Chapter 293 Jiuchuan Old Demon, sacrificing his life for righteousness (asking for monthly votes)
After crossing the sea of blood massacre, the cultivators arrived at the last magical pass in the outer realm of Taixu Realm, the "Han Jingtai".
This demonic pass is the most difficult and dangerous of the seven demonic pass in the outer realm. Even if it is a golden elixir cultivator, it will be difficult to cross without special means.
Master Shentu a thousand years ago, after breaking through the realm of Yuanying, crossed the "Han Jingtai" and successfully reached the territory of Taixu.
Of course, this is not to say that the strength of Master Shentu’s Nascent Soul is only comparable to the peak golden elixir of Demon Lord Guiluo, Ancestor Ningyan and others, but as time goes by, the power of the magic level in the secret realm of Taixu Realm has increased. , is also weakening.
Furthermore, because Master Shentu did not obtain the inheritance of the Stone Demon Sect...he forcibly broke through the cold crystal platform and entered the inner realm of Taixu Realm.
Invisibly,
Destroyed many of Han Jingtai's restrictions.
In other words, the Han Jingtai of more than a thousand years ago was more powerful than the Han Jingtai of today.
However, even so, the magical barrier of Hanjingtai is not a place that Su Bing'er and other early Jindan monks can cross at will.
Looking at the circular platform in front of him that was hundreds of feet in size and made entirely of ice crystals, Che Gongwei was shocked and at the same time, there was a sad look on his brows.
With his strength, it was not easy to resist the white cold air coming towards his face, and he had no spare energy to take care of Su Bing'er, his disciple.
But if Su Bing'er is left outside Han Jingtai and leaves by herself... Che Gongwei thought with his toes and knew that this approach was not advisable.
Once out of the protection of Hu Shan and others, it would be easy for the two major demon sects, Tianjue Demon Palace and Hehuan Sect, to capture Su Bing'er, the lone golden elixir.
Demon Lord Guiluo and Ancestor Ningyan had a joking look on their lips. They glanced coldly in the direction of Master and Disciple Che Gongwei, as if they wanted to see how Master and Disciple Che Gongwei would handle this crisis.
A few days ago, Che Gongwei's sudden "rebellion" made the old demon Lord Guiluo feel very unhappy. If it were not for the sake of his grand plan, Demon Lord Guiluo would have cut Che Gongwei into pieces and extracted his soul.
Che Gongwei was the first to turn to Wei Tu for help.
At the moment, their team of seven people was forced to join forces due to the pressure from Demon Lord Gui Luo and others, but they all seemed to be in harmony with each other.
Hence, except for the two disciples Wei Tu and Su Bing'er, Che Gongwei found it difficult to trust others.
Facing this predicament, Wei Tu had no good solution. He took out the black scale shield that he had captured from the Taoist Wolf Slayer and lent it to Su Bing'er temporarily, thus rekindling the friendship between the brothers and sisters.
Wei Tu does have higher-level defense methods, such as the fourth-level defense talisman obtained from Jia Tianlong... But these are all trump cards against the Demon Lord Guiluo, and it is not convenient for him to give them to Su Binger for self-defense at this time.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wei." Su Bing'er felt warm in her heart after taking the black scale shield, and looked at Wei Tu with a hint of gratitude.
In addition, her moon-like clear eyes also had a little more affection as they circulated.
Decades ago, at the pagoda in Yanfen Mountain, Wei Tu's tactful rejection of her gradually caused the trace of admiration in her heart to disappear. The state of mind returns to calm.
But today, Su Bing'er once again sensed Wei Tu's kindness to her.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
"Fairy Hushan and Fellow Daoist Qi, you two should also show your strength at this time. If we lose our manpower now, when we enter the territory of Taixu, the situation will be very disadvantageous for you and me."
After delivering the black scale shield, Wei Tu turned his head and looked at Hu Shan and Qi Chengchu, his words slightly threatening.
Horizontal and afraid of being stunned,
Afraid of death?
At this time, Hu Shan and Qi Chengchu had the strength to confront Demon Lord Guiluo and others, which was inseparable from their master and apprentice.
—Abandoning Su Bing'er now means that there is no need for them to unite.
In addition, Wei Tu did not think that Hushan would be willing to abandon Su Bing'er, the black wood spirit body. After all, it is the key to the Juling Sect's refining of the "Five Elements Infant".
“This is the Fierce Sun Stone. With this thing close by and your defensive magic weapon, Junior Sister Qi should be able to pass through the Cold Crystal Platform without any hindrance.”
Hearing this, Hu Shan hesitated for a while, took out a silver necklace inlaid with red rubies from his arms, and threw it to Su Bing'er who was standing aside.
This red ruby, the size of a pigeon egg, instantly emitted a blazing red light when it was released from Hu Shan's hands, melting the surrounding coldness.
This treasure was originally prepared by Hushan for him to break through the Cold Crystal Platform, but considering that it was not appropriate to break the peace now, he had no choice but to give it to Su Bing'er.
…
Like Su Bing'er, the old monster of the Sky Corpse is also in the early stage of the golden elixir. However, considering the brilliant performance of the old monster of the Sky Corpse in the Sunset City Sword Trial Conference, Wei Tu has no doubts about whether he can safely pass the Cold Crystal Platform. .
After giving away the Lieyang Stone in Hushan.
The cultivators immediately began to climb the cold crystal platform in front of them.
This platform, like the previous magic levels, has air-forbidden circles and gravity restrictions. It can only be climbed step by step with strength, without any tricks.
One third of it is gone.
Wei Tu suddenly saw that there was a female cultivator in red dress outside Han Jingtai.
This girl in red dress has been practicing for more than 20 years. She has a bit of evil energy on her eyebrows. At first glance, she is not an easy person to get along with.
"Mrs. Lan?" Wei Tu immediately recognized the origin of this female cultivator in red clothes. She was none other than Mrs. Lan who entered the Taixu Realm with Brother Wan Hai Zhenjun and Jia Tianlong more than fifty years ago.
This woman has an extraordinary origin. She was a Taoist companion of the "Jiuli Master" who was a monk in Yuanying of the State of Zheng.
Wei Tu was not the only monk who recognized Mrs. Lan. Qi Chengchu and Che Gongwei, two veteran Jindan Masters who belonged to the righteous path, both recognized this famous Nascent Soul Taoist monk.
The number of Yuanying monks in the three bordering countries is rare, and Master Jiuli is not a low-key person. It would be a rare thing if Qi Chengchu and Che Gongwei did not recognize this Yuanying Taoist monk.
"Mrs. Lan is still alive? She was not killed by Demon Lord Guiluo?" At this time, Bai Zhi's voice of surprise came from Wei Tu's mind.
"Killed by Demon Lord Gui Luo? Fellow Daoist Bai, where do we start talking about this matter?"
Wei Tu was startled, a little confused.
The last time he was in Taixu, he came out after hiding in the Bloody Sea for two years. Therefore, it is not clear what happened to Bai Zhi, Mrs. Lan and others after they entered the Taixu territory.
A few days ago, he asked Bai Zhi for information about the Taixu territory in the grotto. At that time, Bai Zhi did not mention anything about Mrs. Lan.
“I originally thought she was dead, so I kept her secret for the sake of the deceased and deliberately did not mention her... Of course, this is also related to the fact that she has little connection with the territory of Taixu..."
Bai Zhi explained.
"Now it seems that the relationship is not shallow." Wei Tu took a deep breath. He did not think that Mrs. Lan's coming at this time was a coincidence.
With Mrs. Lan's involvement, this trip to Taixu Territory may have a lot more variables.
Wei Tu still believed Bai Zhi's words and did not have much doubt.
Bai Zhi has a soul bond with him. Once he talks nonsense, his master will be able to detect it immediately.
Next, Bai Zhi explains to Wei Tu the relationship between her and Mrs. Lan.
"I and Madam Lan were friends. When I followed Demon Lord Guiluo into the Taixu Realm, I then contacted Jia Tianlong, Madam Lan and others, planning to take advantage of the evil and rebel against Demon Lord Guiluo..." "Unexpectedly , after arriving in the Taixu territory, I found out that Demon Lord Guiluo was actually the Nascent Soul incarnation of the Old Demon of Jiuchuan... After a fierce battle, I was seriously injured by Demon Lord Guiluo, and Wan Hai Zhenjun was swallowed by him..."
Bai Zhi talked about the past.
"Obviously, Mrs. Lan surrendered to Demon Lord Guiluo. In other words, Demon Lord Guiluo was afraid of Master Jiuli and spared Mrs. Lan's life." At this point, Bai Zhi's tone became a little complicated.
After all, it was she who caused Mrs. Lan to almost die. Now, Mrs. Lan has joined forces with Demon Lord Gui Luo, and it is inevitable that she will face off with Mrs. Lan, the handkerchief.
"Take it one step at a time." Bai Zhi sighed softly. She did not ask Wei Tu to be extra merciful when dealing with Mrs. Lan.
In the final analysis, the current Demon Lord Guiluo and others are the ones with the real advantage.
…
Unlike Wei Tu, Qi Chengchu and others did not have any information about Bai Zhi, so when they first saw Madam Lan, a righteous monk, their thoughts started to wander, and they wanted to win Madam Lan to their side.
Mrs. Lan seemed to also intend to unite with Hu Shan, Qi Chengchu and others. After hearing some words of persuasion from Qi Chengchu and others, she stood in line with Wei Tu and others with a look of excitement on her face.
"Old Demon Jiuchuan has always been cunning and cunning. He is well-known in the devil's path, but he is not as brave and foolhardy as Demon Lord Guiluo..."
“This time, he is probably using Mrs. Lan’s help to catch you all.”
Bai Zhi reminded him coldly.
"But this time, Jiuchuan Old Demon undoubtedly miscalculated. He didn't know that you, Daoist Bai, are here with Wei." A smile appeared on Wei Tu's face.
At this moment, the power of the Righteous Party has increased greatly. Everyone thought that Wei Tu was happy because of Mrs. Lan's joining, and did not know the real reason for Wei Tu's laughter.
After the small commotion caused by Mrs. Lan's appearance turned calm, Wei Tu began to secretly transmit messages, telling Hu Shan, Qi Chengchu and others about Mrs. Lan's "true identity".
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In dealing with the Demon Lord Guiluo, Wei Tu, Hu Shan, Qi Chengchu and others have the same goal and the same direction.
After two months of climbing.
Arrived at the top of Hanjing Platform.
Wei Tu and others saw a spiraling bluestone staircase that stretched as far as the eye could see, as if it connected to the sky beyond.
Fortunately, the bluestone steps are not as cold as the cold crystal platform. Although walking on the steps is the same as Xieshan Mountain, there are gravity restrictions, but it is not difficult for them, the Golden Pill monks.
We walked for about two hours.
The bluestone steps finally came to an end. At the end was a section of the Rainbow Bridge, and at the other end was a wooden pavilion that looked like a Qiongtai Fairy Palace.
The pavilion is carved with dragons and phoenixes. Above its entrance, there is a jade-colored plaque with the three ancient characters "Holy Demon Palace" written on it.
Looking towards the back of the pavilion, you can see vague and exquisite buildings, among which a dark five-story stone tower is particularly prominent.
Because it looks dim and far less ethereal than other buildings, it feels quite out of place.
“That’s the poison of Seven-Star Begonia.” Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the floating layer outside the pavilion, which was like starlight aura.
Compared to the "Seven-Star Begonia Poison" in his hand, the spiritual poison in the Taixu territory is already so strong that it can be visualized and is not difficult to detect with the naked eye.
However, if one did not know in advance that this layer of starlight was a spiritual poison that could poison Nascent Soul monks, I am afraid that many people would think that it was the treasured light of various spiritual objects in the Holy Demon Palace.
“After stepping onto this rainbow bridge, you will be automatically transported to any place in the Holy Demon Palace. This is a great opportunity for you and me to escape..."
Wei Tu secretly sent a message, instructing the old monster Tianzhi, Che Gongwei and Su Bing'er, master and apprentice.
This time, if he had not used this strange pass to temporarily escape the surveillance of Demon Lord Gui Luo, Hu Shan and others, he would not have followed these people to the territory of Taixu.
“After entering the Taixu Territory, Wei will try to hold them back. Daoist fellow Tianzhi, Master, and Junior Sister Su. Don’t miss the treasures in the Taixu Territory and evacuate quickly!”
Wei Tu said in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother Wei..." Su Bing'er hesitated. Doesn't this mean that Wei Tu is facing danger alone?
“What time has it been? Return it to your mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Wei Mou has his own way to leave!”
Wei Tu reprimanded.
Hearing this, Su Binger was speechless and tears rolled in her apricot eyes.
She didn’t feel aggrieved.
But because Wei Tu sacrificed his life to save him, but he had no means to help, he felt guilty.
"Wei Tu, I'll stay and help you." Che Gongwei sighed softly and said, "I'm an old man. When I left Jinlong Valley, I didn't think about going back alive."
“If I can save you or Bing’er, it will be my teacher’s profit.”
Although most of the casual cultivators are self-interested people, there are also many people who have a righteous heart and want to save the common people.
Xia Binchen, the master of Shentu thousands of years ago, did not want to become a ghost and live an ignoble existence, so he imprisoned himself in the sea of blood massacre, waiting for the day of his death.
The same is true for Che Gongwei today.
For the sake of morality, I chose to sacrifice instead of living.
- Che Gongwei seems to be the same as Wei Tu, in that he is taking the final step, but what is different from Wei Tu is that Che Gongwei has the intention to die, but Wei Tu is not the same. Instead, he has measured his own strength. Just made this decision.
“I respect the decision of Fellow Daoist Wei.” The old monster of the sky corpse chose to agree. He knew that Wei Tu had the “Taixu Stone” in his hand and could leave as soon as possible.
Of course, what the old monster of the Sky Corpse doesn’t know is that the Taixu Stone can only be used in the outer realm, and is just waste in the inner realm and has no ability to be teleported.
“That’s fine.” Wei Tu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Che Gongwei’s request.
Che Gongwei is in the middle stage of Jindan and is a well-known third-level talisman master. With Che Gongwei's help, he will undoubtedly face much less pressure from Demon Lord Guiluo and others.
He asked Old Monster Sky Corpse and Su Bing'er to leave first because he didn't want to add to the burden of rescue.
But Che Gongwei is different, his strength is not low, he can be his strong support and a big help.
“With the addition of Che Gongwei, we may be able to seize one or two opportunities in Taixu.” Wei Tu looked at the topaz token in his storage ring.
Unsurprisingly, this yellow jade token is the Sumeru token that Demon Lord Guiluo and others have been searching for for the past fifty years.
He also didn’t expect that Master Shentu would leave him this legacy.
