“How did junior sister and fellow Daoist Lin meet, what danger did you encounter?” After ending the greetings with Lin Xuan, Taibai Sword Immortal turned his head curiously.

Ouyang Qin hesitated for a moment, she was just about to speak when suddenly, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Taibai Sword Immortal looked up thoughtfully as a large ray of light appeared on the horizon.

Less than a minute later.

Dozens of cultivators have landed, headed by Master Feng Lei of Yixian Valley and the pair of cultivators from Thunder Cloud Mountain.

On the other side, the Demonic Cultivators also flew over unceremoniously. The Blood Demon Ancestor and the Hundred Poison Boy were among them.

Seeing the mess in front of them, a hint of surprise flashed across everyone’s faces.

Soon after, both sides of the Righteous and Demonic set their eyes on Ouyang Qin, Zhang Taibai, and Lin Xuan. Obviously, the three of them were the first to come over, and this matter was very likely to be related to them.

“Haha, Fairy Ouyang, have you found any news on the Sky Fiend Demon Lord?” The Blood Demon Ancestor’s strange laughter passed over.

Ouyang Qin’s expression was cold, but before she spoke, Master Feng Lei couldn’t help but sneer, “Even if we found out, do you think we’d share it with you?”

“Is that so?” The Blood Demon Ancestor raised his hand, and a crimson light shot out.

“Old demon, how dare you?”

Master Feng Lei was shocked and angry. In terms of strength, the Righteous Path was obviously a little stronger. He did not expect the other party to disagree and daring to act like that.

He opened his mouth and let out a ball of thunder, dissolving the beam of light.

Then, with a beckoning of his hand, two flying swords, one blue and the other red, were taken out.

“Wait!” Then at this moment, the Blood Demon Ancestor made a gesture of truce.

Master Feng Lei’s hand was already lifted up high, but he didn’t attack, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face, “Old demon. What do you want? “

“Hmph, I wanted to teach you a lesson and put you in your place. I was just trying to make you understand something.”

“What?” Master Feng Lie suppressed his anger as the strength of this Blood Demon Ancestor was indeed superior to that of his.

“I will show you two paths now. Either tell us the news about the Sky Fiend Demon Lord so that we will earn the ownership of the Heavenly Dust Pill according to our abilities and strength, or you can refrain from that, then both of us fight right here, and the Sky Fiend Demon Lord escapes. In short, this Heavenly Dust Pill, you can say goodbye to enjoying it alone. “

“How shameless of you. The news on the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was clearly discovered by us first,” The female Core Formation Stage expert of Thunder Cloud Mountain yelled angrily.

“Shameless?” The crisp laughter of the Hundred Poison Boy cut through the air, “Mrs. Cheng, you are also a cultivator of the Core Formation Stage. Why do you say such naive words? This Cultivation World is a place where only the powerful can speak. The Demonic Path is like this, and so is the Righteous. May I ask Mrs. Cheng, when have you ever told a low-level cultivator?”

The woman surnamed Cheng was taken aback. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but was left speechless.

“Hey, Hundred Poison Boy, Blood Demon Ancestor, if you really fight, do you think you have a chance of winning?” Zhang Taibai looked disdainful.

When the Blood Demon Ancestor heard this, he was not angry but delighted. Although the other party had taken refuge in the Extreme Demon Cave, he still had to stay undercover in Blue Cloud Mountain. This kind of reaction was very good.

On the other hand, he could quietly ask Taibai Sword Immortal about the news on the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, but it would easily cause suspicion. But now was not the time to expose this dark chess piece.

“Yes, the strength of your Big Three is indeed a little stronger, but although we can’t beat you. It’s no problem for us dragging you down. How about it, it’s not a big deal. Although the Sky Fiend Demon Lord obtained it, at least he’s still a Demonic Cultivator.” The Blood Demon Ancestor said with a strange smile.

In the Righteous Path, as the people listened, their expressions changed. They were just about to discuss it using voice transmission, when Ouyang Qin suddenly said, “Okay, I agree.”

“Junior sister!”

“Fairy Ouyang!”

“You can’t!”

Several Core Formation Stage Expert’s expressions had changed, and they asked her to stop one after another. For them, knowing the news on the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was equivalent to seizing the opportunity and gaining a greater grasp on the Heavenly Dust Pill. Naturally, they were not willing to let those Demonic Cultivators take advantage of it. Otherwise, all those benefits would be forgotten.

“Hmph”, the person who understood the current affairs was a handsome man, “Fairy Ouyang is right in doing this. Do you really hope that our two sides would fight each other, and let the Sky Fiend Demon Lord benefit?”

Hearing this, the few Core Formation Stage experts in the Righteous Path faced each other for a long time, sighed, and stopped talking.

After all, if both sides knew the news, each would have a chance in grabbing the Heavenly Dust Pill. But if the Demonic Cultivators became angry and shamelessly dragged them here, there would be no hope.

Weighing the pros and cons, the people in the Righteous Path were naturally unwilling to see such an ending.

Seeing the two sides fighting, Lin Xuan stood on the side, with his expression as if it had nothing to do with him, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

“Okay, don’t quarrel, listen to what Fairy Ouyang has to say, if you drag it much longer, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord would escape further away.”

As soon as Master Feng Lie said this, The cultivators at the present immediately quieted down. Nearly a hundred eyes glanced at the beautiful woman in front of them.

Ouyang Qin’s lips slightly opened and she told them her past experience. Of course, the part where she and Lin Xuan were chased by the Demon Lord after his successful body possession, and the part where they were forced to hide together in an ambiguous pose was not mentioned.

“What, the Red-eyed Ghost’s body was seized by the Sky Fiend Demon Lord?”

Not to mention the reactions of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, all the Core Formation stage experts were stunned, the Red-eyed Ghost has been famous for hundreds of years, and has great Spiritual Powers and an excellent Demonic Art. He was as well known as the Taibai Sword Immortal. It wasn’t easy to defeat him, but with only his Soul, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord brought him down, which is an act of defying the heavens. How can it be so easy?

It was really hard for everyone to accept, but after sweeping their Spiritual Sense to the surroundings, although it has been a long time, the figure of the Red-eyed Ghost was still not seen. It was obviously a bad sign.

“It seems that we underestimated the Sky Fiend Demon Lord!” Master Feng Lei had a lingering fear, “Fairy Ouyang, what did you say earlier, can the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s Soul transform into something similar to a Nascent Soul?”

The other cultivators of the two paths also showed solemn expressions, even though they clearly knew that the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was not a monster of the Nascent Soul Stage, this matter was still too weird.

“It’s true,” Ouyang Qin nodded and repeated the scene again.

As everyone listened, they were a little dazed.

“What are you afraid of? The Sky Fiend Demon Lord is only one person, and he’s not yet entered the Nascent Soul Stage. With so many of us, can he really fight us alone!?” After a while, it was the woman with the surname Cheng who spoke first.

“Fellow Daoist is right.” Taibai Sword Immortal nodded, “We can’t let the Heavenly Dust Pill fall into this person’s hands.”

Originally, after listening to the monstrous magical powers of the Demon Lord, even the Core Formation Stage experts, most of them had a look of fear on their faces. But when the Heavenly Dust Pill was mentioned, their expressions suddenly became fanatical.

The Blood Demon Ancestor and the Hundred Poison Boy looked at each other, one turned into a poisonous cloud, and the other a blood mist, chasing in the direction where the Sky Fiend Demon Lord disappeared.

“Not good, the two old guys wanted to have a head start!” Master Feng Lei’s expression changed.

“Hmph, the two old demons want to take the lead, I am afraid it won’t be easy.” The woman surnamed Cheng was not in a hurry. There were only two Demonic Dao Core Formation Stage experts left, but there were four on their side.

“What Mrs. Cheng said is quite true, but the Demonic Cultivators have always been insidious and cunning, we can’t be too careless, let’s go!” Taibai Sword Immortal’s expression was dignified. Looking back, he told the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, “You don’t need to go.”

“Yes, Uncle Master!”

Now that they’ve found traces of the Demon Lord, the mission of the Foundation Establishment cultivators was over, after all, they couldn’t fight this battle.

“Let’s go!”

The several Core Formation Stage experts took out their own Magic Artifacts and disappeared at an astonishing speed.

“You…”Ouyang Qin did not leave with her companions, but stayed at the end and glanced at Lin Xuan, “What are your plans?”

“I really want the Heavenly Dust Pill, but with my cultivation base, I am afraid I’d just end up killing myself by going,” Lin Xuan smiled freely.

“If only you could see it,” Ouyang Qin was slightly awkward. After all, tracing it to its source, the Heavenly Dust Pill came from Spirit Pill Mountain!

“This trip is extremely dangerous, you should be careful.”

“Well, thank you, I understand. See you later.”

With a wave of Ouyang Qin’s hand, a leaf-shaped Magic Artifact was retrieved by her, and she was about to fly away.

“Wait!”

“Something else you want to tell me?”

“This…” Lin Xuan pulled out a small bottle from his sleeve, “There are Spirit Replenishing Pills inside. Although it can’t immediately fill up one’s Spiritual Qi after taking it, the speed of recovery is ten times faster than a Spirit Stone. It’s my gift to you.”

“A pill for quick replenishment of Spiritual Qi?” Even a Core Formation Stage expert would be moved and would take it with great joy.

Then Ouyang Qin no longer hesitated, turned into a light, and disappeared into the sky.

Looking at her back, Lin Xuan’s mouth showed a slight smile. How could he really give up on the Heavenly Dust Pill? After all, he wanted to go farther on the path of Immortal Cultivation, with his own Innate talent, how can he give up such a heaven-defying Spirit Pill?

Just now, he was planning to advance along one path, but secretly going along another.

If one wanted to grab food from the mouths of so many masters of the two paths, one couldn’t do it recklessly. One must use their brain.
