Chapter 202: The Demon King's Heart and the Blood Pond

It was hazy at the bottom of the water a hundred meters away, and it was even darker at a thousand meters. The water pressure was heavy enough to crush any ordinary person. It was difficult for the spiritual consciousness to flow here. Although Wu Yi and others did not know where they had dived, they were at least more than a thousand meters deep.

Compared with Li Gu and others, Wu Yi had practiced the powerful method after all, and his physical strength was far better than theirs. Under the pressure of water, he could hold on even without deploying the spiritual shield, but Li Gu and the others could not. In terms of strength, they were the weakest here.

In fact, Li Gu and the others had elixirs to supplement, so they were not unable to hold on, but the water pressure was not only the water pressure, but also a lot of scale and hidden poison accumulated for many years, and these poisons were hard to guard against.

After lurking under the water for an hour, Zheng Guangming suggested: "It's not a good idea to stay here all the time. Why not go up and check the results?"

"It's too early, wait a little longer." Yu Xuyou is a Xuanguang cultivator. Xuanguang is unfolded, and even in the deep water, it emits a dim light. The water waves are divided here. He looks the most relaxed person, so he is naturally unwilling to take risks.

"But the undercurrent is surging. I don't know where we will be swept away. What will happen then?" Zheng Guangming continued.

The environment under the water is much more dangerous than above. The undercurrent is surging. Within an hour, Wu Yi and others have been swept away. It's not that Wu Yi and others can't resist the water flow, but doing so makes too much noise and is easily discovered, so they choose to go with the flow.

But the disadvantage of doing so is just as Zheng Guangming said, I don't know where I will be swept away, and it will be bad if I deviate from the direction.

After several rounds of discussion, they decided to dive. After all, Yu Xuyou is just a prisoner of the first level, and his words are not enough.

When they were discussing fiercely, Wu Yi remained silent. It was fine for him to continue hiding. He didn't care. During this hour, Wu Yi had been observing the talisman that the black beetle had taught him.

This talisman was indeed from the true scriptures. Wu Yi spent an hour to see only a little bit of it. This was because he was interested in observing the method of refining the fire-attributed true essence. After all, the spiritual energy in his body was all fire-attributed.

Wu Yi looked inward at the hair-sized strand of fire-attributed true essence that he had just cultivated. It was just such a small strand that Wu Yi consumed one point of spiritual energy. If all the spiritual energy in his body was used to cultivate this method, he might not be able to gather a finger-sized true essence.

Although the Five Elements True Essence is a magic method, if it is fully developed, it is not inferior to supernatural powers at all. Only the magic methods in the true scriptures have this qualification.

However, if this magic method wants to be fully developed, the resources required are astronomical. If there is no adventure, it is almost impossible to complete it before the golden elixir.

The five elements' true essence can be scattered into true sand, which can cover the sky and earth, dissolve gold and crush stones, and gather into true light, which is a good method to capture and trap people.

These are also the two directions of this method. Thinking of the scene later, Wu Yi's mind was shaken and he couldn't help his emotions.

The group quietly lurked up, but what they didn't know was that their self-proclaimed cautious and stable behavior had long been discovered by the shrimps and crabs that were spying on the side. The koi carp responsible for the message held the message in its mouth and informed the eel monster in charge of the matter.

In the turbid lake, water splashed, and huge shadows passed by from time to time. Countless water creatures gathered in the direction of Wu Yi and others, and a large net was slowly pulled open.

However, after floating up a hundred meters, Wu Yi felt something was wrong. The undercurrent in the water was too violent. It is normal to have undercurrents in the water, but undercurrents are often disordered and there are fluctuations. At this time, the undercurrent has become a central fluctuation, and it is getting more and more intense. It is obviously not an ordinary undercurrent.

"We've been discovered." Yu Xuyou said this with mixed feelings. He finally gained the trust of Wu Yi's team. If he became a prisoner again, he didn't know whether he would live or die.

After a dozen breaths, the dense shrimp soldiers, crab generals, turtles, snakes, insects and fish surrounded Wu Yi and others. Yu Xuyou shone the mysterious light, but he couldn't see even a crack.

"Intruders, surrender." The shrimp soldiers and crab generals shouted in unison, forming a huge wave in the water, rushing towards Wu Yi and others.

"There is a demon king watching behind, do you want to take action?" Li Gu asked Wu Yi. Among the four people, Wu Yi was the strongest, and all actions were led by Wu Yi.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of them were actually not worth worrying about. Wu Yi alone was enough to break through. They just had a simple advantage in numbers, and they didn't form a formation, so they were not a big threat.

The real threat was the faint breath of the demon king behind him, which made Wu Yi feel heavy in his heart. He didn't know what the demon king meant.

"Since Master Han is here, why hide behind? Are you afraid of us little cultivators?" Wu Yi asked, testing the demon king's intentions.

"Hehe." Before Wu Yi could react, a hunchbacked old man appeared in front of him. Judging from his momentum, it was undoubtedly the big crocodile Han Zhen.

"You juniors, do you have anything to say? You came to my territory without even saying hello, and you are taking advantage of me, Han Zhen, for not treating you well?" Han Zhen showed an angry look, full of dissatisfaction.

But Wu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Han Zhen's words. His life should be saved now.

Wu Yi saluted and said respectfully: "The enemy is chasing us very quickly. I don't have time to ask for instructions. I'm sorry for offending you, senior."

"It's okay, it's okay," Han Zhen waved his hand and laughed inexplicably, "Hehe." Wu Yi got goosebumps all over the floor.

"Then-" Wu Yi was about to ask if he could borrow the road to leave, as they still had to go to Fengchi Forest to look for the purple and clear spiritual stone.

"If I don't entertain you, wouldn't it be that I am not hospitable? My friends, please don't refuse." Han Zhen was extremely enthusiastic and smiling, but the meaning of his words could not be refused.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Wu Yi and others will know this truth, but now the demon king is in front of them and their lives are in the hands of others. How dare they say no? They can only agree obediently.

"Haha," Han Zhen seemed very happy and said to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals: "Disperse, disperse, don't disturb my guests."

The swords were sheathed, the cold light converged, and the airtight encirclement was divided into two rows. The murderous army suddenly turned into a welcoming team, beating gongs and drums, and parading through the city. Wu Yi and others were "invited" to Han Zhen's cave.

It is called a cave, but it is more like a palace. The milk cave is white jade, and there are pieces of smoke and haze outside the empty window. It is surrounded by pearls and shells, and various colored stones, which appear colorful.

Han Zhen changed into a new outfit, wearing a feathered robe and a star crown, with a rosy face, sitting high on the jade couch of Yuntai. With this outfit, no one dared to say that he was born as a wild demon.

Wu Yi and others sat on the jade chair on the left, and on the other side were several big demons under Han Zhen. It seemed that their strength was not weaker than the black bear demon that Wu Yi had defeated before. After all, Han Zhen was a demon king, and he still had some subordinates.

In the center was a long table, made of unknown wood, as warm as jade, exuding a faint fragrance. On the table were mountain fruits and fine wines, jade plates and delicacies, and there were many fish girls playing the harp or dancing underneath. You would never imagine that this scene was created by a demon cultivator.

At this time, Han Zhen was raising his glass frequently, inviting Wu Yi and others to drink. There was constant laughter and joy during the banquet, but everyone present had different thoughts.

Han Zhen's old team members were wondering if these Taoists were going to join them, and Wu Yi and the others were getting more worried. They were intruders, and they didn't deserve the reward without merit. What was Han Zhen's purpose? Wu Yi and the other four were almost all thinking about this question.

Han Zhen, who sat high up, was sitting on the Diaoyutai, looking calm. No one could tell what he was thinking. He was a veteran who knew how to control his subordinates.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, and after a batch of singing girls, Han Zhen was still smiling and didn't say what he wanted.

Should I ask directly? Wu Yi thought to himself, but there was no other way at the moment. He couldn't just keep dragging it here.

"Report--" A long sound came from outside the cave, and everyone in the room looked over. They saw a demon cultivator with a round head and a bulging belly walking into the cave with short legs.

The demon cultivator panted and said, "Master, Master, the Jade Blood Pond is coming to kill us." Han Zhen claimed to be a righteous man of the Xuanmen Sect, and his demon cultivators always called him Master.

The Jade Blood Pond is located in the northeast of Linxia Swamp, and is also a place where water gathers. It is connected to Linxia Swamp by a waterway, and is considered the upper reaches of Linxia Swamp. The relationship with Linxia Swamp has always been bad, and both sides want to annex each other and unify the upper and lower reaches.

"Master, do you need a few of us to serve you?" Although he didn't know the specific content, Wu Yi also heard that this must involve the demon cultivator's own territory dispute, so he jumped out to repay Han Zhen's hospitality.

The demon cultivator sitting on the right with a protruding jaw, broad cheeks and pointed head stood up and snorted in dissatisfaction, and said with a bow: "Master, these bastards from the Jade Blood Pond dared to come and offend us at this time, please order your subordinates to repel them."

Han Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

The demon cultivator strode out with great momentum, and before leaving, he glanced at Wu Yi with a hint of disdain. He regarded Wu Yi's previous words as a move to compete for merit.

Wu Yi shook his head, helpless. He just wanted to repay Han Zhen's favor, not to join Han Zhen. These demon cultivators had never left the Blue Sky Realm and did not know the vastness of the world. How could Wu Yi, who had Zhi Tianxuan as his master, look down on Han Zhen?

The banquet continued, but everyone was more or less concerned about the attack of the Jade Blood Pond.

"Report - General Li is dead." It was the demon cultivator who reported the news before, and his expression seemed much more flustered.

Han Zhen frowned slightly and said: "How many people came to the Jade Blood Pond?" There were fights between the two sides before, but it was rare for a demon cultivator of the level of General Li to die.

Originally, in Han Zhen's view, the Jade Blood Pond was just taking advantage of the opportunity of him inviting Wu Yi and others to a banquet and recalling the generals to pick up an advantage. Killing his generals was intolerable.

"There are more than a dozen generals." The demon cultivator who reported the news replied. In the eyes of the demons of the Azure Realm, anyone who can be called a general is at least at the foundation-building level, and is relatively powerful among the foundation-building level.

Han Zhen nodded slightly. This could explain the reason for the death of General Carp. He fought against many enemies alone, and even if he lost, he still had honor.

"But there was only one person who took action." The demon cultivator who reported the news made Han Zhen frown again.

The missing chapter is finally filled in
