Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Lion Camel Demon City

The monkey demon had already turned into a lifeless corpse.

——Cannibal——

Based on this alone, Li Qian couldn’t possibly spare this demonic creature’s life.

He had just conducted an interrogation, and this monkey demon had spilled everything it knew.

Unfortunately, this monkey demon didn’t know much.

However, one thing was certain: this monkey demon had been awakened and enlightened before the demonic ritual.

According to the information provided by the monkey demon, there should be a few more lesser demons like it.

The main purpose of these lesser demons after being cultivated and sent back was to absorb the life force of humans and transfer it to their superior father demon.

That’s right, these lesser demons regarded the superior demon that awakened and enlightened them as their father demon.

As for the specific situation in the Returning Dragon Mountain Range, this monkey demon didn’t know. The order it received was to attack the migrating human队伍 and plunder their life force.

There were specialized earth demons within the Returning Dragon Mountain Range that contacted these lesser demons to complete the transfer of life force.

Li Qian looked at the sesame-sized demonic stone extracted from the monkey demon’s body, his face filled with seriousness.

Because this condensed demonic stone contained the human life force plundered by the monkey demon.

“There must be other demonic creatures targeting the migrating crowd.”

Li Qian thought to himself.

These lesser demons were also exceptionally powerful, and only Celestial Beings could handle them.

If Grandmasters encountered them, they would likely need several to join forces to have a chance of resisting.

This type of demonic creature was cultivated by superior demonic creatures using their Natal Demonic Power, so their initial strength was very strong. The drawback was that they were揠苗助长 and would have great difficulty improving in the future.

If a superior demonic creature were to enlighten its own offspring, it would definitely not do this. Instead, it would nurture them step by step, just like human martial artists cultivate.

“And the earth demon mentioned by the monkey demon is said to have the ability to burrow and move stealthily underground. It can freely enter and exit the Returning Dragon Mountain Range without being detected by the human experts on the periphery.”

Li Qian stroked his chin.

He had to find an opportunity to eliminate this earth demon and completely cut off the connection between the Returning Dragon Mountain Range and the outside world. Without these lesser demons transporting life force to the demonic creatures within the Returning Dragon Mountain Range, it should be possible to slow down the demonic creatures’ growth rate.

After all, the area Divine Sword Sect needed to migrate was so vast, with such a large population, and with no knowledge of when the demonic creatures would attack, he simply couldn’t protect everyone.

Therefore, he had to first find that earth demon and then, through that earth demon, determine the locations of the other lesser demons.

This way, he could strike at the root of the problem, completely eliminate these demonic threats, and ensure the smooth progress of the Great Migration plan.

So, Li Qian carried the monkey demon’s corpse and flew towards the location where the monkey demon and the earth demon had agreed to meet.

Within a mountain ravine.

Li Qian placed the monkey demon’s corpse properly.

Next, he concealed himself and lay in wait.

With the Time Bell’s current ability to mask his aura, even a Celestial Image Level Celestial Being wouldn’t be able to detect Li Qian’s presence.

As for the Black Cloak, it was no longer very useful.

The reason he was wearing it now was simply to play the role of the Black Cloak person.

This ambush lasted for more than two days.

Late at night.

Fortunately, Li Qian was a martial artist with profound cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stay still, without sleeping, eating, drinking, or relieving himself for two days and two nights.

Suddenly, Li Qian keenly sensed movement underground.

Getting closer and closer.

But just as it was about to approach the monkey demon’s corpse, the movement suddenly stopped.

Almost at the moment the movement attempted to flee, Li Qian’s Celestial Image Level Sword Intent instantly erupted, penetrating the earth.

At the same time, his Blood and Qi Sanctuary also expanded, enveloping an area of a hundred zhang, including the underground. The power of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary was pervasive.

◈◈◈

Squeak!

A strange noise sounded from underground, something was struggling. But Li Qian reached out with his hand, and surging sword qi tore through the earth. Then, a white-furred rat, the size of a wild cat, was pulled out from the ground by Li Qian.

Li Qian held the struggling white-furred rat in one hand.

It should be called a rat demon.

The strength of the aura within its body was much stronger than that of the monkey demon.

It was a pity that it was completely suppressed by Li Qian’s blood and qi pressure.

Next, Li Qian used the same trick again and began to interrogate it. He even lied to the white-furred rat demon, saying that the monkey demon had been killed by him with a single sword strike because it refused to cooperate.

The white-furred rat demon trembled in fear and finally revealed the locations of the other lesser demons, as well as the general situation within the Returning Dragon Mountain Range.

It turned out that hidden beneath the earth of the Returning Dragon Mountain Range was a massive ancient demon city, the former Lion Camel Demon City.

Because this ancient demon city had been sealed for too long, the complete grand formation couldn’t be activated. Currently, only a small part of it was active.

The demonic creature that had descended was called Yellow Wolf Demon Saint, one of the Demon Saints under the command of Lion Camel Great Sage, the master of Lion Camel Ridge.

The reason this white-furred rat demon knew so much was because it possessed the ability to burrow and eavesdrop. It had overheard many secrets discussed by the superior father demons within the Returning Dragon Mountain Range.

Now, all these secrets were forced out by Li Qian.

Li Qian was quite emotional. These lesser demons hadn’t been awakened and enlightened for long, and even if they possessed intelligence, they were still very simple-minded and afraid of death. Therefore, it was easy to threaten and deceive them. If they had become seasoned demons, it probably wouldn’t have been so easy to obtain information.

However, the information he obtained from the white-furred rat demon made Li Qian’s heart heavy.

No wonder the Taiwu Circuit Lord’s Residence had been unable to conquer the Returning Dragon Mountain for so long and had to implement the scorched earth Great Migration plan. This Returning Dragon Mountain was actually an ancient Lion Camel Demon City!

Now, only a part of the formations was activated. If the formations of the Lion Camel Demon City could be fully activated, the possibility of conquering it in the future would be very low.

Such a terrifying demon city was located in Taiwu Circuit, and its straight-line distance from Divine Sword Sect was less than three thousand li.

How could one allow others to snore beside their bed?

Wouldn’t he be constantly threatened by the Lion Camel Demon City while cultivating by ringing the bell within Divine Sword Sect?

“Therefore, this Lion Camel Demon City must be eliminated.”

Li Qian’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

Of course, to truly eliminate the Lion Camel Demon City, he would have to wait until he became a Martial Saint.

He couldn’t possibly take such a big risk now.

Even the Taiwu Circuit Lord couldn’t do anything about the Lion Camel Demon City. Wouldn’t he just be throwing himself into the fire?

Li Qian still knew his own limitations.

In the following period, Li Qian, based on the information provided by the white-furred rat demon, waited patiently and captured the lesser demons one by one.

However, Li Qian’s heart was heavy.

Because every lesser demon that came to meet with the white-furred rat demon must have absorbed a large amount of human life force.

Therefore, he showed no mercy to these demonic creatures and eliminated them all.

But after he eliminated the fifth lesser demon, while waiting for the sixth lesser demon, that lesser demon never appeared.

He analyzed that there were two possibilities.

One was that this lesser demon had already been eliminated.

Recently, demonic creature activity had been rampant, attacking migrating human groups. The Taiwu Circuit Lord’s Residence and Divine Sword Sect would definitely send Celestial Beings to eradicate the demonic creatures.

Two was that the Lion Camel Demon City side had discovered that the white-furred rat demon hadn’t returned and might have realized something was wrong. Therefore, they used other methods of communication to notify the remaining demonic creatures.

So, Li Qian went to the remaining two locations, and as expected, he didn’t encounter any demonic creatures.

He was basically certain that it was the second possibility.

The Lion Camel Demon City had other ways to contact the remaining demonic creatures.
