Chapter 15 Heavenly Capital Demon Flame
Chapter 15 Heavenly Capital Demon Flame
The scene before them caused everyone present to change their expressions.
Han Li felt a chill on the back of his neck, and a cold sensation shot from his spine straight to the top of his head.
That Yin Demon! He's a genuine Nascent Soul stage demon; he won't be able to leave today.
Zhou Yuan gritted her teeth, her nails digging deep into her palms, and squeezed out the words through clenched teeth: "Extreme Yin Old Demon!"
The Extreme Yin Demon is a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, renowned far and wide.
Clearly, the situation had already deviated from her expectations and was no longer under her control.
If they are not careful, the entire Miaoyin Sect will perish here. Thinking this, Zhou Yuan looked at her daughter Ziling beside her, her eyes slightly misty.
"Old man! It really was you!"
The Hidden Fiend Sect Master, surnamed Sun, sneered, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a ruthless glint. "I knew that trash Wu Chou had no guts to set up such a trap! So it was you hiding behind it! But..."
He paused, then his tone suddenly sharpened: "I am no longer the weak disciple you once manipulated! You think you can keep me here with just a few clones and possession techniques? Dream on!"
"My good disciple, you really dare to fight your master?"
The Yin Ancestor didn't move his lips, but his voice, like a venomous snake, emanated from his abdomen, piercing and chilling, causing a dull ache in everyone's eardrums.
As he spoke, he waved his hands, and the ghost head in front of him grew larger out of thin air, instantly becoming extremely ferocious.
"Indeed, a hundred years ago, what you said would have been correct. With only a third of my cultivation, capturing you alive would have been quite difficult. But now..."
As he said this, a sharp, mocking smile appeared on his face, and he slowly raised his right hand.
A jet-black flame suddenly ignited, its flame flickering silently, as if it could devour the soul.
"Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire!"
Sect Leader Sun's pupils shrank sharply, and his voice changed tone: "You actually mastered this demonic art. So all these years, you've been hiding your true abilities and deliberately feigning weakness."
The moment the Hidden Fiend Sect Master saw the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and a trace of fear crossed his gaze.
As a disciple of the Extreme Yin Ancestor, he naturally knew the terror of this Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire.
This extremely Yin Demon spent hundreds of years painstakingly refining this technique.
The Heavenly Corpse Fire is incredibly powerful; it is a supreme secret technique from the Profound Yin Manual.
Ever since Ji Yin plotted against his master, the Old Demon Xuan Gu, and his magic weapon self-destructed at the time, he has been cultivating this secret technique, hoping to improve his strength through it.
The Yin Ancestor tilted his head back and smiled smugly. With a flick of his wrist, a token appeared in his hand.
He then slowly rose into the air, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. His tone was casual, yet carried an undeniable air of authority: "This grandmaster is in a good mood today, disciplining his disciple. I'll give you a way out. As long as you hand over one-third of your primordial spirit to this Forbidden God Tablet and submit to Extreme Yin Island, I can release you and leave in peace!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the Miaoyin Sect exchanged bewildered glances.
One-third of one's primordial spirit is easy to say, but even a fraction of one's primordial spirit, if it falls into the hands of another and is erased, will at best make one an idiot, and at worst kill one on the spot.
Once this third of one's primordial spirit is lost, there will be no freedom left, and one will have to live in constant fear.
However, no one dared to say they wouldn't accept the offer.
Although it was just an avatar, the methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator were far beyond what ordinary Core Formation cultivators could withstand. Killing them would be very easy, and for a moment, the scene became completely silent.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky began to churn, and the strange, clanging voice of the Crimson Fire Monster could be faintly heard.
"Senior Jiyin, must I also surrender my primordial spirit?"
The Old Demon of Extreme Yin raised his eyes to the dark clouds in the sky and said calmly, "Nephew Crimson Fire, have you ever heard of the saying that under the influence of a rebellious star, life and death hang by a thread? Two paths: either submit or die!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Tianren understood that Ji Yin was exchanging secret signals.
If the Crimson Flame Old Monster doesn't betray them, they have two late-stage Core Formation cultivators and a whole bunch of Core Formation cultivators on their side.
If they don't find a way to stop the Crimson Fire Old Monster from helping them, given his power to use the Possession Technique, even with the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, it will be difficult to keep them here.
The Extreme Yin Demon turned to look at Zi Ling and her daughter: "Girl from the Wonderful Sound Sect, don't be like your short-lived husband, that boy Wang. Back then, he was a bit disobedient, and as a result... hehe, he didn't even leave behind any bones. He fed all of them to my Yin Corpse Worms."
"you!!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling and her daughter trembled violently, their eyes blazing as they stared intently at the Extreme Yin Old Demon.
Zhou Yuan had investigated her husband's death for a long time but had never found any clues, and thought she would never know the cause of her husband Wang Heng's death in her lifetime.
Unexpectedly, the murderer was right in front of them, and it was also the work of the villains from this extremely dark island, yet they mentioned it with such contempt.
Just as she was filled with grief and indignation, the hook-nosed cultivator standing behind Zhuo Ruting suddenly transformed into a beam of yellow light and shot backward into the sky.
And before Zhuo Ruting could react with shock and anger, he flew dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye, and only then could his voice be faintly heard.
"I'm used to being free and undisciplined. I have no desire to oppose the ancestor, nor am I interested in being bossed around. So I'll take my leave first."
In just a few words, the yellow light shot off another dozen feet away.
Wen Tianren couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What incredible speed!"
If he encountered a typical late-stage Core Formation cultivator, he might have been able to escape, but this cultivator surnamed Feng was clearly mistaken.
Upon seeing this, the Patriarch of Extreme Yin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said menacingly, "Insolence! I am speaking to someone!"
As he spoke, the hand holding the black fireball gently tossed it toward the direction of the yellow light.
The black fireball flickered a few times after leaving his hand, then suddenly transformed into a slender black rainbow, streaking across the sky like a ghost, instantly catching up with the almost vanished cultivator surnamed Feng.
"ah--!"
The scream lasted only a moment.
The yellow light exploded, transforming into a strange black flame. Before it could even struggle, it burned to ashes and vanished without a trace, not even a wisp of its primordial spirit escaping.
The audience was silent.
Wen Tianren shook his head and sighed, "They really are unwise and can't see the situation clearly."
Even if it's just a clone, how could it be so easy to escape? I really don't know how it cultivated to the Core Formation stage. Wen Tianren didn't even try to save this kind of person.
The cultivators present were all terrified by this attack, and dared not breathe, suppressing their urge to flee immediately.
They knew very well that if they acted rashly at this moment, they would die just like that man.
Everyone is watching and looking at others, wondering what good solutions they might have.
Not far away, a cultivator surnamed Meng, who was also a Core Formation stage cultivator and had originally invited Wen Tianren, Han Li, and others, had completely vanished from his smiling face.
Looking towards Han Li, Han Li, sensing the gaze, merely smiled wryly and turned his head away in response before turning back to look at the Extreme Yin Ancestor with a gloomy expression.
The mother and daughter standing in front, Zi Ling, still had the same angry look in their eyes because of the hatred for killing her husband and father, but there was also fear in their eyes.
Zhou Yuan's ten slender, white fingers tangled together behind her back, slightly twisted.
As for Madam Fan and Zhuo Ruting and the other cultivators of the Miaoyin Sect, after witnessing the power of the black demonic flames, their faces had already turned pale. Although their expressions remained relatively calm, the fear in their eyes could not be concealed.
The people from Miaoyin Sect turned their gaze to the group from Yinsha Sect, since the old demon Jiyin was mainly looking for trouble with them.
At this moment, the Hidden Fiend Sect Master was moved by the power of the Extreme Yin Ancestor's black demonic fire and narrowed his eyes.
Then he said coldly, "Old man, if I hadn't run away back then, wouldn't I have become one of your avatars by now?"
The old demon of extreme yin smiled kindly, yet it was so chilling: "My good disciple, don't be so formal! Your master, and your master's master, all went through this."
He paused, then his tone turned chillingly cold: "However, we are more powerful than you. We don't run away, we kill our master. So, you're still too naive. You're not fit to be my successor. Hand over the fragments of the Void Heaven Map, and maybe I'll let you live a few more days and then turn you into an external avatar later."
Upon hearing the words of the Extreme Yin Old Demon, Wen Tianren recalled the days when he was dominated by the Six Paths Extreme Saint on Holy Demon Island.
This Sect Master Sun is really like me; we both face the risk of being trained into an external avatar at any time.
However, if he were Sect Master Sun, he would never expose himself to the gaze of Ji Yin until he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
To survive is to live a life of compromise and survival.
"Stop talking big! Don't be scared by that old devil. Since he's possessing someone, this newly mastered supernatural power can't be used many times, otherwise the possessed person will explode and die. As long as we're together, this old thing can't do anything to us," Sect Leader Sun suddenly shouted.
After saying this, the Hidden Fiend Sect Master glanced cryptically at the Crimson Fire Old Monster in the dark clouds.
In his mind, only by joining forces with the Crimson Fire Old Monster, who was also at the late stage of Core Formation, could he possibly fight against the Extreme Yin.
Although Wen Tianren's divine sense was extraordinary, in Sect Master Sun's eyes he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
The other cultivators from the Myriad Sounds Sect and those in the early stages of Core Formation on his side could only provide assistance from the sidelines.
At this moment, the response from the Crimson Flame Monster came from within the dark clouds: "Extreme Yin Monster, since you've gone to such extremes, then I, Crimson Flame Monster, have no choice but to experience your superior skills. You should also witness my Sunflower Water Demon Lightning."
Seeing that the Crimson Flame Old Monster was willing to join forces, the members of the Wonderful Sound Sect and the Hidden Fiend Sect Master all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yuan knew at this moment that their only way out was to destroy this clone of Ji Yin and then retreat back to Tianxing City. Therefore, she decisively said to Sect Master Sun in a cold voice:
"You and Senior Crimson Flame will deal with this old demon. The rest of you should deal with the traitors first, and then we'll all go after the old demon together!"
Before he finished speaking, the Old Demon of Extreme Yin clasped his hands together, then easily separated them, and two more black fireballs appeared in his hands. Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all stared intently at the two fireballs for any movement.
"Since you don't know what's good for you..." His eyes flashed with murderous intent, "then you'd all die!"
As they spoke, the two balls of demonic flame in Ji Yin's hands approached Sect Master Sun and the Crimson Fire Old Monster in the dark clouds, distorting the void wherever they passed.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan also organized Wen Tianren and others to encircle and suppress Zhao Zheng and his group.
