If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 287 Demon Lord

The cave built by Zhou Yi and others is similar in composition to the cave designed by Li Yanmo.

The first stage is to place cultivation resources.

The second level is filled with various stone tablets that can be used to comprehend the magic formulas.

The third stage is to place various treasures.

However, Zhou Yi and others’ moves were rather shabby, and the best spells in the second stage were only of the lower earth grade.

Perhaps he was worried about being discovered by Dayu later, or perhaps he was just trying to save as much as possible. Anyway, a low-grade Earth Rank item was enough to scare the Meizhou cultivators to death. For Li Lin, who hadn't yet reached the Core Formation stage and was born a commoner, a low-grade Earth Rank item was a rare treasure.

Li Yanmo and the other two naturally ignored it.

In addition to the Taotie blood essence, the treasures placed in the third stage also include some other items that exude a fierce aura, which can be called magic weapons of the demon soldiers.

These demonic soldiers were obviously prepared for Li Lin and other sons of commoner marquises who came here to compete for the blood essence of the ferocious beasts.

These powerful magic weapons are extremely dangerous in terms of both their refining techniques and uses. They are prohibited items that are banned by Dayu's order. Anyone found in possession will be confiscated and punished.

Li Yanmo and the other two had no interest in these demon soldiers, so they ignored the demon soldiers along the way and came to the highest point, in front of the Taotie blood essence.

It was a drop of golden blood, looking noble, but after Li Yanmo stared at it for a while, he saw a hint of filth in the golden color.

Oil Dragon Pattern poked his head out and muttered, "This blood is really dirty."

The oil dragon pattern was refined by Yang Daxian using black oil that had been stored for tens of thousands of years. Even the oil dragon pattern seems dirty, which shows the value of the Taotie's blood.

If someone were to refine it and use the essence and blood of the Taotie to form a pill, God knows what would happen.

"This Taotie blood, we..."

Huang Shangshang hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang's expressions changed at the same time. Li Yanmo reached out and grabbed the back of Huang Shangshang's collar and pulled her backwards, while Leng Ningshuang drew a magic sword from his sleeve and swung it downwards.

The golden flame ignited the spirit sword, and a sword arc like a burning crescent moon was swung out.

The next second, a black sharp blade fell, splitting the place where Huang Shangshang had just been in two, and the sword arc swung out by Leng Ningshuang chased in the direction of the sharp blade.

"boom--"

The golden flames burst out and ignited the surrounding demon soldiers.

Looking at the flickering flames not far away, Leng Ningshuang felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Huang Shangshang, who was peeking out from the door of the King of Hell, also reacted and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The attack just now was so fast that she had no time to react at all. If Li Yanmo had not taken action, she would probably have been split in two by now.

The golden flames flickered, and a black shadow emerged from it, shaking back and forth with the jumping of the flames, looking extremely weird.

"Monster——"

Leng Ningshuang narrowed her eyes slightly and revealed the true identity of the figure.

"Monster? That's a harsh word," a hand stretched out from the flames, and with a light wave it extinguished the flames, and the entire cave became dark.

"I am obviously a human being, just different from you."

A pale-faced, ordinary-looking man who looked like he would disappear if thrown into a crowd walked out of the flames. His eyes were extremely strange and terrifying, with his pupils crowded together and the whites of his eyes almost invisible.

Huang Shangshang had never seen such strange eyes before, so she subconsciously closed her eyes and dared not look.

"How did you guess me?"

Apart from "demon", Li Yanmo couldn't find any other words to describe the man in front of him.

"There are only four of us here. Who do you think has the problem?"

"But then again, I thought I could have a good meal and regain my strength, but I didn't expect everyone to run away... One of you must have arranged this, right?" The man's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Li Yanmo and the other two. "When did you realize my plan?"

Although she knew it was wrong, Leng Ningshuang still subconsciously glanced at Li Yanmo.

Li Yanmo's mind was full of question marks, but he had cultivated the Emperor's mental method, so his psychological quality was extremely strong. No matter what emergency he faced, he could always put on an expression that everything was under control.

The man noticed Leng Ningshuang's expression for a moment, and Li Yanmo's expression that showed everything was under control also gave the man the answer.

The man raised his hands and clapped. "Not bad, not bad. So when did you notice it?" Li Yanmo's mouth twitched. Not knowing how to respond, he could only smile contemptuously. "Before asking questions, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

There was no way, he didn't even know who was in front of him.

What follows is bound to be an impromptu performance, so he can only confirm the other party's identity first.

The man was also very quick. He raised his finger and smiled mysteriously, "I've had many names. My current name is Chen Youli, and before that, I was Wang Jian. But they all call me... the Demon."

"Demons?!"

Leng Ningshuang and Huang Shangshang both cried out in surprise. Leng Ningshuang clenched her sword with both hands as if facing a formidable enemy, "You should have been killed along with the other demons at the Demon-Slaying Ceremony that year!"

However, Leng Ningshuang quickly thought of the answer.

During the Demon-Extermination Ceremony that year, all the demons who brought disaster to the world and wanted to destroy the Holy Pillar were killed.

The demons are one of them.

All the demons should be killed, but Xiang Mo is still alive and even tries to refine the Risheng City and break through the Tribulation Period.

Since Xiangmo is still alive, it is not surprising that the group of demons are still alive.

Combined with the demons' words that they thought they could have a good meal, the answer is obvious.

Some sects in the Taoist sect attempted to stir up conflicts between the noble marquises and the commoner marquises, but some sects also intended to use this plan as a cover to let the Demon Lord [eat people] in this struggle.

You should know that the most famous skill of the Demon Lord is the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art.

He devoured countless cultivators with his magic power to improve his cultivation, and was possessed by demons.

"The devil is in the heart. As long as we live together as one, we are a group—"

Before the demons could finish their words, two red beams shot into his strange eyes and then pierced through the back of his head.

Huang Shangshang opened her mouth wide, Leng Ningshuang's expression was also stiff, only Li Yanmo looked calm and the red light in his eyes was extinguished.

The group of demons, with empty eyes and smoking, swayed left and right and then fell to the ground with a thud.

"Li, Brother Li, what are you doing..."

Li Yanmo's face was full of surprise. "He already said he was here to eat people. Why waste time talking to him?"

Li Yanmo had no idea how he had triggered this boss battle, but the boss had already jumped out and almost killed Huang Shangshang on first sight, so what else was there to say.

Leng Ningshuang was speechless.

Huang Shangshang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally over."

As soon as the words fell, the demons that were supposed to be dead suddenly crawled up slowly, their empty eyes quickly regenerated, and their dense pupils turned out.

The demons were not angry at Li Yanmo's unsportsmanlike sneak attack. They even nodded with interest, savoring Li Yanmo's clever attack.

"Simple yet effective method of using spiritual energy. Who are you? Who is your master?"

When the demons' face was completely repaired, he had changed into another face, which was probably the face of Wang Jian that the demons mentioned.
