Under a locust tree sat a hunchbacked old man in colorful clothes and sparse hair.
The top of his head was almost completely bald, and his hair drooped listlessly.
Even though he was sitting, his back was arched, and he was hunchbacked.
At this moment, he was glaring at Yu Yuan and Yuan Lianyao with a gloomy face.
Even with Yu Yuan and Yuan Lianyao's cultivation bases, they hadn't sensed the aura of any living beings or soul fluctuations on their way here.
Only after he opened his mouth did Yu Yuan and Yuan Lianyao realize that someone was actually sitting there.
Yu Yuan was surprised and also found it strange. She didn't know why there would be someone on this nameless island and in this forest.
"Why do you care what we're doing here?" Yuan Lianyao took a glance at him and instinctively felt disgusted and uncomfortable. "Who are you?"
The hunchbacked old man grinned. "Hah!"
His smile was indescribably fierce and sinister.
As soon as he smiled, he bared his teeth, but his front teeth were empty.
Without his front teeth, his laughter sounded a bit hollow, which was indescribably weird.
However, Yu Yuan's expression flickered violently.
Looking at the hunchbacked old man's exposed teeth and sparse hair, Yu Yuan's expression flickered slightly as he fixed his gaze on the hunchbacked old man.
With a thought, he cast an exquisite soul incantation. "Activate All-Seeing Eyes!"
With a closer look, he discovered that the hunchbacked old man's body was constantly exuding multicolored smoke that seeped into the ground from time to time.
The old man's fingernails were blackish-purple and very long.
Only Voodoo disciples, who had been exposed to poisons all year round and were afraid of getting poisoned by them, would grow long fingernails and use them to pick up poisonous powder and poisons.
A smell of decay was emitted from the hunchbacked old man's body.
Yu Yuan examined his hunchbacked old man with rapt attention, and discovered that there seemed to be hundreds of different toxins in it, which had been refined by the old man's bones and internal organs, and then gathered in his hunchbacked old man's back.
In the damp forest, under the locust trees, there were actually white bones buried …
The multicolored smoke released from the hunchbacked old man's body connected to the corpses underground, collecting corpse poison and fusing it into his flesh and blood to cultivate.
The old man had three souls: Heaven, Earth, and Man. Only the Heaven Soul and Man Soul were in his body. The Earth Soul was nowhere to be found.
With his Wisdom Eye, Yu Yuan saw too many strange things.
Before the hunchbacked old man could get angry, he grabbed Yuan Lianyao's jade-white hand, bowed slightly to the hunchbacked old man, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Senior's meditation. Please forgive me."
Pulling Yuan Lianyao along, he turned around and left.
Yuan Lianyao staggered as she was pulled by him. Her heart was filled with doubts.
It was as if the hunchbacked old man didn't want to leave this locust tree forest. Before he could make a move, Yu Yuan and Yuan Lianyao had already sped away from him.
"Consider yourself lucky!" The viciousness in his eyes slowly faded.
After leaving the damp forest, Yu Yuan and Yuan Lianyao found a secluded place and entered the sea again.
Only after entering the sea did he summon the Fiend Demon Cauldron and enter it together.
"That eye of the Primal Chaos Kun will come to search for me every once in a while." Yu Yuan let out a sigh of relief after entering the cauldron. "This is the only place where I can hide from that eye of the Fiend Demon Cauldron. Let me think of a way to get that guy out of here first. "
"That hunchbacked old man?" Yuan Lianyao was puzzled.
"Do you know Wei Feng?" Yu Yuan suddenly asked.
Yuan Lianyao nodded. "Of course I do. That girl from the Black Fiend Army carries the bloodline of a demonic phoenix. It's a pity that she, an extraordinary genius who should have been the center of attention, was killed by that female commander. "
"If I'm not mistaken, the incantations that Wei Feng learned from Voodoo came from that guy." At this time, Yu Yuan's emotions were also stirred. "His surname is Du, and his name is Du Jing. When I captured Wei Feng, I found out a lot of things. Du Jing didn't teach Wei Feng any secret incantations, but wanted to take her blood essence. "
"Ah!" Yuan Lianyao was shocked.
"Du Jing must have a close relationship with that Shen Feiqing." Yu Yuan pondered and said, "Du Jing used to be a member of Voodoo, but he was expelled by Voodoo for unknown reasons. After leaving Voodoo, he went to the Qian Xuan Continent and hid in the Great Desolate God Lake of the Divine Might Empire.
"Shen Feiqing also went to the Great Desolate God Lake to hide after her plan with the Silver Moon Queen in the Barren Forgotten Lands failed.
"She and Du Jing must have known each other for a long time, and they had a close relationship."
After a moment of hesitation, Yu Yuan added, "Du Jing's entire body is filled with poison. Voodoo's incantations don't pay attention to body tempering at all, so the backlash from practicing poison incantations is terrifying. Because of the poison incantations he practiced, his fleshly body was damaged beyond recognition. Many deadly poisons were refined into his hunchback, which could be used to kill people, but could also take his life if he wasn't careful.
"However, he must have a backup plan. He should be at least at the Yin Soul stage.
"His Yin Soul is most likely in the Great Desolate God Lake, where he is protected by that Desolate God."
Yu Yuan revealed Du Jing's background and the strangeness of his identity.
However, he didn't say anything about Du Jing's true identity.
In his previous life, this Du Jing was his medicine slave ….
When he was refining medicine, Du Jing was responsible for helping him get the medicinal plants accurately and quickly. According to his instructions, Du Jing would melt the medicinal plants into the pill cauldron and increase the flame of the pill cauldron.
Du Jing was only a medicine slave, not a disciple.
In his previous life, Du Jing, who had been missing his front teeth, was quite vicious and ruthless. However, he was suppressed by him and could be considered loyal.
After his reincarnation was determined to be a failure and his soul scattered, Du Jing knew that he had no place in the Medicine God Sect, so he turned to Voodoo.
He didn't show up for a long time, so Voodoo, who used to be afraid of him, expelled him.
Somehow, Du Jing managed to gain a foothold in the Great Desolate God Lake and even got in touch with Shen Feiqing. He helped Shen Feiqing train Wei Feng and suppress the demon phoenix's blood. Then, when the time was right, he would let Shen Feiqing consume it to strengthen her own flesh aura and soar into the sky.
Du Jing was a wolf that couldn't be fed when he was young.
Yu Yuan didn't know that Du Jing had found out that the secret place he had left behind was on this nameless island. However, without the key, Du Jing shouldn't be able to enter.
Since he couldn't enter, Du Jing stayed here and waited for the person with the key to come.
There were many corpses buried under the locust trees. It was very likely that Du Jing had killed them and buried them here by accident.
Yu Yuan knew Du Jing well. Even if he took out the key and said that he had obtained the legacy in the Jade Peak Mountain Range, he would still be killed by Du Jing.
Perhaps he could escape death by releasing the Baleful Demon Cauldron and using the scabbard, but it would cause too much of a commotion and alert the Primal Chaos Kun.
There were also people on the Split Yan Islands, Lin Zhuyun, the Yin Charm Sect, and many others who harbored ill intentions towards him.
In that case, even if the secret place wasn't exposed, it would be impossible for him to sneak in.
"Voodoo is the one who taught Wei Feng spiritual incantations! He has a connection with Shen Feiqing and the Desolate God! " After learning the details, Yuan Lianyao calmed down and said, "The place you're looking for is in that damp locust tree forest?"
Yu Yuan nodded. "Yeah. I have to find a way to get Du Jing to leave."
If Du Jing didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to enter the secret place where the cauldron was kept with the key he had taken from Patriarch Zu.
"Can't you refine the essence flame of the sun inside of you?" Yuan Lianyao asked with concern. "The essence flame of the sun is a huge hidden danger."
"I know." Yu Yuan smiled bitterly. "The Primal Chaos Kun set me up when I was collecting essence flame of the sun at the bottom of the Sea of Stardust. It's just that I didn't know it at the time. The essence flame of the sun should have a deep imprint of the Primal Chaos Kun. My cultivation base isn't high enough to erase it. "
"Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless we go to that secret place. That cauldron should be able to erase the imprint of the Primal Chaos Kun." Yu Yuan also felt a headache coming on. "If it doesn't work, I'll see if I can get Old Qian to do something for me. If he's willing to help, Du Jing will be taken out of the secret place without his nether soul.
"Or maybe we can contact the Red Devil School and the Tongtian Trading Company?" Yuan Lianyao suggested. "Pei Zhen's death will definitely infuriate our sect. They'll definitely arrange for stronger cultivators to quickly fill in the gaps on Crimson Devil Island."
She believed that the newcomers from the Red Devil School would definitely be stronger than Pei Zhen.
"No," Yu Yuan said without hesitation.
The secret realm on the island was of great importance, and Du Jing's identity was special.
The Red Devil School and the Tongtian Trading Company normally wouldn't care about that island or Du Jing.
But if he asked the Crimson Devil Sect and the Skyspan Trading Company to step in, these two great sects might learn of Du Jing's origins. They might even be able to follow the clues to the secret place Yu Yuan had been hiding all this time.
If that happened, it would be even more troublesome.
"Hmm?!"
Yu Yuan, who was hiding in the cauldron, said with a surprised expression, "Someone's coming!"
"Ah!" Yuan Lianyao was surprised.
The Fiendish Demon Cauldron was a divine artifact. Not many people could sense its existence in the depths of the sea.
Even Yang God Realm cultivators and Freedom Realm cultivators couldn't sense the presence of a divine artifact at the bottom of the sea.
Who could sense the Fiendish Demon Cauldron and come here?
"Mo Yan of the Devil's Palace!"
Moments later, Yu Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he screamed.
Mo Yan, who was controlling the Kiara Demonic Saber, was actually standing on the surface of the blade in the dark sea. He looked at the Fiend Demon Cauldron with a strange gaze and sent a voice transmission under the sea. "Come out, Yu Yuan. I mean you no harm.
