173: A black and red crack, a girl's request.

An incense stick's time later.

Su Yun and Mu Wanning arrived at the place where the misty darkness was thickest.

No trees could be seen in this place anymore.

Everywhere was completely bare.

"The misty darkness here has strengthened a lot."

Mu Wanning felt the spiritual power in her body being rapidly consumed.

The Void-Shattering Spiritual Lightning barrier she had released was constantly being attacked by the mist, making a sizzling sound.

"Let me take over."

"Alright."

Mu Wanning nodded gently.

Immediately, Su Yun gave a casual wave, and a Purple Heaven Spirit Thunder barrier enveloped the two of them.

"Wan Ning, you don't have to hold on so tight!"

Su Yun looked at Mu Wanning with some helplessness.

At this moment, Mu Wanning was still tightly clutching his arm with her soft, deep cleavage and fair, smooth jade-like hands.

It was making it a bit hard for him to resist the sensation.

He didn't know when Mu Wanning had become like this.

Could it be because he had saved Mu Wanning once before?

That shouldn't be possible.

"Su Yun, I'm a little afraid of the dark, so can I continue to hold your arm?"

Mu Wanning said in a trembling voice.

At this moment, her pretty face was pale as if she were truly terrified.

She wasn't actually lying; what she had feared most as a child was the night.

However, after joining the Lingfa Sect, she gradually stopped being afraid of the night.

"Ah? Do as you wish."

Su Yun gave Mu Wanning a suspicious look and spoke directly.

He always felt that Mu Wanning was faking it.

Unfortunately, he had no evidence.

A moment later, the two arrived at a wide clearing.

In the center of the clearing was a black-red rift several thousand feet in size.

Thick misty darkness drifted near the rift.

"This rift seems to be an entrance to a space."

Mu Wanning sensed faint spatial fluctuations emerging from the black-red rift.

It was very similar to the gate of a Small World.

"It seems the person releasing the misty darkness is hidden in the space behind the rift."

Su Yun vaguely felt an extremely cold aura being released from the rift, which was somewhat similar to the aura emanating from the Demon Territory earlier.

"Could it be related to the Demon Territory?"

"The Demon Territory?"

A serious expression appeared on Mu Wanning's pretty face.

While at the Lingfa Sect, she had learned about rumors of various regions.

Among them, rumors regarding the Demon Territory were the fewest.

She only knew that the Demon Territory was the most dangerous region.

Extremely ferocious members of the Demon Race lived inside.

"There wouldn't be any Demon Race inside, would there?"

"It's possible."

"Wan Ning, it's very dangerous inside. Are you sure you want to enter with me?"

Su Yun looked at Mu Wanning and spoke seriously.

After all, the situation inside was unknown.

If he were alone, he could flee if he couldn't win.

However, with his Revered Master's jade talisman, there likely wasn't anyone he couldn't beat.

When he previously used the sword-shaped jade talisman, he had even scared away the Mahayana Realm Demon Race in the Demon Territory.

This was enough to show that the power of this jade talisman could threaten a Mahayana Realm Cultivator.

There were probably very few Mahayana Realm Cultivators in the entire Haomiao Realm.

So with this jade talisman, he could likely walk unhindered throughout the Haomiao Realm.

But the sword-shaped jade talisman had a limited number of uses.

Furthermore, such a powerful jade talisman certainly wouldn't be easy to make.

It was better to use it sparingly.

"Su Yun, it's fine.

It's also very dangerous inside this misty darkness; we might as well just enter that space."

Mu Wanning extended her jade hand, and the void-breaking thunder spear appeared in it.

She was already prepared to enter that rift.

Her previously being hit by a Divine Sense attack was because of her carelessness.

She had already prepared her trump cards in advance.

The previous situation would not happen again.

"Alright then."

Su Yun nodded.

Immediately, the Flowing Cloud Sword also appeared in his hand.

He also had to be prepared before entering the rift; he couldn't be careless.

"Then let's go in."

Mu Wanning's other jade hand tightened its grip on Su Yun's arm.

The two transformed into streaks of light and entered the black-red rift... into the black space.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

"Such thick Death Qi and Evil Qi."

Su Yun instantly felt a thick Death Qi appear in this space, surging toward a certain location.

"Could this be the purpose of the Beast Tide attacking the city?

To condense a large amount of Death Qi and Evil Qi after several days of fighting?"

Mu Wanning suddenly recalled the scene she had seen while passing outside Qingling City just now.

Outside Qingling City, there were originally corpses of Yao Beasts and Human Race Cultivators everywhere.

But when they passed by just now, those corpses had vanished.

"Very likely."

"The corpses outside Qingling City are all gone."

"They were likely sucked into this space."

Su Yun looked into the distance; he vaguely felt a powerful aura coming from the depths of the space... deep within the black space.

"I've finally waited for these two humans to enter."

Evil Nether said with some excitement.

It discovered that these two humans seemed to have special Physiques, as well as Spirit Lightning.

Although Spirit Lightning was tricky, it wasn't without ways to deal with it.

The most important thing was the special Physiques of these two humans.

If it could kill these two.

And use the Demon Swallowing Great Art to absorb their Physique Origins, then the condensation progress of its Evil Nether Body would be greatly accelerated.

"Gray Rock, Ghost Vine, Blazing Fire."

"Wake up!"

Although Evil Nether had not successfully condensed a body, it could still perform some Demon Race Secret Techniques.

Under the influence of its powerful Secret Technique.

The Three Great Demon Kings, who had originally died, re-condensed their bodies.

In fact, it was because a portion of the Three Great Demon Kings' Primordial Spirits was in its hands.

Not only did it allow it to firmly control the Three Great Demon Kings.

But it could also use this portion of their Primordial Spirits to re-condense the bodies of the Three Great Demon Kings.

However, after re-condensing their bodies, the intelligence of these Three Great Demon Kings would be affected, they would lose a portion of their memories, and they would be unable to leave this space.

A moment later.

Evil Nether successfully had all Three Great Demon Kings condense their bodies.

At this moment, the eyes of the Three Great Demon Kings were dull, much more rigid than before.

"Their strength might not be enough; I need to strengthen them a bit."

Feeling the sting, Evil Nether took out a large amount of Death Qi and Evil Qi and injected them into the bodies of the Three Great Demon Kings.

This Death Qi and Evil Qi were meant for it to condense its own body.

They weren't quite enough to begin with.

But in order to kill those two humans and devour them.

It could only inject this Death Qi and Evil Qi into the bodies of the Three Great Demon Kings to enhance their strength.

Because it had a faint premonition.

That if it could refine the Physique Origins of those two humans.

Then the speed at which it condensed its body would be greatly accelerated.

"Greetings, Lord."

The Three Great Demon Kings said in cold voices.

Their Realm had now reached the sixth level of Soul Transformation.

They had risen by a full three minor Realms compared to before.

"Your mission is to kill those two humans.

Then bring their corpses to me."

Evil Nether looked at the Three Great Demon Kings with satisfaction.

Under the enhancement of the Death Qi and Evil Qi.

The Three Great Demon Kings were at least dozens of times stronger than before.

This time, it was surely foolproof.

Furthermore, it had specifically performed a secret method to strengthen the Three Great Demon Kings' resistance to Spirit Lightning.

Facing those two humans, they would surely be able to resolve it easily.

"Rest assured, Lord, we will certainly complete the mission."

The Three Great Demon Kings nodded.

Immediately, a dazzling black light emanated from their bodies, and the Spiritual Qi within a radius of several miles was absorbed into their bodies.

"Human brat, you're dead!"

The Three Great Demon Kings transformed into three streaks of light and flew toward the direction where Su Yun and Mu Wanning were.
