This is a special ban on the people who practice Qi. This is the main reason why Lu Xuan, the owner of Penglai Island, tried his best to invite Xiao Han to Penglai fairyland. In order to reassure Xiao Han, Lu Xuan, the master of Penglai Island, promised Xiao Han that Penglai Island would be responsible for protecting Xiao Han's family and brothers, as well as the women around him.
The main reason is that Xiao Hangang was just at the peak of Yuanying period. Compared with the night dragon Xuan of Wudang school and Wang Mang of Kunlun school, Xiao Han was not inferior to others. In Penglai fairyland, Xiao Han was more likely to bring back the most precious neon and feather clothes of Penglai Island.
And the strong among the demons, if they want to enter Penglai fairyland, their strength should at least reach the level of magic soldiers, but not beyond the level of magic commander.
Just like Berger, the first master of the demons, who had just entered Penglai fairyland, it was obvious that Berger had not yet reached the level of magic commander, but had surpassed the level of Magic general. He was about to enter the level of magic commander until he entered Penglai fairyland, and finally entered the level of magic commander with the help of devouring evil spirits.
But how did Xiao Han meet that demon level master to enter Penglai fairyland?
You know, if you want to step into the level of demon king in such a short time, it means that before entering Penglai fairyland, at least the strength above the magic commander level is possible.
However, it is obvious that in Penglai fairyland, during the immortal devil war more than a thousand years ago, when the leaders of the eight human sects jointly sealed the demon king, they tried their best to reverse the operation rules of Penglai fairyland. It was also good for the people who entered Penglai fairyland to train their Qi, or whether they were masters of the demons, all set limits on their strength.
In fact, the purpose of the eight leaders of the Terran is very simple. The main reason why they set restrictions on the strength of the people on both sides of Penglai fairyland is to prevent the demon king who is sealed at the foot of Zhenmo mountain to escape easily.
If the demons enter the Penglai fairyland, the strong ones are too strong. I'm afraid that even if there is no way to break the seal and release the demon lord, the powerful demon master will surely try to weaken the seal ability of Zhenmo mountain. One day, the demon king of the demon clan may be released by the strong one of the demons.
On the other hand, the leaders of the eight major sects consider letting the younger generation of the Terran practitioners exercise in Penglai fairyland. In this way, the overall strength of the Terran Qi practitioners can be continuously improved, and the power of the demons will be slowly consumed.
However, what the eight leaders of the Terran family who set the seal at the beginning did not expect that the entrance of Penglai fairyland had been opened three times. Every time the Terran practitioners entered Penglai fairyland, they were suppressed by the demons.
Even if you can leave Penglai fairyland alive, there are very few young masters of Qi training. If you include those who are seriously injured and severely damaged, I'm afraid that less than one percent of them are masters of the younger generation.
The strong ones who enter Penglai fairyland are relatively better. At least every time they enter Penglai fairyland, the powerful demons have more advantages than the Terrans.
Although the number of Terran Qi practitioners who enter Penglai fairyland is far more than the strong ones of the demons, the strong ones of the demons can control and mobilize the first-order and second-order demons in Penglai fairyland to participate in the battle. As a result, the Terran Qi practitioners in Penglai fairyland have to gather and gather near Lingxiao City in Penglai fairyland Resist the attack of demons.
Now, the new situation here makes all the people in the audience very pessimistic.
You know, if there is a demon level master in the demons, then the strength comparison between the Terran Qi practitioners and the demons in Penglai fairyland will be too big. There is no master who can compete with the strong ones at the demon level, at least in the short term.
Therefore, Xiao Han brought back this news is too much to hit the confidence of the scene.
All of them were the top ten experts in Lingxiao city. After hearing the news brought back by Xiao Han, it was inevitable that they would be disheartened. If the news of the demon king level strongmen among the demons was spread out, other clansmen in Lingxiao city would know what kind of waves would be set off!
At this time, even Xiao Han can think of the consequences. The morale of the disciples of the whole Lingxiao city will inevitably be affected. In this way, the original situation is not conducive to the cultivation of human spirit, and the situation will become worse.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han saw that the atmosphere on the field was really a little low, and quickly stood up and said: "in my opinion, there should be a reason that the demon king level master doesn't make a move. Otherwise, it can't be done at such a critical time."
Although Xiao Han has not finished, we all understand Xiao Han's meaning. If Xiao Han didn't go to trace the hiding place of the demon clan today, I'm afraid that demon level master would not have stood up to intercept Xiao Han.
In this way, Xiao Han can also be regarded as the place where the demon clan is hiding. It should be in the place where Xiao Han meets the demon king named Rudy just now.It's just that Xiao Han thinks that Rudy will stay. He doesn't want to see any one of the people practicing Qi in three days, or he will kill one if he sees one!
Xiao Han is not afraid of Rudy's words. Xiao Han knows that there is a demon level master in the demon clan's team. Even if Xiao Han wants to take all the Renqi practitioners of Lingxiao city to sneak attack or attack the demon camp, it is futile.
According to Xiao Han's conjecture, three days should be enough for magic Shuai Berg to heal. Originally, in Xiao Han's opinion, this time is a great opportunity to beat the running dogs and clean up the demon masters. Today, Xiao Han went out to look for the hiding places of the demons with such an idea.
Otherwise, Xiao Han can sit comfortably in the Lingxiao city just like other Terran Qi practitioners. Where else do you need to run out to find the hiding place of demons.
As long as Xiao Han finds the hiding place of the demons, and then takes all the Terran practitioners to besiege the hiding places of the demons, even if there is no way to kill all the demons, at least it can make those demons' vitality hurt again.
This is Xiao Han's imagination, and also the real reason why Xiao Han went alone to explore the hiding place of demons.
But Xiao Han also has no other way, the other side has a demon king to sit down.
At this time, master Kuki of Prajna temple said with a wry smile: "if there is a demon king in the demons' team, then there is no doubt that all the people in Lingxiao city will be inferior. But Xiao Hangang also said that the demon king level master in the demon clan did not attack him. In this way, it may be because of that name Before the demon king, there is a reason why he can't do it, so that we can't worry about it! "
Hearing this, Xiao Han and other Terran masters can only comfort themselves in this way.
You know, the magic commander level master named Berg has already put a lot of pressure on the Terrans in Lingxiao city.
From the beginning of the battle in Lingxiao city to now, under the leadership of magic Shuai Berg, the powerful demons attack the Terran Qi practitioners of Lingxiao city. In addition, the strong demons are assisted by a large number of first-order and second-order magic spiders. Originally, there were at least 3000 people in the whole LingXiao City.
After many days of fighting, there are fewer than 3400 people in Lingxiao city.
It can be said that under the leadership of a magic Shuai Berg, the strong demons brought great casualties to the whole Lingxiao city's Terran Qi practitioners.
Now?
Now the situation has to be more complicated, not to mention Xiao Han. Everyone at the scene is afraid.
A strong demon level, at least to cultivate the realm and is to the channeling period of the master to be able to compete with it.
However, the highest level of cultivation and strength of the whole Lingxiao city's clan Qi practitioners is just Xiao Han's cultivation realm in the middle of the period of tongxuan, which is still a long way from the spiritual realm.
Even Xiao Han is like this, let alone the other people at the scene practicing Qi.
All the people present know that master deadwood's words are more to comfort everyone. Who knows whether the next demon king will appear in the battle.
As long as he makes a move, I'm afraid that the whole clan of Lingxiao city will suffer.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoqiang, who burned the heaven palace, did not forget to remind everyone that there was a super strong man of demon level among the demons. For the time being, we should not let other people in Lingxiao city know about this matter. After all, if this event is spread, it will have a great impact on the morale of the whole Lingxiao city.
All the people present agreed.
Next, today's things are almost the same. Xiao Han told the people in charge of these mountains of this important discovery, which can be regarded as having done his duty. Sometimes, Xiao Han can not solve the problems behind.
As soon as Xiao Han came out of the hall, a figure rushed to him.
"Xiao Han, are you ok? I heard you were hurt? "
Looking at the rushing night rain, Xiao Han smiles.
"It's OK. It's just a little hurt."
Who knows the night rain ruthlessly glared at Xiao Han, complained: "small injury small injury, you always say a little injury!"
Xiao Han said with a smile: "it's really OK!"
Said, in order to let the night rain believe that he is really all right, Xiao Han is still in place to turn a few circles.
