Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"You should have heard our conversation. Next, I'm going to leave a secret spell for controlling the soul of your demonic infants. You can choose to resist, or I will kill you directly!"

Lu Cheng'an stared intently at the two fourth-tier demonic beasts, Gui Mu and Xue He, his killing intent surging forth from his body and crashing towards them.

Guimu and Xuehe have completely lost their ability to fight. If Lu Chengan wanted to kill them, he could do it in a single breath.

The two demons, Guimu and Xuehe, looked pale and were still in shock. They had been captured alive by Lu Chengan and his two human Nascent Soul cultivators.

They heard Lu Cheng'an's words. Should they resist?

If they resist, they will surely be killed by Lu Cheng'an.

They are fourth-tier demon kings, high and mighty, unwilling to be insulted or controlled!

But under the threat of death, it doesn't seem like much anymore; after all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die.

Being under Lu Cheng'an's control, they still have a chance to break free in the future; but if they die now, they will have nothing left.

Moreover, they had no deep-seated hatred for Lu Cheng'an, and their attack on the Lu family was merely on the orders of the Butterfly Demon King.

Furthermore, although they are collectively referred to as demonic beasts by human cultivators, they are well aware that they are also divided into different groups.

The Ghostwood Demon King is a demon formed from the Xuan Yin Ghostwood, and it does not have a clan.

However, the Snow Crane Demon King was born into the Jade Flow Snow Crane Clan, which only had the Snow Crane Demon King as a fourth-tier early-stage demon beast.

If the Snow Crane Demon King dies at Lu Cheng'an's hands, then the Jade Flow Snow Crane Clan may be wiped out in the Hong'e Mountains.

After all, the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains are currently at war with the cultivation world of Qingzhou, requiring a large number of low-level demonic beasts to be deployed.

"I heard you, I am willing to surrender, and I will not resist!"

Whether it was because he was afraid of death or because he was thinking of his clan, the Snow Crane Demon King ultimately decided to live!

After hearing the voice of the Snow Crane Demon King beside him, the Ghostwood Demon King finally came to his senses. He did not mock the Snow Crane Demon King's thoughts, because he did not want to die like this either!
However, the Ghostwood Demon King did not speak directly like the Snow Crane Demon King. He had already made up his mind that if Lu Cheng'an left any Taiyuan Demon Control Soul-Controlling Secret Curse in his demon infant, he would not resist.

Let this be the last bit of dignity he can have as a mid-stage fourth-tier demon king!
After seeing the Ghostwood Demon King's reaction, Lu Cheng'an knew what the Ghostwood Demon King was really thinking, but he did not expose it.

“Ningyu, you have now left the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul-Controlling Secret Spell in the Snow Crane Demon King’s demon infant,” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

Shi Ningyu nodded slightly. She quickly cast a spell with both hands, and a moment later, a ray of spiritual light surged from between her eyebrows and entered the Snow Crane Demon King's demon infant.

The Snow Crane Demon King trembled slightly, instinctively wanting to resist, but after feeling Lu Cheng'an's cold gaze, he quickly suppressed his body's instinctive reaction.

The Snow Crane Demon King's demon infant is relatively weak. Even though Shi Ningyu has already used the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Spell to control the late-stage third-order Turtle Elder, she still has the power to control the Snow Crane Demon King.

The fact that the Snow Crane Demon King did not resist when Shi Ningyu cast the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Spell greatly reduced the difficulty of imprinting the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Spell into the Snow Crane Demon King's demon seal.

Not long after, Shi Ningyu withdrew the spell. She had successfully imprinted the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Mantra into the Snow Crane Demon King's demon seal.

Without outside help, unless the Snow Crane Demon King's demon infant power surpasses Shi Ningyu's nascent soul power, he will never be able to escape the control of the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Spell.

Shi Ningyu can inflict great pain on the Snow Crane Demon King through the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Spell, and at the same time, she can also control the Snow Crane Demon King's life and death through the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Spell.

After sensing the additional curse mark within his demon infant, the Snow Crane Demon King's expression changed several times.

Although he had agreed to accept Lu Cheng'an and Lu Cheng'an's control, he still found it hard to accept once it became a reality.

However, the Snow Crane Demon King was only momentarily distracted; he quickly regained his composure.

Although they would be under the control of Lu Cheng'an and his two human cultivators, at least they had saved their lives.

After seeing that Shi Ningyu had successfully left the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Curse in the Snow Crane Demon King's demon infant, Lu Cheng'an turned his attention back to the Ghost Wood Demon King.

At this moment, the expression on the Ghostwood Demon King's face did not change much; he had already accepted the reality that he would be subject to Lu Cheng'an's control.

"I am about to leave the Taiyuan Demon Control and Soul Mantra within your demon infant. I hope you will not resist!"

The moment Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, he quickly cast a spell, and then a ray of spiritual light shot out from between his eyebrows and quickly entered the demonic infant of the Ghost Wood Demon King.

Upon seeing this scene, the Snow Crane Demon King felt much better, because the Ghost Wood Demon King's cultivation was a level higher than his.

Now that the Demon King of Ghostwood is going to leave the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul-Controlling Secret Spell in the demon infant just like him, what else is there for him to be upset about?

The Ghostwood Demon King accepted reality much faster than the Snow Crane Demon King. When Lu Cheng'an branded the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Spell into his demon infant, the Ghostwood Demon King did not put up any resistance.

During this time, the Ghostwood Demon King was also quite alarmed. Lu Cheng'an not only possessed extremely terrifying strength, but his Nascent Soul power was also terrifying.

He deduced from the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Incantation that this incantation required a powerful spiritual force to be cast. Although his demon infant was not particularly powerful, it was still stronger than that of a human cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm.

The fact that Lu Cheng'an was able to imprint the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Mantra on his demon infant proves that Lu Cheng'an's nascent soul power is stronger than his demon infant's, and by a significant margin.

What terrified him even more was that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had only been at the Nascent Soul stage for a very short time.

He already possesses such formidable power; how strong will he become after a few more years of cultivation?
"You should be able to feel the power of the Taiyuan Demon Control and Soul Mantra. Through this mantra, I can take your lives at any time."

Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King, and he continued, "You two lead the demon beasts of the Hong'e Mountains to retreat now, and then just stall for time and don't return to the Hong'e Mountains."

This was Lu Cheng'an's main purpose in using the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Mantra to control these two fourth-tier demonic beasts.

If he were to kill the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King directly, it might attract more attention from the Sacred Heart Sect and the demon beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

At that time, there is a possibility that a late-stage fourth-order demonic beast will attack the Lu family.

After making arrangements for the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snowcrane Demon King, Lu Cheng'an quickly returned to the Lu family's mountain gate with Shi Ningyu. At the same time, the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snowcrane Demon King, following Lu Cheng'an's instructions, also issued the order to retreat.

With the Ghostwood Demon King and Snow Crane Demon King under the control of Lu Cheng'an and his companion, the demon beasts below the fourth rank did not gain any advantage when attacking the Lu family's mountain gate.

The Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Formation is of the fourth-grade lower level. Without the intervention of fourth-grade demonic beasts, the attacks of demonic beasts below the fourth grade alone cannot break through the defense of this formation.

Those third-tier demonic beasts that had already gained intelligence wanted to retreat long ago, but without the orders of the two fourth-tier demonic beasts, Ghostwood Demon King and Snow Crane Demon King, even though they knew that attacking would mean certain death, they dared not retreat even half a step.

After the Ghostwood Demon King and Snow Crane Demon King gave the order to retreat, the third-tier demon beasts who had long been considering retreating immediately left the range of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Formation's attack.

"Those monsters have retreated!"

"The Supreme Elder must have won. I just wonder if those two fourth-tier demon kings were killed by the Supreme Elder!"

…………

After the demon beast army retreated, the Lu family cultivators in the Lu family mountain gate cheered.

The fierce attack of the demonic beasts did not cause any losses to the Lu family; it only depleted some of their magical power.

After returning to the Lu family's mountain gate, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu instructed Lu Wenxing and other Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family to handle the aftermath of the battle.

The number of demonic beasts that died under the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Formation was large. The materials from these demonic beasts were of considerable value. If they were refined into magic weapons and talismans, they could bring more benefits to the Lu family.

The Ghostwood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King are currently under the control of Lu Cheng'an and his companion, so the Lu family doesn't need to worry about them suddenly launching a counterattack.

After briefly explaining things to Lu Wenxing and the other Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an began to send messages to inquire about the situation of the Dan Ding Sect and other cultivation forces around the Lu family, as well as the Nascent Soul sects such as the Desolate Ancient Sect.

Ghostwood Demon King and Snow Crane Demon King directly led their demon beast army to attack the Lu family, without diverting their forces to attack other cultivation forces such as Dan Ding Sect.

After the news from Dan Ding Sect arrived, Shi Ningyu was finally able to relax completely.

The Ancient Desolate Sect's reply came a little late, as they had just repelled the attack of the demon beast army.

Among the fourth-tier demon kings attacking the Ancient Desolate Sect was the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, who was at the peak of the fourth tier. This demon king, at the peak of the fourth tier, had returned to the Hong'e Mountains with the Butterfly Transformation Demon King, and his strength was extremely terrifying.

Let alone Qiongmiao Zhenjun, a newly promoted cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, even Lieyang Zhenjun of Haoyang Sect might not be able to defeat the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King.

The Nascent Soul Perfection Realm True Monarch Qiongmiao did indeed shock the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, while the Jinggu Seal jointly unleashed by Suigu True Monarch and Kushi True Monarch caused the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King to suffer a great loss.

After exchanging ideas with Lu Cheng'an, Sui Gu Zhenjun gained a deeper understanding of the Jing Gu Seal. After a period of dedicated study, he cultivated this supernatural power to the point of mastery.

With the help of the Ancient Lord of the Year, the Ancient Lord of the Dead Time cultivated the Ancient Seal of Stillness to a minor level of accomplishment.

Even if their combined use of the Jinggu Seal wasn't quite as good as Lu Cheng'an's, it wasn't far off.

Their target for attacking with the Tranquil Ancient Seal was the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, who was at the fourth-order perfect realm. Their strength was far inferior to that of the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King, so the Tranquil Ancient Seal had relatively little effect on him.

After activating the Ancient Seal of Stillness, they only made the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King stop for two seconds.

This time is extremely short, but in a battle between cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, even a moment can determine the outcome.

In those two instants, True Monarch Qiongmiao made a sudden move and summoned a top-grade fourth-tier attack talisman treasured by the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Although the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King was extremely powerful, it was still severely injured by the ferocious attack of True Monarch Qiongmiao.

After suffering heavy losses, the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King did not hesitate at all and immediately issued a retreat order.

The Three-Headed Flaming Python Demon King did not hide anything; after being severely injured by the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Ancient Desolate Sect, he immediately informed the Butterfly Transformation Demon King.

This completely thwarted the plans of the Sacred Heart Ancestor and the Butterfly Demon King, because their plan was to first destroy the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Afterwards, the Three-Headed Flaming Python Demon King led his army of demon beasts to support the cultivators attacking the Suspended Mirror Sect. Once the Suspended Mirror Sect was destroyed, they would launch a joint attack on the Haoyang Sect.

No matter how powerful Haoyang Sect is, it will be impossible to withstand the attack of so many fourth-tier demon kings.

However, the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King and other demonic beasts not only failed to destroy the Ancient Desolate Sect, but were also severely injured by it, making it impossible for them to carry out their next plan.

After the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King led his army of demon beasts in retreat, he did not go too far from the Ancient Desolate Sect.

After informing the Butterfly Demon King of the news about the Ancient Desolate Sect, he immediately made arrangements.

He ordered the Iron Bear Demon King and the Silver Wolf Demon King to lead their respective armies of demon beasts to attack the Golden Core cultivators within the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

The Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King's original plan was the same as that of the Ghost Wood Demon King. They wanted to directly break through the gates of the Ancient Desolate Sect and destroy it, without taking action against the Golden Core cultivators within the Ancient Desolate Sect's territory.

Now that he has suffered a major setback in the Ancient Desolate Sect, he has changed his original plan and begun to target other cultivation forces within the Ancient Desolate Sect's territory.

The number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Desolate Ancient Sect is extremely limited. Now that Demon Kings like Iron Bear are attacking the Golden Core forces within the Desolate Ancient Sect's territory, even if the Desolate Ancient Sect wanted to provide support, it would be impossible for them to do so.

Although the Ancient Desolate Sect managed to block the attack of the demonic beasts from the Hong'e Mountains, all the Golden Core cultivators within its territory will be wiped out, which will greatly weaken the Ancient Desolate Sect's strength.

The Suspended Mirror Sect and the Haoyang Sect have not yet been breached, but their current situation is not good either; they are merely struggling to hold on.

Their Golden Core cultivators within their territory have also suffered severe damage. Now, Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect have issued a notice, ordering all cultivators within their territory to enter the mountain gates of Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect to jointly resist the onslaught of demonic beasts.

However, the gates of Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect are currently under attack by demonic beasts. Even if the cultivators within their territory are willing to abandon their sects and enter Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect to avoid disaster, it will be difficult for them to cross the demonic beast army and enter the gates of Haoyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect.

The situation in the cultivation world of Qingzhou is not optimistic, and the situation in the cultivation world of Hezhou is even worse.

Because the main attackers in the cultivation world of Hezhou were cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect. (End of Chapter)
