My filial piety will never change

It shouldn’t be related to the master and the others.

To be on the safe side, he flew towards the fluctuation point.

A moment later, more than a dozen people appeared in front, both men and women, divided into two groups fighting in a melee, their cultivation levels ranging from the first to the fourth level of Yuhua.

This is not a holy land, and the immortal monks are generally high-ranking officials of major forces.

Now, because of the involvement of Yin Yang Valley and the Holy Land, the major forces will basically not engage in a melee of this level. There must be something fishy going on.

It was not until he saw one of the groups of people performing evil black magic from outside the domain that Zhao Yuchen suddenly realized that one of the groups was actually demons from outside the domain!

If it was an ordinary power struggle, Zhao Yuchen would not intervene, but since it was a demon from outside the domain, how could he remain indifferent.

The cultivators from the Yuxuan Continent were beaten back step by step, and several of them were seriously injured.

The demons from outside the domain took advantage of the victory and pursued them. Seven or eight of them joined forces to set up a large formation, surrounding the monks from the mainland with the intention of strangling them all.

huh~

The Jade Lady's Sword broke through the air, breaking the formation directly. All the demons from outside the domain were shocked and vomited blood, falling from the sky like flies that were electrocuted.

The sword energy split again, trapping a group of foreign demons in the sword formation, waiting for their fate.

"Thank you for your help, Master! I am Ximang, the manager of the Huawu Gang, and these are my fellow disciples and allies. May I know your name?"

The leading python was a middle-aged man, thin and with a python pattern on his forehead, exactly like his name.

Zhao Yuchen stepped forward and revealed his true face: "Huawu Gang, what a fate. I once had a friendship with your Great Elder Yue Shan during the Continental Summit."

The thin python looked at Zhao Yuchen, his eyes gradually widening, "Could it be that you are Zhao Yuchen, the young master of Yin Yang Valley!"

When the others heard this, they were all shocked. Someone shouted, "It's him! I've seen his portrait!"

The reputation of Yin Yang Valley has long spread throughout the world. Apart from the three valley masters, the most talked-about figure is Zhao Yuchen.

A contemporary miracle doctor, whose cultivation surpasses that of a true immortal, wreaks havoc in the Holy Land...

It is said that he is only in his teens. Some say that he is the reincarnation of an ancient great power, while others say that he is the incarnation of the divine consciousness of heaven and earth who came to save the world.

In short, he is a god-like figure with amazing wisdom.

There are even many people who wrote books and biographies about him, making him an even more terrifying figure through true and false rumors.

Most people have only seen his portrait, so it is exciting to see him in person.

He easily subdued this group of powerful foreign demons on the spot with just one move. The rumors were indeed true!

The thin python saluted again: "It really is Young Master Zhao. In the past, the Great Elder and others were blind and offended the Young Master. If it weren't for the Young Master's magnanimity, our Huawu Gang would have no chance of continuing to exist. Today, I have the Young Master's help again, and I am truly grateful!"

The others also expressed their gratitude and applause.

Zhao Yuchen asked, "What on earth is going on with this group of foreign demons?"

The thin python said, "We were escorting a batch of processed spirit stones when we passed through here and were intercepted by this group of foreign demons. So we started fighting with them."

The Huawu Gang's main business is spirit stone processing, and they also provide escort services after processing. This trip has seven immortal monks forming a team, which means the amount is very large.

After further inquiry, we learned that this batch of spiritual stones was mined from the mines under the Jinchan Buddhist Temple and was to be sent to a collection point in the south.

In reality, they didn't know that this batch of spirit stones was actually the promised aid to Yin Yang Valley. Yin Yang Valley would then send this batch of spirit stones to Xuanyuan Country to nourish the Dao Fruit Divine Crystal.

After all, it's Zhao Yuchen's own money.

But why would the demons from outside the domain be lurking and blocking here? Could it be that they have a stronghold in this swamp?

Zhao Yuchen casually grabbed a demon from outside the domain. Under threat of death, the demon revealed the reason: "The Demon Emperor sent the Phoenix Envoy to make deals with the descendants of several major divine beasts, hoping to use the influence of the descendants of the divine beasts to call on the demons of Yuxuan Continent to create chaos on Yuxuan Continent. We are on guard around here, and if we see any cultivators passing by, we can't help but grab them..."

Zhao Yuchen was startled and left this group of demons to the little python, then headed straight for the depths of the swamp.

Chapter 142: Ten Thousand Demons Banner

There are many ancient magic arrays inside the swamp. These arrays will change the surrounding environment and roads. If there is no local to lead the way, people will get lost in it.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuchen had the Divine Mirror, so he had a smooth journey and reached his destination.

The first place he came to was the White Tiger Clan's habitat. At first glance, there was a surge of demonic energy permeating the area. He used 'Absolute Concealment' to perfectly conceal himself and began searching inside.

The White Tiger Clan was quite sparsely populated; some had just returned from hunting, some were taking care of their children, and some were cultivating. It was a peaceful scene.

He took out the communication stone to see if he could contact Gongsun Ningyu and others here, but there was still no response.

It seems they are not in this area.

He then went to the habitats of the Suzaku and Xuanwu clans, but still couldn't contact them. He also didn't see the extraterritorial demons led by Fengluan.

In order to obtain further clues, Zhao Yuchen had to resort to some violence. He randomly grabbed a member of the Xuanwu clan, dragged him into the darkness, and asked for clues.

The fearful member said, "Nichang and Lingchen did bring three women to Daze and had a secret communication with our clan leader. I don't know the specific content. But then our clan leader went to Wan Yao Lake with them."

Zhao Yuchen asked, "Ten Thousand Demons Lake? What's there?"

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the leaders of the four divine beasts worked together to refine a magical weapon called the 'Ten Thousand Demons Banner.' Once this banner was unveiled, all demons in the world would submit. It was the assistance of so many demons that boosted their chances of defeating the foreign demons. When the ancient war ended, the four leaders felt that this banner would suppress the growth of other demons, thereby weakening the entire Yuxuan Continent. They therefore decided to seal it in Ten Thousand Demons Lake, waiting to be unveiled in the future when needed. To retrieve the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, the descendants of the four divine beasts must be present at the same time."

"Then have any demons from outside the domain come to visit you recently?"

"No, no..."

Zhao Yuchen snorted, "I've already captured those foreign demons outside the Great Swamp. They said it themselves, and you dare to lie! You're courting death!"

"Don't kill me..." the man sighed. "Their leader is called Feng Luan, and there's another red-robed man whose face hasn't been revealed. They arrived after the clan leaders went to the Myriad Monster Lake. It seems they had a plan in advance, and they headed straight for the lake."

"Where is the Ten Thousand Demons Lake?" Zhao Yuchen took out the map stone and asked him to point out the location.

"After crossing this swamp, you will see a stream. Follow the stream down and you will eventually reach the Ten Thousand Demons Lake."

"boom!"

After receiving the news, Zhao Yuchen knocked him out with a knife and threw him into the bushes.

...

In the center of the vast lake deep in Wan Yao Lake, more than a dozen small streams flow into it from the west, then converge into a river at the eastern outlet and flow to the distance.

The widest part of this lake is about three hundred miles. Because of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, a large number of ferocious demons gather around and in the lake. They absorb the residual energy emitted by the Ten Thousand Demons Banner and live here for generations, becoming the guardians of the banner in disguise.

These residual energies do not have much effect on the divine beast clan, so they are happy to let these monsters take over the duties.

When Zhao Yuchen arrived here, there were a large number of demon corpses lying around the lakeshore, and some were floating on the lake.

Judging from the small hole-like wounds on their bodies and the dark aura, it must have been Feng Luan who did it.

Zhao Yuchen casually grabbed a surviving demon and confirmed a piece of information: Gongsun Ningyu and her group had entered the lake first. Fengluan and the red-robed man followed and tried to force their way in, but were intercepted by nearby demonic beasts. They then went on a killing spree, leading to the current situation.

Combined with the information obtained previously, the demons from outside the domain must have known that there was the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in the lake, so they came to Daze to trade with the divine beast clan.

As long as they can control the demon race of Yuxuan Continent, the balance of victory will tip towards the outside world.

Although it is the human race that rules the Yuxuan Continent, the demon race should not be underestimated. Dragons, monsters, and goblins can all be classified as demons.

However, the demon race is inherently self-sufficient and rarely unites with other tribes, like a pile of loose sand. If they could expand their territory and build cities and territories like humans, their overall combat power would not be inferior to that of humans.

In ancient times, the four divine beasts who possessed the Ten Thousand Demons Banner were on par with the gods. They joined forces to fight the enemy and jointly protect the Yuxuan Continent.

Because of this, the demons from outside the realm feared and coveted the power of the demon race, intending to obtain the Ten Thousand Demon Banner before the war began. Even if they couldn't truly command the demon race, they could at least prevent the demons from uniting.

But Fengluan's arrival at this very moment and encounter with Master and the others was probably no coincidence. There must be a traitor among the Divine Beast Clan!

Zhao Yuchen opened his Eye of Insight and peered into the lake. Just as his sight was about to reach the bottom, it was blocked by a barrier. After all, it was a barrier created by the four divine beasts back then, so it must have some substance.

The reason why I haven’t been able to contact Grandmaster and the others is probably because of this barrier.

By this calculation, several days have actually passed. I don't know what happened inside.

He knew Feng Luan's strength, which was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary True Immortal, so Gongsun Ning could fight her to a draw. Not to mention the presence of Shen Suxin and Ao Bibi.

Then the key lies in the red-robed man. If he has the cultivation level of a demigod, the three women will indeed be difficult to deal with.

While he was worried, he had already reached the outer edge of the barrier. There was no sign of the barrier being damaged, which meant that Feng Luan and the red-robed man did not force their way in, but entered normally.

Zhao Yuchen had no way to enter normally, so he could only use brute force. With the help of the God-Breaking Mirror, he directly opened a small gap.

The moment the gap appeared, a strong and ancient demonic aura suddenly emerged, making people feel uneasy.

Zhao Yuchen used spiritual energy to protect his body, drilled into the barrier, and then threw out a talisman to seal the gap.

There was a stone temple at the bottom of the lake. Zhao Yuchen entered the stone temple. There were stone statues of the four great mythical beasts. They were arranged in four directions, surrounding a circular formation in the center.

However, the formation was destroyed, with a vortex of spiritual power in the center, causing the space to become distorted due to the vortex.

Zhao Yuchen saw at a glance that this was a teleportation entrance and immediately went in.

...

The scene changed, and Zhao Yuchen came to the sea. The sea water was black, and there was a strong wind on the sea. The waves were hundreds of meters high. Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, interweaving into a dense electric grid.

In the sky a hundred miles away, there was a purple banner with a golden handle inserted into the fragments of space. The banner fluttered in the wind, emitting circles of terrifying yet familiar aura.

And around there, eight people were constantly fighting.

Gongsun Ningyu, Ao Bibi, Shen Suxin, Nishang and Lingchen are in one group; Fengluan, the red-robed man and an old man are in one group.

In a five-on-three situation, Gongsun Ningyu's side still found it difficult to gain the upper hand, which showed that the opponent's cultivation was not ordinary.

Zhao Yuchen's arrival also attracted everyone's attention. Gongsun Ningyu smiled, "Chen'er!"

Chapter 143 I am the King of Monsters

Feng Luan didn't know that Zhao Yuchen was the same Zhao Ritian who had driven her away at the Continental Summit. But she had also researched the now-popular Yin Yang Valley. Combined with the title Gongsun Ningyu had given her, she knew he was Zhao Yuchen, the Young Master of Yin Yang Valley.

Because the rumors about Zhao Yuchen were too outrageous, she had to be cautious and restrained her offensive.

The red-robed man who was traveling with her had no scruples and continued to fight fiercely.

Zhao Yuchen could tell at a glance that the man in red robe was at least a demigod, even very close to the divine realm. No wonder the master and the others had such a hard time fighting.

huh~

Zhao Yuchen summoned the Divine Dragon Sword and rushed straight towards the man in red robe.

The blade light wrapped around the hot flame of the Jade Mysterious Fire Fist, and swept towards the red-robed man like a rolling river of fire.

The red-robed man was slightly startled, "In the early stage of the Divine Realm! Humph..."

After forcibly resisting the attack, the red-robed man was forced back and suffered several burns on his body.

Seeing this, the other old man stopped immediately and turned to flee. Feng Luan slowly retreated and came to the side of the red-robed man.

"Since we're collaborating, we must advance and retreat together!" The red-robed man took off his robe, gently threw it around, and wrapped the old man, pulling him back and leaving him to Feng Luan's care.

Without the red robe covering his face, the man's true appearance was revealed, a monster with a face full of tiny holes.

His skin was completely black, and the small holes on his chest and back were neatly aligned, allowing light to penetrate from the front and back.

At this moment, the realm he displayed rose again and reached the early stage of the Divine Realm.

Zhao Yuchen remained unmoved. If this monster could maintain this state for a long time, he would have used it long ago. Why expose it now? This shows that he had to pay a price to reach this state.

"I'll leave the witch to you. I'll deal with this monster."

Zhao Yuchen pointed his toes in the air and shot towards the red-robed monster like an arrow.

The red-robed monster laughed and rushed forward, immediately fighting fiercely with Zhao Yuchen, and they were evenly matched.

On the other side, Feng Luan was the only one left. With her cultivation level, it was simply a pipe dream for her to defeat Gongsun Ningyu, Shen Suxin, Ao Bibi, Nishang and Ling Chen.

She grabbed the old man wrapped in a red robe with one hand and pressed the other hand on the pendant on her chest. Her beautiful eyes were cold and she said, "Let's say goodbye today. There will always be a chance to fight again."

The pendant dinged, and Feng Luan and the old man disappeared.

Ao Bibi was surprised and asked, "What on earth is this thing that can ignore the sealing barrier and pass away directly?"

Gongsun Ningyu said, "It's no surprise that she dared to come here and had such means."

Shen Suxin, holding the Jade Goddess Sword, met up with Zhao Yuchen and said, "I'm going to help Zhao Yuchen. You guys watch over the Ten Thousand Demons Banner."

...

Zhao Yuchen engaged the red-robed monster in a back-and-forth fight, but he didn't use his full strength or utilize his system abilities. His Eye of Insight had already seen through his true form, so there was no need to expend too much energy on him, lest any further mishaps occur.

At this moment, Shen Suxin arrived to support, and the two of them performed the Jade Maiden Sword Manual and combined their swords.

The sword light illuminated the entire black sea, and even the thunder and lightning retreated.

In just a few rounds, the red-robed monster was beaten even more tattered, and black smoke continued to emerge from his entire body. With every wisp of black smoke, his cultivation level would drop by one point.
