This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 118: Monks have no worldly desires

Wenyang Ancient Town.

Located 200 miles east of Killing Mountain, it belongs to the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Demon Cult. A team of demon soldiers is stationed there all year round. Except for human slaves, most of the people in the city are demons.

After a bloody battle during the day, all the demons in Wenyang Ancient Town were killed. As night fell, the bloody atmosphere remained unabated, and ominous winds blew everywhere, as if the cold moon was also painted with a touch of red light.

The battle between humans and demons is so bloody. Either you die or I die. The blood feud is irreconcilable and there is no possibility of shaking hands and making peace.

This is even more true from the perspective of the human race. During the chaotic times of the four great demons, the human race lived worse than pigs and dogs and experienced countless tragedies. Now that they have finally turned the tide, the butcher knives in their hands will only become sharper.

There is only one left of the human race and the demon race, and this is the theme of the Dragon Subduing Realm.

The ancient town of Wenyang was captured jointly by the Emei and Wudang sects. The two sects designated this place as their base camp for their rendezvous, waiting for the eight major sects to gather and attack the Killing Mountain together.

Although there are eight major sects, there are also countless people from the martial arts world who come to join the war, each of them with the determination to die. Killing one will break even, killing two will make a big profit. With everyone's will, the army's morale is strong.

At this time in the ancient town of Wenyang, excluding the wounded, there were still 500 human beings available. When the large force joined, the number of people would easily exceed a thousand.

The siege of Killing Mountain by the eight major sects was never a dispute between the martial arts circles, but a war between humans and demons.

Back to the topic, a ghostly black shadow took advantage of the darkness to avoid the patrol checkpoints, found the Emei Sect mark, and sneaked into a courtyard like the wind.

Towards the distance.

With the Thirteen Changes of Dark Wind and Ghostly Fog + Xiao's Breath-Concealing Technique, his figure disappeared without a trace, and he was truly like a ghost.

By the way, the laws of heaven and earth in the Dragon-Subduing Realm do not support the existence of ghosts, and there are no monsters. If it weren't for the four demons that descended from the sky, there would only be humans here.

Xiang Yuan closed his eyes and sensed that there were long breaths in the nearby rooms. The disciples of Emei Sect were all resting. Only the room at the end was silent, as if no one was there.

The master is very capable!
Xiang Yuan nodded secretly, slipped to the window like a thief, looked around, pushed the window open carefully, and slipped in.

Just as he turned around, before he had time to rub his hands, a long sword was placed on his shoulder.

"Master, it's me."

Xiang Yuan pushed the long sword on his shoulder away and, with the help of the dim moonlight coming in from the window, presented his playful smile in front of Master Bai Yue.

It's so spicy, it makes me want to try it.

Nun Bai Yue stared at Xiang Yuan steadily. Although she had moved her sword away, she remained on guard. The meaning was simple. The demons were good at disguising themselves and changing their appearance. How could you prove that you were yourself?

Xiang Yuan knew what the other party meant, and said, "I know that Master misses men, and can't sleep at night, so I came here specially to help you solve your problems."

Master Bai Yue's face darkened. Don't hit people in the face, don't expose their weaknesses when scolding them. It would be pointless to keep harping on this trivial matter.

Also, I said that the bottle contained the soul-forgetting powder, not well water. She is a nun and has no worldly desires!

Xiang Yuan proved his identity with one sentence, and by the way, he said something to Master Bai Yue. He was in a good mood and whispered, "I got some important information in Killing Mountain. I dare not delay and come here to tell you. Whether the eight major sects can win this battle depends on how you use the information, Master."

"What information is it?"

"Come on, squat down and talk."

Xiang Yuan glanced at the window next to him to prevent any news from leaking out, and asked Master Bai Yue to squat down and talk.

Nun Bai Yue didn't take it seriously. She had suffered many losses at the hands of Xiang Yuan and knew that he could be a little erratic occasionally, so she just squatted there and waited for him to speak.

The meeting was confidential, but he was very considerate and moved closer to Xiang Yuan.

"Nun, you're too close. If the poison in that bottle of well water is still there, I advise you to recite the sutra a few more times. This will better cure the problem." Xiang Yuan politely took a step back, never forgetting to get his interest back.

Nun Bai Yue pretended not to hear. She had suffered losses and learned lessons before, so she knew that Xiang Yuan was not a mean person. If she talked back at this time, he would hold a grudge against her.

Sure enough, seeing that she was silent, Xiang Yuan started to get to the point.

"The five demon relics were obtained by the two emissaries on the left and right. They both wanted to be the leader of the sect and no one would submit to the other. They were afraid of being ambushed by the other, so no one dared to refine them for the time being."

"There is a secret passage that leads directly to the Heavenly King Palace. It can avoid many natural dangers and reach the halfway point of the main peak of the Killing Mountain. The Heavenly King Palace is the heartland of the Heavenly Demon Sect. There are a lot of food and grass hidden in the secret passage. I walked through it before I came here and confirmed that it was correct. You write down the route..."

"The two envoys of the Heavenly Demon Cult and the four Dharma Kings are all in Killing Mountain. The four short peaks and the main peak are in harmony. If one side is in trouble, the other four will come to its aid. With countless food and grass, a strong attack will only result in heavy casualties..."

Xiang Yuan explained the several natural dangers on the main peak of the Killing Mountain: "My origins are unknown. You can trust me, but others may not. If they don't want to take the secret path, you can tell them about these natural dangers one by one. With their precautions, they can also reduce losses."

"Young man, you have obtained such important information during your trip. It is dangerous here. I can imagine how much you have suffered." Nun Bai Yue was extremely impressed.

"It's okay. She seems to be patient and tolerant, but in fact, she just took a look..."

Xiang Yuan complained that the leather jacket was really outrageous.

Thanks to the relics of the demon girl of the Disillusionment Dao, she did not forget to leave an opportunity before leaving. Otherwise, if he wanted to gather information, he would most likely become a fellow cultivator with the Demon Minion and the Demon Luo.

"It's easy for you to say it, young man. I'm afraid it's not as simple as enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens."

Nun Bai Yue was grateful and said frankly, "Don't worry, young man. I will never neglect the information you have obtained by risking your life. I have some prestige in the eight major sects and can persuade a few masters to follow me through the secret path."

Nun Bai Yue didn't dare to make any guarantees, as the information was too outrageous. If she told it rashly, she would be suspected of being a lackey of the demon clan. She could only rely on her reputation and invite a few righteous people who trusted her to join her.

There are not many people, but they are all masters. Together with all the members of Emei Sect, they can fight all the way down from the Palace of Heavenly Kings and then meet up with the masters of the eight major sects below.

Attacking from both sides is not necessarily safe, but it is definitely better than charging headfirst.

Xiang Yuan didn't know much about the situation of the eight major sects and didn't have any good suggestions. Seeing that Master Bai Yue was confident, he didn't say anything more.

"Master, this is all the information. Please take good care of it. I have to return to Killing Mountain, so I'll take my leave now." Xiang Yuan clasped his fists.

"Wait a minute, young man."

Nun Bai Yue held down Xiang Yuan's wrist and frowned, saying, "You have done a great job in gathering such important information. Why do you need to take the risk of sneaking into Killing Mountain? Listen to what I say. When the eight major sects gather together, we can take the secret path together. It is better for you to go through the trap alone."

"You scared me! I thought the nun wanted to let me stay overnight!" Xiang Yuan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nun Bai Yue's eyelids twitched. Even a clay man can still get angry. She kept holding on to a misunderstanding. Did she really think she had a good temper?

I won't let anyone stay overnight with you, a piece of trash! Master Bai Yue finally held back and didn't say it out loud. She continued to persuade Xiang Yuan to stay. The devil's cave was full of dangers. It was possible to return safely once, but it was not certain to return safely twice.

"No, if I don't go to the mountain, you will have to go through the secret passage without anyone to help you."

Xiang Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "There are also the Heavenly Demon Relics, which are a hidden danger after all. I want to give it a try. If I can seize three or two, the eight major sects will be more confident in besieging the Killing Mountain."

There are peerless magical skills in the forbidden area. If he doesn't take them now, when the eight major sects rush in, he won't be able to reap the benefits alone.

Time waits for no one, hurry up.

His words made sense, and Master Bai Yue could not refute it. She sighed and said, "I have seen the true appearance of the young hero. A young man like you should stand behind the master and should not carry heavy burdens."

“When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and deprive him of all poverty…”

Xiang Yuan shook his head and said a few words, then said: "Master, you think I have been wronged, but I don't think so. The demons have oppressed our human race for so many years, and finally waited for the opportunity to counterattack. No matter who comes, we will not retreat easily. Think about it on the bright side. Maybe this is a test from God. If I survive it, I will be the savior."

"Didn't make it?"

“I didn’t make it.”

Xiang Yuan took it for granted that if he couldn't find the relic and complete the mission, it would be useless no matter how much he said.

Nun Bai Yue admired him very much and didn't want to let down the information Xiang Yuan had obtained at the cost of his life, so she secretly vowed that even if it meant sacrificing her own reputation, she would try to get a few more experts to work with her.

"Young man, you are so righteous!"

"Goodbye..."

Don't say those noble words, because if I really meet you, it's over.

"Young man, be careful. You have already done a lot. Be patient as long as you can. When we arrive at the Heavenly King Palace, we will join forces to fight the demons to the death."

"Save it, save it."

Xiang Yuan crouched down and got out of the window. Under the cover of darkness, he disappeared like a ghost.

----

"You piece of shit, why are you back again?"

Seeing her useless husband coming back, Yegamo looked unhappy and said angrily, "Why, do I have to ask my father to come down the mountain?"

"You think I want to come back? It's tiring to climb up and down!"

Xiang Yuan groaned, with an attitude of "Although I am a loser, what can you do to me?", and said aggressively: "The Eight Great Sects have blocked the Killing Mountain. There are thousands of people, including hundreds of foundation-building masters. I want to run, but can I? What if I am caught by the human race and used to threaten my father? My father has lost his son. Can you bear this responsibility?"

My father lost his son, so I can just give birth to one. What’s the difficulty?

Yejiamo thought to himself that it would be bad to drive Xiangyuan down the mountain to die, so he said coldly: "You should stay on the mountain and don't move around. If you fall into the hands of the right envoy, your father will not save you."

"You don't have to say that."

A light flashed in Xiang Yuan's eyes, activating the switch deep in Yejiamo's heart, and he ordered: "Collect natural treasures for me and arrange for me to enter the Sutra Library. You can think of the reasons yourself. You are a mature witch and you must learn to act on your own..."

"Also, I heard that our demon race has prepared a lot of bombs for the human race masters. You should find a way to place them in the armory and other places. On the day when the eight major sects attack the mountain, just blow up the armory."

"It's not difficult to arrange for you to enter the Hundred Demons Cave. I can also get you some natural treasures. I have already thought of the reasons, but the armory is very important. The sect is not ruled by my father alone. I can't place the thunder bomb..."

Yagamo murmured that she did not have such great authority, and even if Moro gave the order himself, it would not work.

"We'll blow up as many as we can."

Xiang Yuan lowered his voice and said with a gloomy look: "On the day when the eight major sects attack the mountain, you will guard the Heavenly King Palace and keep an eye on the secret passage. If there is anyone, you will let them in. Prepare the map and hand it over together."

Yejiamo nodded blankly, then came back to his senses and looked at the waste with all his eyes: "Your martial arts are humble, and your father has lost face. It's okay to stay at the foot of the mountain, but I don't know how much ridicule you will attract when you return to the mountain. I will send you to the Hundred Demons Cave to learn martial arts, and find some external supplements. You should practice martial arts well. Do you understand?"

"If you say go, then I'll go. That would be so embarrassing for me." Xiang Yuan snorted coldly. His evil minions don't care about face!
Xiang Yuan: ╭（ˉ^ˉ）╮
Yegamo was extremely disgusted and sneered with a hint of murderous intent: "Demon, you'd better be obedient, otherwise I will beat you up and throw you over."

"Okay then, it's up to you."

Xiang Yuan immediately became obedient, recognized his position as a younger brother in the family, and cooperated obediently. He was led by Yagamo to the Cave of Hundred Demons, which was also the place where the skills of the Heavenly Demon Sect were passed down.

Yagamo ordered people to guard the place specially and not let the demon minions run around. She was the one who arranged everything from beginning to end, and the left-hand man, Mara, never showed up.

Almost at the same time, the news that the Son of Mara had returned reached the ears of a few people.

In a secret room, several dark shadows were whispering.

"Can you threaten him if you take Mara's son?"

"It's hard to say. Mochen is a waste. Mo Luo is so scheming and ambitious that he values ​​his daughter-in-law, Yagamo, more. He drove Mochen down the mountain last year and did not allow him to participate in the affairs of the church. He must have given up on his son and let him fend for himself."

"Maybe he is just putting on an act for us, pretending that he doesn't care. After all, he is the continuation of our bloodline. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, and my demon clan is no exception. If we capture him, Mara will definitely hesitate. I think this is feasible."

"Me too!"

Several dark shadows stopped to discuss and looked at the figure in the middle.

This demon has black hair and golden eyes, seductive facial features, and looks both male and female, making it difficult to tell whether he is male or female. His not very tall body gives people a bloody, cold and oppressive feeling.

The right-hand man of the Demonic Cult, Moja.

He announced to the public that he was in seclusion and had been keeping an eye on the movements of Mara, who was so careful that he did not notice a flaw until the demon's henchman returned to the mountain.

Success or failure, there is always a possibility.

"The eight major sects have already arrived at the foot of the mountain. I don't have much time left. I will have to fight with Mara eventually. So, as you said, I will use his son to explore the way first."

"I am willing to go. That bastard has low skills and can be captured easily!"
