In the Eternal Sand Path, the golden threads continued to sway. It was as if the wind was blowing on the surface of the water, and there were waves. But after a while, the movement disappeared. It was as if the demon had passed through this place.
Zhou Ying saw that the two people from Huanzhen Temple were sitting still and could not help but worry. She looked at Zhou Ting with a questioning look, but he shook his head.
Do not suspect the person you use, and do not use the person you suspect. The cultivators of Huanzhen Temple had their own unique way of defeating demons. Since he had handed the matter over to them, he would not meddle in it.
The reason why Zhang Zhen and Elder Pu didn't make a move was because the demon had already developed intelligence. Even if the door was opened, it wouldn't charge straight at them. Just Now, they were just probing it. If they made a move now, it would only scare it away, and it wouldn't be easy to lure it out again.
Naturally, the two of them wouldn't act in this way based on baseless assumptions. That was because the two of them had cultivated a pair of devil-destroying eyes that allowed them to see through the true form of devils. Such a small trick might be able to deceive Zhou Ting and the others, but it was impossible to deceive them.
Sure enough, after waiting quietly for a long time, the golden thread suddenly swayed again.
Elder Pu activated his transcendence vision and saw a blurry human figure suddenly barging into the formation. He couldn't help but smile. From an outsider's point of view, there was no difference between a real demon and a real demon, but as a disciple of the Anatta Temple, he understood the difference.
If a true devil were to roll around in the mortal world, it would be infected by people's hearts, and its acquired wisdom would slowly surpass its nature. Then, it would become extremely cunning, and fighting with it would be no less than fighting with a cultivator of the same generation with profound cultivation.
Seeing that this demon had taken the bait so easily, it was obvious that he hadn't been in the world for long, which made it easier to deal with him.
Zhang Zhen also saw the true demon. Without any hesitation, she flicked her finger and a talisman flew out in front of her.
The talisman flew into the air. A bolt of lightning flashed past. The devil was originally invisible, but when it was touched by the talisman, it was instantly destroyed. He was actually forced to reveal his true form.
Elder Pu cooperated closely and saw an opportunity. He immediately followed up with a move, using his mana. Instantly, tens of lightning and fire struck down on his body.
No matter what kind of demonic creature it was, they all feared lightning techniques, and this true devil was no exception. After suffering this thunder fire, it was in extreme pain, and its body twisted. Once again, he disappeared into the void.
At this time, Zhang Zhen flicked out another talisman, which happened to block the devil's path. The devil seemed to have hit an invisible wall head-on, and with a loud bang, it was sent flying back. Seeing that it was unable to move forward, it could only go back the way it came, but the result was the same. It was blocked by the previous talisman.
Blocked from both ends, the demon was unable to advance or retreat for the time being. Elder Pu continued to control the lightning to close in. Left with no choice, he scattered his body and turned into thousands of demons. They wanted to find an opening to break through.
Elder Pu chuckled. This was the moment he had been waiting for!
Although the demon was forced to flee by the lightning technique, it would take at least ten days to half a month to kill a true demon with lightning techniques alone.
But once the demon used the cloning technique, he could destroy them one by one, and slowly grind them to death.
He waved his sleeves, and threw out the last talisman. Then, he pointed with two fingers. The three talismans spun in the air, and every time they fell, the demon would be forced out from its invisible state. Every time they fell, the demon would be forced out from its invisible state, leaving it with no place to hide.
Zhang Zhen flicked her fingers and twirled a few golden threads. She circulated her mana, and in an instant, the threads flew into the air, weaving into a dense net, separating all the clones of the demon, making it impossible for them to gather in one place. She did not care about anything else, and only focused on using her mana to refine one of the clones. When it completely disappeared, she then turned to deal with the next one.
The demon sensed the danger and fought back with all its might. But Pu and Zhang Zhen had dealt with such demonic creatures for a long time, and knew how to counter it. All the changes were broken one by one.
About an hour later, the demonic shadow gradually faded away. It looked as if it was struggling at death's door and was no longer a threat.
Zhou Ting calmed down a little when he saw that everything was going so smoothly. He turned around and saw Elder Pu's tired face. He knew that his arcane energy was not enough, so he instructed, "Junior Martial Brother Zhou Ying, light up the Dragon Fragrance given by the clan."
Zhou Ying nodded. With some reluctance, he took out a large stick of incense and blew on it, igniting it. In an instant, a strange fragrance permeated the stone chamber.
Elder Pu smelled it, and his spirit was lifted. But he did not dare to express his gratitude, and only nodded at Zhou Ying.
At this time, everyone suddenly felt a rumble above their heads. Elder Wu looked up and whispered, "Spiritual Master?"
Zhou Ting snorted, "It must be the main force of the demonic sect. But don't worry, Zheng Yang Xuan Altar's seals are strong, and layers of protection are set up. Even if they attack for a day and a night, they won't be able to break through. What's more important is to take care of this demon. Only when we get rid of this demon can we go out and fight the enemies. "
Wu Chang Daoren said, "Whatever you say, Spiritual Master."
Under the combined pressure of Zhang Zhen and Elder Pu, the devils were like trapped in a spider web, unable to escape. Bit by bit, they were killed and corroded. Another two hours passed, but the last hundred devils were still struggling on their deathbed.
Seeing that the demon was getting weaker and weaker, the Yuxiao cultivators saw a glimmer of hope, and their spirits lifted.
On the other hand, Elder Pu's expression was solemn. Even if only a wisp of the true devil's demonic aura managed to escape, it would not take long for it to return to its original form if it was nourished. Thus, they could not afford to relax at all.
But at this moment, one of the demon's avatars suddenly shuddered, as if it had just woken up.
He turned to look at the scene around him. After he was done, he sneered and sucked in all the demons around him into his body.
Elder Pu instantly noticed that something was wrong, and immediately summoned lightning to strike down.
Sima Quan looked at the lightning fire in the sky, and he wanted to laugh out loud.
Just Now that he had used the Form Changing Technique, his luck was a little bad, and he did not manage to steal the true demon's body. Instead, he was almost swallowed by the true demon. However, he was extremely unwilling to give up, so he used all his strength to protect his soul and prevent this devil from getting what he wanted.
Coincidentally, the Eternal Sand Path opened a Spirit Cave, and in comparison, the Spirit Cave was naturally more attractive to the true demon. Moreover, if it absorbed enough spiritual opportunity, it could easily swallow Sima Quan, which was why it gave up on him and went down.
But who would have thought that it would be blocked in the Eternal Sand Path, and was almost killed. This gave Sima Quan the chance to turn the tables on him. He was able to take over the true demon's body.
Although it was extremely weak now, it could not be compared to when the true demon was at its peak Just Now. But he did not care. The true demon had just gained intelligence Just Now. To him, it was just an ignorant child who was just relying on its demonic instincts to do things.
But he had close to a thousand years of experience, and he knew all the secrets of the demon sect. There were no treasures here, so it wasn't hard for him to charge out when the demon wasn't paying attention.
He first spat out a mouthful of yin energy, which smashed into the lightning fire. Before it even reached his body, it exploded in the sky.
Taking this chance, he thought back to the situation Just Now. In just a moment, he found a flaw that he could use.
The reason why the devil had fallen into a passive position earlier was because the three talismans could restrain his shapeless transformation technique. However, he noticed that after each talisman fell, another would come up the next time, and so on and so forth. The true demon naturally wouldn't pay attention to such things, but in his eyes, it was different.
He immediately deduced. Every time the talisman clashed with the true demon's body, it wasn't completely undamaged, so it needed a moment to breathe.
Thinking about this, he smiled sinisterly. Shapeless transformation occurred, and he escaped from the golden silk net.
When Zhang Zhen and Elder Pu saw this, they naturally summoned the talisman, wanting to break his transformation.
But at this moment, Sima Quan took the initiative to show himself. Then, he split into three silhouettes, and took the initiative to hit the three talismans. At first, they were also shaken back, but after a few times. The talisman's spiritual light dimmed.
Elder Pu saw that his actions were no longer as reckless as before, but had become very methodical. He couldn't help but be startled, "This demon …"
Zhang Zhen frowned, and reached for the talisman from the sachet. But halfway through, she remembered that they were under Zheng Yang Xuan Altar, and she couldn't use the talisman, so she gave up. She hooked the lightning fire and hit the field.
Sima Quan completely ignored the lightning fire. This technique could at most injure him, but it couldn't kill him. As long as he rushed out of this place, he could enter the spirit cave and absorb some spiritual vigor to recover. As for the golden silk, due to the slow rotation, he easily dodged them.
Under his all-out attack, one of the talismans finally couldn't take it anymore, and turned into ashes. The other two were also destroyed after a few breaths.
He was overjoyed, and let out a loud laugh. He turned around, and in a few moments, he disappeared in front of everyone.
Zhou Ting stood up with a pale face, and looked into the depths of the spirit cave. He stared at it for a long time without saying a word.
Zhou Ying hurriedly asked, "My two friends, what, what is going on?"
Elder Pu pondered for a moment, and sighed, "I'm guessing that someone from the demon sect used the Phase Reversal Technique, merging his own soul with this true demon's body. That's how he managed to escape."
Elder Wu frowned, "But Just Now, we've obviously forced him into a desperate situation, so what if he obtained a soul?"
Zhang Zhen said, "Having an external god's body is good. It's like an ignorant person gaining wisdom, the two can't be mentioned in the same breath."
Zhou Ting asked in a low voice, "Can you two chase him back?"
Zhang Zhen shook her head and sighed, "It's useless. Once a true demon enters the demon cave, it's like a dragon returning to the sea, or a tiger returning to the mountains. As long as there's a clone, it's hard to kill him."
Elder Pu also said, "What a pity. If your sect allowed me to use the Divine Observation Mirror, we could have killed this demon on the Eternal Sand Path."
Elder Wu saw that Zhou Ting's expression was very ugly, and said, "Since you two can't kill this demon, can you stop him from coming out? As long as we can defeat the demon sect, we can ask the Grotto-Heaven's people to come and suppress him."
Zhang Zhen said, "It's not difficult to seal this entrance, but once a true demon enters the spirit cave, if he absorbs enough spiritual vigor, he might turn into a Sky Demon. Such a demon, even the Grotto-Heaven's people might not be able to suppress him. I need to report this to my teacher immediately."
Zhou Ting said, "How long will it take to turn into a Sky Demon?"
Elder Pu thought for a while, and said with difficulty, "But for a true demon with its own spirituality, to cultivate the Sky Demon's body, it will take at least hundreds of years. But for the demon sect's elders who know how to use the demon cave to achieve it, it might only take two to four hours."
