Soon, Mu Guyue made a discovery among the layers of black rock that crisscrossed like spears and swords. It was a constantly rotating vortex of demonic qi.
She observed it from the shadows for a long time. After confirming that there was no immediate danger in the vicinity, she quietly approached.
As she drew near, her Divine Sense constantly enveloped the area within a hundred feet. Then, Mu Guyue's body appeared in a semi-illusory state above and to the side of the demonic qi vortex.
Mu Guyue extended a slender, jade-like finger. The fingertip also shimmered with the dark light of black demonic qi. Then, inch by inch, she inserted her fingertip into the demonic qi vortex.
After a long while, Mu Guyue withdrew her finger, a look of surprise on her face.
"There's no formation restriction sealing it, just a demonic qi barrier that has been refined to a thickness of nearly a hundred feet."
Perhaps this demonic beast had been entrenched here for a long time and had already consolidated its territory, so it didn't even set up a defensive restriction.
Seeing that the other party had not set up a formation restriction, Mu Guyue steeled her heart and flew in.
Upon entering, Mu Guyue immediately understood why the other party had not set up a formation restriction, because there was simply no need.
This hundred-foot-thick demonic qi barrier was more formidable than most restrictions. The demonic qi within, having been refined, vibrated slowly at a strange frequency.
Initially, she didn't notice anything wrong, but as she went deeper, the already restless demonic qi in her body actually began to vibrate along with the flowing demonic qi outside.
And at this time, she had only advanced less than thirty feet. The vibration of the demonic qi in Mu Guyue's body became more and more intense. Finally, it reached a point where she was almost unable to suppress her concealed state.
And the killing intent in her chest grew stronger and stronger, giving Mu Guyue the urge to shout out loud.
But having experienced life and death for a long time, as soon as a sense of crisis arose, she decisively chose to retreat, while trying her best to maintain her concealed state.
But by this time, it was already too late. A cold, stern shout had already sounded in her ear.
"Since you've come to visit, fellow daoist, why not have a cup of tea before you leave!"
Mu Guyue's heart jumped, but her face remained unusually calm.
Since her whereabouts had been discovered, she no longer concealed her aura. With demonic qi surging from her entire body and her magic power fully unleashed, she instantly retreated from the demonic qi barrier.
Then, with a fierce stomp on the ground, her body shot upwards like an arrow released from a bowstring. Everything flowed like water, without the slightest hesitation.
At the same time, she had taken a pair of crescent moon handguard sabers into her hands. In her Divine Sense, she saw a dark golden long dragon shooting out like a shadow.
"It really is a fourth-rank Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragon!"
Mu Guyue finally confirmed the other party's identity. She hadn't been following the wrong target after all.
At this moment, her biggest worry was how many Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragons were here.
As soon as the dark golden long dragon appeared in the air, it immediately transformed into a burly, golden-robed middle-aged man with an arrogant expression.
"So it's a cultivator from the Black Demon Clan!"
The moment he saw Mu Guyue clearly, his eyes lit up. In the next moment, his body transformed into a streak of golden light and also shot straight up in pursuit.
"Fellow daoist, you trespassed into my territory. You think you can leave without an explanation?"
His cultivation was a minor realm higher than Mu Guyue's, equivalent to the mid-stage Nascent Soul.
But a Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragon's true combat power could not be measured by its realm alone. Its actual combat power could even reach the late-stage Nascent Soul.
Otherwise, back then, Xiahou Shangxie, with his initial-stage Spirit Transformation cultivation, would not have had to fight a fourth-rank Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragon for more than ten days to subdue it.
There were, of course, many reasons for this. Firstly, Xiahou Shangxie wanted to subdue it and make it his spirit beast, not kill it.
Secondly, that Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragon was already at the peak of the fourth rank, only half a step away from the fifth rank. Coupled with the dragon clan's innate formidable combat power, Xiahou Shangxie had indeed put in a great deal of effort.
With one in front and one behind, they continuously flew towards the upper parts of the "Demon-Swallowing Abyss." But after only a dozen or so breaths, the golden-robed middle-aged man caught up with Mu Guyue and appeared below and to her right.
"Fellow daoist, why don't you answer my question? Then you can just stop and talk!"
A golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden long spear appeared. Immediately, from bottom to top, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, it stabbed straight at Mu Guyue's waist.
Mu Guyue, who was shooting upwards, happened to step on the side of the mountain wall at this moment, her body shooting up at an angle.
She bent her right elbow and brought it down. The crescent moon handguard saber attached to her arm suddenly spun like a wheel, instantly creating what looked like a full moon at her right waist.
With a "ding!" sound, the golden long spear seemed to have struck a wall. Most of its force was deflected to the sides, and a dazzling ball of light exploded in the abyss.
Mu Guyue's body paused for a moment. Using the force of this spear, as if with divine help, she was thrown upwards in an instant like a meteor.
The golden-robed middle-aged man, under the recoil, paused for a moment before pouncing up again.
'The Black Demon Clan's physical body is indeed powerful. Even with a lower realm than mine, they can still block my attack head-on.'
And Mu Guyue above only felt her entire right arm go numb and soft. The demonic qi in her body was in turmoil, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
In terms of physical strength, the dragon clan was not inferior to the demon clan, and even slightly superior.
And Mu Guyue, from her high position, had used a clever force to block the opponent's attack.
"He's not my match, I must get away quickly!"
Mu Guyue had never fought a Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragon before. It was common for the Black Demon Clan to fight above their rank, so she had previously thought that she might not be weaker than the other party.
But she was not a reckless person. After a cautious clash with the other party, she immediately felt that she was no match.
The immense and unstoppable primordial power coming from the tip of the opponent's spear was something Mu Guyue simply could not contend with.
However, what slightly relaxed Mu Guyue was that the opponent was clearly a lone Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragon. After so long, no other Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragons had appeared.
This was undoubtedly good news for her, greatly increasing her chances of survival.
The golden-robed middle-aged man saw that the other party was just constantly fleeing and not engaging him in a fight.
She didn't even say a word, completely ignoring him.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. For a Nascent Soul cultivator to escape, catching up was not that simple, unless he had spatial abilities like the Phoenix clan.
In the midst of the rapid chase, the golden-robed middle-aged man suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the dense, churning demonic qi from the surroundings rolled into his mouth.
As a large amount of dense demonic qi entered his body, the golden-robed middle-aged man's body swelled up like a ball.
The muscles under his skin rolled rapidly like small iron balls, and his right arm holding the long spear instantly swelled to five or six times its size.
With a loud shout, he swung his right arm, and a golden light, as if wanting to split the abyss in two, flew through the air with a dazzling long tail.
In the next moment, the golden light had already appeared above Mu Guyue, who was like a flying arrow.
With a flash of golden light, the golden spear transformed into a mini dragon. With a flick of its long tail, its two front claws suddenly extended, their long, sharp black tips clawing down at her head.
Mu Guyue felt the vicious wind above her head. She suddenly raised her two arms, crossed them, and pushed upwards fiercely. The two crescent sabers instantly merged into one and flew out of her hands.
In mid-air, they had already transformed into a pair of opening and closing giant shears, cutting towards the two claws descending from above.
And Mu Guyue herself, without slowing down, forcibly twisted her body in the air at an incredible angle, dodging the sweeping range of the mini dragon's tail.
Barely avoiding the attack, her entire person shot out diagonally. In an instant, she had surpassed the position of the small dragon formed by the golden spear and continued to fly upwards.
She had no intention of getting entangled with the other party.
At such a meteor-like speed, Mu Guyue's forced abdominal twist in the air, if it were a dharma cultivator, their spine would have been snapped into several pieces with just one twist.
But Mu Guyue, with her incredible reaction time and extremely powerful physical body, instantly dodged the golden-robed middle-aged man's lightning attack.
She only allowed her speed to slow down for a moment before continuing to flee.
Her reaction was fast, but the golden-robed middle-aged man was also an expert in this. His reaction was just as unbelievably fast. This slight hesitation from Mu Guyue gave him an opportunity to attack.
The large amount of demonic qi the golden-robed middle-aged man had just inhaled was suddenly spewed out from his mouth.
Accompanied by a dragon's roar that echoed through the surrounding world, the surrounding space was shaken to the point of slight distortion.
Mu Guyue, who was flying, already had various negative emotions churning in her body, which she had to constantly suppress.
This time, having gone deep to a place of fifteen thousand feet, her body was already under great strain.
The demonic qi she had been trying so hard to suppress before, with the sound of this dragon's roar, surged up in Mu Guyue's heart, and her killing intent greatly increased.
Her flying body paused for a moment, and then her phoenix eyes overflowed with killing intent.
Immediately, the demonic qi on her body surged to the heavens. Her long hair flew wildly, and the muscles under her sleeveless armor became fuller. Her full, round peaks seemed about to burst free.
The well-defined abdominal muscles on her flat, crystal-clear abdomen became clearer, and black streams of air rose from her rounded legs like silk threads.
Then, she fiercely stomped on the void. The airflow under her feet and the void let out a crackle. With a flash of her figure, she appeared above the golden-robed middle-aged man below.
Her slender, jade-like body was slanted sideways, and she ruthlessly smashed her elbow down towards the top of his head.
The golden-robed middle-aged man saw that her mind was indeed gradually being lost, affected by the demonic qi here, and she was turning back to attack. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at her well-proportioned, slender figure and exquisite features, his heart was on fire.
Flood dragons were mostly lecherous, and the Heaven-Confounding Profound Gold Dragon was one of them.
When they were unable to satisfy their desires, they would often drop their defenses and continuously smash their tails on the rocks.
Even if they were beaten until they were dripping with blood, they would not feel pain. Instead, they would feel a sense of pleasure rushing through their entire bodies.
The golden-robed middle-aged man certainly knew that the female cultivators of the Black and White Demon Clans were unparalleled in beauty, but even with his strength, he did not dare to leave the "Demon-Swallowing Abyss."
Above was the territory of the Black Demon Clan. Not only were there powerful Demonic Generals of the same rank as him, but there were also even more terrifying Demon Marshal-level beings.
How could he dare to provoke them? Therefore, he usually just thought about it.
Besides, if he were to plunder some low-level female demonic cultivators, with his physical body, those female demonic cultivators would probably be tortured to death by him in a few breaths.
He had tried it before. He had plundered many female cultivators who entered the "Demon-Swallowing Abyss." In the end, those female cultivators would explode and die within a few breaths.
Not only could he not be satisfied, but his emotions would become even more agitated, difficult to bear, with nowhere to vent.
So, the only one who could withstand his storm of passion was a female Demonic General of the same rank. But since she was a Demonic General, she was not someone he could snatch away in an instant.
Today, unexpectedly, a female Demonic General had delivered herself to his door. He was already unbearably excited.
The golden-robed middle-aged man gently raised a hand, forming a sword with his index and middle fingers, and poked towards the elbow that was smashing down with the momentum of the heavens and earth.
"Boom!"
A wave of air spread out horizontally from the point of contact between Mu Guyue's elbow and the other's fingertips, like ripples spreading across the air.
Mu Guyue's descending body was sent flying by the force of just two fingers, tumbling backwards and upwards rapidly.
