Accompanied by the Daoist's voice, a series of tight explosions resounded in the cave along with a gust of wind. The sound should still be more than twenty miles away. It was unknown how many Explosive Talismans had been used to clear the way, resulting in such a loud vibration.

The speed at which they were advancing towards those people was extremely fast. In just a few breaths of time, they had already approached a distance of three hundred meters. It seemed that they would be able to find this place in less than an hour.

Qin Lie's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his calm, and waited slowly for the Dark Epiphyllum before him to wither. Even the last petal was withered and withered. In the center of the flower, there were finally three strawberry like black fruits that stuck out bit by bit. Just as the three Black Ephemeral Fruits were about to fall to the ground, Qin Lie caught them.

According to the ancient records, the outer leaves of the Dark Epiphyllum contained a strong poison that could kill anyone who touched it. However, the spirit fruit that it had formed naturally did not contain any trace of poison. On the contrary, it was fragrant and the color was alluring.

Qin Lie swiftly received it, immediately took out his spatial pouch, and carefully placed it into a jade bottle. Then, without hesitation, he used two spirit techniques specifically to eliminate the sound and smell, and turned around and left with Duan Yun. It was just that they had only walked five or six miles, and they were not even close to the deep pit he had opened. The voices from before were already close at hand. Another branch of the underground river came rushing out. It was only two miles away.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Qin Lie raised his eyebrows, then felt helpless.

With the speed of these people, it was impossible to avoid them. If he continued like this, he would be discovered sooner or later.

None of the auras that were approaching had been hidden. There were many experts amongst them. Other than a few Sky-high Fighter s, there were even Soul Mirror Realm s and Profound Arts Master s.

It was obviously even more unwise for him to come into contact with such a treasure now that he possessed it.

Looking around, Qin Lie suddenly had a thought. Looking up, there was a natural depression in the ceiling.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Lie once again used a [Absolute Sound Technique] and a [Terminator Spirit Rune]. It caused the ripples and sounds of the Spiritual Energy to temporarily die down. Then, he grabbed Duan Yun up and down the dome. As for the three stone puppets, they were climbing upwards. He inserted his hands and feet into the soil and rocks at the top. After that, their bodies changed. In just a short moment, they were no different from ordinary granite, firmly covering their figures.

The two of them had just finished concealing their presence. He saw a group of people coming from another corner through the hidden gap that had been deliberately set aside.

The two people at the forefront wore heavy iron armor all over their bodies, as if they were martial generals. Their steps were extremely heavy, but they carried Heavenly Completion Stage.

After the two of them, there was another middle-aged man. Dressed in a green robe, there were faint black Spirit Patterns on both his hands and neck. Looking at the pattern, it seemed to be a Spiritual Array that extended all the way to his face.

A blue-colored flame was suspended above his head, illuminating the entire cave as though it was daytime. However, it also emitted a gloomy and sinister aura.

Beside this person was an old man in his fifties. His hair was dark red, and his eyes seemed to be filled with electricity, giving off a valiant aura.

Behind these people, there were twenty ninth stage Black Tortoise cultivators. Another group of people, who looked to be in a sorry state, were being dragged along by chains.

Most of them had Demon Beast characteristics on their bodies, which varied in degree. Some had beast ears, others had beast tails, and some had thick fur. However, all of them were riddled with wounds, and only had some broken steps to cover their bodies. Her hands and feet were shackled. Some of the taller ones even had steel nails that pierced through the joints and tendons of their hands and feet.

Most of them could only be kept up to the point that they could barely keep up. If their speed were to be slightly slower, they would be forcefully whipped by the Martial Cultivator s.

Duan Yun's body tensed up immediately. Qin Lie also frowned, the people who were shackled were all at Demon Clan.

Then, his gaze shifted to the few people in front of him. The two Sky-high Fighter s didn't have anything worth noting.

Not only could he not compare to Li Xieling, even compared to 'Sly Sword' Jiang Yichen and the rest, he was still far inferior.

At most, he would be on the same level as that old man Zhu from the Demon Corpse Mountain of the Blood Spirit Valley.

Only that Nirvana Stage and Profound Arts Master needed to be paid a little attention. The former's qi and blood was fierce and stable, and his martial arts had reached a certain level.

The Spiritual Array on his body evidently originated from the hands of the Profound Arts Master above the Sun Tour. If the Heavenly Talisman was drawn on the body, once it entered the realm of nocturnal travel, one could grasp a certain amount of Immortal Talisman spirit arts in advance.

This was similar to the Immortal Talisman spirit seed that Ancestor Ling Yun had left behind, but the latter's methods were much more profound.

The two of them were not easy to deal with. The twenty Myriad Profound Stage Cultivator s behind them moved in unison.

That day, he was able to kill Li Xieling, but he did not have much confidence to deal with the encirclement of these people.

The middle-aged Profound Arts Master had just walked out of the fork in the road, when he suddenly stopped and looked around in confusion.

That old man also stopped right after, his face full of expectation: "Why did Mr. Mingshu stop? Did he discover something?"

Ming Jue shook his head and continued to observe closely. After a while, he shook his head and said: "It might be my misconception. The change in the Spiritual Energy here seems a little unnatural. "At this fork in the road, where the air currents meet, it is truly too quiet …"

The old man was slightly disappointed, but he continued to think: "Speaking of which, when I sensed the Spiritual Sense, I also felt that there was something wrong here. After that, when he used his spiritual will to scan the place, other than the silence of the Spiritual Energy, there was nothing else abnormal. Most likely it was formed naturally, looking at the distribution of Spiritual Stone here, it seems to be a little sparse. "

That resolution did not fully dispel the doubts in his heart. His brows were still tightly knitted, as if he was stretching out his consciousness and sweeping around in all directions. Following that, he heard the old man's tone change as he sighed, "However, this time, it was truly Mr Jue's fault. If it wasn't for Mister using the Blood Yuan Finger technique. I, Han Yan, was almost kept in the dark, and almost thought that this place really only had a small-scale rank 1 mine. Hehe, no wonder that Huangfu Cheng would put so much capital in order to compete with me. With the combined force of more than five hundred thousand soldiers, several dozen The Mighty Ones of The Sky s were invited to attack my True Sun City! "This time, I really have to thank Mr. Ming Deng--"

After hearing that, Ming Yi became more relaxed and smiled reservedly: "There is no need to thank me. Our Devil Flag Sect is not helping Mayor for nothing. As long as Mayor Dou is still able to remember the discussions from before! "

Qin Lie's eyes flashed. Since this old man who called himself Han Yan was a Mayor of Zhengyang City, then the Huangfu Cheng in his words must be a Mayor of Guiyun City.

Although it was not comparable to the Five Great Ling Mansion Sacred Grounds, the strength of the sect was not weak either. The amount of spirit land they occupied, added together, was not inferior to the last few spots of the five Ling Mansion s. There were also a few Sun King Profound Arts Master and Broken Rank experts in the sect.

However, this sect was one of the Devil Sect, and Han Yan could be heard laughing, his laughter filled with boldness: "Naturally! This Spiritual Stone mine should be above stage two, middle grade. In the future, they would receive eighty-two percent of the profit. I am the second in Zhengyang City while you are the eighth! I will not go back on my word. However, we still need the Gui Yun City and the Hidden Sword Villa behind the city to help me repel them. "

The last few words were obviously filled with hints of inquiry. It was not worth it to just throw a cold glare at him. He suddenly grabbed with his hand, and grabbed the tiger tattoos on the Demon Clan s, bringing them in front of his eyes. A few claw chains came out from his sleeves and broke their heads apart. Astonishingly, there seemed to be blood-red insects squirming within the brain.

Once again, he used the spirit art, and the heads of these Demon Clan immediately began to blaze with blood. For a time, the cave was filled with the wails of pain.

However, after a while, the bloody flames spread all over his body. A ball of blood-red light appeared in Daoist Ming Yi's hand as well, coiling around his palm unsteadily.

A few breaths later, disappointment appeared in Ming Jue's eyes: "Weird, I checked earlier and found the core is nearby. However, after using the Blood Yuan Ring's spirit art several times, he was unable to pinpoint the direction. "

He then looked behind him, at Ming Jue's face, and became even more worried: "There are not many left, I can only cast it twice." If we cannot find it, we can only give up for now. "

Han Yan also frowned, "If Mister needs a blood spirit, then outside of Zhengyang City, there are many hungry people who have no way to live. "As long as it is used by mister —"

"Mayor Han is generous, we are willing to accept your kind offer! However, my Blood Yuan Finger Spirit Art is not that simple. "

Ming Jue shook his head lightly: "The Blood Spirit Sacrifice this method requires must have a certain amount of Cultivation Level s. The stronger the spirit of the material, the more effective it is. Therefore, these Demon Clan are the best, these people have fused with the ancient Demon Beast's bloodline and are extremely well-preserved, so using the Blood Yuan Finger technique is the best choice! "

"So that's how it is!" Han Yan revealed an understanding look, and then laughed involuntarily: "Speaking of these Demon Clan, it's really funny. He did not want to be a good person, but had to be in the same group as those beasts. If he were to fuse with those Divine Beasts and Blood Essence, wouldn't that mean that he was no different from a beast? Even his temperament was similar to those wild beasts, violent and savage. "Speaking of which, this old man has been wondering why the various sects have not joined hands to completely exterminate these monsters …"

Before his voice fell, the surrounding Myriad Profound Stage Cultivator s all burst out in laughter, containing a hint of ridicule.

Duan Yun frowned, his expression gradually revealing a touch of coldness.

Qin Lie was also silent for a while. According to the historical records, in the ancient times, Homo Sapiens did not have the advantage at all.

Homo Sapiens were almost extinct. Some of the human warriors were not willing to die, and took the initiative to fuse with the various Divine Beasts s, barely recovering the advantage.

After tens of generations of wars, the position of Homo Sapiens was finally established.

However, the Homo Sapiens had only stabilized for a hundred years, and it had already begun to reject these people who had fused with the blood of beasts, and regarded them as unusual.

It was either to kill or to capture him as a slave, and only when another clan was established did the situation improve slightly.

However, the situation had only turned for the better. There were still many large cities in the Homo Sapiens that wantonly hunted down and killed Demon Clan s.

On his way here, he had the status of a Young Lord of The Sky Demon Martial School to rely on with Heavenly Demon Sect. Even though those Homo Sapiens were contemptuous and despicable in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out loud, nor could they show any disrespect, as they could not feel any form of discrimination.

It was only at this moment that he finally realized the contempt and hostility that pervaded the human race, the helplessness and sadness on his Demon Clan, and the fact that there was such a beast-like existence.

If it was ten thousand years ago, those Homo Sapiens experts who had resisted the fate of destruction and assimilated into the blood of the Divine Beasts, and knew that their own descendants would encounter such a miserable situation, what would they think?

Would it sacrifice itself for others, and fuse with the Divine Beasts's blood? Would he still fight to the death with the Vicious Beasts s, and then let his own descendants be scolded as animals, and wantonly humiliate and kill them?

A wave of gloom gathered in his chest. Qin Lie sighed helplessly and rolled his eyes, looking up at the stone wall in a daze.

Speaking of which, Han Yan had been so ruthless and heartless to his own kind, and his own Children. There was no need to think about how such a person would treat Demon Clan.

They said that his Demon Clan was emotionless and cruel, and that he was bloodthirsty and aggressive. However, this True Sun Mayor Han Yan was also in a bad mood. It could even be said that a beast was worse than one — "Extinguish?" Ming Jue shook his head and curled his lips in disdain: "If Demon Clan is truly extinct, where is our Devil Flag Sect going to find such good raw materials for the Blood Spirit? Nearly twenty percent of the Divine Beasts bloodlines require Demon Clan to use the Devil Sect. Don't let my Master hear your words. Otherwise, you will definitely be reprimanded! "

"So that's how it is!"

Han Yan was also not embarrassed at all, and after he broke out into laughter, his expression suddenly changed again as he said, "Speaking of Demon Clan, I actually remember an extremely funny and strange thing! Just yesterday, a Sky-high Fighter came knocking on their door and delivered many Beast Crystal, and a few of them were actually Fifth Rank. He said that he was ordered by the Young Lord to buy food to give those people a way out. Mr. Ming Zheng, is this a joke? Could this son of the Demon Lord have a screw loose? Recently, I've been worrying about the gathering of troops. Since I couldn't bear it anymore, someone sent the money over himself. Unfortunately, that idiot Huangfu Cheng also got some Beast Crystal. At that time, he was preparing to send someone to the nearby city to buy rice and prepare to scatter the rations. It's not good for this old man to say all of this. "Although those lowly commoners seem to be irritating, in the end, they are still of some use …"

His words were filled with ridicule. Qin Lie sat quietly atop the dome, pretending to not hear anything.

On the other side, Ming Dong suddenly frowned, revealing a vigilant look. "Young Lord of The Sky Demon Martial School? But, the son of Qin Wuya, the Qin Lie who came from the Demon Suppressing King Palace? "

"It's that guy!" Han Yan nodded his head, and a sinister look surfaced in his eyes: "I wonder if Mr. Ming Zheng is interested in joining me in voting for this round? Since this person was able to take out so many Beast Crystal, he definitely had a lot with him. Even if the news spreads in the future, with Sir having the support of the Devil Flag Sect, I can still rely on Yunxia Mountain s or Raging Flame Mountain s. No matter how strong the Heavenly Demon Sect is, it can't do anything to you and me! "

Hearing that, Qin Lie subconsciously grinned, thinking that this Han Yan was truly a bandit with a deep and vicious name. It was as if he was a saint, while Duan Yun's right hand was on the sword, his eyes were filled with coldness. He wanted to jump down and tear Han Yan's body into pieces so that he could get rid of the harm.
