"You traitors!"

The aura was cold and eerie, completely different from the ghostly bloodline emanating from Shen Ling, yet equally chilling.

The demon race interfered in the trials of the monster race.

Mo Zuili's back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

A guess came to mind.

The trials of the small world haven't appeared yet. Has it already started secretly? Or has the demon race interfered, and the small world's consciousness hasn't even awakened?

If the consciousness of the small world has not awakened, then of course there can be no trials, nor can it gain recognition.

The demonic energy was faint and indistinct; before Mo Zuili could investigate it thoroughly, she could not sense anything unusual.

With an unprecedented abundance of spiritual energy within her body, Mo Zuili faced off against the three for a moment in tension, then coldly swept her gaze over Huang Tianyao.

He suddenly set off and arrived at Huang Yu's side at top speed.

He grabbed Huang Yu, leaped into the air with his toes touching the ground, and channeled his spiritual power into the teleportation talisman.

"Trying to escape?" Huang Tianyao brandished his sword, ready to give chase, when Mo Zuili threw down a magical artifact that was about to self-destruct from above.

Huang Tianyao had no choice but to dodge.

Missing the crucial moment, Huang Tianyao could only watch helplessly as Mo Zuili turned into red light and disappeared into the depths.

"Princess, your injuries are serious..." Shangguan Fu'er tried to help her up, but Huang Tianyao pushed her away.

"Chase after him." Huang Tianyao stared at the direction where Mo Zuili disappeared, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

She murmured, "She clearly broke through to the Golden Core stage, so why did she run away? And why hasn't the trial in the small world started yet? This doesn't match what's written in the book, so it's probably not that simple."

On the other side, Mo Zuili was speeding through the forest with Huang Yu, and only stopped to catch her breath after confirming that Huang Tianyao could not catch up for the time being.

Mo Zuili focused his energy in his dantian, sensing the strange balance between the Nirvana Fire and spiritual power.

"Princess, you should rest and have your wound bandaged." Huang Yu looked at the still bleeding wound on Mo Zuili's shoulder, her eyes filled with worry.

"It's nothing." Mo Zuili took out some herbs from her Sumeru Ring, applied them to the wound, and then used a white cloth to wrap and bandage it.

He kept giving instructions: "Keep an eye on Huang Geng's news. Assemble them as soon as they come in."

With her wound bandaged, Mo Zuili gripped the Phoenix Flame Spear tightly. The euphoria from her breakthrough gradually subsided, replaced by a chilling clarity.

I must not run into Huang Tianyao again.

"Let's go find the Dragon Clan's spatial barrier."

Huang Yu watched as Mo Zuili went from being bandaged to getting up in one smooth motion.

Before she could even say that she had helped bandage the wound, Mo Zuili had already finished everything and moved on to the next step.

Huang Tianlu couldn't say the exact location of the Dragon Clan's spatial barrier.

Mo Zuili had no choice but to take Huang Yu with her and search slowly, avoiding Huang Tianyao along the way. She did not sense any more demonic energy along the way.

Mo Zuili pondered to herself that the small world could only be left after the Demon King's power was successfully inherited.

When asked, Huang Tianlu and the others all said there was no other way.

There is no other way to get out of the Phoenix Ruins before they reopen.

If the demons are truly so powerful that they have already infiltrated the small world.

That situation is like catching a turtle in a jar.

Mo Zuili tried to comfort herself, saying that the novel only mentioned the demon race interfering in the demon race's trials.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

But the ominous premonition in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

As she was pondering, Mo Zuili felt the ground shake violently for a moment.

Gripping the Phoenix Flame Spear tightly, Mo Zuili warily surveyed her surroundings.

Huang Yu silently explained from behind Mo Zuili, "Princess, it seems that other demons in the small world are breaking through."

Mo Zuili remembered that when she broke through to the Golden Core stage, the lightning tribulation she had attracted was blocked by the small world.

Indeed, it is remarkably similar to this vibration.

Mo Zuili stared at the direction where the spiritual energy was surging wildly, and after a brief moment of thought, she...

After throwing out a concealment talisman, which was infused with spiritual energy and turned into green smoke that enveloped the two of them, Mo Zuili said, "Take this, conceal your aura, let's go take a look."

The two ran in the direction from which the commotion came.

As they drew near, Mo Zuili used her flying artifact to hide in the giant tree with the Phoenix Jade.

The lush foliage enveloped the two like an umbrella, allowing Mo Zuili to observe the movements below with peace of mind.

Below, in the open space, grass was interspersed with pebbles of varying sizes, and not far from the three people, there were several large, scattered rocks forming a platform.

The three people stood in a triangular formation.

The man on the left, dressed in crimson armor, was at the early stage of the Golden Core realm and was holding a long sword, looking around warily.

The man in the blue robe in the center sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by spiritual energy that gathered like a vortex.

The girl in pink on the right, in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, tightly gripped a talisman with her fingertips, her gaze fixed on the surging spiritual energy around the man.

Mo Zuili was intently observing the three of them when Huang Yu suddenly jumped in surprise, grabbed Mo Zuili's sleeve, and pointed excitedly at the boulder behind the three of them.

He whispered, "Dragon Mark! The dragon spatial barrier you're looking for, Princess, is right here!"

The mark was placed on a rhomboid stone surrounded by several boulders.

If it weren't for someone breaking through here, causing the spiritual energy to shake off the other rubble around the stone, revealing the innermost rhomboid stone that shimmered with a golden light.

Everyone would just see it as an ordinary rock.

The stone was covered with a layer of moss and looked like an ordinary rock at first glance. The only special thing was that it had been tainted with a bit of demonic energy, probably because it had been in the small world for many years.

However, this is not demonic energy, but the aura of a dragon.

After careful consideration, Mo Zuili realized that besides Huang Tianlu and Huang Yu, only Mo Yuan and Elder Tan knew about her search for the Dragon Clan's spatial barrier.

It doesn't seem like a conspiracy orchestrated by someone.

It seems that fate has its own plan, and I've finally had my lucky break.

Mo Zuili was thrilled, but for safety's sake, she had to pretend to be calm and collected on the surface.

His gaze then turned to the three people not far from the mark.

These three need to leave first.

After her initial excitement subsided, Huang Yu looked at Mo Zuili and explained softly, "These three are all from the Phoenix Clan."

After saying that, he asked with doubt, "Could it be that when the princess broke through, the small world blocked the lightning tribulation, so he wanted to take a shortcut?"

Upon hearing that they were from the Phoenix Clan, Mo Zuili inexplicably thought of Mo Yue, and her brows furrowed even deeper.

The ground shook again.

Mo Zuili and Huang Yu turned their heads at the same time; another person had broken through and was being struck by lightning.

Mo Zuili felt her body trembling.

My emotions sensed extreme danger, but my reason couldn't figure out how to avoid it.

The demon race has a long lifespan and a slower cultivation speed than the human race, which allows them to better train their physique.

They are safer than humans when breaking through.

Although a Golden Core tribulation is dangerous, a normal breakthrough will not lead to death; on the contrary, it can enhance one's physique.

The demons in this small world, whether they support themselves, support Huang Tianyao, or even just come to join the fun or broaden their horizons, all possess a certain level of strength.

It's impossible that he's a mediocre person who's afraid of lightning tribulations.

Before Mo Zuili could come to a conclusion, the man in the blue robe below had already completed his breakthrough.

Mo Zuili saw the girl in pink swallow a pill without hesitation and immediately begin to meditate. A strong suction force began to appear around her, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.

Another breakthrough to be made.

Mo Zuili gripped the Phoenix Flame Spear tightly, hesitating whether to rush down and stop the girl's breakthrough.

Suddenly, I felt something break in my little world.

"You traitors!"

An aged voice boomed from the dome of the small world, carrying anger and reaching everyone's ears.

The sound waves created air ripples as if they were real.

Mo Zuili watched helplessly as the vortex of spiritual energy above the pink-clad girl's head suddenly collapsed.

The spiritual energy backfired, and the girl instantly lost her breath.

The man in the blue robe also suddenly coughed up blood, his breath becoming weak.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Zuili felt the mysterious pressure on her disappear after entering the small world.

This mysterious feeling didn't put pressure on me; instead, it felt like a protective layer.

"It's over." Mo Zuili opened her eyes wide and murmured.

Huang Yu was about to ask, "What's wrong?" but in the next instant, she sensed demonic energy and exclaimed in a low voice, "How can there be demonic energy in the demon race's trial?!"

Mo Zuili did not answer Huang Yu's question, but fixed her gaze on the man below wearing red scale soft armor.

He left Huang Yu with the words, "Capture him alive," and then grabbed the Phoenix Flame Spear and charged out.

The man sensed something was wrong the instant Mo Zuili made her move.

Turning around, he was met head-on by Mo Zuili's eyes, which were swooping down at him.

The man's pupils contracted sharply. In the instant the man swung his sword, Mo Zuili used the momentum to spin around, and the Phoenix Flame Spear drew a graceful arc.

It brushed past the man's ear.

Seeing that the man had dodged, Mo Zuili remained calm. With her other hand, she took out two thunder talismans from her Sumeru Ring and spun around at an extremely fast speed, slapping the talismans onto the man's shoulder blade.

"boom!"

Amidst the crackling sound of lightning, the man was thrown into the air by the blast wave.

Mo Zuili gave him no chance to catch his breath, and charged forward again with his toes touching the ground, the tip of his spear aimed straight at the man's knuckles.

The Phoenix Flame Spear was blocked by a layer of pale white feathers the instant it touched the man's skin.

"Phoenix Clan's Scale Control Technique," Huang Yu, who was half a step behind Mo Zuili, explained.

Mo Zuili raised an eyebrow, but did not forcefully break the feather.

He gave Huang Yu a meaningful look.

Huang Yu nodded, and while the man was being held back by Mo Zuili, she slowly circled around to his back.

The moment she discovered the man's weakness, she used her spiritual power to condense chains and bind the man's arms.

Seeing that the person was still struggling, Mo Zuili quickly took out the Spirit Binding Lock and tied the person up tightly.

"Tell me, why is the Phoenix Clan making breakthroughs one after another in the small world? And how exactly do you intend to interfere with the trials by joining forces with the Demon Clan?"

Mo Zuili stared intently at the man, trying to discern panic on his face.

But no, even though they were caught and their conspiracy was exposed, they didn't panic at all!

The man's forehead veins bulged after he was bound. When he met the coldness in Mo Zuili's eyes, he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha! Since you're here, you and Huang Tianyao will both die! No one will ever let the Phoenix Clan become a subordinate again!"

Mo Zuili sneered and told Huang Yu to make her move, to give her a beating first.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly grinned as he turned his head to the side, and black blood seeped from the tip of his tongue.

Mo Zuili channeled her spiritual power and reached out to stop her.

But it was still too late.

Mo Zuili only touched a warm corpse.

Mo Zuili withdrew her hand without saying a word.

Huang Yu stood behind Mo Zuili, feeling suffocated by Mo Zuili's aura.

It wasn't until Mo Zuili made another move, reaching out to retract the Spirit Binding Lock, that Huang Yu cautiously spoke up, saying, "It's somewhat like a secret technique unique to the Phoenix Clan, activated by divine sense."

Mo Zuili put the Spirit Binding Lock back into the Sumeru Ring and nodded to indicate that she understood.

After realizing that the Phoenix Clan and the Demon Clan were colluding.

Upon seeing the man's dead state, Mo Zuili recalled what Mo Yuan had told her about the secret technique used by those who came to assassinate her, which led to their mysterious deaths after being captured.
