31: Demonic minions! Activate the Demon-Slaying Sword!

Even Nangong Jing, who was currently protecting everyone, cast a look of regret.

What a pity.

She had originally thought that her genius friend had the best chance of gaining the Demon Subduing Sword's recognition and the right to wield it...

Never mind, it's fate.

With multiple Meng Yuns providing protection, the chances of overcoming danger would be greater.

Time passed by second by second.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

There were no disturbances, everything was peaceful, which allowed Nangong Jing to relax slightly and let out a soft breath.

It seemed that this exploration of the ruins should be completed safely.

Just as she was thinking this, ten thousand li away, where no one could perceive them, overwhelming and bizarre shadows were surging forward densely.

Like a surging tide.

Meng Yun's ears twitched, and his body instantly shot into the sky, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

Of course, he saw nothing.

Meng Yun did not give up. Unnoticed, he activated the Calculating Heaven and Deducing Earth secret art.

An profound wave spread out, and the aura of ten thousand li in every direction appeared within his perception, with nowhere to hide.

Meng Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

The overwhelming aura was very strong.

The leading monster's strength was far above Nascent Soul.

Soul Transformation, or Body Integration?!

Just then, a Little Vegetable Dish successfully completed his learning. He opened his eyes, extremely excited:

"Miss Jing, look, I've successfully comprehended it!"

As he spoke, he activated his sword qi, and a silver light, slightly weaker than Nangong Jing's, slowly emerged from the edge of his treasured sword.

"Hmm..." Nangong Jing hesitated, then finally said tactfully, "Practice diligently."

At this moment, Meng Yun also landed on the ground. He said to Nangong Jing, "A beast tide has appeared ten thousand li away. The leader's strength is even greater than mine. Perhaps we should retreat..."

"Retreat? Are you serious, Meng Yun?" That Little Vegetable Dish wasn't happy. "You wouldn't be trying to trick us all out by spouting nonsense just because you're not qualified to control the Demon Subduing Sword, would you?

Ten thousand li away? Can you see things ten thousand li away? Why can't I?"

Meng Yun let out a cold laugh. Faced with the repeated mockery from this group of second-generation rich kids, he had already tolerated a lot: "If you want to die, I won't save you later."

Nangong Jing looked worried: "Meng Yun, did you really see it?"

Meng Yun nodded gravely.

Nangong Jing's worry deepened: "That's not a beast tide, but people, people who have fallen into demonhood.

I don't know why they came. They were the ones who plundered us back then.

Now the Tianjian Dynasty has become ruins, and they still refuse to let go..."

Seeing Nangong Jing fall into emotion, Meng Yun spoke at the right time: "We can discuss this topic outside. We should leave now."

"Leave? Why should we leave?" The other two Little Vegetable Dishs also opened their eyes, each with a sword, their silver sword light flickering erratically.

Clearly, they had all successfully comprehended, and were at the peak of their confidence.

If they weren't allowed to try to control the Demon Subduing Sword, if they weren't allowed to show off their power, they would absolutely not leave.

"If you want to die, I won't accompany you." Meng Yun sensed the bizarre human tide, which was now within eight thousand li.

If they didn't leave soon, the Truth Gate exit might be submerged by them.

If they were to pass through the gate and arrive in reality...

The six of them would be historical sinners!

"Meng Yun, did you really sense it?"

Zhou Yinhe was the last to wake up. As the strongest, it was clear that as he aged, his comprehension was starting to fall behind.

He looked at Meng Yun, his face filled with worry.

"Seven thousand li away." Meng Yun nodded gravely: "Let's go, I'm worried that a Soul Transformation stage might appear."

"Soul Transformation..."

A hint of gravity also appeared on Zhou Yinhe's face. He calmed his mind and sensed, but still did not perceive anything.

He cast an inquiring gaze at Nangong Jing, who also shook her head with a bewildered expression.

Of the three Nascent Souls, two had no perception whatsoever.

Zhou Yinhe thought for a moment, then quickly made up his mind: "Who agrees to leave?"

Meng Yun was the first to step forward, but after looking around at everyone, he found that only Nangong Jing hesitantly raised her hand.

Two to four.

The answer was already clear.

Zhou Yinhe looked a little ashamed: "Sorry, Meng Yun, I've been stuck at the peak of Nascent Soul for many years, and this is also my..."

"No need to explain." Meng Yun waved his hand, not caring.

Just a desire for strength, nothing to do with right or wrong.

Zhou Yinhe took out his longsword, and a rich silver light shot into the sky, even more refined and pure than Nangong Jing's sword qi!

If one were to ask who among the few present was most likely to wield a spirit artifact, Zhou Yinhe undoubtedly had the highest probability!

Four thousand li.

Meng Yun's eyes lowered: "Since that's the case, you four should hurry. Nangong Jing and I will provide support for you.

Of course, if we can't defeat them, we will retreat on our own."

If there was real danger, then life and death would be left to fate.

Meng Yun wouldn't risk his own life for a group of people with different aspirations.

Moreover, they were going to get treasure, and Meng Yun himself couldn't even get a drop!

"Thanks." Zhou Yinhe's face showed a hint of shame, then he took the lead, transforming into a streak of light with the three Little Vegetable Dishs and departing.

"Director Zhou, why waste words with him!"

"Exactly, who doesn't have a few Nascent Souls in their family!"

"Hurry, hurry, whoever gets there first gets to try first!"

Meng Yun and Nangong Jing waited in place, exchanging glances.

"I never thought that the person who trusted me the most would be you."

"Because we're friends," Nangong Jing said matter-of-factly, "Even if I didn't trust you, I would unconditionally support you."

Meng Yun nodded silently.

One thousand li.

But with the naked eye, no fluctuations could still be seen.

Zhou Yinhe intentionally held back, so the Little Vegetable Dish who first comprehended the skill was the first to arrive at the Demon Subduing Sword.

"Then I'll go first?" He rubbed his hands, his face full of anticipation.

"Hurry up, if you can't do it, get down!" The other two Little Vegetable Dishs urged.

The Little Vegetable Dish placed his hand on the Demon Subduing Sword and silently circulated the Demon Subduing Swordplay.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

There was no reaction.

Instead, the Little Vegetable Dish's own face grew paler, as if his entire life force was draining away.

In great alarm, he quickly let go, collapsing onto the ground, panting with lingering fear.

"I'll rest for a bit, you guys..."

Swoosh—

A crimson scimitar abruptly emerged from the void, piercing directly into the Little Vegetable Dish's chest from behind.

He looked down in disbelief, the scimitar was gone, and a large, gushing hole bled profusely, his life force rapidly draining away.

"Damn it..."

Even his curse became weak.

In the last moment of his passing life, his thought was:

So, everything Meng Yun said was true...

Zhou Yinhe's expression changed drastically:

"I'll cover you, quickly sense and get the Demon Subduing Sword, then killing them will be easy!"

Terrifying energy waves swept out. Although Zhou Yinhe couldn't see the hidden enemies, no monster dared to approach him for a while.

It's Demonic Seed Red Line!

Meng Yun instantly understood, only the Demonic Seed's minions had the ability to hide in the void!

With Calculating Heaven and Deducing Earth augmenting him, Meng Yun's fists roared, easily striking down one fallen demonized human after another. This display made Nangong Jing's eyes light up repeatedly.

Under the assault of the three Nascent Souls, the remaining two Little Vegetable Dishs were in a flurry, but none of them could successfully control the Demon Subduing Sword.

They couldn't even budge it an inch!

"I'll do it!" Zhou Yinhe cleared a void around him and instantly slammed his hand onto the hilt of the colossal sword.

The incredibly pure Demon Subduing Swordplay was activated, and Zhou Yinhe gritted his teeth, letting out a loud roar!

"Rise!!!"

The Demon Subduing Sword, which no one could move, actually began to slowly shake off dust and gradually ascend into the air!

"It's moving, it's moving!" The two Little Vegetable Dishs' faces lit up with joy:

"Director Zhou, well done, we're all saved!"

"Hahaha, I really don't know what use it was bringing that Meng Yun along!"

Zhou Yinhe's face also showed joy. He raised his arm, and the Demon Subduing Sword began to vibrate violently. Ancient dust and grime instantly peeled off, revealing its incredibly sharp true appearance.

Noticing this fluctuation, Meng Yun and Nangong Jing also looked over in unison.

Nangong Jing's expression was complex: "It seems the Demon Subduing Sword is about to be wielded by Zhou Yinhe."

She didn't notice at all that Meng Yun's expression at this moment had become incredibly peculiar.

Oh, this...

Isn't this the wooden sword he casually carved during his third simulation?

Do you cultivation realms just casually infringe on others' design patents?

As Meng Yun watched, the Demon Subduing Sword's movement suddenly stalled. The terrifying aura that had been overwhelming instantly died down.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the few people, the Demon Subduing Sword shot into the sky, breaking free from Zhou Yinhe's control, and then plunged down fiercely towards the ground!

The target of its descent was none other than Meng Yun!
