Jiang Yuebai found a pill that could restore her spiritual power and took it. In her current state, she couldn't directly open the space restriction and pass through the Qilin domain that blocked her way back to Songfeng City. She needed a while to recover.
"How did you know there was a Taixuan Monument under the mine?"
Shen Mingjing was stunned for a moment, looking at Bai Jiuyou and then at Jiang Yuebai, as if he didn't know what was going on.
"After the Taixuan Mountains were occupied by the demons, some miners escaped. I heard from them that there was abnormal fire energy in the deepest part of the West Second District Mine, and there should be something underneath. The demons' defenses were not strict, so I came here to explore."
"In fact, I didn't know there was a Taixuan Monument underneath, nor did I know there was a Fire Kirin. I just thought that even if there was nothing, I could take the opportunity to dig up some Taixuan Gold, so it wouldn't be a loss."
Jiang Yuebai couldn't tell anything from his expression. Regardless of whether he was lying or not, he was probably in the same situation with the other people.
"What did you think of?" Bai Jiuyou asked Jiang Yuebai. As soon as the two looked at each other, they knew that they were thinking the same thing.
Jiang Yuebai said to Shen Mingjing, "The miner you met may have leaked the news on purpose in order to attract a group of people to feed the Fire Kirin and speed up its advancement. Although this Taixuan Monument has a mystery, it is most likely fake."
Shen Mingjing's pupils trembled slightly, "But why do we have to do this? When humans and demons are fighting, catching them all in one fell swoop will not benefit either side."
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the other side. The Qilin territory was still burning fiercely and the thunderclouds were still surging. Apart from that, there was no other movement. No one knew what was going on inside.
"The purpose is naturally to let the Fire Kirin survive the catastrophe at this moment and trap all those people. If I'm not mistaken, the demons arranged all this."
Bai Jiuyou nodded, and Shen Mingjing's face looked even more surprised.
Jiang Yuebai said, "The bait is not heavy, the human coalition army will not fall for it, and the Fire Kirin's tribulation seems like an accident, which can confuse people for a short period of time. I can probably understand the person behind the plot. Compared with taking down the entire Sky Spear Realm, the sacrifice of this bait is definitely worth it."
Jiang Yuebai recovered a little, pressed down the Taixuan Stele and put it into the Lotus Cave Heaven. She still had some use for this thing, so she couldn't give it up.
"My name is Wangshu. Thank you very much today. If we have a chance to meet again in the future, I will definitely repay your help. I will leave first."
Ripples appeared in space, and Jiang Yuebai and Bai Jiuyou stepped into it and disappeared.
Such a big commotion here will definitely attract attention from all parties. The Fire Qilin itself is a huge treasure, and it happens to be in the process of undergoing a tribulation.
Human nature is greedy and selfish. Even when faced with a disaster, some people will have evil thoughts.
For example, taking the opportunity to injure the Fire Kirin and capture it.
As a result, the three cities of Songfeng, Jingyang and Shengwu, which have weak defenses, will definitely be breached by the demons.
Yin Shuwei had told Uncle Fuyi before that the Tianqiang Realm protective formation had thirty-six formation centers. Songfeng, Jingyang and Shengwu were all in name only, but in fact only Songfeng City was the real formation center.
Therefore, Songfeng City must not be lost, otherwise once the protective formation is broken, those foreign demons in the Nascent Soul Stage and the Fusion Stage will be able to destroy the Tianqiang Realm with a wave of their hands.
Nowadays, they are all held in the void outside the domain by the powerful monks of the Ziwei Star Alliance.
This is a war situation where one move could affect the entire body. Uncle Master Fuyi will definitely be isolated and helpless.
Jiang Yuebai's soul was hurt by the dream of floating life. She felt incapable of opening the space restriction once. Fortunately, she successfully passed through the Qilin territory.
She released her spiritual sense to sense and found Xiaolu's trace. She breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Xiaolu would be trapped inside if he was not careful.
Bai Jiuyou had already recovered the dragon-armored puppet, the little Lei Hou Lieque, and the rat cubs that had been left in the mine, without any damage at all.
After finding Xiaolu, Jiang Yuebai took out Poyun Chong and let Bai Jiuyou control it, rushing to Songfeng City as quickly as possible. He stayed in the internal space of Poyun Chong to recover from the consumption of his soul.
Compared with her cultivation and physique, her current soul is indeed a little inferior. Even though she has absorbed the Emperor's Sap before, it cannot keep up with the Chaos Body. The higher her cultivation level increases, the more her soul cannot keep up.
As for what to do specifically, she only had a flash of inspiration when she saw Lu Nanzhi's nightmare. Right now, the most important thing was to make sure that Master Uncle Fuyi was safe, and the rest could come later.
*
Matsukaze Castle.
Zhao Fuyi stood on top of the tallest formation tower in the city center. When he saw the pillar of fire rising into the sky from the direction of the Taixuan Mountains, his alarm bells rang and he immediately used all his strength to activate the entire formation.
Songfeng City is the top priority and the core of the entire formation. She is guarding it personally. Two Nascent Soul cultivators are left in each of Jingyang and Shengwu cities to ensure the safety of the eye of the formation.
Bang!
Bang!
Unusual collision sounds with rustling sounds came from all around. Zhao Fuyi spread his spiritual sense to explore various places in Songfeng City and found that countless black magic octopuses were drilling out from the ground, constantly hitting the formation barrier, trying to enter the formation.
A single demon octopus was too weak to trigger a counterattack from the formation, so Zhao Fuyi did not notice it at first. At this moment, a layer of black had faintly appeared on the periphery of the formation, gathering thousands of demon octopuses.
Zhao Fuyi's mind moved, and a golden light flashed across the formation. The surrounding demon octopuses were instantly destroyed and turned into black demonic energy.
However, the evil spirits did not dissipate. They floated in the air and were absorbed by the evil octopuses that continuously emerged from below, and continued to use their bodies to hit the large formation barrier outside Songfeng City.
The bodies of the demon octopuses all have a faint turbid air, which gathers into a large amount and is highly corrosive. As they suicidally collide, the turbid air gradually attaches to the large formation barrier.
Just like clean glass stained with dirt, no matter how Zhao Fuyi activated the formation, he was unable to eliminate the foul air.
Turbid air is stronger than demonic energy and is the most polluted force between heaven and earth. Even a cultivator who has reached the state of spiritual enlightenment may not be able to completely purify the turbid air and can only disperse it.
Currently, only the Qinglian clan has the ability to purify the foul air, so even though the demon clan is weak, the demon clan can never occupy the demon domain.
The dense noises made one's scalp tingle. Zhao Fuyi killed batch after batch of the demon octopuses, but there were too many of them and they came too fast. The demon octopuses killed in front would only become nutrients for the demon octopuses behind, making them stronger and stronger.
Zhao Fuyi looked out to both sides along the formation. The formation connecting the three cities was a dirty gray-black color, and a half-man-high wall had been built by the demon octopus.
There is no way to kill them all. Even if she exhausts all her spiritual energy, she cannot stop the magic octopus from corroding the formation.
However, although Zhao Fuyi had seen weak creatures like the magic octopus before, he had never studied their habits and characteristics in depth. After all, if he encountered one, he could just kill it with a wave of his hand. It was not difficult.
But the demon octopus he encountered now was obviously different. Zhao Fuyi didn't know what to do for a moment and could only try various methods over and over again.
However, none of the methods she knew could completely eliminate the turbid air in the body of the magic octopus. If this continued, it might not last the promised five days, and the great formation would be corroded by the turbid air and gaps would appear.
At this moment, Zhao Fuyi suddenly thought of Jiang Yuebai.
She is knowledgeable, has a good memory, and has many methods. Her chaotic body may have a way to deal with the turbid air.
Zhao Fuyi looked worriedly in the direction of Taixuan Mountains, and flashed to the edge of the formation. He took out the items used to set up the formation, and set up another formation outside the formation, layer by layer, to prevent the demon octopus from approaching.
