There were countless Origin Orchid veins in Burial Ridge, but it wasn't easy to explore and exploit them. Hence, even though there were hundreds of families based on Origin Orchid veins in Burial Ridge, there were still many Origin Orchid veins that had yet to be discovered or exploited.
Deep within a mountain, there was a canyon. It was usually deserted, but now it was occupied by a large number of demons.
There was such an undiscovered Source Rock Orchid vein here.
Waves of Death Qi rose from the vein and shrouded the entire canyon.
Vast numbers of Origin Demons had gathered here.
There was a figure about twenty feet tall in the depths of the canyon.
However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that the Daoist figure wasn't a real human. His face was covered in yellow scales, and his eyes were also yellow. His true identity was clearly a demon in human form.
In front of the strange figure, there was a yellow, fist-sized bead floating in the air. It was constantly rotating, and it was surrounded by waves of Yellow Springs Death Qi.
What was even stranger was that the pearl constantly emitted shrill cries and sounds of pain. They sounded like the wails of ghosts.
One could faintly see that there was an unending stream of uncountable souls within the pearl.
The strange figure spat out a mouthful of blood onto the pearl.
Soon after, a blood-red glow was suddenly emitted from within the bead, and it crushed towards those Soul Shadows.
In the next moment, the shrill cries and sounds of pain disappeared. The souls dispersed, turning into surging energy that surged towards the figure.
The figure took a deep breath. The energy gathered into a small stream and was sucked in through the figure's nostrils.
After a long while, all the energy had been absorbed and refined, and the aura on the figure's body had become much stronger out of nowhere.
At that moment, a grey-robed man walked out of the shadows and respectfully arrived before the figure. "Lord Demon Prince, we have a large number of Origin Demons under our command. They were all slaughtered by the Qiu Family cultivators when they were collecting souls for you."
"The Qiu Family?" The scaled Demon Prince's expression was hideous and hideous. His voice was extremely savage. "Isn't the strongest cultivator in the Qiu Family a Nascent Soul cultivator? They shouldn't have that ability. "
The grey-robed man didn't dare to hide anything. "The Qiu family indeed doesn't have the ability to do so, but they have the Sword Sect behind them. This time, two disciples of the Sword Sect just happened to be in the Qiu family, so …"
The Demon Prince's gaze descended onto the grey robed man, and he pondered for a moment before he said, "The Sword Sect … isn't to be trifled with. Fine, let's forget about this matter. Don't think about attacking the disciples of the Sword Sect.
Since there are only two of them, they won't be able to stop so many of my subordinates. Once we're done with this batch of souls, we'll return to the origin. I don't think they can do anything to us. "
"How's the setup going on your side?" The Demon Prince retracted his gaze and questioned.
A dark glint flashed through the gray-robed man's eyes, but his expression remained extremely respectful. "It's been set up long ago. Origin Demons capable of destroying the families within the Hundred Strands of Source Orchids are already lying dormant within the mine.
They were just waiting for their lord's order, and then these Genesis Demons would swarm out in full force, bathe Burial Ridge in blood, and gather enough souls for their lord.
At that time, after you've finished harvesting these souls, you'll return to the origin. The heavens are high, and the emperor is far away. No matter how angry the humans are, they won't be able to do anything to you. "
"Not bad." The Demon Prince nodded in satisfaction and praised, "You were the ones who came up with this plan. If it goes smoothly in the end, I'll remember your contributions.
It's not impossible for you to introduce me to the Origin Demon King. "
The gray-robed man was overjoyed when he heard this. "Thank you, Lord Demon Prince."
"You may leave." The Demon Prince waved his hand.
The gray-robed man bowed respectfully and silently retreated.
After the gray-robed man left, the Demon Prince turned around and walked inside.
A black shadow abruptly appeared in the endless Yellow Springs death aura.
Slowly, the black shadow's full appearance gradually became clear.
It was a gigantic statue-like Origin Demon that looked like a lion. Its entire body was covered in yellow scales, and the scales were clearly visible.
At this moment, it was looking down at the Demon Prince. Its yellow eyes were bright and seemed to have a strange power that could see through one's heart. However, its pupils seemed to have no focus and were extremely lifeless.
It was a huge monster with a shocking aura.
Even the Demon Prince seemed extremely small in front of this Origin Demon.
However, the Demon Prince did not care at all.
This was because this gigantic Origin Demon was called the Origin Lion. It was his guardian and had to listen to his orders.
In the next moment, the Origin Lion meekly lowered its head under the Demon Prince's gaze.
The Demon Prince stretched out his hand and stroked the Origin Lion's enormous head, revealing an incomparably savage smile.
"If everything goes smoothly this time, I'll definitely be able to advance to the Fifth Stage after refining so much soul power in Burial Ridge." The Demon Prince murmured, "I just don't know why Father forbade me from using such a powerful divine ability.
So what if I kill all the humans in Burial Ridge?
Fortunately, these Hades cultivators came to me and helped me carry out the massacre plan in Burial Ridge while Father was in seclusion.
However, they want to see Lord Father through me with just them? Dream on! "
The Demon Prince could not help but laugh smugly.
Naturally, he could tell that these cultivators of the Underworld were harboring ill intentions.
However, he had only been using these Hades cultivators to achieve his goal from the beginning. Once he achieved his goal, he was prepared to turn hostile.
On the other side, the gray-robed man who had respectfully retreated revealed a trace of mockery on his face after retreating from the canyon.
"Take credit for our contribution? Who do you think you are?
You even introduced me to the Origin Demon King. Do you really think I don't know that you're fooling me? Do you think I can't see through the thoughts of a demon brat?
You're still too inexperienced to play tricks with me. You think you're using us, but you don't know that our plan is even bigger.
This time, I'll let you leave alive but not return alive! "
Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed across the gray-robed man's eyes.
As the Nine Serenities Hall Master, if he could not win against a pampered Demon Prince in terms of tricks, then he would really be a Hall Master for nothing.
.....
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan were flipping through the detailed information provided by the Qiu Family when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"What's going on?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
In the next instant, Qiu Changqing rushed in, his expression urgent. "My lord, there's a new situation."
"Speak!" Ji Chuan's gaze sharpened.
"Another Origin Demon has started a riot and is currently wreaking havoc in Yanglou Town's Song Family." Qiu Changqing's expression was solemn. "I've already mobilized the clan's men and are preparing to head to Yanglou Town to reinforce the Song Family and slay the Origin Demon."
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan exchanged a glance, understanding each other's intentions.
"The situation is urgent, so there's no time to lose. My junior brother and I will head out to reinforce Yanglou Town first," Ji Chuan said. "Family Head Qiu, we won't keep you company for now. If we're even a moment late, countless mortals will be slaughtered by the Origin Demon."
"It's only right. Slaying demons is of utmost importance," Family Head Qiu said.
"Let's go." A flying sword appeared beneath Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan's feet, and they swiftly shot through the air.
Qiu Changqing sighed emotionally as he watched the two leave. "The Sword Sect's disciples are truly righteous."
He could naturally tell that Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan truly cared about the lives of these mortals. They truly cared about this matter and didn't treat it as an ordinary sect mission.
"My Qiu Family is indeed fortunate to have the Sword Sect behind us!" Qiu Changqing muttered to himself. Then, he hurriedly mobilized the clan's cultivators, preparing to follow closely behind and assist Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan in dealing with the Song Family's calamity.
The moment Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan left, Qiu Shiyin, who had been quietly recuperating on her bed, seemed to sense something. She abruptly rose to her feet and silently left the Qiu Family.
… …
Whoosh!
Two streaks of sword light whizzed through the sky.
Ji Chuan's cultivation base was far superior to Lu Qingshan's, so his flying speed was far superior to Lu Qingshan's.
"Junior brother, I'll head out first."
The situation was urgent. Ji Chuan knew that every second he delayed would result in more deaths in Yanglou Town, so he didn't even wait for Lu Qingshan.
"Senior brother, don't worry." Lu Qingshan naturally didn't have any objections. "I'll be there soon."
Then, Ji Chuan increased his speed slightly, transforming into a streak of light with the sound of a sonic boom. He moved as fast as lightning, quickly shaking off Lu Qingshan and disappearing from sight.
