In the fifth hall:
After the report by Sansha Taoist, the situation in the field has quietly changed. The previous conflicts between the two camps have disappeared. Instead, the two demon cultivators, Fairy Hongxia and Fairy Feiying, have become the target of public criticism.
Many Jindan monks are already extremely wary of the two of them——
The two female cultivators, Hongxia and Feiying, received information from the temple because they were part of the demon clan. However, they knew nothing about this information. This meant that the two demon cultivators unilaterally enjoyed a huge intelligence advantage.
In this case, if they are not careful, they may be led into the pit of fire, and no one dares to believe the words of the two demon cultivators anymore.
But facing Bai Hong Sword Immortal’s questioning and everyone’s eager stares:
"……Ah."
Fairy Xiaguang was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed:
"Sure enough, everything is easy to cover up, but coincidence is not easy to cover up."
When she said this, her smile faded, her eyes swept over everyone, and she said calmly:
"It's a pity that your reaction was too late. After all, it was greed that caused you to enter this palace."
Before she finished speaking, an emerald token flew out of her arms, suddenly emitting thousands of rays of light and sweeping across the entire hall in an instant.
Zhang Yao's eyes flashed, and when he saw his surroundings clearly again, he was suddenly surrounded by a vast white mist.
"Now we're in trouble!"
He frowned slightly and looked at the fog in front of him:
"Is this the seventh level, the eighth level, the ninth level, or the last level?"
He has actually guessed the origin of this place - this is probably the confrontational level hinted in the previous message from the shrine.
Although Hongxia and Feiying had evil intentions, their previous words were not all deceptive. Zhang Yao deduced that they should be half truths and half lies.
first:
What Fairy Feiying said about the 'Longevity Alliance' and the mixing of humans and monsters should be true. After all, the Jade Palace did not exclude monks like them, who were of pure human blood, from entering the palace.
Since it is true that humans and monsters live together and jointly dominate the Longevity League, the composition of the monks who came to conduct trials in the palace in ancient times can only be two situations.
The first situation is that among the nine trialists, all are from the demon clan;
The second situation is that not all of the nine trialists are from the demon race. They may be the majority, the minority, or none at all.
Since the great demon who supervised the construction of the Jade Palace had the means to hide from the Wanshou Alliance's supervision and secretly leave a back door, it was impossible not to take this situation into consideration.
"First, the nine demon cultivators reached a consensus, gathered nine jade orders, and obtained the highest authority. Naturally, they can do whatever they want, and cheating is also very simple."
"Second, it is impossible to gather nine Emerald Tokens. In this case, another backdoor is needed, preferably one that can be activated with just one..."
Zhang Yao thought about this and became more and more certain about his judgment.
He was still guessing what the effect would be if the backdoor was activated in the second case, but now he understood it when he saw the white mist.
"The confrontational level here will not have any protection measures. It will not only determine the outcome, but also determine life and death."
"Killing everyone who knows about it can naturally be disguised as fair competition."
Zhang Yao became increasingly vigilant when he thought of this.
He has already tried it. When his spiritual thoughts touch the white mist, it will directly melt. This is equivalent to abolishing the ability of spiritual thoughts to detect, and his eyes cannot peer beyond a foot away.
Normal monks are almost blind in this environment and are at an extremely disadvantageous position in the battle, while those demon cultivators must have a huge advantage.
"Except for me, Man Tiansheng and the Sansha Taoist who is in charge of the Lingbao, everyone else is very dangerous!"
As soon as Zhang Yao thought of this, he took control of the escape light and flew into the sky, choosing a direction to fly away at will.
The top priority is to join up with the other Jindan monks who have been dragged into this level to increase their own strength to avoid being defeated one by one.
However, after Zhang Yaofei escaped for a moment, he gave up this behavior and fell to the ground with a frown.
He found himself flying in the white mist, unable to judge the direction and distance. He was running around like a headless fly, and the chance of encountering other people was very slim.
"This is really bad!"
"If all the Golden Core cultivators are unable to join together smoothly, then Ancestor Yuanxu, Baihong Sword Immortal, You Quan and others will be in grave danger!"
"...Ahhh!!"
Just when Zhang Yao was thinking about this, a faint, slightly familiar scream suddenly came from the distance.
"Um?!"
Zhang Yao's expression changed, he suddenly turned around and frowned deeply:
"This voice... seems to be that of Bai Hong Sword Immortal?"
The advantage of sword cultivators is that they are extremely fast and flexible. They can hit when they want and run away when they want. Their flying swords are also extremely powerful and can kill people's heads in an instant.
But in this white mist, Sword Immortal could not bring out his greatest advantage. Instead, he exposed his shortcomings and became the first target to be targeted.
Zhang Yao's expression became solemn.
During the last exploration, Fairy Xiaguang did not activate this backdoor because she was not sure that she could kill everyone, especially when Taoist Sansha had obtained the spiritual treasure.
But this time, after she and Fairy Feiying joined forces, the situation was completely different.
In a normal fight, few cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Core could fight one against two, let alone in such a disadvantageous environment, where a secret attack would be invincible. How could they fight against the two demonic cultivators of the Golden Core joining forces?
Not to mention, Fairy Feiying may not be the only one joining forces with Fairy Xiaguang...
"That's all, let's wait and see."
"No matter what means they have, they just have to stay the same to cope with the changes."
As soon as Zhang Yao thought about this, he just stood there with his hands behind his back, waiting for the enemy to come.
This wait lasted for most of an hour.
"ah!"
There was another short and shrill scream.
Zhang Yao judged that it was the voice of the weapon cultivator You Quan. It sounded particularly miserable, as if he had been tortured.
"...Even this guy is dead."
Zhang Yao's expression darkened.
In less than an hour, Baihong Sword Immortal, Yuanxu Patriarch, and You Quan died one after another.
He was now certain that the scream before death was deliberately created by Fairy Xiaguang and spread through the white mist, otherwise they would not have heard it.
"Deliberately creating psychological pressure? What a kid's trick."
Zhang Yao sneered in his heart and continued to wait where he was.
After about half a quarter of an hour:
"Wow..."
Suddenly, violent mana fluctuations came from the surroundings, and the white mist dispersed in a small area.
Three or four feet away, a figure suddenly jumped out, covered in blood, with tattered clothes, looking in a state of utter disarray.
"Haihe?"
Zhang Yao's expression changed and he spoke quickly.
Ancestor Haihe was about to pass by him, but just missed him. After spotting him, he was instantly ecstatic:
"Qingxu! It's you! Great!"
As he spoke, he used the escape light to get closer to Zhang Yao, still shouting:
"Be careful! Those two bitches are hiding in the surrounding fog..."
"Boom!!"
Before Ancestor Haihe could say anything, he was interrupted by the deafening roar of a thunderstorm!
Zhang Yao suddenly took action without warning, eight purple thunder balls flew and exploded, and an overwhelming sea of thunder bombarded down!
At such a short distance, Patriarch Haihe was caught off guard and had no time to retreat or dodge!
"Qingxu! Are you crazy?!"
Ancestor Haihe roared in fright and rage, but his movements did not hesitate at all. The magic power around him seemed to have been running and waiting for a long time.
"Crash..."
When he saw the powerful mana rushing, nine layers of huge waves were developed, quickly turning from virtual to real, one layer after another, forming an iron wall and a copper wall.
Not only that:
"Boom!" "Buzz!"
In the midst of lightning and flint, a red hairpin and a veil like sunset flew out of the sleeves of Patriarch Haihe, and the brilliance shone brightly!
The two magic weapons cooperated with the magical power of Patriarch Haihe to fight against Zhang Yao's 'Destroying Divine Thunder' that suddenly launched an attack! !
"Rumble..."
After a short moment of stalemate, Lei Ze Wangyang began to gain the upper hand, suppressing the three golden elixirs and losing ground!
"What?!"
Ancestor Haihe was so horrified that he no longer dared to confront Zhang Yao and retreated directly, hiding in the white mist while flickering.
"puff!"
Because he forcibly withdrew his magic power and the energy backfired, he spat out a mouthful of blood, but his figure disappeared without a trace.
The two magic weapons, the crimson hairpin and the sunset gauze, also rushed into the surrounding white mist in an instant, leaving only the roaring sea of thunder still raging in place.
"Hmph! Rat!"
Zhang Yao snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and dispersed the Divine Killing Thunder, and glanced around:
"Do you think that by hiding in this fog, there is nothing the poor can do to you?"
"...giggle."
Suddenly a burst of laughter like silver bells came from the white mist, it was Xiaguang:
"You are indeed the famous Ancestor Qingxu. Your magical powers are really an eye-opener for me and others!"
"I think you must have an earth-shattering opportunity. It really makes me salivate..."
Her voice was scattered in the surrounding white fog, making it impossible to judge the direction and distance.
"Qingxu..."
The voice of Patriarch Haihe came next, but it was a bit low and unfamiliar:
"How did you find out? When?"
"You have too many flaws!"
Zhang Yao stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"The first flaw was when I bumped into Taoist Sansha and his group on the Emerald Lake."
"In the Battle of Cangjiang Shuifu, I fought side by side with Master Haihe. I remember every detail clearly."
"That battle can be said to be the turning point in the life of Zhenren Haihe. He lost his beloved disciple who was as close as his son, and formed a deadly feud with Yu Wentai. At the same time, he regained the treasure and jade, and was able to return to the mountain gate after a hundred years."
"This memory must be unforgettable for him and will never be forgotten."
"But you didn't show any surprise or surprise at the reappearance of Man Tiansheng, who was extremely important in this battle. You didn't even discuss it with me. It's like you don't know him!"
"At that time, I had already become suspicious of you. I suspected that you were not Zhenren Haihe at all!"
'Ancestor Haihe' was silent and did not respond.
Zhang Yao glanced around and continued:
"Later, at the first level of the Jade Palace, Taoist Sansha reminded me that one of you and Fairy Xiaguang had a problem, which further deepened my suspicion."
"And your second flaw is even more obvious..."
