Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Not only Bai Yuxian and Zheng Zitong, but also many demon cultivators who were fighting with them were stunned for a moment when they saw the unfamiliar man in red robes suddenly appear in front of them.

The aura of this red-robed man was extremely powerful, seemingly even stronger than that of the other Nascent Soul cultivators present.

Although the opponent severely injured Qiu Pingshan with one blow, seemingly helping their demon clan to defeat a strong human opponent, the aura emitted by the red-robed man clearly did not indicate that he was a demon cultivator.

For a moment, they didn't know whether this person was an enemy or a friend, and they all looked a little confused.

The "red-robed man" standing opposite the crowd did not show the slightest panic on his face when he saw the many Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly appearing before him. Instead, he showed a bit of excitement.

"I'm really lucky. There are so many Nascent Soul cultivators here. It looks like I should be able to have a good meal today!"

After saying that, a red spiritual light appeared in the hand of the "red-robed man", and in front of everyone, he grabbed Qiu Pingshan's natal infant from his body.

"Fellow Taoists, save me!"

Just now in the water, Qiu Pingshan did not expect that his opponent was so powerful. He was caught off guard and the "red-robed man" hit him hard, piercing his defense. Even his Nascent Soul could not escape in time.

At this moment, his Nascent Soul was tightly grasped by the "red-robed man", and he was completely unable to escape from his opponent's red light confinement. He could only look at Bai Yuxian and the other person not far away with despair on his face.

"Thief, stop being so arrogant!"

Seeing this situation, Bai Yuxian and Zheng Zitong no longer cared about fighting with the demons, and hurriedly controlled their magic weapons to rush to the location of the "red-robed man", wanting to save Qiu Pingshan's natal infant.

However, what they didn't expect was that the sword light activated by Bai Yuxian and Zheng Zitong had just reached the front of the "red-robed man" when it was blocked by the red light released by the other party.

The next moment, before Qiu Pingshan could finish his words, his Nascent Soul was swallowed into the stomach of the "red-robed man".

"this."

The brutal scene of the "man in red robe" shocked everyone present.

No one would have expected that Qiu Pingshan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, would die so easily at the hands of the other party in the blink of an eye. This also made everyone present couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear in their eyes.

The "Iron Wall Demon King", who had just managed to escape from the hall, saw the "red-robed man" devour Qiu Pingshan's Nascent Soul, and immediately explained loudly to Bai Yuxian and the other person beside him:

“My two fellow Taoists, this demon has just killed many cultivators of my demon clan. The following commotion was deliberately created by this demon to lure us into the trap.

This demon's magical power is no weaker than that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Please join us in fighting the enemy, so that we can get rid of this disaster!"

Previously in the underwater hall, the “Iron Wall Demon King” had fought against the red-robed man but was defeated by him. He already knew how powerful the man in front of him was.

Even if the "Iron Wall Demon King" and the "Golden Horn Demon King" and other two Demon Kings join forces, they are not very confident that they can defeat each other.

For now, the only solution for the demon race is to unite with Bai Yuxian and the other two from the human race, so that they can have a chance to get rid of the person in front of them.

Bai Yuxian and Zheng Zitong were still unclear about how true or false the words of the "Iron Wall Demon King" were.

However, the powerful demonic aura of the "red-robed man" and his cruel act of devouring Qiu Pingshan's Nascent Soul have already confirmed his identity as a demonic cultivator.

No matter whether they are human or demon cultivators, they have always been disgusted by demon cultivators and want to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Moreover, the aura of the "red-robed man" in front of them was much stronger than any demon cultivator they had seen before, and was far beyond the ability of any of them to handle.

The two sides, who had been fighting fiercely just now, quickly put aside their grudges and chose to join forces to fight the enemy when faced with the sudden appearance of a powerful opponent.

Soon, the "Iron Wall Demon King", "Golden Horn Demon King", "Black Feather Demon King", Bai Yuxian, and Zheng Zitong exchanged glances and then surrounded each other.

And the "man in red robe" saw that he was tightly surrounded by the crowd, but there was still no panic on his face. Instead, he licked his lips provocatively towards everyone, as if he was still a little unsatisfied.

"Devil, suffer death!"

".."

As the "Iron Wall Demon King" took the lead in activating the long staff in his hand to launch an attack, bursts of "roars" were soon heard from the sky.

The fierce battle in which many Nascent Soul cultivators besieged the "red-robed man" was far more ferocious than the previous fight between the cultivators of the two tribes.

The aftermath of the battle between the two sides alone prevented many Jindan Demon Kings from easily approaching the battlefield.

The battle lasted for two full days, leaving countless corpses of monsters and fish near "Taiyue Lake", and the lake water below the battlefield was dyed red.

At the beginning, the five Nascent Soul cultivators including the "Iron Wall Demon King" joined forces, and with the help of many Golden Core Demon Kings, they successfully suppressed the "Red Robe Man".

But what no one expected was that after being forced into a desperate situation by everyone, this demon suddenly exploded and turned into a red monster.

The demon who turned into a red monster suddenly became stronger and caught the "Iron Wall Demon King" and others off guard, instantly turning the situation on the battlefield around.

After suffering a lot of casualties, the crowd still failed to suppress the "red-robed man" in front of them.

On the contrary, the "Iron Wall Demon King" and others, due to their lack of magic power, had gradually fallen into a disadvantage from the beginning, and almost everyone suffered a lot of injuries.

Especially the "Golden Horned Demon King" who had the weakest cultivation strength. Under the sudden outburst of the demon, he, who had already transformed, accidentally suffered heavy damage to his physical body.

Fortunately, with the previous experience of Qiu Pingshan's Nascent Soul being swallowed by the other party, the "Golden Horned Demon King" gave up his physical body in time, and his Nascent Soul hid in the tortoise shell of the "Iron Wall Demon King".

This just saved his life.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to them, Bai Yuxian and others were extremely anxious, but their faces looked somewhat helpless.

After the transformation, the "red-robed man" displayed even more powerful strength, almost surpassing the ordinary Nascent Soul ninth-level cultivator.

Even when the five of them joined forces they were still somewhat defeated, so they chose to escape separately.

Given their current state, it is likely that few of them will be able to escape the other party's pursuit, and they will also face the fate of being defeated and devoured by the "red-robed man".

Their opponent had turned into a weird "red-robed man". At this moment, as he looked at the people who were gradually suppressed by him, a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.

"If this is all you have, then from now on your Nascent Souls will all belong to me!
As for your souls, they are also great supplements for me to repair my magic weapon, so don't worry, I won't waste them."

Feeling that he had already secured victory, he was not in a hurry. While casting spells to suppress everyone, he looked at them with a slightly teasing look.

Rather than slowly defeating the four people head-on, the "red-robed man" would actually be more happy to see Bai Yu and the others unable to withstand the pressure and flee in all directions.

This way, he can quickly defeat his opponents one by one and end the battle more easily.

However, as Nascent Soul cultivators, Bai Yuxian and the others could see what the other party was thinking, and their faces remained unmoved by the threats from the "red-robed man".

However, the situation is now critical and increasingly unfavorable to everyone. Bai Yuxian and others have no idea what to do about it. They can only hope that reinforcements can arrive quickly to help.

Just when everyone was facing tremendous pressure, the "Iron Wall Demon King", who had the highest level of cultivation on the battlefield, suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Everyone, it seems someone is coming from the east!"

Hearing the shout of "Iron Wall Demon King", Bai Yuxian and others hurriedly looked to the east, and saw several beams of light in the distant sky quickly approaching the battlefield.

"This is a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Seeing the incredibly fast speed of the escaping light in the distance, which did not seem to be something a Jindan cultivator could possess, everyone felt that it must be reinforcements that had arrived, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

Not long after, several beams of light fell directly from mid-air and transformed into three familiar figures.

"Junior Brother Song! It's really you."

"This is a demon in the late Nascent Soul stage. It's strange, how could there be such a powerful demon cultivator here?"

After confirming that the person in front of them was Song Qingming who had just rushed back, as well as the two supreme elders of "Xingchen Sect" He Wuyou and Ye Linyuan, Bai Yuxian and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Song Qingming and the other two were all surprised when they saw the tragic scene before them, as well as Bai Yuxian and others who were suppressed by the "red-robed man".

It was unexpected that the human and demon cultivators, who had always been enemies of each other, would now join forces to fight the enemy, and it was even more unexpected that someone would force them into such a desperate situation.

After noticing that something was wrong with Gu Daoyun's self-destructive Nascent Soul that day, Song Qingming and others discussed it together and decided to split up into two groups.

He Wuyou, Song Qingming and Ye Linyuan returned to the "Jiuyuan Sect" of Yue State first, and tried to find the trace of "Xueling Sect" through the clue of Wudongquan.

Wang Yan, Yang Fengyu, Li Mufeng and Chen Yunxiao stayed behind to continue searching for Gu Daoyun's traces in the vicinity in case the other party had any other tricks up his sleeve.

Unexpectedly, when Song Qingming and his two companions were traveling near Pei State, they suddenly learned that a secret realm had appeared in "Taiyue Lake".

Song Qingming and the other two knew that Bai Yuxian and Zheng Zitong were going to "Taiyue Lake". They were worried that Bai Yuxian and Zheng Zitong would suffer a loss when facing the demon clan, so they turned around and came to help.

However, they did not expect that the choice made by the three people by accident would lead them to witness such a thrilling scene.

Seeing that the opponent was a strange demon cultivator with considerable strength, and that Bai Yuxian and the others were in a precarious situation, Song Qingming and the other two did not hesitate too much, and directly took out their magic weapons and joined the battle. With the arrival of reinforcements, Bai Yuxian and the others, who had already been forced into a desperate situation by the other party, immediately turned danger into safety and stabilized their position.

When he first saw Song Qingming and the other two coming to support him in time, the "red-robed man" was a little surprised, but he didn't seem to care too much.

After all, among the three of them, except He Wuyou whose cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, the remaining Song Qingming and Ye Linyuan were only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

The "red-robed man" didn't take them seriously at all and thought he would have a chance to devour a few more Nascent Soul cultivators.

But what the "red-robed man" did not expect was that after Song Qingming and the other two joined the battle, the strength they displayed far exceeded his expectations.

Seeing that his opponent was extremely powerful and far superior to an ordinary demon cultivator, Song Qingming did not hold back too much. He directly used the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array" and instantly increased his combat power to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul.

As for He Wuyou, in order to deal with Gu Daoyun, he also brought the sect's treasure "Canglang Ruler" on this trip.

With this fourth-grade magic weapon and his Nascent Soul sixth-level peak cultivation, He Wuyou's strength is already equivalent to that of most Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators.

After joining the battlefield, he displayed a fierce offensive, which instantly posed a great threat to the "man in red robe" and forced his opponent to retreat again and again.

Although Ye Linyuan had just formed his infant form not long ago, his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul level.

However, as he was originally a casual cultivator, his experience in fighting was not much weaker than that of other Nascent Soul cultivators present. After joining the battle, he quickly demonstrated his impressive strength.

After fighting for only a few dozen rounds, the "red-robed man" soon sensed something was wrong, and his face became a little ugly for a moment.

I thought that it would take only one or two hours to deal with Bai Yuxian and others, but I didn't expect that at this critical moment, the other party would receive such a powerful reinforcement, which instantly turned the situation around again.

Feeling that the situation was not good, he finally decided to give up the fight and evacuate first.

But at this moment, Song Qingming and others had witnessed how powerful the other party was, so how could they easily let go of this devil in front of them? They all struggled hard to entangle the "red-robed man" and prevent him from escaping.

After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, the "red-robed man" tried to escape several times but failed, and a look of anger appeared on his face.

The "red-robed man" who was forced into danger by the crowd, made up his mind and detonated the red spiritual light on his body on the spot, which enabled him to repel the crowd. He then used a secret method to escape from the spot with half of his body.

Song Qingming and others chased him all the way out of "Taiyue Lake", but ultimately they were unable to catch the seriously injured "red-robed man".

In order to defeat the "Red Robe Man", a powerful demon in the late Nascent Soul stage, the human cultivators and the "Taiyue Lake" demons paid a huge price and suffered heavy losses.

On the demon side, not only did more than twenty Jindan Demon Kings die in the battle, but even the "Golden Horned Demon Emperor" had his physical body destroyed and only his Nascent Soul escaped.

On the "Black Feather Demon King" side, was injured by the "Red Aura" that was finally detonated by the opponent, and they were also seriously injured. After the battle, they immediately retreated to their own water palaces to heal their wounds and were unable to participate in the pursuit of the enemy.

Only the "Iron Wall Demon King" with the highest level of cultivation, relying on the powerful defensive tortoise shell magic weapon on his body, blocked most of the opponent's attacks, and only showed some minor injuries on his body.

Compared with the demon clan which suffered heavy losses, the human clan also lost a Nascent Soul cultivator, Qiu Pingshan, in battle.

Bai Yuxian and Zheng Zitong were also seriously injured in the battle.

Zheng Zitong's body was damaged in the battle and a part of his hand was cut off by the red light magical power of the "red robe man".

When the opponent detonated the "Red Aura", Bai Yuxian used her own life-saving magic weapon, the "Green Jade Lotus", to resist the impact, causing the life-saving magic weapon to be severely damaged and also contaminated with a lot of demonic energy.

Although both of them survived the battle, they also temporarily lost their ability to fight and could only return to the sect to recuperate.

In the end, only Song Qingming, He Wuyou and a few others were left on the battlefield. Together with the demon king "Iron Wall Demon King", they came to the underwater cave, trying to find clues about the big devil "the man in red robe".

Because they had come here once before, under the leadership of the "Iron Wall Demon King", they arrived at the hall where the "Giant Bronze Tripod" was placed without much effort.

Looking at the dried corpses of demon cultivators all over the ground, and the "Old Demon Cang Yun" who had already died in the giant cauldron, Song Qingming and others were surprised for a moment.

They didn't expect that these high-level magic monks who caused them so much headaches in the outside world would all die here.

After carefully looking around, He Wuyou, who had already guessed what had happened in the hall, spoke softly to everyone:

“If I am not mistaken, this place should be a sealed place built by ancient monks.

When the old demon Cang Yun and others came here, they probably mistook this place for a demon cave and wanted to seek opportunities here, so they accidentally released the demon and caused him to suffer.

The noise on the lake before should be the warning restriction triggered when they opened the seal, which is why you all mistakenly thought it was the emergence of a secret realm."

"Fellow Daoist He, are you saying that this place is a sealed place built by ancient monks? Why have I never heard of this in my ten thousand years of living here?"

Seeing the puzzled look on the face of the "Iron Wall Demon King" beside him, He Wuyou quickly opened his mouth to continue explaining:

“It’s been tens of thousands of years since the ancient monks sealed the demon. At that time, our Taiyue Lake was just a barren land with little spiritual energy and few living creatures.

It is not surprising that Fellow Daoist Tiebi has never heard of this matter.

To be honest, if I hadn’t come here in person today, I wouldn’t have believed that there was such an ancient sealed place hidden right under our noses.

It seems that the origin of that demon is indeed not simple. We failed to kill him this time, and we don’t know what disasters he will bring to the world of immortal cultivation in the future.”

Song Qingming, who was standing aside, also looked at the empty "giant bronze tripod".

From the moment he first came in and saw the tripod, he always felt inexplicably familiar with it, as if he had seen something similar somewhere.

It was not until He Wuyou mentioned the ancient sealed place that Song Qingming suddenly remembered that this "giant bronze tripod" seemed to be somewhat similar to the giant tripod he had seen in the back mountain of "Taixu Gate" that year.

Not only do the colors look similar, the runes on them are also somewhat similar.

The only major difference is that the "giant bronze tripod" in Taixu Gate is obviously much larger than the one he sees in front of him, at least twice as large.

Although there is some difference in size, they all appeared in the sealed area. At this moment, Song Qingming instantly believed He Wuyou's guess.

This place should be the sealed land left by the ancient monks. The "red-robed man" who escaped with serious injuries may also be an ancient true demon if nothing unexpected happens.

However, for some unknown reason, the strength displayed by this ancient true demon when fighting with them seemed to be only at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Such strength is totally different from that of the devil he had met in "Taixu Sect".

Because it involved the matter of "Taixu Sect", although Song Qingming had some guesses in his mind, he did not tell everyone.

He just nodded calmly to He Wuyou, agreeing with his point of view.

After knowing that this was a sealed place left by ancient monks, He Wuyou and others checked it thoroughly and found nothing was missed, so they sealed the entrance first.

I plan to go back and look through the sect's ancient books to see if I can find any records related to the sealed place and find out the origin of this demon.

More than half a month later, Wang Yan, Li Mufeng and others, who received the shocking news of the "Taiyue Lake", immediately rushed back from the "Duanyun Mountains".

Everyone joined together again to investigate the sealed place. Unexpectedly, this time Wang Yan actually used the demonic energy in his hand to find the remaining breath of Gu Dao Yun in the hall. They guessed that this demon should have died here as well.

As for the "Blood Demon Ancestor", no trace of him was found. Only a few "Blood Spirit Sect" disciples who had died tragically were found in the hall.

Upon learning that all the great demon masters he had spent years searching for had died in "Taiyue Lake" at once, Wang Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

After returning to the sect and reading many books, He Wuyou also found some information about the sealed place of "Taiyue Lake".

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the entire "Floating Cloud Mountains" was still the territory of human cultivators, the immortal cultivation world here was also a prosperous place, not much worse than the immortal cultivation world of the "Donghuang Kingdom".

Later, the immortal cultivation world of the "Floating Cloud Mountains" was invaded by demons, and the human cultivators were forced to migrate south, and came to the vicinity of the present-day "Taiyue Lake" to cultivate spiritual veins and pass on their sect.

During the heyday of the "Floating Cloud Mountains" in ancient times, the place was also governed by a powerful sect called the "Nanyue Sect".

When the Demon Sect in the upper realm sent real demons to invade this world, the cultivators of the "Nanyue Sect" also led many sects in the Floating Cloud Mountains to participate in the fight against the demon invasion.

The "sealed place" discovered by Song Qingming and his team was most likely built at that time.

However, after the decline of the "Nanyue Sect" ten thousand years ago, it split into several small sects, and much of the information about this sect has been lost and cannot be verified.

Fortunately, among the ancestors of the "Xingchen Sect", there happened to be an old ancestor who split from the "Nanyue Sect" and left some records in the sect about their construction of the sealed place.

It was also through these materials that He Wuyou found out that this demon was named "Chiyuan Holy Demon" and was indeed a great demon from the Demon Sect in the upper realm.

After the demons were defeated, the "Red Yuan Holy Demon" was suppressed here by the ancestors of the human race. It has been tens of thousands of years since then.

I just don’t know why, after so many years, this demon is still alive and was released by Gu Daoyun and others who accidentally found this place.

Although these demonic monks had long since died, they also left a huge disaster for the immortal cultivation world of the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range". (End of this chapter)
