The northern part of Luzhou is called Dahuang.
This place is no longer shrouded in miasma and poisonous fog, but it is notoriously desolate and barren.
There are almost no living animals in the wilderness, nor any green plants, only endless sand dunes and rocks.
The ground is covered with thick gravel, and the cold wind roars in from the north every day, cutting and tearing the mountains into various strange shapes.
Only a handful of creatures can barely survive in this harsh environment.
This vast and barren wasteland seems to have been abandoned by the entire world.
In a steep mountain called Buxian in the depths of the wilderness, a giant-like man was running towards the depths of the mountain with swift steps.
This strong man was at least a foot tall, with tangled muscles all over his body, and red and hot blood lingering around him, almost condensing into substance.
He was only wearing a skirt made of tiger skin, and there was nothing else covering his body. His hair was also messy, and two small fiery red snakes hung from his earlobes, hissing and spitting out snake messages from time to time.
If Yu Yuan were here, he would be able to recognize this strong man as the Scarlet Sun Witch King he had seen before.
At this moment, he was running all the way and soon reached his destination.
Looking from a distance, I saw a dangerous mountain gorge ahead.
On both sides of the gorge, there are rugged rocks.
There were all kinds of corpses nailed there, mostly those of monsters and ferocious beasts.
There are many demon king-level experts among them, and there is even the skeleton of a demon god nailed to the top.
The Wu Clan nailed these bones here to declare their sovereignty, and it was also a silent warning to the Demon Clan and the ferocious beasts.
Trespassing into the Witch Clan's territory will lead to death!
After passing through the mountain gorge, there is a relatively open and flat valley behind.
Many caves have been dug out of the rock walls in the valley, extending in all directions, almost hollowing out the mountain. There are many burly Wu tribesmen living in them.
In the center of the valley, there stands a huge stone pillar with ancient patterns carved on it. It looks like a portrait, but it is actually a human body with a snake's tail, and seven hands growing on its back.
There were mottled dark brown bloodstains on the stone pillars, and a strong smell of blood lingered on them.
Apparently, this stone pillar was often used as a priest by these witch people with blood.
The Chiyang Witch King walked into the cave, and the witch clans inside came to greet him.
"You're finally back."
A strong man from the Wu clan said anxiously: "Seven of our comrades died yesterday..."
"What?!"
Chiyang Witch King’s thick eyebrows suddenly knitted together, he reached out to grab the strong man who was speaking, and roared angrily: “I have only been out for a few days, and so many people have died? Tell me clearly, what happened? What's going on?"
It is difficult for the Witch Clan to reproduce and their number is extremely rare. The death of any Witch Clan is a big event and may even affect the survival of a tribe.
The Chiyang Witch King's tribe only has a total of more than seventy adult witches. Now it has suddenly lost one-tenth of its combat power. It will inevitably be stretched to deal with the invasion of those demon clans and ferocious beasts in the future.
"It was that Hunyuan Yiqi Immortal who did it!"
The strong man quickly said: "Yesterday when we were hunting the big green snake outside, the Hunyuan Yiqi Immortal passed by on a golden-eyed five-cloud camel and asked us to pull out the snake skin and give it to him. If we didn't agree, he would Take action.
He is very powerful, even a dozen of us tribesmen were no match for him, but he killed seven tribesmen..."
"You said he was riding a golden-eyed five-cloud camel?"
The Chiyang Witch King seemed to have remembered something, and punched the stone pillar next to him, smashing it into a pile of gravel.
"If I had known that guy was the Hunyuan Qi Immortal, I should have shot him to death! No, this guy has killed so many of my clansmen, I must not let him go!"
"But that Hunyuan Yiqi has left for a long time. Where can we find him?" the strong man asked with a sad face.
"We can ask the clan leader to take action!"
The Chiyang Witch King had already planned. He walked quickly to the stone pillar, put his fingers in his mouth, bit them open, and smeared hot blood on the stone pillar, and then said in a deep voice:
"The Chiyang clan of the Zhurong tribe respectfully invites the clan leader to appear!"
With his words, something sleeping inside the stone pillar seemed to wake up.
A resolute and brave face appeared on the stone pillar.
"Chief Dapan!"
The Chiyang Witch King looked at the face on the stone pillar and said solemnly: "An immortal god who calls himself Hunyuan Yiqi Immortal broke into Buxian Mountain and massacred seven members of my Chiyang clan. I beg the clan leader to avenge them!"
"It's this Hunyuan Qi Immortal again!"
The leader of the Dapan clan on the stone pillar looked very angry and said in a deep voice: "Eight clans have come to report in the past two days, saying that the Hunyuan Yiqi Immortal killed their clansmen... It seems that this guy is really crazy. pole!
Chiyang, you immediately select the elite warriors from the clan to join me. Even if you lay a dragnet, I will catch this guy and tear him alive with my own hands! "
"Come here!"
The Chiyang Witch King responded, immediately summoned his clansmen, selected ten elite warriors, and ordered the others to stay and watch the cave, not to go out, and then left in a hurry.
The same scene happened in other places in the wilderness.
Fuyu Mountain, Yushan Mountain, Hengtian Mountain, Xianmin Mountain, Dafeng Mountain...
The Wu tribesmen who were scattered in various places began to gather together, and then dispersed under the arrangement of Chief Dapan, searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Hunyuan Yiqi Immortal.
…
There is a huge mountain at the northernmost end of Luzhou in Beiju, called Jigui Mountain.
At this moment, at the top of Jigui Mountain, a middle-aged man wearing a black Taoist robe stood alone on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a ferocious appearance, and a tall and rugged figure. Standing on the edge of the cliff, he looks domineering, like an evil tiger in the night, exuding a mighty and domineering kingly demeanor.
"Pullingleng~"
A gigantic goshawk descended from the sky, shrunk in mid-air and transformed into a human form. It landed lightly on the top of the mountain, knelt down on one knee and said, "I would like to report to you, Lord Demon Saint. As expected, all the tribes of the Witch Clan have now We’ve started taking action, what should we do next?”
"What else can we do? Of course we can lure Yu Yuan there."
The middle-aged man who was called the Demon Saint said without looking back: "Yin Shisan, Yin Shisan, you have been following me for so many years, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"
After Yin Shisan transformed into a human form, he was slender and short, with an eagle nose, small eyes, and a sinister face. Hearing this, he quickly smiled and said: "The Demon Saint is unparalleled in his ingenuity, how can I see your plan?"
"Haha, I guess you can talk."
The middle-aged man seemed to be quite satisfied with this crude flattery. He turned around and looked at Yin Shisan and said proudly: "They all want to use me to kill Yu Yuan. They really think that I am a fool. They think that I am a fool." I don’t see their intention to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
I bother!
If it weren't for the chaos clock... ahem, if it wasn't for the sake of past friendship, I wouldn't even pay attention to it. "
"Yes, yes, Lord Demon Saint, you value friendship too much!" Yin Shisan nodded repeatedly, "Back then, our demon clan was expelled to Beiju Luzhou. Thanks to your protection, we were allowed to live in danger here. The land has survived... If it weren't for you, sir, I'm afraid the demon clan would have been completely destroyed."
Yingzhao Demon Saint waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is my duty to protect the demon clan. There is nothing to say about it... Go ahead and pass on my order. No one in the demon clan will be in trouble with Yu Yuan. Just wait for the opportunity on the periphery.
After those barbarian witches kill Yu Yuan, we will kill the remnants of the witch clan and take back the Chaos Bell fragments!
In this case, if those Jie Jiao Immortals come to our door, it will be none of our business.
Do you understand everything? "
"I understand, I understand!" Yin Shisan nodded quickly and said, "My lord, your method of framing someone and killing someone with a borrowed knife is even more clever than Lord Bai Ze!
Don't worry, my subordinates will go and pass on the orders, and they will never let those rough guys ruin your plans! "
…
At the same time, Yu Yuan also figured it out.
If you get it, take it!
A fine acquired high-grade spiritual treasure, and an extremely rare treasure that protects the soul, don’t give it up for free!
He put the rosary away without thinking about the purpose of Saint Zhunti, and his thoughts turned back to the fragments of the Chaos Clock.
At this moment, he has chased to the northern wilderness, but he didn't even see the shadow of the demon king or demon god along the way.
Moreover, this place was barren and barren, and even if he wanted to ask a monster, he couldn't.
But in an instant he thought of someone.
The Great Water Ape Sage Wuzhiqi who was imprisoned by him in a pure glass bottle was also a famous demon god at the time, and he might be related to these monsters in Beiju Luzhou.
He sent out a ray of spiritual thought to penetrate into the pure glass bottle, and happened to see Wuzhi Qi studying the nail-head Seven Arrows book carefully.
"Ahem!"
Yu Yuan deliberately made some noise, and Wuzhi Qi, as if he had been caught for deserting during class, immediately stuffed the Seven Arrows Book into the pile of divine materials beside him, and then grabbed a piece of dragon-patterned red gold to refine.
"Busy?"
Yu Yuan pretended not to see it and said hello with a smile.
Wuzhiqi snorted and said coldly: "How long do you want to lock me up?"
"Do you really want to go out that much?" Yu Yuan said nonchalantly: "Then let's do this. You do ten things for me, and I'll let you go after that."
Wuzhiqi's eyes lit up and he said: "Ten items are too many, two at most!"
"Nine pieces!"
"three item!"
"Six pieces for one price! No more!"
"Okay! Six pieces, six pieces! I hope you can do what you say!"
"Don't worry, I, Yu Yuan, am the most trustworthy! Do you want me to swear an oath to you?"
"No need to swear, I never believe in that!"
Wuzhiqi dropped the dragon-patterned red gold in his hand, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Yu Yuanyi pointedly said: "Now I really need your help with a small matter... Do you know anything about the demon clan in Beiju Luzhou?"
"Of course!" Wuzhiqi said proudly: "I remember that when I had not yet attained Daluo, I personally went to Beiju Luzhou to fight with various demon kings in order to sharpen my own Taoism... Beiju Luzhou's The thirty-six demon gods and the seventy-two cave demon kings are all familiar to me!
Of course, after so many years, I don’t know whether they are still here or not. "
Yu Yuan did the math and found that Wuzhi Qi was suppressed at the bottom of Guishan when Dayu was controlling the floods. It has indeed been a long time now.
Vicissitudes of life, personnel changes.
Nothing stays the same.
Yu Yuan shared his perspective with Wuzhi Qi with the attitude of giving it a try.
The latter looked at it greedily, and then said tentatively: "This should be the northern wilderness, right? It's still so barren and barren."
Yu Yuan nodded and confirmed that the other party had really been to Beiju Luzhou.
"Do you know where the nearest demon god or demon king's cave is? I want to come directly to ask some questions."
Wuzhiqi pondered carefully for a moment and replied: "Among the seventy-two cave demon kings, there is one called the Strong Bull Demon King. His cave is in Kongsang Mountain, thousands of miles southeast of the wilderness. Why don't you go there and see what else he has done?" Are you here?"
"Strong Bull Demon King?"
Yu Yuan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's fine, we're not far away, so let's go to Nakhon Sang Mountain to have a look."
After saying that, he lightly patted the camel's hump. The golden-eyed five-cloud camel understood his intention and immediately changed its direction, turning into a golden cloud and heading toward the southeast.
After leaving the wilderness, the scenery along the way became colorful again.
After a few words of sincerity, he came to Kongsang Mountain under the guidance of Wuzhiqi.
From a distance, I saw a green mountain and green valley hidden in the poisonous fog and miasma ahead.
There are several tall ancient trees standing in the colorful haze, and wild cranes are perched on the branches. On the twists and turns of the path, peppermints hang down and vines spread.
At a glance, it looks like a thousand-year-old monument and a fairyland that has lasted for thousands of years.
At the end of the path is a cave with a closed door. There is a plaque on the door with the three characters "Bajiao Cave" written on it.
"This is it. It seems that the Bull Demon King hasn't moved yet!"
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and after making Wuzhi Qi swear not to escape without authorization, he released him and asked him to come forward and call the door.
Wuzhi Qi couldn't beat him even with a beating, and he made a strong oath, and with the hope of regaining his freedom, he no longer had any thoughts of escaping, and obediently stepped forward and knocked on the stone door loudly.
"Is Brother Niu at home? Brother, I'm here to see you!"
A soft female voice soon came from the cave, "I'm not at home, I wonder who you are?"
"Not at home?" Wu Zhiqi rolled his eyes and continued to knock on the door: "Is Rakshasa's sister-in-law at home? Sister-in-law, please open the door. Brother, I want to come in!"
Yu Yuan stood behind and watched this scene, always feeling as if he had seen it somewhere before.
