Chapter 93: Entering the Devil's Domain Alone

  The sky and earth were a dull gray, with endless dark clouds and distant mountains tangled together, blocking almost all the light between heaven and earth.

  No sunshine shines everywhere, no green hills and clear waters, thin mountains are rugged, bare and strange peaks stand tall.

  The vast land is filled with all kinds of choking smoke and fog, which shrouds the sky and covers the sun, making this world look so bleak and desolate, unlike a human world.

  In the void, storms rage fiercely, and the dark sky is often torn apart by void storms. Silent, silver light like lightning splits open in the void, followed by tremors of the earth, as if this world would collapse at any moment, making one's heart throb with fear.

  In this vast and boundless world, human existence seems so small. This is truly a place where the heavens are mysterious and the universe is desolate, like magic, like fantasy...

  This is Demon Territory.

  From the Huaxia mainland to the Demon Realm, there are countless entrances. Through a Demon Realm transmission array, Zhuyi was in the South China Sea one moment and arrived at the Demon Realm the next.

  The vast and boundless demon realm, the nine major demon realms, 360 demon realms in all directions. All these regions combined are many times larger than the human cultivator's gathering place, the Great Continent of China.

  The Four Seas County mainland is known as the Ten Thousand Mile River Mountain, and the Four Seas County's demon domain spans tens of thousands of kilometers. For low-level cultivators, the Four Seas County's demon domain alone is a vast expanse that can never be fully explored.

  It is also because of the vastness of the Demon Realm that the Great Civilization of Cultivation has gone through millions of years, and the Demon Realm remains the most mysterious place in the hearts of human cultivators.

  The vermilion fish stood atop a mountain peak, gazing out at the boundless and vast expanse, its heart surging with excitement. This place was simply a magical world.

  "Xiao Zhu! Come quickly and lend a hand, don't just admire the beautiful scenery of the demon realm, don't forget our purpose for coming here!"

  The speaker was a bald-headed man of about forty years old, his name was Shi Peng.

  The Vermilion Fish missed the trial of the Demon Realm of Nanhai Institute and also missed the opportunity to enter the central area of the Demon Realm with the main force of Nanhai Institute.

  Before the Demon-Slaying Day, the Southern Ocean Immortal Realm will activate a special teleportation array for the convenience of disciples from various major forces to hunt demons.

  This teleportation array can directly transport the Demon Hunter to the central area of the South Sea Demon Domain.

  The demon tribe is declining, if you want to hunt demons and gain something, directly enter the central area of a certain region, and there will be many more opportunities.

  Unfortunately, the direct transmission arrays leading to the central area are all controlled by various major forces.

  Other minor forces. Ordinary demon-hunting teams can't even touch the central transmission array.

  Zhu Yu entered the Demon Realm this time and could only choose to join a small demon-hunting team. He temporarily joined a small team called "Clang Clang Demon-Hunting Team".

  The team has a total of seven members, including Zhu Yu. They are all post-heaven cultivators, with the highest cultivation being Captain Shi Peng, who is at the eighth level of body refinement.

  Shi Peng is a member of the Xi Hua Sect, a small but well-known sect in Nan Hai. He holds a relatively high position within the sect, which can be seen from his identity as a body-refining cultivator.

  Even if it's the "Wild Ox Body Refining Technique" that Shi Peng cultivated, a common body refining technique, it is still extremely difficult to cultivate.

  A small sect, cultivating a physique that reaches the acquired Eightfold Realm. It will inevitably consume countless resources.

  After refining his body to the eighth level of the Post-Heavenly stage, he was already considered an extremely powerful existence in the South Sea Immortal Realm.

  Apart from Shi Peng, there is another body refiner named Hou Yong. He has cultivated the "Mang Niu Lian Ti Jue" (Fierce Ox Body Refining Technique) to the fifth level of refinement and is a fellow disciple and brother of Shi Peng.

  Another four people, one of whom was a puppet master, thin and weak, called Xin Jun.

  A Beast Tamer Guide. Towards Heaven, the cultivation is the lowest, and after four days of heaven. However, as a guide, the "Demon Spirit Dog" he rides has an extremely great effect.

  There was also a ghost repairman, Fan Cang'er, who wielded a single bone sword. His face was pale and he was extremely taciturn, his cultivation unknown.

  What caught the attention was Jian Xiushi, Shi Peng's sister, 28 years old, with a plump and slender figure, extremely beautiful, her cultivation had reached the Seventh Heaven of Postnatal Realm, second only to Shi Peng in the entire team, with an extremely high status.

  The demon-hunting squad of the Gypsum Organization is a very matured demon-hunting team.

  Shi Peng is also a very experienced and thoughtful demon hunter with a mature style.

  His siblings have been wandering in the Demon Realm for a long time, making a living by hunting demons. Zhu Yu is very satisfied that he can join this team.

  Zhu Yu is the symbol repairer in the team, responsible for setting up camps and arrays, breaking through the possible symbol arrays in the demon tribe's lair, and most importantly, setting up protective symbol arrays for the "Demon Spirit Hound".

  Of course, Zhu Yu wouldn't boast that he was a disciple of the Purple Robe in Nanhai Institute. The information he provided to Shi Peng was about the Postnatal Five-Element Seal Cultivation, barely meeting the current qualifications for joining the Demon Hunting Team.

  As soon as they came out of the transmission array, Shi Peng immediately shouted for everyone to get busy.

  Everyone worked together to set up a simple tent on the back of a mountain, and then Zhu Yu began to arrange warning arrays and defensive arrays near the tent.

  The piggy looks just like a rookie, and in fact he really is a rookie. Entering the Demon Realm for the first time, he's as nervous as a bride on her wedding day.

  But after the tent was set up, Zhu Yu's arrangement of the formation around it was very impressive. Shi Peng personally inspected it and was very satisfied. He smiled at Zhu Yu, revealing a row of neat teeth. Shi Jing, who was standing beside him, laughed and patted Zhu Yu's shoulder in a very generous manner:

  "Hey, didn't expect that, Little Zhu! Your Daoist cultivation is quite impressive! I said you could do it, but Hou Yong insisted you couldn't!" She raised an eyebrow and turned her head to look at the tall and imposing Hou Yong behind her: "How about it? Hou Yong, isn't Little Zhu's arranged formation pretty good?"

  Hou Yong coughed awkwardly, on Xianyuan Street, the Shi siblings invited Zhu Yu to join their team, he strongly opposed it, his fiery temper even made him want to personally test Zhu Yu's cultivation.

  Finally, Shi Cong's overbearing manner surfaced and he sternly rebuked him, only then did the matter come to an end.

  Even so, Hou Yong was full of vigilance towards Zhu Yu all the way. When the two were alone facing each other, he even waved his fists and threatened: "Little boy, stay away from Xiao Jing! Otherwise I'll kill you!"

  It's clear that Hou Yong has deep feelings for Shi Jing, and sees Zhu Yu as a threat.

  "Xiao Zhu, young man with a promising future, do well and I recommend you to join our Xihua Sect! Many of the Zhu family's side branches have joined my Xihua Sect, it won't be too much for one more!" Shi Jing smiled, her smile was very lovely, with a big dimple on her face, showing a heroic spirit amidst her charm.

  Not to mention Hou Yong and his gang, even Zhu Yu was stunned.

  She has a tall and slender figure, with a very full development. Her skin is not very white, but her complexion matches her temperament perfectly, giving people a healthy and energetic feeling.

  He is a straightforward and elegant person. When fighting, he is like a small leopard, fierce and brave, very efficient and neat.

  She patted her chest and made a promise to Zhu Yu, but it seemed like it wasn't enough. She smiled and leaned in close to Zhu Yu, her breath smelling sweet, her lips almost touching Zhu Yu's earlobe: "Little Zhu, remember, you're my person! With me around, no one can bully you, so be brave and follow us to hunt demons! Any great demon hunter started out as a newbie!"

  Zhu Yu listened to Shi Jing's soft words, the faint tingling sensation on his ears mixed with the girl's delicate body fragrance, which made him infatuated.

  "You little rascal, you're not honest!" Shi Jing giggled and said, her face flushing with a hint of red, making her look even more delicate and lovely.

  "Alright, alright, Xiaojing, stop making a fuss!" Shi Peng said, waving his hands in all directions: "Everyone come over and listen to me!"

  "From now on, everyone will disperse to rest and meditate, absolutely cannot leave the range of the Fu array. We'll wait until the hour of You and then take action, our target direction is due west..."

  Shi Peng loudly told everyone that he was a skilled demon hunter, and his layout arrangement was very familiar. He repeated the division of labor for each person, one by one, reminding team members of their respective responsibilities, and the deployment was well-organized.

  Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, that's all I have to say. Xiaojing, you're in charge of the sneak attack defense first! Brothers, this year's Fumo Day is said to be very active in the demon realm's lair, with many rare big demons appearing frequently, and good news keeps coming from the central area. This time we must boost our morale and do a good job, I firmly believe that we will return with a full load!"

  ……

  The day before and after the Demon Suppression is a demon hunt, which is a tradition of human cultivators in the Great World of Huaxia, and also the most important period for human cultivators to capture resources from the demon domain throughout the year.

  This time in the South China Sea fairy realm, almost all major forces have come out in full force.

  Nanhai Xianxian Academy, with six sects including Qianxin Sect, Xiandao Sect, Wanshou Sect and Babao Sect, all have branches in Nanhai. The four major families of Nanhai's pre-heavenly born spirits and post-heavenly powerful experts are also taking action.

  In addition to the Southern Ocean Xianjie countless small sects, small forces, various scattered cultivators, and demon-hunting teams.

  Such a demon-hunting team may have tens of thousands of people.

  Such a large-scale sweep of the demon domain is a huge disaster for the struggling and dying demon tribe, but for human cultivators, it is a grand feast of plundering resources.

  Nanhai Temple, on the top of Penglai Peak behind the mountain.

  The seven strongest in the South China Sea gathered together.

  It is only before and after the Demon Hunting Day that several big shots in Nanhai have the opportunity to gather together.

  Hunting demons means harvest, and once a year on Demon Hunting Day, how much harvest will there be this year? They are all concerned about this.

  "Wooo... Not bad, the news from the Demon Realm is frequent! The Divine Sword Hall has already beheaded two Great Demons and eradicated a Den of Earth Elemental Demons. Such harvests are enviable! Jiang Hui, we should all congratulate you!" The third offering Li Daonan said loudly, his eerie laughter revealing his identity as a Ghost Cultivator.

  Jiang Huixian sat at the end, smiling and nodding: "It seems there's some gain after all. It looks like what was said about the demon clan being restless these years isn't false! Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to enter the Demon Realm and show off our skills. Otherwise, hunting down a giant demon and seizing its heart would make the Dao of Immortals even more unobstructed for us!"

  She sighed softly and continued: "I really want to enter the Demon Realm once, but unfortunately..."

  According to the rules of Siming Prefecture, before and after the Demon Hunt, only cultivators above the Void Realm who enter the Demon Domain can be from Wuling Pavilion and the Prefectural Prince's Manor.

  Monks from other domains, once they reach the state of entering emptiness, are forbidden to enter the Four Seas Demon Domain before and after the Demon Hunting Day.

  The resources of Demon Territory are limited, and the major powers cannot tolerate top-tier resources being seized by other minor powers.
