The Mysterious Fire Mirror is an extremely powerful and yang ( masculine ) treasure in the world and is the treasured possession of the Fen Xiang Valley, one of the three major righteous sects. It was stolen by the nine-tailed heavenly fox of the Heavenly Fox tribe several hundred years ago when it infiltrated the Fen Xiang Valley. After being discovered, the fox's son, a six-tailed fox demon, fled with the Mysterious Fire Mirror, while the fox herself was suppressed and sealed away.
For three hundred years, the six-tailed fox demon, who was still recovering from his injuries, had been hiding here with a three-tailed fox demon with a low level of cultivation, barely surviving.
Li Xiu had not gone far when he suddenly saw a vague and desolate figure in the thick fog of the forest, timidly hiding behind a tree and asking with a cautious and sad tone.
"Are you here to kill me?"
Li Xiu's vision was far beyond that of an ordinary person and he could easily see the other person's appearance.
The person was an extremely charming woman, with long straight black hair that was not tied up, but naturally draped over her shoulders. She had fair skin, a delicate nose, graceful eyebrows and eyes that shimmered like water. Coupled with the sorrowful tone that would even touch the hearts of bandits, even the most fierce and ruthless individuals would feel moved and filled with compassion.
Li Xiu frowned and sighed inwardly, 'Such powerful charm technique! It's truly a gift from heaven to have such a bloodline. Even ordinary cultivators would likely be enchanted and obedient after hearing just one sentence.'
Li Xiu was able to resist it easily not because of his profound cultivation, but most likely due to his strong bloodline.
"Buzz!"
In the quiet and dim forest, the Purple-Wing Sword was unsheathed and transformed into a purple stream of light, ferociously shooting towards the captivating figure without mercy.
The woman's body seemed to be like a leaf blown away by a strong gust of wind, floating backwards. She then faced the oncoming Purple-Wing Sword, suspended in mid-air with her sleeves dancing and suddenly spread wide open.
In a moment, the forest was filled with demonic energy and the sound of ghosts crying out. From the darkness behind her, at the same time, countless fierce figures opened their ferocious eyes and rushed towards the sword light of the Purple-Wing Sword without mercy.
The sword light of the Purple-Wing Sword was like entering a swamp, and although the fierce figures were constantly being destroyed, the speed of the sword light also greatly slowed down.
The woman waved her sleeves and the countless fierce figures submerged the Purple-Wing Sword. The purple light disappeared instantly in the darkness, and then she quickly floated towards Li Xiu, with a pair of beast claws hidden in her white sleeves, like a poisonous scorpion ready to strike at any moment.
Li Xiu felt a sense of danger and didn't have time to call back the Purple-Wing Sword, so he also floated backwards.
In mid-air, the woman's coquettish face showed a hint of ridicule. She probably thought he was a naive newcomer to the mountain with decent cultivation, but when frightened, he panicked and fled in the opposite direction of his own magic weapon.
Unlike the demon race, without his magic weapon, his fragile body could not withstand her attacks.
As the man and the demon retreated and advanced, the woman suddenly sensed that something was not right. This man's demeanor was too calm. Just when she suspected that there was a trick and wanted to retreat, Li Xiu suddenly rushed forward. The woman instinctively swung her claw to strike, but her attack, which could even break through iron, was easily blocked by Li Xiu.
The woman's alluring face instantly turned to shock as Li Xiu's fist forcefully pierced through her body.
Her once beautiful face twisted into a grotesque expression, and her fox fur bristled as she continuously coughed up blood. It seemed that all her strength had been drained, and her eyes were filled with fear as her trembling hand reached for her waist, trying to make one final move.
Li Xiu looked at her with indifference and reached out with his other hand, clawing at the fox demon's head. With a slight force, he snapped her neck, and the fox demon's lifeless hand fell to her side.
In mid-air, Li Xiu retrieved an object from the fox demon's waist and tossed the useless body aside.
It was a circular object, about half the size of a palm, with a green jade ring on the outside that looked fresh and moist. In the center of the jade ring was a small red thin slice that resembled a mirror but was not quite one. Engraved on the thin slice was a flickering flame pattern.
This is the Mysterious Fire Mirror. If the three-tailed fox demon had just taken out this item earlier, it wouldn't have been so easy for Li Xiu to deal with her.
Li Xiu tried to input spiritual energy into the Mysterious Fire Mirror, and it floated up. The ancient flame totem carved on it seemed to come to life and began to burn and flicker.
"Boom!"
A fireball several zhang in size condensed in an instant and blasted out, instantly reducing the vegetation within several dozen zhang in that direction to ashes. And this was just Li Xiu casually trying to activate it.
Li Xiu looked towards the direction of the Black Stone Cave, recalled his Purple Wing, and turned around and left.
There is still one six-tailed fox demon remaining, but it was injured by the Fen Xiang Valley with the Nine Cold Frozen Ice Thorn when it tried to steal the Mysterious Fire Mirror years ago. It can barely maintain its human form and is barely able to move. Without the support of the three-tailed fox demon, its death is only a matter of time.
At the Yuqing Palace on the Tongtian Peak of the Qing Yun Mountain, only five out of the seven peak heads are present.
Recently, news came that for some reason, the majority of the elite troops of the Demon Sect suddenly appeared in the area of the Eastern Sea's Ding Hai Mountain, with a huge momentum. Although the reason is unknown, people from the righteous path cannot afford to be careless.
As the leader of the righteous path, the Qing Yun Sect has sent the elite disciples of the four peaks, Longshou, Chaoyang, Da Zhu and Xiaozhu, as well as the two peak heads, Cangsong and Tian Buyi, to lead the operation, along with the elders to check the situation and stop the conspiracy of the demonic sect.
According to reports, the incident has ended and the two heads and some of the Qing Yun disciples are on their way back.
Late last night, one of the two Qing Yun disciples who went missing in the Dead Spirit Abyss, Li Xiu, suddenly returned to Qing Yun alone. This morning, the sect leader Daoxuan summoned the heads of the various peaks to inform them of the details of the incident.
Lu Xueqi was knocked down into the Dead Spirit Abyss by the demon sect's demon Lin Feng using the Mountain River Fan. Li Xiu disregarded the danger and flew on his sword to save her, but it was ultimately too late. Lu Xueqi, whose spiritual power had been depleted, fell to her death at the bottom of the abyss.
Li Xiu collected the tattered corpse of Lu Xueqi and intended to fly out of the abyss, but he was besieged by countless evil spirits and was unable to use his sword. Later, the commotion attracted countless demon beasts, and he was forced to flee deeper into the Dead Spirit Abyss.
While fleeing through the Merciless Sea, the howling of the demon beasts awakened the Black Water Mystic Snake, which then killed all the beasts with a single strike of its tail. However, its residual energy also struck Li Xiu and separated him from the corpse of Lu Xueqi. The body of Lu Xueqi sank into the depths of the Merciless Sea along with the Tianya Magical Sword, and its whereabouts are unknown.
...…
In a quiet mansion in Heyang City, the Ghost King and the Qing Long ( Azure Dragon ) walked slowly, guided by a respectful person, heading straight inside.
This mansion was the stronghold of the Hundred Poison Sect, the branch of the Demon Sect in Heyang City. And today, the Poison Deity, the oldest among the four major sect leaders of the Demon Sect, who was also the current leader of the Hundred Poison Sect, had arrived here.
With a smile on his face, the Ghost King walked ahead. He had already secretly mobilized the main forces of the Ghost King Faction to the vicinity of the Qing Yun Mountain. In addition, he had also invited the Chang Sheng ( Eternal Life ) Hall and the He Huan Sect to join forces with the Hundred Poison Sect. With all these sects combined, it could be said that the strength of the Demon Sect had been concentrated here in this location.
Not long ago, he strongly advocated that all forces of the Holy Religion should abandon their former grievances and unite to avenge the shameful humiliation suffered by the Holy Religion a hundred years ago when disciples of the righteous Qing Yun Sect attacked their holy temple. In the presence of the Heavenly Fiend Wisdom King sitting on his throne, he made a solemn oath with the three sect leaders to seize the opportunity to attack Qing Yun while they are caught off guard, and if possible, to directly destroy the Qing Yun Sect.
If he wins this battle, his prestige within the Holy Religion will naturally increase, and even if he loses, he will leave behind a good reputation as a strong supporter seeking revenge for the Holy Religion. Either way, he will not be at a loss.
