Chapter 180 Don’t mess with that turtle!
Tang Yan walked forward, following a specific pace, stepping on different key nodes, and after walking dozens of steps, he disappeared out of thin air.
Li Xiuchang could still sense Tang Yan's position in front of him based on the induction of the Soul Control Seal.
He also repeated Tang Yan's steps, and the next moment the scene in front of him changed slightly, and he found that there was a hole on the ground in front of him.
Tang Yan was waiting for him at the hole.
"Master, below is the stronghold left by the Demon Sect tens of thousands of years ago."
Li Xiuchang stood at the hole and felt a little bit of gloomy ghostly air overflowing from it.
He looked back at the way he came, and was secretly amazed in his heart. This natural maze is extremely concealed. If you are not careful, even a powerful person with a high level of cultivation may ignore it.
Li Xiuchang probed into the cave with his spiritual sense, and it was indeed a stronghold dug by humans, but now it has been abandoned and covered with dust and cobwebs.
Li Xiuchang noticed at a glance that there was a high platform in the center, which was obviously built later.
The platform is engraved with complicated patterns and strange lines. In the middle of the platform is a round column, which is slightly transparent and dark gray.
The column is full of ghosts, and hideous ghost faces appear from time to time. It can be seen that many evil ghosts are imprisoned in the column.
At this time, Chen Changsheng's voice sounded in Li Xiuchang's ears: "This is the soul sacrifice method of the Soul Demon Dao. It is a method used by the Soul Demon Dao's demon cultivators to raise ghosts. 30,000 ordinary ghosts are imprisoned on the Yin Altar, and they are allowed to fight each other until the last evil ghost is left. The 30,000 ghosts' anger and resentment are gathered, and they are transformed into ghost kings under the blessing of the Yin Altar, starting from the third level.
"This ghost king can not only be driven by the Soul Demon Dao's demon cultivators, but also a great tonic for the ghosts. "
Li Xiuchang observed that there were obviously more than one ghost imprisoned on the Yin altar, and it was obvious that the "Ghost King" had not been raised yet.
You have already met your death... Li Xiuchang glanced at Tang Yan with murderous intent in his eyes.
Confirming that there was no danger below, Li Xiuchang fell into the cave first. He simply released another demon cultivator ghost Fan Liang and ordered:
"You two take down the soul pillar. "
Fan Liang and Tang Yan looked at each other, both of them were happy, and they both understood what the other meant.
This is a good opportunity, they must act here!
If they return to Xianchen Sect to act, it will be too late.
There are many powerful people in Xianchen Sect, and there are too many variables.
In addition, Li Xiuchang obtained the ghosts and evil spirits in the Yin Altar, and he may soon cultivate other third-level ghosts.
By then, even if the two of them are promoted to the third level, they can't do anything to Li Xiuchang.
The only way is to let go at this time, impact the third level, break free from the control of the Soul Control Seal, and control Li Xiuchang!
Fan Liang and Tang Yan walked up to the Yin Altar with ulterior motives. This Yin Altar was set up by Tang Yan, and no one was more familiar with it than him. While breaking the patterns on the high platform, he explained to Li Xiuchang:
"There are many forbidden inscriptions engraved on this Yin Altar, which must be broken one by one, otherwise the Yin souls in the soul column cannot be collected. "
Li Xiuchang nodded and watched with his hands behind his back.
Fan Liang also stepped forward to help.
When the two men had broken most of the inscriptions on the high platform, the evil spirits in the soul pillar seemed to be about to break out of the pillar. The two men hurried forward and pressed their hands against the soul pillar. On the surface, they were injecting soul power to stabilize the soul pillar, but in fact, they were quietly absorbing the evil spirits and Yin Qi in the soul pillar.
The soul pillar was made of a special material, and there were array patterns engraved on the surface that separated the inside and the outside. Li Xiuchang could not directly probe into the soul pillar with his spiritual sense, and could not see the changes in the soul pillar.
However, he was always wary of the two men's possible tricks, and he had a rough idea in his mind, but he just pretended not to know.
He had waited for these two pigs to fatten up for a long time. He finally raised them to the late second stage and invested a lot of resources, just waiting for the third stage to harvest.
Tang Yan and Fan Liang secretly absorbed the Yin spirits and evil spirits in the soul pillar while pretending to break the seal on the soul pillar.
"Not ready yet?" After waiting for a while, Li Xiuchang pretended to urge.
"Immediately. "Tang Yan agreed.
But after a while, the two's auras became obviously stronger.
After absorbing a lot of Yin Qi and evil spirits, the two's auras soared and could no longer be hidden.
Li Xiuchang had actually noticed it a long time ago, but only at this time did he show an angry expression and shouted: "What are you doing!"
Tang Yan and Fan Liang no longer hid at this time. They took out the large Youhan flower that Li Xiuchang had given them before, absorbed it directly, and impacted the third level!
The Youhan flower can directly improve the strength of the Yin soul, and it can also neutralize the hostility brought by the Yin soul swallowing evil spirits.
At this time, this large Youhan flower is more useful than anything else for Tang Yan and Fan Liang who have just swallowed a large number of evil spirits.
After the two absorbed the Youhan flower, their auras soared and rushed towards the third level!
At the same time, they left the platform and kept retreating to prevent Li Xiuchang from taking the opportunity to attack them.
But to their surprise, Li Xiuchang did not make any move. Just stood there and watched quietly.
There was no intention to interfere with them through the Soul Control Seal. They were both ready to resist the Soul Control Seal temporarily.
However, at this time, the two had no way out. It was useless to think too much. They could only sprint with all their strength.
With Li Xiuchang's cooperation and non-interference, the two demon cultivators' ghosts could break through with peace of mind. During this period, Fan Liang seemed to have a problem with the breakthrough. He didn't accumulate enough, so he ran to the Yin Altar carefully and devoured a few more ghosts.
Fan Liang was carefully on guard against Li Xiuchang's possible sudden attack, but Li Xiuchang didn't move at all, and even asked him considerately: "Is it enough? If not, eat more."
Fan Liang felt for a moment that he had become a pig raised in a pig pen, and Li Xiuchang was a pig farmer. He wished he could feed him more food.
Fan Liang was furious and hurriedly retreated to Tang Yan.
Tang Yan was much more prepared, and succeeded in breaking through before Fan Liang, and was promoted to the third level!
Ghost cultivators are similar to demon cultivators. At the low cultivation stage, they practice much faster than righteous cultivators, and their breakthroughs are easier.
It's just that after the cultivation level is high, the mental state is not as stable as that of the righteous monks, and it is easy to be trapped in the tribulation of inner demons.
As soon as Tang Yan broke through, Fan Liangzhong felt a lot more at ease, and he quickly caught up with his companions.
After Tang Yan broke through to the third level, the first thing he did was to try to break free from the control of the Soul Control Seal.
However, after this brief attempt, his expression changed drastically, and he actually failed!
He tried again without believing in evil, only to find that the control of the soul-controlling seal was unbreakable. He was like a dog tied by an iron chain, unable to break free no matter what.
The prerequisite for him to be confident that he can break free of the soul-controlling seal is that he must be one level ahead of Li Xiuchang in cultivation, that is, he is at the third level, and Li Xiuchang is still in the foundation-building stage.
But in fact, Li Xiuchang was already in the middle stage of the golden elixir, which was a small level higher than Tang Yan. He also practiced physical training, and his spiritual consciousness was even better than the average middle stage of the golden elixir.
Tang Yan vaguely guessed something, with fear and regret in his eyes, and wanted to remind Fan Liang who was standing beside him.
But Li Xiuchang only conveyed an order through the soul control seal, and he could not disobey it. He had to stay where he was without saying a word.
Finally, Fan Liang on the side also successfully broke through to the third level, and his face couldn't help but reveal joy. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Tang Yan standing motionless beside him.
Fan Liang realized something was wrong and quickly tried to break free from the control of the soul control seal. Needless to say, he failed.
Li Xiuchang couldn't help but applaud and celebrate: "Very good, both of you have successfully broken through to the third level, double happiness."
Fan Liang knelt down on the ground and bowed his head: "Master, I deserve death for listening to this rebellious guy like Tang Yan. Please give me a chance. From now on, I will definitely work hard to serve my master!"
Li Xiuchang was too lazy to talk nonsense with the two ghosts of demon cultivators. What was there to talk about with the pigs?
He had not expected the two of them to be loyal to him from the beginning, and the current betrayal was not surprising to him.
What's more, he had no intention of truly accepting the two of them from the beginning.
Li Xiuchang raised his hand and shot out two rays of black light, scattering the souls of Tang Yan and Fan Liang. The two were suppressed by the soul control seal and could not resist at all.
He waved the rainbow soul flag in his hand and collected the broken souls of two third-order ghosts into it. At the same time, he transmitted messages to Su Qingchun, Wangcai and the Ghost Wolf King in the soul flags, asking them to share the two third-order ghosts. Cooperate with the ghost flower to attack the third level!
A monk's transformation from foundation building to golden elixir is a qualitative change, and so is the shadow soul. There is a world of difference between the second-level and third-level shadow souls.
For Wangcai and others, two third-level ghosts are far more effective than absorbing more third-level and lower ghosts.
This is also the reason why Li Xiuchang acquiesced to Fan Liang and Tang Yan absorbing the ghosts in the Yin Altar.
After doing all this, Li Xiuchang looked at the soul pillar on the high platform.
Fan Liang and Tang Yan did not swallow all the ghosts, and some of them remained.
However, over the years, all the ghosts inside have been transformed into evil ghosts, and they cannot be employed as part-time workers, so they can only be used as feed.
Li Xiuchang directly smashed the soul pillar, and in an instant hundreds of ghosts rushed out and rushed towards him.
Li Xiuchang waved the rainbow soul flag and included all the ghosts in it.
At this time, Chen Changsheng also showed up and looked at the abandoned stronghold of the Demon Sect.
He had been hiding in the dark just now, but it was just two little ghosts under Li Xiuchang who rebelled, and there was really no need for him to take action.
He said with emotion: "The natural formation is indeed hidden. The level of this formation is not high, but even a strong person in the Lianxu or even the Hedao stage may overlook it if he is not careful."
Li Xiuchang thought for a while and asked, "Is it possible that the demon-sealing place in Niujiao Ridge is also hidden in a natural formation somewhere?"
The reason why he speculated like this was because the four immortal sects had searched Niujiao Ridge back and forth countless times, but they could never find the location of the demon-sealing place.
It would make sense if it was hidden by a natural formation.
Chen Changsheng nodded in agreement: "It's possible, but I probably already know the location of the Demon Sealed Land."
Li Xiuchang was not surprised at all. Nothing seemed to be surprising to his neighbor brothers. He just asked out of curiosity: "Where?"
Chen Changsheng took out a blood jade-like baby and said: "I sensed that the owner of the blood baby, that is, the demonic monk in the god-transformation stage, is in Niujiao Ridge. His hiding place is Feng Where the devil is."
Li Xiuchang thought about it carefully and felt that it was very possible.
The entire Niujiao Ridge is controlled by the four major immortal sects. The demon cultivators inside have either escaped or been captured by the four major immortal sects. However, the owner of the blood baby can still hide in Niujiao Ridge calmly. He must be in an extremely hidden place.
Thinking back to the identity of the blood baby's owner, he is a god-transformation monk of the Blood Demon Path!
The demon-sealing place was discovered by the Blood Flower Sect, a force of the Blood Demon Dao.
"Senior brother, should we go and investigate first, or report it directly to the sect?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"Let's go and take a look first."
Chen Changsheng held the blood baby in his hand, determined the specific location of the blood baby's owner, and prepared to approach the blood baby's owner with Li Xiuchang.
But at this moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook.
what happened?
Another earthquake?
Li Xiuchang glanced at Senior Brother Chen Changsheng and confirmed that it was not Senior Brother Chen who made the noise this time.
And this time the shaking was obviously more intense.
"All disciples of the four major sects, withdraw from Niujiaoling immediately!"
A voice came from the sky, shaking the mountains and stopping the clouds. Even Li Xiuchang, who was underground, could hear it clearly.
"What happened?"
Li Xiuchang's intuition was that something big had happened, but with Senior Brother Chen Changsheng by his side, he was not panicked.
Then he heard the voice from the sky continue: "The seal of the Demon Sealed Land has been broken, and the demon is about to be born. Everyone leave quickly!"
Li Xiuchang was really shocked this time. They were just about to go to find the Demon Sealed Land, and the seal was broken in the next second?
Did the conspiracy of the demon succeed?
Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng immediately left the cave, looked up, and saw a black mushroom cloud formed by a demonic energy rising into the sky from a distance.
An elder from the Ascension Pavilion stood in the sky, using a loudspeaker to shout to the entire Niujiaoling, constantly urging the people from the four major sects to evacuate.
The elder from the Ascension Pavilion reminded again: "If you find a small green unidentified monster, please stay away quickly. This monster is extremely dangerous. It is the culprit who released the demon. It is very likely a monster raised by the demon cultivator.
"I repeat, if you see it, don't provoke it, stay away quickly, and report it to the elders of the sect immediately!"
Crack!
There was a sound of an egg being crushed next to it. It turned out that Chen Changsheng accidentally crushed the blood baby in his hand.
