Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 31: Demonic Shadow Appears
There are countless Yuanshilan veins in Zangling, but exploration and development are not easy. So although there are hundreds of families established based on the Yuanshilan veins in the entire Zangling, there are actually still many Yuanshilan veins that have not been discovered and mined.
Deep in a mountain, in a canyon, it was rarely visited by people in the past, but now it is inhabited by a large number of monsters.
Here is such an undiscovered source stone orchid vein.
The rolling deathly air rose up from the mineral veins and lingered around the entire canyon.
A huge number of source monsters gathered here.
Deep in the canyon, there was a figure about two meters tall.
But if you look closely, you will find that the figure is not a real human. His face is covered with yellow scales and his eyes are also yellow. His true identity is obviously a transformed monster.
In front of the strange figure, there was a yellow fist-sized bead suspended, constantly rotating, surrounded by waves of deathly aura.
What was even more bizarre was that bursts of sharp screams and sounds of pain, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, continuously came out from the bead.
One can vaguely see that inside the bead, there are endless soul shadows, whose number is incalculable.
The strange figure spat out a mouthful of blood onto the beads.
Immediately, a blood-red light suddenly appeared inside the bead and crushed towards those soul shadows.
The next moment, the screams and sounds of pain all disappeared, the soul shadow dissipated, and turned into rolling energy, rushing towards the human figure.
The figure took a long breath, and the energy gathered into a small stream and was inhaled through the figure's nostrils.
After a while, all the energy was absorbed and refined, and the aura of the figure became much stronger out of thin air.
At this time, a gray-robed man walked out from the shadows and came to the figure respectfully, "Master Yaozi, we have a large number of source monsters under our command. When they were extracting souls from living beings for you, they were slaughtered by the cultivators of the Qiu family."
"Qiu family?" The demon with scales on his face had a ferocious and ugly expression, and his voice was even more ferocious. "Isn't the highest level in the Qiu family a Nascent Soul cultivator? They shouldn't have this ability."
The gray-robed man did not dare to hide it. "The Qiu family does not have this ability, but he is backed by the Sword Sect. This time there happened to be two Sword Sect disciples in the Qiu family, so..."
Lord Yaozi's eyes fell on the gray-robed man, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The Sword Sect... they are not easy to mess with. Well, let's just forget about it and don't even think about attacking the Sword Sect disciples. There are only two of them anyway, and they can't stop so many of my men. After we have captured the souls of this batch of creatures, we will return to the source, and I don't think they can do anything to me."
"How's the arrangement going on your side?" Yaozi retracted his gaze and questioned.
A haze flashed across the gray robe man's eyes, but his expression was still extremely respectful. "It has been arranged long ago. There are already dormant source monsters in the Hundred Source Stone Orchid veins that are capable of destroying the family to which the veins belong. Just waiting for your order, these source monsters will come out in full force, bloodbath the Burial Ridge, and collect enough souls for you. When you have harvested the souls of these creatures, you will escape back to the source. The emperor is far away, and no matter how angry the human race is, they can't do anything to you."
"Not bad," Yaozi nodded with satisfaction and praised: "This plan was proposed by you. If it goes well in the end, I will credit you with a credit. Your request to introduce you to the Source Demon King is not impossible."
When the gray-robed man heard this, he immediately showed an expression of ecstasy on his face, "Thank you, Master Yaozi."
"Go back." Lord Yaozi waved his hand.
The man in gray robe bowed respectfully and retreated silently.
Seeing the gray-robed man leave, Lord Yaozi turned around and walked inside.
In the endless deathly aura of the underworld, an abrupt black shadow emerged.
Slowly, the full picture of the black shadow became clear.
It was a huge source monster that looked like a sculpture, like a lion, covered with yellow scales, with the scale patterns clearly visible.
At this moment, it was looking down at Lord Yaozi. Its yellow eyes were bright and seemed to have a strange power to penetrate people's hearts, but its pupils seemed to be out of focus and lifeless.
This is a huge monster with an aura that is terrifying.
Lord Yaozi seemed extremely small when standing in front of this source monster.
But Lord Yaozi didn't care at all.
Because this huge source monster is called the Source Lion, it is his guardian and must obey his orders.
The next moment, Yuanshi lowered his head meekly under the gaze of Lord Yaozi.
Lord Yaozi reached out his hand and stroked the huge head of the Source Lion, revealing an extremely arrogant smile.
"If everything goes well this time, I will definitely be able to advance to the fifth level by refining the power of so many souls in Zangling," Lord Yaozi murmured, "I just don't know why my father forbids me to use such a powerful magical power. What will happen even if I kill all the humans in Zangling? Fortunately, these underworld monks came to me and helped me implement the massacre plan of Zangling while my father was in seclusion. However, they still want to see my father through me? Dream on!"
Lord Yaozi couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
Naturally, he could see the ill intentions of these monks from the underworld.
However, from the beginning to the end he was only using these monks from the underworld to achieve his own goals. Once the goals were achieved, he was ready to turn against them.
On the other side, the gray-robed man retreated respectfully, but after leaving the canyon, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.
"You think you can credit us for your contribution? Who do you think you are? And you even introduced the Origin Demon King. Do you really think I don't know that you are fooling me? Do you think I can't see through the thoughts of a demon kid? You are too naive to play tricks on me. You think you are using us, but you don't know that we have bigger plans. This time, I will make sure you leave the Origin alive, but not return alive!"
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across the gray-robed man's eyes.
As the Lord of Jiuyou Palace, if he can't defeat a pampered demon boy with his tricks, then his position as Lord of the Palace would be in vain.
…
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan were constantly looking through the detailed information provided by the Qiu family, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"What happened?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
The next moment, Qiu Changqing rushed in, looking anxious, "Sir, there is a new situation."
"Speak!" Ji Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Another source monster has started a riot and is now causing trouble for the Song family in Yanglou Town," Qiu Changqing said solemnly, "I have already mobilized the people in the clan and are preparing to go to Yanglou Town to help the Song family and kill the source monster."
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan looked at each other and both understood each other's intentions.
"The situation is urgent, and we should act without delay. My junior brother and I will set out to support Yanglou Town," Ji Chuan said, "Master Qiu, we will not accompany you for now. If we are late for a moment, I am afraid that countless mortals will be killed by the source monster."
"It's my duty. Killing the demon is the most important thing." said the head of the Qiu family.
"Let's go." A flying sword appeared under the feet of Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan respectively, and they quickly broke through the air and flew away.
Watching the two people leaving, Qiu Changqing sighed, "The disciples of the Sword Sect are still very righteous."
He could naturally see that Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan truly cared about the lives of these mortals and were truly concerned about this matter, rather than just treating it as an ordinary sect mission.
"It is indeed a blessing for our Qiu family to have the Sword Sect behind us!" Qiu Changqing said silently, and then hurriedly organized and dispatched the cultivators in the clan, preparing to follow closely and assist Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan in resolving this disaster for the Song family.
The moment Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan left, Qiu Shiyin, who was lying on the bed and resting, seemed to feel something. She suddenly stood up and left the Qiu family quietly.
…
call!
Two sword lights whizzed across the sky.
Ji Chuan's cultivation is far superior to Lu Qingshan's, so his sword-controlling speed is also far beyond Lu Qingshan's reach.
"Junior brother, I'll go ahead."
The situation was urgent. Ji Chuan knew that any delay would result in more deaths in Yanglou Town, so he didn't even have time to wait for Lu Qingshan.
"Brother, go ahead and don't worry," Lu Qingshan naturally had no objection, "I'll be there soon."
Immediately, Ji Chuan slightly increased his speed, and with the sound of a sonic boom, he turned into a stream of light, as fast as thunder, and quickly left Lu Qingshan behind and disappeared from his sight.
