Chapter 1542: Fraud and Deception
The Huofu carried everyone all the way south.
Passing through Lingchuan Market, it was Luohua Valley.
Seeing the towering tree in Luohua Valley, Xiao Mian remained calm.
This time, Xiao Mian always felt that something was wrong with the disaster at Huoyun Ridge...
Yougui and the other two seemed to know where Huoyun Ridge was and ran straight there.
However, Xiao Mian killed Yougui in a rage, and the two spiritual practitioners who followed Yougui were also wiped out by Wan Zongsheng and Bai Longji, so there was no evidence.
Humph!
Let me let you go for now. If I catch you in the future, we will settle all the old and new grudges together - I want you Luohua Valley, and I will wipe it out!
After that, the Huofu continued to fly south and soon left the territory of Nanyue Province.
Nanyue Province and Nanyan Demon Realm are not one and the same.
The Chishui River runs across the east and west, dividing Nanyue Province and Nanyan Demon Realm into two.
From west to east, the Chishui River flows into the sea in the east of Nanyue Province.
The place where Huofu was traveling was the mouth of Chishui River.
After passing this mouth, we entered the territory of Nanyan Demon Realm.
Unexpectedly, Huofu was attacked by a group of monsters here.
This group of monsters did not come from Nanyan Demon Realm, but from the East China Sea!
The Four Seas Monster Alliance is divided into four seas.
The East China Sea scale monster, the South China Sea hair monster, the West Wasteland feather monster, and the North China Sea armor monster.
Although there are birds and beasts in the East China Sea, the large-scale gathering of scale monsters is definitely related to the East China Sea.
After instructing everyone to guard Huofu, Xiao Mian went alone to investigate.
At the mouth of Chishui River, there were dozens of strange fish wandering around.
Those strange fish were huge, had legs but no fins, and their heads were shaped like snake heads.
Xiao Mian saw them and felt familiar.
"Are you the demon cultivators under the seat of King Ran Yi, one of the 18 demon kings of the East China Sea?" Flying over the heads of the fish demons, Xiao Mian stood in the air and shouted, "As demon cultivators of the East China Sea, why did you sneak into the heartland of my Nanyue and act sneakily? What is your intention?"
It's no wonder that Xiao Mian is so arrogant. It's really because King Ran Yi has a criminal record.
When Xiao Mian first entered Tiandu, he met the fish demon Ran Jiu on the road. He also belonged to King Ran Yi.
The fish demon Ran Jiu went to Zhongzhou in the name of King Ran Yi and exchanged what he had with the small sects in Zhongzhou along the Huangtian River.
If it was just like this, it would be understandable.
But what the two sides traded was blood food and cauldron furnace!
The incident back then was uprooted by Xiao Mian, Thunder God, Yama and others.
After that, King Ran Yi was the one who made excuses and blocked the expedition to the East China Sea. Xiao Mian even suspected that King Ran Yi was secretly colluding with the three temples of the East China Sea, but he had no evidence.
Unexpectedly, today, a demon general suspected to be under the throne of King Ran Yi appeared in Nanyue Province!
The fish demon Ran Jiu went up the Huangtian River back then.
Could it be that these fish demons were planning to go up the Chishui River, which was not good for Nanyue Province?
What can be tolerated?
Facing Xiao Mian's questioning, a leader jumped out of the fish demons.
"Who are you? This place is the border between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, but it is not the territory of Nanyue Province! The four seas in the world are originally one family, and it has nothing to do with you!"
The fish demon spoke in a muffled voice, but he spoke fluently.
Seeing that the fish demon was a little confused, Xiao Mian didn't care.
Thinking, I am the boss of the Four Seas Demon Alliance!
"Where is your King Ran Yi? Let him come out to see me!"
"My king is dead! You should go see it!"
"Dead? King Ran Yi is dead?"
This time, Xiao Mian was really interested...
With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian came up with a plan.
"How did your king die? I have a history with him! Although we didn't become sworn brothers that day, we still have brotherly love. Come! Come! Come! Tell me in detail, who was the villain who killed your king? Tell me quickly!"
"You...are you an old friend of my king?"
"Why don't you tell me quickly!?"
With a shout, Xiao Mian secretly moved the Dinghai Tuo.
The Dinghai Tuo moved, and the monsters were shocked.
The fish monster shuddered all over, opened its mouth and spoke freely.
The death of King Ran Yi was also his own fault.
The battle situation in the East China Sea was decided that day, and Fenglei Xueyuan became famous.
Everyone knows that Fenglei Xueyuan is a big piece of fat meat, and therefore, the eighteen monster kings in the East China Sea all want to take a bite of this fat meat.
However, Xiao Mian took the lead and took the initiative to invite Jin Fenghai to take over Fenglei Xueyuan.
With Jinfenghai as the main force, Xiaoyaoyang and Leijitan as the auxiliary forces, the three demon kings worked together to firmly control the ownership of Fenglei Blood Plain.
And because of the support of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and Leizhen Palace, ordinary East China Sea demon kings no longer dared to easily take the idea of Fenglei Blood Plain - it was clearly not worth the loss!
However, after the disturbance of the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea, the entire East China Sea was in ruins.
Along with the revival, it was annexation!
Except for King Jinfeng, the other eight great demon kings began to target the small demon kings near their respective garrisons, and then devoured them.
King Ran Yi was a small demon king.
Even among the small demon kings, King Ran Yi's power was at the bottom.
But King Ran Yi was very ambitious, so he colluded with the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea and Lingxiu Palace, and also had the strategy of exchanging what he had with Zhongzhou.
Facing the general trend of the East China Sea, King Ran Yi was unwilling to be annexed by others.
In a desperate situation, King Ran Yi secretly met with another little demon king in the north of Lingyangze - the King of the River Dolphin in the Wandu Sand Sea!
King Ran Yi wanted to follow the example of Xiaoyaoyang and Leijitan and form an alliance with others.
Unfortunately, King Ran Yi met the wrong person...
This River Dolphin King doesn't have such big ambitions!
The River Dolphin King has nothing else to like in his life, except that he likes to eat some poisonous things. The River Dolphin King has a very special foundation. By swallowing poisonous things, he can increase his cultivation.
As time goes by, the River Dolphin King becomes stronger and stronger.
The demon tribe believes that the strong are respected, and the demon cultivators in the nearby sea area regard it as the king.
Let him be the king!
But he didn't expect that the East China Sea would change dramatically, and the wind and clouds would surge.
Seeing that the River Dolphin King's throne was lost, he was not in a hurry at all.
If he doesn't want to be the king, then he won't be the king!
But at this time, King Ran Yi came to discuss an alliance.
Alliance? What alliance? What alliance is there to make?
You are going to make trouble!
I don't know what the River Dolphin King is thinking, but he immediately passed on the news of King Ran Yi's intention to form an alliance to the great demon king of Wanshouyang, King Wan Ao.
King Wan Ao was worried that he had no excuse to establish his power, and when he got the news, he sent troops to Lingyangze.
After a not-so-intense battle, King Ran Yi fell.
King Wan Ao did not kill them all, after all, he just wanted to strengthen his power.
Most of the forces under King Ran Yi were all under King Wan Ao's command, but a small number of fish monsters escaped during the chaos.
From then on, they sailed across the ocean, but unexpectedly they went straight to South Vietnam...
After listening to the other party's explanation, Xiao Mian was silent for a while.
It should not be difficult to distinguish the truth of this matter, as long as you ask the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
What Xiao Mian was thinking about was how to settle these East China Sea fish monsters.
There were at least dozens of East China Sea fish monsters in this group, and the leader, who was a chatterbox, was a seventh-level transformed monster, although he talked a lot.
Under the chatterbox, there were some sixth-level fish monsters, which gradually became powerful.
If you ignore it, it will eventually be a major hidden danger.
If you shout and kill, it will be a waste of resources.
With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian had an idea.
"You are loyal and brave, and you won't serve two masters. I admire you! But the King Wan Ao is the tyrant of the East China Sea. Even if I want to avenge King Ran Yi, I am powerless to save the situation. But I have a good place to put you!"
"Where?"
"South China Sea!"
"South China Sea? That's the territory of the King of Ten Thousand Monsters. If we go there..."
"Daoyou! The four seas in the world are originally one family! Besides, I have some friendship with the King of Ten Thousand Monsters. With my presence, this matter will be accomplished!"
"This...are you serious?"
"Why would I lie to you?" As he spoke, Xiao Mian pointed to the Huofu above his head and said with a smile: "I am going to the Nanyan Demon Realm to pay homage to the King of Ten Thousand Monsters. Do you want to come with me?"
"...Okay!"
"By the way! What's your name?"
"I am Ran Ming!"
"Ran Ming? What a good name!"
With a chuckle, Xiao Mian returned to the Huofu.
After Ran Ming nodded, all the fish monsters bowed their heads.
The demon clan has always been known for its strength. After the death of King Ran Yi, it was Ran Ming who brought all the fish demons from the East China Sea to drift here. It is not wrong to say that he is the new king.
In this way, Xiao Mian deceived this group of fish demons.
But in this way, the route of Huofu must be adjusted.
Originally, Huofu could directly fly to the South Yan Demon Realm from the air, but now with this group of fish demons, Xiao Mian had to go south along the coastal road.
Although it would take a few more days, it was still acceptable.
Unexpectedly, the deviation of the route led to complications...
Shortly after Xiao Mian deceived the group of fish demons, Hei Bu suddenly sent a message to Xiao Mian: Not far ahead, there was a lone spiritual practitioner.
Before that, Xiao Mian had instructed Hei Bu to let it find the target spiritual practitioner on its own.
Xiao Mian almost forgot about this, but it was Hei Bu who did his duty.
After taking out Hei Bu and taking a look, Xiao Mian was a little suspicious.
At this time, the location of the Huofu has already penetrated deep into the Nanyan Demon Realm, but because of the coastal area, this place is not the hinterland of the Nanyan Demon Realm.
The entire Nanyan Demon Realm is a remote and poor place, and there are spiritual cultivators coming here?
It has been a while since the spiritual war broke out.
Even if this spiritual cultivator was forced to come to the southern border, after searching for these days, he should know that this is a barren land. Why did he stay here for a long time?
If he is not indifferent to the world, then there must be another hidden reason!
Indifferent to the world?
If he is really indifferent to the world, why bother to wade into this muddy water?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was moved.
Even if it is not to expel this person, Xiao Mian has to go!
After all, Xiao Mian now has the Dinghai Tuo and is the leader of the Four Seas Demon Alliance. He can ask about the affairs of the four seas. Since he is in this position, he should plan his politics.
He wants to see: what is attracting the spiritual cultivator!
He ordered Xuancao to lead everyone to continue traveling south, and Xiao Mian went alone.
According to the information transmitted from the black cloth, the spiritual cultivator was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Even if Xiao Mian was defeated, there would be no surprise.
After leaving the Huofu, Xiao Mian sneaked all the way.
After a long time, he completely concealed his body and moved forward slowly.
In a valley, some roars were heard from time to time.
The sound was like the last scream of something before dying. Even a bold person like Xiao Mian was horrified.
If a person dies tragically, he will definitely feel resentment.
The same is true for birds and beasts.
With courage, Xiao Mian sneaked into the valley.
The scene he saw made Xiao Mian stunned.
From a distance, the whole valley looked like a sea of blood and corpses.
The valley was ten miles in radius, and it was covered with the corpses of various beasts. The layers of corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like a river of blood.
The whole valley was full of corpse stench and decay!
In this situation, Xiao Mian almost suspected that it was the work of the Three Temples of the East China Sea!
But at this moment, a light voice resounded through the valley.
"Eat! Eat more! When we leave here, we will go to Nanyuezhou in the north. I heard that the cultivators there have low cultivation levels, so the food should be good! Eat!"
Xiao Mian's pupils shrank when he heard this.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a man and a beast in the open space in the middle of the valley.
The man was grabbing the neck of an unknown monster, reaching into its belly, pulling out a monster heart, and handing it to a monster next to him.
The monster rolled up its tongue and swallowed the monster heart completely.
Swallowing it whole, he was still not satisfied.
"Eat more! There are plenty!"
The man said this, threw the monster whose heart was dug out aside, abandoned it, and grabbed another monster and began to cut open its belly to take out its heart.
Obviously, this is how the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the valley came from!
The ranks of these poisoned monsters were not very high, but such a large-scale massacre was enough to shake the foundation of the Nanyan Monster Realm.
What's worse, this man and this beast even tried to poison Nanyuezhou!
If I let you walk out of the valley alive, I would not be called Xiao Mian!
Xiao Mian did not take action immediately after he had the killing intention.
To be on the safe side, Xiao Mian had to make some preparations.
Otherwise, if the pair of beasts escaped, the consequences would be disastrous.
As for the monsters being slaughtered, Xiao Mian could only say sorry.
Anyway, if Xiao Mian hadn't come, they would have died.
Now, Xiao Mian would at least not let them die in vain!
While the man was slaughtering low-level monsters, Xiao Mian set up a major formation around the valley - the Tiangang Disha Shenkan Formation!
Although the Five Elements Wind and Cloud Sword Formation is both offensive and defensive, the previous failure made Xiao Mian understand that the Five Elements Wind and Cloud Sword Formation is not infallible.
In this battle, Xiao Mian must - kill them all!
Besides, this Tiangang Disha Shenxian formation is specifically aimed at the spiritual consciousness.
Unless the opponent is willing to give up the spiritual consciousness, it will be difficult to escape.
Moreover, Hei Bu took action, and the Tiangang Disha Shenxian formation trapped the ten-dimensional space.
After doing all this, Xiao Mian stepped into the valley step by step.
"I always thought that the spiritual world cultivators were superior! I didn't expect that they were also primitive people who ate raw meat and drank blood! It really opened my eyes!"
"You! Who are you!?"
Suddenly standing up, the man stared at Xiao Mian with a shocked face.
"It doesn't matter who I am! Who are you?"
"Humph! It turns out you are just an ant from the lower realm!" While staring at Xiao Mian, the man kept looking around. After confirming that Xiao Mian was the only one in the valley, the man's expression stabilized and he sneered: "A mere Yuanying initial stage cultivator wants to ruin my good deeds? I have to change my taste!"
"What? You still want to eat me?"
"Hiss! It's been a long time since I tasted the taste of Yuanying..."
Completely ignoring Xiao Mian's question, the man looked at Xiao Mian with a smile. Obviously, in the man's eyes, Xiao Mian was already a delicious delicacy.
The next moment, the man pointed his finger and shouted.
A beast shadow soared into the sky and killed Xiao Mian.
Although Xiao Mian hated the man's cruelty, he also hated the unique taste of this monster.
Now that the monster came to his door, how could Xiao Mian be polite?
Wearing the Eight Leaf Jade Order, Xiao Mian punched out.
The monster came quickly and left even faster.
With one punch, Xiao Mian smashed the monster into the mountain of corpses, and there was no movement for a long time.
The man saw this, and his expression was not panic, but surprise.
"You are a body cultivator? Wonderful! Really wonderful! I heard that the flesh and blood of body cultivators are more delicious than those of Qi cultivators. I have never had the blessing to enjoy them, but I didn't expect... Hahaha!"
"..."
Unreasonable!
However, the man's reaction also made Xiao Mian know: things are unusual!
That monster, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to kill!
Sure enough, the whole valley shook violently, and then, the thousands of corpses in the valley seemed to come alive, shaking all over.
In just a moment, the valley was full of corpses.
What's more terrifying is that these corpses were not created overnight, and most of them showed signs of decay to varying degrees.
The most exaggerated ones clearly only had a skeleton left...
Xiao Mian, who was so bold, felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene.
However, with a sweep of his spiritual sense, Xiao Mian also found some clues.
These corpses were all connected by blood threads.
At the end of the blood threads was the nameless monster!
Obviously, the nameless monster was controlling these corpses through these blood threads, and then using them to besiege Xiao Mian.
Fortunately, these corpses were only low-level monsters when they were alive. Even if they have become corpses now, they are just controlled by people and have no power.
Xiao Mian suddenly shouted loudly, and his body was full of light.
Five Elements Divine Light!
Tens of thousands of Five Elements Divine Lights penetrated the body and attacked the corpses.
Xiao Mian wanted to see: whether the opponent had more corpses or his Divine Light was more!
