Chapter 67: News Leaks!
Half a day later.
The ambush circle meticulously arranged by the demon race within Moyun Ridge was now fragmented.
Under the clear division of labor between Lin Xuan and Li Li, all the demons within the ambush circle were killed!
Below, upon an open space in the jungle.
Layers of demon corpses had piled up into a mountain of bodies.
The malevolent energy, as if condensed into a tangible substance, drifted in all directions, attracting many low-level ghostly creatures.
Low-level insect monsters arrived from all sides of the ambush circle, greedily devouring the resentful energy and corpse energy drifting within the valley.
This caused the corpse energy on their bodies to increase substantially.
At this moment.
Lin Xuan, suspended above the jungle clearing, slowly and gently flapped his Dragon Wings.
The black hole vortex controlled in his right hand unscrupulously devoured the demon energy surging from all directions.
All of it was refined by Lin Xuan's North Mysterious Body, which had reached the minor completion realm.
The imposing manner of the mysterious demonic patterns on his bones and muscles grew stronger by several points.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a residual shadow arrived in an instant and stood before Lin Xuan.
"The formation at the Human-Demon border line has been repaired."
"The Holy Master and the other elders have also returned."
"Although this time, the Heavenly Demon Palace of the demon race used the pretext of pursuing a Black Flood Dragon with divine beast bloodline to launch an attack on the formation barrier managed by our Nine Heavens Holy Land, their true intentions can be well imagined!"
Li Li said to Lin Xuan.
"As long as they can capture one or two disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, basically some of your information will be completely exposed!"
Li Li said with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Although the demon spies within the Nine Heavens Holy Land have all been eliminated, it is unavoidable that there will be no spies above the Dao Union Realm in other Holy Lands or families."
"You must be careful and cautious in your future actions."
"As for the matter of you personally killing a Dao Union Realm demon powerhouse, we will also try to conceal it."
"We will only tell the disciples that you held on for three minutes, to avoid your talent being too world-shocking, lest that old lunatic from the Heavenly Demon Palace do something crazy!"
Li Li said.
"Yes, Elder."
Lin Xuan replied.
He felt that this was actually for the best.
Currently, his strength was more than sufficient to deal with some Nascent Soul Realm demons.
Since his strength had not yet fully grown, it was still necessary to take measures to avoid the sharp edge where possible.
Immediately.
Li Li swept his gaze over the tens of thousands of low-level insect monsters in the valley.
A vast pressure of divine sense thundered out.
With just this single thought, all the insect monsters in the valley perished.
A moment later.
The two then turned their battle towards the location of a large spatial demon cave.
Although they had arrived very promptly, they still allowed some demons to escape.
Afterwards, after the two resolved several Refining Void Realm demons near the spatial demon cave, an emergency transmission came from the border line.
The loophole in the formation had been patched.
However, many demons above the Refining Void Realm had taken advantage of the incomplete flaws in the formation to enter the territory under the jurisdiction of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
Their numbers were vast, and the manpower was completely insufficient, so Li Li was recalled.
Furthermore, the Nine Heavens Holy Land had already requested aid from the Big Dipper Holy Land and the Shentu Family, which were closest to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
Deep within Moyun Ridge.
Above a cloud layer several hundred zhang high.
Wearing black robes, Li Li said to Lin Xuan: "Holy Son Lin, the remaining demon remnants in Moyun Ridge are left for you to handle."
"Of course, if you encounter a powerful Refining Void Realm demon, preserving your life is the priority!"
After Li Li finished speaking with earnest words, he unleashed his full speed and sped towards the north of Moyun Ridge.
In the blink of an eye, that rapid residual image turned into a small black dot in the sky, disappearing without a trace.
As for Lin Xuan, he did not delay either.
The Dragon Wings on his back suddenly unfurled, and he followed a strand of demon energy to investigate towards the distance.
At the same time.
Within the demon race territory of the Northern Continent, the Heavenly Demon Palace suspended high in the vast sky.
Inside a side hall that was pitch-black throughout.
Yu Zhenlong, draped in a purple-gold robe, stood upright before a Recording Stone.
Upon the Recording Stone, spiritual light circulated, projecting a scene.
In a secluded house, a fox-headed Phantom Demon had captured two outer sect disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
Using illusion arts to control them, it was making them spit out information about Lin Xuan, word by word.
When those two disciples mentioned that their newly promoted Holy Son, Lin Xuan, had inherited the legacy of Emperor Beiming, Yu Zhenlong's pupils suddenly shrank.
"It is actually the legacy of Emperor Beiming!"
A cold glint emitted from Yu Zhenlong's pupils.
Speaking of which, Yu Zhenlong actually had a slight connection to Emperor Beiming.
At that time, Yu Zhenlong's Refining Void Realm grandfather had participated in the operation to lure and trap Emperor Beiming. He returned with heavy injuries.
In addition, the three Tribulation Crossing Realm demon ancestors who participated in suppressing Emperor Beiming also perished one after another upon their return!
The three great palace-suppressing artifacts used by the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Asura Palace, and the Moha Palace all suffered greatly to their vitality, and had not yet healed.
Yu Zhenlong knew just how perverted Emperor Beiming was.
"This child must be eliminated!"
Yu Zhenlong said, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.
Next.
With a wave of his hand, the scene on the Recording Stone gradually dissipated.
"Cough cough cough!"
After the scene on the light screen of the Recording Stone dissipated, Yu Zhenlong felt a pain in his chest and could not help coughing a few times.
A trickle of purple-gold blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing also became somewhat disordered.
"That old undying human, has lived for over five thousand damn years, and is actually still this formidable!"
Yu Zhenlong wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, took out several healing pills from his storage space, and swallowed them.
Only after a long time did the aura on his body calm down.
In order to cast that spatial node into the territory of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, Yu Zhenlong really spent a fortune this time.
He personally invited four Tribulation Crossing Realm experts from the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Only after promising various conditions did they help him secure a breath and a half of time.
Furthermore, all five people suffered minor injuries and fled in panic out of the Human-Demon border line.
This also allowed Yu Zhenlong to witness just how formidable the old generation of Tribulation Crossing Realm experts from the human race were in the past.
"Hehe, even if you are a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert and can endure the five-thousand-year lifespan limit, I do not believe you can always have supreme treasures to extend your life to continue lingering on your last breath!"
Then, the corner of Yu Zhenlong's mouth curled into a cold sneer, thinking viciously in his heart.
At the same time, he also entered a cultivation chamber below through a secret passage in the side hall to heal and recuperate.
As for those demons abandoned within the territory of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
Regarding the hidden pieces he had arranged, he had already given orders.
As for those demons exposed on the surface, Yu Zhenlong had issued orders to them to kill the disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land as much as possible.
If captured, if their bodies were still under his control, they were to self-destruct immediately!
"The increasingly weakening human race, the fertile East Continent!"
Every time he thought of this, it made Yu Zhenlong, situated in the Northern Continent, feel excited.
His ambition was for the Heavenly Demon Palace to incorporate the territories of the Big Dipper Holy Land and the Nine Heavens Holy Land into its own sphere of influence.
He also firmly believed that the human race, which had already entered a period of aging and decline, would absolutely be unable to withstand the crusade army formed by several races such as the demon race, the demon beast race, and the barbarian ghost race
