Chapter 802: Chapter 385: Encountering Old Acquaintances, Encirclement of Pei Wuxing

Even if they tracked him down, their primary target could only be the Formless Demon Corpse carrying the True Spirit Divine Tree, along with the East Spring Undying Bone, those two corpses.

But the other party was a powerful existence capable of recognizing the True Spirit Divine Tree as its master.

Whether relying on his own strength or some special means, that person might very well be even stronger than that Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch.

After all, what the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch could not accomplish, this one had already done.

In such a situation, it could not be ruled out that the other party possessed methods to directly peer at his true body through the External Golden Core.

"No matter how far away he is from me, as long as he is already on the way here, that is nothing good. It seems the East Spring Undying Bone’s rank-breaking cannot be delayed any longer."

Wen Jiu could not help but feel a fierce sense of crisis in his heart.

Refining the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses and the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse, offending that Soulless True Monarch had only made him somewhat wary.

After all, even though that Soulless True Monarch was a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, there was no way he could return to the land of the Four Domains in a short time.

He still had time to slowly cultivate the Four Corpses and Five Ghosts.

Whereas seizing the True Spirit Divine Tree and destroying the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch’s arrangements, that Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch might not even know about it yet.

So not much to worry about.

But a mysterious Nascent Soul True Monarch already on his way toward him was very likely to directly threaten the life of his true body.

"Once I leave the land of the Four Domains, I must immediately make use of the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion to find a place suited for Breaking Rank and Crossing the Tribulation.

If the East Spring Undying Bone can step into Tier Three, then once that Nascent Soul True Monarch comes knocking, even if I’m no match, I can still flee elsewhere."

With his decision made, Wen Jiu immediately controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to quickly leave the True Spirit Divine Demon Array.

Yet the instant his Divine Sense swept out, he discovered that Pei Wuxing was not waiting outside the True Spirit Divine Demon Array, but had instead fallen into a dire encirclement somewhere else.

At their head were two Golden Core cultivators.

One at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

One at the Early Stage of Golden Core.

What surprised Wen Jiu was that both were familiar faces.

Back when he was still in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, using the alias of Du the Corpse Cultivator, he had earned quite a few Spirit Stones off them.

...

A hundred li away.

White bones paved the road, howling wind harassed the forest.

A black Demon Banner hung high in midair, black Demonic Qi drifting with the wind to cover ten li of land. Within that chilling Demonic Qi, three headless black Bone Snakes were churning about, like Flood Dragons rampaging through rivers and lakes.

As they stirred the Demonic Qi, they constantly rammed against Pei Wuxing, who was shrouded by the Demonic Qi, slamming his Protective Spiritual Artifact until it boomed and shook, cracks gradually spreading. In just a little while longer, his Protective Spiritual Artifact would be shattered to pieces.

A young cultivator stood outside the ten li of Demonic Qi; this man was none other than Di Shenhan, the Master of the Three Gates of the Wusheng Three Gates.

Di Shenhan looked on with a faint smile at the bitterly struggling Pei Wuxing. "Master Pei, we truly hadn’t expected that back then, you’d ignore the lives of your junior martial sister and Direct Disciples and run.

Running is one thing, but how did you still dare come back coveting the things of the Little Demon Realm?

Coveting is one thing, but why did you even dare to kill my Direct Disciple for the sake of revenge?

Though that little toy wasn’t someone I truly took in, just used him and would have slaughtered him sooner or later to raise demons, that was my own business.

Isn’t this overstepping on your part?

Aren’t you just courting death?"

As his words fell.

Pei Wuxing’s voice, thick with hatred, rang out coldly.

"Di Shenhan, Huiquan, the blood feud of my junior martial sister and my Disciples... one day, you will pay the price!"

"Hahahahaha..."

The Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator controlling the Demon Banner burst into laughter first.

He was quite fond of this joke.

Di Shenhan shook his head, chuckling. "Master Pei, why are you getting more naive as you live on? You don’t actually think you can still walk away alive today, do you?

Originally, when Master Hui didn’t shatter your Golden Core, letting you escape by sheer luck, we could only butcher your junior martial sister and Direct Disciples instead.

Tsk tsk tsk, suddenly I recall, right before your junior martial sister died, she still risked her life to throw herself at Senior Huiquan, while shouting.

’Senior Brother, run, don’t care about me... don’t care about me...’

Tsk tsk tsk, truly too tragic to look upon.

I hurried to help you out by finishing her with a single palm. If I’d been any slower, her throat would’ve gone hoarse from shouting."

"Beast! Beast..."

Pei Wuxing roared in fury again and again, wanting to strike back, yet he was firmly suppressed by that Demon Banner, and an ordinary Tier Three Spiritual Artifact simply could not counter it.

The Heterodox Techniques he had cultivated over the years couldn’t injure the Black Bone Snakes in the slightest; instead, several churns from them scattered his spells like stars collapsing and clouds dispersing.

Just like back then, when he brought his junior martial sister and Disciples out of Wind and Cloud Immortal City and encountered Di Shenhan and Huiquan—equally powerless.

Seeing this, Di Shenhan’s killing intent grew even stronger. He raised his hand, and from his long sleeve shook out a blood-colored long vine.

The blood-colored long vine seemed to have eyes, surging straight into the ten li of Demonic Qi, pouncing toward Pei Wuxing, whose Protective Spiritual Artifact was on the verge of shattering.

"Senior Huiquan, though this man is weak, he is still a Heterodox Golden Core. If we just kill him outright, that’s truly a pity.

Why not let my Maple Demon Blood Vine parasitize him, cultivate him into a True Demon, so it can help our Black Demon Lineage grow stronger and infiltrate the West Mountain Floating Domain!"

"Since when could your Maple Demon Blood Vine, newly stepped into Tier Three, parasitize a Golden Core?" Huiquan asked.

"This Pei Wuxing’s Golden Core has already been damaged by you, his cultivation and strength will only decline day by day. He won’t be able to block this junior’s Maple Demon Blood Vine for long."

"If that’s the case, do as you please."

Di Shenhan was overjoyed. "Many thanks, Senior Huiquan."

He had gone to painstaking lengths to raise the Maple Demon Blood Vine precisely for this day.

Once the Maple Demon Blood Vine parasitized Pei Wuxing, the Wusheng Three Gates would gain another Golden Core-level combatant.

With war imminent, having an extra Golden Core-level protective means at his side in this great battle would let him earn a bit more merit.

Whether he could trade that merit with the Upper Sect for a Tier Three Middle-Grade Yin Pill to impact the Middle Stage of Golden Core would depend on how much credit he earned in this war!

As Di Shenhan rejoiced, the Maple Demon Blood Vine had already passed through the ten li of Demonic Qi and arrived before Pei Wuxing, merely waiting for his Protective Spiritual Artifact to shatter.
