Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 184 Sword Master Ling Tianhou led everyone to the East Sea Demon Spirit
The moment the sword energies clashed, Lin Che suddenly groaned, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

This was not a disguise, but a deliberate attempt to guide the backlash of spiritual energy, causing the aura to become chaotic.

Lin Che struggled to his feet, cupped his hands in a respectful bow to Ling Tianhou before him, and said softly, "This disciple's cultivation is shallow; I apologize for making a fool of myself in front of Master."

Seeing this, Ling Tianhou's suspicion lessened slightly. He sheathed the golden sword and said indifferently, "Get up. You will be going with the team to the Demon Spirit Gate this time. If you can come back alive, I will guide you through the essentials of sword techniques."

Lin Che was secretly delighted, but on the surface he was filled with trepidation and thanked his master.

After everyone left, Lin Che returned to the quiet room and found Xu Liguo lurking suspiciously at the door.

"Master, has that old man discovered it?"

Xu Liguo lowered his voice, looking flustered, afraid that the old bastard Ling Tianhou would discover something and kill the evil star right there.

Lin Che said calmly, "Not yet. After all, that old fellow Ling Tianhou is a late-stage Jingni Great Perfection expert. He also noticed that the energy emanating from my body was a bit strange, so he took action to test me."

"So what do we do next?"

Xu Liguo asked.

"This probing is over, and I suppose Lord Lingtian will not take any further action. However... we should still proceed with caution to avoid causing us unnecessary trouble."

Upon hearing the words of the Fiend Star, Xu Liguo nodded. There was no better way now, but he hoped that Ling Tianhou would not know the Fiend Star's true identity.

otherwise……

Xu Liguo felt scared...

.........

After everything was ready, Lin Che followed Ling Tianhou and the others and flew towards the direction of the East Sea Demon Spirit.

Therefore, this place is fraught with danger, and Ling Tianhou personally led the team, fearing that danger might occur during the journey, causing the twelve swordsmen he had painstakingly trained to die tragically among the demons of the East Sea.

Even members of the Cultivation Alliance came to inspect the East Sea Demon Spirit Gate. However, Tian Yunzi, Sword Venerable Ling Tianhou, and other powerful old monsters around them rarely showed the same attitude towards outsiders entering the East Sea.

This state continued for a long time, and gradually, the Gate of the East Sea Demon Spirits naturally became the place of confinement for the Heavenly Fortune Star.

The closer they got to the Gate of the East Sea Demons, the stronger the stench of blood became. The stench seemed to materialize, penetrating their nostrils and making them feel nauseous.

The sky was obscured by thick, dark clouds, and not a ray of sunlight could be seen. Above the sea, an eerie dark red mist filled the air, and within the mist, unidentified objects could be faintly seen floating.

When the group hovered before the gate of the demon spirits, the scene before them was terrifying.

The sea was covered with countless skeletons, some intact, some broken, and some with remnants of decaying flesh. As the waves rose and fell, they made a chilling clattering sound.

The owners of these skeletons were clearly from different races, including human cultivators and various strange and grotesque beasts. They must have entered this place with a desire for opportunity, but ultimately met their demise.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and a gigantic skeleton slowly rose from the seabed. The skeleton was a hundred feet long, shaped like a giant dragon, and emitted a ghostly green light. In its empty eye sockets, it seemed that a soul was struggling and roaring. Countless tiny vines, covered with sharp thorns, were wrapped around its body, greedily absorbing the remaining spiritual energy from the skeleton.

The surrounding smaller skeletons were drawn in and moved toward the dragon skeleton as if in worship, or as if being pulled by an invisible force.

"What... what's going on?" The Snake among the Twelve Sons of Sword Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his voice trembling slightly.

Ling Tianhou's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "This East Sea Demon Spirit Gate becomes more bizarre and dangerous each time it opens. These skeletons are probably controlled by the power of demon spirits, so we must be careful."

As he spoke, Ling Tianhou's immortal power surged, and a layer of golden light enveloped everyone to prevent them from being corroded by the strange skeletal aura.

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Che couldn't help but marvel at the danger of this place. He feared that even a cultivator at the Ascension stage would surely die if they took the wrong step.

The East Sea Demon Spirit Gate of Tianyun Star opens each time, and the number of people entering is numerous, ranging from hundreds to thousands.

The lowest level of these people's cultivation is the Nascent Soul stage, and the highest level is even those who have just grasped the meaning of Yin and Yang, emptiness and reality.

However, this is the highest limit. On Tianyun Star, there are strict restrictions on those who enter this place.

Anyone whose cultivation level exceeds the peak level is absolutely not allowed to enter.

After all, this place is prepared for disciples of various sects. Even if it is opened, it will only be half open. In this way, the danger inside will be weaker, and not all of them will perish here.

This is why Lin Che chose to hide here, suppressing his cultivation to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, all to deceive others.

Beyond the East China Sea in the void, countless cultivators had already arrived in dense numbers. These cultivators were all those who were preparing to enter.

They were dressed in various different Taoist robes, which were interspersed but clearly distinguished, with disciples from different sects standing together, creating a lively scene.

As time went by, more and more cultivators came from outside the East Sea. Occasionally, some old monsters who had not shown themselves for a long time would bring their disciples here.

Whenever this type of person appears, it causes a commotion, and most cultivators will give way to them.

Beyond the East Sea, in the void, a red light almost enveloped the starry sky. At the same time, a thick stench of blood immediately permeated the surroundings, instantly turning countless areas into a blood-red world.

"It's actually the Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai... He actually came here in person..."

Upon hearing the words "Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai," Lin Che's gaze involuntarily lingered on the other party, clearly not expecting the Blood Ancestor to appear here.

You should know that Yao Xixue, the daughter of Blood Ancestor Yao Xinghai, is in his storage ring. If Blood Ancestor finds out that his daughter has been captured, he will fight at all costs.

Not only did the Blood Star cultivators come to this place, but even the Earth Star, one of the sub-stars of the Heavenly Fortune Star, came to surround this area to prevent anyone from causing trouble here.

Ling Tianhou put one hand behind his back, glanced at the Blood Ancestor not far away, and said indifferently, "So it is Fellow Daoist Yao Xinghai, the Blood Ancestor. I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still at the mid-stage of the Pure Nirvana Realm."

Yao Xinghai raised his head, looked coldly at Ling Tianhou in front of him, and snorted disdainfully, "Sword Venerable, you flatter me. You've also been stuck at the late stage of the Pure Nirvana realm for hundreds of years."
