our place is really secluded! I had to go through a lot of trouble to find you!” 。"Lu Xiaitian smiled faintly, "I wonder what Brother Yu has to teach me" "It's like this, Master Qian is worried tha..."Lu Daoist, you're a smart man. The place we're going is a hidden sanctuary discovered by me and the slovenly Daoist long ago. It's extremely secretive, but there are some unknown dangers within. In the past, when we encountered enemies we couldn't defeat, we successfully escaped several assassination attempts by hiding inside." The horned leopard demon chuckled.
"Implementing this, I'm not afraid to tell you all, that Tongbing Demon Ape used the Robing Demons Technique and only barely escaped from the giant demonic shadow’s pursuit. The Tongbing Demon Ape's strength far surpasses ours; using this Robing Demons technique requires consuming the flesh and blood of other cultivators to make up for the loss. Although the giant demonic shadow is currently nowhere to be found, it won't be easy for you all to avoid being hunted by the Tongbing Demon Ape." The slovenly old man and the horned leopard demon took turns speaking.
"Just what do you want Stop beating around the bush." The woman in green was getting impatient.
“As long as you all bring at least 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals, or equivalent spiritual items, we can naturally take you in to seek refuge. If not, if you fail to escape from the secret realm later, don't blame us for not helping.” The slovenly old man gulped down a mouthful of wine and said.
As soon as the slovenly old man and the horned leopard demon finished speaking, hundreds of miles away, a terrifying killing intent shot up into the sky. The tyrannical killing intent made the slovenly old man and his group hundreds of miles away tremble with fear.
The unkempt old man's words were cut short by the killing intent, leaving him flustered and unable to utter another word. He forgot all about tapping his bamboo pole and swallowed the rest of his sentence. He dashed away into the distance without hesitation.
"Let's follow them." The woman in the green skirt beckoned, and several cultivators behind her followed closely, afraid of missing a single detail.
The armless apparition transformed into a scholar, a playful smirk on his lips. With his cultivation, it was trivial to create a terrifying killing intent hundreds of miles away, instilling a profound sense of crisis in these low-level cultivators.
However, this slovenly old man and the horned leopard demon were not completely lying. The Tong Bi Demon Ape who had been beaten up by Bing Li Yao's shadow was indeed around three thousand miles away. Lu Xiaoteng's deputy Yuanshen could also easily sense that the Tong Bi Demon Ape, after using a forbidden technique, had a strong craving for absorbing cultivator flesh and blood.
If they can't find a safe place to hide from the Sky-Reaching Ape Demon beforehand, with the strength of this group of cultivators, only one or two of the strongest might be able to escape.
Having reached the realm of the broken arm, there was no need for excessive chatter. Simply employing some methods could force the slovenly old man and the horned leopard demon to flee in disarray.
As expected, under the threat of death, these two cunning fellows had no time for more demands. They immediately took the remaining cultivators and darted about frantically in this snow-capped peak.
Having fled to an ice pool, a faint sun disk in the void cast its shadow on the surface. The ragged old man and the horned leopard demon looked at each other, each taking out half of a jade talisman. Each talisman held half a sun, and upon injecting their magic power into it, the two halves merged when activated, forming a complete sun disk that fell onto the existing sun disk on the ice pool's surface.
Suddenly, the phantom of the sun burst forth with a faint glimmer. The disheveled old man and the horned leopard demon leaped into it one after another.
As that faint light appeared, the spiritual consciousness of the scholar formed from the severed limb was startled. Under this ice pool, the seal inscription cultivated by the severed limb according to the method of the Heavenly Demon Monarch actually had a slight response. This discovery couldn't help but make the severed limb overjoyed.
>
After searching everywhere without success, he found what he was looking for effortlessly. He had been wandering around this icy wasteland for some time, and surprisingly, he stumbled upon a clue about the Heaven-Piercing Stone in such circumstances.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
However, as a rare treasure of this realm, even if it sensed the slightest fluctuation, before seeing the Sky-Piercing Stone, it was impossible to be completely certain. The joy that pressed down on his heart subsided as the slovenly old man and the horned leopard demon entered the ice pool together.
Inside the ice cave, a violent storm of lightning and icy air clashed together. Anyone who dared to enter would be shaken to their core. Only those sheltered within the light emitted by the jade talisman could feel a semblance of safety.
“Don’t move, everyone! Don’t touch anything or you might trigger the restrictions here and bring disaster upon yourselves!” The ice pool above them gradually closed. At this moment, the slovenly old man held half a jade talisman in his hand, but his expression was unusually solemn.
Entering the icy abyss with severed limbs, one could sense the boundless power of ice lightning hidden deep within, as well as traces of other lifeforms. However, even a cultivator at the Mahayana stage would find their divine consciousness heavily disrupted in this harsh environment, making it difficult to discern the exact circumstances of these beings solely through spiritual perception.
The sensing of the inscription within the body fluctuates in intensity, sometimes being almost nonexistent.
The unkempt elder and the horned leopard demon each held half of a jade talisman. After entering the ice cave, the talisman's light indicated a direction, and they led the cultivators to that location. The spot they pointed to did indeed avoid the areas with the most concentrated lightning power and icy aura. However, for other existences moving within this region, it couldn't produce the intended effect of detection.
It seems that the other creatures under this ice lake don't seem to want to come to the outskirts either. They only move in deeper areas. It seems that there is a reason why the ragged old man and the horned leopard demon could enter it safely before.
As Lu Xia Tian's deputy primordial spirit had anticipated, the slovenly old man and the horned leopard demon, along with their retinue of cultivators, remained perpetually circling the periphery. While this provided sufficient protection for these cultivators, it fell far short of what Duan Bi, who yearned to delve deeper, required.
"Hmm" The one-armed man was about to leave alone when a presence approached from below the ice pool. And it was none other than the Ice Fox old demon they had met before.
“This ice fox demon, it seems like she knows quite a few secrets of the Ice Thunder Wasteland. She didn't seem to have told me everything before, and her courage is quite impressive.” The scholar with the severed arm let out a cold snort. He didn't need to go look for trouble with the other party; the ice fox demon apparition that appeared here actually approached him on its own.
Had it not been for the severed arm's voluntary appearance, how could the Ice Lynx phantom have discovered its existence The slovenly old man in the hands of the horned leopard demon, the jade talisman could only serve as an alarm and guide to the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations within the ice pool. It was utterly unresponsive to the approach of the Ice Lynx phantom.
... until the huge figure of the Bingli demon shadow loomed over the heads of the cultivators once more, the slovenly old man and the others froze in their tracks instantly. The ferocity of this Bingli demon shadow when it had previously crushed the Tongbi Demon Ape and his companions was still fresh in their minds. Had they not encountered some terrifying presence that forced it to flee halfway, most of these cultivators would likely have become corpses or mangled remains frozen by ice...
But now that the other party has reappeared, the consequences are self-evident. Miracles don't happen twice in a row.
The ice lynx demon's shadow loomed over the disheveled old man and the other cultivators, its eyes cold and emotionless.i, drawing the bow like a strongman, using the arrow like a long spear. He shot first the horse then the rider, and captured the king before the thief. Wu Tai clearly played a leading role among these...
