Chapter 296: Excitement

Under Sword Eyes.

The berserk old man’s man that was wrapped in demonic energy was torn apart, crushed, and shattered!

Only when it shattered into pieces and scattered at the bottom of the pit did the sword light and pressure disappear.

[Mixed Bloodseeker Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

Su Jingxing quietly extracted a card. In his Essence Soul state, he floated in the air and released his soul power to cover the ball of black demonic energy at the bottom of the pit.

With a thought, his soul power absorbed the surrounding sand to wrap around the demonic energy. It became a lump in the air.

Su Jingxing carefully sensed to ensure that the demonic energy would not leak out and retracted his soul power.

Thump!

The football-sized black mudball lost its control and fell to the edge of the pit.

As the mud ball rolled, the eyelids of the middle-aged man and the others twitched.

Subsided!

A second ago, they were in despair, thinking that they were doomed this time.

In the next second, the terrifying and ferocious old man turned into a pile of residue.

Almost without any ability to resist, he was sliced into pieces by the sword light and scattered at the bottom of the pit.

The change came so fast that the middle-aged man and company were stunned for a moment before they suddenly came to their senses.

“The… The Ki-Kingdom Defending Martial Sage…”

As he came back to his senses, the middle-aged man struggled to get up from the ground and shouted excitedly at Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

“I, Wu Qifen of the Celestial Pole Sect, thank the Martial Sage!”

“Thank you, Martial Sage!”

“Wang Kaimen of the Celestial Pole Sect thanks the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, for arriving and saving us.”

“Greetings, Martial Sage!”

…

When the others heard Wu Qifen’s shout, they all echoed and joined in the thanking.

Everyone sounded agitated and surprised.

Martial Sage!

No one expected the Martial Sage to descend from the sky in time and kill the berserk old man.

It had been decades since the last time a Martial Sage appeared.

They did not expect the next appearance to be in the Celestial Pole Sect.

If not for the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, all of them would have died.

The deranged old man was actually so terrifying.

Fortunately, the Martial Sage arrived in time.

…

“What was going on with him?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul maintained a state of illusion. In this state, the Essence Soul would glow and conceal its figure and appearance.

In the eyes of Wu Qifen, Wang Kaimen, and the others, Su Jingxing’s entire body was glowing. They couldn’t even take a few more glances at him. They could only lower their heads.

Faced with the question, the Sect Master of the Celestial Pole Sect, Wu Qifen, forced himself to stand up and replied respectfully, “Martial Sage, this person who turned heretic was the Supreme Elder of the Celestial Pole Sect, Luo Jinhong. He and two other Supreme Elders were guarding the entrance of the Demon’s Den when demonic energy that suddenly surged invaded their bodies. “Search newn0vel.0rg on google”The other two Supreme Elders couldn’t withstand the corrosion of the demonic energy and died. Although Elder Luo Jinhong managed to withstand it, he was turned into a demon by the demonic energy. If not for the timely arrival of the Martial Sage, the Celestial Pole Sect would have been wiped out by him.”

“Demon’s Den?” Su Jingxing caught the main point.

“Yes, there is a Demon’s Den at the bottom of the back mountain of the Celestial Pole Sect.”

Wu Qifen replied respectfully, “We don’t know much about the history of the Demon’s Den either. We only know that the founder of the Celestial Pole Sect chose to establish the sect in Dongting Mountain mainly to guard it.

“For the past 2,000 years, every generation’s Supreme Elders have guarded the entrance of the Demon’s Den. Although no demons have ever come up, demonic energy will surge from time to time. At this time, we will use an array formation to force the demonic energy back.

“This time, the surge of the demonic energy was too fast and violent, which resulted in the death of two Supreme Elders and the conversion of one into a demon.”

Su Jingxing kept quiet.

Demon’s Den?

There is actually a Demon’s Den at the bottom of the back mountain of Dongting Mountain.

The Celestial Pole Sect’s mission is to guard the Demon’s Den.

For thousands of years, they never stopped.

From this point of view, Wu Qifen and the others are really noble.

The Demon’s Den was no joke. It was the lair of Ancient Demons. Regardless of whether the Ancient Demons were inside or not, just the remnant demonic energy was enough to cause widespread destruction.

Its invasion of Luo Jinhong and his transformation into a demon was an example.

Demonic energy was difficult to eliminate.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul could only kill Luo Jinhong with the Sword Eyes, but it could not eliminate the demonic energy.

The black mudball lying on the ground was filled with demonic energy. Su Jingxing had only temporarily imprisoned it.

To eliminate the demonic energy, perhaps the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand can do so?

Demon Suppression, Demon Suppression.

This incomplete soul skill left behind by the nameless senior could not have been named casually.

It’s most likely related to restraining demons and demonic energy.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing wished he could get a few more Deduction Cards.

Without the Deduction Card, cultivating the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand was a pipe dream.

Unfortunately, Deduction Cards were rare.

…

“Take me to the Demon’s Den.”

With his mind racing, Su Jingxing suppressed his other thoughts and said in a middle-aged man’s deep voice, “I’ll send this demonic ball back while at that.”

“Yes.”

Wu Qifen exhaled, loosened his muscles and bones, and led the way.

A few elders with lighter injuries also followed behind.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul floated in the air with the demonic ball.

The group entered the depths of the back mountain.

While the others were discussing excitedly with lingering fear, Su Jingxing’s main body retreated silently and left the back mountain. He rushed back to the entrance of the sect and waited for an opportunity to leave.

The demon had been eliminated, and the Martial Sage had arrived.

The defensive array formation was quickly removed, and the huge semi-sphere of light disappeared.

Su Jingxing’s main body found the entrance he came in from and quietly returned outside.

…

Deep in the back mountain.

In an underground space a hundred meters deep into a cave.

In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing stood at the edge of a pitch-black cave with a diameter of ten meters and an unknown depth, looking down at the bottom of the cave.

The Essence Soul’s vision was extremely special. As long as Su Jingxing was willing, he could see it from even a thousand miles away.

However, at this moment, in the face of this cave enveloped by the array formation, not much of the inside of the abyss-like Demon’s Den could be seen.

Su Jingxing estimated that his vision only reached a thousand meters at most.

There was nothing within a thousand meters.

It was empty except for a few wisps of demonic energy floating around.

Retracting his gaze, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul asked, “Has something like this happened before?”

“No.”

Wu Qifen replied respectfully, “In the past, the amount of demonic energy that surged was extremely limited, unlike this time, when a large amount of it gushed out in an instant. The three Supreme Elders were caught off guard and struck. If not for…”

“There’s no need to say anything else.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul interrupted indifferently, “I’ll have to continue to trouble you guys with the situation here. However, I’ll come and check again.”

Wu Qifen and the elders were excited.

He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement. Facing Su Jingxing, he bowed and shouted respectfully, “Wu Qifen, on behalf of all the disciples of the Celestial Pole Sect, thank you, Martial Sage!”

With Su Jingxing’s words, the Celestial Pole Sect was finally secured.

The existence of the Demon’s Den was like a mountain that weighed down on the hearts of all the upper echelons of the Celestial Pole Sect.

Unless absolutely necessary, Wu Qifen dared not let the disciples know.

This time, Luo Jinhong had turned into a demon and almost slaughtered the entire sect. He didn’t know how to deal with the aftermath.

Now, with Su Jingxing’s words, consolation would be much easier.

A Martial Sage was paying attention to the Demon’s Den.

Almost half of the mountain above their heads had been moved away!
