Chapter 1396: Turn Against Each Other

e rocks had fallen ahead, blocking their path. Lu Xiaoteng chuckled wryly. After so long on the journey of cultivating immortality, besides facing off against the old man in black's soul, this was the...Lu XiaTian said a thanks, the four of them didn't stop at all as they left the valley. Along the way, they also encountered several other waves of powerful demon clan warriors. Seeing Lu XiaTian disguised as Gu Hai and Gu Liehuo, although they knew these two were imposters with ulterior motives, they were too busy to pursue it further at this time.

Within the Star-Scattered Valley, murderous intent and ancient demonic energy rippled through the heavens and earth. There were countless demon creatures inside, even a powerful, one-eyed, three-armed demon at the Nascent Soul level couldn't defeat them all in a short time. After leaving the Star-Scattered Valley, Lu Xiaoteng and his companions temporarily escaped danger.

After flying tens of thousands of miles away from the Broken Star Valley, they arrived near a waterfall. Xiang Yihang took the lead and leaped down. The mountain stream cascaded down a precipice several thousand feet high, a truly spectacular sight. Many demon beasts in the vicinity saw Lu Xiaottian and his companions land and scattered in all directions.

"We are now out of danger. I assume Brother Liehuo and Brother Guhai have handed over the ancient demonic energy to us two." Du Fenghu crossed his arms, his eyes fixed on Lu Xiaottian and Xiang Yihang. "Both of you are formidable in strength. It seems you've already slain the powerful demon locusts, Liehuo and Guhai, and refined them into skins. However, I don't care about the specifics. All you need to do is keep your promise and hand over the ancient demonic energy that belongs to us two, and then we can go our separate ways!"

Prior to this, Du Fenghu and Zai Fengling had snatched enough ancient demon qi from the altar. They had stored it all in ancient demon bottles. They were on the run and hadn't had time to divide it.

Item One took out the ancient demon's artifact, and looked at Lu XiaTian with a contemplative gaze.

“Bring out your treasures and use them to contain the ancient demonic energy. Let me make something clear upfront, if your items aren't good enough, don't blame me when they break.” Lu XiaTian reached out a hand and snatched the ancient demon bottle over. He looked at Du Feng Hu and the other two.

“Fiery Bro, let's call you that for now. Who you really are doesn't concern me. Rest assured, the artifact we use to store this ancient demon energy is not as good as an Ancient Demon Bottle. We didn't use it before because when extracting ancient demon energy, we had to put all our effort into it and couldn't control our own demon pouches. Now that we have free hands, we can control the demon pouches. Even if some ancient demon energy escapes, it's very little. So you don't need to worry about us, Fiery Bro.”

Du Fenghu's eyes darted back and forth between Lu Xiaitian and Xiang Yihang, who were pretending to be two members of the Mo Gu clan. "Gu Liehuo and Gu Hai have always been at odds, but you two seem to get along very well."

"It's none of your business." Xiang Yihang snorted coldly.

"Farewell!" After dispersing the ancient demonic qi, Du Fenghu and Mo Xie woman Feng Ling strode away, their figures quickly disappearing from Lu Xiaottian and Xiang Yihang's sight. "Lu brother, everything is done, can you now give me the Demonic Puppet Ancestor Jade Although I didn't use the formation I set up, it's considered that I have helped you gather the ancient demonic qi for you," Xiang Yihang looked at Lu Xiaottian and said.

“I don't have a habit of breaking my promises. It's yours, you take it.” Lu Xiaoteng kept the Demon Puppet Ancestor Jade useless anyway, and directly took it out and gave it to Xiang Yihang.

“Brother Lu, you are indeed a man of your word. I truly hope Brother Lu can return to Xiangdu safely!” After taking the Demon Puppet Ancestor Jade, Xiang Yihang’s face flashed with a strange look. His body shot backward and disappeared into the forest behind him.

It seems you've called for help. Well, I'd like to see how much you've improved over the years. We were bound to come to blows anyway, just that the outcome came sooner than I expected. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the Demon Puppet Ancestor Jade you received is only half.

Lu Xiaoteng had been wary of Xiang Yihang all along. He wasn't surprised by Xiang Yihang's ill intentions.

"Brother Lu, seeing you come here proves once again your cunning nature. With this in mind, I have even more reason to kill you." Xiang Yihang's voice echoed faintly from within the dense forest.

Lu Xiaitian focused his gaze, and the other party had already shifted positions several times. He thought to himself that Xiang Yihang was indeed extremely cautious, knowing he had a Spirit Tracking Hound. However, it took some time for the Spirit Tracking Hound to pinpoint the opponent's exact location. Xiang Yihang's position changes were too rapid to lock onto, and the Hidden Spirit Cauldron in his hands was clearly several times more skillful than when used by Wei Chi Yu.

At this time, Xiang Yi was confidently following nearby and didn't intend to go far. Judging from the current situation, waiting for reinforcements seemed to be the only option.

Lu XiaTian flew for a while, covering a distance of over a thousand miles. He took out the Soul-Tracking Dog, and it continued to bark frantically at the rear wing. It was clear that Xiang YiHang had still not left.

“You really think that with the Hidden Spirit Cauldron, I have no way to deal with you” Lu Xia Tian stopped, and Xiang Yi Hang followed behind him like a shadow, clearly not intending to let him leave easily.

"I have revealed my true form. What can you do about it" Xiang Yi'hang chuckled, his figure appearing on a large blue stone behind Lu Xiaottian.

Whoosh, two figures darted back and forth, it was none other than Du Fenghu and Feng Ling who had left earlier. They stood in a triangle with Xiang Yihang, trapping Lu Xiaitian in the middle.

“Sorry, that guy Gu Lie Huo is pretty fast. I chased him for a while and had to take a big detour to catch up.”

Du Fenghu chuckled and glanced at Xiang Yihang before saying with a hint of amusement, "Gu Liehuo, you don't look like a member of the Demon Race. The aura of ancient demons is useless to you. If you had been more sensible before and handed over all the aura of ancient demons, I might not have gotten involved in this mess. Now that I've returned with Ling'er, there's no turning back."

“Both of you, get started quickly. This man is cunning and could escape our encirclement if given a chance. If he breaks free, the consequences will be endless. After killing him, the Ancient Demon Bottle and the Ancient Demon Qi will belong to both of you. However, the other things are mine.” Xiang Yihang said to Du Fenghu and Feng Ling, without further ado, he spread his hands, and a huge ice fan appeared in his hand. The ice fan hovered in mid-air, facing Lu Xiaottian with a swing. Several giant whirlpools of frost, resembling tornadoes, swirled towards Lu Xiaottian.

“A word is final!” Du Fenghu’s hands materialized a gigantic skull battlehammer. As the hammer swung wildly, a chilling deathly aura surged forth, engulfing Lu Xiaoteng. However, just as the hammer struck halfway, the attack launched by Xiang Yihang was cleaved apart by the colossal sword qi emitted from the ethereal sword embryo. Simultaneously, the bone-white battlehammer split into three parts in mid-air and abruptly turned, charging towards Xiang Yihang!

Mo Xie, the female Feng Ling, was not idle either. She directly dove into the ground. When she reappeared, she was already behind Xiang Yi Hang. A huge scorpion shadow suddenly sprang out, its massive pincers slashing towards Xiang Yi Hang.

Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed, seeing the opportunity. He fused with his sword embryo and transformed into a streak of light, aiming straight for Xiang Yi Hang's brow.

Du Fenghu was already a late-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator, and Feng Ling was also a twelfth-order Demon Scorpion. The two suddenly attacked, gathering their power and unleashing it with immense might. They didn't even give Xiang Yihang enough time to react before their attacks reached him.
