In the hilly area south of Beihao Mountain, the panicked Meng Ji bumped and bumped all the way, finally finding the direction of the hills, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Ji turned around to look, and saw that the horizon already had the pale color of dawn, but something strange soon happened. As a layer of clouds passed by, the sunrise that was just about to break was submerged and replaced by a haze.
The evil aura was so strong and rolling in that Meng Ji was horrified at just one glance.
"Damn it, wasn't her magic power restricted? How could she suddenly loosen the restriction?" Meng Ji punched the ground hard, a look of regret overflowing on his face. If only he could kill Taotie at all costs. If you kill him, you won't be in trouble now.
Although Meng Ji regretted it, he could see that the evil spirit from the sky was approaching this place very quickly. He knew that he could not delay any longer. At this point, he could only give it a try. Once he successfully entered the Hedao realm, he would no longer need to be afraid of Taotie. The key to success lies in the caves under the hills.
In his early years, when he was crushed out of the Stone Mountain by Taotie and became a bereaved dog, he had nowhere to go and ended up living in Beihao Mountain near the east. Because of his cultivation strength, no group of monsters dared to resist. In this way, in the barren and desolate east, Meng Ji occupied the mountains and became the king, and lived a decent life.
Until two years ago, a rat spirit came from the north and landed secretly at the foot of the southern hills of Beihao Mountain. The rat, with its long, sharp eyebrows and eyes, thought that its whereabouts were flawless, and thought that no one was there in the huge Beihao Mountain. After discovering his traces, Meng Ji knew everything about him from the moment he entered the mountain.
You must know that since he occupied the entire Beihao Mountain, the monsters on the entire mountain are extremely jealous and afraid of him. However, this rat spirit prefers to go to Tiger Mountain even though he knows that there are tigers in the mountain. Naturally, Meng Jiduo has a cautious mind. After all, with his cultivation in the Void Return Realm, he is a rare existence in the entire Beishan Jingyao Realm. Just because he angered Taotie, many mountains turned away from Meng Ji, fearing that the disaster would be diverted to the east.
And when this rat spirit came to Beihao Mountain, he lived in seclusion, digging holes under the hills in the south every day and night. At first, Meng Ji thought that this kid was planning to settle down here, but upon closer inspection, he found that It was discovered that this guy's uncanny craftsmanship was actually a complex spirit-retaining formation. This made Meng Ji extremely happy. You must know that the spirit-rejecting formation has always been in the hands of those famous sects, and there is no sect foundation. Inheritance, such a unique and rare formation is extremely rare.
In this way, Meng Ji did not interfere with the signs of the rat spirit's activities, but became more curious about his origins and behavior. Later, after the rat spirit completed the spirit-rejecting formation, he began to set off towards the east. After a few months, Meng Ji realized that he wanted to find the place of prison, but he had no direction and could not find the specific location.
So Meng Ji took the initiative to find the rat spirit and confessed everything he knew during this period. Under the threat of force, Meng Ji finally found out that the name of the rat spirit was Xuance. However, what surprised him even more was that he didn't expect it. Xuance came from the Divine Jue Palace, and was actually a close disciple of Patriarch Jiutun.
At this point, Meng Ji didn't have many thoughts. He just coveted the spirit-rejecting magic circle created by Xuance. Since he didn't know the location of the prison method, he naturally knew it, so under coercion and inducement, he asked Xuance to do it for him. Continuing to maintain the operation of the spirit-rejecting magic circle, on the one hand, he secretly sneaked into the land of prison and captured some of the ghosts of monsters here to achieve his unknown purpose.
Because the place of Prison Law is the cemetery where all the demon souls in the world return to their hometown, Prison Law has always been known as a forbidden place in the demon world. In addition to the horror in the depths of Prison Law, the dead are the most important, not to mention those deceased monsters. In the demon world of Beishan, all beasts are of the same kind, so naturally no one will bother them rashly.
In addition, the prison law is a place where the souls of monsters and beasts gather, and the yin energy is very strong. It is still safe at the edge of the outside world. If you accidentally stray into the depths, you may be completely buried here and become the nourishment of the ghosts. Then it turned into a wisp of yin energy in the prison law.
In the past two years, Meng Ji has been constantly wandering on the edge of prison law in order to break through his own shackles. Although he has captured the ghosts of many monsters and imprisoned them here, the effect on him is still minimal and the effect is not Significantly.
In order to gain more power and cannibalize those deceased demons,
Meng Ji would often risk his life to get close to the depths of the Prison Law. Fortunately, the bigger the storm, the higher the rewards. Not only were there hundreds of ghosts in the depths, but he also once successfully captured a thousand-year-old ghost. , and after being brought back to the spirit-rejecting array, Meng Ji benefited a lot from the array's unique spiritual energy conversion, and the bottleneck became looser.
But such an adventure is not a long-term solution after all. Meng Ji once again tried to get closer to the depths of the Prison Law, but later suffered a big loss. If he hadn't relied on self-destruction of his own magic weapon, he might have revealed where he was. Fortunately, there After a while, Meng Ji also successfully captured the soul of a three-thousand-year-old monster beast, which made him ecstatic and even felt that it was worth the money.
It's just that this three-thousand-year-old dead soul already has a certain degree of consciousness and intelligence, and is ferocious and terrifying. Meng Ji imprisoned it in the spirit-rejecting magic circle and struggled to absorb it. During this period, he asked Xuance to increase the formation. With the power of Xuan Ce, with his current skills, he could not expand the formation at all. In desperation, Meng Ji could only imprison him in it, hoping that with the spiritual power of the formation, he could one day exhaust this thousand-year-old soul. of hostility.
It was just that the situation was imminent. Now that Taotie had regained her magic power, she would definitely not let him go due to her temperament. Moreover, the two of them were already fighting to the death. So far, they could only resort to dangerous tactics and fight to the death.
Meng Ji narrowed his eyes, and after watching the black energy chasing clouds and lightning in the distance for a while, his figure flashed and he went straight to the entrance of the cave in front of him.
While walking quickly, Meng Ji suddenly sniffed his nose lightly, and something strange filled his mind. It seemed that besides him, there was some other kind of aura. Before he could think about it carefully, Meng Ji swept towards the depths of the cave. After a while, I saw an open space more than ten feet wide suddenly appeared in the huge underground.
The surroundings were dim and the vision was weak. Looking through the shimmering light from the holes in the ground from time to time, I saw an iron cage floating in the air in the center of the open space. There was a will-o'-the-wisp hidden in it, but now the will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have lost its energy. God, apart from bursts of fire flashing across his body, there wasn't much difference.
Meng Ji flew up and immediately came to the iron cage. As if he sensed something, the black fire in the iron cage suddenly exploded and illuminated the entire underground space. The light was dazzling, like daylight.
"It's you!" A hoarse roar sounded from inside the iron cage.
Meng Ji looked at the will-o'-the-wisp with cold eyes, and then his eyes gradually became firmer.
"This spirit-rejecting array is known as one of the eight wonders of ancient times. I didn't expect that it has been unable to refine you for so long. You have indeed exceeded my expectations." Meng Ji said slowly.
The will-o'-the-wisp hit the iron cage from top to bottom, causing bursts of dust and smoke, and gravel rolling down.
"If you want to eat it, I won't be afraid of holding it on my own. Are you worthy?" The ghost fire must have understood its situation, and after struggling for a while, it gradually became quiet.
Meng Ji looked at him coldly and ignored the taunting of the dead soul. He just spread his hands. As the cyan mark on his forehead expanded, Meng Ji's body was soon torn apart. Slowly, it was actually Transformed into his true form.
A snow-white monster suddenly appeared, shaped like a wild leopard, with the cyan mark still on its forehead, and it was extremely eye-catching.
Until this moment, the will-o'-the-wisp in the iron cage felt a little frightened. It once again hit the iron cage railing with all its strength and roared, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Meng Ji smiled gloomily and said, "What I will do is, of course, eat you directly. No matter who you are or what you have, since I have no way out, no one can have a good time."
After he finished speaking, the blue marks on Meng Ji's forehead suddenly increased. In just a few blinks, his originally snow-white body was covered with green marks. At this moment, Meng Ji's aura reached an unprecedented height, and he was domineering.
The dead soul in the cage seemed to feel the destructive aura. When he saw that he had done nothing, he could only scream at the top of his voice, "I promise you, I promise you!"
Meng Ji was stunned. He didn't know how this dead soul could go crazy. Could it be that he knew he was about to die and went crazy?
When the dead soul saw that no one answered him after shouting for a long time, and saw Meng Ji's aura gradually approaching him, he felt cruel and angrily said to Meng Ji in front of him, "Do you think you will become invincible after eating me?" Is it as easy to enter the Hedao realm as you imagine?
Even if I were completely annihilated, I wouldn't let you have a good life. "
Meng Ji smiled contemptuously and said, "You have already died once, how can you be so greedy for life and afraid of death? You have become a ghost and you have forgotten who you are and you are still here talking scaremongering. If you help me, your merits will be considered complete. As for whether you can enter the Hedao." Realm, you don’t need to worry about this, anyway, when Taotie comes, I will have to risk my life with her."
The dead soul was hysterical, watching his body turn into wisps of smoke flying towards Meng Ji's mouth and nose, which made it suffer so much that it was worse than death.
With the spirit-rejecting array on top, as the body of a ghost, there is nothing I can do.
Just when the dead soul refused to give up its resentment, the iron cage suddenly exploded. Taking this opportunity, the dead soul once again transformed into a ball of will-o'-the-wisps and rushed towards the exit of the crypt, fearing that it would die here.
Meng Ji's eyes widened with anger. He first blocked the exit, then turned his head and looked into a dark cave. Without saying a word, he lit a fire with his hind hooves and shot a stream of light quickly until he forced the two figures back out.
"Oh it's you."
Xuance stood up in embarrassment, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Brother, if you have something to say, I'm just here to check whether the formation is functioning properly. If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."
After saying that, he was about to pull the toad spirit beside him and run away, but the toad spirit remained motionless and stared at Meng Ji with unconcealed anger, threatening to crush him to ashes.
Xuance was about to cry but had no tears, and sighed in his heart that the two of them were probably doomed.
