In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 688 Linhai City

"It's broken?"

"In any case, I suggest we go and take a look. That way, when Lord Xuetian asks about it, we'll have something to say."

"Alright then." Venerable You nodded helplessly.

"Then let's set off! Search with all our might in the southeast direction!"

After saying that, the group of demon lords transformed into streaks of light and sped off in the southeast direction.

However, less than half an hour later, one of the demon lords suddenly frowned and called out to the demons.

"Lord Xuetian has arrived at Demon Ape Ridge. Let us go back."

Upon hearing this, all the demon lords were taken aback, their faces showing surprise and doubt.

A demon lord frowned and said, "Without any news of cultivators from another world, if we go back like this, what will we do..."

At this moment, Venerable You said coldly, "Let's go back and talk about it. Lord Xuetian's order cannot be disobeyed."

After some deliberation, the demon lords realized they had no other choice, so they all changed direction and transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the demon ape.

The Venerable You, who was at the back, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly caught up.

......

However, at this moment, tens of thousands of miles to the northwest, opposite to the direction of Venerable You and his party, a giant ship was speeding towards the land.

Inside the giant ship, Lu Yuan's several avatars sat cross-legged amidst a large number of magic stones, rapidly recovering their magical power.

Lu Yuan's original body was also sitting cross-legged on the other side of the giant ship, surrounded by fist-sized spirit crystals. These were all obtained on Bitter Spirit Island as a precaution, and now they had actually come in handy.

......

"It's Chaotic Golden Lightning."

"Demon Ape," the cold-faced young man said coldly after examining the three corpses of the woman in the black dress.

Chaotic Golden Lightning!

Upon hearing this, the surrounding demon lords all paled. With their knowledge, they had naturally heard of it. Demonic arts were inherently countered by lightning-based techniques, let alone the chaotic golden lightning that specifically annihilated the primordial spirit.

"Lord Xuetian, is there no way to resist this lightning?" A demon lord looked anxiously at the cold-faced youth.

Even the late-stage Demon Lord Yan was instantly killed without any reaction. If they encountered him, they would have no chance of survival.

The cold-faced youth's eyes flickered, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his stern face as he said, "The Chaos Golden Lightning is extremely rare, and resisting it is no easy task. However, once this lightning is used, your primordial spirits will immediately sense it."

The reason they were so easily killed was probably because the otherworldly cultivator had concealed the Chaos Golden Lightning extremely well. These three deserved it for being so careless. If you encounter them again, just be more careful, and you shouldn't end up like them.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of all the demon lords.

What's the difference between saying it and not saying it at all?

Upon seeing this, the cold-faced youth frowned slightly and said, "Two juniors from another world at the Integration stage not only entered and exited Bitter Spirit Island as if it were empty, but also wiped out three high-level Saint Clan members from my Holy Realm. If this gets out, our Holy Realm will lose face big time."

Therefore, under no circumstances should they be let go easily!

......

About a month later, in Linhai City.

Linhai City is the largest of the many demon towns near the Demon Source Sea, and therefore, it is the only city within a million miles that has a teleportation array leading to other territories of the Demon Realm.

On a low hill not far from Linhai City, several figures of varying sizes stood motionless, gazing at the distant city.

The young man at the head of the group had an unusually calm expression on his face; he was Lu Yuan, who had already arrived at the edge of the Demon Source Sea.

Thanks to the large amount of spirit crystals and magic stones on his body, he and his several avatars have recovered a lot of their depleted vital energy.

However, the two avatars, Qingluan and Mountain Giant, had their original power damaged due to forcibly using "One Breath Ten Thousand Miles" and "Stone Lun Totem," as well as withstanding the siege of many demon lords in Demon Ape Mountain and the suppression of Bitter Spirit Island for a hundred years.

Even with the aid of numerous magic stones, it would likely take several years for his two avatars to recover to their peak cultivation levels. Therefore, he cannot easily use those two great supernatural powers to travel in the short term.

However, Lu Yuan didn't care about this at all. With the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, as long as he didn't encounter those Saint Ancestor incarnations again, even a late-stage Demon Lord couldn't do anything to him.

Lu Yuan originally planned to return to the Spirit Realm with Lei Yunzi, but since the two escaped separately, it is now difficult to find that guy.

Even if it is speculated that Lei Yunzi is likely nearby, under the current circumstances, Lu Yuan dares not stay here for long. He must leave the Demon Source Sea as soon as possible, return to the heart of the Demon Realm, find a secluded place to recover the injuries of his avatar, and then try to find a way to leave the Demon Realm.

......

As the largest main city within a radius of 10,000 miles, Linhai City naturally has three Demon Lords stationed there, the strongest of whom is already at the peak of the mid-stage of the Venerable realm.

However, on this very day, in a secluded place in Linhai City, the Venerable One at the peak of the mid-stage suddenly awoke from his seclusion, and then transformed into a cloud of blood and quickly flew out of the secret place.

When he appeared above Linhai City holding a small blood-red seal, he saw that the city lord's mansion below was submerged by a green swamp stretching for miles. Countless demon warriors struggled and cried out in the mud, but it was all in vain. They could only watch helplessly as their flesh and blood were gradually encased in the mud and eventually merged with the swamp.

"Who dares to lay a hand on my Linhai City!"

"Where are Venerable Sea and Venerable Mist?!"

The Venerable One roared and threw the small blood-red seal in his hand downwards.

Then, a dozen or so crimson streaks of light shot out from the small seal and pierced through the swamp below.

There was no response from the swamp, but suddenly a large plume of green mist surged out to meet more than ten streaks of light, while at the same time a ghostly green flame spread out from the mist.

"What a vicious evil fire." The Venerable's expression changed as he sensed the power of the bolt of lightning rapidly diminishing.

However, as a mid-stage Demon Lord, he also had extremely rich experience in combat. With a flick of his hand, more than ten streaks of light flashed simultaneously, transforming into countless dense blood-red light threads that shot out directly, piercing through the green mist and evil fire, and plunging fiercely into the swamp below.

Immediately afterwards, the Venerable One made another gesture towards the blood-red seal, pulling it back to his side.

The opponent was exceptionally strong and had not yet shown himself. In addition, the other two Venerables in the city had not yet appeared, which greatly increased the Venerable's vigilance.

It seems they have met with misfortune. Who could possibly have killed two Demon Lords in such a short time?

But just as the venerable one focused his attention on the swamp below, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him, making his hair stand on end.

"You're much better than those two guys."

not good!

The Venerable One reacted extremely quickly, without even turning his head, he slammed the small seal behind him, and then transformed into a cloud of blood and fled to the side.

However, at that moment, a chill that made the Venerable One's primordial spirit tremble suddenly swept across his entire body.

"Blame your two accomplices for being too stubborn. After all, I was just borrowing the teleportation array." Lu Yuan put away the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and said indifferently.

The flesh and blood of a mid-stage Demon Lord would be a great tonic for the two avatars who had cultivated the Undying Scripture. Back at Demon Ape Reef, if the situation hadn't been urgent, Lu Yuan would have already taken the corpses of the three demon lords, including the Wild Goose Venerable.

As for the small blood-red seal, it required a blood-path technique to activate, so Lu Yuan simply tossed it into his storage bag.

Then, he released his divine sense, which, with the blessing of the second level of the Divine Refinement Technique, instantly covered an area of ​​thousands of miles. After realizing that there were no more demons with the cultivation of Venerables, he had the Devouring Beast avatar collect the mud and swamp below, and then headed straight for the teleportation array in the City Lord's Mansion.
