Chapter 1368 Fate is hard to defy
Five hundred thousand li to the east of Luoxia Mountain lies a vast mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of li.
The mountain range rises and falls dramatically, various minor demons roam freely, and high above, the winds and clouds surge, with demonic energy soaring into the sky.
One after another, powerful demon figures converged on this place from all directions. In just three days, dozens of powerful demons of different appearances had gathered in the center of the mountain range.
They were all at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, each taking human form and occupying a mountain peak. Although they did not actively release their pressure, the powerful aura emanating from their breath alone was enough to frighten countless lesser demons in the forest, causing their legs to go weak and them to lie on the ground trembling.
In the valley at the center, Ling Yu transformed into human form, sat upright on a stone chair, and looked up at the great demons on various mountain peaks.
Although these great demons had all transformed into human form, their bodies were mostly several zhang or even tens of zhang in size, and they sat so high that it could only look up to see their faces clearly.
After glancing around, Ling Yu sat up straight and said slowly, "Now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point."
No demon answered; the great demons simply watched Ling Yu silently without making a sound.
But it was precisely this that put even more pressure on Ling Yu. Without a leader to suppress them, these great demons were all incredibly arrogant and would not obey her orders at all.
It took a light breath and continued, "As you all know, the commander was killed by the human cultivators who invaded this time. This means that the pass token leading to the second level of the Immortal Palace has reappeared."
"I don't need to explain what this token represents, do I? As long as you have the token, you can enter the second level of the Immortal Palace and have the opportunity to seek the Immortal Emperor's inheritance!"
The echo lingered, but the demon still didn't say another word.
Ling Yu frowned and glanced at it, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
It knew all along that these great demons wouldn't seek revenge for their leader, but it didn't expect that they wouldn't even care about the token. Did they all intend to stay here and wait to die?
If that's the case, why do they obey orders? Isn't it for the sake of progress?
"All right."
Just then, a deep, muffled sound rang out from above, and as the sound appeared, a sudden gust of demonic wind swept through the surroundings.
Ling Yu turned around and saw a red-striped lion demon lying on the mountaintop slowly opening its eyes.
It uttered only two words, and all the great demons turned their gazes toward it, their eyes filled with fear and respect, waiting for its next words.
It glanced at Ling Yu, then slowly stood up:
"We are all very saddened by the death of the old ape, and we should definitely do something for it."
“But since this swordsman was able to kill the old ape, his strength must be considerable. Tell me frankly, what is his cultivation level? If he has the strength to fight, we will kill him to avenge him.”
"But then again, if he is too strong, there is really nothing we can do. We can only wait until he enters the second level before we mourn for the old ape."
As the second most powerful demon in the area after the ape leader, the lion demon already considered himself the next leader.
As a leader, he naturally has to consider the well-being of his subordinates and wouldn't rashly lead his powerful demon subordinates to their deaths.
Of course, it wouldn't let go of any opportunity that presented itself.
Although the access token will still appear on its own, there is only one chance to enter the second level each time.
"Brother Lion is right."
Ling Yu lowered her tone: "That human was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. The reason why Commander Ape was defeated was because that human swordsman used a powerful Dao technique. Commander Ape was caught off guard and was injured and defeated."
As it spoke, it lowered its head and sighed, "To be honest, it's all because that human was too cunning. During the battle, he used magic to launch a surprise attack on the ape leader from behind. Otherwise, it would have been hard to say who would have won or lost."
It wasn't lying; the magic came from behind. As for whether the ape commander could dodge it after discovering it beforehand...
The ape leader didn't notice, so who knows if it could dodge it?
It's Taoist magic?!
The lion demon's eyes widened slightly, and he was secretly alarmed.
It could tell that everything Ling Yu said was true, without a single falsehood.
It's astonishing that a mere cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm can actually perform Dao techniques.
However, while the Taoist arts are powerful, their weaknesses are also quite obvious. Each use consumes a great deal of energy and requires a long period of rest before it can be used again. The Taoist arts that could kill the old ape would probably require several years to recover.
Therefore, the cultivator is currently at a weak point, and this is the perfect time to strike!
"I understand."
The lion demon's gaze was sharp, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said in a cold voice:
"This person attacked and killed Commander Ape, and we are already blood enemies. Moreover, Qingfeng and the others were also killed by his sword. It is clear that he wants to kill us all."
"In that case, let's take the initiative and kill him while he's still weak after using his magic. That would be avenging Commander Ape and Qingfeng!"
Having said that, it rose into the air and stood on high ground, shouting loudly:
"Without their Daoist techniques, we can kill a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a flick of our wrists!"
"Gentlemen, there's no time to lose! Let's set off now, kill the humans, and avenge Commander Ape!"
Its roar shook the heavens, bringing with it a crimson aura that materialized and filled the sky. Its entire aura exploded without reservation, condensing into a ten-thousand-foot-tall phantom of a fire lion, which roared through the air.
It is not interested in the position of ruler, but it is very interested in the second level.
Having been trapped here for so long, it only had a chance to escape the celestial palace once it reached the second level.
It was determined to get that pass token. With so many powerful demons attacking together, let alone a weak human cultivator, even if the ape leader were still alive, they would dare to fight!
The roar shook the heavens, and after a brief silence, the demons below roared and stood up.
They don't want to go to their deaths, but if they just follow the lion demon and cheer, that's fine; otherwise, they'll definitely be targeted and die sooner or later.
Of course, if that human is truly extremely weak, they will naturally step in and make some contributions.
If things don't work out, they can simply wait for the lion demon to die before escaping, and then fight for the leadership position after the human leaves.
"very good."
The lion demon grinned maliciously: "With Ling Yu included, there are a total of eighty-one great demons joining forces to attack. That human race will definitely have nowhere to escape."
A late-stage Nascent Soul demon is enough to easily crush dozens of mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, not to mention its powerful bloodline, the Burning Sun Fire Lion, it is confident that it can crush even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Of course, this is on the premise that the other party's Taoist skills have not yet recovered.
However, in just three days, the opponent's Taoist skills were simply not able to recover.
It has to be said that all of this is too coincidental. The only killing move that could threaten it was used on its opponent, who is now left with only a weak shell, waiting for it to reap the rewards.
Sigh, sometimes you really have to admit that fate is hard to defy.
It was destined to enter the second level of the celestial palace, and even if it hid away and did not care about worldly affairs, fate would still push it forward.
And so, the biggest obstacle died inexplicably, leaving the token at Luoxia Mountain for it to retrieve.
If it doesn't go soon, the token might just fly over by itself.
The lion demon shook his head and chuckled with a sigh. With a swift movement, he led a group of powerful demons behind him and soared into the sky, rushing towards Mount Luoxia.
Seeing this, Ling Yu dared not delay and quickly transformed into a red light to follow.
However, it wasn't very fast, and as it flew, it kept falling behind until it landed at the very back of the row, where it barely managed to keep up with the speed of the other demons.
The lion demon glanced back and grinned.
What a piece of trash! No matter what, he was a powerful demon in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet he was scared out of his wits by a junior in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It's really quite ridiculous.
