Xia Chenqing nodded, "Yes, after a spiritual beast or a vicious beast enters the complete stage, it will survive a thunder tribulation. If the tribulation is successful, it can choose to transform into a human body and practice. This is the origin of demon cultivation."
"However, not all demon cultivators are cruel and bloodthirsty. Only demon cultivators who improve their cultivation by devouring human flesh and blood will have such a foul smell in their blood."
Qin Guang frowned and asked, "But why are there demon cultivators here?"
Ying Ling coughed lightly, unwilling to let Xia Chenqing stand out alone, so he took the initiative to explain: "It is rumored that Venerable Wei Yan hates evil as much as enemies. Whenever he encounters demon cultivators, evil cultivators and demonic cultivators who harm the common people, he will annihilate his body and kill them.
His soul is suppressed in his spiritual weapon, the Soul Locking Tower, and will never be reincarnated!"
After hearing this, everyone admired Venerable Wei Yan's character.
Only Jiang Deng frowned slightly, keenly aware that something was wrong.
If the evil heretics who cause harm to the common people can be killed directly, why bother to lock their souls in the soul-locking tower and never be reincarnated?
Isn’t this motivation a bit strange...
"Where is the injured demon cultivator?"
Everyone quickly looked up and down, left and right, but did not find any demonic cultivators in the Soul Locking Tower.
Shi Zihang asked with a trembling voice: "Do you think... could this be the demon cultivator?"
Looking in the direction Shi Zihang pointed, everyone's eyes fell on the vines above their heads.
Obviously, the environment inside the Soul Locking Tower is very harsh, and the outside world is also a desert with no water source.
But the stems of these vines are surprisingly thick, and the leaves are surprisingly green. They are densely entangled on the walls and the ground, completely covering the road ahead, and they don't look right no matter how you look at them.
Jiang Zi frowned and said, "These vines do look a bit like the black shadow that attacked us just now. Is it really a demon cultivator?"
"What's the ink mark on? You'll know if you try it."
Jiang Deng didn't bother to listen to the discussion anymore, so he walked directly to the wall closest to her, held the heavy light sword in his hand, and swiped hard at the vines that covered the wall.
The sharp heavy lightsaber easily cut through the skin of the vine.
Gudu Gudu...
There was thick black blood coming out of the incision, which was exactly the same as the bloodstain of the demon cultivator that Qin Guang had just stepped on!
"Master Jiang, be careful!"
Xiao Yan's voice sounded.
The next moment, he rushed directly towards Jiang Deng.
Seeing Xiao Yan with open arms getting closer and closer to him, Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows, what was this man up to?
But after all, she was in the pill-forming realm, so her reaction was naturally much faster than that of Xiao Yan. Before Xiao Yan could touch her, Jiang Deng tiptoed and easily jumped into the air.
Xiao Yan was in a daze, he didn't expect Jiang Deng to be so fast!
However, his forward momentum was too strong and he had no time to stop, and he arrived at the place where Jiang Deng was standing just now.
Before his feet even touched the ground, the vine that had just been cut by Jiang Deng could no longer bear it. It twisted its body and knocked Xiao Yan away.
The two of them moved very quickly, almost reacting at the same time.
Bang!
Xiao Yan's body hit another wall, and Jiang Deng slowly landed on the ground.
"You have nothing to do..."
Just as Jiang Deng was about to blame Xiao Yan, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty and his body fell uncontrollably.
As his body fell, Jiang Deng's eyes widened in surprise.
There is a hole in the ground!
Are you mistaken! Isn’t this the first floor of the Soul Locking Tower? Why is there another layer of space underneath!
Quickly summoning the power of chaos, Jiang Deng was about to jump back up from the pit when a green patch of green suddenly appeared in his sight, and then the entrance to the cave was sealed.
Jiang Deng: "..."
When she comes out, she will definitely settle the score with Xiao Yan, who is just looking for trouble and doing nothing but harm!
Full of heart and soul, Jiang Deng fell into the pit.
"Sister!"
"Ginger lamp!"
"Sister Jiang!"
…
Everyone shouted in unison.
However, everything happened too fast. Before anyone could react, Jiang Deng fell into the pit.
The vines from all directions all came from this side, and they all covered the entrance of the cave, densely packed together, like a hill.
Seeing this, Baili Chengfeng frowned slightly.
It seems that the only way to clear these vines is to open the passage and go find Jiang Deng.
Due to the presence of so many people, Baili Chengfeng could not reveal his true identity. He could only use the spiritual strength of his Nascent Soul realm cultivation to clean up the vines, but the progress was not fast.
"Xiao Yan, what are you doing!"
Jiang Zhiling looked at Xiao Yan dissatisfied, "If you hadn't been so meddlesome just now, I wouldn't have fallen into the pit!"
Xiao Yan struggled to get up from the ground and said with a bitter smile: "I saw the vines moving and wanted to save Peak Master Jiang. I didn't expect this..."
Jiang Zhiling was still staring at Xiao Yan angrily, wanting to kill him with her eyes.
Jiang Zhi advised from the side: "Miss Zhiling, Senior Brother Xiao is also kind-hearted, and he did not expect this. It will not help to hold him responsible now. The most urgent task is to clean up these vines quickly and rescue Senior Aunt Jiang."
"snort!"
Jiang Zhiling stared at Xiao Yan and warned: "You'd better pray that sister is okay, otherwise I won't let you go!"
After saying that, Jiang Zhiling turned around and joined the army of clearing the vines.
It's just that these vines don't know how they grow. They are too hard. With Jiang Zhiling's strength, she can't hurt the vines at all.
But Jiang Zhiling was not discouraged and continued to chop down the vines that sealed the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that everyone no longer paid attention to him, the smile on Xiao Yan's face disappeared. He took out the hand behind his back, and there was a drop of blood on the back of his hand.
Could it be the blood left behind when Jiang Deng was scratched by a vine just now?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan excitedly wrapped the drop of blood with spiritual power, sent it into his dantian, and transmitted the sound to the demon species.
"This is Jiang Deng's blood. Try it. Is she the one you are looking for?"
"I've already said it's not true, but you still don't believe it..."
The demon yawned boredly.
Unable to resist Xiao Yan's plea, it still thought of giving it a try and swallowed the drop of blood, only to know that it would spit it out again the next second.
"Bah! It's smelly and fishy. This is obviously the blood of a demon cultivator. You are deliberately playing tricks on me!"
Xiao Yan: "..."
Failed again.
It doesn't matter, there are four floors in this soul-suppressing tower, and this is the first floor. I believe that next, he will have a chance to get Jiang Deng's blood!
——
the other side.
Jiang Deng stepped on the wall, did a neat backflip, and landed safely.
Where is this place?
Fortunately, the lighting talisman also followed her down. Jiang Deng looked around, and everything around her was taken in by her eyes.
This is an underground space, the walls on all sides are covered with dark soil, the whole place is damp and dark, and there is an indescribable strange smell.
"Well……"
Just when Jiang Deng was feeling strange, a cry of pain came from not far away.
