The flames of the burning sky gradually faded away, Ah Huet hid in the dark clouds and quickly left Qili Valley.

  Half a time later, when he was sure that there would be no foreigners following him, he slowly descended from the clouds and returned to the ground, landing in a mountain valley.

  At this moment, the Li and Miao tribes can be said to have suffered a double defeat, but Ahetai doesn't seem to be in a hurry to find the remaining Li tribe people. He carefully examines the black staff in his hand, a mysterious witchcraft power is lurking in the black staff, causing the hot blood in this Li person's body to gradually surge back.

  He could even imagine himself holding the black jade scepter, commanding the southern border in the future. The great wizard of yesterday would be himself tomorrow. As for the panicked tribesmen at this moment, there was no need to worry too much. Let the tribal chief go and avenge himself, otherwise, with his rough personality, he might still be an obstacle to mastering the Li tribe.

  A Hetai smiled coldly, tightly grasping the black jade staff to his chest. At this moment, he had nothing to fear. Not even the demon king who had given him power was taken seriously by him. Although at this moment he knew he was still far from being a match for that demon king, he and the great wizard both knew the origins and circumstances of that mysterious demon king. Without gathering the five holy artifacts of the five tribes of Nanjiang, that demon king would never be able to revive and rebirth from the "Demon-Suppressing Cave" in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

  Just thinking that even the terrifying Demon King who made all of Nanjiang tremble with fear was being manipulated by him, Ah Hua Tai couldn't help but feel excited, and he couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, bursting into loud guffaws.

  The sound echoes in the night sky, echoes in the valley.

  "Hahaha... Hahahaha..."

  Just as he was laughing heartily, a faint applause suddenly came from the darkness on the other side of the valley, and a low, mysterious voice said: "Great, great!"

  Ahu Tai's body shook and he quickly turned around to look, but only saw a piece of darkness, unable to see anything clearly. He shouted loudly: "Who is it? Come out!"

  In the darkness, two scarlet flames suddenly burst forth, as large as a dipper. Immediately afterwards, a low, panting sound was heard, like the growling of a giant beast, echoing through the darkness.

  AheTai's face changed greatly.

  Those two clusters of scarlet flames did not move, but simply stared at A Huetai in the darkness. Instead, a black-clad figure slowly emerged from the darkness in front of the scarlet flames.

  Only to see this person almost like flowing out from the darkness, his whole body from head to toe was shrouded in black clothes, only exposing two eyes, empty and frightening. And seeing his stiff body, he didn't walk out, but instead floated out of thin air, two feet off the ground.

  AheTai's pupils shrank, and his face was even more tense, as if he had seen an evil spirit.

  "That black-robed man slowly said: 'A Hetai, you indeed did not disappoint the Beast God's expectations, and have seized all of the Bone Jade and Black Staff.'"

  Ahetu subconsciously tightened his grip on the black jade staff, and this movement was seen by the man in black. Behind him, the two clusters of darkness where the red fire was located seemed to let out another angry roar.

  The man in black slightly raised his hand, and the strange object behind him calmed down a bit. Then he slowly said: "Ahe Tai, looking at you, it seems that you don't want to keep your promise to the Beast God, and give us these two sacred artifacts!"

  Ahu Tai's face changed color, and his expression was uncertain, obviously the "beast god" in his heart was also a terrifying existence, but after several inner struggles, greed finally took over.

  "Pfft!" Ah Huai Tai revealed a vicious expression, coldly laughing: "I now have the Black Staff and Bone Jade, these are the sacred artifacts that originally beat the beast demons to the point of near death. If you're not afraid of dying, then come try it out!"

  The man in black fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly: "So that's how it is. You really are going to betray Lord Beast God."

  A Hetai raised his black jade staff, and suddenly felt the witch's power surging within him. He had an overwhelming feeling that he could control everything in the world. Uncontrollably, he burst into laughter: "What does it matter? You think I don't know that without the five sacred artifacts of the Southern Barbarian tribes gathered together, the beast demons can't be revived in the Demon-Suppressing Cave. Without him, even if you have that evil dragon behind you, what can you do against my sacred artifact? Hahahahaha..."

  …”

  The two clusters of scarlet flames behind the black-clad man emitted a low, rumbling growl, clearly indicative of extreme anger. However, the black-clad man remained calm and composed, his gaze fixed coldly on Ah Hua Tai as he spoke: "Don't forget, this Five Tribes' Sacred Artifact - what's its true origin? You Southern Barbarians can at most wield only thirty percent of its magical power. If that weren't the case, even if you had received the Beast God's teachings, how could you have possibly seized it from that old, undying great shaman of the Miao Tribe?" His voice gradually sank lower, his words dripping with icy coldness: "I'm warning you for the last time - don't go against the Beast God!"

  Ahetu's heart suddenly felt a strange sensation, and he even felt his body slightly trembling. But after a moment, he once again gripped the black jade staff tightly.

  "Go to hell!" He stared wide-eyed, swung his black staff, and in an instant a black flame burst out of the staff, rushing towards the man in black. Everything it passed was scorched black.

  The man in black let out a cold hum, and without any movement, the black flames were suddenly blocked by an invisible force three feet in front of him. But looking at Ah Hua's expression, he didn't show any surprise, apparently what just happened was just his test.

  On the contrary, after this blow just now, he has confirmed his long-held speculation in his heart. It turns out that these sacred artifacts of Bone Jade Black Staff can indeed bring out his witchcraft tenfold. If it were normal, he would have to work hard for half a day to cast such a black flame, but now it's done with just one swing.

  At this point, Ah Huai was even more triumphant, how could he still put the black-clothed man in front of him in his eyes, and burst out laughing again.

  The man in black looked at A Hetai's arrogant appearance, but didn't show any anger, and calmly said: "The Beast God is indeed all-knowing, knowing that you have a treacherous heart, once you get what you want, you will definitely betray."

  "AheTai sneered: 'What's the big deal? In the Town Demon Cave, from beast demons and below, there are indeed countless powerful demon ghosts with high witchcraft. But apart from you, this witch demon, who else can come out? Now, relying on your weak Taoism, do you still think you can snatch the holy artifact from my hands?'"

  The man in black looked at Ahe's crazy face and suddenly let out a sneer, without saying much, he reached into his pocket and pulled out an object.

  As soon as this thing leaves the witch's arms, it immediately emits a faint glow. From a distance, it is a bead that flickers with black light. In this dark night, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see clearly.

  Ahe Tai looked at the pearl for a few moments, and couldn't help but feel a bit tense. Although he didn't show fear towards this mysterious black-robed man, Wu Yao's powers weren't particularly strong, yet he had always been one of the most important assistants to the Beast King, and no one knew what kind of mysterious and unusual techniques he possessed.

  Just as he was secretly thinking about whether to attack immediately and not let the black-clothed man make any more strange moves, the black-clothed man clapped his palms together and made an even stranger gesture.

  He clenched his palm, and with a crisp crackling sound, he actually pinched the black bead to pieces. A moment later, the fragments fell from his palm like sand.

  AheTai was startled by his movement, concentrated and prepared, witchcraft poison technique, he had also heard before. But the mountain wind blew over, those debris scattered with the wind, and the direction of the wind was completely opposite to him, he waited for a while, but nothing happened.

  AheTai burst out laughing and said: "What kind of trick are you trying to play? No matter what you do, how can you possibly deal with me?"

  His voice suddenly stopped abruptly, as if something was stuck in his throat.

  Almost at the same time, suddenly, a flame lit up in the dark night, illuminating the surroundings, and it was very bright. And the source of this flame was actually shot out from Ahetai's body.

  In an instant, only the sound of "puff puff puff..." was heard, and Ah Hua's body suddenly ejected more than a dozen rays of light from inside out. At a glance, it seemed as if his body had been opened up with more than a dozen holes at the same time, both comical and terrifying.

  Ahetu couldn't utter another word, his mouth agape as he slowly lifted his head, a look of terror and incredulity on his face.

  The man in black floated indifferently before him, slowly saying: "Lord Beast God had long expected you to be unreliable. When he first passed the Black Fire onto you, he intentionally left behind this 'Black Fire Pearl'. As long as this Black Fire Pearl is destroyed, the power of the Black Fire will inevitably backlash against its master, causing you to die under the power of the law that Lord Beast God has given you!"

  Ahetai's eyes were filled with fear and regret, his mouth wide open, but only a hoarse gasp came out. A moment later, "Puff puff puff" muffled sounds continued to emerge, and a black flame burst forth from his body, engulfing his entire figure in a fierce blaze.

  In a short while, this ambitious man had turned into ashes.

  Only the black jade staff remained, still quietly lying in the ashes.

  A man in black floated over, stretched out his hand and beckoned, the Bone Jade Cane was sucked into his hand, he sneered and was about to leave when he suddenly turned his head, looking towards the dark side of the valley, saying in a low voice: "Who is it?"

  In the darkness, after a long silence, a figure slowly emerged, dressed in gray with white whiskers, his face etched with wrinkles, and it was none other than Shangguan Ce of Fengxiang Valley.

  At this moment, he gazed at the black-robed man, then looked at the two clusters of fiery red flames filled with hostility behind him, and finally his eyes fell on the bone-black staff in the black-robed man's hand.

  He suddenly looked like he had aged thirty years.

  The man in black obviously didn't expect to meet Shangguan Ce here, and judging from his appearance, he was actually an old acquaintance of Shangguan Ce. The man in black fell silent for a moment after the initial shock, before slowly saying: "It's been eighty years since we last saw each other, old friend?"

  " 'You,' he said slowly, word by word, 'finally couldn't bear to stay hidden anymore?' The deep wrinkles on Shangguan Ce's face seemed as if they were carved with a knife."

  The man in black's clothes fluttered in the night wind, but his figure remained motionless in mid-air, just like his voice, which said leisurely: "Beast God, I've been waiting for a long time and I'm getting impatient."

  Shangguan Ce said slowly: "At first, I and Yun Yiluan Cloud Master Brother both said in front of Beast Demon Lord..."

  The man in black suddenly blocked his way: "What your Master Gu said, do you believe it yourself?"

  Shangguan Ce suddenly stopped talking.

  The man in black smiled faintly and said, "Old friend, you and I have our own paths to follow. The future is fraught with danger, take good care of yourself!"

  After saying that, he put the black stick in his hand into his bosom and retreated backwards. In a twinkling of an eye, he disappeared into the darkness.

  Shangguan Ce's eyes twitched, his body moved slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but in the darkness opposite him, those two clusters of scarlet flames suddenly intensified, and the roar grew louder.

  "The voice of the man in black, came from afar in the darkness: 'Old friend, your skills are profound and far surpass mine. But I have the evil dragon, plus the Black Stick Bone Jade, you can't stop me! We've had many years of friendship, so let's leave some face for each other!'"

  Shangguan Ce's body stiffened suddenly. A moment later, the two clusters of scarlet flames also gradually disappeared in the darkness.

  Between heaven and earth, only he stood alone in the desolate mountain valley. After a while, his long sigh echoed out.

  The night grew darker.

  In the depths of Qili Valley, what was once a thriving and beautiful land is now engulfed in a sea of flames, with wails of sorrow echoing everywhere. The Miao tribe's revered shaman, who was thought to be as powerful as a god, lies gravely injured, his life hanging in the balance. Ahetai, the hope of the Li tribe, has vanished into thin air. Meanwhile, Qili Valley is suddenly swarming with outsiders, among whom appears a figure as malevolent as an evil spirit.

  Under these circumstances, both the Li and Miao tribes had no intention of fighting. The Li tribe gradually withdrew from Qīlǐ Dòng, while the Miao tribe was not interested in pursuing them, and instead focused on rescuing their wounded family members. Meanwhile, countless people gazed at those outsiders still in Qīlǐ Dòng with hostile eyes.

  But those people's attention was never focused on the Miao people around them. In their eyes, there were only the red and blue rays of light that were fighting in mid-air at this moment.

  In the land of Zhongtu, two paths of magic coexist. A new generation of outstanding young cultivators, in this strange and unfamiliar valley, vaguely has a desolate place, where they engage in a life-and-death struggle with each other.

  Lu Xueqi's Tianyue Blue Light grew more and more prosperous, covering the sky and earth, rushing forward with a howling sound, as if her slender hand was waving, the heavens were turning, the earth was moving, the wind was fierce, the ghosts were frightened, and there was an unstoppable power.

  Under her sword light, a resolute and haggard face was faintly visible, without any expression, and with each move of her hand, there was no mercy at all.

  Sword winds sound, piercing through the air, covering heaven and earth, wildly surging from all sides and disappearing.

  The fierce ghost laughed maniacally, galloping and flying through the sword rain, the Blood Devouring Bead seemed to have a spirit of its own, excitedly shining with a crimson light that pierced through the heavens, like an evil spirit wailing in the sky, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws as it fought.

  That sword was like frost and snow, floating down, someone let out a long sigh, defying heaven and rising up.

  Tian Yuexue's Blood

  Bloodthirsty Tianya!

  After the ruthless and unpredictable magic treasure that changed the winds and clouds, what kind of gaze followed?

  Lu Xueqi didn't know that the layered, billowing, and surging crimson light, like a tidal wave or a giant wave, like a ghostly wail or a demon's howl, was rushing towards her, its evil and malevolent energy causing almost all of her vital energy to be drained out.

  The sky was like snow, transformed into a giant heavenly sword, and with a loud crash, it cut down the mountain-like red light, splitting it in two. The massive demonic energy rebounded, and Lu Xueqi's white clothes fluttered as she was sent flying upwards. Just by looking at her figure, she seemed to be dancing in the wind, wielding her sharp sword, with every movement producing a piercing sound. In an instant, the winds and clouds gathered around her.

  Her beautiful hair was floating and stroking her pale face, which was originally a jade-like complexion.

  Take a deep breath.

  She took seven steps in a row, like an immortal fairy dancing on the clouds. Before she even opened her mouth to chant, the sky was already swirling with wind and clouds, transforming into a vortex that shook violently.

  "The Nine Heavens Mystical Realm transforms into divine thunder! Brilliant heavenly might, I'll guide it with my sword!"

  The ancient incantation, once again a mysterious echo in the sky, that white figure reflected in whose eyes, like a dancing lily!

  Ten years of fleeting time, in this foreign land of wind and rain, where the sky and earth change color, and clouds gather, one by one, they appear.

  A gigantic and profound dark whirlpool, rapidly rotating at the horizon, electric sparks darting about, wind howling. Lu Xueqi stood in mid-air, her white clothes fluttering.

  The Qingyunmen's unparalleled technique, "Divine Sword Thunder True Formula", was executed in her hands in such a way that it was truly breathtaking, with an aura of infinite changes and unmatched power. At this moment, even compared to Tian Bu Yi during the battle at Liubo Mountain, she didn't lose out in terms of momentum by a single hair.

  Everyone around was amazed at the right path, but this scene fell into Gui Li's eyes and shook for a moment without being known.

  In the depths of the colorful clouds, under the Tianjue sword, at the moment when the endless blue light burst forth, in Lu Xueqi's figure, there was a faint hint of pale gold, with a sense of solemnity and also a hint of eeriness.

  This is not the Taoist doctrine of Qingyunmen!

  The fierce wind grew more urgent, the thought flashed through Gui Li's mind, what was left in his eyes at the bottom of his heart, behind his wild laughter?

  A cold gaze from the sky looks down, behind the red mang, that one unruly and evil figure.

  Lu Xueqi's bright eyes were like frost, and with a long whistle, the thunderous electric sparks burst forth in unison, spreading far and wide, as if tearing apart heaven and earth.

  In the depths of the clouds, countless electric lights gathered rapidly, and the thunderous roar continued to explode in the sky. In an instant, a massive electric light converged from the dark vortex and struck down on the Tian Jue Divine Sword.

  That dazzling light was as if it were in her hands.

  "Good swordsmanship!"

  The ghost let out a loud and mournful laugh, its voice piercing the air, echoing through the red millet, like a heart-wrenching scream.

  That lofty white figure, with an otherworldly elegance, is ultimately so high as to be unattainable...

  …

  The Blood Bead burst forth with endless radiance, at this moment, the three colors of red, green and black were all manipulated by the evil spirit's eerie power to the extreme, emitting a chilling aura that pierced through the sky, making one's hair stand on end.

  Lu Xueqi's face turned even colder, and the last hint of hesitation in her eyes finally disappeared.

  Electric sparks fly everywhere, gods and Buddhas fill the sky, singing together!

  In the distance, someone suddenly shouted.

  His whole attention was focused on the sky, waiting for that unparalleled magical technique to appear. Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded from behind him, and he was startled in his heart. In an instant, he swiftly moved his body, and with a "pu" sound, a flat-edged jade ruler appeared, like an indestructible divine soldier, piercing straight out from his right shoulder.

  The ghost let out a loud roar and suddenly turned its head around, only to see Li Xun holding a jade ruler in his hand with an angry expression on his face.

  "Ah..."

  He looked up at the sky and let out a long howl, the Blood Demon Rod brought endless crimson light, and in an instant it chopped down, Li Xun's eyes narrowed, but there was no hint of fear, his right hand exerted force, "Hsss..." as he pulled out the Jade Ruler, bringing with it a gushing fountain of fresh blood.

  Hong Mang smashed down, Li Xun exerted his strength to resist, and the Burning Valley's Dao technique was indeed not ordinary. Adding to that, Gui Lie was heavily injured, Hong Mang was unstable, but in this close distance situation, he was still blocked by Li Xun.

  It turned out that the Blood Devouring Bead was an extremely ominous object, and it was also a blood-refined evil treasure connected to the Ghostly Bloodline. In an instant, endless evil energy attacked from the Jade Ruler, and Li Xun's right hand grasping the Jade Ruler withered at a visible speed under such an unbelievable ghostly power.

  Li Kun was greatly frightened, and with a strenuous effort he struggled free, but the ghost was now nearly frantic, and with a swift movement it stretched out its hand and grasped him, its five fingers turning into claws which gripped his right hand tightly.

  Li Kun felt a sharp pain and even broke out in cold sweat. At the critical moment, a low Buddhist chant came from beside him, accompanied by a sigh.

  A gentle golden light surged forth, majestic and auspicious, it was indeed the "Mahavairocana" of Tianyin Temple!

  The Buddhist monk's mysterious technique countered the Blood-Drinking Bead's evil power, and the bead's unparalleled ferocity was pushed back a foot.

  Taking advantage of this moment, Fashang quickly pulled Li Xun back and retreated, but in his eyes, there was a look of compassion and helplessness, staring at the figure of the man swaying in the wind.

  A massive bolt of white lightning from the sky struck Gui Li with unparalleled power and precision!
