Despite his extensive experience, the scene before him still took him by surprise.
On the beach in front of them, there was a huge bronze cauldron, suspended high in the air.
This giant cauldron should be the 'Dragon-Subduing Cauldron'.
Centered on the Fulong Cauldron, countless dense red dots extend downwards, forming a giant red net.
Within the giant net, a gigantic beast is trapped.
This enormous beast was incredibly large, several times larger than the Fire Qilin.
The strange beast resembled an ox, with a bluish-green body and no horns on its head.
Beneath its enormous body lies only one massive foot.
This strange beast has an extremely fierce appearance.
However, at this moment, it looks somewhat comical and cute.
"Aww..."
Trapped in the giant red net, the Kui Niu was enraged, letting out roars of fury.
Unexpectedly, its roar alone killed several members of the demonic sect.
The formidable strength of the Kui Niu is evident!
However, no matter how it roared or resisted, the seemingly fragile red net was indestructible and withstood the Kui Niu's attacks time and time again.
Atop the giant cauldron stood a figure, casting a spell to control the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron.
Li Yao guessed that this person should be Wan Renwang, the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect.
There were also many men in black around the Fulong Cauldron.
These men in black should all be experts from the Ghost King Sect.
Besides the man in black, there was also a girl wearing a light green dress.
Presumably, she must be Biyao.
At this moment, Wan Renwang on the Fulong Cauldron had already turned his gaze toward Li Yao.
Li Yao was surprised; he hadn't expected that Wan Renwang's five senses were so sharp.
"What a huge beast!"
"It's even larger than the Spirit Venerable of our Qingyun Sect!"
"..."
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan, Tian Buyi, Cangsong, and others also arrived one after another.
They were also stunned by the enormous beast before them.
Zhang Xiaofan spotted Biyao and his expression changed. He murmured to himself, "It's her!"
Although the sound was very soft, Li Yao, with his keen senses, still heard it.
Li Yao smiled inwardly. It seemed that Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao were truly destined for each other.
Lin Jingyu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what kind of strange beast is this?"
Li Yao said, "If I am not mistaken, this should be the legendary ancient beast, the Kui Niu!"
"Kui Niu?"
Most of the people present had never heard of this strange beast.
However, Tian Buyi and Cangsong were well-informed and had heard of the Kui Niu.
Tian Buyi explained, "It is said that the Kui Niu is an ancient mythical beast, shaped like a blue ox, with one leg and no horns, and its roar is like thunder. It lives in the deep sea and only appears once every three thousand years. It is the mount of the Thunder God."
Su Ru frowned, puzzled, and said, "The people of the Demonic Sect have gathered at Liubo Mountain. Is it just to capture the Kui Niu? Why do they want to capture the Kui Niu? Is there some ulterior motive behind it?"
Tian Buyi said, "It's very possible, so we can't let the evil cult succeed in their plot!"
At that moment, the members of the Demonic Sect discovered Li Yao and his group.
Among them were a pale-faced scholar and a veiled woman, leading a group of members of the Demonic Sect, who surrounded them.
It seems they want to prevent Li Yao and his group from getting close to the Kui Niu.
Cangsong shouted sternly, "Azure Dragon, what is your purpose in capturing the Kui Niu?"
Judging from Cangsong's tone, they must have met before.
The Azure Dragon, dressed as a pale-faced scholar, laughed heartily and said, "I didn't expect you to recognize the Kui Niu!"
Then, his gaze fell on Li Yao, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. May I ask how to address him?"
At this moment, within the Demonic Sect, a bald old man pointed at Li Yao and said, "I recognize him; Bai Duzi died at his hands just now."
This bald old man is none other than the Duanmu Patriarch of Jieshi Mountain.
Upon hearing Elder Duanmu's words, Qinglong, the masked Youji, and other members of the Demonic Sect all changed color.
Bai Duzi was a well-known figure in the Demonic Sect, yet he died at the hands of the young man before his eyes.
It's unbelievable.
Li Yao smiled and said calmly, "I am Li Yao, the sect leader of the Peerless Sect."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Demonic Sect, including Qinglong, changed color once again.
Chapter 347 True Masters Don't Reveal Their Skills
The name Li Yao had been heard by members of the Demonic Sect as early as five years ago.
Five years ago, the Blood Refining Hall suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
However, a few remnants of the Blood Refining Hall escaped from the Ten Thousand Bats Cave.
Only then did the other members of the demonic sect learn that the Blood Refining Hall had been destroyed by a man named Li Yao.
Most of the disciples of the Blood Refining Hall have joined the Peerless Sect.
At that time, neither Li Yao nor the Wushuang Sect had any reputation.
Moreover, the disciples of the Peerless Sect rarely engage in outside activities.
Therefore, the members of the Demonic Cult did not take the destruction of the Blood Refining Hall seriously.
However, several events that occurred later made the members of the Demonic Sect remember Li Yao and the Peerless Sect once again.
Firstly, two years ago, it was said that the Vampire Demon went to the Peerless Sect to seek revenge on Li Yao for killing his disciple, and then the Vampire Demon mysteriously disappeared.
Secondly, not long ago, in the Ten Thousand Bats Cave, three disciples of the Peerless Sect actually killed quite a few members of the Demonic Sect.
In this way, everyone in the Demonic Sect remembered a man named Li Yao, as well as the little-known Peerless Sect.
The members of the Demonic Sect never expected that the young man before them was actually Li Yao, the sect leader of the Peerless Sect.
They were even more surprised to learn that Li Yao had also killed Bai Duzi.
Qinglong frowned, cupped his hands and said, "So you are the sect leader of the Peerless Sect. You are truly a hidden master."
Li Yao smiled slightly and said calmly, "You flatter me. I think Fellow Daoist Qinglong is the real hidden master!"
Qinglong's cultivation level is indeed not to be underestimated. In the Ghost King Sect, his cultivation level is probably second only to Ghost King Wanrenwang.
Qinglong's expression remained completely unchanged in the face of Li Yao's praise.
Instead, he asked, "There's something I really want to understand. Two years ago, the old vampire from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect searched for you everywhere, but then mysteriously disappeared for some unknown reason?"
"You're talking about the vampire demon, aren't you!"
Li Yao smiled faintly and said, "His cultivation is profound. He ascended to immortality two years ago."
Upon hearing this, Qinglong and the others all changed color.
Of course, they wouldn't believe Li Yao's nonsense.
Throughout history, there have been countless cultivators in the world, but no one has ever been known to ascend to immortality.
In other words, the vampire demon has already died at Li Yao's hands.
The Blood-Sucking Demon, whose cultivation was even higher than Bai Duzi's, unexpectedly died at Li Yao's hands.
It seems that Li Yao's cultivation level is indeed extraordinary.
Not only were the members of the demonic sect like Qinglong astonished, but even the righteous people like Cangsong and Tian Buyi were taken aback.
It is truly unbelievable that the two old demons of the Demonic Sect, the Vampire Demon and the Poison Master, died one after the other at the hands of Li Yao.
Qinglong glanced at the Ghost King who was subduing the Kui Niu not far away, and then said to Li Yao in a deep voice, "Your cultivation is profound, I admire you. I am not so talented, but I would like to learn from your skills."
Right now, they must hold off Li Yao and his group to prevent them from thwarting the Ghost King's plan.
After saying that, he gave You Ji and the others a wink.
Immediately, his spiritual power surged, and his right hand emitted a bright blue light as he raised it high to the sky. A ring on his hand continuously condensed blue light, becoming more dazzling than ever before.
Then, he slightly arched his body, quickly gathering his strength.
The next moment, he suddenly threw a punch at Li Yao.
Although it seemed like a simple punch, it had already gathered seventy or eighty percent of the Azure Dragon's magical power.
Li Yao looked at the ring on Qinglong's finger and couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.
This is the Qiankun Qingguang Ring?!
The Qiankun Qingguang Ring is an extremely powerful magic weapon, a divine item from the Nine Heavens, but it has been missing for a thousand years and is now in the hands of the Azure Dragon.
Facing the imposing azure fist aura, Li Yao smiled faintly, flipped his hands to form a hand seal, and with a flick of his palm, a golden, shimmering palm print with the Wuji pattern met the fist aura head-on.
With a deafening roar, blue and gold lights shot into the sky, illuminating the entire night.
Qinglong felt a powerful impact that forced his body to fly backward, tumbling several times in the air before finally coming to a stop.
"Such powerful cultivation!"
Qinglong felt a churning sensation in his chest and abdomen. He struggled to suppress it and managed to stabilize his internal energy.
