Li Yan immediately thought of Zhao Min. If he was noticed by a Yuanying from the "Holy Demon Palace", he would be in big trouble.
An ancient sect that can compete with the Black Demon Clan alone, if they don't want Zhao Min to leave, what else can he do
They used the power of the entire Wild Moon Continent to be able to deal with part of the invading force of the Black Demon Clan, and even so, they almost destroyed the entire world of immortal cultivation.
From this, one can imagine the horror and terror of the power of this "Holy Demon Palace".
Under the "Holy Demon Palace" there are also large and small branches of the White Demon Clan, as well as small sects and small families.
There are many Nascent Soul cultivators in these sects and families, and they all obey the command of the "Holy Demon Palace".
Li Yan only hoped that Zhao Min would eventually fall into these sects and families, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity and take Zhao Min away.
However, Li Yan was not so arrogant as to think that he could easily take Zhao Min away just because the other party was from a small sect or a small family.
What he needs to do now is to confirm Zhao Min's location, and then work out a more detailed rescue plan step by step.
Li Yan also learned about the more detailed divisions of the demon race from these classics.
Both the Black Demon Clan and the White Demon Clan are managed and ruled by large armies. There will also be a small number of monks of other races in the army. These foreign monks all come from races that have close contacts with the demons.
At the same time, the two tribes have different divisions of cultivation. The White Demon Clan’s army does not use titles such as demon soldiers, demon leaders, demon generals, and demon commanders to differentiate levels.
It is divided according to the oldest levels in the world of immortal cultivation: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core and Nascent Soul, which is the same as the cultivators in the Wild Moon Continent.
From this, we can know that the White Demon Clan belongs to a very ancient heritage. Li Yan finally understood that the classification of the demon clan in the Wild Moon Continent was wrong.
First of all, the Wild Moon Continent has always been facing invasions from the Black Demon Clan, so it has a wrong perception of the Demon Realm.
The statement that below the demon soldiers are demon beasts and the corresponding demon cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage are wrong, as the demons are not upgraded from demon beasts.
Warcraft is a general term used by humans to refer to other non-human beasts. For example, the "Incandescent Demonic Tiger" carried by Teng Wuji is a race of Warcraft.
Just like Li Yan believed at the beginning, those magic cultivators were promoted from high-level magic beasts, while the "Incandescent Magic Tiger" and others were medium- and low-level magic beasts, which were suppressed by the demon bloodline.
The demons are a race in themselves. The Qi Condensation cultivators of the Black Demon Clan who are able to embark on the path to immortality are called "Demon Condensers", which means people who have just started on the path of demon cultivation.
The "Demon Condenser" is too weak and cannot reach the Desolate Moon Continent through the cracks in the Yinmo Cliff.
Therefore, the cultivators on the Wild Moon Continent had never seen the appearance of such low-level cultivators, and even people like Wei Chongran might not know about them.
But this kind of thing may not be a secret to the Nascent Soul and God Transformation cultivators. They may even know that the demon world is divided into two demon clans, black and white.
However, there is not much significance in explaining such things. Instead, it will make some cultivators in the Wild Moon Continent believe that not all the people in the Demon Realm are enemies, thus weakening their sense of solidarity against the enemy.
In this way, for a long time, the magic cultivators were demonized in the Desolate Moon Continent. Their cruelty and bloodthirstiness made the origin of the demon race simple.
Eventually, it became a rumor that the demons evolved from low-level ferocious creatures such as demon beasts, which was consistent with the brutal characteristics of the demons.
The Black Demon Clan and the White Demon Clan are no longer mortal enemies nowadays. Although battles break out on the border from time to time, they are basically small-scale battles.
According to the records in the classics that Li Yan had read, the last major war took place more than 2,600 years ago.
Many sects and cultivators of the Black Demon Clan and the White Demon Clan have had private dealings with each other, such as exchanges between sects, or the buying and selling of some cultivation resources.
Some of the Black Demon Clan's special cultivation resources do not carry any demonic energy, but are produced in the eastern region. These things are needed by the cultivators in the western region under the jurisdiction of the White Demon Clan.
The other part is raw materials with demonic energy. As long as the demonic energy is not too much or too violent, it can be an excellent raw material for refining equipment and pills.
This mainly depends on how the equipment refiners and alchemists make use of it. They can also use the violent demonic energy to increase the attack power of magic weapons or the overbearing medicinal power of elixirs.
Similarly, many of the raw materials from the White Demon Clan are also needed by the Black Demon Clan.
However, this kind of communication usually occurs in private. It is not explicitly encouraged between the "Holy Demon Palace" and the "Demon God Temple", but it is not strictly prohibited either.
At the same time, the "Holy Demon Palace" of the White Demon Clan still has some control over the raw materials coming from the east.
If the demonic energy in the opponent's raw materials is too concentrated or in large quantities, the "Holy Demon Palace" will intervene and even impose severe sanctions. After all, they don't want a large number of cultivators who rely on demonic energy to practice to appear in the West unknowingly in the future.
Apart from buying and selling raw materials, the two sides basically ignored the exchange of skills between the lower sects.
After all, this is a necessary path of training for cultivators. It is rare for an opponent to appear and suppress them. Since ancient times, strong people have all come from a path paved with blood.
No matter whether it is the "Demon God Temple" or the "Holy Demon Palace", who would want their disciples to become weaker and weaker
The attitude of both sides now is that even if the other side's cultivators come to assassinate them, as long as it does not involve cultivators above the Jindan level, the top leaders of both sides will basically not show up.
After Li Yan finished reading the classics, although he still didn't know much about the Lost Continent, at least he now knew the general outline.
It seems that if he wants to get news about Zhao Min, he must try his best to find out the news at Baidao Tianbao Pavilion in Mingdu City. This is actually the easiest place to start.
The demon clan is managed by a military system, and there are countless strong men in the army. Even if Li Yan wants to go to the vicinity of Shan Yiyuan's village to find the soldiers who appeared that day, the result may not be of much significance.
It is possible that Li Yan would be captured as soon as he showed up near the army.
What's more, those people were all powerful cultivators, and Li Yan was not sure that he could completely deal with any one of them.
The cultivators in this army must have a lot of experience in fighting. They often cannot measure the opponent by their realm. Even if they have just entered the Jindan stage, they are not comparable to ordinary Jindan cultivators. They almost all have strong life-saving trump cards. If they are not careful, they will be killed by the opponent or even fall into endless pursuit.
Li Yan kept judging the various pieces of information in his mind...
On the morning of the third day, Li Yan finally walked out of the room. When he passed by the front hall, he accidentally discovered a few figures that surprised him.
There were six monks with fish heads and human bodies. They were sitting at a window seat in the front hall of the inn, drinking opposite each other.
At the same time when Li Yan discovered several people, the six monks with fish heads and human bodies also saw Li Yan at the same time.
In an instant, several hostile gazes were cast towards Li Yan, four of whom were the foreign monks he met outside the city a few days ago.
Moreover, there were two more monks with the same fish heads and human bodies beside these four people, and their aura was much stronger.
Li Yan roughly sensed that one of the two fish-headed human-bodied cultivators he had never seen before was in the late foundation-building stage, and the other had already reached the false elixir stage, which was considered a half-step golden elixir.
Li Yan felt the cold murderous intent in the gaze, and he sneered in his heart.
"There are many inns in the city. You actually chased us here and brought reinforcements with you. Are you the only ones? Where are the cultivators from other tribes?"
Li Yan remembered that among the foreign monks he had injured that day, there were several monks with gloomy eyes and long snow-white tails, but he didn't know what race they were.
Li Yan thought this in his heart, but he did not stop and continued to walk out with an expressionless face.
In Mingdu City, do these people dare to take action directly? He doesn't have the time to deal with these things.
Seeing that Li Yan simply ignored their existence and looked nonchalant, the fish-headed cultivator whose cultivation had reached the level of fake elixir had a flash of doubt in his eyes.
After they found out that Li Yan was here, they waited for him to leave the city.
At the same time, they came here to confirm Li Yan's cultivation level again, but they didn't want to really hit a wall.
Although the overall strength of the human cultivators seems to be declining, their relationship with the "Holy Demon Palace" is still there.
If we cannot kill the opponent with one blow, and if he escapes, and he has evidence against us, our clan will be in a lot of trouble.
But as long as I and others are clean, even if someone suspects me afterwards, where is the evidence
Without evidence, the "Holy Demon Palace" will come to nothing. Things are no longer the same as before.
"He should have recognized you. Does this person really have no companions?"
The fake Dan monk with a fish head and a human body asked the people on the opposite side through voice transmission.
"No, and once he entered the inn, he activated the protective formation, and no one came to look for him. We have inquired about this carefully."
"Oh, he is indeed in the late foundation building stage, but he seems very confident. He didn't pay the bill just now and looked like he would not leave.
The human race is the most cunning. I will stay here and you will go to guard the four city gates respectively. If he takes the opportunity to leave, notify me as soon as possible.
We should also notify the Snow Moon Wolf Clan when the time comes. It would be better if they can take action, and they can also share some of the impact then.
Otherwise, we will follow them ourselves and wait for our chance."
The fake Dan monk with a fish head and a human body looked at Li Yan's back getting farther and farther away, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and spoke quickly through voice transmission.
These fellow tribesmen asked him and another person to take action, and although they paid a lot of spirit stones, the most crucial thing was that the Black Demon Clan had secretly increased the reward for killing human cultivators.
Just half a year ago, the reward was more than doubled. The Black Demon Clan seemed to hate human monks more and more. The increase in the reward this time was very abrupt.
However, as to why the Black Demon Clan did this, they in the Cangyu Sect didn’t care. Who wouldn’t want to make more money
If he could kill this human cultivator, he would receive a much richer reward.
As for the other companion who came beside him, he didn't take it seriously. Who dared to compete with him in the late stage of foundation building
At that time, he would kill the human monk with one blow, and he would be just a spectator.
However, seeing that Li Yan was still fearless after sensing his group, the fake Dan cultivator with a fish head and a human body felt that he was not easy to deal with.
Li Yan walked on the street in a gray shirt, neither hurried nor stopped.
He walked and stopped on the street, occasionally entering a shop, usually asking questions and then buying some materials and jade slips. He was quite leisurely.
His behavior made the two monks with fish heads and human bodies who were secretly watching him from a distance very upset.
Judging from the situation, this human cultivator will not leave the city today. They have been waiting for this "master" for several days.
Li Yan walked along one street after another until noon, and this time he went directly to Baidao Tianbao Pavilion.
Baidao Tianbao Pavilion should have two courtyards, front and back, and the squarest one is a not-too-big storefront, which is not very eye-catching.
As soon as Li Yan stepped in, a young man who looked like a waiter immediately came up to him with a smile on his face.
