435: Soldiers are coming! (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)

For Jin Yu Mountain, this Divine Pill was a treasured possession, acquired at a considerable cost, but at this moment, he took it out without hesitation.

As he spoke, a foot-long purple sandalwood box flew out from his sleeve, shimmering with spiritual light and covered in layers of Restrictions. He then blew away the Restrictions in one breath, and the box sprang open with a click.

Soon, an egg-sized, milky-white pill, emitting a soft glow, appeared, and a fragrance that calmed the mind also wafted out.

This object flew upwards.

“Whoosh”

A faint golden light descended with a whoosh, materializing Chen Yuan’s Primordial Spirit form.

At the same time, outside, under his control, his physical body transformed into its Gou Snake true form, and like the other Gou Snake Demon Soldiers, it was trapped in the room, restless and agitated, occasionally bumping against the doors and windows.

Better safe than sorry. Many times, just a tiny flaw can lead to complete defeat.

After Chen Yuan appeared, he waved his sleeve, drawing the box into his hand. His nose twitched, and a clear Qi surged into his nostrils, invigorating his somewhat weary spirit. His eyes slowly gathered a deep, inky blackness, and a sharp glint flashed within them.

It was exactly what he needed!

He did not stand on ceremony. He directly inhaled deeply, drawing the Divine Pill into his Primordial Spirit, intending to refine it later, and then slowly landed.

He thanked Jin Yu Mountain, who had gathered around, “Brother Jin, your willingness to part with this precious pill has resolved Chen’s urgent crisis. Chen will not be polite, and there will surely be a generous repayment another day.”

Jin Yu Mountain knew what time it was; they should support each other. He dared not accept thanks, “Brother Chen is fighting for us; it should be so. How dare I accept thanks?” As he spoke, his brow furrowed, “Just now, separated by this space, we sensed a Dragon Tiger Great Demon making a move. Brother Chen seems to have narrowly escaped. What are your plans next?”

Just then, a clear, cold voice abruptly sounded, “Not one, but two!”

The voice came from a woman who was gracefully walking over from the side, clad in a silver Dragon scale long dress. Her figure was flawless, and her demeanor noble, but her cold, expressionless face carried the majesty of someone long in a high position, making people respectful yet distant.

This North Sea Dragon Girl was usually silent, but now that she spoke, her entire person seemed to come alive.

However, this sentence made the San Taibao of Longevity Mountain, including Old Man Dong, twitch their eyebrows.

Two Dragon Tiger Great Demons?

“Dragon Girl adult is correct. When Chen was escaping, there was another Great Demon hidden in the dark, trying to ambush me. Fortunately, Chen was a step faster; it was truly a fluke,” Chen Yuan nodded, confirming the matter.

As he spoke, his eyebrows were like sharp swords, and his eyes emitted cold lightning.

“This exchange was extremely perilous. These beasts reacted very quickly, and two Great Demons were startled. However, they didn’t expect Chen to possess a Secret Realm of creation, which is why I was fortunate enough to escape. But next time, they won’t give Chen this chance again!”

“Right now, Chen can only hope that the commotion he caused can buy us some time, waiting for the soldiers outside the mountain to exert their strength and seize a glimmer of opportunity for us.”

“But now that two Great Demons have appeared, we must prepare for the worst and also prepare several backup plans to leave ourselves a retreat.”

After speaking, Chen Yuan’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the Celestial Dog corpse on the side, “Is this Demon’s Primordial Spirit still here?”

Upon hearing this, Old Man Dong, who was nearby, grinned, picked up the wine gourd at his waist, and while speaking, opened the lid, “It’s here. Soaking wine with this stuff is a great tonic; I wouldn’t dare waste it!”

“Pop”

The stopper was pulled out, making a sound.

Immediately after, a puff of white Qi sprayed out from the gourd, followed by the clanking sound of chains and a roaring voice.

Soon, the dragon binding cord flew out, and a ferocious, divine Gou Snake with black and white stripes all over its body, and one green and one red eye, was bound by five chains, struggling fiercely and making the chains clang loudly.

This dog was now letting out a frustrated roar, its fangs bared ferociously,

“Damn it, you Human Race Martial Armory won’t escape. Now, inside and out, everything is sealed. Even if you ascend to the heavens or descend into the earth, there’s no escape.”

“Release this Venerable One!”

“…”

Seeing this Great Demon still shouting defiantly while trapped, Old Man Dong snorted before Chen Yuan could even scold it. The blood-red runes on the Kun Long Lock quickly turned a vibrant crimson, and then, blood-red, fine electric arcs crackled on it, transforming into streaks of lightning whips that mercilessly lashed at the Demon’s body.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

The Demon quickly started screaming and wailing in pain from the lashing.

This rope was a Dao weapon refined by the Huanlong Clan’s ancestral method. When Cultivated to a powerful state, it could capture and trap Dragons, possessing incredible power. Its unique runes could even restrain true Dragons, let alone such Demons.

For a moment, it made the Great Demon smoke.

Chen Yuan listened to the Demon’s painful wails, raised his hand, and motioned for Old Man Dong to stop first.

Then, he directly seized the Demon’s Primordial Spirit, bringing it closer, causing the chains on it to clang loudly.

A faint golden light emerged from the depths of Chen Yuan’s eyes as he stared at the Demon’s demonic pupils. A cold sharpness hung on his lips, and his voice carried a hint of strangeness,

“Since you say that Yin Mountain is sealed inside and out, and we have no way to escape, it seems that as a high-ranking Celestial Dog, you should know some things others don’t. Tell me about it.”

After speaking, the golden light in Chen Yuan’s eyes turned into an inky blackness, and two rays of light shot out with a whoosh, directly surging into the Demon’s eyes.

Originally, the Demon’s ferocious vertical pupils, after the golden light slammed into them, dilated as if stretched, becoming unfocused, and its Primordial Spirit trembled violently like twitching muscles.

But this process only lasted for seven or eight breaths. A struggle appeared in the Great Demon’s pupils, and then, a low growl escaped its throat as it regained consciousness, letting out a cry of shock and anger,

“Human Race Zhonglang General, what do you want to do?”

This cry of shock and anger was mixed with a trace of fear.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. His previous action was to try using his Dharma Eye to seize the soul, and then his Dream Grafting Divine Ability, to extract information from the other party.

As a high-ranking member of the Celestial Dog Clan, this Great Demon surely knew some crucial information that might prove very useful for their current predicament.

However, this Demon was, after all, a Great Demon, with its divine faculties tightly locked and strong resistance. It would not be easy for him to achieve his goal.

Right now, the priority was to quickly weaken the Demon’s will and torment its Primordial Spirit. He didn’t waste words and spoke to the others:

“I need to use a Divine Ability to extract some information from its mouth. We might gain some crucial intelligence, but this Demon is currently resisting fiercely. You all should know what to do!”

“Chen also needs to heal as quickly as possible and restore his condition.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Man Dong immediately understood. His small eyes narrowed into a smile, “Don’t worry, leave it to this old man.”

As he spoke, with a forced smile, he manipulated the chains, hoisting the Demon into the air in an outstretched, 'big character' posture.

The Demon roared in anger, a hint of fear in its eyes.

Chen Yuan, however, paid no attention to these matters. After an understanding nod with the others, his body vanished from its spot, transforming into a golden light and leaving this space.

Behind him, the Great Demon’s screams could be heard.

Outside, in the eastern sky, the sun had already peeked over the distant mountains. Dawn was breaking, and the sky began to brighten.

At this time, on the other side, on the western flank of Yin Mountain, Demons were running rampant.

Black and white demonic hounds covered the mountains and fields, conducting a carpet search through the ravaged forests.

They entered caves, leaped into deep ravines, or transformed into wisps of mist, drilling underground, ascending to the heavens, descending to the earth, crossing mountains and ridges.

At this moment, high above the Western Mountain, a pair of terrifying silver pupils watched it all.

The owner of the eyes looked at the brightening sky, a flicker of irritation and anger passing through them, and a gloomy, aged voice rumbled from his throat.

“Cunning Human Race, it seems they know the great array will be weakened at this time!”

Just then, an indifferent voice sounded from beside him,

“Is this the good show Your Excellency wanted this Venerable One to see?”

As these words fell, the pair of ferocious silver pupils suddenly turned to the side, staring intently at the blonde man beside him, with annoyance.

“Are you mocking this old man?”

Mara’s golden eyebrows twitched as he looked at the Yin Mountain Old Demon, his lips cold, “Your Excellency underestimated him. You also saw that this Human Race Zhonglang General has too many peculiarities about him. This Venerable One warned you beforehand.”

“Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. Regardless, this person cannot be allowed to live.”

The Yin Mountain Old Demon’s silver pupils were now sinister, and silver bristles appeared around his eye sockets,

“It’s not your place to lecture this old man. He won’t escape this old man’s grasp. I will find him and refine this boy who made a fool of this old man into a Human puppet.”

Yet, he saw the other party, this Disciple under the Western Golden-Winged Great Peng, say,

“I will help Your Excellency!”

“No need for your interference.” Yet, the Old Demon still flatly refused.

Mara’s eyes narrowed, his expression blank, “This person is a common trouble for the Holy Clan and must die. Your Excellency previously prevented this Venerable One from acting, and now he has escaped. This Venerable One is not at ease.”

The Yin Mountain Old Demon directly snorted coldly, with suppressed anger, “Don’t play Mind’s Eye with this old man. I’m afraid you want to interfere because you’re after something else on this person.”

He wasn't blind; he naturally noticed the Human Race Zhonglang General’s sudden appearance of the Universe of Creation, and a towering ancient tree within that Creation!

As a Holy Clan possessing the Moon Laurel Divine Tree, he was most sensitive to this kind of aura.

Unexpectedly, Mara admitted directly, “This Venerable One indeed has some interest in what this person possesses. Your Excellency must have noticed it too.”

“Forget it, let’s find the person first!”

As he spoke, the Demon’s feet shifted, and he vanished into the Void Realm.

The Yin Mountain Old Demon’s silver pupils turned to the lower side, a sinister glint flashing within them, and then his feet also shifted, his figure disappearing into the wind.

Soon, the great sun in the sky rose, reached its zenith, and finally, unknowingly, began to set towards the west.

On the other side, outside the mountain, the sky grew dim, and wind and snow mingled.

A snow-covered mountain forest.

“Caw”

“Caw”

A black speck circled above the snowy forest, then landed on the top of a pine tree on the edge of a cliff, emitting a strange cry as harsh as a baby’s wail.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from afar, as if an avalanche had occurred in the mountain forest ahead.

On the cliff, the strange, four-clawed green bird, with green pupils, looked towards the south, but found no trace of an avalanche.

“Whoosh”

It flapped its wings, deciding to go and see! (End of Chapter)
