Chapter 124: Demon Slayer, Exorcist Yun Kong!
"Refuse?"
"He actually refused me like this?"
The masked female cultivator heard the response from the white-haired youth.
And she saw the white-haired youth quickly move away from her, leaving her sensing range.
She couldn't help but feel furious, gritting her teeth.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never encountered a cultivator who treated her like this!
Even when refusing fellow disciples, they would do so in the most tactful manner.
"Hmph, it's just a bluff. Without me... none of you can leave this secret realm!"
The masked female cultivator gradually calmed down. She used the power of the talismans to maintain her spiritual consciousness and closed her eyes, waiting for the arrival of the next batch of food.
Su Ping controlled Yun Kong to move away from the other party and had no intention of defeating this mini-boss of the secret realm for now.
He would remember this grudge for now!
And he was prepared to settle the score before the night was over!
This was only the first exploration, and the weapons and equipment brought by the memory illusions were not sufficient. It was difficult to kill the female cultivator with a single strike.
As for the North Star Greedy Wolf Fist...
To truly unleash the power to move mountains with a single punch...
It required continuous consumption of medicine and the enhancement of the body's constitution.
Compared to that, the strength of Exorcist Yun Kong was undoubtedly weaker, and it was not cost-effective to use this move against a Foundation Building cultivator.
At the same time, more importantly, for this exploration, he did not bring any purification elixirs or life-saving elixirs that could easily cause huge trouble.
Now it seemed that he was overly cautious, but it didn't matter. Once the cooldown time was over...
The fully armed new memory illusions would reappear and skillfully arrive at the destination, surprising others!
Therefore, taking advantage of the remaining time, Su Ping became bolder.
He controlled Exorcist Yun Kong to explore the swamp area.
The swamp was indeed full of dangers. It was not just the swamp itself that seemed alive.
There seemed to be various monsters lurking inside, transformed by evil spirits, extending their limbs and whispering to tempt.
Fortunately, their strength was ordinary. With the enhancement of his divine consciousness, Yun Kong was able to easily avoid them one by one.
After wandering around the swamp, he returned to the withered dense forest where he had come from and also took a stroll there.
He didn't find anything new.
But he picked up more than twenty storage bags.
Su Ping took all of them and returned to the giant stone monument on the hillside, digging a small hole and burying them, ready to take them away next time.
Then he sat cross-legged under the giant stone monument and silently waited.
During this period, Su Ping noticed that new cultivators seemed to appear in both the swamp and the dense forest, running out.
After these people noticed the abnormality of the stone monument forest, some of them left directly and rushed to the location of the tomb, obviously to deliver food to the Foundation Building female cultivator.
The other part, those who were heavily influenced by the evil aura, began to sway their bodies and found a place to sit down near a stone monument, then started chanting.
Su Ping understood where these crazy cultivators came from when he saw this scene.
He also vaguely guessed something about the stone monument on the mountaintop.
It seemed that the seal had loosened a long time ago.
Those cultivators should be the evil creatures suppressed by the stone monument, lured here after being confused.
Their purpose should be related to the translucent golden chains on the stone monument.
Perhaps the other party was slowly eroding the sealing power of these golden chains using these small tricks?
Su Ping couldn't find a way to deal with it, so he could only do what he could. Taking advantage of the last bit of time, he gathered all the cultivators in the hillside and buried them in the pit.
He also took their storage bags as a reward to prevent them from aiding the evildoers.
When the duration was over, Exorcist Yun Kong under the giant stone monument turned into starlight and disappeared.
The Foundation Building female cultivator at the entrance of the tomb inexplicably felt a sense of unease.
She also noticed the white-haired youth with some strange abilities from before, but it seemed that he hadn't come for so long.
A trace of worry flashed through her mind.
It's not that I'm worried about the death of the white-haired youth.
But I'm worried that this strange guy might have triggered some strange mechanism that she doesn't know about, causing another anomaly in this secret realm...
If such an accident occurs, it's not a pity that the other party dies. She swears that she will have to annihilate the other party's family after going out to find peace!
Outside the secret realm.
Half a day has passed.
Most of the cultivators in the main hall have disappeared.
Most of them, driven by the idea of taking a chance, rushed in.
They have never been to the secret realm and rely on immortal novels to understand it.
A small number of them gave up at the last moment and chose to withdraw.
The remaining ones are representatives of various factions.
They are waiting for someone to come out of the secret realm so that they can immediately buy the good things in their hands at a high price.
However, so much time has passed and no one has come out, making them inevitably anxious.
On the immortal boat, several Foundation Building cultivators still calmly drank tea and waited for the cannon fodder to explore.
They have rich experience in exploring the secret realm.
They believe that as long as there are enough cannon fodder, there will always be cultivators with enough immortal fate to get good things and run out.
After they learn the specific situation inside the secret realm, they can make targeted preparations to greatly improve their own safety and exploration success rate!
A few minutes later.
A Foundation Building cultivator exclaimed and looked up at the sea level.
He saw a man in a black robe walking briskly on the water.
Although it didn't freeze this time.
But it couldn't escape the eyes of the Foundation Building cultivators.
They were very sure that this black-robed male cultivator was similar in skill to the white-haired youth who entered the secret realm in the morning.
It might be fellow disciples, or disciples taught by the same master.
"It looks similar in cultivation level. Could it be that the younger brother went in and the older brother came out?"
The Foundation Building cultivators stared at each other curiously, and did not stop him either.
Having one more cannon fodder is always a good thing.
Then they watched as this black-robed cultivator walked through the ruins of the Big Dipper Seven Star Sect.
Watching him enter the main hall.
And then they received the report that this black-robed cultivator only observed the main hall and went straight into the secret realm.
Just as reckless as the white-haired youth before!
"Ha! My Demon Hunter, Yun Kong, is back!"
This time, Su Ping found that the Demon Hunter Yun Kong he controlled appeared in the black swamp.
Because of the previous experience, he easily avoided the mud that came out of the swamp.
Then he galloped all the way and picked up the storage bags he saw on the road.
Back at the stone monument, he found the buried place and dug it open, looking at the pit full of storage bags.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Su Ping's mouth.
Mine! All these storage bags are mine now!
After collecting the storage bags, Su Ping checked his equipment.
The white-haired youth without the cloak started to descend the mountain and headed towards the entrance of the tomb.
Along the way, he did not encounter other cultivators.
Obviously, after the wave during the day, there is a serious shortage of cannon fodder cultivators, and it takes some time for them to appear again.
"The light seems to be dimmer."
"The concentration of black mist around is increasing."
"And the slight vibration of the stone monument is stronger than in the morning."
"Everything in this secret realm is changing for the worse..."
"Fortunately, even if it gets worse, I can just run away and it won't have much to do with me!"
The white-haired youth observed the subtle changes around him and approached the tomb once again, where he saw the masked female cultivator.
This time, the other party did not rush to attack and knew that illusion techniques were useless, so she did not use the precious bead.
"You agreed to my request?" she asked.
"Hehehe, I knew it. After going around, you must have realized that we can't leave this secret realm, right?" the masked female cultivator said with narrowed eyes, feeling pleased.
However, the white-haired youth shook his head slightly.
"Your proposal is good, but I still choose to refuse," he said.
"As for coming here, I was simply curious about how three Foundation Building cultivators like you ended up like this," he continued.
The masked female cultivator's gaze sharpened, and she stared at the white-haired youth fiercely.
"You still have the mood to care about that!" she exclaimed.
"It seems you're still not giving up."
"You have no idea what is sealed inside here!" she said.
The masked female cultivator seemed to recall a terrifying memory and trembled.
"If I had known that this place was actually a seal for that kind of monster, I would never have followed!" she said.
"That kind of monster?" Su Ping asked, even more curious.
"I don't know what it is!" the masked female cultivator replied unexpectedly, yet it made sense.
"The three of us Foundation Building cultivators only reached the second underground floor... and we heard strange whispers in our ears," she explained.
"Then we realized that this tomb was a place sealed by some kind of monster."
"But it was too late, we had already entered the range of the monster's curse."
"Except for me, the other two Foundation Building cultivators turned into evil demons and occupied the first and second underground floors. If you want to go down, you will encounter them."
"Although they are not as immortal as the evil spirits, they still retain the strength of Foundation Building cultivators and can be considered large-scale demonic beasts of the same realm!"
"So, give up!"
"With your strength, you can't even pass the first floor!"
"Even if you manage to get through, you will be cursed and become an evil demon on the second floor..."
"..." Su Ping listened and felt somewhat disappointed. He had thought he would learn more information.
But it didn't matter, this trip was still worthwhile with these gains.
"Ah, forget it... By the way, do you have a storage bag?" he asked.
"Huh?" The masked female cultivator was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "I don't lack spirit stones, so naturally, I use a storage spirit tool..."
"You!" The masked female cultivator's words were cut off as she suddenly widened her eyes, witnessing an incredible scene.
Beside and above the white-haired youth, a dozen foxes emitting purple light suddenly appeared.
These twelve foxes, formed by thunder, stared coldly at her, giving her a feeling of facing a natural enemy, making her shiver in fear!
Su Ping's heart stirred.
The twelve Thunderlight Foxes summoned by the Thunderlight Fox Talisman through the Cloud Realm all raised their heads and let out a roar.
Instantly, without giving the masked female cultivator any time to beg for mercy or ask what was happening, the most powerful attack from the twelve Thunderlight Foxes summoned a barrage of heavenly thunder.
As a result, the duration of the Thunderlight Foxes was greatly reduced.
These heavenly thunders bombarded the masked female cultivator.
She instinctively tried to defend herself with her two arms on her back, but the heavenly thunder directly struck and annihilated each other.
Under the subsequent thunder, various protective spiritual lights couldn't withstand even a fraction of a second and shattered one after another. The masked female cultivator couldn't even complete her miserable scream before being directly blasted into ashes!
Only a few remnants of evil spirits were left behind at the original spot.
Obviously, these thunderbolts not only destroyed the physical body of the masked female cultivator, but also destroyed the curse and evil spirits within her.
The twelve strikes were equivalent to a life-or-death attack at the early stage of Foundation Building. In addition to restraining demons with their beautiful and tragic lightning, their power clearly exceeded expectations.
However, this bit of waste was not important. The key was to ensure that everything went smoothly!
"Hmm?"
The white-haired youth, accompanied by the slightly weakened aura of the twelve foxes made of lightning, slowly approached the ashes.
Then he saw that there was still a gray spirit pearl hidden in the ashes.
At the same time, a dark red necklace was left behind.
Su Ping controlled the cloud and picked them up.
Upon probing with his divine sense, Su Ping discovered that the dark red necklace should be the storage spirit tool mentioned by the female cultivator at the Foundation Building stage. However, unlike a storage bag, this thing couldn't be opened for a while.
As for the gray spirit pearl, Su Ping discovered that it contained the last bit of information left behind by the female cultivator at the Foundation Building stage.
After his divine sense made contact, Su Ping heard the desperate roar of the female cultivator's final message:
"You're finished, you're doomed! Your family, your sect, everything is finished!"
"My master will find everyone related to you, and you will all become part of my master's Ten Thousand Soul Banner!"
"Hmph!"
Su Ping didn't care about these repetitive threats at all:
"The demon slayer, the exorcist Yun Kong!"
"As for your so-called master, let them come if they dare!"
Su Ping remained calm in his heart and controlled the cloud to pick up the storage bags around the tomb and put them away properly.
Then he took a deep look at the gate of the tomb.
After that, he took a deep breath.
The white-haired youth took out a teleportation talisman and directly teleported back to the vicinity of the Golden Sword City in the coastal area!
There was a literary bird left there as a teleportation marker, allowing the memory illusion to be directly transmitted.
This way, if there were any problems, the other party would only go to the Golden Sword City first and wouldn't be able to find trouble with his true body.
Su Ping had Yun Kong separate the belongings of the female cultivator at the Foundation Building stage from the other storage bags and buried them in different locations.
He also had the literary bird and elite mice keep a close watch day and night to prevent anyone from stumbling upon them.
As for Su Ping's true body, he controlled the weather balloon and began to return.
Su Ping planned to first reap and digest the benefits of this trip before considering whether or not to explore the secrets hidden in the tomb on the North Star Island.
At the same time, in the ancestral hall of a large cultivation family, cries of mourning could be heard.
Someone discovered that the soul lamp of an elder suddenly went out!
Immediately, chaos ensued.
The family patriarch quickly informed the master of the elder in the main peak.
Not long after, at the main peak of the Red Kite Immortal Sect, in a cave dwelling halfway up the mountain, a muscular old man with sideburns similar to Sha Wujing suddenly woke up and saw the words appearing on the wall.
He learned that his most beloved disciple's soul lamp had actually been extinguished!
He couldn't help but become furious.
But he was also frustrated because he was restricted to the main peak and couldn't leave at all!
As for that secret realm... his other disciples were either similarly unable to leave or their cultivation was inferior to that of his little disciple. Even if they went, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
