Wu Yuan was anxious. He didn't want to get entangled with Ge Feng on this matter. He turned his head sharply and looked at Wang Changkun and the others. Wang Changkun and his group of six just felt that these two had suddenly become neurotic, but they didn't know what had happened. Under the strange circumstances, although they were curious, they didn't want to ask much.
"Demon cultivators have eccentric personalities," Wang Changkun thought to himself. Years of wandering life in the turbulent flows of space had made them lose interest in everything except the hatred in their hearts.
Wang Changkun just waved his hand. "Fellow Daoists, please do as you wish. It's just four human cultivators. I will deal with them myself!"
With that, he flew towards the forest first without looking back. In fact, he only agreed with a small part of what Ge Feng had said. The other party only had two Pseudo-Core cultivators. He could kill them by himself. And just now, he had seen that these people's steps were unsteady. That was the aftereffect of activating a secret art, which would take at least ten days, or even several months, to recover from. In this situation, he didn't even need to act himself; the five people behind him could annihilate the other party.
...
Wu Yuan and Ge Feng stood on the Demon Cabinet, chasing in the direction of Li Yan's escape at an extremely fast speed. At this time, Wu Yuan finally said faintly, "Ge Feng, after we kill this cultivator, we'll split the things fifty-fifty. What do you think?"
Ge Feng had also long since retracted the sharp glint in his eyes, but his gaze was still fixed on the front. Seeing Wu Yuan propose a distribution method, he answered without hesitation, "Of course, we can. But there should only be one of that thing. How can we separate the contents inside?"
As he spoke, a strange look appeared in Ge Feng's eyes. He had no way to divide the treasure within into two. He had heard that only those at the Demon Lord level had the means to separate it, but even then, the chances were slim. Usually, the person who obtained this treasure would use it alone, unable to share it with others.
Hearing this, a triumphant look appeared on Wu Yuan's face. "Have you heard of the 'Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box'?"
"What? You have the 'Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box'? How can you have this thing? This is... this is..."
When Ge Feng heard Wu Yuan say the name "Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box," his face changed drastically again, and he began to stutter. The "Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box" was a top-tier treasure that only a Demonic General could refine. Wu Yuan was just a Demonic Soldier. How could he possess such an item? However, if the other party really possessed this item, it was indeed possible to divide that thing.
At the same time, endless greed rose in Ge Feng's heart. If he could get the "Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box" and then that thing, his strength would definitely double. Why not kill Wu Yuan in a moment... In this war with the Desolate Moon Continent, who would investigate the death of a few Demonic Soldiers? But his face still maintained a look of shock.
Wu Yuan smiled mysteriously. This is a great treasure of my sect. I had to beg my master to borrow it from my grandmaster this time. It was originally supposed to be used to dissolve the hostile qi in a demonic beast's body. But I didn't expect to be temporarily assigned to this Desolate Moon Continent, so I haven't been able to return it to my sect yet.
Although Ge Feng was still suspicious of the truth in Wu Yuan's words, he believed some of it. Because Wu Yuan was a cultivator from a top-tier great sect in the Demon Realm, and there were indeed three Demonic General-level great cultivators in his sect. Since it was difficult to tell the truth of Wu Yuan's words for the time being, it was better to focus his mind on the human cultivator ahead.
Ge Feng's eyes were fixed on the front. He asked with some curiosity, "Wu Yuan, how do you think this human boy got this treasure? He's only a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Wu Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking. "I was also thinking about this problem just now. There could be many reasons. Since the first great battle at the Devil's Cliff Crevice, there have always been cultivators of our Demon Clan on the Desolate Moon Continent. I heard that these seniors fought fiercely with human cultivators one after another in order to open the two-realm passage. The number of deaths among them is countless, so it's normal for their belongings to be obtained by human cultivators after their death. But the cultivation aptitude of human cultivators is so inferior. They can't adapt to the different spiritual qi, origin power, etc., in many realms like our Demon Clan. So they can't use our treasures. Since they can't use them, how can they cherish them? Then, it's probably not a problem for even a Qi Condensation stage cultivator to get a Demonic General's item from their master. Look carefully. That cultivator should have inlaid this thing on the hilt of his sword, probably for decoration. When he took out his magical treasure to escape just now, it revealed its aura. What a waste of a heavenly treasure."
After Wu Yuan finished speaking, he felt that his analysis was very reasonable and couldn't help but admire himself for his deduction. At the same time, he felt angry that this cultivator in front of him possessed a treasure of his Demon Clan.
After Ge Feng heard this, and thought about what he had seen and heard since coming from the South Sea, it was indeed so. Even after they conquered the headquarters of the so-called Supreme Mystery Teachings of the Four Great Sects of the Desolate Moon Continent, they found many demon treasures. But these demon treasures clearly had no signs of being used by humans, and even the protective formations in the places where the demon treasures were placed were not very strong.
Thinking again that he would soon be able to get this longsword from the human cultivator ahead, Ge Feng's heart began to burn. He couldn't help but think about how to distribute it with Wu Yuan. Ge Feng was not a demon cultivator who easily trusted others. He was about to ask Wu Yuan to take out the "Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box" for a look to confirm that what the other party said was not false.
Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on Wu Yuan's face. "That kid has also consumed his essence blood before. Now he's at his limit."
Indeed, as he said this, Ge Feng immediately shifted his attention to Li Yan in front of him. He saw that the other party's flight speed had slowed down, and the spirit power light outside his body was fluctuating between strong and weak, constantly changing and flashing.
Seeing that he had successfully diverted Ge Feng's attention, Wu Yuan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. 'In a moment, you can go and see it in the underworld.' He didn't have a "Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box" at all. He had just said it to stabilize Ge Feng. His killing intent had already risen since Ge Feng followed him. Ge Feng actually wanted to share the treasure he had his eyes on. The thing didn't know life from death. He was the captain of the squad. This Ge Feng didn't distinguish between senior and junior. The most crucial thing was that there should only be one such treasure on that cultivator. How could the two of them divide it?
At this time, they were only about fifty li away from Li Yan ahead. As long as they got a little closer, their arts could even reach him for an attack.
And Li Yan, who was flying ahead, quietly looked at the hilt of the longsword in his hand. Between the hilt and his palm was a black Demonic Core, the very thing he had taken from the young woman of Griefspirit Manor. At this moment, under the push of Li Yan's spirit power, black gas was swirling around it.
Li Yan had only been about sixty or seventy percent sure before. He thought that by stimulating the demonic qi in the Demonic Core, he could attract the two demon cultivators. The logic was like Li Yan having a Golden Core in his hand. If others knew, they would immediately have the thought of killing him for the treasure. A Golden Core or a Nascent Soul could directly or indirectly improve a cultivator's cultivation, and by a large margin. It was just that without a corresponding cultivation method to absorb it, most of it was absorbed through medicine, and it could not be directly swallowed.
Since a human's Golden Core had such an effect, Li Yan believed that the Demonic Core in his hand must have a similar effect. And this was a Demon Lord's Demonic Core. The attraction to two Foundation Establishment demon cultivators was undoubtedly fatal.
However, Li Yan had also made a series of backup preparations. He couldn't really let Bai Rou and the others fall into a dangerous situation. He still had several demon magical treasures in his hands, all of which were Demon Lord-level magical treasures. He didn't believe that two mere Demonic Soldier-level cultivators would not be interested in that level of a little black net or a pink flower magical treasure. If the aura of the Demonic Core couldn't attract the other party, then Li Yan would take out the demon magical treasures.
But Li Yan's plan actually had a flaw, which was why the aura of a Demonic Core would suddenly appear on him when it hadn't before. In his haste, Li Yan could only take out a flying sword from his storage pouch and then clamp the Demonic Core between his palms. This should be able to dispel the other party's suspicion. In the other party's divine sense, the appearance of the demonic qi now was of course related to this flying sword. Overall, it should be plausible. Now it seemed that everything was proceeding according to his plan.
In fact, Li Yan had still underestimated the attraction of a Demonic Core taken from a Demon Lord to low-level demon cultivators. The demonic qi in the Demonic Core could be directly absorbed by demon cultivators, which could quickly improve a demon cultivator's cultivation. The Demonic Core in Li Yan's hand was enough to give Wu Yuan or Ge Feng a seventy percent chance of advancing to a Demon Lord within a year.
Apart from this, what made Wu Yuan and Ge Feng even more frantic was that the Demonic Origin Power in the Demonic Core could greatly improve their physical bodies and the attack power of their arts in a short period of time. With these two points, it was enough to make Wu Yuan and Ge Feng have the thought of killing each other without hesitation.
Next, Li Yan was going to find a place and then quickly kill these two demon cultivators. Li Yan's own real thought was not just to lure away the two demon cultivators, but to get away from Bai Rou and the others, kill the pursuers, and completely shake them off. But all of this could not let Bai Rou and the others understand his true strength.
Thus, the spirit power fluctuation on Li Yan's body became unstable again, and his body swayed as he fell into a pile of rubble on a mountain peak.
...
"Those... those two demon cultivators really left!" Just as Wu Yuan and Ge Feng whistled away, inside the formation in the forest, Yan Feijun exclaimed in a low voice of disbelief. Fortunately, they still had the formation restriction outside to isolate them, so the sound only echoed within the formation and could not be transmitted out.
This whole turn of events was too sudden. Even Bai Rou, who had always firmly believed that Li Yan could do it, was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she once again sent a voice transmission. "Alright, now is our time to ambush the other party. I hope everyone will give it their all in the first strike. Junior Brother Li's side can't hold out for too long. We must not let any accident happen to Junior Brother Li because of us. The four of us, don't worry about the others. Let's attack that Pseudo-Core cultivator together. We must kill him in one blow, and then attack the other cultivators irregularly."
Hu Xiaowang and Sun Guoshu had not yet recovered. Their eyes were still looking at the distant Demon Cabinet in disbelief. It wasn't until Bai Rou's voice transmission sounded in their minds that they hurriedly responded, "Oh... oh, yes..."
...
"That kid's magic power is exhausted, quick, quick, quick!"
Seeing Li Yan in front of him suddenly fall at an extremely fast speed into a pile of rubble on a low mountain, Ge Feng was overjoyed. He had long forgotten about asking Wu Yuan to take out the "Demon-Transforming Yin-Yang Box" for a look, and just urged him on repeatedly.
Although Wu Yuan was also pleasantly surprised, he was more focused on planning how to quietly kill Ge Feng. Now, although most of Ge Feng's attention was on that human cultivator, he had always maintained a certain distance from him. Since the two of them had been chasing alone, Ge Feng had intentionally or unintentionally pulled away from him, and his body was shrouded in demonic qi, as if he was always on guard against him.
