After hearing the voice of the Demon Emperor Yangling, Xu Taiping only had a flicker of light in his eyes and then returned to the lotus platform without a sound.
After returning to the lotus platform, he then responded in his heart:
“Yangling Demon Emperor, I naturally believe that you have this method, but how can you make me believe that one of the most powerful Demon Emperors in Jiuyuan would take the initiative to help the human race deal with Jiuyuan?”
As if having long guessed that Xu Taiping would say this, the Yangling Demon Emperor replied in a very calm tone:
“You can rest assured.”
“Protecting your life when you are in the most critical situation and bringing you back to the Xuanghuang Pagoda, this was originally the decree that the Xuanghuang Great Emperor imposed on me.”
“Otherwise, you, who have already reached the deadline for returning these three paintings, simply would not have been able to continue to exert the power of these three paintings.
After hearing this explanation, Xu Taiping was slightly tempted.
So while taking out the painting of the Old smoker from the gourd to check it, he communicated with Liantong and said:
“What do you think?”
Even without applying the power of deduction, Liantong could sense some unknown dangers.
Almost at the same time that Xu Taiping took out the painting of the Old smoker, Liantong’s voice rang out in his mind:
“In this current situation, using normal means to go to the wild will definitely encounter the ambush of Jiuyuan.”
“So if this Ghost Lord can be trusted, naturally it is the safest to first return to the Xuanghuang Pagoda with him.”
“After all, this is a path that Jiuyuan does not know.”
Xu Taiping nodded slightly without showing any emotion.
Even if Lotus Eye didn’t say it, he knew that trying to get rid of the pursuit of the Nine Abysses and go to the Mysterious Wilderness would definitely be extremely dangerous.
With this thought in mind, he slowly unfolded the painting of Old smokers.
Immediately, he saw that the Old smoker in the painting was lying on the bed smoking a cigarette with a contented expression on his face.
After discovering Xu Taiping, Old smoker leisurely exhaled a smoke ring and smiled at Xu Taiping, saying:
“Young master, it’s time for you to send us back to the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.”
Xu Taiping nodded, then put away the painting of the Old smoker and opened the painting of the Red Lion Ghost.
As a result, the Red Lion Ghost was even more straightforward –
“Little guy, the time limit has expired. Even if you give more gold essence coins, don’t think about asking me to do things for you.”
After putting away the two paintings, Xu Taiping once again fell into a dilemma.
And just at this moment, the Great Emperor Cang’ai of Youyun Sky suddenly transmitted a voice to Xu Taiping, saying:
“Xu Taiping, don’t come out from the passage leading to Youyun Sky for the time being. I just sensed the aura of a Demon Emperor lingering around there.”
Soon, the voice of the Great Emperor Duanyue of Jueming Sky also sounded:
“There are also quite a few auras of Demon Emperors here in Jueming Sky. Xu Taiping, it’s best if you don’t come over for the time being.”
After that, the nine prefectures of True Martial Heaven and Thousand Chance City in Mysterious Wilderness Heaven also successively transmitted voices to Xu Taiping.
The content was not much different from what Great Emperor Broken Mountain and Cang Ai had said.
For a while, all the watching cultivators were in an uproar.
Everyone didn’t expect that in order to besiege Xu Taiping of the Barbaric Wilderness, Jiuyuan actually sent out so many Demon Emperors in one go.
Seeing this, Xiahou You immediately frowned and said:
Although Xu Taiping’s current cultivation level can fight against a Demon Cultivator of the Demon Emperor level, the premise is a one-on-one battle. If he encounters a Demon Emperor with more than a hundred Demon Cavalry under his command, or two or three Demon Emperors joining hands, I’m afraid it will be more ominous than good.
Xiahou Qingyuan nodded in deep agreement, and then added a sentence:
What you said is still a frontal confrontation. The most troublesome thing is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, because you simply don’t know what kind of strange power of the original Demon Seed that Demon Emperor has mastered.
At this time, Xiahou You said again:
It depends on whether Great Emperor Zongyun can guide Young Master Taiping.
And just as the two were talking, only the voice of Great Emperor Zongyun was heard again from the virtual shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone above the head——
Wuxin, aren’t you afraid that Shangqing will take advantage of the emptiness inside your Jiuyuan and counterattack your Jiuyuan Blood Cave by doing this?
To everyone’s surprise, this time Great Emperor Zongyun was not shouting at Xu Taiping, but at that Demon Emperor Wuxin.
The voice of the Wuxin Demon Emperor soon rang out:
“It’s just a few hundred Demon Emperors. Even if they all perish outside, it won’t hurt the foundation of my Jiuyuan.”
Everyone felt a chill down their backs when they heard this.
They didn’t expect that in order to block Xu Taiping and prevent him from sending that Buddha statue to the Xuanhuang, the Wuxin Demon Emperor actually sent out more than a hundred Demon Emperors to guard the wild exits in all directions of the Five Directions Heaven and Earth at one go.
Xiahou Qingyuan’s eyesight condensed, and he muttered:
“If this Wuxin is not lying, then the number of Demon Emperors that Jiuyuan currently has will be at least dozens of times more than what is on the surface.”
Shi Hutian Jun was not surprised by this at all, and said in a very calm tone:
“The real game between Jiuyuan and Shangqing has never been in the lower realm but in the upper realm. Breeding more than a hundred Demon Emperors is nothing at all for Jiuyuan.”
“It’s just unexpected that this Wuxin Demon Emperor was actually able to convince the other Demon Emperors of Jiuyuan who are stationed in the lower realm of Shangqing to transfer more than a hundred Demon Emperors to block Xu Taiping within such a short period of time.”
Xiahou You was a little worried and said:
“In this case, I’m afraid that Xu Taiping won’t be able to leave the wild for a short time.”
“If we wait for the passages in all parts of the wild to open again, by then, Jiuyuan will definitely try every means to send demonic cultivators into the wild to assassinate him.”
Just then, the voice of the Wuxin Demon Emperor rang out again——
“Xu Taiping, after breaking through to the Jingtian Realm, you should be able to sense that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth in this Barbaric Heaven is complex and impure, and simply cannot allow you to stabilize your realm.”
“Staying for three to five months is okay, but if you stay for three to five years, or even three to five decades, even if your cultivation is not abolished, you will at least have to spend three to five hundred years re-tempering it.”
“Therefore, considering your cultivation future, I advise you to destroy that statue of Buddha and leave the Barbaric Heaven.”
“I have no intention of guaranteeing to you that as long as you do as I say, all the grudges between you and Jiuyuan in the past and today will be written off.”
“From now on, you can cultivate with peace of mind and don’t have to worry about assassinations from Jiuyuan.”
After hearing these words, the crowd of watching cultivators turned their gazes towards Xu Taiping in the spiritual mirror.
Some people were even more worried and said:
“In the current situation, Xu Taiping is probably going to compromise.”
Some cultivators believed that even if Xu Taiping compromised, it was human nature. After all, without a powerful force behind him, how could he fight against the siege of Jiuyuan joining forces?
The several Great Emperors who had originally spoken did not say anything at this time.
Xiahou Qingyuan shook his head and said:
“The several Great Emperors didn’t speak, which is equivalent to acquiescing that there is no better way and letting Xu Taiping choose for himself.”
And compared to the disappointed and regretful expressions in the eyes of Xiahou You and Xiahou Qingyuan, at this time, the gaze of Shi Hu Tianjun looking at Xu Taiping within the illusory shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone was still full of anticipation.
Because unlike Xiahou You and the others, he had already learned from the voice transmission of the old ox in advance that Xu Taiping would ask someone to take action to help.
But precisely because of this.
This Shi Hu Tianjun was even more curious about exactly what kind of divine being could help Xu Taiping get rid of the current predicament that was almost a dead end.
