After Blackwind Elder swallowed it, he returned to his previous neat black robe state. He sighed, half-warning and half-greedily sweeping over the remaining six people, and said, "My Holy Sect painstakingly cultivations you, not for you to be Immortal Dao spies!"
"This is the outcome." He withdrew that trace of greedy gaze, lest he lose control and refine these disciples.
Even if none of these vanguard disciples returned, there was still a reason, but the gazes of the Five Elders were directed here, so it was not good to go too far.
He shook his head, somewhat disappointed.
"What Elder said is true, disciple respectfully heeds Elder's teachings."
The remaining six people, who had initially felt that trace of gaze, felt a chill throughout their bodies. Later, when they saw the other party's gaze shift, their hearts slowly relaxed a little. Fortunately, he did not continue to act.
There was no righteous indignation, just relief that it wasn't them this time. As for the dead disciple, one could only say he was unlucky.
Also, the other party did not understand the way of survival of the Black Sun Sect. He clearly had not been initiated for long, yet he eagerly wanted to show off in front of the Elder, going to probe the Immortal Cultivators.
Did he not know that in such a situation, even if it was a probe, there was no need for his true body to go out at all.
If he was injured and the Elder happened to be hungry, then there was nothing that could be done. Being eaten was considered quick; if he were refined into a Demonic Puppet, that would truly be worse than death.
Here, the Scarlet Heaven Dao Sect encountered the Black Sun Sect. Some other Immortal Sects also encountered Demonic Cultivators, but they were not Sect Demonic Cultivators from the Six Demonic Paths.
Instead, they were rogue cultivator Demonic Cultivators outside the Six Demonic Paths.
Here, unorthodox practices are even more uninhibited in the Cultivation world, and they are but a thought away from being evil Cultivators.
Demonic Cultivators often flew across the sky.
On the ground, there were also many Cultivators hiding their figures and operating earth-elemental techniques.
However, most of them tried their best to hide their magical power and would not fly openly.
These were generally rogue cultivators.
Among the bushes, several rogue cultivators looked towards the horizon. "They all say Immortal Cultivators have come, it seems to be true. We need to find another place."
Not only did rogue cultivators think this way, but even some low-level disciples of Demonic Sects inevitably wanted to find excuses to avoid a potential conflict.
But more were eager to try.
"What if they are Immortal Cultivators from a great Sect? What if they are Immortal disciples? Once they enter the Four Directions Land, they won't recognize any Immortal Cultivators! Hah!"
"They came at just the right time. The flesh of Immortal Cultivators is extraordinary."
Many gazes revealed fierce light, a trace of the same greedy luster as the black-robed Elder appeared in their eyes.
Black Tiger Mountain.
This mountain skin is a Yao Mountain beneath Wangshi Huangquan.
Apart from the pure and spiritual Yao Cultivators under the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, the other Demon Race members are mostly in the Four Directions Land.
Wangshi Huangquan.
As a rather mysterious branch of the Demonic Path among the Six Great Demonic Paths, it is shrouded in deathly silence and transforms disaster into human form. Even Demonic Path Cultivators themselves have always been extremely wary of it.
Among them, the Demon Race is not well-regarded by human Cultivators. Unlike other Demonic Paths that occupy vast lands, Wangshi Huangquan does not take a wisp of a person's true spirit, nor does it use various methods to control Cultivators, such as lighting lamps or signing spirit tallies. Therefore, not only Yao Cultivators but even other Demonic Cultivators, after landing, will prioritize seeking refuge with Wangshi Huangquan.
At worst, they can act as a fox borrowing the tiger's might here. Although betrayal is commonplace among Demonic Path Cultivators, the reputation of the Six Demonic Paths is well-known in the Four Directions Land.
Gradually, more people gathered, and Black Tiger Mountain came into being.
The mountain peak's head resembles a black tiger's head, the mountain's waist is a crouching tiger's waist, and all around, there are clusters of gray stone forests rooted outside. Ordinary Cultivators entering it need to pass through various strange and poisonous Formations.
By the mountain road.
Wang Chunfeng landed. He now looked completely different, a skinny, black-robed man with shifty eyes, clearly not a righteous person.
"This place finally has signs of human habitation, but being in a Demonic land, one cannot be careless."
The journey so far was not only dangerous upon entering the Four Directions Land.
In fact, after stepping into the Northern Sky Continent and flying north, far from the range of the Immortal Sect, there were countless risks every day. However, those risks were not overly perilous for the Cultivator disciples on the treasure boat.
Now, every Immortal Cultivator looking for traces of Demonic land cannot search on a large scale.
"I heard that after the Demonic land was defeated in ancient times, the largest piece of Demonic land sank into the boundless desolate ruins. To reappear in the world, just like a human body descending, it needs to undergo the test of the Nine Heavens' Heavenly Dao."
"A human body is hard to obtain and hard to cultivation. The descent of the Demonic land only needs a seed. It's better to say that the Demonic land is a Demonic Beast; the more it devours, the more it can swallow the sky and erode the earth..."
*Clap*—
On Sun Moon Peak, Lu Qing closed the Jade Slip, and the spiritual light retracted into it.
A hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
"The information Senior Brother Wang sent also includes his own observations, but what he said before, Qingchen's personal disciple?"
Wang Chunfeng told Lu Qing about Qingchen coming to find him.
After all, he couldn't be sure if the two knew each other. If they did, why would he still need him to relay a message?
Lu Qing did not see any divination signs appear; this was not about causing trouble. "I haven't had any contact with him before. Anyway, I'll know when I see him."
He glanced at the Qi above his head.
After receiving the sound transmission from Senior Brother Wang, he also knew that the other party was currently in Wangshi Huangquan, so he did not reply to avoid the appearance of a spiritual talisman flying light.
After all, from the situation, this Senior Brother Wang had already landed and transformed into another person.
Qingchen's escape light landed, and he finally saw the distant mountain peaks appearing far to the east.
