Chapter 629: Thank you for your hard work!
"Well, let's make a deal. You continue to use the secret art of the Netherworld Life-Devouring Technique. When I think it's okay, you stop. Then I will tell you who I am and what secret art I used." Qin Ziling said seriously.
"Puff!" Elder Yan was so depressed when he heard this that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You, you really used the secret technique, you are trying to trick me!" Elder Yan pointed at Qin Ziling with trembling fingers, but he did not dare to stop using the secret technique suddenly.
Firstly, all is fair in war, and he still had doubts about Qin Ziling's words. Even if Qin Ziling's words were true, there would be a price to pay for using the secret technique. If he withdrew now, all his previous efforts would be wasted. Secondly, if he stopped using the secret technique and without the Gate of the Underworld to suppress Qin Ziling, if he suddenly attacked, in his current state, he would most likely not be able to resist and would definitely be seriously injured again.
He is now like a crumbling building. If he is hit hard again, he will most likely collapse with no hope of escape.
Therefore, Elder Yan was in a dilemma at this time.
If he insists, he will most likely be outlasted.
If he didn't persist, he would most likely die immediately.
"Fellow Daoist, you have lived to such an old age in vain. If you want to kill us, who else should we kill if not you?" Qin Ziling said.
Elder Yan's finger, which was pointing at Qin Ziling, trembled even more violently, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing more.
I really have nothing to say!
Now, he could only hope that the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land would close soon.
If he can hold out until the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land closes, he still has a glimmer of hope of escaping.
Qin Ziling was secretly delighted to see that Elder Yan was indeed frightened by his words and did not decisively withdraw the secret technique. However, his eyes were fixed on Elder Yan, as if he was determined to hold on to the end.
With the help of such high-quality power of death, the four leaders were very efficient in overcoming the wind and fire disaster. They extinguished the wind and fire in a short time and survived the wind and fire disaster.
Wind and fire disasters are different from thunder disasters.
Once the thunder tribulation begins, everything depends on God's will. The person who is going through the tribulation can only grit his teeth and get through it no matter how many thunders God gives.
But the wind and fire disasters are different.
Wind and fire disasters come from the inside out.
Generally, strong winds and fires will last for three days and three nights.
If you can endure it, the wind and fire will suddenly disappear without a trace, just as they suddenly appeared.
If you can't make it through, you will naturally turn into ashes.
But there is also a situation that will end the wind and fire calamity ahead of time. That is when going through the wind and fire calamity, the strength continues to rise, and then the wind and fire are directly extinguished.
Of course, wind and fire cleansing is a rare opportunity. Even if the strength of ordinary people continues to increase and they can directly extinguish the wind and fire, they will still endure for three days and three nights, waiting for the wind and fire catastrophe to subside on its own.
But the situation of the four songs is different now.
The sixth-rank true immortal used his secret technique to transform his own vital energy and blood into the death force of the underworld to help him improve his cultivation and overcome the calamity of wind and fire.
Where in this world can you find such a selfless sixth-grade immortal?
Compared with what Qin Ziling heard in his previous life, such as cutting flesh to feed eagles and sacrificing one's body to feed tigers, the spirit of "If I don't go to hell, who will" is no less impressive.
This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So how could I possibly finish these four songs in three days and three nights?
As soon as his strength reached the level of a third-grade Hades Immortal General, he immediately found a way to extinguish the wind and fire, and then continued to greedily absorb the pure and high-quality Netherworld death force.
The other four Hades Immortal Generals would soon extinguish the wind and fire one after another, and then continue to absorb the deadly power of the Netherworld.
"You old thief, didn't you say that I was trying to trick you? Why haven't you withdraw your Netherworld Life-Devouring Secret Technique?" Qin Ziling asked with gritted teeth.
His cave world was shrinking more and more, and the stench of rotting flesh and blood escaping from the cave could already be smelled in the air.
Elder Yan clenched his teeth tightly, with a gloomy face, and did not answer Qin Ziling.
His body became increasingly thinner, and he was shivering in mid-air, as if a gust of could blow him away.
But he still held on.
"You old thief, you have secret skills, and I also have secret skills. What's more, I am still young and a human immortal with vigorous vitality. You will definitely not be able to outlast me. You'd better give up quickly. The sooner you give up, the less suffering you will suffer." Qin Ziling continued to provoke him.
"Little thief, you are indeed not simple, and I did misjudge you, but death is the most mysterious force between heaven and earth, and its power is irresistible. Even the most powerful immortal cannot escape death.
You can only delay the pace of death by using the secret technique at best. If you continue to endure, you will still die in the end! How about this, you withdraw the sword formation and take back the cave, and I will take back the secret technique. Otherwise, we will continue to endure and see who can survive until the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land closes. "Seeing Qin Ziling's repeated provocations, Elder Yan thought the time was right and put forward his own conditions.
"Old thief, it's impossible for me to let you go! You are a sixth-grade true immortal, and there must be someone behind the scenes. If I let you go, with my cultivation level, and now my foundation has been damaged, will I have any way to survive in the future?" Qin Ziling's face trembled several times, then he gritted his teeth.
"I can swear." said Elder Yan.
"Do you think I will believe what people like you say? I only believe in dead people." Qin Ziling curled his lips.
"You..." Elder Yan's fingers trembled again, but he really couldn't think of any other way to give a guarantee.
After that, Elder Yan stopped talking. He just gritted his teeth and continued to output his immortal power, urging the Black Prison Demon Knife and the White Bone Claw to resist Yin Ranyue's attack, while continuously outputting his qi, blood and vitality to maintain the secret art of the Netherworld Life-Devouring Technique .
Qin Ziling was overjoyed when he saw Elder Yan gritting his teeth and holding on to the end.
It’s really getting on the road!
Pure netherworld death force surged into the dark land in the west of the cave world.
The four songs finally ushered in their third wind and fire disaster!
This time the wind and fire disaster was even more ferocious.
Fortunately, with the help of the Netherworld Death Power transformed from the vitality of the sixth-grade True Immortal's blood and the third-grade "Deliverance Pill" refined by the Fire Dragon, the four heads were able to cross the river safely.
There is no way, the level of the sixth-grade true immortal is much higher than that of the four.
As the Four Heads encountered their third wind and fire calamity, the four Hades Immortal Generals, Yuan Da, Yuan Er, Xiong Da and Ying Bao, also encountered their third wind and fire calamity one after another.
This time, it took the four songs a relatively long time to put out the wind and fire.
It took Yuan Da and the others longer.
After they had survived the third wind and fire calamity and became fourth-rank Hades Immortal Generals, the increase in their strength began to obviously slow down. It was no longer realistic for them to rely on the netherworld death force transformed from Elder Yan's blood and vitality to survive the fourth wind and fire calamity.
However, it was rare that Elder Yan was willing to make such a big sacrifice, so Qin Ziling was still willing to let him live a little longer, so he continued to "struggle to support" the cave and continue to endure with him.
“Boom!”
The ground began to shake suddenly and violently.
There were many fractures, and lava flames shot up into the sky.
"The Fire Abyss forbidden land is about to close, little thief, why don't you withdraw the sword formation?" Seeing the earth shaking, Elder Yan really wanted to cry.
It’s not easy!
If the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land were to close in another hour or two, Elder Yan felt that he would not be able to hold on.
Now, he finally got his day.
Now everyone is trying to escape. As long as Qin Ziling withdraws the sword formation, he can make a desperate burst of energy and block their attack, and he will have a chance to escape.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Qin Ziling suddenly smiled at Elder Yan, a very sincere smile.
For some reason, Elder Yan's hair stood on end, and an unspeakable sense of crisis surged in his heart.
"What do you mean?" Elder Yan blurted out.
Elder Yan's words had not yet fallen.
Suddenly, the breath of death in the cave world disappeared without a trace like the receding tide of the sea.
Except for the dilapidated appearance shown earlier, the overall cave world is bright and sunny, full of vitality and power.
The majestic and heavy aura of the sixth-grade True Immortal level emanated from the cave world again.
"Impossible!" Elder Yan's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible!" Qin Ziling smiled proudly.
Five dark shadows stepped out of the cave, and the powerful force of death rushed towards the gate of the underworld like a surging tide.
"boom!"
The gate of the underworld collapsed, and the black python began to explode from its head, turning into a rolling deadly force and rushing towards Elder Yan.
The power of death backfired on Elder Yan.
Elder Yan was spurting blood.
“Boom!”
The cave world fell towards Elder Yan.
"General of the Underworld! You use General of the Underworld to absorb my death power!" Facing the falling of the cave world, Elder Yan did not resist or evade, but just stared at Qin Ziling with a pair of eyes, an expression of sudden realization and self-mockery on his face.
He knew that this time he not only failed, but also failed miserably. He even paid with his life and worked as a laborer for others in vain.
Now he was powerless and had no chance of escape.
"What's going on with your cave heaven?" Elder Yan asked as the cave heaven was suppressed.
A fairy baby that was completely black and exuded a cold and deathly aura slowly rose from behind Qin Ziling's head.
“Immortal Infant of the Netherworld! You actually cultivated into an Immortal Infant of the Netherworld! That is your own power of death in the cave! I cannot accept this, I cannot accept this!”
After Elder Yan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly bulged out and he died.
Because Qin Ziling's cave has been suppressed.
As soon as Elder Yan died, Qin Ziling did not dare to delay. He quickly put away the cave world and then moved Elder Yan's body into the cave world.
An extremely bright rainbow of fairy power suddenly stretched across the sky, sweeping away the previous dilapidated scene of the entire cave world, and it suddenly became sunny and full of vitality.
…
“Boom!”
The cracked ground on Chiyan Island slowly closed.
Human figures kept jumping out from inside.
Qin Ziling and Yin Ranyue stood on the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle, overlooking the area below. Thinking of the life-and-death battle just now, they felt overwhelmed and even had a sense of unreality.
Because these two first-grade True Immortals joined forces and actually killed a sixth-grade True Immortal and captured a fourth-grade True Immortal alive.
Lei Xiao, who was standing behind the two of them, looked at Qin Ziling's back and couldn't help but reveal awe in his eyes.
She was born with intelligence very early, and had accompanied several generations of masters of Xuanting Peak. She had experienced many storms and met many amazing geniuses, but no amazing genius had ever made her feel as deeply in awe as Qin Ziling.
Now, she finally understood why even a powerful one-eyed fire dragon was willing to recognize Qin Ziling as his master.
"Let's go! I'll take you home." Qin Ziling shook his sore arm and said softly to Yin Ranyue.
Just now, he borrowed the power of the cave sky of the Qiankun Ring without considering the consequences, and forced the power of his cave sky to break through to the level of sixth-grade true immortal. Now the power of the cave sky of the Qiankun Ring has receded like a tide, and his cave sky has been beaten back to its original form. Now Qin Ziling feels as if his body has been torn apart by some terrifying force, and the feeling of soreness and tearing comes from time to time. Even though he has taken the healing elixir and the Wuchen Yuandan to replenish his qi, blood and strength, there is still not much relief.
"Yeah." Yin Ranyue nodded, and then said: "Master, you must be feeling very uncomfortable. Sit on me and I will massage your shoulders and arms."
"It's okay, this pain will pass soon." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"But I want to do something for the young master." Yin Ranyue said softly.
"Okay then." Seeing that Yin Ranyue insisted, Qin Ziling sat down as she said and rested his head on Yin Ranyue's soft and elastic thighs.
Yin Ranyue smiled happily upon seeing this, then stretched out her hands and gently kneaded Qin Ziling's shoulders and arms. A trace of electric arcs were released with her kneading and penetrated into Qin Ziling's muscles, making him feel sore and numb, but surprisingly comfortable.
"Oh my god, electrotherapy!" Qin Ziling felt a wave of sour and numb feeling spread throughout his body as Yin Ranyue's fingertips kneaded him, and his expression was subtle.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable?" Yin Ranyue asked uneasily.
"No, no, it's very comfortable, very comfortable. You can increase the strength. I have thick skin." Qin Ziling said quickly.
"Yeah." Yin Ranyue nodded and increased his strength.
Lei Xiao looked at Yin Ranyue massaging Qin Ziling's shoulders and patting his arms, feeling filled with emotion.
This is the master of Xuanting Peak of Jiuxuan Sect. Now together with her, he is a powerful man that even a sixth-grade True Immortal can defeat!
As a result, now I am having my shoulders massaged and arms beaten by a man!
However, Lei Xiao felt that this was all normal.
Qin Ziling squinted his eyes and enjoyed Yin Ranyue's kneading, while separating a part of his soul and manifesting himself in the cave world.
"Who are you and why do you want to kill Yin Ranyue?" Qin Ziling asked calmly as he stood in front of the woman in palace dress.
The woman in palace dress was tied up with the Immortal Binding Rope and was suppressed in the middle of the thirty-six Leixun stone formations.
"You killed Elder Yan?" The woman in palace dress looked at Qin Ziling with shock and disbelief on her face.
"So the old thief's surname is Yan, and he's an elder." Qin Ziling looked relieved, then pointed to the brightest rainbow of immortal power across the sky and said, "You should be able to feel the breath of Elder Yan from that rainbow!"
The woman in palace dress looked up at the sky, her face pale, and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, the woman in palace dress said, "My name is Shangguan Bing, Elder Yan's name is Yan Gu, and we are from Juxian Pavilion."
"Juxian Pavilion?" Qin Ziling frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about Juxian Pavilion."
"The Juxian Pavilion is actually a loose alliance organization composed of many large and small forces. Its influence covers an area of 18 million miles of sea, called the Juxian Sea.
The Juxian Sea is located where the three major forces of Jiuxuan Mountain, Siyou Mountain and Nanbo Mountain meet. It is also a buffer zone for the three major forces and can be regarded as a no-man's land.
Some independent cultivators from the three major forces, or some immortals who were unwilling to submit to the control of the three major forces, or some immortals who had offended powerful figures in the three major forces, chose to go to the Juxian Sea to live, practice or seek refuge. Over time, many forces of varying sizes were formed.
When there are many forces, there will definitely be internal and external conflicts and fights, and many people will definitely be killed or injured. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and casualties and maintain a certain order and stability, everyone decided to form an alliance.
The alliance will formulate some rules and punish those who break the rules, but the alliance has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of each faction. The members of this alliance come from various forces and independent cultivators in the Juxian Sea, and the law enforcers are also selected from various forces and independent cultivators.
The Juxian Pavilion does not have a Pavilion Master, but only elders. There are twelve elders, all of whom are at least fifth-rank True Immortals. These twelve elders form the Elders Council. If the various forces in the Juxian Sea Area fight too fiercely, the Elders Council will need to come forward to administer justice. Usually, they do not intervene in other forces' affairs.
Elder Yan came to the Juxian Sea a thousand years ago. According to him, he was a casual cultivator who came to the Juxian Sea to practice because he did not want to submit to other forces and be driven by others.
Thousands of years ago, Elder Yan was a fifth-grade True Immortal. A fifth-grade True Immortal was already very powerful in the Juxian Sea Area. His arrival could greatly increase the power of the Juxian Sea Area, so the Juxian Sea Area naturally welcomed him.
Elder Yan was a low-key person, generous, and righteous in many ways, and he soon gained the respect of everyone. Moreover, he was independent and not involved with other forces in the Juxian Sea, so he was the most popular among the independent cultivators. Then, after an elder got into trouble, he was naturally elected as the elder.
I was originally a casual cultivator in the Nanboshan Sea Area. I came to the Juxian Sea Area to escape from my enemies. One time, I accidentally saw Elder Yan killing people and robbing goods, collecting ghosts to sacrifice magic weapons, and practicing secret techniques. He wanted to kill me to silence me, but seeing that my cultivation was not low and coveting my beauty, he gave me a secret pill.
This pill needs to be taken with an antidote regularly, otherwise when the time comes, the power of death will devour my vitality in my body, not only will it make me feel like I'm being bitten by thousands of ants, causing me great pain, but it will also quickly drain my vitality and lifespan. Now that Yan Gu has been killed by you, please let me die quickly so that I don't have to suffer any more."
At the end of his speech, Shangguan Bing had a calm expression on his face, as if he had finally been liberated.
"So, you don't know why Yan Gu wanted to kill Yin Ranyue?" Qin Ziling couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard that.
"Yes. Yin Ranyue is the leader of Xuanting Peak. Killing her is a huge matter. I tried to probe him several times out of curiosity, but he didn't reveal a word." Shangguan Bing replied.
"It seems that the Netherworld Palace is acting very cautiously. But this is good. At least it shows that the Netherworld Palace's power in the Jiuxuan Mountain waters is still very limited, and they dare not kill important figures of the Jiuxuan Sect in a high-profile manner." Qin Ziling touched his chin. Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes, his heavy mood was relieved a lot.
