Late at night, the lights in Kongfang City were bright, and the crowd gathered around the square in the city, busy with activities.
"The Xuanming battlefield is extremely disadvantageous to both sides. Those ice demons are difficult to completely destroy. They will attack whoever they catch. It's not like the Lost Imperial City has bronze puppets that can be activated and controlled with high-quality spirit stones."
"It's a pity that the demons are all destroyed. Otherwise, if there were demons still here, they could command thousands of ice demons and easily flatten the ice field."
"You're still laughing. Don't you think those ice demons are scary? Aren't you afraid that the ice demons will escape from the secret realm and revive the demon race?"
"Are you stupid? This is a secret realm. The remaining demonic energy inside is imprisoned by an ancient formation and can only operate according to fixed rules. Once those ice demons escape from the formation, they will immediately perish. What is there to be afraid of?"
"But there's always a chance that it's not the case. What if something goes wrong with the formation? What if the demons are possessed and avoid the rules?"
"Impossible. How many times have the Fengyun Club been held? If something was going to go wrong, it would have happened a long time ago."
Hong Tao and Qi Ming stood in the crowd, watching the two people over there arguing about whether the demons could escape.
Qi Ming withdrew his gaze and shook his head. Hong Tao looked at the mirage above the square with worry. He had just seen Jiang Yuebai rushing into the ice cluster, so how come he couldn't find him
Seeing this, Qi Ming advised, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Hong. Senior Sister Jiang can eliminate the three heroes of the Kong family by herself. She is bound to win the championship."
Hong Tao squeezed his storage bag a little nervously. He had agreed to bet only 100 low-grade spirit stones at the beginning. However, when he went to Fengmanlou with Qi Ming, he heard the arrogant ridicule from the aristocratic families. He got so excited that he directly bet all his belongings.
Even though it’s not much, it’s all the family’s belongings!
In the attics around the square, the Nascent Soul True Lords from the aristocratic families and sects stood in their respective chambers. The few Nascent Souls from the Loose Cultivator Alliance had already left.
At the Fengyun Conference, independent cultivators have never been on the overall list and can only compete for places on the sub-lists after the conference.
True Lord Canghuo was still pestering Li Jiuchuan, and from time to time he glared at Ling Guanghan who was not far away.
Ling Guanghan was discussing swordsmanship with the Sword Master of Guiyuan Sword Sect, while Zhao Fuyi was sitting at the table with Ge Yuchan's master Li Fantao, drinking tea and chatting.
True Lord Cang Huo glanced at Zhao Fuyi, "True Lord Fuyi has changed a lot over the years. In the past, when her disciples were fighting, she would definitely not be able to sit still and would definitely stand at the front with a stern face. Now, she is not worried at all."
After saying that, True Lord Canghuo saw that Li Jiuchuan had frowned slightly and had been looking at the mirage, and joked, "On the contrary, you are the most calm person, why are you so nervous now? Where is your posture with your tail raised to the sky before?"
"Cough~" Li Jiuchuan clenched his fist and coughed lightly, recalling what Jiang Yuebai told him before he went in that the method would not be too pretty, he couldn't help but be nervous.
He should at least know how ugly it would be at the first moment, and then he can explain a few words to the girl and save his face, right
"Look, your two little disciples have also come in." Li Jiuchuan changed the subject.
"Where is it? Where is it?" True Lord Canghuo poked his head out.
In the Xuanming battlefield, the younger generation of disciples of the sect went in one after another, and all appeared in the deep pit where Jiang Yuebai appeared at the beginning.
"This group of little guys are quite well-organized. It's a pity that their senior brothers and sisters are fighting bloody battles in the front."
True Lord Canghuo watched for a while and found that the ice demons on the side of the aristocratic disciples were getting fewer and fewer, while the ice demons on the side of the sect disciples were fine at first, but now suddenly, as if someone was commanding them, they all gathered together and attacked the sect disciples frantically.
"Strange, why are these ice demons targeting the sect's disciples?"
Hearing this, Li Jiuchuan looked at it carefully for a moment, "It is a bit unusual. There are indeed many variables in this year's foundation building competition."
Cang Huo glanced at the mirage phantom on the upper level. In the Jindan hunting ground, everything was almost as they expected.
"Li Shenzhi, this stinky boy, is hiding in the dark like he did back then. How could Fu Yi accept such a greedy and life-threatening guy? He doesn't match her personality at all..."
"Hmm? These two women seem to be independent cultivators. How come they entered the hunting grounds? Could it be that the independent cultivators want to compete for the Golden Core leader this time?"
Canghuo looked at the hunting grounds of the upper Jindan cultivators with curiosity. Like the lower grounds, they were all glaciers.
In addition to the Jindan cultivators from aristocratic families and sects, there was also a female cultivator in the middle Jindan stage who controlled a puppet, and a female cultivator in the late Jindan stage who wore a mask on her face and whose identity was difficult to discern.
＊
In the Xuanming battlefield.
"Go to the ice cluster, you can teleport to other places."
A group of people were besieged by a large number of ice demons. He Wangchen ran the fastest and was the first to reach the ice cluster.
"noob?"
Yun Shang, who was standing behind the bald giant ape, saw the person who fell down with He Wangchen and opened her eyes in surprise.
Xie Jingshan, Zhuo Qingfeng and others who were fighting in the front also looked back.
“Ouch~” He Wangchen groaned as he climbed up, “Senior Sister Yuebai, how come you are harder than a magic weapon? You almost killed me!”
"Stop making noise!"
Jiang Yuebai looked panicked. She sat on the ground holding a jade slip and muttering something. She wanted to record all the insights that were quickly disappearing from her mind. Even if it was just one or two words, she would be able to slowly recall them later.
There were more and more ice demons, and the group of more than ten people originally wanted to hide in the ice cluster. When Zhuo Qingfeng in front saw Jiang Yuebai like this, his aura rose, and he rushed out with a sword, actively fighting against the ice demons to buy time for Jiang Yuebai.
"well!"
Hua Yingshi sighed and rushed forward to resist the ice demon.
"Get out of my way!"
Xie Jingshan rushed to Zhuo Qingfeng in one step, wiped his palm across the sword blade, blood splattered, and thrust the Huodou sword into the ice.
boom!
The flames shot up into the sky, forming a huge fire shield that protected everyone inside. Xie Jingshan's brows were tightly knelt, his expression focused, half-kneeling on the ground, tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, blood constantly flowing from his palm, trying to keep the fire shield intact.
Bang! Bang!
Dozens of ice demons were frantically hitting the fire shield outside. Xie Jingshan gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yuebai tried her best to remember most of the insights. She clenched the jade slip and closed her eyes. A powerful aura suddenly burst out from her.
"Is she... in the late stage of foundation building?"
Everyone was shocked by Jiang Yuebai's aura, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what her level of cultivation was.
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Yuebai's eyes were clear and bright, without any dust or dirt. She flashed and appeared beside Xie Jingshan, and kicked him away lightly.
"Get out of my way."
As soon as the fire shield was extinguished, Jiang Yuebai took out the Fire Thunder Spear and rushed into the group of ice demons with one shot.
After clearing out a group of ice demons with extraordinary domineering power, Jiang Yuebai swung his spear, shocking everyone.
"Humph, a mere ice demon..."
A strong wind suddenly blew up, and the ice that had just been shattered by her began to gather together again.
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into five giant ice demons that were three meters tall and covered with spikes. They were majestic and looked fierce.
Jiang Yuebai blinked, turned around and ran away dragging his spear.
“Run!”
Everyone:
The group of people were stunned for a moment before they reacted and followed her into the ice cluster.
"Jiang Yuebai, I look down on you!"
Xie Jingshan was almost stabbed in the butt by the ice spike shot by the ice demon. He jumped and ran, cursing angrily.
Jiang Yuebai gritted his teeth. If the evil energy in the core of the Ice Demon was not destroyed, it would continue to regroup and become stronger and stronger.
There is no point in continuing to fight. It's not like she has really reached the late stage of foundation building, and her injuries haven't healed yet!
