Chapter 637 Plan
Ten days later, black smoke billowed over Li Huo City, where nearly a million elite demons had gathered, none of whom were below the Nascent Soul stage.
Among these demons, a giant demon ship floats high in the sky.
Inside a room on the Demon Ship, Lu Yuan looked out the window at the millions of demons surrounding him, and the thought of finding a chance to escape completely vanished.
After looking at it for a while, a flash of light appeared in Lu Yuan's hand, and an exceptionally smooth jade bottle appeared, with several white, shimmering talismans affixed to it, as if something was sealed inside.
Lu Yuan gently stroked the talisman on the jade bottle with a few fingers, his expression shifting between light and dark.
This bottle contains his reward for completing this mission: the Nine Netherworld Union Elixir.
However, to prevent him from sneaking off on the way or being careless in carrying out the mission, the elders placed several extremely powerful restrictions on the medicine bottle.
If you try to destroy it by force, the bottle will explode and destroy the pills inside.
"These old guys are quite cautious," Lu Yuan murmured softly, then took out a white, jade-like array plate.
This array plate is used to repair the underground palace's array, and it is also the key to unlocking the restrictions on the medicine bottle.
According to the elders, as long as it is taken to the designated location in the underground palace, the array plate will be automatically activated, and the restrictions on the medicine will also be lifted at the same time.
......
Several months ago, in the battle of Li Huo City, the demons of the Land of Beginnings won, but they also paid a considerable price.
No one expected that dozens of high-level moths were hidden in the city. Although these high-level moths, judging from their aura, were at most at the Demon Lord level, and some were even only at the Demon Sect level.
However, its two supernatural abilities, teleportation and self-destruction, make it impossible for anyone to avoid. Once it detects you, it will definitely appear within arm's reach the next moment, and no amount of treasure can keep it out of your defenses.
Once this insect explodes, no amount of cultivation techniques or treasures can offer any protection; one can only rely on physical strength to withstand it. Even more bizarrely, once one is affected by the power of this insect's explosion, their spirit will be unknowingly corrupted by its filth.
As a result, several elders of the Primordial Land Elder Council and one Holy Ancestor suffered great losses. One of the Holy Ancestors even left the Primordial Land due to damage to his spirit. Another Holy Ancestor also left not long after.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Yuan, who was wandering outside Li Huo City at the time, thought about it for a while and decided to return to Shi Yin City.
After all, only here can one obtain the Nine Netherworld Union Pill.
As for the Demon Lord Ancestor who was the Deputy Commander of the Water Realm, Lu Yuan wasn't too worried. The entire Demon Flame Army had been wiped out, and apart from himself, no one knew how the Deputy Commander of the Water Realm had died.
Even if his ancestor had some doubts, without real evidence, would he dare to attack him in the City of Beginning Seal?
Moreover, just in case, after returning to the City of Beginnings, Lu Yuan sought out Zhong Lian, who owed him a life-saving debt, and joined the Night Owl Guard through Zhong Lian's introduction.
This would ensure that the Elders' Council would be their backing. Secondly, the Night Owl Guard's missions are all issued by the Elders' Council, leaving outsiders with no way of knowing.
Even if the Water Venerable wanted to take action while I was away, it would be difficult for him to find out anything.
However, what surprised Lu Yuan the most was that because several elders were lost in the battle of Li Huo City, he had a stroke of luck and was valued by them, who were willing to give him a Nine Netherworld Venerable Pill to help him advance to the level of Demon Venerable.
Lu Yuan was overjoyed when he first heard the news, but he was later told that he had to stay in the land of the Origin Seal for a thousand years. In addition, in order to prevent him from running away, he had to leave a wisp of his soul behind to be controlled.
Lu Yuan naturally couldn't agree to such conditions, as the risk of being stationed there for a thousand years and having his soul controlled was too great.
Later, the elders proposed that Lu Yuan could refuse to join the elders, but he had to undertake a very risky mission: to go to the underground palace to repair the damaged formation. In return, he could obtain a Nine Netherworld Venerable Pill.
Furthermore, the words implied that if Lu Yuan refused both of the above proposals, not only would he not obtain the Nine Netherworld Venerable Pill, but the Elders' Council would also not risk offending a mid-level Demon Venerable for his sake.
After careful consideration, Lu Yuan finally accepted the mission to go to the underground palace to repair the formation, but he requested that the elders provide him with the elixir in advance. The elders eventually agreed to this request.
Moreover, to put Lu Yuan at ease, he put the Nine Netherworld Union Pill into the bottle in front of him, then sealed it with a restriction, and even demonstrated how to use the array plate to remove the restriction seal.
Just as Lu Yuan was reflecting on recent events, a commotion suddenly arose outside the demon ship. Immediately afterwards, the demon ship, surrounded by numerous demons, rolled forward in a certain direction.
......
Several days later, above a desolate valley, shimmering light and the deafening sound of drums filled the air. Countless demon warriors, clad in armor, practically crammed the entire valley. Some flew on magical artifacts, while others hovered suspended in mid-air above the demonic energy.
On a giant demon ship resembling a small island at the heart of the demon army, Lu Yuan and over thirty other high-ranking demons of the Demon Sect level gathered in a large hall, listening to the Grand Elder's slightly cold voice:
"I will have the armored soldiers outside split into several groups and set off first to sweep the area around the underground palace, trying to attract the insect swarm and high-level moths. Then, you people, under the escort of our elders, can rush straight to the underground palace from another direction."
However, before entering the underground palace, you can activate the 'Pseudo-Moth Pearl' in advance to temporarily assimilate your original aura to the same level as that of a moth.
Once you enter the underground palace, Lu Yuan will lead you to the teleportation hall, and then you can proceed separately as originally planned.
However, let me remind you one more time: in the event of any unforeseen circumstances during your journey to the Teleportation Hall, Lu Yuan has the right to decide the life or death of any person!
Did you all understand?
As he finished speaking, the elder's gaze slowly swept over everyone.
The plan had been finalized countless times before the trip, so naturally no one had any objections now that the time was right.
However, after hearing that the elders had temporarily granted Lu Yuan such great power, many people still turned their attention to Lu Yuan.
They might be wary, disdainful, or suspicious.
Lu Yuan paid no attention to the gazes around him, because right behind the Grand Elder opposite him, a young man in a blue robe was also watching him.
His bulging eyes were filled with undisguised hatred.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, but he wasn't afraid. He had already decided that after completing the mission and leaving the underground palace, he would leave the place where the seal had been set and find a secluded spot.
With the Nine Netherworld Union Pill, advancing to the Demon Lord level is a sure thing.
Even if the Water Venerable were to seek revenge again, it would be uncertain who would emerge victorious.
