Chapter 0347: 0347
Shen Xingyao had mentioned that the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu had not pulled any tricks on him . If he really wanted the curse to do anything, it would probably be targeted at Jiu Ying instead .
But Jiu Ying was no longer here . Right after the Crimson Blood Demon's bat demon appeared, he had wanted to kill Wu Yu without any negotiation whatsoever . He had even said some slightly strange things that made Wu Yu suspicious . After some more thought, Wu Yu felt that the whole thing was probably just a coincidence . The bat demon had probably realized that there were others excavating precious treasures near the Endless Demon Seas and had come forward to force their retreat . He probably wanted to slaughter all the Shushan disciples that were defending the place in order to snatch all the treasures for himself .
"If this wasn't the case and he was truly obeying the orders of the Crimson Blood Demon, then he wouldn't want to kill me on sight . After all, the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu probably still needs to use me in some sinister plot of his . "
After he dissociated this event from the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu, things did not seem that complicated anymore .
Wu Yu had gained new insight from the practical experience of this mortal battle . He continued to refine his Jindan with his newfound knowledge .
As of now, danger lurked around every corner . There were demons from the outside and Beishan Mo and friends from within . The enemies on both fronts all had heavy murderous intents, so Wu Yu was unable to feel a sense of safety .
Today was a good example of this . Besides Nangong Wei, truly no one else came to save him . If he had failed to put his strength to use, then the one lying on the ground now would have been him instead of the bat demon .
Things went according to what Wu Yu had guessed . The bat demon's appearance was truly a coincidence, for in the next month or so, not a single demon appeared again . Wu Yu and the rest had been guarding the place for such a long time, but no one else besides him had to face off against a demon .
On the Shushan Immortal Sect's end, they had almost dug to the grand blue jade ore while excavating blue jade gold at the same time . Wu Yu had been down to the mine a few times . The grand blue jade ores' radiance dazzlingly shone through the mines . Apparently, this was the most central piece of grand blue jade ore, and it truly had six clearly discernible spiritual marks .
It was said that even the best of treasures in the mortal realm, be it immortal essences or precious treasures, had at most 10 spiritual marks . The fact that this grand blue jade ore had six of these spiritual marks meant that it had truly been in the divine continent for a long time . It was only through an extended length of time that spiritual qi could accumulate to form such a prized treasure .
Even though he did not come into direct contact with the grand blue jade ore, Wu Yu was able to feel the boundless amounts of spiritual qi from within it just by standing at the side .
Dao treasures and the best precious treasures could definitely be smelted from it . It went without saying that in the entire divine continent, there were only a handful of people who could draft the spirit designs for dao treasures .
Beishan Mo, Mu Lingche, and the rest were full of lofty aspirations as they embarked on this mission, yet they had yet to meet even a single demon . This made them feel rather unfulfilled, and they even suggested going deeper into the Endless Demon Seas to slay a few demons to vent their anger . Nangong Wei had similar intentions as well, but Li Chuxue was concerned about their safety, so she took the risk of offending Beishan Mo and convinced them to give up on such activities .
As such, Beishan Mo was rather displeased these days . After all, even Wu Yu had managed to defeat a demon . He had even killed him as well . On the other hand, he had bragged about wiping out all the demons for Nangong Wei . After so much effort, he finally managed to work together with Nangong Wei, yet there was not even a single drop of blood on his sword thus far .
"Once the grand blue jade ores have been excavated, the blue jade gold will probably be close to completely extracted as well . We'll only have to stay here for a bit longer . Our next order of business is to escort the grand blue jade ore back to the Shushan . " Li Chuxue announced her arrangements .
This was the original plan as well .
Beishan Mo coldly remarked, "Where have all the demons gone? How about we cause a commotion to lure some demons over?"
Li Chuxue exasperatedly replied, "This Yin Yang Mountain is really close to the Endless Demon Seas, yet it's considerably far from our Shushan Immortal Sect . It'd be wise for us to avoid being too brazen . If we're too brash with our actions, demons that are too difficult for us to deal with may appear . After all, you are all the future of our sect . If there was an opportunity to slaughter all of you, the demons would definitely not hold back . "
"Why are you so cowardly?" In the face of Li Chuxue's repeated rejections, Beishan Mo was quite unhappy . As he was about to ignore Li Chuxue and head out looking for demons, waves of an imposing demonic aura suddenly surged over and interrupted their conversation . Their expressions hardened as they flew to the sky to survey what was going on . From afar, there were rolls of black smoke rushing toward them from the direction of the Endless Demon Seas . The ground started to rumble and shake as though an earthquake was occurring . There were even fissures in the ground forming across many areas of Yin Yang Mountain .
Such damage was definitely not caused by only a single demon .
"Why have these demons come only after a month of silence?" Wu Yu was standing beside Nangong Wei as he began to have some suspicions in mind .
The thick, black smoke truly had a vast presence . As it rolled over, it covered a large area of both the sky and the earth .
At least the entire distance from the foot of Yin Yang Mountain to the Endless Demon Seas had been completely engulfed by this thick smoke .
At this very moment, everyone was able to get a clearer look at what was going on . In fact, this black smoke was emerging from an endless horde of wild boars as they charged forward . Looking across the entire land, one could see over 10,000 wild boars . Some of them were as huge as a small hill, and as they trampled on the ground, they caused a resounding rumble that split the surface of the earth . They had bloodshot eyes and sharp tusks, and the dense, spear-like furs on their pitch black bodies made others tremble with fear . Even the smallest of these wild boars was almost as large as an elephant .
Of these 10,000 wild boars, it went without saying that each one had gained sentience . They were definitely formidable demons!
Liu Jin's voice cracked as he yelled out, "Wild boar demons? The Black Smoke King is here!"
Wu Yu had heard from them that close to Yin Yang Mountain, the territory within the Endless Demon Seas that was closest to this place was seized by a wild boar demon . This wild boar demon called himself the Black Smoke King, and apparently he had over 10,000 young wild boar demons at his command . These countless cliff tops were the wild boar demons' turf . They wandered around the Endless Demon Seas and frequently came out to capture cultivators . Even though they were not that intelligent, they were tyrannical in their actions . As a matter of fact, Liu Jin was always trembling in fear here because he was afraid of the Black Smoke King finding them .
