Qinghe Immortal Clan.

In the battle just now, Song Qingming and Wang Zhixing did not see clearly what kind of pill Yang Kaishan had swallowed.

However, it was also noticed that the reason why his strength suddenly increased so much and he was able to get rid of the entanglement of those demon emperors was that there was something wrong with his aura.

There must have been some special secret technique or magical object used to cause this side effect.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, burning a large amount of his essence and blood in a short period of time will not necessarily endanger his life, but it will inevitably damage his vital energy and cultivation.

If Yang Kaishan hadn't decisively taken the "Blood Burning Pill" just now, helping to restrain the "Mysterious Armor Demon Emperor" for a moment...

Song Qingming had no chance of seizing the opportunity to defeat his opponent, and it was unknown how long they would have to fight before a winner could be decided.

Yang Kaishan's performance was also crucial in their ability to escape quickly from the battle.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingming and Wang Zhixing quickly took out some healing pills from their bodies and handed them to the other party.

"Thank you both, fellow Daoists!"

Yang Kaishan accepted the pills offered by the two men without much ceremony and began to cast spells to heal his internal injuries.

".."

Not long after Song Qingming and his companions left, more than a dozen streaks of light flew in from the horizon and stopped above the battlefield where they had just fought the "Mysterious Armored Demon Emperor".

“Brother Fengting, didn’t you just say that Xuanjia had caught up with them?”

How could they have disappeared so quickly? Were all those people so easily defeated, and already perished at his hands?

Faced with the Demon Emperor's question, the "Wind and Thunder Demon Emperor," who also looked puzzled, did not reply but instead took out a jade tablet that emitted spiritual light from his body.

He cast a spell to cover the jade tablet in his hand, and soon a voice transmission flew into the ears of the "Wind and Thunder Demon Emperor," causing a look of surprise to appear on his face.

"Brother, what exactly happened here?"

"Xuanjia has just been defeated by them and has already led his men to retreat south."

"What? We just received the news, and it's only been the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. How could Xuanjia have been defeated so quickly?"

Could it be that those people really possess something powerful?

As several demon kings whose territories were adjacent, the demons were well aware of the strength of the "Mysterious Armor Demon King." Even if two or three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.

Moreover, the "Mysterious Armored Demon Emperor" was accompanied by six Nascent Soul experts, so how could he have been defeated by those human cultivators so quickly?

Upon hearing this news from the "Wind and Thunder Demon Emperor," many of the demon emperors present showed expressions of disbelief.

Faced with the doubts on the faces of the demons, the "Wind and Thunder Demon Emperor" slowly spoke:

"Those people do have some powerful supernatural abilities, and they also have imitation spiritual treasures. It's not surprising that Xuanjia lost to them."

"If they didn't have some skill, how would these human cultivators dare to venture deep into our Northern Underworld Immortal Continent to search for treasures?"

"No wonder when we fought him that day, Mu Huai kept saying that he had a very powerful magic weapon. I didn't expect it to be a replica of a magic weapon."

It seems we've caught a big fish this time; this guy must be an elder from some major sect in Zhongyuan Immortal Continent.

"If we can get his head, we might even get a reward when the Ancestor comes out of seclusion."

"Hmm! This person has a replica of a magical artifact; we must not let him escape."

Having said that, "Wind and Thunder Demon Emperor" took the lead and continued the pursuit westward, with the other demon emperors beside him also transforming into streaks of light and immediately following.

".."

A flash of crimson lightning streaked across the sky.

Dozens more low-level monsters that had been chasing after them were reduced to ashes by the lightning.

Yang Kaishan needed to use magic to heal his injuries, while Song Qingming was responsible for eliminating the various demons that came to stop him.

The task of propelling the flying boat to travel could only fall on Wang Zhixing alone, so the three of them traveling by flying boat were slightly slower than before.

The western coastal region that the three wanted to reach was still about 10,000 miles away.

It is estimated that in another half day, they will be able to successfully cross this area controlled by the demonic disaster and turn around to head south.

Once they enter the territories of other demon races, the many demon emperors who are pursuing them will surely be wary, and they can take the opportunity to escape.

Just as Song Qingming was cautiously watching the front of the flying boat, a dark cloud appeared again not far ahead, surrounding the location of the flying boat where the three of them were.

“We can’t turn back now, fellow Daoists. I’ll cover you all as you charge straight through.”

Seeing that the number of demons that came this time was not small, Song Qingming's face also became more solemn, and a red spiritual light appeared on his body.

Wang Zhixing nodded slightly in response to Song Qingming's suggestion.

Yang Kaishan, who had been sitting to the side healing his wounds, also got up and began casting spells to prepare for the impending attack by the demons.

In the sky, countless demonic creatures pressed down like dark clouds, but Song Qingming remained calm and raised his hand to conjure two crimson tigers.

The moment "Crimson Sun Divine Thunder" appeared, it immediately intimidated the numerous low-level demons that had come to attack from the surrounding area.

Amidst flashes of lightning, screams and thunderous roars echoed through the sky, and countless demons perished instantly in the crimson divine lightning.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Zhixing and Yang Kaishan immediately used magic to control the flying boat and quickly passed through the passage created by the lightning.

Over the past few days, the three of them had encountered countless groups of monsters, and their teamwork had become highly skilled.

But just as the airship was about to pass through the dark clouds where the monsters had gathered, two more dark figures suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking its way.

Two more Nascent Soul level demons.

The strength of a Nascent Soul level demon is far beyond that of an ordinary demon. Even when facing the "Crimson Sun Divine Lightning" that counters them, they can withstand it head-on and are not instantly killed.

The "Crimson Sun Divine Thunder" activated by Song Qingming had just killed over a thousand low-level demons, and its power had already weakened considerably.

The two Nascent Soul demons, along with countless low-level demons around them, directly confronted Lei Hu's attack, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

Just as Song Qingming was about to increase his magical power again in an attempt to repel the opponent, a series of eerie laughs suddenly came from the dark clouds.

"Hahaha."

"I thought it was some blind monster coming here to die, but I didn't expect that there would be human cultivators who dare to trespass into this place."

"It was definitely the right decision for Mr. Lu to come out for a stroll today."

The laughter carried a chilling undertone that instilled a sense of dread, causing a sudden, overwhelming fear in the listener, as if something had struck their heart.

Faced with this strange sound, Song Qingming, Wang Zhixing, and the other two immediately cast spells to release a shield to resist it and stabilize their minds.

The next moment, as a black light flashed through the dark clouds, a young man holding a white bone jade fan and half of his body shrouded in black mist suddenly appeared in front of the flying boat.

"A late-stage Nascent Soul demon!"

Upon seeing the powerful aura emanating from the newcomer, who was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming and the other two also changed their expressions slightly.

The "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" was tainted by demonic energy due to a demonic calamity that occurred tens of thousands of years ago, making it unsuitable for normal living beings to survive.

Besides the less intelligent demons, these areas ravaged by demonic calamities have also attracted many high-level demonic cultivators to hide within them.

These demonic cultivators, in order to cultivate or forge magical treasures, would infiltrate other cultivation worlds and stir up bloodshed.

Once they are besieged by righteous cultivators and have nowhere to go, they will flee to the "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" and hide there.

Some high-level demonic cultivators have even established sects and schools here, making this place the main base of demonic cultivators in the "Huayang Realm".

Although the major sects of Zhongyuan Immortal Continent had also sent their armies of cultivators to Beiming Immortal Continent to conquer the demonic cultivators there and try to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

However, due to the enhancement of the true demonic energy here, the demonic cultivators here are more powerful than outside, and in addition, there are also demons from the "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" keeping them in check.

For tens of thousands of years, the cultivators of Zhongyuan Immortal Continent have not only failed to completely eradicate the demonic cultivators here, but have instead allowed the number of demonic cultivators to increase and their power to grow.

Currently, in the entire "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent," there are dozens of demonic sects at the Nascent Soul stage or above that are known to the public, and there are even old demons at the Divine Transformation stage.

They thought that since the three of them were just walking along the edge of the area covered by the demonic calamity, they shouldn't run into these demons hiding deep inside.

Unexpectedly, we're almost out of the demonic territory.

The three of them actually ran into a powerful demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage here; their luck was truly terrible.

Fortunately, the opponent only came one person, and his cultivation level was not like that of the "Mysterious Armor Demon Emperor," who had stepped into the half-step Nascent Soul realm. Therefore, Song Qingming and his two companions did not feel as much pressure when facing this demon as before.

Wang Zhixing looked at the man in black robes before him and said confidently:

“Fellow Daoist, we have only stumbled upon this place by mistake. We are not here to cause you any trouble. How about you do us a favor and let us pass?”

Otherwise, if a fight breaks out later, you won't gain any advantage.

Although they were outnumbered three to one, Song Qingming's team did not have much of a disadvantage.

However, knowing that there might be other demon experts chasing after them, the three were eager to escape and did not want to waste time with them here for no reason.

However, the man in black robes showed a hint of disdain in response to Wang Zhixing's words of advice.

"Heh! You lot think you can cause me trouble here? Your arrogance is a bit too much!"

"Let me tell you the truth, now that you've fallen into my hands, don't even think about leaving alive."

After the man in black robes finished speaking, he gently opened the "white jade bone fan" in his hand, and four black skulls flew out of the fan and gathered in one place in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a skeletal monster with four heads and eight arms.

The skeletal monster's aura was surprisingly comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, causing Yang Kaishan to widen his eyes in surprise.

"This is... the Nine Netherworld White Bone Demon!"

"May I ask what your relationship is with the Nine Nether Demon?"

Upon hearing the words "Nine Netherworld Old Demon," Song Qingming and Wang Zhixing, who was standing beside him, were slightly taken aback, looking at the person in front of them with disbelief.

Although it was Song Qingming and his companion's first time visiting "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent," they didn't know much about the demonic cultivator forces there.

However, they had heard of the name "Nine Nether Old Demon," after all, he was one of the few famous Nascent Soul demons in the Huayang Realm.

"Nine Nether Old Demon" was originally a cultivator from a righteous sect. Thousands of years ago, he was just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator in Zhongyuan Immortal Continent and had no reputation.

Later, this demon suddenly switched to demonic cultivation techniques and actually broke through to the half-step Nascent Soul realm.

After breaking through to the half-step Nascent Soul realm, the "Nine Nether Old Demon" committed many major crimes in the "Zhongyuan Immortal Continent," and dozens of righteous Nascent Soul cultivators died at his hands.

Because he was besieged by the righteous sects of "Zhongyuan Immortal Continent", "Nine Nether Old Demon" had no choice but to flee to "Beiming Immortal Continent" and hide there. Over the next few hundred years, this demon completely disappeared.

Until a thousand years ago, when the "Nine Netherworld Demon" reappeared, he had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, this demon infiltrated the "Zhongyuan Immortal Continent" for several months and slaughtered several Nascent Soul sects that had participated in the siege against him years ago.

Wherever he went, whether cultivators or mortals, tens of millions of souls were refined into magical treasures by the old demon.

It was so cruel that it chilled one to the bone.

In the end, it was only through the combined efforts of the two Nascent Soul Ancestors from Zhongyuan Continent that the "Nine Nether Old Demon" was severely injured and driven out of Zhongyuan Immortal Continent.

After this battle, the name "Nine Nether Old Demon" was no longer unfamiliar to cultivators throughout the Zhongyuan Immortal Continent and even the "Huayang Realm".

In the Northern Underworld Immortal Continent, the "Nine Nether Old Demon" also established the "Nine Nether Sect" and set up a lineage, gathering many disciples under his tutelage.

Upon hearing that the black-robed man before them had come to their "Nine Nether Sect," Song Qingming and the other two all showed a hint of apprehension on their faces.

If the opponent is just a late-stage Nascent Soul demon, there's nothing to worry about.

However, the situation is quite different when it involves a Nascent Soul demon cultivator. The disciple of the Nascent Soul old demon is not comparable to an ordinary demon.

Seeing that Yang Kaishan recognized his supernatural ability, the black-robed man revealed a hint of smugness and threatened the crowd:

"You do have some knowledge, being able to recognize my White Bone Demon."

If you are willing to reveal your true divine souls and submit to my command, I can give you a chance to live and introduce you to the Ancestor.

Otherwise, you'll only have yourselves to blame for your bad luck today!

"Hmph! We have cultivated to such a level, how can we casually entrust our lives to others? I think you should not waste your time."

Faced with the threat from the man in black robes, Song Qingming didn't bother to waste words with him. He took the initiative to cast a spell, activating the "Crimson Sun Divine Thunder" to transform into a thunder tiger and rush straight towards his opponent.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhixing, standing to the side, also activated a flying sword in his hand, unleashing several beams of sword light.

With pursuers still at large, they must defeat their opponents as soon as possible.

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you."

Seeing that Song Qingming and the other two were completely unmoved by his words, the man in black robes immediately cast a spell to control the "White Bone Demon" to entangle Wang Zhixing.

He himself, along with two Nascent Soul demonic creatures, engaged in battle with the attacking Song Qingming.

In addition, numerous low-level demons in the surrounding area also received orders from the man in black robes and began to attack Yang Kaishan, who was controlling the flying boat, with madness.

Yang Kaishan was seriously injured and entangled with many demons, so he was unable to break free for the time being.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhixing, who was standing to the side, did not gain any advantage after fighting the "White Bone Demon" he had summoned, and was already firmly entangled by the opponent.

This "White Bone Demon" was created by the black-robed man after killing four mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and its power is no less than that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The man in black robes brought two Nascent Soul demons with him to face Song Qingming, whose cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if the opponent could control the "Crimson Sun Divine Thunder," a divine power that counters demons, the man in black robes was confident he could defeat him.

However, after the two exchanged blows, the man in black quickly realized that something was amiss.

I thought that Song Qingming had just used a "Crimson Sun Divine Thunder" and that there shouldn't be much Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder left in his body.

Unexpectedly, the opponent raised his hand and released another ancient bronze lamp, which quickly absorbed lightning, instantly increasing the power of the crimson lightning tiger in front of him several times over.

Lei Hu opened his mouth wide and swallowed the two Nascent Soul demons into his belly.

Seeing this, the man in black robes immediately summoned a large black net.

As soon as the black net opened, dozens of black fireballs appeared in an instant, and surprisingly, human faces were hidden inside them.

The face let out a series of shrill roars, looking extremely ferocious, and pounced on the "Crimson Sun Thunder Tiger" with its claws bared and sparks flying, instantly suppressing most of its power.

This large black net is also a high-level demonic artifact refined with the divine souls of cultivators. The black-robed man has refined the divine souls of dozens of Golden Core cultivators and demon kings within it.

It was only by relying on the power of this treasure that he was able to block Song Qingming's "Crimson Sun Divine Thunder".

But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, six more figures suddenly appeared in front of Song Qingming, their cultivation auras rapidly rising to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Puppet Formation!"

Before the surprise on the black-robed man's face could disappear, Song Qingming produced another golden flying sword in his hand, emanating a powerful aura.

"This is a replica of a magical artifact!"

Seeing the powerful pressure emanating from the "Golden Cloud Light Sword" in Song Qingming's hand, the black-robed man, who had been very confident just moments before, suddenly showed a look of shock on his face.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingming, whose cultivation level was only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, actually possessed a treasure of this caliber.

"Hmph! I didn't expect you to have some background. However, I have already sent a message to the ancestor that none of you will be leaving today."

Having said that, the man in black robes suddenly cast a spell, transforming into a black beam of light and disappearing from the spot.

Before Song Qingming could investigate with his divine sense, the black-robed man appeared in mid-air hundreds of feet away from the battlefield, then turned and fled into the distance.

Seeing that the man in black robes had just uttered his harsh words and was about to run away.

While Song Qingming was somewhat surprised, a smile also flashed across his face.

He quickly used the "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape" technique, and in a few flashes, he caught up with the man in black robes. Then, he immediately unleashed several sword lights with the "Golden Palace Cloud Light Sword".

Faced with the immense power of the "Golden Cloud Light Sword," the man in black robes dared not be careless and immediately turned around to cast a spell to release black flames to defend against it.

However, the moment those black fireballs touched the sword light, they were instantly annihilated in mid-air, causing the black-robed man to lose the souls of more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators.

Before the man in black could even feel the pain, Song Qingming threw out another black sphere, which transformed into a giant black python that directly trapped the man's body.

The next moment, golden sword light streaked across the sky once more.

The white bone fan in the black-robed man's hand, along with his legs, were severed by the "Golden Cloud Light Sword".

"You dare to destroy my physical body!"

"what!"

Faced with the black-robed man's hysterical shouts, all he received in response was a continuous stream of golden sword light.

A scream rang out, and the black-robed man, along with his natal nascent soul, was annihilated in mid-air by Song Qingming.

".."

In a snow-covered mountain cave, countless miles away from the battlefield.

Two coffins were placed in the cave, and one of them suddenly began to shake.

Before long, as the coffin planks were pushed open, a young man who looked seven or eight parts similar to the black-robed cultivator sat up from inside.

At this moment, a fierce look appeared on his face, and he immediately used magic to take out a black talisman from his body.

As the black talisman turned into smoke and disappeared into the air, a voice suddenly rang out in the cave.

"Hey! Yanping, what's going on with you? Why are you suddenly using this body?"

"Reporting to Master, I encountered several Nascent Soul cultivators from Zhongyuan Prefecture in the south, one of whom was carrying a counterfeit spiritual treasure."

The disciple intended to capture them and present them to his master, but unfortunately lost to the opponent and had his physical body destroyed.

I humbly beg my master to avenge me!

"Oh, you said that person also has a counterfeit magical artifact, is that true?"

"This disciple dares not deceive Master."

After the man in black robes quickly explained, the voice came again from mid-air.

"These guys seem to be quite powerful. I'm currently in a critical period of seclusion and it's inconvenient for me to take action personally, so let them come with you!"

Remember, after you kill this man, you must bring back the replica magical artifact he possessed intact.

After the sound disappeared, a black mist suddenly appeared in the cave, and soon turned into a skeleton.

"Thank you, Master. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Upon seeing the skeleton appear, the man in black robes immediately bowed in gratitude, then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

".."

In the middle of the battlefield, after killing the man in black robes, Song Qingming, although unable to kill his primordial spirit in time, still managed to obtain the storage bag on the man's body.

At that moment, he had no time to check what was inside and immediately returned to the battlefield.

The "White Bone Demon" that was entangled with Wang Zhixing, even without its master's control, was still fighting desperately and tightly entangled with its opponent.

However, with Song Qingming joining the battlefield, the previously evenly matched battle situation changed dramatically.

Although the "White Bone Demon" struggled for a while, it was quickly killed by the combined forces of Song Qingming and Wang Zhixing.

Just as Song Qingming and his two companions broke through the dark clouds, streaks of light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, heading straight for the location of the battlefield.

Upon seeing the approaching streaks of light, Song Qingming, Yang Kaishan, and the other two immediately recognized them as the Nascent Soul Demon Emperors who had been chasing them.

Seeing this, the three dared not delay.

Yang Kaishan immediately cast a spell, maneuvering the flying boat to appear more than ten miles away.

After leaving the battlefield, the flying boat quickly transformed into a streak of light and headed southwest.

The numerous demon kings who came to pursue them saw the escape light of Song Qingming and his companions and wanted to speed up their pursuit to catch them.

But as soon as they approached the battlefield, they were immediately blocked by a dense swarm of black monsters.

After the demons had spent quite some time getting rid of their opponent,

The flying boat carrying Song Qingming and his two companions disappeared once again from the sight of the numerous demon emperors.

"Hurry and chase them, Fei Peng and his men's territory is just ahead."

If we don't catch up with them soon, and we alert the Flying Roc Clan, we'll be in trouble too. (End of Chapter)
