Chapter 813: Chapter 352: Ghost True Body, Demon Peng Hunting Monsters_2

Following that, he flew forward.

He was not familiar with the Pengmo Demon Territory, there wasn’t much information in the Xuancang Palace of Immortal Court either, Han Yi could only explore on his own.

This was also one of the most difficult aspects of this mission: the lack of knowledge.

As for the other aspect, it was the mission itself.

His current mission was: go to the Pengmo Demon Territory and kill ten Demon Pengs.

This mission sounded simple, but in reality, it was extremely difficult to accomplish.

The former demon lord of the Pengmo Demon Territory was Pengmo Demon Monarch, and the targets of this mission were his clan members, the Mopeng Clan.

Han Yi speculated that this mission must have belonged to Yuan Qinghong, and it must have just been obtained after the demise of Pengmo Demon Monarch.

As for this mission, it appears inconclusive on its own, but Han Yi found some records in a certain ancient book in the Xuancang Palace that drew a connection between this mission and his task in Gu Chang Immortal City: slaying three thousand evil ghosts.

He learnt that by combining the blood of a Mopeng demon with the Ghost Core of the Ghost Clan, one can cultivate a technique called the Ghost True Body.

If his conjecture was correct, Yuan Qinghong must have set his foot on a similar path of the Immortal Dao, which is why he undertook these two consecutive, related quests.

The Ghost is a powerful type of ancient evil, which has not been seen in the Daluo Immortal Realm for many years.

Han Yi, who had undertaken both quests, was obviously interested in this mysterious technique related to the ancient evils.

He noticed that the system of Immortal Dao and the Ancient God System share many similarities, or to be more straightforward, they come from the same lineage.

He also wanted to verify whether the demons, who had achieved a foothold in the Immortal Realm, were also related to these two systems.

Because of this, he chose the Ghost True Body as his breakthrough point for this quest.

With his thoughts flickering, Han Yi flew over the Demon Territory and saw nothing but wilderness and mountain ranges. Occasionally, he passed over some small tribes of the Evil Clan.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, his eyes lit up. Tens of miles ahead of him, a grand Evil City had been erected amidst the mountains. The city was vast and ancient, and the oppressive demonic aura was astonishing.

To hunt the Demon Pengs, Han Yi naturally needed to identify their habitat, and it was only after he found their location that he could devise a plan to assassinate, bait, or forcibly kill the Demon Pengs and collect their blood.

Han Yi did not enter the Evil City directly, instead, he landed about ten miles away from the city and waited for less than the time of an incense stick before a member of the Evil Saint flew over his head. Han Yi flashed into the sky with his Shadow Realm supernatural power, only to appear behind the Evil Saint.

With his current strength, he easily overpowered the mid-stage Nascent Soul Evil Saint. Then, using his Soul-searching Secret Skill, all the memories of the Evil Saint were extracted and condensed into a soul shadow inside his body.

After briefly browsing through the Evil Saint’s memories, Han Yi’s face turned cold, and he threw the residual soul of the Evil Saint into the Soul Mirror Space created by the Soul-binding Skill.

If the Evil Saint had been a kind person, Han Yi would naturally have spared his life. However, the contents of the soul shadow revealed that the actions of this demon cultivator had provoked Han Yi’s desire to kill.

In the Demon Territory, there naturally existed members of the Human Clan, but these humans were all low-level cultivators, or even mortals. The fate of mortals in the Demon Territory was predictable, and this Evil Saint that Han Yi had encountered had eaten his fair share of humans, naturally stirring up Han Yi’s murderous intent.

However.

This was not the purpose of his current visit to the Demon Territory.

A moment later.

Han Yi used his shape-changing Divine Ability to transform into the Evil Saint and headed straight for the Evil City.

This city was called Demon Lion Evil City, ruled by a Profound Immortal-level nine-headed Demon Lion. Coincidentally, the Evil Saint whom Han Yi had just replaced was of the Demon Lion clan.

Upon reaching the Demon Lion Evil City, the guards on duty at the city gate were puzzled by Han Yi’s sudden return but did not dare to stop him. He was a member of the city lord’s clan. If they were to stop him and get killed as a result, then they would die in vain.

After entering the Demon Lion Evil City, Han Yi quickly sought the transmission array, and once the transmission array was activated, he was teleported to another Evil City tens of thousands of miles away.

This was the higher-level Evil City called Fire Elephant Evil City, ruled by a Golden Immortal-level rare Fire Elephant.

This Fire Elephant was originally a subordinate of Pengmo Demon Monarch. Following the demise of the Demon Monarch, the Fire Elephant began to compete for the position of the lord of the Pengmo Demon Territory.

There were also six other Golden Immortal demons contending for the same position.

The contention among these seven golden immortals for the lordship of a territory has plunged the Pengmo Demon Territory into chaos.

However.

The Fire Elephant Evil City was not Han Yi’s destination either.

After reaching the Fire Elephant Evil City, Han Yi sought out another transmission array and headed for the third Evil City.

This time, the destination of the teleportation was Pengmo City, located in the center of the Pengmo Demon Territory.

This city was originally the main city of Pengmo Demon Monarch, but many Demon Immortals fought over it after his demise, causing more than half of the city to be destroyed.

The Demon Pengs that he was tasked to hunt were located in that city.

In addition.

After arriving at Fire Elephant Evil City, Han Yi encountered several groups of demon cultivators who tried to kill him. This place was not the Demon Lion Evil City and his Demon Lion identity did not serve any significant advantage here.

However, as expected, all the demon cultivators that tried to assassinate him ended up with their possessions taken by Han Yi, including their Qiankun rings and all the items in their inner spaces. Meanwhile, their demonic souls were thrown into the Soul Mirror Space derived from his Soul-binding Skill.

Once he emerged from the transmission array in Pengmo City, he encountered even more assassination attempts.

This huge evil city was almost half destroyed. Only a few areas that were guarded by Demon Immortals were relatively safe. There was constant fighting in the other areas, filling the sky with an overwhelming demonic aura.

After changing his identity several times, Han Yi chose a spot near the territory of the Mopeng Clan to lay low.
