"It's very likely related to the Demon Lord," a demon said in a low voice.
"That's right. The Demon Lord is hiding here, and suddenly a Mahayana-level battle erupts here. This is definitely not a coincidence."
"The clan leader said that the Demon Lord is of human-demon mixed blood. In many cases, he can directly disguise himself as a human and won't be easily discovered. Although no demonic qi has been detected in this battle so far, it could be that the Demon Lord used some kind of method."
"There are three auras in this battle, all in Mahayana Stage. Could the Demon Lord be one of them?"
Some demons hesitated.
If the Demon Lord had already recovered to this level of strength, wouldn't they simply be walking to their deaths?
"Impossible. The Demon Lord was severely injured. No matter how fast his recovery is, it cannot be this fast!" The leading Mahayana Stage demon said coldly. "Moreover, before departure, the clan leader entrusted me with a clan divine artifact. Ordinary Mahayana Stage cultivators are beneath my notice."
"Leader, what should we do now? Go directly to Tianxing Sect, or first go to that mountain?" one demon asked.
The Mahayana Stage demon thought for a moment, then said, "That side is all Mahayana-level combat, it would be useless for you to go. I will personally go take a look. You will all proceed according to the original plan and continue toward Tianxing Sect. As far as I know, only those three Supreme Elders of Tianxing Sect are troublesome, everyone else is no match for you. As for the formation, the clan leader has already bestowed formation-breaking flags, operate them yourselves. I will go check on the situation and return shortly."
"Yes."
The demons finished discussing and split into two groups.
The Mahayana Stage demon headed directly toward He Mountain.
He wanted to see what exactly was happening.
If the situation there was related to the Demon Lord, and if the Demon Lord was taken away, then he really wouldn't be able to find him again.
If the Demon Lord was still hidden within Tianxing Sect, that wouldn't matter.
Such a large sect couldn't run away.
The Mahayana Stage demon quickly arrived at He Mountain.
The sword spirit was fighting two against one, yet still appeared completely at ease.
As soon as the demon reached He Mountain, a bead he carried suddenly grew scorching hot.
His expression changed.
Demon Lord!
The Demon Lord was indeed here.
This bead had once been part of the Demon Lord's crown, it had been taken by the clan leader and refined into a magical artifact.
This artifact had no other function, but since it carried the Demon Lord's aura, it would heat up whenever the Demon Lord was nearby.
The demon rushed toward the battlefield.
With just one glance.
He saw Yang Yun, protected behind the others.
He had heard that the Demon Lord had a unique method of recovery, during the process, there was a period of time where he would turn into a child.
This gloomy-looking child before him, if he wasn't the Demon Lord, then who else could it be!
This Demon Lord was actually hiding here!
Over there, the sword spirit was restraining Yang Yun's subordinates.
Seeing this, the Mahayana Stage demon realized it was the perfect opportunity.
He transformed into a wisp of black smoke and charged directly at Yang Yun.
He didn't know who the opposing side was.
But.
What did that matter to him?
As long as he killed Yang Yun, his objective would be achieved!
This demon struck with full force from the start, with no intention of letting Yang Yun survive.
However.
Just as he reached Yang Yun, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.
The barrier blocked the first wave of attack, then shattered instantly.
Although it only delayed the demon for a moment, Yang Yun's two subordinates immediately reacted.
"Stop!"
One of them desperately held back the sword spirit.
The other rushed over directly.
The sword spirit raised an eyebrow, about to continue her attack.
In the next moment.
The time of one incense stick was up.
She revealed a regretful expression, and her figure suddenly disappeared from where she stood.
As a spiritual entity, she was inherently bound by certain rules.
Although.
She hadn't yet fought to her heart's content.
But.
An agreed time of one incense stick was one incense stick.
After the sword spirit disappeared.
A sword suddenly appeared on Yun Jin's back.
The sword spirit had returned to her back once again.
The people of Tianxing Sect were rushing toward He Mountain.
Fang Mingyue noticed this change and couldn't help but be surprised, "You…"
Yun Jin chuckled and no longer concealed her appearance, directly revealing her true form.
"Yun Jin!" Fang Mingyue couldn't help but exclaimed.
The people of Tianxing Sect all turned to look.
Yun Jin?
Wasn't Yun Jin still in the Wushuang Sect secret realm?
How did she return to the sect so quickly?
Yue Zhao and the others also gradually revealed their true appearances.
Lin Ya said loudly, "My disciples wanted to give everyone a surprise, it's just a bit of childishness."
Zhao Wuji's complexion changed slightly.
For some reason, he always felt a bit afraid of Yun Jin.
This couldn't be blamed on him either.
Since Yun Jin entered Tianxing Sect, they had clashed many times.
Yet he, a sect leader, had never once gained the upper hand against a mere disciple!
This time.
Even the Demon Lord and Mahayana Stage experts were involved.
In theory, Yun Jin shouldn't be able to change anything.
No matter how talented she was, she was still in her growth phase.
But.
At the sight of Yun Jin, Zhao Wuji inexplicably felt uneasy.
He forced himself to discard those negative thoughts.
Don't overthink it!
It's just a Yun Jin, what could she change?
She couldn't change anything!
Right now, Lin Ya and the others had already been poisoned. When the time came, the poison would take effect!
One Yun Jin!
Would be completely useless.
"Sect Leader, long time no see," Yun Jin greeted Zhao Wuji warmly.
Zhao Wuji's expression darkened immediately as he said coldly, "Lawless and reckless! Yun Jin, you sneaked into the sect without authorization, this is utterly lawless."
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow, "When it comes to being lawless, who could compare to you, Sect Leader?"
"What are you talking about!" Zhao Wuji shouted angrily.
At that moment.
Suddenly.
The Tianxing Bell began to ring continuously.
The elder responsible for keeping the Tianxing Bell was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took it out.
The originally golden Tianxing Bell was now covered with a faint layer of black qi.
The Supreme Elders' expressions changed drastically.
"Demons! There are demons!" one of them immediately said. "Enemy attack! Quickly, activate the formation!"
The three Supreme Elders responded and immediately began circulating their spiritual power to activate the formation.
However.
Halfway through circulating their spiritual power, it suddenly felt as though there was a leak, and their spiritual energy dissipated instantly.
The several Supreme Elders' expressions changed as they tried again.
But this time, the result was the same.
Their spiritual power couldn't circulate at all!
"Spiritual power! There's something wrong with our spiritual power!" one elder said through gritted teeth.
The others' expressions changed as well upon hearing this. They also tried to circulate their spiritual power, but none of them could muster even a trace!
What was happening?!
Zhao Wuji also pretended to try, then said, "My spiritual power has also disappeared. It seems these demons came prepared. They must have used some hidden method in advance to scheme against us! These damned demons are truly cunning."
Zhao Wuji looked very furious.
He was confident that no one knew about the Shengyang Nether Dew! Once it entered the body, it would vanish without a trace. Even if someone tried to investigate now, nothing would be found.
Since that's the case, whatever he said would become the truth.
