Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 434 207 Action

"Dealing with two opponents is not difficult, but the key is the Mysterious Figure hiding behind the scenes," Dapeng sighed. "His Divine Skills are bizarre, and we have suffered a great loss." Even now, Dapeng had not clarified what Divine Skills the Mysterious Figure had used. Considering his age, he had lived through long years, and in terms of knowledge, having been nurtured at Mount Ling for many years, he could be considered widely experienced. Yet, he had never heard of such odd Divine Skills.

Bai Xiang listened attentively to Dapeng and Green Lion's descriptions, growing more alarmed the more he heard. Putting himself in their place, he wondered how he would deal with such a character if he ever encountered them. After pondering for a long time, he found no clue and couldn't help but sigh, "I have underestimated the heroes of the world."

Ever since the three of them had secretly descended to the lower realms, claimed mountains as their territory, and looked upon others as a mob, a sense of arrogance had gradually developed. They believed that the heroes of the world were nothing special. Now that they had encountered Lu Yu with his Divine Skills, they realized that they had been shortsighted. There were indeed some individuals in the Three Realms who kept a low profile but possessed extraordinary strength.

"Our current plan," Bai Xiang said with clear-headedness, "is to first heal big brother's injuries and then find the remains of the Holy Elephant. After I purify my bloodline, we can settle accounts with these people." Before breaking the bizarre Divine Skills, they were no match for their adversaries.

"Gather the minions and keep a low profile; we will make plans after our recovery," Dapeng nodded lightly and ordered.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingyun's ears caught the voice of Lu Yu, instructing him to lead the human race to purge the Little Demons scattered everywhere. Both the three Demons and he himself needed time. As long as he could master the essence of this world, he would be able to spread his Illusory Flowers Reflective Moon across the entire world, and then they would have no escape. Otherwise, with Dapeng's extreme speed in the human world, it would be challenging to capture them all at once.

Liu Qingyun, looking at his companions who were still recuperating by his side, said, "The Scholar has commanded us to gather our forces to exterminate the Demons."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, "Was that the Scholar who just made a move?"

Seeing his senior brother nod, he quickly added, "Why doesn't the Scholar come out and meet us? Both junior brothers have been injured!"

"The Scholar has other important matters to attend to and can't spare the time," Liu Qingyun said with a grave expression. "Quickly recover, and we'll start as soon as you're well. Don't keep the Scholar waiting too long."

As for the Ghost Scholar and others, naturally, Liu Qingyun had drafted them into service, but it was something they did willingly. Firstly, Liu Qingyun had saved their lives, and secondly, the Mysterious Figure operating from behind the scenes clearly possessed vast Divine Skills. To foster good relations with such a superior person was a heaven-sent opportunity, and there was no reason for them to refuse.

Thus, a massive Demon-hunting campaign began in this small world. As their numbers grew, the Demon Race that had infiltrated this world felt an immense pressure bearing down on them.

In a small valley of this world, the Green Lion was lying on a large, blue rock, his brow furrowed as he listened to the report from the Little Demon below, learning about the actions the human race had taken against them recently.

"Outrageous, these humans are far too arrogant, daring to hunt down my subordinates," the Green Lion roared in anger.

While he did not feel much for these Little Demons, it frustrated him immensely to see the force he had gathered with such difficulty being hunted. He wished he could rush out and annihilate these detestable humans.

"Big brother, don't be impulsive," Bai Xiang pulled back the impetuous Green Lion. "Think about it, they know about the existence of the three of us, so why would they be so ostentatious in hunting the Demon Race if not to force us into the open?"

The Green Lion's eyes were wide with rage, but he knew Bai Xiang was right. Their adversaries had so blatantly set a trap; if they were to charge out now, they would likely fall right into the enemy's calculated snare.

"Living for so many years, when have we ever been this stifled?" the Green Lion slammed a paw down onto the stone, shattering it to dust.

Bai Xiang also heaved a deep sigh. His heart was filled with indescribable frustration. Ever since descending to the mortal world, it had always been them intimidating others; they had never experienced days of hiding and skulking like this.

"The priority now is to find the Mysterious Figure hiding in the shadows. Without removing him, we stand no chance," Dapeng spoke softly, his golden eyes as cold as the winter of the Nine Heavens, instilling fear and trepidation in anyone who caught his gaze.

Meanwhile, atop Elephant Mountain, Lu Yu was still with eyes shut tight, a blood-red gemstone in his palm. Were Bai Xiang to see it, he would recognize it as the core of this world and once the heart of the Holy Elephant.

Lu Yu's spirit delved into the gemstone, ceaselessly imprinting his essence within. Controlling this world was essential, and it was a task that demanded much time and energy.

At this moment, Lu Yu was racing against time. He was acutely aware of the Demon trio's strength. To defeat them, he must gain control of this world; otherwise, if they were to exploit a weakness in his Divine Skills, the battle would be difficult to fight.

At his feet played a small white elephant, frolicking and cavorting, occasionally glancing greedily towards the gemstone in Lu Yu's palm. Whenever it did this, a chestnut would come crashing down hard on its little head, causing it to roll over on the spot.

As time passed, fewer and fewer members of the Demon Race dared to show themselves in this small world, giving everyone a chance to relax and turn their attention to Liu Qingyun, who had been commanding the overall situation during this period.

Liu Qingyun looked at the earnest eyes of the people below and thought for a moment before saying, "Looking at the current situation, I estimate there will be no more Demon appearances. The remaining Demons have likely gathered around the three Demon Lords. There are some Spirit Grasses and exotic fruits in this world with extraordinary effects, which you can take the opportunity to pick. However, it would be best not to act alone."

As a final caution, Liu Qingyun added this advice—the number of survivors wasn't large, and after fighting side by side for so long, none wanted to witness their comrades dying horribly.

The others nodded in agreement with smiles, having bonded as comrades through this ordeal and hence could resolve minor conflicts by negotiation.

But to Liu Qingyun, while the items in this place were precious, nothing caught his eye. After all, Mountain Luoxia possessed a Cave Heaven, and over the years, many unique flowers and fruits had been cultivated there. Since their numbers were few, these items deemed very precious by the common folk were in fact discretionary for them.

Seeing Liu Qingyun's reaction, the others realized that what they considered treasures held no allure for such a person. They couldn't help but marvel, appreciating the abundance of resources available to a disciple of a high realm, to whom these items were utterly inconsequential.

This was a welcome situation, however, as the absence of competition from Liu Qingyun and others meant their harvest would be significantly richer. So the atmosphere was lively, not at all like that of an ongoing adventure.

Only the Ghost Scholar and the old beggar wore grave expressions, devoid of any joy.
