Gu Zu looked at Long Pokong and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Long, this Mu Zhaoming is an elder of your sect. Why is he connected with that 'Demon Lord'? Fellow Daoist Long, can you give me an explanation?"

Long Pokong took back the Nine Dragon Magic Seal, his expression gloomy: "I don't know why Junior Brother Mu... Mu Zhaoming would do such a treasonous thing."

"This is no different from betraying one's teacher and ancestors. I think it is nothing more than being tempted by the Demon Lord, or being bewitched by the Demon Lord."

"But no matter what, that was his personal act and had nothing to do with the Demon Yuan Palace. Fellow Taoists, I think you won't make a wrong judgment on this point, right?"

Gu Zu's expression relaxed, and the other great monks nodded.

But Sect Leader Wei still looked extremely solemn, and warned: "Fellow Daoists, be careful, besides Mu Zhaoming, there may be others who are also connected with that Demon Lord..."

Daoxuan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the group of Yuanying cultivators: "Daoyou Wei is right. We must be on guard against this matter, but fellow Daoists don't need to be so nervous. In this time of crisis, we still need to help each other."

Long Pokong added: "Mu Zhaoming was the first person to discover the expansion of the Demon Realm. At that time, he should have had other intentions. It was only after he reported the matter to the sect that Long did not suspect him."

"Now that I think about it, he must have been trying to cover up his mistake. Since then, no one has gone deep into the Demon Realm like today. It is not easy to connect with the Demon Lord. We must not lose our composure."

Chu Xiao said coldly: "It's nothing more than a fight. It doesn't matter what the devil is or what the god is. It's just that after the shadow of the devil was shattered, my strength was weakened by 20 to 30 percent for no reason. It will be difficult to fight against the monster again."

Her words aroused the response of everyone: "When I circulate my true energy, it is also quite slow."

"That demon shadow is definitely not an ordinary being. At the first sight of it, I was trembling with fear. Could it be the Demon Lord that Mu Zhaoming mentioned?"

"Impossible! How could a treasure make Mu Zhaoming obsessed? In my opinion, it is most likely a treasure given to him by the Demon Lord to weaken our strength so that the Demon Lord can take action against us."

"Humph, Mu Zhaoming is a Yuanying cultivator, but he betrayed the sect and worked for the Demon Lord, even losing his life..."

"Perhaps he was bewitched by the Demon Lord and it was not his original intention..."

"It's useless to say all this. Our strength has weakened, but the Demon Lord has not yet shown up. What should we do?"

These Nascent Soul cultivators, who were worthy of being called the ancestors of a sect, now showed signs of panic, cursing Mu Zhaoming and worrying about the Demon Lord hiding in the dark.

Chen Yuan was much calmer. He communicated privately with Xuan Yuanzi, Master Shen, and Young Master Tang Jiu. When they were circulating their true energy, they were much more sluggish and their strength was weakened a lot.

The four of them huddled together, cautious and alert. It was possible that other cultivators had also defected to the Demon Lord like Mu Zhaoming.

Chen Yuan was also wary of Xuan Yuanzi and Master Shen, but he did not show it.

Young Master Tang Jiu had never been to the Demon Realm, so it was impossible for him to have any secret connection with the Demon Lord. However, Xuan Yuanzi and Sect Leader Shen had stayed outside the Demon Realm for more than 20 years and had even gone deep into the Demon Realm, so they had many opportunities to join the Demon Lord.

At this moment, a Nascent Soul monster rushed over from a distance. Daoxuan took the lead and rushed forward, saying loudly: "It is useless to say more now. I ask all Taoist friends to take action together to kill the monster."

Yan Zhang also rushed towards the monster and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, fellow Taoists. The Demon Lord must be afraid of our joining forces, so he used such a despicable method. Otherwise, why would he need to summon the phantom? He only needs to come out and suppress us."

Elder Zhou spoke at the right time: "Although the Pure Spirit Qi has been destroyed, I have prepared a backup plan before entering the Demon Realm. As long as these monsters are destroyed, I still have a way to destroy this giant pillar of demonic energy."

Daoxuan turned around and said, "Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Wei, you two must protect Junior Brother Zhou. Don't make any mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The two Tianxuan Sect elders he named immediately agreed, came to Elder Zhou's side, and looked around vigilantly.

With this encouragement, the morale of the crowd was boosted a lot. The monster had already rushed to the front, and there was no time to think about it, so they could only go forward to meet the enemy.

Chen Yuan still found an eighth-level monster, which looked like an elk, with two horns on its head, twisted and knotted, scales on its body, a mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth, four thick hooves, red eyes, and a very ferocious appearance.

This elk monster is similar in strength to the three-eyed demon leopard, but it is extremely powerful. It takes Chen Yuan more effort to deal with it than before.

After the divine shadow shattered, he seemed to be covered by a net, his true energy flowed sluggishly, his body felt heavy, and his strength was weakened by at least 20%.

However, the strength of the monsters was not affected. The eighth-level monster that he could originally deal with easily now required Chen Yuan to take it seriously, and it was even a bit difficult.

Of course, if he summons Chongxuan Peak, this eighth-level monster will not be his match in a single blow.

But at a time like this, he naturally wouldn't be the first to take action, so as not to be targeted by the monster.

Unlike before, this time the monsters attacked in groups and advanced and retreated in moderation. The Nascent Soul cultivators who had shown great power before were all trapped in the siege.

Young Master Tang Jiu was an extraordinary escape artist. The monster that came after him was a demon falcon only about ten feet long. It was incredibly fast and entangled Young Master Tang Jiu, making it difficult to tell who was stronger.

Master Shen's flying sword is sharp. His opponent is a giant rhinoceros wearing heavy armor. Its movements are slow, but its skin is thick and tough, and it is difficult to be hurt by the flying sword.

Xiao Lingzi had previously released thousands of blood spirits, which sucked the flesh and blood of two level eight monsters, and was extremely eye-catching. Now he was besieged by three monsters and was in a rather embarrassing state.

The monsters in front of Xiao Mingyuan and Mo Daoyu were all extremely strong, and they were able to hold their own when wrestling with them.

There are so many different things.

Everyone was caught in a bitter battle, and even two Nascent Soul cultivators underestimated the enemy and died at the hands of the monster, while three others were seriously injured.

A two or three percent weakening of strength may seem insignificant, but the monsters' strength remains unchanged. Besides being fearless and valiant, they have also "developed" intelligence. With one increase and one decrease, everyone is at a disadvantage.

The seven great monks who had previously been so powerful were also blocked by several level ten monsters. Although they had the upper hand, they found it difficult to win.

Seeing that everyone was engaged in a fierce battle, Chen Yuan's heart trembled. He dared not show his strength anymore. He continued to hide his abilities and engaged in close combat with the level eight elk. It looked like a lively fight, but in fact, there was no risk at all.

Although this group of monsters are ferocious, they only have one method, and the seven great monks still have some trump cards that they have not used.

The "Demon Lord" mentioned by Mu Zhaoming has not yet appeared, so he may have a backup plan.

Chen Yuan became more alert, but as time went by, no new developments occurred.

Roars and shouts intertwined together, the light of magic weapons and magical powers illuminated the dim sky, dark demonic energy swirled around, the corpses of monsters fell from the sky, and there was a fierce look in their scarlet eyes.

There were also unfortunate Nascent Soul cultivators who died at the hands of monsters and were swallowed up in a few bites. Their shrill cries echoed in the air, leaving only their friends to avenge them.

Finally, the situation on the battlefield changed.

Gu Zu suddenly stood up and killed the level 10 monster in front of him, then turned and flew towards Daoxuan, shouting: "Brother, I'm here to help you, don't hold back!"

When Daoxuan heard this, his eyes became fierce and the magic gestures in his hand changed immediately, and the clouds in the sky changed color immediately.

Within a thousand feet radius, white clouds gathered and condensed into a giant dragon, a hundred feet long. There were two spots of green light flickering in the dragon's eyes. With a long roar, the dragon's roar shook the air, and it meandered down and pounced on the two monsters in front of it.

He was besieged by two level ten monsters. Although he had the upper hand, he was unable to kill them, and the two were in a stalemate.

Seeing this, everyone's morale was greatly boosted.

This is the first time that there have been casualties among level 10 monsters since everyone entered the Demon Realm.

There were many monsters in the Demon Realm, but there were only eight level 10 monsters. Apart from the two that were besieging Daoxuan, the rest were fighting one-on-one. The death of a level 10 monster would immediately break the balance.

But the monsters were all fearless and unafraid of death. Even if they had intelligence, they would not retreat. Instead, they advanced and used their magical powers to rush forward.

Daoxuan sneered and pointed a point. Baizhang Yunlong opened his mouth and spit out a cold breath, freezing one monster. He then stretched out his sharp claws and grabbed it hard to block the other monster.

This is his most powerful magical power, called "Cloud Dragon Transformation". It took him many years of hard practice and consumed a huge amount of true energy. If it were used in the outside world, it would be enough to condense a cloud dragon dozens of miles long, with the power to destroy the world.

In this devilish realm, Yunlong was suppressed by the demonic energy and shrunk a lot, but facing two level ten monsters, he was still extremely sharp.

However, using this magical power consumed a lot of Daoxuan's energy, and the true energy in his body was temporarily exhausted.

It would take him three breaths to recover to normal. This was a gap and he would be caught by these intelligent monsters.

If Gu Zu had not pulled his hand away, Daoxuan would not have dared to do so and put himself in danger.

And just as he expected, Yunlong showed off his power and suppressed two level ten monsters, but they immediately broke free from the claws of the Hanxi Dragon and attacked him recklessly.

Daoxuan tried his best to circulate his true energy, and in a flash, he teleported a hundred feet away, avoiding the attack.

The monsters don’t know how to lock the heaven and earth, so the seven great monks can teleport with ease.

As a result, the true energy in his body became even more empty and he no longer had the strength to fight.

But the two level 10 monsters attacked too fiercely, and also revealed a flaw. Gu Zu flipped his hand and took out a yellow gourd, and pointed: "Go!"

The yellow gourd swelled in the wind and became about ten feet in size. A light flashed at the mouth of the gourd, and in the red flame, there were strands of silver-white arcs that poured out in large quantities!

Everyone's eyes lit up. This was a very famous high-level magic weapon of the Tianxuan Sect, the Thunder and Fire Gourd, which was refined from thunder and fire from heaven and earth.

There was once a level ten demon king and two cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage who died under the Thunder and Fire Gourd, which was very famous.

There were thunder and fire from the sky and fire from the earth, the most yang and the most powerful, and the evil spirit receded. The two fearless level 10 monsters also rarely showed signs of cowardice and stopped chasing Daoxuan.

They either spit out demonic energy, or curl up their bodies, revealing their solid scales, and try their best to resist.

But under the ravages of thunder and fire, the two level ten monsters flew backwards, their bodies were charred all over, the blood they flowed out was evaporated, and they let out miserable howls from their mouths.

Daoxuan felt relieved, and everyone's morale was boosted. The two of them were in sync. Daoxuan acted as bait, and Gu Zu took action, severely damaging the two level ten monsters in one fell swoop.

Coupled with the death of the level ten monster at the hands of Gu Zu, the human cultivators have firmly gained the upper hand.

Next, Daoxuan and Gu Zu only need to work together to kill these two monsters, and then go to help other great monks. Even if their strength is weakened, these monsters will not be their opponents.

No matter how many Yuanying cultivators there are, or how ferocious the eighth-level monsters are, they cannot shake the overall situation.

The outcome of this battle will still depend on the fight between the great monk and the level ten monster.

But at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in Gu Zu's eyes, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Chen Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Master Daoxuan, be careful!"

Daoxuan was stunned, and the next moment, Gu Zu appeared behind him. He took out a short black spear and stabbed it hard into his back!

An ancient rattan shield appeared out of thin air behind Daoxuan, emitting a bright light, blocking the broken thorn and protecting Daoxuan's back firmly.

At the same time, a jade pendant on his waist shattered by itself, forming a colorless light shield that enveloped Daoxuan's entire body.

The top-level magic weapon can protect its master, and the ancient jade talisman can protect the body. Even if facing an attack from a great monk, one can retreat unscathed.

But these two treasures were as fragile as rice paper in front of the inconspicuous three-inch short thorn.

The short thorn silently pierced through the rattan shield, cut through the light shield, and penetrated deeply into Daoxuan's back.

"You!" Daoxuan opened his eyes wide, turned around and threw a golden hammer, hitting Gu Zu's head.

But Gu Zu was well prepared and brought out a round shield, easily blocking the golden hammer.

The magic words in his hand changed, and the mouth of the thunder and fire gourd turned, and another torrent of thunder and fire from heaven and earth poured out, heading straight for Daoxuan.

Daoxuan immediately circulated his true energy, but it was extremely sluggish and he could only watch the thunder and fire coming towards him.

Just as he was about to be engulfed by the thunder and fire from the sky and the earth, several blood shadows flew over from the side and blocked Daoxuan.

Thunder from heaven and fire from earth fell on the blood shadow, blood vapor rose, and the smell of blood spread, but it was impossible to move forward any further.

At the same time, Chu Xiao's angry voice rang out: "Gu Zu, how dare you do this!"

She pointed her finger and a golden hairpin flew out, turning into a golden stream of light and shooting towards Gu Zu at an incredible speed.

After Yan Zhang used the blood shadow to block the thunder and fire from the sky and the earth, several more blood shadows flew over and attacked Gu Zu.

Seeing that he had lost the opportunity, Gu Zu did not force it. He smiled slightly, and with a flash of his body, he teleported a hundred feet away, avoiding the blood shadow of the golden hairpin.

Everyone was stunned.

In a flash, Gu Zu attacked ruthlessly and seriously injured Daoxuan, which seemed like a fairy tale.

At this moment, they finally reacted and exclaimed: "Gu Daoyou, what do you mean?"

"Brother Gu, how could you attack the headmaster?"

"Friend Gu..."

Blood trickled down Daoxuan's mouth, his face pale as he stared at Gu Zu: "Junior Brother Gu, why did you do this?"

Gu Zu did not answer, but glanced at Chen Yuan first, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

When he attacked Daoxuan just now, no one noticed it, only Chen Yuan spoke out to remind him.

Chen Yuan's expression was stern. He suddenly exerted force, killed the elk monster, and put away the magic core.

When Gu Zu performed the teleportation technique, he sensed that there was an unusual fluctuation in space, which seemed to be directed towards Daoxuan, so he spoke out to remind him.

But Daoxuan was not on guard against Gu Zu at all, so he still succeeded.

Chen Yuan's reminder was not only ineffective, but also made Gu Zu stare at him with an extremely ugly expression. (End of this chapter)
