Ji Yuan didn't let Miaoyun think about it, and spoke directly.
"If you feel confused, it may be because you have achieved your original goal. Simply erase those messy distractions and stop thinking about complicated things. Just think of it as a pure love for swords."
Ji Yuan didn't say anything more to the Miaoyun Demon King and looked into the distance.
On this side, the Sky-Swallowing Beast spit out all the demons it had eaten, and on the other side, there were also demons returning the disciples of the Weimei Sect that they had captured before. Now, the Huanggu Demon King who captured them was somewhat fortunate that he did not swallow them directly at that time, because he had originally planned to learn some immortal principles, or slowly absorb their essence.
There were a total of six Weimei Sect disciples who were released. Almost all of them were injured, but not seriously. The only difference was that the magic weapons they had used before were gone, and even their outermost robes were taken away, so that the things hidden in the sleeves of the robes with the magical power of absorbing objects were also gone, and the demon obviously had no intention of returning them.
This didn't matter to Jiang Xueling and the others. On the contrary, it was a pleasant surprise that several missing disciples were still alive.
Even though they were cold and arrogant in the past, the few female fairies from the Weimei Sect were able to return, and they couldn't help but feel extremely excited. Even though their bodies were still weak, they couldn't wait to fly back to the Sky-Devouring Beast from the demons who were guarding them.
"Grandmaster!" "Grandmaster, Senior Sister!"
"It's good to be back. Let's heal slowly."
The disciples of Weimei Sect could of course see the miserable appearance of the Sky-Devouring Beast, but they could not care less at this moment and all returned to the only relatively intact observatory on the back of the Sky-Devouring Beast to recover their strength. As for the island in the belly of the Sky-Devouring Beast, they could not enter for the time being because the Sky-Devouring Beast itself was too badly injured and had closed itself off. Fortunately, there was no one inside.
The Weimei Sect looked carefully and knew that no one was missing, but the Nanhuang Demon Clan was even less particular. Basically, after the Sky-Swallowing Beast vomited out, they didn't even click on it. They didn't care at all whether anyone was missing or not. They didn't know the number and didn't care about it at all. They just wanted a show and to save face.
However, after these demons and monsters with damaged vitality came out, they were unable to leave immediately. Instead, they all stood on the broad head of the Sky-Devouring Beast, standing together with the remaining demon kings and a small number of big demons, each of them looking frightened and uneasy.
"Hehehe, what are you afraid of? This is your blessing after surviving a great disaster. The immortals over there will give you pills to strengthen your body and replenish your essence. I guarantee you won't suffer any loss. You will never get this kind of pill in your lifetime if you do it on your own."
A big demon reminded them sinisterly, but his long and narrow mouth and gloomy tone made the nearby demons feel afraid. However, after they came to their senses, they began to look forward to it vaguely.
Several demon kings are now standing in front of Ji Yuan and others. A demon king with narrow eyes said to Jiang Xueling with a sinister smile.
"Okay, all of you disciples of the Weimei Sect have returned. It's time to do the remaining work. Where are our pills? Remember, they have to be effective for us as well."
"Yes, if it's a useless pill, it doesn't count!" "Yes, don't fool us with useless pills!"
Demon King is just a title and cannot represent the realm of the demon clan. But it is undeniable that to be a demon king, one must be much stronger than ordinary demons. Needless to say, the demon body is so strong that many elixirs may not be effective even if they are made by immortals.
Jiang Xueling simply bowed to Lian Baiping, who snorted coldly at the demon kings, reluctantly took out some small jade bottles from his sleeves, and handed them to Jiang Xueling, who solemnly bowed to Lian Baiping to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for lending me the pills, I will find all the materials after I return and compensate you for your losses."
"Forget it, forget it. This matter was caused by me. Just consider it my compensation."
Jiang Xueling smiled and nodded to Ji Yuan beside her before walking up to the demon kings and handing them the small jade bottles.
After the demon king took the jade bottle, someone pulled out the stopper and sniffed it. Immediately, a faint fragrance wafted out. The fragrance was not strong, and it did not seem like some extraordinary elixir, but it was refreshing and lingered for a long time even with the stopper on.
"What kind of pill is this? Is it really effective?"
When the Huanggu Demon King asked this, Lian Baiping immediately became unhappy and said with disdain.
"You are ignorant. This is the Mingling Pill I made myself. Just from the name, you can tell that it is extremely good for the Yuanling, which is just right for your weaknesses. As for whether it is effective, can't the dignified Demon King smell it just now?"
The demon kings did not show their expression on their faces, but they were already delighted in their hearts. A slight shake revealed that there were more than a dozen pills in the small bottle, which were very rare for them.
"Well, eh! Not bad, this elixir is very good, the matter is settled, you can leave now!"
One of the demon kings couldn't wait to speak, but a big demon behind him reminded him.
"My king, they haven't given those little ones the elixir to strengthen their bodies."
"Uh oh, not bad."
However, despite this, the demon kings did not take it too seriously. The immortal cultivators themselves remembered it more clearly and would not easily break their promises, so Jiang Xueling had already prepared more than a dozen bottles of pills.
Jiang Xueling unplugged one of the bottles and fanned it with her hands. A strong scent of elixir floated into the crowd of monsters, and many of them even began to swallow their saliva subconsciously.
To a certain extent, although the efficacy of these pills is not as good as Mingling Pills, they are more comprehensive, especially in terms of nourishing vital energy, and are extremely suitable for demons whose strength is neither too high nor too low.
"This pill is called Gusheng Pill. Even the orthodox disciples of our Weimei Sect cannot get it casually. As compensation, everyone will get one."
As he spoke, Jiang Xueling flicked his sleeves, and the stoppers of the dozen or so bottles of pills floating in front of him all opened at once. The pills inside turned into rays of mysterious light and flew out towards the demons standing behind. They subconsciously took the pills, only to feel that they were holding a piece of red-hot charcoal, which was extremely hot, but not painful. The pills in their hands were emitting bursts of red light.
'Good baby!'
This is almost the first thought of all monsters who see the true appearance of this elixir, and only a few monster kings can remain calm.
"Okay, we're even now."
"Well, then, everyone from the demon clan, today's matter ends here. I hope you will keep your promise and let us go."
Ji Yuan bowed and spoke, and the demon kings, fearful in their hearts, also returned the bow politely.
"That's natural. You can go now."
Miaoyun also replied to Ji Yuandao.
"Mr. Ji, I'm leaving now!"
As they spoke, the demon kings rose into the air one after another and left the Sky-Devouring Beast, and the big demons followed behind them. However, those demons that had been released and had just obtained the Life-Securing Pill were a beat slower and realized that they should leave quickly. They left one after another, either jumping directly off the Sky-Devouring Beast or setting up demonic winds.
"Please wait and leave."
Ji Yuan's voice reached the ears of some spirits and monsters, causing them to stop subconsciously. When they came to their senses, all the monsters around them had gone away, and only a dozen were left on the Sky-Swallowing Beast. They immediately became very nervous.
These goblins looked at the various evil lights and winds that were going away, and no one cared about them on the Sky-Devouring Beast.
"Uh, Immortal, is there anything else?"
The person who spoke was an ordinary-looking monster, with a hint of trepidation in his voice, while Ji Yuan had a slight smile on his face.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. I have come here to keep you here not to harm you. The elixir given by Daoist Fellow Gusheng Jiang is simple, but the medicine is excellent. I don't need to tell you what the Southern Wilderness Mountain is. I see that you have no evil intentions, so I will help you."
Ji Yuan did not explain much. A wolf-hair brush flew out from his sleeve, spinning without stirring ink. Instead, a trace of water vapor condensed in front of Ji Yuan. He held the wolf-hair brush and tapped it on a small group of water droplets. Then, he used water as ink and wrote two words in the air, which were: "Ling Zang".
The two words were like flowing water waves in the air, with a faint but sparkling light on them. Then Ji Yuan waved his sleeves again, and the water light split into dozens of rays, which hit the bodies of these monsters and goblins one after another, scaring them all and making them look around to see if they were okay.
"Well, as long as you don't do anything too exaggerated, there shouldn't be any special noise when you take this pill within three years. Find a quiet place to refine it."
These monsters and goblins suddenly understood and bowed to Ji Yuan again.
"Thank you for the blessing, Immortal!"
After the ceremony, the remaining monsters fled one after another. They also knew that in a place like the Southern Wild Mountains, a man would be guilty of possessing a treasure even if he was innocent. So many monsters had obtained the elixir before, but how many of them could enjoy it in peace
After the Sky-Devouring Beast calmed down, Ji Yuan turned to his fellow Taoist.
"Let's go too, Fellow Daoist Lian, what's the whereabouts of that demon?"
Lian Baiping had been waiting for Ji Yuan to say this.
"One thousand two hundred miles southwest, it has slowed down. It probably feels safe and is preparing to heal its wounds. However, the monster with strange lights is a bit erratic and difficult to determine its whereabouts."
"Well, it's enough to know that demon. Let's go."
"good."
The cultivators of Weimei Sect completed the formation, covering the entire Sky-Devouring Beast, and then flew away together in the fairy light, heading south-west, and soon disappeared from the eyes of the demon that was watching in secret.
In a rocky cave in the southwest, a handsome young man was suppressing his sword wound. His face turned blue and white. The sword wound did not look serious, but it was extremely painful. The pure pain reached a certain level that even a demon could not bear. After all, he was not a real demon. He could not make his body invisible, so his pain tolerance also had a limit.
"Heh... Heh... I finally feel better..."
The pain from the sword wound eased a little, and Beimu also had to take a breath. He looked down at the wound. A lot of the sword energy had been worn away by him, but the remaining sword energy was attached with sword intent, which could only be eliminated with great effort.
'I don't know if the demon king and Luwu are dead. Luwu is probably not dead. This guy is very gloomy and more unpredictable than ordinary demons. How could he make a slip of the tongue? Did I offend him before, or did the demon king offend him?'
From many possibilities, Bei Mu suddenly thought of a scene. The demon king kept calling Lu Wu "my dear brother" and "little brother" and treated him as a junior from the beginning of their contact. Although Lu Wu had a blank expression on his face, he was probably so vicious in his heart that he used Ji Yuan's hand to do this to him.
Although it is a bit absurd, and it can even be said that the possibility of ignoring the overall situation is very small, but when Bei Mu thought of Lu Wu's changeable personality, he strangely felt that this possibility might be closest to the truth. To be honest, there are not many normal people in the Apocalypse Alliance.
The more Bei Mu thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, and Lu Wu was even willing to take the risk of being targeted by Ji Yuan.
Beimu shuddered.
'This madman...'
