Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

"Could it be because of this secret realm?" Yin You rubbed his chin.

"Are you familiar with this secret place of heaven and earth?"

Gu Le said, "This is a secret world of earth level that is managed by the academy, called 'Flame Pearl Realm'."

He guessed Yin You's thoughts and shook his head. "Except for the Chilian Duel, which is held at the Chilian Dojo, the venues for the Chilian Duel are decided by the academy's supreme elders. After the secret realm of heaven and earth is chosen, countless restrictions will be set up, such as light curtains for viewing from a distance, teleportation arrays for sending disciples away, and protection mechanisms, etc. Therefore, this secret realm of heaven and earth should be the least likely to have problems."

Decided by the Supreme Elder?

A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Yin You's mind, and he had some guesses.

He thought to himself, "Could this be related to demons?"

Because he didn't know whether Gu Le, Gu Kang and others knew that there were demons lurking in the academy, he did not tell anyone about his guess.

Just as everyone was discussing, a dark pillar of light suddenly rose up in the distance, piercing through the sky and earth, emitting a strange and ominous aura.

"Such a strong dark atmosphere..."

"That direction is the Flame God Valley, the core area of ​​the Flame Pearl Realm!"

"go!"

Yin You and others immediately set off and headed towards the direction of the dark light column.

Somewhere on soft grass.

Mu Bai sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the dark pillar of light in the sky:

"Wow... I finally fell asleep, but I was woken up again."

She stood up shakily and walked slowly towards the direction of the dark light column.

On a battlefield where a battle had just ended, there were hundreds of cultivators who had lost their combat effectiveness. Most of them were cultivators in the sixth and seventh realms, and there were even a few cultivators at the peak of the seventh realm.

Without exception, they all had exhausted their spiritual energy and lay on the ground covered in wounds, unable to move.

The only two figures standing looked towards the dark pillar of light that suddenly rose from the horizon.

"The breath of a demon." One of the girls in black holding a long knife said lightly.

Another black-robed girl with grey hair and white eyes summoned a long sword and flew towards the direction of the dark light column:

"Let's go and meet up with Uncle Master."

Since the dark pillar of light rose, countless cultivators noticed something unusual and stood up and rushed towards the direction of the light pillar.

And where the dark pillar of light rose, in the Flame God Valley, the core area of ​​the Flame Pearl Realm, the red valley that was originally burning with blazing flames had long since extinguished its flames and turned into a pitch-black color.

A monk in armor stood on a high platform in the center of the Flame God Valley. He raised his armor-wrapped arm and punched the spiritual shield in front of him to pieces, then took out a golden and red bead from it.

He pinched the golden red bead between two fingers and held it in front of him to examine it carefully:

"Is this the 'Flame God Pearl' that is produced only once every thousand years in the Flame Pearl Realm?"

After looking for a while, the armored monk put the beads into the storage ring and turned to look at the audience.

There were countless figures standing beneath the platform. They all wore masks and black robes, exuding a strange and ominous aura.

Even so, human figures continued to emerge from the dark light column.

The armored monk's voice pierced through the armor and resounded throughout the Flame God Valley:

"Go ahead and kill all the monks you see!"

Countless figures in the audience turned into black mud and headed out of the Flame God Valley.

Chapter 52: Stalemate

Yin You and others were on their way to Yanshen Valley.

At a certain moment, Yin You suddenly stopped his sword-controlling technique and fell to the ground with a serious expression:

"Be careful."

Everyone stopped and followed him down, vaguely aware of the approaching danger.

Ji Jiu sniffed it, his face showing a hint of disgust: "What an evil smell."

As soon as she finished speaking, a stream of black mud suddenly shot towards her.

Ji Jiu tilted his head slightly to avoid the attack, and looked towards the place where the attack came from, with a flash of blood in his eyes.

Bang!

Suddenly, an explosion sounded in a place that was originally empty.

Countless black muds exploded.

But the next moment, the black mud gathered again and turned into a demon shadow wearing a mask and a black robe.

At the same time, countless black shadows flashed around the crowd and transformed into monsters, surrounding everyone.

"Death to the demon!"

The two sides immediately went to war.

Gu Kangti rushed into the group of demons with his scimitar, swinging it wantonly. Seeing this, Gu Le hurriedly followed.

The stones and twigs rushed towards the other group of demons.

Ji Jiu stretched out his hand, and blood spiritual energy gushed out, shrinking and condensing into a blood-colored spear.

She also rushed out with a gun.

Yin You stood where he was, constantly performing magic to support everyone.

He observed the battlefield and found that these demons seemed to have lost their minds and only knew how to attack madly, without any way of avoiding the attacks of the crowd.

Their bodies are not that strong, and even stone fists can penetrate them.

But after their bodies shattered into black mud, they would regain their human form and continue fighting in just a few breaths, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

"Damn it, are these demons immortal?"

Gu Kang roared, and his attack became more fierce.

But no matter how he chopped, these monsters would return to their original shape after being cut into dozens of pieces and turned into black mud.

Gu Le looked at his crazy attack and had some guesses in his mind.

"Thousands of sword shadows."

Gu Le muttered to himself, and the long sword in his hand turned into a phantom. In just a few breaths, he swung out hundreds of swords, chopping a demon into countless black mud.

The black mud instinctively wanted to gather again into a human form, but after struggling for a long time, it failed to gather together and finally died completely.

Gu Le was delighted when he saw this and quickly told others about the situation.

Yin You also saw the scene of Gu Le's attack. After thinking for a moment, he whispered:

"Fen Ji."

A deep red flame suddenly appeared among the group of demons. The demons screamed and turned into black mud to try to escape, but the deep red flame was like a thorn in the flesh. No matter how the black mud differentiated, the flame could not be extinguished until the black mud was burned to ashes.

“Sure enough, even though I haven’t completely refined the Heavenly Heart Gathering Spiritual Fire, after two months of continuous refining, my fire spirit energy has already taken on the characteristics of divine fire, and this divine fire is the nemesis of these demons.”

A ball of crimson flame rose from Yin You's fingertips, and he muttered to himself.

He took a deep breath, and deep red fire energy emanated from his body, surrounding him.

"A prairie fire."

boom!

The fire spirit on his body scattered, bypassing Ji Jiu and others, and went towards the demons around them.

“Roar, roar, roar!!!”

Waves of shrill and strange screams came from the mouths of the demons, and they turned into black mud one after another, and finally turned into ashes in the flames.

The group of demons were completely wiped out, and everyone looked at Yin You in shock.

"Fellow Daoist Yin You, you are also good at fire magic." Ji Jiu said in surprise.

Gu Le looked shocked: "Such a powerful spell..."

Yin You said nothing more, and flew up on his sword again, heading towards the Flame God Valley:

"It's an emergency, go!"

In the distance, the dark column of light that penetrated the sky and earth became deeper and deeper.

……

At this time, there was chaos in the Flame God Valley.

Hundreds of monks attacked the Flame God Valley and fought with the demons.

"Mo Xuan! As a human cultivator, why do you associate with demons!" A cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm with a powerful aura killed several demons with one blow, looked up at the platform and roared.

His true identity was none other than Mo Xuan, the armored monk ranked fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, standing on the central platform, watching the fighting below with cold eyes.

The four demons at the eighth level of cultivation received the order and moved closer to the peak seventh level cultivator who had just spoken.

"what!"

Soon, under the siege of four demons of the eighth realm, the cultivator screamed and was swallowed by the black mud.

The cultivation levels of these hundreds of cultivators were all above the sixth realm, and there were even cultivators in the eighth realm. They were originally nearby, which was why they were able to rush to the Flame God Valley so quickly and catch the armored cultivators off guard.

They learned the weaknesses of the demons during the battle and almost wiped them out at one point.

But demons continued to emerge from the dark light column and join the battlefield, and the demons became stronger and stronger, from the fifth and sixth realms at the beginning, to the seventh realm later, and even occasionally there were demons from the eighth realm emerging.

"No, we will all die if this continues."

An eighth-level cultivator gritted his teeth and sent a telepathic message to the cultivators present:

"My fellow Taoists, do your best to hold back the demon. Those Taoists who are above the peak of the seventh realm, join me in attacking and killing Mo Xuan!"

Everyone burst out with spiritual energy, and for a moment the demon was beaten so hard that it couldn't fight back.

The eighth-level cultivator broke out of the encirclement of demons, stepped onto the platform, and attacked Mo Xuan.

At the same time, three other eighth-level cultivators also went up to the platform and attacked Mo Xuan together.

Facing the siege of four eighth-level cultivators, Mo Xuan did not react at all, as if he had not yet recovered from his daze.

"Die, you demonic spy!" The eighth-level cultivator who took the first step sneered.

boom!

The attacks of the four people hit Mo Xuan.

Before the four could show any joy, a violent and huge black aura suddenly burst out from Mo Xuan's armor, pushing the four people away.

"This is……"

"Late eighth realm..." An eighth realm cultivator spoke with difficulty.

"Ha ha……"

Mo Xuan's body was burning with dark fire, and he said calmly: "Let me show you the power of the demon."

He raised his arm and a dark light gushed out.

"puff……"

An eighth-level cultivator was knocked off the platform by the blow before he could react, and was surrounded by demons.

Fortunately, the monks nearby reacted in time and rescued him, which saved his life.

Facing the vigilance of the remaining three people, Mo Xuan laughed:

"How is it? This is the power of the Heavenly Demon, which has given me the strength of the late eighth realm."

"If you are willing to surrender to the Heavenly Demon, you will also be blessed by the Heavenly Demon and gain powerful strength."

"I bother!"
