The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 168, Soul-Breaking Mountain
"Demon Prison?"

Hua Changxi's expression changed when he heard the two people on the city wall mention the Demon Prison.

When the No. 7 Qihuang Hall was unlocked before, the evolution history of the Four Spiritual Realms was revealed on the stone wall of the No. 7 Qihuang Hall, which included the mention of the Demon Prison.

However, the diagram of the evolutionary history of the Four Spirit Realms was drawn rather roughly and was not fully revealed. Therefore, she only knew that there was a place called "Demon Prison".

What Eunuch Lin and his group are going to do will cause instability in the Demon Prison. Could it be that the Demon Prison is nearby?

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered. Since they had followed her here, she must be going to see the Demon Prison. Moreover, the divine hammer that Eunuch Lin and the others wanted to seize should be a good magic weapon. If she was lucky, she might be able to take advantage of the situation.

The fog on Qianmen Fort's side was thicker and more eerie than anywhere else. Seeing that Eunuch Lin and others were about to be out of his sight, Hua Changxi hurriedly followed them.

However, just as she was moving towards the east of Qianmen Fort, a sharp cold wind suddenly blew from behind.

The attack came suddenly and silently. Hua Changxi narrowly avoided it. When she turned around, she found that the two people who were just on the city wall were now floating in the mist and launched another wave of attacks towards her position.

"General, no one."

Liu Chengxiong ignored the deputy general's words and looked straight in the direction of Hua Changxi. Although he couldn't see anyone, he sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

The person who was able to dodge his attack and quickly conceal his aura again must be at least a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Liu Chengxiong's mood was a little agitated at the moment. Which old monster came to Jiuyou?

When Deputy General Wan Kun saw Liu Chengxiong was silent, he asked in confusion, "General, what's wrong?"

Liu Chengxiong thought about his own situation. The man who came was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, and he must have come from a top cultivation family. He came to Qianmen Fort at this time, undoubtedly going for the divine hammer. Perhaps he could cooperate with this man.

"Tell me, how many of those people who just passed by can survive?"

Wan Kun was a little surprised that Liu Chengxiong actually cared about this. There had never been a lack of infiltrators at the nine fortresses guarding the four major formation centers of the Demon Prison, but the general had simply ignored them before.

"The Soul-Breaking Mountain Yin Wind is currently in its infancy. The Yin Wind is soul-destroying and the mountain road is difficult to walk on. I'm afraid those people won't be able to reach the center of the formation."

Liu Chengxiong laughed and said, "Don't underestimate the cultivators' methods, but it is true that Soul Breaking Mountain is dangerous. In fact, if you want to seize the divine hammer, it is better to go through Qianmen Fort instead of taking the risk of crossing Soul Breaking Mountain."

Hearing this, Wan Kun looked at Liu Chengxiong in surprise. There were demon-suppressing guards stationed in Qianmen Fort. Their purpose was to guard the safety of the array's core and prevent any intruders from passing through.

What did the general just say?
Liu Chengxiong didn't look at the deputy general, but said to himself: "In a few years, this general's term of office will be up." Without the protection of Qianmen Fort, his soul would dissipate in this world.

Hearing this, Wan Kun fell silent, and said with some sadness: "General, now that the spiritual energy has fully recovered, there must be other ways."

Liu Chengxiong sighed: "This general just wants to go to the human world to take a look again."

Seeing that there was no response in the mist, Liu Chengxiong's eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, he chose to retreat on his own initiative: "Let's go back."

Although his soul is powerful, he has no physical body. If he really wants to fight with the old monster in the Nascent Soul stage hiding in the dark, he will definitely be in trouble if the old monster knows how to attack with his soul.

His soul is already getting weaker now, so it’s better not to create unnecessary trouble.

"General, someone has come to the Xinguo Mansion again."

Just as the two flew back to the city wall, someone came outside Qianmen Fort again.

Seeing this, Liu Chengxiong was delighted, and quickly looked in the direction of Hua Changxi, thinking that if the old monster in the dark knew that the people in the Xinguo Mansion were also thinking about the divine hammer, it might be possible to promote cooperation between them as soon as possible. With the help of the Infant Realm cultivator, it would be easier to find a suitable body or reshape a new body.

"General Liu."

"Prince Gu."

In the mist, Hua Changxi watched the person flying into Qianmen Fort with an uncertain expression.

The words General Liu just said were obviously meant for her, as if he wanted to make a deal with her, but she felt a little confused.

There's no way, she knows too little.

Hua Changxi glanced at the Prince of Duke Xin who was talking to Liu Chengxiong on the city wall. He was not interested in what was happening between them. He looked in the direction where Eunuch Lin and others disappeared, and quietly followed them.

On the city wall, Prince Gu wanted to take the opportunity to enter the castle to find out what was going on, but who would have thought that Liu Chengxiong was standing on the city wall and talking to him.

Liu Chengxiong did not take Master Gu as seriously as he did the Nascent Soul cultivator who had just avoided his attack.

There is no other reason. Although the Xin Guogong Mansion is powerful, it is not as good as the long-established cultivation families.

What Liu Chengxiong was thinking was that the Xin Guo Mansion was looking for him because of the matter of the divine hammer, which was the same purpose as the Nascent Soul cultivator in the dark. They were discussing the matter openly just to make the Nascent Soul cultivator in the dark anxious.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that after Hua Changxi guessed that he could detect the fluctuations of spiritual energy, he concealed his breath and left. He also didn't expect that Hua Changxi would be a newbie who knew nothing.

According to Liu Chengxiong's idea, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage must know more about this world than others. He must know that the reason why the Demon-Suppressing Guards guarding the nine great forts can continue to exist is because of the protection of the forts, which prevents their souls from dissipating during their term of office.

His words just now revealed that he wanted to return to the human world and have a physical body. To do this, he could open Qianmen Fort and let people pass through.

Unfortunately, this was just his wishful thinking.

Hua Changxi sped through the fog for a while, and then a black stone mountain appeared in his sight, like a skyline.

"Whoo~"

The fierce cold wind kept blowing in the mountains, making people feel extremely cold. But because of the cold wind, the fog in the air was blown away.

"This should be the Soul-Breaking Mountain that those two people just mentioned."

Hua Changxi condensed a spiritual cloud and soared into the air, wanting to fly in the Soul-Breaking Mountain.

But as soon as she reached a high altitude, she shuddered, and then she was horrified to find that her body was somewhat out of control.

To be precise, the soul is frozen and can no longer control the actions of the physical body.

What shocked her even more was that she discovered that her spiritual awareness was rapidly decreasing.

The cold wind in the Soul-Breaking Mountain will weaken spiritual consciousness!
Hua Changxi suppressed his fear, quickly descended the spiritual cloud, and after stepping on the ground, there was a "boom" sound, and flames burned all over his body to drive away the cold.

Unfortunately, even if the flames leaned over, it could not alleviate the cold feeling in her soul, until she condensed a fire lotus.

Hua Changxi stood in the center of the fire lotus. Whenever a cold wind blew in, a firebird would fly out and spew out Vermillion Bird flames.

As the Suzaku flame and the Yin wind collided, a sizzling sound immediately occurred, as if something was burned to ashes.
