In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 640 Repair

"Commander Han, what are you doing!" The tentacle demon immediately flashed to the side, and at the same time, his aura surged.

"What?"

"Hehe, I'd like to ask you to help us scout the way. You shouldn't have any objections, right?" The demon known as Commander Han sneered.

"Why don't you go scout ahead? And why are you forcing us like this? Aren't you afraid the elders will find out?" the tentacle demon glared angrily.

"Are you going or not?!" Commander Han's voice suddenly turned cold, and the black light on the demonic blade intensified.

"You really think you can force me to submit?" The tentacle demon was not to be outdone, summoning several demonic artifacts as its tentacles danced. It then looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, as the leader of this operation, are you just going to let him run rampant like this?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the two. Commander Han was at the peak of the late stage of the Demon Sect, while the Tentacle Demon Clan was only at the peak of the mid stage. Their cultivation levels were a small realm lower. Moreover, judging from the power of Commander Han's demonic blade, it was undoubtedly top-tier. In terms of aura, it had already overwhelmed several of the Tentacle Demon Clan's blades.

If a real fight were to break out, the Tentacle Demon would certainly be no match for him, but if he were determined to escape, he would not be without a chance.

After considering it for a moment, Lu Yuan crossed his arms and adopted a stance of standing by and watching.

"Sigh, someone always has to suffer a loss, so why can't it be you?" After a sigh, another demon stood next to Commander Han.

Immediately afterwards, two more figures blocked the doorway, glaring menacingly at the tentacle demons.

The tentacle demon's expression grew increasingly grim. Though filled with resentment, he dared not make a rash move. In this tense atmosphere, he gritted his teeth, finally sheathed his demonic weapon, and slowly walked towards the teleportation array.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the tentacle demon took out an array plate. As soon as he stepped into it, the teleportation array shone brightly and instantly engulfed him.

Seeing this, others soon stopped hesitating and stepped into the teleportation array one after another.

Lu Yuan had been observing the teleportation array, and after most of the demons in the hall had teleported away, the former commander from Han suddenly approached him.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, although the teleportation array is fine, the underground palace is still fraught with danger. If we can join forces, we will definitely have a better chance of success. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Lu?” Commander Han’s eyes flashed with a cunning glint, and his tone carried a hint of trying to win him over.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and replied with a cold laugh: "The teleportation location depends on the array plates in everyone's hands, and each person has their own risks. Moreover, I am used to going alone, so let's go our separate ways."

Having said that, he ignored Commander Han's attempt to take out his own array plate, took a deep breath, and strode towards the teleportation array.

The moment I stepped into the teleportation array, the array plate in my hand trembled slightly, and several runes floated out and merged into the teleportation array beneath my feet.

Immediately afterwards, a dark blue light enveloped him, and in an instant, the surrounding scenery distorted and changed. When the light dissipated, he found himself inside a gray-white palace.

Meanwhile, at the deepest part of the underground palace, in a deep abyss beneath a boundless expanse of water.

Something lay silently on the sand at the deepest part of the abyss, its body as white as jade, and it was tens of thousands of feet long—a gigantic worm skeleton. Although the skeleton was motionless, its surface was shrouded in a faint grayish-white halo, vaguely emanating a terrifying aura that seemed unfathomable.

Suddenly, a soft exclamation came from within the skeleton: "This kind of soul fluctuation?"

"Something's strange; it seems to contain a power that's completely contrary to the fundamental laws!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the grayish-white halo rippled slightly, then fell silent again.

......

Inside the gray-white hall, Lu Yuan glanced around, his face immediately darkening.

Inside the hall were piles of skeletal remains, and nearby were some shimmering objects—incomplete suits of armor and weapons.

After glancing down at him, Lu Yuan suddenly frowned and made a grabbing motion in the air.

With a "whoosh," a fragment of a sword blade, shimmering with a faint glow, shot into his hand.

A quick glance revealed that while the blade's material was of superior quality, it was nothing particularly remarkable.

Then they examined another fragment of armor, but found nothing unusual about it.

These must have been the original demon guards who were protecting the underground palace. It is likely that when the Mother of the Moths broke free of the seal, they were unable to escape the underground palace in time and became food for the Moths.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan carefully scanned the entire hall with his divine sense, and then extended it outwards for dozens of miles. Only after noticing any danger did he feel slightly relieved.

Although he didn't find anything strange, Lu Yuan didn't intend to linger there and immediately headed deeper into the hall.

He had already found his destination during the earlier scan with his divine sense.

A short while later, Lu Yuan arrived at a large hall in the center of the palace. Inside was a magic array that covered almost the entire hall, filled with dense spiritual patterns that looked extremely complex.

However, the magic array was extremely dim at this moment, without the slightest flicker of spiritual light, clearly indicating that it had stopped operating.

Lu Yuan's expertise in magic arrays was not high to begin with, so it was naturally difficult for him to determine where the problem lay.

Fortunately, the elders had made ample preparations before the trip, so they didn't need to do anything complicated.

So Lu Yuan took out the array plate again and shook it slightly in front of the magic array.

No reaction at all.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, then conjured a large hand and handed the array plate into the magic array.

As soon as the array plate entered the magic array, it emitted a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, the previously dim magic circle began to glow faintly, and the spiritual patterns gradually lit up, with light flowing along the complex lines. Before long, the spiritual light on the magic circle grew stronger and stronger, and runes flickered incessantly.

It seems like it worked!

Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately took out the jade bottle containing the Nine Netherworld Union Elixir.

At this moment, one of the several seals on the medicine bottle showed signs of being unsealed.

Lu Yuan then glanced at the still-recovering magic array and muttered under his breath, "These old bastards!"

Clearly, the seals on the bottle will not be completely lifted until the magic circle is fully activated.

But there was no turning back now, so Lu Yuan could only grit his teeth and wait for the magic array to fully revive.

It's unclear whether the magic array is too complex, requiring a long time to revive, or if there's something truly wrong. Several hours have passed, and a small portion remains dim and lifeless.

If it weren't for the fact that only two of the restrictions on the medicine bottle remained at this point, Lu Yuan would have already suspected that he had been tricked by the elders.

However, after an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan, whose patience was gradually wearing thin, suddenly shuddered.

He then turned his head with a hint of doubt and glanced around, only to find his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Suddenly, an extremely thick cloud of gray smoke surged into the entrance of the hall, accompanied by several hissing shrieks.

Immediately afterwards, the outlines of several hideous black shadows gradually appeared in the gray mist.
