In the Abyss, within the area enveloped by demonic aura.
"This is the passage that Lord Mystic Sovereign uses to return to the Tianmen Region. You must be very, very careful. Don't miss anything, "a ten-meter-tall demonic cultivator with green skin and blue eyes warned in a deep voice.
Behind him was a strange space.
The space had already collapsed and disappeared, revealing a fifty-meter-wide hole. Within it was a deep passage.
Beside the passage were five demonic cultivators with purple patterns all over their bodies.
They made strange hand seals with their hands, and dark purple energy continuously surged out from them. It flowed into the fifty-meter-wide hole, maintaining the pitch-black and constantly rotating passage from collapsing.
"Lord Blood Demon Master, don't worry. We know the severity of the situation," the leader of the five demonic cultivators with purple patterns said.
Seeing this, the demonic cultivator known as Blood Demon Master nodded in satisfaction. His dark blue eyes flickered slightly as he sank into deep thought.
Lord Mystic Sovereign was invited by Prince Qing to enter the Human Domain in order to use the "Blood" Formula to help Prince Qing refine his blood essence into blood essence and help him break through to the Half Ancestor Realm.
For this, Prince Qing listed many inconceivable conditions. Even Lord Mystic Sovereign was moved.
However, in the Abyss, the Half Ancestor Realm was the Half Saint Realm.
It should be known that even Lord Mystic Sovereign was only infinitely close to the Half Saint Realm.
If he really helped Prince Qing break through to the Half Ancestor Realm, wouldn't he be bringing disaster upon himself?
Lord Mystic Sovereign was naturally not that stupid, nor would he help his enemy.
His idea was that he could not fulfill all of the conditions that Prince Qing listed, but at least half of them. Similarly, he could help, but not all of them.
Even if the possibility of Prince Qing breaking through to the Half Ancestor Realm was very small, Lord Mystic Sovereign would not take this risk.
Thus, Lord Mystic Sovereign was prepared to do something when he helped Prince Qing refine the blood essence. He could not let the blood essence be useless, but he could not let it be too useful either. He had to completely eliminate the possibility of Prince Qing breaking through to the Half Ancestor Realm.
However, this was the Human Domain after all. It was hard to guarantee that Prince Qing, who had failed to break through, would not discover something fishy and force Lord Mystic Sovereign to stay in the Human Domain in desperation.
When they entered, Prince Qing needed Lord Mystic Sovereign's help. Naturally, Lord Mystic Sovereign would cooperate and let him in.
When he was about to leave, if Prince Qing made things difficult for him, it would be within his expectations.
He had to find a way out for himself in advance.
This was Lord Mystic Sovereign's consideration.
Therefore, Lord Xuan Zun wasted a lot of time and used his connections to invite the Demonic Practitioners of the Void Demons to help him open up a passage back to the Tianmen Region.
The boundary wall between the two worlds was incomparably sturdy. It was not easy to break through it.
In fact, this could not be considered a breakthrough.
This was because the spatial tunnel here was a small spatial tunnel left behind by the Demons when they first entered the Human Realm 20,000 years ago. Other than Xuan Zun, no one knew about it.
However, with the passage of 20,000 years, this small spatial passage had become unstable and could collapse at any time.
In addition, because it was a small spatial passage, it couldn't be used many times, and it couldn't bear the passage of powerful beings. Otherwise, it would collapse on its own.
There was no doubt that Lord Mystique belonged to the ranks of beings who were too powerful.
Under such circumstances, Xuan Zun could only go to great lengths to borrow manpower from the Void Demons to temporarily reinforce the Spatial Tunnel to ensure that he could pass through safely.
In fact, even a temporary reinforcement was not easy. After all, this was a spatial passage that connected the two worlds.
In fact, on the other side of this spatial passage, which was within the Abyss Tianmen Region, there were even more Demonic Practitioners working hard to maintain this spatial passage.
Just as Blood Demon Lord's mind was wandering, he suddenly felt an aura and his whole body trembled.
"Why are there outsiders here?"
In his perception, there were two Daoist auras in the outside world.
The Abyss Abyss was a forbidden area. Not only was it full of danger, but it also did not have many resources. There would never be any human Practitioners who would come here.
But at this moment, Blood Demon Lord did not have time to think about the reason. No matter what the situation was, since there were humans here, he had to kill these humans to prevent the news from leaking out!
With that thought, his figure blurred, and his aura skyrocketed. Without hesitation, he ran outside.
.....
Lu Qingshan and Li Qiubai looked at the place where Demonic Qi lingered in front of them with solemn expressions.
"Something's coming out," Li Qiubai suddenly said.
Within the area shrouded in Demonic Qi, a black shadow rushed out without any concealment.
Boom!
Before Lu Qingshan could open his mouth, a thunderous roar suddenly exploded.
Then, an incomparably ferocious figure suddenly appeared in their line of sight.
His figure was tall and sturdy, and his eyes were dark blue. An invisible yet terrifying wave spread out.
"Djinling Demons," Li Qiubai said.
"Blood Demon Lord!" Lu Qingshan could not help but exclaim softly. His mood was particularly complicated.
It seemed like a lot had changed, but it also seemed like nothing had changed.
Although the time was different, it was still the same place, and the same person.
After more than seven years, he once again met this eighth-grade Demons Master who had died at his hands once.
Blood Demon Lord, who had just appeared, suddenly heard the two of them, and his eyes narrowed.
It was not strange for someone to recognize him as a Djinling Demons, but …
His eyes, which were like will-o '-the-wisps, stared at Lu Qingshan and said viciously, "You know me?"
Just now, he clearly heard this person call out his title.
"Eighth-grade Djinling Demons." On the other side, Li Qiubai's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "There is such an existence in the Human Territory. Fortunately, I discovered it today. Otherwise, there would be no end of trouble …"
Blood Demon Lord, who was still surprised by Lu Qingshan, did not ask any more questions.
Why ask so many questions? Anyway, he was going to kill them.
Blood Demon Lord thought so.
In the next moment, a black light flashed on his body.
In the black light, his already tall and sturdy body swelled again. He directly expanded to a height of several hundred feet, towering like a small mountain.
Lu Qingshan and Li Qiubai were unbelievably small in front of Blood Demon Lord.
And this was not the end. From within Blood Demon Lord's body, a prehistoric Ferocious Beast like colossal creature slowly emerged.
It was a blood-red Ferocious Beast. Its body was covered with layers of blood-red scales the size of houses. The edges of the scales were as sharp as blades, making people shiver. On its forehead, there was a single horn that was so high it could pierce the sky.
The black horn was entwined with blood-red runes that spread from the horn to the entire body. It was abnormally ferocious.
A pair of huge blood-red eyes, which were extremely cold, looked down on everything in the world.
This was the Djinling Demons' innate Divine Ability — "Djinling."
As Blood Demon Lord used his Divine Ability, the miasma in the Abyss was shaken and suddenly flowed chaotically, as if it could not withstand such power.
The nearby Miasma Beasts also felt this terrifying pressure. They were no longer as ferocious as before, lying on the ground and trembling.
This was the strength of an Eighth-grade Demon Lord, the "God" that once forced half of the players in the server to take down.
But now, everything was different.
Because aside from Lu Qingshan, there was also one of the only three Sword Immortals in the human race, Chang 'an Sword Immortal!
Li Qiubai narrowed his eyes and looked at the Blood Beast that was already pouncing toward him under Blood Demon Lord's control. He snorted with extreme disdain.
The next moment, he stretched out his finger and pointed lightly.
Above Li Qiubai's fingertip, there was suddenly an endless light, and a long rainbow rushed out, heading straight for the Blood Beast.
As soon as the rainbow shot out, it condensed into a long sword in the air.
Although the long sword was condensed from spiritual light, it was as solid as a real object, shining with cold light.
Its speed was so fast that even Divine Consciousness could not detect it.
This sword suddenly slashed at the Blood Beast Djinling in the sky. Sword Qi suddenly rose to the sky, tearing the sky apart and tearing the huge Blood Beast Djinling into pieces, causing it to completely dissipate.
Blood Demon Lord immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although it was not the one that was slashed, the Djinling was destroyed in one move. It also suffered a backlash and suffered heavy injuries.
Li Qiubai's sword attack did not end there.
The long sword continued to slash forward, parting the thick fog and air in the air, forming a huge gully behind the Djinling. Blood Demon Lord, who was like a mountain, was like a Blood Demon Lord.
Blood Demon Lord's expression changed greatly. With a low roar, he attacked with all his strength. Thick black light emitted from his hands, crossing them in front of his chest.
Boom!
The Sword Qi scattered in all directions again, slashing at his thick and strong arms.
There was a violent momentum in the sword light. When it exploded, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.
Blood Demon Lord's blue pupils suddenly dilated.
He only felt that the sword light was incomparably terrifying. It contained a power that was as if the sky was falling, making him feel that he could not block it.
Rip!
The next moment, Blood Demon Lord's incomparably powerful body directly collapsed, and his two thick, pillar-like arms flew up.
Puchi!
In the end, the sword light lightly pierced through Blood Demon Lord, who was like a giant mountain.
The sword Qi that filled the sky exploded.
Blood Demon Lord's body suddenly collapsed.
Lu Qingshan's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Blood Demon Lord, who was also at Level Eight, who once caused all the players in the server to complain incessantly, was not even a match for Li Qiubai.
Level, for a Sword Cultivator, was really nothing.
"Is he dead?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Not yet, I went easy on him. He's only temporarily unconscious from his serious injuries." Li Qiubai narrowed his eyes. "Don't you want to ask for more information? If the other Demonic Cultivators can't provide much information, won't you have to ask him in the end? "
For Li Qiubai, such a ferocious sword strike was actually because he went easy on him?!
Lu Qingshan could not help but think more highly of Li Qiubai in his heart.
"Let's go in and see the situation first." Li Qiubai's eyes flashed slightly, and he said indifferently.
Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement.
As Li Qiubai walked into the area shrouded in Demonic Energy, the thick Demonic Energy evaporated and dissipated into the air with each step he took.
The five Demonic Cultivators who were maintaining the space passage were distracted by the battle outside. Their eyes were already filled with fear, and their faces were incomparably distorted.
Blood Demon Lord was a Level Five Refined Demon Lord, and they were only Level Seven Demonic Cultivators.
Even Blood Demon Lord could not withstand a single blow from this human cultivator, let alone them. They were as weak as a blade of grass.
But they did not choose to escape.
— In front of such an existence, where could they escape to, and how could they escape?
Not long after, Lu Qingshan and Li Qiubai arrived at the core area.
At first sight of the five Demonic Cultivators and the constantly rotating space passage, Lu Qingshan was shocked.
The relationship between the Eight Great Saint Demons of the Abyss had never been very harmonious. It was very strange to see Void Demons in the presence of the Demon Lord of the Giant Spirit Clan.
As for that small and deep space passage, it was even more confusing.
"If you refuse to answer, or answer incorrectly, you will die." Li Qiubai looked at the scene in front of him and realized that things were not simple. His expression was solemn as he said in a low voice.
The five Demonic Cultivators were silent for a few seconds and looked at each other. Finally, one of the Demonic Cultivators in the lead stepped forward and said, "If we answer, can you spare our lives?"
Faced with Li Qiubai's cold gaze, he hurriedly explained in a panic, "We entered the Human Realm because someone asked us to help maintain this space passage. We did not do anything outrageous, and it has nothing to do with Blood Demon Lord."
"Where does this space passage lead to?" Li Qiubai did not answer the Demonic Cultivator's question and asked directly.
The Demonic Cultivator's face turned green and white as he fell into a dilemma. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "It leads to the Tianmen Region."
If it were anyone else, they would not have given up so easily.
But the problem was that they were Void Demons and had nothing to do with the Giant Spirit Demons. They were just people that Xuan Zun invited to help. They were not master and servant to Xuan Zun, and there was no reason for them to risk their lives to protect Xuan Zun's secret.
"Who was this space passage prepared for?" Li Qiubai asked again.
"Xuan Zun." The Demonic Cultivator's expression changed slightly. He was no longer as straightforward as before and hesitated for a moment before answering.
After all, Xuan Zun was still a great deterrent to them.
Xuan Zun!
On the other side, Lu Qingshan's heart was in turmoil.
His trip to the Abyss had given him a deeper understanding of the structure and forces of the various regions in the Abyss.
As one of the Four Venerables of the Giant Spirit Clan, he had naturally heard of Xuan Zun's name.
"Is Xuan Zun in the Human Realm now?" He quickly asked.
"That's right." The Demonic Cultivator in the lead nodded. He found that his answer was getting smoother and smoother, and he felt less burdened.
"Where is he now?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
Once they knew Xuan Zun's location, wouldn't it be like catching a turtle in a jar?
If they could kill Xuan Zun, one of the Four Venerables of the Giant Spirit Clan, in the Human Realm, it would have a great positive effect on the morale of the Human Clan and the war situation.
"I really don't know," the Demonic Cultivator in the lead replied. When he saw Li Qiubai's cold gaze, he trembled all over and quickly explained, "Why would someone like Xuan Zun tell us, outsiders, about his whereabouts?"
Lu Qingshan was silent.
He did not doubt the words of the Demonic Cultivator in the lead.
"How did Xuan Zun enter the Human Realm? Why did he come? Is it because of the bloody massacre of Prince Qing? "Lu Qingshan looked at him calmly and asked again.
The Demonic Cultivator in the lead's pupils suddenly shrank, and he replied with a stiff expression, "We came in through Longcheng Pass. There were Human Clan cultivators of high status in Longcheng Pass who received us, so we did not go through any inspection and successfully entered."
Hearing the Demonic Cultivator's words, Li Qiubai's expression was calm, but at this moment, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Longcheng Pass was the Human Clan's pass in the Middle Heaven Region. It was the pass that guarded the extraterritorial battlefield, equivalent to the Jade Gate Pass in the East Region.
This was the lifeline of the Middle Heaven Region, jointly guarded by the Tianji Temple and the Da Xia Kingdom.
But in such a place, there were cultivators who took the initiative to lead the Demons Venerables into the territory?
This was inviting a wolf into the house, and the seriousness of the matter was beyond imagination.
"As for the purpose of Xuan Zun's visit …" the Demonic Cultivator in the lead continued. He shook his head in horror, "I have no idea at all.
The reason why Xuan Zun brought us into the Human Realm was to let us use our clan's ability to maintain this space passage, so that he could use this passage to return to the Tianmen Region.
We are not clear about other things, and I have never heard of the bloody massacre of Prince Qing that you mentioned, so I don't understand at all. "
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly and could not help but glance at the small space passage behind the Demonic Cultivator in the lead.
At this moment, he finally understood the story behind the "God Slaying War" back then, and also understood what the special mission that the Blood Demon Master was carrying out was mentioned in the event introduction.
Back then, he found it strange that the game plot of Nine Heavens was clearly very logical.
But at that time, the Blood Demon Master was not restrained in any way in the Abyss of Black Abyss, so why was he trapped in the Abyss of Black Abyss?
This was too illogical!
Now that he thought about it, this should be the reason why the Blood Demon Master was trapped in the Abyss of Black Abyss and could not leave.
He was ordered to guard this space passage, and before Xuan Zun returned, he was not allowed to leave.
Because of this, even at the last moment, the Blood Demon Master would rather die than leave the Abyss of Black Abyss.
Everything was to protect this space passage!
