Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The Corpse King took longer to wake up than both the Black Devil and the woman in red. He had been studying how to leave the Demon Refining Tower.

Finally, the Corpse King discovered that the seal of the Demon Refining Tower was divided into two parts, one was the outer seal and the other was the inner seal.

"The seal outside the boundary is carved on the outside of the Demon Refining Tower by the strong men of Tianshui Sect. The seal within the boundary refers to the sealing formation in the Demon Refining City!"

"And if you want to leave the Demon Refining Tower, you must either destroy the formation in the Demon Refining City. Or you must possess the identity token of a disciple of the Tianshui Sect, so that you can travel unimpeded!"

The Corpse King told the woman in red all the information he had obtained through his investigation, hoping that the woman in red could figure out a way to take them away from this place.

"I wonder if there is any good way for the Holy Ancestor to leave the Demon Refining Tower?" Black Devil and Corpse King both looked at the woman in red with expectant eyes and asked.

"Holy Ancestor, is it necessary to attack the Demon Refining City?" Black Demon asked: "There are not many strong people in the Demon Refining City right now. The Corpse King and I have accumulated a lot of information over the years. If all the information is revealed, it will not be there." We can’t capture the Demon Refining City!”

"Haha." After hearing this, the woman in red covered her mouth and laughed mockingly.

The Corpse King and the Black Demon were confused and looked at each other, neither of them understanding why the woman in red laughed.

The woman in red said: "So what if we capture the Demon Refining City?"

The Corpse King and the Black Demon were stunned for a moment, then returned: "We can go out now."

The woman in red asked: "What happens after we get out? Outside the Demon Refining Tower is the territory of the Tianshui Sect. Now there are only three of us who are powerful in the Nine Nether Demon Palace in the Demon Refining Tower!"

"Even if we fight our way out of the Demon Refining Tower, Tianshui Sect can still stop us from the outside world. We still can't escape!"

"Haven't you ever thought about such a simple truth?"

The Corpse King nodded silently, which was why he was reluctant to take action against Demon Refining City.

The Black Demon huddled on the Thousand Islands of Death and has not taken any action, mainly because there is a big gap between the Black Demon's cultivation strength and the Corpse King.

Even if the black devil mobilizes all the puppets on the Thousand Islands of Death, he still won't be able to capture the Demon Refining City.

But the Corpse King has this strength.

Over the years, the Corpse King has refined many powerful puppets in the Ten Thousand Demons Corpse Cave, such as bronze corpses that are comparable to the Taiyi Daoguo realm. There are more than a dozen in the Ten Thousand Demons Corpse Cave.

On the Thousand Islands of Death, the Black Demon has only one puppet that is comparable to the realm of Taiyi Daoguo, and that is the turtle dragging the turtle on the Sea Beast Island. The overall strength of the Black Demon is much weaker than that of the Corpse King.

If the Corpse King was cruel, he would be able to capture Demon Refining City.

But the Corpse King is also very smart. He knows that capturing the Demon Refining City and rushing out of the Demon Refining Tower is not the first priority. The most important thing is... how to escape from the Tianshui Sect after leaving the Demon Refining Tower.

Even if the Corpse King knew that Tianshui Sect was in a state of decline, the dead camels were bigger than horses. No matter how bad the Tianshui Sect was, there would still be one or two strong men from the Daluo Daoguo realm sitting in charge.

Once you rush out of the Demon Refining Tower rashly, you will most likely be killed directly by a strong man from the Daluo Daoguo realm of the Tianshui Sect.

"Does the Holy Ancestor have any other better ways?" The Corpse King tentatively asked the woman in red.

The woman in red smiled mysteriously and said: "It's just a sealing circle. Are you going to make such a big move? You can escape with a very small method!"

The Corpse King and the Black Demon looked at each other with excited expressions.

"Please also ask the Holy Ancestor to take me out. From now on, we and I will do our best for the Holy Ancestor!" The Corpse King and the Black Demon immediately knelt down on the ground and swore allegiance to the woman in red.

"It's not a rush. Just be quiet for a while first, don't make the grass and trees swarm, and let the Tianshui Sect be on guard." The woman in red said calmly: "We have to leave quietly, so that we can leave the Tianshui Sect safely!"

"I understand, and I will obey the order of the Holy Ancestor!" The Corpse King and the Black Demon both agreed. When they heard that there was a chance to go out, they were very excited.

…

Lin Bai and others were waiting in Demon Refining City. Two or three days later, Zheng Yuan returned with serious injuries.

"This old guy, the Corpse King, has improved a lot in his cultivation and strength over the years."

After returning to Yi Zien's residence, Zheng Yuan whispered with a gloomy face. It was obvious that he had suffered a secret loss at the hands of the Corpse King.

"Elder, what's the situation inside Tianzhu Peak?" Yi Zien asked hurriedly.

Zheng Yuan adjusted his breath a little, and replied with a gloomy face: "In Tianzhu Peak, we did not find the woman in red that Lin Bai mentioned, only the Corpse King and the Black Demon are there."

"I struggled with the Corpse King for a while. Later, I judged that Lin Bai and Zhou Xinjun should leave Tianzhu Peak, so I withdrew. I don't know what they will do next."

Zheng Yuan did not bring back much useful news, which made many people in Demon Refining City feel depressed again.

"Then we'll just have to wait and see what happens!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, unable to figure out the actions of the Corpse King and the Black Demon, so he could only cope with the changes by staying the same.

As Yi Zien's summoning order was issued, in just three or four days, all the disciples who had been training in the Demon Refining Tower returned and gathered in the Demon Refining City.

Elder Zheng Yuan came forward to comfort them, and these disciples understood the seriousness of the matter. All the disciples are standing ready in the Demon Refining City, ready to deal with any emergencies that may happen next.

Although there are not many disciples of the Tianshui Sect in the Demon Refining Tower, there are still more than 800 people.

The most frightening thing is...this group of people are all the elites of the Tianshui Sect, and all of them are warriors at the peak level of Taoism who have experienced hundreds of battles.

Eight hundred warriors at the peak of Taoism are not a weak force. When gathered together, they can be compared to a large army.

But.

Just as the disciples of the Tianshui Sect were preparing themselves in the Demon Refining City, the result was not what they expected. The Corpse King and the Black Demon attacked the Demon Refining City.

On the contrary, the behavior of the Corpse King and the Black Demon was very abnormal.

On the seventh day when everyone gathered in the Demon Refining City, the Corpse King led a mighty army of blood corpses to pass through the Demon Refining City and return to the Ten Thousand Demon Corpse Cave, without any setbacks on the way.

At the same time, a disciple reported that he saw Turtle dragging the Sea Beast Island into the Thousand Death Islands, disappearing into the airtight poisonous miasma of the Thousand Death Islands, and disappeared without a trace.

Naturally, these news reached the ears of Lin Bai, Zheng Yuan, Yi Zien, Zhou Xinjun and others immediately.

"The Corpse King has returned to the Ten Thousand Demon Corpse Cave, and the Black Demon has also returned to Sea Beast Island." Zheng Yuan was also confused after hearing the news.

The Corpse King and the Black Demon have made such a big fuss in the Demon Refining Tower during this period, and are they just going to let it go?

So what is their intention to go to Tianzhu Peak?

Why are everyone going back to their homes now?

Until now, they have never seen the woman in red, and they don't even believe that there is a woman in red.

"What exactly do they want to do?" Lin Bai's eyes narrowed, and he did not understand the actions of the Corpse King and the Black Demon.

After everyone stayed in the Demon Refining City for a few more days to ensure that the Corpse King and the Black Demon made no other moves, they gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

The Demon Refining Tower returned to calm again.

"Yi Zi'en, please continue to stay at the Demon Refining Tower. If you have any news, report it to the sect immediately." Zheng Yuan arranged and said: "I will go back to the sect first and inform the senior sect of the news and ask them to make a decision!"

"Lin Bai, Tang Wei, you can go back with me."

Lin Bai frowned and asked: "Elder Li Zai'en has already investigated the death of Senior Brother Mu Huaqing?"

"It's probably not that easy to find out." Zheng Yuan said, "It's just that... the Corpse King and the Black Demon keep trying to catch you. It's no longer safe for you to stay in the Demon Refining Tower!"

"Perhaps, your danger level inside the Demon Refining Tower will be higher than outside!"

"Let's go, let's go back to the sect first."
