The mythical beast Qilin clan is not strong in attack, but its physical defense is amazing. Moreover, its spiritual power is best at healing the wounded. As long as a living being still alive, it can usually be cured under its care.

Therefore, after a period of rest, the remaining hundred or so divine beast youths in the city all recovered completely, except that the twenty Qilin had suffered some serious depletion of spiritual power.

However, since the divine beast youths arrived in the Central Plains, they have won many battles under Liuli's leadership. When they were cleaning up the battlefield, they obtained a lot of golden pills, nascent souls, relics, and Taoist elixirs. The twenty Qilin youths took out the golden pills and other items and ate them, and their depleted spiritual power was quickly replenished.

Seeing this, Liuli said in a deep voice, "Let's go, follow me, and kill!"

"kill!"

More than a hundred divine beast youths had lost their good companions, and this was a time of grief and indignation. Gone was their usual playful attitude; they all looked solemn and shouted in unison.

During the time the divine beast youths were healing their injuries, no righteous disciples came looking for them. There were only clanging and banging sounds of fighting outside, and the fighting was still going on.

As Liuli turned to walk towards the tightly closed gate, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly rang out from outside. Immediately afterward, a demon cried out in surprise, "It's the Demon God! The Demon God from the Chi You Banner!"

Then came the screams of the righteous disciples rising and falling. After a moment's pause, Liuli opened the gate and walked out, followed closely by a group of divine beast youths.

Outside this old house is a long street. On one side of the street, a few houses still remain, while on the other side, everything is in ruins. The flames ignited by the lightning and fire calamity have merged into one, burning fiercely.

Liuli went outside and looked closely. She saw a dozen demons standing around cheering loudly, while a black phantom was wantonly slaughtering more than a hundred righteous disciples.

That phantom was one of the eighty-one demon gods. His cultivation was equivalent to that of a late-stage demon lord. How could these hundred-odd Daoists, whose highest cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul stage, possibly defeat him?

At that moment, the demon god was grinning maliciously as he grabbed a young Taoist priest by the neck, black energy swirling around his hand, and lifted the priest up. Then, with a sharp crack, the priest's head lolled to the side, and he was lifeless.

Since the appearance of the demon god, more than a dozen people have died at his hands in a short period of time. The surviving righteous disciples are all terrified and have begun to scream and flee in all directions.

How could the demons allow so many righteous disciples to escape? They grinned and charged forward, killing those righteous disciples who had no will to fight and only wanted to flee.

After watching for a while, Liuli turned to the divine beast boy behind her and said, "Go, kill all these righteous people."

The group of divine beast youths responded in unison and rushed out to meet the righteous disciples who were fleeing in this direction in a panic.

Thus, under the combined efforts of a demon spirit, a dozen demons, and over a hundred divine beast youths, only a handful of the more than one hundred righteous disciples managed to escape, while the rest were all killed.

The demon god pulled a phantom longsword, formed in his hand, from the heart of a righteous disciple, drawing a gush of blood. He looked around but couldn't find a single righteous disciple. Then, he looked puzzledly at the hundred or so divine beasts, including Liuli.

One of the demons noticed the demon god's confusion and quickly called out, "Demon God, these divine beasts are allies of our demon race!"

"An alliance?" the demon god muttered, fixing his gaze on Liuli and pausing for a moment.

He walked up to Liuli, looked down at her carefully, and asked in confusion, "You are... a nine-tailed fox, right? How can a nine-tailed fox also cultivate my demon race's techniques? Strange, really strange..."

This demon was enormous, more than two heads taller than Liuli. Liuli looked up at him with her small face expressionless and silent.

"Oh, it's a soul-summoning ritual." A look of realization appeared on the demon god's face. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Do people really use soul-summoning rituals to save people? Why bother? Wouldn't both the rescuer and the rescued suffer? Sigh..."

He sighed deeply, bypassed the glass, and flew away at an extremely fast speed into the distance.
