After Cang Ju heard Xiao Lingyu's reminder, he shifted his gaze from the box to the altar.
The altar was about ten feet high. It was in the shape of a vertical rectangle. There were more than thirty stone steps in front of the two people. However, each step was engraved with mysterious spell patterns. Xiao Lingyu was referring to this place when he said that it was strange.
Cang Ju looked at it carefully and said, "There should be a big problem with those incantations, but this altar is not very high. We don't have to walk up the stone steps. We can just fly up."
Xiao Lingyu did not say anything. Instead, he walked closer to the altar and stared at a line of words engraved on the other side of the altar.
The general meaning of that line of words was that if the cultivator could walk up the steps and reach the top of the altar, the black iron box would automatically open. If the cultivator did not walk up the stone steps, he could fly up, but he needed the corresponding key to open it.
And the key was on one of the demonic beasts.
Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingyu did not have the key, and they did not know which demonic beast had the key. They could not possibly kill all the demonic beasts to find the key.
"Uh, it seems like we still have to walk up step by step." Cang Ju said helplessly after reading the small words.
"That might not be the case." Xiao Lingyu said noncommittally.
Xiao Lingyu flew up and stared at the not-so-big box for a while with a smile on his face.
The quality of this black iron box was comparable to that of a top-grade demonic weapon. Even without the key, Xiao Lingyu could cut it open with his Silver Moon Broken Sword.
Even if the treasure inside was damaged because of the strong slash, Xiao Lingyu would not take the risk to walk up the steps or find the demonic beasts to snatch the key.
At least he would not lose too much if he did not get the treasure.
However, Xiao Lingyu's smile suddenly froze and he turned around abruptly.
In the direction where the two of them came from, the human-shaped demonic beast appeared again. The hole in its body had completely healed, but its expression was more ferocious than before.
After exchanging a glance with Xiao Lingyu, the humanoid magical beast disappeared in a flash.
In the next moment, a strong gust of wind attacked Cang Ju who was standing below.
That demonic beast actually wanted to kill Cang Ju first. It actually knew that it should be easy first and difficult second!
Xiao Lingyu snorted coldly. A Seal of Chaos whizzed out and blasted towards Cang Ju.
Although the magical beast seemed to be unscathed, it was definitely not completely unharmed after being pierced through by the Divine Light Sword.
The human-shaped demonic beast did not dare to take Xiao Lingyu's Seal of Chaos head-on. It dodged the attack and Xiao Lingyu landed beside Cang Ju.
The six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs appeared once again. Although they did not form a Divine Light Sword, they still made the illusory Magical Beast not dare to continue attacking. Instead, it hid itself again.
This kind of magical beast was good at looking for opportunities to attack instead of fighting head-on, especially when it was disadvantageous to them.
Xiao Lingyu guessed that the magical beast appeared here to prevent them from touching the box.
Therefore, he did not look for the magical beast. Instead, he flew up again with Cang Ju and slashed at the black iron box with the Silver Moon Broken Blade.
The magical beast seemed to be very confident in the defense of the black iron box and did not come out to stop them.
However, after a sharp 'clang' sound, the seemingly sturdy black metal box was split into two.
Cang Ju originally felt that they should not break the box so violently. However, he did not have a better idea or suggestion, so he did not say anything.
Ji!!!
As soon as the box was broken, the hidden magical beast let out a loud cry. Its body appeared beside the box. Its long hair turned into a long snake and surrounded Xiao Lingyu.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was about to break the box, the magical beast used a superb concealment technique to sneak to the side. Seeing that the box was broken, it could not help but reveal itself to attack.
Xiao Lingyu was already prepared. The six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs whizzed out again. However, they did not form a Divine Light Sword to attack. Instead, they surrounded the magical beast's head and cast a Divine Light Screen to seal the magical beast.
The human-shaped illusory Magical Beast kept hitting the Divine Light Screen with an extremely angry look. However, its attacks had no effect on the Divine Light Screen. Instead, it caused the six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs to continuously release Divine Light to bombard its body.
After sealing the magical beast, Xiao Lingyu calmed down and looked at the top of the altar.
After the black metal box was broken open, a palm-sized jade slip was revealed. However, although the jade slip did not withstand the attack of the silver moon broken blade, it was still damaged when the box exploded. Its surface was already covered with cracks, and it looked like it could break apart at any time.
Xiao Lingyu guessed that the jade slip must contain extraordinary content. However, he did not touch it for fear that it would break apart. Instead, he immersed his consciousness into it.
Just as Xiao Lingyu's consciousness entered the jade slip, the jade slip suddenly cracked. The content engraved in the jade slip was also split into dozens of pieces. However, Xiao Lingyu forcefully gathered them together and kept them in his soul memory.
However, what made Xiao Lingyu helpless was that it was extremely difficult for him to put the disordered content together.
Xiao Lingyu was not in a hurry to put it together. Instead, he turned around and looked at the trapped magical beast.
Under the bombardment of the Demon Suppressing Immortal Orb, the magical beast was no longer in its human form. Instead, it had turned into a small snake covered in wounds. It still looked like it was on its last breath. However, it was no longer in an illusory state.
Xiao Lingyu did not have any pity. He used his consciousness to control the Demon Suppressing Immortal Orb to continue attacking until the magical beast was completely destroyed.
His strength had increased by a lot. Under Xiao Lingyu's control, the Demon Suppressing Immortal Orb's power had increased by a lot.
Even if his cultivation had been demonized, the Primal Chaos Energy was still Origin Energy. Xiao Lingyu could control any type of magic treasure. Moreover, the Demon Suppressing Immortal Orb's Divine Aura did not have much effect on him.
After putting away the Demon Suppressing Immortal Orb, Xiao Lingyu put the small snake into the Spirit Beast Pouch. Together with the magical beast he had killed before, he gave it to the strange cub with the Primal Chaos Energy.
The cultivators and magical beasts of the Devil Realm could rely on devouring the energy of other cultivators or magical beasts to increase their cultivation. The strange cub was no exception.
"Leader, the jade slip is broken. What did you see?" Cang Ju asked curiously.
"Hehe, the things recorded are very messy. However, don't worry. Once I've sorted it out, I will definitely share it with you." Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"Leader, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to be greedy for the content inside. I just thought that it would be a pity if the content inside disappeared. After all, we took a lot of risks to come here." Cang Ju said with a dry smile.
"It's not too dangerous. Even that strange demonic beast was only at the peak of the late True Demon Realm. It wasn't at the Spirit Demon Realm. If it was at the Spirit Demon Realm, the two of us would probably die here."
After Xiao Lingyu said this, he walked back the way he came, but just after two steps, he asked again, "There should be only one place where the treasure is hidden, right?"
Cang Ju was stunned for a moment, then he said with certainty, "There is only one place!"
The reason why Cang Ju was stunned was not because he was thinking about how to answer, but because he was thinking about Xiao Lingyu's previous words.
The magical beast that could transform into a phantom was at the peak of True Demon Late Stage. Even with such cultivation, it was not the opponent of the leader. Moreover, it was almost obliterated without hurting the leader. Then what is the strength of the leader?
If the leader was at the Spirit Demon Stage, then why did he say that he would die here if he encountered a True Demon Stage magical beast?
In fact, if it weren't for the Divine Tool in his hand, if it weren't for the quality of his body that was close to the best quality Demon Tool, and if it weren't for the six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs that were extremely powerful against the existence of the Demon Path, Xiao Lingyu wouldn't have such a strong lethality with his Chaos Power, Chaos Seal, and Chaos True Fire.
On the way back, although there were some magical beasts that didn't open their eyes to stop them, but the magical beasts' strength was relatively weak. The restrictions on the way were broken, so Xiao Lingyu only took a cup of tea's time to get out of the giant statue's nose.
The Demon Scorpion Valley has been cleaned up by the cultivators of the Heavenly Bandits, but there was nothing added. The bandits each chose a cave at the foot of the mountain to cultivate.
After Xiao Lingyu came out, Zhu Jin and the other two Demon King Middle-stage bandit leaders came up to them and happily reported the harvest of the Demon Scorpion Sect.
The profit of the Demon Stones was a lot, a total of one million Medium Grade Demon Stones, and several thousand High Grade Demon Stones. For a sect like the Demon Scorpion Sect, being able to collect so many Demon Stones while cultivating their disciples and Demon Scorpions was already very good.
In addition to the Demon Stones, there were also hundreds of Demon Scorpions, as well as a lot of materials.
All in all, this robbery was very successful, but this time it wasn't a robbery, it was more like a sect extermination.
This time, the Heavenly Bandits really tasted the sweetness of a large-scale operation. Once they tasted the sweetness of this operation, they were afraid that in the future, it would be like a flood that broke through the dam.
This kind of thing was addictive, and Xiao Lingyu made them addicted.
Xiao Lingyu called several Demon King Realm experts together. First, he introduced Cang Ju to everyone. Then, he discussed the matter of this operation with everyone. After that, he got up and left.
But before leaving, Xiao Lingyu said to Cang Ju, "I will need some time to sort out the contents of the jade slip. Once I understand it, I will definitely tell you."
After more than a day, Xiao Lingyu returned to the East Pole Demon Sect and returned to the valley of the Imperial Beast Hall.
The Imperial Beast Hall was still the same, but when Xiao Lingyu returned, he discovered that Miao Yan, who had been recuperating in seclusion, had come out and was chatting happily with Wang Tai and Hao Ren.
Seeing Xiao Lingyu return, Wang Tai and Hao Ren welcomed him with smiles. Miao Yan, on the other hand, seemed a little embarrassed. He only nodded as a greeting and then left on his own.
"Thank you for your help these past few days," Xiao Lingyu said politely.
"Haha, this is nothing. But hurry up and tell us about the situation outside," Hao Ren said with a smile.
