I am the snake demon!

Chapter 120 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"Is it moving?"

Bai Xuan straightened up, a subtle expression appearing in his eyes.

That fragment was hidden beneath hundreds of feet of magma.

He possesses powerful divine sense, which is why he was able to find it.

But the others don't have his powerful divine sense, so how could they find him?

Moreover, that thing was buried a hundred feet below the lava, and with his skills, he could retrieve it without anyone noticing. But if anyone else were to retrieve it, it would inevitably alert Hidden Sword Manor. Although Qiu Linyuan's strength was only at the fourth-class level, he was already a top-tier figure in the martial arts world.

Besides, if they can gang up on each other, who's going to fight one-on-one?

The art of warfare lies in overwhelming the weak with superior numbers.

The protective formation of Hidden Sword Manor was activated, and nearly a thousand people rushed forward. There were few in the world who could defeat them.

So who did it, and how did they figure out this thing was something special?

Bai Xuan rolled his eyes, lay back down on the bed, and then his spirit left his body, passing through the plum garden and heading straight for the Hidden Sword Manor.

At this moment, in the underground palace of Hidden Sword Manor, all the swordsmiths had fallen unconscious, except for one man in black standing before the lava, reaching out...

Sensing the intense heat of the magma in his hands, he exclaimed joyfully, "That's right! Such domineering yet pure power is definitely a relic of immortals and Buddhas. For so many years, the swords of Hidden Sword Manor have possessed spirits, relying on this aura of immortals and Buddhas. But now, it should belong to me!"

The man in black had a solemn expression. He formed a complex Daoist hand seal with his hands and chanted an obscure incantation. A completely black Bagua plate flew out from his arms. A huge Bagua diagram condensed, and eight special array seals formed, each suppressing the eight directions. An aura of ancient majesty flowed around him.

Immediately afterwards, the eight array seals split apart and suddenly condensed into sixty-four array seals.

In the Eight Trigrams, the Zhen position burst forth with a dazzling light.

A deafening roar followed, a burst of dazzling lightning flashed, and terrifying bolts of lightning struck the magma, instantly causing the magma, which had been calm for many years, to surge and roar like an angry dragon.

However, the man in black didn't care at all; his only exposed eyes were filled with fanaticism.

That's right, that's the power.

Treasures left by immortals and Buddhas.

If I could get it, I could move up a rank instead of sixth.

Thunder roared, and lava churned.

Before long, a golden light suddenly flew straight out from the depths of the magma and entered the underground palace. In an instant, thousands of golden lights emerged, and the man in black had to close his eyes briefly.

Even outside the underground palace, the sudden burst of golden light could be seen, leaving the people of Hidden Sword Manor astonished.

Meanwhile, Qiu Linyuan, the head of Cangjian Manor, was in the courtyard, swinging on a swing with his wife.

"Madam, should we take down all these people from Mingyue Palace directly?" Qiu Linyuan asked.

Just as the sword appreciation event was ending, people from the Bright Moon Palace came to seek refuge with Mo Lichun that afternoon.

"No, let's appease them first and talk about it after we meet the Prince tomorrow. Besides, the people who came are not right. It's just my junior sister Han Baozhu and her two disciples. Their strength is far from enough to deal with the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. These people are probably just a decoy to drag me into this mess, but the real people in charge haven't arrived yet." Mo Lichun shook his head, a sigh appearing on his face.

In the world of demons, where deceit and treachery abound, Han Baozhu is one of her few close friends.

However, after many years apart, they came to harm her because of the Bright Moon Palace.

She made a mistake and missed the sword appreciation event. She wanted to ask her senior sister to make an exception for her disciple and request a sword for him.

If she hadn't known beforehand that the people from Mingyue Palace were planning to take action, she would have really thought it was her junior sister who had come.

After all, giving two swords to a fellow disciple is no big deal.

Even without her connection, if someone from the Bright Moon Palace came to ask for a sword, the Hidden Sword Manor would forge it as long as they could afford the price.

Swordsmiths don't discriminate against their clients.

Of course, members of the demonic sect usually don't show up in person; they mostly entrust others to do so.

"Perhaps Junior Sister Han herself was also being used without her knowledge. The person behind the scenes just wanted to use this relationship to drag you down. Junior Sister Han's ignorance doesn't affect the overall situation," Qiu Linyuan comforted his wife while holding her.

Hearing her husband's comforting words, Mo Lichun was overjoyed, as if she had eaten honey, and said, "That's right, I hope she really doesn't know anything, so that she can still keep her life."

Although they were an old married couple, they were still very much in love.

However, this sweet moment did not last long. The two sensed the aura emanating from the underground palace. Their expressions changed, and they immediately took to the air, heading straight for the underground palace.

With a flash, he leaped to the entrance of the underground palace, where he saw the palace radiating golden light.

"My lord, what treasures are in the underground palace?" Mo Lichun asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either. Apart from the magma that can imbue the sword with spirituality, this underground palace has no other special features." Qiu Linyuan shook his head slightly, then went straight into the underground palace, the reason for which was unknown.

But the underground palace was the foundation of his Hidden Sword Manor, and he absolutely could not allow it to be lost.

He also wanted to see who had the audacity to cause trouble at his Hidden Sword Manor!

Mo Lichun followed closely behind, feeling somewhat worried that they were from the Bright Moon Palace. If so, the Hidden Sword Manor and the Bright Moon Palace would be doomed.

stop.

The two, one after the other, their bodies blurred into afterimages as they entered the underground palace.

At this moment, the golden light gradually dissipated, revealing its true form.

It was a fragment of an ancient bronze mirror, about the size of a palm. The outer frame had distinct patterns, while the main body was the mirror itself, clearly depicting a human face. At this moment, it was flashing with electric light, exuding a vast and majestic aura.

"My darling!"

Upon seeing this item, the man in black was overjoyed and reached out to snatch it.

"stop!"

Qiu Linyuan roared, his sword energy surging, and eight flying swords shot out like meteors. The magma boiled and a huge wave swept towards the man in black.

Although he didn't know what the ancient mirror was, the treasure that came out of the magma of his Hidden Sword Manor naturally belonged to their Hidden Sword Manor.

Moreover, this man in black sneaked into Hidden Sword Manor and knocked out all the swordsmiths; he is definitely not a good person. This treasure must not fall into his hands.

Mo Lichun followed closely behind, striking out with his palm. The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged and moved, as if the sky was pressing down.

As the former Moon Princess of the Moon Palace's Night Light lineage, if she hadn't married, she would now be the one in power within the Night Light lineage, and her cultivation would naturally have reached the Heavenly Realm.

The two joined forces and unleashed a devastating attack, causing rocks to crumble and magma to boil.

However, faced with this astonishing attack, the man in black showed no sign of panic. He channeled his true energy into the compass, and his aura changed, becoming ethereal and otherworldly, like clouds on the horizon.

The sword energy and palm wind swept over the man in black with overwhelming force, yet they passed right through his body. The man in black was unharmed and steadily caught the fragment of the ancient mirror.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Linyuan and Mo Lichun both paled and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Cultivation in the world is divided into the Martial Way and the Heavenly Way.

Martial artists cultivate martial arts, but there are also Buddhists and Taoists who comprehend the Way of Heaven and practice Taoist arts and supernatural powers.

In terms of power, these Taoist techniques are not as powerful as martial arts moves, and in most cases, they are even less powerful than martial arts combat techniques.

After all, martial arts are all about killing and fighting. If you can't even beat others in killing and fighting, how can you stand in the world?

However, in terms of the bizarre, Taoist arts far surpass ordinary martial arts.

It was so miraculous that it could almost be called a divine power.

However, Taoist arts are difficult to cultivate.

Those who can cultivate to such a level are definitely not unknown individuals.

"Master Qiu, what you're saying is funny. I've been hiding my identity like this because I don't want anyone to know who I am."

"But don't worry, Master Qiu, I had no intention of offending Hidden Sword Manor. Apart from this fragment, I didn't take anything from your Hidden Sword Manor, nor did I kill anyone. Farewell," the man in black laughed.

"This underground palace only has one entrance, do you think you can get out?" Qiu Linyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in black with murderous intent.

He took nothing but a fragment of an ancient mirror, which was even more valuable than many of the famous swords of the Hidden Sword Manor. This shows that the mirror was far more valuable than he had imagined, and could even be considered the most precious treasure of the Hidden Sword Manor.

If it were taken away like this, he would have been the master of the manor for nothing!

Mo Lichun narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes, and the power of moonlight surged around him. He had the same thought as Qiu Linyuan.

At Hidden Sword Manor, the two of them, when they joined forces, were unmatched by most in the world.

"Of course, if I want to leave, no one in this world can stop me."

The man in black smiled confidently, and then his body vanished into thin air before Qiu Linyuan and his wife's eyes, leaving only a few butterfly phantoms. Finally, the butterflies also disappeared into thin air.

"The Escape of the Butterfly Dream!"

Qiu Linyuan and his wife's expressions changed again. It was Taoist magic again. Could it be a reclusive master from one of the three sects?

Or perhaps it's those guys from the Xiaoyao Sect who went astray in their study of Taoist arts and turned into masters of wicked arts.

At this moment, since neither of them knew any magic, there was nothing they could do but use a clumsy method: searching the entire village.

As they gave the order, a figure in black appeared out of thin air thirty feet outside the underground palace. The man in black leaped swiftly and disappeared into the night in a few flashes.

Then, without anyone noticing, they arrived at the Tianji Pavilion branch in the city, changed out of their night clothes, took out the fragment of the ancient mirror, and said with satisfaction, "You've finally fallen into my hands."

"Yes, what a treasure! It's no wonder that the all-knowing scholar of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion sneaked into Hidden Sword Manor in the dead of night to steal his friend's treasure. But I wonder what price it will fetch once this news gets out."

However, at that moment, a mocking voice rang out from behind Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng trembled as if struck by lightning, his face instantly turning deathly pale. He looked around warily and shouted, "Who's there?"

Did you follow him all the way?

He even personally brought the other party back to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

But how is that possible?

How could there be such a powerful person in this world?
