Chapter 116: Fighting the Demon Cultivator
"It seems that I am forcing it too much. Transformation is not that easy."
Lu Luan shook his head and muttered to himself, but then he turned his eyes and looked at it again and said, "Although there is no transformation, your ability should have improved a lot."
After all, those insect eggs are not eaten in vain.
Then he put it on the table, and the little guy held his belly, looking at him with his bright eyes and eager eyes.
Lu Luan smiled gently, knowing that it was starving, and he waved his hand and took out a few ordinary spiritual herbs.
The little guy was overjoyed and immediately picked it up and started to nibble on it bit by bit.
Lu Luan tilted his head, propped it up with his hand, tapped lightly on the table with his other free finger, looked at the little fellow who was wolfing down the food, and said:
"After you finish eating, go and try to see how your abilities have improved. Don't let me down."
He is now at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and especially after practicing the Innate Five Qi Technique, his six senses have become more sensitive. He has a good perception of the spiritual energy within thirty to forty feet around him, so we still expect the little guy's abilities to improve a little.
Half an hour later.
Outside the city, Lu Luan looked at the medicine insect in his hand and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, more than a hundred feet, it seems that you can help this time."
At this moment, he already roughly knew the little guy's sensing range, and he felt that the love he had shown him was not in vain.
The range in which the little guy could sense murderous aura was about the same as that of the spiritual grass. This would allow him to sense abnormalities several steps ahead of others in the upcoming battle with the demon cultivators.
"It's just strange. You're only half grown. This is the limit of the range that an adult can sense, right?" Lu Luan looked at the little guy in his hand with a strange look.
"Haha, I think some transformation has occurred, but it's not complete." Lu Luan gently tapped its head lovingly.
After figuring it out, he went back.
Although it was night, it was not far from the city, so he was not too worried about his safety.
……
Day two.
"Is it time to set off?"
Lu Luan noticed the movement, whispered and woke up from his practice, then silently said: "I hope to get some good treasures, so that I can exchange them for spirit stones to heal Master."
Then he tidied himself up for a while and then walked out.
Others also came out one after another and started to gather below.
After Yin Ming and Chen Qiyuan discussed it, he said to everyone: "Dear fellow brothers and sisters, there are a total of 18 of us in our group. We will divide you into four groups. In the next battle, it is mainly up to the four of you to cooperate with each other and advance and retreat together."
Then they were divided into groups according to their strength.
Lu Luan and a male disciple from the same sect were grouped with two people from the Taixu Sect, one male and one female.
"Brother Lu, Brother Wang, please take good care of me."
The woman from Taixu Sect was at the peak of the seventh level. Her name was Liu Ling. She had the weakest cultivation among the four. She was smiling sweetly at Lu Luan and the other person.
Lu Luan just nodded slightly.
It was just that Liu Ling was beautiful, so the other male disciple of Zhengyang Sect looked crazy and patted his chest to assure: "Miss Liu, don't worry, I will definitely keep you safe."
The man from Taixu Sect also said, "Brother Lu, Brother Wang, Junior Sister Liu has the weakest cultivation base, so we need to pay more attention to her."
"Ah."
"Ah."
After that, Yin Ming and the other man gave them some detailed warnings, and then took them out of the inn, left the city, and flew into the mountains.
Where they were going was the outskirts of the demon cultivators' stronghold.
……
……
About a quarter of an hour later.
"There is a mortal town ahead. Let's go and take a look."
The group passed through the fog and saw a row of small houses looming in the valley ahead.
This place is very far away from the immortal gate, so naturally there will be mortals living here.
Soon, they appeared above the town.
This is a stone town with about a thousand households. To ordinary people, it is already a big town, but in the eyes of immortal cultivators, it is just a speck of dust. However...
Although it was already dawn, the town was still dead silent, without any life, and extremely quiet. Not to mention the sight of people, not even a dog barking or a bird singing could be heard.
It would be more accurate to say that it has rotted and died rather than being still asleep.
The houses are still intact, but the shocking dry black scabs on the ground show what happened in this stone town.
"Looks like we're late."
Chen Qiyuan said with a frown.
"Look around first."
Yin Ming said.
Then the four of them formed a team and began searching the town.
Lu Luan looked at the palm of his hand. The little guy hadn't moved at all. It seemed that the surroundings were still safe.
"Are all the people in this town dead?"
While searching, Liu Ling asked softly.
Lu Luan's expression showed no change. He nodded and replied, "They must have died at the hands of the demon cultivators."
"Well, it's better to cultivate immortality. At least when the demons attack, we still have the power to resist."
Wang Lang of Qingyun Peak exclaimed.
Lu Luan agreed in his heart. When he was a casual cultivator, he envied the life of ordinary people who worked from sunrise to sunset.
But now, after seeing what had happened to the town, he knew that in the face of these great changes, mortals were the most miserable. They were like ants, with fragile lives and no control over their own life and death.
"Snapped!"
"Ok?"
When the four flew to a large house, they suddenly heard some noise inside.
"There is a situation!"
The four of them immediately became alert.
"go with!"
Deng Yi of Taixu Sect had a thought, and a fireball appeared in his hand and fell into the courtyard.
boom!
There was a loud bang, and the room immediately became lively, followed by several wild foxes running out.
When others heard the explosion, they thought they had discovered something and flew over immediately.
But after realizing it was a false alarm, they all left.
"Brother Deng, don't be so impulsive next time."
Lu Luan smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect Deng Yi to react so strongly. What if there was a surviving mortal inside?
Deng Yi also felt a little embarrassed and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was worried that there were demon cultivators hiding in there. If they suddenly attacked us, it would be disadvantageous to us, so I thought of striking first."
A few people shook their heads and continued searching.
In the air, Chen Qiyuan held a magic plate in his hand with a puzzled look on his brow.
Yin Ming asked from the side: "Brother Chen, have you found anything?"
This magic disk is obviously used to track down demonic cultivators.
They don't have their primordial spirits yet and cannot release their spiritual consciousness, so naturally they can only use this method to search for the traces of the evil cultivators.
Chen Qiyuan replied: "I don't know if it's because of the remaining demonic energy, the magic disk is not clear."
"Hmm?" Yin Ming frowned. This magic disk would be disturbed by the evil spirit, so it seemed useless.
Chen Qiyuan added: "Brother Yin, don't worry. As long as the demon cultivator reveals his aura, it will be detected immediately."
"Come on, there's a discovery!"
After a while, a woman's voice was heard, but there was a hint of fear in her tone, as if she had seen something terrifying.
Everyone flew away immediately, and took out their own magic weapons unconsciously.
"Is it in here?"
Soon, Lu Luan appeared outside a large sacrificial hall.
Although the little guy hadn't moved yet, he still became alert.
At this time, a female disciple stood at the door of the sacrificial hall with a look of fear, and the other three people in her group also looked strange.
"This……"
Lu Luan walked over and when he saw the scene, his face immediately changed.
Because inside, there were actually dried corpses! They were so densely packed that they filled up the entire temple! It was as if the essence of the flesh and blood had been drained away, leaving only a cracked skin.
And looking at the hideous and terrifying faces of these corpses, it is not difficult to know how much painful torture they endured during their lifetime!
The most shocking thing is that in the center of the hall, there are many tiny figures hanging, hung on the roof by iron hooks.
These are teenagers, children and even babies in the town!
Even though they were cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts after seeing this scene.
Yin Ming landed in front of them, took a look inside, shook his head and said, "These are all methods used by the demon cultivators. They love to use living people to make pills and weapons, draining their spirits and blood bit by bit, causing them to suffer heart-wrenching pain and collecting resentment."
"How abominable!"
Some disciples said this with gritted teeth.
"Alas, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, all gone."
After several people flew into the air, Chen Qiyuan took out a talisman and threw it down.
"boom!"
A raging fire broke out instantly.
"Woo..."
"Woo..."
As the fire engulfed them, the remaining souls that had been reluctant to leave their bodies began to wail, dancing in the flames, and telling of their misery with sharp and creepy howls.
These are extremely strong resentments that are deeply rooted in the corpses and difficult to disappear.
Thousands of bodies, including the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, no one was spared, it was a shocking sight.
Lu Luan looked at him with a bad expression.
After a while, all the resentment was burned out by the flames, and the last wave of mental fluctuations emanated.
When this spiritual wave swept across Lu Luan, at that moment, he saw these mortals trapped in a huge magic formation, struggling and wailing in pain, being deprived of their lives bit by bit, despairing and helpless.
“Is this the demon cultivator?”
Lu Luan muttered to himself. He now clearly understood what a demon was. Of course, there were many sinister and cunning villains among the immortal cultivators, but because they were afraid of the outbreak of their inner demons and the demise of their lives, there were not many who could do such a thing as a demon cultivator.
On the contrary, slaying demons and eliminating evil can also enlighten one's mind and be beneficial to one's cultivation.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Lu Luan's face changed drastically because the little guy in his hand felt the murderous aura!
But it disappeared in an instant.
"There are demon cultivators!"
Lu Luan looked around vigilantly. Although he knew there were demon cultivators, he did not say anything. After all, the little guy was his secret.
After what happened with Zhou Yu, he would no longer trust anyone easily. Who could guarantee that if he told others about it, the two powerful people next to him wouldn't become covetous?
"Ok?"
Chen Qiyuan picked up the formation plate and frowned.
Yin Ming noticed his strangeness and immediately understood.
"Dear fellow students."
Chen Qiyuan said to everyone and gave a look at the same time.
"Have you found the demon cultivator?"
Everyone immediately became serious.
After a while, Chen Qiyuan looked towards the dry well beside the temple, moved the sword in his hand, and shouted:
"Come out!"
Then a huge sword energy slashed down, and the violent attack destroyed everything within the surrounding twenty feet, and thick dust filled the air.
Everyone immediately formed teams and surrounded them.
"puff……"
"puff……"
After a while, several puffs of black smoke flew out and fled in all directions.
These demons must have been absorbing the remaining resentment in the corpses. They were discovered when they saw the burning of the sacrificial hall and the fluctuation of its aura.
"Where to run!"
Lu Luan aimed at the demon closest to him, shouted, and then rushed over with his flying sword to stop it.
"it is good!"
Seeing that the demon had been dragged down, Wang Lang immediately picked up his knife and chopped at him.
"Damn it!"
The demon cultivator dodged in panic and tried to escape, but was held tightly by Lu Luan's four flying swords and could not break free.
"Demon Fire Skeleton!"
Seeing that everyone had surrounded him, the demon cultivator roared angrily, and dozens of skulls burning with demonic energy flew out of his body.
"This is?"
It was the first time that Lu Luan had seen such a method. He did not dare to be careless. Without thinking too much, he immediately swung his sword and cut it off.
But unexpectedly, his sword energy successfully chopped the skeleton away.
"Haha, it turns out that you are only at the seventh level of Qi Refining."
He saw the realm of this demon cultivator. The other three were also a little surprised at first, but after fighting with the demon cultivator several times, they became familiar with his attacks and their eyes gradually calmed down.
"Haha, the devil cultivators are just like this."
Deng Yi chuckled, and then a huge sword light burst out.
"not good!"
The demon cultivator sensed the fatal danger and immediately took out a talisman, which actually blocked the attack!
"High-level spiritual talisman!" Lu Luan was shocked. After all, what else could the talisman that could block a sword from someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining be if not a high-level spiritual talisman?
"Hmph!" The demon cultivator's hands moved again.
"besides!"
After seeing him use a talisman, Lu Luan actually took out another one and threw it at Liu Ling.
Soon, the talisman launched a terrible attack.
Liu Ling's face turned pale with fright in an instant.
"Hmph!" Fortunately, Lu Luan was close by and summoned the four flying swords, taking a defensive stance and blocking the attack.
However, the gap had been opened, and the demon cultivator immediately flew out at an incredibly fast speed. It seemed that he had some flying talisman.
"Want to run?"
Lu Luan frowned and immediately used the Flowing Shadow Technique to chase after him.
It only took four breaths to stop it with one sword.
"Die!" After all, he was only a demon cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining. After exhausting all his means, he was cut down by Lu Luan with four or five swords.
"what!"
Another sword strike, the demon cultivator screamed, and then fell to the ground motionless.
"go with!"
Lu Luan's mind moved, and the flying sword continued to stab forward, making four large holes in the body of the demon cultivator, and only then did he feel relieved.
"I wonder what treasures are in there?"
Lu Luan landed beside the demon cultivator's corpse and picked up his storage bag.
Others also gathered around curiously.
But after opening it, we were all a little disappointed.
Because it was almost empty, with only some pills to restore magic power, and all the talismans had been consumed.
Moreover, they have no use for this medicine.
The demon cultivators were not stupid. They knew that some immortal cultivators hunted them just to plunder their treasures, so they exchanged all their wealth for means to save their lives.
In fact, many independent cultivators are also like this. In order to prevent being killed and their treasures taken, they never put much wealth in their storage bags. Once they have spirit stones, they either use them to buy elixirs to improve their strength, or forge magic weapons or exchange them for talismans as a means of saving their lives.
……
During this time, the other groups also successfully killed the demon cultivators they were targeting without any danger.
"Brother Lu is really powerful."
Deng Yi looked at him in surprise. After all, the attack released by Lu Luan was stronger than his.
Lu Luan shook his head and smiled: "No, it's just that the magic weapon is quite powerful."
"Brother Lu, thank you so much. Otherwise, I would have lost another protective talisman." Liu Ling also thanked him gratefully.
Lu Luan said: "We are a group, we should help each other."
After talking with a few people for a while, he looked not far away and saw a bright red head, but its owner was dead and it was covered with cracks and was already useless.
Lu Luan opened his hands and sucked it in.
"This must be the magic weapon of the demon cultivator."
Liu Ling looked at it and said.
After Lu Luan inspected it for a while, he said silently: "This demon cultivator's magic weapon is really a bit weird. If we are not on guard, we will suffer a great loss."
Wang Lang said: "Although it has been destroyed, if we take it back to the sect, we can get a lot of rewards."
After all, this skeleton is made of various treasures and has some value.
"I think the demon was killed by Brother Lu, so let's give this thing to Brother Lu, what do you think?" Deng Yi suggested.
"I agree."
"I agree too." The other two smiled and nodded without objection.
"Thank you very much."
Lu Luan bowed and thanked him, but he was not too polite. After all, another purpose of his coming was to take the opportunity to obtain spirit stones to buy pills for his master to heal his injuries.
