Ying Feiyang slashed the air with his sword. He lost his balance and almost fell. After he steadied himself, he looked around and was shocked. Ling Xiao and the other two were nowhere to be seen. He was no longer in the forest but in a room of thirty square feet.
The room was old and the mottled walls were covered with fluorescent moss. It was much brighter than the light and illuminated the room. However, under the green fluorescent light, the room looked even more eerie. There was no vent in the room but it was still possible to breathe. The air was damp and uncomfortable. There was only one tunnel in the room and there was no other exit.
Ying Feiyang searched for a long time but could not find any other secret door. He had no idea how he got in but he was afraid of disturbing the monsters so he did not dare to shout.
"I came in inexplicably and now I don't know how to get out. I'm walking right into a trap." Ying Feiyang cursed in his heart. "Forget it. It seems like the three of them can't get in. Let's just take one step at a time." Ying Feiyang was ignorant and fearless. He took his sword and walked into the tunnel.
The tunnel was narrow and could only allow three people to walk side by side. Ying Feiyang tiptoed and did not dare to be careless. There were a few rooms on both sides of the tunnel and they were all sealed and empty stone rooms. There was no trace of monsters. Walking alone in this sealed tunnel, the fluorescent light above him was like a ghost fire and there was unknown danger in front of him. Even though Ying Feiyang was bold, he was still afraid. After making three turns, he finally saw the end of the tunnel. He could hear faint, muffled voices in his ears.
There were two other stone rooms at the end of the tunnel and the voice was coming from one of them.
A clear female voice said, "That person came out of nowhere and did things in secret. He said he was sent by Master Peacock but I have never heard of such a person. How can I trust him so easily?"
A rough male voice said, "The peacock plume is in his hands so it must be real. If he is not the messenger of Master Peacock, then could it be stolen or snatched? "
The female voice said, "But why does Master Peacock want this little girl? What spiritual girl? You don't even know what a Spiritual Lady is, so how can you be sure that this girl is the one he's looking for? "
The male voice replied, "Mister Peacock is an unfathomable person. How would I know what he's thinking? But Spiritual Maiden, from the name alone, I can guess that she's a girl with an extraordinary spiritual nature. This girl's spiritual nature is the strongest I've ever seen in my life, so it should be her. Besides, we're already at a dead end, so let's try everything we can."
The demoness continued, "But I wonder what Young Master Peacock is going to do to her? We're all cultivators of the Heavenly Flower Style, we shouldn't harm her life for no reason. "
"These two monsters are from the Sky Flower School?" Ying Feiyang had been acting mysteriously with his master. Although he had not seen many real monsters, he had some knowledge about the demon race. When the demon race cultivated, the most important thing was to gather spiritual power. According to the different sources of spiritual power, there were two ways to cultivate.
One was the "Blood Massacre Sect". They believed that humans were the spirit of all creatures, so they would eat whatever they ate to nourish themselves. Eating human flesh and blood would naturally steal their spiritual power. The demons of the Blood Massacre Sect were violent and cruel. They slaughtered humans, so they were the primary target of demon slayers.
The other was the Sky Flower School. The demons who cultivated this school believed that all creatures in the world had spiritual nature. Thus, they gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth far away from the human world, gathering the essence of the sun and moon. Although they did not completely offend humans, their reputation was still much better than the demons of the Blood Massacre Sect. These two demons called themselves the Sky Flower School, but they did things like abducting people's daughters. It was truly rare.
While the two demons were talking, Ying Feiyang had slowly approached the room. He saw the two "people" in the room arguing. The monster that was speaking in a buzzing voice looked like an unfinished puppet made by a novice craftsman. After being soaked in water, it was enlarged dozens of times. Its figure was similar to the Wood Spirit that his master often used to swindle money from. However, the patterns on its body were clear. It was covered in moss and mold, and there was a dense rattan wrapped around it as clothes. Every aspect indicated that this was not a Wood Spirit that he had summoned, but a genuine Tree Demon.
The other female demon had the appearance of a beauty. She wore a green silk robe and carried a wooden fork. She looked even more elegant without any makeup. However, her figure was weak, like a willow in the wind. At this moment, she was being supported by the male demon.
Looking at the corner of the room, a little girl that looked like a porcelain doll was lying against the wall. Who else could it be other than that troublemaker Mu Xiaomei?
The male demon consoled, "Luo Niang, I know what you want to say. Although Young Master Peacock has a proud and arrogant personality, he is not a bloodthirsty person. He will definitely not harm this little girl."
The female demon, on the other hand, had a sorrowful look on her face as she said, "Even so, it is true that we stole this child and caused her to be separated from her blood relatives. I have already experienced the pain of being separated from my own flesh and blood once, how can I …"
The male demon cut her off. "Don't mention it anymore. It is my incompetence. I cannot defeat that old man Yue Tianqiong. I caused you to be injured and even harmed our pitiful unborn child. But now, my cultivation has been greatly damaged and I have returned to this state. There are also several golden sword rays buried in your body. For many years, there has been the danger of sword qi erupting and threatening your life. Only by offering this little girl to Young Master Peacock and begging him to heal you can we exchange for your life. I have made up my mind on this matter, and it cannot be changed. "
"But …" The female demon was about to speak again, but she suddenly frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The male demon said in panic, "Luo Niang, don't say anymore. Your sword injury is acting up again. I will help you to rest." With that, he helped the female demon out of the room.
Ying Feiyang hid in the corner and waited for the two demons to enter another room. Then, he held his breath and walked to Mu Xiaomei, covering her mouth and waking her up. Mu Xiaomei was sleeping soundly. After shaking her for a while, she struggled to open her eyes. But when she saw Ying Feiyang, the sleepiness in her eyes immediately disappeared. Her big eyes flickered and she looked especially energetic.
Ying Feiyang lowered his voice and said, "Xiaomei, you have been captured by the demon. Don't speak loudly. If you understand, blink." Ying Feiyang was now trapped here. Even if he saved her, he could not find a way out. Hearing that the demon would not harm Mu Xiaomei for the time being, he planned to find a way out first and then come back to pick Mu Xiaomei up. But he was afraid that Mu Xiaomei would cry and scold like a little devil and annoy the demon, so he decided to wake her up and give her a few words.
Mu Xiaomei rolled her eyes a few times and blinked. Only then did Ying Feiyang gently let go of her, but he heard Mu Xiaomei's clear and loud childish voice say, "Aiya ~ so scary ~"
That Mu Xiaomei, although she said it was scary, was smiling without fear. Before Ying Feiyang could react, she said like a machine gun, "Brother Tianming, do you think you can fool my clever Mu Xiaomei like this? Shallow, childish, and ignorant." Ying Feiyang hurriedly covered her mouth, but the girl did not know the severity of the situation and ruthlessly bit his finger. Ying Feiyang withdrew his hand in pain, "Where is the demon? Well, if you want to scare me, at least summon your drunkard master's wooden ghost! "
Ying Feiyang was eager to cover her mouth again, but Xiaomei curled her lips and said, "That's boring. Do you need me to remind you to confess? You need to use your heart to scare people!" Ying Feiyang suddenly felt the light dim. He looked back and saw a thick figure blocking the door of the stone room. If it was not the demon, who else could it be?
"Hehe, trying to scare me? Bang! Demon, take this! " At this time, Mu Xiaomei took out a stone from somewhere and threw it at the Wood Demon.
The Wood Demon grabbed the stone with its huge palm and crushed it into pieces. Its ugly mottled face grinned, "Little girl, you really know how to play, huh?"
"Ah?" Mu Xiaomei was stunned. The smile on her face disappeared and she said with a sobbing tone, "It can talk? It's not a trick, it's a demon … "
"Nonsense! What do you think? "Ying Feiyang secretly cursed this troublemaking girl in his heart. His mind was racing, trying to find a way to escape. "This demon is of the Heavenly Flower Sect. It's not impossible to persuade it with words, but I need to find a way to dispel its hostility." Just as he was thinking about how to dispel the Wood Demon's hostility, he heard Mu Xiaomei say in a trembling voice, "Smelly demon, don't be so arrogant. My Brother Tianming has chopped rotten wood like you countless times. Quickly kneel and beg for mercy, and you can be spared. Otherwise, my Brother Tianming will chop you into pieces and use you as firewood!"
Hearing this, the Wood Demon widened its bell-like eyes and opened its mouth wide, "Burn me as firewood? Little girl, I have enough firewood here. All I need is a big pot, and then I can cook you and eat you! "
"Eat? Eat me? "Mu Xiaomei's face turned pale. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Ying Feiyang cursed again in his heart, "This damned girl, every time she opens her mouth, she starts looking for trouble and faints right after. You sure are straightforward! Forget it, even if she doesn't faint, I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain myself and knock this troublemaker out. "
"So easily frightened," the demon mocked, then turned to Ying Feiyang and said with hostility, "Who are you, kid? How can you enter this place? Can't the restriction outside stop you? "
Unable to come up with a solution for the time being, Ying Feiyang changed his mind and imitated the way his master used to play tricks. He pretended to be arrogant and said, "Ha, a mere restriction is not worth mentioning. How can it stop me? As for who I am, you should hear it clearly. I am the only disciple of Daoist Qing Ku, the one and only disciple of Daoist Qing Ku. My name is Ying Feiyang. "
The Wood Demon said coldly, "Daoist Qing Ku? I've never heard of him. "
Ying Feiyang sneered, "That's because you're ignorant, but it's not your fault. My master has sealed his sword for a hundred years, and his name is not known to the world. Otherwise, people like Yue Cangqiong wouldn't have the chance to be so arrogant." Although Ying Feiyang didn't know who Yue Cangqiong was, it was obvious from the Wood Demon's words that he hated Yue Cangqiong. Therefore, he said some words of contempt to Yue Cangqiong to ease the Wood Demon's hostility.
When the Wood Demon heard the three words' Yue Cangqiong ', his ugly face changed. He then sneered, "Brat, you're bragging. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. But why are you here again?"
"Of course I'm here to save people. I originally wanted to use you to test my sword, but seeing that you're Tianhua and have no intention of harming people, I'll let you go this time. I'll take the people away. As for the female demon's sword wound, it's not impossible to cure. My master is outside the stone room. Follow me to see him. Yue Cangqiong's Golden Sword Ray is nothing to my master. "
When the Wood Demon heard this, his expression changed. He couldn't hide his excitement, but he still said doubtfully, "Don't try to trick me. Yue Cangqiong's Golden Sword Ray is very powerful. I've been taught by an expert before. Other than Young Master Peacock's Peacock King Of Ming Curse and Thousand Elephant Heavenly Palace's Art of Boundless Nature, there's no other way to cure it. Your master is obviously not Young Master Peacock. Could it be that he knows how to use the Art of Boundless Nature?"
The Wood Demon asked, but immediately denied it, "No, I heard that the Art of Boundless Nature is a secret skill of Thousand Elephant Heavenly Palace. Not only is no one able to cultivate it, but only a few people have even heard of it. How could your master know it?"
Ying Feiyang saw that the Wood Demon was so confident. He didn't know anything about the King Of Ming Curse or the Art of Boundless Nature, so he simply played along with the Wood Demon and said, "What secret skill? If no one cultivates it, then it's not a cultivation skill. You're right, my master does know a few moves of the Art of Boundless Nature."
"Hmm? I heard that your master's name is' Sword Soars Above All Living Things', so he should be a sword cultivator. How could he know such a profound skill like the Art of Boundless Nature? What's your master's background? "The Wood Demon asked doubtfully.
"You blockhead, why do you have so many questions? I'm going to flatter my drunkard master again! " Ying Feiyang cursed in his heart, but he raised his head as if looking into the distance, and said with yearning and reverence in his eyes, "You don't have to ask too much about my master's background. But in this world, there are people like him. Not only is his swordsmanship at the peak, surpassing all living things, but he is also good at spells, formations, the five elements, and even medicine, divination, astrology, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. My master is one of them."
"Oh, then your master is really amazing." The Wood Demon praised.
"Of course."
"He can even practice the Art of Boundless Nature that I made up. He's really the first person in history!" The Wood Demon's tone changed from praise to mockery, and his ugly face was overflowing with mockery. Ying Feiyang suddenly felt that he had been tricked.
