Chapter 515 - 257: The Five Demon Dao Sects (Part 2)

"Hey!" Wen Wenyue grinned, his mouth full of rotten teeth turning his dignified image into something comical.

He wouldn’t believe Wang Zhuoqun’s nonsense and saw through the real reason he would come down from the mountain.

"Isn’t it just to follow that little girl? I’ve watched you grow up, what thoughts could you have that I wouldn’t know?"

"The old Hall Master is indeed perceptive." Wang Zhuoqun’s demeanor had changed drastically from before, his eyes were like twinkling stars in the night.

"Stop flattering, the Sect Leader sent you here, it’s definitely not just to escort them."

Wen Wenyue laughed and scolded: "I won’t ask you, just get lost."

"Alrighty!" Wang Zhuoqun answered eagerly and walked to the teleportation array with a carefree stride.

"Trouble the old Hall Master for a send-off."

"Come back for a drink afterwards." As Wen Wenyue was about to activate the array, his gaze became vague and he started to ramble: "I don’t have many days left to live, maybe it’s the last drink."

The smile on Wang Zhuoqun’s face disappeared after Wen Wenyue said those words.

Looking solemnly at the old man in front of him, he nodded earnestly: "Certainly!"

Boom! The teleportation array activated again, engulfing Wang Zhuoqun’s figure.

Thick, ink-like clouds pressed extremely low.

Rumble! Scarlet lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the earth erratically.

This was a range of continuous mountains, hard for vegetation to grow; all one could see were jagged, twisted black rocks.

Withered trees rooted in the ground at odd angles, their bark peeling away, revealing pale wood covered in ghostly green vines.

Deep within the mountains, a faint array fluctuation suddenly erupted.

The bright light appeared remarkably striking in the cloud-covered area.

Its source was a half-severed mountain, where light flickered briefly from the ruins below.

With the light gone, two men and a woman emerged from the darkness amidst the rubble.

"Whew!" Liou Yuan first surveyed the area, using Evil Eyes to confirm there was no one around, then took a deep breath of the mountain air.

The air here was mixed with a metallic, iron-like sweetness.

The environment around also made Liou Yuan, accustomed to the sweet spiritual air among the misty peaks of the Five Extremes Mountain, feel a bit uneasy.

"Is this Linlang Domain?" Wei Miaomeng, who rarely ventured out of Five Extremes Mountain, was suddenly in a realm run rampant by demon cultivators, her eyes filled with vigilance.

"Indeed, it’s Linlang Domain." Well-read, Liou Yuan began explaining to Wei Miaomeng the records about Linlang Domain from ancient texts.

"Here, the earth’s nature corrodes star spiritual qi, depleting spirit veins, making vegetation rare. Hence, the demon cultivators rise to rob materials from all corners to fuel their cultivation."

Lao Xiuyuan chimed in, "The reason demon cultivators are so fearless of death ties directly to their cultivation environment."

Perhaps it was during the battle against Rhino Star Evil in Jiuli State, the strength shown by Liou Yuan and Lao Xiuyuan made Wei Miaomeng feel secure around them.

Seeing both men calm, her timidity faded, and she even joked, "Let’s move, we’ll hear your lectures later."

The Evil Star Shift was still ongoing, and Linlang Domain was no exception.

The three followed the mountain range, heading towards the direction of the sunrise.

Being newcomers to Linlang Domain, they had no idea where Nightmare Demon Palace was, naturally needing to ask someone.

It was just that the teleportation array was placed so remotely, that it took them nearly two hours of flight to see the first city protected by an array on the horizon.

This city was small, even smaller than Liou Yuan’s old home, Yanhe City, by nearly a third.

The city walls were exceedingly rough, black stones piled up without repair, showing many uneven spots.

The walls clearly lacked any defensive strength, relying solely on the surrounding defense array to ward off external star evils.

To avoid exposing their identities, the three had already donned the skin crafted by Heling well before approaching the city.

Liou Yuan transformed into a Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator from Nightmare Demon Palace, with slightly sunken eye sockets, a hooked nose, and black tattoos stretching from his face to his neck, his appearance alone seemed menacing.

Additionally, with Liou Yuan using Mist Concealment Skill to cover the aura of the Geng Metal Body Refining Skill, he adopted a scent similar to the demonic cultivation skill practiced by the body cultivator.

Thus, whether in appearance, demeanor, or true essence fluctuation, he no longer resembled his previous self.

He had transformed completely into a demon cultivator.

Wei Miaomeng disguised as a female cultivator practicing the Yin Yang Crossing Skill from Nightmare Demon Palace.

She needed not to employ magic to conceal her aura; her seductive gaze and demeanor resembled that female cultivator by seventy to eighty percent.

Lao Xiuyuan, without a skin disguise, had to use magic to alter his true essence aura to make himself less noticeable.

Thus, the trio descended toward the city named ’Shiji City’.

"Who goes there!"

As they neared, a tense voice from the city guards called out.

On the city wall, a middle-aged demon cultivator with one eye appeared among a group of demon cultivators, bravely questioning Liou Yuan and his companions.

The middle-aged man’s cultivation was merely at the Peak of Qi Cultivation, while Liou Yuan and his companions didn’t conceal their Foundation Establishment Realm pressure. Upon approaching Shiji City, it greatly startled the man.

In such a remote place, encountering a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was rare enough; having three at once made him think they might be coming to attack the city.
