The dagger was left behind by the father of the God of Punishment, but it requires the art of Heavenly Refining to unlock the secret inside. Obviously, the father of the God of Punishment also understands the art of Heavenly Refining!
"You have helped me solve years of doubts, and I will thank you!" said the God of Punishment. Although he looked very serious, he gave people a very friendly feeling when he spoke at this time.
Shen Xiang said: "The Demon Slayer Temple is going to go to war with the Hell Temple, but the God of the Main Temple asked me to come here to find you. Why? Doesn't he want me to join the war? I want to leave now!"
The God of Punishment put his hand on his shoulder, his expression serious: "Do you really think that killing the demons is as simple as declaring war on the Hell Temple? He has had many opportunities to declare war on the Hell Temple over the years, but he chose to do it now, not just because of the matter of the Demon Sun Valley!"
Shen Xiang indeed thought so, because he saw that the Demon Slayer God was very angry and wanted to destroy the Hell Temple. And now from the words of the Punishment God, he knew that there was another hidden story.
"He asked you to come to me, not just to help me, but also to do something that only you can accomplish." The God of Punishment looked into the distance and sighed, "You have almost learned the first move of his Seven Demon Slayer Moves, so he has high expectations of you."
"What does he want me to do?" Shen Xiang realized that the Demon Slayer God's war against the Hell Temple might just be a cover.
"Go to hell!" The words of the God of Punishment scared Shen Xiang. Seeing Shen Xiang's surprise, the God of Punishment added: "There is a very scary thing hidden in the Hell of the Demon Emperor of Hell. Originally, he arranged for Zu Chao to go, but now he has a better candidate!"
When going to hell to look for something, Shen Xiang suddenly became nervous, because that was the territory of the Demon Emperor of Hell!
"Don't worry, the Demon Emperor of Hell will definitely bring his strongest force to fight when the time comes, so there won't be any powerful guys in hell, you can handle it!" The God of Punishment took out a large piece of paper and spread it on the ground.
"This is a map of hell. You need to go to the residence of the Hell Demon Emperor in hell and find a black hexagonal disk in his residence. It is about the size of a palm. He will not carry this thing with him."
The God of Punishment pointed to a place, which was the residence of the Hell Demon Emperor. He then took out a disc with a pointer on it. He handed the disc to Shen Xiang: "Go to the residence of the Hell Demon Emperor and walk around. As long as you see the finger formation turning, the hexagonal disc is nearby."
After Shen Xiang took it, he said: "Can't we just let Zu Chao go? He is so powerful, it will definitely go smoothly. I'm not even a Mystical God!"
"Your camouflage and concealment skills are better than Zu Chao's. And because your cultivation is not high, you can easily conceal your aura and will not be discovered by the gods in Hell! Moreover, you know how to use the power of space, so you are better than Zu Chao." The God of Punishment said: "Zuchao is very powerful. When the war with the Hell Temple begins, he can also reduce the casualties of the Demon Slayer Temple."
The God of Punishment would actually join forces with the Demon-Slaying Temple to do such a thing. It is obvious at a glance that it was not the Demon-Slaying God who asked the God of Punishment to do this.
"What exactly is the hexagonal plate? Is it important?" Shen Xiang was very curious about it.
The God of Punishment nodded and said, "It is very important and dangerous. The Demon Emperor of Hell uses this thing to find many monster spaces, and then uses this thing to control those monsters. In addition, there are some other terrible powers. In short, it cannot be left in his hands, otherwise the world of gods will be very dangerous."
Shen Xiang had seen those monsters before, but he didn't expect that the Demon Emperor of Hell used this thing to get them. Now he understood why the Demon Slayer God would join forces with the Punishment God.
"Okay, when can I set off?" Shen Xiang suddenly felt that his mission was arduous. Only by getting that thing could he prevent the Hell Demon Emperor from having powerful strength.
The God of Punishment said, "You stay here for a few days. As long as there is a war over there, I will send you to hell. Although the Demon Emperor of Hell will lead his powerful men to participate in the war, there will definitely be people left behind in hell, so you must be careful."
After the God of Punishment left, Long Xueyi whispered, "I remember that hexagonal plate. It was a terrifying divine weapon refined by a great god back then. It was banned in the past. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the Demon Emperor of Hell. No wonder he is so ambitious!"
The magic weapon used by Taishen must be even more terrifying!
In the next few days, Shen Xiang was familiarizing himself with the first move of the Seven Demon-Slaying Styles. Originally, he wanted to practice the God-Slaying Sword Technique, but he didn't expect that he couldn't perform it at all now!
The God-killing Sword Technique was so profound that it could not be unleashed by chance, so he firmly believed that it had something to do with the divine nature he had integrated.
The God of Punishment has arrived, which means that the Demon-Slaying Temple and the Hell Temple have already started a war!
"It's begun. I'm going to send you to hell now. Be careful! You should be familiar with the map." The God of Punishment took out a formation plate. He is the God of Punishment and can enter hell at will.
"Once you get the hexagonal plate, use this formation plate to come back." The God of Punishment asked Shen Xiang to stand on the small formation plate.
Long Xueyi has already entered Shen Xiang's Youyao Ring, and she also wants to go with Shen Xiang. The God of Punishment does not object.
"We're back!" The God of Punishment activated the formation and sent Shen Xiang away.
Shen Xiang disappeared along with the teleportation array disk and appeared in a dim place. The place was filled with evil spirits and black fog, and from time to time, the eerie cries of ghosts and wolves could be heard.
"Fortunately, I didn't come to this kind of place because of death!" Shen Xiang looked at the terrain around him, quickly confirmed his location, and then walked according to the map. After passing through several mountains full of skeletons, he saw a vast blood-red ocean.
This is the Blood Sea of Hell. The residence of the Demon Emperor of Hell is on an island in the Blood Sea.
Shen Xiang stood on the shore, took out a bead emitting white light, and controlled the bead to float above the blood. The blood that was rising and falling was very thick, and many skeletons reached out to grab it.
"Only bones are left, but it can still move!" Shen Xiang took back the light ball, soared into the sky, and flew over the sea of blood.
Long Xueyi said: "The God of Punishment said that the most dangerous place is the island of the Demon Emperor of Hell. You'd better not go there directly. Get close first and observe for a while before entering the island."
Shen Xiang also had this plan, but he had to hurry up now, because he didn't know how long the Hell Demon Emperor would fight with the Demon Slayer God. If he dragged it out too long and the Hell Demon Emperor suddenly came back, he would be in trouble.
After several hours, he finally flew carefully to the vicinity of the island. On the way, he encountered several waves of patrolling Hell Guards. It's not that he couldn't defeat them, but he was worried about alerting them, so he had to carefully avoid them.
After being able to see the island from afar, he used the Divine Wandering in the Nine Heavens to observe the situation on the island. What made him happy was that the Hell Demon Guards on the island were all wearing iron masks, so no one could see each other.
According to the body shapes and things on the bodies of those Hell Demon Guards, Shen Xiang performed the art of transformation, making himself exactly the same as the Hell Demon Guards. He also simulated the breath of the Hell Demon Guards, and then flew towards the island.
Most of the Hell Demon Guards patrolled alone, and there were only small teams on the Sea of Blood, so after Shen Xiang landed on the island, he did not attract attention.
Now Shen Xiang also boldly approached the palace of the Hell Demon Emperor. It was a huge square building built with huge black stones, hundreds of feet high, and located in the middle of the island. It was also called the Hell Demon Palace.
Shen Xiang circled around the Hell Demon Palace for several times, and after finding an opportunity, he turned into a wisp of black mist and drilled in through the gap in the gate.
This hell was originally dark, and Shen Xiang thought that the Hell Demon Palace was also gloomy, but he didn't expect it to be very bright inside. Once he entered, he could see the bright sunshine.
"The Demon Emperor of Hell doesn't like this pitch-black hell, so he made his own Demon Palace look like the Realm of Gods!" As soon as Shen Xiang entered the door, he saw a large green field. There was a clear river flowing slowly in front, and not far away were a group of towering buildings.
Shen Xiang released several spirits to investigate and found that there were not many people inside, so he flew to the buildings without any worries.
"Is there no one guarding here? The Demon Emperor of Hell is too careless!" Shen Xiang tried to use the art of transformation to pretend to be a guard but failed, because he couldn't find anyone after searching for several times.
To be on the safe side, Shen Xiang turned into a Hell Demon Guard again, and then took out the disc with a pointer given to him by the God of Punishment.
As soon as he took it out, the finger array started moving. No matter which direction he turned, the finger array designated a direction.
Everything went so smoothly, but Shen Xiang couldn't be happy. This was the residence of the Demon Emperor of Hell, and it was impossible for him to succeed so easily.
Now he can only walk cautiously in the direction of the pointer!
Shen Xiang shuttled through the pavilions. He originally thought that he would be in the tallest pavilion in the middle, but he was not, so he had to keep going.
"Stop!" Shen Xiang suddenly heard a cold shout, which turned out to be a woman's voice.
What surprised him was that his spatial perception field was unable to sense it!
"What are you doing here? The demon guards cannot come in without permission. Who let you in? Show me your proof!" asked the woman who was hiding somewhere.
Shen Xiang did not answer. He did not know how to answer. Just as he was trying to think of a solution, a woman in a black robe appeared in front of him. She had a black iron mask on her face.
"You have trespassed into the Demon Palace and will go to the eighteenth level of hell!" Without waiting for Shen Xiang to explain, the woman suddenly had a spear in her hand and stabbed it towards Shen Xiang's chest.
Shen Xiang immediately teleported away, staying away from this dangerous woman!
"You are not a demon guard, who are you?" the woman asked coldly, but she could no longer sense Shen Xiang's breath.
Shen Xiang felt that he was discovered just now because he was too obvious, so the woman saw him from a distance. Now that he was hiding, the woman could no longer see him.
