Mortal Alchemy

"First, let's vent some anger on the dog owner's kind!"

The Heavenly Fox King controlled the remaining dozen or so cultivators, searching for the Eight-Leaf Jade Luo Vine within the vast ant nest.

After a month, they finally found the Eight-Leaf Jade Luo Vine.

In an underground spiritual spring stone stream, emerald light shone gently, and the fourth-order Eight-Leaf Jade Luo Vine grew here.

Spiritual water gathered into a stream, trickling and sounding.

The arrangement here seemed even more ancient.

Each of the surrounding Gold-Devouring Ants was half a person tall, looking ferocious and terrifying, each with an aura reaching the second-order, possessing formidable strength.

Among all the demon beast territories, this Gold-Devouring Ant's territory was the largest, with the most clansmen. With this underground spiritual spring, they could plant many second-order spiritual herbs.

Besides the fourth-order Eight-Leaf Jade Luo Vine, there were also many second-order spiritual herbs in this underground spiritual spring stone stream.

Among them, the third-order Ant King was nearly a person tall, with an extremely powerful aura.

The Heavenly Fox King carefully observed in the dark:

"Let's divert the disaster eastward."

She immediately applied another layer of illusion to Qi Feiyang, Hua Miaoli, and the others, superficially disguising them as Gold-Devouring Ants.

Then, she urged Qi Feiyang and the others to go forward.

"Hmm?" The Ant King saw some unfamiliar, powerful clansmen and revealed a look of doubt.

When it saw these dozen or so second-order clansmen picking second-order spiritual herbs without its order,

The Ant King was furious and immediately transformed into a golden light, charging forward to fight.

"Chirp—"

With a casual move, it instantly killed one of the Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators.

"Not good!"

Qi Feiyang and the others immediately formed a formation, uniting together to resist the Ant King.

The Ant King only thought they were disobedient clansmen and casually killed one as a warning. Who knew that these dozen or so clansmen would unleash human spells, causing it to be stunned for a moment:

"Human cultivators, daring to disguise as my clan, courting death!"

"Rumble!!!"

A fierce battle immediately unfolded. Qi Feiyang and Hua Miaoli, as the chief disciples of their respective sects, were not instantly killed when facing the third-order demon king. Instead, they took out their trump cards to resist.

"Hehe~" The Heavenly Fox King giggled a few times, her fox pupils filled with playful amusement. Taking advantage of the chaos, she secretly came to the front of the Eight-Leaf Jade Luo Vine, and a huge, soft tail stretched out, uprooting the entire plant.

"Bang!"

The underground spiritual water immediately began to boil, the emerald light dissipated, and the underground immediately trembled, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Such a huge change immediately attracted the Ant King's attention.

Seeing the Eight-Leaf Jade Luo Vine being uprooted, the Ant King's eyes were filled with killing intent:

"You vixen!!!"

It immediately rushed up to attack the Heavenly Fox King, but the Heavenly Fox King didn't take it seriously. A flash of light appeared in her eyes.

The Ant King then swept past her side, violently attacking a rock.

But in just a moment, the Ant King broke free from the Heavenly Fox King's illusion and pounced towards the Heavenly Fox King's true location.

The smile on the Heavenly Fox King's face froze, her fur standing on end. She immediately transformed into a silver light and fled from this place.

As for the life and death of Qi Feiyang and Hua Miaoli, it was none of her concern.

"It broke free from this palace's illusion so quickly..." The Heavenly Fox King was frightened and hurriedly ran.

She underestimated the Ant King's strength: "This time, I've overplayed my hand..."

...

In the Water Pavilion Courtyard.

The Golden Core True Persons of the Demon Subduing Sect and the Myriad Desire Pavilion had unsightly expressions: "A bunch of idiots, actually being tricked to death by this demon king!"

From the beginning, being deceived by the Heavenly Fox King and mistaking him for Chen Ping, to later chasing the pangolin, and now, acting as bait for the Heavenly Fox King and sending themselves to their deaths.

The fifty disciples of the two sects were likely to lose their lives at the hands of this Heavenly Fox King.

The few Golden Core True Persons of the Eastern Xuan Sect were communicating:

"This Ant King's strength is very strong, actually able to break free from the Heavenly Fox King's illusion in an instant. I'm afraid none of us can do that."

Bai Jianjia frowned slightly: "This spiritual pet of Junior Brother's seems to have overplayed its hand."

Ling Xiao secretly transmitted his voice:

"Junior Brother Chengping's spiritual pet is not bad. Without seeing blood, it has tricked and killed fifty disciples. In the future battle for the Nascent Soul seed, there will be one less batch of threats."

As the sect master's disciple, Ling Xiao viewed the problem from a different angle than others.

...

Chen Ping, Zhou Ying, and Pei Fengge were sitting on the deck of the White Jade Flying Boat, drinking tea.

They were somewhat bored waiting for the Heavenly Fox King's movements.

During this period, Chen Ping took all the second-order spiritual herbs collected by the two of them, using some rare second-order spiritual herbs to refine pills, and the rest were used as points.

In front of Pei Fengge, Zhou Ying maintained restraint and did not actively offer herself, throwing herself into Chen Ping's arms.

However, between her face and eyes, the gaze she directed at Chen Ping was already full of love. Even Pei Fengge could see it.

But Pei Fengge thought it was normal. Uncle-Master Chengping was a dragon among men, and it was normal for female cultivators like Junior Sister Zhou to admire a hero like Uncle-Master.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Fox King's anxious scream rang out from the ground: "Dog owner, save me!"

Chen Ping looked down at the ground and saw the Crimson-Eyed Tiger King carrying the Heavenly Fox King, fleeing with all its might, followed by a huge golden Ant King.

The Heavenly Fox King's snow-white tail was wrapped around a fourth-order Eight-Leaf Jade Luo Vine.

Chen Ping's face lit up with joy: "It got it so quickly, not bad!"

Chen Ping did not control the flying boat to descend.

Instead, he drew out the Aurora Sword and slashed downwards. The Aurora Sword left his hand, transforming into a stream of light, shooting towards the two spiritual beasts. At the same time, lotus leaves bloomed.

The Crimson-Eyed Tiger King and the Heavenly Fox King immediately entered the protection of the Sword Lotus Formation, and then soared towards the White Jade Flying Boat.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Who knew that the golden Ant King actually had a pair of transparent wings growing on its back, flapping its wings and taking off, transforming into a golden light.

With a "crack—" it shattered Chen Ping's Sword Lotus Formation.

The Heavenly Fox King's fur stood on end to the extreme, her soul almost leaving her body. She hurriedly used her divine powers to hinder the Ant King.

The Ant King was preparing to devour the Heavenly Fox King, but under the momentary control of the illusion, it bit the body of the Aurora Sword.

"Crack—"

A notch was actually bitten out of the body of the third-order Aurora Sword.

Chen Ping's face darkened: "What kind of demon king is this?"

He could even faintly feel the pain of the Aurora Sword's sword spirit in his heart.

The invincible Aurora Sword was bitten with a notch by the demon king. This kind of power made Chen Ping also terrified.

"Roar!!!"

The Crimson-Eyed Fox King opened its bloody mouth and released its strongest sonic attack, blasting the Ant King away.

Then, the two demons successfully landed on the White Jade Flying Boat.

The Heavenly Fox King frantically screamed: "Dog owner, start the boat quickly!"

Chen Ping's face was gloomy, and he immediately urged the White Jade Flying Boat to its maximum speed, transforming into a white light and掠去 towards the sky.

However, the Ant King's speed was surprisingly not slow, transforming into a golden light, closely following behind Chen Ping and the others.

"Bang bang bang—"

The many second-order talismans arranged by Zhou Ying exploded, but they could not stop the Ant King at all.

"This Ant King's power is far above Little Tiger and Little White!" Chen Ping immediately had a recognition of this Ant King's strength, and his heart was extremely heavy.

Even the Aurora Sword could be bitten with a notch. Chen Ping's power was even more unable to fight this Ant King.

"I can only escape!!!"
