Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 193 - 150 Lion Camel Demon City (Request for Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 193: Chapter 150 Lion Camel Demon City (Request for Monthly Ticket)
The Monkey Demon had already turned into a lifeless corpse.
—— Eat....Humans ——
Based solely on this, Li Qian could never spare the life of this demon creature.
He had just conducted an interrogation, and the Monkey Demon had revealed everything it knew.
Unfortunately, the Monkey Demon didn’t know much.
However, one thing was certain: this Monkey Demon was enlightened before the demon sacrifice ritual.
According to the information provided by the Monkey Demon, there should be more small demons like it.
After these small demons were nurtured, their main use was to go outside, absorb human vitality, and then transfer it to the Upper Father Demon.
Yes, these small demons viewed the Upper Father Demon that enlightened them as their parent demon.
As for the current situation in the Huilong Mountain Range, the Monkey Demon didn’t know; its orders were to attack human migrant groups and plunder their vitality.
In the Huilong Mountain Range, there are specific Earth Demons that connect with these small demons to complete the transfer of vitality.
Li Qian looked at the sesame-sized demon stone taken from the Monkey Demon’s body, his face filled with solemnity.
Because the condensed demon stone contained human vitality plundered by the Monkey Demon. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"There must be other demons targeting the migrating crowds."
Li Qian thought to himself.
These small demons are also exceptionally powerful; only Heavenly Persons can handle them.
If a Great Grandmaster encounters them, several joining forces might be needed to withstand them.
These demons are nurtured by Upper Demons using their Lifebound Demon Power, so their initial strength is very strong, but the disadvantage is that forced growth makes future enhancement difficult.
If Upper Demons were to enlighten their offspring...they definitely would not do this; instead, they’d enhance step by step, similar to the cultivation of human Martial Artists.
"There’s also the Earth Demon mentioned by the Monkey Demon.... It’s said to have the ability to burrow and travel stealthily under the ground, able to freely enter and exit Huilong Mountain Range without being detected by human warriors on the perimeter."
Li Qian stroked his chin.
He needed to find an opportunity to kill this Earth Demon, completely severing the link between Huilong Mountain Range and the outside world; without these small demons supplying vitality to the demons in Huilong Mountain Range, it should be able to slow down their enhancement speed.
After all, the area needed for migration by the Divine Sword Sect is vast with a large population. Not knowing when the demons might strike, he couldn’t possibly ensure complete protection.
Therefore, he needed to find that Earth Demon first, and through it, locate the position of other small demons.
This way, he could "remove the fuel from under the pot," thoroughly solving the demon issue and ensuring the smooth progress of the great migration plan.
Thus, Li Qian carried the corpse of the Monkey Demon, flying towards the location agreed upon by the Monkey Demon and the Earth Demon.
In a valley.
Li Qian positioned the corpse of the Monkey Demon properly.
Next, he lay in ambush and went into hiding.
With the current ability of the Chen Bell to mask his presence, it is unlikely that even a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial could detect Li Qian’s presence here.
As for the black cloak, it had become rather useless.
He was wearing it now only to assume the identity of the man in the black cloak.
This time, the ambush lasted for more than two days.
In the deep of the night.
Fortunately, Li Qian was a Martial Artist with profound cultivation, otherwise, staying awake and immobile without eating, drinking, urinating, or defecating for two days and nights would have been impossible.
Suddenly, Li Qian keenly sensed some movement underground.
Getting closer.
But just as it was about to approach the Monkey Demon’s corpse, the movement suddenly stopped.
Almost at the moment the movement halted, Li Qian’s Heavenly Phenomenon Level Sword Intent instantly erupted, penetrating the earth.
Simultaneously, his Qi Blood Holy Realm was also released, covering a radius of a hundred zhang, including under the ground, and the power of the Qi Blood Holy Realm permeated everywhere.
Squeak!
A strange noise echoed from beneath the ground as something struggled. With a grab, Li Qian’s whirling Sword Qi ripped through the earth, and a white-furred rat the size of a wild cat was pulled out from underground by him.
Li Qian held the struggling white-furred rat with one hand.
It should be called a Rat Demon.
Its inner energy was much stronger than that of the Monkey Demon.
However, it was firmly suppressed by Li Qian’s Qi Blood.
Next, Li Qian repeated his tactics and began the interrogation, even tricking the Rat Demon by saying that the Monkey Demon was killed with his sword because it did not cooperate.
Terrified, the Rat Demon shivered and eventually disclosed the locations of several other small demons, as well as the general situation in the Huilong Mountain Range.
It turned out that beneath the Huilong Mountain Range, a massive Ancient Demon City was hidden, formerly known as Lion Camel Demon City.
Due to this Ancient Demon City being sealed for too long, its complete array could not be activated, and only a small part of it was currently functioning.
The demon creatures that now appeared were called Yellow Lang Demon Saints, one of the Demon Saints under the Lion Camel Great Saint, the lord of Lion Camel Ridge.
The reason why this Rat Demon knew so much was that it possessed the ability to listen and hide underground, overhearing many secrets discussed by the Upper Father Demons in Huilong Mountain.
Now, everything had been forcefully extracted by Li Qian.
Li Qian felt quite emotional; these small demons had not been enlightened for long and, although intelligent, were still very naive and frightened of death, which made them easy to threaten and deceive. Otherwise, once they turned into older demons, it would not be so easy to extract information from them.
However, the information obtained from the Rat Demon weighed heavily on Li Qian’s mind.
No wonder Taiwu Dao Mansion had struggled to conquer Huilong Mountain for so long, having to resort to a scorched earth resettlement plan; after all, Huilong Mountain originally housed an Ancient Lion Camel Demon City.
Now, only part of its array was activated, but if the entire array of Lion Camel Demon City were to be fully activated in the future, the possibility of breaching it might be extremely low.
Such a terrifying Demon City was located within Taiwu Dao, and it was less than three thousand miles straight from Divine Sword Sect.
How could one allow another to snore beside when lying on the bed?
Would he not always be under threat from Lion Camel Demon City while cultivating by ringing the Chen Bell at the Divine Sword Sect?
"So, this Lion Camel Demon City must be eradicated."
Li Qian’s eyes gleamed with a cold light.
Of course, to eradicate the Lion Camel Demon City, he would have to wait until he became a Martial Saint.
He could not afford to take such a big risk now.
Even the Taiwu Dao Master could not deal with Lion Camel Demon City; wouldn’t he just be delivering himself on a platter if he went?
Li Qian was well aware of his own capabilities.
Over the next period, Li Qian used the information provided by the Rat Demon to lie in wait and catch several small demons all at once.
However, Li Qian felt heavy-hearted.
Because whenever a small demon came to meet the Rat Demon, it definitely had absorbed a substantial amount of humans’ vitality.
So he showed no mercy to these demons, killing them all.
But after exterminating the fifth small demon, when he was waiting for the sixth, that small demon never showed up.
He analyzed two possibilities.
One, that the small demon had already been killed.
Recently, with the increasing activity of demons attacking human migrant groups, both Taiwu Dao Mansion and Divine Sword Sect would surely send Heavenly Persons to eliminate the demons.
Two, the forces from Lion Camel Demon City might have realized that the Rat Demon had not returned and could have been aware of the problem, thus notifying the remaining demons through other means of communication.
Consequently, Li Qian visited the remaining two places and indeed did not encounter any demons.
He was almost certain of the second possibility.
Lion Camel Demon City had other ways to communicate with the remaining demons.
