#520 - Chapter 519 Test Grass
"Senior, are you thinking about that Nether Soul Grass?" Zhang Yuanjing asked as he returned to Fire Crow Taoist's large tent, waiting for him to open the isolation formation.
Fire Crow Taoist chuckled and said, "Indeed, it seems Yuanjing hasn't forgotten about this item. This grass is of considerable grade, at least at the Nascent Soul level, and should be of use!"
That day, in the Nether Earth Mountain abyss, Zhang Yuanjing and his group of two humans and three beasts obtained five Nether Soul Grasses, four of which were given to Ape Twelve, leaving the largest one.
Since that grass was the treasure guarded by the Nether Dragon, its level was at least above Xuan grade five. Such a treasure would definitely have an extremely strong attraction to Blood Refining and Foundation Establishment stage Earth Demon Beasts.
Late at night, Zhang Yuanjing once again descended into the earth.
This time, he planned to set a trap underground, using that thick-stemmed, round-leaved Nether Soul Grass to lure and kill Earth Demon Beasts.
Of course, this was just an experiment.
If it worked well, he would conduct a large-scale beast encirclement and annihilation operation on the surface.
To free up space for his actions, he spent several hours digging a ten-foot square cave one hundred and fifty feet underground, placing the Nether Soul Grass in the center.
He used Source Stones to build a stone cage for protection, while leaving a few gaps to allow the grass's scent to escape.
This place contained a rich concentration of turbid Qi, so once the Nether Soul Grass was exposed, it emitted a shimmering green glow, displaying its full spirituality.
A mud-like scent wafted out, seeping into the surrounding soil.
In this kind of underground environment, Zhang Yuanjing expected the scent to spread very slowly, even if it could spread at all, so he was prepared to wait patiently.
However, to his surprise, less than ten breaths had passed when an Earth Demon Beast emerged from below.
It was seven feet long, and its aura indicated that it had the strength of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Logically, it should have possessed considerable intelligence, but at this moment, it pounced towards the Nether Soul Grass surrounded by the earthen wall as if it were insane.
Zhang Yuanjing raised his hand and struck, killing the beast.
Just as he was about to dig out its two green eyeballs, he heard rustling sounds of burrowing from all directions.
Before long, seven or eight Blood Refining stage Earth Demon Beasts emerged.
He quickly attacked and killed them, but before he could eliminate even half of them, the surrounding sounds became dense and numerous, like waves overlapping and pushing forward.
He didn't know how many Earth Demon Beasts were rapidly approaching, scaring Zhang Yuanjing into quickly drilling into the stone cage, retrieving the Nether Soul Grass, and then wrapping himself in Source Stones, fleeing upwards.
Seeing the precious demonic plant they craved being taken away by Zhang Yuanjing, the numerous Earth Demon Beasts went berserk, ignoring the vast difference in strength and swarming towards him in groups.
Zhang Yuanjing didn't care whether it would arouse suspicion from Chang Guangming and Liu Zhongzhu.
He accelerated upwards, causing a great commotion in the dozens of feet of soil, and soon broke through the surface and soared into the sky.
Fire Crow Taoist had been paying attention to the movements below and immediately noticed the abnormality.
With a flash of his flying sword, he left his tent.
Chang Guangming, disturbed by the events of the day, was also closely watching the two envoys' tents.
As soon as the underground commotion was transmitted, he keenly sensed it and immediately opened his door and rushed out.
Before he could ask the ascending Fire Crow Taoist, he saw more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage Earth Demon Beasts burst out of the ground, biting at Zhang Yuanjing.
Zhang Yuanjing stepped on his flying sword and lightly dodged, avoiding these reckless demons.
The dozen or so airborne Earth Demon Beasts exhausted their strength and were unable to stay afloat, so they reluctantly twisted their bodies, trying to stay in the air for a moment longer to see who exactly had snatched their treasure!
For a time, more than a dozen pairs of green, electric eyes stared fixedly at Zhang Yuanjing, their eyes full of anger and greed.
At this time, more than a hundred Earth Demon Beasts spurted out of the ground like a spring, half of them at the Foundation Establishment stage and half at the Blood Refining stage, gathering at Zhang Yuanjing's feet, growling lowly.
The already awakened altar masters Liu Zhongzhu and Zhao Shijie, the three early-stage Saint Core Realm Dharma Transmission Envoys, and a hundred Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators swarmed up, attacking the Earth Demon Beasts frantically.
Nearby, many patrolling members of the Cold Spring Altar also rushed over upon hearing the news.
These Earth Demon Beasts were inherently weak and were blinded by desire.
Faced with the powerful impact of the demon cultivators, they couldn't resist at all and were quickly smashed into powder like paper chickens and clay dogs, leaving only a pile of wreckage.
As for those emerald-like eyes, they were naturally taken away as spoils of war.
"Fire Envoy, Deputy Zhang, what's going on?" Chang Guangming was a little confused by the sudden Earth Demon Beast attack.
He called out the names of the two envoys, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yuanjing.
Originally, his focus was only on one person, the Fire Crow Taoist, who seemed to have the strength of a late-stage Core Formation Realm.
This person had the strongest cultivation, was older, and was very experienced in dealing with people.
These days, he had been monitoring his movements, not letting go of any clues.
At this time, he realized that he had made a low-level mistake, ignoring this Deputy Zhang, who only had a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation but was clearly very important.
Since this person could silently sneak into the earth and lure out so many Earth Demon Beasts, it showed that he had remarkable abilities.
Fire Crow Taoist called out to Zhang Yuanjing, and the two landed together.
Liu Zhongzhu, Zhao Shijie, and the three Dharma Transmission Envoys also gathered around, but their target was Chang Guangming.
Five people and ten eyes stared at him vigilantly, in case he suddenly attacked.
Fire Crow Taoist smiled slightly when he saw this and said to Chang Guangming, "Altar Master Chang, don't be nervous, it's just Deputy Zhang testing a small spell.
Now it seems that this small spell is very effective and can lure out a large number of Earth Demon Beasts in a short time."
Chang Guangming's eyes narrowed, and he asked with suspicion on his face, "A small spell?
What small spell can make these cunning Earth Demon Beasts rush out of the ground like madmen, and refuse to escape even in the face of a one-sided slaughter?"
Liu Zhongzhu, Zhao Shijie, and the other five also had flickering eyes, obviously having the same question.
Fire Crow Taoist's smile remained unchanged, and he asked loudly, "Do you think this method is useful?"
The faces of the six Saint Core Realm demon cultivators changed in unison, but among the hundreds of Foundation Establishment and Blood Refining Realm demon cultivators around, no less than a hundred shouted, "It's useful!
Please grant us the divine technique to gather and annihilate Earth Demon Beasts!"
Fire Crow Taoist didn't answer, his smile faded, and he swept his sharp gaze over the six Saint Core Realm demon cultivators, asking again, "What are your opinions, altar masters and Dharma Transmission Envoys?"
Chang Guangming's face was a little ugly, but he quickly controlled his emotions and said expressionlessly, "This method can save hundreds of thousands of believers from fire and water, and it is a great gift from the gods to our believers!
Please grant us the divine technique, Divine Grace Envoy!"
Liu Zhongzhu and Zhao Shijie exchanged a glance, the shock in each other's eyes was clearly visible, but in just a moment, the two exchanged opinions, and immediately bowed and lowered their heads, respectfully saying, "Please grant us the divine technique, Divine Grace Envoy!"
The three Dharma Transmission Envoys naturally followed suit, and even the surrounding believers shouted in unison.
Fire Crow Taoist raised his right hand, signaling everyone to be silent, and then said solemnly, "How can the laws of the gods be easily passed on!
We are only acting as intermediaries, asking the gods to cast spells.
The gods have pity on you for your many disasters and are preparing to cast a divine spell in each of the three northern altars to lure out the hidden Earth Demon Beasts, which you will then kill yourselves to ensure a hundred years of peace!
Do you understand?"
"We understand!
Thank you for the divine spell!
Thank you for the assistance of the Divine Grace Envoy!"
The gathered believers answered in unison, interspersed with the mixed voices of several Saint Core Realm demon cultivators.
A day later, Golden Law King arrived at Cold Spring Altar with his confidant strategist, Chai Laoqi, followed by three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivators directly under his command.
Chai Laoqi didn't believe that these impostor Divine Grace Envoys could have any divinely bestowed spells.
He had been very certain in telling Golden Law King that these people must have high-grade demonic plants, and they should avoid the believers, directly capture them, and search for the demonic plants, otherwise the situation would be unmanageable.
Golden Law King knew that he was annoyed and felt like he had shot himself in the foot, but since things had come to this, he could only adapt to the situation and couldn't panic and act rashly.
Although he, Lao Jin, was a rough man, he wasn't a fool.
If he really took action, he dared to say that the Left Envoy would immediately publicize it and gather the power of the believers to change the structure of the Divine Sect.
At that time, not only him, Lao Jin, but even Right Envoy Jin and Lao Bai would have to obediently submit.
There was no way around it, as the Left Envoy controlled the Candle Dragon and naturally had the authority to command all the believers.
As long as the reason was sufficient, no one dared to openly disobey.
Seeing Fire Crow Taoist, who looked like a swindler, Golden Law King suddenly felt a trace of fear.
This matter was too coincidental and couldn't help but make him think of the will of the gods, the arrangement of the gods.
"Fire Envoy, Lao Jin, I've brought all the fighters from the Law King Palace that I could bring, and I'll listen to your arrangements!" Golden Law King was somewhat fearful, and his words were much more humble.
Fire Crow Taoist keenly noticed the change in his attitude, his heart stirred, but his face didn't show anything, and he still spoke in the tone that a divine envoy should have:
"Golden Law King, this matter concerns the grace of the gods being bestowed upon the believers, so this divine envoy will not be polite.
Please immediately organize the believers and choose a place in Cold Spring Valley to dig a large pit a hundred feet square and three feet deep.
Build a high platform in the middle, no less than six feet high, made of giant stones, and do not allow Earth Demon Beasts to burrow through.
Complete it within five days, and do not exceed the deadline!
At that time, I and Deputy Zhang will set up a formation on the stone platform and ask the gods to cast spells, and you will organize the most battle-hardened believers in this area to encircle and kill the Earth Demon Beasts!"
In fact, just choosing a flat area and displaying the thick Nether Soul Grass would continuously lure out Earth Demon Beasts.
However, to show that divine grace was rare and that the "divine technique" was mysterious, and also to highlight their status as envoys of the gods, Fire Crow Taoist deliberately designed such a plan.
Golden Law King didn't even frown and immediately replied loudly, "Please rest assured, Fire Envoy, Lao Jin will complete this task within three days!"
Golden Law King kept his word and did what he said.
In just two days and six hours, he dug the hundred-foot square pit and built the six-foot stone platform, and came directly to invite the two Divine Grace Envoys to inspect it.
