After returning from the Hall of Duzhen, Huo Xuan went back to the Hall of Daylight to meditate and digest what he had gained from the battle. 【
Three days later, a brocade box was sent from the Hall of Duzhen. After he opened it, he saw a Thunder Talisman in it. There was also a letter from Zhang Yan stating that this item was made by Zhenren Pang from the Huanzhen Temple at the Pool of Thunder. During a battle, he only needed to use it on a magical weapon and he would be able to subdue the demon within two to four hours.
Huo Xuan thought about what Zhang Yan had said earlier and could guess that Zhenren Pang must have paid a heavy price this time. He told the disciple next to him, "Take the Dan Jade that I prepared and send it to the Hall of Duzhen."
The disciple bowed and immediately went to make arrangements.
After getting the Thunder Talisman, Huo Xuan felt that he had a higher chance of subduing the demon. He calmed his mind and focused on regulating his breathing so that he could recover the lost kung fu before he really started.
After another ten days or so, a jade talisman flew out from the Upper Extreme Hall and stopped in front of the Daylight Hall. It floated there and did not move. It only let out three feet of golden light that shone on everything in front of the hall.
Huo Xuan sensed it in the hall and waved his hand to bring it in. He placed it on his palm and saw a line of small words on it. It said, "There is a filthy light in the Dongsheng Continent. The sky is filled with filthy poison and it almost covered the sun and moon. It is suspected that the demon is there."
After he looked at it, the words disappeared and only the shiny Jade Talisman was left.
Sensing the spiritual vigor in the jade, he knew that the task of subduing the demon would depend on this item. He carefully kept it in his bag.
He thought, "So this demon went to the Dongsheng Continent. If I didn't calculate it, it would be hard to find him. But it makes it easier for me to do things."
The Sky Demon was not in the Donghua Continent. He had less to worry about, which was a good thing.
From the few words in the letter, the demon's kung fu seemed to have improved. Since there was no one in the Dongsheng Continent who could help him, he had to be extra careful when dealing with him. It was a small matter if he made a mistake, but the sect's reputation was the most important.
He looked down at the dozen or so jade scrolls on the table. These were the records of Sima Quan's actions that were sent over by the sect's disciples. He had been cultivating diligently for the past few days and hadn't had the time to look at it, but now he took a few glances. He wrote them all down.
However, he noticed something amidst all of this. Although Sima Quan liked to come up with strange and unscrupulous schemes, it could be seen from what he had done in the past. As long as he had his eyes on something, he would use any means possible to obtain it. In order to achieve his goal, he would often take a risk, and there were a few times where he almost lost his life.
From this, he came to a conclusion, "Although this person has become a devil, his behavior hasn't changed much since then. It can be seen that his temperament is still the same. We can make good use of this. "
In the next three days, he settled all the matters in the hall in an orderly manner. He also understood the current situation in Dong Sheng Continent. Only then did he set off on his journey. He rode the wind and flew towards Dong Sheng.
This time, in order to avoid alerting the Sky Demon, he tried to hide his Qi dynamic. It did not alarm anyone.
A month later, they had already crossed the ocean. Outside the East Victory Continent.
He stood on the ocean and raised his head to look at the continent. He saw a thick Dragon Python Qi in the north, which should be where Luo Zeze was. Since it wasn't his destination, he didn't look too much. He turned his gaze to the south and saw two Spiritual Qi rushing into the sky. It should be the Grotto-Heaven Cultivators.
However, he was slightly suspicious. Originally, he found out that there were three Grotto-Heaven Cultivators guarding Dong Sheng South Continent, but now he only saw two Qi dynamic. However, he didn't see a third person. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the other person has reincarnated?"
As for whether or not the other person had hidden his Qi dynamic, the possibility of that was very small.
Firstly, not everyone could do such a thing. He only knew how to do it after he went to the Golden Pavilion to read the books. Secondly, the other party was in his own territory and should be used to intimidate enemies. There was no need for him to be so secretive.
He couldn't help but have a thought in his mind. "Could this be because of the Sky Demon?"
Thinking to this point, he reached into his sleeve and took out the Jade Talisman. He threw it into the sky and the jade turned to the southeast. The front of the jade gradually turned as black as ink.
A wisp of golden flames leaped up in Huo Xuan's eyes as he looked in that direction. After a long time, he felt that there seemed to be a gloomy, strange, and vexing aura hidden somewhere in the southern continent, and he was immediately able to confirm that the demon resided there!
He waved his hand and put the Jade Talisman down. He thought to himself, "There are two Grotto-Heaven Cultivators in Dong Sheng South Continent. If I go there rashly, it might cause a dispute. It seems like I need to inform them first. The Deep Abyss Sect here is my Qincang Sect. I can ask them to come forward and do this."
It wasn't that he was afraid of them, but this trip was to subdue the demon. This was his first priority. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned to the north and headed towards the Deep Abyss Sect.
On the observatory of the Deep Abyss Sect, Fu Baoxing was studying when he suddenly felt a flash of light in the sky. He then saw a talisman flying over and landing in front of the steps of the temple.
He recognized that it was the Central Token of Qincang School. His heart trembled and he took it. After looking at it, he said to the boy beside him, "I suddenly gained something recently. I need to cultivate in seclusion. You guys go and take care of the disciples. You don't have to come here for the next few days. Also, inform the others that they are not to step onto the altar without my permission."
The boy didn't dare disobey, and he hurriedly withdrew himself. In next to no time, all the attendants beneath the altar had left as well.
Fu Baoxing took out the Sect Leader Jade Seal from his sleeve and gently rubbed it with his palm. Immediately, the restriction of the mountain gate was opened.
Just at this moment, a bright scarlet light descended from the sky and landed on the star platform. Then, the light scattered to reveal a cultivator with a thin face and a pair of bright eyes. Gold and fire Qi swirled around his body. The heat was intense and the sound of metal clanking could be heard. As he took a step, the altar under his feet trembled as if it was about to collapse.
He seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and immediately restrained the Qi dynamic on his body. Only then did the surroundings calm down.
Fu Baoxing's heart was slightly relieved. He came forward and bowed, saying, "Deep Abyss Sect's leader, Fu Baoxing, welcomes High Sect's Spiritual Master Huo."
Huo Xuan looked at him and smiled, "Martial Nephew Fu, I have a friendship with your master, Spiritual Master Zhang. There's no need to be so formal."
Fu Baoxing said, "This place is simple and crude. It's not a place to entertain guests. Why don't Spiritual Master follow Martial Nephew back to the residence? It'll be easier to entertain you."
Huo Xuan shook his head, "There's no need. I'm here on the orders of the sect to come to Dongsheng Continent to exterminate the Heavenly Demon. This matter can't be delayed. I'll leave after I tell you something."
Fu Baoxing was shocked. He thought to himself, "Is this demon in Dongsheng?" However, he looked calm and said, "Please give me your instructions, High Sect's Spiritual Master."
Huo Xuan saw that his expression did not change when he heard that the Heavenly Demon was here. Instead, there was a look of admiration in his eyes. He said, "I heard that there are three grotto-heaven cultivators in the South Continent of Dongsheng. This time, I'm going to exterminate the demon. I need you to pass a message to them to prevent any misunderstandings."
Fu Baoxing said, "This is not difficult. Martial Nephew, write a letter immediately and pass it to the leaders of the three sects. They can then pass it to the three Spiritual Masters."
Huo Xuan suddenly asked, "Is there always three grotto-heaven cultivators in the South Continent?"
Fu Baoxing said, "That's right."
Huo Xuan nodded and said, "The Heavenly Demon can fight with us. Martial Nephew, you have to guard the sect for the next few days. Don't go out."
Fu Baoxing said, "Ever since I heard that the Heavenly Demon was born, I have closed the sect. This place has been restricted by my teacher. As long as the Heavenly Demon is not here, it will not be damaged."
Huo Xuan said, "That's good."
Fu Baoxing excused himself and went to write a letter. He then sent it to Tianzhong.
After half a day, a letter came back. He took it and read it. He said, "Spiritual Master Huo, the three Spiritual Masters want to meet with you. They said they have something important to discuss with you. Their tone is very serious."
Huo Xuan sat on the spot and thought for a while. He thought to himself, "They are so eager to meet me. Maybe I'm right. Something has happened. If that's the case, I have to meet them to understand the details."
He opened his mouth and said, "Martial Nephew, write another letter. Tell them to prevent the demon from noticing anything strange. Tell them to come and meet you using light and shadow."
Fu Baoxing agreed and went down to do as he was told.
However, after four hours, Huo Xuan suddenly felt something. He looked up at the sky and with a shake of his body, a ray of light flew out.
When he reached the top of the sky, he saw two rays of light coming from the opposite side. They stopped in front of him. They were two bamboo talismans. They spun on the ground and two shadows appeared. Their faces were blurry, and one could only make out their figures.
When the two saw Huo Xuan, they bowed and said, "Are you Spiritual Master Huo from Donghua Continent?"
Huo Xuan returned the greeting and said, "That's me."
The one on the left said, "I am Ji Xiangping from Qing Xuan Sect. I heard from Spiritual Master that a demon has come to Dongsheng Continent. I wonder what kind of demon it is."
Huo Xuan saw that the two did not know anything about the Heavenly Demon, so he roughly told them about its origin.
After listening, the two were shocked. Ji Xiangping said, "There is such a fierce demon in the world?"
Gan Shouting said bitterly, "I won't hide it from Spiritual Master Huo. A hundred days ago, when Spiritual Master Hang of Ku Xin Sect was cultivating, he was attacked by an external demon and lost his life. I think it was this demon."
When Huo Xuan heard this, he frowned and his expression became serious.
He was confident that he could suppress Sima Quan, but his foundation was not strong enough. However, if he swallowed a grotto-heaven's soul, his cultivation would definitely increase greatly, so he had to be careful.
Ji Xiangping bowed and said, "This demon is vicious. As cultivators of Dongsheng Continent, we cannot just sit and watch. If Spiritual Master Huo needs our help, please let us know."
Gan Shouting bowed as well.
After Hang Yuyan's death, the two were shocked and afraid. However, they only knew that the opponent was an external demon, but they did not know how to deal with it. Now that someone had come to surrender, they were more than willing. If Huo Xuan failed, they would not have it easy either, so they were willing to help from the side.
Huo Xuan looked at the two and said, "That's fine. Fellow Daoists, why don't we make a good plan?"
At this moment, in an underground cave at the southwest downstream of Dongsheng Continent's Five Dragons River, Sima Quan sat inside.
After swallowing Hang Yuyan's soul, not only did his cultivation improve greatly, but he also gained a few more supernatural powers. With just a thought, he could even sense all the clones he had left in Donghua Continent. It was as if he could teleport back and forth between them with just a thought.
However, they were separated by oceans. Even if he could teleport, it would not be without a price, so he did not plan to do so.
The only flaw was that the demonic nature had also grown stronger, so it would be difficult to get rid of it.
He took out a ball of Yin Fire and thought, "The cultivators of Dongsheng Continent are so weak, and they don't know how to subdue demons. It's convenient for me to make a move. After I forge this treasure, I'll go look for them."
