Chapter 152: Disciple of the Demon Palace
Mo Ao was not without knowledge, but he had been obsessed with formations and swordsmanship for a long time, and had little experience in alchemy and refining. He knew about ordinary medicines and utensils, but he naturally didn't know much about some remote and uncommon medicines and utensils.
"I see." After listening to Feng Hanxiao's mocking explanation, Mo Ao showed a look of realization, and didn't care about the mocking words of the eldest brother.
"In that case, after Master Jin comes out of retreat, we will ask Master to go with us to that place to check it out." Tian Qi put away the vine stem of the vine algae lotus and thought about it.
"Three senior brothers, I think this matter is still a bit inappropriate. My attainments in formations are really limited. Before leaving, my arrangement there was rather rough. I think that the second senior brother should go there first and use the formation to control it so that no one will find out the clues."
Thinking of his arrangement in the cave, Wu Yan felt that it was still a bit unsafe, so he proposed. The three of them thought about it and agreed. In that cave, there used to be a vine lotus suppressing the spiritual energy in the cave, so it was naturally impossible to see from the outside that there was an earth vein exit. Now, the vine lotus has been taken away by Wu Yan, and the spiritual energy in the cave has dissipated. Although Wu Yan temporarily sealed the cave pool with a formation plate to prevent the spiritual energy from dissipating and being noticed by others, who can guarantee that someone will accidentally break into the cave like him and discover the secret.
After Wu Yan said this, the three of them thought it made sense. So, after some discussion, the four decided that Mo Ao and Feng Hanxiao would go to the Red Stone Canyon with Wu Yan and redeploy there.
After the decision, Mo Ao got busy again. Although this will become a temporary place for the Baoxiao Sect, Mo Ao did not dare to be careless and had to prepare a set of powerful and well-concealed formations to be arranged in the Red Stone Canyon.
A few days later, the three brothers set off, leaving the Xiuzhen Gate and heading to the Red Stone Canyon. Tian Qi stayed in the Five Elements Cave because he was thinking about how to refine the rattan lotus magic weapon. However, before the three of them left, Wu Yan still recorded the map route of the Red Stone Canyon into a jade slip and left a copy for Tian Qi.
A few days later, Wu Yan led the way, and the three successfully found the entrance to the stone cave in the Red Stone Canyon. After Mo Ao arrived here, he began to survey the mountains within a radius of 20 miles around to see within what range the magic array for mountain protection and concealment would be most suitable.
Feng Hanxiao and Wu Yan entered the cave and began the project of opening up the cave with the flying sword magic weapon. This time, the three of them came prepared, and they were all in the foundation-building period, so it was natural for them to build a cave.
After half a month of hard work, an underground cave of initial scale was built in this Red Stone Canyon. Mo Ao's magic array was also successfully arranged within a radius of ten miles of the Red Stone Canyon.
In order to cover up this underground cave, the three of them opened up four connected fake caves on the red stone cliff above the stone cave.
After doing all this, the three brothers took a rest in the fake cave on the red stone cliff. After a few days of rest, they returned to the Five Elements Cave to pack up some things they had accumulated over the years and move these sundries here first.
That day, after the three of them had rested, they were about to leave. Wu Yan's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes unconsciously looked to the northwest. Feng Hanxiao and Mo Ao, who were about to use their magic weapons, also noticed something. When Wu Yan turned his head, they also looked to the west and northeast.
A strong fighting mana fluctuation came from the northwest several miles away. The three looked at each other and their expressions changed.
"Go and have a look!" Mo Ao's expression condensed, and he first used his flying sword to break through and rush forward. Feng Hanxiao and Wu Yan followed with his swords one after another.
This is still the territory of Shen State. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is vast. This place can be regarded as a remote place, but it also belongs to the jurisdiction of the Xiuzhen Sect. Fighting here is mostly related to the disciples of this sect. There are also many underground spiritual mines in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain of the Cultivation Sect, scattered in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. On the map, in a valley hundreds of miles away from the Red Rock Canyon, there is a small mine of the Cultivation Sect. Maybe there are disciples of the Cultivation Sect patrolling nearby and may be attacked.
The three of them quickly flew to the place where the fight was taking place. In the deserted valley below, there were dozens of Qi Refining disciples wearing yellow clothes, surrounding the periphery to watch the fight. On the flat ground of the deserted valley, two people in the Foundation Establishment Stage were fighting.
The two people fighting, one controlled a sword-shaped magic weapon, and the other used a strange crocodile-shaped magic weapon, and the two were fighting fiercely. The sword-shaped magic weapon of the first person had been bitten by the long mouth of the crocodile monster ejected by the crocodile-shaped magic weapon, and the two were deadlocked. However, looking at the cultivator who used the sword-shaped magic weapon, it seemed that he was already struggling and seemed to be about to lose.
"It's the third junior brother!" Feng Hanxiao recognized the sword-shaped magic weapon as soon as he saw it from afar.
"Go over, it's the disciples of the Demon Palace, catch them!" Mo Ao naturally recognized Tian Qi's sword-shaped magic weapon, and rushed down directly on his sword, and without saying a word, he began to capture the Qi Refining disciples who were watching the battle on the periphery.
Wu Yan was shocked when he heard about the disciples of the Demon Palace, and he also went to help. Feng Hanxiao controlled his magic weapon and attacked the one who used the crocodile-mouth-shaped magic weapon to help Tian Qi.
Mo Ao and Wu Yan took action and quickly subdued the group of Qi Refining disciples of the Demon Palace wearing yellow tights. On the other side, because Feng Hanxiao joined the battle, the two fought together against the monk who used the crocodile-mouth-shaped magic weapon, forcing him to retreat step by step.
The monk with the crocodile-mouthed magic weapon wore a yellow monk's robe, had short hair and a long beard, but looked neither monk nor layman, and was extremely strange.
"You evil monk, you are a good disciple of the Buddha Palace, but you don't want to be a disciple of the Buddha Palace, but you have joined the demon palace. Why don't you surrender? Do you really want to force us to kill you together?" Feng Hanxiao fought with the evil monk while disrupting the man's spell.
Feng Hanxiao said this, Wu Yan heard it clearly, and looked at the evil monk in surprise. This time, he saw clearly that although there was no mark on the monk's robe, there was a black metal plate hanging on his waist, which was the same size and style as the one that Taoist Duomu gave him before. It seems that he is indeed a member of the demon palace, and his status seems to be equal to Duomu.
Those demon palace Qi training disciples who were subdued also had demon palace tokens on their waists, which were half the size of the demon monk and the same size as the token he got from the casual cultivator who died inexplicably in his hands.
Although the demon monk's cultivation is in the middle stage of foundation building, he is on par with Feng Hanxiao and Tian Qi in fighting, which seems to be closely related to his strange magic weapon.
The crocodile-mouth-shaped magic weapon is also strange. When it swallows and spits, it can spit out a black crocodile monster. The crocodile monster has a narrow mouth and long fangs. When it opens and closes, it seems to have a very strange force, which can suppress the most agile top-level magic weapons.
"Second Brother, what does the eldest brother mean by this? Since the monk is a disciple of Futu Palace, how can he become a member of the Demon Palace? By the way, what exactly is the Demon Palace?" Wu Yan had a series of questions in his mind and couldn't help asking Mo Ao.
