Chapter 277: Confrontation with the Demons
Not long after, a Feiyun Boat came towards this side from a distance and soon approached the side of the Feiyun Boat of the Xuanjian Sect.
Chen Li turned around and flew away, stood steadily in a certain position, and then continued to rest quietly.
For him, he just needs to rest quietly in this place, and there is no need to worry about so many things.
It should be impossible for other demons to come over next. After all, so many demons have been killed. If they still dare to come, wouldn’t they be courting death?
Just as Chen Li had thought, after clearing out the demons just now, no other demons came.
After another day, they finally landed in a direction far away from Square City.
"The next step is to gather your spiritual energy and go meet up with Elder Zhou from Lingxiao Sect. Remember not to alert the enemy." Chen Li looked at everyone and said very seriously.
If they continued to use the Feiyun Boat, they would definitely be discovered. At this distance, Chen Li had already used spiritual energy to seal the surroundings, so even the Yuanying stage demons in Square City would not be able to discover them.
Everyone nodded, and followed the method Chen Li said, and quickly left here. They did not dare to leave Chen Li too far away, only in this way could they be accurately protected by the spiritual energy.
After arriving near Square City, Chen Li glanced at the situation nearby and then slowly stopped his actions.
"It looks like there's going to be some trouble." Chen Li stared at the corpses at his feet and said with a frown.
These corpses were all from the demon clan, and they had only been dead for a few days. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Pingfeng must have been discovered, so these demons were killed.
He looked towards the Square City not far away. There were many demons patrolling around. The demonic energy was so overwhelming that it made people panic.
"Was it Elder Zhou who did it?" Xiao Yuan walked to Chen Li and asked him.
Chen Li shook his head. “I’m not sure about this, but he should be the only one who came here.”
Although it was most likely done by Zhou Pingfeng, he could not rule out the possibility that someone else came here.
At this time, Chen Li slowly expanded his spiritual sense, trying to find other traces, but found a figure coming towards him quickly.
When he felt this breath, Xiao Yuan immediately prepared to fight, but was stopped by Chen Li.
Because when this figure appeared in their sight, he did not show any murderous intent.
"It seems that you have arrived on time." Zhou Pingfeng spoke after seeing Chen Li and Xiao Yuan.
Zhou Pingfeng's aura was not stable, and it seemed that he had just experienced a large-scale battle.
"Elder Zhou, you look like you've been through something." Chen Li walked up to Zhou Pingfeng and asked.
Zhou Pingfeng nodded. "Well, after coming here, I originally planned to investigate the area, but I didn't expect to be discovered by those two guys and had a fight with them."
Everyone gasped. Zhou Pingfeng was actually fighting against two Nascent Soul stage demons of the same level alone?
Judging from his appearance, he was only slightly injured and did not suffer any fatal blow, which was surprising.
After Chen Li took a look at Zhou Pingfeng's condition, he slowly said, "So, how strong are they?"
"It's hard to say, because their purpose seems to be simply to force me back, and they don't want to kill me." Zhou Pingfeng said.
They simply forced Zhou Pingfeng to retreat without killing him, which meant that the two demons had no intention of using all their strength.
Chen Li touched his chin and thought for a moment, then seemed to understand something. "If nothing unexpected happens, they are most likely planning something. Maybe they are trying to maintain their strength and summon a strong person."
This sentence made Zhou Pingfeng's face pause, and then he looked at Chen Li in astonishment, "You mean, they plan to summon a late Nascent Soul expert?"
"We can't rule out this possibility." Chen Li replied, and then looked at the corpses not far away, "Did you do that to the corpses?"
Zhou Pingfeng shook his head. " I didn't do this. I died in Square City."
When he first came here, he found that there were many corpses of demons here. He thought that other people had come here first, but he found that many demons in Square City were dragging corpses here for disposal.
It’s called disposal, but in fact they are just thrown here and then left alone, as if they were discarding some garbage.
"It seems that we have to deal with this matter as soon as possible. If we continue to delay, I guess we won't have a chance of winning." Chen Li said to Zhou Pingfeng.
Zhou Pingfeng nodded, "But you still have to wait until I recover."
If he tried to deal with those guys in this state, he would only be at a disadvantage, and he didn't like being suppressed like this.
Chen Li nodded. They were not in a hurry now. It would not be too late to take action after Zhou Pingfeng fully recovered.
After Zhou Pingfeng glanced around, he sat cross-legged and began to recover his energy and injuries.
Others began to be alert. They didn't know when these demons would come out, so the most important thing to do was to look around.
Zhou Pingfeng's recovery speed was not slow, but seeing the pain on his face, Chen Li found it a little strange.
Could it be that something was corroding his body? If that was the case, I was afraid I would have to wait even longer.
At this time, Zhou Pingfeng slowly opened his eyes, stood up and said to everyone, "It's all right. What should we do next?"
Chen Li looked at Zhou Pingfeng's condition with a look of surprise on his face, because he had never expected that Zhou Pingfeng would recover so quickly.
"In that case, let's sneak in directly later, and the other disciples will stay on standby nearby. When the battle starts, let them attack from a distance." Chen Li said to Zhou Pingfeng.
Zhou Pingfeng nodded. Now there were only two of them who could do such a thing. If they really confronted them head-on, these people would end up in a miserable state.
After the two looked at each other, they disappeared from this place. Xiao Yuan put his hands behind his back and began to slowly condense spiritual energy.
After Chen Li and the others start to act, they must act as quickly as possible, otherwise they will not be able to help Chen Li and the others.
"Elder Xiao, what should we do later?" Yun Yi walked to Xiao Yuan and asked.
Xiao Yuan said calmly: "When the battle starts, don't worry about anything else, just attack indiscriminately."
"But if that's the case, wouldn't Chen Li and the others be hurt?" Yun Yi was still a little wary of this matter.
Xiao Yuan's mouth corners slowly rose, looking at Yun Yi, and said very bluntly, "Do you think that with your cultivation level, you can cause them harm?"
Chen Li and Zhou Pingfeng are both cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. I am afraid that even if a group of cultivators in the Golden Core stage self-destruct, they will not be able to cause any harm to them.
Yun Yi came back to his senses at this time. He almost forgot that Chen Li and the others' cultivation was much stronger than his.
It seems there is no need to worry so much, just focus on attacking.
On Chen Li's side, he and Zhou Pingfeng had already invaded into Square City. Because of their concealed aura, the demons here did not discover them.
But the situation in the city was truly horrific. A large number of corpses were lying on the ground, their blood had long since dried up, and the air was filled with a strong stench of decay.
These corpses no longer resemble human forms. I'm afraid they must have suffered inhumane torture while alive.
Chen Li didn't have any feelings towards these corpses. After all, these people had nothing to do with him. Should he waste his mood because of them?
"See the biggest palace over there? The two demons in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul are inside." Zhou Pingfeng pointed to the palace in the front and said to Chen Li.
Chen Li nodded without saying anything else, and then flew over there at an extremely fast speed.
In just a moment, Chen Li already felt a discordant atmosphere, as if something around him was staring at him.
He quickly raised his head and looked at a figure in front of the palace. He couldn't help but frowned: "I really didn't expect that there would be a formation set up in this place."
They had just stepped into the formation, so they were discovered. However, Chen Li was a little confused as to why the formation was so hidden that he didn't notice it with his own perception.
A demon dressed in human clothes walked slowly towards them. He did not look very big. Compared with ordinary demons, he was almost very short.
But he exuded a sharp aura and held a scimitar in his hand, looking extremely dangerous.
Chen Li frowned. It seemed that this was one of the demons in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. In that case, he would get rid of him first.
"Let's go together and kill him before the other guy comes out." Chen Li said to Zhou Pingfeng beside him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Li suddenly felt an unprecedented danger. Zhou Pingfeng actually slapped him.
Fortunately, Chen Li reacted quickly and barely avoided Zhou Pingfeng's attack. "What do you mean?"
"What? Do you really think he is on your side?" The demon Youyun holding a scimitar looked at Chen Li with a cruel smile on his face.
Chen Li frowned, and this time he finally understood. It seemed that Zhou Pingfeng had betrayed the human race and joined the demon camp.
I have to say, they really have good means. They were able to turn Zhou Pingfeng against the government so easily.
"You can even win over the third elder of Lingxiao Sect. It seems that your methods are really powerful." Chen Li looked at Youyun and said coldly.
You Yun laughed, stared at Chen Li and said, "The conditions we offer are naturally irresistible to him, such as advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage."
The corners of Chen Li's mouth twitched. He really dared to say anything. "You haven't even reached the late Nascent Soul stage, yet you dare to promise such conditions. There must be a limit to wishful thinking."
"Of course we can't do it now, but we will definitely be able to do it in the future. After all, the Nascent Soul Demons that invaded your major sects in the past few days had their cultivation levels improved by us." Youyun looked at Chen Li and said to him.
Chen Li frowned. No wonder the number of demons in the Nascent Soul stage has been increasing recently. It seems that they are all responsible.
Seeing that Chen Li didn't say anything, You Yun spoke again, "How about you join us? As long as you are willing to become a member of our demon army, I can not only give you the same status as me, but also let you reach the late Nascent Soul stage."
I'm afraid no one can refuse such generous conditions. It kills both strength and power at the same time, and everyone will be tempted.
"After all, I don't need these things. All I want is your life." Chen Li looked at Youyun and said coldly.
You Yun frowned, "I have said all the good things I could, but you just won't listen, right? Elder Zhou, please start now."
Zhou Pingfeng stared at Chen Li, and with a wave of his right hand, a spear instantly appeared in his hand. "Chen Li, I'm sorry, for my plan, you can only die here now."
