The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 509 Shifting the blame

Outside the black stone forest of the Dry Bone Realm.

Jin Ping'er walked out gracefully, bowed slightly and said, "I am Jin Ping'er from the same sect, and I am honored to meet all the senior brothers and sisters."

Situ Xian hurriedly supported him and said, "Fellow Daoist Jin, there is no need to be polite. Please tell me what happened~"

Except for the female cultivators, there was not a single male cultivator present who did not linger on Jin Ping'er's body, and they all stared at her with their eyes wide open.

Jin Ping'er also frowned slightly. Her clothes were a bit showy, but she had never been stared at by so many men like this before.

She raised her long sleeves to cover her eyes slightly and said softly, "I did see it with my own eyes. The two demon-companion herbs were obtained by Pan Chengfeng of the Yu Lei Sect and then handed over to Shangguan Heng. I am not sure about the other things, so let Senior Brother Huo explain it~" After that, she retreated.

Huo Nan stood up and continued, "I, along with fellow Taoists from Lingxiao Sect, Guiyi Sect, and Lingquan Sect, followed Shangguan Heng's team and found the location of a sealed formation."

Hearing about the Sealing Formation, the monks started to stir again. There were also some knowledgeable monks here, and one of them asked, "Fellow Daoist Huo, are you sure it's the Sealing Formation?"

Huo Nan nodded and said, "Confirmed, and the sealed thing has also come out. I didn't know what that thing was before, but now I think about it, it is very likely a demon."

These are all the top sects in Dongzhou, and all of them are people with status in the sect. Many of them know about the demons and are even more aware of how terrifying they are.

Lingxiao Sect leader Chen Jie stood up and asked, "Fellow Daoist Huo, do you mean that our Xia brothers and sisters were killed by the demons?"

Huo Nan did not deny it, but directly described the situation at that time, and finally added: "The demons are indeed powerful. If I did not have the life-saving talisman, I would not be able to stand here and tell you about it now."

Ghost Control Sect's Ge Sihao then asked, "You said that the demon can cast a spell just by raising his hand? Am I right?"

Huo Nan said: "That's absolutely right. If it weren't for Pan Chengfeng from the Yu Lei Sect who rushed up to fight the demons, we wouldn't have been able to escape."

Speaking of Pan Chengfeng, Jin Ping'er murmured with some worry: "I don't know if that little man is dead? He was so stupid to rush up and fight against the Demon Lord."

Ge Sihao's eyes were solemn as he said, "If that's the case, this person should be at least a demon king! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to comprehend that his words can bring about the results of his actions."

"Demon Lord?" "Demon Lord?" When the cultivators heard the name Demon Lord, they all panicked. Huo Nan quickly added, "I felt the strength of that demon. He only has the cultivation level of a Demon Lord. He must have been sealed for too long and his strength has declined."

Ge Sihao sneered, "What do you know? Even if he only has the cultivation of a Demon Lord, he was once a Demon Lord after all. Although his strength has declined, he must know many spells that only Demon Lords can cast. The fact that he can use the spell of speaking is the best proof of this."

Everyone was talking about it, and Situ Xian smiled and said, "The Demon Lord was released by the people of the Yu Lei Sect. Naturally, the people of the Yu Lei Sect are responsible for this matter. Don't you think so? Senior Brother Yu?"

Yu Qin, since escaping from the pursuit of the Demon Lord, he came to the ancient battlefield. When Shangguan Heng got the news about the Demon-Companion Grass, he naturally also received it.

But Yu Qin didn't expect Shangguan Heng to be so careful. Logically speaking, this was a big deal, and it was understandable for Shangguan Heng to gather all the troops of the Yu Lei Sect to protect him.

However, Shangguan Heng only notified two teams of his own clan and did not notify any other members of the Yu Lei Sect.

As a result, when Yu Qin received the news, almost everyone in the ancient battlefield knew about it, which put him in a very passive position.

Yu Qin heard Situ Xian's words and replied calmly: "The demons are the public enemy of the human race. Junior Brother Situ, are you excluding yourself from the human race?"

Situ Xian smiled and said, "It's true that the demons are the public enemy of the human race, but this one was released by your Yu Lei Sect~"

Yu Qin sneered, "Shangguan Heng has already run to the Black Stone Forest, and the Demon Lord didn't chase him. He either escaped or was killed by Shangguan Heng and his men. Why are you still holding on to him?"

Situ Xian laughed and said, "How could the Demon Lord be so easy to kill? I heard that Pan Chengfeng was not seen in Shangguan Heng's team. Maybe Pan Chengfeng held the Demon Lord back, allowing Shangguan Heng and his team to escape first?"

Yu Qin raised his eyes and stared at Situ Xian coldly, "Situ Xian, should I say you are stupid? Or should I say you are narrow-minded? It's been so long, and you haven't even seen the shadow of the Demon Lord. What are you worrying about?"

Situ Xian sneered: "Who knows what's going on? If the Demon Lord really comes, you, the Yu Lei Sect, will have to bear the responsibility!"

Situ Xian had been yelling for a long time just to push the responsibility onto the Yu Lei Sect. There were so many cases of buck-passing among the three sects that it was impossible to count them all.

As long as we push the blame on the Yu Lei Sect, we can blame them for anything that happens.

Ye Bufan also came. Almost all the top teams of the Yu Lei Sect had come. Since someone was targeting the Yu Lei Sect, as a disciple of the Yu Lei Sect, Ye Bufan naturally would not have a good tone.

He said coldly: "If the Beast Tamer Sect doesn't have the ability, then don't sit there and act pretentiously. If you are afraid, then get out!"

Ge Sihao also said: "That's right, those who are afraid can leave now, don't use chicken feathers as a token of authority!"

Situ Xian said angrily: "You! Okay, okay, okay~ You are wearing the same pants, right? If you two sects don't want to listen to my orders, just leave on your own. I don't bother to care about you!"

The three of them stood up and walked out directly. They came here mainly to confirm the news. Now that the news was confirmed, they naturally didn't want to stay and listen to Situ Xian's nonsense.

Situ Xian looked at the three people leaving with cold eyes, secretly hating them and saying, "I will deal with you sooner or later!"

Some sects that were friendly with the Ghost Control Sect and the Thunder Control Sect also left. In an instant, half of the fifty-plus people in the meeting were gone.

Situ Xian said calmly: "Okay, all the ignorant people have left. Now let's talk about how to hunt Shangguan Heng."

Most of the people present were from sects that were close to the Beast Taming Sect. One of them stood up and said, "As far as I know, although Shangguan Heng's team only has about 200 people, there are more than a dozen peak Void Refining cultivators. If they ambush us in advance..."

Situ Xian smiled and said, "The possibility of being ambushed is not high. Although Shangguan Heng has profound magical powers, he can't withstand so many people surrounding him. They can only keep moving to avoid being surrounded by so many cultivators."

After a discussion, the others felt that what Situ Xian said made some sense, but they were still a little worried.

After all, the black stone forest is extremely dangerous. The spiritual consciousness is restricted inside, and there are monsters and plant-type monsters everywhere. After entering, cultivators often disappear silently, and no one knows how they died.

But there are also many treasures inside, such as the treasures for the advancement of Lianxu to fusion, which are obtained here, and there are also some rare minerals, such as Gengjing Stone, Blood Yang Iron, Black Flame Meteorite Iron, and so on.

The black stone forest is also a place that some sects must visit. These minerals are almost impossible to see in the outside world.
