Chapter 2397 Immortal
The two women, possessed by the fox spirit and the willow spirit, underwent a complete change in expression and aura. Their eyes flashed as they focused on a beam of green light in front of them.
This is also a green vine, but unlike the previous green vines, this vine is emerald green and translucent, like jade.
'Shuh! '
The green vines pierced through the air and struck the two women, their spiritual light illuminating the abyss.
The emerald green light, combined with the surging black water below, created a scene resembling a ghostly realm, chilling to the bone.
The two women did not flinch, but their eyes changed.
Chi Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, her gaze bright and intimidating, sharp as a knife. Gu Mei's eyes, however, became incredibly tender, as if filled with deep affection, her watery eyes almost overflowing with tears.
The next moment, two completely different forces suddenly appeared in the void, one soft and one hard, and locked onto the green vine almost simultaneously.
Immediately, the green vine began to twist, one half seemingly being struck by a tremendous force and violently bounced up, while the other half was gently pushed away and rippled outwards.
Two different behaviors combined in one person, but the result was the same: Qing Teng was forced back by the two women and failed to harm them in the slightest.
'Whoosh! '
The green vine reached back and climbed up the old man's arm in the brocade robe.
The old man in the brocade robe looked solemn. These two demonesses were not bluffing; they already possessed strength comparable to his. This meant that he was no longer facing the two women from before, but rather the two protectors of the Five Immortals Sect!
He hesitated to use his full strength earlier because he was worried, thinking it would just take some more time and these three guys would never escape his grasp. But unexpected events happened one after another, and now it's too late to regret it.
Suddenly, a strange howl rang out.
The old man in the brocade robe's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated. A cloud of white mist inexplicably rose from where he had been standing, and three fox tails flashed past. Had the old man not had keen senses, he would have been struck by the fox tails.
The old man in the brocade robe, still unsteady on his feet and sensing danger, quickly veered his escape light, narrowly missing a small sword.
This sword is only the size of a thumb, small and exquisite, yet its danger level is in no way inferior to any magical treasure.
The little sword appeared out of nowhere, and it wasn't until it was almost upon the old man in the brocade robe that he noticed it, narrowly avoiding the attack, only to find that the little sword had vanished into thin air right in front of him.
The fox spirit and willow spirit seemed to have only forced the old man in brocade robes to retreat, and did not continue to attack, instead manipulating the two women's bodies to soar into the sky.
The old man in the brocade robe glanced down, his expression changed, and then he darted off to catch up with the two women.
'Swish! Swish!'
The four demons are fiercely attacking the Black and Yellow Protectors, but unfortunately, the opponents are also top-tier experts, and they won't be able to defeat them in the short term.
The two women rushed into the battlefield, and the four guardians finally reunited.
The Black and Yellow Protectors, finally able to catch their breath, complained with relief, "Why are you all so slow?"
"You were all too hasty!"
The fox spirit said coldly, looking around. At this moment, the old man in brocade robes joined the four demons, and the five top experts surrounded the four of them.
However, the current situation is completely different from before. Although the Five Immortals Sect is missing one person, four against five is not an absolute disadvantage. Once the fox spirit and other demons arrive, they can immediately turn the tide.
The Plague God's plot had clearly failed, and their faces were extremely grim.
"The White Immortal should be arriving soon, right? I didn't expect to attract all five guardians of the Five Immortals Sect. It seems I underestimated the value of some things!"
The Plague God narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke with a profound meaning.
The fox spirit turned her gaze to the Plague God, her voice still icy, "What else do you all possess? If you hand it over, we might be able to turn hostility into friendship. In the future, the Five Immortals' Abode will never make things difficult for you."
The fox spirit seemed to be the leader among the four guardians, while the black and yellow guardians and the willow spirit remained silent.
Upon hearing this, the five demons all showed expressions of disapproval.
The Plague God sneered.
Provoking the Five Immortals' Abode is indeed troublesome, but not enough to make them fearful. If they really run out of options, they can simply abandon their Lotus Crossing Great Swamp base; with their strength, there's sure a Great Sage would be willing to take them in.
"Since that's the case, let's see who uses the most skillful means!"
The Plague Lord snorted and gestured to Gu Lao and the three elders. Immediately, the five demons transformed into five streaks of light and plunged into the depths of darkness.
The four guardians of the Five Immortals Sect are here. If they continue to fight, they won't gain any advantage. It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the White Immortal hasn't arrived yet and go first, so they can gain some initiative.
The fox spirits were powerless to stop them and could only watch the five demons depart.
At this moment, the abyss was in turmoil, with black tides rising and falling, ink-like traces flying everywhere, making it extremely dangerous.
The five demons arrived through the air, and upon seeing the scene, their escape light paused slightly before disappearing into the depths of the black tide.
A moment later, the four guardians also appeared above the black tide, looking at the ink marks with solemn expressions, and did not descend for a long time.
……
The lake where the Water Dragon Palace is located is shrouded in dark clouds and filled with eerie atmosphere.
Countless demon soldiers lined up in neat formations and marched southwest towards the great lake. At the very front of the demon soldiers was a royal carriage.
On the right side of the imperial carriage, a purple rhinoceros rode through the clouds, running parallel to the carriage. On the rhinoceros's back sat a man and a woman, who were the cousins.
Yuanluo sat upright in the imperial carriage, leading a large army with Zixi, heading towards the southwest.
The demon soldiers behind him were all mighty and fierce. They were originally elite troops sent by the demon king of the nearby area, and after such a long period of training, they were already the elite of the elite, neat and uniform, and obeyed orders without question.
As the army set off, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the lake. The whirlpool grew faster and faster, and a crystal palace slowly rose up.
This crystal palace is smaller than the water dragon palace at the bottom of the lake. If the demons like Chi Lian were here, they would recognize that this is actually the White Dragon King's bedroom, and that it is a treasure.
The Crystal Palace gates were tightly shut, so the White Dragon King must be inside at this moment.
'call out! ’
Crystal Palace caught up with the army, running alongside it on the left flank.
Not far along, a cluster of seven-colored clouds flew in from the southwest, and a golden pagoda was faintly visible within the clouds.
The tower has nine stories and is magnificent.
The demon cultivators in this area all know that this tower is the palace of the Plague King. The Rainbow Cloud Golden Tower flew to the right side of the army, facing the Crystal Palace of the White Dragon King from afar.
Both palaces exuded a powerful aura, indicating that not only the White Dragon King and the Plague King, but also their demon kings had been mobilized!
The army's passage was too commotion to be concealed, and the demon kings, who had been watching the area closely, immediately received the news.
Countless eyes were watching the army from the shadows.
"Rumors say that Crimson Meteor Mountain has won over the White Dragon King, and that the Plague Lord and Moonlit Tundra are closer, and it is indeed true."
On a cliff by the lake, several people stood in the shadows, gazing at the army.
A face emerged from the shadows; it was none other than the Black Silence Demon King. Standing behind him were all the demon kings who had already pledged allegiance to him, including Meishan Yuanjun, who was positioned quite far forward.
“Those demon saint’s subordinates have finally made their move. What instructions does Your Majesty have?” A short man stepped forward, revealing a fawning smile.
The other demon kings all showed disdain in their eyes.
Although they had submitted to the Black Silence Demon King, they usually addressed him as "fellow Daoist" or at most as "Great King." Only the Great Sage could command their willing submission!
No matter how strong the Black Silence Demon King was, he was only one or two minor realms higher than them, and he had done them no favors. Only this wolf demon had no shame, fawning over the Black Silence Demon King.
The Black Silence Demon King chuckled and licked his lips. "Just follow them! This is our territory. The Demon Saint's subordinates are eating meat; we can't leave our brothers not even a drop of soup!"
As he spoke, the Black Silence Demon King's feet created clouds, and he flew off the cliff, with Meishan Yuanjun and the other demon kings following closely behind.
As the army advanced, more and more demon cultivators followed. They dared not openly overtake them, but could only trail far behind. Countless demon cultivators were hidden in those clouds and mists.
Crimson Meteor Mountain and Moonlit Tundra seemed completely unaware of this, and did not send any experts to drive them away.
The army flew over thousands of mountains and rivers without stopping for a moment.
Gradually, some demon cultivators began to discern the destination of the Demon Saint's subordinates.
"They're heading to the place where the Four Kings fell!"
"It seems the rumors have some basis; the two Great Sages perished together there, and the Four Kings suffered an undeserved calamity."
"The Great Sage perished together with the enemy? It's not that simple! Don't you think there's something fishy about it? Even if the Great Sage's life force really went out, Crimson Meteor Mountain and Moonlit Tundra should have kept it a secret. How could they have allowed this news to spread!"
"Perhaps the secret was accidentally leaked..."
……
The demon cultivators were secretly discussing among themselves.
They were now close to the place where the four kings had fallen, and the truth would soon be revealed. All the demons were eagerly anticipating it.
Finally, the marshland where the four kings fell came into view at the edge of the horizon.
Today, the lake has become a vast expanse of water. The water that was once drained can return, but the mountains that were moved have all been pulverized, and the remaining rocks have been scattered into the lakebed. Now, only some reefs can be seen protruding above the water.
Since the arrival of Crimson Meteor Mountain and Moonlit Tundra, this area has been sealed off, and entry is not permitted.
The demon cultivators behind them all stopped and watched from a distance.
Unexpectedly, the army did not stop when it reached this place. The demon saint's subordinates stationed here returned to the army and continued westward with it.
Seeing this, all the demons were completely bewildered. After waiting for a while, they flew over with some doubt, without any hindrance.
"Where exactly are we going, to Crimson Meteor Mountain and Moonlit Tundra?"
The demons were puzzled and had no choice but to continue following.
After flying over this area, they entered the sacred ground of Huaguang Heavenly King, one of the Four Kings. The army continued westward until they reached the far west of Huaguang Heavenly King's sacred ground, where the imperial carriage and the purple rhinoceros finally stopped.
It was unexpected that the Demon Saint's subordinates were after this place.
Beneath the demons stretched an endless golden ocean, with reeds swaying in the breeze and countless reeds gently dancing in the sunlight.
"It's actually here!"
All the demons were greatly surprised.
This reed marsh is part of the Huaguang Heavenly King's dojo. It is very vast, even larger than the dojos of the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings, and is famous far and wide.
Only reeds grow here. Because it is too barren, no demon king was willing to establish his cave here. Later, it was taken over by Huaguang Tianwang, but he basically ignored it and used it as a buffer between other forces.
After the fall of the four kings, this reed marshland remained deserted.
The fact that such a barren place had caught the attention of Crimson Meteor Mountain and Moonlit Tundra piqued the curiosity of all the demons.
At this moment, Yuanluo stepped out of the imperial carriage, and the two cousins also stood up from the back of the purple rhinoceros. The conflict between them had long been public knowledge; their eyes met briefly before looking away without any exchange, and they issued commands on their own.
The demons began to move, with squads of demon soldiers weaving in and out of each other, and the great formation rapidly expanded outwards. Every now and then, a squad of demon soldiers would break away from the formation and fly into the sky, their destination unknown.
The palaces of the White Dragon King and the Plague God also stopped on the outskirts.
Before the Golden Pagoda of Rainbow Clouds, the Demon King of Wrath appeared, observed for a moment, then turned around and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, we have arrived."
The orders of the Plague God came from within the Golden Pagoda.
"You few go in and lend a hand to the fellow Daoists of the Moonlit Tundra."
"Yes!"
The Demon King of Binding Vengeance selected several demon kings to enter the battle formation, while at the same time, several streaks of light flew out from the Crystal Palace on the other side.
The army unfolded in an orderly manner in all directions.
The imperial carriage and the purple rhinoceros were located at the very center of the formation. Yuanluo glanced around, nodded in satisfaction, put away the imperial carriage, and with a wave of her hand, four spiritual needles shot out from her sleeve.
The spiritual needles transformed into four giant pillars in mid-air, plunging straight into the marshland. The exposed portions were still thousands of feet high, resembling four pillars of heaven.
Immediately afterwards, flames erupted at the top of the giant pillar.
The torches were clearly visible in the daytime. The demons in the distance, gazing at the flames, were terrified even from such a distance, and the more timid ones couldn't help but retreat a great distance.
At this moment, the cousins also took out their horns and blew them together. The purple rhinoceros beneath them leaped up, its figure disintegrating in mid-air and turning into a purple mist that enveloped the pillar of fire, remaining condensed and blocking the view from the outside.
Both sides then threw out several more treasures, and the purple mist grew thicker and thicker, forming a purple barrier that separated the inside from the outside.
Suddenly, both of them flashed away and flew into the purple mist.
Before entering the purple mist, their eyes were filled with malice as they looked at each other. But once inside, the three demons immediately returned to normal and silently entered the center of the purple mist.
Yuanluo nodded to the two demons and threw out a treasure flag. The three demons worked together to activate it, and the flag stirred up clouds and mist, creating another barrier in the purple mist.
Inside the Baoqi, it was pitch black.
Yuanluo raised her hands, holding something in her hands. Golden light shone through her fingers. In her palms, the golden light was like water, and floating in the water was something that looked like a golden talisman. However, the shape of the talisman kept changing and was as soft as brocade.
Upon seeing the golden talisman, the three demons all showed respect.
Yuanluo held the golden talisman to her forehead, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Reporting to the Immortal, we are ready."
The next moment, the golden talisman in her hand trembled slightly, emitting a powerful voice.
"Well done! It went so smoothly. It seems the Great Sage didn't set any obstacles for you."
“Although there was no open obstruction, there are certainly no shortage of spies,” Yuanluo replied.
The voice within the golden talisman hummed in agreement, “Let’s continue with the previous plan… Hmm, have you heard anything recently about a Qilin descendant being born somewhere?”
The three demons looked at each other, all saying they had never heard of such a thing.
The voice in the golden talisman sounded somewhat disappointed, saying, "Go ahead and do it. I will guide you secretly."
"Yes!"
Yuanluo bowed in response, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking the question.
"Immortal, when will we be able to rescue Master?"
The two cousins pricked up their ears, showing concern.
