Meng Qi took a deep breath, suppressed his doubts, and turned his attention back to the Demon Lord: "Zhiwei, why do you think of the myths of our world when you see this statue of the Demon Lord?"

Are there any special features?

"Because of it."

Jiang Zhiwei pointed at the most conspicuous devil's hand on the statue of the Demon Lord and said:

"In the mythology of our world, the Demon Lord was just an ordinary member of the Nine Nether Demons. Later, by chance, he obtained the 'Demon Emperor Claw' and soared into the sky to become a world-destroying demon. This thing looks very similar to the 'Demon Emperor Claw'."

The Demon Emperor's Claw, Meng Qi had seen it on the exchange list of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was one of the top ten peerless divine weapons, worth hundreds of thousands of merits, and was left behind by the Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds.

According to the introduction of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, in the ancient times, the Emperor of Evil Demons was severely injured by the Taoist priest and fled back to the Netherworld. Before his death, he issued seven magic spells, cursing all things. Later, his body disappeared, leaving only one claw. Anyone who obtains this claw will be possessed by the Emperor of Demons and gain unparalleled supernatural powers.

However, the owner of the Demon Emperor's Claw will be affected by the seven magic spells, and his temperament will gradually change, and he will take it as his mission to destroy all things. Therefore, the Demon Emperor's Claw, this filthy and most unique magic weapon, is the cheapest among the top ten.

Meng Qi looked at the strange and evil hand again, and once again felt the overwhelming hatred and destructive feeling.

This time he was more absorbed in watching, and soon he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, mental fatigue, and dizziness, so he had to force himself to look away.

"What happened to the Demon Emperor's Claw later?" Meng Qi calmed down and asked.

Jiang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "The Demon Lord was killed by the Emperor of Heaven, and the Demon Emperor's Claw was lost. It was then found by someone else, becoming a legend of the Demon Lord. However, at the end of the mythological era, the Demon Lord is said to have exhausted his lifespan and passed away. In the following Middle Ages, the Demon Emperor's Claw appeared several times, each time bringing about monstrous demonic disasters and the deaths of hundreds of millions of lives. Until 20,000 years ago, its last owner died together with a powerful being, and the Demon Emperor's Claw has disappeared since then."

"Maybe it will be obtained by the 'Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation' later." Meng Qi wiped his sweat, thinking that there was no word "missing" written on the Demon Emperor's Claw on the exchange list of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Jiang Zhiwei said seriously: "It's possible."

Meng Qi wanted to ask for more details, but suddenly Elder Chen shouted, "We found a secret passage! They left from here!"

The two men collected their thoughts and walked behind the statue of the Demon Lord, where they discovered that a carved stone slab had been pushed open, revealing a deep secret passage.

To pursue or not to pursue?

When encountering a secret passage, Meng Qi and the others naturally considered the possibility of an ambush inside, but for various reasons, they decided to continue chasing. However, they left behind Elder Li from the Zhaixing Tower to guard the entrance. If anything happened, he would immediately use his special ability to inform Elder Chen inside to prevent them from being cut off.

Going down the stairs, it was deep and dark. Meng Qi and others held fire sticks in one hand and held their weapons tightly in the other, while Luo Shengyi and Elder Chen followed closely, carefully checking whether there were any hidden weapons on both sides of the corridor.

The road was quiet. Apart from the stone slabs painted with the might of the Demon Lord, there was nothing else, not even a speck of dust.

After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up and turned out to be an underground hall.

Opposite Meng Qi and the others in the hall was a strange stone door covered with peculiar patterns that were colorful, gorgeous and bizarre.

In front of the stone gate, there were huge rocks piled up, blocking it.

In front of the boulder, a man with a skeleton as big as a bear was sitting cross-legged. He had a peaceful and happy expression on his face, and his body was shriveled and without flesh.

"Earth Lord..." This was the voice of Elder Chen.

"Finger of Immortality..." This was blurted out by Meng Qi and others.

Meng Qi felt a chill in his heart. This Gu Xiaosang was simply schizophrenic. She actually attacked her teammates. What on earth did she want to do?

Did she intentionally leave some traces along the way so that she and others wouldn't get lost?

This evil woman is schizophrenic and her mind is unpredictable. She can even do something like causing the tragic death of her teammates. It's really chilling!

Subconsciously, Meng Qi and the others slowly retreated and guarded the entrance to the underground hall, but they were not too afraid because they were strong and outnumbered. Unless Gu Xiaosang had reached the realm of half-step exterior, she would only seek her own death if she relied on herself, and the other two were still being chased and would not be able to arrive for a while!
However, Meng Qi knew that a crazy enemy was very scary because you could never guess what the opponent's next move would be!
"Don't be afraid. People think they are ugly."

Gu Xiaosang's soft and beautiful voice echoed in the hall, allowing Meng Qi and others to see her.

She was sitting on a huge rock, her hand on her cheek, her white dress was as white as snow, she was smiling, and a pair of white boots were swinging gently.

"Do it!" Luo Shengyi growled. He couldn't give the witch a chance to delay time. No matter what her plan was, as long as he held on to her tightly, there would be hope of breaking it, unless she didn't want to live anymore.

Luo Shengyi's plan was also the idea of ​​Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and others. Swords and sabers flashed everywhere, and white mist and stars rose.

Gu Xiaosang seemed to be weightless, floating with the wind, dodging the attack, and landed in front of the strange stone door, smiling and saying, "Didn't you hear the noise inside?"

Boom, boom, boom, boom. As she spoke, it seemed as if something behind the strange stone door was expanding and ramming against the door.

Seeing this situation, Meng Qi dared not delay any longer. He moved as fast as the wind, and the Red Sun Evil Sword, with its secular red dust, slashed towards Gu Xiaosang.

Jiang Zhiwei also raised his sword, the sword light was solemn and filled with a strong aura of death, like an invitation from Yama.

Luo Shengyi threw a punch, without any frills or changes, simple and plain, yet powerful and lasting.

Qi Zhengyan swung his red-gold sword, and huge rocks broke apart and shot towards Gu Xiaosang.

But at this moment, the stone door exploded, and surging demonic energy rolled out, completely covering Meng Qi and others.

Meng Qi's skin was glowing dark gold, and his brows were aching, but the demon's might was so overwhelming that it made his vision go dark.

On the top of the Holy Volcano, there is a stone package burning with dark demonic flames. Demonic energy is constantly leaking out, polluting nearby things, making the entire top of the mountain look evil and bloody.

This is the Demon Tomb, and the burning demon flames are how the Holy Volcano got its name.

In front of the Demon's Tomb, there stands a magnificent temple. Many disciples of the Demon Cult come in and out, paying homage to the Demon Lord. Everything is so orderly and quiet.

Suddenly, the devil's tomb exploded, and a monstrous demonic energy rushed straight into the sky, covering the surrounding area. All the disciples near the temple had their muscles shriveled, their skin withered, and they quickly turned into mummies.

"The Demon Tomb, the Demon Tomb is completely open!" An elder who was not at the top of the mountain shouted in shock.

Isn’t it rumored that only when a person with great opportunity and great luck comes, the devil’s tomb will be completely opened, the devil’s way will be passed on, and the devil’s power will be allowed to reignite in the world?
The elders and disciples of the Demon Sect all stared at this scene in amazement, unable to believe that the legend would actually appear in the world!
"Hmm? The Demon Tomb has been opened?

It seems that the destined person has already entered!"

Shang Yi murmured in a low voice.

According to rumors, when a destined person arrives at the Demon Tomb, the magic inheritance within will be unlocked.

Others might think that this destined person is Gu Xiaosang who entered earlier, but Shang Yi knows that the real destined person is Qi Zhengyan who has never been prominent! Shang Yi still admires this determined person who set off a red storm in the real world in the future. If it were him, he would never be able to do it to this extent!
As his mind turned, the power in Shang Yi's hands began to slowly increase. The thunderclouds in the sky, which were originally evenly divided, seemed to become even darker above Shang Yi's head. The purple thunder became purer and more powerful, carrying the power of heaven and descending on the body of the "Nine Heavens Thunder God".

"Damn it! Who the hell are you!?"

"Nine Heavens Thunder God" said angrily.

In fact, he was already a little frightened in his heart. The person in front of him had learned the "Seven Strikes of Purple Thunder" from him since the beginning of the fight, and during the fight, his application of the "Seven Strikes of Purple Thunder" moves became more and more proficient, and the thunder sword intent became more and more pure and powerful.

Even in the subsequent fights, even the moves that he had not yet used were performed by the person in front of him!

What’s hateful is that “Nine Heavens Thunder God” still doesn’t know the other party’s identity. In fact, because he was too confident at the beginning, he didn’t investigate Shang Yi and others, and he didn’t know much about them.

"Nine Heavens Thunder God" knew very well that his family had fallen into a disadvantage. The opponent had made him so exhausted without using any real means. If he used his real ability, it was still unknown whether he could escape alive.

If the two of them had not been in a stalemate, "Nine Heavens Thunder God" would probably have been unable to resist using some life-saving trump cards to escape.

Shang Yi paid some attention to the Demon Tomb. He knew that when Qi Zhengyan obtained the Demon Lord's inheritance and Meng Qi obtained the mark of the Thunder God, their mission would be completed and they would return to the Six Paths of Reincarnation space.

Not only that, in order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Shang Yi injected a money-making leaf into the body of "Nine Heavens Thunder God" during the fight.

The leaves of the money tree are very inconspicuous, but they can be integrated into the body of the "Nine Heavens Thunder God" without leaving a trace.

Shang Yi can use this to locate the "Nine Heavens Thunder God" and even influence him, ensuring that his subsequent plans will not be discovered by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation or even other powerful people on the other side.

······
On the other side, Meng Qi suddenly woke up, held his sword horizontally, and took a defensive posture.

"Where is this?" He looked around in astonishment and found himself in a semi-desert. The only problem was that the sand was not gray or yellow, but all dark and deep.

There was no sun in the sky, only a dark red moon.

Zizizi, dark gold appeared on his body surface, clear and transparent, melting away the black air that was seeping into his body.

"Demonic energy is invading the body..." Meng Qi vaguely guessed what was going on, but even with the Golden Bell Cover to resist, he felt despair, collapse, bloodthirstiness, and cruelty, and he almost lost his nature.

This is even stronger than the backlash after using "Duan Qing Jing"! Meng Qi said to himself, forcing himself to concentrate his mind and body, and fully activate the Golden Bell Cover.

Zizizi, the evil energy continued to encroach. At this moment, Meng Qi once again had the feeling of practicing the Golden Bell Cover in the stupa. However, if he couldn't hold on in the stupa, he could stop on his own. But here he had to fight back, otherwise the evil energy would invade his body and he would lose his humanity!
If there is no time to return to the world of reincarnation, one may even become a walking corpse.

With the help of this situation, Meng Qi roughly guessed that he was sucked into the depths of the Demon Tomb. He had no idea what to do next, but he couldn't just wait there, he had to find a way out.

So, he used all his strength to operate the illusion technique, his eyebrows swelled, his spirit was released outward, and he chose the direction to move forward according to the subtle and magical sixth sense.

The poplar trees are in various shapes and twists. Against the backdrop of the dark red blood moon and black gravel, they look like demons waiting to be flesh and blood, making people feel depressed and desolate.

As he walked, Meng Qi suddenly felt that this place looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Impossible, when have I ever been to the Demon Tomb? It is even more impossible for me to have such an experience in my previous life..." Meng Qi was full of doubts, but he couldn't concentrate too much on thinking about this problem, because he had to activate the Golden Bell Cover to resist the invasion of demonic energy and emotional interference, and also guard against possible sneak attacks.

He was wearing white leggings and monk's shoes, and he moved forward cautiously, stepping on the soft but sticky gravel, feeling an indescribable nausea.

Suddenly, Meng Qi had an idea and pulled his sword back, chopping off an evil demon that had just emerged from the mud.

He looks like a human, but his eyes are blood red, he has protruding black horns, his mouth is wide open, his white teeth are sharp, saliva is flowing, and the ten fingers of his hands are glowing like water, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.

The knife pierced the body, but it was like chopping rotten wood, leaving behind a pile of black, twisted flesh and blood.

The Red Sun Demon Sword glowed with a dark red light, as if the sun had descended. The evil demon screamed in agony, in more pain than being cut.

Upon seeing this, Meng Qi unleashed his sword skills. Each strike of the sword held a mysterious charm and subtle changes, making it impossible for the evil demon to dodge.

The evil demon screamed in agony, and finally fell to the ground, quickly rotting into a skeleton.

"Is this a demon or an infected human?" Meng Qi frowned and thought to himself.

Don’t think that I won easily just now. In fact, it was all thanks to the Red Sun Evil-Suppressing Sword’s ability to break evil. Otherwise, the evil spirits are good at hiding and being filthy, and I would have to concentrate my energy and fully display my body and sword skills to defeat them - it is equivalent to an opponent who has just opened his acupoints.

Of course, with the Golden Bell Cover on him, Meng Qi was not afraid of being hit by the evil spirits.

"I hope there won't be too many evil demons like this coming at once... and I also hope there won't be much stronger ones coming..." Meng Qi chanted a few words of Amitabha and moved forward again. Perhaps with the Buddha's blessing, he only encountered a handful of evil demons on the rest of the journey, and they all acted alone.

Perhaps the demons don't like to live in groups without a leader... Meng Qi thought so, but soon became stunned.

This was not because of evil spirits, but a dilapidated temple, which was exactly the same as the dilapidated temple where he, Chen Xiao, and Luo You hid from the sandstorm!
"No wonder it feels familiar! This is clearly the demonized version of the outside world..." Meng Qi was puzzled and surprised, and approached the ruined temple cautiously.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, he was stunned and felt a chill down his spine, because there was a girl in white sitting in the temple, she was ethereal, beautiful and exquisite.

"Gu Xiaosang..." He almost jumped out of his throat with these three words.

Gu Xiaosang buried her head and sobbed. When she heard the voice, she looked up and said in surprise and joy, "Master, is that you?"

Uh, girl, you forgot to take your medicine... Meng Qi had all kinds of inexplicable thoughts.

No matter what he was thinking, Meng Qi never relaxed his guard. He used the Red Sun Suppressing Evil Knife in the starting posture of "Breaking Purity", and used the Golden Bell Cover at full power. He stepped on the "Catching the Wind and Shadows" step, ready to strike at any time and send a blow hundreds of miles away.

"Xiao Zi?" he asked half-certainly.

The exquisite girl in white was in tears, and nodded with tears in her eyes: "It was me. The bad guy Xiao Sang made a mistake in calculation and was injured by the evil spirit, so he had to let me out."

Compared to what I had seen before, she was less lively and mysterious, and less eccentric. Her temperament was similar to Xiao Zi when I first met her, except that her eyebrows and eyes had grown bigger, and she was no longer as pretty as she was then. Instead, she was like an orchid in a valley, stunningly beautiful.

Meng Qi felt carefully and found that not only Xiao Zi's temperament had changed, but there was no sign of internal force running on his body. He was like an ordinary person who had never learned martial arts. This was truly an incredible change. The "Sutra of the Advent of the Mother of No Birth" was so strange and unpredictable. No wonder Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan had misjudged it.

"Uh, you, no, why did Gu Xiaosang lead us into the Demon Tomb?" To be honest, Meng Qi had seriously thought about taking her life while she was sick, but on the other hand, compared to Gu Xiaosang, Xiao Zi was kind-hearted, had no martial arts skills, was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, just like an innocent girl. Although he was not afraid of killing people, killing innocent people was still against his bottom line.

On the other hand, thanks to Gu Xiaosang, he and others were sucked into the Demonic Tomb. If they wanted to find Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Zhengyan and escape from the Demonic Tomb, they would have to rely on Gu Xiaosang. If they killed her directly, wouldn't that put themselves in a desperate situation?

Therefore, Meng Qi asked in a gentle and persuasive voice, and at the same time, he approached Xiao Zi step by step, hoping to catch Xiao Zi by surprise after getting close to her.

Although Xiao Zi looked harmless now, he didn't know if Xiao Zi would suddenly become Gu Xiaosang again in the next moment. (End of this chapter)
