Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 355 Appearance
After all, they are now on the same side, so the stronger they are, the better.

Soon, under the leadership of the Ye family's great elder, and right under Nie Zhaonan's nose, the Ye family's cultivators reached a cooperation with the ancient demon.

Seeing this, Han Li looked at Senior Brother Nie, who was as still as a mountain, with some trepidation in his heart, feeling a little anxious.

In terms of the number of Nascent Soul cultivators and the number of late Nascent Soul cultivators, the other side far outnumbers them.

Moreover, the ancient demon in the late Nascent Soul stage is far more powerful than the ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just when Han Li thought that a great battle was about to begin, Nie Zhaonan suddenly looked towards a group of white mist hundreds of feet away and said calmly:
"Please come out, my fellow Taoist in the dark. Do you still need me to do it myself?"

"You are worthy of being the person these monks are so afraid of. You can even see through our whereabouts." An old woman's voice came from the fog, with a hint of surprise.

As the sound spread, the white mist gradually dissipated, revealing a man and a beast hidden in it, slowly flying towards this side.

"Lions and beasts!"

The square-faced cultivator of the Ye family was shocked, and the expressions of other cultivators of the Ye family also changed slightly. They did not expect that this man and this beast were hiding hundreds of feet away, secretly spying on this place, and they had not noticed it at all before.

The man and the beast were the lion beast and the extremely ugly woman in black clothes. In a moment, they came to the side of Wanxiu Gate, dozens of feet away, and stopped.

"Who are you, fellow Taoist? Why are you with lions and other beasts?" The eldest elder of the Ye family asked with a vigilant look.

When the Ye family was at the stone pavilion below, they had some conflicts with the lion-like beast, and this ugly woman was obviously in the same group as the lion-like beast, which made him a little alert.

"My name is Gui Ling." The ugly woman did not look at the eldest elder of the Ye family, but introduced herself to Nie Zhaonan.

After watching in secret for such a long time, she naturally understood that those Ye family cultivators were obviously very afraid of this cultivator named Nie Zhaonan, and they even directly compared him with a Jindan cultivator. This forced her to treat him with caution.

Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly as if he had just learned the ugly woman's name, and said:

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Kei."

"Nie also wants to have a friendly conversation with fellow Taoists, but some people are unwilling to come out, as if they think that Nie has not seen through his actions."

After saying that, Nie Zhaonan looked again at the place where Gui Ling and the lion beast appeared. To be precise, it was an ordinary big tree dozens of feet behind that place.

“Mu Kui, this kind of monster is indeed very talented in hiding, but if you want to hide it from my eyes, your skills are still a little lacking.” Nie Zhaonan said in a light tone and directly called out his name.

Seeing that he was really discovered, Mu Kui knew that he could no longer hide. Then, a flash of light appeared on the seemingly ordinary tree, and a tall green figure emerged silently from the tree.

A pair of ice-cold green eyes glanced coldly at all the monks present, and the chill in his eyes made many monks shudder in their hearts.

At this time, the green light around Mu Kui dimmed, and his entire body was revealed.

At first glance, this wooden monster has complete limbs, head and skull, and resembles a human. However, both its face and body are covered with something like bark, making it look more like a strange tree that can walk.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Nie!" As soon as Fang appeared, Mu Kui immediately greeted Nie Zhaonan.

Although he didn't know what the specific magical powers of Brother Daoist Nie were, he could see his hidden magical powers, which made him extremely serious.

He may not be as good as other level ten monsters in fighting, but in terms of concealment, among the same level, Nie Zhaonan is still the first one to see through his whereabouts.

"Fellow Daoist Mu Kui, why didn't you come out to meet us two earlier? What are you trying to do by hiding behind us?" Gui Ling looked at Mu Kui with gritted teeth and said in a cold voice.

The lion-beast also had a bad look on its face, with a fierce light flashing in its red eyes.

While the two demons were filled with rage, they also had some rough guesses about Nie Zhaonan's strength. It was no surprise that he was above the two of them, otherwise, he would not have been able to reveal Mu Kui's whereabouts so easily.

At least, for such a long time, the two of them didn't notice that someone was secretly watching them.

Mu Kui turned into a ball of green light and fled towards the Wan Xiu Gate, explaining in a leisurely tone:
"I didn't come out simply because I'm not strong enough. I don't think my magical powers can compare to those of you two fellow Taoists."

"One of you is a level 10 Black Rock Turtle, with a terrifying defensive power, and the other is a lion beast that is good at escape. Are you afraid that I will attack you two by surprise? Besides, even if I want to attack you by surprise, I am powerless."

"I think you just want to take advantage of your amazing concealment ability and reap the benefits in the end." Gui Ling didn't believe Mu Kui's explanation at all, and his voice was still cold.

Gui Ling is also an old demon who has lived for tens of thousands of years, so he can naturally guess what Mu Kui is thinking.

This Mu Kui had not revealed his whereabouts, hoping to seize the natal spirit tablet unexpectedly. He might also want to seize her and the lion beast's spirit tablets so as to control them both.

Regardless of the grudges between the three demons, Nie Zhaonan said calmly:

"Okay, since the three Taoist friends have come out, I will ask you a question. Do you three Taoist friends want to be my enemy, or something else?"

Hearing Nie Zhaonan's nonchalant tone, Mu Kui's green eyes turned and he said firmly:
"The Ye family cultivators are colluding with the ancient demons and want to release the ancient demon saint's soul to endanger the human world. This is absolutely intolerable. Moreover, we three demons also have the responsibility to protect Kunwu Mountain. Naturally, we can't go along with the Ye family cultivators."

When the Lion Beast and Gui Ling saw Mu Kui's righteous and loyal look, they secretly despised him in their hearts. They would not believe that this monster would remember his duty to protect Kunwu Mountain, but they surprisingly did not refute Mu Kui and tacitly agreed with what he said.

Nie Zhaonan raised his eyebrows and said calmly:
"You three demons want to remain neutral?"

"Hehe, I believe that with fellow Taoist's amazing magical powers, there is no need for us three demons to do anything." Mu Kui laughed strangely as his thoughts were exposed.

The Ye family cultivators heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. It was good that the three demons did not join forces with Nie Zhaonan, and it was even better that they remained neutral. In this way, even Nie Zhaonan would be wary of the presence of the three demons and would have to carefully consider whether to really fight with them, thus letting the three demons take advantage.

"Fellow Daoist Nie knows so much about Kunwu Mountain. Could it be that the Silver-Winged Yaksha told you? I just don't know where the Silver-Winged Yaksha is now." Gui Ling suddenly mentioned the Silver-Winged Yaksha and said half speculatively.

Nie Zhaonan didn't care what Gui Ling meant by that, he just said slowly:

"The reason I know the situation in Kunwu Mountain in such detail is entirely because of one of my Taoist companions. She has some connection with the demon concubine from the upper realm who is sealed in this mountain."

"Even if the Silver Winged Yaksha cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage, it was still just a corpse after all. It was too bloodthirsty and impulsive, and it provoked me, so my two Taoist companions killed it." As he said this, Nie Zhaonan glanced at Nie Ying and Chen Qiaoqian. "The two of them?" Gui Ling didn't even look at Nie Ying and Chen Qiaoqian, his eyes full of suspicion.

But Nie Ying and Chen Qiaoqian didn't pay attention to Gui Ling's gaze. They didn't want to say a word, let alone elaborate.

“The Silver-Winged Yaksha is a flying corpse in the late Nascent Soul stage after all. How could it be killed by two female cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage? It must have been seriously injured by Fellow Daoist Nie and then killed by these two female cultivators.” Gui Ling thought to himself.

No matter what, the Silver-Winged Yaksha is at the same level as her. Gui Ling would never believe that the two female cultivators in front of her are stronger than her.

Just as Gui Ling finished thinking, Nie Zhaonan looked at her and asked with a little interest:
"Fellow Daoist Gui, are you going to help Silver Winged Yaksha to get revenge?"

“How could this be possible?” Gui Ling hurriedly shook his short, thick, black neck, as if he didn’t recognize the Silver-winged Yaksha and said:
"Silver-winged Yaksha and I are just nodding acquaintances, and we only had some friendship in ancient times. Now tens of thousands of years have passed, and he is dead. As the saying goes, when a person dies, his debts are wiped out. Naturally, I will not do anything for him."

As soon as Gui Ling finished speaking, the lion beast opened its mouth and spoke in an unclear voice:

"But don't you have a good relationship with Silver Wing Yaksha? If Silver Wing Yaksha hadn't given you a Qingxu Pill, you would have been relapsed by the Blood Curse and become a fool without any intelligence."

"Shut up, you idiot!" Gui Ling yelled, and stretched out his hand to slap the lion beast beside him.

Because it was just a random attack, the lion-beast flapped its four wings on its back and dodged it easily.

"It seems that there is not much truth in what Brother Gui says." Nie Zhaonan looked confused, and the doubt in his words was not concealed at all.

Gui Ling did not show any panic on his face, he just said seriously word by word:

"Don't misunderstand, Fellow Daoist Nie. Silver-winged Yaksha did do me some favors, but I concealed this matter because I was afraid you would misunderstand me."

"But fellow Taoist, please do not doubt that what I said before is false. When a person dies, all debts are forgiven. I will never be so arrogant as to become an enemy of you just because of a dead person."

On the one hand, she didn't know how powerful Nie Zhaonan was and didn't want to fight with him.

On the other hand, she only came here to get back her natal spirit tablet and gain her freedom, and she really didn't want to get involved in other matters.

"When a person dies, his debts are wiped out? Is that how it works?"

Nie Zhaonan felt extremely strange, but he also realized that Gui Ling really had no intention of avenging the Silver-Winged Yaksha.

"Okay, since the three Taoist friends all want to remain neutral, I, Nie, am not the kind of person who is both a friend and an enemy. As long as the three Taoist friends do not take action, we will naturally not take the initiative to attack the three Taoist friends." Nie Zhaonan agreed.

"Of course." The three demons, Mu Kui, Gui Ling and the lion beast, nodded repeatedly.

Suddenly, Nie Zhaonan changed the subject and said:

"But then again, after I break the restriction, you all have to stay here and wait for me and my Taoist companions to slowly go up. You can't just follow me closely and sit back and enjoy the success."

"Fellow Daoist, do you have the means to easily break the ban?" Mu Kui obviously heard another meaning in Nie Zhaonan's words.

“The Gengjin Divine Thunder is extremely sharp and is especially good at breaking bans!” Before Nie Zhaonan could speak, the eldest elder of the Ye family suddenly thought of the flying sword that Nie Zhaonan had refined with the Gengjin Divine Thunder, and could not help but mutter to himself.

Gui Ling's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said in shock:
"Gengjin Divine Thunder! I never thought that fellow Taoist actually possessed this divine thunder! In this way, breaking the restriction is as easy as eating and drinking water!"

After a pause, Gui Ling changed the subject and said hesitantly:
"However, there is something very important to the three of us in the mountain, so it is impossible for us to stay here."

"We can guarantee that we will never stop Fellow Daoist Nie from taking the spiritual treasure. The three of us only want the three things on Kunwu Mountain."

"Don't worry, I am really not interested in the things in Kunwu Palace. I will not go to Kunwu Palace, let alone the things those three need." Nie Zhaonan said meaningfully.

"Is there a treasure in Kunwu Palace?" Han Li became very interested and silently memorized the place of Kunwu Palace.

Gui Ling, Mu Kui, and the lion beast looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes. They never thought that Nie Zhaonan actually knew about their natal spirit tablets.

But suddenly they thought of another person - Silver Winged Yaksha, who should have leaked it.
"I believe that with your strength, you will not lie to us." Gui Ling, Mu Kui and the three demons had no choice but to agree.

Even so many Ye family cultivators are afraid of becoming enemies with Nie Zhaonan. Even if the three of them join forces, they will most likely not be Nie Zhaonan's opponent. Even if they want to turn against him, the chances of seizing his natal spiritual treasure are slim. It is better for them to do as Nie Zhaonan says.

The promise of a late Nascent Soul cultivator is still worth trusting.

"Well, the three fellow Taoists have also made a wise move."

After dealing with the three monsters, Nie Zhaonan looked at Yuan Yao and Ling Yuling, stretched out his hand, and two spheres wrapped in three-color light curtains emerged in the palm of Nie Zhaonan's hand. As soon as the two spheres appeared, they flew towards the two women respectively.

Nie Zhaonan said calmly:

"Take these two items for yourselves, so I can feel more at ease."

Yuan Yao and Ling Yuling naturally did not refuse, nor did they ask any further questions. They just rolled up their sleeves and collected the two balls of light.

The ball of light wrapped in the three-color light curtain is naturally the two imitation magic treasures obtained from Old Ghost Bai, the "Heaven-Covering Bell" and the "Golden Light Blade".

Nangong Wan already has a replica of a magical treasure to protect her, so Nie Zhaonan doesn't have to worry too much.

Nie Ying and Chen Qiaoqian can jointly deploy the 'Green Bamboo Sword Formation', which is also extremely powerful.

Wang Ning's Nightmare Tower is also a magical weapon that incorporates many magical treasures and is extremely powerful.

Relatively speaking, Ling Yulin has neither treasures nor powerful means, so she can use the "Golden Blade" to protect herself.

Yuan Yao's natal magic weapon is the Zhentian Bell, which is also a bell-shaped magic weapon. It is undoubtedly more compatible with the 'Zhatian Bell' and can also more easily activate the power of the 'Zhatian Bell'.
