Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 985 Demon Sect Inheritance, Breaking the Ban

After muttering to himself while sitting there, Gu Daoyun immediately stood up and walked out of the cave where he was.

Outside the stone cave is an extremely tall hall.

There are dozens of stone caves similar to the one behind Gu Daoyun nearby, extending in all directions and distributed on the mountain walls around the hall.

After carefully looking around, Gu Daoyun moved directly to the entrance of a cave above.

"Friend Gu, what is it that has you looking for me so urgently?"

Before Gu Daoyun took a few steps into the cave, a voice was heard from inside the cave, and then a figure came directly in front of the other person.

"Hey! Wu Jiuyuan?"

Seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, Gu Daoyun, who had originally had a calm expression, suddenly changed his expression and looked at the other person with some vigilance.

Upon seeing this, "Wu Jiuyuan" smiled slightly, and then a flash of light appeared on his body and his appearance changed.

The next moment, "Wu Jiuyuan" standing in front of Gu Daoyun suddenly transformed into another young man.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Gu, I can now fully control this body.

Although we are not as good as we were in our heyday, we are still about 70% sure that we can cast a spell to break the restriction. As long as we wait for the old demon Cang Yun to arrive, we can act at any time."

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the other party's mouth, Gu Daoyun's expression slowly returned to normal, and he spoke:

"Wang Yan and his men have discovered our movements and found my hiding place."

"What? They found us so quickly. It seems that our attack on Wu Jiuyuan really angered Wang Yan and the others."

Hearing this, Gu Daoyun nodded slightly and said, "After so many years of being a Taoist priest, they have been living in peace for a long time and have long forgotten our existence.

In order to lure them away this time, I even gave up my external incarnation that I had cultivated for many years. This should be able to hold them back for a while.

Next, it depends on breaking the restriction, it depends on you, fellow Taoist."

“I am 70% to 80% sure that I can break the restriction, but the old demon Cang Yun has not arrived yet. Should we wait for him?

If he were missing, it would take a lot more effort for you and me to break the ban."

"This old fellow hasn't shown up in such a long time. I think he has changed his mind and doesn't dare to come.

Forget it. Now that I have finally diverted the attention of Wang Yan and others, there is no need to wait for him as this opportunity is rare.

Otherwise, if all the righteous sects react and find us here, we might be hindered by them."

"Hahaha, Brother Gu, what you said is a bit unpleasant to hear.

I have always kept my word over the years. When have I ever promised you anything and changed my mind at the last minute? "

Just as Gu Daoyun finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter coming from a cave in the other direction of the hall, followed by a dozen figures flying in from the cave entrance.

These people were wearing black robes, and each of them had cultivation above the Golden Core realm.

The leader was a bald old man with a cane, whose cultivation had reached the fifth level of Nascent Soul. Upon seeing Gu Daoyun and the other two in front of him, he immediately walked over with a smile.

Seeing the person coming in front of them, who was the person they had just been talking about, Gu Daoyun and the young man standing next to him immediately had a smile on their faces.

"Old ghost Cang Yun, I haven't seen you for so many years. I thought you were not going to come out again in this lifetime."

"Haha! How can I refuse Brother Gu's cordial invitation?

But nowadays, our lives are not easy. If I am not careful, I may end up like Mo Yunting, being forced to leave home and have to go far away. "

After "Old Demon Cang Yun" responded, his gaze turned to the young man not far away, and a smile with a hint of meaning appeared on his face.

"Could this be Brother Blood Demon?"

"I never thought that you could survive the siege by so many righteous monks in the Fantasy Desert. I really admire you."

Hearing the tentative tone in the other party's voice, the "Blood Demon Ancestor" said calmly: "Daoyou Cang Yun, your words are a bit of a compliment to me.

Since we have reached the Nascent Soul stage, who among us does not have some magical power to preserve our lives? Why do we need such praise from you, fellow Taoist?

If I have to say admiration, fellow Taoist Gu and I are somewhat impressed by your ability to hide. He has been able to remain safe and sound despite being searched by righteous monks for so many years.

If I have the chance later, I would like to ask for advice from you, fellow Taoist."

Seeing that the tone of the two people talking seemed a little strange, Gu Daoyun, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up to persuade them:

"Haha! I think you two don't need to say these unpleasant words anymore.

Over the years, we, the evil cultivators, have been besieged by the righteous sects and can only hide in this dark and damp place to survive. It is simply because we are not strong enough that we are able to suppress our opponents.

As long as we can successfully open this restriction and obtain the inheritance of the Demon Sect from the upper realm, these humiliations will be repaid to them sooner or later.

By then, not only the Floating Cloud Mountains, but the entire East Phoenix Continent may surrender to us."

Hearing the excitement on Gu Daoyun's face when he spoke, the two great demon masters "Cang Yun Old Demon" and "Chi Xue Old Demon" standing beside him also showed some excitement.
-
On the high mountain in the southeast corner of the "Floating Cloud Mountains".

A white light flew from the sky and then landed directly on an open space on the top of the mountain.

Seeing Song Qingming and Ye Linyuan getting off the flying boat, Li Mufeng, Wang Yan and others who were waiting there hurried over to greet them.

"Junior Brother Song!"

"Brother Li, Fellow Daoist Wang, how is it going here? Have you found any trace of Gu Daoyun?"

Seeing the rocks flying around the top of the mountain, obvious signs of a battle, Song Qingming stepped forward, saluted, and asked hurriedly.

Li Mufeng smiled and said softly, "Yesterday, Daoist Wang led us to raid this place, found Gu Daoyun, and successfully killed him here.

However, this demon chose to self-destruct his Nascent Soul at the last moment, and we have not yet captured his true soul.

Daoyou He and his men are still leading people to search the surroundings. There is no news yet, and it is not certain whether the demon died here or not."

"He self-destructed his Nascent Soul. This demon is as powerful as a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. He was so decisive that he even gave up his own Nascent Soul?"

Song Qingming and Ye Linyuan, who had just arrived, were stunned when they heard the news that Gu Daoyun had been killed and even his Nascent Soul had self-destructed.

Some people also didn't expect that this great devil who had been so powerful for a thousand years would be eliminated by their side so quickly.

Although the other party's original soul has not been found yet, it is very likely that he can be reborn by taking over another body.

However, since he has lost his physical body, even if his soul can escape successfully, his cultivation will inevitably be greatly reduced after taking over another body, and he will definitely not be able to make any waves in a short period of time.

After greeting Li Mufeng, Song Qingming quickly turned around and looked at Wang Yan who was standing beside him, but saw that he did not say a word and seemed to be lost in thought.

Seeing this, Song Qingming first stepped forward and saluted, then smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Wang is indeed very smart, there are indeed people in the Jiuyuan Sect who colluded with the demon cultivators and leaked Fellow Daoist Wu's whereabouts in advance.

We have brought this person here.

According to his account, those evil cultivators had indeed planned this in advance, and they had started planning this more than ten years ago.

We also found some things related to the Blood Spirit Sect on him. I'm afraid that it's not just Gu Daoyun who is involved in this matter. The Blood Spirit Sect is probably also involved."

"Blood Spirit Sect, could it be the old Blood Demon?"

Hearing Song Qingming mention the Blood Spirit Sect, Wang Yan, who was standing aside, suddenly came to his senses and instinctively thought of the Blood Demon Ancestor who was surrounded and killed by them in the "Fantasy Sea Desert".

Most of the demonic cultivators above the Jindan level will leave themselves some life-saving tricks.

Either they prepare in advance to take over the body, or they plant restrictions on their disciples to use at the critical moment to take over the body.

Although in the battle of "Fantasy Sea Desert" that year, Song Qingming, Wang Yan and others successfully surrounded and killed the "Blood Demon Ancestor".

But they also knew that a Nascent Soul demon like the "Blood Demon Ancestor" who had been famous for many years would definitely leave some tricks up his sleeve.

When they learned that this matter might be related to the "Blood Spirit Sect", whether it was Song Qingming or Wang Yan, the first person that came to their mind was still the Nascent Soul demon "Blood Demon Ancestor".

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan turned his gaze to Wu Dongquan who was standing blankly beside him.

"Has this person told me everything he knows?"

"Friend Ye and I have already questioned him carefully on the way here. He doesn't know the specific identities of those demon cultivators, and he doesn't know much."

Hearing Song Qingming's answer, Wang Yan nodded slightly and said, "When I killed Gu Daoyun yesterday, I also felt something was wrong.

When this demon fought with me two hundred years ago, his cultivation had already recovered to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, and his fighting strength was close to that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

But this time, after being surrounded by us, the opponent didn't seem to put up much resistance and died in our hands. This was obviously not the strength that a peak demon in the middle Nascent Soul stage should have.

Moreover, he did not use Gu Daoyun's mid-Nascent Soul puppet, so the encirclement and suppression of this demon was indeed too smooth."

Seeing Wang Yan in a state of confusion, Li Mufeng, who was standing not far away, responded softly:

“Fellow Daoist Wang, you and I were both present at the battle yesterday, and that person was clearly Gu Daoyun, so there should be no mistake.

Could it be that he was injured in the previous battle with Fellow Daoist Wu, which caused his strength to suddenly drop? "

"Well, what Brother Li said makes sense. Let's wait for Brother He and the others to come back, and then we can discuss it!" After hearing this, Wang Yan, who was standing in place, thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

".."
-
A few days later, in an extremely dark underground cave.

Under the leadership of Gu Daoyun, "Blood Demon Ancestor" and "Cang Yun Old Demon", dozens of demon monks were slowly moving forward in a narrow passage.

This passage was extremely narrow and only one person tall, and it was dark and damp all around, with a lot of water stains accumulated underground. Even though they were all magic monks who were used to living in the dark, facing this very depressing environment, many people still found it difficult to bear and frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, how far is the place you mentioned? How come we have been walking for so long but still can't sense any demonic energy nearby?"

Hearing the somewhat anxious questioning voice of "Old Demon Cang Yun" behind him, Gu Daoyun, who was walking in front, immediately replied:

"Fellow Daoist Cang Yun, don't be so anxious, we will be there soon.

Don't worry, brother. If I wasn't sure about something, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to deliberately lure you here.

In order to get the two Taoist friends to help, I have already spent a lot of money this time. I hope you two will not let me down later."

As soon as Gu Daoyun finished speaking, the "Blood Demon Ancestor" standing behind him immediately spoke with confidence:

“Don’t worry, fellow Daoist Gu. I have lived for so many years and have seen many ancient restrictions. As long as it is confirmed to be the same as what you said, I will definitely find a way to help you open the restrictions inside.

When the time comes and you receive the inheritance, I hope you won’t forget your promise to us.”

Hearing the confident words of the "Blood Demon Ancestor", Gu Daoyun's expression changed slightly and he nodded quickly:

“Brother Blood Demon is right. If you were not very knowledgeable about these ancient prohibitions, I would not have specially invited you here.

As long as we work together, we will surely accomplish great things. From now on, the Floating Cloud Mountains will be our Demonic World!"

Hearing the conversation between the Yuanying ancestors in front, the Jindan demon cultivators standing behind also showed some excitement.

Just as Gu Daoyun was talking to the two Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, the passage ahead soon came to an end.

Under the leadership of Gu Daoyun, everyone passed through the cave and the road ahead suddenly became clear. They soon arrived at a large hall that was more than ten meters in radius.

The hall was empty all around, with only dozens of piles of rocks in the middle, many of which had collapsed.

After arriving here, Gu Daoyun immediately stopped.

The "Blood Demon Ancestor" standing behind him was instantly attracted by the piles of rocks appearing in front of him, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, could these be forbidden magic arrays left behind by ancient cultivators?"

Hearing the doubtful voice from the "Blood Demon Ancestor", Gu Daoyun nodded and said, "As expected of Brother Blood Demon, you can see at a glance that these restrictions are extraordinary.

When I first found this place, the restrictions had not yet been broken, and it took me several decades to finally get through here."

“I only cracked a portion of these restrictions back then, so you must follow my steps closely.

Otherwise, once you touch the restriction, you may not survive this level."

After Gu Daoyun finished speaking, he looked at the people behind him with a sharp gaze, and then strode forward.

Seeing this, the "Blood Demon Ancestor" did not say much, but directly followed quickly with a few people behind him.

As for the "Old Demon Cang Yun", he waited until they had walked some distance before he nodded gently to the many disciples beside him and followed them.

Gu Daoyun walked very slowly. He would stop and observe carefully every few dozen steps before he dared to move forward. He seemed to be quite afraid of the rocks beside him.

The Jindan demon cultivators who followed the three Nascent Soul cultivators had never seen these strange things, and there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

However, the three Nascent Soul ancestors were right in front of them, so they did not dare to move around casually. They just followed Gu Daoyun and the others obediently.

After a short while, they successfully passed through these rocky restrictions and arrived at a flat ground made of huge green bricks.

The space here is slightly smaller than the previous piles of rocks, but there are also many statues carved from stones.

However, the heads of these statues were all broken, and many of their pillars had even fallen down, with broken stones scattered all over the ground.

Seeing that everyone had arrived here, they did not dare to move forward and all their eyes were fixed on him.

Gu Daoyun smiled slightly and led the way forward.

"Don't worry! I have already destroyed all the restrictions here. There is no danger."

".."

Seeing this scene, "Old Demon Cang Yun" and others on the side showed a trace of displeasure on their faces, but they did not say much and immediately followed quickly.

After passing a flat ground, everyone soon arrived at a stone temple.

At this time, there were traces of artificial excavation all around, and the walls and the ground were covered with stone bricks. It was no longer the ugly appearance of those caves outside when we came here.

There are still some ancient rune patterns carved on the walls of the stone hall, but they seem to be quite old and many of them have become blurred and badly damaged.

Following Gu Daoyun forward, they were soon blocked by a ditch ahead on the road.

The ditch in the middle of the road was only two feet wide, and it looked like an ordinary mortal could easily cross it, but Gu Daoyun, a Nascent Soul cultivator, stopped directly in front of it.

Seeing this, "Old Demon Cang Yun" immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu, is this the place where the Demon Sect of the Upper Realm is inherited that you mentioned?"

Gu Daoyun shook his head slightly when he heard this: "This is the last restriction. Only after passing this level can we find the inheritance we want."

Hearing what Gu Daoyun said, the "Blood Demon Ancestor" immediately waved his hand and summoned two black shadows.

Immediately under his command and control, the two "blood corpse puppets" immediately stepped forward quickly and flew forward from two directions.

But the next moment, the "Blood Corpse Puppet" had just arrived in front of the deep ditch when it saw a black light suddenly appear in front of it.

Immediately afterwards, several lightning flashes passed by, and the two "blood corpse puppets" released by the Blood Demon Ancestor were directly shattered on the spot by the green lightning, and then turned into blood and fell into the deep ditch.

Although the two "blood corpse puppets" he had just released were not at a high level and were only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, the "Blood Demon Ancestor" still sensed the power of the lightning through the puppet. The power of the "blue lightning" in the restriction was obviously enough to threaten them, the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Seeing this, Gu Daoyun on the side immediately explained: "Brother Blood Demon, I have also tried to force my way through before.

But this restriction is really powerful, and it somewhat restrains my magic skills, causing me to almost lose my life in front of it several times.

If I hadn't really had no other options, I wouldn't have thought of asking you two Taoist friends to come here to help."

“Don’t worry, I have the blueprints of this place. After you pass this level, the main hall where the Demon Sect’s inheritance is hidden is not far away.

As you have all seen along the way, this place was definitely not built by an ordinary cultivator. I have not deceived you two fellow Taoists in any way."

After listening to Gu Daoyun's explanation, the "Blood Demon Ancestor" on the side immediately nodded slightly and said:
“Fellow Daoist Gu is right. This restriction was indeed built by an ancient cultivator. It is not something that an ordinary person can set up.

Judging from the scene here, it is estimated that it has been at least tens of thousands of years.

If I am not mistaken, this is most likely a relic left behind by the Demon Sect of the Upper Realm when they invaded. No one except the Demon Sect monks of this world can come up with something like this."

“If this is really a relic left by the Demon Sect from the upper realm, that would be great.

If we can obtain the inheritance inside, maybe we can have a chance to find the passage they used to go to the lower world, and maybe we can sneak into the upper world in the future."

After hearing the analysis of Gu Daoyun and the "Blood Demon Ancestor", the "Cang Yun Old Demon" standing aside suddenly showed a hint of excitement in his eyes.

But Gu Daoyun immediately shook his head and said, "Haha, brother Cang Yun, don't be too happy too soon.

Although we have found this place, we still need to break the barrier before we can enter.

Whether it is the inheritance of the Demon Sect or something else hidden inside, we have to wait until we pass this level before we can find out."

"Hmph! Fellow Daoist Gu, I have to say that you have found the right person this time. As long as the two Daoists can fully cooperate, I will definitely find a way to break this restriction."

"Oh! If that's the case, then just give us your orders, Blood Demon brother!"

Hearing that the "Blood Demon Ancestor" seemed to be quite confident in breaking the ban, Gu Daoyun hurriedly flattered him, but his tone was still obviously a little uncertain.

Seeing this, the "Blood Demon Ancestor", who also heard the other party's attitude, did not mind too much.

Looking at the deep ditch ahead, he took out several black flags from his body.

".."

Half a month later, with a roar coming from the front, a circular gap suddenly appeared in the "blue lightning" floating in the void, and then a bloody skeleton with only half of its head left suddenly flew out from it.

The next moment, the bloody skeleton that had just passed through the lightning suddenly disappeared in mid-air, and more than a dozen figures fell quickly from above.

He glanced at the blue barrier behind him that was still flashing with lightning. Gu Daoyun, who had several scars on his body after landing, turned around and said with a smile without caring about his injuries:
“Hahaha, you are worthy of being called Brother Blood Demon. You can actually think of this method to break through this restriction. We really made the right bet this time.”

"Haha! As the saying goes, wealth and honor come from risk. If we don't even have this little bit of courage, how can we be worthy of this great opportunity?"

The "Blood Demon Ancestor" and the "Cang Yun Demon" on the side were also in a state of disarray after they landed on the ground. Many parts of their bodies were turned into a burnt yellow color by the lightning.

Even more miserable than them were the Jindan demon cultivators who followed them.

After being baptized by lightning, not only were the number of people reduced by half, but the remaining people were all seriously injured.

After landing, they had no time to be happy. They quickly took the medicine and began to sit cross-legged to heal their wounds.

Looking at the disciples who were so seriously injured, the anxious "Old Demon Cang Yun" immediately said:

"Stay here and heal your wounds first, and don't go forward."

After giving an order to everyone, the three Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators ignored their injuries and walked directly to the hall in front.

Soon they came to the depths of the hall and saw a "giant bronze tripod" suspended in the air by iron chains.
