Chapter 1014

If they went to the Heart-forgotten Hut, the side task might be activated and they might have a lucky encounter. However, going back and forth would make it too late for the main task, and the danger was hard to estimate. Not to mention the possibility of Skyscraping True Demon arriving in advance, just the guy who took away the Cauldron of Luck was enough to make them very cautious.

After discussing a few words with Secret Voice-sending, Mengqi and Zhao Heng looked at each other and shook their heads. They planned to let him speak and see if he was willing to join the team.

Zhao Heng had already returned his sword to its sheath. Standing there, he cupped his hands and replied, "Senior Baizhang, this matter is about speed. It has nothing to do with the number of people and strength. If we encounter Skyscraping True Demon or similar experts, we might not be able to defeat them even if we work together. If we don't, with your Lightness Skill, we won't be able to snatch it away if we arrive at the same time."

He didn't mention the situation where they didn't arrive at the same time. Unless they arrived at the same time, whoever was late could only look at the empty Heart-forgotten Hut and be annoyed.

"Senior Thousand Feet, you can travel thousands of miles with the help of the wind. If we go, we'll be a burden to you. Why don't we go directly to the Celestial Skyscraping Palace and take advantage of the time when the Celestial Skyscraping Old Demon is rushing to the Heart-forgotten Hut to capture the remaining demons in one fell swoop?"

Currently, the three demons left in the Skyscraping Palace were Water Demon, Shadow Demon, and Blood Demon. Two of them were probably in the Oneness of Heaven and Men state with the help of Devil Qi, but they were definitely weaker than Jiang Hengchuan. Water Demon was only in the Heaven-man Connection state, and his strength was equal to Iron Demon. Because it was forcibly enhanced by Devil Qi, Jiang Zhiwei, Zhao Heng, and Mengqi could beat him. Qi Zhengyan and Ruan Yushu could also fight evenly.

Even if the Corpse Demon had returned to the Skyscraping Palace, they wouldn't choose to attack it by force. As long as they could seize the opportunity to kill one of the weaker demons, Mengqi would drag the Corpse Demon out, and Zhao Heng would intercept one of the remaining two demons. Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, and Ruan Yushu would join forces.

As the number of enemies decreased, things would become easier even if Mengqi and the others consumed a lot of energy. They could just give up fighting the Corpse Demon in the end. After all, they only needed six Demonic Crystals.

Moreover, this didn't take into account the Demon Suppressing Tower!

Taoist Baizhang laughed self-deprecatingly. "The Daoist was so anxious that he lost his mind. Donor Zhao and Donor Su are right. If we can take this opportunity to get rid of the remaining demons, Skyscraping True Devil won't be able to do anything alone. Even if his demonic skills dominate the world, how much influence can he have?"

At present, the Seven Great Demon Generals took turns to suppress all sides, assisted by the Enchanted Demons and Evil Spirits with spiritual intelligence. They had almost controlled all the prosperous places in the world. Even if the Three Sages of World-saving joined forces to kill one or two of them, it would be difficult for them to do so quickly in the face of a large number of enemies and the formation. They would be delayed until the reinforcements arrived. They even almost fell into a trap and died in the hands of Skyscraping True Devil. Therefore, unless there was an absolute opportunity, they wouldn't have the courage to do such a thing again.

But if the Seven Great Demon Generals were eliminated, how could the remaining evil spirits with limited strength and the Enchanted Demons with evil intentions threaten the masters of the Righteous?

No matter how strong Skyscraping True Devil was, he was alone. Moreover, he wasn't a legendary master who could turn the world upside down. At that time, he would have to fight everywhere and it would be difficult to achieve good results. The situation would turn for the better. At most, the masters of the Righteous would continue to sneak around.

After that, Taoist Baizhang turned to the Thunderous Sword Godly and the Eight-fingered Magical Palm. "Madam Tong, Mr. Zu, you've been poisoned by the Devil Qi and the poisonous fog. You don't have to accompany the Daoist anymore. Go back and recuperate. The Devil Qi is like maggots in the bones. If you're not careful, it will entangle your body and Vital Spirit. It'll be difficult to get rid of it, and your temperament will gradually change."

He reminded them of the dangers of the Devil Qi. It could contaminate the body and Vital Spirit, change one's temperament and character, and lead one to become a devil. At present, the Enchanted Demons were all infected by the Devil Qi and were slowly developing in the direction of the Devil Qi. However, some of them still maintained their desire for light and could secretly provide help to the Righteous. Occasionally, they would lose control of their emotions and become bloodthirsty.

Hearing this, Mengqi felt that it was a wise decision to prepare the Filth-extracting Pill for them. Of course, in the previous battle, except for his injury, Jiang Zhiwei and the others were not infected by the Devil Qi. As long as his Eight Nine Mysteries and Golden Bell Shield were not broken, even if the Devil Qi entered his body, it would be slowly dispelled.

Tong Yao didn't try to be brave. She cupped her hands and said, "Everyone, the Skyscraping Palace won't let it go so easily after the three demons were killed. Their revenge will follow soon. I have to go back and arrange for the disciples to move. I have to leave now."

"With the help of the righteous and righteous people, the Blood Devil and the others are nothing to worry about." Zu Wenzhong said a few words of compliment and left.

Soon, the ruins were cleared, leaving only the sound of croaking echoing everywhere.

"Benefactors, whether you want to go to Mount Yan or the Skyscraping Palace, you have to pass through Water Valley City. The Daoist might as well give you a ride and ask for some information." Taoist Baizhang made a gesture of invitation.

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "That's good."

…

In Water Valley City, the streets were not closed as Mengqi had imagined. There were still stalls selling goods and pedestrians coming and going, but it was a little desolate and the people looked numb.

"In the beginning, the people were afraid of the demons. Nine out of ten cities were deserted and they hid in the mountains and forests. But the wilderness was also dangerous. The demons were limited in number and they didn't kill many people every day. So people returned to the cities and struggled at death's door. This place was ruled by an Enchanter, whose temperament hadn't changed completely. There were only one or two days of bloodthirst every month, and the victims were the old, the weak and the sick, so it was still a prosperous place." Taoist Baizhang sighed helplessly, hating himself for not being able to end such a world.

Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others felt a little gloomy. No one was in the mood to joke. They followed Taoist Baizhang through the long street, turned into a small alley, and stopped at the back door of a large house.

Taoist Baizhang leaped over the wall and led Mengqi and the others through the garden parlor to the study, avoiding the servants and maids along the way.

"Demons are cruel and treacherous. Enchanters often have people contaminated with Devil Qi around them. They monitor each other to find problems and replace them, so they can't meet with others." Taoist Baizhang explained outside the study.

Mengqi and the others immediately understood that he was here to see the ruler of this place.

Knock, knock, knock. Taoist Baizhang knocked rhythmically on the door of the study, but there was no response.

So he opened the door and stepped into the study, motioning Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others to restrain their breath and wait patiently.

Not long after, someone with a strong breath approached. At the end of the corridor, he ordered the servants to stand guard outside while he walked through the long corridor, opened the door of the study, and strolled in.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Meng Qi and the others. He raised his eyebrows and closed the door without batting an eyelid.

"Senior Baizhang, who are they?" He lowered his voice and asked the familiar Taoist Baizhang.

It was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe and a jade belt, with a neatly trimmed mustache.

Taoist Baizhang smiled and said, "This is' Earth-shaking 'Zhao Heng. Haven't you heard of him, Donor Xiong?"

"So it's' Earth-shaking '." Governor Xiong nodded in understanding. No wonder he felt as if he was on equal footing with Taoist Baizhang.

"These are the righteous men Donor Zhao found from overseas." Taoist Baizhang did not introduce them in detail for fear that he would leak the news when he lost control of his emotions.

Governor Xiong looked at Mengqi and the others and asked in a low voice, "What did you do? Yesterday, the Corpse Demon passed by in a panic and flew into a rage. He killed three hundred people to appease his anger, but he didn't tell me anything. "

"With the help of these righteous men, the Fire Demon, the Weapon Demon, and the Iron Demon were killed in the ruins of the Temple of Eternal Spring." Taoist Baizhang was quite happy to mention this. It would have been perfect if the Fate-protecting Cauldron had not been stolen.

"What?" Governor Xiong's pupils dilated and he almost lost control of his voice.

After two breaths, he suppressed his emotions and asked in a trembling voice, "You killed the Fire Demon, the Weapon Demon, and the Iron Demon?"

"Yes, the Weapon Demon and the Fire Demon were killed by the righteous men, and the Iron Demon was killed by the Daoist and the others." Taoist Baizhang was not greedy or vain at all.

Governor Xiong's heart was in turmoil. Looking at Mengqi and the others who sat quietly beside him, he could not imagine that they could kill the insufferably arrogant Fire Demon!

Was it true that there was always someone better than him? He calmed himself down and said with a wry smile, "These righteous men are really dragons and phoenixes among men."

"Governor Xiong, what's the latest news?" Taoist Baizhang did not want to dwell on the past and changed the subject.

Governor Xiong's face turned solemn. "Zen Master Sanity has passed away."

"What?" Taoist Baizhang almost lost his voice.

Zen Master Sanity, one of the Three World-saving Sages, had passed away?

Mengqi and the others thought of the "Nation-Stabilizing Seal" at the same time. Could it be that Zen Master Sanity had passed away because of it?

Governor Xiong said in a low voice, "I received news that ten days ago, Zen Master Sanity was stopped by a mysterious man and passed away after a bitter battle. The" Nation-Stabilizing Seal "was taken away."

"A mysterious man?" Taoist Baizhang thought it was Skyscraping True Devil himself.

Governor Xiong nodded. "I don't know who it was. I only know that he wore a mask and was extremely powerful."

The Myths? The Immortals? Mengqi and the others immediately thought of these two organizations. Did this mission overlap with theirs?

Could it be that their mission was to get the Fate-guarding Trigram?

But wouldn't it be too easy?

"The Nation-Stabilizing Seal was taken away … It seems that they are in cahoots with the one who took the Fate-guarding Cauldron …" Taoist Baizhang whispered to himself. In this way, the Royal Jade Bell of the Heart-forgotten Hut might also be their target. He could only hope that they could not find the location of the Heart-forgotten Hut for the time being and could not send their forces there.

This information was so shocking that it took Taoist Baizhang some time to digest it. He left with Mengqi and the others. They parted ways at the city gate in an attempt to get ahead of the mysterious man.

"I didn't expect to meet the official members of the Myths or the Immortals." Mengqi felt a headache coming on. They could easily crush them to death.

They arrived at a secret place and were discussing this matter.

Zhao Heng shook his head and advised, "The official members of the Myths or the Immortals may not be very strong. Generally speaking, Samsara travelers can take the test as long as they pass the Death Task. Once they pass, they become official members instead of Samsara travelers. It is said that they have reached the realm of Heaven-man Connection."

"Although the task is extremely difficult and the number of people who pass the test is limited, it doesn't mean that no one has achieved the Oneness of Heaven and Men or the Half-step Exterior Scenery. So we can't overestimate the strength of the official members. If they are just newcomers and not veterans, we may be able to deal with them."

"Think about it. The strongest person in this world is Skyscraping True Devil. The Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms will not give them easy tasks. Their strength can be estimated. We will mind our own business and not be afraid of them!"

"Okay." Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others felt that Zhao Heng's analysis was not wrong. So they put aside their worries and hurried to the Skyscraping Palace.

After walking for a while, Mengqi suddenly remembered the description of the main task.

"Seal the passage to the Demonic World within a month and prevent Primogenitor Devil from completely awakening and descending …"

He stopped and said to Jiang Zhiwei and the others in a low voice, "Maybe the Myths or the Immortals did send experienced members here. Their enemy is not Skyscraping True Devil."

"Then what is it?" Zhao Heng was a little surprised.

Mengqi took a breath and said, "Primogenitor Devil!"
