Chapter 604 Chase
"The distance is too far, and the soul tablet has no reaction at all!" When several demon lords of the Qingyi royal family found a stopover point of Lu Yuan in the mountains and used the secret technique again to find Qing Huan's location, they found that the technique had failed.
"Damn it! Those two thieves escaped again! How on earth did they appear thousands of miles away in such a short period of time?" An old man with red hair and beard stomped the black cane in his hand and roared in anger.
"Elder Qingyu, you have fought with that man before. Can you find any subtle clues from him?" Another demon lord, whose body was completely black and whose face was difficult to identify, coldly asked the demon lord who had fought with Lu Yuan.
“The realm that man displayed was only the late stage of the Demon Sect. However, when he fought with me, he relied entirely on two powerful treasures. One of them might even be a Xuantian magic weapon. So it was difficult for me to determine his identity based on his magical powers at that time.” The Demon Lord named Qingyu responded with a look of shame on his face.
But after a slight hesitation, Qing Yu spoke again: "But that person was able to transform into an ancient mountain giant, so maybe he was from the Stone Demon clan."
"The Stone Demon Clan? Then everything makes sense. There is a kind of magical power in their clan that can use the Stone Lun Totem to teleport over a hundred thousand miles away at a time." The Dark Demon Lord said with a gloomy face.
“That’s right. This person can appear in different places tens of thousands of miles away one after another. I guess he used this magical power. But the Stone Demon Clan has many branches in the Holy Realm. It’s really difficult to determine which branch that person is from.” The red-haired old man also said in agreement.
"Hmph! This is not difficult. This person's cultivation is in the late stage of the Demon Sect, and he is very likely to possess the Xuantian Magic Weapon. Those who can meet these two points at the same time must come from those larger branches. We will investigate one by one and we will be able to find him out! Anyone who dares to kill the Holy Son of our clan must not be forgiven easily!" The Demon Lord whose descendants were killed by Lu Yuan said gritting his teeth.
"Well, but this matter should not be made public, otherwise not only will the reputation of our clan be ruined, but it will also alert the enemy. Let's go back to the clan and send people to investigate secretly. Once we have the results, we will concentrate our forces to go to the door to ask for an explanation." The Dark Demon Lord analyzed calmly.
This proposal was agreed by most people, so after these demon lords whispered for a few words on the spot, they finally turned around and returned the same way.
At this time, Lu Yuan had already left the area where the Qingyi royal family was. He casually dug out a piece of flesh from the Qingluan corpse and prepared to send Qinghuan away.
However, Qing Huan was unwilling to leave and expressed his desire to stay with Lu Yuan.
He has now become a traitor to the Qingyi royal family, and will be hunted down by the Qingyi royal family in the future. After seeing Lu Yuan's magical powers, he feels that if he follows Lu Yuan, he may still have a chance of survival.
Lu Yuan was quite helpless. On the one hand, he didn't want to bring along a troublesome burden, and on the other hand, he had many secrets that could not be known by outsiders. He even wanted to kill Qing Huan at one point.
At this critical moment, Qing Huan proposed to let Lu Yuan plant a restriction in his soul. If Lu Yuan noticed that Qing Huan was doing something wrong, he could destroy his soul with just a thought.
After Lu Yuan thought about it for a while, he felt that if Qing Huan could sincerely follow him, he might be of some use, so he agreed.
In the days that followed, after Lu Yuan's body had almost recovered, he continued to escape for half a year with the help of the Shilun Totem. He finally settled down in a place tens of millions of miles away from the Qingyi royal family, and began to refine Qingluan's body into the sixth transformation.
At the same time, the Qingyi Royal Family expended a large amount of manpower and resources and finally locked their targets on several larger Stone Demon branches, including the Stone Demon ancestral land where Shi Xiao and his group were, and they also listed Shi Man as a suspect.
After further investigation, the members of the Qingyi royal family met with the chief elder of the Stone Demon Ancestral Land, Shi Man's father. After the two sides communicated, they were all shocked.
"Since that man and Fellow Daoist Shi also have a grudge for killing each other's sons, why don't we work together and use all the strength of both clans to track him down. How can a junior in the middle stage of the Demon Sect like him really cause trouble?" The Demon Lord of the Qingyi Royal Family suggested.
"That's exactly what I meant!" The Stone Demon Elder agreed immediately.
So, under the promotion of the two, the Stone Demon Ancestral Land and the Blue Wing Royal Family began to track down Lu Yuan's news with all their strength, and even spared no expense to unite other branches of the two clans to assist.
In this way, more than eighty years later, they finally found Qing Huan's trace.
Afterwards, Qing Lie's Demon Lord ancestor personally went and invited the Stone Demon Clan's Great Elder to go along as well.
However, several years later, the Demon Lord of the Green Wing Royal Family returned to his residence seriously injured and informed the elders of other clans of a shocking news.
The great elder of the Stone Demon Ancestral Land was killed!
"What! The great elder of the Stone Demon Clan is a mid-stage Demon Lord. How could he be killed by a mid-stage Demon Sect junior!" An elder seemed to have heard a fairy tale.
“That man is no longer in the middle stage of the Demon Sect. I don’t know how he cultivated. In just over eighty years, he has already stepped into the realm of the Venerable.” The Demon Venerable said with a gloomy face.
"Even so, the gap between us and you is not small. In the end, one of you died and another was injured. It's really shocking." Another person's face was full of disbelief.
"The main thing is that after this person obtained Qing Lie's true blood, I don't know what method he used, but he was able to evolve into Qing Luan's true body and display the magical power of 'one breath, ten thousand miles'. We can't catch up with him at all.
The most important thing is that this person is extremely cunning. He even deliberately revealed his whereabouts from time to time, and led the two of us to the Linhai Frost Plain intermittently."
"Linhai Frost Plain, the place connected to the Burning Frost Realm?" An elder with red hair and beard couldn't help but gasp.
“Yes, and the weird thing is that he seemed to be unaffected by the power of the other world inside, and he also set a trap with the Scale-Destroying Pearl, severely injuring the two of us.
From then on, he became the host and started hunting us down.
Although we were seriously injured, after escaping from the forest and frost plain, we thought that without the suppression of the power from the other world, we would be able to kill the guy with the advantage of our realm.
Who would have thought that he would use several treasures in succession that were as powerful as the Xuantian Magic Weapon and directly kill the Great Elder of the Stone Demon Clan!
If I hadn't taken advantage of his weakened magic power to quickly escape, I would have had no chance to escape back to my clan." The demon lord said with lingering fear.
"Since you knew that he was not very powerful, why didn't you take advantage of the opportunity to capture him, but instead ran away!" A demon lord who was covered in black and had an unrecognizable face said with some dissatisfaction.
"Humph, that man is extremely cunning. How can I know whether he really has no magical power or he deliberately set a trap to lure me into it." The injured Demon Lord defended himself, his eyes still revealing his fear of Lu Yuan.
