Chapter 56: Fighting the Demonic Cultivator

When casual cultivators go to the Floating Cloud Mountains to hunt monsters, they will basically choose to take the task at the Monster Hunting List in Guiyunfang first, and then go after selecting the target and making preparations.

The various monster tasks they received were all explored by Feiyun Guards such as Song Qingming, and then released after summarizing.

In those unknown areas that Feiyun Guards have not yet explored, the monsters here have not been released on the Monster Hunting List, so naturally no one will receive the task of hunting monsters here and come to these places specifically.

Feiyun Guards were formed by Jindan cultivators stationed in Guiyunfang by Xiaoyao Sect for hundreds of years in order to better deal with the monsters in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

For hundreds of years, the area of ​​​​Floating Cloud Mountains close to Weiguo, although tens of thousands of miles in radius, has been explored several times by Feiyun Guards.

However, after Feiyun Guards explore an area, they will explore it again after at least a hundred years.

In the past hundred years, the monsters on the Monster Hunting List will gradually be killed by the monks who take on the task, and new monsters will slowly migrate to this area.

After a few decades, the monsters here have basically changed. Without the monster hunting list, there will naturally be no monks who come here to hunt monsters.

This area will slowly become a new unknown area. It will not be until the Feiyun Guard re-explores this area a hundred years later that monks will slowly come here.

Yang Wuqi and his group of demon cultivators took advantage of this loophole and hid in an unknown area. Over the past few years, they have avoided several waves of monks sent by Guiyunfang to search for their traces.

Until half a month ago, Lu Yunfei and his team of Feiyun Guards happened to be assigned the task of exploring this area and came here.

The Feiyun Guard who was killed by Yang Wuqi before was named Luo Ping. He had joined Feiyun Guard for several years. He had never had any major problems during the execution of the mission. He was considered a relatively mature monk.

This time he was unlucky. The place he was assigned to explore was just near Yang Wuqi's cave.

He had known that a foundation-building cultivator had swept the area from the air. He had heard that there were few level 2 monsters in this area. He thought it was a relatively safe unknown area, but he didn't expect that there was a group of demon cultivators hiding in this deep mountain.

Luo Ping, who didn't know the situation, broke into it in a daze. When he found Yang Wuqi's group of demon cultivators, he wanted to hide in the place and wait for the demon cultivators to complete the ritual and leave here, and then quietly go back to report the news. He didn't expect that there was a foundation-building demon cultivator with a high level of cultivation hiding there.

Although he was already cautious, he encountered Yang Wuqi, whose cultivation was far superior to his, and accidentally exposed his whereabouts and lost his life in vain.

Feiyunwei usually explored the area in secret. Yang Wuqi's group of demon cultivators didn't know about this. After Gu Liangshan and his men found that the flame rat was killed, although they were a little suspicious, they also thought that it was done by the nearby demon hunting team. They didn't know that a large number of Feiyunwei had come to their cave.

It was not until after killing Luo Ping that the cautious Yang Wuqi felt something was wrong. If the person who suddenly broke in here was really the Feiyun Guard of Guiyunfang, their cave would definitely be exposed sooner or later.

Yang Wuqi, who had been in Weiguo for many years, had naturally heard of the Feiyun Guard of Guiyunfang, and knew that the Feiyun Guard was specifically for Guiyunfang to explore the information of monsters in the Fuyun Mountains.

"Today, a cultivator has discovered this place. I'm afraid it's not safe here. Let Liangshan and others hurry up to prepare for the sacrifice. After the sacrifice is completed, we have to find another cave."

Sitting in the cave, Yang Wuqi thought for a while and seemed to have made up his mind. He gave a few instructions to the disciples standing below.

In a dense forest several miles away from the altar, a cultivator with a panicked look hurriedly said to the people in the forest.

"Captain, we have found the place where Fellow Daoist Luo sent the distress talisman. It is at the foot of the mountain ahead. There is an altar there, and there is a group of people on it. It seems that some kind of ceremony is going to be held. It seems that Fellow Daoist Luo has fallen into trouble."

"Altar, blood sacrifice, could this group of people be demon cultivators?" Lu Yunfei said with a shocked face after hearing this.

"What, the one who killed Fellow Daoist Luo turned out to be a demon cultivator, how could there be a demon cultivator here?" When everyone heard that there was a group of demon cultivators in front of them, their faces also changed.

Demon cultivators have always been brutal, and many cultivators present knew very well that Luo Ping would definitely be in danger if he fell into the hands of demon cultivators.

Song Qingming, who was already a little uneasy, was also very surprised to hear the news of the demon cultivators. The demon cultivators were cruel and had many strange skills, which were much more difficult to deal with than ordinary monsters. If they started to fight later, he must be careful.

"How many people are there and how strong are they?" Lu Yunfei thought for a moment and asked again.

"There are about five or six people, all of whom are practicing Qi. Two of them are already in the late stage of Qi training, and their strength is estimated to be not weaker than the captain. The others are not very skilled, and are only in the middle stage of Qi training." The person who reported the news quickly answered.

Lu Yunfei looked at the dozen or so cultivators next to him and made a secret decision in his heart.

"Fellow Daoists, since we have encountered this group of demon cultivators, no matter whether Daoist Luo lives or dies, we have the obligation to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. We don't have to be afraid. The ones ahead are just a group of Qi-refining demon cultivators, and their strength is not strong. Follow me to eliminate the demons and avenge Daoist Luo."

Gu Liangshan and his companions were on the altar at this time, anxiously preparing various sacrificial materials. Several cultivators who had fallen into a coma had already been tied to the pillars around the altar.

To sacrifice this magic knife, not only the spirit of the cultivators is needed, but also many other materials and some cumbersome rituals must be prepared.

"Fellow disciples, hurry up. The blood sacrifice will begin soon. The master has just passed on the message that we should guard the altar well. Ninth disciple, you go to the mountain pass first to guard it. A cultivator has already broken in here. We still have to be careful, so as not to affect the master's sacrifice of the magic knife."

A middle-aged demon cultivator was stunned for a moment, and after bowing to Gu Liangshan with some displeasure, he slowly walked out of the mountain.

The relationship between demon cultivators is more cruel than that between righteous cultivators. When carrying out tasks, they never care about the life or death of the other party.

This unlucky demon cultivator had just walked half a mile when suddenly a flash of spiritual light appeared, magic weapons flew all over the sky, and more than a dozen cultivators on both sides rushed out at the same time. The demon cultivator saw more than a dozen magic weapons flying around him, and his face was full of disbelief and horror.

A desperate scream sounded. This demon cultivator's cultivation level was not high, only the sixth level of Qi Refining. He encountered a sneak attack by more than a dozen cultivators with higher cultivation levels than him. Before he could take out his own magic weapon, he was beaten to death by Song Qingming and others.

"It's bad that someone is attacking. Brothers, stop them together. Don't let them destroy the altar. Brother Li, go and inform the master."

Gu Liangshan saw a large number of cultivators attacking from a distance, and hurriedly asked one person to inform Yang Wuqi first. Then he took several demon cultivators under the altar and went up.

"Fellow Daoists, these demons are indeed performing blood sacrifices. Don't hold back. I will report this to the sect to all Daoists who can kill the demons, and I will definitely not miss out on any benefits."

Lu Yunfei saw that there were only four or five people in Gu Liangshan's group, so he rushed to the altar.

"Kill them to avenge Daoist Luo."

Several masters in the late Qi training period who were eager to make achievements heard Gu Liangshan's words and rushed to the front, shouting loudly that they wanted to kill these demons and avenge Luo Ping.

Seeing that there were indeed only a few demons on the opposite side, everyone felt more confident. Their number was more than twice that of the opposite side. If nothing unexpected happened, these demons would be stepping stones for them to make achievements.
