Chapter Thirty-One: Offering Earnest Devotion
Underground Demon Lair
At first when I rushed in, it felt pitch black, but after a moment, this underground demon lair wasn't entirely pitch black either.
Only saw a cluster of children's high and low grass, densely growing into a piece, emitting a little fluorescence.
Yan Ziyun sat on Gu Xing's body, pointing at those fluorescent lights and smiled faintly:
"These are fluorescent grasses. With our current eyesight, through these fluorescences, it's no problem to see the situation within dozens of meters around."
Xuanyuan looked at this underground demon lair, feeling as if he had entered a new world. The hard black rocks and soil mixed together on the ground, with small streams and low hills of rock. Countless varieties of demonic plants grew densely, their leaves seeming to gaze out from behind which shone bloody lights, casting an eerie and terrifying atmosphere over Xuanyuan and his party.
"There are many demonic creatures in this demon cave, so be careful. These demonic creatures are not as intelligent as the beast tribe, they only know how to slaughter and massacre. However, if you encounter zombies, Asura, Yaksha, ghost spirits, or human demons from the demon tribe, you must be extremely cautious. They have slowly developed a sense of consciousness, although it's not high, but this is a good opportunity to temper one's will."
Yanzhi Yun explained a lot, one by one, to Xuan Yuan. Xuan Yuan listened with great interest and felt that he didn't know much about this world, not as real as experiencing it himself.
However, just as Yan Ziyun was speaking, a series of sounds rang out one after another, and several Blood Moon Horses that were originally galloping wildly fell to the ground one by one.
Xuanyuan suddenly felt something was off and hastily said:
"This is bad, it's demonic energy, ordinary creatures can't withstand it!"
The Blood Moon Horse is just a slightly better breed of horse, and in this place, it can't even survive.
As they spoke, Xuan Yuan took out the 'Hundred Herb Detoxification Pill' and poured them all out. He took one himself, Yan Zi Yun took one, and Gu Xing took one.
After taking 'Baicao Jiudu Dan', the fatigue that had appeared on Gu Xing's face immediately disappeared, replaced by an even more vigorous and majestic aura.
"'Baicao Jiudu Dan' not only has the effect of detoxification, but also has the effect of warding off evil spirits. Many herbs grow in the underground demonic caves, and the evil spirits are still nutrients for them."
Behind Xuan Yuan, Shi Cong Yu, Liu Piao Xu and others who followed Yan Zi Yun also took out the antidote from their bodies and swallowed it.
At this moment, endless demonic beasts rushed out from all sides.
Wolf, leopard, tiger, lion, bear, snake, monkey and even a large rooster, its beak was extremely hard, flapped its wings a few times, flew over a hundred meters in an instant, made a sudden thrust, pecked with its beak, and directly pierced through the heart of a Moon Flower Gate disciple.
"It's a demonic creature, counterattack!" Almost in this instant, countless true disciples showed their power, only to see the sky filled with splendor, rushing to the sky, various divine methods were launched, and large swaths of demonic creatures were harvested, falling one after another into the bloody puddles.
Xuanyuan handed over the 'Moon Wheel' he had obtained from Ding Han's body to Yan Ziyun, saying:
"Sister, this moon wheel is for you."
After finishing speaking, Xuan Yuan held a mysterious dagger and jumped down from Gu Xing's body. He stepped on the "Xiangyun Boots" and felt extremely light all over his body, as if he could jump out of tens of meters high and land lightly like a feather. He slaughtered several magic chickens that were crying in the sky, and Xuan Yuan sighed:
"This is really freaking awesome!"
Xuanyuan's mysterious dagger was extremely sharp, and wherever it passed, the essence of countless demonic creatures was swallowed up.
This war with the demon tribe was triggered instantly, coming quickly and going quickly. After Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, Yu Can and Yue Teng arrived, the power of the Dou Wang appeared, directly killing the demon tribe creatures and making them flee in defeat. The divine powers displayed by Dong Xuan and Lü Feng, the two Dou Wangs, left people dazzled.
The internal elixirs of the demonic creatures flew up one by one and were collected by Dong Xuan and Lü Feng. In that instant explosion, there were at least 3,000 demonic creatures, and as for the internal elixirs, except for a few true transmission disciples who obtained them, only about 25 were obtained by Dong Xuan and Lü Feng.
Every single demonic creature is at least a Dou Shi level, and these internal elixirs can also be sold for nearly 100,000 Dou Shi coins.
Dong Xuan and Lü Feng arrived in front of Xuan Yuan, their faces full of smiles as they said:
"Junior brother Xuan Yuan, we have offended you just now. This small amount of inner elixir is not enough to show our respect, I hope you won't take it to heart. In the future when entering 'Doulou Xianfu', please do look out for us."
"Second Brother, you're wrong to say that. Xuan Yuan has already become a disciple of the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion', so how can you still call him Second Brother? It should be Young Master Xuan Yuan instead. After all, Young Master Xuan Yuan was once under the name of Yue Hua Men. I hope Young Master Xuan Yuan will take good care of us in the future." Dong Xuan said with a smile, and then handed over 25 inner elixirs of demonic creatures directly to Xuan Yuan's hands, saying solemnly:
"Xuanyuan Gongzi, please be at ease. This time we will escort you safely and won't let you suffer even the slightest harm."
Xuanyuan smiled and said brightly:
"Hey! What are you two talking about? How could I possibly care about such a small matter? Am I, Xuan Yuan, that petty of a person?"
Although he said so, Xuan Yuan still didn't hesitate to throw the twenty-five inner elixirs into his own ring, and the meat on the mosquito's leg was also meat, so Xuan Yuan naturally wouldn't be polite.
"You good-for-nothing, don't you dare come over here and apologize to Lord Xuan Yuan! See how magnanimous he is? You should learn from him!" As soon as Xuan Yuan agreed, Dong Xuan suddenly shouted loudly, looking at Yue Can and Yue Teng.
Yuè Cán and Yuè Téng walked up, their faces swollen like steamed buns. They smiled, fawning and ugly, as they handed a large bag of coins to Xuányuǎn.
"Xuanyuan, my junior brother, here are three thousand blocks of Douling coins. Consider this as my apology for not showing you the respect you deserved in the past. I hope you can be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones, rather than holding it against me."
Yueteng also had a flattering smile on his face, took out a large bag of coins and stuffed it into Xuan Yuan's hand, saying:
"Xuanyuan, I also have 2,000 Dou Ling coins here. It was indeed a sudden move at the Moon Desolate City that day, and I hope you won't take it to heart."
Xuanyuan's face was filled with a smile, and he said with great satisfaction:
"Alright, I'll let it go this time since you're all sincerely admitting your mistakes. To be honest, I've been a bit short on cash lately and this money isn't enough to use."
Upon hearing Xuan Yuan's words, Yue Can and Yue Teng's facial muscles twitched violently, as if they couldn't wait to strangle him to death. However, they still forced a smile and said:
"That's it, we have another one here, taken by Xuan Yuan."
Yuè Cán and Yuè Téng together took out a total of 5,000 Dou Ling coins and gave them to Xuányuǎn. Both of their hearts were bleeding, and they felt like dying from the pain.
Xuanyuan directly accepted it. 10,000 Dou Ling coins were equivalent to 100,000 Dou Shi coins. He had obtained a top-quality ghost equipment.
As for Dong Xuan and Lv Feng and Xuan Yuan, since they didn't have a direct confrontation, there was no reason to search them.
Under the gaze of countless people, the true disciples of the Moon Flower Gate, including the eldest senior brother and second senior brother, as well as the 88th ranked Moon Remnant senior brother, apologized to Xuan Yuan, which was equivalent to losing face for them. However, after some thought, they let it go. Who would dare to offend Xuan Yuan with someone like Feng Lie behind him? In the future, they could still enter the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' to cultivate and their prospects were naturally boundless.
Everyone is relieved, fortunately, no one has offended Xuan Yuan.
"Alright, let's just forget about what happened before. Now that we're all working together to defeat the Demon Clan, it's time to make some real achievements." Xuan Yuan waved his hand dismissively and jumped onto Gu Xing's back, wrapping one arm around Yan Ziyun's slender waist as he laughed loudly: "Let's go! On to the second layer of the Hong Ri Demon Cave!"
Yan Ziyun's waist trembled, and a red glow appeared on her face. She didn't think that Xuan Yuan, at such a young age, would really have thoughts about her?
Xuanyuan Zhide was just being carefree and content, it was an unintentional action.
The inner disciples of Yuehua Gate's team went to the second floor of Hongri Cave in a mighty and majestic manner.
