Thunder Demon Territory, Erlei Valley.
Hei Ya originally thought that Wu Qing would resist and escape, but he did not expect that he would happily follow Hei Ya to see Shen Mingjing, and along the way he boasted about all kinds of things about his admiration for Lord Yue, the second young master of the Mirage Demon Clan.
He even discussed with Black Crow how to make his master happy, ways to please his master and so on, which made Black Crow very excited.
It seemed that Wu Qing was full of expectations and wanted to see Shen Mingjing, but Shen Mingjing refused to see Wu Qing and only let Hei Ya keep him in a cave in the valley.
There, there is a dream array set up by Shen Mingjing. It will not take Wu Qing's life, but it will make him wander in the dream forever.
After Hei Ya locked Wu Qing up, he ran to ask Shen Mingjing in confusion.
"Why don't you just let me swallow him? Then I will know everything he knows."
Shen Mingjing was flipping through a travelogue of the human world written by an unknown Taoist priest. Without even looking up, he said, "He is not a demon. Even if you swallow him, you won't be able to obtain his memory. Who knows, he may have some false information in his mind, waiting for you to swallow him and fall into his trap. The insidiousness and cunningness of the human race are not something you can see through."
The only people who can infiltrate the demon clan as an undercover agent can be ghost cultivators who practiced magic in their previous lives. These ghosts have been trained by humans since childhood, and all they have learned is for the purpose of being undercover. How could they be discovered so easily
Moreover, they must have been prepared to be discovered and sacrificed, and would even use death to plan their own affairs.
"Then... the human race's soul-searching technique?" Black Crow asked again.
Shen Mingjing turned the page and chuckled, "Wu Qing dared to come with you, which means he is not afraid of any soul search and torture. Even my Floating Life Dream Formation can't do anything to him for a while. It doesn't matter. I have plenty of patience. Just wait."
Shen Mingjing will not waste one after finding one with great difficulty. He must use Wuqing as a breakthrough point to find all the undercover agents in the Demon Realm!
"What's the situation at the Ice Demon Trial Ground?" Shen Mingjing asked.
Black Crow told Shen Mingjing about the cracks in the stone pillars at the previous trial site. Shen Mingjing stopped turning the pages of the book and thought for a moment. The more he thought about it, the worse it felt.
Things that seemed so certain before now seemed to be unexpected, and he had no idea what the outcome of this unexpected event would be.
Shen Mingjing pressed his temple and said, "Continue to investigate, don't miss any small details, bring a mirage demon with you, and notify me directly through dreams."
"yes!"
After the black crow left, Shen Mingjing no longer had the heart to read. He stood up in annoyance, paced back and forth in the cave, and walked to the cave entrance. Through the thunder crystals all over the mountain, he looked in the direction of leaving the Demon Realm.
When will he be able to fulfill the ambition of the Holy Ancestor
*
The trial ground, on the glacial plain.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi trudged all the way, overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles, breaking through the numerous checkpoints on the ice field, and killing countless monsters in the trial land.
Finally, they walked out of the range of the blizzard and saw the pure and holy Shengzu Pond, which was like the tears of immortals.
When the blizzard reached here, a clear dividing line appeared. As soon as they stepped over it, the wind and snow disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a powerful binding force fell on them.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi looked at each other and felt that they could no longer act rashly here.
"Let's go to the pond." Lu Nanzhi put away his sword and walked in front, with Jiang Yuebai following closely behind.
When they got there, they saw six True Demons beside the Holy Ancestor Pond, three men and three women. Bing Ling was among them. The other five were also in the True Demon realm, all in the early and middle stages, with no late stages.
Almost all the True Demons in the late True Demon Realm of the Ice Demon Tribe have been here, so the opportunity for this trial will naturally be given to other True Demons.
The six of them stood by the Shengzu Pond, each of them keeping a distance from each other, with their hands crossed and pressed under their shoulders, their bodies suspended straight in the air, straight and motionless like icicles, constantly sucking up streams of air from the pond and sinking them directly into their hearts.
Jiang Yuebai frowned when he saw this kind of cultivation method that didn't involve eating demons. It was very strange!
Jiang Yuebai looked at Bing Ling and found that the invisible force here was suppressing her, making her unable to attack Bing Ling.
Noticing their arrival, six ice demons fell to the ground and glanced at the two with caution and hostility.
Lu Nanzhi completely ignored their hostility and walked straight to the edge of Shengzu Pond.
The rich demonic energy with a bone-chilling chill hit Lu Nanzhi in the face, making him feel comfortable all over. The demonic sword energy in his body was pushed by the rich icy demonic energy, and it started to operate on its own, absorbing the demonic energy and cold air.
clang!
The Bingpo Sword in Lu Nanzhi's hand clanged for no reason, and the sound waves created ripples on the water. Through those ripples, Lu Nanzhi saw that under the water, there seemed to be a staircase as pure and transparent as the water, leading straight down.
Lu Nanzhi looked at the Ice Soul Sword in his hand, then at the lake water, and turned to Jiang Yuebai, who was drooling as he stared at the demons behind him, and said, "Xiaobai, come with me."
Jiang Yuebai came back to his senses in a daze, and the demons also looked at each other with a hint of surprise.
Lu Nanzhi spoke in human language. Although the demons found it awkward, they could understand what he meant. If they wanted to fight against the human race, they still had to understand the basic human language.
There are a total of eighty-one stairs below the Shengzu Pond. All the ice demons who come here can see the stairs, but no one can actually walk to the bottom.
Bing Ling is considered the best among this generation of true demons. He had tried it when he was the first to arrive at the Holy Ancestor Pond, but he could not go down any further after going down the thirty-sixth floor.
If he forced his way down, even if he was an ice demon, he would be frozen to death at the bottom of the pool.
Not to mention the other true demons, the number of levels they descended is not as high as Bingling.
When Lu Nanzhi said she wanted to go down, all the ice demons stared at her, nervous and scared.
As the person chosen by the Ice Demon Saint, Lu Nanzhi stepped forward. The biting cold air invaded her body, but her expression did not change at all. She raised her hand and unsheathed the Ice Soul Sword. The water in the pool was actually pushed aside by the sword, leaving an unobstructed path.
Bing Ling and other demons were stunned. They couldn't help but move closer to the edge of the pond, staring at the downward stairs with wide eyes.
Lu Nanzhi called out to Jiang Yuebai, who raised his head proudly, walked arrogantly toward the edge of the pond, and walked down the stairs.
At this moment, the pool of water that was split by the Bingpo Sword suddenly surged up, like a heavy punch, hitting Jiang Yuebai's chest hard.
She was caught off guard and was smashed away. The intense coldness froze her whole body in an instant, and she fell at Bing Ling's feet like an ice sculpture.
Sniff
Bing Ling laughed sarcastically.
Lu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Yuebai nervously and wanted to come out to help, but she couldn't pull her feet off the stairs, and the sword in her hand was pulling her down.
Bang!
Jiang Yuebai raised his fist, shattering the ice shell all over his body. His lips turned purple and his teeth chattered from the cold.
At this moment, she still maintained the appearance of a human, and the spiritual energy in her body was almost frozen into ice chips by the cold. It felt like countless ice knives were cutting her meridians and flesh, causing her excruciating pain and making her movements stiff.
Jiang Yuebai glared in defiance, thinking this little difficulty could stump her
She frowned, and flames burned fiercely on her body. The rules of this place didn't allow her to burn these ice demons, but it was okay for her to burn herself, right
In an instant, the flaming armor formed by the Phoenix's true fire was added to her body. Although it was not as quick and satisfying as the previous burning of the mountain, it gradually burned away the coldness in her body and made her body no longer stiff.
Bing Ling and other demons felt the strong heat of the Phoenix True Fire and retreated in fear. Jiang Yuebai snorted and climbed up, walked back to the edge of the pond, and said to Lu Nanzhi, "Lead the way, I have to go down to this Holy Ancestor Pond!"
Lu Nanzhi curled the corners of his lips slightly, turned around and rushed downwards, as light as a swallow. Wherever he passed, the water in the lake parted on its own without any hindrance.
On the other hand, Jiang Yuebai had a hard time getting down. The water from the pond hit her violently, and it was incompatible with the Phoenix Fire in her body. It was like two ferocious beasts, biting each other and fighting to the death.
Jiang Yuebai's body was trembling, feeling the weight of the water, and he walked down step by step with determination.
After walking only twenty or so steps, she felt that the spiritual energy in her body was insufficient to support the Phoenix Fire to continue burning, and the coldness around her was getting stronger and stronger.
Jiang Yuebai stood still, with the ice demons behind her waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and Lu Nanzhi waiting for her in front of her. Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth, and a pure chaotic force burst out from her spine.
boom!
Her entire body was enveloped in raging flames, which surged like a phoenix spreading its wings. With a clear cry, Jiang Yuebai raised her foot and rushed forward, like a gust of wind, rushing directly past Lu Nanzhi and down to the bottom of the eighty-first steps in one breath.
A vortex of water that was obviously leading to somewhere else was spinning quietly. Jiang Yuebai glanced at Lu Nanzhi, stepped into it and disappeared.
Lu Nanzhi followed closely behind and stepped in.
Beside the Saint Ancestor Pond, the six Ice Demons clenched their fists and nearly gnashed their teeth. They hadn’t even entered the Luoze Ice Palace of their Ice Demon Saint Ancestor yet, and yet they were beaten to it by two humans. This was absolutely intolerable!
"When they come out, we will work together to kill them here, otherwise we Ice Demons will become the laughing stock of the entire Demon Realm!"
Bing Ling suggested, and the demons nodded.
