However, how could the master of his generation, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord die so easily? Even though the Demon Moon Spider had the talent in restraining souls, he used a Secret Art to keep himself from being swallowed and assimilated by the other.
However, even so, it could only last for a few days.
And coincidentally, after the Demon Moon Spider returned to its cave, it was killed by Lin Xuan and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The Sky Fiend Demon Lord was overjoyed. He was also trying to treat a dead horse with medicine. His Soul immediately occupied the body of Spirit Beast and used a corpse refining secret technique of the demonic way to temporarily allow the Spirit Beast’s corpse to move.
This was also a kind of deprivation, but the Soul of a human cultivator occupied the body of Spirit Beast. In the history of the Cultivation World, it had not happened before. The Sky Fiend Demon Lord was forced to give it a try. He did not expect it to actually be successful.
But then, he felt discomfort, there was too much Demonic Qi, which then began to reject his Soul.
At this moment, the two cultivators, who were originally thieves, revealed their true faces and wanted to kill them for their treasures. Zhou Liang had already been taken down by them.
The demon lord also thought of a secret technique. Although it was somewhat dangerous, he couldn’t care about it at that time. And merged the Spirit Beast’s corpse with Zhou Liang’s body.
He did not expect it to succeed.
He killed the two cultivators, but Lin Xuan confronted him with the help of a Formation Array.
And although he didn’t want to reveal his whereabouts, he got delayed for a long time. So after the demon king weighed the pros and cons, he decided to withdraw.
But it was already too late, and the two factions of the Righteous and Demonic Dao had already received the news, sending their elites over.
The Sky Fiend Demon Lord had once again embarked on the old way of escaping.
However, although his Spiritual Power was badly damaged, it could be compensated with his intelligence. But he was also in no danger, seeing the cultivators killing each other along the way, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord sneered.
According to his original plans, all he had to do was to quietly escape back to his secret Cave Mansion, take the Heavenly Dust Pill and a few treasures placed inside, and then find a place where no one would come to. After that, he just had to hard for seven or eighty years and when he reached the Nascent Soul stage everything would be done.
When the time comes, he’d come out to take revenge, and with the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage, he’d certainly be able to take care of those savage people who took advantage of him.
The Sky Fiend Demon Lord laughed viciously, but it didn’t take long for him to stop, as his body began to slip out of his control. This made the demon lord’s expression change. After all, it was the strange body of a Spirit Beast and the human cultivator. This situation is quite normal.
What should I do?
It was not a smart choice for the soul to leave the body.
Only after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage could his soul wander around without any scruples. Otherwise, once a cultivator’s soul left the body, it would quickly weaken until it disappeared.
Although the Sky Fiend Demon Lord already had the cultivation base of False Nascent Soul, he still couldn’t break through this restriction.
It was imperative to find another cultivator and take over his body.
Even though it would be simple to talk about, it was actually harder than climbing to the heavens.
After all, possessing a body is an act of Defying the Heavens. The Sky Fiend Demon Lord had a special Cultivation Technique and a strange treasure, but it can only be enacted once, that is to say, once the body was selected, it could no longer be changed.
It must be taken seriously.
First of all, the person’s cultivation base couldn’t be too low. Here’s an analogy, assuming that the Demon Lord’s Soil has seized the body of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. Then although his Spiritual Sense is powerful. But his cultivation base will also fall to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although it could be re-cultivated, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord didn’t have the patience to spend hundreds of years.
If so, then he can just seize the body of a Core Formation Stage cultivator. But Core Formation Stage experts all possessed amazing spiritual powers if his body was not destroyed. The Sky Fiend Demon Lord wouldn’t put in his eyes. But now, finding them is no different from a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth…Unless, the other party didn’t care.
And this was just one matter.
The Demon Lord still wanted to go further and condense a Nascent Soul. If so, then the talent of this person couldn’t be bad. Their Spirit Root attribute must be matched with his Demonic Art.
All kinds of constraints have made it difficult for him to succeed.
He quietly lurked in the dense forest, waiting for his prey. But as time passed, he found no one suitable. The demonic corpse shook violently, rejecting his Soul. In desperation, he decided to find a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ouyang Qin and the Red-eyed Ghost had started a fight and arrived here. Seeing them fight, the demon lord was overjoyed, this Red-eyed Ghost did not only have the cultivation base of the Core Formation Late-stage, but also the Spirit Root of the Metal Attribute. It fit perfectly with the conditions he needed.
He licked his lips and stared at the prey like a poisonous snake.
This was a godsend opportunity. The two of them were fighting intensely and most of their focus was on each other.
Of course, there was still a certain risk with the cultivation base of the Red-eyed Ghost, but it was still worthwhile after weighing the pros and cons.
Moreover, the power of his own Spiritual Sense was far above the other party, he wasn’t very certain, but the chance of success should be at least 80%.
In the following scene, just as Lin Xuan had seen, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s Cultivation technique was very strange. He successfully seized the body of the Red-eyed Ghost, and then chased after them. Although now his Spirit Power was far from being restored to its Peak. it still wasn’t a problem to kill Ouyang Qin and that brat.
In any case, he couldn’t let them leak his whereabouts.
Red-eyed Ghost, no, it should be that the Sky Fiend Demon Lord showed a cruel smile.
After flying for a few minutes, the yellow light suddenly stopped.
The Sky Fiend Demon Lord had a solemn expression, he dived out his Spiritual Sense and searched this area.
Nothing, no, at their own pace, I should have caught up with them long ago, unless… they hid.
After a moment of pondering, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord raised his hand, and he took out his dark green Flying Sword. At the same time, he took a deep breath and his voice traveled away, “Ouyang Qin and that kid, you two thought you could escape this old man’s hands by hiding?”
“Dream on!”
Before he finished his words, he pointed at the Flying Sword, and suddenly the Magic Artifact trembled and buzzed, which then sprouted hundreds of Sword-lights.
“Still aren’t coming out, well, then I will let you taste this Demon Lord’s Heaven Dao Sword!”
Then he stretched out his hand and pressed down.
With a sneer, the Sword lights fell like raindrops, within the radius of a few miles, the Sword Energy landed vertically and horizontally, and the roaring sounds were endless. Under the mighty power of the Demon Lord, the land broke apart and the ground cracked, the whole area was shrouded with dust. It was like the end of the world.
But Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qin were still missing, and the expression on the Sky Fiend Demon Lord became sterner and sterner.
Without saying a word, he flew toward a certain distance, and then continued to bombard with his Sword-light…
After a while.
The Sky Fiend Demon Lord suddenly raised his head, he solemnly looked at the east. Then, as if he had sensed something, he looked in another direction. Unwillingness flashed across his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and turned into a yellow beam of light, disappearing into the distance at an incredible speed.
At this time, a mess of land was blasted ahead. Suddenly, it swayed strangely like waves of water, a man and a woman clung together in a very ambiguous position, slowly popping out of the soil. Above their heads, suspended an antique copper mirror, with a layer of silver light which was emitted from the ancient mirror, covering the two of them.
After stepping out of the ground, the woman immediately pushed the young man away with a crimson face, her expression shy and uncomfortable.
Needless to say, it was Ouyang Qin and Lin Xuan who were chased by the Demon Lord.
The matter was urgent, this Dry Sky Mirror was a powerful ancient treasure. However, the area covered by the protective shield was small. And as a last resort. The two could only hide in a hugging position. Ouyang Qin has never been so close to a man before and was naturally shy.
But in the end, she was an expert in the Core Formation Stage. Soon, her expression returned to normal. She took a look at Lin Xuan, “What pill did you give me just now? It has such a magical effect of concealing Spiritual Qi”
“Hidden Spirit Pill.”
“Hidden Spirit Pill?” Ouyang Qin frowned. “I have never heard of it, but this pill is really amazing. With the powerful Spiritual Sense of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, he still couldn’t find us.”
“This is a medicine pill that I’ve refined myself. It has no use except for energy convergence.”
After listening to Lin Xuan’s explanation, Ouyang Qin was taken aback, and then she was relieved. The other party was the Spirit Pill Mountain’s junior sect master, who was proficient in Alchemy.
Ouyang Qin’s lips opened slightly. She was about to speak when suddenly, she seemed to have sensed something. She raised her head and Lin Xuan almost turned around at the same time, which surprised Ouyang Qin. The other party was only a Foundation Establishment middle-stage cultivator, but his Spiritual Sense was only a bit worse than herself.
There was nothing on the horizon, but after a while, there was a dazzling sword-light. After it fell, the figure of Taibai Sword Immortal appeared.
“Junior sister, are you okay!”
Seeing Ouyang Qin standing there, a look of disappointment flashed in Taibai Sword Immortal’s eyes, but immediately, it was well hidden. He seemingly said in concern, “What happened here?”
Ouyang Qin’s pretty face was cold, and she said, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”
The last time she encountered an assassination by Master Miao, Lin Xuan reminded her to be too careful. But after all, he was of the same sect, and this Senior Brother has always been honest and upright, so Ouyang Qin did not listen, at most, there was a little doubt, but after going through what happened today…
Lin Xuan saw the scene beside him, and could not help but sigh in his heart. This Fairy Ouyang was too straightforward.
“Haha, it seems that junior sister must have misunderstood me,” Taibai Sword Immortal rubbed his nose and was not angry at all. Instead, with a good temper, he explained: “Is junior sister angry because this foolish brother saw your distress signal, but did not come immediately?”
“Oh,”Ouyang Qin was silent.
“Hehe, it’s not that this foolish brother didn’t want to come, but just now, this dumb brother happened to meet a Level-3 High-grade Spirit Beast.” Taibai Sword Immortal said with a smile.
“This is a good excuse, a Level-3 Spirit Beast. Here are the depths of the Kuiyin Mountains and there is nothing strange about meeting such a powerful monster.”
Ouyang Qin’s expression eased.
Lin Xuan was stunned, this fairy..…she must’ve lost her mind. That was a terrible explanation!
He was feeling anxious, but he then heard a pleasant voice in his ears, “Fellow Daoist doesn’t have to worry about me, I’m just acting to keep this guy at bay.”
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Fairy Ouyang was so smart. And also, after experiencing what happened just now, If she still showed great trust in the Taibai Sword Immortal, then it would arouse his suspicion.
Appropriately showing some dissatisfaction, and listening to the other party’s explanation, and then “eliminating” the suspicion, this was natural.
“It turned out that it was this younger sister who misunderstood me.”
“Hehe, it’s nothing, not being able to rescue my junior sister in time, this brother has nearly died of guilt.”Zhang Taibai was indeed slick, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Xuan, and a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes, “This is…”
“This Fellow Daoist is Lin Xuan, the apprentice of Daoist Master Tong Yu, the young master of Spirit Pill Mountain.”
“Oh I see, it’s quite lucky for me to meet you.”
The Taibai Sword Immortal bowed slightly. In You Prefecture, Spirit Pill Mountain is detached, both the Immortal and Demonic Dao cultivators could consume pills, and pills were very important to cultivators. Therefore, although the Taibai Sword Immortal was a senior, he did not put on airs at all.
As for Lin Xuan, he would naturally not reveal the slightest flaw. It was completely an expression of seeing the other party for the first time, and he was very respectful, “I have long admired the prestige of the Taibai Sword Immortal. Today, seeing you is my luck.”
“Haha, Junior Sect Master is polite, you’re so young and already have such achievements, your potential is limitless!”
“Thank you for your praise, there will be plenty for me to learn from you in the future.”
…
Ouyang Qin frowned slightly. She thought that she was clever and cold as her expression could reveal neither joy nor anger. But when seeing Lin Xuan’s acting today, she realized that there were many people outside, and a lot of them were better than her!
However, there was no trace of dissatisfaction, but instead an expression of appreciation. The more he was like this, the further he could go on the road of cultivation.
