Chapter 592: Dan Fire
In the Nine Formation Diagram, as Lu Ye's long sword fell, the body of the fox demon was separated, and its vitality was completely shattered.
He took a long breath, shook off the blood on the Panshan sword, relaxed his mind, and staggered slightly.
The battle with the fox demon was not too dangerous, mainly because the mental power was consumed too much in a short period of time, which made him feel a little tired.
There were scars all over his body, but none of them were broken. With his physique, it would not be difficult to recover.
"Yiyi, what's the situation outside?" Lu Ye asked.
Logically speaking, the fox demon died, and according to the soul secret technique she planted, it should be self-destructing, but he couldn't be sure if it was not the case.
Yiyi's voice soon came into his ears: "Everyone has returned to normal, but several monks from Wanmo Ridge ran away at the first time, including Xia Liang and Tan Sheng."
"The dog thing reacted quickly!" Lu Ye gritted his teeth secretly.
Originally, he planned to kill Tan Sheng and Xia Liang after killing the fox demon. Although he had been practicing with Xia Liang during this period, he never forgot the hatred between them.
If he had not been put into the Nine Formation Diagram, he could have intervened in the battlefield immediately after killing the fox demon, but he was inside the Nine Formation Diagram, and he could not control the situation outside.
Xia Liang and Tan Sheng knew the wolf pack. After all, they had suffered a great loss in the spiritual land before, so the first thing they did after getting rid of the control of the fox demon was to escape far away.
If the two of them were in the ninth level and were determined to escape, the wolf pack really had no good way.
Although he felt a little regretful, he could only accept it.
Lu Ye took a few steps forward and walked to the body of the fox demon. He fumbled on the body for a while and found a storage bag.
This was the storage bag of the fox demon. He had always worn it on his body. Now that he was dead, it naturally became Lu Ye's trophy.
Lu Ye didn't know how many good things she had. The only thing he knew was that there was a demon pill of a dominant demon beast in it. The demon pill she got from killing the violent giant ape before was stored in her storage bag.
This is a rare good thing in a hundred years.
Since ancient times, there have been few precedents of killing the dominant monsters on the Yunhe battlefield. Just look at the actions of Fox Fairy Valley this time. If the cultivators form a group to deal with it, it is impossible to succeed without a lineup of two or three hundred people, and it will also be accompanied by huge losses. It is simply not worth the loss.
Therefore, the cultivators generally do not take the initiative to provoke the dominant monsters on the Yunhe battlefield, let alone kill them.
This time, the violent giant ape was killed because the fox demon was driven by hatred, and the cultivators were planted with the secret art of the soul by her, and they were fearless of death. There were also many formations arranged in advance by Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan.
Such a demon pill of a dominant monster, just holding it in his hand, Lu Ye can feel the vigorous power in it, and it will be of great benefit to let Amber swallow and refine it.
The spoils of war are naturally more than this.
Lu Ye reached out and covered the body of the fox demon again, silently inspected for a moment, raised the Panshan knife and stabbed it, and a moment later, another demon pill was taken out.
This is the demon pill of the fox demon. Although it is not as valuable as the demon pill of the overlord-level demon beast, it is also very valuable.
After wiping off the blood on the demon pill, Lu Ye looked at the demon pill in his hand and was slightly stunned.
The demon pill is only the size of a baby's fist, showing a strange pink color, with a faint light blooming on it, as if a flame is burning.
Is this... pill fire?
Pill fire is not the flame used for alchemy, but the inner pill of the fire-attributed demon beast. Lu Ye had bought a lot of them in the Tianji Treasury before, and they were all swallowed by the talent tree.
Thinking about it carefully, this fox demon activated the fox fire that could shake his mind when fighting with him, and it can indeed be regarded as a fire-attributed demon beast.
In the Tianji Treasury, the prices of various pill fires are different, there are hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of merits, and there is also a strange fire called extreme cold ice flame, which is worth a full 180,000 merits.
I don't know how much this fox demon pill in my hand costs, but it shouldn't be too expensive.
Since it is a pill fire, it can naturally be swallowed.
Lu Ye's mind moved, and several roots grew on the talent tree, probing into the invisible space. The next moment, the luster of the pill fire in his hand quickly dimmed, and the energy in it was swallowed by the talent tree.
Immersing his mind to check the changes in the talent tree, this was just a habit. Lu Ye didn't expect that a demon pill would make too much change in the talent tree, but what surprised him was that as the energy in the demon pill was swallowed, a leaf on the upper part of the talent tree suddenly reacted, and burned at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Unlike the blazing flames burning on other leaves, this leaf burned the same pink color as the fox demon's demon pill.
This was the first time Lu Ye encountered such a thing, and he was stunned for a moment.
After a while, the energy of the demon pill in his hand was exhausted and turned into dust. There was a leaf burning with pink flames on the talent tree, which stood out from the crowd.
Lu Ye had a vague feeling that he seemed to have underestimated the value of the fox demon's demon pill.
After all, it was the demon pill of the six-tailed celestial fox, and it could not be taken lightly. Just from the fact that it could make the talent tree produce such changes, it was known that the demon pill was extremely valuable.
Lu Ye suppressed his doubts and did not immediately check the information contained in the burning leaves.
Now he was injured, his mental power was seriously depleted, and there were many things waiting for him to deal with outside, so he could not delay.
"Yiyi!" Lu Ye called softly.
Yiyi understood and urged the power of the Nine Formation Diagram. The next moment, Lu Ye's figure was expelled from the Nine Formation Diagram.
Just as he stood firm, Amber rushed over from the side and squatted on his shoulder.
Amber was so smart that when the fox demon enslaved the giant armor, it jumped off Lu Ye and hid far away, fearing that it would also be enslaved by the fox demon.
There was no sound of fighting around, and many demon wolves were quietly guarding by the side. The remaining cultivators in Fox Fairy Valley also gathered together, and everyone's face was full of sorrow.
When they were enslaved by the fox demon, they did not think that their behavior was wrong, but when the fox demon died and the soul secret technique was broken, the experience of these years immediately came to their minds, and everyone asked themselves: What am I doing?
Especially Xie Yunhan, who stayed in Fox Fairy Valley for twelve years, completely cut off contact with his master and relatives, and did not make much progress in his own cultivation, wasting time in vain.
Although the others did not stay as long as Xie Yunhan, they had at least one or two years. Thinking of the days in Fox Fairy Valley, they were all ashamed.
Seeing Lu Ye appear, everyone surrounded him.
"Daoyou Lu." Zhou Yuntian, covered in blood, bowed to Lu Ye and asked nervously, "Is the fox demon...dead?"
Although they knew the fox demon must be dead the moment the soul secret technique was broken, they were still not sure before getting the answer.
The psychological shadow caused by the fox demon was too great.
"The fox demon has been killed by me, fellow Daoists don't have to worry." Lu Ye said. Not only was it killed, but the demon pill was swallowed by the talent tree. I don't know if I can get any new spiritual patterns.
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and their nervous expressions were obviously relaxed. Zhou Yuntian bowed again: "We are trapped in prison and deceived by the fox demon without knowing it. This time, thanks to Daoyou Lu for rescuing us, this kindness is tantamount to rebirth. If Daoyou has any instructions in the future, we dare not disobey."
Others also bowed solemnly and thanked him one after another.
Lu Ye returned the greeting: "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to do this. I was just saving myself, but unfortunately, many Daoists lost their lives in the end."
Xie Yunhan sighed: "It's fate, and it's great that Brother Lu can save us."
Although everyone didn't know how Lu Ye had the ability to command such a wolf pack to help, even if the wolf pack was strong and numerous, it might not be able to do anything when facing the power of Fox Fairy Valley at its peak.
Lu Ye chose to fight a bloody battle with the violent giant ape in Fox Fairy Valley before taking action, which was undoubtedly the wisest choice. Moreover, when the demon wolves besieged them before, they obviously received orders in advance to surround them but not kill them. Otherwise, there would be few people who could still stand here now.
"Anyway, we finally got rid of the control of the fox demon. This is a blessing. You don't have to be so sad anymore. Think about your master, think about your brothers and sisters, and we don't have to be slaves anymore." Zhou Yuntian said.
Someone said quietly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, now that you mention this... I miss home."
Everyone suddenly fell silent, with homesickness in their eyes. In Fox Fairy Valley, no one dared to send messages to the outside world under the order of the fox demon. Over the years, the relatives and friends of the cultivators in Fox Fairy Valley have been looking for them and sending messages to them... Previously, they were controlled by the fox demon, so they didn't think it mattered. Now that they were free from control, the tsunami-like homesickness immediately surged up.
"Then... go home?" someone whispered softly.
Zhou Yuntian raised his arm and shouted, "If you don't go back now, when will you go back?"
Once the longing surged up, it was no longer under control. Everyone couldn't wait to return to their own sect, their hometown, and talk to their long-lost family members about the pain of separation.
"Go home!" someone shouted.
For a while, the crowd was excited.
Zhou Yuntian turned to look at Lu Ye: "What are your plans, Fellow Daoist Lu?"
Lu Ye thought for a moment: "My senior brother and I have just entered the Yunhe battlefield not long ago, so we will not return for the time being. Besides, I am still injured and need to rest for a while. Fellow Daoists, please do as you please."
Zhou Yuntian wanted to persuade Lu Ye to leave with them. After all, this is deep in Taimang Mountain, and there are many powerful monsters. Suddenly, he remembered that Lu Ye was guarded by a wolf pack and there was no possibility of any danger. He said nothing more and nodded: "In this case, Fellow Daoist Lu, take care. If you need help in the future, just call me."
Everyone said goodbye to Lu Ye and exchanged battlefield marks with him.
After a while, many cultivators took off their weapons and left quickly under the eyes of Lu Ye, Li Baxian and others. They were a group of people, all of whom had good cultivation. As long as they did not encounter a dominant monster, there would be basically no danger.
Almost at the same time when Zhou Yuntian and others left, Lu Ye suddenly felt strange in his heart. It seemed that something fell from the sky and landed on him, and the back of his hand felt slightly hot.
