At the peak of Snow Lotus Mountain.
Tree Palace.
Outside the Tree Palace, it was heavily guarded.
The demonic cultivators had already returned to their original forms. However, after demonification, both their physical and mental states were much weaker than before.
Their demonic qi cultivation had also been greatly weakened. This was the backlash of demonification. That was not all. Demonification would also cause various shackles on their cultivation, which would be detrimental to their future cultivation.
The Great Demon King had also returned to his original form. However, his eyes could not be recovered. He had already lost his sight.
At this moment, he was healing his injuries.
He sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands flat. There was a blood-colored lotus in each of his palms.
This blood-colored lotus was called the Blood Lotus.
The Blood Lotus was an extremely precious healing herb. In the entire continent, only Snow Lotus Mountain had Blood Lotuses. Moreover, they were very rare and extremely hard to come by.
Not only could the Blood Lotus heal injuries, but it also contained a very strong blood qi. This blood qi had a wide range of uses. For example, if a demonic cultivator absorbed it, the blood qi in his body would rapidly increase.
For example, ghost cultivators and demon cultivators could also absorb it to increase the blood qi in their body. If a human cultivator absorbed it, it could also increase the blood qi in his body and increase his combat strength.
Just like when Lin Fan absorbed the blood qi of the Blood Ghost, he could instantly double his strength.
The beauty of the Blood Lotus was that the blood qi in the Blood Lotus could quickly merge with the blood in the human body. It was not a foreign blood qi.
Of course, not everyone could absorb a large amount of Blood Lotus and instantly double their strength. This was because the violent blood qi could break their blood vessels.
It would cause the tragedy of exploding.
There was only one kind of person.
This kind of person.
It was a body refinement expert.
Just like Lin Fan, who was a Diamond Body expert, who had an extremely powerful physical body.
Only then could he absorb a large amount of Blood Lotus and increase the blood qi in his body, instantly doubling his strength.
As the Great Demon King breathed in and out, the Blood Lotus in his palm sent two streams of pure Blood Qi into his hands. They traveled up his arms and into his body, finally flowing into his eyes.
That pair of eyes that had been charred black and withered by Lin Fan's lightning.
At this moment, they had become blood-red. The blood light flashed and disappeared. It looked very strange.
After a while.
The blood lotuses on the Great Demon King's hands had been completely absorbed. At this time, the Great Demon King's eyes had recovered a bit. They were originally charred black, but now they were a bit whiter. However, his eyes were still blind.
Although the Blood Lotus had miraculous healing effects and had the effect of reviving the dead, it couldn't heal a pair of blind eyes in an instant. It required a process.
The Great Demon King stood up dejectedly.
After instructing the demonic servant beside him, he got the guards outside to strengthen their defenses before lying down on a soft mattress made of mink fur.
He was sound asleep.
He had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the noise outside.
The Great Demon King was defeated.
After being blinded, he was like a bird that was frightened by the twang of a bow.
The slightest noise would make him nervous.
Outside the Tree Palace.
Shrill cries, sounds of magic treasures colliding, sounds of battle … All sorts of sounds rose and fell, and it was bustling and horrifying.
The Great Demon King suddenly stood up and scanned with his Divine Sense. He saw that a large amount of spiritual energy was chasing after a small amount of demonic energy. They had already entered the boundary of the Snow Lotus Mountain and were heading towards the Tree Palace at the peak of the mountain.
The small demonic army was sent by the Great Demon King to scout, but unexpectedly, it led the human army here. Seeing this situation, the Great Demon King was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He cursed angrily, "A bunch of idiots!"
The demonic army that the Great Demon King scolded as idiots was now being strangled by the Ten Thousand Spirit Ring Formation like living targets. They didn't have the strength to fight back at all.
Lin Fan's plan of using a long line to catch a big fish didn't fail. He really caught a big fish. He followed the demonic army to the Snow Lotus Mountain and used his Divine Sense to discover the Tree Palace at the peak of the Snow Lotus Mountain, as well as the Great Demon King in the Tree Palace.
At this time, the demonic army had no value in Lin Fan's eyes. Therefore, Lin Fan ordered the Ten Thousand Spirit Ring Formation to kill them mercilessly.
Under the bombardment of the Ten Thousand Spirit Ring Formation, the small demonic army of a few hundred people was turned into ashes in an instant. Only miserable screams were left.
Then, Lin Fan ordered the seven Thousand Spirit Ring Formations to protect the top, bottom, left, right, rear, left rear, and right rear of the Ten Thousand Spirit Ring Formation, leaving only the front open.
Then, the eight large formations covered each other and flew towards the peak of the Snow Lotus Mountain.
The eight large formations were mighty and majestic. They stirred up the sound of wind and thunder. Wherever they passed, the snow on the mountain collapsed and rolled down, forming a powerful snowstorm.
A group of Demon Kings stood on the platform at the peak of the mountain and looked at the Ten Thousand Spirit Ring Formation flying over from the mountain. Their faces were filled with fear. They were so scared that their bodies were trembling. They immediately ran into the Tree Palace and shouted in horror, "Great Demon King, it's not good. The human army is here!"
"Trash, a bunch of trash!" The Great Demon King was filled with anger as he viciously vented it on the Demon Kings below.
"Great Demon King, for your safety, you should retreat from the Snow Lotus Mountain as soon as possible and return to the Demon Domain!" An old Demon King ignored the Great Demon King's rage and stepped forward to warn him.
The Great Demon King kicked him to the ground and asked the demonic servant beside him, "Trash, has the person in charge of collecting the Blood Lotus returned?"
"Reporting to Great Demon King, not yet." A demonic servant stammered.
"Ah ah, I'm so angry!" The Great Demon King stomped his foot and decisively shouted, "Go, retreat!"
Immediately, a group of Demon Kings surrounded the Great Demon King and flew away from the peak of the mountain. Behind them were less than ten thousand demonic soldiers. They fled in a sorry state in the direction of the Demon Domain.
The thousands of demonic soldiers that were left behind were killed by the Ten Thousand Spirit Ring Formation. They died one after another, without a single survivor.
Dark red blood dripped onto the snow-capped mountain like a blooming red lotus.
When Lin Fan arrived at the peak of the Snow Lotus Mountain, he was immediately attracted by the Tree Palace in front of him. He saw that it was a giant tree that seemed to reach the heavens. He did not know how long it had been growing. This iron tree actually towered into the clouds and was so thick that it would take a thousand people to wrap their arms around it.
On top of this giant tree, there was a huge treehouse dug out.
When Lin Fan walked into the treehouse, he discovered that it was a completely different world. It could not be described as a treehouse. The layout and decorations inside were completely like a large palace.
"Commander, the Great Demon King's thousands of demonic soldiers have fled. It seems that they have fled in the direction of the Demon Domain.
Should we pursue them? "Cheng Jin came forward to report.
"No need, do not pursue a cornered enemy!" Lin Fan waved his hand.
He said, "Send a few people to search the mountain and see if there are any demonic cultivators remaining in the Snow Lotus Mountain."
"Yes." Cheng Jin responded and walked out.
"Wow, this place is really good!"
Guan Qing Si and Jiang Yingxue walked around the Tree Palace, their eyes full of amazement. Every room and partition in the Tree Palace, including the walls and windows, were exquisitely carved. Even the tables and chairs inside were made of local materials, carved with dragons and phoenixes, with exquisite and complicated patterns.
It was breathtaking.
"I didn't expect that there would be such fine craftsmen among the demonic cultivators!" Lin Fan looked at the exquisite Tree Palace and murmured in praise.
Saiya suddenly opened her mouth and said, "The Demon Race is also a race, and they once created an immortal civilization."
This was the first time Saiya took the initiative to speak to Lin Fan after hearing the grievous news of her brother's death. Lin Fan couldn't help but be surprised. Lin Fan glanced at her and saw a hint of pride in her expression. He couldn't help but smile and said,
"I've never belittled the Demon Race, and I don't have any great enmity with the demonic cultivators. It's just that the demonic sects wanted to invade the Ethereal Continent and started with the Yellow Dragon Empire. As an official of the Yellow Dragon Empire, I naturally have the responsibility to fight against the demonic cultivators. Just like your brother, if he hadn't betrayed and harmed me, I wouldn't have killed him …"
Saiya's face turned pale when Lin Fan mentioned her brother. She said, "Why didn't you kill me?"
"War isn't just about killing," Lin Fan said, "Moreover, Saiya, I like you, so I won't kill you …"
Lin Fan stared at Saiya as he spoke.
Saiya's delicate body trembled and she quickly turned her face away.
She left Lin Fan with a beautiful back view.
"Eh?
Saiya, why do you think the Great Demon King stationed the Demon Army on Snow Lotus Mountain? Snow Lotus Mountain is the highest mountain in the Snow Region, and the weather is the coldest. Isn't he looking for trouble? "Lin Fan asked the question in his heart.
"Because … there's a Blood Lotus on Snow Lotus Mountain …" Saiya didn't turn around. Her voice was soft and hesitant. It was obvious that she was struggling internally.
"Blood Lotus?
… What benefits does it have? "
"The Blood Lotus is a miraculous healing medicine!" Saiya turned around and explained the effects of the Blood Lotus to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was enlightened after hearing that. He said, "No wonder. Do you know the distribution of the Blood Lotus …"
Saiya shook her head and said, "The Blood Lotus is not only rare, but most of them grow on cliffs and precipices.
Or they're buried deep in the snow and hard to find. "
She stopped talking.
A group of soldiers escorted five demonic cultivators into the Tree Palace. The leading general reported to Lin Fan respectfully.
"Commander.
These five demonic cultivators were found on the cliffs and precipices of Snow Lotus Mountain. However, these five fellows are very tight-lipped. They refused to say anything. "
"Alright, you may leave first." Lin Fan waved his hand at the group of soldiers, indicating for them to leave.
After the group of soldiers left, Lin Fan released his Divine Sense and locked onto the five captives. These five demonic cultivators were all Great Demons.
Under Lin Fan's Divine Sense, they couldn't move at all.
