Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 60: Vientiane, Invited to Eliminate Demons
At this time, Yin Yue was rushing towards Liangzhou with the Four Sages of the Demon Palace and three thousand disciples of the Demon Palace.
But they didn't expect that a sword light would slash towards them directly.
A roar sounded, and the Four Sages of the Demon Palace hurried to resist. When they looked carefully, they saw that it was Jin Guang, the Four Generals of Xuanxin, and a group of Xuanxin orthodox disciples who were blocking the way.
"A sneak attack from behind, is this what you righteous people do?"
The evil dragon glared at the golden light and shouted, "Yes, even the Four Sages of the Demon Palace are not willing to do such a sneak attack from behind."
Jin Guang ignored the evil dragon's anger and his eyes fell on Yin Yue.
"Yin Yue, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Yin Yue also had a gloomy face at this time. These annoying people from the Xuanxin Sect were always like followers. They would follow them wherever they appeared and were always against them.
But now that the Demon Lord’s body is in danger, she has no time to argue with Jin Guang.
“Get out of the way!”
Seeing Yin Yue's appearance, Jin Guang was more certain of his judgment. Something extraordinary must have happened in Black Mountain. Yin Yue was in such a hurry, it didn't seem like he was coming to welcome the Demon Lord. The Demon Star was still there, and the body of the Demon Lord could not cause any big waves. It was very likely that what was happening in Black Mountain was a good thing for them.
Thinking of this, Jin Guang's will became even stronger. In this case, he could not let Yin Yue pass by him.
"Humph, Yin Yue, you brought the demons into Jiuzhou and still want us to get out of the way. That's just wishful thinking. Go ahead!"
Jin Guang was also very decisive. When it came to his hatred of evil, Jin Guang was even more fierce than Yan Chixia, and he would be even more decisive when it came to attacking the Demon Palace.
At the command, Jin Guang took the lead and rushed towards Yin Yue. When the Four Sages of the Demon Palace were about to stop him, they were entangled by the Four Generals of Xuanxin. The three thousand demons were also stuck by the disciples of Xuanxin.
Yin Yue's eyes were gloomy. In fact, Yin Yue's strength was almost the same as that of the Six Paths Saint Lord. However, in that battle, they were ambushed and the Six Paths Saint Lord died. Yin Yue was also seriously injured. She should have recovered after so long, but she was cursed by her sister, the Blue Demon. Now her injuries have lasted for so long and there is no sign of recovery.
The resentment in her body, coupled with the death of her child in the battle in Honghe Village, turned Yin Yue into a resentful woman. If not for this, Yin Yue's resentment would not have accumulated deeper and deeper, and she would not have been possessed by the Moon Demon and become what she is now.
However, after being possessed by the Moon Demon, Yin Yue's strength could no longer be viewed from an ordinary perspective. Although the golden light was strong, it could not gain any advantage against Yin Yue, even though Yin Yue had unhealed injuries.
However, before Yin Yue could make any move, a figure appeared in front of Yin Yue.
Qiye followed behind Yin Yue, and when he saw Jin Guang attacking Yin Yue, he went up without thinking. Qiye was a rare genius, and with the magic power directly infused into him by the background of the Demon Palace, Qiye had now directly entered the level of Hedao realm. With the addition of the magical powers of the Demon Palace, he was not at all inferior to Jin Guang in the fight.
Yin Yue had actually noticed that Qiye had been following her for a long time, but she didn't say much. Now seeing Qiye come out without saying a word to block the golden light for her, Yin Yue couldn't help but have a complicated look. Just because she was possessed by the Moon Demon didn't mean she had no self-awareness. Yin Yue's feelings towards Qiye were very complicated.
In the battle of Honghe Village, Yin Yue's son died in the womb. For the inheritance of the Demon Palace and for future plans, Yin Yue simply took the boy from her seven-life grudge back to the Demon Palace and raised him as her own son. However, she had no affection for Qiye. Over the years, she had been filled with nothing but hatred for Qiye, in order to use Qiye to destroy the world.
However, even though Qiye grew up in such an environment, the kindness in his heart was still there, and it continued to warm Yinyue, making Yinyue feel a little dazed from time to time. Sometimes, she even had the urge to treat Qiye as her own son.
"Demon Lord Qiye, humph, even you have taken action! It seems that this matter is really not a small matter."
In the night sky, the vision of the Demon Star became more obvious, as if it wanted to pour its demonic light onto the human world. Unfortunately, the seal was too strong and it was impossible to do so.
However, the moment the Demon Lord's body was devoured by the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, the strange phenomena on the Demon Star gradually subsided.
Yin Yue sensed something and his expression suddenly changed.
How is that possible!
That was the body of the Demon Lord. Even so many immortals and gods were helpless against it at the time. How could it be destroyed by someone now?
An eighth-grade black lotus!
This was the last message sent from the Demon Star. However, Yin Yue racked his brains but could not figure out where there was any eighth-grade black lotus in this world. At least, no immortal sect’s official treasure was an eighth-grade black lotus.
But now that the Demon Lord's body is gone, there is no need for her to go to Black Mountain anymore.
"withdraw!"
At Yin Yue's order, the Four Sages of the Demon Palace hurriedly retreated. Qi Ye did not entangle with Jin Guang anymore. Xuanxin Sect came here to cause trouble. The two sides have been fighting for so long, and Jin Guang did not expect to be able to take down the Demon Palace by a head-on battle. However, Jin Guang also noticed that the strange phenomenon on the Demon Star had disappeared. Yin Yue's sudden retreat must be related to this.
Jin Guang planned to investigate the matter thoroughly after returning to find out what was going on.
Outside Montenegro.
Jia Le put away the Nine Nether Divine Lotus and walked out slowly. Yan Chixia and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Jia Le who walked out last.
That was the body of the Demon Lord, and they were really afraid that Jiale would accidentally lose himself.
"Brother Sun, have you really solved the problem of the Demon Lord's body?"
Yan Chixia asked carefully, her tone lacking any confidence at all, which made Jiale smile.
"Of course, it's just the body of the Demon Lord. The evil thoughts are gone, and it's not the complete Demon Lord. It won't be difficult to destroy it."
Not difficult!
There is no such word as "pretentious" in this world, but when Jiale said this, Yan Chixia and the other three suddenly felt that Jiale was very impressive. That was a problem that all the gods and immortals had difficulty solving back then, but Jiale solved it just like that and said it was not difficult.
"Fellow Daoist, since you can even destroy the body of the Demon Lord, then can you destroy other demons as well?"
Zen Master Baiyun seemed to remember something, his face changed and he suddenly asked.
Jia Le then looked at Zen Master Baiyun, who was obviously seriously injured. His face was as white as a sheet of paper. He didn't know what was going on in the Baiyun Temple. To put it in a miserable state, they still had a monk in the Hedao realm to hold up the temple, but to put it in a good state, they didn't even have a pill to recover from the injury.
He took out two pills and handed them to Zen Master Baiyun and Yan Chixia. Although it was a coincidence, these two had contributed after all, so he gave them a pill as a reward.
Although Yan Chixia was not as poor as Zen Master Baiyun, the quality of his pills was about the same.
"Of course, the Demon Lord is not a problem, and the other demons are even less of a problem. The demons in Maoshan have all been wiped out."
It really works!
Zen Master Baiyun and Yan Chixia were both stunned. This was a difficult problem that had persisted in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years. How did Jiale solve it? How did he do it?
"Daoyou, you!"
Zen Master Baiyun wanted to ask immediately, but after seeing Jiale's half-smile, he stopped himself. You are not related to me, so why should he tell you?
However, when he thought of this vast world of cultivation and the countless living beings, Zen Master Baiyun couldn't help himself.
"Fellow Daoist, how did you do it? If this method can be popularized, the demons will no longer be a threat."
Jiale couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. He hated monks who had no sense of boundaries.
"Master, do you think this method of exorcising demons can be popularized?"
Zen Master Baiyun paused when he heard this. Although Jiale did not say it explicitly, the answer seemed obvious. And looking at Jiale's attitude, it would be a bit tactless to ask more. However, for the cultivation world, this is good news after all. After it gets out, I'm afraid that all the top immortal sects will invite Jiale to come and exorcise demons.
Yan Chixia's mood was even more complicated. He had led the Xuanxin Sect to fight against the Demon Palace for so many years. In fact, he had always known that as long as the demons were not destroyed, if one Demon Palace was gone, a second one would appear. Now, he suddenly heard that Jiale actually had a way to eliminate the demons, and his mood became even more complicated.
"Brother Sun, on behalf of all the people in the world, I want to thank you."
If it were anyone else, Jiale might have said to him: Why do you represent the people of the world? However, since it is Yan Chixia, there is no problem.
"Alright, take the elixir and heal your wounds. Don't let any more diseases come to you. You have finally restored the Three Lives Fate. If you have to do it again, I don't know if you can still see me."
Yan Chixia also smiled when he heard this, but he was surprised when he was about to take the pill.
“This pill!”
Refining pills has never been an easy task. In the world of cultivation, no matter which sect, as long as they can produce a master of alchemy, they will try every means to support him. Compared with cultivation, alchemy pays more attention to aptitude. Even if one is a genius in cultivation, it is not certain that he can refine a good pill. Take the pill in front of him for example. He is afraid that he can't see many of them in the entire Kunlun Mountains.
After Jin Guang robbed Yan Chixia of his position as the head of the sect, he practiced the Three Lives Destiny, but there was no one to guide him. He had to start anew and embark on the path of cultivation. He needed someone to guide him. Otherwise, he would be muddle-headed and just an ordinary person all his life, and that would be the end of him. However, the only person he could trust at that time was Sima Sanniang.
However, Sima Sanniang's target is too big. Not only is the Demon Palace looking for Sima Sanniang, but even the Xuanxin Sect is also looking for her. It is not suitable for her to show up in the cultivation world at all.
There was no other way, Yan Chixia could only go back to Kunlun Mountain to find someone. Given his relationship with Kunlun Mountain, Kunlun Mountain agreed directly.
Not only him, but also Sima Hongye and Kunlun Mountain were accepted into the sect.
"Don't worry, take it. I made them all."
Yan Chixia was even more amazed when he heard this. He had seen some geniuses, but this was the first time he had seen a genius like Jiale. Not to mention seeing him in person, he had never even seen him in a book.
Yan Chixia didn't bother to argue with Jiale and took the pill directly. Zen Master Baiyun was still a little hesitant at first, but seeing Yan Chixia's behavior, he also took the pill.
His eyes fell on the two little guys behind Yan Chixia and Zen Master Baiyun.
Monk Shifang's cultivation is a little low, he is just at the Qi Refining Stage, but he is a person with a connection with Buddha, and he might be the reincarnation of some Arhat. His luck is so great that he is unique among all the cultivators Jia Le has seen. Monks who are reincarnations of Arhats are generally unreasonable. Don't look at the fact that Monk Shifang is only at the Qi Refining Stage now.
Maybe he will explode in the next moment and be more powerful than his master.
There is also
Although Xuanxin Sect is a force formed by the combination of many immortal sects and independent cultivators after the arrival of the demons, the major shareholder is Kunlun Mountain. Therefore, even now, Xuanxin Sect and Kunlun Mountain are closely connected and inseparable. Although it is Xuanxin Sect that is resisting the Demon Palace, Kunlun Mountain has also put in a lot of effort.
Kunlun Mountain once had a talented disciple named Zhuge Qingtian. At that time, the Six Paths Demon Lord was in charge of the Demon Palace. The Six Paths Demon Lord was a powerful character. When talking about the Six Paths Demon Lord, even the True Good Taoist did not dare to say that he could be his opponent. When he was in power, it can be said that he expanded the power of the Demon Palace to its peak, and he even intended to interfere in Jiuzhou.
However, Jiuzhou is the bottom line of all the major immortal gates. When the Demon King entered Youzhou, he completely stood on the opposite side of all the immortal gates. At that moment, the Demon Palace was not only facing the Xuanxin Sect, but all the immortal gates in the entire cultivation world were involved. In the battle of Honghe Village, Yan Chixia, Sima Sanniang and Xuanxin Sect were just the ones who were pushed to the front, and the ones who really started the calculations were the group of immortal gates.
Otherwise, with the strength of Yan Chixia and Sima Sanniang, they would not be a match for the Six Paths Demon Lord.
The Six Paths Demon Lord is just too arrogant. Perhaps this is a common problem for all talented people. Zhuge Qingtian was sent to the Demon Palace as an undercover agent when the Six Paths Demon Lord was in charge of the Demon Palace. With the guarantee of the Six Paths Demon Lord's good brother Jing Wuyuan, Zhuge Qingtian thrived in the Demon Palace. Kunlun Mountain and other immortal gates were able to grasp the Demon Lord's movements in detail, all thanks to Zhuge Qingtian.
Not only that, Zhuge Qingtian also got Yin Yue's third sister, which made him even more popular in the Demon Palace.
The Zhuge Liuyun in front of him is the son of Zhuge Qingtian and Yin Yue’s third sister - Lan Mo.
His strength is actually higher than Shifang's, and he has already reached the state of spiritual transformation. He should have inherited Zhuge Qingtian's good aptitude for cultivation. Unfortunately, the undercover Zhuge Qingtian did not graduate successfully, and Lan Mo has long since passed away. Zhuge Liuyun is already an orphan. Yan Chixia knows the details, so he brought Zhuge Liuyun with him to teach him.
He also has an older brother, who was born to Zhuge Qingtian and his Taoist partner before Zhuge Qingtian entered the Demon Palace. His name is Zhuge Wuwei and they are one of the seven-life lovers.
"Senior, you are the master of the Yin Yang Vein of Maoshan! I have heard of your reputation. The sword you used just now was simply amazing. Can you teach me?"
Although Zhuge Liuyun is an orphan, he has a very cheerful personality and is not at all annoying.
Zhuge Liuyun has virtues such as kindness, simplicity, and ambition. In the world of cultivation, he is definitely a good male cultivator. Unfortunately, such good male cultivators are generally not liked by female cultivators. He and Sima Hongye have known each other for a long time, and their love for each other can be seen. Unfortunately, there will be no result.
"That's Maoshan's unique skill. If you want to learn it, you have to rejoin Maoshan."
Jiale didn't mind Zhuge Liuyun's half-demon identity. He had good qualifications, and if he was willing to join Maoshan, Jiale would be happy to accept him.
However, given Zhuge Liuyun's personality, he would naturally not agree. Although Shangqing swordsmanship is attractive, leaving Kunlun Mountain is absolutely impossible.
Yan Chixia and Zen Master Baiyun had also recovered some of their injuries at this time, and they would be able to recover slowly after the medicine took effect.
"Brother Sun, where is Hongye?"
Yan Chixia was very sure that Sima Hongye was not dead, but he had also lost track of Sima Hongye and guessed that she might have been hidden by Jiale.
If Yan Chixia hadn’t told him, Jiale would have forgotten it.
The Karma and Society Map was swung, and a figure appeared on the ground. It was Sima Hongye in red clothes and long hair.
"Junior sister! Are you okay?"
Zhuge Liuyun is talented, Sima Hongye is even better, and he also has cheats. Yan Chixia has to practice Three Lives Destiny, so all his cultivation will be scattered. It's such a pity. At that time, Yan Chixia transferred all his skills into Sima Hongye's body. Although it could not directly create a cultivator in the Hedao realm, but as Sima Hongye practiced, all the skills were digested and absorbed.
Sima Hongye has now reached the Spirit Refining Realm, and it has only been the work of the past few years to break through to the Hedao Realm.
"Brother! Uncle!"
Sima Hongye looked at the scene in front of her and was relieved to see that Yan Chixia was fine. For some reason, every time she saw Yan Chixia, she felt particularly close to him.
"Uncle Master! Brother Yan! You don't recognize your own daughter anymore?"
daughter!
Everyone was bewildered, but Yan Chixia's face changed and he had a bitter smile on his face. He had never told Jiale, and he didn't know how Jiale knew about it. He was not ready to recognize him yet. Now that Jiale had done this to him, Yan Chixia was in a state of confusion and was a little at a loss when facing Sima Hongye.
Sima Hongye looked at Jiale, then at Yan Chixia, and recalled what had happened before, seeming to understand something.
"You're my dad!"
Yan Chixia also knew that he had to speak up.
"Hongye, this is what happened..."
Fortunately, Yan Hongye is not the ignorant person, otherwise, Yan Chixia would be in trouble.
"Hongye, this is your Uncle Sun, the leader of the Maoshan Yin-Yang lineage. Didn't you say before that you admired him very much?"
Yan Hongye looked at Jia Le. After Jia Le's deeds spread, not only him, but the entire younger generation in the cultivation world admired Jia Le very much.
"Uncle Sun!"
Yan Hongye actually wanted to ask Jiale if he had seen the Moye Sword, but Yan Hongye was a smart person and ultimately did not ask any more questions. After all, she knew the grade of the Moye Sword. Jiale had already done them a great favor by saving their lives, and asking for the sword again would be a bit ungrateful.
"Brother Sun, will you come with me? My wife wants to meet you after hearing me talk about you. She is a good cook. How about I introduce you to her?"
Jiale did not refuse. Sima Sanniang was an extraordinary woman. In terms of skill, courage, and aptitude, she was no worse than Yan Chixia, or even better. Now that Yan Chixia had spoken, he had nothing else to do, so he might as well go and meet her.
Sima Sanniang has never left Youzhou. When she was fighting against the Six-Path Demon Lord, she was already in the late stage of the Hedao realm. Now she has even reached the peak of the Hedao realm, which is not comparable to an ordinary peak of the Hedao realm. As long as she wants to hide, it will not be easy for either the Xuanxin Sect or the Demon Palace to find her.
boom!
At this moment, a momentum rose from not far away. Jiale looked at it and was also happy. This time he brought Wansheng with him, thinking that if there was a chance to pray to the gods, perhaps he could take the opportunity to let Wansheng break through the Wanxiang Realm. But it turned out that the Black Mountain Old Demon was too useless and could not force him to that step. However, Wansheng was also very powerful. He should have gained some insights from the previous battles, and now he has broken through the Wanxiang Realm with his own strength.
"This is?"
Yan Chixia and the others were also somewhat shocked. They had only heard of the Martial Arts All-Aspects Realm, but had never heard of anyone who could cultivate to this level. Although it was equivalent to the Return to Void Realm for cultivators, ordinary Return to Void Realm cultivators were really no match for the Martial Arts All-Aspects Realm. And now, a Martial Arts All-Aspects Realm cultivator had appeared right under their noses.
"One of my subordinates is called Wansheng, and he has good qualifications."
Yan Chixia shook his head. It was more than good, it was extremely good.
Taking advantage of Wansheng's breakthrough, Jiale searched around the Black Mountain territory and soon found the Yin-Yang passage. Without the Black Mountain old monster covering it, it was not a difficult task for Jiale. However, it was not a complete passage, just a weak point.
That was enough. Jiale planned to build the ascension channel to Uncle Jiu's world after returning to Maoshan. If possible, he would invite the ancestor in the underworld as well. When he was in Uncle Jiu's world, he disturbed the ancestor a lot. He would always ask for support whenever he had something to do. It was estimated that the ancestor had never been so busy in his life.
After taking over the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, they can also be allowed to continue working in the underworld. After all, they are disciples of Maoshan, and the underworld will definitely give them face and properly place them.
Moreover, the Grandmaster's cultivation is not low either. He was at the peak of the Spirit Refining Realm before becoming the Yin God. After entering the underworld, his cultivation has risen even higher. He has enough strength and work experience. He doesn't believe that King Yama will not be tempted.
"Master!"
Wansheng's breakthrough was not surprising. Jiale looked at Wansheng now and nodded involuntarily. With Wansheng's current strength, under the realm of Lianxu Hedao, there are really few rivals for him, especially in close combat, where he can easily be beaten to death by him.
After leaving the Black Mountain area and stepping onto the land of Liangzhou, Sun Zichu soon found out and sent people to greet them.
Only at this time did Yan Chixia and others remember that Jiale was the elder brother of the King of Chu, who now occupied most of Kyushu.
"Brother, you are back, but everything went well!"
After being enlightened by Jiale last time, Sun Zichu has been completely transformed. Although he still has the same attitude in front of Jiale, Jiale's eyesight is so sharp that he can see at a glance that he has already embarked on the path to becoming the Emperor.
"Yes, yes. How is the battle situation in Jizhou?"
Hearing Jiale's words, Sun Zichu quickly responded.
"We have already conquered four of the nine counties in Jizhou. It is only a matter of time before the remaining five counties are gone."
He nodded and said, "I am about to go to Youzhou. How about this? You let Wansheng lead the troops and push all the way north to Youzhou."
Sun Zichu was a little surprised when he heard that. In fact, when attacking Jizhou, the resistance from King Zhao was secondary. The main resistance was caused by the gods, demons and monsters. In short, there were always some factors hindering the army. But if Jiale was in front, these would not be a problem. Sun Zichu did not dare to advance in a large-scale manner to prevent any accidents, but instead advanced cautiously step by step with a grand momentum.
The advantage of this method is that it is stable, but also slow. Sun Zichu was impatient, but there was nothing he could do. The cultivators from Maoshan left after resolving the issues in Liangzhou. The gods of Liangzhou are now under his command, but Sun Zichu was not confident in using them.
"Thank you, brother. Wansheng, I will give you a million troops. Go all the way north. Qingzhou is almost there. After I take Qingzhou, I will go and join you and brother."
“Yes!”
Yan Chixia was a little confused in the back. What did that mean? We are going to take over Youzhou now? He soon understood Jiale's true intention.
Now Jin Guang is the state teacher of Youzhou Tang Kingdom, and Xuanxin Zhengzong is the state religion of Tang Kingdom. If they go there, they might get into trouble. But if the King of Chu conquers Youzhou, then the trouble will no longer exist. Yan Chixia also knows about the power of humanity. The most important thing is that Xuanxin Zhengzong exists because of the Demon Palace.
Yan Chixia doubted whether the Demon Palace could still exist after Jiale arrived in Youzhou. If the Demon Palace was gone, the Xuanxin Sect, a combined immortal sect, would have no meaning to exist. Moreover, with the Xuanxin Sect still there, it would be very difficult for the King of Chu to take over Youzhou. Now that Jiale was here, it would be easy.
Although Jin Guang has some skills, Yan Chixia doesn't think that Jin Guang can survive a single move from Jia Le.
Jiale naturally wouldn't go to Youzhou just to taste Sima Sanniang's cooking skills. The Gan Jiang Sword was in Youzhou, and Jiale went north this time to get it. In addition, the Yinyue Dynasty and the Demon Palace also needed to be resolved. Otherwise, they would always be hidden dangers. It was just right that they were resolved together this time.
Zen Master Baiyun did not go with Jiale. They had already returned to Baiyun Temple. Heiyun was already dead, and Zen Master Baiyun had no hope. He could only go back to develop Baiyun Temple. However, when Jiale went north, the news that Jiale was able to destroy the demons spread. Of course, it was mainly due to the credit of Yan Chixia and Zen Master Baiyun.
Zen Master Baiyun notified Xiao Leiyin Temple, and Yan Chixia notified Kunlun Mountain.
So when Jiale was about to leave for Youzhou, he was stopped by two people.
"Amitabha, fellow Daoist Nengchun, I am Zhengxin from the Little Leiyin Temple. I am honored to meet you."
"Blessings and blessings to the infinite heavenly master, fellow Taoist Nengchun, I am Xuanming from Kunlun Mountain, and I am honored to meet you."
Xiao Leiyin Temple is upright! Kunlun Mountain is mysterious and bright.
Zhengxin is the abbot of Xiao Leiyin Temple, and Xuanming is the master of Kunlun Mountain. They are both at the same level as Taoist Zhenliang. After hearing that Jiale can eliminate the demons and knowing that Jiale has already destroyed the body of the Demon Lord, the two of them could not sit still and hurried to find Jiale, wanting Jiale to help eliminate the demons.
Originally, they had other ideas, such as getting the method to exorcise demons.
But after hearing that it was Jiale who swung the Black Mountain sword, those concerns faded a little. Neither the Little Leiyin Temple nor Kunlun Mountain could withstand the sword of a true immortal. They originally thought that it was the true immortal of Maoshan who chopped the Black Mountain old monster, but now they finally know that it was Nengchun, the master of the Yin and Yang veins of Maoshan, who has recently become quite famous in the cultivation world.
After seeing Jiale, the two of them lost interest in what was happening. At this moment, Jiale's aura was as deep as the ocean, and even they felt that he was dangerous.
"Master Xuanming, why don't you go with me to the Little Leiyin Temple to exorcise the demon first? After we exorcise the demon, how about we go to Kunlun Mountain together?"
