Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ten Direction Region, underground of Five Banishment City.
In an underground tunnel that even the Five Banishment Daoists, who had
been entrenched here for hundreds and thousands of years, did not know, an
old man was slowly advancing with two juniors.
Their actions were not discovered by anyone and did not trigger any alarmn
array formations. It was as if they were the masters of this demon city.
It was difficult to imagine that as the local tyrant, Five Banishment Daoists,
actually did not understand their territory as well as the three outsiders.
This was because this fortress was actually not established by the so-called
Five Banishment Daoists from the beginning
These five demons had inherited it from others.
It was not robbery, but true inheritance.
The old and young duo walked forward step by step along the passageway that
opened from somewhere in the Prosperous Jíang Hong Inn.
Many years ago, this passageway was used to maintain the underground core
array formation.
However, due to the passage of time, the core array methods at the bottom had
been occupied by demons for a long time. Without the protection of
cultivators, they had been abandoned for a long time.
The secret maintenance passage underground naturally lost its meaning of
existence and had long been forgotten.
In the long-lost passage, many places even collapsed. Water accumulation was
common.
The three of them flowed along with water that was half the height of a person.
Sometimes, they had to dig it up to pass through.
Fortunately, this passageway was not complicated. After spending some time,
they successfully found the end.
The old man who had an ancient leather scroll lying in his hand heaved a sigh
of relief. Fortunately, the map left behínd by their ancestors was correct.
Otherwise, their plan would have been ruined before it could even begin.
At the end of the passage was a stone door made of red rocks that blocked their
path.
The stone door was without any holes or locks and was extremely hard.
High-grade Profound-rank artifacts could only produce a few sparks when
they struck it.
Ordinary methods were utterly unable to open it. If it was Jiang Li’s main body,
e would probably be helpless before it.
However, it was clearly the elders first time here, but he seemed to be
prepared. He searched the stone door and found two small bumps.
He turned around and took out two daggers, handing them to the two children
behind him with expectations.
Without any hesitation, the male and female cultivator cut their palms with the
dagger.
Both of them were quite fearless when they stabbed themselves
expressionlessly.
Two blood-stained palms pressed on the two grooves of the stone door.
It was unkmown what reaction it caused.
The heavy stone door in front of them suddenly relaxed. After a thousand
years, it slowly opened again.
A rotting smell came from inside. The air inside must have been here for a long
time.
The old cultivator did not care about the thick dust inside and rushed in
impatiently.
A few spell lights shot out, illuminating the underground space completely
enveloped by the northern red rock
What was hidden under Five Banishment City was a house that did not look
very gorgeous and had a strong garden aura.
On it, the words “Banishment Immortal Residence” were written in simple ink.
Who was the original owner of this place? He actually called himself an
immortal.
If not for the fact that this house was only a few thousand years old, one would
really think that this was the residence of an immortal who had been banished
in ancient times.
However, even Earth Immortals were considered immortals now.
“Hahaha! It’s indeed here, its really here!”
“Luocheng, Luoxing, quickly come and pay respects to the ancestor!” e
The two young cultivators followed his instructions and walked to the
Banishment Immortal Residence to bow three times.
“Grandpa, was this Five Banishment City where our family used to live? The
young female cultivator asked her question.
That’s right. This Five Banishment City is actually not called the Five
Banishment City. This place was originally called the Banishment Immortal
Residence. It’s the place where our Lu family’s ancestor, Lu Shoushan, lived in
seclusion!”
“Hmph, don’t look at how impressive those Five Banishment Daoists are. Those
five guys were only five livestock raised by our Lu family’s ancestor back then.”
“They were enlightened by the ancestor, Lu Shoushan, so they had the chance
to develop intelligence and walk the path of cultivation.”
“Those five guys were ungrateful. A hundred years ago, our family came to
retrieve our ancestor’s relic. Not only did they stop us in all ways, they even
injured my people.”
“This time, we’ve taken back our ancestors’ artifacts. We must make them
understand their identities!
This elder looked at the Banishment Immortal Residence in front of him and
spoke of a shocking past.
The Five Banishment Daoists who suppressed this region was actually
livestock raised by humans.
However, on careful thought, weren’t cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, and donkeys the
few livestock that people in this era often raised?
Previously, when the few demons returned to their original forms, it was
obvious that they were not wild.
Especially that huge white pig. How could a wild boar grow like that? It was
clearly a breed that had been nurtured carefully.
This was also the reason why the cultivation methods of these five demons
were orthodox and their forms were very similar.
That was because they had indeed been enlightened by an expert, and their
master, the Lu family’s ancestor, Lu Shoushan, must have an extremely great
image in their hearts.
Therefore, when they transformed, their appearance naturally leaned towards
their master.
The five livestock that were casually left behind all grew into great demons and
inherited their master’s name. They did not know how powerful Lu Shoushan
was originally.
After the three of them bowed respectfully to offer incense, they immediately
began a carpet search. They believed that the treasures left behind by their
ancestors were buried here.
However, they did not notice that a snake-like tree root had quietly entered.
On the ground, Jiang Li’s main body did not leave immediately.
He diverted his attention to use it more often. As he controlled the coffin to
suppress the enemy, he let the statue clone hiding inside suppress Yellow Dog
as quickly as possible.
He used the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra with all his might to monitor the leaving
demons.
The demons were very fast. After all the demons left his hearing range,
Jiang Li opened the coffin again, and then a ball of dark clouds suddenly surged
out.
This was Jiang Li’s Yin Burial Ghost Soldiers.
The well-trained ghost soldiers were not like ordinary ghosts who flew around
as soon as they came out.
Under Qin Shuman’s guidance, these guys had already learned complicated
super realistic role-playing
In terms of arranging troops, they were even more restricted.
At this moment, Qin Shuman was also dressed in martial attire. She
transformed into a manly ghost general holding two large flags and
commanding the Yin Burial Ghost Soldiers.
Under her command, the ghost soldiers quickly dispersed and formed a small
team that spread towards the entire stronghold in an orderly manner.
Now that the Five Banishment Daoists were not in the city, Jiang Li wanted to
take advantage of this period of time to pack everything away.
Although there were still some demon generals, it was not easy to kill a million
ghost soldiers.
Every time they encountered these enemies, the Yin Burial Ghost Soldiers
would fuse together and become even stronger ghosts to block those demon
generals.
More ordinary ghost soldiers were spread throughout the entire city. They only
had one mission: bring back all the living things they could see.
Be it ordinary humans without cultivation or weak demons, they would capture
everything they could.
There were approximately 300,000 humans and more small demons in this
city.
For every three ghost soldiers, they only needed to bring back a living person
or a small demon.
Taking advantage of this time, he could quickly take these people away.
Jiang Li had already adjusted an empty space without Yin qi in the coffin in
advance, and it could provide these mortals with temporary stay.
Jiang Li planned to bring these humans to the outside world to live. It could be
said that after obtaining the Human Emperor’s inheritance, he would do
something for the humans.
As for those small demons, they could be used as materials transformed from
the Armored Trolls. No matter how many small demons there were, he could
transform into as many Trolls. After removing the mask, they could all be
exchanged for merit points.
Although he had already joined the Divine Judgment Hall, merit points were
always useful currency. No matter how much they were, it would not be too
much.
At this moment, the coffin was placed at the largest size. Countless ghost
soldiers dragged mortals and small demons into it.
Jiang Li did not stay idle as his figure shuttled through the entire Five
Banishment City.
His targets were the demon generals guarding the city.
These demons equivalent to human Nascent Soul cultivators were not weak.
They had to fuse with 10,000 ghost soldiers to resist them.
Moreover, every time he collided with the other party, he would lose more than
a hundred ghost soldiers. He needed to continuously replenish the ghost
soldiers and fuse them to maintain the balance.
The 6 million new souls had yet to develop into ghost soldiers. The current
Soul Burial Ghost Soldiers on hand were only around 3 million. Moreover, they
could at most withstand the fusion of 10,000 ghost soldiers.
If he could not deal with them, this rapid robbery operation would also be
delayed. Moreover, the battle of the Nascent Soul cultivators was too loud. The
aftermath alone was enough to destroy the city and kill most of the humans in
it.
In order to reduce such losses, Jiang Li could only do it himself.
He stepped on the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword and his figure turmed into a
stream of light that ordinary people could not see clearly.
Endless power gathered in his hand and smashed the head of a donkey demon.
This was already the fifth Demon General he had dealt with.
For an existence of this level, unless it was a prehistoric variant with special
abilities, it was already very difficult to receive his punch.
“Squeak squeak. I didn’t expect there to be a human here. Your coffin is not bad.
Why don’t you give it to me”
Just as Jiang Li rushed towards the next bull demon, a flesh-colored whip
silently tore through the air and actually caught up to him from behind at a
speed faster than the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword.
Jiang Li did not hear any sound, and he only felt a burning sensation on his
back. Then, a strong force came, and his entire body went numb. Everything
before his eyes started to spin.
He was directly sent flying from the flying sword and smashed to the ground,
rolling far away with the inertia. He shattered a pile of buildings and was
buried under the wreckage of those buildings.
“Hehe, good treasure, you’re mine!”
In the distance, a wretched and short figure carried a black cloth bag that was
almost dragged to the ground and was walking out of the residence of one of
the Five Banishment Daoists.
Clearly, Jiang Li was not the only one with the intention of taking advantage of
the situation. This short demon directly rushed into the Five Banishment
Daoists’ residence to steal something
Looking at the bulging pocket on his back, it was obvious that he had gained
quite a bit.
When he came out ot the dog demon mansion, he immediately saw the Yin
Burial Coffin floating in midair.
If it was the Yin Burial Coffin that was in a silent disguise, its miraculousness
would naturally not be so easily discovered.
However, now that the coffin’s might was fully released and had fallen into the
eyes of experts, the grade of an Earth-rank artifact naturally could not be
concealed anymore.
He saw that the person using the artifact was actually a human cultivator.
Even this bandit who only stole and did not rob could not help but make a
move. His tail slapped Jiang Li who was flying in the air to the ground, and it
was unknown if he was dead or alive.
The flesh-colored whip that stretched out for more than ten thousand feet
quickly retracted, turning into a three foot long tail that hung behind this
person.
After that, he paid no further attention to Jiang Li because he had already
appeared by the coffin.
“Hehehe, an Earth-rank artifact! What a treasure! It’s even a rare spatial-type
artifact. Good, good, good! Follow me in the future. I must fill it with
treasures.”
The wretched and short thief jumped onto the coffin, kissing and touching it
excitedly.
Earth-rank artifacts were rare in the cultivation world of the human race. In
the Ten Direction Region, which was filled with demon beasts and no
sub-occupation masters, they were even rarer.
This Lord of Thieves who claimed to have stolen all the treasures in the world
had never seen a true Earth-rank artifact in his life.
“Squeak! Oh my ancestor, is this coffin about to advance?”
He was studying this coffin when he suddenly frowned and looked up.
“Oh? Presumptuous ghost, how dare you stop me!”
When Qin Shuman, who was flying in the air, saw that a demon was trying to
steal her master’s artifact, she immediately led the 300,000 ghost soldiers
down.
However, n the cultivation world, the gap between grades was too great. Many
times, quantity could not be of use.
The tail whip reached out again, turning into a stream of light from below and
instantly piercing through the ghost clouds above.
Even with hundreds of thousands of monsters as obstructions, Qin Shuman,
who was the core of the million ghost soldiers, was still heavily injured. She
screamed and was pulled back into the ghost cloud, not daring to show her face
again.
“Hmph, you overestimate yourself.”
“Good treasure, let’s go.”
The short and wretched demon grabbed the coffin and wanted to carry it away.
However, with some force, the coffin floating in the air only moved slightly for
an inch before stopping
The demonic power that this great demon who called itself the Lord of Thieves
threw in also disappeared without a trace like water entering the sea. It did not
have any effect.
Clearly, this precious coffin did not want to follow him.
“If you want to take it away, why don’t you ask me first?
The ruins that pressed down on his body exploded, and Jiang Li who had
smashed into the ground earlier walked out.
The rogue cultivator uniform he was wearing hada large hole torn open on his
back, and some dried blood could be seen inside.
This great demon’s ability was very special. Be it walking or attacking, it was
silent. Even Jiang Li did not notice its existence just now.
He had really taken the full brunt of that tail whip earlier.
His skin and flesh were lacerated, and seven or eight of the ribs on his back
were broken.
However, if it was only bone and flesh injuries, with Jiang Li’s Earth-rank
medicinal pill statuses and the healing spell technique he obtained later, War
Clear Spring, he would be able to completely recover in a few breaths.
However, there was still a thin layer of hard fur on this guy’s tail. After being
lashed to the body, the fur would pierce into the wound and enter the blood
vessels. As the blood vessels quickly flowed through the entire body, it would
pierce through the internal organs, causing the injured to feel extreme pain.
Most importantly, the fur was poisonous.
If anyone else was struck by this, even if they did not die, they would live in
pain for decades to come until they slowly expelled the hard fur from their
bodies.
This was because the hard fur was too difficult to remove. Even if jiang Li had
the Immaculate Body, it still took him such a long time to clean up all the
foreign objects in his body.
He did not expect that someone would dare to take advantage of him. This
fellow was courting death!
