The demon race ceremony is about to come, Ling Chen and Nan Xing also came out of seclusion. Nan Xing has already touched the threshold of the Golden Core Stage. If it weren't inconvenient to break through here.

Because he was worried about attracting a thunder calamity, he had already broken through.

"Nanxing, how do you feel about this retreat? Do you have any questions that need your teacher to answer?" Ling Chen's temperament was even more ethereal at this time. It seemed that this retreat had yielded some gains. A breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation was just around the corner.

"Thank you, Master. Everything went smoothly this time. I just need to find a quiet place to overcome the tribulation." Nanxing replied respectfully.

Jiang Jiao: "I know a remote place where almost no one goes. Why don't I take you there? We are now in a foreign land, and there is still some time before the action. It is always good to increase our strength."

Ling Chen: "Okay, let's go together. We will protect you."

The place Jiang Jiao was talking about was a natural stone forest barrier array in the distance. It was a purely natural array, and when Jiang Jiao saw it, she couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of nature.

The demon race is not good at breaking formations.

Entering here is like entering a maze, being trapped and unable to get out. Over time, this place became a forbidden area and no one came in anymore.

The three of them arrived at the place and looked at the towering stone forest, the naturally formed mist, and a spacious, oversized stone platform in the middle.

From the air, it looks like a vortex.

"Let's go to that stone platform." Ling Chen led the way and quickly passed through the magic circle and reached the center.

Ling Chen added some arrangements based on the stone formation.

When you are ready, let Nanxing start.

Nanxing sat cross-legged in the center of the stone platform. Thunderbolts gathered in the air and struck down with terrifying power.

But none of this could stop him. Nanxing was well prepared to accept the baptism of heavenly thunder and temper himself.

After an unknown amount of time, the thunder gradually subsided, and Nanxing finally completed his advancement.

Huh, you have successfully advanced to the Golden Core Stage. Senior Sister, I will always stand in front of you to protect you from harm. Facing the enemy this time, I finally have more confidence.

Nan Xing thought to himself, looking at Jiang Jiao lovingly, but was careful not to be noticed.

"Look, there seems to be a person there. Was he struck by lightning?" Jiang Jiao spotted a figure lying in a place with her sharp eyes.

They all went to check. It was a handsome middle-aged man who was unconscious at this time, but he didn't look like he was struck by lightning.

Jiang Jiao felt that this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

So we decided to take the person back for treatment.

There weren't many people who looked familiar to him. And he didn't look like a bad guy. Saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Suddenly, the reminder sound that I hadn't thought of for a long time started to sound again.

[Trigger the side quest, rescue the unconscious demon king, save the demon race from civil strife, and achieve world peace. ]

Hmm? What? This man is, the demon king? He picked up a demon king as soon as he went out? Is it so magical?

So, who among the three of them has the lucky fish physique? I met the key person as soon as I went out.

But this is not important, saving lives is important.

"What's wrong with you?" Ling Chen noticed that Jiang Jiao was a little dazed. She was distracted again for some reason.

Hearing the master asking her, Jiang Jiao couldn't say that we picked up the demon king, so she put on a professional fake smile: "It's okay, it's okay."

Ling Chen thought to himself, such a fake smile is really ugly... but in the end he didn't say this out loud.

If someone said her little apprentice was really ugly, she would cry, right? Because when Jiang Jiao was a child, once, I forgot why, Ling Chen spoke to her a little harshly.

Jiang Jiao's tears started to fall, and she couldn't stop them. Ling Chen was very worried at that time. How could she cry just like that?

Okay, okay, I won't say that to you anymore, okay? Coaxing a child is probably the most difficult thing for Ling Chen to deal with in his life. It left him with an indelible psychological shadow.

Since that incident, Ling Chen has been very careful about his words to Jiang Jiao, fearing that he might hurt his little apprentice's heart. He only complained silently in his heart.

After bringing the man back to the inn, Ling Chen examined him and concluded that he was poisoned, exhausted, and angry. But the poisoning issue was not easy to explain.

It was a bit tricky. Mainly because I didn't know what kind of poison he had been poisoned with, so I couldn't prescribe the right medicine. In order to help this person detoxify, Ling Chen started to work again.

Jiang Jiao didn't know how to detoxify him, so she had to feed him some Qingxin, Liuli Lily, and Liuli Bag. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a good thing that the man's health improved a little.

But it's just improved, the poison has not been completely detoxified. This matter still depends on Ling Chen.

Cheng Yu slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar environment with several unfamiliar people around him.

He spoke weakly: "Who are you?" These people didn't look like they were from the demon race.

"Don't worry, we have no ill will towards you, otherwise we wouldn't have rescued you.

Tell me, who are you, why did someone poison you, and why did you faint in the stone forest. "

When talking about poisoning, a hint of ferocity and hatred flashed across Cheng Yu's face, which was captured by Ling Chen.

He also looks like a man with a story. Could he be related to the Demon King Ceremony? Judging from his attire, he should be of high status.

"I am the high priest in the palace. I was murdered because I witnessed the persecution of the demon king." Cheng Yu said. He could not completely trust these people.

But now he has no helpers around him, it would be great if they could help pass on a message. When he is safe in the future, he will tell them everything.

Ling Chen had a hunch that this person was lying, but he didn't expose him. This person might be the key to finding the artifact. At present, we only know that the artifact is in the demon clan, as for where it is, we can only explore it by ourselves.

The clothes on this man are all made of the finest robe material. He is in trouble now. If you help him, you can ask him to help you find out the whereabouts of that group of people in the future.

It is much better than looking for a needle in a haystack now.

"You saw the Demon King being persecuted, and then you were poisoned by the person behind the scenes. How did you escape?" Nanxing also didn't believe what this person said.

This person's words were full of loopholes. Could the high priest walk around the palace at will? How could such a thing happen so coincidentally that he accidentally saw the king being murdered?

And they were all poisoned, but they were able to escape. Either they were very powerful, or they were very familiar with the terrain. It was impossible for a high priest to do this.

"I know a secret passage. I managed to escape when they tried to catch me." Cheng Yu thought that it was not easy to fool these people. Most of the people in their demon tribe were simple and kind.

Nan Xing wanted to ask a few more questions, but Jiang Jiao interrupted him.

"This uncle just woke up and is still very weak. Let him rest for a while."

Nan Xing had always disliked this man who had diverted her sister's attention as soon as he appeared. Seeing that he was vague in his words, she wanted to let her sister see this man's face full of lies. But she was interrupted by her sister.

Humph, could it be that Senior Sister likes this kind of mature man? Or maybe I should also consider growing a beard...

Jiang Jiao didn't know that Nanxing was starting to make up stories again. She was still thinking about how to help this handsome middle-aged man without arousing suspicion.
