720: Chapter 720 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (99)

Eastern Wasteland, God-Burying Abyss.

This was an endless abyss shrouded in gray mist. Standing at the edge and looking down, one could only see the rolling gray mist, bottomless. Eerie roars occasionally came from the mist, making one's hair stand on end.

Fairy Yuehua stood at the edge of the abyss, her white clothes looking particularly striking in the gray mist. She took out a compass and infused it with spiritual power. The compass needle spun wildly before finally pointing in a certain direction.

"It's right here." Fairy Yuehua put away the compass and leaped into the gray mist.

The gray mist immediately surged forward, trying to erode her protective spiritual light. Fairy Yuehua activated her Bright Moon Domain, and the clear moonlight formed a protective shield three zhang around her, keeping the gray mist at bay.

But the erosion of the gray mist was extremely strong, and the Bright Moon Domain was being consumed at a visible rate. Fairy Yuehua did not dare to delay and quickly descended according to the deduced path.

The further down she went, the thicker the gray mist became and the lower the visibility. Divine Sense was also greatly suppressed here, only able to extend about ten zhang. Fairy Yuehua was fully focused, not daring to be even slightly careless.

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air came from the gray mist on the left. Fairy Yuehua dodged to the side, and a dark shadow flew past her, hitting the rock wall with a dull thud.

Looking closely, it was a strange creature, shaped like a lizard but with three eyes and covered in gray scales. At this moment, it was embedded in the rock wall, struggling to crawl out.

"Mist Creature..." Fairy Yuehua's heart tightened. Ancient records stated that the gray mist in the God-Burying Abyss would erode living beings, transforming them into monsters that knew only slaughter. These monsters had no reason but were powerful and moved in groups.

As if to confirm her thoughts, pairs of crimson eyes lit up in the surrounding gray mist.

"Hiss—"

Strange hissing sounds came from all directions. Fairy Yuehua no longer hesitated and summoned a bright moon phantom. As the cold moonlight swept across, the approaching Mist Creatures let out shrill screams and turned into fly ash.

But more Mist Creatures surged forward, one after another.

Fairy Yuehua fought while retreating, following the path downward. There were more and more Mist Creatures, and she had to frequently cast Spells, consuming her spiritual power very quickly.

Three hours later, Fairy Yuehua finally escaped the pursuit of the Mist Creatures, but her spiritual power was mostly exhausted. She found a relatively safe rock crevice, set up a Concealment Formation, and sat cross-legged to recover.

"I've only gone less than a hundred miles deep, and it's already so dangerous." Fairy Yuehua took a Medicinal Pill, her heart heavy.

According to records, the chaos green lotus grows in the deepest part of the God-Burying Abyss, at least several thousand miles further down. At her current rate of consumption, the Medicinal Pills she brought would not last until then.

"I must speed up and reduce combat." Fairy Yuehua made a decision.

After resting, she set off again. This time, she no longer engaged with the Mist Creatures, avoiding them when possible and only ending things quickly when she couldn't.

After descending another five hundred miles, the color of the mist began to change, gradually turning from gray to dark gray, and finally almost black. The black mist's erosion was even stronger; the consumption rate of the Bright Moon Domain was three times what it was before.

Fairy Yuehua had to increase her spiritual power output, her face growing paler and paler.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from ahead. Fairy Yuehua's heart skipped a beat. Besides her, there was actually someone else in the God-Burying Abyss?

She concealed her aura and quietly approached. Rounding a rock wall, the scene before her made her pupils shrink.

She saw a relatively open area ahead where two groups of people were in a fierce battle. One side consisted of three black-robed Cultivators, their bodies exuding a cold aura—clearly people of the Demonic Path. The other side consisted of four Righteous Path Cultivators who, judging by their clothing, were from the Xuantian Sect, Lingyun Sword Sect, and Zixiao Sect.

Several corpses already lay on the ground, both from the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path.

"The Seal location of the Blood Fiend Demon Lord is not for you hypocrites to touch!" A black-robed old man sneered, waving his hand to strike out a beam of blood light, sending a Zixiao Sect Cultivator flying.

"Devil Head, do not be so arrogant!" A Xuantian Sect Elder shouted angrily, summoning a copper mirror that shone with brilliant golden light, illuminating the black-robed old man.

"The Demon Slaying Assembly is about to be held, yet you demonic remnants still dare to show yourselves. You're looking for death!" A Lingyun Sword Sect Sword Cultivator's long sword was like a rainbow as it slashed toward another Black-Robed Person.

Fairy Yuehua hid in the shadows, her thoughts spinning.

The Demon Slaying Assembly was for discussing how to deal with the Demonic Path and to strengthen the Blood Fiend Demon Lord's Seal. But these people of the Demonic Path had actually appeared in the God-Burying Abyss. Could it be...

"Could the Seal location of the Blood Fiend Demon Lord be right here in the God-Burying Abyss?" Fairy Yuehua was shocked.

If that were the case, things would be complicated. The Demonic Path people appearing here were obviously trying to break the Seal and release the Blood Fiend Demon Lord. As for the Righteous Path Cultivators, they might have tracked the Demonic Path here, or perhaps...

Fairy Yuehua looked at the center of the battlefield, where there was an inconspicuous stone platform covered in Seal runes. At this moment, the runes were dim, clearly showing that the Seal had loosened.

"I must stop them." Fairy Yuehua made a prompt decision and revealed herself.

"Bright Moon in the Sky!"

A bright moon rose behind her, and cold moonlight poured down, even dispersing the black mist a bit. Both sides of the battle were startled and temporarily stopped.

"Fairy Yuehua?" The Xuantian Sect Elder recognized her, both surprised and delighted. "Why are you here?"

"I tracked the Demonic Path here," Fairy Yuehua said simply, her gaze sweeping over the three black-robed people. "Are you remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect?"

The black-robed old man sneered, "Fairy Yuehua, I've heard much of your name. However, today's matter has nothing to do with your Qingyun Sect. I advise you not to meddle in things that don't concern you."

"The Demonic Path plagues the world; everyone has a duty to eliminate it." Fairy Yuehua's tone was icy, and the light of the bright moon phantom intensified.

"Since you're looking for death, don't blame us!" A ruthless glint flashed in the black-robed old man's eyes. He exchanged looks with the other two, and they attacked simultaneously.

"Surging Sea of Blood!"

"Ten Thousand Souls Heart-Devouring!"

"Bone Demon Descending!"

Three terrifying Demonic Techniques blasted toward Fairy Yuehua. The Xuantian Sect Elder and the others' faces changed drastically. These three were actually Nascent Soul Stage demonic giants!

Fairy Yuehua's expression remained unchanged as she formed hand Seals.

"Nine Heavens Bright Moon, Purifying All Evil!"

The bright moon phantom suddenly expanded, turning into a real bright moon. Wherever the moonlight passed, the sea of blood evaporated, the resentful souls dissipated, and the bone demon crumbled. The three black-robed old men all spat out blood and were sent flying.

"You... you've actually touched the threshold of Soul Transformation!" The black-robed old man was terrified.

Fairy Yuehua did not answer. The bright moon turned again, intending to completely purify the three.

"Go!" The black-robed old man gritted his teeth and crushed a blood-colored jade talisman. A blood light enveloped the three, and they vanished instantly.

"Blood Escape Talisman." The Xuantian Sect Elder's face was grim. "We let them get away."

Fairy Yuehua withdrew the bright moon and looked at the stone platform. "How is the Seal?"

"Fortunately, the Fairy arrived in time. The Seal has only loosened and hasn't been completely destroyed." The Xuantian Sect Elder breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands. "Thank you for your assistance, Fairy. May I ask why you came to the God-Burying Abyss?"

Fairy Yuehua had already prepared her explanation. "With the Demon Slaying Assembly approaching, I came ahead to investigate the movements of the Demonic Path. I didn't expect them to find the Seal location."

"Yes, if we hadn't tracked them here, it might have led to a great disaster." The Lingyun Sword Sect Sword Cultivator said with lingering fear.

"This place is not safe to stay for long; the Demonic Path might have further plans," Fairy Yuehua said. "I will escort you out."

"Then, Fairy, you..." (End of Chapter)
