Chapter 1003: The First Battle of Mahayana (Part I)
Above a dense forest near the Valley of Troubled Stones, a whirlpool suddenly broke in the void, and then a ray of light rolled out of it, and the figure of the Thousand Illusion Fairy also flashed in the glow.
Li Muran's heart was relieved, put away the exercises, and asked, "Phantom Glass, a qiē is still smooth, have you seen that Black Dragon King?"
"See!" Before the Thousand Illusion Fairy could answer, the dragon soul had already flown out of the sleeve of the Thousand Illusion Fairy, and took the initiative to answer: "And that guy's cultivation has risen greatly, and he is already a monk at the peak of the middle Mahayana period! Hmph, with his qualifications and understanding, it is already a great creation to be able to cultivate to the early stage of Mahayana, and he has actually progressed so smoothly in the past thousands of years, it should be a fusion of the old black dragon stone!"
"What?" Li Muran was shocked: "He has already fused the Black Dragon Stone of the Black Flame Daoist?Didn't the Black Flame Daoist say that the Black Dragon Stone is still in the Chaotic Stone Valley? In this case, wouldn't it be in vain for me to wait?!"
The dragon soul continued: "He is indeed fused with black dragon stones, and there is indeed the breath of black dragon stones in the Chaotic Stone Valley, if the old man is not mistaken, the black dragon stone was divided into two because of some kind of accident, he is just fusing one of them! The remaining piece of black dragon stone must not be allowed to be obtained, otherwise he may take this opportunity to advance to the late stage of Mahayana in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, we will never be able to escape from his palm!"
"Then I'll do it immediately!" Li Muran said. The dragon soul nodded, and immediately returned to the sleeve of the Thousand Illusion Fairy.
Li Muran took out two instantaneous talismans, activated them at the same time, and the two rays of light were rolled up, and they suddenly appeared in the center of the Troubled Stone Valley in the next moment.
"Black Yan Daoist Friend quickly cast a spell to sense the specific location of the Black Dragon Stone, and the two of us will protect the Dharma for Daoist Friend!" Li Muran said loudly.
"Okay!" the dragon soul agreed, reappeared, and absorbed the surrounding demonic qi in a big gulp, using the power of his remnant soul to carefully sense the faint aura that most matched his own.
In this chaotic stone valley, there were originally many beast monks gathering, looking for the black dragon stone day and night, Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy suddenly appeared here, and soon attracted many beast monks to fly here.
"There seem to be a lot of beast monks, but judging from the breath, most of them are monks in the Yuan Shen stage, and there are not too many in the demon body stage!"
"It seems that this time you and I are going to kill!" Li Muran looked at the dark golden sun that was about to set in the sky, and his heart moved: "First protect the Black Flame Daoist who casts the spell, after nightfall, it is the opportunity to kill!"
With that, Li Muran directly took out a thick stack of talismans from his sleeve.
He threw the stack of talismans into the air one by one, and played out one after another, and with his extremely skillful refining talismans, in an instant, a simple talisman array was arranged around them.
Li Muran didn't stop, he took out more talismans, and laid down layer after layer of talisman arrays, and in one breath, he actually laid down as many as thirteen layers.
This thirteen-layer serial rune array was also arranged by Li Muran when he was in the Nether, but it was a single hidden formation arranged in the Nether, and at this time, he also arranged a defensive rune array Tiangang Demon Pattern Array with similar attributes.
"With this thirteen-layer Tiangang Demon Pattern Array guarding, we can recharge our energy for the time being, and it's not too late to strike when we encounter a strong enemy!" Li Muran said.
The Thousand Illusion Fairy nodded slightly, even though she sensed that more and more beast cultivators were flying towards her, she still didn't have the slightest timidity. As long as she and Li Muran fought side by side and could perform a combined blow, its power was not at all something that these Demon Body Stage Beast Clan cultivators could withstand.
"Black Flame Daoist, please try to hurry up, although the Black Demon Dragon King may not be able to arrive in time, but the concubine is worried that he will send a high-ranking monk among his henchmen and cronies to come here to obstruct us and wait!" said the Thousand Illusion Fairy.
What Mrs. Li said is not unreasonable. The dragon soul said: "However, most of the high-ranking monks in the clan are also the subordinates of the old man back then, and they may not serve him!"
Soon, dozens of beast clan cultivators flew nearby, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the three people such as the dragon soul who were not low in cultivation, as well as the layers of faint demonic light shrouded around the three of them.
"Who are you to break into my beast forbidden land!" shouted a mid-demon beast monk.
"Hey, isn't this the other two!" Another middle-aged beast monk felt a pang in his heart, and he recognized that Li Muran and the others were the two Terran monks who had appeared here decades ago, but left quickly.
At that time, there were several beast clan monks who saw these two people, and one of them was also here, and he and the middle-aged monk couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the same puzzled look in each other's eyes.
However, neither of them made a statement, and they concealed the situation and did not report it back then, so they naturally did not debunk their practices at that time.
"Ignorant junior, don't you even recognize this king?" the dragon soul shouted, his god was majestic, he had turned into a human form, and he was an old man with eyes that was not angry and arrogant.
"It's the former patriarch Heiyan Ancestor!" Immediately, several demon cultivators in the Demon Body Stage were shocked, some of them had seen Heiyan Ancestor in the sacrificial ceremony from afar, and some had seen the "relict image" of Heiyan Ancestor in the ancestor worship hall, so they recognized the dragon soul at once.
"Even if you and other juniors still have vision, it is this king!" said the dragon soul loudly.
The orc monks immediately paid homage one after another, and when the other monks saw this, although they were suspicious in their hearts, they all followed suit.
You won't lose anything by paying a visit, but if you are rude and provoke the other person, you may be killed, and naturally no one will take this risk.
"It is said that the Ancestor unfortunately fell in the Heavenly Tribulation thousands of years ago, and it has disappeared for thousands of years, how could it suddenly appear here?" asked a beast monk suspiciously, he was obviously skeptical, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful in his tone.
The dragon soul's face suddenly turned like frost, and he said hatefully: "Hmph! At the time of the tribulation, the rebel thief of the Black Demon actually plotted against the king, but fortunately, the king had a great life, and he was lucky enough to leave a life in the catastrophe! This king came here to retrieve the black dragon stone. If you wait all these years to serve the black thief, you are acting for the tiger, and if you don't know it, this king will not be held accountable! However, if you dare to obstruct this king from retrieving the black dragon stone, this king will regard him as a fellow traitor and kill him one by one!"
After that, the dragon soul did not manage these beast monks around him, and continued to cast spells to sense the breath of the black dragon stone.
The surrounding orc monks looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
If the person in front of him was really the former patriarch Heiyan Old Ancestor, then the current patriarch was the traitor in his mouth, and this involved the power struggle of the patriarch's high-ranking monks, and they, ordinary monks on the edge of power, did not dare to get involved at all.
Even if you stand on the right side, I am afraid that you will not get much benefit, and maybe in the end you will be killed by the master!
"Brother Huo, you are the highest rank and cultivation cultivator here, what do you say we should do?" asked an orc monk.
The old man of the beast clan shook his head and said, "Huo is not qualified to make a decision on this matter, so let's inform the patriarch and a few elders." ”
After that, these beast monks in the demon body stage have sacrificed all kinds of transmission notes and passed them on.
Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy watched this scene quietly and did not stop them. First, they couldn't stop these beast clan cultivators from ventilating and reporting the news, and second, the Black Demon Dragon King had probably guessed their intention to divert the tiger away from the mountain at this time, and he was still in a remote location far away, so it didn't matter whether it was passed on or not!
The dragon soul is casting spells with all its might, and the invisible blood induction is becoming clearer and clearer, as if the ethereal clouds and mist are gradually converging into a clue, and it can almost be captured.
Li Muran and the others were also quite nervously watching the every move of the beast clan monks around them, in case they suddenly attacked and attacked.
However, these beast clan monks obviously didn't dare to mess around, and they all gathered around, but no one dared to move, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
At this time, suddenly a large black cloud flew from a distance, and Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy could sense it, and there were a lot of mixed breaths in the black clouds, including the breath of extremely powerful high-level cultivators.
"Reinforcements are arriving so soon?" Li Muran was shocked, these beast clan monks had just reported the news, and these people were inevitably coming too quickly.
Soon, the black clouds flew here. In the black clouds, there was a red-haired young man in red armor, whose aura was the most powerful.
"Mahayana early stage monk!" Li Muran's heart sank, and sure enough, a high-level beast clan monk came.
Behind the young man in the early stage of Mahayana, there were more than a dozen beast monks, all of whom were cultivating in the demon body stage, and most of them were in the middle and late stages of the demon body. This is clearly a very strong force.
"I don't know if these beast clan monks are friends or foes!" Li Muran frowned slightly.
When the surrounding beast clan monks saw this young man, they immediately saluted respectfully, saying "Meet the Four Elders."
"It turned out to be Yun Gongzi of the Red Dragon Tribe, I didn't expect to see him for thousands of years, and Gongzi had also advanced to the Mahayana stage, and now he is the fourth elder of the clan!" said the dragon soul as he cast a spell.
"Hehe, it's really Heiyan Ancestor!" Yun Gongzi smiled: "Of course Ancestor didn't expect that Ben Gongzi could advance to the Mahayana period, when the Ancestor punished Ben Gongzi and almost abolished Ben Gongzi's cultivation, how could he have expected today's situation!"
Li Muran's heart sank when he heard this, it turned out that this young man had an old enmity with the dragon soul.
Yun Gongzi continued: "If the Ancestor had expected this day, would he have regretted the decision he had made?"
"Of course this king will not regret it!" "In order to get the position of the son of the world, you secretly plotted to kill your brother and made a big mistake, of course this king will be punished!" This king will only sigh that he was soft-hearted at that time, and listened to the intercession of your father Prince Yun, and spared your life!"
"What about Prince Yun, where is he now?" the dragon soul asked.
"That useless old guy has already returned to the West!" Yun Gongzi said to the Dragon Soul, "Guess who killed him?"
"Could it be you?!" The dragon soul was startled, and then suddenly said: "That's right, without the help of Prince Yun's Red Dragon Stone, how can you, a disobedient boy, advance to the Mahayana period! For the sake of your own cultivation, you killed your brother and father, and you have lost your conscience!"
