Chapter 868: The Devil Devours the Sword
Swish!
Zhang Qian suddenly stretched out his hand, and the vast mountains and rivers turned into a scroll and a treasure map reappeared. Luo Shikun and tens of thousands of other cultivators had all become pictures in the treasure map.

But as soon as he put the treasure map away, a sharp bell rang out, penetrating through the map of mountains, rivers and the country, and a dazzling fairy light rushed out from the treasure map world.

When the immortal light fell, it was all the cultivators of Tianhuang Sect who were covered by the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell.

Zhang Qian shook his head and murmured, "An innate spiritual treasure is a spiritual treasure. My Mountain and River State Map cannot compete with it, even if it is an innate ninth-level Mountain and River State Map."

It is unlikely to use the Mountain, River, and State Map to suppress Luo Shikun, who possesses an innate spiritual treasure.

So he didn't hold out too much hope. Seeing Luo Shikun escape with the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell, he knew that the other party had this extremely magical innate spiritual treasure to protect him, and he could not do anything to him.

This is the effect of magic weapons. Many cultivators have weak bodies and low cultivation levels, but if they have a mysterious treasure in their hands, they can often make those old seniors who have practiced for who knows how many years helpless, and even suppress them, feeling extremely aggrieved.

If there had not been the protection of the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell, Zhang Qian would have only had to shake the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State, and tens of thousands of Tianhuang Sect cultivators including Luo Shikun would have been instantly sealed inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State, at the mercy of others.

But with the innate spiritual treasure protecting him, Zhang Qian could only helplessly accept it.

"How... is it possible for you to move in stagnant time and space?"

Luo Shikun, who escaped from the Shanhe Shejitu, didn't care about the consequences and asked anxiously.

Just now he had clearly used the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell to freeze the vast land, but Zhang Qian was able to move freely, which made him confused.

"Do you think I will tell you? Luo Shikun, take your people and get out of here. As long as I am here, you will not be able to complete your mission."

Of course he would not tell Luo Shikun that the reason why he could move in stagnant time and space was because the Kunlun Mirror secretly showed its magical powers. Even if the magical power of the treasure mirror could not break through the independent time and space opened up by the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell, it could still make it easy for him to move freely in stagnant time and space.

Luo Shikun gritted his teeth, knowing that it would be fruitless to continue pestering. Moreover, his goal this time was not just to subdue the Peacock King, but also to subdue the numerous terrifying demons in the boundless wilderness.

This is also the reason why the Holy Lord of Tianhuang Sect asked him to bring the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell with him. Otherwise, the catastrophe has already begun, and Tianhuang Sect is in need of an innate spiritual treasure to suppress the sect, and will never let the spiritual treasure leave the sect.

This is a very risky move.

In the depths of the boundless wilderness, there are demons that are more terrifying than the Peacock King. The Zhouguang Dingxian Bell is Luo Shikun's reliance on subduing them.

"Hmph, let's see!"

In the end, Luo Shikun turned around with his men with a grim look and flew towards the boundless wilderness.

The stagnant space and time around Zhang Qian began to flow again.

When the Peacock King was free, he saw Luo Shikun and the others leave, and knew that his calamity was over. He thanked Zhang Qian and said, "Thank you for your trouble. I never thought that I would have such a day."

Zhang Qian waved his hand and said, "Why thank you? Tianhuang Sect has even sent out its innate spiritual treasures. This time they must have great ambitions, which is to subdue those terrifying monsters in the boundless wilderness and use them for their own benefit, and to fight for them in this catastrophe. It may not only be Tianhuang Sect, but other Nine Heavens Sects will also do this, so you have escaped Tianhuang Sect now, but you may not be able to escape other Nine Heavens Sects."

The Peacock King thought for a moment and realized that what Zhang Qian said was true.

This catastrophe has already begun. Since the Tianhuang Sect is willing to use the spiritual treasure of the sect to subdue the demons in the boundless wilderness and make them its own minions, it is impossible for other Jiutian Sects not to take action. Maybe this action of subduing the demons was instructed by the Tiandao Sect. As the world-famous Peacock King, he has a great appeal to the Jiutian Sect. "Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe it is God's will that I will enter the catastrophe."

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Senior, there is no need to sigh. I am planning to develop my own power. Why don't you join me?"

The Peacock King looked at Zhang Qian in surprise and said hesitantly, "Developing a power? Aren't you doing well now? You have the power to dominate the world and you are free. After developing a power, you won't be as free as you are now. Why bother yourself with trouble?"

"We have no choice but to do this because of the circumstances. The danger of this catastrophe is beyond imagination. No matter how much preparation we make, it is not too much!"

Zhang Qian's eyes became extremely solemn. This catastrophe involved Emperor Xi, the World Tree, and even Taihuangtian. The Jiutian Sect and the Ten Emperors' Families were involved. There was also the old monster Tiandao Sect who had been reincarnated for thousands of years, and the resurrected Emperor Pan. Once the catastrophe intensified, the slaughter might cause the annihilation of countless lives in the world, turning the world of Emperor Xi into a desolate place for all living things!
Zhang Qian had decided long ago to develop his own power. Now he had formed an alliance with Mengyouxian and secretly subdued the Emperor Jiedi clan. Together with the True Dragon clan of the ancient dragon world and the remaining Innate Stone Spirit clan, he had become an extremely formidable force. The time had come to establish his own sect.

The experience of the Peacock King made him see an opportunity. If he could get the Peacock King to join the group, it would undoubtedly be a great help.

The Peacock King was decisive. Moreover, Zhang Qian had just saved him. He did not think too long before nodding and saying, "I agree!"

"Great! With the help of the seniors, I am more confident in this catastrophe. Now, I will cause some trouble for Luo Shikun and the others first!"

A teasing smile appeared in his eyes, and then the Demonic Pagoda appeared above his head.

Swish!
An illusory demon jumped out.

As soon as Zhang Qian had a thought, the demon disappeared instantly. When it appeared again, it had arrived at the bottom of the canyon where the Sword-Devouring Ancestor was!
This is the devil's magical power to arrive at a destination as soon as he thinks of it. As long as the place has been visited before, or if someone has demonic thoughts in their mind, the devil can use this magical power to arrive there instantly, ignoring the distance barriers.

This is a magical power that is unique to the Heavenly Demon Clan and there is no possibility for outsiders to learn it.

If Zhang Qian had never been to the South China Sea before, there would not be so much trouble for him to reach the South China Sea. He could just let the Heavenly Demon use his magical power of instant arrival to reach the South China Sea first, and then use the Heavenly Demon Pagoda's shape-shifting technique to arrive from Zhong Shenzhou in an instant.

Unfortunately, the only drawback of the Demon Clan's ability to arrive at a destination instantly with a thought is that it can only be used in a place they have been to before, not in an unfamiliar place.

The demon that appeared at the bottom of the grand canyon in the boundless wilderness began to act according to Zhang Qian's wishes.

Swish!
A black shadow flashed by, and the demon had already rushed into the vicinity of the hall where the Sword-Devouring Ancestor was.

I don't know if it is to guard against the crazy Taoist priest, but this hall is now covered tightly by a sword net woven by the Sword-Eating Ancestor with billions of sword energies. The sword energy that makes up the sword net is very miraculous and endless, circulating over and over again, and is more dangerous than any large formation.

"who!"

Before the demon approached the hall, he was discovered by the Sword-Eating Ancestor. With the Sword-Eating Ancestor's abilities, the demon had no chance of hiding in his eyes.

A terrifying divine sense swept over, and the Sword-Devouring Ancestor recognized at a glance that there was a strange demon outside.

"How dare you, little devil, come to our territory and make trouble? Get out of here!"

The Sword-Devouring Ancestor was too lazy to pay attention to this little devil, but unexpectedly, the devil suddenly flashed a hint of Zhang Qian's aura.
