Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron
Chapter 38: Faking Death and Reincarnation
Following the direction indicated by Ji Xian, everyone came to a mysterious cliff.
This place is called Hufeng Cliff, located in the suburbs southwest of Kyoto. Due to the frequent occurrence of large insects eating people at the foot of the mountain, the villagers who originally lived there have moved away.
This place became a deserted place.
The white-robed monks threw Ji Xian to the ground and said, "Now that we've arrived, lead the way."
Ji Xian said slowly, "Don't worry, everyone. The Demon Lord is still in seclusion and naturally can't show up immediately. Why not let my daughter use the secret magic to summon him first to lower his vigilance?"
"Don't try any tricks, your life is in our hands."
The leading white-robed monk warned.
Ji Xian bowed slightly, emitting spiritual power on the spot, trying to contact the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord.
Lu Yuguan watched Ji Xian's actions and approached Master Zhang to ask, "Master, who is this Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord? How could he be so easily surrounded and attacked by so many people?"
Immortal Master Zhang looked at the scene with a solemn expression. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Venerable was a peerless genius from a major sect in the Western Regions hundreds of years ago. His cultivation techniques were extremely ruthless. Before he fell into the devilish path, he even massacred an entire sect, attracting the righteous cultivators to attack him."
"However, this person is powerful and cruel, and repeated encirclement and suppression efforts have failed to completely eradicate him."
"Back then, he came to Longhua Country to steal the royal spiritual weapon, but was driven away by many Xuanyu Sect cultivators."
"I originally thought he had long since left Longhua Country, but I didn't expect he was still cultivating in seclusion within Longhua Country, and even trained his own subordinates."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuguan couldn't help but gasp, secretly marveling at the power of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord. He turned to look at Ji Xian, only to see her closing her eyes in concentration, her hands constantly forming seals, clearly trying her best to connect with the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord.
The white-robed monks around were also nervous and on high alert, fearing that Ji Xian would cheat or that the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord would suddenly appear.
At that moment, a chilling gust of wind suddenly blew up from the Hufeng Cliff, accompanied by a low roar, as if a giant beast was lurking in the shadows, ready to strike. Ji Xian's eyes snapped open, a sly look flashing across them. Then, half of his body swung, and his mutilated lower body was lifted up by a gust of dark wind. Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he fled towards the cliff edge.
"Oh no! She's trying to escape!" The leading white monk saw this and immediately shouted, chasing after her like lightning. The other white monks also reacted and used their skills to follow closely behind.
Although Lu Yuguan's cultivation level was not high, he and Zhang Luocheng followed closely behind the crowd and chased towards the edge of the cliff.
"My fellow masters, that female demon cultivator is very cunning, please be careful!"
Pan Yin, who had transformed into a python, was now even more terrifying than the demon cultivator. He stretched out his sharp claws and spoke to the white-robed cultivators.
The white-robed monks nodded in agreement, and one of them even turned back to remind Zhang Luocheng to be careful. After all, he and Lu Yuguan were the lowest in cultivation.
Zhang Luocheng nodded, and the flying sword in his hand shone brightly, and its speed increased sharply, almost keeping pace with those white-robed monks.
"Yuguan, follow me closely and don't fall behind."
At the edge of the Hufeng Cliff, the wind howled and dark clouds gathered, as if even the heavens and the earth had changed color. A thick fog rose from the cliffside for no apparent reason, and Ji Xian's figure was barely visible in the mist. However, she seemed to be extremely familiar with the terrain, and she narrowly avoided the pursuit of the white-robed monk several times.
"Hurry, she's going that way!" A monk in white shouted, pointing ahead. Everyone immediately adjusted their direction and continued to chase after her.
Lu Yuguan followed Zhang Luocheng, feeling anxious. He didn't know if he was afraid of an unknown crisis or Ji Xian being caught.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly, and an ominous premonition arose.
"Master, be careful!" Lu Yuguan warned loudly, but it was too late.
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the ground, and a dark demonic energy surged out, instantly sucking in several white-robed monks who were close to it.
There were bursts of shrill screams coming from the evil spirit, which made people shudder.
"It's a trap set by the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord!"
Zhang Luocheng's face changed drastically. He pulled Lu Yuguan behind him and quickly summoned his flying sword to resist the invasion of evil spirits.
"Everyone, form a defensive formation!" The leading white-robed monk shouted loudly, and the other monks quickly gathered together, each using their magic weapons to form an indestructible defensive circle.
However, the demonic energy was too powerful, and even if they joined forces, they seemed somewhat powerless. Lu Yuguan stood behind Zhang Luocheng, watching the demonic energy swirling in front of him, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, a clear bell sound suddenly rang out, penetrating the clamor of demonic energy and striking the heart. Lu Yuguan turned his head and saw that the leading white-robed monk was holding a string of ancient bells in his hand and was slowly shaking them.
"Pure Heart Bell?" Zhang Luocheng was momentarily stunned, then a look of delight crossed his face. This Pure Heart Bell was one of the magical weapons of Du Yuansheng, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. It had the power to purify the soul and ward off evil spirits. It was the key to breaking the impasse right now.
As the bells continued to ring, the screams within the demonic energy gradually weakened, and the demonic energy began to slowly dissipate. Seeing this, the white-robed monks intensified their offensive, attempting to break through the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord's trap in one fell swoop.
With everyone's combined efforts, the trap was finally broken, and a figure escaped from the demonic energy in a panic. It was none other than Ji Xian. She was now covered in wounds, having clearly suffered severe injuries in the trap.
"Where is the Demon Lord?" the leading white-robed monk shouted sternly.
Ji Xian smiled miserably, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said with his dying breath: "The Demon Lord... The Demon Lord has already escaped... You... will never catch him..."
As Ji Xian fell, the fog dissipated and Hufeng Cliff returned to peace again.
"This cunning demon cultivator is truly despicable!"
Lu Yuguan looked at Ji Xian's gradually dimming eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
He didn't expect that the female demon cultivator who had communicated with him for several days would end up like this.
He turned to look at Zhang Luocheng, only to see that Master Zhang had a frown on his face, and was obviously half-believing and half-doubting Ji Xian's words.
"Master, what should we do now?" Lu Yuguan asked.
Zhang Luocheng pondered for a moment and said, "Although Ji Xian said that the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord has escaped, we can't let our guard down. The terrain of Hufeng Cliff is complex and filled with demonic energy. There's no guarantee that there aren't other traps or ambushes. Let's continue our search."
"After such a long time, you are still as cautious as before." The leading white monk showed an admiring expression, but Pan Yin beside him did not give him such a good look.
Zhang Luocheng nodded slightly without saying anything. Lu Yuguan looked at Zhang Luocheng's face, which was very calm.
The leading white-robed monk suggested that everyone act separately. No one objected, but Lu Yuguan still followed closely behind Zhang Luocheng.
As the search deepened, the fog on Hufeng Cliff grew thicker, and visibility was extremely low. Lu Yuguan had to follow Zhang Luocheng more carefully, fearing that he would get lost if he was not careful.
At this moment, the sound of metal grinding was heard, as if someone was fighting.
"What's that sound?" Lu Yuguan asked in a low voice.
Zhang Luocheng also stopped and listened carefully.
After a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he said, "Follow me!"
As he spoke, he moved and quickly chased in the direction of the ringing sound. Seeing this, Lu Yuguan hurried to catch up.
The two men passed through layers of fog and finally arrived at a hidden cave. At the entrance of the cave hung a rusty sign with the three characters "Ten Thousand Demons Cave" engraved on it.
"Is this the hiding place of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord?" Lu Yuguan asked in surprise.
Zhang Luocheng nodded and said, "It's very likely. We have to go in carefully and see if there are any clues inside."
The two cautiously entered the cave, only to find it dark and deep, covered in strange totems and runes. The air was thick with demonic energy, which made people feel a chill.
However, as the sound just heard got closer, after a few turns, I saw many Dragon Guards tying up many demon cultivators and throwing them aside like garbage.
"General Chen!" Zhang Luocheng was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Zizai had successfully found the base of the demon cultivators and captured them all in one fell swoop.
"General, someone is calling you!"
Chen Zizai, rabid with killing intent, had just pulled his sword free from a demon cultivator who preferred death to surrender when he heard his subordinates shouting. He looked in the direction of Zhang Luocheng and was also surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why are you here?" Chen Zizai glanced at Lu Yuguan behind him. "This must be the third son of the Bai family, right? Has that demon Taoist been dealt with?"
Zhang Luocheng smiled and said, "The Xuanyu Sect's Law Enforcement Hall has personally come out and has taken that demon cultivator disciple under control. Fortunately, this kid is fine, otherwise I would have fought to the death with that demon cultivator." After saying that, he reached out and touched the back of Lu Yuguan's head.
Chen Zizai looked at the harmonious master and disciple and said no more. He just pointed his finger at Zhao Zimo who was fighting with the remaining demon cultivators not far away.
"Kid, I don't know what kind of magic potion you fed Prince Xin Zhao. Even though he was injured, he still insisted on joining the team to eliminate the demon cultivators, saying that he wanted to avenge you."
Lu Yuguan looked at Zhao Zimo's figure, and he was still wielding a pair of giant axes in a handsome and awe-inspiring manner, looking really majestic.
"Zhao Zimo—Zhao Zimo—"
Lu Yuguan was jogging and waving at Zhao Zimo. The other party soon noticed him, was stunned at first, then suddenly lost control of his emotions, rushed up and hugged Lu Yuguan tightly.
"What are you doing, let me go...quickly, I can't breathe..." Lu Yuguan felt the fierce hot breath from the man beside his earlobe. Zhao Zimo pounced on him like a big golden retriever, and he couldn't push him away no matter what.
Zhao Zimo said tremblingly: "You made me very worried."
"What are you worried about? I'm fine - let me go first and then talk!" Lu Yuguan said speechlessly.
"No," Zhao Zimo hugged Lu Yuguan tightly, as if he wanted to rub him into his body, "I thought I would never see you again. So much has happened in the past few days, and you have suffered."
Lu Yuguan's face was almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
Brother, you don’t have to be so enthusiastic about caring about me, right?
If people didn’t know, they would think we were playing father and son.
Zhao Zimo held her for a while, then finally let go. He looked at Lu Yuguan's face and said seriously, "Yuguan, I promise that as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
He seemed to have thought of something and pulled out a half-dead bone dog from behind him. The whole dog was loose and looked like it was about to fall apart.
Lu Yuguan's eyes widened: "What the hell is this?"
hiss……
Hey...you know what, it seems like I've seen you somewhere before?
Zhao Zimo shook the bone dog hard, and after it woke up, it finally started barking again.
"Let me go! Once I, the Bone Demon, escape, I won't let you off easily! ... Eh? Am I home?" The Bone Demon flapped its legs, looking ridiculous. He looked at his familiar surroundings, about to let out a cry of rebirth, when he suddenly saw many bound demon cultivators.
Totally spicy!
My home was stolen!
"Thanks to this bone-withered demon, we were able to find this place." Zhao Zimo said.
The Bone Demon immediately retorted, "Impossible! I didn't say a word!"
"Do you know that you talk in your sleep?" Zhao Zimo said softly.
Bone Demon:?
The four bony legs drooped instantly and could no longer stand up.
Zhao Zimo placed it between the two of them and said to Lu Yuguan, "This Bone Demon is useless now, but I think you should vent your anger, so I'll spare his life for now."
Lu Yuguan looked at the bone-bone demon, which looked like a toy building block, and found it quite novel. However, he didn't know how to vent his anger. Could it be something like "reach out and grab it" or "refined it in an instant"?
Seeing that Lu Yuguan didn't say anything, Zhao Zimo felt a little sad.
He didn't know how to please the person in front of him. As the princess he had chosen, she had no way to deal with him.
"This guy has been doing evil things in Red Street before. Let's leave it to General Chen to deal with." Lu Yuguan looked at him and said.
Zhao Zimo smiled and agreed.
This time, the demon cultivators' stronghold was wiped out. Although the biggest demon, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord, was captured, at least more than half of the demon cultivators among the Twelve Earth Demons were eliminated, and there were also many small demon cultivator minions.
The white-robed monks of Xuanyu Sect rushed over immediately, greeted General Chen Zizai, and then took Pan Yin back to Xuanyu Sect.
The remaining demon cultivators who surrendered at Hufeng Cliff were all taken back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. The emperor ordered that the whereabouts of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord must be found out.
Lu Yuguan also returned to Kyoto with the Dragon Guards. Bai Zheng had not seen his children for many days and was already very worried.
Hufeng Cliff returned to its tranquility again, and no one noticed that Ji Xian's half-body was shaking again.
As time passed, in just a few hours, a brand new and intact body appeared on the cliff, but it was no longer an adult woman, but a beautiful little girl.
"Hmph, you hypocrite from the Xuanyu Sect. Luckily I kept something in reserve."
The original size of the clothes was too big, and Ji Xian, with her small body, could only walk on Hufeng Cliff dragging the clothes.
The Youba Demon Body is a congenital demon species. A demon cultivator with this kind of physique, as long as his blood is not drained, will have the opportunity to re-condense his body and reshape a new self by sacrificing his spiritual power.
"Those old guys probably never thought that the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons here is fake, right?" Ji Xian returned to the cave and looked at the totems and runes on the stone wall. With a thought, a huge magic circle lit up under his feet.
"Li Chanle, just wait for me. I will get back the debt you owe me sooner or later!"
Ji Xian smiled coldly, stepped into the magic circle, and disappeared in an instant.
