Chapter 759: Demon Night

Chapter 758 Demon Night

The sun set in the west, and night descended.

Refining Demon Mountain shed the colorful evening glow, no longer bright and clear, becoming deep and oppressive.

The night wind was bleak and cold, ground insects and snakes moved, and occasionally there were low growls of demon beasts, indicating unknown dangers hidden in the dark night.

Fortunately, Xun Zi You was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Mo Cai followed behind him, and the journey was uneventful.

The two used their body techniques, covered by the dark night, and once again came to the depths of the dense forest, where a blood stream babbled and white bones formed a beach.

It was currently the Xu hour (9-11 PM), the moonlight was like ice, scattering on the white bone beach, making it strangely eerie and cold.

But there were still no traces of demon cultivators nearby.

The two waited nearby.

They waited until the Hai hour (9-11 PM), when a demon wind suddenly arose, and a strong smell of blood spread.

Mo Cai, squatting on the tree, looked down and saw gloomy black shadows appearing one by one within the dense forest under the cover of a spiritual path array.

These black shadows, wrapped in black robes, looked like humans or demons, some standing on two feet, some crawling on four limbs, emerging from the darkness of the dense forest, gathering one after another at the edge of the white bone beach.

Under the icy moonlight, they looked like evil spirits crawled out of hell, making people fearful.

After a while, another group of demon cultivators arrived.

These demon cultivators either dragged, carried, or shouldered the blood-dripping corpses or limbs of demon beasts.

These demon beasts seemed to have been freshly hunted.

They threw these demon beasts onto the white bone beach.

A group of demon cultivators then used the stream water to begin gnawing on the flesh of these demon beasts.

The scene was extremely bloody.

Xun Zi You felt a bit uncomfortable, turned his head, and looked at Mo Cai.

Mo Cai’s expression was as usual, as if he had expected this scene or was already accustomed to all this.

Xun Zi You found it a bit unbelievable.

This child... how could he be so calm?

Could it be that he had seen even bloodier, more cruel, or more "demonic" scenes?

What had he experienced at such a young age?

Just as Xun Zi You was surprised, he suddenly discovered that the Taixu Order had moved. He sank his divine sense in and saw Mo Cai sending him a message:

"Elder Xun, let's change places, we can eavesdrop."

Xun Zi You was startled, looked up, and saw Mo Cai giving him a look, then pointing his head to the other side.

There was a taller tree on the other side.

Under the tree were three demon cultivators, who seemed to have eaten and drunk their fill. They had shed their demonization and turned into human form, gathered together in black robes, chatting about something unknown.

Xun Zi You was a bit stunned.

This child, it's probably not his first day eavesdropping.

Looking at it, he's probably an experienced "eavesdropper"...

Xun Zi You sighed and nodded.

The two moved lightly, gently jumping from the top of the tree on this side to the branch of the tree on the other side.

As soon as they settled,

"It's hard to eat..."

"Demon beast meat is too tough, dry like firewood, too much effort to chew."

A demon cultivator, still chewing something in his mouth, said in a low voice like a fierce beast, "It would be good to have human meat to eat, human meat is tender..."

"Are you dreaming, in this Refining Demon Mountain, they are all sect disciples, how can you eat them?"

"It's not that you can't eat, just secretly... I just picked up a leak before, a disciple of some sect, who lost his way in the mountain forest. I took the opportunity to kill him, tore him apart alive and swallowed him. His skin and flesh are indeed much more delicious than demon beasts, and his bones are also much crisper..."

A demon cultivator rebuked, "Young Master said to act low-key, you cause less trouble."

"It doesn't matter, there's no one around, others don't know how he died."

In the noise, another voice said:

"It's a pity, it would be good to have female disciples, female disciples are more tender..."

A demon cultivator couldn't help but scold, "Damn it, do you want to eat them?"

Sinister, ear-piercing laughter rang out, "Play them to death first, then eat them, it's the same..."

When Xun Zi You heard this, killing intent instantly spread in his heart.

Mo Cai immediately pulled his sleeve.

Xun Zi You's expression paused, he bit his teeth and forcefully suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

"That's right, I mix in the mountain forest every day, eat demon meat, drink demon blood, rest like demon beasts. I've almost forgotten that I'm human..."

"...I've been trapped here for too long, if I don't vent, and find back some humanity, I'll really be the same as those demon beasts."

"It's no use."

A demon cultivator sneered, "From the moment you start cultivating demon skills, your humanity will start to extinguish, it's no use at all."

"Play with women?" He snorted coldly, "Not long after, no matter how beautiful women are, in your eyes they are just a lump of raw meat."

"What's in your mind is how to peel and swallow them alive, you won't have any other desires."

A demon cultivator next to him scolded him, "Damn it, you've gone too deep into demonization."

"Really a killjoy..."

"Don't mind him, he's been cultivating demon for a hundred years, he's long forgotten how to write the word 'human'."

The original demon cultivator sneered and said indifferently:

"Wait until you've also cultivated for a hundred years, then you'll know I'm right."

"Humans are also just a kind of demon beast, what male or female, beautiful or ugly, they are all just a lump of rotten meat, as long as they can be eaten, it fundamentally doesn't matter..."

And then these several demon cultivators chatted on this topic for a while.

After that, several other demon cultivators surrounded them.

The number increased, and the conversations were also more杂.

Mo Cai listened, feeling a bit chaotic.

After some time, finally a demon cultivator mentioned a word that Mo Cai cared about very much.

"Wan Yao Gu..."

A voice that was still relatively young, with heavy emotions in his words, as if the demonization was not deep and his humanity had not yet completely extinguished, a deep demon cultivator said:

"Two days later, we will enter Wan Yao Gu, and within one year, we won't be able to go out to hunt wild again."

"If you perform well inside, you will be released early to breathe."

"Although that's what they say, it's too boring inside the valley, it's smelly and stinky, every day is like a year."

"Okay," a demon cultivator said impatiently, "Less complaining, and less mentioning things about the valley."

"Young Master has granted us demon law and demon patterns, we also want to try our best to serve Young Master."

Mo Cai, who was eavesdropping on the tree, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Young Master again?

Which Young Master was this Young Master?

And it was a bit strange...

After these words were spoken, the other demon cultivators were obviously a bit awkward.

Even several demon cultivators, although silent and not speaking, and their appearance was not abnormal, Mo Cai seemed to be able to sense a trace of anger and unwillingness from their divine senses...

"Something's not right..."

Mo Cai's gaze slightly condensed.

After that, the atmosphere was a bit dull for a while, until several other demon cultivators came over, and then they started talking again.

However, these conversations were vague and intermittent.

Mo Cai listened for a long time and finally managed to piece together some key information from the fragmented words through speculation and deduction:

In the blood stream white bone ground, there was a Wan Yao Gu.

This Wan Yao Gu was the lair of all demon cultivators.

The entrance of the valley was sealed all year round, and the guard was extremely strict, opening only once a month.

There were extremely many demon cultivators inside the valley, who went out in batches to "hunt wild" - that is, to secretly hunt demon beasts in Refining Demon Mountain.

The hunted demon beasts would be processed according to their types.

Either as "rations" for demon cultivators, swallowed raw, skinned and boned, and thrown onto the white bone beach to refine the array;

Or they would be caught alive and sent into Wan Yao Gu, for unknown use...

And the white bone beach was indeed an array to draw evil.

As for what specific evil array it was, Mo Cai didn't overhear the answer.

Most of these demon cultivators were array blind, even if some had array attainments before, after becoming demon cultivators and eating so much raw demon meat, their brains were definitely broken, and there were probably not many left who could think normally.

He couldn't even understand the details of the array himself, so it was probably unrealistic to expect to hear it from their mouths.

But Mo Cai still heard some clues.

According to a demon cultivator, who said in a heavy voice:

"Unless it's the sixteenth of every month, when the moonlight is full, Wan Yao Gu opens, and the white bone path appears, otherwise no one, no demon, is allowed to enter the depths of that blood stream, and cannot enter the entrance of that Wan Yao Gu..."

"Once you commit this taboo and rashly step into the white bone ground, step into the depths of the blood stream, you will suffer a curse, your divine sense will be greatly lost, and you will go mad and die..."

This demon cultivator said it mystically.

Mo Cai also listened with confusion, but based on these words and his own cultivation experience, he could probably guess that the means laid in this white bone ground were mostly evil arrays related to evil spirits.

As for what specific evil array it was...

He was a proper array master, not walking crooked paths, and he wasn't sure for a while.

It was already the Hai hour at this time.

The blood stream was stinky, and white bones were dense.

Above was bleak and cold moonlight.

Mo Cai looked up, following the babbling blood stream to the distance, and indeed found a sinister, evil, and bloody profound aura in the distance, lurking in the darkness like a fierce beast.

"Wan Yao Gu..."

All secrets should be hidden inside.

But now the problem was, how to enter this Wan Yao Gu?

Or, there was no need to consider how to get in, just let Elder Xun call people and start directly killing from the outside?

Mo Cai frowned and thought.

Just at this moment, two demon cultivators sneaked away from the "crowd" and headed into the dense forest.

Mo Cai was startled, then looked at Xun Zi You.

Xun Zi You had obviously also discovered them.

Their gazes met, and they nodded, understanding each other's intentions. Then they moved together, shuttling through the forest, quietly following those two sinners.

Xun Zi You was a Golden Core cultivator, so tracking two Foundation Establishment demon cultivators was naturally easy.

But he turned his head and saw that Mo Cai, who was only a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator, was also experienced in doing this. He left no traces, made no sound, and his body was light, as if he had merged with the dark night.

Even if he didn't pay attention, he almost ignored him.

Xun Zi You was slightly surprised and immediately confirmed in his heart.

This clever child definitely didn't do less "bad things"...

However, since Mo Cai was so skilled and could follow his steps, Xun Zi You also felt relieved.

Those two demon cultivators left the demon group and walked further and further, silently all the way, until they were "alone" and then whispered.

"...Is this really okay?"

"What's not okay? Do you want to stay in that disgusting valley for a lifetime?"

"But..."

"Don't worry, I already have arrangements..."

One of the taller demon cultivators lowered his voice and said hoarsely:

"I'm from Yan Shui City. The Jin family disciple we're looking after has some ties to my father's generation and will turn a blind eye..."

"As long as we fake our deaths, we can leave this bitter sea."

"Someone inside the valley will cover for us."

Another younger demon cultivator was still a bit hesitant.

The tall demon cultivator said, "Think about it, as long as we get out, with our abilities, we can casually find a demon sect or magic sect to join. We can eat what we want, have women, and don't need to live in this mountain like livestock. Isn't that carefree?"

The young demon cultivator was indeed moved.

He had only been cultivating demon skills for a short time.

Just a while ago, he was still a genius disciple expected by his family, originally thinking that he could rely on his own efforts to gain a place among the sect disciples.

He wanted to prove that he was not much worse than those real, prodigies from big families.

But he didn't know how, he just fell to this step.

In the eyes of his parents and family, he was already "dead".

But in Refining Demon Mountain, he was still alive, living like a demon thing that could not see the light, neither human nor ghost.

Even now, recalling it, he was a bit bewildered.

He didn't even know how he had stepped by step, just fallen to this point...

It was like a sudden "nightmare" that he could never wake up from.

He had changed from a person to a demon who ate raw meat and drank blood.

And one step wrong, he could never recover.

"Since I can't recover, I should at least find a way to leave this bitter sea first..."

The young demon cultivator thought in his heart, then his tone became a bit earnest, "Brother Zhao, I beg you, help me, and I will surely follow your lead in the future, I will do whatever you say."

The tall demon cultivator was very satisfied.

"Just..." the young demon cultivator asked in a low voice, "Exactly, how should we get out?"

Mo Cai was also very confused.

Refining Demon Mountain was sealed.

These demon cultivators were full of demon qi, trapped in the mountain, how could they leave the mountain gate?

The tall demon cultivator's voice was extremely low.

"This matter, I will secretly tell you, you absolutely cannot leak it..."

The young demon cultivator's expression was solemn, and he leaned his ear over. The two people's voices were almost inaudibly low.

Mo Cai lay on the big tree, habitually leaning down, wanting to get closer and listen to what they were saying.

But he only leaned halfway when he heard the tall demon cultivator sternly shout: "Who?!"

Mo Cai was startled.

"Discovered?"

Not right...

Since his divine sense had undergone qualitative change, his divine thoughts were even more powerful, and he had learned the Small Five Elements Concealment Technique, his concealment methods were exquisite, and his tracking experience was also richer and richer.

He was always accurate when stalking and watching.

He had never been discovered by anyone before.

Was this demon cultivator's perception actually so keen?

Mo Cai immediately became fully alert, thinking of preparing to make a move to restrain this demon cultivator, then hiding behind Elder Xun and letting Elder Xun solve this trouble for him.

But before he could stand up, the tall demon cultivator pointed his hand.

He pointed not at Mo Cai, but at a somewhat empty direction behind the young demon cultivator, and said with a heavy expression: "Someone!"

That young demon cultivator was indeed young and really unguarded. He turned his body and looked in the direction of the tall demon cultivator's finger.

The moment he turned his body, he realized what was happening.

But it was already too late.

Mo Cai could clearly see a scarlet blood light flash in the dark night.

The tall demon cultivator's hand palm demonized into sharp claws, condensing his demon power to the extreme, and then, with a foul wind, instantly pierced through the young demon cultivator's back.

His chest was pierced, his heart was torn, the young demon cultivator's expression was shocked, and then boundless anger surged up.

He wanted to take revenge on that tall demon cultivator.

Even if he died, he wanted to tear off a piece of flesh.

But he was severely injured and on the verge of death, fundamentally not an opponent.

After only a few rounds of struggle, both of his arms were broken, and his abdomen was also pierced by the tall demon cultivator. Blood dripped onto the ground, and he died thoroughly.

The tall demon cultivator licked the blood on his arm, looked coldly at the corpse on the ground, and said sarcastically:

"Don't look at yourself, what kind of person are you?"

"Although you are also from a family, compared to those real prodigies and young masters, are you worthy?"

"What kind of person dares to look down on others."

"Yes, your talent is not bad, but so what?"

"You have an empty body of pride, but no brain. You see people who can't climb up, and you still don't know how to bow your head."

"If you don't die, who will?"

The young demon cultivator died coldly on the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with grievance.

The tall demon cultivator began to strip off his black robe, "Kill you, take you as a cushion, and I can go out."

Saying that, he smiled sinisterly again, "Don't blame your brother for not being righteous. Although you are dead, am I not still alive?"

"Although life is three hundred years, after I go out, I will enjoy these three hundred years of blessings for you, and after I finish enjoying them, your brother will go down and apologize to you."

"You don't die with grievance..."

He reached out and wanted to close the young demon cultivator's eyes, but no matter how many times he closed them, they wouldn't close.

"Damn it, you won't drink the toast but have to drink the penalty wine."

The tall demon cultivator became angry, tore with force, and tore the young demon cultivator's two eyeballs into a bloody mess.

Blood flowed down his eye sockets, like tears of blood.

"Damn unlucky!"

The tall demon cultivator snorted coldly, spat, and just as he turned around, he saw an irresistible white sword light flash in the dark night.

His entire arm was cut off like rotten mud.

Demon blood sprayed out.

A blank expression floated on his face.

Before he could react, another sword light flashed over, cutting off one of his legs.

The tall demon cultivator immediately knelt on the ground, his eyes revealing horror. Just as he wanted to crawl up with effort, a slender cultivator appeared in front of him.

Xun Zi You, his face ashen and his eyes filled with anger, pointed a finger.

A surge of vast Golden Core sword qi, containing sword intent, surged out, twisting the tall demon cultivator into a mass of injuries.

The pressure of the sword qi suppressed this demon cultivator on the ground.

The demon cultivator prostrated himself and could not get up, his face was ashen, and he had already lost the will to resist.

Xun Zi You did not use his full strength, but in less than three rounds, he still completely suppressed this tall demon cultivator.

Mo Cai nodded very satisfied.

His "bodyguard" was really fierce.

"Speak!" Xun Zi You's face was like frost, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is your identity?"

"Who did you say was the Young Master?"

"And how do you plan to leave Refining Demon Mountain?"

But that demon cultivator grinned, revealing a mouth full of blood, but did not answer.

Mo Cai frowned, suddenly his expression became stern, and he said:

"He's transmitting a message!"

Mo Cai's words had not yet fallen, and Xun Zi You also immediately realized. He drew a finger, and a bright white sword light appeared.

The tall demon cultivator's other arm was also cut off.

Intense pain came, and this demon cultivator couldn't help but roar, but before he could roar out, he was forcibly locked at the throat by Xun Zi You with Golden Core spiritual power.

Mo Cai then pinched his fair fingers and picked up a communication talisman soaked in blood from a pool of blood.

It was a communication talisman.

Mo Cai's eyes lit up.

Good stuff!

On the other side, Xun Zi You's gaze was like a sword, and he still asked that demon cultivator, "Exactly, whose orders are you following?"

"And who passed on your demon cultivation skills to you?"

The tall demon cultivator still sneered, his mouth full of blood, but he did not utter a word.

Mo Cai saw the situation and said:

"Kill him, he won't talk."

Xun Zi You was startled, and looked at Mo Cai with a complex expression.

This child, why is he more decisive than me in killing...

This was just one look, just two questions, and before the other side could answer, he directly said "kill him"...

Mo Cai said, "Demon cultivators have very hard mouths. Moreover, he's already like this, there's no difference between life and death, so he definitely won't talk."

Xun Zi You also felt that there was reason, but he was still a little hesitant.

Mo Cai then shook the "communication talisman" in his hand, "Just ask this."

Xun Zi You was stunned, then understood, and nodded.

On the other side, that tall demon cultivator, hearing a clear voice say that he wanted to kill him, couldn't help but struggle to lift his head and glare angrily at Mo Cai.

Mo Cai calmly and fearlessly confronted him, and smiled, saying:

"You just said, wait until your brother, this guy, enjoys three hundred years of blessings, and then he will go down and apologize to the younger brother he just killed."

"Three hundred years might be too long..."

"Why don't you just take one step to the end and go down and apologize directly!"

The demon cultivator's pupils widened, looking at Mo Cai, resentful to the extreme.

But before he could say anything, a sword light flashed over, and this tall demon cultivator's head was separated from his body right there, and he died on the spot.
