Inside the Upper Extreme Hall, Qi Yuntian was reading a memorial letter.
According to the letter, a few days ago, more than ten junior disciples entered the Little Devil's Cave to cultivate, but on the way, they encountered tens of thousands of Devil Insects, and were unable to escape in time, so all of them perished. There were also many people who were implicated, and all of them were infected with Devil Poison, and their injuries were not light.
Ever since Sima Quan returned to the Nine Continents from outside the Void Sky, he had released these devil insects. The Yue Cang Sect had also sent cultivators down to exterminate them. Then, the devil was dispersed by Zhang Yan in outer space, and these devil insects also disappeared, rarely seen again.
However, in the past few months, these insects showed signs of coming back. Although they were not as strong as before, they were not something that the junior disciples could deal with.
When this matter came out, some people in the sect thought that the small demon cave was left untouched because they thought that if it became the real demon cave, they could suppress it. Not only would they not need to mobilize a large force, they could even easily obtain the Yuan Furnace Pill Jade.
However, the current situation was different. Since the Profound and Demon Families had stopped fighting, it was very likely that they would be implicated if they stayed here. Moreover, the Six Yin Demon Insects were practically impossible to kill. Thus, they suggested that it was better to completely seal this place.
However, there were also people who thought that this was a rare spiritual land. The existing demon poison was not important, they could let the disciples clean it up and gain experience. Moreover, the Northern Darkstar Continent had already conquered half of the continent and established the Ten Great Demon Kingdoms. Other than killing wild demons, the disciples in the sect had no other merit to gain. This place was a good place to gain merit.
These two parties had their own opinions, but both had their reasons.
Although Qi Yuntian had some thoughts in his heart, the matters of the sect had been decided by the three halls over the years. He couldn't make a decision by himself. Thus, he said to the palace attendants, "Go and discuss something with the two hall masters."
The attendant received the order and left.
Not long after, Huo Xuan arrived first. The attendant also returned and said, "Master Du Zhen is in seclusion, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to come."
Qi Yuntian said, "I know, you may leave."
Since Zhang Yan could not come, then this matter could only be decided by him and Huo Xuan.
He handed the memorial to Huo Xuan. "Junior Brother, take it and have a look."
Huo Xuan took it, opened it, and read it, but did not say anything.
Qi Yuntian asked, "What does Junior Huo think about the Little Devil Cave?"
Huo Xuan said in a deep voice, "About suppression. Logically speaking, he should be able to solve the problem once and for all and get rid of any future troubles. However, the Shouming Palace was located above the Little Devil's Cave, and the disciples of the Shouming Palace had benefited a lot from it. Immortal Peng had not said anything about this. It's obvious that he doesn't approve of this action. If that's the case, it would be inappropriate. "
Now that the Third High Prince could decide almost everything in the sect, if the two of them insisted on suppressing the Devil's Cave, even if Immortal Peng was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to obediently accept the order.
However, things were not that simple. Among those disciples who died, one of them was a disciple of Daoist Master Zhu. If it caused the master and disciple families to clash again, it would be detrimental to their future actions.
Qi Yuntian said in a low voice, "I've thought about it before. We might as well send a few people to the depths of the Little Devil's Cave to check on the changes in the spiritual opportunity. If there's really a possibility that it could turn into a real Devil's Cave, then we have to destroy it no matter what. If not, there's no need to go all out."
Huo Xuan agreed, "Senior Brother's idea is the most appropriate, but who should we send?"
Qi Yuntian said, "Now that the top ten disciples' cultivation is insufficient, it's difficult to detect the actual situation in the Devil's Cave. We can send an Inner Hall Elder from each Hall of Dikong and Duzhen Hall to do the same. "
Huo Xuan nodded, "That's fine. Since Junior Brother Zhang is in seclusion, Junior Brother Ning is the Side Hall Master. We might as well inform him. However, he's cultivating in the Changguan Cave. I wonder if he's like Junior Brother Zhang and doesn't care about the outside world. "
Although Ning Chongxuan was the Side Hall Master, he only came to the Third High Prince Hall occasionally. Most of the time, he cultivated in the Sun Zhenren Cave. Firstly, there was no lack of spiritual opportunity here. Secondly, he had not reached the last step of cultivation, so there was no need to go to the Floating Heavenly Palace.
Qi Yuntian thought for a moment and said, "Let me write a letter to ask him. If it's true, then we can only use the Sect Master's token."
Even the Upper Extreme Hall couldn't order the elders of the Du Zhen and Tian Kong Halls around as they pleased, unless it was the order of the Sect Master. However, he had the token given by the Sect Master. When the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master of the two halls weren't around, he could use it directly.
A day later, the Elder of the Duzhen Hall, Luo Qingyu, and the Dikong Hall, Du De, were ordered to go to the Small Devil's Cave to investigate.
Both of them had cultivated the Yuanying Dharmakaya, so there were no demons in the Small Devil's Cave that could harm them. They went there to investigate, and it took them three months to come out Just Now. Then, they reported to the Floating Heavenly Palace. Both of them said that the spiritual opportunity of this place had changed very little, and there was no possibility of it turning into the real Devil's Cave for at least four to five hundred years.
When Qi Yuntian heard the report, he immediately made a decision. He immediately ordered the Elders of the Purple Light Hall to send a message to the Merit Hall. The disciples of the Qincang School only needed to kill the Demon Insects and demons in the Small Devil's Cave, and they would be rewarded.
When the order was given, everyone in the sect was excited. The Small Devil's Cave was full of spiritual opportunity, and it was not inferior to the Cave of Bliss. However, because it was blocked by the tide, it could only be used at the beginning of every month.
Now, the sect specially sent a few Elders of the Purple Light Hall to guard the Eye of the Sea to help people pass through, so it was much more convenient to go in and out.
Although this caused some dissatisfaction among the disciples of the Guarding Heavenly Palace, they did not directly suppress and destroy the place, which at least saved some face for Immortal Peng.
This continued for six years, and the situation inside the Devil's Cave changed greatly. Most of the demons in the Devil's Cave retreated to the depths, and rarely appeared in groups.
On this day, a flying boat descended from the sky outside the Guarding Heavenly Palace, and more than twenty cultivators came down from it. The one in front was a woman in red with silver earrings on her ears. Her waist was slender and soft, and when she walked, she was graceful and light like a swallow. She glanced behind her with her beautiful eyes and said, "When you reach the Devil's Cave, you must listen to me, your Senior Sister, and do not wander around. If the Devil Qi invades your spirit, don't blame me for not warning you."
The disciples behind her had obviously experienced the power of this Senior Sister, and they all obeyed her, and no one dared to disagree.
These people were all cultivators of the Love Return Island. Since the island owner, Huang Fuzhou, had cultivated the Yuanying Dharmakaya more than ten years ago, their status had also risen. Even some disciples of the Cave Immortals were very polite when they saw them.
After the woman in red gave her instructions, she led the more than twenty people into the Flying Crane Building where the Sea Eye was. She walked to the Yuanying Elder who was in charge there and handed him a token talisman.
The elder took a look and said, "So you're from the Love Return Island. Please wait for a moment. When there are a hundred people, Daoren can open the Sea Eye."
The woman in red looked around and saw that there were still half of them left. However, she was also straightforward and said, "I'll wait then."
After waiting for a while, a cloud raft came from outside, and there were more than ten male and female cultivators standing on it. The leader was dressed in a Daoist robe, and he had a square face and an awe-inspiring aura. When they arrived in front of the Flying Crane Building, everyone came down. They walked inside, and the cultivators there who knew what to do made way, not daring to fight.
The Yuanying Elder, who had been sitting on the futon, stood up when he saw these people coming. He bowed and said, "So it's Perfected Di. Greetings."
Perfected Di returned the greeting and took out a token talisman with both hands. He said, "Elder Wang, I and my fellow sect members have led the matter of setting up the Essence Abode Tower in the demon cave. I hope you can make an exception."
Elder Wang smiled and said, "What are you talking about? This matter is very beneficial to our sect's disciples, so I'll open the path for you."
As he said that, his expression turned solemn and he silently chanted a few incantations. He then swung his horsetail whisk, and the seawater under the well rumbled. Then, a water channel was slowly opened.
The Love Return Island disciples were very curious, and one of them asked softly, "Senior Sister, why don't they have to wait? Do you know who they are? "
The woman in red pouted and said, "The leader is called Di Hui. He's a disciple of the Zhao You Sect and a disciple of the Xuanyuan Grotto-Heaven. This Perfected Deity Grotto-Heaven is the hall master of the Du Zhen Hall. This Daoren can't even fawn on him, so how would he dare to offend him? "
The disciple came to a realization, and his face showed respect. He said, "So he's a disciple of Perfected Deity Grotto-Heaven. No wonder."
At this moment, the sea channel was completely opened. Elder Wang's face was slightly pale, and he said while panting, "Everyone, you can enter now."
Perfected Deity Di bowed and thanked him. He turned around and called out to the others, and a group of more than ten people jumped down.
Elder Wang waved at the disciples in the building and said, "You don't have to wait anymore. Daoren's magic power is limited, and he can only open the eye of the sea for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After that, he will need a few more hours to recuperate. The replacement hasn't arrived yet, so I'm afraid he won't be able to open the door before nightfall. You should also enter quickly, don't miss it."
When the rest heard that, they didn't dare to delay any longer. They hurriedly used their escape techniques and entered. In less than ten breaths, the place became empty, and there was no trace of anyone.
At this moment, under the eye of the sea, Di Hui and the others had safely arrived at the small demon cave. He looked around, and there was nothing strange, so he took out a flying boat and leaped up. He said, "Come up." More than ten disciples behind him responded and got on the boat.
He activated the talisman, and the boat turned into a rainbow, flying straight into the depths of the demon cave.
After traveling for more than ten days, the number of pearls on the surrounding stone walls had gradually decreased. Obviously, there were not many cultivators who came here.
After traveling for another four days, Di Hui saw that there was no more light around, so he stopped the flying boat and said, "Set it up here."
The disciples behind him responded in unison.
He was the first to jump down, and with a flick of his sleeve, he took out a thirty feet high abode. Then he sat inside and lit a tall incense in front of him. He said, "I'll guard against demons here. Disciples, quickly set up the formation flags outside. There's no time to waste."
In order to make it easier for the disciples to walk in the small demon cave, the Ninth Courtyard ordered that a hut be set up every hundred miles, and a tower be set up every thousand miles. If the disciples felt tired, they could come here to adjust their breath and restore their magic power. They could also use the restriction here to keep the demons and insects away.
Relying on this arrangement, the disciples of the Qincang School had gradually pushed their tentacles into the depths of the small demon cave.
However, when they reached here, the cultivation of the demons was extremely high, and they had already developed spiritual intelligence, which was enough to compete with the ordinary Yuanying cultivators. They also knew that if the Qincang School pushed in like this, it would be difficult for them to deal with it, so they would take the opportunity to attack the tower.
Just Now, this tower of Qincang School would be destroyed not long after. Therefore, there was a saying in the Merit Courtyard that if a disciple could set up a formation flag in an unknown place and hold on until the arrival of the sect's elders, they would be given a great merit.
Although Di Hui could be considered as a direct disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, after his master Sun Qing accepted him into the sect, other than giving him pointers, he did not ask about anything else. Moreover, he did not like to owe people from the same sect, so the magic tools and treasures that he used were always exchanged with his own merit. This time, in order to forge a profound level weapon, he was still lacking several precious materials, so he took the initiative to undertake this task.
After about six hours, seeing that the formation outside was about to be completed, a disciple suddenly shouted, threw the formation flag in his hand, and flew up into the sky, as if he was about to fly away.
Di Hui was expressionless, a yellow smoke flew up from the top of his head, and suddenly turned into a big hand, grabbing the disciple, pulling him back and throwing him at his feet.
He pointed a finger at the disciple's eyebrows, and the disciple's body trembled, and wisps of black smoke came out from his ears and nose. The disciple opened his eyes blankly, and when he saw the situation around him clearly, he turned over and stood up, and said with his mouth wide open, "Master, this disciple …"
Di Hui said in a deep voice, "You have been poisoned by the devil, and I have already removed it for you. You are already fine."
The disciple gasped, and said in shock, "How can this be, didn't I take the Demon Suppressing Pill?"
Di Hui said, "The pill can only last for a while, otherwise, why would you ask us to come here? Don't ask too many questions, hurry up and get to work."
The disciple hurriedly bowed his head and accepted the order, and returned to his original position.
Di Hui looked into the depths of the cave, and his expression gradually became solemn. He could feel that at this moment, there were at least three demons with profound cultivation hiding in the dark, and in another hour, the formation would be completed, and by then, they would definitely rush up. This would definitely be a fierce battle, and if he could survive, then he would be able to obtain a great merit, but if he could not, although he was confident that he could protect the disciple and retreat, he could only abandon the formation flag refined house that he had prepared in advance.
After another half a minute, when there were still a few corners of the formation that were ready to seal the formation, he suddenly heard an ear-piercing scream, and black smoke rolled in from all directions, as if there were millions of ghosts crying in it.
His gaze sharpened, and he stood up. At the same time, the two High Clouds above his head shook, and countless yellow lights flew out from his back, and shot in all directions.
Under the sealing formation of the Small Cold World, Mu Shoushan sat in the hut, and there were two white smoke coming out from his mouth and nose. Inside the smoke were two pills, gold and red in color. As he inhaled and exhaled spiritual vigor, the pills kept rolling on top of his Qi, sometimes small and sometimes big. After a long while, he gently inhaled and kept it into his stomach.
After sitting for a while, he took out a flying feather from his sleeve and caressed it. He couldn't help but sigh. With his cultivation, if he hadn't been trapped for more than eight hundred years, he was confident that he could nurture a true weapon. However, at the moment, the only treasures that could be considered powerful were the true treasures that Qin Qinggang had bestowed upon him after he formed the Heavenly Abode.
After this treasure was taken back by the mountain gate, it was not willing to work for the people of the other grotto-heaven, so it was placed in the Hall of Ancestors, and no one used it. This time, after Zhang Yan pleaded for it, it was returned to him a few years ago.
However, he also knew that it was impossible for him to contend against Zhang Yan, who possessed a murderous sword. Fortunately, there were many precious materials hidden in the Heavenly Abode in the past, and he had refined many magic tools in the past few years. He believed that with the help of the Pool of Creation, he would be able to contend against Zhang Yan.
At this moment, a ray of light flashed past the hut, and he unconsciously lifted his head. He heard a clear voice from outside, "It's been six years, I wonder if Zhenren Mu is ready?"
Mu Shoushan smiled, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He stood up and said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, you're late, I've been waiting here for a long time."
