Ximen Changqing made a huge harvest and obtained a large number of treasures. With the water-calming stone in hand, he could easily sneak into the many demon king caves in Foshou Lake and take away all the treasures inside.
With one Demon King's Cave and dozens of Demon King's Caves, the amount of treasures obtained is naturally very impressive, which makes Ximen Changqing very satisfied.
"Master, almost all the treasures of Buddha's Hand Lake have been taken away by us. Where to go next?"
Void Doll asked.
"Lao Mu, please lead the way! Wherever you say we should go, we will go!"
Ximen Changqing believed in Lao Mu's judgment. This guy's root system covered a very wide area and he had a good understanding of the secret realm of Danding. He could not go wrong by letting him lead the way.
"Master, let's go to Hanyue Lake next! There is also a demon emperor sitting there. My root strength is limited and I cannot break through the demon emperor's cave restrictions, but I feel that there must be treasures in the demon emperor's cave."
Lao Mu decided to go to Hanyue Lake three hundred miles away first.
"Hanyuetan, the information I bought also contains this location, but there is only a record of treasures, but no record of the Demon Emperor. Isn't this a lie?"
Ximen Changqing is not worried about himself. He is strong and will not be killed by the Demon King, but the same is not true for other monks.
When other monks purchase these materials, they will go straight for the treasures. Once they encounter the Demon King unexpectedly, they may die due to lack of preparation.
"Master, don't worry, with us here, it will be no problem to kill one or two Demon Emperors."
The Void Doll made a confident statement.
"Okay, let's go to Hanyuetan."
Ximen Changqing led the way and headed straight for Hanyuetan.
At this moment, many monks have entered Hanyue Lake, and they are rushing to collect treasures.
"Senior brother, I heard that there is a lot of ice iron in Hanyue Lake. As long as you find a small piece and refine it into my heaven-reaching magic weapon, it can greatly increase its power."
"I've also heard that this ice iron is a treasure. We must collect more of it and take it back to increase the power of the magic weapon. If there are any more, we can auction them off."
"Senior brother, look, there is a piece of ice iron at the bottom of the water. It is so big, I am afraid it weighs three hundred kilograms, hahaha!"
"If you discover it first, it belongs to you. Let's search separately. We must collect more."
A group of Qingxuanmen monks were very happy when they discovered Han Bing Tie.
They also purchased relevant information about the Alchemy Secret Realm and knew that there was ice iron produced in Hanyue Lake, but the information did not record the existence of monsters. This made them naively think that there would be no monsters here, at least not at all.
There will be very powerful monsters.
"Hmph, a bunch of damn human monks dare to break into my territory. They are simply seeking death."
A sixth-level demon king green-scaled beast let out an angry roar.
It was resting, but was disturbed by a human monk, which naturally annoyed it. As for the ice iron, it was of little use to the green-scaled monsters, but it didn't want to give it away to the human monk in vain.
As long as it is in his territory, even an ordinary stone is his private property, and no one else has the right to mess with it.
"Crash...boom..."
"Senior brother, there is a monster..."
The Demon King's sudden attack was naturally swift and resolute, and he did not give the Qingxuanmen monks any time to prepare. As soon as he made a sneak attack, he killed a Qingxuanmen disciple.
"No, it's the sixth-level Demon King. Everyone, be careful and stay closer!"
The senior brother of Qingxuan Sect quickly gathered the remaining eight disciples of the sect and prepared to resist the green-scaled beast.
"Senior brother, there is no mark on the map that there is a monster here, let alone a sixth-level demon king. Isn't this a lie?"
"As long as I have my life to go out, I will kill that damn vendor."
"What does it have to do with the hawker? He also bought the information from elsewhere. We were careless."
"Senior brother, the sixth-level demon king is very powerful. We are afraid that we are no match for him, so we should run away quickly!"
The eight Qingxuanmen monks looked very nervous.
"Hahahaha! Entering my territory and trying to escape is simply wishful thinking. Stay here! Don't even think about leaving."
The green-scaled beast smiled ferociously and launched an attack on the eight Qingxuanmen monks.
For Qingxuanmen monks, the strength of the sixth-level green-scaled beast is simply too powerful, and they cannot resist it.
However, the Green Scale Beast had already made it clear that it wanted to kill them. In order to save their lives, they decided to risk everything and use all their cards to deal with the Blue Scale Beast.
"Since Senior Demon King wants to kill us, no wonder we are desperate."
The senior brother of Qingxuanmen sacrificed a sixth-order low-grade puppet beast. With his strength, he could barely control the sixth-order puppet beast, but it would consume a lot of his spiritual consciousness.
In order to save the lives of himself and his junior brothers, he had to use this life-saving trump card.
"The sixth-level puppet beast is unfortunately a dead thing. Trying to defeat me with a dead thing is simply wishful thinking. You should die!"
The sixth-level green-scaled beast launched a fierce attack, and the disciples of Qingxuan Sect also resisted with all their strength.
This senior brother used all his strength to control the sixth-order puppet beast and acted as the main force against the green-scaled beast. The remaining seven Qingxuanmen monks tried their best to protect their senior brother.
This is to prevent the senior brother from being killed by the blue-scaled beast in a surprise attack. In that case, the sixth-level puppet beast will become useless.
The battle was fierce, and both sides were furious.
The eight Qingxuan Sect monks were all injured to varying degrees. The Blue Scale Beast's demonic power was also greatly depleted, and there were many wounds on its body.
The sixth-level puppet beast can hurt the green-scaled beast. The eight Qingxuanmen monks also have a small number of sixth-level talismans on their bodies, which can also hurt the green-scaled beast.
The cultivator of the God Transformation cannot yet exert the full power of the sixth-order talisman, but even half of its power is enough to hurt the green-scaled beast at the sixth-order Demon King level.
The sixth-level puppet beast also needs to be used more flexibly and freely in the hands of the Void Refining monk. In the hands of the God Transformation monk, it will always appear a bit clumsy.
This is due to insufficient spiritual consciousness and insufficient control. If, like Ximen Changqing, the intensity of spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a Void Refining monk, it would be easier to control the sixth-order puppet beast.
The battle between the two sides took place at the bottom of Hanyue Lake, and the commotion caused caused a terrifying wave on the surface of Hanyue Lake.
Many monks passing by looked at Hanyuetan with curiosity, thinking that there must be a fight below.
"Senior sister, this is Hanyue Lake! I heard that there is a lot of ice iron here, which is a very good spiritual material. Why don't we go down and have a look."
The passing female cultivator from the Purple Sword Sect looked curiously at the turbulent Hanyue Lake.
"A bloody battle is taking place below Hanyue Lake. I don't know who the two parties are. If we rush there, we will inevitably be implicated. It is better to wait and see what happens and take a look first before talking."
Fairy Zichun frowned and stopped over Hanyuetan.
She really wanted to go down to collect ice iron, but she also knew in her heart that the fighting below was very fierce, and if she went down hastily, she would be affected. Once the two fighting parties saw them entering, they might join forces to deal with her, which would be very bad.
The Purple Sword Sect has just experienced a bloody battle, and several of its disciples have died. Now, there are only six female cultivators left, and their strength is really insignificant.
Therefore, Fairy Zichun no longer dares to take risks. As long as there is danger, she will hesitate again and again and dare not make a rash decision.
"Senior sister is right. We have lost several junior sisters, and now we are the only ones left. We should be more cautious."
"We should be cautious, but we should also figure out what is going on down there! At least we should go down to investigate and see who is fighting!"
"Sister, let me go down!"
After Fairy Ziqie finished speaking, she volunteered to fly into Hanyue Lake to find out what happened.
The water in Hanyue Lake is too deep and has a certain effect of blocking spiritual consciousness. Therefore, outside Hanyue Lake, it is difficult to figure out what is happening at the bottom of the lake. You must go down to investigate in person.
"No, it's the breath of the sixth-level Demon King."
Not long after entering the Cold Moon Pond, Fairy Ziqie felt the terrifying aura that only the sixth-level demon emperor could have. She did not dare to go deeper into the bottom of the pond and quickly returned to the surface to join her fellow disciples.
"Zi Qie, what happened? Why does your face look so ugly?"
Seeing Zi Qie in such a panic, Fairy Zi Chun asked with concern.
"Senior sister, I just went a thousand meters deep when I felt the terrifying aura that only the sixth-level Demon King can have. I didn't dare to go deeper, so I quickly came back.
This is a battle at the Demon King level, our strength is very limited, it’s better not to provoke them, and we should leave as soon as possible!”
Fairy Ziqie was still nervous and planned to give up collecting ice iron.
"Junior Sister Ziqie is right, let's leave quickly! It's too dangerous here. We don't have the strength to challenge the Demon Emperor."
Zichun quickly left Hanyuetan with her five junior sisters.
The god-transformation monks hiding around them felt a little uneasy when they saw the Zijianmen monks leaving in such fear. Most of them left quietly, while a few were still watching.
At this moment, Ximen Changqing also entered the vicinity of Hanyue Lake. He happened to see Fairy Ziqie entering the water, and then the entire Zijianmen fled from this scene.
"Old Mu, we seem to be a step too late. Someone has already fought against the Demon Emperor!"
Ximen Changqing's spiritual consciousness is naturally much stronger than that of the female cultivators from the Purple Sword Sect. Even if he stands on the shore of the Cold Moon Pond, he can still know the two warring parties at the bottom of the pond.
"Master, it's its aura. The Blue-Scale Beast Demon King of Hanyue Lake, and those eight human monks may not be able to hold on for too long. Do we want to help?"
Lao Mu didn't want to challenge the blue-scaled beast, so he spoke in a weak tone.
"How can I help you? We don't have any friendship. We still have to go find the treasure. Let's go down!"
Ximen Changqing is not afraid of the Blue Scale Beast Demon King. He knows that the bottom of Hanyue Lake produces ice iron, and this thing is a rare treasure. He wants to collect more of it.
Soon, they entered the bottom of the Cold Moon Pond, but kept a certain distance from the fighting parties.
Hanyue Lake is very large, and the area gets bigger as you go down, which is surprising.
"Master, the bottom of Hanyue Lake is very large. We have to search separately to find more ice iron."
Shui Wa excitedly made the suggestion.
Once it enters the water, the water baby will be particularly excited, which will make it feel very comfortable, an indescribable feeling of comfort.
"Okay, you eight brothers, disperse and find the Ice Iron! The Void Doll will follow me to find the Demon King's cave."
Ximen Changqing agreed to Shui Wa's suggestion, but he would not personally search for the scattered ice iron. Finding the Green Scale Beast's cave quickly was the most urgent thing to do.
After all, in his opinion, there are more treasures hidden in the cave of the Blue Scale Beast Demon King, and he will definitely gain more than searching separately.
In order to prevent the Demon King from suddenly attacking him, or to hide his actions, he needed the help of the Void Doll.
Other dolls and spiritual pets cannot help with these tasks.
In addition, letting the eight fairy gourd dolls disperse to search for the ice iron can also distract the demon emperor's energy, making the demon emperor tired of dealing with it.
As for the safety of the fairy gourd dolls, he is not worried at all. The attack strength of these guys may not kill the demon emperor, but their defense is invincible, and the demon emperor cannot kill them.
"Master, I know the approximate location of the Blue Scale Beast Demon King's Cave. Please come with me."
Based on his memories from many years ago, Lao Mu found the general location of the Green Scale Beast Cave and took Ximen Changqing there.
"Lao Mu, is it this direction? Why haven't you found it yet?"
Following the direction pointed by Lao Mu, Ximen Changqing searched for a long time, but still could not find the Demon King's Cave.
"Master, this green-scaled beast likes to dig into the mud. Its cave should be hidden underneath. The entrance may be hidden. We have to look for it carefully."
Lao Mu opened his mouth to defend himself.
"Okay, let's search carefully together."
Ximen Changqing increased his consciousness consumption speed and searched the mud at the bottom of the pool over and over again. As long as he found an abnormality, he could be sure that it was the Demon King's Cave.
"Master, there seems to be something wrong under this piece of mud. It makes me feel familiar. No, it is my roots. I once tried to enter this piece of mud, but was broken by the Blue Scale Beast Demon King.
There is still a trace of aura in the broken root. Now that my body has entered here in person, I can naturally feel that the aura of the broken root has not completely disappeared, and it should be down here."
Lao Mu guessed with certainty.
"Okay, Lao Mu, I trust your judgment."
Ximen Changqing carefully explored it several times with his spiritual consciousness, and felt something strange.
"Escape Technique"
Ximen Changqing directly used the escape technique to go deep into the mud.
"There is actually a cave here. It must be the cave of the Blue Scale Beast Demon King. It is indeed hidden secretly, but I still found it, hahaha!"
Ximen Changqing laughed happily.
Nowadays, the Blue Scale Beast Demon King is still fighting with the Qingxuanmen monks, so the cave's defenses are naturally relaxed. This is a great opportunity for Ximen Changqing to seize the treasure.
"It would be bad if the Blue Scale Beast Demon King comes back suddenly. We should deploy early warning formations and defensive formations!"
Ximen Changqing was not in a hurry to hunt for treasure. Instead, he deployed an early warning array and three defensive arrays at the entrance of the Blue Scale Beast Demon King's Cave, which was enough to withstand it for a while.
With the defenses in place, Ximen Changqing entered the Green Scale Beast's cave with confidence and searched for the treasures hidden here.
"Who dares to break into His Majesty the Qing Emperor's cave and seek death?"
Less than two hundred steps into the cave, Ximen Changqing was discovered by two demon kings.
At first glance, these two demon kings were members of the same clan as the Blue Scale Demon Emperor, and they were specially assigned to help him guard the cave.
"Hmph, just two demon kings dare to yell in front of me."
Ximen Changqing was furious and did not take the two demon kings to heart at all.
