Demon's Diary Chapter 1289: Black Star Moth

Chapter 1289: Black Star Moth

In the cave below the valley, the glaring white light emitted by the white scroll gradually dissipated. The white light beam, which soared to the sky, gradually thinned out until it disappeared without a trace.

The majestic black vortex slowly calmed down after the white light beam disappeared. The black vortex reverted into clouds similar to the previous scene like nothing had happened.

In the cave, the hooked nose man in a green robe and the woman in a gray robe were shocked to witness the Three Illumination Luo River Painting invoking a strange vision.

The two glanced at each other and launched symbols hurriedly to carefully inspect the Three Illumination Luo River Painting.

After a while, they stopped their gestures at the same time. They were a little startled that they didn’t find anything.

“What happened just now?” The woman in a gray robe asked with flickering eyes.

“I have no idea. However, the Three Illumination Luo River Painting will not become active for no reason. Something must have happened.” The hooked nose man looked at the woman in a gray robe, then he muttered to himself with a gloomy face.

“Could it be related to those Qing Family’s cultivators entering the secret realm?” The woman in a gray robe suddenly thought of something and asked.

“It’s highly likely. After many years of exploration, maybe the Qing Family’s cultivators have finally grasped some clues to the secret realm… What a great opportunity. Kill them all and soul search them to get some clues. It could be helpful to us.” The hooked nose man sneered with a vicious expression.

The woman in a gray robe nodded. When she looked at the water mirror next to her, she was shocked.

Only the images of Qing Gu, Qing Songzi, and Qing Shang could be seen in the water mirror. Liu Ming’s figure disappeared without a trace.

“Where is the other one?” The woman in a gray robe’s face turned gloomy. As she chanted, a dozen of water mirrors emerged in a flash of water light.

The rapid transition of the images in the mirrors seemingly captured the situation in every corner of the secret realm. However, after the two of them searched the entire secret realm for about 15 minutes, they failed to find Liu Ming.

“It seems that that person must have practiced techniques to hide his presence. However, if your Thousand Mirror Eyes can’t even find him, this person is not simple. In my opinion, the strange scene caused by Three Illumination Luo River Painting must have something to do with this person.” The hooked nose man snorted.

“The other Qing Family’s cultivators are also flying here.” The woman in a gray robe said with a gloomy face.

“Don’t panic. They are just 3 p.a.w.ns. Gather the nearby Black Star Moths to test these cultivators. Kill them if possible. I’m thinking the person, who hid his presence, may be lurking around for an ambush. Be more careful.” The hooked nose man said lightly after thinking about it.

“No problem, but what will you be doing?” The woman responded, then she recalled something and asked at the hooked nose man.

“The strange scene just now seems to have loosened the enchantment in Three Illumination Luo River Painting. I’ll stay here to see if I can take this opportunity to refine another layer of enchantment.” The hooked nose man said with a flash of his eyes.

The woman in a gray robe was at ease. Without saying anything else, she turned into a gray light and flew toward the sky.

While flying up, a s.p.a.ce fissure opened up in the air.

The woman in a gray robe flew into the s.p.a.ce fissure without slowing down, and the s.p.a.ce fissure was closed again immediately.

The hooked nose man’s eyes flickered. When the woman in a gray robe left the cave, he sat down cross-legged again. His gestures changed swiftly as he uttered obscure incantations.

The next moment, a wave of faint green light emerged from his body, wrapping the Three Illumination Luo River Painting before him.

As the hooked nose man changed his gestures rapidly, the green light gradually turned into a square barrier several feet in size. The Three Illumination Luo River Painting spun slowly in it.

After doing this, the hooked nose man seemed to be relieved. Then, he kicked his feet, turned into a green escape light, and flew toward the outside.

Outside the valley, 2 escape lights arrived silently from a distance, one green and one red. They reached the sky above the valley at the same time.

The light slowly dissipated. Qing Gu, Qing Songzi, and Qing Shang emerged in midair.

“Elder Qing Gu, what a coincidence!” Qing Songzi sneered.

“It turns out to be Qing Songzi and Qing Shang. It seems that you also noticed the phenomenon just now.” Qing Gu glanced at Qing Songzi and Qing Songzi, touched his bald forehead, and laughed.

Qing Songzi sneered, looked around a few times, and changed the subject.

“Hey, where is Elder Liu Ming? Could it be that he didn’t go with Mr. Qing Gu?”

“When Elder Liu entered the secret realm, he chose to act alone.” Elder Qing Gu said lightly.

Hearing this, Qing Songzi’s face moved slightly. He exchanged a glance with Qing Shang. Then, he shook his head and said mockingly, “Elder Qing Gu, your cultivation is superb, and your Divine Thought is solid. Thus, it’s fine to act alone. However, this newly promoted Elder Liu really thinks highly of himself. He is just at the mere Celestial State early stage, and he dares to wander alone in the secret realm. It’s possible that he is dead.”

“I believe Elder Qing Songzi should have a deep understanding of Elder Liu’s strength. I believe he acts alone because he is confident in his own power.” Qing Gu said with a meaningful look.

A blush flashed across Qing Songzi’s face, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Being defeated by Liu Ming in front of everyone in the Qing Family was the most humiliating event in his life which spanned a thousand years. Now that it was brought up by Qing Gu again, how could he not p.i.s.s off.

“Elder Qing Songzi, don’t be mad. I don’t mean that. There may be a secret hidden in this valley right now. Let’s explore the valley together first.” Qing Gu cupped his fist and changed the subject.

Qing Shang gently pulled on Qing Songzi’s sleeve, and she shook her head imperceptibly.

Qing Songzi’s face moved. He took a deep breath and regained his composure.

“Elder Qing Gu is right. Let’s focus on our main objective first.” Qing Shang smoothed the hair by her ears and said with a smile.

“That’s right. Do you two have a clue about the valley below?” Qing Gu asked with a serious face.

“Elder Qing Gu, why bother asking? We arrived here at the same time. What can I know?” Qing Songzi snorted.

Qing Gu’s eyes flashed. As he was about to speak, there was a crackling sound in the distance. A black cloud flew out from the black forest beyond the valley, moving toward the Qing Family’s cultivators.

They were all startled. The black cloud approached them in seconds.

In the black clouds, they were tens of thousands of fist-sized moths. There had bright red eyes and black bodies.

“Woo woo.” A strange humming sound erupted from the cloud. A layer of gray dust appeared on the surface, rus.h.i.+ng toward them like a tide. It trapped the three of them quickly.

“What the h.e.l.l is this?” Seeing this, Qing Songzi shouted in shock.

Qing Gu looked at the countless black moths flying toward him, and his expression became uncertain. He wanted to retreat, but he looked at the valley below with a hint of reluctance.

When Qing Gu hesitated for a moment, countless black moths had already come before him. The wings of the moths were dotted with white spots, like stars in the night sky.

Countless moths flapped their wings and swarmed them with a wave of black-gray powder.

“Be careful. I have read in a book that these moths are called Black Star Moths. The moth powder they emit can dissipate our spiritual power, and it is toxic. We can’t let the powder contaminate our body.” Qing Gu shouted, and his body burst into bright red light. A long fiery red magic weapon emerged and stretched into a red sphere, protecting him inside.

Qing Songzi and Qing Shang were startled for a split second after hearing this. They immediately reacted and hurriedly activated their defensive measures.

Qing Songzi’s hand shone brightly in the green light. A green flag with a sparkling green spiritual flame embroidered on it emerged.

He waved his hand, and the spiritual flame pattern shone brightly. Dozens of green flames the size of a human head flew out, forming a green fire circle around him.

A white umbrella-shaped magic weapon appeared above Qing Shang’s head in a flash. It cast a white barrier that protected her in it.

Just as the three of them activated their defenses, black moth powder flooded over.

As soon as their defensive aura was stained with the moth powder, the light immediately dimmed. Luckily, the quality of their magic weapons was excellent. Their defensive aura quickly stabilized.

Countless black moths circled the 3 of them in the middle. Not only the Black Star Moths released black powder from their wings, but they also spewed black lights from their mouths.

The 3 stood back to back in a hurry.

“Be careful. Someone is probably behind the bizarre emergence of these Black Star Moths. I’m afraid the enemy is in the valley below.” Qing Gu said with a calm face.

“Anyway, these strange moths are too annoying. Let’s kill them all first.” Qing Songzi’s eyes flashed coldly. He chanted and waved the flag violently.

The green spiritual flame pattern on the flag suddenly turned into a green wind blade.

Qing Songzi waved the green flag and launched countless green wind blades at the Black Star Moths.

Puff!

These green wind blades were not ordinary. Hundreds of Black Star Moths were slashed into pieces.
