I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 572 Coercion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Demonic beasts can transform into human form during the Nascent Soul stage, but most wild demonic beasts do not completely transform during this process, leaving behind some characteristics of the demon race.

"Jiang Heying of Lingxu Sword Sect greets the two seniors." Jiang Yi readily agreed and paid his respects first.

The two sea monsters were able to sneak in because they wanted the treasures of the secret realm. She had made it very clear at sea and had opened the secret realm in public. If these two weren't fools, they certainly wouldn't have killed her so easily.

Luck is indeed conserved; she had just obtained a treasure like the Luminous Pearl, but then she encountered two demons and suffered a terrible misfortune.

"Little girl," the demon woman stretched out her finger, her nails sharp as knives, and lightly grazed Jiang Yi's cheek, bringing a chilling sensation, "your human Nascent Soul is a great tonic for demons. Seeing how powerful your magic is, I'm really drooling over it~"

Her words were soft, yet they carried a naked murderous intent and greed, sending chills down Jiang Yi's spine.

"Why waste words with her!" the male demon's voice boomed impatiently. "Just swallow her, saves me the trouble! I've been trapped in this ghost forest for ages, it'll be a good meal for me!"

He opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and a stench wafted towards us.

Jiang Yi found it amusing; these two actually knew how to put on a double act?
"What's the rush?" The female demon rolled her eyes at the male demon, then turned to Jiang Yi and gave him a 'kind' smile.

"Little sister, don't be afraid. My brother has a quick temper and speaks rudely. I, on the other hand, have the softest heart. How about this: if you behave and lead us out of this forest to find that cauldron... I'll let you go, okay?"

Jiang Yi forced herself to remain silent until her face turned pale. "Fine, I'll take you there... but you have to keep your word."

"What a clever little girl!"

The succubus smiled with satisfaction, withdrew her fingers from Jiang Yi's face, and began to search her body again. She only found the Eight Treasures Radiant Mirror on Jiang Yi, but no other storage items or magical treasures. She didn't even find the two swords that Jiang Yi had carried on her back when she was outside.

The succubus gave Jiang Yi a dangerous smile, and under the pressure of her divine sense, she forcibly examined Jiang Yi from the inside out once more.

Jiang Yi was truly pale and sweating, but she still gave the demoness a deliberately foolish smile.

Everything she owns is in the Sword Nourishing Gourd, which is located in her dantian. Unless you dig open her dantian, you won't be able to take anything away.

The male demon snorted coldly, his massive body blocking Jiang Yi's back. "This brat is being disobedient. Let me just devour her!"

The succubus raised her hand to stop her, but before she could even blink, Jiang Yi had already anticipated what she was about to do.

"If you dare to place any restrictions, spells, or poisons on me, I'll sit here and refuse to leave. At worst, I'll die. If I die, this secret realm might close immediately, and you won't get anything. You might even be trapped here and unable to get out."

"I already said this outside: my purpose in coming here is only to activate the large array node. You can take whatever else you want; I can't stop you, and I don't care. It's either cooperation or a fight to the death!"

The female and male demons exchanged a glance. The male demon was irritated, and a murderous intent had already appeared in his eyes.

The demon chuckled and finally withdrew her hand. How could a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator possibly escape from the hands of two Nascent Soul cultivators?

"Let's go then, little sister!"

"I'm warning you, don't try anything funny!"

Jiang Yi glanced at the Eight Treasures Radiant Mirror that the female demon was playing with in her hand, hoping that Jin Wanguan wasn't so honest and had really tampered with the mirror.

In the dark, damp forest, the smell of decaying leaves was so strong it was almost inescapable.

Jiang Yi walked ahead, with two Nascent Soul stage sea demons following closely behind, like escorting prisoners, occasionally communicating in a demon language that Jiang Yi couldn't understand.

Jiang Yi may not be educated, but she is eloquent, and she translated the entire "Zhu Xin" (诛心) into Chinese.

The male sea monster, named Aoji, is a giant turtle.

The female siren, called Azure Scale, is a sea serpent.

They are the two most powerful sea monsters in this area of ​​the outer sea, each with their own clan. When human cultivators came to the outer sea and settled here, they moved their clans to secretly observe them.

"Human girl, what are you dawdling for? How much longer do we have to walk through this lousy forest?"

Annoyed, Ao Ji swung out one claw, and a towering ancient tree, as thick as two people could hug, snapped in two and collapsed with a crash.

Jiang Yi wasn't angry at all. Instead, she patiently explained to the two demons, "This is called the 'Withering and Flourishing Ten Thousand Trees Formation.' The trees form their own pattern and move on their own. It is boundless and the entire formation is constantly changing. You have to follow a specific path to get out, otherwise it is very easy to get lost."

What she said was half true.

The boundless expanse was real, and the perilous nature of the formation was real. But within her sea of ​​consciousness, the Kunlun Dao Seal was providing her with a boost, continuously guiding her in the right direction.

But she wouldn't listen!

When the Kunlun Dao Seal pointed northeast, Jiang Yi did not hesitate. He turned his feet and strode southwest!
"This way!" she even said with feigned certainty, risking her own safety.

Jiang Yi had only taken two steps when the ground beneath her feet suddenly collapsed.

Bi Lin reacted extremely quickly, and a stream of icy water suddenly appeared, instantly catching Jiang Yi's sinking body.

With a roar, the giant halberd stomped its massive foot on the ground, unleashing a burst of violent demonic power that shattered the problematic, decaying leaf into pieces.

"Hmph! A mere trick!" Ao Ji spat disdainfully.

"Wow, you two seniors are really amazing."

I hope you guys stay this amazing.

"Stop talking nonsense! Lead the way!" Ao Ji interrupted her impatiently.

The Kunlun Dao Seal lit up again, this time pointing due north. Jiang Yi walked south without hesitation.

Swish swish!
Several arm-thick, dark green vines covered in barbs shot out from the surrounding ancient trees, lashing towards the three of them with lightning speed.

After another fierce battle, the danger subsided, and Jiang Yi, who was being protected by the two behind her, even yawned.

The formation in this forest is very profound, and even Hua Gu doesn't know how to break it at the moment. If Jiang Yi hadn't had the Kunlun Dao Seal to guide him, he probably would have gotten lost inside as well.

Although Ao Ji and Bi Lin were Nascent Soul cultivators, they were helpless against this forest. Before they captured Jiang Yi, they had tried to use their Nascent Soul stage escape light to speed in the same direction, and they would keep passing by the previously marked locations.

Brute force won't work either; the damaged area will be restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

If they hadn't exhausted all means to get out, they wouldn't have had much patience for Jiang Yi.

In the chase and battle after battle, Jiang Yi was carried by Bi Lin, like a fallen leaf in a storm, watching the battle between the two Nascent Soul level demons with trepidation.

She had intended to use the tree spirits in the forest to severely injure the two demons, or at least weaken them, but the two demons worked together seamlessly and their strength far exceeded her expectations.

Although the thousand-year-old tree spirit encountered earlier was powerful, it only caused a few shallow superficial wounds to Aoji. It was quickly and completely destroyed, leaving only a bright green wood spirit fruit that Aoji scooped up with one claw.

Jiang Yi occasionally found the right path, showing them sights they had never seen before, making them feel that she hadn't led them astray.

By the end of the day, the light of the Kunlun Dao Seal had dimmed somewhat, seemingly angered by Jiang Yi's reckless behavior and deciding to go on strike.

Soon, the sky turned from dusky yellow to complete darkness.

The moment night fell, the atmosphere of the entire mountain forest changed drastically!
The towering ancient trees, vibrant with life during the day, withered and decayed at a visible rate, their branches and leaves falling away, revealing their dark, gnarled trunks that resembled ghostly claws.

One by one, countless traps made of pale, bony claws sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, silently reaching for the three people's ankles!
Aoji roared, its demonic power surging, shattering the bone claws that were grabbing at his ankle into dust.

Bilin was even more cautious, with a layer of light blue water curtain surrounding her body. Her bone claws shattered instantly upon touching the water curtain.

Jiang Yi continued 'kindly' to remind them, "This is the 'withered' state of the great formation, even more dangerous than during the day!"

Dao Yin was completely fed up this time. Jiang Yi didn't know which side was safe and which was dangerous, so he instinctively dodged the bone claws that kept reaching out from under his feet.

But Jiang Yi was probably just really unlucky. While she was trying to avoid it, she accidentally stepped on an inconspicuous, dark tree stump.

The moment Jiang Yi stepped on it, she couldn't control herself; her whole body trembled, and her heart skipped a beat.

hum!
An ancient and powerful aura suddenly erupted from the tree stump!
A jet-black beam of light shot into the sky, instantly dispelling part of the darkness. The deathly stillness of the entire withered forest seemed to have found its source, frantically converging towards the beam of light!

The dwarf tree stump grew and deformed wildly in the pillar of light, instantly transforming into a ferocious tree-man five zhang tall and entirely black!
For the first time, Ao Ji and Bi Lin's expressions became extremely solemn. The oppressive aura emanating from the pitch-black tree-man far surpassed that of the previous tree spirit, carrying a kind of majestic law that was integrated with the entire mountain forest.

When the tree spirit appeared, the Kunlun Dao Seal stopped pretending to be dead and began to flash frantically, more anxious than ever before.

　See you tomorrow~
