The person who was speaking to the young woman in palace dress in front of him was a young man in silver armor. Under the silver helmet, his bright eyes emitted two cold rays of light.
As he spoke, the other two men and two women did not say anything, but their eyes showed their approval.
They came here to find out what happened, but the other party was just perfunctory in everything they did, so they almost returned empty-handed.
This was negotiated personally by a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but the other party still seemed indifferent.
The young woman in palace dress who was called "Uncle Shanggong" by the young man in silver armor did not turn around, but an extremely pleasant and melodious voice came from the front.
"They are not being perfunctory, but are extremely worried. If something inexplicable had not happened on the 'Divine Road', they would have definitely made up a perfect excuse to satisfy me.
The heaven and earth are moving
Humph, of course the heaven and earth are moving. Even if all their 'Demon Marshals' attack together, they can't make such a big noise, unless the 'Demon Emperor' comes in person, but..."
The young woman, dressed in a light ink-colored palace dress and with an elegant demeanor, spoke in a lower and lower voice, until in the end she even sounded like she was whispering to herself.
But the people behind were all Jindan cultivators, and since she didn't deliberately isolate them, they could hear it clearly.
"Uncle Master, then... then let's just call it a day?"
The young man in silver armor said hesitantly, and the people behind him looked at each other.
Uncle Shanggong mentioned the so-called "Demon Emperor" of the other party. They are also the core elite disciples of the clan and know some secrets of the Black Demon Clan.
Is there really a "Dark Demon Emperor" still existing in this world
The rules of heaven and earth would not allow such a terrifying existence to appear and would directly expel him from this continent.
The "Demon Emperor" is just a legend. After all, it seems that no one has ever seen the existence of the "Demon Emperor", including the young woman in palace dress who has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in front.
"It seems that Senior Uncle Shanggong is just making a helpless guess about this abnormal change."
Several people thought of this at the same time. The young woman in palace dress seemed to be still lost in thought. After hearing the question from the young man in silver armor, she spoke softly.
"These matters are not for you to interfere in. What you need to do now is to immediately ask the clan to send more monks to assist in the defense.
Disperse the evil spirit at the border with the 'Black Demon Clan', and be careful to prevent the evil spirit from spreading and causing black demon beasts to take the opportunity to kill mortal people.
Also, notify all the big and small sects at the border and ask them to contribute manpower to help set up defenses and kill the infiltrating black monsters..."
Although the young woman in palace dress had a gentle expression, her tone clearly revealed the majesty of a superior, and she gave a series of orders.
After hearing this, the five people behind him dared not say anything more and said yes in unison. For a moment, Yu Ruyi fell into silence again.
The young woman in palace dress continued to think in her heart.
“You know what, even if their cultivation reaches the level of ‘Demon Emperor’, they have many great magical powers that you cannot understand, which allow them to stay in the mortal world.
For example, if one has an incarnation outside of his body, as long as the incarnation's cultivation is lower than the realm of refining emptiness, then he can do it, or if one cultivates incredible supernatural powers such as the ability to transform into a form with divine thoughts... "
The world of immortal cultivation has a strict hierarchy. Even if you are a core disciple of a major sect, before you reach a certain realm, you can only know the basics of some secrets at most.
It’s not that you are not allowed to know, but if you knew it, it would either make you aim too high or be unrealistic, which would be extremely detrimental to your own cultivation.
Or you will be hit so hard that you have no confidence at all. When a cultivator loses confidence, what awaits him is either easy death or premature death and starting the cycle of reincarnation again.
Some secrets may even bring you fatal disaster.
Everything happening now is the same as what happened to Li Yan and others after they heard the identity of the Ancient Wine Flag. Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators were in disbelief because it was beyond their understanding.
"Could it be that there is really a 'Dark Demon Emperor' taking action in the 'Divine Road'? They have always wanted to open up a channel between the two worlds with the Desolate Moon Continent. This is an idea they have wanted to accomplish for a long time.
The 'Divine Road' is the most important core secret of the Black Demon Clan. It contains more than one passage between the two worlds, and is the top priority of the Black Demon Clan.
The intelligence that the tribe obtained at all costs seemed to have confirmed one or two pieces of information about the location of the barrier. Therefore, it could not be confirmed that this change was related to the Desolate Moon Continent.
The 'Divine Road' was heavily blocked, and even the two great elders of the clan were unable to find out what was going on inside.
However, judging from the speed and range of the demonic energy spreading this time, if there is a problem with the 'Divine Road', then the Black Demon Clan may have mobilized the entire clan to do something.
Judging from the current situation, the result is that the Black Demon Clan has suffered heavy losses. Maybe this is the best time to renegotiate with the Black Demon Clan.
I must personally return to the sect to report this to the ancestors, and request that the clan mobilize all its forces to inquire about the situation on the Desolate Moon Continent..."
The young woman in palace dress was thinking rapidly. As the commander-in-chief guarding the border, she immediately rushed to the Black Demon Clan as soon as she received news of a large amount of demonic energy appearing at the border between the two clans yesterday.
The various attitudes of the Dark Demon Clan towards her, as well as the various signs she observed from the Dark Demon Clan, all showed that this matter had a great impact on the Dark Demon Clan.
The other party seemed a little caught off guard. Now even the lieutenants under her felt that there was something wrong with the "Divine Road", but their considerations were not as deep as hers.
“Also, if I take advantage of this opportunity, maybe I can return to the sect early, which is also very possible.
The spiritual energy here is too chaotic. Although there is a spirit gathering formation in my camp to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even my main general's mansion has a separate "spirit gathering formation" that is always running, it is far inferior to the sect's."
The holy, snow-white jade ruyi disappeared like a gust of wind... Under the setting sun, Zhao Min looked at the lake in front of her and fell into deep thought.
The sun here is two times bigger than that in the Desolate Moon Continent, but at night there are only stars, no moon. At least she hasn't seen one at night in the past few days.
Even on sunny days here, the sky is gray all day long and the sun seems listless, like an old man in his twilight years, lifeless.
In the lake, the setting sun in the sky is reflected on it, and the setting sun in the water appears even paler and blurrier.
Zhao Min's eyes were fixed on the rippling waves in the lake, somewhat absent-minded.
Now it is the third day since she came here, and not only has Li Yan not woken up, but his breath is gradually fading.
However, with the help of elixirs and Zhao Min's continuous nourishment of spiritual energy, his body has healed by as much as 60%. This has to be said to be an extremely abnormal thing.
In the past two days, Zhao Min has used up all the elixirs she could, and she even used some poisonous insects.
He used an unconventional approach to devour the necrotic flesh and blood, and even the blocked spiritual power in Li Yan's body, but these could not wake Li Yan up.
"It must be that his soul was really hurt..."
After a long time, Zhao Min murmured, she looked at the gray sky for a while, then slowly walked to Li Yan's side, just looking at the sleeping Li Yan.
About half a cup of tea later, Zhao Min suddenly made a strange move.
She turned around, with her back to Li Yan, and first took out an extremely small storage bag from her arms.
This storage bag is much smaller than the sachet used by her daughter's family. Zhao Min keeps it close to her body, probably to distinguish it from the other storage bags around her waist, or to give it more importance.
Zhao Min looked at the small storage bag in her hand, raised her beautiful black eyebrows, and showed a rare hesitation in her eyes.
After biting her lower lip with her snow-white teeth, a look of determination finally appeared in her clear eyes.
A flash of spiritual power appeared on her jade-like fingers, and a translucent light red thread emerged from the small storage bag. The next moment, she grasped it in her hand.
If you don't look closely, you would think that Zhao Min was holding a piece of nothingness. If it weren't for the faint red layer on it, it would be difficult to detect with the naked eye even if it was very close.
The light red thread was about the thickness of two or three hairs twisted together, about an inch long, and looked like a dead object.
Then, Zhao Min quickly made a gesture in the air with her other hand, and a light red rune quickly formed in her hand.
The rune exuded a rich spiritual energy, giving people an extremely ethereal feeling. With a flick of Zhao Min's finger, the rune was flicked onto the light red filament.
As soon as the light red rune touched the filament, the filament, which was originally like a dead object, trembled slightly, and then returned to silence.
At the same time, Zhao Min began to chant softly. The sound she made was very rhythmic, like singing in a low voice, and it was very pleasant to the ears.
Two breaths later, the thin thread that had never moved suddenly began to twist in Zhao Min's slowly opened palm along with the sound of the chanting.
Then, one end of the filament stood up like a snake's head. If someone had very good eyesight, they would be able to see that there was an eye on the upright part.
That eye was filled with confusion and intoxication. Zhao Min's chanting became more rapid, and the frequency of the dancing filaments was also increasing rapidly, getting faster and faster.
Finally, the light red filament turned into a swaying shadow.
At this moment, the chanting in Zhao Min's mouth suddenly turned into a sharp whistle, and as the whistle just started, it stopped abruptly, like a bowstring suddenly breaking.
The dancing thread suddenly stopped as Zhao Min's sharp roar stopped, and in an instant, it separated into two thinner light red threads.
They were like two slender little snakes with their tails coiled in Zhao Min's palms, their upper bodies standing upright, but their heads were still rubbing against each other.
The eye on top of his head stared at the other person's eyes without leaving his gaze, as if he didn't care about anything else at all.
Soon after Zhao Min finished her singing, the two pink threads rubbed against her head several times, and then began to merge together from the head.
Zhao Min moved very quickly. A layer of blue air immediately surged out from her white palm. As soon as this air appeared, it instantly formed an ancient seal character that was difficult to recognize.
The moment the ancient seal characters appeared, Zhao Min quickly raised her other hand, spiritual power surged on her slender index finger, and a trace of pain appeared on Zhao Min's face.
Then, a drop of blood essence condensed by her appeared on the tip of her finger, emitting astonishingly pure spiritual energy, making the surrounding space fresh and ethereal.
Essence and blood are the most important foundation for cultivators besides their souls. A cultivator who is building his foundation can only condense about ten drops of blood in his body.
This drop of blood consumed 10% of Zhao Min's blood and energy, which had already caused severe damage to her bones.
A flash of pain flashed across Zhao Min's jade-like face with soft lines, but a pale look still appeared.
The spiritual energy in her body quickly flowed through her tendons and veins, and then returned to normal, as if this drop of essence and blood had not been detached from her body and condensed at all.
Then, she immediately bounced this drop of blood towards the ancient seal characters. As soon as the blood touched the ancient seal characters, a layer of foggy red color appeared inside the blue characters, like a dream, and the whole characters looked a little weird.
As the essence and blood were absorbed, the next moment, the blue characters immediately began to rotate. With just one rotation, the characters completely separated the two light red filaments that had begun to reintegrate.
