Chapter 113 Civil strife
Chapter 113 Civil strife
After defeating this unknown Huanxu monk, Xia Zhongnan and the other seven demon birds were extremely exhausted and collapsed to the ground. Jiuying was in an even worse state, with its nine heads lying limply on the ground like a pile of loose sand...
With the help of its nine heads, it single-handedly resisted a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage. The time span was quite long. In this secret beast garden, it is probably difficult to find an existence with such combat power.
Xia Zhongnan became more and more interested in Jiuying. He panted and exclaimed, "Brother Jiuying, your cultivation power is indeed extraordinary. If we rank the combat power among the human cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage and the second-grade demon beasts, you will definitely be among the top."
Bai Ze nodded and said, "Nine Infants' strength is not inferior to top monsters like Qilin, Phoenix, and Golden Dragon. We need a real fight to know which one is better. Now that we have Nine Infants joining our team, we are able to compete with those powerful Return to Void Stage cultivators."
Although everyone looked a little tired, they had just won a fierce battle and were still relaxed at the moment.
Jiuying lazily lay on the ground and said, "I have spent countless years in this spiritual valley. I never thought that I would have to leave one day. I can't help but feel a little reluctant."
After this battle, it finally realized that it was time to leave.
Huang Cheng said with emotion: "We have so many powerful monsters, so what do we have to fear even from the human race's Huanxu cultivators? I think even if we venture into the outside world, we can still be free and fearless!"
Xia Zhongnan reminded: "That being said, we still need to act with caution. In the outside world, there are not only cultivators in the Return to Void stage, but also Supreme Ministers in the Hedao realm. Once the Supreme Minister takes action, the advantage in numbers alone will not be of much use."
Tianma turned to Xia Zhongnan and asked, "Brother Linghu Chong, you are one of the few humans we trust, and you are the one who managed to lead us out of here. Have you ever thought about how to settle us after we get out?"
Xia Zhongnan replied: "After leaving this secret realm of the immortal mansion, our first task is to learn to hide and endure. Outside this secret realm is a vast mountain range of a thousand miles. I imagine that after we leave, the monsters will hide here for a while, and then plan to expand when the time is right."
Bai Ze laughed and said, "Your plan is indeed sound, but not all monsters will obey your arrangement. Although you are a master in martial arts, even a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage cannot guarantee that he can subdue all the monsters."
Xia Zhongnan smiled but said nothing: "If I really lead all the monsters to successfully escape from this trapped 'Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation' and leave the Immortal Mansion Secret Realm, then every monster should be grateful for my life-saving grace. I don't ask for much, I just hope that everyone can temporarily settle down in Fengqi Mountain, recuperate, and try to avoid causing trouble to me and yourself. If there are blind people who dare to provoke us, they will become the common enemy of all monsters. Don't put the entire monster tribe in danger because of the nonsense of a few monsters."
After listening to Xia Zhongnan's words, the group of monsters fell into deep contemplation. This is a very realistic problem. Although they are still trying to find a way to escape from the Immortal Palace, how to deal with themselves after leaving the Palace is indeed worth their careful consideration.
Xia Zhongnan was playing with the staff left by the defeated human cultivator, and sighed, "For human cultivators, every part of a monster is a treasure. Whether it's its fur, bones, blood, or internal organs, they are all considered extremely precious training materials or medicinal herbs. Look at this staff, isn't it made from the bones of some rare monster?"
For you, once you leave this place, I will be your best ally in cultivation. However, due to my limited cultivation level, I am unable to exert any influence on you, and I also need your help to improve my own cultivation. If you encounter a supreme master in the Hedao realm who attempts to imprison you, you will not even be able to struggle and resist, and I am afraid that you will not be far from falling into the Dharma Ending Age.
At this moment, Xu Qian had finished picking all the spiritual herbs in the valley. She was humming a little tune along the way and jumping happily back.
Her storage ring was filled with various grades of medicinal herbs from low to high quality, which naturally made her ecstatic.
Not long ago, she had properly hidden countless precious treasures in the secret realm of the Wentian Fairy Palace. Now, this empty storage ring had been filled with many more rare treasures. Xu Qian thought to herself that even a powerful being in the Hedao realm might not be able to compare with her in wealth.
Suddenly, the nine heads of Jiuying raised up at the same time, with cold light flashing in their eyes, staring straight at Xu Qian.
Xu Qian was frightened and immediately stopped, looking at Jiuying with panic on her face.
Bai Ze hurriedly stopped him, "Jiuying, don't act rashly. This man is Linghu Chong's good friend."
However, Jiuying ignored Bai Ze. Three of its heads went straight to bite Xu Qian, while the remaining six heads vigilantly monitored Xia Zhongnan and the other strange beasts.
Xia Zhongnan had already clenched the black iron spear in his hand, and used the "Bravest of Three Armies" style to rush straight towards Jiuying's body.
In an instant, three loud "bangs" were heard, and Xia Zhongnan swung his spear, bursting into three clusters of gun flowers, repelling the three attacking snake heads one by one, and continued to attack Jiuying's body without stopping.
On the other side, Tu Shan Fang'er instantly transformed into a nine-tailed fox. Each of her nine tails held one end, entwined around the nine heads of Jiuying, and pulled back the three snake heads that were attacking Xu Qian.
Previously, when fighting against the powerful human cultivator in the Void Realm, Tu Shan Fang'er had not yet revealed her true form, but at this moment she released her strongest form without hesitation.
There was another muffled sound, and "bang", Xia Zhongnan's spear pierced straight into Jiuying's body, and the nine heads each let out a terrible scream in the entangled tails of the nine-tailed fox.
However, Xia Zhongnan did not stop. Instead, he continued to attack Jiuying's body with one shot, two shots, and three shots, determined to kill it on the spot.
Jiuying's nine heads were now tightly bound by the nine-tailed fox, unable to make any effective counterattack, and could only endure Xia Zhongnan's constant attacks on its body.
It finally became terrified and shouted loudly, "Stop! Linghu Chong, stop it! Nine-tailed fox, let me go!"
Zhuque shouted at the side: "Linghu Chong, stop now. If you keep fighting, Jiuying will either be seriously injured or disabled!"
Huang Cheng, upon seeing this, could not help but become eager to help rescue Jiuying.
However, Bai Ze immediately stopped them: "Don't act rashly, just wait and see!"
Huang Cheng said unwillingly: "Are we just going to watch him kill Jiuying? You can see clearly that Jiuying is extremely powerful and will definitely become an important helper for us."
Bai Ze sneered: "Not necessarily. It is very likely that it will not only fail to be a help to us, but will become a troublemaker that disrupts the overall situation. Since it chooses to take the initiative, it is destined to have such a result!"
Bai Ze ignored the provocations of the monsters and stared at all the remaining alien creatures. He asked in a cold voice: "Among you, who still wants to use force against Linghu Chong?"
