Chapter 556: Departure to the Nova Waters and Gathering at the Demon Slaying Hall (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Through the introduction of Perfected Lord Vast River, Jiang Chengxuan and his group learned that the so-called forts in the area were actually temporary campsites, each with varying concentrations and attributes of spiritual Qi. Some areas had less spiritual Qi, while others had more. The spiritual Qi in certain places was inclined towards elements like fire, wind, water, or wood. Not many outsiders, apart from local cultivators like Perfected Lord Vast River, knew these specifics.
Following his advice, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan chose a relatively stable fort.
This site had an optimal balance of spiritual Qi concentration and attributes. Most importantly, it was close to the core of the camp’s array.
Once something unexpected happened, they could rely on the protection of the temporary camp array. It was a rather safe place.
After Jiang Chengxuan arranged for all the people he brought, he sent a message to Yan Wushuang and the others.
Soon, Yan Wushuang, Earth Walker, and the others arrived at Jiang Chengxuan’s side.
Looking at the fort Jiang Chengxuan and the others had chosen, Earth Walker couldn’t help but smile.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, the spiritual Qi here is stable. It can be considered a pretty good fort around the core area of our temporary camp.”
“Hehe, speaking of which, it’s all thanks to Fellow Daoist Vast River.”
As they spoke, they flew in the direction of the Demon Slaying Hall.
The Demon-Slaying Hall was a rather magnificent palace hall.
There were even layers of restrictive arrays.
Especially when it came to isolating all kinds of divine sense detection, it was even more extreme.
Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators like them, even a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord would find it difficult to see through the restrictions and arrays inside.
When Jiang Chengxuan and the others entered the Demon Slaying Hall, Jiang Chengxuan immediately realized that there were already many people gathered here.
Furthermore, everyone present was at least at Nascent Soul.
Among them were their acquaintances, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and Perfected Lord Star Sea.
In addition, they also saw Nascent Soul cultivators of the Cao, Liu, and Lu families, as well as Pei Daoqi and the others of the Mingzhen Sect.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang…”
At that moment, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and Perfected Lord Star Sea, who had arrived before them, walked towards them.
At this moment, there were two people following them.
A man and a woman.
The man was elegant and refined, while the woman was dignified and beautiful.
Their cultivation was all at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
As soon as both sides met, Perfected Lord Star Sea smiled and introduced them to Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, let me introduce you.
These two are the Supreme Elders of the South Sea Sect, Dugu Baifei and Situ Xiang.”
Then, he looked at Dugu Baifei and Situ Xiang and smiled.
“This is Fellow Daoist Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan I’ve mentioned to you before.
This is Fellow Daoist Tang Baisheng, also the Supreme Elder of the Jiang family.”
‘Tve long heard that Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Shen are extraordinary. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation.” Dugu Baifei immediately cupped his fists warmly at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
At the same time, he did not forget Tang Baisheng, who was beside them, and greeted him politely.
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan also smiled politely and cupped his fists in return.
“Fellow Daoist Dugu, you flattered me.
However, my wife and I have long heard of your reputation as the two South Sea Immortals.
It is truly a joy and an honor to meet you here today.”
Jiang Chengxuan was no longer the novice who had just advanced to Nascent Soul, unaware of his peers at this cultivation level.
At the very least, he and Shen Ruyan had heard of these two before.
They were considered rather righteous cultivators.
Most importantly, although their cultivation was only at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
According to what Jiang Chengxuan knew, the two of them had once obtained a very special joint attack technique in the early years.
Once deployed, it immediately allowed them to exhibit strength beyond the mid-Nascent Soul stage, reaching the level of a grand cultivator.
So.
Many cultivators actually regarded the two South Sea Immortals as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
While Jiang Chengxuan and the others were talking, some more cultivators walked in from outside the Demon Slaying Hall.
In the blink of an eye, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Demon Slaying Hall reached more than a hundred.
It was at this moment, several extremely powerful auras suddenly appeared in everyone’s divine sense inside the Demon Slaying Hall.
Everyone immediately turned to look.
Then, at the head of the crowd, four figures appeared, standing quietly, their silhouettes as vague and imposing as gods.
They were the Soul Formation Heavenly Lords of the northern border.
Heavenly Lord Purple Flame, Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, and Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang, who had advanced not long ago.
The four were in charge of leading this crusade against the demonic calamity.
At that moment, Heavenly Lord Purple Flame said,
“The reason why I gathered you here this time is to discuss with you how to deal with the demonic calamity.
However, before that, the first thing we have to do is to ensure that there are no spies from that demonic cultivator.”
“Demonic cultivator spies?”
When they heard Heavenly Lord Purple Flame’s words, the expressions of many people froze.
Knowing that the Nascent Soul cultivators had been falling to the demonic path one after another, they all thought that it was necessary to check everyone present.
Otherwise, once the demonic cultivator spy really found out about some of their methods to deal with the demonic calamity, the casualty on the human side would be unimaginable.
This was not a joking matter.
So.
Not long after Heavenly Lord Purple Flame said that, cultivators expressed their support.
“What Senior Purple Flame said makes sense. Senior Purple Flame, please screen us to ensure that there are no demonic cultivator spies among us.”
As everyone finished speaking, Heavenly Lord Purple Flame no longer hesitated.
He raised his hand and waved.
Buzz!
In the void, a treasure mirror that was emitting layers of light appeared.
It was the Level 6 Pure Yang True Treasure, the Grand Sun Mirror, that he had refined with Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean and the others.
Seeing the sudden appearance of this mirror, the cultivators present immediately revealed panicked expressions.
However, before they could do anything, a dazzling golden light suddenly spewed out from the mirror.
It was majestic and brilliant.
It instantly swept past the bodies of everyone present.
In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan and the others immediately felt an extremely gentle power that seemed to caress their bodies. It actually made their minds immediately tremble.
However, at the same time, seven or eight people from the crowd suddenly let out miserable screams.
Thick black demonic qi surged from the bodies of these people.
In the demonic qi, there were also ferocious roars that struggled crazily, as if they wanted to break free from the light of the Grand Sun Mirror.
“Hiss!”
Many people could not help but gasp.
They really did not expect that there were actually so many demonic cultivators hidden among them.
If they were careless and skipped this step…
As long as they thought about the possible consequences, they could not help but break out in cold sweat.
“Hmph!”
At the same time, Heavenly Lord Purple Flame snorted coldly.
In fact.
Even he did not expect that there were actually so many demonic cultivators hidden among them.
Seven or eight was already a lot.
At that moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He did not show any mercy.
The Grand Sun Mirror instantly spewed out an even more intense light.
The screams suddenly became more intense.
In the next moment, the bodies of the demonic cultivators instantly turned into piles of ashes.
Their body and soul were completely eliminated..
