Wu Shattered Star River

"Bi Yao!"

Jiu Xuan was startled and flashed to Bi Yao's side, asking, "Are you alright?"

Everyone gathered around. Bi Yao Fairy, with all her magical treasures, was actually so severely injured. Could she have encountered a powerful being?

Bi Yao Fairy swallowed two medicinal pills and, after a while, managed a weak smile, saying, "It's nothing serious!"

Xu Lu, being impatient, quickly asked, "What happened? Did you encounter a powerful assassin? Or did you encounter a powerful demon?"

Bi Yao Fairy explained, "Demons. I was discovered by an Emperor-level demon and chased for a long time before I managed to escape. One of my protective treasures shattered. If I didn't have another one, I wouldn't have been able to return."

"What's the situation on the Nalanda Mountain side?" Jiang Jiuye asked.

"Many immortal beasts, and many demons!"

Bi Yao Fairy said with a solemn expression, "Currently, the three forces each occupy a mountain peak, slowly clearing out the area. The Heavenly Pool in Nalanda Mountain has the most demons."

"No cultivator can get close to the Heavenly Pool right now. I originally wanted to investigate whether there were any Other Shore Flowers inside, but an Emperor-level demon sensed me and chased me all the way."

"Heavenly Pool?"

Lu Xingyu frowned and said, "I seem to have heard my grandfather say that the Heavenly Pool is the center of Nalanda Mountain. If the Other Shore Flower is in the mountain, it's very likely to be in the Heavenly Pool."

Zhao Wuchen asked, "How many experts do the God and Demon races have? How many experts did the Eighth Princess bring with her? How many Emperor-level demons and immortal beasts are there?"

Bi Yao Fairy thought for a moment and said, "Almost all the King-level experts of the God and Demon races are there, about thirty or so each. The Eighth Princess and her group only have less than twenty. I estimate there are at least three or more Emperor-level demons, and I only found two Emperor-level immortal beasts."

Everyone roughly understood the situation. Nalanda Mountain was gathering so many powerful immortal beasts and demons, making it very likely that the Other Shore Flower was there.

"Are we going to Nalanda Mountain?"

Xu Lu was eager to try. The number one treasure of Buddhism, although no one knew what it was for, the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor very much wanted to obtain it, so if there was a chance, they definitely had to fight for it.

Zhao Wuchen hesitated and said, "It's not a problem for us to go, but the key is… should we join forces with the Eighth Princess and her group?"

For this Buddhist Assembly, the three forces each brought about thirty or so King-level experts.

If they didn't join forces, the Eighth Princess and her group would be at a disadvantage, as they only had ten people. Separating would greatly reduce the strength of both sides, making them uncompetitive.

If they joined forces, Jiang Han and Qiu Pi wouldn't trust them, fearing they would stab each other in the back, which was a dilemma.

"Don't join forces!"

Jiang Han immediately said, "If you want to join forces, you can go to the Eighth Princess's side. We'll act on our own."

"Also… once we join forces, I'm afraid the God and Demon races will sense the threat and join forces themselves, which would be even more troublesome."

Everyone fell silent, as what Jiang Han said made sense.

"Let's go there first!"

Jiang Jiuye waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the foot of the mountain first, don't go up yet, and decide how to act after we see the situation."

"Are they going too?"

Jiang Jiuxuan pointed at Jiang Jiuchen and the others. Jiang Jiuchen's eyes were somewhat burning, clearly wanting to go and see. However, Jiang Jiuye waved his hand and said, "They can't go, they should all stay here in the Bitter Sea."

The Eighth Princess and the God and Demon races had all left their Venerable-level experts behind. Nalanda Mountain was so dangerous, would a group of Immortal Venerables be going there to die?

Jiang Han frowned. Jiang Li was a troublesome matter. Taking her would be very dangerous, but not taking her made Jiang Han somewhat uneasy.

Jiang Han hesitated for a moment and said, "How about… you guys go? I'll stay here to protect them?"

"Uh…"

"How can that be!"

"No, Brother Jiang, if you don't go, we'll lose a great help!"

Jiang Jiuye, Zhao Wuchen, and Lu Xingyu immediately objected. What a joke, Jiang Han's combat power was so strong, he alone could fight against hundreds of God race experts. If Jiang Han didn't go, their strength would be greatly reduced, how could they fight with so many God and Demon races?

Fairy Yinghuo thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Han, you guys go, I'll stay. Don't worry, as long as I don't die, Jiang Li won't be in trouble."

Fairy Yinghuo came here to get Bodhi leaves. She had no interest in the Other Shore Flower. Now that Xu Lu had become a Buddhist, and there was one more Bodhi leaf, Fairy Yinghuo was satisfied.

Protecting Jiang Li was equivalent to protecting a Bodhi leaf, so she would naturally not allow Jiang Li to suffer the slightest harm.

Jiang Han thought for a moment and took out a lamp, throwing it to Yinghuo, saying, "Yinghuo, take this lamp for now. If you encounter a dangerous situation, activate the Tianyuan Lamp. Although it doesn't recover much energy, it should be able to withstand it for a while."

"Tianyuan Lamp!"

Everyone's eyes became fiery. This was a famous Hongmeng Heavenly Treasure on the Immortal Artifact List.

If Fairy Yinghuo activated it, her defense would probably be even stronger. Even if an Emperor-level demon came to attack, she could withstand it for ten days and a half, right?

"Okay!"

Fairy Yinghuo had many treasures on her body, but she didn't mind carrying one more, anyway, Jiang Han lent it to her, so she didn't refuse.

"Then let's go!"

Jiang Han was decisive. He looked at Jiang Li and said, "Listen to your Sister Yinghuo!"

Jiang Li nodded obediently and said, "Brother, be careful."

"Go!"

Jiang Jiuye waved his hand, and everyone soared into the air, flying along the mountain, all the way towards Nalanda Mountain. The nine experts were very fast and disappeared into the distance in an instant.

"Let's leave here first!"

Fairy Yinghuo thought for a moment, led everyone away, and prepared to find a hidden place to lie in wait, waiting for Jiang Han and the others to return.

…

Nalanda was not a small mountain, but a huge mountain range composed of countless small mountains.

This mountain range covered tens of millions of miles, and it was shrouded in black mist all year round. From a distance, you couldn't see the mountains, you only felt that the area was all black, and you could smell the strong aura of the underworld from afar.

What the Buddhists call the Asura Hell, in the Immortal Realm is actually called the Underworld, they both mean the same thing.

Jiang Han and the others arrived nearby, not daring to enter the mountain rashly, but secretly wandering at the foot of the mountain to investigate.

Jiang Han saw what was called a Hell Demon.

This was a creature with a very terrifying appearance, with some black-red scales all over its body, its aura was violent and eerie, it had double pupils, with a red light shining inside, and it possessed a kind of soul-stirring magic.

They walked upright, and had huge fleshy wings on their backs, making them very fast. There were also sharp thorns on their spines, shining with a cold light.

"What Hell Demon, in the end, it's just a kind of underworld creature!"

Jiang Han took a few glances and didn't care too much.

Because these Hell Demons were stained with the aura of the underworld, they made people feel particularly uncomfortable and terrifying, but in the end, they were just a special kind of monster.

The combat power of the few demons encountered was not bad, all comparable to Venerable-level, but they were easily killed by Xu Lu, who was walking in front, with a single sword strike.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Walking to the foot of the mountain, they vaguely heard the sound of explosions constantly ringing in the mountains, as well as the screams of demons. It seemed that the three teams in the mountains were constantly clearing out monsters and demons.

"Let them clear out the area for a while first!"

Jiang Han pondered for a while and put forward his own suggestion: "If we go up now, all three parties will secretly be wary of us. We have few martial artists, and we may end up getting nothing and suffering a fierce attack."

"I think we should wait until they have cleared out almost everything and reach the Heavenly Pool. The three forces will definitely fight each other fiercely. Then we can take advantage of the chaos and rush up to snatch from the fire."
