With the three parties in check and balance, no one dared to act rashly, except Jiang Yuebai's puppet clone, who subconsciously felt around for food behind the stone pillar.
When she touched nothing, she remembered that she was a puppet clone, not the real person.
"Why did Patriarch Miedu come here?" the female swordsman asked the male swordsman next to her via telepathy.
The male swordsman took a step forward, looked at the purple-robed old man standing on the Taixuan Monument, and asked, "Old Miedu, everything in the Taixuan Mountains originally belonged to my Xuandao Sect, and the Taixuan Monument was also left by my founder, Taixuan Taoist."
The male swordsman paused and glanced at the scarred man and the bearded man opposite him.
"If you don't want to be hunted down by the entire Xuan Dao Sect, then leave as soon as possible. Don't wait until our ancestors arrive. By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"
The scarred man and the bearded man looked at each other. They were both casual cultivators who accidentally heard an old miner who escaped from the Taixuan Mountain Mine talk about this secret passage and the abnormal fire energy below after getting drunk.
Afterwards, they killed the old miner, searched his soul and body... It took them many twists and turns to find this place.
The legendary Taixuan Monument is right in front of them. How could they be willing to let go now
The scarred man and the bearded man hesitated. The old man in purple robe sneered and did not take the two sword cultivators seriously at all.
"Where is the ancestor of your Xuan Dao Sect? I'm afraid he has been beaten by the demons and can't get up anymore. I have been in the demon world for hundreds of years and have killed many Divine Transformation cultivators. What does the ancestor of a declining sect mean to me?"
The domineering aura of the Old Ancestor Miedu was revealed. The male and female sword practitioners were nervous and hesitant, but their eyes were always fixed on the Taixuan Stele that was under the feet of the Old Ancestor Miedu.
At this point no one can tell whether it is true or not, but as long as there is a slight possibility that it is true, it is enough to drive people crazy.
Before the establishment of the Ziwei Star Alliance, the Tianqiang Realm was originally called the Taixuan Realm. The first person to discover this realm was Taixuan Taoist, the founder of the Xuandao Sect.
The Taixuan Mountains were originally the place where Taoist Taixuan practiced Taoism.
Taoist Taixuan entered the Tao through formations. At that time, he was also a local tyrant and a giant in the art of formations.
The Taiwei Star Alliance's great formation to block the Demon Abyss was set up by him personally when he was in the Mahayana stage. Until now, it has resisted the demons for more than 50,000 years before it was broken.
Taoist Taixuan completed his merits and successfully ascended to the immortal world. It is said that he left the three most powerful formation diagrams of his life on a monument for the descendants of Xuandao Sect to comprehend.
But what’s interesting is that after Taoist Taixuan ascended to heaven, the Xuan Dao Sect did not find the Taixuan Stele. They turned almost the entire Taixuan Mountains upside down, but did not find any inheritance left by Taoist Taixuan.
The Xuan Dao Sect also gradually declined after the departure of Tai Xuan Taoist, and there has been no successor who can take up the responsibility, so even though the Tai Xuan Mountains later experienced several earthquakes and geomagnetic eruptions, which gave birth to Tai Xuan Gold, they were unable to defend it, and it was turned into a public land by the Ziwei Star Alliance, leaving them only a small vein of minerals.
No one present knew how the other party knew what was happening here, and they all just happened to gather together.
In the world of cultivation, there are also those kinds of inheritances left by powerful people, which will only appear in the world at the right time and will not exist forever.
No one knows exactly when the timing will be.
Therefore, the few of them did not think too much about the sudden appearance of the Taixuan Stele. They were only thinking about how to take away the Taixuan Stele and obtain the formation diagram inside.
Jiang Yuebai didn't know what they were thinking, nor did he know anything about Taoist Taixuan. Just looking at the scene, he felt that something was not right. He hesitated whether to report to the demon clan and wipe out this group of people.
When Jiang Yuebai was still thinking about how to benefit himself the most, the purple-robed old man on the lava river suddenly looked fierce, raised his hand and threw out two strange array plates.
Surging and powerful demonic energy instantly burst out from the two array plates, far exceeding the power of ordinary Nascent Soul peak powerhouses, and turned into billowing black smoke, overwhelming the people on both sides.
Immediately afterwards, the demonic energy in the body of the old ancestor Mie Du boiled, his eyes widened, his hair and beard danced wildly, and the black demonic energy around his body transformed into a poisonous black snake, which quickly wrapped around the Taixuan Stele and pulled it upwards with force.
Boom!
The ground shook, and the entire lava river cracked with the Taixuan Monument as the center. The hideous cracks spread to the surrounding mountain walls, and a large amount of rubble and stalactites fell from overhead.
More magma gushed out from the cracked mountain walls, emitting oppressive heat.
The sound of swords rang out, and the male and female sword practitioners joined forces to cut through the black fog formation. Seeing that Patriarch Mie Du had already started to take the stele, they immediately became confused.
The two men pointed their fingers and made sword gestures, and tens of thousands of small green swords rolled up from the ground, and merged into a huge sword that made a strange hissing sound. It whistled through the sky and chopped down from the top of the head of the Miedu Patriarch.
The ancestor of Mie Du still stood motionless on the monument. He raised his hand and the demonic energy surged, transforming into a giant black palm that directly crushed the giant green sword in mid-air.
The powerful sword energy shot through the air, creating several cracks in the magma around the body of the Mie Du Patriarch. The sword pressure prevented the magma from closing for a long time.
boom!
On the other side, black fog exploded. The scarred man and the bearded man were furious. They saw the male and female sword cultivators fighting fiercely with the Old Ancestor Miedu, and the sword energy and demonic energy colliding wildly. The two men made up their minds and respectively sacrificed their magic weapons to kill the Old Ancestor Miedu.
Boom boom boom!
Above the lava river, terrifying ripples visible to the naked eye swept across as several people continued to collide with each other, with flames flying everywhere and a terrifying sound.
Under the joint suppression of the four, the pressure on Patriarch Mie Du increased greatly, and he had to temporarily give up on obtaining the stele and resist the four with all his strength.
The battle was so fierce that even Jiang Yuebai's puppet clone had to retreat to avoid the aftermath of the battle.
After finding a safe area again, Jiang Yuebai hid behind a black stone pillar. His eyes flashed slightly and he glanced at a dark corner at the back without making a sound.
The good-looking male cultivator was hiding in a corner where he could not be noticed. He was looking at the center of the fierce battle while glancing towards the place where her puppet clone was hiding.
Even if he didn't see through her invisibility, he must have discovered something.
The male cultivator pinched his brows and frowned, thinking about something.
Jiang Yuebai could use his puppet clone's machine-driven brain to figure out that what he was planning was the same as his own.
Unfortunately, he thought he was a fisherman watching the fight between the snipe and the clam, but he didn't know that he was just the mantis stalking the cicada.
At this moment, Jiang Yuebai's real body was hiding with Bai Jiuyou behind the handsome male cultivator, setting up a hidden formation and secretly observing his every move.
Jixiang squatted on Jiang Yuebai's shoulder, holding the crystal magic core given by Jiang Yuebai in his paws, chewing it with a smacking sound.
Jiang Yuebai took out a fire jade ginseng that he had dug up beside the Taixuan Jinye Pond and gnawed it like a carrot, his eating manner exactly like Jixiang.
The battle on the lava river became more and more intense, gradually reaching a white-hot stage. With the combined efforts of four people, it was obvious that Patriarch Mie Du could not hold on any longer. He was beaten back step by step and gradually moved away from the location of the Taixuan Monument.
The male and female sword cultivators pursued the enemy while the scarred man and the bearded man had ulterior motives and turned around to take the Taixuan Stele.
Without two people suppressing him, Patriarch Mie Du immediately turned the defeat around. His demonic energy transformed into ghost claws, which tore the male swordsman's body apart with one claw. Blood splattered as he fell into the abyss filled with magma.
"Junior brother!"
The female swordsman turned around to save people, and the ancestor of Mie Du rushed to the Tai Xuan Monument and started fighting with the other two people.
Ah~~~
Bai Jiuyou yawned, Jiang Yuebai started to gnaw on the tenth 'radish', Jixiang looked at it eagerly, wanting to eat it too.
roar!!!
A roar of a beast suddenly set off a wave of sound, and the magma under the abyss boiled and gushed out, rising into the sky with great momentum.
It seems like some huge creature has awakened from underground!
Jiang Yuebai was so frightened that the 'radish' in his hand dropped. Jixiang's eyes lit up, he pounced, grabbed the 'radish' and stuffed it into his cheek.
I have to go out in the morning and won't be back until the afternoon. The second update will be in the evening.
