The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 115 Successfully Seizing the Mysterious Heaven Stone and Regaining Human Form

Near the abyss in the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Xuan Tian Continent.

"Don't be afraid, I am Dugu Xin." The monster actually spoke.

He Shihui nodded and asked, "How did you end up like this?"

"It's all the Empress's doing. We encountered her as soon as we arrived here," the monster said.

"The Demon Queen?" He Shihui frowned. "Who is she?"

"She is the ruler of this continent. On this Xuan Tian Continent, demons and humans are mortal enemies. The path to immortality is about to open, and many demons have already died by human swords. The Demon Queen has used demonic magic to turn many human cultivators into demons. We have been hiding from human attacks," Dugu Xin said.

"So, humans are killing each other now? What about the real demonic beasts?" Ji Mi asked.

“Some of them turned into humans, and the rest have mostly gone into hiding,” Dugu Xin replied.

"What do we need to do for you to regain your human form?" Ji Mi asked.

"We need to find the Xuan Tian Stone. The Xuan Tian Stone possesses great power and can dispel the Demon Queen's sorcery," Dugu Xin replied.

"Where is the Xuan Tian Stone?" He Shi asked.

"It's in the abyss not far ahead. But the path there is filled with the power of death. To resist the power of death, we first need to collect enough Flame Grass," Dugu Xin said.

They followed Dugu Xin to the vicinity of a volcano.

Many flame grasses grow here, each one radiating a fiery aura.

They carefully gathered the flame grass, afraid of disturbing the monsters in the volcano.

After some effort, they finally collected enough Flame Grass.

Next, they began their ascent into the abyss.

The abyss was filled with a thick, oppressive power of death.

With the power of the Flame Grass, they barely managed to resist the erosion of the power of death.

Finally, they reached the bottom of the abyss.

At the bottom of the abyss was a cave, and at the entrance of the cave was a half-dead corpse, which was Sanmu.

“Sanmu, how could he have died here?” Ji Mi asked in surprise.

“His spirit has not been extinguished; he is now possessing some small animals,” said another demon beast beside Lonely Heart. This demon beast was none other than Chu Ji.

"The Xuan Tian Stone is inside the cave. It's a pale blue gemstone, also known as the Stone of Life. But the Demon Queen is inside," Dugu Xin said.

"It seems there's no more death power here?" He Shihui said.

“That’s right, the life force emanating from this cave has neutralized the death force,” Dugu Xin said.

“Then let’s go in quickly. The two of us will hold off the Demon Queen. You two take the opportunity to revert to human form and then escape immediately,” Ji Mi said.

They cautiously entered the cave.

The cave was pitch black, with only the pale blue light emitted by the Xuan Tian Stone illuminating the surroundings.

They followed the light and soon saw the pale blue gem.

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly attacked them.

It was the Demon Queen!

Ji Mi and He Shihui immediately drew their swords and went to meet them.

The Demon Queen was extremely powerful; even the two of them working together could only barely hold her off.

Dugu Xin and Chu Ji took the opportunity to try to regain their human form.

"Quickly, take the Xuan Tian Stone!" He Shi Hui shouted.

Dugu Xin and Chu Ji immediately rushed towards the Xuan Tian Stone.

Just as they were about to touch the Xuan Tian Stone, the Demon Queen suddenly let out a roar.

A powerful demonic force erupted from her body, sending He Shihui and Ji Mi flying.

Dugu Xin and Chu Ji were also forced back a few steps by this demonic power.

"How dare you steal my Xuan Tian Stone!" the Demon Queen roared.

Her eyes flashed with a cold light, as if she wanted to devour all four of them.

He Shihui and Ji Mi struggled to their feet, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

"We must obtain the Xuan Tian Stone to avert the disaster on this continent!" He Shi Hui shouted.

“That’s right, we can’t give up!” Ji Mi also said.

They charged at the Demon Queen once more and engaged her in a fierce battle.

After a hard-fought battle, they finally found the Queen's weakness.

He Shihui thrust his sword into the Demon Queen's heart.

The demon queen let out a scream, then vanished in a puff of black smoke.

They successfully obtained the Mysterious Stone.

Dugu Xin and Chu Ji immediately took the Xuan Tian Stone in their hands, and a warm power emanated from it, flowing into their bodies.

Soon, the two of them returned to human form.

"Great! We finally succeeded!" He Shihui said.

“Yes, this continent can finally stop killing each other.” Ji Mi also said.

"But all of this is the fault of humans. In their pursuit of immortality, they indiscriminately kill innocent people and hunt and kill demonic beasts at will," He Shihui said.

“That’s right. If humanity continues like this, this continent will be destroyed sooner or later,” Ji Mi said.

The four of them carried the Xuan Tian Stone out of the cave.

The sky outside had brightened, and the sun was shining on the earth.

However, what they didn't know was that the Demon Queen was not dead, but instead took the opportunity to seek help from the Demon King.

They left the abyss and walked a little further, only to find two groups of people fighting fiercely on the battlefield, a scene of brutal and nauseating bloodshed.

One side was the Xuantian Sect, dressed in white; the other side was the Wuji Sect, dressed in black.

"I wonder if any of the humans here are actually transformed monsters?" Chu Ji asked.

The four of them hid in the distance, quietly observing the battlefield.

The disciples of Xuantian Sect and Wuji Sect were locked in a fierce battle, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from the side and charged directly at the disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

The black figure was incredibly fast; the disciples of the Xuantian Sect had no time to react before being knocked to the ground one by one.

"It's the Demon Queen!" He Shihui exclaimed in surprise.

The four of them immediately rushed forward, trying to stop the Demon Queen from continuing her slaughter.

However, the Demon Queen was extremely powerful, and even the four of them working together could only barely hold her off.

"We must find a way to stop her!" Dugu Xin said.

“But she’s too strong; we’re no match for her at all,” Chu Ji said.

Just then, the disciples of Xuantian Sect and Wuji Sect also saw the four of them.

"Who are they? Why are they with the Demon Queen?" a disciple of the Xuantian Sect asked.

"Could he be a spy from the demon race?" a disciple of the Wuji Sect said.

The four of them were immediately surrounded and attacked by both sides.

"Let's run away quickly!" Chu Ji said.

“But the Demon Queen is still here, we can’t just leave like this,” He Shihui said.

The four of them found themselves in a predicament, facing both the pursuit of the demon queen and the siege of humans.

Just then, a golden light descended from the sky and began its attack on humanity; it was the Demon King.

It led the demon army, charging majestically towards humanity.

"Quick, let's take this opportunity to get out of here!" He Shihui shouted.

The four of them immediately seized the opportunity to escape the battlefield.

The Demon King led his demon army in a fierce battle against humans, and the two sides fought to a standstill.

He Shihui and his three companions seized the opportunity to escape the battlefield and hid in a secluded place.

"What should we do now?" Chu Ji asked.

“We need to find a way to stop the Demon King and the demon race’s attack,” He Shihui said.

“But we have no way to fight them right now,” Ji Mi said.

“Perhaps we can use the power of the Xuan Tian Stone,” Dugu Xin said.

The four of them immediately began studying the Xuan Tian Stone, trying to find a way to fight against the Demon King and the demon race.

After much effort, they finally discovered a method.

The four of them joined forces, channeling the power of the Xuan Tian Stone into their bodies, and then charged towards the Demon King together.

Upon seeing them charging towards him, the Demon King immediately unleashed a powerful attack.

However, their bodies were protected by the power of the Xuan Tian Stone and were completely unaffected.

However, the Demon King was not injured.
