Chapter 568: Half-Human, Half-Demon >

n killed.""Now that I've finally reached the last hurdle, but the person in charge of this final gate is Lei Dong. I guess Lei Dong will definitely make his move against him within the Thunder Gate.""...To the east of Nánxīng City, about a thousand li away, there is a stretch of mountains called Kū míng Mountains.

Deep within the mountains, there is a valley, not very large and surrounded by hills on all sides. Such valleys are quite common in Mount Kongming and wouldn't attract much attention.

However, at this very moment, in this valley, dozens of cultivators at the Fortune Land realm were bending over and looking at the ground, moving forward slowly.

Above the valley, a gray-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes like electricity, constantly patrolling the valley.

This group of people look like they are searching for something.

Suddenly, from among that group of cultivators below, one man raised his head and shouted towards the elder, "Head of the family, we found him!"

Hearing his voice, the others immediately stopped searching and rushed over.

And the old man also swayed his figure, landing beside that person. His eyes narrowed slightly, scrutinizing the ground which seemed to have nothing peculiar about it.

After a moment, the old man coldly smiled and said: "The temperature here is indeed slightly higher than other places. They should be hiding underneath. Get out of the way!"

As everyone rose into the air, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the elder's body. He raised his hand and slammed it down onto the ground with a heavy palm strike.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the ground beneath them suddenly caved in, revealing a pit almost a hundred paces across.

And immediately following that, the entire valley floor also collapsed inward along with that opening.

Although smoke and dust fill the air, obscuring the sun, it is not difficult to see that there is a cave beneath this land, a vast cavern.

And in the depths of the cave, a shadowy figure flashed by!

The old man laughed arrogantly and spoke loudly, "There's no need to run. I, the Luo family, have sealed off the underground within a thousand miles. You are now trapped like turtles in a jar, there is nowhere to escape!"

"Whoosh!"

In response to the elder, a massive flame erupted, shooting up to a height of ten zhang. It burned fiercely.

The old man's underlings, caught completely off guard, were engulfed in flames. They let out a heart-wrenching scream as they plummeted from the air into the chasm below, instantly incinerated.

The flames did not continue to spread upwards, but instead maintained that height, blooming like a flower and suddenly fanning out, forming an umbrella-shaped shield that covered the pit below completely.

With the appearance of this flame shield, a middle-aged man finally appeared in the cave.

The man's appearance was quite scholarly, like a Confucian scholar who had read extensively. However, his complexion was rather pale, and his clothes were covered in stains, making him look extremely destitute.

Upon seeing the man's arrival, the elder let out a sigh and said, "Cong Keqing, you say you abandoned your position as our esteemed guest of the Luo family to oppose us You hide underground like a rat. What's the point of this"

A middle-aged man let out a cold snort and said, “Luo Baichuan, your Luo family, as human beings and members of the demon refining lineage, yet collude with the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, acting in cahoots!”

"I would rather be a rat hiding underground than become a guest minister for your Luo family. I wouldn't want to be spit on and reviled by everyone for all eternity!"

As it turned out, this middle-aged man was none other than Cong Qin, who had secretly helped Jiang Yun several times before. And that white-haired old man was Luo Baichuan, the current head of the Luo family!

"Humph!" Cong Qin's words caused Luo Baichuan's face to sink suddenly.

Although Cong Qin was telling the truth, the Luo family themselves were most averse to others speaking of it.

Especially the four words "Lian Yao Yi脈" , every time they heard them, it was like being slapped in the face.

"Cong Qin, since you won't drink this toast, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Do you really think this measly fire shield can protect you"

"Let me tell you, today I will capture you all back to the Luo family. I will plant demonic seeds within your bodies. Then, let's see if you still dare to be so defiant!"

As soon as his words fell, Luo Baichuan swept his sleeve with a mighty gesture. With a thunderous roar, the surrounding mountain crumbled and collapsed, sending countless stones raining down like a hailstorm towards the blazing shield.

Although the temperature of the flame shield was extremely high, causing most of the rubble to turn to ashes the instant it touched the flames, a considerable amount of debris still managed to strike the shield.

"Bang bang bang!"

As these boulders crashed down, many flames were instantly extinguished. With a sinister laugh, Luo Baichuan waved his sleeves again, causing even more mountains to collapse and more rocks to smash into the fire shield.

If Luo Baichuan is allowed to keep launching attacks like this, the fire shield won't be able to hold for long.

A cold light flashed in Chong Qin's eyes. Above his head, a sea of fire appeared, condensing into a giant firebird. Its wings flapped, sending countless feathers ablaze into the air. Through the protective barrier, they flew towards the shards of stone.

In the blink of an eye, all the falling rocks were burned to ashes. Luo Baichuan nodded slightly and said: "I didn't expect that after more than a year apart, you have even reached the Dongtian Realm from a guest minister, but compared to the old man, you are still far behind!"

"Very well, you won't see the old man's skills. It seems you won't give up!"

"Boom!"

Luo Baichuan's hair suddenly rose without wind and floated high.

The aura that was already incredibly powerful on his body began to rise again. To Cong Qin's astonishment, it reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Cave Realm!

However, at this moment, Luo Baichuan's face was covered with many black hairs, and even billowing demonic energy emanated from him.

Seeing Luo Baichuan's transformation, Cong Qin's face had returned to normal, and he said coldly: "Half-human, half-demon! Your Luo family truly lives up to the name of the Refining Demon lineage!"

"You're asking for it!"

Lu Baichuan suddenly let out a roar, raised his palm, and with a sudden sweep of his hand in the air, the earth immediately emitted a booming sound, shaking violently.

And within this shaking, there was a mountain almost a hundred zhang high, trembling and swaying as it tore itself away from the ground, slowly flying up to the top of the flame barrier.

"Down!"

Luo Baichuan pointed again, and the mountain suddenly fell from the sky, crashing heavily into the flame shield.

At this moment, a look of despair finally appeared in Cong Qin's eyes. He gritted his teeth, his figure suddenly shooting up from the ground, apparently preparing to rush out of the protective barrier and stop the mountain from falling.

However, at this moment, a sigh filled with helplessness suddenly rang out from the cave: "Luo Bai Chuan, I'm out!"

The sound of the roar not only caused the mountain to stop its descent and hover in mid-air, but also made Chong Qin hurriedly turn around and exclaimed, "Master!"

From the depths of the cave, emerged forty to fifty figures. Leading them was an unremarkable middle-aged man, supported by a young man of fifteen or sixteen as he walked out.

This middle-aged man was none other than the shopkeeper of DuYaoGe, Xia Zhongxing, the third son of the Xia family from the Dao clan of the Qing Zhuo Huangjie!

Supporting him, of course, was his son Xia Shi!

Xia Zhongxing looked up at Luo Baichuan with a cold expression and said, "Luo Baichuan, you want to arrest nothing more than my father and son. You let the others leave, we father and son will follow you back to the Luo family!"
