Alchemy Dao Immortal

Chapter 466: True Treasure and Great Means
At some point, there was a loud sound of thunder and lightning in the sky outside, and a sword light rose from the direction of the city. After a short circle, it came towards Xuanling Zhenyang Fei Palace. From a distance, it looked like a long jade belt, spanning more than ten feet, clear and flawless.

The sword light was extremely sharp and the speed of escape was astonishing. In just a flash, it had already flown past and reached the flying palace. Then Li Bixiao walked out. Above the top door, sword energy was circling. Wisps of cold color hung at his feet, condensing into large and small frost wheels, going back and forth.

He walked slowly, and the murderous aura between his brows gradually faded as he adjusted himself, and soon, it disappeared.

He is a true disciple of the same class as Zhou Qing, and comes from a noble family. He practices the "Feng De Zhan Tian Sword Sutra", one of the Five Qi and Four Methods of the Zhenyi Sect. He is extremely talented and can be regarded as the best among the young people who followed Zhou Qing.

So even though he had just been killing non-stop and killed countless demon soldiers, he was not mesmerized by the slaughter. There was a cold light in his heart like a mirror.

When Li Bixiao arrived at the main hall of Zhenyang Fei Palace and looked up, ripples appeared on his originally calm state of mind.

In his eyes, a gorgeous three-colored rainbow was emerging above the high platform, hanging in the air, with countless seal characters appearing and disappearing on it, like stars in the sky, constantly arranging and combining, and an astonishing mystery struck his brow.

In a trance, it was like facing the starry sky, like standing on the edge of an abyss, like facing mountains and rivers. Just one look at it, and you could feel its vastness and profoundness, its all-encompassingness, and its remoteness and depth.

Taking a deep breath, Li Bixiao found his seat, spread his sleeves and sat down, remaining silent.

The longer he stayed with Zhou Qing, the more powerless he felt. This was because he was not only a genius of his generation, but also had a rare talent for cultivation. He was also ambitious, not impetuous, down-to-earth, hardworking, and getting stronger day by day.

If this continues, the gap will only get bigger and bigger.

"How to do?"

Li Bixiao lowered his eyelids. What he wanted now was not to catch up with Zhou Qing in a short period of time, but to avoid being left further and further behind by the other party.

Thousands of miles away, the capital of the demon tribe.

Ancient trees towered up to the sky, pines and cypresses grew in clusters, white clouds filled the air, and a lingering chill lingered around. In the distance, there were the sounds of bells, drums, and jade chimes, one after another, and when I heard them, there was an indescribable solemnity in my ears.

Rows of three-meter-tall demon soldiers stood at the door, covered in demon armor and carrying huge blood-red axes on their backs. Their eyes were bloodshot, and the murderous aura on their bodies had almost condensed into substance. It was obvious at first glance that they were all murderous.

Shi Yuan stood at the front. This demon general was wearing mottled bronze armor that covered his entire body, leaving only a pair of exceptionally blood-red narrow eyes exposed. He stared outside, motionless.

After a while, a golden light appeared in the distance, thousands and thousands of them, like countless scales stepping on the waves. Behind them, there was a gorgeous cloud car with a pearl curtain rolled up. Inside, there was a slender figure wearing a colorful skirt and a light gauze wrapped around her body. An indescribable fragrance filled the air.

The cloud carriage came closer and slowly stopped, then the bead curtain opened. The woman inside had not yet come out, but a voice came out first, saying, "General Shi."

When one first heard her voice, it was like sparse jade, very clear, but when one listened to it again, there was a kind of alluring charm underneath the clarity, which made one feel ecstatic and captivated.

Even a figure like Shi Yuan felt numb after hearing this. He used his magic to suppress the numbness and said, "Miss Yun, the king is inside."

"Ah."

The enchanting woman walked out of the cloud car, with her face slightly raised. The light from outside came down, and mixed with the fragrance on her body, as if she was covered with a layer of mysterious veil, making her look even more flawless. She turned her pair of charming eyes, lifted her skirt with one hand, and walked slowly inside.

She came to the hall inside, took a glance, came to her own cloud platform, and sat down. On the bronze treasure bottle on the jade table beside her, cold light slanted down from the mouth of the bottle, and the cold color filled the surroundings, which made her eyes move.

In the hall, more than a dozen powerful demonic auras were swirling, threatening to soar into the sky. They were as domineering and arrogant as ever, but compared to the past, they were a little more restless.

After all, no matter how powerful he is in the local area, a move by a giant like the Zhenyi Sect can still make his colleagues who are fearless feel heavy pressure.

"The Shinichi sect."

When the female demon Yun Renhua thought of these three words, her heart was also shocked. The Shangxuan Sect has a profound foundation and ranks at the forefront among all the Shangxuan Sects. Although it has fallen into a trough due to some events in the past, it has now recovered and expanded outward. Immediately, there was a strong wind and thunder, shocking all directions.

"but,"

Yun Renhua's rose-colored nails moved, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes. It seemed that the king was prepared for the unusual movements of the Zhenyi Sect?

Not long after, a solemn bell rang suddenly in the hall, and then countless black air burst out from the patterns on the caisson in the sky, and finally fell down, gathering into a tall figure on the platform in the center. He wore a crown on his head, a brocade white python robe on his body, and a pair of slightly scarlet eyes. When he looked down, there was a kind of lofty majesty in his eyes.

"I have met the king."

Seeing the visitor, all the big monsters in the hall stood up and saluted. Even if they were unruly outside, they were still trembling with fear when facing the leader of the monster tribe who could be compared with Xuanmen Dongtian Zhenren.

The demon king on the high platform looked down, waved his sleeves, and a wild and ancient aura emerged, penetrating everything above and below. He spoke directly, "The Zhenyi Sect is coming with great momentum, and a war is inevitable. Don't be complacent."

Hearing these words, the big monsters in the hall felt even more heavy-hearted, as if there was a murderous aura coming from between their brows, making a clanging sound.

Faced with the powerful attack of Zhenyi Sect, even they would not be able to escape unscathed, and there would definitely be bloodshed.

Seeing the expressions of the people in the hall, the middle-aged man on the high platform remained calm and continued, "The Zhenyi Sect is invading in such a large scale and rashly provoking a war. The many demon tribes in Luanyun Continent will not sit idly by. Reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Reinforcements."

The expressions of the monsters in the hall improved a little. Only then did they remember that if one sect is as powerful as the Zhenyi Sect, the entire Luanyun Continent will not sit idly by and will definitely take action.

The Zhenyi Sect is indeed a high-level sect with a profound foundation and countless powerful people, but there are also several demon kings in Luanyun Continent. More importantly, it is impossible for the Zhenyi Sect to attack with all its strength, after all, there are many powerful forces eyeing the Zhenyi Sect.

Half an hour later, everyone in the hall united in will, and the big monsters left one after another, returning to their own territories to make arrangements.

Yun Renhua stayed behind, and when he saw that there was no one around, he walked up and said, "Your Majesty."

"Ah."

The leader of the demon tribe on the high platform nodded, looked down with his bloodshot eyes, and his expression softened a little. He asked, "What's the matter?"

“I heard that the ones who have now infiltrated Luanyun Continent are several of the top ten disciples of Zhenyi Sect.” Yun Renhua’s long eyelashes fluttered, and there was charm in her purple eyeshadow, but her tone was cold. She said, “The top ten disciples of Zhenyi Sect are indeed amazing, but they are not yet at the Nascent Soul stage. We can definitely send people to stop them.” According to the arrangement just now, they were on passive defense and gathering strength in the back, but in this way, as the Zhenyi Sect’s cultivators rushed forward, their demon tribe members in the front would probably suffer heavy losses.

In her opinion, why not send a few demon commanders to the battlefield to block the enemy? They also have several demon commanders, comparable to human Yuanying cultivators.

The demon king on the high platform did not speak for the time being, but his narrow bloodshot eyes looked towards the direction of Zhenyi Sect.

Ordinary people cannot see it, but in the eyes of a powerful man like him who is comparable to a Dongtian Zhenren, there is a fan-shaped light coming from the direction of Zhenyi Sect, which is long and covers a part of the area from the Zhenyi Sect’s mountain gate to Luanyun Continent.

In this bright light, there are tiny and fragmented seal characters that constantly appear and disappear, and a strange power is rising, back and forth.

At first glance, one can tell that it is absolutely jade-smooth and clear, perfect and flawless, and of unparalleled magical use.

A top-notch sect like the Zhenyi Sect would not easily let its ten great disciples take risks. They directly used the sect's precious treasures, radiated a part of the Luanyun Continent into it, and invested mysterious power.

In the area covered by the bright light, an indescribable magnetic field has been formed. Ordinary cultivators will not be affected, but if other powerful monsters at the level of demon commanders comparable to the Nascent Soul stage pass by from outside, they will definitely be blocked by the magnetic field.

This was obviously a zone marked out by the Zhenyi Sect, which was handed over to the ten great disciples they sent out, and Luanyunzhou was not allowed to interfere.

Such a deployment of power and magnetic field shielding can probably only be achieved by a top-level sect with a profound foundation like the Zhenyi Sect. After all, the resources consumed in this way are enormous.

Of course, if he did it himself, such a long-distance projection of force would not be able to stop his own power, but there was no doubt that the Zhenyi Sect must have arranged for Dongtian Zhenren to be on the outskirts of Luanyun Continent long ago, and they would not sit idly by.

The war in Luanyun Continent has just begun, and it is not yet the time for people at the level of Dongtian Zhenren to fight.

"The Shinichi sect."

The leader of the demon tribe on the high platform had a sneer on his face. The Zhenyi Sect's attack on Luanyun Continent must have been planned in advance. They must have even marked the area where they deployed their forces, with several demon commanders already on the map.

They had made their wishful thinking. Now that Thunder had moved, on the one hand they could encroach on the territory of Luanyun Continent, and on the other hand they could train their ten great disciples without any delay.

However, the Zhenyi Sect coveted Luanyun Continent. I was not completely heartless when facing this "evil neighbor" of the Zhenyi Sect. I was always on guard against them.

This time we will see who has the more skillful means.

He did not discuss this with Yun Renhua below, but simply said: "Although our demon tribe has a lot of manpower, there is still a big gap compared to the upper Xuan sect like Zhenyi Sect. It is a good opportunity to concentrate our forces and store them at Heiyu Pass to prevent being defeated one by one by Zhenyi Sect."

Yun Renhua was a little confused after hearing this, but she nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Originally, their demon tribe was a small force in Luanyun Continent and lived a wandering life. It was only when their king suddenly rose to power that he led them to conquer their current vast territory.

The king's prestige in the demon tribe is so great that there is no need to say more, and his words are law.

"Then let's meet then."

Yun Renhua's eyes turned. According to the king's arrangement, Heiyu Pass was already a relatively deep place in Luanyunzhou. At Heiyu Pass, the cultivators of Zhenyi Sect were completely away from home, and they occupied the home court.

After conquering another city, Zhou Qing sat upright on the Xuanling Zhenyang Flying Palace, looking at the cultivators who had just returned below. He glanced around and found that they were all looking tired.

After all, they attacked the demon clan cities all the way and fought continuously on the demon clan's territory, which consumed a lot of energy. Even if there were elixirs provided by the sect, elixirs were not omnipotent, and the consumed mana and divine will would not be replenished all at once.

In fact, the intense competition was due to the slaying of monsters and the seizure of merits. Otherwise, they would have been exhausted long ago.

"Fix it first."

Zhou Qing saw it and decisively gave orders. He divided the people under him into two groups. A few people like Li Bixiao who still had strength left would guard the Flying Palace, while the others took the time to rest and recover.

After making the arrangements, Zhou Qing sent out a flying letter, then stood up, left the flying palace, and arrived above the clouds outside.

He looked into the distance and saw the endless black air, which gave people a deep feeling of depression.

After all, this Luanyun Continent is a place where demons have been operating for a long time. The further in and deeper they go, the more this world rejects Xuanmen monks like them.

By now, the easy time they had in Luanyun Island was over, and going forward, it would be a tough journey.

At this moment, there was a slight sound, followed by the sound of rings and bracelets, and Zuo Ziyang appeared. She was holding a flower basket and looking into the distance with a solemn look on her face.

"Senior Sister Zuo." Zhou Qing definitely didn't invite her out for a casual chat, so he got straight to the point and said, "Before we came, the sect's decree said that there are at least two demon commanders comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators in the area we are attacking. If we want to complete the sect's mission, these two demon commanders must be eliminated."

Zuo Ziyang nodded, stars flashing in his eyes.

A demon commander-level demon is definitely not inferior to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, and in the territory of Luanyun Continent, it is more terrifying than a Nascent Soul cultivator. With the cultivation level of the two people at the Hepo realm, it is also a difficult task to face such a person.

However, this is the test that the sect gives to their ten new disciples. No matter how difficult it is, they have to complete it.

"and,"

According to the news from the sect, there are two demon commanders in this area, but not necessarily only two. After all, the situation in Luanyunzhou has always been complicated, and the leader of the demon department in Luanyunzhou is also a man of great talent and strategy. If they make some arrangements, even the Zhenyi Sect will not be able to control everything.

“We have to be prepared.”

Zhou Qing also had the same idea and spoke calmly to Zuo Ziyang. He had experience in conquering the Nanchuan Lake, but he knew it would not be smooth sailing.
