Chapter 241 Yan Jingxi

The howling wind made the black robes of the group of cultivators rustle, and the red scorpion pattern on the back of their robes looked even more ferocious.

Red Scorpion Robes!

Disciples of the Abyss Gate!

"Master Wu Jing, how strong are those people above?" Qin Jun squinted and asked. The other cultivators around the Beast Lake had not yet noticed the presence of the Abyss Gate disciples. They were still focused on the beast egg and the deep red monster, unaware that a greater crisis was looming.

"The strongest among them has reached the ninth level of the Earth Immortal realm," replied Sha Wu Jing solemnly. Hearing this, Qin Jun widened his eyes, feeling a surge of astonishment.

Is the Earth Immortal realm so common within the Abyss Gate?

Qin Jun felt a sense of frustration. The last time he encountered a powerful Earth Immortal realm expert was when he met Lin Suchou. Considering the remote distance of the Abyss Gate from the Black Dragon Kingdom, it was unimaginable that they would casually dispatch an Earth Immortal realm expert for any mission. This increased the pressure on Qin Jun from the Abyss Gate.

Today's battle for the divine beast seemed to require him to offend the Abyss Gate to the extreme.

But there was no other choice. For his own benefit, he had to fight!

"As one of the nine demonic forces, the Abyss Gate has been appearing frequently near the Southern Zhuo Empire recently. I'm afraid..." said the Xiong Tian Dog in a deep voice.

Qin Jun's brows furrowed even tighter. Suddenly, he recalled a legend he had heard before.

The War between the Righteous and the Demonic!

Could it be that the Abyss Gate wanted to trigger the War between the Righteous and the Demonic again?

Qin Jun's way of thinking was different from the cultivators of this world. His thoughts were highly associative and he wouldn't overlook any possibility.

As he pondered, a terrifying red giant hand broke through the rolling thunderclouds and grabbed the deep red monster in the Beast Lake, in front of the cultivators. The enormous deep red monster was caught in the hand as if it were a chick, terrifying the cultivators and causing them to retreat in fear.

"My god... What is that..."

"That hand..."

"Could it be the hand of a god?"

"Look at the sky, there's a group of people over there!"

"Damn, it almost scared me to death!"

The cultivators were in a flurry of discussion. The face of the straw-clothed man also showed astonishment and disbelief. He exclaimed, "The Abyss Gate! How is this possible!"

Qin Jun, who had been watching the straw-clothed man, became even more puzzled upon hearing this.

Could it be that the straw-clothed man was not a disciple of the Abyss Gate?

Then which force did he belong to?

Qin Jun was increasingly troubled, realizing that the situation was more complex than he had thought. Were there other demonic forces infiltrating the righteous path besides the Abyss Gate?

He suddenly thought of a young man from the demonic path whom he had encountered in Qingtan City before. Although they had not interacted at the time, both Daji and the Xiong Tian Dog had said that he was a member of the demonic path. Could it be that the demonic path had already infiltrated the righteous path, and the righteous path had not yet realized it?

At the thought of this, Qin Jun broke out in a cold sweat.

Meanwhile, the deep red monster had already moved away from the Beast Lake, screaming frantically, "Abyss Gate! It's you again! If you have the ability, kill me! Otherwise, the Monster Sovereign will not let you off!"

The roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing discomfort to the weaker cultivators.

Regardless of its cries, the red giant hand did not let go, making it impossible for the deep red monster to break free.

Soon, the deep red monster was lifted into the sky and disappeared from the sight of the cultivators.

The straw-clothed man stood still, his body trembling slightly, clearly filled with extreme fear, and he dared not move, while a group of Abyss Gate disciples in the sky looked down at him, making him unable to lift his head.

"This divine beast belongs to us!"

The leader, a white-haired man, said indifferently, his voice very light but clearly audible to everyone.

He seemed to be looking down on the earth like a god. His cultivation at the ninth level of the Earth Immortal realm was indeed god-like!

The terrifying pressure crushed the Beast Lake, causing the cultivators in the air to have drastic changes in their faces. They quickly flew to the shore and knelt down as soon as they landed, unable to stand up again. Looking at the other cultivators, those below the Golden Core realm were directly lying on the ground, unable to get up no matter how hard they struggled.

Qin Jun also felt uncomfortable, but fortunately, Daji and Xiao Li each reached out and pressed on his shoulders, helping to counteract the terrifying pressure descending from the sky.

Not far away, Jiang Ming knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth and trying to make himself look less disheveled.

"Damn, the ninth level of the Earth Immortal realm is actually so powerful!"

Qin Jun cursed through gritted teeth. Normally, both Taibai Venus and Sha Wu Jing would conceal their auras, even during battles. Therefore, he didn't have much awe for the Earth Immortal realm. But he didn't expect the terrifying pressure emanating from the ninth level of the Earth Immortal realm to be so overwhelming.

The ninth level of the Earth Immortal realm was only one step away from the Heavenly Immortal realm!

How much stronger would the pressure be if Sha Wu Jing, who was at the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal realm, were to unleash it?

And what about the Red Boy, who was at the eighth level of the True Immortal realm...

At the moment when Qin Jun was lost in thought, the cracked divine beast egg once again emitted a roar that sounded like a dragon and an elephant. The sound grew louder and the space around the divine beast egg suddenly displayed a lotus flower vision, accompanied by colorful light, incredibly beautiful.

The lotus flower vision continued to expand, and amidst the shocked expressions of the cultivators, the entire divine beast lake was covered by the lotus flower vision, resembling a lotus lake. However, the occasional ripples that pierced through the lotus flowers made people realize that it was just an illusion and not a real existence.

"What is this thing?" Qin Jun asked in astonishment, finding it difficult to understand. Was it born with special effects?

At this moment, a white-haired man led a group of Abyss Gate disciples flying down. Qin Jun carefully counted them, a total of thirty-two people, and not a single one was weaker than him, which was a heavy blow to him.

"Abyss Gate, 17th Guardian Yan Jingxi?" The straw-hat man stared at the white-haired man and asked through gritted teeth.

At the fifth level of the Illusionary Realm, he was no match for Yan Jingxi, who was at the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the difference was like night and day, and he had no chance of winning.

"Xu Yue, this divine beast is born from the fortune of heaven and earth, not something your Black Flame Sect can meddle with." Yan Jingxi sneered, the fierce wind blowing his white hair, making his stern face look somewhat ferocious.

Black Flame Sect!

Qin Jun's heart trembled at this, which evil force was this again?

Little did he know that he was very familiar with the Black Flame Sect. On that day, the Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect, Gu Deng, came to help Bei Gongzu, and even Sha Wujing was no match for him. Unfortunately, he was still beaten by the Red Boy and even had his physical body destroyed.
