135: Can I kill you now?

"Who are you?"

Ye Qingwan looked outside the cave.

"You may call me Nine-tailed Demon Lord, but my name is not important. What is important is that we share a common enemy."

The Nine-tailed Demon Lord said calmly.

Ye Qingwan's strength was even greater than a Taboo, making her the perfect person to recruit to fight against Chu Jiang together.

Killing Chu Jiang was the top priority.

"Just by yourself?"

Ye Qingwan said disdainfully. The Nine-tailed Demon Lord's strength was only at the Underworld Rank Second Turn; wanting to kill that outsider was probably a pipe dream.

She had already learned from Ye Wuyou that he had at least the combat strength of a Peerless Grandmaster, and in a maximum burst, he might even rival a Peerless Grandmaster at the Middle Stage.

This was equivalent to the Underworld Rank Fourth Turn among demons.

"Don't be impatient. Why force a head-on confrontation to kill him? I have plenty of methods!"

The Nine-tailed Demon Lord sneered.

"As long as we cooperate, killing him will be easy."

Ye Wuyou frowned tightly and said, "You want us to trust you with empty words? At the very least, show some sincerity."

The Nine-tailed Demon Lord smiled indifferently.

Suddenly.

A black flag appeared in her hand.

"You actually possess this item?"

Ye Qingwan was slightly surprised.

Ghost Moon had roamed the Demon Realm and had told her much about the knowledge of that realm.

This was the Nether Ghost Banner.

It was one of the three great Demon Treasures of the Yunzhou Demon Realm.

Its Rank was even higher than the Black Gate.

It had the ability to strip away flesh and blood, capture living souls, and command those souls to fight. The blood fiendish Qi it emitted could also affect one's sanity and lower the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Besides that, it had many other wonderful uses.

It was a multi-functional Demon Treasure.

"Sister Ye certainly has a discerning eye. That's right, this is indeed the Nether Ghost Banner, one of the three great Demon Treasures of Yunzhou."

"Chu Jiang poses a great threat to our clan and must be eliminated."

"Naturally, we must make thorough preparations."

The Nine-tailed Demon Lord's expression was cold and stern. She had gone to great lengths to borrow this Nether Ghost Banner from that old fellow, White Ape, just to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

"With this banner, it is indeed safe!" Ye Qingwan said.

This Demon Clan had certainly prepared well.

"Then, happy cooperation!"

A faint smile flashed across the Nine-tailed Demon Lord's face.

Ye Qingwan: "Happy cooperation!"

"After we kill Chu Jiang, I will rescue Sister Ye. We, the Yunzhou Demon Clan, welcome Prodigies like Sister Ye to join our clan."

Strictly speaking, Ghost Moon's wife could no longer be considered human.

She was more like a pure demon than those human-demons from the Earth Fiend Hall.

Ye Qingwan: "Let's talk about that after we kill him."

The Nine-tailed Demon Lord nodded: "We will do this first, and then that..."

"..."

On the other side.

Chu Jiang and Immortal Master Ghost Moon were on their way to the Yan Yang Earth Cave.

This Small World was located underground, and the Yan Yang Earth Cave was located beneath the Small World. It possessed thick subterranean fire and extremely rich Yang Qi, which could suppress demons and evil beings.

The two of them sped along the way.

After three hours, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Yan Yang Earth Cave.

"The fire-attribute energy here is indeed violent!"

Chu Jiang said calmly.

However, he did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort; on the contrary, he felt extremely comfortable.

His entire Physical Body began to cheer and leap for joy.

It was as if he had arrived in heaven.

He possessed a Fire Spirit Body.

This place actually allowed his Physical Body to exert even greater power.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no time to lose. Let us go and deal with that demon first."

Ghost Moon said anxiously.

The moment he stepped into the Yan Yang Earth Cave, a sense of ominous foreboding arose, as if there was a great crisis inside.

Logically, the Soul Refining array had already been cut off, and her strength should not be recovering. Why would he have this feeling?

Sure enough.

The longer the time dragged on,

the harder it would be to deal with her.

Changes were happening at every moment.

Chu Jiang had the same feeling. After his cultivation of the Star Soul Guidance reached the third level, he could perceive some invisible dangers.

This Yan Yang Earth Cave.

Indeed had dangers.

If one were to classify the danger levels.

Ordinary: Low threat, easily handled.

Dangerous: Some danger, but not fatal; can be resolved with full effort.

Extremely Dangerous: Risk of serious injury, requires a high price to survive.

This Yan Yang Earth Cave already had the difficulty of the second level.

It was difficult.

But to him.

It was not a big problem.

A bit harder to deal with than the Eight-Eyed Ghost King.

But his strength was even stronger than before he killed the Eight-Eyed Ghost King.

Coupled with the bonus of the Fire Spirit Body in the Yan Yang Earth Cave, his strength could almost rival a Peerless Grandmaster at the Peak.

"Let's go, go see your old friend!"

Chu Jiang said, and then entered the Yan Yang Earth Cave together with Ghost Moon.

The Yan Yang Earth Cave was only the size of a small town, and the two soon arrived in front of the Purple Sun Demon Locking Array.

"Oh no!"

"She has already escaped!"

Ghost Moon looked at the empty Purple Sun Demon Locking Array, horrified.

Chu Jiang immediately looked into the Demon Locking Array; it was empty.

Ye Qingwan had lost the supply from the Soul Refining array; how did she escape? Relying on herself alone was clearly impossible.

Her daughter?

Even more impossible.

She had already been seriously injured by him.

She couldn't recover in a short while.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you've made this trip in vain. This demon has escaped, and I fear it will harm the common people in the future."

"It is all my fault!"

Ghost Moon was filled with grief and indignation. No matter how much he rushed, he was still a step too late.

He was just one step away.

He tried to save his wife, only to create a demon, and now, the demon had escaped from his hands.

Why did the heavens have to torture him so?

Damn it.

Chu Jiang's eyes flickered as he looked somewhere.

Something was wrong.

It was an illusion!

"You are courting death!"

Chu Jiang suddenly stomped on the ground, and instantly thunder and fire rose up, sweeping in all directions.

The environment shattered into pieces.

The surrounding scene changed again.

It was no longer empty; several figures appeared instantly.

Behind Ghost Moon, a sinister claw was quietly grabbing toward his body.

A bolt of thunderous power tore through the Void Realm, directly shattering the sinister ghost claw.

Subsequently.

Ghost Moon was pulled over by him with a wave of his hand.

"An illusion?"

Ghost Moon came to his senses at this moment and looked at the three figures in the sky: one was human, one looked like a demon, and the other was a strange, pure demon.

Ye Qingwan did not have any treasure to create illusions; her only Spiritual Artifact was that Black Gate. Clearly, this treasure that created the illusion came from the third demon.

The Nine-tailed Demon Lord's alluring posture had faded, and her whole body emitted a bone-chilling coldness. "Chu Jiang, I didn't expect your strength to have grown to this point. I truly cannot let you live!"

She held the Nether Ghost Banner and looked silently at Chu Jiang.

In less than three months, he could rival a Peerless Grandmaster.

Such talent was too astonishing.

Within a year.

This child would probably break through to the Ultimate Realm Grandmaster and become the second Ye Lingkong.

Not to mention the land of Yunzhou, even looking at the entire Great Chu.

It was unimaginable.

"Ghost Moon, you old dog, it wasn't enough to Seal my mother; you actually brought an outsider to kill her. You wolf-hearted, dog-lunged stinking man, today I will tear you into pieces!"

Ye Wuyou said angrily, her breath fluctuating, and her eyes showing no attempt to hide her killing intent.

"Ye Qingwan is dead. What occupies her body now is a demon. This has nothing to do with you; don't force me to hurt you!"

Ghost Moon's body trembled. Although his wife had turned into a demon, Ye Wuyou was still normal.

Unless absolutely necessary.

He really did not want to kill her.

"Ghost Moon, don't put on an act. Let's see the real skills under our hands. Today, let's see if you kill me, this demon, or if I slaughter you, this heartless man!"

Ye Qingwan said coldly.

Just at this moment.

Chu Jiang's voice broke through this war of words. His words carried a hint of mockery and arrogance: "It seems you are all done speaking. Can I kill you all now?"

"Arrogant!"

"You are courting death!"

"Chu Jiang, in a moment, I will make you kneel at my feet and become my blood slave!"

Ye Wuyou, Ye Qingwan, and the Nine-tailed Demon Lord were furious. Chu Jiang's words were too arrogant; he didn't put the three of them in his eyes at all.

The three of them attacked almost simultaneously.

"Kill!"

Chu Jiang's expression was cold and stern. He swung his blade, the blade light like lightning, tearing through the sky.

A shocking blade aura illuminated the entire cave.
