Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

"Underground...underground, is this the place?"

Soon, the master found a floor tile that did not fit in with the surroundings. While the rest of the floor was stained crimson, this floor tile was still clean. It was blatantly telling everyone who saw it what big secret it was hiding.

Carefully opening the floor tile, the Grandmaster saw a fairly spacious entrance to a passage. The corners of his mouth curled up in a scornful smile.

Ha, I didn’t expect that I could find the passage so easily. It seems that I am really a person favored by destiny.

Without any hesitation, he walked into the passage, and as darkness engulfed his back, a few emerald green sprouts emerged from the side, pushing the floor tiles that were removed by the Grandmaster back into place.

This time, red stripes also appeared on the floor tile, blending in with everything around it.

……

"There's such a strong sense of resentment over there. It seems that these bastards in Hehuan Valley have started to do some things that are against the will of heaven." Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, Gu Xue said to the master disciple beside her.

The actions of Hehuan Valley went against the will of heaven, and heaven responded. Unfortunately, this response had no deterrent effect on Hehuan Valley.

If the Heaven has the ability, it will send down thunder to chop these demons into charcoal. Otherwise, the demons will not stop because of this little threat.

"Today's capital of the Canglong Empire... I'm afraid there will be a river of blood." The master standing next to Gu Xue sighed softly. Although they stopped the civilians of the Canglong Empire from killing each other, when the people of Hehuan Valley took the initiative to attack the people of the Canglong Empire, they were powerless.

"We can't go on like this. Hehuan Valley is definitely preparing something that can break through the formation. If we keep defending like this, there will be no good results in the end." Gu Xue stared into the distance with a serious expression.

There has been such a big commotion in Hehuan Valley, it is self-evident what they want to do.

Every living person in the imperial capital can be transformed into spiritual energy by the magic formation, and there are really too many residents in the imperial capital.

They condensed their spiritual energy and used it as a weapon to attack Yao Chi's base. Gu Xue felt that the base's current defensive capabilities were not enough to withstand such an attack.

"So, Senior Sister Gu, what you mean is..."

"Prepare to break out. Support from other holy places will arrive soon, and then we can attack back here." Gu Xue narrowed her eyes. She was not someone who liked to passively take a beating.

The base is no longer safe now, so we have to abandon it temporarily.

"But the people of Hehuan Valley have learned their lesson. This time they have really surrounded us. It may not be that easy for us to break out."

"We have to give it a try. If we keep hiding here, we will definitely be more passive when the attack from Hehuan Valley comes... Strange, why is there a vortex of spiritual power over there?" Gu Xue had just said half of her words when her attention was attracted by the sudden change in the distance.

I saw that where the thick resentment gathered, a huge vortex of spiritual energy connecting heaven and earth gradually formed. The vortex was blood red all over, but the light at the very center of the vortex was pure green.

It is upright and yet also extremely evil. These two completely opposite things are combined together to create something that makes people feel like their sanity is about to collapse at a glance.

"Could it be a conspiracy of Hehuan Valley?"

"No, Hehuan Valley can't come up with such a thing." Gu Xue immediately retorted. If there was only a blood-red spiritual energy vortex, she would definitely think that this was a method used by Hehuan Valley. They wanted to use such a huge amount of spiritual energy to smash the shield of the Yao Chi base with great force.

But the situation now is obviously different. The spiritual energy vortex is obviously controlled by the green light. The entire spiritual energy vortex is working for the green light!

"So…what is that?"

……

"I say...our luck shouldn't be that bad, right?" Looking at the green light that penetrated the sky and earth in the distance, Qian Lin turned back to look at Ye Qiuhan with a stiff expression, "Ask the Saint, and let her tell me that our luck is not that bad."

Ye Qiuhan stared blankly at the green light in the distance, then judged the approximate area where the green light was located, and his expression suddenly became as if he had lost his parents.

There is no need to ask the saint, she can answer this question directly. The location of the green light is the small temple where he had hidden before.

In other words, Hehuan Valley really made a big news this time!

"Our luck must really be this bad."

Just now, the Saint Girl assured Qian Lin that the small dilapidated temple was very stable and there would be no problem as long as no Venerable-level spiritual energy was injected into it. But now, it has only been a short time since Qian Lin woke up from the dream, how come the place exploded?

Who can tell her what is going on?

"Ye Qiuhan, come here." Qian Lin waved at Ye Qiuhan.

"Ah, what do you want to do?" With confusion, Ye Qiuhan walked to Qian Lin.

Then, Qian Lin reached out and pinched Ye Qiuhan's arm hard. Although it was through the clothes, the pinch still made Ye Qiuhan grimace.

Seeing Ye Qiuhan's reaction, Qian Lin almost cried. It seemed that this was not a dream, but reality.

"I shouldn't have come here to wade into this muddy water. I should have let you die here alone! Now, we are going to die here together."

"It's not that serious yet! That's not the real Azure Dragon Seal, it's just an entrance or a passage!" Seeing Qian Lin say such negative words, Ye Qiuhan quickly grabbed Qian Lin's shoulders and shook him fiercely, "Even if it's opened, we can still find a chance to close it. Don't give up now!"

"I've discovered that every time we go out together, nothing good happens. We met the Black Tortoise before, and now we'll probably see the Azure Dragon. And then you'll definitely have to join in the fun with the Vermillion Bird." Qian Lin took a deep breath and turned to look at Ye Qiuhan. "We've already met three of them. I feel like the fourth one won't be far away either."

As she spoke, she reached out and took out her Black Tortoise Blood Necklace from her chest. It had looked like an ordinary necklace before, but now it was flashing with blue light, which indirectly confirmed the saint's previous speculation.

That small dilapidated temple is indeed related to the Azure Dragon.

The Black Tortoise Blood Necklace on my body started to glow because it sensed the aura of the Azure Dragon.

After putting the necklace with a little body temperature back into his clothes, Qian Lin patted Ye Qiuhan on the shoulder and said to her, "Don't worry, I'm not someone who collapses easily. Sitting and waiting to die is not my style."

I believe that the senior sisters have also noticed this unusual change. If we all discuss it together, we should be able to come up with something.

"Let's go find Senior Sister Gu and the others. Time waits for no one."

……

It wasn't just Yao Chi who was confused by the sudden change. Even Hehuan Valley itself was frightened into fools by the outrageous noise.

After seeing the master who came to report the abnormality of the formation, Yue Sheng took the sudden disappearance of spiritual energy very seriously and immediately decided to go and check out the situation in person. As a result, just when he was halfway there, a green light shot up into the sky, followed by a blood-colored vortex of spiritual energy accompanied by the green light.

The terrifying suction force sucked a large number of Hehuan Valley monks towards the direction of the spiritual energy vortex. Only the masters at the master level could barely stand firm under such a huge force.

Yue Sheng acted in time to save the monks from the Hehuan Valley who were beside her, but as for the monks from the Hehuan Valley who were a little further away from her, she could only watch helplessly as they were sucked into the vortex of spiritual energy.

"This vortex is absorbing the spiritual energy between the heaven and earth! It will completely drain this place dry!" A master of Hehuan Valley shouted loudly.

The civilians who were standing at the edge of the sacrificial formation and were about to be thrown into the sacrificial formation to die painfully were not affected much. They looked on in surprise as the originally ferocious demon monks were sucked away by the vortex of spiritual energy and turned into mummies while wailing. The thought "Is this retribution?" suddenly popped up in their minds.

The evil ones were eliminated, but the innocent people were not harmed at all. This bloody vortex of spiritual energy seemed to be on the side of justice in some sense.

Of course, this vortex has no intelligence. It only absorbs the monks from Hehuan Valley and not civilians. It is only because the monks from Hehuan Valley have more spiritual energy in their bodies, and it is absorbing the spiritual energy from this world.

The large formation in front of Hehuan Valley provided the most critical part of the spiritual energy for the formation of the vortex. Originally, if the two masters had stopped the formation in time, this spiritual energy vortex would not have formed.

But the two people who discovered the abnormality, one went to find Yue Sheng to report the situation, and the other entered the underground space in a possessed manner. Unexpectedly, no one ordered to stop the formation. As a result, those ordinary Hehuan Valley monks were still running the formation step by step, sending spiritual energy towards the center of the formation.

The delay caused things to completely slide into a result that no one had expected.

The civilians screamed and ran away. The monks from Hehuan Valley also wanted to escape, but the vortex of spiritual energy would not let them go.

As the weak monks of Hehuan Valley were sucked into the spiritual energy vortex and left no trace, the size of the spiritual energy vortex expanded further. Even Yue Sheng and others had to stay away from the vortex to escape the terrifying suction.

If you get involved, you're really doomed.

"Retreat! Everyone, run away!" Yue Sheng gave orders loudly.

This vortex of spiritual energy is too terrifying and it is simply not something that human power can contend with. All we can do now is to temporarily avoid it and stay away from this place as much as possible.

The retreat route chosen by Hehuan Valley bypassed Yao Chi. If the people of Yao Chi broke out of the barrier and the spiritual energy vortex at this time to attack Hehuan Valley from both sides, most of the people in Hehuan Valley would probably be killed here.

Of course, Yao Chi will also pay a very painful price.

"Master Yuesheng, why does this strange phenomenon feel like some secret realm is about to be opened?"

"Do you need to tell me about this?" Yue Sheng glared at the Grandmaster who was speaking. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a sign of the opening of a secret realm.

Judging from the noise, the level of this secret realm is definitely very high, and it may even be a secret realm left behind by a high-level master from ancient times!

In this kind of secret realm, there are usually many treasures from ancient times. If Hehuan Valley can monopolize such a secret realm, it will not be a loss even if it fails to achieve its original goal!

But the question now is, does Hehuan Valley have the ability to monopolize such a secret realm?

……

"The spiritual energy in that place is fluctuating greatly. It must be that a secret realm is about to be revealed!"

"It's the direction of the Canglong Imperial Capital..." Venerable Bi Bo looked up into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that things are going to become complicated."

……

"A large secret realm is about to be revealed. It seems that this trip is not in vain." Venerable Huanyue looked into the distance and laughed happily, "Let's go. Our sect master may need some helpers to help."

256. Turn on

There was a raging storm, with lightning and thunder. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was attracted by the blood-colored vortex of spiritual power and rushed towards the green light.

The siege of Hehuan Valley has been lifted, and everyone in Yao Chi has quickly packed up their things. The masters and senior sisters worked together to bring the weaker disciples and the little princess who has become the Queen of Canglong to a safe area.

The residents of the imperial capital also ran out of the city in large numbers. Although they could not feel the terrible attraction, the appearance of such a huge vortex above their heads still made people feel trembling in their hearts.

After discovering the people from Yao Chi and the new Queen, the civilians who had fled the imperial capital seemed to have found their backbone and gathered here one after another. For a moment, this place became shoulder to shoulder and people were squeezed together. Even the monks from Yao Chi could only use the art of voice transmission to shout to these civilians not to get too close to avoid a stampede.

After sending the weaker monks to a safe place, several masters of Yao Chi returned to the imperial capital and began to guide the fleeing civilians. At this time, the fewer civilians could be sacrificed, the better.

The army that was originally able to provide assistance to the civilians has now been almost completely wiped out by the double attack of the Hehuan Valley and the spiritual energy vortex. Now the cultivators of Yao Chi have taken action and finally pointed out a clear way out for the people who were running around like headless flies.

Otherwise, some civilians might have to run to Hehuan Valley.

That's like escaping from a wolf's den and entering a tiger's lair. The survival rate might not be as high as staying in the imperial capital. After all, this vortex of spiritual energy doesn't seem to have any grudges against civilians without cultivation, but Hehuan Valley can really kill people.

Outside the imperial capital, Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan told Gu Xue all the information they knew, and seriously emphasized the accuracy of the news.

"She has a deep understanding of this area, and I think I can trust her." Qian Lin held Ye Qiuhan's hand and said to Senior Sister Gu with a serious face.

Ye Qiuhan, who was trusted by Qian Lin so much, did not feel any emotion at the moment. She knew that Qian Lin trusted not her, but the saint in her body.

But now is not the time to worry about these trivial matters. She took out a bunch of ciphertexts from the storage bag and wanted to explain the meaning of these words to Gu Xue.

But Gu Xue stopped Ye Qiuhan directly. She believed in the judgment of these two junior sisters, and she was not an expert in this area. Listening to these explanations would be of no use.

"I just want to know what to do now. What consequences will occur if this secret realm is opened?"

As soon as this question was asked, Ye Qiuhan showed an expression of "I don't know either".

She knew just that little bit. The secret code in the underground secret room only said that little bit and nothing else.

"I don't know, but this is a secret realm related to a divine beast. We cannot be careless. If the devil angers the divine beast and the seal is loosened, the whole world will be in danger." Ye Qiuhan shook his head, then turned to look at the courtesan who had been listening silently beside him, "Ms. Huaxi, I also want to hear your opinion on this matter."

The courtesan named by Ye Qiuhan blinked, and the corners of her mouth hidden under her veil twitched involuntarily.

I am just a country bumpkin master who knows nothing. I only know that I have to destroy Hehuan Valley. I know nothing about other things.

I discovered that place several years ago, but I never realized how magical it was. Now you, who have cracked its secret after just a few days, come to ask me what to do?

"Anyway, just call me when you go to attack Hehuan Valley. I'm pretty good at beating them."

Well, it seems there is no constructive suggestion.

"Can we get closer to the vortex and interrupt it forcibly?" Gu Xue touched her chin and whispered to herself.

Qian Lin knew this method wouldn't work as soon as he heard it. The area around the vortex had now become a restricted area for cultivators. Not to mention a Grandmaster, even if a Venerable stood there, he might not be able to resist the suction of the spiritual power vortex.

Moreover, after destroying the spiritual power vortex, the terrifying spiritual power that escaped might directly dig a cesspool in the land of the Eastern Territory. It is estimated that everyone present would have no chance of survival.

Gu Xue quickly dismissed this idea. Now, it seemed that she could only wait quietly for the secret realm to open, and then fight a decisive battle with the devil after the vortex of spiritual energy disappeared.

"Let's wait and see what happens. Those who are not in good condition should take a rest and replenish their energy. Wait until the vortex disappears and the secret realm is opened. That will be the moment of the real decisive battle." Gu Xue exhaled lightly and said to the other Yao Chi disciples who were on standby.

At this point, Gu Xue actually hoped that this secret realm would be opened later. It would be perfect if she could wait until the reinforcements from the holy land arrived.

But if she didn't wait, Gu Xue wouldn't be afraid. In short, she couldn't let the evil spirits get involved in this secret realm.

"Senior Sister Qian! Senior Sister Ye! Come here quickly, the Dragon Emperor Sword seems to be glowing!" At this time, the little princess's voice came from a distance.

Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan looked at each other and immediately rushed towards where the little princess was.

The Dragon Emperor Sword had a problem at this time, which was no small matter.

……

Since the sky had been covered by dark clouds a long time ago, people near the imperial capital had lost some sense of time. They didn't know what time it was, nor did they know how long the spiritual energy vortex would exist.

But a door is already vaguely visible in the sky. Perhaps when this door becomes completely solid, the secret realm will be opened.

With the attraction of the spiritual energy vortex, the entire imperial capital has now completely turned into a spiritual energy desert. All the cultivators in it are unable to rely on external spiritual energy to restore themselves, and can only take elixirs to temporarily recover.

And such changes are gradually spreading to the surrounding areas of the imperial capital.

In the temporary camp chosen by Yao Chi, many disciples in the Body Tempering Realm found that the speed at which their spiritual power recovered was much slower than before. All the spiritual energy was snatched away by the vortex in the imperial capital, and they could only get a pitiful little.

The Grandmasters were in a better situation, as they were able to snatch a lot of spiritual energy from the spiritual energy vortex. However, as the spiritual energy here gradually dried up, this 'good situation' would not last long.

"It has almost drained all the spiritual energy near the imperial capital. This place is considered to have abundant spiritual energy in the Eastern Territory, right?" Qian Lin wrote and drew on the paper with a terrible expression. "The amount of spiritual energy absorbed by that spiritual energy vortex is probably more than the spiritual energy of a low-level Venerable!"

So much spiritual energy is just used to open the door. This Qinglong Secret Realm really deserves the name of the Four Divine Beasts.
