Chapter 1048 - 476: Schemes from All Sides

"Our sect dominates the region, invincible wherever we go. What do you want to say?"

Regarding matters concerning his sect, Li Yunjing’s expression was serious, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Master Zhu Yang, listening on the side, felt a bit dissatisfied.

All sects on the Southern Heaven Continent were powerful, so what was this talk of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" being invincible?

But, given the current situation, where the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was strong, their "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" still had to rely on them. So, they could only accept Li Yunjing’s statement.

"Hehe! How about I join your ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’? With the protection of your sect, no one should casually kill me, right?"

The Long-armed Ape’s eyes turned, expressing its thoughts.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing hesitated.

He couldn’t make the decision!

He turned to look at Ying Qianqian, clearly seeking the opinion of this senior sister.

Ying Qianqian had a prominent background, and with her cultivation in the Golden Core Realm, she was also a commander in the "Black Tortoise Army." Naturally, she had more say in such significant matters.

"Okay! I can arrange for you to enter the sect and become a Guest Minister Elder of our ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’!"

Seeing Li Yunjing’s gaze, Ying Qianqian didn’t hesitate and directly agreed.

A demon king, after all, was a high-combat-power existence.

With the other side willing to come over, it brought many benefits to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". There was no reason to ignore it.

"Hehe! Great! From now on, we are fellow sect members!"

The Long-armed Ape was overjoyed.

This time, it was prepared to risk entering another world. The main reason was that the structure of this world had stabilized.

This was detrimental to its own development.

Moreover, seeing the strength of these humans, the Long-armed Ape had a premonition that the level on the other side seemed higher than this world!

In such a place, fortuitous opportunities would surely be more abundant, beneficial for cultivation.

As for the danger?

Hadn’t it already thought of a solution?

Aligning with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was a good choice!

The Long-armed Ape’s prior choice to leave was to test Li Yunjing’s character, to see if he was someone who kept his word!

The results proved that "Shenxiao Dao Sect" people were quite reliable!

Only then did the Long-armed Ape speak its mind.

This ape’s intelligence was no less than that of humans!

"Alright! Let’s go!"

Having resolved this minor episode, Li Yunjing urged.

Profound Yin Wanderer, Red Eyebrow Old Monster, Yin Fiend Old Demon, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun had already entered the desert, and they were to act according to the plan.

In the center of the desert, near the lair of the "Red Flame Poison Scorpion."

The scorching sand radiated with distorted heat waves, and the air was filled with the scent of burning.

"Those poison scorpions are just ahead!"

The Red Eyebrow Old Monster said in a low voice, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

"Hmph, what’s there to fear? The five of us join forces; even if we can’t win, we can at least hold them back!"

Profound Yin Wanderer sneered coldly, black aura swirling from his sleeve.

"Let’s act in a moment! Let’s not make too much noise! We should first find a position to get to the teleportation array as soon as possible!"

Yin Fiend Old Demon quickly reminded.

They were here to serve as the vanguard, not just for fighting. The main task was to get close to the teleportation array!

If they could arrive safely, there was no need to risk their lives.

That was the most important thing!

"Yes! Yes! Exactly!"

Wang Qian and Wang Kun also reminded on the side.

What’s wrong with this Profound Yin Wanderer’s head?

Why so impulsive!

Isn’t this creating trouble where there was none?

If it weren’t for the situation being unfit for internal conflict, the brothers would have been tempted to give Profound Yin Wanderer a piece of their mind.

As the five were whispering, a faint vibration came from the sand.

"Something’s not right!"

Yin Fiend Old Demon, with the highest cultivation, suddenly changed his expression, swiftly summoning a protective black light.

"Sssss..."

Dozens of little "Red Flame Poison Scorpions" emerged from the sand, their sharp tail stingers gleaming with cold light, instantly surrounding the five!

These "Red Flame Poison Scorpions" were Tier Two little demons, posing no threat to these people.

But with the appearance of these little demons, it likely wouldn’t be long before that "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" would be alerted.

That’s what was truly lethal!

"Damn it! We’ve been discovered!"

The Red Eyebrow Old Monster cursed, hastily summoning a small red flag, flames surrounding him.

"Since our cover is blown, let’s carve out a bloody path!"

Profound Yin Wanderer’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he spoke sinisterly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant, the five Golden Core Realm experts took action, annihilating all the "Red Flame Poison Scorpions" in one fell swoop!

"Stick to the plan! Don’t get bogged down in battle!"

Yin Fiend Old Demon shouted, transforming into a black smoke, dashing towards the teleportation array.

"Alright!"

The remaining four, seeing this, quickly used escape techniques and followed after.

...

From a distant dune, Li Yunjing and others closely observed the battle. As soon as these five were exposed, Ying Qianqian commanded the army to immediately move towards the teleportation array from the side.

The main forces and the five Golden Core Realm experts formed an "A" shape, converging towards the teleportation array.

Of course, the five Golden Core Realm experts were faster, taking the lead as bait, while Li Yunjing’s main forces lagged behind by dozens of miles, moving from another direction.

When they were eighty miles away from the teleportation array, Li Yunjing’s greatest fear materialized.

In front of them, near the teleportation array, a massive shadow slowly rose from the sand. It was the "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King"!

This demon king, entirely crimson like blood, had two giant pincers gleaming with metallic luster. The venom dripping from its tail stinger corroded deep pits into the sand.
