Forty-one, Kunlun Border (Twenty-one)

  The three of them were secretly shocked in their hearts. Compared to the focus and frenzy in Luo Jianying's eyes, the other two did not show any expression on their faces, each thinking to themselves.

  "It was actually evil cultivation, no wonder I always felt something was off," Rong Jianying said, glancing at Xiao Yao's primordial infant with no interest, and then staring intently into her eyes, "You're very strong, choose a day and pick a place, we'll have another match."

  Xiao Yao's head was still throbbing with pain, and when he heard him suddenly come to his own door, his head hurt even more. He hastily shook his head and said: "I have no reason to fight with Daoist friends."

  However, Ling Jianying was not one to give up easily and stubbornly said: "You are strong, I am also strong, that's the reason. Let's have a match!"

  Xiao Yao was speechless, how could this person be so stubborn and unreasonable. For the time being, she didn't bother to reason with him either. Pointing at the demonic drum that emitted wave after wave of intimidating aura, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Zi Dong, "How should we deal with this thing?"

  All the evil artifacts forged by evil cultivators with thick and heavy killing energy are called demonic instruments. Although demonic instruments can be used by righteous cultivators and have infinite power, they can also easily lead to the invasion of killing energy into one's heart, causing them to fall into the demonic path, which is harmful to both oneself and others. Therefore, whether in the mortal world or the immortal realm, demonic instruments are forbidden objects. If a cultivator obtains one, it must be either permanently sealed or destroyed.

  Xiao Yao intentionally asked Zi Dong, which was to tell him: she knew that he had brought this thing here and hoped that the other party could give an explanation.

  He was calm and composed, not showing any signs of being flustered by the questioning. He said slowly, "The 'Chaotic Demon Drum' is one of the hundred sacred artifacts of the demon spirit realm, specializing in attacking spiritual consciousness. In the demon spirit realm, there has always been a rumor circulating: as long as you can gather all hundred sacred artifacts, you can unify the two realms of immortals and demons. Although most of the hundred sacred artifacts are in the demon spirit realm, a small portion have fallen into various immortal realms. For a million years, the demon spirit realm has never given up on this grand ambition, and with the next great war between immortals and demons imminent, it's understandable that evil cultivators have been active lately." As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Xiang Yu's primordial infant in Xiao Yao's hand. The latter's face was pale, her lips tightly closed, not saying a word, and the entire primordial infant emitted an aura of despair.

  "The material of the Magic Holy Artifact is special, almost indestructible. For now, let's just seal it temporarily." He said this to the three people and casually took out a few talismans, slapping them onto the magic drum. Instantly, the evil energy on the drum gradually dissipated, leaving behind only a thin, barely visible layer of evil energy film.

  Watching Zidong complete this series of actions with ease, Xiao Yao was about to speak up when he was interrupted by him saying: "Chong Rou Daoist friend, did you suffer from the sonic attack of 'Chaotic Devil Drum' earlier?"

  Xiao Yao narrowed her eyes and gazed at his slightly curved lip corners, "What does fellow Daoist want to say?"

  "There's nothing, I just sincerely admire fellow Taoist," a hint of praise and an inexplicable glint flashed in Zidong's eyes. "Having strong cultivation doesn't mean one's divine sense and will are equally strong. Divine sense and will are harder to temper than the physical body and also more fragile. Therefore, although 'Chaos Demon Drum' is not ranked high among the hundred magic sacred artifacts, its lethality can be ranked in the top ten. Even if this evil cultivator can only exert one-thousandth of the drum's power, it's enough to severely injure or shatter a Transcendent cultivator's divine sense. Even with a protective artifact for the divine sense, it will create illusions that undermine one's willpower. Fellow Taoist has both strong divine sense and will."

  Xiao Yao listened, but her gaze noticed that Lü Jianying's eyes staring at her were getting brighter and brighter. Suddenly, she felt a twinge in her heart and had a bad premonition. She avoided the heavy topic and said lightly: "Fellow Taoist is overpraising, the power of that drum sound is probably not even one ten-thousandth of its true power, otherwise why didn't the three of them at the entrance get affected?"

  She really did bury the leeway of Yu Feng, and the magic array disc she brought with her to break the formation was no ordinary object. The seal at the entrance of the cave was enough to isolate the drum sound she struck out, and only Zidong could instantly remove it, let alone any other array master under Lian Shen would have to spend a lot of effort.

  However, Zi Dong also did not expose her lie, but just smiled and stopped talking. At this time, two more people came in from the entrance, one after another, rushing like fire, who were Cao Tao Tao and Wang Fu.

  As soon as Cao Taotao entered the cave, his gaze first swept over the four people and the sealed "Chaos Demon Drum", then his line of sight stuck to the primordial infant in Xiao Yao's hand with a hint of evil energy. Suddenly, his face changed greatly, and he turned around abruptly, wanting to escape.

  Kuang Fu was right behind him, extremely vigilant, and how could he let him have the opportunity to take advantage of it. At this moment, he held a magic treasure in his hand and blocked the entrance of the cave.

  "Get out of the way! Good luck!" Cao Taotao shouted in a fluster.

  "Cao Taotao, if you don't make things clear, don't think about leaving." Wang Fugui was relentless.

  The two men then wrestled each other to a place, and soon others also came one after another.

  Originally nearly thirty people were transported to this place, now only about ten people have arrived at the summit, and Li Man, the representative of the Dongjiu Cultivator, is also unknown, nor does he know whether he has fallen or wandered elsewhere.

  As more and more people gathered to watch, Cao Taotao's face gradually turned pale, his mind no longer focused on the fight, and he was soon subdued by Wang Fu after a dozen or so rounds.

  Xiao Yao saw that the person had already been captured by Wang Fu, so he waved the Yuanying in his hand and said: "Yu Dao friend, now that everyone is here, shouldn't you give us a reasonable explanation?"

  Yu Feng refused: "Since failure has fallen into your hands, I have nothing to say." With that, he closed his eyes resolutely.

  Since he refused to cooperate, Xiao Yao didn't force him either. Her gaze shifted towards Cao Tao Tao, "If Yu Dao friend doesn't want to say anything, that's fine too. Letting Cao Dao friend explain is the same."

  He then threw it out with a swing of his hand, and the yuan fetus formed an arc flying towards Wang Fu and Cao Taotao.

  Before Wang Fu could catch up, Yuanying was pinched in Cao Taotao's palm. He stared at the little person in his hand with mixed anger and hatred, wishing he could crush this detestable person to death immediately! Unfortunately, he couldn't do it now.

  "You wicked cultivator! How dare you deceive me!!" As he spoke, the force in his hand increased by several degrees. Yuanying was weak and couldn't withstand it, and the light around him dimmed instantly.

  "Cough, cough, humph! The heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, and one's own desires have moved. Who can blame anyone else?" Yu Feng revealed a sneer on his face.

  "You!" Cao Taotao's anger caused her whole body to tremble, and she clenched her fists again.

  Just as Yuan Yao was about to be crushed by him, Wang Fu countered and seized him, snatching away Yuan Yao and saying: "Before killing you and silencing you, let's first get things clear!"

  This made everyone's eyes focus on Cao Taotao, and he also knew that things had been exposed and could no longer be hidden, so he slowly told the whole story.

  This matter should be traced back to more than half a year ago, when Yu Feng obtained a treasure map by chance during a mission, which was said to record the location of the ancient divine artifact Nuwa Stone, and since then, the two have been planning.

  Author's note: The busy period took longer than expected, striving to return to normal tomorrow. The first guided copy has also come to an end, and the Xianling realm will finally be unfolded next. This period of busyness dragged a originally 15-chapter-long copy into 20 chapters, which was also very difficult for me to write. I can only pray that there won't be any more annoying things happening next.
