398: I can't grasp it, leave it to Yao
Three days later.
Deep within the Poison Swamp.
Four Profound Manifestation Realm early-stage elders from the Mist Hidden Gate found a ravine thousands of meters deep.
This ravine was spanned by a single log, a hundred meters long, leading into an unfathomable depth. It was extremely treacherous, with a dense, bluish poisonous mist constantly rising from below, far more concentrated than in other parts of the Poison Swamp.
“The poison spirit pearl should be here.”
The four exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement.
They had investigated all the way, finally pinpointing this area. The poison spirit pearl was likely beneath this ravine.
The Mist Hidden Gate, skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia, enjoyed creating various strange and unusual items, and the poison spirit pearl happened to be of great use to them.
If they could obtain the poison spirit pearl, they would be able to create many terrifying poison-based magical treasures, which would undoubtedly elevate the Mist Hidden Gate’s strength to a new level.
“Let's go down and see.”
Without hesitation, the four unleashed their treasures to protect their bodies, then leaped into the ravine.
Just as the four of them entered the ravine, four figures appeared at its edge: Demon Dao Kong and three Dragon Transformation Realm elders.
“A poison spirit pearl? Interesting!”
Demon Dao Kong smiled playfully, and with the three elders, he flew into the ravine.
Behind a large tree.
Xie Weilou walked out with a calm expression. He approached the edge of the ravine, looking down indifferently.
Jing Qiu appeared beside him. She gazed at the ravine: “The poisonous gas in this ravine is extremely dense. It’s likely that all the poisonous mist in the entire Poison Swamp originates from here.”
“Let’s go down and see.”
Xie Weilou said indifferently, then directly flew and leaped into the ravine.
Ever since his blood turned golden, he seemed to have become immune to all poisons. The surrounding poisonous mist had no effect on him whatsoever.
“……”
Jing Qiu pondered for a moment, then activated a jade talisman to protect her body before leaping into the ravine.
After descending a thousand meters, they reached the bottom of the ravine.
At the bottom of the ravine, the space was wider and the poisonous mist was denser. Below lay a piece of ancient ruins.
Within the ruins, a pitch-black altar stood, and upon the altar, a cyan bead was placed.
This bead was extraordinary, emitting terrifying poisonous gas. The source of the poisonous gas in the Poison Swamp was this cyan bead, the poison spirit pearl!
“The poison spirit pearl!”
The four elders of the Mist Hidden Gate stood fifty meters from the altar, staring at the cyan bead on the altar with excited faces.
This bead was precisely the poison spirit pearl they had been searching for.
“I’ll go retrieve the poison spirit pearl.”
One of the elders said joyfully.
“Don’t be careless! There seems to be a formation sealing this place, and it’s impossible for the poison spirit pearl to be placed here without something guarding it.”
Another elder quickly reached out to stop him. He took out a yellow talisman paper, formed hand seals, and activated the talisman.
Buzz!
The yellow talisman instantly flew towards the altar, and a golden light permeated.
Boom!
Just as the talisman was ten meters from the altar, the altar instantly emitted a black light, forming a black defensive formation that shattered the talisman into dust.
“As expected, there’s a formation.”
The four elders stared at the formation outside the altar.
“Let’s attack together and see if we can directly shatter this formation.”
After a brief thought, the four elders directly attacked.
Rumble!
Four powerful forces instantly slammed into the formation, but their power was directly swallowed by the formation, which showed no signs of breaking.
“Hmm?”
The four raised their eyebrows. Brute force wouldn't work. Perhaps they had to slowly break the formation. They naturally understood something about formations.
“This is a sixth-grade formation. There’s no need for you all to keep trying.”
Demon Dao Kong’s voice sounded at the opportune moment. He descended with the three elders.
“There are others…”
When the four Mist Hidden Gate elders saw that there were outsiders, their expressions darkened. They immediately brought out their treasures, ready to strike at any moment.
They had found this poison spirit pearl first, and they couldn't let others snatch it away.
“Heh!”
Demon Dao Kong smiled playfully, his aura completely erupting, instantly locking down the four Mist Hidden Gate elders.
“Profound Phase Realm Peak…”
When the four Mist Hidden Gate elders sensed this aura, their expressions drastically changed. They instinctively recoiled, their eyes filled with horror.
Demon Dao Kong looked at the four elders: “This bead is good, but unfortunately, your strength is too weak to hold onto it. Why not hand it over to me?”
“Who are you people?”
One of the Mist Hidden Gate elders asked in a deep voice.
“You don’t need to know that.”
Demon Dao Kong smiled indifferently, completely ignoring the four Mist Hidden Gate elders. He looked up: “You two, show yourselves!”
“……”
Xie Weilou and Jing Qiu appeared.
“Two Dao Repository Realm cultivators?”
When the four Mist Hidden Gate elders saw Xie Weilou and Jing Qiu, they raised an eyebrow and then ignored them. A mere Dao Repository Realm cultivator was not worth their attention.
Xie Weilou looked at the poison spirit pearl on the altar, then looked at Demon Dao Kong: “This poison spirit pearl is good. I want it!”
Demon Dao Kong smiled and said: “As long as your strength is sufficient, naturally there’s no problem.”
He already knew what had happened at the Yin Corpse Sect.
That young man was his subordinate, and that Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage demonic puppet was also something he had given out, but he hadn’t expected it to be slain by someone surnamed Fan.
And that person surnamed Fan was right before him now!
Boom!
One of the Dragon Transformation Realm elders next to Demon Dao Kong’s eyes hardened, and he instantly pounced on Xie Weilou, striking out with a palm.
“This pressure… Dragon Transformation Realm…”
Jing Qiu and the four Mist Hidden Gate elders were startled when they sensed the pressure from this elder.
Xie Weilou showed no fear, raising his hand to meet the palm strike.
Rumble!
The two instantly clashed with a palm, and a booming sound echoed. One of the elder’s arms was shattered into a bloody mist, and he was sent flying dozens of meters like a cannonball.
“Hmm?”
Demon Dao Kong’s pupils contracted, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
The other two Dragon Transformation Realm elders were also full of surprise.
“Fan Shidi…”
Jing Qiu stared blankly at Xie Weilou, completely confirming the guess in her heart.
Among the Thunder Peak disciples, there seemed to be only one who could defeat a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator with a single move: Xie Weilou!
Fan Wei?
Xie Weilou?
Both had the character “Wei.” How could there be so many coincidences?
Playing the pig to eat the tiger, Xie Weilou!
“So strong…”
The four elders of the Mist Hidden Gate stared at Xie Weilou with horrified expressions.
A Dao Repository Realm cultivator, capable of shattering a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator’s arm into bloody mist with a single palm, was that normal?
Naturally, it was not normal.
This person must have concealed his cultivation.
The Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator who was sent flying stabilized his body, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. His gaze towards Xie Weilou was filled with apprehension. With just one clash, he knew that he was no match for this person.
Demon Dao Kong looked at Xie Weilou and said in a deep voice: “Fellow Daoist, what strength!”
Xie Weilou said indifferently: “The people of the Ten Thousand Demons Gate are also not weak.”
“You…”
Demon Dao Kong’s gaze narrowed, and there was a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes as he looked at Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou said indifferently: “I want this poison spirit pearl. Who agrees, and who opposes?”
