“`
The aura of the Treasure Pagoda enveloped the man in black, remaining undetected by Xia Ningxue and the others.
“The fools of the Celestial Wolf Clan, they didn’t even notice the counterattack from their opponent. If they really let them escape, the Celestial Wolf Clan will lose all face.”
The young Sect Leader of the Kui Phoenix Tribe took out a talisman and secretly transmitted a message to the Celestial Wolf Clan.
“The Divine Child candidate has sent us a message, we’ll immediately go to regroup.”
The experts of the Celestial Wolf Clan, receiving the orders of the Kui Phoenix young Sect Leader, quickly flew towards Lethe Valley.
After about half a day, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy finished her healing, and her energy recovered to about the seventh level of an Immortal Emperor.
“Although I haven’t fully recovered my cultivation, it should be enough to escape back to Demon-Suppressing Pass.”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, having slightly recovered her cultivation, prepared to lead her team out of Lethe Valley.
“Not good, the aura of the Celestial Wolf Clan is drawing near.”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, having a higher realm than the other people from Guanghan Palace, keenly sensed that the experts of the Celestial Wolf Clan were converging on Lethe Valley, evidently, their location had been discovered.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy immediately took out a Spatial Talisman, intending to lead the disciples to escape to safety.
Suddenly, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy found that the Spatial Talisman was ineffective, and her face turned pale.
This meant that the space of Lethe Valley had been sealed by a magical treasure.
“We need to get out of here quickly.”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy realized that something was wrong, so she immediately left the cave with the others.
“Hahaha, you almost got away.”
The loud laughter of the Celestial Wolf Clan leader rang out, causing the faces of Jin Yun Immortal Fairy and her group to change.
One after another, the experts of the Celestial Wolf Clan arrived, cornering Jin Yun Immortal Fairy and her group from all sides.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy looked around and saw that the Celestial Wolf Clan had employed more than a dozen Immortal Emperor experts, especially the Celestial Wolf Clan leader, who was a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor.
Now, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy had not fully recovered from her injuries and could not contend against the Celestial Wolf Clan leader.
“Is it you?”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, amidst the Celestial Wolf Clan, caught sight of the Kui Phoenix young Sect Leader Qi, and couldn’t help frowning.
She had a premonition that their ambush by the Celestial Wolf Clan was most likely instigated by the Kui Phoenix Tribe.
“There’s nothing I covet that I can’t get.”
The Kui Phoenix young Sect Leader coldly surveyed the people below, as though everything was under control.
“Our Guanghan Palace was originally on good terms with your Kui Phoenix Tribe; are you intent on destroying this relationship?”
“The person in question is gone; what do I care.”
The Kui Phoenix young Sect Leader infused Demonic Qi into the Treasure Pagoda, which emitted a brilliant blue glow for thousands of feet.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy’s head grew heavy, and she immediately realized that it was an Attack Magical Treasure specialized in Spirit Attacks, and inwardly cursed her luck.
While Jin Yun Immortal Fairy could withstand the gloomy light of the Treasure Pagoda, the others, whose realms were not as high as hers, were more greatly affected.
Two of the Guanghan Palace disciples couldn’t bear the Spirit Attack and, with their Divine Senses shattered, fell to the ground lifeless.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy’s ring emitted a burst of green light, covering everyone and barely weakening the mental shock of the Treasure Pagoda’s gloomy light.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy’s expression was grim: “This is an Attack Magical Treasure of the Demon Sects; could it be that your Kui Phoenix Tribe is in league with the Demon Realm?”
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the young Sect Leader’s eyes: “Since you’ve found out, then today, you are all undeniably doomed to die.”
“Why should the young Sect Leader bother to move against these human cultivators? Let me handle them for you.”
The Celestial Wolf Clan leader made a point of currying favor in front of the young Sect Leader of the Kui Phoenix Tribe.
Being shortlisted as a candidate for the Divine Child of the Demon Realm, Qi’s status was only second to the Demon God, God Child, and Goddess, with an illustrious position in the Demon Realm and connections to the Demon Realm behind him. This made the Celestial Wolf Clan leader willing to offend Guanghan Palace, all to please the other party.
As long as Qi could ascend to power, the Celestial Wolf Clan would become the top tribe of the Demon Realm.
As for Guanghan Palace, its influence was not yet able to reach into the Demon Realm.
“Then I’ll leave the rest to you. Aside from the Holy Maiden of Guanghan, who I want alive, kill all the others.”
Qi’s target was only Xia Ningxue.
He had attacked everyone from Guanghan Palace with his magical treasure just now, but only Xia Ningxue, with her Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art safeguarding her mind, was immune to the Spirit Attack, which confirmed to him Xia Ningxue’s exceptional nature.
Only such a human cultivator was worthy of being a candidate for the God Child of the Demon Race.
“Understood.”
The Celestial Wolf Clan leader responded and in the next moment, appeared behind Jin Yun Immortal Fairy. His wolf claw, akin to five sharp blades, tore through the air, aiming at Jin Yun Immortal Fairy.
Sensing danger, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy instinctively blocked with her Longsword.
“`
With a clang, the mystic claw and the Immortal Sword collided, sparks flying in all directions.
Even the blade aura of the claw left trails of blood on the fair cheeks of Jin Yun Immortal Fairy.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy felt suffocated.
The true form of the leader of the Celestial Wolf Clan, in its brutality, was comparable to the Emperor Soldier Magical Treasure.
Especially its claws, which were the sturdiest part of the Demon Race’s true form, and even Jin Yun Immortal Fairy’s Immortal Sword couldn’t sever them.
Under normal circumstances, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy could still fight the leader of the Celestial Wolf Clan, but in the previous battle, she had been ambushed by the clan leader and suffered heavy injuries. Now, with only the power of the seventh realm of the Immortal Emperor, she was far from being his opponent.
Facing the inescapable net laid by the Celestial Wolf Clan, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy was even more desperate.
“Holy Maiden, what should we do?”
The disciples of Guanghan Palace, upon seeing Jin Yun Immortal Fairy being overpowered by the leader of the Celestial Wolf Clan, unanimously turned to Xia Ningxue for direction.
Among the Guanghan Palace disciples present, Xia Ningxue had the highest standing. Since Jin Yun Immortal Fairy was preoccupied and couldn’t spare her focus, the other disciples naturally looked to Xia Ningxue for leadership.
“We have no choice but to fight with all we’ve got.”
Xia Ningxue, holding the Mo Xue sword in her left hand and pulling out the Absolute Immortal Sword from behind with her right, led the Guanghan Palace disciples to confront the remaining experts of the Celestial Wolf Clan.
The Kui Phoenix Clan’s young Sect Leader had sealed the space with a magical treasure, making it difficult for everyone to escape. There were no other options in this situation.
“What can you, a mere first-realm Immortal Emperor of the human cultivators, do against more than a dozen of our Immortal Emperors?”
“A mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly incapable of succeeding.”
A group of Celestial Wolf Clan experts surrounded Xia Ningxue and the others, wearing expressions of mockery.
In their eyes, the resistance of Xia Ningxue and her companions was laughably futile.
“We’ve finally arrived, and not a moment too late.”
Another team from the Celestial Wolf Clan arrived, led by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Wolf Demon who even took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
“Yan, you’re late.”
The other Celestial Wolf Clan experts surrounding Xia Ningxue and her group spared a glance, realizing it was a Wolf Demon Quasi-Emperor from their clan known as “Yan,” and didn’t pay much attention.
Yan gave an embarrassed smile, leading his team inadvertently closer to the Kui Phoenix Clan’s young Sect Leader Qi.
Qi frowned discontentedly, “Aren’t you going to join the assault? Do you want to stand around and spectate like this young Sect Leader?”
“Yes, yes…”
Yan agreed hastily, but in the next instant, he suddenly flipped his stance, drew a black longsword, and stabbed the unsuspecting Qi!
“Pfft!”
Qi spat out a mouthful of golden blood, his eyes bulging with disbelief.
He swiftly slapped back, forcing the Quasi-Emperor Wolf Demon to retreat.
Even so, he had already been gravely injured by the surprise attack!
The other Wolf Demons also struck nearly at the same time, each thrusting their swords into the Kui Phoenix Clan’s young Sect Leader!
One of the Wolf Demons even summoned a golden seal, smashing it down on Qi’s head, pinning the young Sect Leader beneath the ground!
Lethe Valley shook violently, the earth trembled, and more than a dozen peaks collapsed.
The Celestial Wolf Clan experts were stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Their clansmen had actually attacked the young Sect Leader of the Kui Phoenix Clan!
“Yan, do you realize what you are doing?!”
The Celestial Wolf Clan experts felt their scalps tingle at the thought of the serious consequences of offending the Kui Phoenix Clan’s young Sect Leader.
“They are not from the Demon Race, but humans who used Transformative Divine Pills!”
The Kui Phoenix Clan’s young Sect Leader burst out from the ground ten miles away, covered in dirt, his forehead veiny and his face twisted in fury.
These human cultivators had come to deceive and ambush him, a candidate for the God Child of the Demon Realm!
And to think they had succeeded!
If the myriad races of the Demon Realm knew the God Child candidate had been disgraced in such a manner, he feared he would never live it down.
The exposed team from the Celestial Wolf Clan no longer bothered to hide, reverting to their true forms.
Lu Changsheng and his companions had wiped out a team from the Celestial Wolf Clan, then used the seventeenth-grade Transformative Divine Pills to take on their forms, taking the opportunity to ambush the young Sect Leader of the Kui Phoenix Clan.
After consuming the Transformative Divine Pill, even one’s aura could be imitated; even Immortal Emperors would have a hard time detecting it, and the effect could last for twelve hours.
Transcendental Divine Pills were precious, beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators, but Lu Changsheng had many and used them freely, without the slightest hesitation…
