Chapter 56: Fighting the Demonic Cultivator
When casual cultivators go to the Fuyun Mountains to hunt monsters, they usually choose to go to the Guiyunfang Monster Hunting List to take over the task. They select the target and are ready before heading there.
The various monster missions with bounties they received were all investigated by Song Qingming and Feiyun Guards first, summarized and released.
In those unknown areas that Feiyun Guard has not yet explored, the monsters here have not yet been published on the monster hunting list. Naturally, no one will receive the task of hunting the monsters here and come to these places specially.
The Feiyun Guards were established by the Jindan monks of the Xiaoyao Sect who had been stationed at Guiyunfang for hundreds of years in order to better deal with the monsters in the Fuyun Mountains.
For hundreds of years, the area in the Fuyun Mountains close to the Wei Kingdom has been explored several times by Feiyun Wei even though it has a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
However, every time Feiyunwei explores an area, it will take at least hundreds of years before they explore it again.
Over the past hundred years, the monsters on the monster hunting list will gradually be killed by the monks who take over the task, and new monsters will slowly migrate to this area.
After decades of waiting, the monsters here have basically changed. Without the monster hunting mission on the monster hunting list, naturally there will be no monks here specifically to hunt monsters.
This area will slowly become a new unknown area. It will not be until Feiyun Guards re-explore this area a hundred years later that monks will slowly come here.
Yang Wuqi and his group of demonic cultivators took advantage of this loophole and hid in an unknown area. In the past few years, they had escaped several waves of cultivators sent by Guiyunfang to search for their traces.
Until half a month ago, Lu Yunfei and his team of Feiyun Guards happened to be assigned the task of exploring this area and came here.
The Feiyun Guard who was killed by Yang Wuqi previously was named Luo Ping. He had been a member of the Feiyun Guard for several years. He had never had any major incidents during his missions and was considered a relatively mature monk.
This time he was unlucky. The place he was assigned to explore happened to be near Yangwuqi Cave.
I already knew that there were foundation-building monks scanning the air, and I got the news that there were fewer second-level monsters in this area. I thought it was a relatively safe unknown area, but I didn't expect that there was a group of demon cultivators hiding in this deep mountain.
Luo Ping, who was not aware of the situation, stumbled into it. When he discovered Yang Wuqi and the group of demon cultivators, he wanted to hide there and wait for the demon cultivators to complete the sacrifice and leave, then quietly go back to report the news. Unexpectedly, there was still a group of demon cultivators hidden inside. A profound foundation-building demon cultivator.
Although he was being cautious, he met Yang Wuqi, whose cultivation level was far superior to his. He accidentally exposed his whereabouts and lost his life in vain.
Feiyunwei's exploration areas are usually carried out in secret. Yang Wuqi and his group of demon cultivators did not know this situation. After several people from Guliang Mountain discovered that the flame rat was killed, although they were a little suspicious, they thought it was the work of the nearby demon hunting team. Yes, they didn't know that a large number of Feiyun Guards had arrived near their cave.
It wasn't until after killing Luo Ping that the cautious Yang Wuqi faintly felt something was wrong. If this person who suddenly broke in here was really the Feiyun Guard of Guiyunfang, their cave would definitely be exposed sooner or later.
Yang Wuqi, who has been in the Wei Kingdom for many years, has naturally heard of the Feiyun Guards in Guiyunfang, and also knows that the Feiyun Guards are dedicated to exploring information about monsters and beasts in the Fuyun Mountains for Guiyunfang.
"A monk has discovered this place today. I'm afraid this place is not safe. Let Liangshan and the others hurry up and prepare for the sacrifice. After the sacrifice is completed, we will find another cave."
Yang Wuqi, who was sitting in the cave, seemed to have made up his mind after thinking for a while and gave some instructions to the disciples standing below.
In a dense forest several miles away from the altar, a monk with a somewhat panicked expression hurriedly spoke to the people in the forest.
"Captain, we have found the place where Fellow Daoist Luo sent the help talisman. It is at the foot of the mountain ahead. There is an altar with a group of people on it. It seems that some kind of ceremony is going to be held. It seems that Fellow Daoist Luo is in trouble."
"Altar, blood sacrifice, are these people demon cultivators?" Lu Yunfei said with a shocked face after hearing this.
"What, the person who killed Fellow Daoist Luo was actually a demon cultivator. How could there be a demon cultivator here?" Everyone's faces changed when they heard that there was a group of demon cultivators in front of them.
The demonic cultivator has always been cruel in his actions, and many of the monks present knew very well that if Luo Ping fell into the hands of the demonic cultivator, he would definitely be in trouble.
Song Qingming, who was already a little uneasy, was very surprised when he heard the news about the demon cultivator. The demon cultivator has cruel methods and many weird techniques, but it is much harder to deal with than ordinary monsters. If he takes action later, , you must be careful.
"Approximately how many are there and how strong are they?" Lu Yunfei thought for a moment and then asked again.
"There are about five or six people, all of whom are in the advanced stage of qi-refining. Two of them are already in the late stage of qi-refining and are probably not weaker than the captain. The others are not high in cultivation and are only in the middle stage of qi-refining." The person who reported the news hurriedly said Open your mouth and answer.
Lu Yunfei looked at the dozen monks next to him and secretly made a determination in his heart.
"Fellow Taoists, now that we have encountered this group of demonic cultivators, regardless of whether Fellow Daoist Luo is alive or dead, we all have the obligation to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. We don't have to be afraid. The ones in front of us are just a group of Qi-refining demonic cultivators, and they are not very strong. Follow me. Eliminate the demon and avenge fellow Taoist Luo."
Several people from Guliangshan were on the altar at this time, anxiously preparing various sacrificial materials. Several monks who had fallen into a coma had already been tied to the pillars around the altar.
Refining this magic sword requires not only the monk's soul, but also many other materials and some complicated rituals.
"Junior brothers, hurry up. The blood sacrifice will begin soon. The master has just passed down the message, asking us to guard the altar. Ninth Junior Brother, please go to the mountain pass to guard it first. A monk has already broken into this place. We You still have to be careful, lest it affect the master’s ritual of refining the magic sword.”
A middle-aged demon cultivator was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands towards Guliang Mountain somewhat unwillingly and walked slowly out of the mountain.
The relationship between demon cultivators is more cruel than that between righteous cultivators. When performing tasks, they never care about each other's life and death.
This unlucky demon cultivator had just walked half a mile when suddenly a flash of spiritual light flashed and magic weapons were flying in the sky. More than a dozen monks on both sides came out at the same time. The demon cultivator saw a dozen magic weapons flying over from all sides and was filled with excitement His face showed a look of disbelief and horror.
A desperate scream sounded. This demon cultivator, who was only at the sixth level of Qi refining with a low cultivation level, encountered a sneak attack by more than a dozen monks with higher cultivation levels than him. Before he could take out his magic weapon, he He was beaten to death by Song Qingming and others.
"It's bad that someone is attacking. All junior brothers, please stop them together. Don't let them destroy the altar. Junior Brother Li, hurry up and inform the master."
When Guliangshan saw a large number of monks approaching from a distance, he quickly asked one person to notify Yang Wuqi first. Then he took several demon cultivators under the altar and braved the attack.
"Fellow Taoists, these demon cubs are indeed performing blood sacrifices. Don't hold back. For all Taoists who can kill demon cultivators, I will report this matter to the sect. I will definitely not lose the benefits to you."
Lu Yunfei saw that there were only four or five of them in Guliangshan, and he took the lead and rushed towards the altar to kill them.
"Kill to avenge Fellow Daoist Luo."
Several masters in the late stage of Qi refining who were eager to make contributions heard Gu Liangshan's words and rushed forward, shouting loudly that they would kill these demon cultivators and avenge Luo Ping.
Seeing that there were indeed only a few demon cultivators on the opposite side, everyone felt a little more confident. There were more than twice as many demon cultivators as there were on the opposite side. Not surprisingly, these demon cultivators would be the stepping stones for their achievements.
