Chapter 1289
Pitfalls
Once this matter was settled, the entire fleet of flying boats headed directly towards the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect.
However, the Nascent Soul female disciple of the Saint Demon Old Man did not follow him. Instead, she took the opportunity to leave this place and went straight to the largest Angry Whale Market in the Angry Whale Sea, another large sea area under the command of the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect.
A few days later, he met the Red Crab Demon King who was seeking cooperation through communication means.
"My sect has agreed to what you proposed, and our people have already set out for the Muyuan Immortal Sect's headquarters. Within half a month, my sect will definitely launch a general attack on that place. By then, it will be time for the two of us to attack the Wrathful Whale Market that you have set your sights on, as planned."
"And I came here this time to help you break through the Wrathful Whale Market. I hope you won't despise the fact that we have so few people to support us."
The female disciple was especially polite to the Scarlet Crab Demon King.
When the Crimson Crab Demon King heard this, he naturally understood that the Holy Demon Sect sent this person here, probably just to help break through the Angry Whale Market.
In all likelihood, they were also monitoring whether they would really attack the Angry Whale Market, to prevent the Holy Demon Sect from getting tricked.
I guess there are some deeper meanings as well.
After all, this woman is particularly extraordinary.
Not only is he the direct disciple of the Saint Demon Old Man, but it is also said that he is extremely powerful, having already reached the limit of the early Nascent Soul stage, and has inherited the Saint Demon Old Man's lineage.
There are even rumors that his strength is actually second only to the Holy Demon Old Man who has reached the Perfect Nascent Soul Stage and the Shankui Demon Lord who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage of the Holy Demon Sect, and that he is ranked third in strength among the five demon lords of the sect.
You have to know that she is the youngest among the five Nascent Souls of the Holy Demon Sect. She is only four or five hundred years old, and she still has at least five or six hundred years to go before she reaches the Nascent Soul stage.
And according to his cultivation speed, he can use his remaining lifespan to enter the middle or even late Nascent Soul stage.
There is even a chance to enter the realm of Nascent Soul perfection.
Undoubtedly, he will become a giant in the magic world in the future, and now he can be considered a talented demon king.
Therefore, the Crimson Crab Demon King couldn't help but be more wary of it.
However, on the surface, the Crimson Crab Demon King just smiled indifferently, and then he continued.
"Your sect is willing to help me contain the Nascent Soul cultivator in the Muyuan Immortal Sect's headquarters, which is already a blessing for me."
"Under such circumstances, your sect is willing to send fellow Taoists to help me conquer the Wrathful Whale Market. I am truly grateful."
Upon hearing this, the female disciple's face immediately showed a hint of satisfaction.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more sentences and then hid nearby together, waiting for news from the main force of the Holy Demon Sect.
…………
After half a month.
In the depths of Muyuan Island, the headquarters of the Muyuan Immortal Sect, a flying sword suddenly rose into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a figure followed and flew out.
And this person is none other than the current leader of the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect, Elder Mu Yuan. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he has even reached his limit. He is only one step away from entering the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Although his cultivation is just average among all the major incarnation forces, if one only looks at the situation of the righteous cultivation world in the Boundless Sea, his cultivation is enough to rank among the top ten.
It is precisely for this reason that this sect has become one of the righteous sects in the world of immortal cultivation in the Boundless Sea.
At this moment, he looked at the mysterious flying sword beside him that was constantly flashing fierce light, and his brows suddenly frowned.
'I didn't expect the Holy Demon Sect to come again.'
Although he had never seen the hands of the Holy Demon Sect, that flying sword was the famous demon-slaying sword of the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect. It was refined with a special material and the blood and souls of countless demons, thus becoming a special existence.
Even though it is ten thousand miles away, it can still subtly feel the breath of evil.
And now, he felt that the cultivators of the Holy Demon Sect had already stepped within a hundred thousand miles of the Muyuan Immortal Sect.
This distance is extremely close for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
It is estimated that it will only take a few breaths to cross.
It was for this reason that Elder Mu Yuan immediately took out the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect's protective formation disk and used it to control the protective formation to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and maintain the operation of the formation.
In an instant, the entire Muyuan Island was covered by a huge, thick curtain of light.
When old man Mu Yuan saw this, he felt a little relieved.
"With this formation in place, even if the Holy Demon Sect comes out in full force, it will be difficult for them to capture our sect. And the man from the Xinghai Pavilion has been patrolling several nearby sea areas. By then, our sect can easily hold out until they can come to support us."
That formation was the fourth-grade top-grade formation within the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect. It originated from the Xinghai Pavilion branch behind old man Mu Yuan. Otherwise, based on the foundation of the Xinghai Pavilion, it would be difficult to possess this formation.
This kind of formation is not only of high grade, but also powerful. It is even a dual-purpose offensive and defensive formation.
In this way, as long as this formation has enough spiritual energy to help, it will be enough to burst out the defense and attack power comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul cultivator.
This formation can even unleash an attack comparable to the Nascent Soul Perfection level, but this method is difficult to use continuously for a short period of time.
But even so, this formation is still extraordinary.
Then, he slapped the storage bag on his waist and took out a high-level communication mirror.
As spiritual power flowed into it, Ling Pengyun, who had been sent by Xinghai Pavilion to patrol the five nearby sea areas for safety some time ago, suddenly appeared on the mirror.
But strangely enough, Ling Pengyun seemed to have already known the current situation of the Mu Yuan Xian Sect, and asked with a smile.
"Brother Mu Yuan, is your sect being targeted by the Holy Demon Sect?"
Old man Mu Yuan at the other end was not surprised to hear him call him "senior brother". Instead, he showed some kindness on his face.
Although Elder Mu Yuan is the leader of the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect, his real identity is a Nascent Soul elder of a certain branch of the Xinghai Pavilion. It's just that for various reasons in his early years, he was sent to the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect by that branch to serve as the leader, manage the affairs of the sect, develop the sect as much as possible, and reap profits for the branch behind him.
At the same time, he can also take this opportunity to collect enough resources for cultivation.
It is worth mentioning that Elder Mu Yuan, who originally had average aptitude in the Nascent Soul stage, was able to cultivate to his current level with the help of this small opportunity, and even has the opportunity to enter the late Nascent Soul stage.
In addition, the leaders of all the righteous Nascent Soul forces in this world of immortal cultivation are basically people from the Xinghai Pavilion, but they come from different branches.
It is precisely for this reason that conflicts arise between some righteous Nascent Soul forces.
Of course, there are also some Nascent Soul forces belonging to the same branch and faction who get along very well and have even formed an alliance long ago.
But then, Old Man Mu Yuan couldn't help feeling a little strange when he saw that Ling Pengyun seemed to have anticipated the current situation faced by the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect.
"Junior brother, how do you know that my sect is being targeted by the Holy Demon Sect?"
Ling Pengyun smiled and said simply.
“Although there are many Nascent Soul demons roaming around the nearby seas, the only real threat to your Muyuan Immortal Sect is the great enemy, the Holy Demon Sect.”
Old Man Mu Yuan thought about it and felt that it made some sense, so he followed his advice.
"Junior brother, you are truly a master at foreseeing things. However, our sect is no longer as powerful as before and is no match for the Holy Demon Sect. Therefore, I hope that you can provide us with timely support."
Ling Pengyun agreed without hesitation.
"It will happen naturally."
When old man Mu Yuan heard this, he felt relieved.
Although he was not familiar with Ling Pengyun, as they were both from Xinghai Pavilion, he had naturally heard about how powerful Ling Pengyun was.
At the same time, he was very tactful and said, "Thank you very much. I will definitely give you a generous gift later."
The Muyuan Immortal Sect is an important source of income for him. If anything unexpected happens to this sect, his future path will be over.
Furthermore, this immortal sect is, after all, the property of the branch faction behind him. If something really happens here, even if he can escape the upcoming disaster, he will definitely be punished by the branch faction.
When Ling Pengyun heard that there would be a generous reward, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"This senior brother knows how to behave."
Afterwards, the two of them had a brief conversation before closing the communication mirror.
Then, Elder Mu Yuan greeted all the monks on the island.
"The demonic path is approaching our island. Disciples in the sect must remember not to cause chaos and quickly rush to the sect's general affairs hall to receive some special war preparation spiritual items."
"........."
Although Muyuan Island is large, it is the headquarters of the Muyuan Immortal Sect, so only disciples of the Muyuan Immortal Sect are here.
When these disciples heard that the Holy Demon Sect, the number one demon sect in the world of immortal cultivation in the Boundless Ocean, had invaded, they immediately became extremely panicked.
A few years ago, at the beginning of the great chaos of the destruction of the world, the Holy Demon Sect also attacked once.
That battle was extremely brutal, and even one of the sect's Nascent Souls was killed.
If a mysterious strong man led a group of strong men to suddenly provide support and scared away the Holy Demon Sect, the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect would have ceased to exist by now.
However, the only solution for now is to stick together and keep each other warm.
Otherwise, if I escape alone, I would probably die faster.
For this reason, this group of people immediately followed the instructions of Elder Mu Yuan and rushed to the sect's general affairs hall to receive war-prepared spiritual objects.
.........
at the same time.
Somewhere in the void.
Hidden inside is a huge flying boat.
And Ling Pengyun was among them.
His face was full of murderous intent.
"It's been a long time coming, and now it's finally time to finish it."
'Now we just have to wait for the Saint Demon Sect to attack the Mu Yuan Xian Sect. In this way, I can use the power of the Mu Yuan Xian Sect to temporarily delay them, so that they won't escape again like they did a few years ago.'
Then he closed his eyes and began to sit in meditation.
The flying boat he was on was still hidden in the void, without moving at all, as if Ling Pengyun didn't care about the old man Mu Yuan's request for help.
…………
the other side.
Muyuan Immortal Sect, near Muyuan Island.
Indeed, as the Mu Yuan Xian Sect’s demon-slaying flying sword had detected, a large number of demon cultivators from the Holy Demon Sect were approaching.
As time went by, when the group of hidden demon cultivators got closer and closer to Mu Yuan Xian Sect, they were discovered by Mu Yuan Xian Sect's fourth-grade superior defense formation.
However, this group of demon cultivators were all on huge flying boats.
At a quick glance, it turned out to be a huge group of flying boats consisting of thousands of flying boats.
There are at least hundreds of thousands of demon cultivators within the group.
It is precisely for this reason that the head of the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect, old man Mu Yuan, has an extremely gloomy expression on his face.
"It looks like the main force of the Holy Demon Sect has arrived. And judging by the Holy Demon Sect's posture, I'm afraid this incident won't end well."
Then, he took into consideration that the flying boat group of the Holy Demon Sect that was attacking from outside the island was still far away from the sect, tens of thousands of miles away, and this was not a place that ordinary cultivators could attack.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the group of flying boats kept approaching.
After a while, when the group of flying boats just entered the area of 1,000 or 2,000 miles away from the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect, old man Mu Yuan immediately greeted the disciples on the island.
"All the monks in the sect, follow me to attack the invading demons."
'If we can't protect this place this time, we will not be able to escape death. On the contrary, as long as we can defend this place, we can still practice safely on the island.'
"........."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Mu Yuan immediately summoned the demon-slaying flying sword that had already revealed its ferocious edge.
Although his rank is only at the middle level of the fourth stage, he, like old man Mu Yuan, has already reached the limit of cultivation. As long as he can kill one or two Nascent Soul early stage demon cultivators or one Nascent Soul middle stage demon cultivator, he will definitely be able to cross this bottleneck.
It is precisely for this reason that he is extremely eager for this battle.
For this reason, once one of them was summoned, it immediately exploded into its strongest state.
The sword suddenly grew larger, and eventually turned into a gigantic flying sword that was six or seven thousand feet long. Its power was almost as powerful as a top-grade fourth-rank flying sword, and it could be said to be a display of the power of a demon-slaying treasure.
Then it cut through the void and swept directly towards the group of flying boats.
Although an extremely powerful fourth-grade superior joint magic formation was set up on the group of flying boats, the entire group of flying boats was protected.
But that formation is not like the Muyuan Immortal Sect's protective formation, which has spiritual veins as a supply, so its power is weaker.
Plus, the Demon-Slaying Sword is specifically designed to counter this kind of demonic methods.
To this end, with this fierce slash of the sword.
The formation was actually shaken and swayed.
Moreover, as the other cultivators in the Mu Yuan Xian Zong arrived with their attacks, the formation became even more shaking, as if the sword was about to be blown away at the next moment.
Seeing this, the Nascent Soul Perfection Saint Demon Old Man, who was in the depths of the flying boat group, frowned slightly and fixed his gaze on the demon-slaying flying sword.
'This treasure is really difficult to deal with, but it is a treasure.'
'Even this treasure has some demonic shadows. After all, ordinary spiritual treasures cannot refine the souls and flesh of demonic cultivators like this one.'
'In this case, if I can obtain it and use a special method to refine it, I may be able to transform it into a real magic item. At that time, with the help of this item's domineering power, my strength will surely be further improved.'
'And the three people in the sect, the resentful ghost, the evil spirit, and the mountain leader, have good cultivation, all of which are in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage. They can completely serve as the nourishment for the magic sword and help it reach the fourth-level upper-grade realm.'
Thinking of this, a hint of excitement appeared on the face of the old Saint Demon.
A fourth-grade, top-quality magic treasure is extremely powerful. If he can get one more, it will greatly increase the combat power of this Nascent Soul cultivator. By then, even those Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xinghai Pavilion will probably not be able to do anything to him.
But this kind of treasure is also extremely rare. Even the Holy Demon Sect, which is known as the number one demon sect in the world of immortal cultivation in the Boundless Sea, has only managed to obtain a fourth-grade top-quality magic treasure after accumulating for tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, it is said that this matter was also thanks to the help of the Red Demon Buddhist Sect, the Supreme Buddhist Cultivation World behind the Holy Demon Sect.
If it weren't for this sect, the Holy Demon Sect would probably only have some fourth-order lower-middle-grade magic treasures at most.
It is for this reason that the Saint Demon Elder has always wanted to defeat the Muyuan Immortal Sect. (End of this chapter)
