Chapter 148 I've seen you before!

Facing Jianzhen's words, everyone simply chose to ignore them; they had to save some Face for Shen Tai, after all.

However, at this moment, everyone was also somewhat confused.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, you said this fiend is the Drought Demon? Why is it that when I look at her, I don't feel any of that malevolent Qi? As for her appearance…"

Daoist Zizai thought of his own shrew of a wife, and a trace of lingering fear flashed across his Face.

"Hmm, she does indeed have a fierce look."

Jiang Chen thought to himself, this is no Drought Demon; this is clearly the daughter of Xuanyuan, the Imperial Princess Nvba.

"Hey, what are you whispering about over there? I want to hear too!"

Just then, the "Drought Demon" suddenly spoke, immediately making everyone act as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

They had witnessed the opponent's strength; with just a breath, she could melt Shen Tai's Magical Artifact. In terms of one-on-one combat, it was likely that none of them were a match for her.

But seeing that the "Drought Demon" didn't seem to have any intention of coming over, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me emphasize this one more time: I am not some evil spirit, and I am certainly not a Drought Demon! I am the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, and my name is Nvba!"

Her words stirred up a storm. Even though Jiang Chen was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Nvba state her identity.

The others looked at each other in dismay.

Some were bewildered, some were deep in thought, and others were disdainful.

"Nvba? Could it be the Celestial Lady Ba recorded in the ancient texts?" Shen Tai frowned tightly.

"Is she the daughter of the ancient Yellow Emperor, Celestial Lady Ba?"

"What Celestial Lady? It's just some fabricated nonsense; how can it be taken seriously? I have read extensively in the Secret Treasury Domain and have never heard of a person named Nvba."

"That's right. The chronicles of the ancient Yellow Emperor are of unknown authenticity. This Drought Demon is impersonating Celestial Lady Ba to wreak havoc on the world. Her intentions deserve death, and her actions deserve death!" Tian Tui declared confidently.

"Everyone, do not be deceived by her. Now, activate the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation and subdue this demon!"

After saying this, Tian Tui was the first to charge forward.

As soon as Nvba heard Tian Tui's words, her eyes widened in shock. Seeing him charge forward, she was absolutely furious.

She had managed to suppress the ominous curse in her body for a short time at the bottom of the sea, which allowed her to walk outside like a normal person for a little while.

Yet, the moment she came out, she heard a group of people loudly plotting to destroy her.

She had originally intended to explain, but who would have known that these people would immediately try to subdue demons and eliminate devils without a second word?

Heavens, she was just a poor, weak woman; what did she do wrong?

If it weren't for that old hag, she would still be sleeping peacefully right now!

"Huh? Wait, I think I've seen you before!"

Just then, Nvba suddenly noticed Jiang Chen, who stood out from the crowd of monks and Daoists.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes showed a strange look. Seen me?

The others looked around, and finally, all eyes converged on Jiang Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, could it be that you have some connection with this evil spirit?" Daoist Zizai said sinisterly.

"Why waste words with him? It's better to kill the wrong person than to let a culprit go. Why not kill this traitor first, then eliminate the demon?" Shen Tai had already drawn his sword, his True Qi restless.

"Daoist Priest Jiang, do you really know this Drought Demon… Nvba?" Jianzhen was also somewhat suspicious.

Jiang Chen was also uncertain, because he was certain that he did not know Nvba. Why would Nvba say she had seen him?

Could it be that she knew someone in the past who looked like him? But given Nvba's Realm, she shouldn't have mistaken him for someone else.

Tian Tui looked sharply at Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen knew Nvba, his plan might suffer some unexpected complications!

He couldn't let any more complications arise!

"Everyone, do not hesitate. Do not listen to this Prodigy's attempts to sow discord. Let us all activate the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation and suppress the evil spirit!"

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed. From the moment they arrived here until now, Tian Tui had repeatedly and specifically urged everyone to cast the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation together.

It seemed his guess was likely correct; there was a problem with this Formation!

But upon hearing Tian Tui's words, Daoist Zizai and Master Chengjue flew up without hesitation, using their bodies as the eyes of the Formation to activate it.

In an instant, the churning sea surface suddenly calmed down. As the two circulated their True Qi, they skillfully connected to the earth's veins, and they felt a surge of massive power flood into their bodies, making them feel incredibly full!

Daoist Zizai was originally only at the Middle Stage of the Life Wheel, but with the blessing of this massive terrestrial power, he suddenly felt the urge to compete with Jiang Chen.

"Everyone, do not hesitate any longer. The more people there are casting the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation, the greater the blessing from the earth's veins. Only if the nine of us work together can we eliminate this demon!" Tian Tui shouted.

Then he also began to join the Formation, casting it. For a moment, Daoist Zizai and Master Chengjue felt that the power of the earth's veins had strengthened by another notch.

Seeing that Tian Tui had already activated the Formation, Shen Tai, Vajrabodhi, and Amoghavajra no longer hesitated, stepping forward one after another to join the Formation.

At this moment, only Jiang Chen and the other two had not yet cooperated to join the Formation.

The six people attacked Nvba in unison, but their combined strength only made Nvba look slightly serious.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what are you still hesitating for? Do you really want to associate with the Drought Demon?" Tian Tui's voice was sincere, making even Jianzhen want to step forward and help.

"Daoist Priest Jiang?"

"Alright, stay calm, I'm coming to save you right now!"

Jiang Chen suddenly drew his sword, and a crimson sword light shot straight into the sky. All kinds of power were displayed to the extreme, forcing everyone to look over.

Daoist Zizai's eyelid twitched; the desire he had just felt to compete with Jiang Chen was instantly extinguished.

Jiang Chen's figure rose with his sword, and in the blink of an eye, he joined the battle.

But before Tian Tui could rejoice, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "Jiang Chen, what is the meaning of this?!"

Because this sword strike from Jiang Chen was not aimed at Nvba, but was heading straight for Tian Tui!

"Of course, it's to take your life!"

Facing a sword strike with such momentum, even Tian Tui, who possessed the blessing of the earth's vein power, could not remain indifferent.

He had to temporarily disengage from Nvba and focus his full attention on facing Jiang Chen.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation on the field, Nvba stopped calmly to watch the show.

Of course, most of her attention was focused on Jiang Chen.

"Strange, he is clearly that person. Why is he pretending not to know me? Could it be that I really mistook him for someone else?"

"If it really is him, he should still have a way to suppress the curse inside my body."

...

At this moment, the situation on the field changed rapidly. Jiang Chen slashed at Tian Tui with his sword. This strike caught him off guard; even though Tian Tui had extraordinary strength and the blessing of the earth's vein power, he was knocked back dozens of zhang by this strike.

"Jiang Chen, do you really want to defy the world?!" Tian Tui shouted angrily.

Although the others were suspicious, they all just watched from the sidelines, without making any move to intervene, occasionally just speaking up to try and dissuade them.

Especially Shen Tai, who was now somewhat eager to try, wanting to join forces with Tian Tui to kill Jiang Chen, but reason kept him in place.

"The one defying the world is you!" Jiang Chen's gaze was cold as he continued to slash down with his sword.

Under the impact of the sword's momentum, Tian Tui only felt as if his internal organs were burning.

How could this Jiang Chen's strength change so much every day?

"You forced me to do this!" Tian Tui's gaze turned cold. He pinched a seal with both hands and began to reverse the activation of the Three Mountains and Nine Marquises Formation.

The few people originally in the Formation suddenly changed expressions and retreated repeatedly, but they were bound in place by the power of the earth's veins, unable to advance or retreat.

"Fellow Daoist Abe, if you don't act now, when will you?"
