Chapter 396: A lot of connections, guess who?
Bai Ze sighed softly. Even though Yang Jiao seemed confident at the moment, he was still a little uneasy and held the Hundred Demon Diagram tightly.
If Yang Jiao is in any danger, this Hundred Demons Painting can bring her back safely.
After Yang Jiao finished talking with Bai Ze, she got up and walked out. Mosquito Taoist was about to follow, but Yang Jiao stopped her. She stroked Mosquito Taoist's head, her eyes filled with obvious joy.
"Wait for me in the Netherworld Blood Sea."
Mosquito Taoist's face darkened, and he reluctantly tugged at Yang Jiao's sleeve, shaking it gently.
Why didn't you bring mosquito repellent?
Yang Jiao moved the hand that was touching her hair to her face, and then gently tugged at it:
"You're one of my trump cards too."
My dear mosquito, you have a powerful backer behind you!
Seeing Yang Jiao's persistence, Mosquito Taoist stood sullenly by the Netherworld Blood Sea, watching her figure grow ever more distant.
At this moment, the sea of blood churned with waves because of her arrival. She glanced at it and kicked the waves away in great displeasure.
……
Yang Jiao and Bai Ze flew swiftly all the way until they arrived at the depths of the Northern Sea.
The land was covered in ice and snow, and the wind was biting cold.
Bai Ze looked around but couldn't find any trace of them, so he whispered:
"The Demon Master's Palace cannot be found because it is hidden by the Hetu Luoshu."
Yang Jiao knew that the Western Sect possessed a primordial magic weapon that operated in the same way as the Hetu and Luoshu.
He nodded knowingly in reply:
"Yes, I know, just like the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus."
"What did you say?" Bai Ze turned to look at her in surprise. "So you mean you know where the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus is?!"
Bai Ze was praised by the Three Realms for being omniscient, and he also knew how to calculate the general location of the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.
Yang Jiao's casual remark shattered his understanding.
Realizing she had let something slip, Yang Jiao patted his shoulder reassuringly and said:
"If you can't find the black lotus, it must be hidden away."
"Really?" Bai Ze looked at her suspiciously.
This girl is very good at hiding her true colors.
If she hadn't revealed the significance of the Primordial Purple Qi within her, even she herself wouldn't have expected it.
Clearly, she must know the exact location of that twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus!
Yang Jiao avoided Bai Ze's gaze.
She's not going to tell Bai Ze where he is.
The Demon Court was so powerful back then, it must have had countless treasures. We can still trade for this Black Lotus.
She gazed at the icebergs, sharp as blades, and the boundless ice plains, then waved her hand, sending a gust of wind surging forth.
It shattered an iceberg with a loud bang.
It rolled and tumbled onto the ice field with a splash.
Yang Jiao was about to make another move when Bai Ze stopped her, saying:
"If you can't provoke them like this, the Kunpeng can hide for tens of thousands of years and endure what ordinary people cannot."
It's just a little destruction of territory.
For Kunpeng, it wouldn't provoke him in the slightest.
"It will come out."
Yang Jiao said in a low voice.
The force she used to strike the iceberg just now contained a trace of primordial purple energy.
If the red clouds are Zhen Yuanzi's trap, then the primordial purple energy will only have a greater fatal attraction for the Kunpeng.
Before Bai Ze could even notice, the ice field beneath his feet had already begun to tremble.
A series of cracks and splits echoed in my ears.
A giant spider web stretched out, then suddenly! It shattered with a bang.
Bai Ze grabbed Yang Jiao by the back of her collar and quickly pulled her into the air.
Looking back at the spot where they had just stood,
A huge fin appeared, as if it had slapped down out of thin air and then retracted.
Apart from the deep pit on the ice, it has disappeared without a trace.
Yang Jiao frowned:
"Can't even the Primordial Purple Qi be drawn out?"
As soon as she finished speaking,
A colossal figure suddenly leaped from the deep sea beneath the ice, creating towering waves. With a flap of its wings, a gale swept through, and the seawater transformed into countless ice blades.
Bai Ze turned around and unfurled the Hundred Demon Diagram, deflecting the attack with a bang.
Then Yang Jiao felt a shadow looming over her head.
Just now, the fish fins could shatter the entire ice field in sight. Now, the Kunpeng above is as huge as a mountain, its wings can cover the sun and moon, its scales are like iron, its eyes are like torches, and it exudes a suffocating pressure.
For the first time, I understood that sentence I saw on my phone in my past life:
In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun, and Kun is enormous...
The Kunpeng's eyes gleamed with greed, as if it were searching for the source of that wisp of primordial purple energy.
Then, upon seeing the old acquaintance Bai Ze, he snorted coldly:
"You dare to come here seeking death?"
Bai Ze felt a tightness in his back and broke out in a cold sweat.
Then he felt a solid force slap his back. Good, now he wasn't sweating anymore, only feeling pain.
He glanced at Yang Jiao, looking completely bewildered as to why she was suddenly attacking his own people.
Yang Jiao gestured with her chin raised:
"Say it back."
Bai Ze whispered:
"Have you considered that he is a quasi-saint? The Hundred Demon Diagram can only protect one person. I still want to live to see His Highness obtain the Hetu Luoshu. Zhen Yuanzi hasn't even arrived yet!"
Yang Jiao also said in a low voice:
"Since we're already here, aren't we here to kill him?"
Bai Ze hardened his heart and shouted at Kunpeng:
"The Demon Court has been destroyed, but the demon race has not become extinct! Do you think no one knows your identity before you became a strategist?"
He roared, his voice shaking the heavens.
His eyes, sharp as cold blades, stared at Bai Ze, and he spewed a torrent of water in their direction.
Bai Ze unleashed the Hundred Demons Diagram to defend himself.
Yang Jiao praised him while waiting for the gossip to come:
"Well said, hurry up and say more to buy time, continue."
Bai Ze poked his head out from beside the Hundred Demon Scroll, his voice echoing across the entire icy plain:
"Kunpeng was just a wet nurse in the Demon Court! He had to coax ten princes every day! It was because he was good at coaxing them that he was promoted by Donghuang Taiyi."
The Kunpeng soars in the sky, and the floodwaters rise even higher.
Bai Ze's hand holding the Hundred Demons Diagram began to tremble.
Yang Jiao opened her mouth slightly and asked Bai Ze:
"really?"
The Demon Master Kunpeng used to take care of children in the Demon Court? Does that mean he also took care of Lu Ya?
Bai Ze gritted his teeth and managed to reply in a moment of resentment:
"Of course it's true! It's because he's better at taking care of children than I am that he was promoted more than a thousand years earlier than me!"
Yang Jiao sensed a hint of envy in Bai Ze's tone.
And since his insults don't hit the mark, Yang Jiao could only add:
"So you're the Golden Crow's rocking horse."
She asked Kunpeng earnestly:
Do you know the song "Daddy's Daddy is Grandpa"?
The Kunpeng's massive body paused slightly, and a boundless rage arose within it. It spread its wings, unleashing a hurricane-like black cloud.
They directly knocked down Bai Ze's Hundred Demons Diagram.
He was startled.
Then, as the hurricane was about to strike again, Yang Jiao unfurled the Taiji Banner and poured in the Primordial Purple Qi.
In an instant, the entire Northern Dark Ice Plains was filled with the aura of Primordial Purple Qi. She said softly:
"Before I die, I will use my last bit of strength to release the Primordial Purple Qi beyond the Three Realms."
This blatant threat—the Primordial Purple Qi leaving the body is just like Hongyun back then; finding it again would be as difficult as climbing to heaven!
The Kunpeng abruptly stopped, its eyes shining as it looked at Yang Jiao:
"Girl, hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, and I may spare your life."
Yang Jiao sat cross-legged on the cloud, calmly starting to count on her fingers.
"one."
"What are you doing?" Bai Ze asked in surprise.
The Kunpeng was flying overhead at that moment, and its massive body alone could smash the two of them into mincemeat when it landed.
In a panic, he tried to grab the Hundred Demons Painting he had just picked up and take Yang Jiao away.
"two."
Yang Jiao held up two fingers.
Kunpeng had little patience; he felt unsafe even before he was in the Demon Master's Palace.
With a roar, it summoned the Hetu and Luoshu, which then enveloped the entire ice field. Finally, it spoke with an arrogant tone:
"This place has been sealed off. Even if you die, the Primordial Purple Qi will not be able to escape!"
He laughed loudly.
Yang Jiao remained motionless, silently raising her third finger:
"three!"
After the three calls ended, Bai Ze asked in a panic:
What are you counting?
Yang Jiao slowly stood up.
The Kunpeng, soaring in the sky, suddenly roared and spewed out black flames. Wherever the flames passed, the seawater evaporated and space distorted.
Yang Jiao patted Bai Ze on the shoulder and said:
"I'm counting how many people will come."
Bai Ze frowned.
But then the Kunpeng, who had been so arrogant and domineering just moments before, suddenly changed his expression, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
Bai Ze looked up and saw that the black flames that Kunpeng had spewed out above had all disappeared. Kunpeng's body was so huge that it completely blocked their view, and they could not see the scene outside his body.
However, it was clear to the naked eye that the Kunpeng's gaze was no longer on them, but rather on the other side as if facing a formidable enemy.
Yang Jiao watched the show with a smile, and even spoke to Bai Ze with interest:
"Guess who's coming?"
