Chapter 1287
Setting up a trap
After a while, a huge flying boat appeared in the distant sky.
Its whereabouts are secretive. If it hadn't shown up on its own initiative, the Crimson Crab Demon King and the female crab in the pseudo-infant state would have found it difficult to find any trace of it.
Moreover, its speed is extremely fast, already like a beam of light.
In just a moment, it had arrived within the range of the spiritual island.
This made the pair of red crabs look deathly pale.
"There is no way to run at this distance, otherwise it won't be long before the fourth-tier flying boat catches up with us."
"But how come I ran into that God of Death even though I left the main battlefield?"
'Haven't I spread the news that this person possesses a spiritual treasure with the foundation of the God Transformation? Don't the elders of my Sea Dragon Clan who are at the late Nascent Soul stage and the perfect Nascent Soul stage and have some connection with the God Transformation ancestor of my clan plan to snatch the opportunity from him?'
The red crab demon king felt extremely helpless.
But on the surface, he did not show any hatred. Instead, he spoke to the flying boat in a flattering manner.
"I didn't expect to run into you, Fellow Daoist Ling, here. What a coincidence."
After saying that, it took out dozens of storage bags from various places on its body and handed them over.
"Fellow Daoist, these are what I have recently obtained. Although their value is average, the quantity is not bad. I hope you will not despise them, and please spare my life and my life for the sake of these spiritual objects."
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun, who was on the flying boat, couldn't help but reveal a profound smile on his brows.
"My friend is still so sensible."
"But Daoyou and your Dao partner have been causing chaos in the sea areas under my jurisdiction recently. They are no different from the enemies of the righteous path. As a Yuanying of the righteous path, how can I let them go just like that?"
"And I spent a lot of effort to track you down this time."
"As for these spiritual objects, I'm afraid they also originated from the righteous forces that you destroyed recently."
"Otherwise, with your wealth, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to come up with something like this."
The red crab demon king was exactly the same cowardly demon king that Ling Pengyun encountered at the beginning of the world-destroying chaos.
But at that time, in order to save his life, the demon king gave away all the valuables on his body, including his own spiritual treasures, and even asked his Taoist partner who was in the pseudo-infant state to bring a large number of high-level spiritual objects from the tribe to redeem his life.
It was because of those spiritual creatures that Ling Pengyun spared the life of the Red Crab Demon King.
Then again, it is precisely because this demon king has no spiritual treasure to rely on that he can hardly exert his full strength. Now that he is in the midst of a world-destroying chaos, he is in great danger.
That's why he took the risk of coming here to cause chaos, wanting to collect the flesh and blood and souls of a large number of cultivators and mortals as auxiliary materials, and relying on a hidden fourth-level spiritual iron as the main material, try to refine a fourth-level spiritual treasure.
It’s a pity that before this matter was accomplished, Ling Pengyun found him.
The reason why Ling Pengyun was able to find this demon king was naturally because of the large-scale killings that this demon king had committed recently.
According to statistics, in recent years, it has destroyed at least ten Jindan forces, dozens of foundation-building forces, and hundreds of Qi-training forces.
Probably nearly 100,000 monks and countless mortals died tragically.
Under such circumstances, Ling Pengyun actually had the intention to kill, but when he thought of another thing that had given him a headache recently, and the fact that the Red Crab Demon King was rather timid, he came up with another idea.
Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have already taken action when he sneaked to the vicinity of this place with the help of the flying boat.
The Red Crab Demon King, who was timid in nature but had reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, was imprisoned by Ling Pengyun for a period of time, so he was familiar with Ling Pengyun and saw this.
In addition, there was a deep meaning in Ling Pengyun's words, and he immediately understood.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, I really didn't know that these sea areas were the places you were patrolling. However, this wanton killing was not my intention. I was forced to do it by the sea dragon clan behind me. So I hope fellow Daoist will not blame me."
"But don't worry, I will definitely reform myself in the future. Even if the sea dragon clan forces me, I will definitely turn a blind eye and never do such things again."
"Also, fellow Daoist, I don't have any high-level spiritual items on me anymore. I'm really a little short of money."
"But if you give me some more time, I will definitely find some treasures and send them to you."
After saying that, he looked at Ling Pengyun with a bit of timidity and pleading.
When Ling Pengyun heard this, he just smiled and said.
"This matter cannot be resolved by spiritual objects. If this matter is not handled properly, I will have a hard time reporting to the Xinghai Pavilion behind me."
After saying that, he flew out of the flying boat into the air and landed on the Spirit Island. He also created a white mist nearby to block others' spiritual detection.
This incident also made the Red Crab Demon King and the pseudo-infant mother crab who had not spoken a word a little surprised.
Ling Pengyun's actions now undoubtedly mean that there are some secret things he doesn't want the other low-level cultivators of Xinghai Pavilion on the flying boat to know.
And that's exactly what happened.
"As long as you help me solve a problem, I can spare your lives."
Ling Pengyun said immediately.
"Please tell me, Daoist friend. As long as I can help, I will definitely help. Even if I can't help, I will help you at the risk of my life."
When the red crab demon king saw that there was hope for survival, his eyes lit up and he spoke immediately.
"I feel relieved when you say this."
"I think that during the years when the two Taoist friends were in chaos in the nearby sea areas, they must have heard about the news that the demon kings of the Holy Demon Sect were causing chaos here."
"And the chaos they caused was really too big. Not only did they kill a righteous Yuanying from the Muyuan Immortal Sect, but they also killed a Yuanying from the Mingshui Immortal Sect next door, a total of two Yuanyings, plus dozens of Jindan forces, hundreds of foundation-building forces, and hundreds of Qi training forces. In total, at least hundreds of thousands of cultivators died at their hands. If you calculate carefully, this loss is enough to be comparable to nearly half of the cultivators in any sea area."
"Under such circumstances, these people are indeed the ones who deserve to be killed, but the whereabouts of these demons are strange, and they are suspected to have mastered the superior breath-retaining magical power. In addition, there are five sea areas that I need to patrol, and the scope is too large."
"Plus, this group of demon cultivators often go to the more distant seas to cause chaos."
"So it will be difficult for me to find the group of demon kings who are causing trouble in this demon sect for the time being."
"For this reason, I plan to seek your help."
"I wonder if you two would be willing?"
Ling Pengyun followed.
Upon hearing this, the Crimson Crab Demon King and his Taoist companion both shuddered.
The Holy Demon Sect is the most powerful demon sect in the world of immortal cultivation in the Boundless Sea. Although there is no Deity Demon Lord in charge of it, it is said that behind it is the Red Buddha Demon Sect of the world of immortal cultivation in the Supreme Buddha Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this that this evil sect has not encountered any major incidents during the tens of thousands of years since it was established in the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world.
Gradually, the sect's foundation became stronger and stronger.
Even the Red Crab Clan, a branch of the Sea Dragon Clan, which is a Divine Demon Clan, cannot compare to it. Even if three or four of them are added together, they may not be able to match the Holy Demon Sect. This is because the Demon Sect has four or five Nascent Soul Demon Lords, and there is also a veteran Nascent Soul Perfection strongman, the Holy Demon Elder, in charge.
Under such circumstances, the Red Crab Demon King and his wife naturally did not dare to provoke them.
What's more, this world-destroying chaos was caused by the combined efforts of demonic forces from all over the world.
Strictly speaking, the demon lords of the Holy Demon Sect can be considered allies of the Red Crab Demon Lord and his wife.
Although revealing this news of the Demon Sect will not trigger some secret restrictions set up by the Sea Dragon Clan in their sea of consciousness.
But if I really agree to help Ling Pengyun, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.
Afterwards, it would have been fine if the matter had not been exposed, but as long as it was exposed, the couple would definitely be severely punished by the Sea Dragon Clan, and there was even a possibility that the Red Crab Clan behind them would be completely destroyed and expelled from the Sea Dragon Clan, a great clan that had achieved divine transformation.
For various reasons, they dared not agree easily.
As for the prohibitions, that’s a long story.
After all, the Sea Dragon Clan is a clan of divine demons, so they have a lot to consider. Long before this world-destroying war broke out, the clan's high-ranking officials had placed special restrictions in the sea of consciousness of the Red Crab Demon King and other Nascent Soul Demon Kings, to prevent them from revealing the Sea Dragon Clan's secrets or attacking other Nascent Soul members of the Sea Dragon Clan.
But this is only an internal restriction of the Sea Dragon Clan.
After all, although the Sea Dragon Clan has joined forces with other forces, in essence, the relationship between the parties is actually average.
There was even hatred between the Sea Dragon Clan and the Black Dragon Lake Clan in their early years. Under such circumstances, how could the top leaders of the Sea Dragon Clan set up restrictions and let their subordinates truly regard those forces as allies?
It is possible that when this world-destroying chaos and chaos is achieved, they will start fighting each other.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, this matter......"
The Crimson Crab Demon King was going to refuse, but he didn't know what to say.
"There are five demon kings in the Holy Demon Sect. I am willing to exchange five lives for your two. Although it seems a bit of a loss, if you, Daoist Crimson Crab, care about the overall interests of the demons and are willing to die, I have no intention of doing so."
But before it could say a few words, it was interrupted by Ling Pengyun.
Afterwards, the Red Crab Demon King and his wife saw Ling Pengyun taking out the magic treasure, and looked like he was about to take action.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, Fellow Daoist Ling, you misunderstood. We are naturally willing to help. We are willing to help......"
They were immediately startled and said quickly.
"That's right."
Ling Pengyun smiled when he heard this.
Afterwards, he set up a big plan with the Red Crab Demon King and his wife, and in order to prevent the Red Crab Demon King and his wife from taking the opportunity to set up a plan to harm him, he also left a ban in the Red Crab couple's sea of consciousness.
Although during this period the Red Crab Demon King and his wife were particularly unwilling.
But Ling Pengyun was too strong.
Several years ago, the Crimson Crab Demon King had already learned a lesson from Ling Pengyun.
At that time, he led a large number of fellow red crabs and set up a special fourth-order formation obtained from the sea dragon clan, and worked together to fight the enemy.
He also sacrificed a fourth-grade mid-level attack spiritual treasure and a fourth-grade low-level spiritual treasure.
It can be said that his strength was at its peak, but he was still defeated in just a few dozen breaths.
If it hadn't been smart and reincarnated quickly, it would have been three or four years old when it was reincarnated again this year.
In the end, the Red Crab Demon King and his wife sighed helplessly, and watched with complicated expressions as Ling Pengyun drove away in the fourth-order flying boat.
They didn't come to their senses until the flying boat disappeared.
It was the female crab that broke the peace.
"Should we report this to the higher-ups of the main clan and ask them to help dissolve the spiritual consciousness in the sea of consciousness and take the opportunity to kill Ling Pengyun?"
"He has a spiritual treasure with the foundation of the Divine Transformation. Even if it is difficult for us to obtain it, if we can help the demon kings of the main lineage obtain it, it will probably be a great achievement for us. We can get a lot of merits, and indirectly, it should be no problem to exchange it for one or two spiritual treasures."
"By then, my husband, you won't have to worry about not having a spiritual treasure anymore."
Although it is well-intentioned, this idea is also the safest way. After all, who knows whether after working for Ling Pengyun, he will remove the restrictions in their sea of consciousness and really save their lives.
But the Red Crab Demon King finally refused this matter.
"This is not right. Although Ling Pengyun's cultivation is only at the late Nascent Soul stage, his spiritual power and consciousness must be extremely strong. He should even have entered the perfect foundation building stage. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to control the Five Elements Long River, the supreme treasure of the incarnation, for a long time to fight against me."
"Under such circumstances, even if we persuade the elders in our clan who are at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage to help, it is estimated that with their abilities, it will be difficult for them to help us resolve the special restriction set by Ling Pengyun."
"Unless we seek help from our clan's God-transforming ancestor, but with our identities, how can we ever see such a being?"
"Besides, even if we saw him and persuaded him to help dissolve the restrictions in our sea of consciousness, how can we guarantee that we can take this opportunity to kill Ling Pengyun?"
“Don’t forget that he is the most talented person in Xinghai Pavilion today. He has condensed the Five Elements Nascent Soul and even obtained the treasure of the Secret Realm God Foundation when he is only in the late Nascent Soul stage. Undoubtedly, he is particularly valued by the ancestor of Xinghai Pavilion.”
"And that ancestor is much stronger than my ancestor."
The female crab sighed helplessly upon hearing this.
"If that's the case, then we'll just have to do it."
The red crab demon king nodded, then took the female crab away and headed straight for a medium-sized market nearby.
Although the defense here is extremely strong, and there is even an early Nascent Soul cultivator from the Muyuan Immortal Sect in charge, there are also many cultivators inside, even hundreds of thousands.
As long as it can be broken through, it is equivalent to a huge harvest.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the Crimson Crab Demon King and his wife took direct action.
But strangely enough, the Red Crab Demon King actually had an extra fourth-level spiritual treasure in his hand.
It was precisely for this reason that, even though the two of them seemed a little alone and weak, they were still able to suppress the market town and even severely injure the early Nascent Soul cultivator from the Mu Yuan Xian Sect who was stationed there.
But as this market town fell into danger, the only remaining Nascent Soul of the Mu Yuan Xian Sect immediately used the teleportation array and rushed from the sect’s headquarters to this market town to provide support.
The Red Crab Demon King and his wife had no choice but to retreat.
Afterwards, they hid on a deserted island and sent out a communication talisman.
A few days later, a golden elixir ghost slowly emerged from the deep sea and slowly crossed to the side of the Red Crab Demon King and his wife.
Then he began to speak human language.
"Fellow Daoist Chihong, I wonder why you and your wife are looking for my sect's Yuanying?" (End of this chapter)
