Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Shen Ji True Person
In an instant, a number of people rushed toward the underground.
The most powerful among them was a direct disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, who was, like Xie An, at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but at this moment, using a mysterious secret technique, he had boosted his aura to the level of the Purple Mansion.
He too plunged into the ground.
Li Family remnants must be executed!
The Fifth Rank magical treasure naturally belongs to Heavenly Sword True Person!
"Come at me, the Nine Sons Demon Banner is just short of souls!" Li Chuanhuan laughed loudly, not the least bit concerned.
Underground, he directly released earth-based spells, instantly killing the other cultivators buried within.
Only the cultivator who had used the secret technique to reach the level of the Purple Mansion, along with a few at the peak of Foundation Establishment, barely managed to resist.
Then, he was seen taking a black flag from the ground and leaping back to the surface.
Under his control, the palm-sized flag suddenly transformed into a massive banner that was three to four zhang tall.
On the banner, nine ink-stained fearsome demon heads came to life, with countless demon souls' shadows flickering in and out of existence.
A single glance was like peering into the Asura Hell, exceedingly terrifying.
The next moment, swarms of demon heads emerged from the banner, hanging high in the void, like the gate to hell itself.
Lin Shiming was also greatly shocked; he did not expect Li Chuanhuan to not flee but instead to brazenly confront the Three Great Sects.
To massively slaughter the disciples of all three sects.
Many cultivators were preoccupied with fighting the demonic beasts and never anticipated such a sudden influx of ghostly heads and demon souls!
Many fell dead on the spot, and their souls were once again absorbed by the Nine Sons Demon Banner.
In a blink, the entire East City gate resembled a purgatory.
Lin Shiming and others who were prepared, had already retreated from the East City gate.
Knowing it was a Fifth Rank magical treasure, even if it was damaged, it was not something Foundation Establishment cultivators could contend with; even if someone from Purple Mansion arrived, Lin Shiming had no confidence that they could stop Li Chuanhuan.
Lin Xianzhi also retreated with him, for they were only nominal disciples and had encountered an attack by the demon head on the city wall, where they could only serve as nourishment for the demon banner.
Just then, a purple light appeared in the sky, and three long purple swords descended, slashing towards the Nine Sons Demon Banner.
It was none other than Zi Xuan Hermit, who at that moment, exuded a purple aura like the rising morning sun, looking exceptionally spirited.
Boom!
From the Nine Sons Demon Banner, eight great demon heads emerged, each possessing the strength of the late stages of the Purple Mansion, with the strongest one even at the peak of the Purple Mansion.
The eight demons spewed black Qi that turned into a black gale and fiercely blew towards the three Zixia swords.
For a moment, purple and black light collided, emitting a thunderous roar that echoed through heaven and earth.
Eventually, the purple swords flew back while the black light completely dissipated!
"With not even a Golden Core demon daring to show off in front of me?" Zi Xuan Hermit declared coldly.
He continued to clash with Li Chuanhuan.
Experience exclusive tales on мѵʟ
From a distance, Lin Shiming still did not return to the city gates. Seeing that Li Chuanhuan had no intention of leaving, he became even more certain of his internal suspicions.
The Fifth Rank magical treasure couldn't possibly belong to Li Chuanhuan, and the one who had previously captured the offspring of the Golden Peng Demon King couldn't have been Li Chuanhuan either. All of this pointed to the fact that among the Demonic Sects of Chu Country, there must be a Golden Core True Person present.
Yet he couldn't figure out what the purpose of this Golden Core hermit was in coming here, whether it was to instigate a fight between the Demon King and the True Persons or to bring disaster to the people of Yunzhou.
The next moment, he got his answer as he saw horrifying fluctuations of spiritual power emerging not far from Qingyun City, with billows of black mist gushing forth.
Then from amidst it, a pale-faced middle-aged man wearing black robes walked out.
Almost simultaneously, within the Qingyun Mountain Range, countless roarings that shook the heavens and earth resounded once more.
A Cloud Flood Dragon from the marshes soared into the sky as if a true dragon had emerged!
It then madly charged toward Qingyun City.
Behind it, more Demon Kings appeared.
Nearly all the Demon Kings of the entire Qingyun Mountain had come.
At that moment, the man in the black robe simply smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, the Demon Banner, which had been in combat with the Zi Xuan Hermit in the sky, suddenly fell into the latter's hands.
"Heavenly Sword, Spirit Cloud, you conspired to plague our Chu Country with the turmoil of the Eastern Sea flood dragons. Today, your Zhao Kingdom shall meet the same fate!" the man in the black robe said, and then once again produced the Demon Banner which, in an instant, manifested tens of thousands of souls.
There were also nearly a hundred thousand ordinary vengeful spirits, all evidently mortals sacrificed by the Li Family.
This sent chills down Lin Shiming's spine!
The explosion of vengeful and refined souls in the next moment was about to sweep away both the man in the black robe and Li Chuanhuan.
"Thinking of sacrificing a demon to escape through Blood Escape, have you asked my Shen Ji Tower?" However, at that moment, a muffled voice rang out, and suddenly, a terrifyingly gigantic tower that covered the sky appeared in the heavens.
The tower emitted a thick glow, immediately locking the entire void in place. Even the blood light formed from the sacrifice of countless demon souls did not allow the man in the black robe to leave through Blood Escape!
"Mo Xuan, old demon, leave the Golden Dragon Fruit behind!" A figure walked out of the void, none other than the Shen Ji True Person of the Qingxuan Sect's Shen Ji Peak.
"Shen Ji, weren't you in closed-door cultivation? How are you here?" Mo Xuan True Person's face was extremely unsightly at this moment; he had never thought his foolproof plan would be thwarted by the Qingxuan Sect.
But he immediately spoke again:
"Old Daoist Shen Ji, even if you stabilize the situation in Yunzhou here, how will you stabilize the border between Zhao and Chu?"
Shen Ji True Person did not immediately respond but turned his head to look at the others engaged in the fierce battle in the void.
"Fellow demonic race, let's stop and talk as well, why suffer over a momentary conflict after hundreds of years of cultivation!" The Demon Kings, including Jin Peng, also immediately stopped.
After speaking and seeing no one ceasing their battles, Shen Ji True Person suddenly unleashed his cultivation level fully. A terrifying wave of spirit might immediately covered the entire heavens and earth.
"Golden Core Perfection!"
Mo Xuan's face turned even paler. Despite all their calculations, they hadn't expected Shen Ji True Person to achieve Golden Core Perfection.
The Demon Kings, sensing Shen Ji True Person's cultivation level, also immediately halted. For now, with three Golden Core True Persons and a Fifth Rank Spirit Beast on the Qingxuan Sect's side, they were powerless to fight back.
Especially now, facing Shen Ji True Person.
"Human race friends, just now, the Cloud Flood Dragon was in a frenzy, and I assume it will also arrive at some point," Jin Peng, the Demon King, also spoke with some trepidation.
The rage of having their offspring captured was gradually cooling down.
The breach of Qingyun City was enough to deter the human race.
…
The human True Persons and Demon Kings began to negotiate, and Lin Shiming also let out a sigh of relief.
Then, the following content was dominated by a formation, and he could not learn more about it.
But it was clearly evident that the beast tide was coming to an end.
Even more advantageous for the Lin Family was that the Qingxuan Tower was said to be a treasure of the Qingxuan Sect, a Fifth Rank Supreme Grade magical treasure.
Li Chuanhuan and the demon cultivator Golden Core, naturally, could not escape.
"Shiming, let's go back to the family," Lin Xianzhi glanced at the family members. Out of the forty Qi Cultivators, only fifteen remained, two-thirds had died.
These were the elite of the family, after all.
