The Path to Immortality

Chapter 369: Failure at the Last Moment

Ancestor Luo glanced at the foundation-building cultivators and paused for a moment on Fang Ping.

Although he did not see through the shielding effect of the Tianshu array, he was obviously impressed by Fang Ping and had a hint of approval in his eyes.

Then he retracted his gaze and said lightly: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for you to be polite."

After getting the permission from the ancestor, the eight foundation-building cultivators present breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"Previously, a Jindan demon cultivator [Blood Night Demon] Yin Jue Sect secretly sneaked into Liang State and tried to delay the immortal sect from pacifying the demon calamity. I believe you have already guessed it."

"You were able to resolve the conspiracy of several foundation-building demon cultivators under the Yin Jue Sect, and held on to the end under the attack of the demon tide, forcing the Yin Jue Sect to mobilize the blood-robed demon servants with the method of controlling demons, which gave us an excellent opportunity to lock his breath."

"Such performance is remarkable."

"Both my Luoyang Sect cultivators and my friend Duan will be rewarded later."

"Although Junior Brother Shen fell into the trap of the demon cultivator and was captured, he died in the end to show his determination, which can be regarded as not humiliating the reputation of my Luoyang Sect. When this matter is completely settled and the coffin is sent back to the sect, it will also be a blessing to future generations."

Ancestor Luo briefly said a few words and put a final conclusion to the battle of the past two days.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Cheng next to him expressed his loyalty with a generous look on his face: "The sect taught me the skills and provided me with cultivation resources. It is natural for me to serve the sect. We naturally have no choice but to do so."

Master Yan Dan and others were a beat slower, and they followed suit.

Old Ancestor Luo had heard so many similar speeches and expressions of loyalty that he had become numb to them.

But the disciples present had just made great contributions, so he did not stop them. He let the foundation-building cultivators talk for a while before he spoke again: "Do you have any other questions about this battle?"

Hearing this, Chai Cheng couldn't wait to ask: "Senior Luo said before that the discovery of the Yin Jue Sect's whereabouts was related to a meritorious service of Fellow Daoist Fang ten years ago. I wonder what the merit was?"

Ancestor Luo glanced at Fang Ping and said lightly: "If I remember correctly, ten years ago, Junior Brother Fang was in charge of the Lingmiao Mountain Inspector. During that time, he killed two foundation-building demon cultivators in one fell swoop, and found a foundation-building pill in the storage bag of one of them!"

Foundation-building pill?

Chai Cheng and others were slightly surprised, and they all looked at Fang Ping with envy.

This is a huge fortune! Even for foundation-building cultivators, it has extraordinary significance!

Elder Luo continued, "Junior Brother Fang is an expert in alchemy and found that there was something wrong with the foundation-building pill. After returning, he handed the foundation-building pill to the sect. After being identified by two elders in the sect's alchemy hall, it was confirmed that the foundation-building pill was a poison pill carefully made by the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance with a modified pill formula."

"Those who build their foundations with this pill will not only pay a staggering price, but will also be controlled by the demon cultivators from then on. They must take specific pills regularly to stabilize their foundation-building realm."

"The demon cultivators use this kind of poison pill as bait to win over and control the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance for their own use."

"However, after obtaining the foundation-building pill seized by Junior Brother Fang, the Immortal Alliance immediately mobilized several second-level alchemists to crack this pill, and achieved results a few years ago."

"At least dozens of independent cultivators and small family forces controlled by demon cultivators were freed by the antidote developed by our Immortal Alliance. Control, and in turn provide us with information. But in order to calculate the Ten Thousand Demons League, this matter has always been kept secret. In the Immortal League, only a very small number of Jindan cultivators who can be absolutely trusted are qualified to know. "

"It is precisely because of this strict confidentiality that the demon cultivators think they are acting in secret, but in fact they have been exposed without knowing it. "

"When Yin Jue Zong and his group of demon cultivators secretly sneaked in, they used the cultivators of two controlled families to collect some information. Only then were we caught and confirmed their whereabouts and plans! "

"Today, it can be said that the merits made by Brother Fang are more valuable than what the sect originally recognized! "

"However, after this battle, the demon cultivators will certainly be suspicious, and it will be difficult to gain anything. "

After listening to the words of Elder Luo, the foundation-building cultivators present understood the whole story.

A series of admiring eyes immediately looked at Fang Ping.

Ten years ago, this fellow Daoist Fang should have only been building his foundation for a few years, but he was able to kill a foundation-building demon cultivator independently.

Not only that, after discovering the foundation-building pill, he was willing to hand it over instead of keeping it privately, and he was able to see through the abnormality of the poison pill...

Putting themselves in Fang Ping's shoes, if they were in Fang Ping's position, they would probably not be able to do these things.

At this moment, Fang Ping was the focus of everyone's attention, and his mentality was still calm, as if he had only made some minor contributions.

He didn't even mention this matter too much to show off his merits, but asked another question: "Excuse me, Senior Luo, since you have returned, I believe the previous battle has been settled. I wonder if the old demon of Yin Jue Sect has been killed?"

This is also a question that everyone is eager to know, and they all look at Luo Patriarch.

When asked about this, Luo Patriarch's eyes were a little dim, but after all, he had experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, and his tone was still calm, and there was nothing unusual.

He sighed lightly: "Yin Jue Sect was seriously injured and the golden pill was damaged, but he still escaped by luck."

What?

This can make Yin Jue Sect escape?

The faces of the eight foundation-building cultivators all changed. They never expected this result.

Luo Datong's original joy, pride and expectation also froze.

After a while, he said in disbelief: "Didn't they send out three Jindan cultivators? And the Qingxu Sect's spiritual treasure, how could this let Yin Old Demon escape?"

Ancestor Luo was silent for a few breaths, and said: "The Yin Jue Sect was originally surrounded by us, but he first let the Golden Core Blood-clothed Demon self-destruct the Golden Core, injuring Fellow Daoist Tianxiang; then, he was willing to die together with us, and pretended to self-destruct his own Golden Core. At the critical moment, Fellow Daoist Lingyun hesitated for a breath and made a mistake in his response, which caused a fleeting loophole in our encirclement and killing, so that the Yin Jue Sect used the life-saving method given by the Demon Lord to escape..."

Self-destruction of the Golden Core!

The hearts of the eight foundation-building cultivators were all horrified.

As the sustenance of the Jindan-stage cultivator's magic power, the power of the self-destruction of the Golden Core is so great that even cultivators who are one small realm higher dare not rush to take it head-on. It can be said to be the last resort of the Jindan cultivator when fighting for life and death.

Many times, the Jindan-stage cultivators can often win in a fight, but it is difficult to kill, because they are intimidated by this trump card of mutual destruction.

But no matter what, this was three great Jindans besieging one person, and such a large battle was launched, but in the end, this was the result, which was really disappointing.

How could Luo Laozu not know the feelings of the cultivators present? He paused for a moment and added: "Although Yin Jue Sect has temporarily broken through, Tianxiang, Lingyun and other Taoist friends are still following and chasing. The Taoist friends of the Northern Cangjian Tower will join the siege later, and there may be a chance to wipe out the roots. However, even if this demon can escape by chance, rest for a year or two, and barely recover from his injuries, it will be much more difficult for him to advance to the late Jindan stage in the future, and it will be almost hopeless to reach the Nascent Soul stage."
