Chapter 91: The Devil of Desire

  On the ground, black dust is seen again, which is the remaining ash of the killing energy in the earth fire. Bai Qi has lotus flowers growing under his feet, and this killing energy no longer poses a threat to him.

  The Taoist way is such that if one has the Tao but lacks the technique, even a cultivator of Qi will not live long.

  This time, the path wasn't long, and after a few turns, Bai Qi heard the sound of clanging coming from up ahead.

  Bai Qi saw the light, he extinguished the magic fire, stuck to the wall and moved forward slowly. When he reached the turning point, he could already see a vast open space in front of him, just like the huge deep pit from before. Except that here there were hundreds of stone men, each less than one zhang tall, waving axes and chisels in their hands, carving out the facial features of a stone man over two zhang tall.

  That tall stone man's head, there wasn't a five-line magic eye, just a deep hole.

  Hundreds of stone men turned their heads at the same time, looking towards Bai Qi. Bai Qi almost simultaneously released the Moon Wheel Sword Orb, which jumped and fluttered like a meteor, passing through the hundreds of stone men.

  Better to strike first and gain the upper hand. Bai Qi feared that these stone men also had similar paralyzing skills, and one against hundreds was unlikely to prevail, even if he could, it didn't mean he could protect himself.

  The Moon Wheel Sword Bead, now hidden with the intent of the Executioner's Sword. Every time a sword falls, one of the stone men will fall down. The wounds inflicted by the Moon Wheel Sword Bead reveal a terrifying tearing state.

  That stone man wanted to struggle and climb up, every time he moved, the wound would continue to expand, tearing deeper. Bai Qi stood at the edge of the deep pit, Jian Wan was in the deep pit, moving back and forth. Those stone men reacted after a while, but instead of rushing towards Bai Qi, they screamed and escaped towards another exit.

  A ghostly figure flashed by in mid-air, holding a giant sword in hand, blocking the exit. With one sweep of the sword, several stone statues fell to the ground.

  Those stone men saw they couldn't run away and rushed towards Bai Qi. Bai Qi looked like he was easier to deal with than that ghostly Xi Wangmu.

  Are you afraid of the weak and strong? Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh, thinking that he wasn't very weak himself. These stone men were carving and crafting weapons here, they weren't powerful magical creatures to begin with. Behind Bai Qi was a tunnel, he stood still on the spot, his Seven Star Demon Gun sent the charging stone men flying one by one into mid-air, and when they fell back down, they were completely destroyed.

  Bai Qi realized that these short stone statues posed no threat to him, so he suppressed the urge to use the Zhu Xian Sword and instead used the Liuyang Ben Lei Sword taught by Zi Mei Zhen Ren.

  Those six Yang Bao Lei swords themselves are not weak, but Bai Qi's boundary is insufficient and he cannot kill the stone man with one sword. The Yu Xian sword intent causes huge damage to the stone man, saving Bai Qi a lot of yuanqi consumption.

  Bai Qi now has over a thousand Inverse Scale Crystals and doesn't mind the consumption. These Stone Warriors are used for sword practice, but they're a rare choice.

  At this time, Bai Qi also felt the great benefits of having a strong spiritual power. He was able to operate twenty-four sword pellets at the same time and held the Seven Star Fumo Gun in his hand without feeling any pressure.

  In just a short while, Bai Qi and Gui Shen Jiao had cut down all the hundreds of stone men to the ground.

  Bai Qi looked at the deep pit and saw that there were nearly a thousand giant stone men who had not yet been carved with five facial features, so he simply stored all of these stone men in his Na Jie.

  A demon god emerged from the depths of a deep valley, his face dark and gloomy.

  "My lord, why don't we head back?"

  "What?"

  "This demonic cultivator can control so many demons, at the very least he's a Golden Core strongman. Currently, I can only behead those at the peak of the Golden Core stage. If his cultivation is even higher, we'll all be dead."

  "Jiǎo, are you afraid of death?" Bai Qi looked up at the gigantic ghost god that was five zhang tall.

  "The taste of death... is very sad, but I'm not afraid."

  "That's good, I'm afraid. So protect me well, as long as I don't die, you will live forever." Bai Qi said, holding up his spear and casually choosing a path to walk in.

  Underground tunnels crisscrossed, and at the end of each one was a huge deep pit.

  The demon god returned to the gourd of the demon spirit, hiding inside and concealing all his breath. When he attacked, it was unexpected. Even a false immortal couldn't see anything unusual in the gourd of the demon spirit.

  Bai Qi's heart is now pure and his feet are surrounded by green lotus flowers, emitting a fragrance similar to that of Chinese angelica. There is no longer any evil energy approaching him.

  Bailu Tongzi prayed inside the gourd of the demon spirit: "Master, you can't die......"

  The demon god glared at Beiluo Tongzi with a fierce gaze on the platform of the General's Seal, this guy, spoke in a very depressing tone.

  Bai Qi wanted to hone his Taoist skills in that secret room, where his practice was sufficient, but he didn't face a strong enemy, and it was just empty talk.

  As for that demonic cultivator, Bai Qi had the intention to fight him once. The underground tunnels were complex, but each one was extremely long. With two Jade Clear Divine Thunderbolts, destroying these tunnels wouldn't be a problem. Blocking the enemy for a moment, summoning the Inverse Scale Spear would make that demonic cultivator unlikely to dare pursue.

  After all, it was the Luofu Sect that controlled Fuzeshan. Once something unusual was discovered outside, the Luofu Sect's immortals would rush over immediately.

  Luó Fú discovered that he had come to steal the terrestrial evil spirit vein, and at most would imprison himself, but would eventually let him go. However, if he found out that this demonic cultivator was revived, he would definitely behead him.

  Bai Qi, however, did not notice that the path he chose was changing as he walked forward. The road looked straight at first glance, but in reality, it had already branched out into countless forks. He continued on, walking through the many intersections until he reached the end of the road.

  At the end of the road, a brilliant light shone brightly, and Bai Qi saw a palace.

  The palace, made entirely of jade stone refinement, with flying symbols. In front of the palace, there are ninety-nine levels of jade steps leading directly to the grand hall. Inside the grand hall, dark red flames burn on all four sides, and a woman sits alone in the middle of the precious throne.

  "Ah..."

  The woman let out a long sigh and said: "After waiting for ten thousand years, no one has come. It's not easy to get someone in, but it turns out to be a monster."

  Bai stopped in his tracks and looked up to see that the woman had a pair of dark, bottomless eyes, like an abyss.

  "Isn't the demon bad?" Bai Qi retorted. As soon as he saw the woman, he knew he couldn't escape. The sensations behind him were all cut off, and without even stepping onto the jade steps, he suddenly found himself already inside the grand hall, beneath the woman's throne.

  "It's interesting anyway." The woman stretched out her white fingers and hooked them towards Bai Qi: "Come up."

  Bai Qi's feet moved involuntarily under the blue lotus as it dissipated, and he walked up the stairs. The woman watched Bai Qi approach step by step, a smile spreading across her face.

  "Are you thinking in your heart that I don't dare kill you? If I killed you, the people of Luo Fu would come here and kill me?"

  Her face was expressionless, and this woman was obviously the resurrected demonic cultivator. Her strength was not a fake immortal at all, but at least a mortal realm's Qi Refining Cultivator. That Wang Wei Qingchen was strong, but it was impossible for him to control himself with just one sentence, dispersing his own Green Lotus.

  The woman leaned back, propped her cheek with her hand and muttered to herself.

  "Should I give you a chance? Unfortunately, you're too weak. Even if I don't lift a finger, I can still kill you, extract your soul and make you my slave."

  Bai Qi's expression didn't change upon seeing the white cloth, and the woman found it interesting. She said to Bai Qi, "You can speak now, I'll give you a minute to persuade me to let you go."

  Bai Qi felt he could speak now, his mind racing as he said: "One minute's time?"

  "Not bad. As long as you can convince me, I'll let you off with your life."

  "A moment's time is too much. The little path is green and winding, what is the name of this fairyland?" Bai Qi asked calmly.

  "My name? I can't tell you, if I told you, you'd want to marry me."

  Jian Bai was taken aback, but the woman burst out laughing and said: "You think marrying me is a good thing? I'm someone who's naturally fond of unusual men. When I see one, I just can't help myself and want to marry him. Then when I meet the next one, I'll kill off the previous one so he won't be heartbroken."

  The woman's laughter echoed in the palace, and the flames around her surged wildly. It was only then that Bai Qi realized that the palace was extremely cold. The flames couldn't raise the temperature here by even half a degree.

  Bai Qi thought for a moment and said: "That's indeed impossible to marry, but there must be a title, in order to speak easily."

  "You little demon, you're quite interesting. Hmm, the last time I died, they called me the Desire Devil. My desires are endless, and as long as I like something, I must get my hands on it." The woman's eyes scattered with endless darkness, and Bai Qi felt his yin spirit trembling. He knew that the woman was just teasing him, but if she really took action, he would have no ability to resist.

  "Demon king, I can let you leave from here, no matter what formation is controlling you, I can make it happen."

  Bai Qi's words made the demon pause, and then she smiled sweetly, saying: "This argument has indeed moved me, but do you know that even if you have this ability, the cost of living is too great. If I were to escape from this prison, who knows how many lives would be lost in the world."

  "It's better than me dying."

  That demon king stood up from the throne, walked down the steps, and came to Bai Qi's side. He carefully examined him and said: "You're just a little demon in the Hua Shen period, thinking you can deceive me? What trapped me was the Luofu Xianren using the Di Sha Yin Mai to create the Liu Ding Fu Mo array. In that Di Sha Yin Mai, six gods have already condensed. No matter which direction I go, I will be killed. You're not even comparable to one of my fingers, how can you let me out?"

  "I'm not a Luofu monk, I came here to steal the terrestrial evil yin pulse. The terrestrial evil yin pulse is broken, can't you still leave?"

  "You really have the heart to sacrifice thousands of lives for your own survival?"

  "I won't bear it, so if you go out and cause harm, after I attain immortality, the first one I'll kill is you."

  The demon king didn't get angry, but instead said: "You're so ruthless and heartless, why not become my apprentice? If you cultivate the demonic way's techniques, in about a hundred years or so, you'll be able to attain immortality."

  Bai Qi sank into deep thought, but he was actually considering whether to release the ghostly and fierce energy at this moment, using his powerful sword to slash at the giant sword, and see if it could injure the Desire Devil.

  After some thought, Bai Qi still didn't have the confidence. If he couldn't kill him, then Yuemo might rather continue to be trapped and would kill himself in anger. A demonic cultivator like that only acted on his whims, not caring about reason or logic.
