Destiny is ashes

Chapter 390: Suling Cave (33)

——Oh, awesome, Dachen also has a demon tribe? How come I didn’t know that?
Hearing the six-fanged white dolphin in front of him call himself "Climbing Snow Fang", An Jing was deeply moved: "These demons have very cultured names. I'm afraid they have higher education than me."

But he knew that it was normal for him not to know.

After all, their An family is not a big shot, just a village chief in Pingyuan, and their ancestors have a martial arts lineage.

When my ancestor faced this mountain master, he would most likely be defeated in one move - and he might not even be able to beat me now - how could he possibly know about the vast organization categories of Dachen?

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, there are so many mountains and rivers, so many monsters and monsters in Dachen, and there are also stories in folk legends about various monsters transforming into human forms and living in the city.

If Dachen was an ordinary dynasty, it would definitely not be able to control these monsters and spirits. But Dachen is the Tianzong, which can control the heaven, earth and the underworld, let alone mere monsters and ferocious beasts?
"Then I won't say any more nonsense."

Since Pan Xueya is a cultural demon, An Jing didn't bother with any red tape. He pointed at the backs of the demon beasts that had been possessed by demons and said, "According to my guess, one or two of your mountain masters may have been possessed by demons. You must quickly conduct a self-examination, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

"If it's just the martial veins that are possessed by demons, maybe it can still be solved. What I'm afraid of is... these possessed demonic spirits will demonize their own tribes and turn into another 'small demon disaster'."

【I see】

Pan Xueya's tone became serious. Of course, it knew the nature of the demonic disaster. Was it a powerful existence, or a group of female beasts that were possessed by demons, and brought the local humans and monsters with them to become demons, turning the place into a demonic kingdom and domain, and infecting the surrounding lands like a plague?
Although it is impossible for the mountain lord to cause a catastrophe as widespread as the vast sea of ​​demonic disasters after he was possessed by a demon, it would be easy for him to harm these herds of beasts and the surrounding areas of Broken Blade Mountain.

[In fact, we have already guessed this]

Pan Xueya scratched the snow with its front hooves and said solemnly: [The big snake you killed was originally one of us... It originally wanted to transform into a dragon, become a great demon spirit, get its own name, and become the master of Thousand Snake Mountain.]

[It is even the descendant that the Lord of Broken Blade Mountain, the Moon Winged Snake 'Shuo Yue Ying', is quite optimistic about.]

[But who would have thought that the frost disaster would interrupt its transformation process and cause it to secretly become possessed by the devil? We originally thought that it was planning to stay dormant and shed its skin in Broken Blade Mountain, but we didn't expect that it was secretly contracted by the True Demon Cult and became a demon spirit. If it can be possessed by the devil, then we, the mountain master, will not be much better.]

"Oh? You noticed something..."

An Jing had not expected that the giant snake actually had a history, but now that he thought about it, he could also find that the other party had even refined the inner elixir. With such a solid foundation, it was obviously heading towards becoming a great demon spirit or even a demon king. It would be strange if there was no one guiding it from behind.

"So what do you guys do about it?" he asked.

[First, you must move away from the frost disaster area]

Pan Xueya said, although the monster was unaware of the existence of active demonic energy, it had obviously noticed the relationship between demonization and frost disaster: [In addition, our migration team is a three-three system. Among the three mountain masters, if one is demonized, the other two can kill the other.]

[If there are two demons, and the other one escapes, then call on other mountain masters to kill him]

"If there are three of them," An Jing sighed, "then this is what they deserve."

"After all, we don't have a way to predict the demons in advance."

Pan Xueya nodded slightly: [Indeed]

[The demon... resides in my heart. We great demon spirits are intelligent, just like you humans, and are not easily bewitched. However, ordinary demon beasts are ignorant and have some intelligence, but their minds are fragile and uncivilized, so they are easily seduced by the demon.]

[But similarly, if a fragile demon spirit is possessed by a demon, it is easy to show various signs, just like these 'injured' beasts, their bodies will become deformed and their colors will fade.]

[But when great demons like us are possessed by demons, it is extremely difficult to detect. Our powerful minds will instead become the strongest barrier for the demons.]

"Fu Xie, do you have any method?"

An Jing asked in his heart, and Fu Xie pondered for a moment: "Yes, there are, but it is not a martial vein, and it is not even a means that ordinary Shenzang can use - if the demons were so easy to find, they would have been destroyed by us long ago."

——It seems that we can only prepare for a head-on battle.

An Jing was somewhat helpless: "Aren't you the Sima of the Demon Tribe? There is no help from Dachen either?"

[Really?]

Pan Xueya said something shocking: [According to the information I received, we will soon have a reinforcement from the Divine Hidden Peak True Spirit who is closest to Broken Blade Mountain.]

Hearing this, An Jing had a bad feeling in his heart: "The true spirit of the peak of the divine treasure you mentioned, could it be..."

【right】

Pan Xueya bowed, his teeth touching the snow: [It is our majestic, powerful and beautiful Lord of the Mountain, General Broken Blade, His Excellency the Shadow of the New Moon]

"The question is." Although An Jing guessed it, he still found it a little unbelievable: "Didn't it go with you guys?"

"If it's not with you, what is it doing?"

The six-toothed white pig let out a very rough laugh that was completely different from its tone: [This is the problem - what on earth has our General Broken Blade Mountain been doing during this period? We also want to know the answer to this question.]

[In short, His Excellency Shuoyueying should be nearby. He has the ability to contain the devil's calamity... unless it is the devil's calamity.] [But if His Excellency is possessed by a demon...]

The white dolphin made a very human gesture, it tilted its head, indicating that it didn't care: [Then there's nothing else for us to think about]

"That's true."

An Jing sighed - if Shuo Yueying was possessed by a demon, then everyone should just wait for death, or see if the master from Mingjing Sect can do anything. Anyway, he couldn't solve it, and even with the help of the civil and military formation plate, he couldn't defeat a great demon king at the peak of the Shenzang level.

However, it is good news that the mountain masters have begun to be wary of the demonic possession. At least they will not be ambushed.

[Thank you for rescuing these possessed beasts]

At this moment, Pan Xueya leaned down, and tender buds bloomed on its back. These tender buds turned into vines, extending to the tips of its six large fangs, and condensed into six emerald green fruits with light yellow patterns on the inside: [This is my martial vein magical power, 'Life Extension Bud'. The six spiritual fruits are the accumulation of vitality I get from my usual practice. If you are an ordinary person, taking one can cure most of the injuries. If you... three or four should be enough to cure a serious injury.]

Pan Xueya is indeed of Dang Kang's bloodline. This magical fruit has a fragrance like honey as soon as it appears, which makes An Jing feel quite yearning for it.

But he still shook his head: "It's a bit too expensive. I didn't really spend much effort on it, and I didn't do anything."

[This is not just a thank you, it’s also a transaction]

Pan Xueya stamped his hooves and said, "I sensed a strange aura of spiritual wood in the city, which is related to my martial arts path... To be honest, this is the reason why I came to see you this time."

Lowering his head, the great demon spirit of the Wumai realm said sincerely: [That should be your property... City Lord An, although it may be a bit abrupt, can you let me see the spiritual wood? ]

An Jing was silent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he was confused: "Where did I get the spiritual wood? How come I don't know?"

Fu Xie remembered it more clearly than An Jing, and reminded him: "Yan Kui."

"Correct!"

As soon as this was mentioned, An Jing also remembered: "The raw material of Yan Kui is the evergreen wood of Tianyuan Realm. This Panxueya is really a pig nose - oh, it is indeed a pig - can it smell this?"

"It's normal for a pig to have such a big nose." Fu Xie was not surprised: "These six spiritual fruits are the pure vitality accumulated by this pig monster. They are worth a lot. I think this business can be done."

"Of course you can. My puppets are all renovated from discarded items. Can you make money from this?"

An Jing sighed: "Trade between the two worlds is really full of surprises."

Without thinking too much, An Jing summoned a puppet, peeled off the black iron shell on the surface, revealing the evergreen wood inside.

[Yes, yes, that’s it! 】

Pan Xueya was immediately excited, panting heavily, and the tender buds on its back stretched out like porcupine quills, dancing wildly in ecstasy: [It still has plenty of vitality, and can still sprout... Lord An, I don't want a lot, I just want one piece! ]

【if……】

It wanted to promise more benefits, but it saw An Jing nonchalantly take a piece of evergreen wood from the right arm of Yan Kui and hand it to it: "I like to make money, but I don't like to take advantage of others too much - you try this first. If it doesn't work, come back to me."

Pan Xueya was stunned, but the evergreen wood that had been selected and bred countless times in the Tianyuan Realm - even if it was only industrial grade - completely attracted its attention, causing it to subconsciously stretch out the vines on its back and put it on its back.

In just a moment, the evergreen tree bloomed with amazing vitality, sprouted new buds, and took root on the back of the climbing snow tooth.

【well……】

I didn't expect that a spiritual object related to my path would be on my back so easily. Pan Xueya was a little dazed: [Such a rich vitality...pure, refined...]

At this time, An Jing asked quietly, "Master Panshan, you are the native of the Broken Blade Mountains... Before you migrated away, did you sense any unusual aura in the mountains?"

"For example, sharp golden energy, similar to thunder striking from the sky, and spiritual energy gathering."

【abnormal?】

At this moment, Pan Xueya really wanted to calm down and feel the vitality of the Evergreen Wood. This could be said to be the foundation of his martial arts for entering the Shenzang realm in the future. However, An Jing's question could not be ignored. He forcibly diverted his attention and patiently replied: [These anomalies are very common. Broken Blade Mountain was originally the battlefield of the ancient catastrophe. Similar anomalies occur every day.]

"What about the biggest one?"

An Jing quickly asked, and Pan Xueya answered without hesitation: [The biggest anomaly? Is there any need to ask? Of course it is the 'Suling Cave' where our Broken Blade Mountain Lord Shuo Yueying lives.]

[There is white golden air rushing out from the mountain all year round. The winding part is like a dragon, and the straight part is like a sword. Therefore, it is named Suling. It is indeed the most spiritual place in our Broken Blade Mountain.]
