Chapter 222 Ninth Aperture, Meng Xun Comes Forward

Yin Shen has a bad temper, and everyone can't stand it. No one knows why he scolded those monks. It is probably because those monks wanted to check the aperture for no apparent reason, but were swallowed by the soul of the ancient demon, resulting in the ancient demon's death. The soul's cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Zhou Yu was a little curious.

Since the soul of the ancient demon already possesses the Nascent Soul stage and is one of the three souls of the ancient demon, he should be at home in this demon-sealed land. No one is his opponent, so why would he hide instead.

There must be some clues in this.

Zhou You didn't bother to think about it, but looked at Yin Shen and asked: "Why do you think this ancient demon soul is hidden?"

Everyone looked at Yin Shen.

Except for He Taichang and Xiao Zhuoran, everyone knows who Yin Shen is. He is a member of the Demon Clan and knows these things very well. If there is anything you don't understand in this demon-sealed land, just ask Yin Shen directly.

Yin Shen sneered and said: "The reason why the Demon Sealing Land is called the Demon Sealing Land is because there is still a certain suppression of demons here. If the ancient demon's soul has reached the God Transformation Stage, or is only at the Pill Formation Stage, , I am afraid that all the monks in the Demon Sealing Land have been slaughtered by him, but he is in the Nascent Soul Stage, so if he dares to take action, Taibai’s sword energy left here will not be polite to him."

Zhou You couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He soon understood.

Zhou You said: "What you mean is that Taibai Sword Immortal left some methods in this demon-sealing land. These methods are specially used to deal with demons. However, demons in the pill-forming stage will not trigger those methods, and those in the god-transformation stage will not trigger those methods." Demons can ignore those sword energies, but only demons in the Nascent Soul stage are very afraid of those methods?"

Zhou You made this guess because of the existence of the Yin God.

Yin Shen's cultivation level was at the pill-forming stage, so even if he took action, it would not trigger Taibai Sword Immortal's sword energy.

Yin Shen glanced at Zhou You in surprise: "Not bad."

Others suddenly understood after hearing this.

No wonder that after the ancient demon soul escaped from the trap, apart from using the aperture to devour some monks, it did not go on a killing spree, but disappeared into the demon-sealed land.

Wang Tiezhu said: "Doesn't that mean that the soul of the ancient demon can no longer threaten us?"

Yin Shen sneered and said: "You are too whimsical, unless you don't enter the forbidden area."

Wang Tiezhu was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but ask: "Does it mean that there is no sword energy left by Taibai Sword Immortal in the forbidden area?"

Yin Shen said disdainfully: "Do you really think that Taibai in the Nascent Soul stage is invincible? No matter how powerful he is, he will still escape death if he enters the forbidden area. That is the place of the ancient demon. Even ten thousand Taibai will not be able to deal with the ancient demon."

"..."

Wang Tiezhu scratched his head and said nothing more for a while.

Zhou You nodded secretly, Yin Shen was not belittling Taibai Sword Immortal, this was the fact.

Taibai Sword Immortal is indeed powerful and talented. He possesses innate purple energy and can compete with the Nascent Soul cultivation level in the stage of becoming a god.

But the Ancient Demon is hundreds of miles long and is a terrifying existence from outside the world. No one knows what level of cultivation it has reached. Compared with the Ancient Demon, Taibai Sword Immortal is indeed nothing worth mentioning.

Ten thousand Taibai Sword Immortals are indeed incomparable to the Ancient Demon.

He Taichang and Xiao Zhuoran were frightened when they heard this.

Especially He Taichang.

He didn't know about ancient demons or ancient demon souls. Now after listening to Yin Shen's words, he instantly realized that this demon-sealed land was not simple. There were actually ancient demons in the forbidden land, and the demon who walked out of the circle before , turned out to be the soul of the ancient demon!

According to Yin Shen, this ancient demon is ten thousand times more terrifying than Taibai Sword Immortal!

This made He Taichang a little confused.

…

As for what happened in the entire Demon Sealed Land in the past half month, in addition to the ancient demon's soul regaining freedom, there were also several major events that happened.

"You mean, in addition to the huge black circle of light that appeared half a month ago, there are several similar circles of light that also appeared in different directions?"

Zhou You frowned, feeling a little surprised and uncertain.

According to what Yin Shen said before, the three souls and seven souls of the ancient demon have been dispersed and sealed within ten tribes by the people of the ancient demon clan.

In other words, there are three souls and seven souls, a total of ten souls, all in this demon-sealed place.

However, these souls are all sealed.

But now that a large number of monks have entered this demon-sealed place, many people have begun to touch those seals, and even accidentally opened those seals, causing all the souls to come out of the seals?

When Wang Tiezhu and others heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed drastically.

A split soul is terrifying enough, but it exists in the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that all those souls are out of trouble, can they still have fun in this demon-sealed land?

Even Yin Shen fell silent, did not speak, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

He Taichang nodded solemnly: "Yes, I remember that in addition to the huge aperture at the beginning, there were seven other apertures. However, before it was involved, no one dared to approach the subsequent seven apertures. They were just far away. Look, due to the presence of demonic energy, most people don’t know what is happening within the aperture, nor do they know if a demon appears.”

After a pause, He Taichang continued: "Among the seven apertures, only one aperture is as large as the first aperture, and the other six apertures are much smaller than these two apertures."

After hearing what Taichang He said, everyone became surprised and confused again.

Wang Tiezhu said: "If it looks like this, there may not necessarily be a split soul of the ancient demon appearing."

Yin Shen sneered: "As long as that aperture appears, there will definitely be a soul in the world, don't take any chances."

"Forehead--"

Wang Tiezhu was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said doubtfully: "But if the remaining seven apertures all have the souls of the ancient demons, it stands to reason that they did not use the apertures to devour the monks, and their cultivation level should not be high. They are only in the elixir-forming stage. , why haven’t you heard of a demon appearing?”

Wang Tiezhu's words made most people nod involuntarily.

According to Zhou You's previous speculation, Taibai Sword Immortal left behind a method to deal with demons in this demon-sealed land. As long as the demon is in the Nascent Soul stage, it will trigger the sword energy of the demon-sealed land and strangle them.

But since those monsters are in the elixir formation stage, why don't they harm people?

Could it be that Zhou You's guess was wrong.

However.

Yin Shen continued: "There are two points. First, the ancient demon's split soul is so powerful that monks of the same level are far from opponents. They are often killed instantly when they encounter them. Even if he kills those pill-forming monks, no one will know."

"Secondly, they don't dare to take action easily. The major souls have already developed independent consciousness. Once they encounter it, it will be a life-or-death situation. One party will devour the other. Therefore, they will only take action unless it is a last resort. Normally they will Will choose to hide."

After hearing Yin Shen's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

So that's it.

At first, they thought that those separated souls only had one consciousness and would merge together as soon as possible after appearing, which would make them more powerful.

But now it seems that autonomous consciousness has been born.

Then there is a competitive relationship between the major souls.

And the party that loses the competition is destined to be wiped out.

In this case, they naturally have to be careful, even more careful than the monks in the Demon Sealed Land.

It is conceivable that they will not show up until important moments.

Of course, if they enter the forbidden area, the monks traveling around will also face a more dangerous situation.

After all, it is now certain that once the entrance to the forbidden land is opened, the souls of the ancient demons will definitely enter the forbidden land. By then, the competition among them will be even greater.

However, Zhou You quickly asked another question: "There is another question. Master He just said that there are only eight apertures at present. According to the situation of three souls and seven souls, there are still two The soul of the ancient demon didn’t appear, right?”

When he said this, Zhou You looked at Yin Shen.

Yin Shen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Well, according to normal circumstances, it is indeed the case."

Zhou You stared at Yin Shen. Although the rest of Yin Shen's body was shrouded in a cloak, judging from Yin Shen's reaction and change of tone, Zhou You still felt that something was wrong.

He always felt that Yin Shen was hiding something from him.

Especially on the remaining two ancient demon souls.

A bold idea arose in his mind.

However, Zhou You didn't say anything more, he just put these thoughts away and became more wary of Yinshen.

…

In addition to the appearance of the ghosts of ancient demons, He Taichang also said that there seemed to be more and more pill-forming monks in this demon-sealing land.

According to his understanding, many alchemy monks came in later.

Moreover, these alchemy monks are not limited to Lincheng and Nanzhou, there are even several monks from Yuezhou, Lanzhou and Yunzhou.

It can be seen how influential the demon-sealed land is this time.

After Zhou You heard this, he was a little surprised in his heart.

He had already noticed through the memory of the Hidden Spirit Insect that there were more and more monks in this demon-sealed land. There were definitely more than a hundred monks as he had initially guessed, there were at least nearly three hundred.

Unexpectedly, monks from Yunzhou, Yuezhou and Lanzhou came.

The Daqi Dynasty had a total of ten continents.

Nanzhou is the southernmost continent.

It is very far away from Tianqi City, separated by Yuezhou and Lanzhou, while Yunzhou is in the northwest of Nanzhou, close to the Demon Sea.

Forget about the monks from Yuezhou and Lanzhou. Apart from being generally stronger than Nanzhou, there is not much difference.

But monk Yunzhou is different.

Yunzhou is the most chaotic place in the entire Daqi Kingdom.

Further to the west is the Demon Sea. The Demon Sea is a mixture of fish and dragons. There are all kinds of monks in it. Whether they are monsters or monsters, the Demon Sea has them. There are no rules and laws in it. Murder and robbery can be seen everywhere, even in the largest city. There are cases of people killing people and stealing goods on the street.

Yunzhou is close to the Demon Sea and has been affected to some extent.

Therefore, although the monks in Yunzhou are also monks from the Daqi Kingdom, most of the monks here are cunning and cunning, and are proficient in heresy and have many evil sects.

Unexpectedly, monk Yunzhou came to this demon-sealed land.

It was a bit surprising to Zhou You.

"Boom——"

At this moment, the whole earth suddenly shook.

Then a terrifying aura came from the direction of the entrance to the forbidden area.

"what's the situation?"

Wang Tiezhu shouted.

Just when everyone thought something would happen at the entrance to the forbidden area, they discovered that the terrifying aura was not coming from the sword-like mountain at the entrance to the forbidden area, but behind the mountain, there was a slightly shorter one. mountain peak.

I saw the demonic energy on the mountain peak vibrating, and a large amount of demonic energy began to shrink crazily. After just a moment, the demonic energy seemed to have disappeared, or was swallowed up by something.

"Look! Another aperture!"

At this time, Wang Tiezhu suddenly pointed in that direction and shouted.

Zhou You's eyes flashed slightly, and he saw a black circle of light appearing on the mountain peak.

The black aperture was very small at first, but soon began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ninth black aperture appears!

In other words, inside the black aperture is the ninth soul of the ancient demon.

Unexpectedly, this ninth soul was found near the entrance to the forbidden area.

Where will the tenth black aperture appear?

Perhaps it will never appear.

Zhou You and others stared at the black circle of light and did not choose to leave this time.

The mountain peak was quite far away from them and it was impossible for them to be affected, so they were not worried.

Zhou You glanced at Yin Shen, only to see Yin Shen staring at the black circle of light, his body trembling slightly.

Zhou You carefully identified that kind of trembling and found that it was not a trembling of fear and fear, but a kind of excitement and excitement.

Zhou You's eyes flickered, and the speculation in his heart before became more real.

However, Zhou You did not speak, nor did he ask Yin Shen, he just kept the matter in mind.

"Look, a rainbow appears. What does it want to do?"

Wang Tiezhu suddenly spoke.

I saw a long rainbow suddenly appearing in the mountain forest not far away.

That Changhong was very fast, but after flying into the air, he stopped and turned into a young man wearing black clothes, with white hair, and a rather strange appearance.

"It's Meng Xun!"

Wang Tiezhu said.

Master Yuding and Taoist Baihe both frowned.

They all knew Meng Xun and obviously had no idea what Meng Xun was going to do.

Zhou You looked at Meng Xun without saying a word, just waiting for Meng Xun's next words to see what he was going to do.

"Fellow Taoists, I am the leader of the Righteous Alliance."

Meng Xun was suspended in mid-air and opened his mouth to introduce himself.

There was a trace of magic in his voice, which spread for dozens of kilometers nearby. Everyone near the entrance to the forbidden area heard his voice and looked at him.

After a moment of pause, Meng Xun continued: "You must have learned from the murals on those ruins that there is a forbidden area in this demon-sealing place. The real treasures and the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal are all in the forbidden area. And think about it. To open the forbidden area, you must collect three magic jade."

"Our Righteous Alliance has obtained one of the magic jade, and the other magic jade is in the hands of a Taoist friend from Taibai Academy. Only the last magic jade is left. Presumably the Taoist friend who got the magic jade is already nearby. , please also ask fellow Taoists to show up and open the forbidden area with us!" (End of this chapter)
