"But, to hurt an innocent person for no reason..."
The girl said somewhat reluctantly.
Hey, are you a demon cultivator? You're making me look like the bad guy...
"Well," Ah Miao jumped down from the tree, blinked, looked at Tang Xin, and asked, "Do we still want to act together?"
"uh-huh?"
"I am a half-demon after all, I will definitely keep my promise," Ah Miao said, "I will not abandon you halfway and run away, meow."
Are there really people who keep their word in the world of cultivation?
"Okay, meow." Tang Xin thought for a moment and nodded, "But don't ask too many questions about what's next, don't think too much about it, and don't tell anyone else. Got it, meow? This is our agreement."
"I understand, meow," A Miao nodded, "Also, why are you imitating my speech, meow..."
Chapter 78 Neither of them can satisfy you
After A Miao joined, Tang Xin told them their plans.
The cat demon kept his promise, but the next moment he felt extremely regretful and cursed himself in his heart why he didn't run away in disgrace.
"The Hall of Hundred Poisons? Is it the demonic ruins that are said to hide a lot of treasures?" A Miao said with a bitter face, "Do you know what kind of place you are going to and what kind of people you are facing? If you rob them of their things, you will take their lives, meow!"
"In fact, we don't necessarily have to rob it head-on," Lian Xin comforted, "The item is in a special secret room in the palace, and they may not have taken it out yet."
"If you can steal, then steal. If you can't steal, then wait and see," Tang Xin said. "It is dangerous, but not as scary as you think."
Isn't this scary?
She also said this when she was exploring the cave, but the formation made everyone faint...
Snatching food from a tiger's mouth is certainly dangerous, but the prerequisite is that they can successfully reach the location of the Hall of Hundred Poisons.
Even if we ignore the eleven life-and-death crises we have experienced so far since the cave collapsed, it would be a big trouble if we met anyone else on the road.
With the addition of the cat demon and relying on her keen perception, Tang Xin and the others continued their journey in the Hundred Poison Mountains, trying to avoid other cultivators.
Lianxin seemed to be familiar with the topography of the entire Baidu Mountains. She knew where the special terrain was and what kind of relics were hidden there. She could tell the two of them without them having to look up anything.
No wonder the demon monks wanted to capture her. With such a "navigation NPC" around, they would definitely gain a lot in the mountains.
"There are people ahead," A Miao stopped and reminded, "We can't get around."
Tang Xin signaled to the two of them, put one hand behind his back, and secretly circulated his true energy.
After a while, there was a noisy sound coming from the front.
"I said those guys were suspicious!"
"How do you know this? Can the devil cultivators disguise themselves?"
"Next time you see a suspect, take action first and then question him. You always let him get away. Did we come to the Hundred Poison Mountains to enjoy the scenery?"
Several monks wearing the same style of Taoist robes appeared in the field of vision, both men and women.
"He is a disciple of Qingshuimen."
Tang Xin said.
There were many people from Qingshui Sect who came this time, but due to the limited strength of the sect, the level of the disciples sent out could only be considered middle to lower levels in the Zhumo League.
After getting within the fighting distance, the disciples of Qingshuimen also discovered the people in front of them, and one by one they showed looks of surprise.
If it's a righteous monk, just knock him out and erase his memory, even though the process is a bit painful...
"Fellow Daoist Tang Xin!"
A female cultivator ran over excitedly, her eyes shining.
"I didn't expect to meet you here! I am your loyal supporter!"
Uh...when did I have supporters?
Tang Xin was about to cover the female cultivator's head with his palm, but he changed direction, scratched his head and said.
“Am I doing anything worthy of support?”
"Powerful, not bound by rules, free and independent," the female cultivator said like a star-chaser, "Isn't this worth supporting?"
"Ahem, Junior Sister, you shouldn't be so rude to Fellow Daoist Tang," the male cultivator at the side looked at the people here and asked casually, "Isn't Fellow Daoist Tang in a team with Fellow Daoists Shangguan and Liu? Why don't I see the others?"
"Separated."
Tang Xin said lightly.
In front of the monks of the Demon-Slaying League, it is best to remain aloof. Explaining too much would be inconsistent with your personality.
"I see," the female cultivator looked at her new teammates and said thoughtfully, "I also think those two are a bit suspicious. Even if they are not undercover agents of the Demonic Path, they are definitely not good people... Brother Tang is really amazing and was able to discover it early!"
"These two," the male cultivator said again, "Uh, half-demons? Also, I think the fellow Taoist next to him looks a little unfamiliar. Isn't he from the Demon Slayer League?"
Why are you talking so much nonsense? Can't you just pretend you didn't see it?
Tang Xin scratched his head and stretched his hand forward again, ready to give this man a wake-up call at any time.
"What do you know?" The Qingshui Sect disciple next to him scolded, "Recognizing a half-demon is a manifestation of Brother Tang's benevolence! The fellow next to him must be from some holy land. I have only seen such a holy aura in a few immortal cultivation sects that focus on accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!"
"Yes, yes! As the saying goes, excellent people will attract each other! Look at these two people, they are suitable to be Tang Daoyou's teammates!"
"It's my fault, it's my fault. My old suspicious habit has come back again..."
Several disciples of Qingshuimen quarreled with each other for a while, and then their attention was turned to Tang Xin again.
"Fellow Daoist Tang, where are you going? It's already halfway through the time agreed upon by the elders, and many people have started to return."
"Exorcise the demon," Tang Xin said expressionlessly, "It is a demon that must be exorcised."
This expression, this momentum, this determined look...
"The light of righteousness!" "The role model of righteousness!" "The defender of righteousness!"
After overwhelming praise, several disciples of Qingshuimen stood up and said goodbye.
Everyone in the Demon Slayer League knew that Tang Xin was very strict with her teammates. Even Shangguan Qing'er and Liu Mei couldn't satisfy her, so they naturally wouldn't make things difficult for themselves.
Seeing the people walking away, Tang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"An expert is an expert," Ah Miao said, "So your influence is so great? I finally followed the right person!"
"Do the righteous monks nowadays recognize people so easily?" Lian Xin asked in confusion, "I clearly didn't say anything, didn't do anything, how did I become the 'Saint' of the Holy Land?"
"I didn't tell a single lie," Tang Xin curled her lips, "Let's continue on our way. I'm afraid if we stay here for too long, some trouble will come our way..."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of fighting could be heard faintly in the distance.
Well, the next way to die is coming!
"The demon cultivator...will be executed!"
"Die for me!"
Judging from the sounds, there seemed to be quite a few people on both sides.
If someone recognized Lianxin's identity, she would be killed without a burial place.
Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!
……
Somewhere in the Baidu Mountains.
On the ground, a formation with complex patterns emits a faint light.
"The magic weapon shows that Lianxin is still in the Hundred Poison Mountains," a deep voice came from the formation, "The Poison Flower Valley has sent people to look for her and found some abnormalities. We suspect that someone is helping her."
"Help her? Who would do such a thing?"
The person in front of the formation sounded puzzled.
"I'm not sure, but it's definitely not someone from the Demon Cultivator's side," the deep voice said, "maybe it's someone from your side."
"Is there someone in the Demon Slayer Alliance helping her? How is that possible? As far as I know, although some of these people have bad intentions, their foundations are still clean and they have no intention of getting involved in the devil's way."
"Humph, it's clean only because the temptation is not enough. In the face of sufficient benefits, no one can stay out of it... You should speed up the investigation. We don't have much time left."
"I understand," the man in front of the formation nodded, "I will definitely bring Lian Xin back!"
Chapter 79: No More Choice Three
The Hall of Hundred Poisons is located deep in the Hundred Poison Mountains, amidst an area of complex terrain. It is a very hidden location and there are still traps in various passages that were set who knows how many years ago. It is quite dangerous.
As to why the demon cultivators in the Hundred Poison Mountains were still unwilling to give up this place after the first round of encirclement and suppression by the righteous sects, one of the reasons was that the items in the temple had not yet been moved away.
This place of magic relic was left behind by a certain magic force thousands of years ago. It contains many treasures, ranging from magic weapons to magic skills.
If it were left to waste in the mountains or destroyed by righteous monks, it would feel like a waste of God's gifts.
There are demon cultivators patrolling around the hall at all times to prevent suspicious people from breaking in.
Behind a huge rock.
"It's well guarded, meow," Miao observed and reported, "It's almost impossible to sneak in without being discovered."
There were more demon cultivators staying behind at the Hundred Poisons Hall than expected. Perhaps because the righteous were closing in on them, they also wanted to grab their things and leave as soon as possible.
Every passage was guarded, and with the strength of the three of them, the chances of breaking in by force were slim.
"What do you want to take?" Tang Xin asked Xiang Lianxin, "The magic treasure?"
"You can say that," the girl who had been reluctant to reveal her true identity was very frank about this. "The Kyushu Sealing Manual records many spaces, creatures, and special powers that were sealed by the magic path in history. If this thing falls into their hands, Kyushu will definitely face a series of disasters."
"Well, isn't this good?" Tang Xin was stunned. "For a demon cultivator..."
"Things that are sealed are sealed for a reason," Lian Xin said. "If you open them at will, it won't be a good thing for anyone."
This guy... is he planning to save the world?
Is this the "spark of magic"?
"The 'Jiuzhou Sealing Manual' is placed in the deepest part of the Hundred Poisons Palace, and is protected by numerous traps and formations," she continued, "Without the correct method, these people's strength should not be able to crack it by force."
Therefore, now all we need to think about is how to enter the Hall of Hundred Poisons.
