Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 425 Attempt (1 and a half hours later)

Seeing Chen Yuan tasting the food, Hu Niu picked up a few pieces of food and put them into her mouth, chewing them while saying:
"I'm afraid it won't be easy. Although I can use the spirit substitution method to enter the ruins that cannot open time, the fluctuations in the space channel are too great anyway."

"It is very difficult to hide this fluctuation for fifteen days without being discovered."

Watching her eat with magic, Chen Yuan unhappily stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of food:

"You eat like this without taste or soul!"

"It has flavor, and I even think it's a little spicy." Hu Niu said with her eyes wide open.

Well, no leisure and elegance at all, a heartless eater.

Chen Yuan complained in his heart, then he quickened his eating speed and said:
"Can your seventh-level painting skills hide the fluctuations in the space channel?"

"It may be possible in the early stage, but after the space channel is completely opened, it should be impossible to conceal it. Don't underestimate the strength of those spiritual consciousnesses who have returned to the void."

"They are all people who can cross boundaries on their own. The fluctuations of the space channel across boundaries are so great that they will definitely not be hidden after they are opened."

As he was speaking, more than half of the ingredients in the pot had already flown into Hu Niu's mouth.

Chen Yuan's face froze slightly, and he simply put down his chopsticks and stopped competing with her for food:
"So the difficulty does not lie in the fifteen days of constructing the space channel, but in the one hour after the space channel is opened?"

"Yes." Hu Niu nodded, exhaled a breath of spicy air and said:
"I can use ink painting to create the appearance of multiple spatial channels opening, but I'm sure it won't be hidden for an hour."

"How long do you think you can keep it secret?"

"It's hard to say. After all, I have never really faced Fanxu head-on."

Huniu has lived alone for many years and has very clear thinking, but she is also very self-aware.

She couldn't make any guarantees about things that were not certain.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's try it first."

"How to try?" Hu Niu glanced sideways, and vaguely felt the same feeling as when she and Chen Yuan and Zhao Kuo entered the secret realm.

······
Around the Great Wilderness Bitter Marsh, the consciousness of the old demon Fanxu always looms over the earth.

While inside the Daluo Zhantian Formation, the Fanxu master of the Zhengtian League was also paying close attention to the situation outside the formation.

Although they were beaten back into the Bitter Swamp by the evil cultivators, they were after all seventh-level painters and Jianmu seedlings.

If there is a chance, I will give it a try no matter how hard it takes.

If they win, it will be an opportunity for the righteous to counterattack the evil.

If they did nothing and let the demons get these two great opportunities, their seventh-level painting skills alone would make it difficult for them to hold on, even if they had the boundary monument.

For this reason, both the good and evil forces investigated day and night, never relaxing for a moment.

One morning three months later, a faint spatial fluctuation was heard from a ruin on the west side of the Great Wilderness Bitter Lake.

Fanxu from both the righteous and evil paths immediately focused their minds to investigate, only to see that the ruins, which had not yet been opened, were now continuously emitting spatial fluctuations.

"Is this...they are going to open a space channel to return to the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

Someone spoke up, and then said in a deep voice:
"No wonder this tiger demon was able to hide under our noses for so many years, it turns out it was hiding in the ruins!"

"The Canghai Ruins haven't been opened yet, but the tiger monster was able to enter. Could it be because of the seventh-level painting skills?"

"Hmph, other than the seventh-level painting skills, is there anything else that can bypass the restrictions of the ruins and enter silently?"

During the brief conversation, a dozen old demons who had reached the Return to Void stage had gathered outside the Canghai Ruins.

Looking at the well-preserved ruins, they glanced at each other, and one of the fat, big-eared men in a red robe said:

"Breaking into the ruins by force will cause them to self-destruct. What do you think?"

"Rather than letting them escape, it's better to take action directly! It's just a relic, so let it be destroyed."

"I think so too. Besides, it has been so many years, and we have explored almost all the ruins in the Canghai area."

"Let's do it."

"Destroy the ruins and force them to show up."

The Fanxu old demons present at the scene all responded, and the Fanxu old demon who arrived later immediately understood what it meant when he heard it, and all nodded slightly.

"In that case, then..."

Just as the fat and big-eared man in red was about to make a decision, another space fluctuation appeared.

This time, the spatial fluctuation occurred in a relic south of the Great Wilderness Bitter Lake.

"These two little bastards are quite cunning."

The fat, big-eared man in a red robe frowned slightly, looked at the people around him and said:

"Everyone, a new place has been added..."

Before he finished speaking, space fluctuations were heard one after another. The fluctuations were all in different ruins, some of which were even within the range of the Daluo Zhantian Formation.

"To open so many space channels at the same time, that person brought so many formation plates with him?"

Some people spoke up, while others snorted coldly:
"In my opinion, these two little thieves are just playing tricks. The array plates used to build space channels are so precious that there can't be so many of them."

"That being said, are you sure that these space channels are all fake?" A man with a feminine face glanced at him.

"you!"

The old man who spoke frowned, but said nothing more.

The old demon Fanxu who was present was silent for a moment, and then the Taoist Xueyang from the Blood Skull Cave said in dissatisfaction:
"Why, you're not going to do it anymore?"

"Xueyang, how do you want to do it?" asked the fat and big-eared man in a red robe.

"Why hesitate? If we destroy all the ruins with space channel fluctuations, we won't be afraid of not being able to find them."

"There are now thirteen ruins emitting spatial fluctuations. Are they all destroyed?" A woman with a face covered with a layer of white frost spoke.

"What? You and I have explored these ruins countless times, and you still feel bad about them?" Xue Yang said with a meaningless look on his face.

As soon as this was said, someone immediately refuted:

"Humph, since we have destroyed so many ruins, can you, Blood Skull Cave, replenish the spiritual materials produced every once in a while for us?"

"Yes, although the heritage of the ruins has been explored, the spiritual materials produced in them are constantly produced. If so many ruins are destroyed at once, the loss will be too great."

After hearing people refute one after another, Xue Yang sneered:
"Is your brain filled with horse urine? Are you looking for me to give you some spiritual materials?"

"I just want to ask you one question. Do you want the spiritual materials from these ruins, or do you want the seventh-level painting skills and Jianmu seedlings?"

Hearing this, the two people who had spoken just now looked slightly gloomy and did not say anything else.

The others also frowned, seeming to be in a dilemma.

Among their respective sects, there are many who need to use spiritual materials from certain ruins for cultivation.

If the ruins are destroyed, the speed of cultivation will definitely slow down in the future.

But compared with the seventh-level painting skills and the Jianmu seedlings, this matter seems insignificant.

Moreover, if they could obtain these two opportunities, what would it have to do with them if their disciples were slow in cultivation?

If they go one step further, they will be able to ascend to the demon world, and even if their sect is destroyed it will have nothing to do with them.

When Xue Yang saw that no one spoke, he sneered and said, "Since you have figured it out, then let's do it!"

After saying that, he took the lead in attacking. The skull wrapped around his waist glowed with blood, spinning like a rosary and smashing into the restriction of the Canghai ruins.

"boom!"

The forbidden light of the Canghai ruins flickered, and the laws that had been stable for countless years began to collapse.

Seeing Xue Yang taking action, the other demon cultivators no longer hesitated and moved towards the ruins where the space fluctuations were coming from.

More than a dozen Return to the Void attacked at the same time, immediately causing the heaven and earth around the Great Wilderness Bitter Marsh to become turbulent.

In particular, the violent attack on the ruins caused the collapse of the Dao rules, which led to many strange phenomena emerging.

Fanxu of the Zhengtian Alliance who was in the Daluo Zhantian Formation looked worried, but there was nothing he could do.

They have been hiding here for many years and attach great importance to the spiritual materials produced by these ruins.

When the ruins of the past are opened, they can enter together and collect some spiritual materials.

As long as they don't take too much, the demons who are busy collecting spiritual materials will not chase them down desperately.

But now that the ruins have been destroyed, there will be less spiritual materials produced in the future, and the cultivation speed of the disciples of the Zhengtian League will only be slower.

If this continues for a long time, the Zhengtian Alliance will only become weaker and weaker, with no chance of recovery.

Just as they were thinking this, three demonic figures appeared out of nowhere outside the Daluo Zhantian Formation.

The leader was Xue Yang, who destroyed the Canghai Ruins. He looked at Fan Xu of the Zhengtian League in an arrogant tone:

"Destroy the remains of the space channel being constructed in the formation, otherwise your Zhengtian League will be destroyed today."

"wishful thinking!"

"If you are not afraid of death, then come in and see if the boundary stone in my hand can still kill you!"

"You destroyed these relics, which is a waste of natural resources. You are the sinners of the Floating Light Realm!"

Fanxu of the Zhengtian League spoke out in unison, expressing their deep hatred for the demonic sect for destroying so many relics.

"Nonsense! If I can obtain the seventh-level painting skills and ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm, I won't care if the Floating Light Realm is flooded or not."

Xue Yang sneered disdainfully, and then his face darkened:
"I'm not telling you, I'm ordering you. If you don't do as I say, hey."

He didn't finish his words because other old demons who had returned to the void had already destroyed the ruins and were rushing over.

In a blink of an eye, the number had exceeded fifty, and they really seemed to be about to attack the Daluo Zhantian Formation.

Upon seeing this, Fanxu of the Zhengtian League's expression became even uglier, and they communicated with each other in secret.

After a moment, the old man holding the boundary stone said sternly:
"You destroyed so many ruins, but still failed to find those two people from the Earthly Immortal Realm. Have you ever thought that these spatial passages are all fake?"

"So what if it's fake? It's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Isn't that the same for you?"

Xue Yang sneered, and then there was a hint of impatience in his voice:
"There are so many of us here, old Tianji, don't waste any more time and go and destroy the ruins quickly, otherwise we will attack!"

Taoist Tianji gritted his teeth, discussed with his fellow Taoists from the Zhengtian League for a few words, and finally waved his hand and threw out a Vajra Cutter.

The carving disappeared as soon as it left his hand, but the ruins in the Daluo Zhantian Formation made a rumbling sound and the Dao collapsed.

Many old demons who had returned to the void also attacked at the same time, causing the Daluo Zhantian Formation to shake violently.

Taoist Tianji saw this and said angrily: "You!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual consciousness of many old demons who had returned to the void squeezed in from the cracks in the Daluo Zhantian Formation, staring at the collapsed ruins.

However, the ruins collapsed, and there was no sign of human presence.

Upon seeing this, these old demons who had returned to the void frowned, withdrew their spiritual sense, stopped and left.

Xue Yang grinned and looked at Tian Ji Taoist with a frenzied look:

"We are just trying to confirm whether those two are in the ruins. Why are you panicking, old Tianji?"

"Humph."

Taoist Tianji was filled with grief and anger, but he could do nothing about it.

If a real fight breaks out, even the Daluo Zhantian Formation will not be able to withstand the siege of so many Fanxu old demons.

It’s just that these old demons are selfish and no one wants to be the first to die under the boundary monument in their hands, so the Zhengtian Alliance has been able to survive until now.

However, Fan Dang died some time ago, and the already weak Zhengtian League is now even more precarious.

If not every member of the Zhengtian League had the Zhengxin Seal engraved in their soul, Taoist Tianji would even suspect that the fellow Taoists around him had also betrayed them long ago and joined the evil path.

With a long sigh in his heart, he moved away carrying the boundary marker.

The remaining few members of the Zhengtian Alliance looked at each other, and in addition to showing grief and anger, they also had a bit of sorrow on their faces.

Because of what happened to the people in the Earthly Immortal Realm, the demons are becoming more and more ferocious, and they cannot rebel. What should they do in the future?

······
In the secular town closest to the Great Wilderness Bitter Swamp, Chen Yuan and Hu Niu each changed their appearance.

He concealed his aura with the talisman of emptiness and sat in a restaurant drinking and chatting like an ordinary person.

After taking a sip of wine, Hu Niu frowned and said:
"They are really ruthless. All the relics with spatial fluctuations have been destroyed. With such a commotion, I'm afraid that 30% to 40% of the Floating Light Realm's resources will be lost."

Chen Yuan ate the food with a frown on his face. After a long while, he spoke:
"Looking at the way they are acting, even if they continue, they will probably just destroy more ruins. It looks like I have to take action."

"What do you want to do?" Hu Niu looked up and saw Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks and said:
"You find three more ruins and use ink painting to create the fluctuations that open the space channel. Leave the rest to me."

"What are you going to do?" Hu Niu asked again, but Chen Yuan waved his hand and said:

"Modowen, you just need to hide yourself. By the way, do you have any means of long-distance communication?"

Hu Niu frowned, but still took out a scroll and handed it to Chen Yuan, saying:
"Within five hundred miles, this scroll can contact me."

"Okay." Chen Yuan took the scroll:
"Go find the ruins first, and contact me when you are ready. Wait for me to send you a message, and then you can trigger the space fluctuation."

Hu Niu nodded, stood up, walked down the stairs like an ordinary person, walked into the crowd on the street, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yuan did not leave either, and booked a room upstairs in the restaurant to stay there.

I go to the market every day to stroll around, picking up a few small things to buy from time to time, like a traveling merchant buying goods.

After waiting for nearly half a month, the painting that Hu Niu gave him finally shook him.

When he opened the scroll, he saw Hu Niu's face appear on it: "It's ready, and it can cause fluctuations at any time."

"Okay, wait for my news."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands together and disappeared silently in the room.

Inside the tallest corner tower in the city, a disciple from the Xianpi Temple who was in charge of the place had just peeled off a human skin and refined it into his own body.

His facial features and body shape moved, and he looked like a skinned person. He twisted his neck, squinted his eyes, frowned, and said:
"No matter how many human skins I refine, it's still disgusting. I don't know when I can refine immortal skin."

As he was talking to himself, his right eyelid twitched, and then he felt something sharp pressing against his dantian, and a cold voice came from behind him.

"Where are the nearest ruins?"
