Chapter 117: Exploration
In the main hall of the Heavenly Xuan Immortal Sect, many sect elders sat in it.
Sitting at the top of the position was Li Taixuan, the sect leader of the Heavenly Xuan Immortal Sect, who was already more than a few thousand years old, and the cultivation at the peak of the Merge Realm was the first person recognized by the Kyushu Continent.
Even the Nether Demon Venerable had been placed under Li Taixuan's hands.
In addition to Li Taixuan, the Taixuan Immortal Sect also has two deputy sect masters, the eight core elders, all of whom are also cultivators of the Merge Realm, as well as many inner and outer sect elders.
Since the Taixuan Immortal Sect has been able to dominate the Kyushu Continent for tens of thousands of years, its strength is naturally very strong.
However, thousands of years ago, the Netherworld Demon Sect suddenly rose and gathered a large number of masters in a short period of time, seriously threatening the status of the Taixuan Immortal Sect.
Subsequently, the two sides launched a tragic battle that lasted for a thousand years, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
In the end, the Nether Demon Sect seized half of the Kyushu Continent, and the two sides entered the confrontation stage.
Although the fighting stopped, there was often friction between the two sides, and skirmishes continued to break out.
At this time, the elders all entered the main hall one after another, and Li Taixuan said: "I gathered you today, mainly to say something!" ”
"The Demon Cave has been a little unpeaceful recently, they are very close to the Nether Demon Sect, and there seem to be signs of joining forces. Let's talk about what you think about this matter! ”
Hearing this, many elders whispered among themselves.
Soon, someone stood up and said: "Sect Master, many Demon Venerable Demon Venerables have many demon cultivators from the Demon Cave, and now that the two sides are in close contact, I think it is very likely that the two of them will unite, we must take precautions as soon as possible!" ”
"I don't think so, you also know the situation of the Demon Cave, the Nine Domains of the Demon Cave are fighting separately, and it is impossible to join forces, and the Netherworld Demon Sect has backstabbed the Demon Cave at the beginning, and it is impossible to unite again!"
In fact, the Nether Demon Venerable used to be a domain master who was also a demon cave.
Later, it seems that he has been inherited by the primitive demon clan, and his strength has increased greatly.
Then, he united with the major domain lords of the Demon Cave to counterattack the Kyushu Continent, and it was precisely because of the support of the Demon Cave that the Netherworld Demon Sect could rise so quickly.
However, after the Nether Demon Venerable succeeded, he suddenly backstabbed and killed all the domain masters who did not respect his orders.
This also caused the Nether Demon Sect to fall into a brief period of chaos.
However, soon, the Nether Demon Venerable suppressed the crowd with his monstrous demonic might, and at the same time, expelled those who kept commanding from the Demon Cave.
Although there is less demonic energy in the Kyushu Continent, the living environment here is much better than that of the Demon Cave, and many demonic cultivators are naturally reluctant to leave.
In the end, the Nether Demon Venerable suppressed the rebellion with both hard and soft methods.
After this, the Netherworld Demon Sect also completely broke with the Demon Cave, but at this time, the Netherworld Demon Sect has become a behemoth, and without the Demon Cave, he can also compete with the Tianxuan Immortal Sect.
Because of this, some elders believe that it is impossible for the two to unite again.
However, there are also people who believe that thousands of years have passed, and the domain masters of the Demon Cave have changed several times, and the original matter may have been forgotten, and it is not impossible to cooperate again.
The two sides started an argument about this, and everyone seemed to have a certain point.
If this discussion continues, it may not be possible to argue for several days.
And at this moment, a deputy sect master of the Heavenly Xuan Immortal Sect stood up and said, "Sect Master, it is still unknown whether the Demon Cave and the Netherworld Demon Sect will cooperate now!" ”
"It's just a waste of time to argue here now, as far as I am, it's better to send a disciple to the cave in the name of training and find out!"
"If the matter is true, then the disciples can secretly sabotage the cooperation between the two, if it is just a rumor, it is just an experience, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it better!"
This suggestion was immediately approved by everyone present.
Li Taixuan pondered slightly for a moment, and also felt that this method was good, so he spoke: "Your suggestion is very good, but the demon cave is full of demonic energy, and there are monsters everywhere, which is very dangerous. ”
"In order to ensure safety, I think it is better to send a few elders to accompany you!"
Immediately, Li Taixuan made a decision to send core disciples to the Demon Cave in batches to explore the movements of the Demon Cave in the name of training.
As an inner disciple, Xu Ning is not qualified to participate in this matter.
However, he still learned about this from Duan Feng and the others, and he knew that the plan was half successful.
Two days later, the five Distraction Stage Elders set off with nearly twenty core disciples, and Duan Feng was among them.
Before leaving, Xu Ning handed Duan Feng a messenger and asked him to report his position to the messenger every once in a while.
As for who the owner on the other side of the messenger was, Xu Ning did not explain, which also made Duan Feng very curious.
Not only that, but he was also full of curiosity about Xu Ning's identity, giving him an extremely mysterious feeling.
Soon, Duan Feng and his entourage, under the leadership of the elders, entered the demon cave.
The environment here is really several times worse than that of the Kyushu Continent, the aura is thin and the demonic aura is rich.
Staying in this environment, the strength of Duan Feng and other righteous path cultivators was reduced a lot.
Since the Tianxuan Immortal Sect often sent disciples to the Demon Cave to practice, he was quite familiar with the environment around the Demon Cave.
At the same time, they also knew that the closest city near the outer periphery of the Demon Cave was Linyuan City.
Their purpose was also to get close to the vicinity of Linyuan City and obtain some information about the Demon Cave from other demon cultivators.
Not long after a group of people walked out, they encountered a group of monsters with no intelligence.
Without the need for the elders to make a move, the core disciples rushed to take the lead, wanting to show their strength.
In less than a moment, the monsters were swept away.
Then, everyone continued to move forward cautiously, and as a result, just after taking a few steps, another group of monsters attacked.
And then, there were constantly monsters attacking Duan Feng and the others, but they were all solved by the disciples one by one.
However, the elder seemed to have spotted the clue, "Something is not right! This is still the periphery of the Demon Cave, and the demonic energy is thin, why do we encounter so many monsters along the way, it is really a bit abnormal! ”
The reason why these five elders were able to lead the team was because they often went in and out of the demon cave and knew the situation here very well.
"Yes, that's not right! We had only gone deeper than twenty kilometers before we encountered seven or eight waves of monster attacks, which was not normal! ”
"Monsters appear on a large scale in the outer areas, it is likely that something has happened in the demon cave!"
"Could it be that the Netherworld Demon Sect has really joined forces with the Demon Cave, so it caused the turmoil within the Demon Cave?"
The five elders discussed and went deeper carefully, but found that the monsters did not decrease, but more and more, and their strength became stronger and stronger.
Right now!
"Boom!" Suddenly there was an explosion in the sky.
I saw that the endless demonic qi in the air began to converge, and three incomparably terrifying auras rushed towards them.
The faces of everyone in the Tianxuan Immortal Sect changed greatly, with such a terrifying momentum, it was definitely a demon at the level of a demon lord.
The five elders' scalps were numb, and they shouted, "Run!" ”
