puff!
The Heaven-Swallowing Sword shone brightly and cut a powerful demon in a black robe into two halves. Then, the sword flashed in the void and flew back to Ling Xiao's hand.
"This is already the third wave of demons! The Red Lotus Valley is just ahead. There are so many powerful demons. It seems that the Red Lotus Valley is not simple!"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he thought secretly.
Since he entered the Red Lotus Valley, he encountered three waves of powerful demons in a short period of time. After seeing him, they rushed towards him without any hesitation. However, the strongest of these demons was only at the level of God King, so they were all killed by Ling Xiao quickly.
Ling Xiao instinctively realized that the Red Lotus Valley was not simple, as there were so many powerful demons.
"Hmm? There are powerful people from the Ghost Demon Clan collecting Red Lotus Karma Fire and Calamity Energy in the Red Lotus Valley?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of sharpness.
After he killed the powerful demons, although most of them were unaware of the actions of the demons due to their low status, Ling Xiao still discovered some situations in the Red Lotus Valley from the memory of a demon king.
He turned out to be a powerful man from the Ghost Demon Clan. He collected the Red Lotus Karma Fire and Calamity Energy in the Red Lotus Valley, and even captured many powerful humans, forcing them to work for the Ghost Demon Clan.
"Why do the demons want to collect the Red Lotus Karma Fire and Calamity Energy? Logically speaking, the Red Lotus Karma Fire should be the natural enemy and nemesis of the demons!"
King Lei Ling was also somewhat confused.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire is extremely terrifying, and is related to the legendary power of cause and effect. Once contaminated by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, even those who claim to be perfect in Buddhism will be burned to ashes, not to mention the demons.
It can be said that there is no demon who is not afraid of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, especially the ghost demons, who are tainted by countless sins and causes and effects. As long as they are touched by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, even a true ghost saint may not be able to withstand it.
"I don't know! I'm afraid the Demonic Tribe has some plan. I'll go into the Red Lotus Valley to investigate first!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he spoke slowly.
King Lei Ling was hiding in Ling Xiao's body, and the Purple Lightning Thunder Lion was too big and easily exposed, so Ling Xiao also put the Purple Lightning Thunder Lion into the Wordless Heavenly Book. He performed the secret art of covering the sky, restrained his aura, and quietly sneaked into the Red Lotus Valley.
The Red Lotus Valley is a huge valley formed by rolling hills. It is hundreds of thousands of miles in radius and is extremely vast. But when Ling Xiao approached the Red Lotus Valley, he felt a burning breath, which was a fluctuation that made even his soul feel extremely hot.
Red Lotus Karma Fire!
The power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire is indeed hidden in the Red Lotus Valley.
"Hurry up and work! If you dare to slack off again, he will be your fate!"
A cold rebuke sounded in Ling Xiao's ears. Ling Xiao's heart moved and he quietly walked towards that direction.
In front of a hill, there was a group of powerful demons wearing black robes. They were filled with ghostly aura and had cruel and bloodthirsty eyes. Each of them held a black whip and kept whipping a group of humans with handcuffs and shackles.
Those humans were covered in blood and wounds, and their eyes were filled with anger but they dared not speak. They could only grit their teeth and chisel open the hill in front of them, taking out pieces of red stone from it.
Then they mobilized the divine power in their bodies, stretched out their hands to draw a wisp of red illusory flame from the stone, burned his hands to pieces, and then hurriedly put it into a jade bottle they carried with them.
In the distance, there was a huge flagpole, hundreds of feet high, with a black skull flag flying, looking extremely hideous and terrifying. On the flagpole were hung human heads, thousands of them, and each of them had a look of pain, anger, and unwillingness to close their eyes, with their eyes wide open.
Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly became extremely cold.
"Damn it, demon clan!"
A murderous intent surged in Ling Xiao's heart.
These ghosts and demons captured so many powerful human beings from nowhere, sealed their cultivation, put handcuffs and shackles on them, and forced them to consume their life essence to absorb the red lotus fire from the ores.
Ling Xiao could feel that within those red lotus karmic fires, there were also wisps of calamity energy intertwined.
The process of absorbing the Red Lotus Karma Fire is extremely painful. Not only does it consume the essence of life, but one will also be burned by the Red Lotus Karma Fire. It is not just a simple matter of having one's skin torn apart, even the soul will be burned, causing excruciating pain.
But in order to survive, those humans could only endure it silently.
Ling Xiao could feel that most of those humans were at the True God Realm and God King Realm, and there were very few Semi-Saints, only two or three of them. Obviously, it would be difficult for the Ghost Demon Clan to capture Semi-Saints.
However, Ling Xiao could feel that there were many mines like this in the Red Lotus Valley. Many powerful ghosts and demons served as supervisors, supervising the humans who absorbed the red lotus' karma fire and calamity energy. If they did not do so, they would be whipped and kicked.
Ling Xiao resisted the urge to rush forward and kill all those powerful ghost and demon clan members, and instead observed carefully.
The supervisors of these ghost and demon tribes have the cultivation level of only the Demon King, and there are other commanders behind them. Ling Xiao wants to find out what the ghost and demon tribes are planning.
Soon, Ling Xiao saw a supervisor from the Demon Clan who put all the Red Lotus Karma Fire collected by the human race into a black gourd, and then took the gourd and headed towards the depths of the Red Lotus Valley.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed and he followed quietly.
The deeper he went, the more powerful Ghost Demons Ling Xiao discovered. There were even Semi-Saints leading patrols. The place was heavily guarded and no one could get in at all.
But the stricter the security, the more it means that the demon clan has some unspeakable secrets.
The demon overseer came all the way to the depths of the Red Lotus Valley and finally stopped in front of an ancient stone tower.
The stone tower has a total of nine floors and is hundreds of feet high. It exudes a ghostly aura and is extremely terrifying. Ling Xiao also feels a hint of the mysterious and cold holy breath from it. This stone tower is also a treasure.
There were dozens of supervisors from the Demon Clan, all standing in line in front of the stone tower, each holding a black gourd in their hands.
"Ghost Three, today I harvested three hundred Red Lotus Karma Fires and thirty Tribulation Qis, and I will be rewarded with three Ghost Spirit Pills!"
"Ghost Sixteen, today I have harvested 1,700 Red Lotus Karma Fires and 170 Tribulation Qis, and I will be rewarded with 17 Ghost Spirit Pills!"
"… "
An ice-cold voice sounded from the stone tower. Ling Xiao could vaguely see a tall figure in a black robe. He had a strong aura and had reached the level of a third-level half-saint.
And those ghost and demon overseers who had handed over the Red Lotus Karma Fire and Calamity Energy, after receiving the Ghost Spirit Pill, all showed expressions of ecstasy and left the stone tower with numerous thanks.
