Chapter 276
In the end, Pei Dong ‘er accepted the cold Frost Sword.
However, she herself requested for Chen jingzhai to have fifty Jindan-level demons, at least fifty Jindan-level demons. Otherwise, she would not have accepted the cold Frost Sword.
Chen jingzhai could only helplessly agree. In his heart, he had a higher opinion of Pei Dong ‘er.
The reason why he took out the cold Frost Sword wasn’t to pretend to be generous. First, he wanted Pei Dong ‘er to owe him a favor. Both she and true venerate floating snow were worth it. Second, he wanted to establish his image.
A fool with many magic weapons, come quickly!
Such a character setting would only bring benefits to Chen jingzhai.
If it was outside the sect, it would naturally be treated as a fat sheep, but within the sect, it was a treasure.
The advantage was that no one would deliberately scheme against him, and even if they were schemed against, the harm would be very small.
Most importantly, he could dissolve the enmity between the heaven’s favorites.
As the number one heaven’s favorite, Chen jingzhai was a natural threat to them.
One had to know that even if they were different mountain ranges, there were still benefits to fight for.
Furthermore, they were heaven’s favorites and the sect paid close attention to them.
Not to mention Chen jingzhai’s obedience, in reality, after he moved into the full moon Cave, he had never felt safe.
Even with senior brother Fu Yunzi behind him, he still felt very insecure.
This was the uneasiness brought about by the non-native cultivators, but it was also the fear brought about by the many secrets they had.
He had been rejoicing that he had not met any Immortals.
Therefore, ever since he broke through to the Golden core stage, Chen jingzhai had secretly made up his mind to cultivate in a low-key and stable manner. He would never do anything that would make him stand out. However, if he wanted to do it, he would need some skills.
After all, he was the number one heaven’s favorite.
If he didn’t want people to notice him, he had to create a good image and make people subconsciously ignore him.
Only by lowering his threat would everyone accept him and achieve his goal.
Chen jingzhai had talked to su qingluan about this.
She didn’t have any objections.
If Chen jingzhai had not wanted to come to the hundred Demons catacombs, she would not have even wanted to come.
She would support whatever Chen jingzhai wanted to do, as long as he didn’t leave her.
After Pei Dong ‘er obtained the cold Frost Sword, she returned to her room to refine it in seclusion.
Chen jingzhai had specially instructed Qing Qing to control the speed. When Pei Dong ‘er came out of seclusion, the qingzhai had just arrived in the sky above the hundred Demons catacombs’ boundary. Everyone on the qingzhai was ready.
The sky was already dark, and the White Ship was quite conspicuous in the night sky.
Qingzhai landed from the sky, and the group appeared directly on the ground.
Chen jingzhai waved his sleeve and put away qingzhai. Under Chen Lei’s lead, they entered the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave was extremely conspicuous, and because of the formation covering it, there was only one entrance. Even a cultivator who came for the first time would be able to find this cave entrance that was like a mountain Gate.
The group of people approached the entrance of the cave, took out a hundred spirit stones, and threw them into the mouths of the stone statues on both sides of the cave. In an instant, a flash of light appeared at the entrance of the cave.
“Let’s go!” Chen Lei said in a low voice as he led the way.
Chen jingzhai held su qingluan’s hand and followed the others in.
After the light, the sky and earth started to spin. While they were still in the air, a blood Qi crazily attacked them. In all directions, it was as if they had fallen into a swamp, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Itinerant cultivators basically wouldn’t enter the cavern world at night, and only those who were skilled were bold.
The first level of the catacombs.
A light blue lightning Cloak appeared on Chen Lei’s body. The blood fiends would be purified as soon as they got close.
A Daoist robe appeared on Nangong Liang’s body. On his back was a picture of a White Crane, and there was a light that blocked the blood demon.
The pagoda above Zhao Hao’s head was not affected at all.
Yang Qian also took out his pill furnace and looked around at ease.
Hu Shouyang and Hu Yunqing both cast fire spells, which covered their heads like a layer of umbrella.
Hu Zhong stood behind the two of them with an indifferent expression.
Li Yueli and Pei Dong ‘er both summoned the demonic blood gourd. The gourd floated above their heads, and the mouth of the gourd was slightly facing down. All the demonic blood that came close to it was absorbed by the gourd.
Ji Shuanghua and Zeng wangbei did the same. The gourd floated in front of their chest and absorbed the blood Fiend.
It was much easier for Chen jingzhai and su qingluan. The blood Fiend disappeared as soon as it got close.
It was Chen jingzhai’s impervious Dao body. It devoured the evil blood around him, including su qingyue ‘s. It was as if he had a treasure protecting him.
“This is the first level of the catacombs.”
“Vast, dark, and mist-like, baleful aura.”
“Many of you are here for the first time, why don’t we split up first?”
“I’ll get used to this level first. It’s best to hunt demons and try my hand.”
Chen Lei suggested.
Although everyone was in the Golden elixir realm, he wasn’t sure what they were up to.
If one couldn’t adapt to the environment here and couldn’t get used to fighting, it would easily affect one’s Dao heart.
He didn’t need to consider the others, but he had to take care of the female cultivators.
“Alright!”
“Let’s wait at the entrance of the second level. ”
“It won’t take much time.”
Hu Shouyang nodded in agreement.
Senior brother Chen Lei’s suggestion was worth it.
Everyone immediately scattered.
Senior brother Chen Lei and Hu Shouyang led the group to the entrance of the second floor.
Zhao Hao and Yang Qian followed closely behind, leaving in another direction.
Only Chen jingzhai, su qingluan, Zeng wangbei, Ji Shuanghua, li Yueli, and Pei Dong ‘er were left.
“You two want to stay?” Chen jingzhai asked with a smile.
“If Dong ‘er stays, then I’ll stay.” Li Yueli said.
“I want to help you kill the demons.” Pei Dong ‘er was determined.
“Then let’s go!” Chen jingzhai smiled and led everyone to land on the ground.
Apart from su qingluan, this was the first time everyone in the group had come to the catacombs.
They couldn’t help but be curious about this place, especially the yaomo.
Who knew that as soon as Chen jingzhai and the others landed on the ground, several arms would reach out from the soil and grab their ankles? before Chen jingzhai could do anything, li Yueli’s screams could be heard.
Then, a muffled sound of thunder could be heard. Everything around them was turned into dust.
Li Yueli grabbed the bloody gourd, the shock on her face still lingering.
The thin layer of demonic blood in the demonic blood gourd was blasted out as demonic blood Thunder.
Judging from the shape of the ground and the surrounding situation, the power of the blood Fiend Yin lightning was not bad.
“This is only a first-grade demonic corpse.”
“It’s still a demonic hand that’s barely damaged. It’s formed from hand bones or flesh.”
“Don’t be afraid!”
Su qingluan walked over and consoled him.
Why was the catacombs called the hundred Demons catacombs? It was because there were so many kinds of demons here.
Most of the demons on the first level were of the first stage, and their strength was not high at all.
It was just that its sudden appearance gave li Yueli a shock.
“I’m fine now!”
“I suggest that we split up!”
“Zeng wangbei will follow me, Qing Luan will bring li Yueli, Dong ‘er and Shuanghua will follow.”
“Remember to use your divine sense to scan your surroundings. Don’t be careless.”
Chen jingzhai shook his head. After he finished speaking, he grabbed Zeng wangbei and flew away.
Pei Dong ‘er immediately followed, and Ji Shuanghua also hurriedly flew up.
After receiving Chen jingzhai’s message, su qingluan had no choice but to fly away with li Yueli.
“You’re not angry are you?”
“Yueli just doesn’t have much experience, so she was caught off guard.”
Pei Dong ‘er caught up to him and explained.
“I’m not angry. ” Chen jingzhai shook his head.”It’s precisely because she doesn’t have any experience that I let the only experienced qingluan follow her. You don’t have to follow her, you should adapt to the environment first.”
“Alright!” Pei Dong ‘er nodded and obediently changed her direction with the bloody gourd.
Ji Shuanghua followed behind her silently. She did not look like a companion, but a protector.
After the two girls left, Chen jingzhai heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s too much. Do those people treat little uncle-master as a nanny?” Zeng wangbei said unhappily.
“It doesn’t matter, they are female cultivators!” Chen jingzhai smiled.”Let’s go find the demons first and see the power of the blood gourd. We can also see if there are any opportunities on this floor.”
“Alright!” Zeng wangbei nodded and immediately flew a hundred Zhang away from Chen jingzhai.
The two of them could see each other and take care of each other.
Although it was only the first level, he couldn’t let his guard down. This was the experience he had gained from fighting in the immense forest.
This kind of personally accumulated experience was useful anywhere.
Chen jingzhai descended from the sky and measured the ground with his feet. His divine sense spread out.
One group was exploring the depths of the land, while the other was searching for the demons nearby.
Corpse demonic hand!
A blood-colored insect demon!
Blood Fiend bone demon!
Demons of all shapes and sizes, giving off a strong malevolence and stench, were turned into dust by a force from a distance before they could even get within a thousand feet of Chen jingzhai.
Fire, lightning, Chen jingzhai used his divine telekinesis to sense and then cast a spell.
With him as the center, all the demons and devils in a 1000-foot radius were wiped out.
Rank one demons did not have much blood essence, but after they were killed, the blood Qi in the air would be much thicker. Chen jingzhai did not absorb it because he found it disgusting.
Instead, he used the divine light of the origin to sweep it over and let it be absorbed by the divine stone.
After a few times, he helplessly discovered that the power of the sanguine aura was too weak.
After being absorbed and refined by the divine patterns on the divine stone, there was not much left.
Therefore, he simply took out the extra six blood evil gourds in his hand and used his huge spiritual will to control the blood evil gourds to devour the blood evil spirits. Just like that, he walked, cleaned, and cultivated them.
Along the way, he used his spiritual will to sense the place under the soil.
First of all, he could confirm that the soil in the catacombs world was very fertile and contained a vast amount of vitality. However, the strange thing was that the vitality was not very strong. Even if there was, it was a life-and-death struggle.
Next, he found that many people had died on this floor. Most of the soil was filled with blood, flesh, and bones, as well as all kinds of demons that had reproduced with the help of blood, flesh, and bones. It was very disgusting.
As for the other opportunities, Chen jingzhai did not see them.
However, after walking for an hour, they found a few broken altars.
It was obvious that the altar had been dismantled by cultivators. Chen jingzhai studied the materials and found that they were all made of bone armor and the corpses of demons. They were of no value, and there was not even any Qi of blood left.
As they searched, Chen jingzhai didn’t see a single cultivator. It was clear that the first floor was relatively safe and had no value. Chen jingzhai even used the Dragon Ring to chat with The Green Phoenix.
With the blue Luan’s guidance, li Yueli finally returned to normal and could face the ugly demons.
The two women were currently clearing out the demons as usual and began to collect blood fiends.
