Chapter 1275
Danger is Coming
When the Red Flame Phoenix saw the corpse of the Demon King and the Demon Spirit Treasure handed to it by Yan Siyi, although it was tempted, it did not take them.
"If it weren't for the help of fellow Taoists this time, our border city would have been destroyed in a few days."
"This is a great favor to our clan."
"Besides, I contributed the least this time. Under such circumstances, how can I share so much of the benefits? I should even give you some gifts as a thank you."
After saying that, it even took out some one or two kilograms of red spiritual iron from its storage bag, and handed it to Yan Siyi and others with some pain.
"These spiritual irons are fourth-level red flame precious irons that I tempered with my fourth-level precious fire. They contain the power of red flames and are good materials for refining fire-attributed spiritual treasures. It's just that the quantity is a little small, so I hope you don't mind."
Seeing this, Yan Siyi and others couldn't help but think that this monster was quite capable of causing trouble.
Although one or two kilograms of red flame iron is indeed a bit too little.
Logically, at least ten kilograms of precious iron is needed to be the main material for refining a fourth-level spiritual treasure.
But this thing is rare after all, and it is very valuable. Moreover, it is a thank-you gift, so it is a free gift and a good profit.
To this end, they simply exchanged a few polite words with the Red Flame Fire Phoenix, took the precious irons, and privately divided all the wealth from the two Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Kings killed in this battle.
Since Old Master Tianxing made little contribution, he only got a fourth-grade low-grade spiritual treasure.
Yan Siyi and other True Lords of the Ling family, who made the greatest contributions, obtained the corpses and souls of the two monsters, as well as the three remaining fourth-grade low-grade spiritual treasures of the two monsters.
And the processing method was the same as before. The monster's flesh and blood was used to cook spiritual food, and the soul was given to the Ghost Fairy Lamp to cultivate into a spiritual ghost. However, Ling gave a part of his soul to the Ghost Fairy Lamp as the fee for helping to cultivate the spiritual ghost. As for the spiritual treasures obtained, they were given to the group of spiritual ghosts under his command.
It is also worth mentioning that the Nascent Soul stage Xutian Demon Flame Tiger that Yan Siyi and others had assassinated before did not help because Old True Lord Tianxing, so the Nascent Soul and corpse of the monster, as well as the two fourth-grade mid-level spiritual treasures on its body, all belonged to the Ling family.
In this way, after supporting Tianxing Pavilion in destroying Xiongcheng and supporting the Maple Leaf Li family, the Ling family obtained four Nascent Soul corpses of monster beasts, three Nascent Souls of monster beasts, and eight fourth-level spiritual treasures.
Although the monster's corpse and Nascent Soul did not immediately turn into Ling's food, they only increased Ling's combat power.
But those spiritual treasures have fallen into the hands of the five spiritual ghosts of the family. As long as they are given time to be refined, it won't be long before the overall strength of the Ling family will increase by more than 50%. By then, even if some trump cards are not used, it is estimated that the Ling family will be able to rival the powerful Yuanying Perfection masters.
It is precisely for this reason that Yan Siyi feels extremely at peace.
"Sure enough, fighting to support fighting is the fastest way to increase combat power."
But at this moment, she suddenly felt a strange movement in her arms. She was a little surprised, and immediately reached out and took out a communication mirror with a glowing light from her arms.
As spiritual power flowed into it, the face of Ling Lihao, the fourth-level talisman master stationed at the Golden Wing Mountain, the border mountain of the family, appeared on the mirror.
Yan Siyi also learned from him that the family was being targeted by a Nascent Soul Perfection-level Xutian Demon Flame Tiger, and that for some unknown reason, the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger was rapidly heading towards the Maple Leaf Li family.
"This disaster has finally come."
Yan Siyi had actually anticipated this. She had even guessed this would happen when she summoned the ghosts in her family and used the Ghost Fairy Lamp as her trump card to kill the demon kings who invaded the Golden Wing Mountain.
After all, the Black Dragon Lake clan, who are in an advantageous position, would never allow any unexpected events to happen on the battlefield under their command, which would affect the war situation.
Afterwards, she informed all the True Lords present about this matter.
The family's ghost cultivators Ling Pengxing and others were fine, but Old True Lord Tianxing and the Maple Leaf Li family's protective spiritual stone, the Red Flame Phoenix, were a little panicked.
The Red Flame Phoenix asked Yan Siyi timidly.
"Madam Ling, you are the strongest this time. You are even stronger than the Moon Shadow Wolf King in the Moon Shadow Secret Realm."
"Therefore, I will respect you."
"Now, what should we do?"
Although the Moon Shadow Secret Realm is hidden, it was the old True Lord Tianxing from the Tianxing Pavilion who discovered this secret realm.
Afterwards, because the old True Lord Tianxing considered that the secret realm was too large and the Tianxing Pavilion under his command would not be able to take advantage of it, he called on the familiar Ling family and the Maple Leaf Li family.
Eventually, the three families took it together and divided the Moon Shadow Secret Realm.
In fact, the Maple Leaf Li family and the Tianxing Pavilion also obtained the Moonlight Wolf Clan's method of condensing the Moonlight Infant from the cowardly Moonlight Wolf King.
But that’s about it.
At that time, only Ling Pengyun, who possessed the primordial energy and was particularly sensitive to the power of the first sun, discovered that this clan still had signs of gathering the power of the first sun. After some private questioning, Ling Pengyun obtained another equally powerful method of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage from the Moon Shadow Wolf King, the First Yang Condensing Infant method.
He even got the Moon Shadow Wolf Clan's idea of the Sun and Moon Condensing Infant Method which was still in their imagination.
It was based on this that Ling Pengyun perfected this method and laid the foundation for the rise of his family.
Putting aside her distracting thoughts, Yan Siyi felt particularly satisfied when she saw that the Red Flame Phoenix had elevated her status, and she replied.
“Although the demon king who has reached the perfection of the Nascent Soul is very strong, even if they are combined together, I don’t think they can defeat him.”
"But as long as you are willing to join our clan and the Tianxing Pavilion's plan to liberate various small battlefields and accompany the Yuanyings from various places to support the front line of Sanxianfang City, our clan is willing to sacrifice our lives to help the nobles garrison this border city."
"Of course, if you don't agree, please forgive me for being unable to help you."
After hearing this, Chiyan Huofeng finally understood the source of Yan Siyi and others' inexplicable support for their family.
'It turns out that everything is because of this.'
"But how can this Madam Ling be so bold?"
During the last chaos, although Yan Siyi's husband Ling Pengyun also took the lead in resolving the small battlefield and led the team to support the front line of Sanxianfang City, Ling Pengyun's cultivation and strength are not comparable to what Yan Siyi can do now.
Even the three Yan Siyi combined would probably not be able to defeat Ling Pengyun at that time. After all, Ling Pengyun had already demonstrated his powerful ability to kill a demon king in the late Nascent Soul stage in an instant.
'A heroine!'
After thinking about it carefully, it couldn't help but sigh, and then it looked at the relatively unfamiliar Ling Pengcheng and the ghost cultivator Ling Pengxing behind Yan Siyi.
"I think that Madam Ling's boldness must have something to do with these two Daoists. After all, the last time Daoist Ling Pengyun led the team to cause trouble, the Ling family only had him and Madam Ling, two Nascent Souls."
But how could it know that the Ling family was simply not given the opportunity to demonstrate their strength.
You know, at that time, the Ling family already had several spiritual ghosts on hand, and even the ghost cultivator Ling Pengxing had entered the Nascent Soul stage.
After thinking a lot, the Red Flame Phoenix considered that although Yan Siyi's plan was dangerous, it could still provide a glimmer of hope, so it agreed to it.
"The plan to resolve the small battlefield and support the front line is related to the righteousness of the entire Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World. Although I am a demon, my heart is for the righteousness, so I should naturally join in this matter."
"But the Nascent Soul Perfection Demon King that was attracted by our movement this time has a very high cultivation level. I wonder if Madam Ling has any trump card that can resolve it?" "If not, I'm afraid we will all be trapped to death by that demon in Maple Leaf City, which is on the border of our clan. How can we stir up chaos in the righteous path by then?"
Yan Siyi said with some confidence.
"Since you have agreed to join the plan to stir up chaos, everything will be easy to discuss. As for how to resolve the current crisis, we just need to wait and see."
Upon hearing this, the Maple Leaf Li family's guardian beast, the Red Flame Phoenix, moved its eyes slightly and made some guesses in its mind.
"Could it be that fellow Daoist Ling Pengyun of the Ling Clan is in the dark?"
The old True Lord of Tianxing Pavilion, who was unaware of the details, also made the same guess.
This incident also made them both feel a little relieved, after all, Ling Pengyun's strength was extraordinary.
It is possible that if Ling Pengyun was really here, he could lead everyone to resolve this crisis.
Afterwards, everyone entered Maple Leaf City together.
Although the city defense formation in this city is only at the lower fourth level, it is a relatively comprehensive dual-purpose offensive and defensive formation, so it can be considered quite good.
Now that everyone is here, it will be safer to deal with the next crisis.
As time goes by,
A few hours later.
Everyone saw an extremely fast beam of light coming from afar, and when they used their pupil techniques to observe, its figure immediately appeared.
It was a strange tiger that was only about ten feet long, but had black hair all over its body. It looked extremely evil, but it had a domineering aura.
And that person was naturally the old demon Xu Jin who had just rushed over from the Ling family's border city Jinchi Mountain. He used a profound pupil technique and with just a simple glance at Maple Leaf City, he saw through the cover of the city defense formation and observed everything that was happening inside the city.
"The little Maple Leaf Li family actually has six Nascent Souls?"
"It seems that the previous speculation that there was a group of people secretly causing chaos is indeed true."
Then, its gaze fixed on Yan Siyi.
"Ling's Yan Siyi?"
"Sure enough, the Ling family, which has always been relatively strong, has participated in the various minor disturbances this time."
But what surprised it was that, except for Yan Siyi, Tianxing Old True Lord of Tianxing Pavilion, and the Red Flame Phoenix of the Maple Leaf Li family, the other three Nascent Souls, the Moon Shadow Wolf King, the ghost cultivator Ling Pengxing, and Ling Pengcheng who possessed the Golden Saint Body of Morality were not among the righteous Nascent Souls of the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world as recorded by the Black Dragon Lake clan.
"But where did that ghost cultivator, that wolf demon, and that strange middle-aged male cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage come from?"
"Is it the hidden hand of the righteous way of the Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World, or is it from those God-transforming forces?"
“Also, there is something indescribably strange about the aura between that wolf demon and that righteous Yuanying.”
But after a careful inspection, it did not find anything strange about the Moon Shadow Wolf King and Ling Pengcheng.
And this is all thanks to Ling Pengyun.
Because the Moon Shadow Wolf King and Ling Pengcheng entered the Nascent Soul stage with the help of the Moonlight Condensing Infant method and the Sun and Moon Condensing Infant method respectively, their paths are actually different from those of ordinary cultivators. Correspondingly, their original auras are also different.
This matter is really eye-catching. If you don't take action, you can use the method of concealing your breath to cover it up, but once you take action, your aura will inevitably leak out.
By then, as long as the observer is not stupid, he can basically guess that both of them have mastered the new path to the Nascent Soul stage.
This is particularly inconvenient.
To this end, Ling Pengyun spent many years of energy and came up with a special way to resolve the matter.
That is to modify the practice methods of Moon Shadow Wolf King and Ling Pengcheng, and use a special spiritual energy circulation route to gradually cover their foundation with spiritual energy, so as to conceal the original breath and make them look like ordinary cultivators.
Only a great demon like the old demon Xu Jin, who has reached the perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, could discover the strangeness between the two of them through advanced pupil techniques. If his cultivation level was lower, he probably wouldn't be able to discover anything.
But the old demon Xujin didn't know this secret after all, so no matter how it observed the Moon Shadow Wolf King and Ling Pengcheng, it did not find the source of the strangeness in them. It just thought that they had practiced some special methods.
It is precisely because of this that it is a little more wary of the two.
Afterwards, when it came within 100,000 miles of Maple Leaf City, it directly launched several powerful attacks on Maple Leaf City.
And this distance is where its spiritual consciousness can cover.
Yan Siyi and the others were slightly startled. After all, the spiritual awareness of cultivators like them in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul could only cover a few tens of thousands of miles around them at most.
"A Nascent Soul Perfection expert is indeed extraordinary."
Yan Siyi's expression froze.
"Now it depends on whether my husband's trump cards are reliable."
Then, she greeted the Yuanyings in the city.
"Follow me and block the attack from the Nascent Soul Perfection Demon King outside the city."
As soon as she finished speaking, she summoned three fourth-grade mid-level spiritual treasures. If it weren't for the limited spiritual awareness, with the Ling family's current foundation in spiritual treasures, she would definitely be able to have more fourth-grade mid-level spiritual treasures.
It is for this reason that the basic spiritual treasures of ghost cultivators such as Ling Pengxing are also extraordinary.
As for Old Master Tianxing, he had gone through several wars and had a good family background.
Only the Red Flame Phoenix's financial resources are relatively weak, but this is not a big deal.
With the combined efforts of everyone, they were able to barely block those attacks, and this also forced out the true power of the old Xujin demon, who opened his mouth and spit out a fourth-grade, top-quality black treasure mirror.
Its name is Xutian Demon Flame Mirror, and it is one of the famous representative spiritual treasures of Xutian Demon Flame Tiger. It can transform into Xutian Demon Flame containing some corrosive power, and its power is much stronger than the ordinary Nascent Soul True Fire of the same level.
It is even said that the magic fire conjured up by the fifth-order magic mirror in the hands of the clan's ancestor who has achieved the state of being a god can directly burn the heaven and earth, which is extremely powerful.
At this moment, as the old demon Xu Jin transferred all his demonic power into the magic mirror, it suddenly transformed into countless Xu Tian magic flame fireballs, which accurately hit the spiritual treasures of Yan Siyi and others.
In addition to its great power, the magic fire that comes with it does have a corrosive effect, slowly corroding those spiritual treasures, causing them to constantly sizzle, and even some fourth-level low-grade spiritual treasures have holes on their surfaces, which is enough to show how powerful its methods are.
