Chapter 186 : The Demon-Locking Pagoda
Que Yao was forced to receive this unexpected attack, a taste of blood rising in his throat. He gazed deeply at the extremely arrogant figure in the distance, his pupils contracting slightly... This person... this person... No, this demon, there was actually another member of the demon race here?!
Also at the late Divine Transformation stage?!
It should be known that Que Yao, as the strongest and most diligent among the demon emperor's hundreds of offspring, had broken through to Divine Transformation before the age of a hundred, and had recently advanced to late Divine Transformation stage. Que Yao believed his talent and strength were already high enough that few in the entire demon realm could match him. Even the demon emperor, whose realm had dropped due to injury, had to take this descendant very seriously.
But this demon before him, he couldn't even tell which species it belonged to. Moreover, how had he never heard of someone with such strength before?
"Who are you?" Que Yao narrowed his eyes. The urgent matter at hand was not to fight head-on. He attempted to adopt a conciliatory approach, a fake smile appearing on his face, "Since you're also of the demon race, why help these human cultivators?"
"As long as you pledge allegiance to me, with our combined strength, we can share the demon realm and divide up the cultivation world!"
Mu Changqing smiled ambiguously, saying lazily, "You think you're worthy to negotiate with me?"
Looking him up and down with utter disdain, "What are you anyway?"
"...How dare you!"
When had Que Yao ever been mocked in such a tone? His face immediately changed, gritting his teeth, "Ignorant fool, since you insist on siding with these despicable human cultivators, then die!"
"Your sect's Third Senior Brother is actually a demon too?" Liu Yuanqing watched the two clash with demonic power, stepping back as he said with difficulty, "No wonder I felt something was off about him all along. He looked flamboyant, giving me a similar feeling to that fox demon. I didn't expect he really was a demon!"
Chu Sang, "......"
See, it wasn't just her imagination. Others also thought Third Senior Brother was becoming increasingly flamboyant.
He had even been categorized as a fox spirit.
What a disgrace to the dragon race!
"Don't worry, Third Senior Brother is on our side. He was expelled by the demon race and taken in by our master when he was young, which is why he's stayed in the cultivation world," Chu Sang said.
She looked up at the two violently clashing demonic auras above. Though their realms were similar, any discerning person could see at a glance which was stronger.
High in the sky, Que Yao's face turned pale. Though he was the demon emperor's unfavored son, he was proud because his strength was sufficient!
However, at this moment, he was utterly shocked. How strong was this person's bloodline talent??!
He was being forced back step by step under Mu Changqing's attacks. After just a few dozen exchanges, Que Yao understood that they weren't even in the same league. This person's bloodline strength far surpassed his...
Suddenly, Que Yao's eyes flickered, and an evil smile appeared on his face. He leaped to dodge an attack, retreating a hundred meters away.
Mu Changqing coldly snorted, wanting to quickly help Little Junior Sister and the others resolve this chaos, especially with this fox demon that had appeared halfway. He didn't think much and leaped to give chase.
Que Yao's figure suddenly vanished.
Immediately after, a huge shadow fell from above. Qin Xixue, who had been hiding her form with a spirit treasure, appeared, holding a seven-storied pagoda in her hand.
The spiritual pressure of this pagoda was extremely strong, at least at the immortal tool grade, with a great suppressive effect on demon beasts.
Seeing this scene, the other sect disciples' faces also changed slightly.
Lou Qing and the others looked at Qin Xixue in disbelief. How could such a powerful magical tool, clearly not something the current cultivation world could produce, be in her possession?
This person had been expelled from the sect, yet she still had so many treasures?
The most outrageous and infuriating thing was—when Qin Xixue had previously teamed up with them for missions and training outside the sect, she had been stingy, unwilling to bring out her treasures, and had to be protected by them at the forefront.
Now, she was using this immortal tool to help a demon?!
Thinking of this, the Tianyan Sect disciples were furious. Fortunately, they had expelled her from the sect, otherwise who knows how much more she would have exploited their sect... She really lived up to her name!
"Senior Brother, you were closest to Qin Xixue before. Do you know where these treasures of hers came from?" Lou Qing asked unhappily.
Mo Qingchen's face was also cold. He recalled that since Qin Xixue had entered the sect a few years ago, she had often intentionally or unintentionally sought him out.
At first, he hadn't thought much of it, simply feeling a natural closeness to this junior sister who also had a heavenly fire spirit root. Due to their sect kinship, he would sometimes look after this new junior sister.
Perhaps because he had helped her before, Qin Xixue would often come to find him, accompanying him on missions outside the sect. To outsiders, they seemed inseparable.
Once, when Mo Qingchen was out training, he was attacked by a demon beast and severely injured. Qin Xixue happened to appear and produced a heaven-grade pill.
Later, when he asked Qin Xixue where the heaven-grade pill came from, she hesitantly said it was given by Master Chang Yu.
At the time, Mo Qingchen hadn't thought much about it, but now he realized that this matter might not have been so simple. The various shocking immortal pills and tools in her possession far exceeded what ordinary disciples would have, and even the sect leaders of the Eight Great Immortal Sects might not be able to produce them.
Some of these treasures had long been extinct, yet they reappeared in her hands. All of this seemed so unreasonable...
Mo Qingchen felt he had forgotten something.
He should have known something, but his thoughts were jumbled, his sea of consciousness foggy. No matter how he tried, he couldn't find that thread of a clue...
His gaze suddenly fell on the bracelet on Qin Xixue's wrist.
In Mo Qingchen's memory, Qin Xixue had always worn this bracelet. That heaven-grade pill from years ago had also been taken out of the bracelet. He had always thought it was just an ordinary storage bracelet, but just now, he saw a mark flash briefly on the bracelet... a mark...
This mark...
He had seen this mark after falling off the cliff with Chu Sang.
"The Myriad Appearances Pagoda, also known as the Demon-Locking Pagoda, is specifically for suppressing demons like you. Since you choose to help Chu Sang, then die! All of you die!" Qin Xixue smiled, but intense hatred and anger appeared in her eyes. That hint of madness was terrifying, like a cultivator in the legends who had gone astray!
The moment the Demon-Locking Pagoda appeared, the two demons present seemed frozen, unable to move... This was not an immortal tool, but a! Divine artifact!
A legendary divine artifact?!
Even Que Yao's eyes flashed with shock. He knew Qin Xixue had many treasures. On this journey, she had already produced many astonishing magical tools and pills. The teleportation tool in his hand was also given by her. But he never imagined she would have such a powerful divine artifact...
The Demon-Locking Pagoda fell!
Chu Sang immediately stepped forward to push Mu Changqing away. When the pagoda fell, she couldn't escape herself. In an instant, she was swallowed by the Demon-Locking Pagoda. The giant pagoda thundered to the ground, and she completely vanished.
"Little Junior Sister!"
