seemed to have adopted some method to interfere with his spiritual consciousness.
But he didn't care, Xu Ruluan was in the cave, and all the scenes in the cave were under his sight.
What surprised Chen Ping was that the two demons did not escape and stayed in the cave. The spiritual consciousness was always locked on Chen Ping, seeming to assess whether Chen Ping had discovered them or not. Evaluate Chen Ping's strength.
In the cave.
It's not so much a cave as it is an extremely narrow stone crevice. The narrowest part is only big enough for a person to pass sideways.
Going inward through the slit, even the hiding place for the two demons is not spacious, with only three or four people standing side by side at most.
It can hardly be used as a resting place or a hiding place.
Then the two demons are staying here at the moment.
"Uncle Master, are you saying that a human golden elixir cultivator appeared hundreds of miles away? He discovered us?" The foundation-building demon cultivator became nervous.
Ji Zhu's spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, so he doesn't know the strength of the person coming.
The Jindan Demon Clan shook his head:
"We should not have been noticed. I have carefully sensed it, and there is no spiritual sense targeting us. This person is probably going to the southeast."
Seeing that his nephew was a little nervous, the Jindan Demon Clan showed a kind smile and comforted him:
"The cave here is a cave that we have laid out for many years. We have just installed a third-order psychedelic array. It is extremely hidden and not easy to find. This third-order psychedelic array was given to me by nephew Gou Xian. You What level of formation master is Nephew Gou Xian? A genius formation master who is rarely seen in hundreds of years. He is the one who will break the Lingxiao Sect's mountain-protecting formation this time."
"Third-level psychedelic array?"
"Brother Gou!"
The confidence of the Foundation-Building Demon Clan increased greatly, and their eyes brightened.
The third-level psychedelic formation can trap golden elixirs. As long as the opponent does not guess where the formation's eye is immediately, once the opponent enters it by mistake, even if the opponent is a master of breaking the formation, he will become a turtle in the urn within a certain period of time and will only be beaten. .
Besides, it's Master Uncle Gou's formation.
There is absolutely no way the other party can guess where the formation's eye is at the first moment.
What they didn't know was that while they were talking, a pretty figure was standing quietly next to them, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
What they said and what they did was transmitted to Chen Ping's mind without missing a beat.
"Uncle Master is awesome." The Foundation Establishment Demon Clan grinned.
At this moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.
The Jindan Demon Clan chuckled:
"Besides, so what if you find out? I just set up an offensive and defensive formation. Coupled with my strength, if he dares to come, I will let him come back without any return."
"Could it be that he got it from Uncle Gou?" The Foundation-Building Demon Clan was stunned.
"Exactly."
Having said this, the Foundation Establishment Demon Clan was completely relieved.
No wonder Uncle Master is so calm.
According to what Uncle Master said, the aura displayed by the visitor was at most the third or fourth level of the Golden Core. If they face the enemy head-on, they are no match, but if they add these defensive methods and gain home court advantage, it will be easy to counterattack the opponent.
Thinking of something, the Foundation-Building Demon Clan suddenly turned around and said in surprise:
"Uncle, could it be that one?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a snow-white bird appear out of thin air in the hands of the Jindan Demon Tribe.
The bird has sharp eyes and a long beak filled with a golden halo.
"That's right, I have spent more than thirty years training day and night on this snow falcon. Not to mention a monk in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core, even a late-stage Golden Core monk will lose his temper when encountering this snow falcon sneak attack. Half a life. Hehe, you think your uncle has no ability to dare to carry out such an important task? I am absolutely foolproof." The Golden Core Demon Clan chuckled and released the Snow Falcon.
The deeper the snow falcon practices the beast-controlling technique, the stronger its camouflage ability becomes.
After going deep enough, even if this snow falcon flies in front of others, they will only think of it as an ordinary bird.
And the more proficient in beast control, the stronger the snow falcon's attack power.
"Uncle Master is awesome."
The eyes of Zhujindan showed admiration.
At this moment, he once again didn't know how to express his feelings.
The Jindan demon patted his nephew on the shoulder and said:
"My other abilities are not worth mentioning, but this beast-controlling skill is considered acceptable in the sect. When you become the golden elixir queen, I will also give you a snow falcon. This snow falcon is unique to Canglan Grassland and is extremely rare. , I have channels over there. When the time comes, I will teach you what I have learned throughout my life, and you will basically be invincible in the same realm."
"Uncle Master, you are too humble. How can you be 'passable'? Your talent in controlling beasts has been at the top of the list for a long time in the entire sect. Even the leader often praises you. Even the monsters in the human world can be conquered by you. Training to this extent." The Foundation Establishment Demon Clan said respectfully.
"Hehe." The Jindan Demon Clan chuckled.
When he was talking to his nephew, his consciousness was always locked on Chen Ping, and he saw Chen Ping getting closer and closer, almost heading straight to where they were.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Impossible." The Jindan Demon Clan murmured.
"What did Uncle Master say?" The Foundation Establishment Demon Clan was stunned.
However, he did not wait for a reply from the Golden Core Demon Clan. All he saw was that the Golden Core Demon Clan was concentrating and his expression became increasingly ugly.
"Uncle Master?"
"Then the human monk should have noticed that I'm waiting." The Golden Core Demon Clan's expression was stiff and the corners of his mouth trembled.
The Foundation Establishment Demon Clan was shocked when he heard this, and almost dropped a pill in his hand.
"Uncle Master said that there is a psychedelic array here. It is a third-level psychedelic array produced by Senior Brother Gou. Isn't it possible for this person to find us?" The Foundation-Building Demon Clan was a little nervous.
He doesn't want to die.
"Haha." The Jindan Demon Clan laughed dryly to hide its embarrassment, and the corners of its mouth twitched:
"It must be a fluke. So what if I find it? My snow falcon is just staying in the forest. It looks like an ordinary sparrow. Hey, wait and see, I will show you my skills."
The Foundation-Building Demon Clan didn't speak. At this moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.
As Chen Ping got closer, the Foundation Establishment Demon Clan also sensed Chen Ping's existence.
The two of them quietly watched Chen Ping's rapid movements.
A moment later, a feeling of angina pectoris enveloped the Jindan Demon Clan.
The foundation-building demon's face stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at his uncle:
"Uncle Master, your snow falcon seems to have been discovered by the opponent before you had a chance to take action."
The Jindan Demon's facial muscles twitched, and he calmed down before saying:
"Accident, it's an accident."
The Foundation-Building Demon Clan wiped his sweat and said, "Uncle Master, how about we escape?"
He smelled death.
"Escape?" The Jindan Demon Clan snorted coldly:
"You killed my snow falcon, I want him dead. Don't worry, the offensive and defensive formation in the cave was done by your senior brother Gou. It is not so easy to find a breakthrough point. Today, I will let him stay in the cave forever. You can watch it later. That’s it, I’ll show you how to kill a mid-stage Golden Core monk.”
"Don't worry, you are the nephew of the cave master. Even if I die, I will send you out smoothly." The Jindan Demon Clan added.
The Foundation-Building Demon Tribe swallowed his saliva and said nothing.
At this moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.
Soon, when they saw Chen Ping enter the cave with ease, find the formation eye accurately, and start destroying the formation unscrupulously, the two demons were shocked and the foundation-building demons cursed:
"Uncle Master, what's going on?"
unacceptable.
He said it as if he had no plan left, but in the end all defensive measures were useless.
The Jindan Demon Clan did not answer.
He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was cold. He could not think of this junior foundation builder. He was about to use the Earth Escape Technique to escape, but before he could use it, two red shadows flashed past.
A stream of Yin Qi struck, interrupting his spellcasting.
Evil?
The Jindan Demon Clan was shocked.
Then he saw two beautiful figures standing at the other end of the cave.
Why is it that there is evil here, but I am not aware of it at all?
It shouldn't be.
What a hell.
Several figures fought together instantly.
The Foundation-Building Demon Clan was covered in cold sweat. At this moment, he greeted his uncle a hundred times in his heart. If he hadn't believed his uncle's evil, he would have chosen to flee far away, at least he would not sit here and wait for death.
But suddenly, he saw a little sparrow staying on the cave wall.
My heart suddenly surged as I hit the bottom, and I shouted loudly:
"Uncle Master, your snow falcon is back. Attack them with it quickly."
The Golden Core Demon Clan paused in the battle. Following the direction pointed by the Foundation Establishment Demon Clan, they saw the Snow Falcon, but before they had time to react, a sharp Snow Falcon chirp came towards them.
He suddenly stumbled back involuntarily, his head feeling dizzy.
The whole person was horrified.
He is a beast master himself, and he is quite accomplished in controlling snow falcons. His sensitivity to snow falcons is beyond ordinary people, but he has never noticed that there is a snow falcon here.
This human monk actually trained the Snow Falcon to such an exquisite level?
Could it be that the evil spirit was also trained by him?
Is it just scary?
Before I had time to think too much, the sound of the snow falcon came again.
The shape of death was reflected in the pupils of the Golden Core Demon. His face was dark, and he took his nephew with one hand and blocked an attack from the Snow Falcon.
The Foundation-Building Demon Clan immediately became paralyzed. The last remaining glimmer of life made him turn his head with difficulty and glance at his uncle, his eyes full of disbelief.
I am a relative of the cave owner.
The other side.
Because all the scenes had been seen in Chen Ping's eyes countless times, he quickly destroyed the formation and did not give the Jindan Demon Clan a chance to escape. He quickly eliminated him while the Jindan Demon Clan was in a trance. .
The opponent is only in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, while Chen Ping is in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. In addition, there are two assistants with the strength of the Golden Elixir, Xue Falcon and Xu Ruyan.
Three against one, it couldn't be easier.
The entire battle lasted only a few dozen breaths.
"Master, did Yan'er perform well?" Xu Ruyan asked for credit with a smile.
Sister Xu Ruluan stood quietly on one side and looked at Chen Ping quietly.
"great."
"What's great?"
“Everywhere is great.”
"whee."
While Chen Ping took back the Snow Falcon, he looked at the excited Xu Ruyan and the quiet Xu Ruluan and said:
"Go and stand guard outside to see if any other demons are coming. I'll take care of this place. I'll leave as soon as possible if necessary."
After the two sisters went out, Chen Ping took the belongings of the two demons as his own. Although both formations had been forcibly destroyed, the storage bag had not completely collapsed and there were still some things inside that could be used.
Then he quickly summoned the souls of the Jindan Demon Clan.
This is the main purpose of this trip.
Knowing the whereabouts and plans of the demons is more important than anything else.
Then quickly evacuated.
After returning to Xiaozhu Peak, taking the octagonal deer with him, and picking some spiritual plants such as tulips in the backyard, Chen Ping did not stay, but went south to the domain where the Xunlong Sect was located.
During the soul-searching process just now, I learned that the demon clan in the southwest of the Western Wilderness did not adopt a strategy of dividing and attacking. Instead, everyone gathered together to attack one sect first, and then the next sect.
The next one to attack is Lingxiao Sect.
Currently, various teams of demons are gathering here, and one team deserves Chen Ping's attention the most.
There is a demon named Gou Quan in this team, who is a formation master and the core figure who destroys the mountain-protecting formations of various sects.
Gou Quan has been operating in the Western Wilderness for many years, and has his own secrets buried in each sect. These secrets will play a coordinating role when the demons destroy the mountain-protecting formation.
The formations of several sects were easily destroyed under such circumstances.
It is not yet known who the Lingxiao Sect is and Gou Quan Liyingwai. Such information is only in Gou Quan's own hands.
But it's not easy to kill Gou Quan.
As a core figure, Gou Quan has been accompanied by a late-stage Jindan demon monk for a long time, which is basically equivalent to half a bodyguard.
Not only that, but there were two other demons who were in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core.
It is not easy to deal with so many demons. It is easy to put yourself in danger. Chen Ping has no intention of taking risks.
He needed to find a way to separate these people.
Defeat them all, or just kill Gou Quan.
Half an hour later, Chen Ping found one of the demon clan's backup caves in a dense valley based on the information obtained from the soul search.
This cave is also small and very hidden.
This cave has a special feature——
——The demons have made special arrangements inside. Combined with the characteristics of the cave itself, as long as the injured demon monks stay in this cave to practice, the speed of recovery can be greatly increased, achieving the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
There were multiple formations and traps arranged in this cave, so Chen Ping did not enter rashly.
After he asked Sister Xu Ruyan to go out on patrol, he carefully planted some tulips on the outside of the cave, and let the eight-pointed deer move around the outside, allowing the tulip seedlings to grow quickly and bloom.
Then without making any more unnecessary movements, he quickly withdrew.
Continue sneaking west.
Half an hour later, he stopped at a place in the west of Qingyun Domain. After confirming that there were no magic cultivators in the target cave according to the established procedures, he approached the cave.
This cave is also a backup cave for the demons.
This cave has a special feature——
——The cave is not natural, but a habitat for the demonic cultivators in the Northern Desert when they plotted the Qingyun Territory. It should also be the location of an important formation that year, making it easy for demonic energy to gather in this cave. , and the array rhyme is much richer than the outside world.
This cave is the first place to practice formations.
After confirming safety, Chen Ping arranged the 'Hundred Flowers Totem Array' at the entrance of the cave.
The Hundred Flowers Totem Array can cause hallucinations and even inner demons in those who stray into it.
Chen Ping has already reached the Great Perfection with this formation, and already possesses the power of the fourth-level formation.
After Chen Ping made these preparations, he retreated a few miles and found a hidden place to hide. As long as he remained motionless and did not release his breath, even if the demons passed by, they might not be able to find him.
After a while of exchange, Sister Xu Ruyan disappeared from Chen Ping.
After a while, two phantoms in red dresses appeared in the forest, heading south.
Chen Ping glanced at the bright sky.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.
It seems that the demons can't wait any longer and are eager to cause interference to the human monks who are marching into the wild forest.
