Chapter 657: Gathering Immortal Sea
"Should we go directly to Luanmo Ridge or walk around the Juxian Sea first?" Xiao Qing asked.
"What do you think?" Qin Ziling asked back.
"Let's take a walk and have a look first. Now that we have the second-level 'Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill', there is no rush to hunt down the fifth-grade monster. This Juxian Sea is a no-man's land. If the Wuji Sect can occupy a territory here, it will have much more room to move forward and backward in the future." Xiao Qing said.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Qin Ziling nodded.
As soon as Qin Ziling finished speaking, he saw demonic energy rising into the sky from the distant horizon, and huge waves wrapped around the demonic energy, rushing towards Qin Ziling rapidly.
Qin Ziling looked closely and found that it was a Ran Yi blood demon.
Qin Ziling had hunted the Ran Yi Blood Demon with Jin Yu and others in the Turbulent Abyss before, but this Ran Yi Blood Demon was smaller than that one.
This Ran Yi Blood Demon was already injured, with blood flowing from his body, and seemed to be escaping.
Sure enough, not long after Ran Yi Blood Demon appeared, a burly man with a whisker appeared in the distance , riding a trident and chasing him rapidly.
Although the Ran Yi Blood Demon was fleeing, its ferocious and bloodthirsty nature had not diminished at all. It keenly sensed the surging blood and energy of the person standing on the fairy boat in front of it. If it could devour it, it would recover immediately. Driven by instinct, the Ran Yi Blood Demon's body suddenly burst out with rolling demonic energy, and it rolled up its huge body and flew towards the Sky-piercing Fairy Shuttle.
Before its huge body pounced, the six claws under its belly had already stretched out towards Qin Ziling. Streams of demonic energy shot out from the six claws, wrapping around Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing like silk threads.
"Daoyou, get out of the way quickly!" The burly man with a curly beard behind him changed his expression drastically upon seeing this, and shouted hurriedly, while the trident shot out with a "whoosh" like lightning.
But he was too far away from Ran Yi Blood Demon and was out of reach.
Just as the six black streaks were about to entangle Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing, a sword light shot out from Qin Ziling's body and with a wave in the air, the six black streaks were immediately cut off.
"True Immortal!" The burly man with curly beard immediately changed his worry into joy and shouted loudly: "Daoyou, help me stop that evil beast, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Okay!" Qin Ziling smiled faintly, and with a flying sword he cut off the six black streaks condensed from demonic energy and went straight for the head of Ran Yi Blood Demon.
At this time, Ran Yi Blood Demon had already felt the powerful aura released from Qin Ziling, and also felt the trident that injured it coming from behind him breaking through the air. The cold murderous aura penetrated its body, and it instinctively became afraid again. With a whoosh, its huge body suddenly sank, ready to fall into the sea and continue to escape.
"Where are you escaping to!" Qin Ziling's flying sword flashed with sword light upon seeing this, sealing the space where Ran Yi Blood Demon was. He did not display his true strength, but instead displayed the combat power of a second-grade True Immortal.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
Ran Yi Blood Demon directly knocked away the sword lights in the sky, leaving scars on his body. Just as he was about to dive into the sea, the trident broke through the air and killed him.
Ran Yi Blood Demon had no choice but to wave his claws to resist.
"Please help me to clear the formation, just don't let this evil beast get away. Leave the rest to me." The burly man with curly beard was overjoyed when he saw that the Ran Yi Blood Demon was stopped. While driving the trident to fight with it, he said to Qin Ziling.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling agreed and retreated to the side to scout the formation.
The burly man with curly beard is a second-grade True Immortal. He has a very fierce fighting style. Sometimes when he gets excited about fighting, he will directly combine his man and halberd into one and engage in close combat with the Blood Demon Ran Yi.
In this battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. The waves were surging and the sea was dyed red. In the end, the burly man with a curly beard killed the Blood Demon Ran Yi.
"Ha ha!"
After the bearded man stabbed the blood demon Ran Yi to death with his last halberd, he laughed loudly. His body was covered in blood, and he looked indescribably rough and wild.
After a loud laugh, the bearded man quickly released a bronze chariot and placed the huge corpse of the Ran Yi Blood Demon on the chariot.
Then, the bearded man bowed to Qin Ziling and said, "My fellow Taoist and fairy are honored. I am Lei Keyu from Juxianhai.
Thanks to your help, I was able to kill this Ran Yi Blood Demon. I wonder if you two want the Ran Yi Blood Demon or the Immortal Stone as reward. If you want the Ran Yi Blood Demon, I will give you one third of it. If you want the Immortal Stone as reward, I will give you two thousand high-quality Immortal Stones. "
"Brother Daoist Lei, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. No need to ask for any reward." Qin Ziling smiled and waved his hand.
"No, I, Lei Keyu, never owe favors to others. Let's put it this way, the Ran Yixue monster is huge and difficult to carry, so I'll give it to you as immortal stones..." Lei Keyu said.
"Brother Daoist Lei, there's really no need for that. If you really don't want to owe us a favor, it just so happens that my husband and I are planning to go to Juxianhai to find a place to settle down. Since Brother Daoist Lei is from Juxianhai, could you show us the way?" Qin Ziling said, feeling a lot more favorable towards this heroic and upright man.
"So you two want to move to Juxian Sea. That's easy. Our Lei family has many idle islands in the East China Sea of Juxian. You can go and have a look. If you like them, I will come and make them a place for you to settle down." Lei Keyu said.
"Could the Lei family that Fellow Daoist Lei mentioned be the Lei family from Xianluo City in the East China Sea?" Qin Ziling asked.
The various forces in the Juxian Sea formed a loose alliance called Juxian Pavilion.
There are twelve elders in the Juxian Pavilion. Among them, Lei Yanlong, the lord of Xianluo City in Juxian East China Sea and the head of the Lei family, is one of the twelve elders and a sixth-grade true immortal.
These were naturally told to Qin Ziling by Shangguan Bing.
"That's right." Lei Keyu did not show any proud expression on his face when he heard this, he just nodded calmly.
"No wonder Brother Lei is so brave!" Qin Ziling praised.
"I don't deserve it!" Lei Keyu waved his hand modestly, and then invited Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing to get on his chariot.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing didn't bother to be polite with him. They put away the fairy boat and got on the chariot.
…
Jiuxuan Mountain, Xuansha Peak.
Peak Lord's Mansion.
Inside the main hall, Shentu Kun and Diyou Peak Master Yuwen Sen sat face to face again .
This time, the dome of the hall was covered with dark clouds, and there were faint flashes of lightning, which was very scary.
"Someone has seen Xiao Ren and Yan Jie in the sea area of Dadanshan blessed land, but no one has seen them since then, and the news about them has stopped there. Logically speaking, after they flew over the sea area of Dadanshan blessed land, they should first go to Lingyuanshan blessed land to investigate the matter of Ziyou Palace, and then go to Pingyushan blessed land ." Yuwen Sen said.
"With their cultivation and style, they shouldn't disappear out of thin air. The only explanation is that something happened to them in the sea between the Dadanshan blessed land and the Lingyuanshan blessed land, and they were most likely killed!" Shentu Kun said coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
“But with their strength, who can kill them without alerting the people in Dadanshan Blessed Land and Lingyuanshan Blessed Land?” Yuwen Sen said with a serious look on his face.
"Don't forget, there is a turbulent abyss at the bottom of the sea. If the opponent is a seventh-grade True Immortal and the battlefield is chosen to be in the turbulent abyss, it is entirely possible to kill Xiao Ren and Yan Jie without causing any alarm.
In this 90 million li sea area, in addition to the Jiuxuan Sect, there are also several seventh-grade and even eighth-grade true immortals. But if it is them, why do they do this? Aren't they afraid that our Jiuxuan Sect will find out and wipe them out? I always feel that this matter is a bit unusual. By the way, is there any news from Yan Gu? "Shentu Kun suddenly asked at the end.
"Yan Gu?" Yu Wensen's face changed slightly, and he said, "Brother, do you suspect that Yan Gu is in trouble too?"
"Yeah." Shen Tukun nodded, and a solemn expression finally appeared on his stern face. He said, "If something happens to Yan Gu, then this matter is very serious. It is very likely that it is aimed at us!"
"I will send someone to Juxian Sea." Yu Wensen said, and then said: "Then should Xiao Ren and Yan Jie invite..."
"No need for that. Let's continue to send people to investigate. The Xuantian Mirror is quite mysterious. If we ask the sect leader to take action, in case he finds out something else, it would backfire." Shentu Kun said.
"I understand!" Yu Wensen nodded, then stood up and disappeared into the hall like a ghost.
…
Twenty or three hundred thousand miles away from the Yaoye Mountain blessed land is the East Sea of the Juxian Sea.
Lei Keyu's chariot, carrying a huge Ran Yixue demon beast, headed all the way to the Juxian Sea, alarming many people.
However, when they saw Lei Keyu's posture, they all stayed away from him. No one dared to come forward to join in the fun, let alone come forward to kill and rob.
A second-grade true immortal is already considered a master in the 90 million miles of sea area of Jiuxuan Mountain and the 18 million miles of Juxian Sea area.
Generally speaking, no one dares to rob and kill openly.
As Lei Keyu drove the chariot through the wind and waves, after a day, Qin Ziling discovered that the surrounding environment had begun to change at some point.
There are almost no islands to be seen in the sea. Not only that, the space here is a bit disordered and the climate changes greatly.
It was calm the moment before, but suddenly there was a violent storm with huge waves, and even some space cracks appeared in the void.
Also, the air here is mixed with significantly more demonic energy than other places.
However, the overall concentration of fairy spirit is not low, and is not inferior to those blessed places in the Jiuxuan Mountain sea area.
We sailed against the wind and waves for another ten days.
Qin Ziling found that more and more people were traveling on the sea, and he also began to see some islands.
The islands are distributed relatively concentratedly, with dozens here and dozens there. In some places, there are even hundreds or thousands of islands, but there are very few isolated islands far away in the sea.
Not only that, the islands here are generally not large in area, and they look rather desolate, with bare rocks and jagged shapes all around and very little vegetation.
Many islands are deserted and uninhabited. The only inhabited areas are those with relatively rich vegetation, vitality and lush greenery. It is not known whether they were like that originally or were later transformed.
