Ouyang Ming was slightly startled when he heard this. He sized up Zhao Qianying and couldn't help but laugh.
"So it's Fairy Zhao. Your transformation technique is superb. I didn't see any flaws. I'm really impressed."
"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist," Zhao Qianying replied with a smile.
Liu Ming glanced at the two and landed on the ground. He waved his finger and the Cyan Demon Blade shot out, splitting the heads of the four demonic corpses.
To his surprise, there was nothing in the heads of the other three demonic corpses except for an egg-sized Corpse Pearl in the head of the golden-haired demonic corpse.
Liu Ming guessed that the Corpse Pearl would only appear when the demonic corpses had lived for a certain amount of time.
He put away the Demonic Corpse Pearl and flew back.
Ouyang Ruo and Zhao Qianying saw Liu Ming's actions. Zhao Qianying's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything. Ouyang Ming, on the other hand, was surprised.
He asked curiously, "I didn't expect this to exist in the demonic corpses. It looks like the inner core of a demonic beast, but it's filled with Corpse Qi. Why does Brother Liu want it?"
"This Demonic Corpse Pearl is useless to me, but it is useful to a friend of mine." Liu Ming didn't explain too much and replied casually.
"I see." Ouyang Ming saw that Liu Ming didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask further.
Liu Ming changed the topic and said, "By the way, Brother Ouyang, the inner abyss is unpredictable. We don't know what dangers lie ahead. Why don't we travel together?"
This was the reason why he came with Zhao Qianying. The danger in the inner abyss was far beyond his expectations. The two of them had been in danger several times before they even saw the shadow of the Demon Abyss Tower.
Although Zhao Qianying had many treasures, her cultivation wasn't high. She couldn't help him much when they were in danger. Ouyang Ming, on the other hand, was extremely powerful and would be a great help.
"That's exactly what I want." Ouyang Ming naturally wouldn't object.
Zhao Qianying stood to the side. She seemed to have guessed Liu Ming's intention and did not say anything.
When Liu Ming saw that Ouyang Ming had agreed, his face lit up with joy.
In the following period of time, the three of them did not stay there for long. After a brief discussion, they quickly left the place and flew towards the depths of the cemetery.
After the three of them left, a ripple appeared in the void behind a damaged building not far away, and a golden figure slowly emerged. It was the golden puppet beside the cold-faced woman.
At this moment, a pair of intelligent eyes looked in the direction that Liu Ming and the others had flown off to, and a thoughtful expression appeared on its face.
After a long while, it raised its hand and a blue light flashed in its hand. A blue skull appeared. However, this blue skull was covered in spirit patterns. It was clearly a magic tool.
The golden puppet opened its mouth and spouted a golden light. The golden light flashed and fell on the cyan skeleton. The cyan skeleton's originally empty eyes immediately glowed with a cyan light. Then, it suddenly opened its mouth and issued a suction force.
The surrounding red mist gathered in the skeleton's mouth, and after a while, it condensed into a faint red spell formation.
"Golden Luan, why have you called me? Could it be that there's a problem with Ouyang Ming? "The cold-faced woman's voice rang out from the spell formation.
"Master, it's like this …" The golden puppet immediately gave a simple explanation of what had just happened.
"Oh, it's that Liu Ming again …" The cold-faced woman's voice paused in the spell formation, and she seemed to be talking to herself.
The golden puppet waited for a moment, but the cold-faced woman did not speak, so it asked, "The three of them have already left and are heading towards the depths of the cemetery. Should I continue to follow them?"
"There's no need. Since Liu Ming is accompanying them, Ouyang Ming's safety should not be a problem. Come back first, I just happen to have something that I need you to do here," the cold-faced woman said indifferently from within the spell formation.
Her voice had barely faded when the eyes of the cyan skeleton magic tool in the golden puppet's hand flashed with a green light. Then, it shattered with a "Pa" sound. An even more magnificent red spell formation wrapped around the golden puppet. Then, the spell formation flashed, and the golden puppet's figure disappeared without a trace.
The golden puppet's vision blurred, and in the next moment, its figure appeared on top of an altar-like building.
The cold-faced woman and the black puppet were both on top of the altar.
The black puppet was currently sitting cross-legged on the altar, and its body was emitting a dense black light. A huge bloodshot eyeball floated above its head, and it emitted rays of light that were as thin as hair. The rays of light merged into the surrounding void, and disappeared without a trace.
The cold-faced woman stood quietly to the side, and her eyes flickered as she looked in the direction of the altar.
The soil under the altar was dark, and it was still within the boundaries of the cemetery. The surroundings were filled with red mist, but there was a yellowish-brown ground a thousand feet away from the altar. There seemed to be an invisible barrier there, and it blocked the red mist of the cemetery on the other side.
"Master." The golden puppet walked to the cold-faced woman's side, and it bowed.
The cold-faced woman turned around and said, "It's been hard on you to secretly protect Ouyang Ming during this period of time."
The golden puppet hurriedly said, "Master, you're too kind. This is subordinate's duty."
"Master." At this moment, the black puppet stopped casting the spell and stood up.
The cold-faced woman turned around and asked a random question, "How is the situation?"
"Reporting to Master, I've basically investigated everything. Right now, there are four other teams in the Ancient Devil Tomb besides us. They are the Liu family and the Kong Xiang family's alliance, the HuangFu family and the Long family's alliance, Liu Ming, Ouyang Ming, and a young woman's team, and Gao He Yan from the noble family. "The black puppet clearly knew what the cold-faced woman was referring to, and it quickly replied.
"Gao He Yan? I remember that he seems to have joined forces with a family to enter the inner abyss. Why is he the only one left? "The cold-faced woman's eyes flashed, and she seemed to be a little surprised.
"They should have learned about the Demon Abyss Tower in the Demon Abyss, so they rashly followed us in. In the end, they suffered heavy losses at the Han Mo Forest, and almost all of them were wiped out. In the end, only Gao He Yan came to the cemetery, "the black puppet said in a calm voice.
"Hmph, stupid people!" The cold-faced middle-aged woman sneered.
"Among these four teams, the only ones that can obstruct Master's important matter should be the Liu family and the HuangFu family. I just don't know how much they know about the situation inside the Demon Abyss Tower, "the black puppet continued.
The cold-faced middle-aged woman was silent, and she shook her head slightly, as if she didn't agree with the black puppet's opinion, but she didn't say it.
The black puppet and the golden puppet looked at each other, and they quietly stood to the side without saying anything.
The cold-faced woman was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Where are the four teams at? How long will it take for them to pass through the cemetery?"
"They basically all have methods to restrain the devil corpses in the cemetery. I estimate that the fastest team will pass through the cemetery in at most half a day," the black puppet hurriedly replied.
The cold-faced woman nodded and said, "Good. Since there's still some time, I'll go take care of a few things first."
"Master, what about Ouyang Ming …?" the golden puppet asked.
"It's fine. Just let him follow that Liu Ming," the cold-faced woman said indifferently.
"Understood," the golden puppet nodded.
With that, the cold-faced woman waved her sleeves, and azure light enveloped the three of them. Then, they transformed into streaks of azure light that shot towards the yellowish-brown soil.
… …
At that moment, a streak of blue light flew through the poisonous corpse devil miasma in the outermost region of the inner abyss. It was none other than Jackdaw himself.
His face was pale, and his clothes were tattered. Traces of blood could even be seen on his body. He didn't have the graceful bearing of an Arcane Enlightenment expert at all.
Jackdaw was extremely depressed. During this trip to the inner abyss, not only had he failed to obtain any great treasures as he'd hoped, but the four Celestial Phenomenon Devils who'd come with him had all died here. One of them was even his direct descendant.
With this in mind, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, seemingly cursing something. It was hard to tell if he was cursing himself or Gao Heyan.
From time to time, one or two devils would fly out of the surrounding miasma and pounce at him. However, before they could get close, the frigid air he emitted froze them into ice cubes and sent them plummeting to the ground.
Gradually, the surrounding poisonous corpse devil miasma thinned out. It seemed they were about to reach the end.
Jackdaw's face lit up with joy. There was still half a year until the end of the Demonic Abyss. With his strength, he could still find some treasures left behind by the ancient demons after a short rest.
"Hehe, since ancient times, no one has been able to leave the inner abyss? What a joke! "
Thinking of this, Jackdaw's mood improved quite a bit. The blue light around him grew thicker, and he sped up.
At that moment, something strange happened!
The surrounding miasma suddenly began to tumble, like a pot of boiling water, abruptly bubbling.
Immediately afterward, the poisonous corpse devil miasma around them began to spin wildly. A giant vortex three hundred meters wide appeared, and an indescribably powerful suction force tugged at Jackdaw's body. He couldn't help but deviate from his path.
Jackdaw's expression changed, but he didn't panic. He'd already passed through this place once before. Although this miasma was incomparably toxic, it wasn't dangerous for a Profound Understanding cultivator like him as long as he was careful. As for the demonic creatures in the miasma, they naturally weren't much of a threat.
With a low shout, blue light erupted from his body, forming a blue halo that protected him.
At the same time, he muttered an incantation, and with a flash of light, a blue halberd appeared in his hand. He fiercely slashed at the surrounding miasma vortex.
A vast blue blade of light emerged from the mist, cleaving the surrounding miasma vortex in half. The suction force disappeared without a trace.
