129: Bronze Key

At the location of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds.

"Commander, we are the first to arrive!" the thin man said with pleasant surprise.

"As the saying goes, 'If Heaven gives and you do not take, you will instead suffer the blame; if the time arrives and you do not welcome it, you will instead suffer the calamity!'" Wu Luren suppressed his excitement, pressed his palms together, and said, "This is the great Saintly Teacher, helping us from the netherworld!"

He bowed toward the Void Realm.

The thin man and the golden-bow woman followed suit. The Saintly Teacher was the spiritual leader and guiding light of the Taiping Holy Church, though he had long since passed away.

Yet, his status within the Sect remained transcendent.

"We are the first to arrive here, so we will surely be able to seize the Opportunity!"

Wu Luren separated his hands, his eyes filled with piety as he looked at the Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds. He stepped onto the cloud ladder, and his figure gradually merged into the sea of clouds.

A moment later.

The demons and the people from the Earth Fiend Hall also arrived in a rush.

"It seems we are a step late. Someone moved faster than us!" A trace of mockery flashed in Golden Pig Demon Lord's eyes.

"So what if they arrived first? Who in this Ghost Moon Cave can stop us when we join forces?" Tianhu snorted coldly.

"That is true!"

Golden Pig Demon Lord nodded. Even without the Nine-tailed Demon Lord, with the combat power of their three peak Great Grandmasters, aside from that pervert attacking the Red Mist taboo in the Ghost Moon Cave, who could be their match?

However, he estimated that guy had already perished together with the mysterious existence within the Red Mist.

No news had come out since the two decided to fight to the death.

"This Chu Jiang will definitely come. When the time comes, we will eliminate him at the Ghost Moon Legacy site to avoid future troubles." Before entering the Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds, Golden Pig Demon Lord did not forget the Nine-tailed Demon Lord's instructions; killing Chu Jiang was their true purpose.

"That is only natural!"

After Tianhu finished speaking, he stepped onto the cloud ladder together with Golden Pig Demon Lord.

On the other side.

A red-haired youth and a voluptuous woman were fleeing for their lives.

They were being hunted by several Demonized Lizards behind them.

"Senior Sister, you will be fine. I will definitely save you and get you out of here."

The red-haired youth said with love.

They were Disciples arranged by the Purple Flame Demon Sect in White Stone County, tasked with observing the current situation of Young Master Ling Xiao and reporting back to the Sect regularly.

It just so happened that an anomaly appeared in White Stone County.

After reporting to the Sect, they wanted to try their luck to see if they could harvest some treasures.

Originally, the red-haired youth did not really want to come, because the greater the commotion, the greater the Opportunity, which naturally meant greater danger.

These treasures were likely not easy to obtain.

But since his Senior Sister said she wanted to come, he had no choice but to follow her. He had been pursuing his Senior Sister for three years.

He was about to succeed.

He could not let all his previous efforts go to waste.

His Senior Sister said she was a slow-to-warm-up person. He understood; his Senior Sister was a conservative person.

She was testing him.

"I am afraid I cannot go on much longer. You should flee for your life alone." The voluptuous woman's face was pale.

In her heart, she was thinking about how to make this guy willingly give his all to block the Demonized Lizards behind them and buy her time to escape.

This guy was just one of her dozen or so backups, but since he had been pursuing her for three years without giving up, he was ranked at the top among her backups.

Others would give up after pursuing for a few months without success.

But he had persisted for three whole years.

He was always at her beck and call.

Even a casual word of praise from her would make him happy for days.

Now, it was time to utilize his final value to buy her a glimmer of hope for survival.

However, she could not be too direct.

She would give him some life-saving item later to let him block them for a moment for her.

"Senior Sister, rest assured. With me here, these monsters will never kill you!" the red-haired youth said dotingly.

Then, with a resolute expression, he roared at the Demonized Lizards behind them, "Damn monsters, stop hurting my Senior Sister! If you want to hurt her, you must step over my corpse first!"

After saying this, he turned around and charged toward the Demonized Lizards.

The voluptuous woman was shocked. She had prepared a large amount of rhetoric to trick him into covering her retreat, but after she said just one sentence, he was already rushing to his death.

How much must this backup love her?

"Husband, this is an Explosive Spirit Pill. It can enhance your strength. We will meet at the Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds!"

The voluptuous woman threw a Medicinal Pill to the red-haired youth. This Explosive Spirit Pill allowed one's strength to skyrocket in a short time at the cost of self-destructing part of one's Meridians.

It was used to fight for one's life.

However, with him here, she naturally did not need to risk herself, and she only needed to provide verbal support.

Why not do it?

"Senior Sister, you finally accepted me! I will definitely come to see you alive!"

When the red-haired youth heard the voluptuous woman call him "husband," he was overjoyed. His whole body felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his blood was boiling.

His three years of bitter pursuit had finally seen the dawn.

This was the power of persistence.

Constant dripping wears away the stone.

He had finally warmed his Senior Sister's cold heart, and she even gave him a Medicinal Pill. Was she looking forward to seeing him again?

Although this Explosive Spirit Pill would damage some Meridians.

But to gain his Senior Sister's love, it was worth a gamble. He gritted his teeth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"I will wait for you ahead!"

The voluptuous woman did not say much more. At this time, she just needed to give him hope.

Let him risk his life for her.

The longer, the better.

She looked at the red-haired youth, and a trace of emotion actually flashed in her eyes.

But offering her body to him was impossible.

She could only repay him by being his beast of burden in the next life.

Then she turned her head and fled quickly.

After taking the Explosive Spirit Pill, the red-haired youth's strength skyrocketed. Facing the siege of several Demonized Lizards, he did not appear strained. Coupled with his physical excitement, he fought with increasing courage.

He even killed a Demonized Lizard.

His belief was only one thing: survive and meet his Senior Sister again.

"Kill!"

He continued to fight.

Rattle.

The ground trembled, and a massive Demonized Lizard suddenly darted out from the rotting underground like a ghost, emitting a bloodthirsty glow.

Its speed was extremely fast.

It opened its bloody maw, revealing fangs like blades and axes, instantly enveloping the red-haired youth. Before he could react, he was bitten in one gulp.

"No!"

He shouted in despair.

His Senior Sister was still waiting for him ahead, and he was about to become husband and wife with her.

He did not even know if his Senior Sister was safe.

He was unwilling to accept this.

Heavens, do not toy with me like this.

However.

The giant lizard's massive mouth slammed shut, and the powerful bite force instantly crushed his body.

In a few bites, he was swallowed into its belly.

The giant lizard continued to burrow into the ground, searching for its next target.

The voluptuous woman was still fleeing.

But her Aura was becoming increasingly unstable.

During her flight just now, she had inadvertently come into contact with a wisp of red mist.

Her body was undergoing some kind of bizarre change.

It was actually consuming her consciousness.

She was already injured.

This was adding insult to injury.

Whoosh!

She looked up!

Several figures wearing Qilin robes appeared in the sky above, their Aura majestic. The person in the lead was unfathomable, impossible to gauge.

Her face showed surprise.

As a Disciple sent by the Purple Flame Demon Sect to White Stone County, she naturally recognized these people.

Chu Jiang.

The famous Chu Jiang.

A nearly invincible powerhouse at the Grandmaster realm; let alone the younger generation, even among the older generation, there were few who had not heard his name.

With him here, she would be safe.

She was currently in plain clothes, not dressed as the Purple Flame Demon Sect. As a Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, dedicated to protecting the country and the people, he would not ignore her if he saw someone injured.

"Commander Chu, save me!"

"I am a Disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect. I was hunted by monsters and infected with a strange red mist. I am severely injured; I beg Commander to save me!"

The voluptuous woman knelt on both legs, bowed, and deliberately pulled open part of her collar, revealing a large expanse of her bosom. She was quite confident in her own body.

Otherwise, she would not have had a dozen or so backups.

She deliberately claimed to be a Disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect; surely you, Chu Jiang, could not stand by and watch her die now.

Whoosh!

Just then.

Chu Jiang flicked his finger lightly, and a wisp of Southern Bright Fire surged into the voluptuous woman's body.

Without even a scream, she was incinerated, turning into ashes filling the sky.

Chu Jiang looked down and said disdainfully, "This Commander could tell at a glance that you are not human!"

He knew every one of the hundreds of Disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and this person did not exist.

Deliberately deceiving him must mean she harbored malicious intentions.

Better to kill her first.

Little White on his shoulder narrowed its eyes and muttered softly, "What a pity, this woman was so plump, at least four jin."

After the voluptuous woman died.

A Bronze Key fell to the ground, and Chu Jiang grabbed it into his hand.

Although his Southern Bright Fire just now used less than one-tenth of its power, it was enough to incinerate High Grade weapons, yet this Bronze Key was unharmed.

He stored it into his Heavenly Eye space; it might come in handy later.

Afterward.

The group continued forward.

Chu Jiang killing someone must have his reasons; they did not need to ask why.

Furthermore, this woman had already started to demonize and would soon become a monster.

Sending her to the afterlife early also saved her from suffering.

After this small episode.

The group arrived at the location of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds.

"These Seven-Colored Clouds are one of the three great taboos, the most mysterious one, and appear the least often. I did not expect the Ghost Moon's Legacy to be inside here."

Wang Chao said.

"Let's go in!"

Chu Jiang said indifferently.

As for taboos?

If you do not provoke me, you are a taboo; if you provoke me, you are a cutie.

To be precise.

Whether you provoke me or not, you are a cutie.

Peerless Grandmaster combat power.

I can even do without eating beef.

...

The figures of the group also faded into the sea of clouds.
