The scene of fallen petals in the Injury Gate area, resembling a paradise, did not make Gu Jian take it lightly at all.

As a formation master, Gu Jian knew that the Injury Gate was the most dangerous area besides the Death Gate.

Don't be fooled by the pretty flowers and plants in the wound area; they are all highly poisonous.

Even supreme experts could perish if poisoned.

The Nine-Lives Fox Demon sniffed at the spot of the disgusting slime, then looked up in Gu Jian's direction, "Woo!"

It was speaking fox language.

But the connection between their souls allowed Gu Jian to understand its meaning.

"You mean, this disgusting slime comes from the Lord of the Forbidden Land. You saw it before; it was the strongest subordinate of the Chaos Saint Demon? Stronger than the three-headed lion demon we encountered in the Jing Gate?"

"Waaah!"

The Nine-Lives Fox Demon nodded again and told Gu Jian that Ye Chen's aura was present here.

Gu Jian nodded slightly upon hearing this, imagining Ye Chen subduing the so-called Lord of the Forbidden Land.

Then, he slowly said, "It seems that the so-called Lord of the Forbidden Land has also been subdued by Ye Chen."

"However, I was surprised that Ye Chen didn't send the Lord of the Forbidden Land to deal with me."

Upon hearing this, Flower Demon Leader Peony said, "He probably knows that even the Lord of the Forbidden Land is no match for the Nine-Lives Fox Demon. Now, he wants to subdue the Chaos Saint Demon as soon as possible."

"I wonder if this guy has the ability to open the sacred monument, or if he can subdue the holy demon. It is said that..."

"What do you say?"

Gu Jian asked.

Hua Mudan said, "It is said that the Chaos Saint Demon was once a beautiful human woman. Because her younger sister was kidnapped, she searched everywhere and eventually found that her sister had been killed by people from the righteous sects. Her bone marrow was extracted and her body was dumped in a mass grave."

"Upon learning the news, the human woman transformed into a demon. Her goal was to destroy all the righteous sects in the world. After destroying countless sects, she was finally suppressed by the powerful figures of the Cloud Soaring Sacred Sect and sealed within the Vast Sacred Stele..."

Gu Jian was surprised and asked, "How do you know all this?"

Peony smiled and said, "Her Majesty the Empress told me that she enjoys reading some of your human history and biographies. She found it in those biographies."

Gu Jian smiled and said, "I see. Your Majesty is indeed eager to learn."

"good."

The peony nodded.

However, her expression soon became serious and earnest.

"I have a feeling that a great battle is about to begin. I wonder if Ye Chen has the means to break the Holy Stele and subdue the Chaos Holy Demon."

"Strategist, we must get there quickly. If we are even a step too late, we may be in big trouble."

"Walk!"

They were led by the Sheep Demon Grand Tutor.

Gu Jian led his team through the Injury Gate area without any major incidents.

Finally, in the corner of the wound area, a cone-shaped energy was seen.

At a glance, hundreds of array guards were gathered around the cone-shaped energy, their strength astonishing.

Each one has undergone at least seven cycles of reincarnation.

It's clear that Ye Chen is trying to delay him.

Without hesitation, Gu Jian ordered the Nine-Lives Fox Demon and the demon army to attack.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Jian had eliminated all the formation guards.

Then, following the method for entering the Gate of Injury, he activated the defensive barrier of the Demon Chariot and led the demon army into the cone-shaped energy field.

Buzz buzz buzz~

A sound of spatial fluctuations could be heard.

When Gu Jian could see his surroundings again, he found himself on the sea.

The sea is vast and magnificent.

For a fleeting moment, Gu Jian thought he had arrived outside the great formation.

However, the aura of an array was clearly present in the surroundings.

This is still within the grand formation, at the very center of the Eight Gates Gui Water Holy Spirit Formation.

Gu Jian looked up.

Gu Jian saw a towering stone monument on the distant horizon.

This stone tablet is countless feet tall, standing upright on the sea.

At this moment, the stone tablet was emitting light, and there were figures surrounding it.

Because of the distance, Gu Jian could not see the people surrounding the stone tablet.

But even a fool could guess that it was Ye Chen and his people.

At that moment, Feng Yantong's melodious voice entered his mind.

"It's Ye Chen! He's holding an ancient talisman, and he's opening the sacred stele. We have to stop him right away."

The voice of the peony flower also rang out.

She looks almost exactly like Feng Yantong.

Her tone still carried a hint of anxiety.

Gu Jian nodded and immediately ordered the demon army to head towards the Holy Monument.

But just then...

Columns of water shot into the sky from the sea.

At the same time.

A water dragon appeared out of thin air.

The water dragon was a hundred feet tall, looking down at Gu Jian and his group. Its eyes looked extremely evil. "Roar, this road is blocked."

Peony's brows furrowed, sensing a powerful aura emanating from it, and she coldly said, "What are you?"

The water dragon sneered, "I am the Ren Water Demon Dragon, a demon general under the command of the Chaos Saint Demon Lord!"

Hua Mudan was surprised, then laughed and said, "A mere demon general dares to obstruct this commander."

"Even that braised lion is dead. If you try to stop us, you're doomed."

"And what about me, the Demon Lord?"

A chilling laugh rang out.

As a gust of bloody wind blew by, a demonic figure, alternating between red and black, appeared out of thin air.

This demonic shadow was two hundred feet tall, with a head like a dragon, four claws and two legs, and a pair of evil dark red wings behind it.

Its aura had also reached the Nirvana Realm.

Upon seeing this demonic figure, the demon army's expressions immediately turned solemn.

Every member of the demon army felt a terrifying pressure.

Gu Jian's gaze was icy.
