The monks around Enlightenment Island have all entered a state of cultivation.
Logically speaking, monks above the foundation building stage no longer need to rest. As long as they are willing, they can work until their spiritual energy is exhausted.
But this is outside the gate of Jiuyou!
If you don't adjust your work and rest schedule, if a war breaks out and everyone is not in the best condition, it's no joke.
Therefore, when midnight arrives, everyone, except for the rotating night watchmen, must practice to maintain their best condition.
It was at this time that four shadows wearing black cloaks emerged from the Lingxiao Academy territory.
Three of them are naturally Yunze, Dan Chenyu, and Ji Xiu, who is still at the fourth level of Qi refining. As for the other one...it's Yunxiao.
This was her last request.
You can go, but you have to take her with you!
It is true that she is proficient in a thousand ways, but in the final analysis, she is only in the late stage of foundation building. In terms of combat power, she may be on par with Dan Chenyu who is equipped with a spiritual weapon, or even worse than Yunze who does not hold back.
This is also the reason why everyone did not choose to take her with them when they explored the Jiuyou Secret Realm.
But if others don’t take them, it’s impossible for her two disciples to take them, right?
When Yun Xiao opened his mouth, Yunze and Dan Chenyu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Now that they had brought Yunxiao with them, the two of them originally didn't want to take Ji Xiu with them, so they just left him here to guard the station.
But thinking that there might be someone from the Holy Spirit Society in Tongtian Academy, Yunze had no choice but to take him along with him.
This kid's words are irritating, but in the final analysis, he is also his disciple, so he can't just let it go, right?
So, a group of four people set off on the road together, approaching the gate of Jiuyou.
As soon as we left the territory, the purple energy hit us!
Feelings of depression, gloom, and dullness instantly surged into his heart. Yunze felt a wave of irritability, frowning and looking at Yunxiao.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was extremely annoying, and he wanted to kill her directly!
But the next moment he shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind!
This purple energy seems to be able to affect people's minds!
He turned to look at Dan Chenyu and the others, and found that their eyes were all cloudy, especially Ji Xiu, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Xiaoxiu!"
Yunze had no choice but to step forward and call him twice. After finding that it was useless, he had no choice but to raise his hand and place it on the back of his head.
With a muffled sound, Ji Xiu's eyes returned to clarity.
"Master? What I just said was..."
"Bewitched."
Yunxiao had also woken up at this moment, and she explained calmly: "This is the horror of the Nine Nether Gate. If there is no formation to purify the demonic energy, how many people come in will be as many demons as they go out."
"It's so scary."
Dan Chenyu also returned to normal and said from the side: "I heard my father talk about this demonic energy before, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying."
"Terror? This is not the most terrifying thing."
Yun Xiao continued to explain: "The reason why I didn't tell you about this demonic energy before was because I wanted you to experience it for yourself.
At present, it is only on the periphery of the Nine Nether Gate. Once it reaches the edge or deeper, the influence of this evil energy will become more and more terrifying.
Now that you can wake up from it, it does not mean that you can escape from it later, so you must stick to your mind and withdraw as soon as you find your mind is turbulent.
After what you have just experienced, you must know where your limits are, right? If you are afraid, there is no harm in going back now."
Everyone, including Ji Xiu, nodded slowly, keeping this in mind, and then continued on their way.
Isn't it just a demon?
This thing can't stop three people at all.
After all, one of them wants to fake death and escape quickly, one wants to study under the Nine Nether Sect, and the other wants to meet the demons as soon as possible and kill some demons so as to avenge the destruction of the country and the family!
Yun Xiao nodded silently when he saw this, and then led everyone to move forward.
In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the edge of the Nine Nether Gate.
The demonic energy here is strong enough to be visible to the naked eye. Everyone has turned their breathing into inner breath and tried to avoid contact with it.
Now as long as you raise your eyes, you can see the Jiuyou Gate not far away.
At this time, the Nine Nether Gate has expanded for hundreds of miles. From a distance, it looks like a bottomless canyon. From time to time, there are several wailing sounds coming from the bottom.
No one knew whether it was the sound of wind or real wailing.
Yunze stepped forward and took a look, but didn't find any clues: "What exactly is down here?"
"Want to know? Why don't we just go down and take a look?"
Yunxiao said and jumped directly!
No precautions, not even any preparation!
"Hey! Master, wait for me!"
Dan Chenyu followed closely behind without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Yunze could only hold his forehead and sigh.
What can he do?
These two people were willing to risk their lives for the sake of research, and they happened to be met by him. What else could they do?
Of course I dote on you.
"I said, even if you are going to jump, you should say it in advance!"
Yunze sighed helplessly, turned around and glanced at Ji Xiu: "Let's go."
"Master, can you stop dancing?"
Ji Xiu was surprisingly frightened for a moment, and then said, "I'm a little afraid of heights."
"I'm afraid, it will be flat ground if you go down!"
Yunze said as he picked up Ji Xiu's neck, then jumped forward and jumped towards the Nine Nether Gate.
The cold wind rushed into my ears.
Yunze felt the scene in front of him change crazily, and the concentration of demonic energy around him also increased rapidly.
The previous demonic energy was only visible to the naked eye, but now the surrounding demonic energy has almost condensed into liquid!
About a quarter of an hour later, Yunxiao's voice finally came from below.
"This is the first floor below, please stop first."
"good!"
Yunze responded, then carried Ji Xiu and hovered.
The two of them landed slowly and finally touched the ground.
At this moment, Yunxiao and Danchenyu have landed on the ground, and are collecting various stones, grass leaves and roots everywhere.
but……
Yunze just glanced at it and felt that this place seemed to have been plundered. Parts of all kinds of vegetation had been removed, and there were also traces of digging on the rocks.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Are they the dean and the others?"
"It's just them."
Yun Xiao replied: "Judging from the traces nearby, they landed about four hours ago. Judging from the traces on the ground, they should have gone east.
However, the demonic energy is the strongest on the west side, and it is most likely the place where the demons appeared. They went to the east side, and they should have discovered something else, or they were planning to station here to prepare for a long battle."
"Then Master, what should we do?"
Dan Chenyu came forward with excitement on his face: "Going to the west?"
"Of course I'm going to the west."
Yun Xiao didn't hesitate much, and walked towards the west side as he said: "We came down secretly, we can't go directly to the base camp, right? We will be punished!"
After hearing this, Yunze couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He could only roll his eyes silently, and then followed Yunxiao.
Don't you just want to capture a demon for study? As for such a high-sounding one!
but……
Yunze turned his head and glanced at the east side.
If he wanted to fake his death, he would have to have several witnesses, right?
If we see the demons later and make more noise, I wonder if we can lure them over?
"Hey, why are you standing there? Why don't you come over quickly?"
Yun Xiao had already walked a hundred meters with Dan Chen Yu. When he saw that Yun Ze hadn't moved, he spoke to remind him.
"coming!"
Yun Ze responded and took Ji Xiu with him and ran towards the west side.
To say that this Nine Nether Gate is also weird.
As the evil spirit became more intense, there was even a layer of mist lingering in the air.
I heard from Yunxiao that this thing is called demon liquid, and for demon cultivators, it is no different from pure spiritual liquid.
Just one drop is worth a year of hard work during the foundation building period.
The effect is very significant, but the cost is also very significant.
Just one drop can make a person become possessed directly and become a slave to all emotions and desires!
Everyone can only barely resist the erosion of the demonic liquid by covering it with a layer of special demonic cowhide.
But it was just barely, everyone's mood was more or less affected by the demonic energy at this moment.
Especially Ji Xiu.
As he went deeper and deeper, his mood swings became more and more intense. After walking less than two hundred meters, Yunxiao saw that this kid couldn't stand it anymore, so he knocked him out with a single strike of his knife.
This is quite convenient.
After walking about a hundred meters, a purple light suddenly appeared in front of me! Judging from the shape, it looked very much like a human!
Dan Chenyu was walking at the front of the team. When she saw this figure, she gestured to the people behind her.
careful!
Ahead, there is probably a demon clan!
I was lucky enough to meet someone who was alone as soon as I arrived.
Yun Xiao walked in the middle, closed his eyes, sensed a few breaths, and gave a gesture to the two of them.
At the initial stage of Dan Condensation, he can fight!
Yunze rolled his eyes when he saw this.
We won’t talk about the fainting Qi refining period here. In addition, there are three foundation building stages, one in the late stage, one in the middle stage, and one in the early stage.
Can this be fought?
You really don’t want to use the demons as a meal!
However, a white eye is a white eye. When Dan Chenyu charged towards him with his sword, he quickly followed behind!
Almost at the same time, Yunxiao placed several different kinds of restrictions, some blocking the aura, some purifying the demonic energy, and some increasing the aura.
Lin Lin's total of ten formations fell around the demon clan in less than one breath.
By the time the other party reacted, Yunze and Dan Chenyu had already reached its side!
Almost at the same time, a flash of spiritual light went straight through the chest of the demon!
"nailed it."
Dan Chenyu smiled and said three words, but the next moment Yunze felt something was wrong.
It’s too easy to kill this Core Condensation stage demon clan, as if you’re here waiting for them to take action!
boom!
moment!
There was a muffled sound and the demonic energy suddenly exploded!
Countless demonic fluids bypassed the demonic cowhide and fell directly on Yunze and the two of them!
be cheated!
Yunze's heart trembled, and he suddenly noticed countless purple lights emerging from all around.
