The individual cultivators of Runan Society were blinded by greed, but Tong Wuyang was not stupid. He knew that some things should be taken, and it was best not to touch them.
When the rogue cultivators of Runan Path heard Tong Wuyang's words, they still didn't believe it. They took out their weapons and tried it. Indeed, as Tong Wuyang said, they couldn't leave the slightest mark on the demon beast's skeleton.
The martial artists on the Human List did not speak. Although the demon beast skeleton was precious, it was not precious enough to move them.
Moreover, even if they wanted to put the demon beast skeleton directly into their mustard seed bag, they could not do it. The skeleton was too big, and their mustard seed bag was not that big.
Therefore, this thing would probably fall into the hands of the Seven Heroes Association and the Shangguan Clan in the end. After all, these two clans had the advantage of being in a favorable position.
"There is still a path ahead, but it seems to have been dug out by someone." Tong Wuyang pointed ahead.
Everyone walked around the demon beast skeleton, and there was indeed a tunnel in front of them. However, this tunnel did not seem to be formed naturally, but was dug out by someone.
Everyone looked at each other and carefully explored forward. However, the more they walked, the colder the feeling became. Everyone looked at each other and became more and more careful.
Moreover, the passageway was winding, and no one could tell where it led to. Only after walking for an hour did the passageway open up in front of them, revealing a huge open space. However, the items placed in the open space caused everyone to scratch their heads in confusion.
There were two huge chains in the center of the empty space. One of them was wrapped around a strangely shaped pitch-black withered tree, while the other was empty.
The dead tree was very strange. There were two thick branches at the top, like two hands, and the pattern on the front of the dead tree was like a human face, looking extremely evil.
The most important thing was that there was a blood-colored long sword stuck in the dead tree, shining with a sharp luster. At first glance, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary weapon.
He Feng, Ling Jiuchen, Xin Er, and the others narrowed their eyes when they saw the longsword. They were all warriors who used swords, so they were extremely sensitive to swords. They could tell at a glance that the longsword was not blood-colored before, but had absorbed some kind of blood to produce this blood-colored glow.
Everyone immediately turned to look at the withered tree. Could this thing also be a demon? Could trees also become demons?
But before everyone could think too much about it, a rogue cultivator who came with Tong Wuyang suddenly had a greedy glint in his eyes as he directly grabbed the long sword!
These Rogue Cultivators had probably never even touched a Mystic Grade weapon in their lives, let alone a higher level one.
Looking at the appearance of the longsword, it was at least an Earth level weapon. As long as he could get his hands on it, he wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life.
Driven by greed, he completely ignored He Feng and the others around him. He was prepared to snatch the sword and run away.
He Feng and the others didn't expect someone to be so bold. They couldn't react for a moment and could only watch as the warrior grabbed the long sword and pulled it out.
However, at the same time that the warrior pulled the long sword out, the ground suddenly began to shake. Everyone didn't notice it until now, but they saw that there was an array under their feet, and the core of the array was the dead tree!
The radiance of the Spirit Array lit up, and the coldness became more and more intense. The martial artist who tried to snatch the sword was dumbfounded, because the withered tree seemed to be coming back to life, and it was still trembling. Seeing this scene, even an idiot could imagine what was going on.
This place was obviously used to suppress the legendary Big Ancient Demon. The chains, the array, and even the longsword embedded in the withered tree were all part of it!
Most importantly, this might not be a Great Ancient Demon, but a legendary Demon King that was comparable to the True Martial Realm!
Although the demon outside looked mighty, it was slapped to death by someone, and now only a pile of bones was left.
In the end, this seemingly unremarkable dead tree was first entangled by the incomparably strong iron chains, then locked by the array, and finally had its blood sucked by the long sword. With such a strenuous suppression, one could imagine what kind of existence this dead tree was at its peak.
Now that they had let it out, with just the aura of the Xiantian Realm warriors, it would be enough to kill all of them!
"You idiot!"
Shen Qinghong angrily punched out, and the warrior who tried to snatch the sword was sent flying while vomiting blood.
However, other than venting his anger, there was no other use for him. In any case, the sword had already been pulled out.
But just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, the dead tree trembled twice, and its branches fell to the ground, and unexpectedly broke into pieces, completely lifeless.
Everyone was suddenly stunned. What was going on? Could it be that they had guessed wrong?
However, the cold aura in the surroundings was getting more and more intense, and this was not an illusion.
Just as they were feeling puzzled, a melodious laugh suddenly rang out.
"Hehehe, even an old tree bark can scare you to this extent. The human race is really very timid.
This old tree bark was indeed very famous in the past. It was one of the 72 ancient Demon Monarchs, the Evergreen Tree King. It was the only existence among the 72 Demon Monarchs that had become a Demon Monarch from a tree.
This old thing's strength was not much, but it was extremely difficult to kill, so your human race suppressed it here, and used the Soul Binding Chain to seal its Primordial Spirit, and then used the Daoist True Scarlet Fire Array to continuously roast it, using fire to subdue wood, and constantly erasing its vitality. Finally, you used the murderous weapon Blood Congealing Sword to stab into its Demon Core, absorbing its blood and vitality. After a few thousand years, you finally exhausted this old tree bark to death. "
When everyone heard this, they all looked up, only to see that beside the other iron chain, a breathtakingly beautiful woman had appeared out of nowhere, and was looking at them with a sweet smile.
However, this woman did not have the slightest aura, and even her body was somewhat transparent. It was a little strange at first glance.
If Su Xin was here, he would definitely recognize this woman in front of him. She was Qingli's Primordial Spirit!
However, the Qingli's Primordial Spirit sealed here was much weaker than the Qingli's Primordial Spirit that Su Xin had discovered in the northwest.
Although the Qingli's Primordial Spirit that Su Xin had discovered in the northwest was weak, it still had a certain amount of strength. At the very least, she could conjure an illusion of a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, and even gave off an aura that even Su Xin could not distinguish if it was real or fake.
However, the Qingli's Primordial Spirit here was already extremely weak, and she could only barely maintain an image of herself.
Of course, the people present did not know this. When they suddenly saw Qingli, they did not feel surprised, but only horrified.
According to what she said, the Evergreen Tree King was one of the 72 ancient Monster Kings, but now it had been obliterated here. However, this woman who suddenly appeared was still alive. Wasn't her strength even more terrifying than the Evergreen Tree King?
In that case, she was also a Monster King, and a Monster King with the most terrifying strength. Just look at the iron chain under her feet. This so-called Soul-binding Chain was wrapped around the Evergreen Tree King, but the Soul-binding Chain that was supposed to be wrapped around her fell to the ground.
Seeing their expressions, Qingli did not explain too much. She just said with a smile, "After tens of thousands of years, I finally see someone. You guys can discuss this. Who wants to take me out?"
What would the consequences be of taking a sealed Ancient Monster King out? This kind of thing was easy to figure out.
On the other hand, the Rogue Cultivators that Tong Wuyang brought with him were all tempted.
They were just Rogue Cultivators. Usually, they did not have that many ideals and revenge. Now, they just wanted to save their lives. If they did not take this Ancient Monster King out, would they be killed?
However, before they could speak, the 'Tame Tiger Monk' of Shaolin Temple, Yuan Hui, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Evildoer! In ancient times, you slaughtered countless humans. Now, you want to go out and cause trouble in Jianghu? Even if we all die here with you, don't even think about leaving! "
Hearing Yuan Hui's words, the Rogue Cultivators cursed in their hearts. The people of Shaolin Temple were really the most annoying. You want to die, but we don't want to die!
Shen Qinghong, Shangguan Chenfeng, and the others also frowned. You, Yuan Hui, want to be a martyr, but we don't. You've represented us with just one sentence. What do you mean?
Qing Li shook her head and said, "Buddhist monks are truly unlikable no matter where they go. Let me correct you. I won't take you down with me. You won't live, but I won't die."
Yuan Hui said coldly, "Are you going to kill us now?"
Qingli waved her hand and said, "To correct one thing, it's not me who wants to kill you, it's the means that your ancestors set up to kill you. Of course, with my current appearance, I can't kill you even if I want to."
"What do you mean?"
"Look behind you and you'll know." Qingli pointed behind them.
From the moment they came in, they were attracted by the Evergreen Tree King and Qingli, so they did not pay attention to the movement behind them.
At this moment, when they turned their heads to take a look, everyone present felt their scalps go numb.
They saw that the walls around them began to wriggle, and one by one, humanoid monsters squeezed out of the walls. There were so many of them that it was almost impossible to count them. It was as if the surrounding walls were made of these monsters.
These humanoid monsters were pitch-black, as if their skin and flesh were rotten. Their bodies were covered with sharp thorns, and they looked extremely ferocious.
Before, they always thought that the cold aura was emitted from Qingli and the Evergreen Tree King. Only now did they know that the cold aura was emitted from these humanoid monsters!
