Chapter 792: Maoshan Tribulation
At the top of the mountain, he found a strange sword stuck in the ground, and a cloud of smoke shrouded around the sword, and when he got closer, he could find that a formation map was drawn on the ground where the sword was inserted.
He tried to pull out the sword, but was stopped by the Demon King, who told him that the barrier would be broken when the sword was pulled out, and it was better not to move for the time being.
This sword is somewhat similar to the legendary Flying Smoke Sword, but it is likely to be a copycat version, and the genuine Flying Smoke Sword is at least a treasure-level magic weapon.
After inspecting the top of the mountain and confirming that there was no one else on the island, Shen Yifan returned to the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, since Maoshan sent a big event, he had to stay on this island for at least a few days to see if he could find any clues.
Mao Bayi checked him and the other classmates, including the bedrooms of the master and the uncle, and found that except for some high-level magic weapons commonly used by the master and uncle, there were almost no other things, and the other party might not have seen it.
The Demon King is actually most concerned about the treasure of the Maoshan faction - the artifact-level magic weapon Donghuang Zhong is still there, he faintly feels that the Maoshan faction has something to do with the Donghuang Bell, but he can't tell Mao Bayi now, otherwise he will doubt Shen Yifan's identity.
At this time, it was late at night, and there was no clue for the time being, so the two could only take turns sleeping. Someone must keep them awake at all times, in case the unidentified enemies return?
When Mao Bayi was asleep, the Demon King searched the entire island roughly, and he opened his divine sense, hoping to detect the spiritual power fluctuations of the artifact-level magic weapon, but there was no gain, the Eastern Emperor Bell was likely to have been snatched away, and the world may soon be in a catastrophe.
According to the situation back then, the five major artifacts supported the enchantment between the human world and the demon world, and if one of the artifacts was blocked or destroyed, the low-level demons of the demon world would be able to come to the human world unhindered.
Considering that after thousands of years of wear and tear, there is already a gap in the enchantment supported by the five major artifacts, which can be used by the lowest-level demons to pass through, if the Donghuang Bell is destroyed now, the monsters that can enter the human world will be able to reach about the six-grade level, which is not a small impact on the human world, after all, the number of monsters in the demon world is terrifying.
However, if only the sixth-grade level monsters can break into the human world, I believe that the demon world will not dare to carry out a unified invasion operation, for high-level cultivators, the six-grade monsters are completely vulnerable, no matter how many they are, it is useless, and these monsters can be defeated just by fighting the situation.
But there may not be a large-scale invasion, and small-scale infiltration is definitely indispensable, and the youkai who infiltrate the human world will go around to find out the information of the five major artifacts and try their best to destroy them.
And if the demon world destroys two artifacts, and the fourth-grade level monsters can easily enter the human world, the human world will be in danger.
If the three artifacts are destroyed, the second-grade level monsters can enter on a large scale, judging from the current strength of the human cultivators, it should be unstoppable, and the second-grade is basically equivalent to the elder level of the Great Gate Sect, and the number of human cultivators who can surpass this level is very limited.
When the four artifacts are destroyed, a large number of super-first-grade monsters will run rampant in the world, unless the immortals of all walks of life in the fairy world are alarmed, otherwise the world will be the world of monsters.
At present, the whereabouts of Donghuang Zhong are unknown, which is really a big hidden danger.
In addition to the Eastern Emperor Bell of the Maoshan faction, the Kunlun mirror of the Kunlun faction is likely to have fallen into the hands of ill-intentioned people.
After killing the four people of the Kunlun faction last time, the Filthy Demon King already knew the approximate location of the Kunlun Sect's current seclusion, and it seemed that it was time to go over there to take a look at the situation, because according to the Kunlun elder who was killed by the Filthy Demon King, the head of the Kunlun Sect is now actually controlled by a mysterious force, and it is estimated that he will not be able to keep the Kunlun Mirror.
In addition, the Kongtong seal is kept by the war situation, so it should be the safest.
Shennong Ding is in the hands of the Qingcheng faction, in fact, it is a bit dangerous, the comprehensive strength of the Qingcheng faction does not seem to be very good, the head Li Heyuan is too old, once something happens to him, it will be difficult for other elders to top, and Li Yinshuang, who has high hopes, is still too young, although the growth is already fast, but it is still very early for her to be able to take charge on her own.
However, Li Heyuan valued the independence of the Qingcheng faction very much, and was unwilling to join the war situation as a whole, nor was he willing to hand over Shennong Ding to the war situation for safekeeping.
He has a reason for doing this, and it is not necessarily a good thing to concentrate all the artifacts in the Battle Sudden Bureau, which is not monolithic, and if there is a high-level War Sudden Bureau official who defects, it will cause immeasurable losses.
Regarding Li Heyuan's choice, the Demon King agreed, anyway, the Qingcheng faction was in Liangxi, and if something really happened, he could go over to the rescue in time, and he didn't have to worry about the loss of Shennong Ding.
Finally, there is the Haotian Pagoda of the Shushan faction. The Shushan faction and the Maoshan faction lived in seclusion, and they disappeared, not knowing if they would be the same as the Maoshan faction, and they were suddenly wiped out.
Thinking of this, the Demon King felt very tired, he became the leader of the cultivators in the world, leading the major masters in the world to fight against the demon world, and finally succeeded in driving the demon invaders back, and now he is facing a crisis again, but the masters of the world will definitely not obey the command of him, a person of unknown origin, if they find out that Shen Yifan has a demon king hidden in his body, maybe they will find a way to destroy Shen Yifan humanely, it seems that this time there is no help, everything can only rely on themselves.
……
……
During the day the next day, Shen Yifan and Mao Bayi wandered around the island again, wanting to see if there were any clues, but they still found nothing.
Shen Yifan began to tentatively ask Mao Bayi if their Maoshan faction had a place to store treasures, or a forbidden place where no one could go except the head of the sect.
Of course, there is a forbidden place, that is, the bedroom of the master, but I saw it yesterday, and there is nothing unsightly in the bedroom of the head of Maoshan.
Shen Yifan was not at ease, so he went to rummage in the master's bedroom again.
The Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace is built by the earth mage, although the external shape and internal structure are very flat, but the decoration is very simple, and because there is no power supply, the style in the room is similar to the ancient Taoist temple in China, even if it is the bedroom of the head, in addition to the big bed, wardrobe, coffee table, desk, bookshelf, screen, there is no extra furniture.
After a careful search for a while, under the prompting of the Demon King, Shen Yifan really found that there was a handle behind the bookshelves of the master, and after pulling down the handle, there was a rumbling sound under the big bed, and then the ground opened an opening, and an earthen staircase appeared, leading to the basement under the bed.
Mao Bayi was a little excited at this time, maybe Maoshan treasures and all kinds of spell cheats are in this basement, now he is qualified to become the head of the new generation of Maoshan, although he is only a light commander, and there is no one under him, but with the name of the head of Maoshan, he can slowly absorb talents.
The two worked together to carry the bed away, and then Shen Yifan took out a flashlight and walked slowly down the stairs.
The basement space is very large, and it is not too easy for the earth mage to get a basement out, so this is easy to understand.
After walking to the end of the stairs, Shen Yifan found that there was a simple stone platform in the middle of the basement, and there was a circle of stone pillars around it, but there was nothing on the stone platform.
Judging from the experience of the Demon King, this stone platform is used to place the Donghuang Bell, and the surrounding stone pillars are used to arrange a defensive array, and the Donghuang Bell was indeed taken away by the invaders.
Mao Bayi searched frantically in the basement, but unfortunately he didn't find anything that could be used, he sat on the ground depressed, feeling that his future was dark, and the Maoshan faction was about to be completely destroyed in his hands.
After finding nothing in the basement, Shen Yifan had a plan to go home, and it didn't make sense to stay here, he still had to go back to take the college entrance examination, he couldn't wait here all the time, waiting for the intruders to come back, maybe they wouldn't come.
Mao Bayi asked Shen Yifan to help him unlock the seal at this time, otherwise he would be a complete waste, after unlocking the seal, he would at least be able to wander the rivers and lakes to see if he could pull a few more talented teenagers to get started, although he could not revive the prestige of the Maoshan faction with his strength, but at least it could be passed on from generation to generation, so as not to be completely wiped out.
Shen Yifan could only say that he was not capable of unlocking his seal.
Mao Bayi wanted to go back with Shen Yifan and find Shen Yifan's "master" to unseal it, he had to hug one thigh, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold in the cultivation realm at all.
Shen Yifan was very hesitant, he didn't want to keep this guy by his side, it was too dangerous, his strength was so strong, only the Demon King could restrain him, what if he left Liangxi City, what if he had the idea of having so many flowery wives!
He began to analyze the current situation with Mao Bayi, maybe there were other survivors of the Maoshan faction who would return here, so the best choice now was to stay here.
Even if Mao Bayi wants to go to land, he can also consider joining the war or defecting to the Qingcheng faction, for the sake of him being the only survivor of the Maoshan faction, other famous and decent factions will definitely give him food.
Shen Yifan's proposal made Mao Bayi want to cry without tears, Lao Tzu didn't want to be a beggar! I'm the new head of Maoshan, okay! Although I am the only one left in the whole sect, I still have the dignity that the head of the sect should have!
Regarding where Mao Bayi went, Shen Yifan simply didn't discuss it with him, and dragged it first, and then said it, at night, while Mao Bayi was asleep, the Demon King slipped onto the speedboat, drove the boat and ran, and when Mao Bayi found out, he was already trapped on the island, so angry that he scolded, but he was helpless. If he couldn't use spells, he couldn't leave this island at all.
……
……
For throwing Mao Bayi on that island alone, Shen Yifan and the Demon King don't feel guilty, whether the Maoshan faction can rise again depends on the will of heaven, they didn't kill Mao Bayi directly It's already kind-hearted, after all, this guy knows a lot of secrets that shouldn't be known.
When he drove near the mouth of the Yangtze River again, Shen Yifan hid his speedboat on a small desert island, maybe it would be useful in the future, and the boat bought for 150,000 yuan could not be thrown away.
