Peerless Taoist

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Yu had already teleported to the vicinity of the Green Cloud Mountain.    

Looking around, the majestic Kunlun Mountain was like a colossus floating in the void. It was a magnificent sight. When everyone saw this enormous mountain range, they felt an unprecedented fear in their hearts.    

Back then, this place was the Great Demon Ox's dojo. The Great Demon Ox had a forthright personality and was friendly with others. Thus, this place was quite prosperous.    

However, ever since the great calamity, the entire Green Cloud Mountain had turned into scorched earth. Scorch marks were everywhere.    

All the demons had been forcefully transferred to Planet East Victory by Lu Yu's supernatural means. This place had instantly turned barren.    

It had only been a month, but the surroundings had already become extremely desolate. The sound of the wind wafting through the air was chilling to the skin.    

"Hmm? This black fog!"    

Lu Yu looked at the black fog around the Green Cloud Mountain and was suddenly shocked.    

He could feel a dense murderous aura in the black fog. It was something that would only appear on the bodies of those evil beings.    

These evil beings were formed from the evil thoughts of Li Xinghe. After Li Xinghe died, they were born in his body. Now, they had already developed to an unbelievable extent.    

"Could it be that the evil beings in the Eight Trigram Furnace have become a bit stronger? That's right, before the Eight Trigram Furnace, Li Xinghe's residual soul was still controlling it, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword was also restricting it. Now that Li Xinghe has died, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword has also been taken away by me. The balance there has been broken."    

When Lu Yu thought of this, he frowned slightly, but he was not afraid.    

His current strength was already incomparable to the past. Even if he was facing those Heavenly Realm evil beings, he was not afraid at all.    

Suddenly, Lu Yu noticed that there were actually some Demon cultivators hidden in the forest not far away.    

Most of these Demon cultivators were experts at the World Lord Realm. Only one of them was actually a Demon Daolord. It was a phoenix, and its eyes were dark green, revealing a bright light.    

Their strength was not bad, but at this moment, they were hiding in the dark, and they were using spells to cover up their bodies and auras, preventing others from discovering them. They were very low-key.    

With a thought, Lu Yu immediately appeared behind the group of people.    

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lu Yu asked.    

A sudden voice appeared behind the group of demonic cultivators, causing them to jump in fright.    

"Who?" The demonic cultivators turned around as if they were frightened by a bird.    

When they saw Lu Yu coming alone, a look of confusion flashed across their eyes. They vigilantly guarded their surroundings, and unexpectedly let Lu Yu quietly appear behind them.    

"You must be from the Phoenix Clan. Why are you sneaking around here?"    

Lu Yu looked at the demonic cultivators and said indifferently.    

Hearing Lu Yu expose their identities, the demonic cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They looked as if they were facing a great enemy. Their gazes were like sharp swords as they landed on Lu Yu.    

A murderous aura appeared around them.    

Suddenly, the leading Phoenix Daolord coughed and said in a deep voice, "Don't make a move!"    

She had already transformed into a beautiful woman in red. At this moment, she was looking at Lu Yu with vigilance in her eyes. "I am Feng Yan, the protector of Great Sage Feng Xia. Since you can see through our hiding place with a single glance, you must be quite strong. What do you mean by this?"    

"Great Sage Feng Xia?"    

Lu Yu thought for a while. He seemed to have heard the name of this Demon Saint from the Demon Ox.    

Back then, there were many Demon Saint in the Kunlun Galaxy, and they were all persuaded by the Demon Ox to join the Great Qin Dynasty.    

However, there were still some Great Saint of the royal family who had already tied themselves together with the Ji Family, and they were unable to be easily separated. Thus, they stayed in the Great Zhou Dynasty.    

This Great Sage Feng Xia was one of them.    

The Great Zhou Dynasty was extremely ancient. It had once established a good relationship with the four great Divine Beast Clans.    

However, as time passed, many of the once powerful Divine Beast Clans had already declined, and some of them had even abandoned their Demon Race bloodline and gradually turned into humans.    

Only the Phoenix Clan remained strong and undefeated, and there were countless experts in the clan.    

This Great Sage Feng Xia had a profound cultivation level and a long lifespan. She had already cultivated to an extremely powerful level, and even the Demon Ox did not dare to easily provoke her.    

Ji Wenchang had once sat with the Great Sage Feng Xia and discussed the Dao. In the end, the Great Sage Feng Xia was subdued by Ji Wenchang, and she submitted to the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was also made one of the High Officials of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.    

Over the years, the Phoenix Clan had also engaged in many marriages with many prestigious clans of the Great Zhou Empire. Over the years, they had also accumulated enough reputation in the Great Zhou Empire.    

"So it's the people of the Wind Clan."    

Lu Yu nodded his head and said, "I just arrived here and am not clear about what happened here. I will ask you about it."    

Hearing Lu Yu's words, all the demon cultivators present could not help but heave a sigh of relief.    

"So that's how it is. The Marquis of the Mountain Guard who was in charge of this place had left. Emerald Cloud Mountain quickly became a land of ruins. The Demon Clan who originally lived in Emerald Cloud Mountain, I don't know where they went to, but all of them disappeared overnight."    

Feng Yan sighed and said, "However, although the Demon Clan left, there are still some remnants of treasures in Emerald Cloud Mountain. Therefore, there are often people who come here to find treasures."    

Lu Yu thought for a moment and immediately understood.    

Although he had transferred all of the Demon Clan away, the Demon Clan had been operating here for many years. It was inevitable that there would be some places where treasures were hidden.    

Although these treasures were hidden, they could not withstand the persistence of the treasure hunters. There were often people who found good things here.    

"Originally, the Mountain Protector was leading the Great Zhou soldiers here to guard this place. The others did not dare to come here. However, after the Mountain Protector was transferred away, no one was left to guard this place. Many people came here."    

Feng Yan said, "The Saint of my Phoenix Clan, Feng Kaixuan, also came here to look for treasures."    

"However, a few days ago, a group of cultivators suddenly came and surrounded the Green Cloud Mountain. No one was allowed to enter or leave. At the last moment, we received the Saint's distress call and immediately rushed over to rescue him."    

Lu Yu looked in the direction of the Green Cloud Mountain and asked, "Can't you enter?"    

Feng Yan revealed a bitter smile and said, "These people are extremely powerful. They don't know where these hidden sects came from. We have never heard of them before, but there are many powerful experts who are not weaker than me."    

"After we were repelled, they seemed to be unwilling to let us go. They searched the surrounding forests, as if they wanted to kill us. However, we are not prepared to stop here. If we don't rescue the Saint, we will be held accountable."
