Chapter 149: Exploring the Demonic Palace and Facing the Dark Hand (Part 1)

The Corrupted Claw Demon City, a hideous city whose very name is enough to strike fear into the hearts of many desperate men in the Demon Realm. It wasn't built on ordinary land, but rather upon the skeleton of an unimaginably massive, unknown ancient demonic beast. The beast's ribs formed a natural protective wall, its spine the city's main thoroughfare, and its massive skull transformed into the Demon Lord's palace. Its hollow eye sockets burned with an eternal green soul fire, overlooking the entire city. The architecture was crude and barbaric, utilizing natural bone and mined black magic stone. The banners symbolizing the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord's authority—a massive claw dripping with corrosive green slime—were everywhere, fluttering in the sulfur-scented wind.

The "Blood Feast," a once-a-decade event in the Rotten Claw Demon City, is more than just an auction; it serves as a crucial platform for the various factions in the Demon Realm to flex their muscles, exchange interests, and acquire "special resources." Auction items range from rare demonic ores and mysterious martial arts manuals to slaves of various races, domesticated beasts, and even cultivators with special physiques or talents captured from the spirit world or other smaller worlds. The darkness and cruelty of the auction far exceed ordinary imagination.

Under the protection of Lin Feng and his elite members of the Phantom Chamber, Ye Li and Qin Yixuan, with their superb disguises and their well-prepared, flawless Demon Realm identity documents, successfully infiltrated the treacherous Demon City. With the help of informants planted by the Phantom Chamber and key individuals bribed with significant sums of money, they quickly ascertained the auction house's basic structure, the guard rotation schedule, and most importantly, the storage location of their "special cargo," which was surprisingly located deep within the heavily guarded Demon Palace, in a dungeon reserved for important prisoners.

"According to the last piece of encrypted intelligence passed down by an insider at the risk of his life," Lin Feng reported to Ye Li and Qin Yixuan in a secret basement called Youge, located underground in the slums of Demon City and reinforced by multiple formations. He pointed to a crude but clearly marked map drawn on the wall with special potions and reported, "The cargo is being held in solitary confinement at the bottom of the dungeon, guarded by the captain of the personal guard of the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord and a special envoy sent by the Shadow Demon. The garrison is extremely strong, with at least two demon generals in the early stage of the Nirvana Realm. One of the prisoners has been subjected to multiple powerful soul restrictions and physical shackles and is being held in solitary confinement in a special cell at the very back. He's said to be extremely important, and even the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord himself is paying close attention to him. He could very well be our target."

"Is Shadow Demon's envoy here too?" Ye Li's eyes were slightly cold. "It seems that the importance of this batch of 'cargo' is even higher than we expected. We must find a way to confirm the identity of that special prisoner."

Forcing your way into the Demon Palace dungeon is like throwing an egg against a rock. The Corrupted Claw Demon Palace is rife with restrictions and interlocking formations, and even overseen by the late-stage Nirvana-level Demon Lord himself. Once discovered, you'd be in danger of saving yourself, not just others. The best strategy is to disguise yourself and infiltrate the auction, or take advantage of the chaotic pre-auction period when the crowds are thick and security is lax, and try to infiltrate the dungeon.

Qin Yixuan pondered for a moment and proposed a bold idea: "I can use the essence of the Mysterious Woman to simulate the pure aura of a high-level demon clan and disguise myself as a powerful demon noble for a short period of time. Perhaps we can pretend to be a buyer with a strong interest in this batch of goods, use our 'identity' to request an advance inspection, and thus get closer to our target."

This idea was extremely risky. High-ranking demons held a high status in the Demon Realm, but impersonating them could easily be detected by the truly powerful, especially the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord or his henchmen, through their bloodline or special senses.

Ye Li's eyes fell on Lin Feng, and asked, "Can Youge get a suitable identity that is not easily exposed in a short period of time?"

Lin Feng was obviously well prepared and nodded immediately: "There is a ready-made target. Our 'Shadow Chamber of Commerce' has recently had close mineral trade relations with a high-level demon tribe called the 'Red Blood Clan'. A powerful elder of the tribe and his followers are currently in the Magic City. They have previously expressed interest in this special batch of goods through an intermediary. We can..." He made a hidden throat-wiping gesture, his eyes cold.

Ye Li shook her head, rejecting this overly drastic plan. "There's no need to alert the enemy and draw unnecessary attention. Can we create some 'accidents' to prevent them from personally inspecting the goods, and then have us take their place? Or, even safer, using illusions and superb disguises, we can blend into their entourage while they're inspecting the goods?"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he quickly analyzed, "The latter is safer and less risky! I'll immediately arrange to obtain detailed information on the Red Blood Clan elders and their core followers, including their appearance, body type, cultivation techniques, behavioral habits, accents, and even some subtle movements that are not well known to the public. At the same time, prepare the appropriate weapons and magical instruments that can simulate the unique blood energy fluctuations of the Red Blood Clan, and arrange for members proficient in illusion techniques to cooperate to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The power of Youge, amassed over many years in the Demon Realm, was fully demonstrated. Within half a day, Ye Li had detailed information on the Red Blood Clan elder, Xue Li, and his two trusted followers (a warrior and a shaman priest). Also readily available were a nearly lifelike human skin mask, a magical amulet emitting a strong bloody aura, and jade slips containing the Red Blood Clan's language, customs, and tribal secrets. Lin Feng's men had also successfully spiked the Red Blood Clan elder's drinking spring with a rare, non-lethal magic herb powder that temporarily disrupted his magical powers. This caused him to suffer a "sudden illness," leaving him too weak to personally inspect the area. Instead, he dispatched his "most trusted" confidants (Ye Li and Qin Yixuan, disguised as Ye Li) to inspect the contents.

Everything was ready, like a spider's web, waiting for its prey to enter. An hour before the auction began, the atmosphere in the Demon City was already stirring. Ye Li disguised herself as the stern, menacing Red Blood Clan warrior "Blood Fang," while Qin Yixuan took on the role of the accompanying witch priest "You Ma," shrouded in a vast black robe and possessing a gloomy and gloomy aura. Led by "servants" from within the Demon Palace, arranged by Lin Feng and already under the control of Youge, the two swaggered towards the Rotten Claw Demon Palace's deep entrance, resembling the throat of a giant beast.

The Demon Palace's interior was a maze of intricate passageways, dimly lit. Magic crystals shone a pale green or blue, illuminating the patrolling guards' grimacing, twisted faces and icy gazes. The air was thick with demonic energy and a faint scent of blood. With the precise map provided by Lin Feng and the silent guidance of their accomplice, they navigated their way safely, passing through several powerful barrier screens and finally reaching the entrance to a dank and eerie dungeon deep within the Demon Palace.

The dungeon entrance was markedly more heavily guarded. Besides the eight imposing, heavily armored personal guards of the Corrupted Claw Lord, two emissaries, clad in the distinctive black robes of the Shadow Fiends, their faces shrouded in shadow, exuding an aura of cold, deathly stillness, stood like statues to either side. Seeing the Red Blood Clan approach, one of the Shadow Fiend emissaries stepped forward, a hoarse, metallic voice emanating from beneath his hood: "Verify your identity."

Ye Li, the warrior general "Blood Fang," snorted coldly, deliberately unleashing a simulated, aggressive, and bloody Red Blood Clan aura. He threw a domino, a token of a Red Blood Clan elder, depicting a ferocious beast head, with a hint of arrogance. Qin Yixuan, the witch priest "You Ma," stood silently behind him. Beneath her wide black robe, the power of the goddess Xuan Nu rippled subtly, like invisible ripples, influencing the guards' minds and judgment, subconsciously reinforcing their conviction that the person before them was a representative of the Red Blood Clan and reducing their desire to investigate further.

The Shadow Demon Messenger took the dominoes and carefully examined the blood imprints and unique magic patterns on them. He then raised his emotionless eyes and, like a venomous snake, carefully sensed the "pure" blood evil aura surrounding Ye Li (this aura was simulated by the magic weapon and slightly adjusted and concealed by the power of the Samsara Mirror). After confirming that it was correct, he stepped aside to make way for a passage, his voice still cold: "Go in. Time is limited. You can only see the special batch. Lord Fuzhua and Venerable Xuancong are inside."

Venerable Xuan Cong!

The moment she heard that name, even though Ye Li's heart was as strong as iron, her heart suddenly shrank, almost jumping out of her chest! Xuan Cong! He was one of the three supreme beings who had teamed up with Ling Hao and Mo Shang to betray her in her previous life, leading to her death with hatred! He was actually here! Deep in this dungeon!

Raging hatred and murderous intent erupted from within her like a volcano, threatening to burst through her disguise and consume her. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. Relying on the piercing pain and the cool, steadying aura emanating from the fragments of the Samsara Mirror within her sea of ​​consciousness, she managed to suppress her surging emotions and maintain the cold, impatience that belonged to Blood Fang.

Qin Yixuan also immediately felt Ye Li's violent emotional fluctuations. She quietly took a half step closer, and a gentler and more invisible power of the mysterious woman silently passed into Ye Li's body, like the most effective sedative, helping her calm her agitated mind.

"I understand." Ye Li responded briefly in a hoarse voice, imitating the tone of a Red Blood Clan warrior, and then took Qin Yixuan into the depths of the dungeon that exuded a strong ominous atmosphere.

She knew the true test had only just begun. Not only did they have to identify their target, but they also had to complete this perilous exploration under the watchful eyes of a former Supreme, now their mortal enemy. Every step was like walking a tightrope over an abyss.

Deep in the dungeon, the light grew dimmer, the air damp and chilly, and filled with a nauseating, eerie odor of aged blood, rotting flesh, and various forbidden energies. The cells on either side were mostly empty, and the few that held prisoners were mostly moaning, their eyes numb and hopeless, like bodies drained of their souls. In the darkness, they uttered faint moans or fell completely silent.

Led by the guards, Ye Li and Qin Yixuan followed the spiraling stone steps down to the dungeon's lowest level. The space here was relatively open, but the sense of oppression was doubled. The walls were engraved with increasingly complex and sinister magic patterns, gleaming with an ominous light, clearly a powerful confinement and isolation formation.

At the deepest part, two people stood in front of an independent cell that was completely isolated by a thick, special forbidden light curtain flowing with dark red energy.

A man with an extremely burly figure, nearly three meters tall, was wearing thick and hideous bone armor made of some kind of black metal and leather from unknown creatures. His exposed skin was bluish-black and covered with strange magic patterns. On his head stood a pair of huge, curved magic horns that flashed with cold light. His whole body exuded a terrifying magic power like that of a prehistoric beast. Just standing there seemed to freeze the air around him - it was the ruler of this place, the Demon Lord of Corrupted Claws!

The other figure stood out from the crowd in this demonic realm. Dressed in a simple gray Taoist robe, he was slender and gaunt, appearing like a well-read, sage-like elder. However, his eyes, as deep as ancient wells, held no trace of human warmth, only an unchanging coldness and an apathy that seemed to see through all things and transcend them all. He stood with his hands behind his back, his aura strangely blending in with the surroundings, yet remaining detached from them—it was Xuan Cong!

The moment she saw Xuan Cong, even though she had been mentally prepared, Ye Li's breathing hitched, as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat. Images of her past life flashed through her mind uncontrollably: the time they'd discussed the Dao together, the friendship of mutual support, and finally, that unforgettable betrayal. The excruciating pain and coldness of being stabbed from behind by the person she trusted most... The deeply buried pain and anger, like ignited dynamite, threatened to shatter all her rationality.

She clenched her teeth tightly, and even tasted a hint of sweetness on the tip of her tongue. Relying on the cool breath like a magic needle coming from the fragments of the Samsara Mirror, and the soothing power of the goddess Xuannu that Qin Yixuan quietly brought to her, she barely suppressed the murderous intent and hatred that was about to burst out of her body back to the deepest part of her heart, maintaining the indifference of "Blood Fang" and a just right impatience on her face.

Qin Yixuan also felt the icy pressure, as if it were tangible, and the turbulent emotions swirling within Ye Li. She clenched her hands slightly beneath her black robe and focused more on Xuan Cong, ready to respond to any potential incidents.

When the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord saw the people from the "Red Blood Clan", he spoke in a rough voice, his voice like the rubbing of two huge rocks: "Are you the ones who want to see the goods? Hurry up! Don't delay the important matters of this Lord and the Venerable!" His eyes swept over Ye Li and Qin Yixiuan with a hint of scrutiny, but he found nothing unusual. It was obvious that he was very confident in the disguise prepared by Youge.

Xuan Cong's gaze swept over calmly. It seemed calm, yet it seemed to penetrate the flesh and reach the very essence of the soul. Ye Li and Qin Yixuan both felt an invisible, mercury-like pressure descend upon them, as if every thought and breath they took was being observed by the other.

Ye Li suppressed the discomfort coming from her soul and said in a hoarse and somewhat arrogant voice according to the prepared words: "On the orders of the elders, confirm the status of the goods, especially... that key 'container'." She deliberately emphasized the word "container" and cast her eyes towards the cell shrouded in special restrictions, trying to see the situation inside through the dark red light curtain.

Inside the cell, a figure huddled in a corner, its body entwined with countless pitch-black chains gleaming with eerie runes. The chains wriggled subtly as if alive, constantly drawing strength from the prisoner. The prisoner's aura was faint and chaotic, yet Ye Li and Qin Yixuan could both clearly sense that it was neither human nor an ordinary demon. Within it lurked a profoundly obscure energy wave that faintly resonated with the fragments of the Samsara Mirror within Ye Li's sea of ​​consciousness. It seemed to be a specially refined and modified "artificial vessel" designed to hold a certain power. Its form vaguely resembled a humanoid, but the details were blurred, as if forcibly blended from multiple disparate substances, imbued with an aura of disharmony and pain.

Xuan Cong's eyes moved slightly, as if he was a little surprised that the "Red Blood Clan" knew the word "container" so accurately, but he did not delve into it. He just said lightly, his voice steady but with an unquestionable majesty: "The container is in a stable state, and the key 'primer' required for the ceremony is also ready. Tell your elders that the premise of cooperation is sincerity. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, otherwise..." He didn't finish, but the invisible threat penetrated like ice.

Ye Li felt a chill in her heart, knowing Xuan Cong was a man of deep cunning and meticulous thought. She couldn't stay long, lest he discover more flaws. She pretended to examine the "container" in the cell carefully, focusing on sensing the energy properties that resonated with the Samsara Mirror. She nodded and said in a slightly gruff tone befitting her "Blood Fang" identity, "He's in good condition, and the energy reaction is as expected. I'll report this truthfully to the Elder." With that, she gestured for Qin Yixuan to prepare to leave.

However, just as they turned around and took a step forward, with their backs to Xuan Cong and the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord—

Something strange happened!

The Shadow Demon Envoy, who had been silently following behind them, leading and monitoring them, felt a faint vibration from the inconspicuous black jade pendant on his waist. His body stiffened, his expression suddenly changing, a flicker of disbelief and terror in his eyes. He shouted, his voice sharp with urgency, "Stop them! They're fakes! The Red Blood Clan elder just sent an emergency message, saying their men haven't even set out yet due to the elder's emergency!"

Exposed!

Almost at the moment when the Shadow Demon Messenger's voice rang out, Ye Li and Qin Yixuan reacted instantly like bowstrings that had been stretched to the extreme!

Ye Li retreated without warning. No longer was she feigning the murderous aura of the Red Blood Clan, but instead, a cold, pure sword intent, imbued with the true meaning of annihilation and reincarnation, erupted. The Mysterious Ice Sword instantly appeared in her hand, no longer ordinary. A chaotic light shone through the blade, like gray lightning. With speed beyond the reach of vision, it pierced the throat of the Shadow Demon Messenger who had revealed their identities! This most direct threat must be eliminated first to prevent him from sounding any further alarms!

Qin Yixuan simultaneously shed her disguise, and a radiant, multicolored glow suddenly erupted from her body like a long-suppressed rising sun! The sacred, majestic, all-purifying aura of the Mysterious Woman formed an extremely powerful counter-attack against the foul, cold demonic energy within the dungeon, emitting a fierce, hissing sound! She formed hand seals, and a stream of purifying divine light, imbued with the laws of life and order, instantly unfolded like the strongest barrier, precisely blocking Ye Li and meeting the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord's enraged, instantly slashing claws coated in green, corrosive energy.

boom!

The purifying divine light collided with the corrosive claws, and the shockwave from the energy explosion sent shattered rocks cascading down the dungeon passage. Qin Yixuan groaned, her face pale. Clearly, taking the furious blow from the late Nirvana Realm Demon Lord had taken a heavy toll on her, but she had managed to buy Ye Li precious time!

"You guys?!" Xuan Cong's eyes flashed with surprise for the first time. Though fleeting, the surprise was genuine. He had clearly not expected Ye Li and Qin Yixuan to venture so deep into the Demon Realm, even to the heavily guarded dungeon of the Demon Palace! Then, that surprise transformed into a murderous intent as cold as a thousand years of profound ice. "Ye Li! And the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady! If you don't take the road to heaven, you'll find hell without a door!"

He did not attack immediately, but the aura around him suddenly became extremely dangerous, as if the entire dungeon space began to twist and solidify under his will. A kind of law suppression originating from the supreme level, like an invisible cage, began to cover Ye Li and Qin Yixuan!

"Go!" Ye Li shouted softly. Her sword had already pierced the Shadow Demon Envoy's protective magic energy, and the annihilation sword intent instantly annihilated his life force. Without even a glance at the fallen body, she reunited with Qin Yixuan. Without hesitation, the two of them transformed into two streams of light, one gray, one colorful, and rushed towards the dungeon exit! They had to rush out of the dungeon before the enemy surrounded them, to have a chance of escape!

"Want to leave? Stay here!" the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord roared, his voice shaking the entire dungeon. He raised his massive claws again, this time condensing even more terrifying corrosive energy, even triggering the magic patterns on the dungeon walls, transforming them into countless pitch-black tentacles that coiled around Ye Li and Qin Yixuan from all directions, blocking all their escape routes!

Xuan Cong finally raised his hand slowly. He didn't use any magic weapon, but just casually stepped forward.

Buzz!

A grayish light, seemingly imbued with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the concept of the return of all things to the abyss, arrived first, ignoring the distance between them and the obstruction of demonic tentacles, appearing directly behind Ye Li and Qin Yixuan! The light wasn't dazzling, even somewhat dim, but wherever it passed, space seemed to wail and collapse, leaving the two feeling an unprecedented, soul-deep threat of death! This was a power beyond the Nirvana realm, belonging to the Supreme level. Even if Xuan Cong might not be present in person, his strength far exceeded that of ordinary Nirvana peaks!

At this critical moment, Ye Li violently pushed Qin Yixuan forward and resolutely turned around! She knew that even if Qin Yixuan could block Xuan Cong's attack, she would be seriously injured, and even her essence might be in danger! Only she, with the fragments of the Samsara Mirror and a hint of the true meaning of reincarnation that she had just comprehended, might be able to barely block it!

"Mirror of Samsara, help me!"

She cried out inwardly, and the four fragments of the Samsara Mirror within her sea of ​​consciousness whirled frantically at unprecedented speed, erupting with a brilliant, chaotic light! All her strength, her newly awakened Nirvana spiritual energy, her understanding of samsara, her unyielding will, were poured into the Mystic Ice Sword! She pushed the Six Paths of Samsara Sword Intent to its fullest potential, no longer focused solely on annihilation. Instead, she attempted to evolve a miniature, encompassing samsara sword domain, meeting the gray, supreme finger of light!

"Six Paths of Reincarnation, Pure Land Carrying!"

Boom——!!!

The power of the Supreme Being collided violently with the Samsara Sword Domain! There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a violent friction and annihilation at the level of laws! The gray finger light struck the chaotic sword domain like a chisel, making a teeth-grinding hissing sound. Ye Li felt an indescribable force, as if it could shatter the stars. The Xuanbing Sword wailed under the heavy burden. The bones of her right arm holding the sword cracked slightly, and the tiger's mouth completely shattered, and blood instantly dyed the hilt red. Her internal organs felt as if struck by a sledgehammer, and her blood and qi surged backwards. Her throat felt sweet, and she suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood!

As if struck by a high-speed mountain, she flew backward uncontrollably, slamming into the dungeon's solid, demonic-marked wall with a resounding thud. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall. She slid to the ground, her breath instantly weakening. Her face turned pale, her vision blackening, and she nearly fainted. A single blow had already severely injured her! The gap between the Supreme and Nirvana was like a chasm, insurmountable!

"Ali!" Qin Yixuan, who was pushed away, saw Ye Li flying backwards with serious injuries, and let out a heart-wrenching scream. She wanted to turn around to help, but was entangled by more demonic tentacles controlled by the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord and the guards of the Demon Palace who rushed up, and was unable to escape for a while.

Xuan Cong's face was expressionless. He took a step forward, and as if shrinking the earth into an inch, he crossed a distance of dozens of feet and came to Ye Li, who was leaning against the wall, barely supporting herself and trying to stand up. He looked down at her with a cold gaze, as if he were looking at an ant. "The fragments of the Samsara Mirror should not be left out there. It's time to return them to their rightful owner."

He stretched out his palm and slowly grasped at Ye Li's brow! The palm seemed ordinary, the skin delicate, even with faint lines visible, but in Ye Li's perception, it seemed to transform into a giant palm covering the world, containing the terrifying power of the law of extermination and suppression of all things! In the palm of his palm, it seemed as if the universe was born and died, and time and space rotated. It wanted to completely strip away and devour her soul, her foundation, and everything she was!

A flash of despair and overwhelming resentment flashed across Ye Li's eyes. Could it be that after all the hardships she had endured, after all her rebirth through nirvana, she still couldn't escape her fate? Her parents hadn't been rescued, the truth still unrevealed, how could she die here?!

At this critical moment, when life and death are about to be decided——

"Pavilion Master! Let's go!"

A familiar roar, filled with desperate will, emanated from the dungeon entrance! Lin Feng, leading dozens of elite members dressed in the standard black uniforms of the Youge, blood-soaked but with eyes filled with madness and determination, forcibly broke through the Demon Palace guards and charged in! They had clearly endured an extremely brutal battle, and everyone was wounded, but their momentum was unstoppable!

Seeing Ye Li in imminent danger, Lin Feng and the others were furious. Without any hesitation, they roared and threw all the powerful thunder and fire talismans, poisonous miasma beads, and even some disposable self-destructive magic weapons they carried towards Xuan Cong and the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord, and detonated them frantically as if they were free!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!

A continuous barrage of violent explosions, a riot of colors, a poisonous miasma, and demonic fire, all laden with negative effects, instantly enveloped the vast area near the dungeon entrance! The blinding light, deafening roar, and pervasive toxic smoke temporarily obstructed vision and divine sense, also slightly hindering Xuan Cong's decisive claw!

"A bunch of ants, courting death!" Xuan Cong frowned slightly, clearly displeased by the "noise." He casually waved his sleeves, and an invisible yet vast force spread out like a tide, easily dispersing and annihilating the aftermath of the chain explosions and the pervasive poisonous miasma. But even this brief, almost negligible delay—

Despite being injured, Qin Yixuan forcibly shook off the entangled monsters and guards, transformed into a stream of nine-colored light, rushed to Ye Li's side, and lifted her up! Ye Li forced the last bit of her almost dissipated spiritual power and without hesitation activated the life-saving treasure given by the Yaoguang Palace Master - the "Void Escape Talisman"!

A dazzling silver light suddenly erupted from the jade pendant, like a miniature sun, instantly enveloping Ye Li and Qin Yixuan! The powerful force of space twisted and vibrated, ready to teleport the two away!

"Want to escape? Wishful thinking!" Xuan Cong's eyes turned cold. He had obviously not expected the other party to possess such a high-level spatial treasure. He pointed his finger again, and the gray finger light followed the silver spatial light, attempting to defeat it before it could fully teleport!

puff!

The silver light in space flickered and twisted violently, as if under immense pressure. It eventually blurred and faded, carrying the figures of Ye Li and Qin Yixuan with it, before disappearing from the scene. However, the remaining power of the gray finger seemed to have penetrated the spatial barrier and struck something. A faint groan echoed from the void.

All that remained was the gradually subsiding energy aftermath, a devastated dungeon, the livid, furious Corrupted Claw Demon Lord, Xuan Cong with eyes as cold as a thousand years of ice, and... Lin Feng and dozens of other blood-soaked Youge warriors, supporting each other, facing the two peerless demons without fear, their eyes filled with determination and a sense of mission...
