Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 150 Why Sacrifice? A Spy from the Demonic Cult

The yellow and black smoke that appeared along with the fused monster was filled with the smell of earth energy, yin energy, and evil energy. Such a huge amount of energy could definitely not be provided by the newly formed spiritual realm.

In Sanqiu Jun's view, perhaps after the suppression and sealing of the newly formed spiritual realm, the spiritual realm attracted a yin vein or even a wicked vein when absorbing the power of heaven and earth, which is why so many evil spirits were born.

"Some kind of power in the White Rock Mountains?" Su Ji was startled, recalling the news he had recently received from the Taibai Dragon Clan.

In ancient times, this place suffered a massive demonic calamity. In order to solve this problem, the Heavenly Emperor Dongfang Qingdi used his great supernatural powers to suppress all the demons that had gathered in the White Rock Mountains.

After more than 10,000 years of time, Su Ji was not sure if the ancient demons had been completely wiped out, nor was he sure if the demonic calamity a dozen years ago was a continuation of the ancient demonic calamity.

However, Su Ji was very certain of one thing: power would not simply vanish into thin air.

At this time, there may be no ancient demons below Jushan at the tail end of the Baiyan Mountains, but it cannot be ruled out that there may be the power left behind by ancient demons.

"Forests underground will turn into coal over countless years... Perhaps beneath Chrysanthemum Mountain lies the power transformed from the dead evil spirits. If even a little bit of it is leaked out, it could cause earth-shattering changes to the newly born spiritual realm!"

After reaching this conclusion, Su Ji pondered for a moment and then said to Sanqiu Jun, "Sanqiu Jun, even if we cut off the so-called Yin Sha passage now, it will be impossible to stop these fused monsters."

"Now, the most important thing is to unite all the forces of the Qiu family and block all the evil spirits that want to come out at the gap in the Spirit Realm's membrane!"

Power doesn't appear out of thin air, and it's difficult to accumulate so much at once.

The Yin energy of the newly formed spiritual realm must have been accumulated over many years. Even if we have the ability to sever it now, it will not only be of no help, but we may also lose clues or alert the enemy!
At this moment, the two exploration teams, Sanqiu Jun, and the silver-haired old woman all left the Spirit Realm. All they needed to do was guard the gap in the Spirit Realm membrane in front of them and wait for the gods of Jiuxiang County to arrive.

Su Ji's mystical arts never stopped. Fortunately, although the Qiu family's formation could prevent cultivators from leaving, it did not affect the flow of the power of heaven and earth.

In addition, it was exactly seven or eight in the morning, and the earth's yang energy would only become more and more abundant, so Su Ji's only consumption was his mental energy.

"The Spear of Earthly Yang..."

Even without the enhancement of the Earthly Yang Lotus, the strength of Earthly Yang was still formidable, making the nearest fused monster a target for attack.

With the help of many cultivators, the monster, which was not yet fully fused, quickly exploded.

However, the silver-haired old woman and the others looked solemnly into the depths of the spiritual realm.

Since the start of the battle, Su Ji has consumed most of the Earth Yang Lotus to strengthen the Earth Yang Spear and eliminated one fusion monster. Now, with everyone working together, they have eliminated the second fusion monster, and there are currently four remaining.

In the distant yellow and black mist, although there were no figures of four or five-story fusion monsters, there were many figures of ordinary monsters on the ground. If they gathered together, they could fuse into two or three monsters with top combat power.

Michiki felt a sense of despair, but dared not show it, and could only worry inwardly:

"The Sun Guardian Spirit still has four rays of sunlight, but there are at least six monsters left. If they gather together and attack, we will surely be unable to stop them. Is the Qiu family going to be wiped out of Jiuxiang County today?"

Despite Su Ji's advice, the healing speed of the spiritual realm membrane was still too slow. This was not due to anything else, but because the Qiu family patriarch had very little control over the spiritual realm.

Otherwise, the Qiu family patriarch's spiritual realm clone could not possibly have only this much strength, nor could it have allowed the monster to grow to this extent.

Seeing the three fused monsters charging at them, the silver-haired old woman cried out, "Everyone, this battle concerns the survival of the Qiu family! We must unite and not let a single monster escape!"

Currently, besides the exploration teams led by the two Ghost Kings, Sanqiu Jun and the silver-haired old woman, the Qiu family also has the formation led by the second elder of the Qiu family and the cultivators in charge. In addition, with the powerful mystical arts of Su Ji, the Sun-Watching Spirit General, it is not impossible for them to win a glimmer of hope.

However, just as the two explorer teams agreed, the second elder of the Qiu family slowly shook his head.

"Compared to your survival, Jiuxiang County and even Lunzhou are more important. The formation is to ensure that the evil spirits cannot escape, and it must not be removed!"

Although Su Ji discovered the traces of the strange insects and even found the insect eggs inside the cultivators' bodies and removed them one by one with the help of Sanqiu Jun, no one can guarantee that there are no other evil spirits escaping from the spiritual realm.

If the formation is used to deal with the fused monsters in the spirit realm, it is very likely to leave a gap. If the evil spirits are allowed to escape from the formation, the Qiu family will bear the greatest responsibility.

Now, the most important thing is to maintain the formation and eliminate any possibility of the evil spirit escaping, until the gods of Jiuxiang County arrive.

As for the cultivators in the formation, apart from some recruited explorers, the rest were just a portion of the Qiu family's cultivators. As long as they survived, they would have no shortage of resources.

Second Elder, you—

The cultivators within the formation immediately panicked, and even the two Ghost Kings' expressions darkened slightly, since in the Second Elder's eyes, everyone within the formation was a potential sacrifice.

Seeing that the cultivators were starting to lose their composure, Sanqiu Jun quickly said, "What the Second Elder said is cruel, but it is an undeniable fact. You cannot leave the formation for the time being."

"As for the demons in the spirit realm, we will deal with them together. Currently, the Sun Guardian Spirit still has a lot of sunlight that it has not yet used. Once the gods of the countryside arrive, they will surely be able to save your lives!"

Upon hearing this, Sanqiu Jun looked at the Sun-Watching Spirit General Golden Toad, wanting Su Ji to give the cultivators some confidence.

Seeing that Sanqiu Jun hadn't mentioned the quantity of sunlight, Su Ji continued his attacks using mystical arts while readily agreeing, "Gentlemen, I still have a trump card—the Sun's Light—"

However, before Su Ji could finish speaking, many cultivators said with doubt, "It was the sunlight of the Sun Guardian Spirit that opened the gap in the membrane, which allowed the demons in the Spirit Realm to merge and gain such combat power. If they use sunlight as a means of attack, wouldn't it be possible to widen the gap in the membrane of the Spirit Realm?"

Once the membrane of the Spirit Realm is breached, the Spirit Realm's suppression of evil spirits gradually disappears, and the larger the breach, the more troublesome it will be to repair it later.

Many cultivators even harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that if they could overcome this hurdle, the spiritual realm transformed from the Qiu family patriarch's death might continue to shine.

Su Ji could only shake his head and sigh at this.

Currently, the only thing that can deal with the fused monster is the sunlight, but these cultivators are hesitant and forget that they will lose their lives soon.

At this moment, the silver-haired old woman, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up: "Now that the spiritual realm has given birth to demons, if we let the demons go, even the gods will not forgive us."

"The most urgent task now is to keep all evil spirits out of the spiritual realm; everything else can be sacrificed!"

Upon hearing this, some cultivators' expressions turned grim.

However, not everyone in the exploration team was a member of the Qiu family. Most of them were guest elders and recruited cultivators, and not all members of the Qiu family were necessarily prepared to sacrifice themselves.

"Alas—" The spiritual avatar that the Qiu family patriarch had transformed into sighed, then revealed a hint of helplessness.

"After the great battle with the demons, I was lucky enough to survive, and I thought my injuries were not serious."

"Unexpectedly, not long after I returned, I discovered something was wrong, but I still thought that the demon's methods were too powerful."

"It wasn't until after it transformed into a spiritual realm that I realized something was wrong, but by then I was already severely affected by the demon's consciousness and could only convey the message of sealing off the spiritual realm. "Originally, I thought I could eliminate the demon's influence with my own power, but I never expected that the spiritual realm would absorb some kind of strange Yin energy, making the demon's power stronger and stronger."

"This time, I was summoned because the demons' main attention was underground, which gave me a sufficiently clear mind."

"In order to prevent the evil spirits from succeeding, I am prepared to sacrifice myself to seal the gap in the Spirit Realm's membrane. Once the gods arrive, I will ask the Golden Flame General to use his great power to burn the Spirit Realm and the evil spirits to ashes!"

Even the powerful cultivators and the Ghost King struggled to break through the spiritual realm's membrane, and even some ordinary immortals were powerless against the spiritual realm that had absorbed the power of heaven and earth...

The reason why the City God of Jinfeng County was able to suppress the large water vein spiritual realm was not only because he relied on the power of Wusheng's hometown, but also because the large water vein spiritual realm was too bloated.

Although the spiritual realm before them had absorbed a great deal of Yin energy, it could not withstand the powerful divine abilities of the Golden Flame General. Once the opening in the amniotic sac was sealed, the other cultivators would be safe.

Immediately, some cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, while others were moved by the spirit of dedication of the Qiu family patriarch. Even Sanqiu Jun wore a sorrowful expression.

Unexpectedly, Su Ji, who had been silent all along, suddenly shook his head.

“If Master Qiu were to make a move, he could indeed seal the breach in the Spirit Realm membrane in one fell swoop. However, this would not only cause us to lose Master Qiu’s consciousness, but also potentially cause us to lose track of the Yin Sha power beneath Chrysanthemum Mountain…”

While others were worried about their own lives and the evil spirits in the spirit realm, Su Ji was focused on the source of the underground Yin energy. If they lost the clues because of Qiu Gong's sacrifice, that would be the greatest loss.

Seeing the two fused monsters charging towards the gap in the Spirit Realm, Su Ji said with particular confidence, "Although the sunlight has the ability to break through the membrane of the Spirit Realm, it will gradually dilute once it flies far away. The fused monsters will then bear the first wave of power. There is no need for you to worry!"

As he said this, Su Ji took out a Blazing Crystal Treasure, and then seven or eight rays of sunlight flew out.

"Blazing Crystal Feathers!"

The fused monsters are enormous, and their top-tier defense comes from the power of each individual monster, but they are still no match for the sun's light, even when its power is dispersed.

Instantly, the fusion monster on the left exploded with a gash in its head, chest, and left leg, while the fusion monster on the right suffered serious injuries to its side and abdomen.

"Everyone, why aren't you making a move!"

The fusion monster's top-tier defenses were breached, and it will take some time to recover, which gives many cultivators an opportunity.

"The Spear of Earthly Yang!"

"Attracting cold winds...bringing down cold dew...frost covering a thousand miles!"

"The autumn wind is bleak, and all things wither!"

"..."

Su Ji's combat strength can be considered powerful among high-level cultivators. The silver-haired old woman's methods are unpredictable and strange. The combination of Sanqiu Jun's spells is extremely effective. With the help of three or four dozen cultivators led by two ghost kings, they quickly destroyed one fused monster and another fused monster lost half of its body.

While other cultivators were still constructing their next spell, Su Ji's mystical arts never stopped. One after another, the Earth Yang Spears forced the heavily injured fused monster to retreat.

"boom……"

Soon, both fused monsters were destroyed. Even though their remains on the ground were still writhing and trying to continue fusing, the other cultivators did not give them a chance, pouring all their fear and anger into their spells.

For a time, many cultivators saw hope in eradicating the evil forces.

Sanqiu Jun exclaimed with delight, "I never knew sunlight could have such a wonderful use!"

Legend has it that the sun's rays are only one beam, but when they reach the hands of the Golden Toad, the Sun-Watching Spirit General, they can split into seven or eight beams that scatter in all directions. Even with two beams missing, they still manage to penetrate the fused monster's defenses.

The silver-haired old woman exclaimed in admiration, "The Sun-Watching Spirit General actually possesses such abilities! Even if he cannot destroy all the demons, he should be able to hold them off until the gods arrive!"

Many cultivators were overjoyed. Even though three fused monsters were rushing towards the opening in the membrane within the spiritual realm, they no longer felt the same fear as before.

However, to everyone's shock, the demons seemed to have learned their lesson. This time, instead of charging forward side by side, they lined up in a row as they got closer, clearly intending to use the fused monsters in front of them as shields.

Seeing this, Su Ji merely raised an eyebrow, took out another Blazing Crystal Treasure, and emitted a burst of intense sunlight.

In an instant, the first fused monster was pierced by the sunlight, and the defense of the second fused monster was also broken by the residual power of the sunlight.

Immediately, the cultivators unleashed all the prepared spells into the gap in the spiritual realm. Amidst the explosions, the first fused monster was reduced to countless fragments.

However, this did not stop the demons' advance; the remaining two demons continued to rush towards the gap with unwavering determination.

"Blazing Crystal Heavenly Light!" Su Ji could only take out the fourth Blazing Crystal Treasure.

Instantly, the head of the already injured demon in front exploded, and the demon behind also suffered serious injuries.

Some cultivators had not yet prepared their spells, but in addition to spells, the cultivators also had spiritual techniques from their magical artifacts. Among them, Sanqiu Jun and the silver-haired old woman were the most timely, and they launched another round of attacks that swept across the land.

"boom!"

At this point, not only did the second demon explode, but the third demon was also about to face another wave of magical attacks.

"Roar--"

Just then, two fused monsters flew out from among the countless severed limbs, and the second fused monster also rushed towards the gap with all its might.

Sanqiu-kun's expression changed drastically: "Oh no, there's even a fusion monster that can fly!"

Under normal circumstances, even if the fused monsters rushed over, they could only gather in groups of two or three. However, no one expected that two flying fused monsters had already been lurking underground in the Spirit Realm.

Su Ji naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his death, so he quickly took out the last Blazing Crystal.

However, at this moment, three cultivators suddenly rushed towards Su Ji, one of whom was even a Ghost King who was hiding his cultivation.

"It's not that simple after all!" Su Ji's figure flashed, and in an instant, he arrived three zhang away.

Then, a lotus-shaped flame suddenly rose from the spot, enveloping the three cultivators who had launched the sneak attack.

At the same time, the last ray of sunlight shot out from the Blazing Crystal Treasure in Su Ji's hand, piercing through the bodies of the two fused monsters that were about to fly out.
