Chapter 66 The Six Sects of the Demonic Path [Seeking First Subscription]

The Trial Grounds.

Today marks the seventh day since Zhou Tai arrived at the Trial Grounds, and he remains in the sanctuary he built.

In those seven days, he killed two demonic cultivators.

Besides the Demon-Slaying Sect disciple killed on the first night, another trial disciple of the Corpse Demon Sect was killed on the fifth day.

The six demonic sects of the Ba Kingdom are the White Bone Demonic Sect, the Corpse Demonic Sect, the Illusion Moon Valley, the Blood Spirit Sect, the Demon-Controlling Sect, and the Power Demonic Sect.

Each of the six demonic sects has its own strengths, and their demonic arts and secret techniques are unique. Ordinary cultivators who face disciples of the six demonic sects often lose more often than they win if they don't have any means of countering them.

However, for Zhou Tai, the disciples of the six major demonic sects were all under his control, and only the Illusion Moon Valley would be slightly more difficult to deal with.

Just like the Corpse Demon Sect disciple he killed.

This person used the Corpse Demon Sect's unique corpse refining secret method to create three first-tier high-grade corpses with the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining. Ordinary late stage Qi Refining cultivators were no match for him.

However, Zhou Tai, having taken the initiative, used only three Thunder Spear Talismans and three Thunder Strike Talismans to cripple the three first-grade high-level refined corpses on the spot. In the end, the Corpse Demon Sect disciple himself was also killed on the spot by Zhou Tai with the Silver Star Sword after consuming two Thunder Spear Talismans and five first-grade high-level magic talismans.

Because the enemy was killed with a sword, his storage bag was well preserved, and Zhou Tai reaped a great reward.

His storage bag contained not only a demonic trial token belonging to him, but also an immortal trial token, indicating that he had obtained them before.

Zhou Tai suddenly gained the wealth of two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, giving him hundreds of low-grade spirit stones, three relatively intact first-grade high-quality magic weapons, several first-grade high-quality magic talismans, and a considerable amount of pills.

He also realized that if he could achieve his initial goal, he would not only obtain a complete set of Foundation Establishment spiritual items after leaving, but his net worth would also increase dramatically.

After all, among the cultivators who participated in this trial, whether from the immortal or demonic path, there were no weaklings.

Even the relatively weak Spirit Beast Mountain gave its trial disciples a first-grade high-quality magic weapon for free, let alone other forces.

In addition, other trial disciples would spare no expense to purchase powerful magical artifacts to arm themselves in order to increase their chances of survival in the trials.

If these people die at the hands of the enemy, their magical artifacts and equipment will naturally become the enemy's spoils of war.

"It's already the seventh day. The number of people in the trial grounds should have decreased significantly by now. The real hunt is about to begin!"

Zhou Tai poked his head out of the shelter, looked up at the dimly lit forest outside, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He knew very well that when everyone was first thrown into the trial grounds, there would definitely be some chaos. Some impatient people or those who were overconfident would be eager to kill and plunder.

Now, six days have passed. These people are either dead or injured and have realized that things are not as simple as they imagined, so they will not act rashly again.

Therefore, the next trial ground is a large hunting ground where everyone will be the prey, and everyone will also consider themselves a hunter.

As Zhou Tai predicted, the number of times he could hear the sounds of fighting each day decreased significantly over the next two or three days.

When he first entered the trial grounds, he would hear the sounds of battles seven or eight times, or even more than ten times, every day. Many of these sounds came from dozens of miles away and were already extremely faint.

However, the sounds of battle have greatly decreased in the past few days, sometimes not even more than three times a day.

On the afternoon of the tenth day, Zhou Tai heard the sounds of fierce fighting again. This time, the sound was very close to him, about ten miles away. He could see the occasional flashes of fire in the distance.

Seeing this, he glanced at the scene for a moment, then suppressed his urge to go and investigate, and continued to sit and watch the show.

But as they watched, they discovered that the commotion over there not only didn't subside, but actually grew louder.

"What's going on? Did both sides receive reinforcements? Or did the other birds run into each other?"

As Zhou Tai watched the flashes of fire in the distance, his curiosity reached its peak.

The reason he didn't go over earlier was because he was worried about running into other cultivators who were trying to take advantage of the situation.

If he runs into people from the other five major sects, that would be fine. But if he runs into demonic cultivators, and if he can't be silenced quickly, and people find out his identity as a thunder cultivator, he might be besieged by the demonic cultivators.

But now, seeing the chaotic battle unfolding over there, and being unable to understand what was happening, he felt an unbearable itch in his heart, like a cat scratching a monkey.

"Calm down, calm down. Haste makes waste. Good things come to those who wait. Let's be patient and wait a few more days!"

Zhou Tai silently recited the four-character mantra "avoid arrogance and impetuosity" in his heart, and managed to control his curiosity.

By the time no more sound came out, more than fifteen minutes had passed.

In a place like the Trial Grounds, controlling the duration of a battle is crucial; the longer it drags on, the more opportunities others will have to exploit the situation.

Therefore, whenever Zhou Tai made a move, he would always try to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible and then leave the scene as quickly as possible.

But today's chaotic brawl lasted for nearly 45 minutes, which is enough to show how intense it was.

It's just that we don't know which side will be the final winner!

Night fell quickly. Zhou Tai, who had been hiding all day, finally couldn't resist leaving the shelter and releasing Lai Fu, the Clawed Wind Owl, who had been sleeping in the spirit beast pouch all day, to go out and scout the situation.

The fight between those people was fierce in the afternoon. If anyone was injured, they probably wouldn't have gone too far. He wanted to see if he could still get some scraps.

To Zhou Tai's utter surprise, the Clawed Owl Laifu flew away less than a quarter of an hour before quickly returning, making loud "coo-coo" warnings as it flew, its cries filled with panic.

Upon hearing its cry, Zhou Tai's expression suddenly changed.

It turns out that the sharp-clawed owl Laifu was using its calls to tell him that a flying mouse was chasing it.

When ordinary people hear the word "flying rat," they might actually think it refers to a flying rat monster.

Zhou Tai knew, however, that Lai Fu was actually referring to the flying bat.

Lai Fu is now a first-tier low-grade demon beast, and the flying bat that chased it so frantically to escape must not be an ordinary demon beast.

"I wonder if it's a spirit pet raised by the five sects of Heng Kingdom, or a demonic pet raised by a demonic cultivator!"

As Zhou Tai's thoughts raced through his mind, he swiftly emerged from the shelter, letting out a soft whistle.

His whistling had barely begun when he saw the Clawed Owl, Laifu, crash headfirst through a branch and land beside him, its beak still stained with blood, as if it had suffered internal injuries.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai felt both heartache and anger.

He hurriedly opened the spirit beast pouch and said, "Laifu, you go in and rest first, leave the rest to me!"

Goo!

Laifu barked softly to warn its master to be careful, then burrowed into the spirit beast pouch.

Just as Zhou Tai put Lai Fu into his spirit beast pouch, he looked up and saw the bat-like monster chasing after his beloved pet.

It was a giant bat with bluish-black fur and wingspan of several meters. Its body was as strong as a wolf, and its eyes gleamed with cunning and ferocity.

Zhou Tai made a slight hand seal and swept his hands in front of his eyes, casting "Spiritual Vision" on himself. He quickly discerned the cultivation level of the giant blue-winged bat through the spiritual light emanating from its body.

This was clearly a first-tier high-grade demonic beast, and it was not tainted by any demonic energy.

Just then, Zhou Tai saw the giant blue-winged bat's mouth widen significantly. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately summoned the Azure Cloud Shield and activated his protective magic artifact.

As soon as Huang Mengmeng's protective aura appeared, it began to shake violently, as if it would dissipate at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Tai hurriedly activated another first-grade high-quality magic talisman, "Golden Light Shield," which transformed into a golden light shield to protect himself.

His reaction was necessary because the protective amulet's light shield quickly became overwhelmed and shattered and dissipated on the spot with a "crack"!

At this moment, Zhou Tai understood what kind of invisible attack he had suffered, and he also knew how the Clawed Wind Owl Lai Fu had been injured.

The giant blue-winged bat had transformed its sonic abilities into a powerful sonic spell.

Moreover, this sonic attack spell doesn't end immediately; it's a continuous barrage of attacks, like a tidal wave.

Having understood this, Zhou Tai naturally had no reason not to retaliate when attacked.

He flipped his hand, and a lightning strike talisman appeared in his palm. He raised his hand and threw it out.

boom!

Blue-white lightning descended from the sky, but the giant blue-winged bat sensed the danger in advance. With a flap of its wings, it broke free from the lock and quickly appeared a dozen feet away.

The beast then hovered and flew in the air, no longer easily approaching Zhou Tai.

It was obvious that it was waiting for its owner to come.

Zhou Tai's expression immediately turned serious.

The giant blue-winged bat reacted very skillfully, clearly possessing rich experience in fighting cultivators; its master was probably no ordinary person.

However, now that things have come to this, he can't leave even if he wants to. He can only wait for the master of the Azure Winged Giant Bat to come and make a scene.

While waiting, Zhou Tai first put away the Thunder-Patterned Frog Gold Ingot, and then put the magic talismans that he might need later into the corresponding pockets.

Zhou Tai's outer robe has now been modified, with more than a dozen pockets inside and out, each capable of holding a considerable number of magic talismans.

He usually fills half of his pockets with magic talismans before battle, so he can easily access them at any time.

Just as Zhou Tai was seriously preparing for battle, a melodious and deep flute sound suddenly rang out from the mountains and forests.

He was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction from which the flute music came.

However, nothing could be seen over there; it seemed the flute player was still quite far away.

What does this mean?

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhou Tai hesitated for a moment, and then, just to be on the safe side, took out a "Heart-Clearing Pill" from his storage bag and swallowed it.

After taking the pill, wisps of cool energy rushed to Zhou Tai's head, making his thoughts flow more smoothly and reducing distracting thoughts.

He no longer cared what the piper was thinking, but simply continued to prepare for battle while remaining vigilant and alert, following his own rhythm.

After a while, a mocking voice rang out from the mountains and forests.

"See? I told you your damn seduction tune was useless, but you insisted on showing off. If you had listened to me and gone together, we could be dividing the spoils now!"

Not long after the sound rang out, a man and a woman emerged from the forest and came into Zhou Tai's view.
