Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 454 New Enemy
"Oh my! So much malevolent energy!"

In the Great Luo Palace, Gu Zhao received a lot of malevolent energy, and the number of lightning seeds in his sea of ​​consciousness was increased to eight. Even so, this was after many old Taoists were mobilized and a large amount of malevolent energy was taken away by them.

"Is Ancestor Chiwang dead?" Gu Zhao asked telepathically.

“They’re dead.” Daoist Yansong replied telepathically. “Red Moon Valley was also destroyed. All 132 wolf demons and wolf-like monsters were wiped out. We also took the opportunity to patrol the surrounding area and clean up some monsters that had not yet taken human form but were full of malevolent energy.”

"Did you encounter any other obstacles?" Gu Zhao asked again. "Did any other fools or monsters show up to help?"

"No, we've set up an array. Even if he has friends in the Southern Frontier, they won't have time to get here."

"Moreover, we also gained something unexpected from this battle," said Daoist Yansong. "Li Chiwang had a treasure that was similar to the aura of the Heart Wheel, which we seized. It was one of the six treasures of the Six-Headed Divine Lord, the Eye Sword."

"Heart Chakra? Eye Sword?"

“That’s right.” Daoist Ming Chong joined the group chat. “Li Chiwang also coveted the power and prestige of the Six-Headed Divine Lord. He heard that after collecting all six treasures, one could cultivate the Six-Headed Divine Power. So he killed one of the Six-Headed Divine Lord’s disciples, named Bi Lingjun, and seized his magic weapon, the Eye Sword.”

"What a pity," Gu Zhao sighed.

"Yes, what a pity," Master Mingchong sighed, noting that the centipede demon had provided a considerable amount of malevolent energy.

Master Yihong suddenly said, "There are indeed more demons and monsters in the Southern Frontier than in the Central Plains. Many demons and monsters raise people like livestock, either as food or to refine magical treasures."

"Don't go too deep," Gu Zhao cautioned. "There are powerful demons lurking deep within the southern borders."

"Understood." Master Yihong nodded. "Let's go back first. There's still a ghost or deity in Shanzhou that we haven't dealt with yet."

"The Hall of Illusory Flowers, Lady Illusory Flowers." Gu Zhao knew who Daoist Yi Hong was referring to, of course. He had met this ghost and deity once at the birthday banquet on Rainbow Mountain.

"Brother Gaoyue asked us to leave some soup for them," Daoist Yuanhe said with a smile.

These sixteen old Taoists, who had previously participated in the battles to annihilate the Ink Dragon and Yun Fei'ang, have now joined forces to destroy Red Moon Valley, gaining a large amount of malevolent energy and greatly enhancing their foundation.

With the murderous aura they gained from these battles, they could sustain their high-speed cultivation for a long time to come, so they didn't plan to go to Shanzhou to continue plundering resources.

"But there are only six of them, Uncle Gao Yue. Will it be alright in Shanzhou?" Gu Zhao asked with some concern.

The old Taoist priests all burst into laughter.

“There aren’t that many masters in the world. Lady Huanhua has only cultivated for a little over a thousand years, less than two thousand years. Although they may not be able to defeat her, they will not be defeated,” Daoist Yansong said with a smile.

“Zhiqing, Zhixiu, Hanzheng, and Hanxuan are also diligently cultivating,” Daoist Mingyu said with a smile. “Once they break through their cultivation levels, it will be time to destroy the Illusion Flower Palace.”

Master Yuzhang added, "Senior Brother Lingya will be here soon too."

Master Lingya is from the Ziyang Sect of Feiyun Mountain. Although he came a year later than Master Zhiqing and the others, he is older, has a deeper foundation, and possesses profound Ziyang Danqi. When he makes a move, he unleashes a great sun of Ziyang, whose power is no less than that of Master Shenhao.

"Then let them take over Shanzhou." Gu Zhao nodded, then asked for everyone's opinion, "The Spring Festival is coming soon again. Where should we hold our third Spring Festival Grand Ceremony?"

Yun Yang was the first to suggest, "Why don't we hold it at the Da Luo Palace branch temple in Yun Tian Cliff, Shanzhou? The last New Year's Grand Ritual was held at the Hei Yan Mountain branch temple."

"No," Daoist Yihong objected. "You'll scare away all the demons and monsters in Shanzhou. If you frighten them away or they go into hiding, it'll be a huge hassle for us to find them again."

“Then let’s keep it at Cuiluo Mountain. After all, holding the New Year’s Grand Ritual at Heiyan Mountain was a special case, and we needed to inform Chaoyang Island and Jishen Mountain,” said Daoist Yansong.

So everyone decided that the New Year's Grand Ritual would still be held at the headquarters of the Daluo Palace on Cuiluo Mountain.

……

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" The old Taoists flew away.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" Fairies and monsters with little or no malevolent energy approached Red Moon Valley.

"Ancestor Chiwang has been killed?" "All the monsters in Red Moon Valley have been killed!"

"And those wolf demons and wolf-like monsters outside that hadn't yet taken human form were also killed."

Why weren't we killed?

"Maybe it's because we're cowards? All the monsters we killed were arrogant and domineering."

"I think it's because they kill for pleasure and use souls to refine treasures."

"Huh? Could it be that they destroyed Red Moon Valley because they kept mortals as food?"

"Who are they?"

A group of demons and monsters looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they saw a red light flash across the horizon, instantly covering dozens of miles and landing above Red Moon Valley, revealing the image of a bewitching and beautiful woman.

"Li Chiwang, you give me..."

The beautiful woman had only spoken halfway when she suddenly discovered that the gates of Red Moon Valley were wide open, demonic energy was spreading, and the surrounding air contained lingering traces of various magical powers, such as fire and water.

The beautiful woman transformed into a streak of red light, circled around Red Moon Valley, and then landed beside two men not far away.

The two men's expressions changed drastically. They tried to escape, but they were instantly paralyzed and couldn't move at all.

The beautiful woman smiled alluringly and asked softly, "What happened in Red Moon Valley?"

"Not long ago, someone came to Red Moon Valley, set up an array, and destroyed the entire valley," a man said hurriedly.

"Li Chiwang is dead too?"

"died."

"Who did it?"

"do not know."

"Did you see Li Chiwang take out a blood-red sword?" The beautiful woman's eyes flickered.

“I’ve never seen it.” Another man hurriedly shook his head. “Those people have shrouded the valley with an array, so we can’t see anything at all.”

The beautiful woman thought about what she had just seen. Apart from some monster corpses, some spiritual materials in the valley had also been swept away.

"Which direction did they go?"

"north!"

"The North? The Central Plains?"

"Yes, yes, it must be the Central Plains!"

"Snow God Mountain?" The beautiful woman subconsciously thought of Snow God Mountain. After all, Snow God Mountain was the closest major power in the Central Plains to the Southern Frontier, and it was also capable of easily destroying Red Moon Valley.

“No, it’s not Snow God Mountain.” The beautiful woman shook her head, sensing the lingering Daoist Qi, and felt the demonic power within her body stirring restlessly, as if it had encountered its nemesis.

"Whoever they are, they must have stolen the Eye Sword."

Thinking of this, the beautiful woman glanced back at the south, a look of fear flashing in her eyes, "Without the Eye Sword, how can I be a match for Senior Brother?"

The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes, carefully memorizing the lingering aura in the air. Then, with a leap, she transformed into a streak of red light and flew rapidly northward.
