Chapter 309 Demon-Suppressing Circle (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Junior is seeking death!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing dared to fight back, Master Canglan was furious, but had no choice but to avoid his sharp edge.

If Canglan Zhenren hadn't been injured, he would have withstood the attack and killed Li Yunjing.

Now, severely injured by the Long-Armed Ape, and in critical condition, Master Canglan cannot waste his strength for no reason, nor can he further injure himself!

If he were to kill Li Yunjing, the Long-Armed Ape would turn against him and refuse to form an alliance with him, leaving Canglan Zhenren with no way out!
It was precisely because of this that Master Canglan managed to dodge the "Bing Fire Divine Thunder" by slightly dodging it.

With his evasive maneuver, Li Yunjing immediately gained a glimmer of hope. In a flash, he darted from the entrance of the second courtyard into the first courtyard.

Li Yunjing could see the current situation clearly. Since the Long-Armed Ape wouldn't dare to attack him because of the oath to Heaven, Li Yunjing could just run away. He figured that even True Person Canglan wouldn't be able to catch him.

Suddenly fleeing, Li Yunjing moved with incredible speed. Before the Canglan True Man could catch up to Li Yunjing, the figures of the allied forces from various factions appeared in front of him.

Clearly, at this point, the allied forces of various factions had passed the third test and entered "Yuquan Manor".

“Disciple Li Yunjing of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, everyone, there is a Canglan Zhenren here colluding with the Demon King, attempting to monopolize all the treasures of Yuquan Manor. Be careful!”

Li Yunjing's loud shout immediately caused a stir among the crowd, especially the two elders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," whose expressions changed drastically.

"court death!"

When Elder Zhou saw that this wretched person, Canglan Zhenren, dared to chase after his sect's disciples, he was immediately enraged and unleashed a lightning spell to strike him.

"Boom!"

Master Canglan, who had just chased after the gate, was startled and retreated back into the second courtyard.

In his current state, let alone fighting the elders of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect," even if he were in perfect health, whether he could kill Elder Zhou is another matter entirely.

"You're Li Yunjing! You got in here? Tell me about what's going on inside!"

Ignoring everything else, Elder Zhou quickly asked Li Yunjing, seeing that he was unharmed.

"Alright! Here's what happened. This is the dojo of a half-step Nascent Soul Realm expert named Yuquan Jushi. It's fraught with danger, and I haven't explored very far before I encountered a third-tier demon king!"

"Elder, you must be careful! According to my observation, this demon king is at least at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm!"

"And that Canglan Zhenren is no good either; he's a Golden Core Realm expert who has dropped his cultivation level."

"This person has information about this place, and no one knows how much he is hiding. Elders and seniors, you must not be careless!"

After saying all that, Li Yunjing explained the layout of the first, second, and third courtyards of "Yuquan Villa," as well as some of the restrictions and how to trigger them.

If everyone investigates these matters, they will discover the secrets behind them. Li Yunjing has no intention of hiding anything, since he has already gained enough benefits.

He was already completely satisfied.

As for whether he could get a share of the pie, Li Yunjing didn't have a strong desire for it.

"Good! Li Yunjing, you've done a great job!"

After listening to Li Yunjing's comprehensive introduction and combining it with their exploration along the way, everyone compared it with each other and immediately understood the layout of the place. Elder Zhou praised them repeatedly.

Even the Golden Core cultivators from other sects nodded kindly to Li Yunjing.

Having obtained detailed information about "Yuquan Manor" from Li Yunjing and understanding its special nature, the eight Golden Core Realm experts shouted and quickly entered the second courtyard.

Many experts unleashed their divine senses, searching in all directions for the whereabouts of the Long-Armed Ape and the Immortal Canglan.

Although the eight masters paid some attention to the Tongbi Ape's cultivation level when Li Yunjing mentioned it, they were not afraid at all.

None of the people present were experts above the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm, and there was only one elder from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" at the sixth level.

The remaining seven people were at the first to fifth level of the Golden Core Realm.

Although everyone's cultivation level is lower than that of the Long-Armed Ape, unlike this kind of demonic beast, every Golden Core Realm expert has a magic weapon to protect them.

With the eight of them working together, they were more than capable of sweeping away the Long-Armed Ape and the Azure Wave Immortal with overwhelming force.

In less than fifteen minutes, the group had emptied the second courtyard.

According to the agreement reached by all parties, almost everyone received a share, and Li Yunjing was also given a magical artifact.

This brought Li Yunjing an unexpected surprise.

However, seeing these important figures find three magical treasures in the "weapon refining room" still made Li Yunjing somewhat envious.

If these people had come in a little later, Li Yunjing might have been able to gain even more benefits from them.

Now, Li Yunjing has no hope left.

After searching the second courtyard, the group stepped into the third courtyard.

Upon entering the garden, everyone was stunned and could hardly contain their greed.

Just like when Li Yunjing saw this place, everyone was envious of the rare treasures in the garden.

Especially the eight Golden Core Realm experts, who were having difficulty breathing, their eyes wide open like copper bells, wishing they could sweep away every single blade of grass and tree in the garden!

With these treasures, they will have the resources to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm!

That supreme realm is no longer a mirage!

As the saying goes, the higher one's cultivation level, the greater one's desires!

This is the current situation; Li Yunjing's reminder has long been forgotten.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Finally, everyone couldn't help but take action, even some Foundation Establishment cultivators joined in.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a seven-colored light shield rose up in the garden, and streams of light shot out in all directions from within the shield. Anyone who entered these flowers and plants within three zhang (approximately 10 meters) was subjected to a terrifying attack!

In the blink of an eye, more than fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators were annihilated before they even understood what was happening.

Those Golden Core cultivators were naturally the main targets of the attack. Among them, the two weakest Golden Core cultivators at the first level only managed to block three or four beams of light by activating their magic treasures before being hit and perishing within the restriction.

The remaining six Golden Core cultivators were still struggling.

Outside the light barrier, those who hadn't yet made a move showed expressions of horror, retreating in panic, including Li Yunjing.

His face was also filled with shock, and he was filled with lingering fear.

"kill!"

At that moment, the long-armed ape and Canglan Zhenren, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared and began to slaughter the group of panicked Foundation Establishment cultivators.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators from all sides were harvested in large numbers, like weeds.

"Damn it! These seniors are useless! Each and every one of them is so greedy that they've put themselves in dire straits, leaving me in danger!"

Li Yunjing cursed inwardly, picked up a few storage magic items, and moved swiftly, taking a detour to delve deeper into the third courtyard.

Anyway, with the oath of Heaven, as long as the Long-Armed Ape has a sliver of hope, it won't kill him. As for True Person Canglan?
After observing the situation, Li Yunjing believed he was capable of dealing with the man and that he wasn't afraid of him.

With this clear idea in mind, Li Yunjing advanced instead of retreating. This scene was naturally seen clearly by the Long-Armed Ape, which sneered repeatedly at Li Yunjing's greed.

At this moment, the most important thing is to temporarily ignore these ants and try to eliminate them as much as possible to prepare for dealing with the Golden Core cultivators later.

"Damn it! That beast has appeared!"

"We're trapped! The disciples outside are doomed!"

"How to do?"

"What else can we do? We're barely able to take care of ourselves, let alone manage what's happening outside!"

"I just hope the disciples outside will be quick-witted and escape as soon as possible!"

...The remaining six Golden Core cultivators could only say this.

Aside from defending against the seven-colored light, and being a few experts, they could spare some time to help the Foundation Establishment disciples who hadn't yet been killed.

Of course, the restriction won't be lifted anytime soon, and it's estimated that in the end, not many of these disciples will remain.

The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators outside weren't stupid either. Later, seeing that the situation was not good, they fled in all directions. With so many people scattered, even the Long-Armed Ape and the Azure Wave True Man would find it difficult to keep everyone here.

Including Li Yunjing, there were more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators who escaped from the massacre.

"Trying to escape? Kill them all!"

Upon seeing blood, and having killed so many cultivators in succession, especially by grabbing their corpses and chewing them voraciously until its face was covered in blood, the Long-Armed Ape became even more ferocious and its killing spree became even more frenzied.

"Oh no! The Demon King is coming for me! Everyone, come save me!"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly saw the Long-Armed Ape rushing towards him. He turned pale with fright, his body constantly flashing as he circled around the Long-Armed Ape, frantically roaring and begging someone to come and save him.

But how could these Foundation Establishment cultivators possibly save someone from a demon king who was suspected to be at the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of the Golden Core realm?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the crowd even sped up and fled in all directions.

This is the great calamity that is coming; it's better to die for my fellow Daoist than for me!
Before this Foundation Establishment cultivator could even circle around a few times, he was grabbed by the Long-Armed Ape. With a slight exertion of its powerful arm, the cultivator's bones were crushed to pieces with a "crack".

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

In just a few bites, the Foundation Establishment cultivator was swallowed.

"Tongbi Demon King, what do we do now? Should we still pursue those who escaped?"

Looking at the ferocious gibbon, Master Canglan trembled as he stood at a distance and asked in a low voice.

"Don't pursue them for now! Once they break free from the restrictions, we'll wait and take them down!"

Bloodlust flashed in the eyes of the Long-Armed Ape. With great difficulty, it suppressed its killing intent and let Canglan Zhenren go.

"Tongbi Demon King, my cultivation has not yet recovered, and I am no match for those Golden Core cultivators. Should I go and hunt down Li Yunjing?"

Suppressing his fear, Master Canglan revealed his plan.

"Um……"

The gibbon thought for a moment and realized that as long as Master Canglan and Li Yunjing did not leave "Yuquan Manor", they would die at its hands sooner or later, so there was no rush to kill them.

As Master Canglan said, his strength is insufficient to participate in the upcoming great battle.

Then it would be better to let him deal with Li Yunjing, who was the most troublesome person for him. Then he would be free of burdens. Thinking of this, the Long-Armed Ape nodded and ordered, "Go!"

"Yes!"

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Master Canglan was overjoyed and quickly transformed into a streak of light, chasing after the depths of the three-courtyard complex.

His purpose in pursuing Li Yunjing was simple: to take advantage of the situation here and restore his Golden Core cultivation.

The current situation is becoming increasingly dangerous. Without the cultivation of the Golden Core Realm, True Person Canglan has no sense of security at all in the Jade Spring Manor.

Not long after, the seven-colored light barrier dissipated.

The restrictions here are, after all, restrictions from seven thousand years ago. It is truly remarkable that they have been able to retain so much power. How can they still unleash the power they had at their peak?
"You beast! How dare you slaughter so many of our disciples! I'll kill you!"

The Louguan sect had the most disciples, and naturally, the most died as well. Even the most important true disciples of the Louguan sect lost three or four of them.

The two elders of Louguandao, Cangyue Zhenren and Cangsong Zhenren, roared almost simultaneously, and the magic weapons in their hands shone with the most brilliant light, sweeping towards the Tongbi Ape.

Elder Wang and Elder Zhou of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" also joined in the attack, while two other experts from other sects were equally unwilling to be outdone and also made their moves.

As soon as the six Golden Core cultivators appeared, they began to surround and kill the Long-Armed Ape.

As for the few Foundation Establishment cultivators who survived inside the seven-colored light shield, they all fled without being told what to do. Whether they were looking for treasure or preparing to escape, no one dared to approach the battlefield of the seven experts.

"Boom!"

A group of people launched a barrage of attacks on the gibbon. Even the demon king seemed to sense a threat, and its actions became less flamboyant and more cautious.

Elder Wang and Elder Zhou of the Shenxiao Dao Sect; True Man Cangyue and True Man Cangsong of the Louguan Dao Sect; Ma Kuihong, the patriarch of the Ma family, a family of cultivators; and Sima Yi, the patriarch of the Sima family—six great masters in total—made their moves one after another, showing no mercy!

These six Golden Core Realm experts working together are more than enough to sweep away many demon masters. The fact that the Long-Armed Ape dared to cruelly kill so many disciples from various sects and factions is enough to cause a huge upheaval.

For both public and private reasons, the six Golden Core cultivators must kill him to avenge their grievances and dominate "Jade Spring Manor".

"These human cultivators are amazing!"

After this encounter, the Long-Armed Ape witnessed firsthand the power of the human race.

Six Golden Core cultivators hastily set up the "Six Harmonies Formation," truly trapping it in the center of the formation, making it difficult for it to escape.

Left with no other option, the gibbon finally used its true skill: it pulled a thin bone from its ear.

The bone grew longer in the wind, eventually becoming a long white bone staff over ten feet long!

This long white bone staff belongs to the Long-Armed Ape clan. Countless ancestors of the Long-Armed Ape perished, and in the end, it was melted down by this Long-Armed Ape and forged into its natal magic weapon.

This "white bone staff" is extremely powerful; as soon as it appeared, it unleashed killing intent on the surrounding battle groups.

The long white bone staff whistled through the air as the gibbon wielded it, but the encirclement remained intact. The gibbon was trapped in the middle, struggling to break free from its encirclement.

He single-handedly held off six Golden Core Realm experts, which was truly impressive. It was already good enough that he was able to protect himself; to think he could escape was wishful thinking.

"That monkey demon is incredibly powerful!"

"Everyone be careful! We must hold the formation steady, otherwise if this beast escapes, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven to trap it again!"

"Yes! We must surround it!"

"Elder Wang, Elder Zhou, if we use talismans to freeze it for a moment, do you two have any ideas on how to use lightning magic to kill it?"

The six Golden Core Realm experts secretly communicated, and finally, True Person Cangyue asked a question via telepathy.

"Good! If you can immobilize it, we brothers will blast it with lightning!"

Using lightning magic is extremely taxing, but in order to kill this gibbon, Elder Wang agreed to use his ultimate move.

After the discussion, the six Golden Core Realm experts continued their battle with the Long-Armed Ape at the same pace, seemingly having exhausted their skills and run out of powerful techniques.

Having fought with human cultivators for a long time, the Long-Armed Ape had become accustomed to human attack methods. Suddenly, it unleashed something—the "Puppet Mechanical Beast."

The eagle spread its wings and swooped down on the Ma family patriarch, who was at the second level of the Golden Core Realm.

This scene greatly surprised everyone.

No one expected that the gibbon had a backup plan at this critical moment.

The suddenly flying third-tier "puppet mechanical beast" rushed straight at him, immediately disrupting the Ma family patriarch. Facing a "puppet mechanical beast" of this level, he would be seriously injured if he was not careful. Therefore, he changed his attack rhythm, switching from offense to defense, and carefully guarded against it to avoid injury.

The remaining five immediately sensed something was wrong!
Cangyue Zhenren and Cangsong Zhenren exchanged a glance and each took out a talisman from their bodies. As soon as the talisman was activated, it released a terrifying killing intent.

The moment this murderous aura appeared, the long-armed ape felt a bad premonition. Its attack paused, and it began to defend itself—a purely instinctive reaction.

"Demon-Suppressing Talisman!"

Cangyue Zhenren and Cangsong Zhenren shouted at the same time, and two talismans flew out, forming a double fish pattern around the Tongbi Ape. From the talismans, black and white rays of light shot into the sky.

A protective light shield formed, completely blocking the Long-Armed Ape's circuitry and trapping it in a space about three zhang in size.

This space is already extremely small, enough to truly annihilate this demon!

Elder Wang and Elder Zhou, both extremely experienced, immediately seized the opportunity and unleashed a series of ruthless attacks, instantly killing the Long-Armed Ape!

Both of them unleashed their strongest lightning techniques, their moves ruthless and incredibly fast. Even the Long-Armed Ape couldn't stop them, and they crashed heavily into the "Demon-Suppressing Circle."
