When Li Fu stepped forward to accept the challenge, the three Demon Marquises could not help but feel surprised. They did not know what he was planning.
However, they really couldn't think of a better way to respond to Ji Cang's challenge. Since they couldn't face the enemy together, one of them had to come out. Since he was willing to go, they wouldn't try to dissuade him.
Luo Mengze stood up and said seriously, "If Marquis Li needs anything, you can tell us. The Python Tribe will definitely help."
Li Fu did not stand on ceremony and said, "Thank you, Marquis Luo. I was also interested in borrowing your tribe's treasure."
When Qu Yue and Yan Huiguang heard this, they also expressed that as long as it was their tribe's treasure, they could lend it to him.
Li Fu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, but this is still not enough. Ever since Taiming Grandmaster established the Qincang School, we have been fighting for tens of thousands of years and they know us very well. Especially that Lu Junyang is Yan Changsheng's disciple. Even if he had just formed his cave not long ago, if I do not have any powerful means, I might not be able to fight against him."
Luo Mengze said, "Marquis Li seems to have a plan, but what do you want to do?"
Li Fu looked at the three of them and stroked his beard, "Everyone should know that the Dragon God left behind a few treasures. I remember that one of them is still in the hands of His Majesty. If it can be used to help me, I might be able to win this battle."
As soon as he said this, the three of them came to a realization. It turned out that they were after this treasure from the very beginning.
Luo Mengze looked at Qu Yue and saw the latter nodding his head, he said, "This battle is important. Marquis Qu and I are willing to work together with Marquis Li to convince His Majesty. What does Marquis Yan think?"
Yan Huiguang was a little unwilling. He also had the intention to get his hands on this item, but Ji Wang took advantage of the conflict between him and Li Fu and refused to really take it out. But now that Li Fu was going to fight Lu Junyang, it was not good for him to object. He couldn't object, so he pretended to be magnanimous and said, "This Marquis has no objections."
After the four of them came to an agreement, they went to the main hall.
When Ji Wang heard that the four Demon Marquises had arrived, he immediately panicked. He thought that they were going to do something to him, so he forced himself to calm down. He came out trembling with fear, but when he heard that the Fourth Emperor wanted him to take out the precious pill passed down by the Dragon Monarch, even though he was extremely unwilling, his throne was just an empty title, how could he resist? He could only take it out.
As soon as Li Fu received the pill, it was as if he had obtained a priceless treasure. In his joy, he immediately showed it to the other three. He wrote a reply on the spot and ordered a messenger to deliver it to the Snake Slaying Cliff.
However, he was also careful and set the date of the battle to be two months later.
This was because even if he obtained the pellet, he would still need time to refine it, at least thirty days. Moreover, he judged that Lv Junyang must have come fully prepared. It was extremely inappropriate for him to rush into battle. His chances of winning were low, so he had to plan properly.
Lv Junyang received the reply very quickly. Seeing that the date of the battle was two months later, he did not oppose it. This time, the three temples gave him a lot of pellets, so he asked the sect to borrow a Yuntao Palace. Even if he cultivated in the Grotto-Heaven Realm, he could meditate there to adjust his breathing and consolidate his cultivation.
Moreover, with this period of time as a buffer, he could also take some time to study the various secret techniques that were passed down in Yan Changsheng's handwritten letter.
Very quickly, two months passed. On this day, he suddenly felt something and looked towards the northern sky. He saw a giant raft floating over. This raft seemed to be made of two giant logs. It was not more than a thousand feet wide, but it was four to five miles long. There were six floors on it, and in front of each floor was a big drum. There were people from Cai Yi Tribe standing around, holding wooden staffs and precious hammers. They kept hitting the drums. From afar, one could hear the thumping sound that shook the sky and the earth. Outside the raft, there were green leaves fluttering and dancing, vibrating along with the sound of the drums. It was sometimes slow, sometimes fast, and it was very beautiful.
At the highest point of the raft, a withered old man in a black robe was sitting cross-legged on a huge rattan seat. He held a walking stick in his hand, and his face was kind. His hair and beard were half black and half white, giving him the appearance of an immortal. What attracted people's attention was that beside him, there were many white-haired apes jumping around, rolling and playing. Some of them climbed onto his body, pulling his beard and robe, but he did not mind.
When Lv Junyang's gaze fell on him, he also felt it. He raised his head and cupped his hands towards the top of the tower.
Lv Junyang's expression was indifferent, and he also raised his hand to return the greeting.
Li Fu smiled and used his walking stick to point at the camp of the Demon Tribe below, saying, "Descend there."
"It's Marquis Li."
There were many demon cultivators kneeling on the ground on the riverbank. Most of them were those who had conflicts with the Ape Tribe, but there were also many demon cultivators who were still standing straight. They were the leaders of the Demon Tribe. Because they had not been under the control of the Demon Court for thousands of years, even if they recognized the eight tribes, they did not think that they were their subordinates.
Li Fu looked at them and was secretly surprised.
His Ape Tribe was different from the other three Demon Tribes. Not only did they focus on their own tribe, but they also had many eyes and ears outside.
In the past two months, after asking around for information, he came to the conclusion that the Qincang School was not here to deal with them. From their actions, it was very likely that they were only here to collect spiritual items and materials from the North Darkstar Continent to support the battle in the South Sea.
Since the last time the Qincang School went on an expedition, they had appointed hundreds of stewards of all sizes in the North Darkstar Continent, and even built a Water Kingdom in the Dang Region. Since then, this place was no longer under the control of the Demon Court. However, after the internal strife of the Qincang School, its descendants all became independent.
Therefore, the Demon Court had long abandoned the South and turned to manage the North Continent. Even if it was temporarily occupied by the Qincang School, there was nothing to regret.
Therefore, he believed that the most important thing in this battle was to protect his own life, and not to fight to the death.
As the large wooden raft landed, Luo Jiang turned into a beam of light and flew up. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Marquis Li."
Li Fu smiled amiably and said, "Clan Leader Luo, you don't have to be so courteous. The Southern Demon Tribes are mostly undisciplined and rough, and do not know etiquette. But from what I see, the camp below is neat and orderly, it is your credit."
Luo Jiang Yu sighed and said, "Unfortunately, once that Spiritual Master Lu arrived, it became a plate of loose sand. I really do not know, in front of the Spiritual Masters, what use is this hard work?"
Li Fu laughed and said, "Clan Leader Luo, in today's battle, between me and that Spiritual Master Lu, who has a higher chance of winning?"
Luo Jiang Yu originally wanted to say "Marquis Li will definitely win", but under the other's gaze, he hesitated and said, "This … I really do not know."
Li Fu's smile did not change. He said, "Actually, you also know that I may not be that Spiritual Master Lu's opponent, and if I lose this battle, it is very likely that I will lose my life. It can be seen that even people of my generation do not have the ability to control their own life and death. Moreover, before the great calamity, everyone is the same. Why does Clan Leader Luo need to be so sad? "
After he finished speaking. No matter what Luo Jiang Yu thought, he slowly stood up with the support of his crutch and said loudly, "Spiritual Master Lu, I have already arrived as promised, please come out for a while."
The voice spread far away, and everyone on both sides of the river heard it clearly. They all raised their heads and looked towards the sky at the same time.
Lu Junyang heard Li Fu's challenge and stood up. He calmly walked out of the Yuntao Palace.
Once he was outside, he suddenly felt something. He raised his head slightly and noticed that there was a spirit stone-like treasure hanging high above the clouds, faintly covering the spiritual vigor below.
With his eyesight, it was not difficult for him to recognize that this was Huo Xuan's "Thirty Six Mountains". He knew that this should be used to defend against demon cultivators. Hence, he did not look further and stepped into the air. With every step he took, there would be a cloud of white smoke floating outwards, and he calmly walked forward.
And on the other side, Li Fu also rode on a green cloud and came up.
The two of them stopped at the riverside, and after greeting each other, Li Fu said, "Spiritual Master Lu. I think that you, Qincang, also do not want to see the North Underworld Continent broken, so we can only choose another place to fight. I think that the North Sea is quite suitable, what do you think? "
Lu Junyang practiced both metal and fire Xuan techniques, so he went to the sea to fight. If he went to the sea to fight, he would have half of the home advantage, and the other party would not know. However, since he made such a choice, he must have something to rely on. He looked over and coldly replied, "Okay."
Since it was decided, the two of them turned into two rays of clear light and flew towards the northwest direction.
At the same time, Qi Yuntian, Zhang Yan, and Huo Xuan were sitting in the Upper Extreme Hall. In front of them, there was a smooth jade wall that reflected the current situation.
As for the other ten Grotto-heaven Daoists of the Dark Azure Sect, they were all sitting upright in their own cave abodes at this moment, and they were also using their own means to pay attention to the battle situation at any time. If the Northern Underworld Demon Cultivator dared to make any strange movements, they would naturally act together to suppress it and completely eliminate this disaster.
Almost at the same time, above the South Sea, Tao Zhenren said, "Today is the day when Spiritual Master Lu and the eight Demon Marquis fight, we should also take action."
Zhang Yan previously wrote that in order to prevent Yuxiao school from interfering in the affairs of the North, if possible, they could try to fake an attack. Therefore, he had been watching the construction of the altar these days and did not take action. He was prepared to launch an attack at this time without sparing any mana.
Li Xiumi said, "After months of preparation, today is the day. If it goes well, we can destroy the arrangement on the Fengling Ocean again."
These days, he was more proficient in controlling the Mirage Worm, and he had fed it a lot of inferior jade. The range of the worm's illusory fog was getting wider and wider. If the previous strategy could be successfully carried out and the fog shrouded the opponent's head, then the battle would be half won.
Tao Zhenren said, "Don't underestimate the opponent. Last time, the two of them had many methods that they did not use. This time, we don't want to achieve anything, as long as we can attract the people of Yuxiao school to help us and make them unable to care about the affairs of the North, then our plan will succeed."
Mi Zhenren listened to him and was a little impatient, "So when do we take action?"
Tao Zhenren smiled and nodded to Li Xiumi. The latter did not hesitate to use his mana and a clear air rose to the sky, forming a huge thunder cloud in the vault of heaven. Then, he turned into a Jiao Dragon and entered the cloud. The cloud rumbled and slowly moved towards the direction of Fengling Ocean.
And under the deep sea, the Mirage Worm also left the formation and carefully followed. Wherever it passed, the illusory fog continued to spread on the sea. Under its master's support from above, it created a shocking scene of three thousand feet of waves and a torrent engulfing the land.
This impetus was so great that it caused Zhou Ruying and Wu Yunbi's expressions to change abruptly, and they sat on the altar while waiting with full concentration.
And in Yuxiao school, Zhu Zhen seemed to have noticed that the attack of Tao Zhenhong and the other two was a little unusual and had no choice but to cast their attention in the direction of the South Sea.
And with such a move from the two major sects, clear air spread. From the south to the north, the sky of the three continents was faintly filled with a murderous aura.
The various sects in the Donghua Continent also felt that something was wrong. Regardless of whether it was the Mystic Demons, they were all shocked and wary. Even those who were meditating and observing also retreated one after another to sense the aura and observe the situation, just in case of any changes.
After flying for an hour, Lu and Li Junyang left the North Darkstar Continent and came to the North Sea. However, fighting here could still bring disaster to the continent, so the two did not stop. After another two hours, they stopped Just Now.
At this moment, all they could see was the vast waves of the vast sea. There were originally several North Sea Demon Whales that were as huge as mountains, but when the two arrived, they all fled in panic.
Li Fu said, "Zhenren Lu, what do you think of this place?"
Lu Junyang looked around and said, "We can fight."
The two's eyes met, and as if they had a tacit understanding, they both retreated far away.
When Li Fu was far away, he shouted, "Zhenren Lu, please excuse me."
With a light flick of his sleeve, a flying rock shot out. However, when it was in midair, it kept tumbling and changing. In the end, it had already turned into a mountain range that pressed down on Lv Junyang.
Although he was proficient in the Qi Path, he knew that his mana could not compare to his opponent's. Therefore, he did not use his Dharma and threw out this item. He only wanted to test the depth of his opponent.
Lv Junyang saw that when the mountain came down, the light above his head instantly dimmed. He did not intend to block it and wanted to dodge, but after trying, he realized that he was being held down by a strong force. If he wanted to break free, it would not be difficult, but it would consume a lot of mana, so he might as well face it head-on. Moreover, this was the first time he fought someone after entering the cave. Naturally, he did not want to retreat right away.
He channeled his mana, and suddenly, an uncountable amount of white light and golden Qi flew out from his back, intertwining with each other as if weaving a net. With just a swirl, the small mountain was disintegrated into countless tiny pieces in the blink of an eye, scattering into the sea.
At the same time, he flicked his finger, and there was a rumbling sound. The sky was filled with lightning, and hundreds of golden-white lightning bolts jumped out.
Li Fu was shocked, and said, "Reduce the damage of the golden lightning?"
This was the divine lightning formed by the combination of the metal and water techniques. It was extremely powerful, and it was especially harmful to demons and devils.
Fortunately, he was already on guard. He lifted his sleeve and leaned back. He circulated his mana and a layer of bright light appeared on his body. Although the lightning bolts kept exploding, they couldn't harm him in the slightest.
At the same time, he was still retreating, and he kept changing his position.
He had previously ordered people to investigate the situation of Lu Junyang's battle in Yuanying state, and he knew that this person's fighting style was similar to his master, Yan Changsheng. Once he was suppressed, it would be very difficult to resolve. Although the opponent had entered the Image Realm, this kind of style was not something that could be changed easily, so he did not dare to stay where he was.
When the last lightning bolt dissipated, he stopped the crutch in his hand, and his whole body flashed. He actually split into two, one on each side, and stood at the east and west ends. It was difficult to distinguish which was which. He wanted to use this to stop the opponent, and not give him the chance to continuously attack.
