Chapter 1945: Heartless Cliff
“It’s just this?”
In the sea of desire, Luo Hong watched the many attacks slipping past Sima Lei and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
If the secret in this cave of poisons is just a first-grade rare poison, then he would have lost money by taking the risk this time.
"First-class magic material! There is such a treasure here. No wonder Lord Sima went deep into the devil's realm to have a try!"
Song Yaoguang's reaction at the side was completely opposite to Luo Hong's at this moment. He actually understood Sima Lei immediately.
But this is not her fault. After all, there are only nine grades of law spiritual materials, and the first grade is the highest.
If handled properly, Bai Zaoshan could even use it to refine a third-grade immortal weapon, and any Daluo cultivator would be jealous when seeing it!
Luo Hong shook his head slightly when he heard this. He always felt that things were not that simple and what Sima Lei just said might not be the truth.
At this moment, the faces of the people on the Sea of Desire also changed drastically because of Sima Lei's words, but their expressions were different.
The Five Immortals' Patriarch could hardly suppress his ecstasy. The first-grade strange poison had a huge effect on him. It would directly double his strength after getting it, and it would also be much easier to kill the third corpse in the future!
Marquis Zi Yang had a look of shock on his face. He had guarded Zi Yan Town for so many years, but he had never thought that there would be such a treasure in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
"Ancestor, there may be a trick!"
After being shocked, Marquis Zi Yang immediately began to have strong doubts.
On the other side, Zhu Yan and Hua She exchanged glances quickly, and then looked at Master Zhaogu together, as if they wanted him to give an explanation.
After all, Master Zhaogu practiced the Law of Bones, and that strange poison would hardly help his cultivation in any way.
Therefore, the most likely way for him to obtain this poison is to use it directly.
And the person who is worthy of him using the first-grade strange poison to kill is at least a Daluo monk!
However, Master Zhaogu had no time to pay attention to the two of them. He looked at Sima Lei fiercely and shouted angrily:
"Sima Lei, if you dare to break the agreement and tell other people about this, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, Master Zhaogu stretched out a finger and pierced it into the white bone between his eyebrows. With a slight turn, a force of law burst out from Sima Lei's body in the distance!
There was a series of crackling sounds, and all the bones in Sima Lei's body seemed to have a life of their own and began to twist and proliferate wildly.
In an instant, Sima Lei was wrapped like a rice dumpling by bloody bones.
These white bones shrank inwards rapidly, obviously trying to squeeze Sima Lei into meat paste!
"How brave!"
The Five Immortals Patriarch was furious when he saw this. He was still hoping to extract more information from Sima Lei, so how could he let him die like this?
Fortunately, before he could make a move, Sima Lei himself changed.
With a "whoosh", Sima Lei turned into a pool of yellow mud and crawled out from the gap in the bone cage.
After a quick gathering, Sima Lei regained his human form, but it was strangely shaped, like a mud monster.
It turned out that in order to reach a cooperation with Master Zhaogu, he and Master Zhaogu signed a spiritual contract with each other, one of the clauses of which was that the existence of a first-grade strange poison in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave must not be revealed to a third person.
It was obvious that after Sima Lei yelled in order to save his life, he had violated the spiritual contract.
So Master Zhaogu directly activated the ban and killed Sima Lei.
However, Sima Lei had actually already thought about how to deal with the consequences of violation long before the spiritual contract was signed, so he was able to get away so quickly.
However, his bones were affected by the Law of White Bones, and now even if he took bone-growing pills, they would not grow.
There was no other way. He could only use his immortal energy to support his body, which made him look like a half-human, half-ghost now.
Although Sima Lei looked scary, his strength was at most damaged, but his life was not in danger.
This was exactly what the Five Immortals wanted, so the Poison Dao Daluo immediately changed his target and ordered the giant toad to leap forward and press down on it.
At the same time, the giant snake closest to him opened its mouth and spit out two blades, shooting towards Master Zhaogu's chest.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan, Hua Snake and Golden Rhino King all abandoned him just like they had abandoned Sima Lei before.
When Master Zhaogu saw that the situation was not good, he inserted his hands between his ribs, broke off two ribs, and swung at the two blades that were shooting at him at high speed.
As soon as the two touched in the air, the two ribs that had been specially refined by Master Zhaogu were shattered into bone powder.
Fortunately, the two blade edges were also destroyed, which solved half of the crisis.
Then, Zhenren Zhaogu quickly made hand gestures, causing the white bones between his eyebrows to flash with dazzling magic light, which immediately caused a series of white bone temples to appear behind him.
"The Avenue of Bones!"
Seeing that the Green Spirit Toad of Desire Water was about to fall, Zhenren Zhaogu shouted loudly, raised his right arm violently, and a huge white bone arm rose into the sky from the White Bone Pavilion.
He actually activated the power of the Avenue of Bones at this moment, which made the power of the law emanating from the bone arm extremely terrifying, and even had the momentum to overwhelm the Desire Water Green Spirit Toad!
However, the Five Immortals Patriarch did not take any countermeasures when he saw this. He just sneered and uttered the word "explode".
Suddenly, a copper-green demon flower exploded in the palm of his right hand, and the blooming petals immediately swept down, corroding the entire forearm of Master Zhaogu!
"you!"
This sudden change instantly interrupted Master Zhaogu's spell. The white bone arm he condensed shook for a moment and then scattered into countless broken bones.
The next moment, the Desire Water Green Spirit Toad smashed down and directly suppressed it above the sea.
Looking at the face of Master Zhaogu, which was gradually covered with copper rust and sores, the Five Immortals Patriarch spoke calmly:
"If you like to mix physical strength with your magical powers, don't blame me for following the clues and poisoning you."
It turned out that Master Zhaogu really thought that he was the winner and did not know the existence of King Golden Rhino, so he used all his strength in that bone sickle.
But he didn't expect that in such a critical situation, the Five Immortals still had the time to poison him secretly.
This mistake directly led to the easy suppression of Master Zhaogu.
However, the Five Immortals Patriarch did not stop there. He urged the Green Spirit Toad of Desire Water to spit out its long tongue, and was about to roll out the Nascent Soul of True Man Zhaogu!
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Sima Lei's voice suddenly sounded, and he actually stopped the Five Immortals who were about to completely destroy Zhenren Zhaogu.
The long tongue immediately stopped near his dantian. The Five Immortals Patriarch looked at Sima Lei in confusion and said:
"He just wanted to kill you, why did you save him?"
"I can't even protect myself, how can I be qualified to save others?
But if one person can obtain that rare poison, why should I cooperate with him?
I think the Five Immortals have already guessed that the poisonous spirit is the key to entering that place, and if you want to get the treasure, the more Daluo participate, the higher the chance of success! "
Sima Lei tilted his mouth and explained the reason, his voice sounded very strange.
"Oh? Is it such a coincidence? You didn't say that on purpose to save your life, did you?"
The Five Immortals Patriarch narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, but was somewhat unconvinced.
After all, there could be other reasons for cooperation, but if this was the real reason, then he couldn't kill anyone right now.
The original plan of the Five Immortals was to leave only Sima Lei behind, and to kill Zhaogu and Jinxi if possible.
As for Zhu Yan and Hua She, these two Taiyi juniors must be from prominent backgrounds to have such strength. He has not yet decided how to deal with them.
Of course, if they insist on blocking our way without any clear intention, the Five Immortals will not hesitate to take action.
"Haha, fellow Five Immortals, don't forget that I am the Lord of the Immortal Prison and know many secrets, so my soul is protected by the prohibitions of the Heavenly Court.
If you want to get that rare poison, you must at least agree to my two conditions now, otherwise there will be no chance of getting any information from me!"
Sima Lei said with a firm attitude that he knew very well that the information he knew was his life-saving talisman, and he must not hand it over before getting enough chips!
The Five Immortals felt a headache when they heard this. The Immortal Prison was also very famous in the immortal world. In the past, when the Heavenly Court invaded the Demon Realm, the Immortal Prison was the existence that the demon cultivators were terrified of.
To this day, there is still a saying circulating in the Demon Realm: It is better to die in battle than go to jail!
Precisely because of this understanding, the Five Immortals Patriarch knew that what Sima Lei said was true and that it was impossible to search his soul.
The methods in the Immortal Prison to make the cultivators' life worse than death are much more abundant than what he has mastered, so it is not a good idea to use this to force Sima Lei.
So after pondering for a while, the Five Immortals Patriarch spoke in a deep voice:
"Let's talk and listen."
"First, you must sign a spiritual contract with me, agreeing that you will release me after the matter is completed, and you are not allowed to use any means in secret, let alone destroy my path."
Sima Lei said immediately.
"Yes, as long as you can get that rare poison for me, I will forgive you for what happened before."
The Five Immortals Patriarch agreed immediately.
He is just a defeated general, so just let him go.
"Secondly, that strange poison has been refined since ancient times, so the amount must be quite large. I only ask for a small bottle, and I hope that fellow Taoist Wuxian will agree!"
Sima Lei struck while the iron was hot and put forward a second condition.
"No! That first-grade rare poison belongs to me, not a drop can be lost!"
Upon hearing this, the Five Immortals Patriarch refused without even a second thought.
“Fellow Daoist, please don’t refuse so quickly. I am not a Poison Daoist cultivator. I came here naturally to carry out the mission of the Heavenly Court.
Anyway, I don’t need much, so why don’t you do me a favor? Otherwise, I’m afraid there will be endless trouble in the future.”
Sima Lei sighed and spoke as if he was considering the Five Immortal Ancestors.
As soon as these words were spoken, the word "Taoist Ancestor" immediately flashed through the Five Immortal Ancestor's soul.
Even though the Demon Realm has the Demon Emperor, the supreme Taoist ancestor, he can only be suppressed in a corner of the Immortal Realm, which shows how powerful the Heavenly Court is.
If possible, the Five Immortals Patriarch certainly would not want to be targeted by the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, even if he could obtain a first-grade rare poison, he would not be able to enjoy it.
So, after hesitating for a moment, the Five Immortals Patriarch finally did not say anything final.
"Whether I can give you a bottle or not, you have to wait until I see the real thing before I can make a decision, but I can guarantee that you will not return empty-handed."
"Thank you for your understanding. Without further delay, please open the seal of the Cliff of Absolute Lovelessness."
Sima Lei did not continue to insist, and immediately showed an attitude of willingness to cooperate.
The Five Immortals Patriarch nodded, and then with a sharp glance, he fixed his eyes on the Golden Rhino King and said coldly:
"Fellow Daoist Jinxi, why are you hiding so far away? Didn't you hear that we need your help here as well?"
Now that Master Zhaogu has been suppressed and Sima Lei has surrendered with a half-crippled body, King Jinxi is already unable to stand alone and naturally dares not defy the Five Immortal Ancestors.
So he laughed and turned into a giant man with a big belly and small eyes, then flew towards the Five Immortals Patriarch while saying:
“Although I was the one who offended you before, it was because of Fellow Daoist Sima’s instructions. I myself have no idea about that first-grade strange poison.
If you don't mind, I will help you once as an apology."
"As long as Fellow Daoist Jinxi is willing to cooperate, I will naturally not commit more murders."
The Five Immortals took a look at the hideous scar on the belly of the Golden Rhino King. Although he made a promise, he had already decided in his heart to leave it as it is if possible.
After all, the essence and blood of the Daluo Demon Beast is extremely powerful, which is just right for him to use to refine poison!
"That's fine, that's fine."
King Golden Rhino seemed relieved when he heard this, and the smile on his face became more obvious.
At the same time, Zhu Yan and Hua She came up to the Five Immortal Ancestors on their own initiative without being called, and bowed together.
"Senior, I'll wait."
"Stop, I don't want to know who you belong to.
Besides, we haven’t even started yet, so now is not the time for you to win over me for the people behind the scenes.”
The Five Immortals Patriarch has more or less guessed the identities of the two at this moment, but no matter how many promises the other one makes to him, he will not pay attention to them now. After all, there will only be more after the matter is accomplished!
"The juniors will definitely help the seniors with all their strength!"
Zhu Yan and Hua She looked at each other and immediately saluted.
"Well, follow me."
Seeing that he had the situation under complete control, the Five Immortals nodded with satisfaction and flew towards the flesh membrane leading to the Cliff of Jueqing.
When he was a hundred feet away, he flipped his palm and took out a token engraved with the words "Five Immortals" and raised it into the air.
The next moment, three circles of array patterns with a diameter of a thousand feet appeared on the flesh membrane, overlapping and fitting together, but without affecting each other.
With a "whoosh" sound, the token was sucked to the center of the array and embedded deeply into it.
Suddenly, one of the circles of array patterns began to rotate, and a copper-green light gate slowly opened.
"You go in first."
After all, it was he who had set up the ban, so the Five Immortals opened the portal without much effort, and then gave instructions to Sima Lei and others.
No one dared to disobey, and they all flew into the light gate.
After confirming that there was no one else around, the Five Immortals retracted their magical powers, leaving only the Desire Water Green Spirit Toad, and ordered it to use its long tongue to roll up the immobilized Zhaogu Zhenren, and escape into the light gate together.
After a few breaths, there was a "splash" sound, and a double-tailed purple crystal scorpion broke out of the sea. It opened its mouth and spit out two human figures.
"Brother Luo, let's take this opportunity to leave here quickly."
Sima Lei had already been defeated, and Song Yaoguang didn't want to continue competing with these Daluo monks in battle of wits and courage.
