Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 235: The Overall Plan of the Righteous Path Fifty Thousand Years Ago
"Zhang Chengwu, you stay behind to cover us, we'll charge! As long as we rescue Princess Xianchan, this seventh-level puppet will be easy to deal with."

Commander Ye loudly encouraged everyone.

The leader named Ye is named Ye Ting. She is a female cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm and is good at coordinating team operations, so she was the leader of this operation.

In fact, among these 108 people, Ye Ting's strength is not even in the top 20.

The Zhang Chengwu she mentioned is the strongest among the dragon guards.

Zhang Chengwu's strength is outstanding in all aspects. Not only is his combat ability outstanding, but his defense and adaptability are also very outstanding.

Ye Ting named him because he possessed the ability to command a team that was comparable to hers.

The Princess Xianchan that Ye Ting mentioned is Li Xianchan.

Li Xianchan is called the eldest princess, but in fact she is the sister of the contemporary Immortal Emperor.

Back then, she had intentionally leaked her Phoenix Bath Nirvana Body to the Judgment Hall just for today's game.

If Li Xianchan had not served as an anchor point on the Magic Island, the Han and Tang Immortal Dynasty would not have been able to find out the spatial coordinates of this place no matter how hard they tried.

The Judgment Hall's confidentiality measures for the Demon Island were so tight that even the divine fortune tellers of the Han and Tang Dynasties could not calculate its exact location.

Although the eldest princess took a huge risk, she also obtained a large amount of immortal cultivation resources from the magic path.

Rumor has it that she will be cultivated to the Tribulation Realm, and be taken as a nourishment by an elder in the Judgment Hall who has reached the peak of the Tribulation Realm.

Therefore, not only did the Judgment Hall provide her with a variety of high-level cultivation resources, but this elder who had cultivated to the peak of tribulation for more than 100,000 years also provided Li Xianchan with a large amount of rare resources.

When her cultivation was at a relatively low level, the resources she used were the best treasures of the same realm.

Even so, the cultivation resources Li Xianchan obtained here cannot be compared with those of the contemporary Immortal Emperor.

Whether it is the blessing of the imperial fortune of the prosperous Immortal Dynasty or the Transcendent Immortal Grass obtained by the Immortal Emperor, any one of them can be equivalent to all her cultivation resources.

When the current Immortal Emperor had not yet ascended the throne, there was a powerful force within the Immortal Dynasty that wanted to push Li Xianchan to be the empress.

After much hesitation, the previous Immortal Emperor finally came up with a compromise.

The method is to use the excuse to let Li Xianchan make an unprecedented contribution to the Xian Dynasty. After Li Chunlong abdicates, Li Xianchan will inherit the throne.

Therefore, under the promotion of the forces behind Li Chunlong, the secret of Li Xianchan's Taoist body was leaked, leading to this big chess game.

This group of powerful warriors in the Void Refinement Realm who came to rescue Li Xianchan were all death squads provided by the major forces that supported her to become the empress.

Long Wei's trip is not only to destroy the arrangements of the Judgment Hall on the Demon Island, but also to make an unprecedented contribution to Li Xianchan.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, there was an institution for training death warriors called the Sanshengying.

The 108 powerful warriors of the Dragon Guard who are at the Refinement Realm are from the Sansheng Camp.

The origin of Sanshengying means that when you are alive, you are a member of Sanshengying; when you die, you are a ghost of Sanshengying; and in the next life, you will still be a member of Sanshengying.

The 108 Dragon Guards were prepared to die before they set out.

Many people heard that the mission was to rescue the future Queen, and they all signed up enthusiastically to participate in it.

These strong men have worked hard to cultivate to the level of Lianxu, but they are willing to be death warriors. This shows the ability of Sanshengying to train death warriors.

Of course, this is because in this immortal world, death is not the end, and there are already examples of reincarnation and rebirth.

Moreover, the San Sheng Battalion is equipped with reincarnation talismans when carrying out missions with extremely high risk factors to ensure the opportunity for reincarnation.

It is rumored that the reincarnation talisman can allow cultivators to have some memories of their past lives according to the rules of reincarnation, which is equivalent to having half a lifetime of wisdom more than others, and is of great benefit to the cultivation of immortals.

Only the people in the Sansheng Camp know the value of the reincarnation talisman.

The reincarnation talisman is a mortal treasure refined by the immortal master, and not every immortal can refine it. It requires one to practice the path of reincarnation.

The grade of the reincarnation talisman is infinitely close to the ninth grade.

The talisman paper used to make reincarnation talismans is also very rare. It is made from a spiritual herb called Soul-Retaining Grass.

The Soul-Retaining Grass used to make talisman paper must be of the seventh grade.

Especially for this kind of mission where one has to risk one's life for the next empress, a specialist will look for those who died for this mission and have been reincarnated, and then train them intensively to become Li Xianchan's direct subordinates.

Therefore, since you have become a assassin in this life, you must die for a good cause and seek a good future in the next life.

Of course, the reincarnation talisman cannot guarantee 100% that one will inherit the wisdom of the previous life in the next life. On the contrary, it is possible that one will become a mortal in the next life due to karma.

Zhang Chengwu took over Ye Ting's command and quickly swept away the remaining puppets, preparing to welcome the upcoming seventh-level puppets.

There are less than ten sixth-level puppets on the battlefield, and the powerful aura of the seventh-level puppets has enveloped everyone.

Suddenly, a bronze puppet appeared above the crowd. It stepped on the void, and red flames rose from the soles of its feet. A short spear wrapped in chaotic evil spirit broke through the air.

"Spiritual talisman defense, sword formation!"

Zhang Chengwu roared.

A powerful Void Refining expert had just crushed the protective talisman when his head exploded like a glass cup. Before the blood mist dissipated, the spear tip had already pierced the chests of the three people behind him.

The Tiangang Sword Formation formed by eighty-one sword energies had not yet taken shape when the puppet suddenly turned into nine afterimages. Each of the afterimages actually condensed into a physical entity and smashed the thirty-six cultivators, breaking their bones and tendons.

"Disperse!" Zhang Chengwu shouted, and the red-gold talisman in his palm ignited the primordial divine flame.

The puppet's real body suddenly disappeared in the fire curtain, and a short spear broke out from the ground, stringing the three seal-making monks together into a blood gourd.

Just as the icy chains wrapped around the spear shaft, the deadly weapon disintegrated into 72 pieces of black iron fragments, which swirled into a vortex of death accompanied by a bone-eroding gale.

The seven old Taoists bit their tongues at the same time and sprayed out their lifeblood to form the Xuanwu Dharma image.

The puppet slammed the spear handle heavily onto the ground, and the entire space shattered like a glass mirror. The basalt shell collapsed before it could even take shape.

The white-haired monk took the opportunity to summon the Eight Desolate Demon-Suppressing Tower, but saw that the puppet held up the bottom of the tower with one hand, and purple lightning burst out from between his fingers, melting the treasure into iron liquid.

Although the Eight Desolate Demon Suppression Tower did not reach the seventh level, it was also a sixth-level top-grade treasure. I didn't expect it to be destroyed so easily by a seventh-level puppet.

It can be seen that the combat power of this seventh-level puppet is terrifyingly strong, because its combat power is infinitely close to the late seventh level.

The battle continued, and Zhang Chengwu understood that the goal now was not to defeat the seventh-level puppet, but to delay time.

Although the battle was brutal and caused heavy losses to the Dragon Guards, the transfer lasted for an hour.

After they had been struggling with the seventh-level puppet for another hour and a half, they had no choice but to use their last resort.

When the last thirty people who still retained their full combat strength burned their lifespans together to form a blood formation to kill gods, the seventh-level puppet also took out a method that had never been used before, and the phantoms of the sun and the moon suddenly appeared around the puppet.

The shadows of the sun and moon finally merged into the short spear.

The short spear pierced through the center of the formation with the power to annihilate stars, and a ten-foot-long crack split the earth into an abyss.

The survivors looked at the shattered bodies of their companions and finally understood that the gap between the Nascent Soul combat power and the seventh level combat power was a dark chasm that could not be filled even if they burned their lives.

On the other side, formation masters Lu Deban and Ye Ting led twenty-seven people in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm and escaped underground to the Youle Palace.

They have been in Youle Palace for quite some time, but have not yet achieved the desired results.

Master Lude is a seventh-level formation master who has received guidance from the formation saint Lu Chuan and has a very high level of attainment in formation.

The formation outside the Youle Palace was also a seventh-level formation, which trapped Li Xianchan, who had reached the level of fusion cultivation, inside and made it difficult for her to get out.

Originally, when Li Xianchan was still in the early stage of fusion, her activities were not limited to the Youle Palace.

But since she broke through to the middle stage of fusion, the Judgment Hall had people activate the palace protection formation of Youle Palace, restricting Li Xianchan's range of activities.

Because Li Xianchan secretly contacted other female cultivators on the Demon Island and secretly established an alliance called Yufeng Kefei.

The top brass of the Judgment Hall were afraid that they would unite to rebel.

If they make any noise, it may cost a huge price to suppress them.

So, they decided to capture the leader first and took Li Xianchan under control.

It’s a pity that the Judgment Hall did not see through Li Xianchan’s self-entrapment. It was a big chess game set up by the Han and Tang Immortal Dynasty for the Judgment Hall.

Now it's time to close the net.

Just as Ludban was working hard to break the formation, Zhang Chengwu and his men were about to give up and asked Ye Ting for help.

Fortunately, although Ludeban has not yet completely broken the protective formation of Youle Palace, he can already communicate with Li Xianchan.

"Your Highness, the Qianyuan celestial phenomenon will appear this autumn. I implore Your Majesty to establish our nation's prestige!"

Ludeban now quickly reports the situation outside to Li Xianchan.

He called Li Xianchan "Empress" so early. If someone heard it in the Han and Tang Xian Dynasty and reported it to the clan office, it would be a serious crime that would result in the extermination of six generations of his clan.

But now he was facing Li Xianchan who was outside and imprisoned in the Youle Palace. These words were more effective than anything else and could leave a deep impression on Ludeban.

Obviously, Ludeban not only has a high level of attainment in formation, but also has excellent social skills.

Li Xianchan in the palace knew about them as soon as Ludban arrived, but she was not distracted by their arrival at all.

When Ludban explained the situation outside, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze was like two rays of light, shooting out from her eyeballs.

Li Xianchan did not respond to Ludeban's words, but issued a few instructions first.

No one knows how she contacts the outside world or who she contacts.

Soon after, dozens of female cultivators at the Void Refining stage came to support Dragon Guard and fight against the seventh-level puppet together.

The seventh-level puppet seemed to have been given some kind of command, preventing it from killing these dozens of female cultivators in the Void Refining stage. As a result, the subsequent battle seemed somewhat restrained and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

This allowed the Dragon Guards to hold out until Li Xianchan broke out of the Youle Palace.

Li Xianchan broke out of the formation and teleported in front of the seventh-level puppet.

Li Xianchan appeared in front of the puppet and Dongwei like a fairy from the ninth heaven, and defeated the seventh-level puppet in just three moves.

"Jade Phoenix is ​​truly formidable. Even with all of us working together, we could barely hold off this copper nub, yet she effortlessly sent it flying. Not only is her beauty enviable, but her strength is beyond our reach!"

"Yes yes yes!"

A group of female cultivators actually praised Li Xianchan in public.

Li Xianchan said nothing about this, and all her attention was focused on the seventh-level puppet.

She looked at the seventh-level puppet carefully, thinking about the best way to deal with it.

The seventh-level puppet is made entirely of ghost mother soul copper, which is the top-level material used in refining puppets.

The bronze figure was wearing a long gown with curved hems and bronze scale armor, and a plain white silk ribbon hung three inches from his waist, forming metal tassels.

The ends of her phoenix eyes were adorned with intricate runes, emitting a faint blue glow as her movements flowed. Between her willow-shaped brows sat half a broken jade pendant, casting a shimmering afterimage as she moved. As Li Xianchan's icy blade pierced the air, the gears behind the puppet girl's neck jingled softly. The black iron short spear, held in her reverse grip, pierced through her armpit, its tip precisely shattering seven frost blades.

As she dodged the ice spikes, the bronze hairpins hanging from her hair trembled in the wind, and the dark gold earrings on her earlobes reflected rainbow light.

If it weren't for the occasional flash of mechanical joints in the veins on the back of her hand, she would have been practically identical to a cold female cultivator. As the short spear blocked the third wave of attack, the shaft spun out thirty-six afterimages, completely entangling the icy cold energy within the miniature magic circle carved by the spearhead.

The puppet, whose lips glowed with a cold mithril light, suddenly leaned back, and bent its waist into an arc that no mortal could achieve, and the end of its spear lifted up the blue bricks on the ground.

The flying gravel formed a dragon-trapping formation in mid-air, and the surface of each piece of gravel was floating with spiritual energy fluctuations that were no different from those of a real person.

Only by looking closely could one discover that the wheel deep in her pupils was rotating at the rate of the Tiangang, reflecting each of her opponent's starting gestures in the Taiyi hexagram on the surface of her iris.

This seventh-level puppet is very special and may have a long history and be of research value.

Therefore, Li Xianchan decided to use gentle means to deal with the seventh-level puppet.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Li Xianchan finally suppressed the seventh-level puppet. Then she was seen putting the seventh-level puppet away in a soul wood jade box.

She took the seventh-level puppet for herself.

When Li Xianchan was fighting against the seventh-level puppet, the Dragon Guard monks rushed to save the wounded.

In addition to Ludeban and his five formation masters who set up the formation, the other cultivators, under the command of Ye Ting, cooperated with the female cultivator Yufeng Kefei to gather the other nuns on the Demon Island.

The formation arranged by Ludban is a random teleportation formation.

They wanted to teleport all the female cultivators on the Demon Island away from here to disrupt the arrangement of the Judgment Hall.

When the female cultivators from Demon Island were teleported away one after another by the teleportation array, all the Dragon Guards looked at Li Xianchan.

"Oh. I almost forgot."

Ye Ting took out a directional teleportation disk and then Ludeban simply arranged the formation with the disk.

She also watched as Li Xianchan almost forgot her own responsibilities.

It can only be said that Li Xianchan's beauty even made Ye Ting, who is also a woman, feel moved and become infatuated with her.

"go!"

Li Xianchan gave the order and took the lead in standing in the directional teleportation array formed by the array disk.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of powerful men from the Judgment Hall, she and the Dragon Guards teleported away from the Demon Island.

Before this group of Judgment Hall experts, the Judgment Hall sent eight Void Refinement Realm experts to deal with the incident on Demon Island, but they underestimated the strength of this group of Dragon Guards, and Li Xianchan also came out of the Youle Palace.

The first batch of eight Void Refinement cultivators who arrived were all killed, including a Void Refinement Peak Demonic Cultivator.

This demon cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm could only self-destruct his primordial spirit, and most of his soul escaped with his life-saving magic weapon carrying it.

The second group of monks sent by the Judgment Hall was led by two monks in the late fusion stage.

If they hadn't walked fast, it would have been another tough battle.

Then, their next task would be difficult.

Li Xianchan and Long Wei used the fixed teleportation array and it took only an incense stick of time to teleport to the Demon Control Sect's territory.

The specific location is the Ten Thousand Demons Cave of the Demon Control Sect.

The Ten Thousand Demons Cave connects to the Ten Thousand Demons Sea on earth.

This is the main source of magical beasts and magic soldiers for the Yu Mo Dao Sect. Even other magic forces also train magic soldiers and capture magical beasts for training here.

Therefore, the entire Ten Thousand Demons Cave is a very important strategic location for the entire demonic path.

The purpose of Li Xianchan and his team's trip is to destroy this strategic location.

However, for such an important strategic location, the defense here is usually very strong.

According to information gathered by spies from the Han and Tang Immortal Dynasty, there is a late-stage fusion demon cultivator stationed here all year round.

Currently, the lustful demon Zhu Zhixiao of the Demon Control Sect should be in charge of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

Although Zhu Zhixiao is not considered a top-tier expert in the same realm, his methods are extremely strange and difficult to deal with.

In addition, the high-end combat force in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave has thirty powerful warriors in the Void Refinement Realm.

Among these thirty cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm, ten are from the Demon Control Sect, and the others are cultivators sent by the Judgment Hall and other forces to assist in the defense.

But as a cultivator in the late stage of fusion, even if Li Xianchan has a trump card in his hand, his chances of winning are not great.

The Dragon Guards had very little remaining Void Refining combat power. Thirty-three of them had died in the previous battle with the seventh-level puppets, and fourteen were seriously injured.

With this calculation, there are less than seventy people left in the Dragon Guards' virtual-refining combat strength.

Therefore, it is not advisable to attack this place head-on, and corresponding strategies need to be adopted.

Before they destroyed the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, the various demonic factions had already received news that the Demon Island had been breached by the righteous faction.

This news was a big event for most forces to watch, but along with this news, there was also the news that three thousand top female cultivators had escaped.

Under the instigation of the Demonic Path's spies in the Han and Tang Immortal Dynasty, the news about the female cultivator's cauldrons was exaggerated and described in detail, which aroused the covetousness of various major forces for these cauldrons.

Among them, there are rumored to be two rare combined female cauldrons in the world, and there are also two hundred refining female cauldrons.

There are more than one thousand female cauldron furnaces at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and more than one thousand five hundred female cauldron furnaces from the early to late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

In addition, the location of Magic Island was also announced.

They also described this place as a paradise on earth, with countless opportunities, attracting countless demon cultivators to flock here.

When the Judgment Hall came out to refute the rumors, many cultivators actually encountered the female cauldron and learned that it was indeed from the Demon Island.

The news spread quickly.

These female tripod furnaces are all extremely beautiful and rare in the world. Anyone who sees them wants to possess them.

In other words, even without considering that they possess the Miaolu Dao Body, this posture alone is enough to make countless powerful people salivate.

What's more, they possess the top-grade cauldron Taoist body that can help cultivators break through.

Countless cultivators went crazy for the cauldrons, and battles to grab the female cauldrons broke out in various places.

Therefore, the clarification of the Judgment Hall was seen by all walks of life as a sign of trying to cover up one's own faults.

It wasn't long before this happened near the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

When they heard that a female Dinglu at the peak of the Refinement Realm appeared a hundred miles away, two-thirds of the peak Refinement Realm experts guarding the Ten Thousand Demons Cave immediately left.

"Please give the order, Queen."

Ye Ting felt that the time was ripe and asked Li Xianchan to join the battle.

"Wait a moment, I'll lure the lust demon Zhu Zhixiao away before I take action."

Without waiting for anyone's response, Li Xianchan teleported away.

In less than half a minute, news of a battle between powerful warriors in the fusion realm came from a hundred miles away.

Not long after the battle, a phantom of a divine phoenix that covered the sky and the sun appeared in the air.

The phantom of the divine phoenix was an image of an immortal body that Li Xianchan intentionally displayed for Zhu Zhixiao to see.

The specific manifestation of the Divine Phoenix Bathing Immortal Body is that it can use the Divine Phoenix to come to the body, fight with the help of the power of the phoenix's momentum, and truly overwhelm the opponent with momentum.

"Hmm? Chuan Ying is indeed real! I didn't expect my luck to be so good that the Phoenix Bathing Nirvana Immortal Body appeared near me. It seems that my chance to make a contribution has come."

On a tower in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, Zhu Zhixiao slowly opened his eyes and murmured.

Without thinking too much, he teleported out of the tower and quickly headed to where Li Xianchan was.

As a powerful person in the Hehe realm, Zhu Zhixiao obtained more detailed information.

He knew that although Li Xianchan was in the middle stage of fusion, she had always been like a canary, kept in captivity among dragons.

Zhu Zhixiao thus deduced that although Li Xianchan could rely on the phoenix shadow brought by her immortal body, she actually had no combat power.

It can be seen from the fight just now. Well, the two sides had been fighting for less than half an incense stick of time when Li Xianchan had to use her trump card.

Even in Zhu Zhixiao's opinion, he would be able to capture the enemy easily if he took action.

Therefore, he did not think that leaving his post now would violate his duty to be in charge of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

This caused him to not seriously investigate any abnormalities nearby.

If he was careful enough and conducted a thorough investigation around the Ten Thousand Demons Cave first, not only would he have discovered the Dragon Guards' hiding place, he would have also noticed that someone was planning to take over the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

Because before Li Xianchan left, she made some changes to the protective formation of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, which made it easier for Ludeban and others to break the formation.

If Zhu Zhixiao could discover this and think deeply about it, he would understand Li Xianchan's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

What a pity! Zhu Zhixiao was not only eager to make a contribution, but was also moved by Li Xianchan's beauty, and could not think of anything else.

So, just as everyone was attracted by these rumors, the Dragon Guards led by Li Xianchan took action.

They moved at lightning speed and broke through the layers of guards in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

The last step is to destroy the demon-locking formation outside the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, so that the monsters inside can enter and exit the cave freely.

Monsters do not consider themselves to be of the devilish kind; they have the nature to destroy the world.

But if one escapes from the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, he will surely first unleash a violent storm of destruction on the Demonic Path.

Then, during the period of the Immortal Tribulation, the evil side will not be able to devote all its energy to dealing with the righteous side.

Originally, the Demonic Path wanted to start the Immortal Tribulation War in advance, but they didn't expect to be disrupted by the appearance of Li Xianchan.

If Li Chunlong successfully overcomes the tribulation and becomes an immortal, Li Xianchan's contribution will be enormous, and the possibility of her ascending the throne as empress will increase a lot.

At the critical moment, Zhu Zhixiao realized the seriousness of the matter and understood that it was not too late to mend the situation.

No matter how Li Xianchan tried to lure him, Zhu Zhixiao stopped chasing him and kept rushing back.

But at this time the situation changed. Li Xianchan took the initiative to attack Zhu Zhixiao to buy time for the Dragon Guards to break the formation.

At the same time, she also seduced with her beauty.

"Devil of Desire, do you know that I am the next empress of the Immortal Dynasty? Why don't you surrender to me now and become my favorite minister from now on?"

"Be your concubine? Humph! Wait until you become the empress before you dream of this."

Zhu Zhixiao replied unmoved.
