Lu Xiaotian's attitude was one thing, but the Phantom Scorpion King was extremely surprised by Lu Xiaotian's carefree attitude. In a different place, if it was him who was almost forced into a dead end, the Phantom Scorpion King's attitude would definitely not be good.
It could also be that this person was putting on an act. If that was really the case, this person's scheming was too unusual. Thinking of this, the Phantom Scorpion King's fear of Lu Xiaotian increased a little. A mere mid-Body Integration Stage was already so terrifying. If they really fought, the Phantom Scorpion King still felt that it was stronger than the other party's last formation.
It was just that the formation set up by the other party was too terrifying. When the formation was about to be completed, the aura it gave off was almost unstoppable. It was even more powerful than the strongest general under the Demon Monarch. If the Demon Monarch had not intervened just now, it was most likely that it would have died in this formation.
Although it could not see Lu Xiaotian's expression through the ferocious-looking ghost mask, it could roughly judge from Lu Xiaotian's eyes that the other party had probably paid a heavy price to set up such a formation. Otherwise, it would not have been used at the last moment.
Lu Xiaotian and the Phantom Scorpion King looked amiable on the surface, but the remaining two Body Integration Stage scorpion demons and Ban Qianren were glaring at each other.
Ban Qianren's granddaughter Ban Yao had lost her physical body, and the two Body Integration Stage scorpion demons had also lost two companions. One was killed directly, and the other was seriously injured. In the end, it was killed by the battle between Lu Xiaotian and the Phantom Scorpion King. Even its primordial spirit could not escape.
"My poor granddaughter. If this calamity fell on this old man, how good would it be? This old man does not have much time left, but this old man's granddaughter is still young. She still has a lot of years to live. "Ban Qianren muttered to himself. After he recovered, he said with a mournful expression.
Perhaps if the Demon Monarch had intervened earlier, Ban Yao might have been able to avoid this calamity and preserve her physical body. However, the Demon Monarch only intervened when Lu Xiaotian was about to succeed in setting up the formation to kill the Phantom Scorpion King.
Lu Xiaotian thought to himself that perhaps the Demon Lord had been watching from the sidelines for a long time. Perhaps he just wanted to see how far this battle would go. As for the life and death of Ban Yao and the two merged scorpion demons, he didn't care.
As for the Demon King, Lu Xiaotian was also deeply moved. He hadn't expected that accepting Pill King Li's invitation would lead to such a result.
Back in Pill King Li's Cloud City, Lu Xiaotian wanted to obtain the Bone Cleansing Pill refined by Pill King Li to break through to the Body Integration Realm. In exchange, Lu Xiaotian had to go to the Thousand Chord Temple to retrieve a Buddhist treasure. This was also the reason why he was pursued by Thunder Monk Ming Eshuang and Zen Master Ming Yi.
Later on, he was lucky enough to escape, but because he had been in the Blue Mirror Lake for too long, the Buddhist treasure he had obtained had lost its original function.
However, Lu Xiaotian's Yao-Sealing Pagoda was a supreme treasure of the Buddhist Sect. With a single test, he managed to remove the curse from the Demon Nascent Souls. The Demon Nascent Souls had escaped and disappeared.
At the time, Lu Xiaotian had guessed that Pill King Li must've been used. Now, it seemed that Lu Xiaotian's guess had been confirmed.
Today's karmic retribution had been sown. Lu Xiaotian had nothing to regret. If it weren't for his exchange with Pill King Li and his breakthrough, he most likely wouldn't have had the strength to break free from the cage of certain death.
The Demon Monarch was likely behind the butterfly tide in the monster spirit sea. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of this. Who knew how many lives the Demon Monarch had poisoned to this day?
"The Demon Monarch only wants to see Lu Daoyou. As for Daoist Ban, there's no need to see him. The two of you will take Daoist Ban to the clan. "The Phantom Scorpion King said before leaving.
Ban Qianren looked nervously at Lu Xiaotian. At this point, his life depended on Lu Xiaotian's words. Just as the Phantom Scorpion King said, the Demon Monarch wanted to see Lu Xiaotian, but he didn't mention Ban Qianren.
At this time, he had completely lost his usefulness to Lu Xiaotian. If Lu Xiaotian ignored him, the two merged scorpions would be more than happy to send him to the afterlife. He and his granddaughter Ban Yao's primordial spirits would be difficult to protect.
"There's no need. Although the Demon Monarch didn't say he wanted to see Daoist Ban, he could've just waited for me outside Demon Advent City. There's no need to take him to your clan." Ban Qianren had been very respectful to him over the years. After the fierce battle just now, he and Ban Yao had relieved a lot of pressure on Lu Xiaotian. Lu Xiaotian wasn't someone who would burn the bridge after crossing it. Naturally, he wouldn't sit by and watch the Phantom Scorpion King take Ban Qianren away.
"Since that's the case, I'll naturally listen to Lu Daoyou." The Phantom Scorpion King laughed. He wasn't sure what the Demon Monarch's attitude towards Lu Xiaotian was. However, from the looks of it, he shouldn't offend Lu Xiaotian for the time being. Not to mention how much the Demon Monarch valued Lu Xiaotian, just Lu Xiaotian's strength, especially that killing formation that was about to be set up, was enough to make him shudder.
"Thank you, Lu Daoyou." Ban Qianren looked gratefully at Lu Xiaotian. If the Demon Monarch hadn't called him out, he wouldn't have known that this person who claimed to be surnamed Xiang had actually changed his name. The Lu Xiaotian in front of him looked extremely mysterious. He was just a human cultivator, and with his strength, he could call the wind and summon the rain in the Human Territory. However, he had come to the Endless Demon Sea alone. However, no matter how mysterious Lu Xiaotian's origins were, he had become the only thing that Ban Qianren and Ban Yao could rely on. Otherwise, under the covetous eyes of these scorpion demons, there wouldn't be a place for them in this Demon Sea.
Lu Xiaotian and Ban Qianren followed the Phantom Scorpion King through the Demon Sea. The Phantom Scorpion King's body emitted a faint glow. When the innumerable butterflies in the Demon Sea came into contact with this glow, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to avoid it in time.
Lu Xiaotian glanced at the Phantom Scorpion King from time to time. This faint glow seemed to be somewhat similar to the aura that the Demon Monarch had released earlier.
Even with the speed of a Body Integration cultivator, they traveled through the Demon Sea for more than half a year. The dense swarm of butterflies suddenly disappeared into nothingness. What entered their eyes was the faint silhouettes of butterflies several meters tall gently flapping their wings in the seemingly pure and colorless sea water. Specks of fine powder scattered in the sea water. Then, they hatched into demonic butterflies at a speed visible to the naked eye. Each of them flapped their wings and converged towards the butterflies in the Demon Sea.
The several meter tall demonic butterflies emotionlessly watched Lu Xiaotian and Ban Qianren approach with their grey eyes. A glint flashed through their eyes. They flapped their wings and were about to pounce over.
Lu Xiaotian spread out his spiritual sense. He discovered that there was more than one such demonic butterfly in the Demon Sea. The demonic butterflies' auras were fierce and strange. Even with Lu Xiaotian's experience, he couldn't easily determine their strength.
"Evil creature, back down." At this moment, a familiar voice sounded. It was the Demon Monarch who had appeared once before.
The pure sea water suddenly split into two. With a series of cracking sounds, a flight of stairs made of beast bones and even more human bones extended towards Lu Xiaotian.
