The font is strong and powerful!
The palace gates were wide and solemn, with several long yellow banners hanging from the crossbeams, fluttering in the wind.
The banner has paintings and words on it, the handwriting is strange and hard to decipher, and the paintings depict all kinds of strange scenes, such as a paradise where all living beings are happy, or a hellish scene of evil ghosts, which are frightening to look at.
"We've finally found the Demonic Cult's Holy Temple!"
Li Yao was stunned by the imposing aura of the Demonic Sect's Holy Temple before him.
He hadn't expected that the Demonic Sect's Holy Temple, in terms of both its imposing presence and its size, would be several levels stronger than Qingyun Mountain.
This is true depth!
In fact, the Demonic Sect is an ancient sect with a long history, even longer than the Qingyun Sect, which has the longest history in the Central Plains.
"Huh, what's that?"
Suddenly, Li Yao's gaze was drawn to a dark, abyss-like phantom in front of the Demonic Sect's Holy Temple.
The phantom was above the tower in the square in front of the palace, like a bottomless abyss, upside down in the void.
Within it lies endless, profound darkness, and it seems as if countless eerie things are lurking in the shadows, stirring restlessly, as if they might burst forth at any moment.
An indescribable eeriness and terror hung over the entire square in front of the temple.
"Could that be the legendary Abyss?"
Li Yao frowned slightly.
He vaguely remembered that the Demonic Sect's Underworld was mentioned in "The Legend of Zhu Xian".
Legend has it that the Underworld is a passage to a mysterious world, containing immense power and countless wondrous opportunities.
Once you enter the Abyss, you can obtain an opportunity and ascend to heaven in one step.
For example, Qiu Wangyu, the former leader of the Demonic Sect, was originally just an unknown nobody in the Hall of Longevity.
By chance, he entered the Abyss of the Underworld. After emerging, his cultivation level increased dramatically, and he subsequently unified the Demonic Sect.
From then on, he became a powerful and influential figure, dominating the world.
If he hadn't suffered a loss at the hands of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword on Qingyun Mountain, his future achievements would likely have been even more limitless.
Strangely, none of the powerful figures of the demonic sect who entered the Abyss throughout history have ever uttered a single word about how they opened it, entered it, or what they saw within.
Therefore, even members of the Demonic Sect were almost entirely unaware of this.
This adds another layer of mystery to the Underworld.
The entrance to the Abyss is located in the Asura Tower atop Demon Mountain.
Later, Wan Jianyi led Tian Buyi, Shang Zhengliang, and Zeng Shuchang to storm the Demonic Sect's Holy Temple, disrupting the Demonic Sect's experts' vision, while Cangsong took the opportunity to destroy the Shura Tower.
From then on, no one in the Demonic Sect ever saw the Underworld Abyss again.
Now it seems that the tower in front of the palace square should be the Shura Tower, which has been repaired.
If Li Yao's deduction is correct, the huge dark phantom above the Asura Tower is very likely the Netherworld Abyss.
It seems that everyone wants to go through the Underworld to obtain the opportunities within and revive the Demonic Sect.
After some research, Wanrenwang has found a way to open the Abyss.
However, the Abyss never closes immediately after it is opened.
The illusory figures that Li Yao saw were inaccessible to real people.
Such a phantom can persist for a period of time, but the duration is not stable; it can last for one or two years or even decades.
However, it was ultimately just an illusion. There was no way to enter, and people couldn't get in, so there was no chance.
Li Yao saw that there were many members of the Demonic Cult guarding the area around the Asura Tower.
Therefore, it is possible that Wanrenwang has only found a way to open the Abyss, but not yet a way to enter it.
"Look! There's a giant bird in the sky!"
"It really is a giant bird!"
"My goodness, what a huge bird! I've never seen such a big bird before!"
"How did this giant bird end up here?"
"Why is this giant bird flying around here? Could it be a threat to our Holy Church?"
"A giant bird is flying this way!"
"It looks like there's a person sitting on the back of the giant bird!"
"Oh no, they might be the enemy!"
"Quickly inform the leader!"
"..."
The group of demonic cult members surrounding the Asura Tower were thrown into chaos when they saw the giant yellow bird flying towards them.
Immediately, alarms blared throughout the entire Demonic Cult Temple, and a large number of Demonic Cult members flocked to the square in front of the temple.
A short while later, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar appeared in the square, surrounded by a group of believers.
Li Yao, positioned high above, had a clear view of the situation in the square.
The scribe who emerged from the temple was none other than the Ghost King Wanrenwang.
Beside Wanrenwang was a person who was a little older than Wanrenwang.
Although Li Yao did not recognize this person, he could tell that the person's cultivation was quite remarkable and that he must be an important figure in the Demonic Sect.
In fact, this person is Baihu, one of the four holy envoys.
He had previously gone to the Death Swamp in search of rare treasures and was deeply shocked by the huge pit left by Li Yao.
He had only recently returned to the Demonic Cult's Holy Temple.
Li Yao let the yellow bird slowly descend from the sky, and then he leaped off the bird's back.
Meanwhile, a group of members of the Demonic Cult in the square surrounded Li Yao with extremely tense and vigilant expressions.
At the same time, they were also stunned by the enormous size of the yellow bird.
"Ghost King, how have you been?"
Li Yao smiled slightly, his expression calm and unhurried as he walked towards Wan Renwang, bowing slightly to him.
A group of members of the Demonic Cult surrounded Li Yao, all staring at him with hostility and deep fear, not daring to make a move against him.
The person who could control such a huge bird was clearly no ordinary person.
"It's you?"
When Wanren discovered it was Li Yao, he was surprised.
Chapter 382 History Always Repeats Itself
"How did he find my Holy Temple?"
Why did he come here?
Upon seeing Li Yao's appearance, two questions immediately popped into Wan Renwang's mind.
Some time ago, his long-planned scheme to destroy the Qingyun Sect was thwarted by Li Yao, a variable.
Meanwhile, Yu Yangzi, the Poison God, and the Three Wonders Fairy, among other masters of the Demonic Cult, all died at the hands of Li Yao.
If it weren't for Qinglong and Mr. Gui sacrificing themselves to stop Li Yao, he would probably have perished at Li Yao's hands as well.
Although he took advantage of the deaths of elite masters from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Joyful Union Sect, and the Longevity Hall at Qingyun Mountain, and the resulting weakness of these three powerful sects, he annihilated them all, unified the Demonic Sect, and became its leader.
However, the battle at Qingyun Sect severely weakened the Demonic Sect, rendering it unable to contend with the righteous path.
Therefore, he hid in the temple in the desolate northwest and dared not set foot in the Central Plains again.
The Savage Temple is located in the desert and is very secluded; few people know its exact location.
I never expected Li Yao to find this place!
History always repeats itself.
How similar this scene is to what happened a hundred years ago!
Wanrenwang still remembers the great war between good and evil a hundred years ago, when the evil sect launched a massive invasion of Qingyun Mountain.
As a result, the Qingyun Sect used the Zhuxian Sword Formation and defeated the Demonic Sect.
The elite leaders of the Demonic Sect retreated to the Savage Temple.
Later, Wan Jianyi and four other disciples of the Qingyun Sect actually stormed into the Holy Temple, catching the Demonic Sect off guard and even destroying the Shura Tower in front of the Holy Temple.
Although Wanrenwang was not directly involved in this matter at the time.
However, he also heard the details of the matter.
Now, the same demonic sect is launching a massive invasion of Qingyun Mountain.
The demonic sect suffered a crushing defeat and retreated to the Holy Temple.
Similarly, someone suddenly appeared at the temple.
The only difference is that everything now is related to Li Yao.
What shocked Wanrenwang even more was that he discovered that the giant bird Li Yao was riding seemed to be the same yellow bird recorded on the inscription on the Fulong Cauldron.
He knew that the yellow bird was naturally proud and extremely difficult to tame.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao not only tamed the yellow bird, but also made it his mount.
That's incredible!
"Master, who is this person?"
Seeing the shocked look on Wanrenwang's face, Baihu couldn't help but ask.
The cult leader rarely shows such an expression!
