Dark clouds covered the sky above the Star Gate, with flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder.

The sounds of fighting and the clash of various magical artifacts rang out, occasionally tearing open a gap in the dark clouds, allowing sunlight to briefly shine onto the earth, only to be quickly buried again by the clouds.

No matter how profound Han Haotian's cultivation was, it was still no match for Fu Zefang and the others.

Although there are many demonic cultivators, their cultivation level is too low.

It wasn't long before Lin Yuan and his group cleaned it up.

"The key to the Demon Lord's descent lies with him; capture him alive!"

Lin Yuan had already noticed something was wrong.

He had been observing Han Haotian the whole time.

They discovered that although his cultivation had improved, he had no intention of actually going into battle.

If this person were truly as powerful as he claims, this situation would never have occurred.

If they don't take action, it must be because they have some reservations.

Upon realizing this, he understood the key point.

For the Demon Lord to descend to earth, certain conditions must be met.

If special conditions weren't required, the Star Gate wouldn't have ended up like this.

These demonic cultivators charged forward without any regard for consequences, clearly indicating they were not important figures.

The one who truly cherishes his life is the arrogant and conceited Han Haotian from before.

Therefore, this guy might be the vessel for the Demon Lord's descent into the world.

Fu Zefang and the others were also startled, and then they rushed forward, intending to take him away and interrogate him slowly.

Despite being surrounded by these people, Han Haotian remained completely calm.

He gave the crowd a wicked smile, "Since you guessed it, there's no need to keep you here any longer!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

The next moment, several figures appeared out of thin air and surrounded Fu Zefang and the others.

"This is……"

Everyone turned around in shock, and after seeing what those people looked like, they were speechless with astonishment.

Lin Yuan calmly glanced at these people and said, "The Demon Lord's twelve guardians."

He had heard about this from Zhou Ji when he talked about the Demon Realm in the past.

Although the Demon Lord is powerful, he is someone who hates trouble.

Normally, he would give orders to the Dharma Protectors to handle any matters.

Before the Demon Lord even descended into the world, his twelve guardians appeared first.

I don't know how strong they are, but the fact that they were able to protect Han Haotian and get him away suggests that he's definitely going to become the Demon Lord's vessel.

"Smart, but unfortunately he's about to die."

The chief of the twelve guardians sneered and waved his hand, and the crowd rushed forward.

In terms of cultivation level, Lin Yuan was indeed the lowest among them.

However, he was not afraid of these things, after all, Fu Zefang and the others were all at the Nascent Soul stage, which was more than enough to deal with these guardians.

The most important thing now is to capture Han Haotian.

Otherwise, if the Demon Lord successfully descends upon the world, the human realm will once again be plunged into chaos and suffering.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the two sides fighting, Lin Yuan slipped away quietly.

Fu Zefang and Zhou Ji exchanged a glance, successfully concealing his departure, and took out their magical artifacts to attract the attention of the guardians.

Inside the Starry Sky Sect, most of the disciples had been sent out to meet the enemy, while Han Haotian sat alone in the hall, his face gloomy.

His cultivation level has improved fast enough; any faster and his body won't be able to handle it.

However, the Dharma protectors still felt it wasn't enough; for them, it was simply too slow.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the vessel chosen for the Demon Lord, he would have been forced to speed up his cultivation by now.

He hasn't completely lost his senses yet.

Naturally, he also knew that he would become the vessel for the Demon Lord.

But just now, at a certain moment, Han Haotian suddenly felt somewhat unwilling.

Why should he become a vessel, allowing that demon lord to take away everything he had worked so hard to obtain?

This body is clearly his, and he improved his cultivation level himself.

He was very unwilling!
