Wang Yu
Chapter 1096: Each With Their Own Thoughts
"Is that true?" The White Bone Demon shuddered upon hearing this.
The Bronze Lion Demon's expression also changed, and he looked at Qimozi, a slight change in his eyes.
"Of course. Once the Black Heaven Demon Ancestor is released, I won't be able to escape with my life either, so how would I dare boast about this?" Qimozi smiled and said.
The Bronze Lion Demon didn't speak, but looked at the White Bone Demon, obviously wanting him to make the decision.
"What method do you have that you dare boast you can deal with the Black Heaven Demon Ancestor? Please explain clearly," the White Bone Demon said expressionlessly, two sharp gazes in his eyes.
Qimozi smiled slightly, moving his lips and saying something.
After hearing this, the White Bone Demon and the Bronze Lion Demon's expressions changed slightly, and then they both revealed surprise in their eyes.
"So that's how it is. In that case, there's indeed a high chance of dealing with the Black Heaven Demon Ancestor." After pondering for a long time, the White Bone Demon slowly nodded and said.
The Bronze Lion Demon also nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, both of you. This concerns my life, so naturally I won't speak falsely," Qimozi said with a smile.
"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Qimozi really has a way to deal with the Black Heaven Demon Ancestor, we might as well join forces. However, Fellow Daoist Qimozi must also have some requests, please state them clearly," the White Bone Demon said decisively.
"Haha, since Fellow Daoist White Bone is so straightforward, then I won't beat around the bush either. After rescuing your other brothers, I need your help to seize the Years God Lamp, and then help me kill that Han Li," Qimozi laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, only cold killing intent.
"Kill that Han Li? No problem, I already have a grudge against him. But after killing him, the treasures on his body must belong to us," the Bronze Lion Demon said, his eyes lighting up.
"The immortal artifacts and materials on Han Li can be yours, but I need to get a cultivation technique book from him. All things recorded with text must belong to me," Qimozi waved his hand and said.
"Alright, I only want the immortal artifacts on his body, you can have everything else." The Bronze Lion Demon only cared about Han Li's emerald gourd and the set of lightning attribute flying swords, he didn't care about anything else.
"Fellow Daoist White Bone, what do you say?" Qimozi looked at the White Bone Demon.
"Okay, I'll agree to this matter on behalf of my other brothers. However, Han Li's methods are extraordinary, we five brothers can only assist from the side, you'll have to personally engage in the frontal battle," the White Bone Demon said, his eyes flickering.
"No problem," Qimozi nodded without hesitation, which surprised the White Bone Demon slightly.
However, the two sides had already reached a consensus, so the White Bone Demon didn't ask anything more.
With the main issues settled, the two sides discussed the specific details and quickly reached an agreement, then immediately set off.
Not long after the three figures disappeared in the front, three more figures appeared near another mountain wall in a flash of green light. It was Qu Lin, Li Qima, and the middle-aged man in the green robe.
"I didn't expect the new Immortal Jail Master of the Heavenly Court to have come here as well. The situation is getting more and more complicated," the middle-aged man in the green robe murmured.
"Although this Qimozi is the Immortal Jail Master, judging from what they just said, he's not here to reinforce the seal, but to snatch the Grand-Duke Years God Lamp. His appearance may be beneficial to us," Qu Lin's pupils suddenly turned golden, shooting out two golden lights, and he said.
"Not necessarily. Qimozi's appearance certainly increases the chances of the seal being broken, but this person's cultivation is profound, he has already reached the Grand Luo Realm, and he cultivates the Law of Time. Not to mention Hu San and the others, even the three of us are no match for him. If he makes a move to snatch our natal soul tablets, Hu San and the others may not be able to resist... And our natal soul tablets have been connected to the Years God Lamp by the Grand-Duke's magic. As long as we get close to the Years God Lamp, our natal soul tablets will immediately be attacked by the Grand-Duke's flames, so we can only rely on Hu San, Han Li and others to snatch the natal soul tablets back. If they fail and the natal soul tablets fall into Qimozi's hands, we may never be able to turn over and will be at his mercy for the rest of our lives," the middle-aged man in the green robe shook his head and said coldly.
Qu Lin and Li Qima hadn't thought so deeply. After listening to the middle-aged man in the green robe's analysis, they realized the seriousness of the problem, and their expressions changed.
"Then Brother Liu, what do you think we should do? Should we take advantage of the fact that this Qimozi hasn't reached the Grand-Duke Palace yet and the three of us intercept him to buy Han Li and the others some time?" Qu Lin asked anxiously.
"If Qimozi hadn't joined forces with the White Bone King and the Bronze Lion King, the three of us joining forces might still have some hope of keeping him here, but it's too late now," the middle-aged man in the green robe sighed and said.
Qu Lin and Li Qima's expressions darkened upon hearing this.
"Is there really no way?" Li Qima couldn't help but say.
"It's not that there's absolutely no way, but we need to take some risks." The middle-aged man in the green robe was silent for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out a foot-tall puppet.
The puppet looked like a woman, with a delicate face, wearing a loose long dress, her eyes shining, and her body occasionally twisting, as if she wanted to break free from the middle-aged man in the green robe's hand, as if she were alive.
Not only that, the young girl's puppet's body was pure white on the left side and pitch black on the right side. The puppet's face was the same, half black and half white.
The white half of her face had a plain expression and gentle eyes, like a lady from a respectable family, but the black half of her face was gloomy and cold, her eyes revealing a sinister and resentful light, making people feel a chill.
Li Qima's expression moved slightly when he saw the young girl puppet, and then he immediately returned to his calm, as if he had seen this thing before.
"This is..." Qu Lin was seeing this thing for the first time, and he showed a surprised expression.
"This is a puppet I refined using special materials, named 'Good and Evil Two Hearts'. This is the only way to retrieve our natal soul tablets," the middle-aged man in the green robe looked at the puppet, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes, and then said seriously.
"What do we need to do?" Qu Lin's spirit was lifted, and he immediately asked.
The middle-aged man in the green robe waved his hand and opened a gray-white barrier, shrouding the three of them in it.
A moment later, the gray-white barrier flashed and disappeared, and the three figures reappeared, flying towards the front as well.
…
Han Li and the others flew all the way, not daring to fly too fast because their divine sense couldn't detect too far.
In the blink of an eye, the group had traveled for more than an hour and suddenly stopped, looking at the front with bright eyes.
There was a white jade square in a relatively flat area inside the mountain peaks in front of them. It was tens of acres in size, and the ground was covered with long strips of white jade. Wisps of white mist emerged from these translucent white jade stones, forming a shallow sea of clouds on the square, making it look beautiful and magnificent, as if in the clouds.
Around the white jade square were planted tall trees. It was unknown what species they were, but both the leaves and the trunks were translucent white and exuded bursts of white fluorescent light, making them look extremely gorgeous.
After some exploration, the group confirmed that there were no restrictions or traps on the square, and they all landed on it. However, they didn't look at the beautiful scenery or the surrounding white trees, but gathered in front of the square.
There were three staircase paths extending from the white jade square, leading to different directions.
Next to each staircase stood a white jade stone tablet, with the names "Fire Origin Palace", "Earthly Soil Hall", and "Wood God Tomb" written on them respectively.
Having experienced the previous events, as soon as the group saw the three stone tablet names, they immediately understood what those places were.
Hu San, Jiao San and the others' eyes lit up, and they each looked towards a staircase path, looking eager to try.
At that moment, three rays of light flew over and landed on the three paths, it was Wen Zhong, Lei Yuce, and Su Anqian, blocking the way.
"Now that two formation eyes have been broken, once the other three formation eyes are also broken, the Black Heaven Demon God will definitely be born, and we will all die without a burial place. I've said all I need to say, everyone must be cautious!" Lei Yuce raised his hand and cupped his fist, saying in a solemn tone.
But before he could finish his words, a whistling sound arose, and Hu San and Jiao San had already soared into the air and flew towards the Earthly Soil Hall in the middle, as if they hadn't heard Lei Yuce's words at all.
"Two fellow daoists, please stop, otherwise don't blame me for offending you!" Lei Yuce shouted in a deep voice, while raising his hand and waving.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Dozens of golden flying swords flew out from his sleeves, blocking Hu San and the others in front.
Han Li's pupils shrank slightly upon seeing this.
There were as many as sixty or seventy of these flying swords. Each flying sword exuded strong fluctuations of the Law of Gold, and they had all reached the eighth-grade immortal artifact level. Several of the flying swords emitted particularly dazzling golden light, and had even reached the seventh-grade immortal artifact level.
Dozens of powerful sword energy fluctuations gathered together, and the void within hundreds of feet in front of them vibrated violently, humming like a drum.
Hu San and Jiao San ignored the flying swords at all, and didn't intend to stop.
Seeing that the two of them didn't take him seriously, Lei Yuce's face became even angrier, and he pinched a sword seal and pointed.
The sixty or seventy flying swords immediately shone brightly, spinning around and gathering together, forming a golden sword formation, which was the Heaven Reaching Sword Formation that had been used once before.
But before the sword formation could be completely formed, dazzling dark red light erupted from Jiao San's body, submerging the golden sword formation in it.
The light on the golden sword formation suddenly stopped, and then quickly began to dissipate, and the sword formation that was about to be formed also showed signs of collapsing.
At this moment, a flash of bloody light appeared on the palm of Hu San's hand, and the Heaven Fox Blood Transformation Saber appeared in his hand, slashing out into the air.
With a "chi la" sound!
Dazzling blood-colored saber light suddenly erupted, instantly filling the space between heaven and earth. It seemed that at this moment, everything had lost its color, leaving only this dazzling viscous blood red.
