Chapter 646: The Three Tribes’ Prodigies and the Mastermind
Cang Jue had not expected that he would encounter such an interesting thing when he participated in the Netherworld Palace trial on a whim.
The hatred between the demons and humans is as deep as the sea.
As the son of the Demon Lord, he grew up listening to stories about his father's glorious deeds.
For example, with a wave of his hand, he could kill millions of human beings, collect countless resentments and death energy, and increase his cultivation.
For example, a demon fought alone against more than ten human beings in the Yuanshen realm. Not only did he not lose the upper hand, he also killed several powerful Yuanshen masters of the other side in a row, shocking the entire Tianyuan world.
Because of these reasons, Cang Jue has extremely admired his father since he was a child. He has always wanted to emulate his father and kill human beings like cutting melons and vegetables, and destroy thousands of human beings with a wave of his hand.
However, in the past few hundred years, for some reasons, both sides have maintained a certain restraint, and violent conflicts have rarely broken out.
As a result, Cang Jue has been practicing until now, and apart from the human slaves he raises in his own territory, he has hardly seen other humans.
But those human slaves were nothing more than pigs, dogs, and livestock. No matter how he tortured and killed them, they didn't dare to offer any resistance from beginning to end. It was particularly boring.
Cang Jue has always wanted to see a real human cultivator to see if he has the abilities as rumored.
But his father strictly ordered him not to leave the demon territory, let alone go to the human territory.
Cangjue is still very in awe of his father, the Demon Lord.
So even though he had a rebellious character and was fearless, he still didn't dare to disobey his father's orders and sneak into the human territory.
I originally thought that my wish could only be realized after the next conflict between the demons and humans broke out.
However, he did not expect that when he was bored and on a whim, he participated in the trial of the Nether Palace and actually met a human cultivator.
Thinking that his long-cherished wish was about to come true, Cangjue couldn't help but reveal an excited smile on his face.
"Are you willing to follow me and slaughter all the humans in this space?"
Cang Jue suddenly turned around and spoke softly while looking at the demons kneeling around him.
The surrounding demons were stunned at first, but then they all became excited and shouted loudly, "I am willing to follow Master Cang Jue!"
……
boom!
With a loud bang, the earth shook, and endless repressive force descended upon a group of monsters of various appearances, making them completely unable to move.
Some of the weaker ones were directly pressed to the ground, their bones creaking and almost breaking.
"Are you convinced?"
A tall and sturdy man with big earlobes and an elephant trunk on his face said lightly.
"I accept. We are willing to offer the trial jade talisman. Please show mercy, sir!"
The demons around them, who were suppressed and unable to move, shouted loudly.
At the same time, I was extremely shocked.
They had never imagined that it was just a trial for the outer members of the Nether Palace, but it would actually attract strong men from the Elephant Clan to participate.
This is one of the twelve royal families of the demon clan. And judging from the aura of this strong man from the elephant clan, he has definitely reached the level of the ninth level of the demon pill.
Why would such a powerful person participate in the trial of the Nether Palace?
However, although they were shocked, the demons did not dare to refuse to hand over the trial jade talismans in their hands.
Otherwise, the increasing suppressive force on his body would be enough to crush them into meat paste.
After the man with the elephant trunk accepted dozens of trial jade talismans, he also looked into the distance.
"This time, the Nether Palace's trial actually placed the powerful warriors of the three tribes in the same secret space. What exactly do they want to do?"
The man with the elephant trunk recalled the process of how he obtained the trial jade talisman, and he couldn't help but become alert.
He had accidentally learned about the trials in the Nether Palace, and out of curiosity, he wanted to come in and see for himself.
But now, he intuitively felt something unusual.
I always feel like there is a pair of big hands behind me, controlling something.
After thinking for a while, the man with the elephant trunk couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to give up.
Now that he has entered this secret space, he is in a situation where he can only take one step at a time.
He was confident that with his own strength, it should not be difficult for him to pass this trial.
……
Swish!
A flash of sword light passed by, splitting the earth. The sword mark was bottomless and exuded an extremely sharp aura, which made dozens of cultivators shudder at the sight of it.
"Hand over all the trial jade talismans on your bodies. We are both cultivators of the human race, and I don't want to commit murder in vain."
A young man wearing a star-shaped Taoist robe casually slashed out a flash of sword light and said calmly.
Beside him, a veiled woman with a slim figure and a cool temperament was standing.
If Lu Qing were here, he would be able to recognize that these two people were the Taoist priest of Daoxu Temple and the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace whom he had met in the secret realm of Tianshu Divine Mountain.
Listening to the words of the young man in the starry Taoist robe, he looked at the terrible crack on the ground.
The expressions of the human cultivators changed several times, and finally they had no choice but to hand over the trial jade talisman in their hands.
If they were outside, they might still dare to protest, but the other party might not dare to slaughter their own kind at will because of the existence of the Holy Alliance.
But now they are in the trial space of the Nether Palace.
Here, no matter what happens, the Holy Alliance cannot control it.
Even if the other party really killed them all, the Holy Alliance probably wouldn't intervene.
After collecting the jade talismans of trial handed over by the cultivators, the Taoist of Daoxu Temple handed half of them to the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace.
"Fairy Luo, whoever sees it gets a share. You and I will each have half."
"No need. These trial jade talismans were obtained by you yourself. You don't need to share them with me."
The Saintess of Biluo Palace did not answer, but spoke in a cold tone.
"Fairy Luo is still so reserved." Daoxu Temple's Taoist chuckled. "You and I both came here to participate in the Nether Palace Trial at the Master's command. The fact that we met here proves that we are destined to meet. Why should we be so polite?"
"This Nether Palace trial is obviously unusual." The Saintess of the Azure Palace frowned and said, "They actually put people from the three tribes in this space to test together. What is the Nether Palace's intention?"
More importantly, what was the Master's intention in having her come to participate in this trial?
The Saint of the Biluo Palace knew that her master seemed to have an unusual connection with the Netherworld Palace.
Asking her to come and participate in the trial this time was definitely not to harm her.
But before she knew the purpose of the Nether Palace, she always felt uneasy.
"Fairy Luo, why worry? With our combined strength, passing this trial won't be a problem. Speaking of which, I've been wanting to see for myself what unique qualities these powerful demons and monsters possess. This is an opportunity."
Compared to the worries of the Saint Maiden of the Biluo Palace, the Taoist of Daoxu Temple seemed much more confident.
According to the information given by his master before he set out, only those at the Jindan realm could participate in the trial this time.
In this case, with the strength of him and Luo Xianzi, if the two of them join forces, it would be difficult for anyone in the entire trial space to be their opponent, so why worry too much.
"I always feel that things are not that simple."
The Saint of Biluo Palace still frowned.
"No matter what, we have already come in and there is no way back. Let's complete this trial first. As long as we pass the trial, the purpose of the Nether Palace will surely become clear." Daozi of Daoxu Temple said.
"That's true." The Saint of Biluo Palace nodded slightly.
Now there is really no other way except to pass this trial.
"Since Fairy Luo doesn't want these trial jade talismans, then when you meet the next batch of cultivators, their trial jade talismans will belong to you."
"Don't bother you, I'll do it myself."
"Then I will quietly observe the fairy's heroic appearance..."
The two of them walked further and further away, following the guidance in the trial jade talisman, heading towards the next location where white dots gathered.
Similar things happened in many places in this secret space.
Lu Qing didn't know that for some reason, many geniuses from various races had come together to participate in the trial of the outer members of the Nether Palace.
However, he noticed through the virtual space in the trial jade talisman that white dots in multiple locations in the trial space suddenly gathered together and were constantly moving.
He pondered it for a moment and immediately realized that someone had already started collecting trial jade talismans in large quantities.
And since they were able to collect so many trial jade talismans so quickly, these people must be much stronger than the others around them.
“It’s just a trial to recruit peripheral members, how come so many top-notch experts suddenly appear?
Or is the appeal of becoming a peripheral member of the Nether Palace really that great?"
A hint of doubt arose in Lu Qing's heart.
However, he knew that if he did not take action under the current circumstances, he would fall behind others.
After all, the white dots in the trial jade talisman showed that there were at least thousands of strong people participating in the trial this time.
And now, dozens of people have collected the trial jade talismans around them and are heading to other places.
Besides, he was also interested in the strong ones from the demon clan and the monster clan and wanted to see them for himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing no longer hesitated.
He took a step forward, and a sharp sword intent emanated from his body, suppressing all directions.
In an instant, the people in the Jindan realm around them felt a great chill all over their bodies, as if countless sword energies were pressing against their foreheads. The breath of death arose from the bottom of their hearts, making them stiff and afraid to move.
Even the few powerful late Jindan realm masters who had just finished competing for the trial jade talisman were the same.
Completely shocked by the sword intent emanating from Lu Qing, he looked at him in shock.
"I don't want to say anything more."
Facing the horrified gazes of dozens of Jindan realm cultivators around him, Lu Qing said calmly.
"Hand over all the trial jade talismans in your hands."
Looking at Lu Qing, who was wearing a ghost face mask and a black cloak, they felt the terrifying sword intent on his body that almost tore their souls apart.
Even if there were people in the Jindan realm around who wanted to resist, they could only give up.
There is no way, the strength gap is too big.
The person in front of them was at least a top-notch expert at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, and was completely on a different level from them.
As for uniting? We are all unfamiliar with each other, and no one dares to turn their backs to a stranger.
What if you get stabbed?
In that case, it would be better to just admit defeat.
In the end, all the Jindan realm masters had no choice but to hand over the trial jade talismans in their hands.
Lu Qing didn't hesitate and collected them all.
He counted and found that there were more than thirty Jindan realm powerhouses here, which meant that he had obtained more than thirty trial jade talismans.
This number is not small, but compared to what is shown in the trial jade talisman, it ranks behind more than fifty people.
If he wants to pass the trial, he must go to other places to collect.
Lu Qing did not delay. He turned into a stream of light and flew up, flying towards the other white dots closest to him according to the positions shown in the trial jade talisman.
But before leaving, he still left a message: "I advise you, if you don't want to die, quickly find a place to hide. This trial is not as simple as you think. Don't die without knowing how."
Looking at Lu Qing's leaving figure, the remaining Jindan realm people looked at each other in confusion.
Especially the last words he left behind made them feel terrified.
They originally felt that this Nether Palace trial was a bit weird.
Now that even such an unfathomable and powerful person said this, it was obvious that the other party had noticed something unusual.
Thinking of this, a group of Jindan realm powerhouses immediately began to think about countermeasures.
"It finally begins."
Just as Lu Qing was flying towards the other white dots closest to him.
In a mysterious space, in a hall, there are more than a dozen mysterious figures looking at a light curtain in front of them.
If Lu Qing were here, he would recognize that one of them was the man wearing a ghost mask who brought them in.
What appeared on the light screen first was the current situation of the many trial participants in the trial space.
Among them, there is a figure of him flying.
"I'm afraid these trial participants would never have thought that this time, there would be so many Jindan ninth level masters coming in. I really want to see their faces when they meet later."
One of the figures said gloatingly.
He was wearing a mask of a ferocious beast on his face.
"Who could have imagined that a trial for an ordinary peripheral member would turn out like this? Even the mighty Yuanshen from the three clans would have found it difficult to predict."
Another figure wearing a fox mask spoke, the voice was charming, and it seemed to be a woman.
"This trial was manipulated by that master behind the scenes. How could the indigenous spirits of the Tianyuan World possibly resist his schemes?"
Another voice sounded.
When he mentioned that adult, more than a dozen mysterious figures couldn't help but tremble and straightened their backs slightly.
It seemed that the person was some extremely extraordinary being. Even if he was not here, just mentioning his name was enough to make them express awe.
After more than ten breaths of silence, someone asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, given that lord's status and position, why would he manipulate such a small trial for peripheral members?"
"How can we guess what that being is thinking?" the voice just now said, "But the news from above seems to be that the master suddenly had a whim and wanted to take in another registered disciple, so this trial came about."
"what?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other dozen or so mysterious figures all trembled violently.
