In the north of Jiji continent, Dalong Mountain.
It has been more than half a year since Lu Li and his party entered the mysterious place. The core of Dalong Mountain, which was originally filled with the aura of death, has returned to its former peace.
But even so, few people are willing to take risks in a place like Blackwater Pond.
Because even if it is not during the high water period, the Blackwater Pond is a forbidden area for ordinary demon cultivators. A drop of the black lake water can cause skin ulcers, just like venom.
"Are you sure that the saint is here?" Today, such a voice sounded on the top of Wumo Mountain. The speaker was an old man wrapped in a black robe.
Next to the old man in black robes, there were two men in black standing. If they were identified carefully, it would not be difficult to find that these two people were actually the two men who attacked Lu Li and Satsuma Qingqing at night.
"That's true, but the people around the saint are very tight. No. 9 and I joined forces and couldn't take Satsuma Qingqing away from him. No. 1, I feel that even you may not be able to get it. Get rid of him, how about we inform the Changji branch?" The man in black robe on the east side looked at the lake below and said in a deep voice.
It seemed that the three of them were from some organization, and the old man in black robe in the middle seemed to be stronger than the two on the left and right.
"You can't even take me down?" The old man in black robe in the middle raised his eyebrows and glanced at the former: "Did you know that I was the one who assassinated the powerful Demon Lord? Although it was only the early stage, he was still a real Demon Lord."
"Of course I know your heroic deeds, otherwise how would you deserve to be number one.
However, I still have to say, that guy is really no small matter.
And we have already failed once, so he must be more vigilant. If he fails again, he may have to stay here.
So I think some things still need to be prepared in advance. "The man in black robe to the east looked calm and said calmly.
The black-robed No. 9 in the west also nodded when he heard this: "What No. 3 said makes sense. No. 1, you better not be too careless. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that guy is not a rabbit."
"So, that guy is really powerful. Anyway, in that case, do you have any good ideas that can help us successfully capture Satsuma Qingqing?"
Although the old man in black robe in the middle is stronger than both of them, he does not speak in a domineering manner.
However, it is not difficult to tell from the words of the three people that these three people obviously know Satsuma Qingqing, and their goal is very clear, which is to capture Satsuma Qingqing.
This is a bit strange.
Since the three of them knew about Satsuma Qingqing, how could they dare to attack this saint. Could it be that we only know his name but not his true identity?
"I don't have any good ideas yet, but there is one thing that must be done in advance." No. 3 from the east thought thoughtfully.
"What's the matter?"
"Immediately convey this news to the Changji branch. I think that after Satsuma Qingqing leaves this place, he will definitely cross the Tianhe and continue to return north to the Blood Territory. And the Changji continent is a hurdle they can't get around. Even if we fail here, Changji People from the Ji branch can also prepare in advance..."
"Yes. Although your words have a bit of a meaning of 'strengthening others' ambitions and destroying one's own prestige', it is not unreasonable, so let's go with what you say..."
The old man in black robe nodded slightly, then sat cross-legged on the spot, forming a mudra with his hands. Under the surge of black energy around him, an ancient rune appeared in front of him, and he began to mutter something.
…
On the other side, there is a mysterious assessment place.
The world, which is like an ancient battlefield, is filled with a desolate atmosphere.
The scarlet blood moon shed a dark red light, and countless ghost-like monsters wearing armor and wings surged in from all directions like a tide, roaring and attacking the two men and women in the center of the battlefield.
beep! Chida...
The unpleasant flute sound suddenly sounded.
Blood dragons began to scurry back and forth in this world, rolling and roaring.
The blood-red dragon tail swept across the night sky, drawing a dark zone across the space. Dozens of armored monsters had no time to dodge and were instantly shot to pieces.
Satsuma Qingqing was not idle either. She formed a spell with one hand. Three thousand green hairs danced wildly in the wind. Countless black vines spread out from her body, covering the sky and the sun. She slapped and beat the armored monsters one by one. Have to wail again and again.
However, there were too many armored monsters here, and what made Lu Li frown secretly was that these monsters seemed to be impossible to kill. Even if they were broken into pieces, it wouldn't take long for them to regroup and attack the two of them again. Launch an attack.
"Stop fighting, let's go!" Seeing this, Lu Li didn't want to get entangled with these stupid guys. He shouted and grabbed Satsuma Qingqing's arm and disappeared in a flash.
Afterwards, the two of them fought and fled, flying towards the depths of the battlefield.
Less than half an hour later, Lu Li finally broke out of the encirclement and found the exit of this level. He then dodged up without hesitation and flew into the teleportation channel.
Immediately afterwards, the scene changed and they came to the bottom of a stone staircase reaching into the sky.
However, the clouds here are not auspicious clouds, but pitch black, giving people a very depressing feeling.
"But I figured it out, those monsters are so weird that they can't be killed." Satsuma Qingqing clutched her chest and gasped for air, looking like she was still frightened.
Lu Li didn't speak. He raised his head and looked at the stone steps leading to the sky.
This is of course not the mountain with stone steps opposite the fourth level. After more than half a year, he has passed eight levels in a row. If the prediction is correct, the stone steps leading to the sky will be the final test.
As for Dao Xing and Gesang Xing, they failed to break through the golden realm in the fifth level and the thunder realm in the sixth level.
"Congratulations, I didn't expect that you actually passed the eighth level of assessment." At this moment, the figure of the middle-aged man in black robe suddenly reappeared not far in front of the two of them, but he was no longer there. As expressionless as before.
"Greetings, senior." Satsuma Qingqing and Lu Li bowed at the same time.
"Well. As you can see, the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in front of you are the final test. If you can successfully climb to the top, you can get the treasure I left here. As for how much you can get, Again, it depends on your own abilities." The young man in black robe nodded lightly and said calmly.
"Excuse me, senior, what is the final test? Can you give me some tips?" Satsuma Qingqing asked curiously.
At the beginning, the middle-aged man in black robe would not answer their questions at all. However, since the two passed the seventh level, the attitude of the man in black seemed to have changed. As long as the questions were not too outrageous, he would answer them.
"This last level is a bloodline test. There is a gravity law forbidden formation on the stone steps, and it also comes with bloodline pressure. The stronger your bloodline is, the greater your hope of passing the test..."
Bloodline test?
Satsuma Qingqing suddenly became secretly happy.
She is an eight-star throwback, and this level of bloodline power is considered to be the top existence in the demon world. It must not be difficult to pass this level, right?
But Lu Li frowned secretly and said tentatively: "Senior. Junior has some questions, I don't know whether to take them seriously..."
The middle-aged man in black robe looked at Lu Li: "Tell me."
Lu Li thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask, is your senior the legendary Black Demon Emperor?"
The middle-aged man in black robe nodded: "If you want to say that, there is no problem, but this statement is not accurate."
Lu Li suddenly looked curious.
However, the middle-aged man in black robe smiled and said, "There are some rules involved, and I can't explain them here. If you really want to know, you can go through the ninth level first. I will definitely know everything by then... …”
