Its massive body followed behind Ji Jiuying and the others.

Before the demons arrived, Gong Mingyue set up a killing formation in the mountains, using himself as the core of the formation. The killing power surged towards the demons, but the demons were completely unfazed and released even more powerful demonic energy.

Ji Jiuying frowned: "A-Yue, you..."

"Jiu'er, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Nevertheless, Ji Jiuying couldn't help but worry. With herself as the core of the formation, if anything went wrong, she would at least be seriously injured, or worse, disappear along with the formation and vanish into nothingness. An ordinary formation master wouldn't take such a risk unless it was absolutely necessary.

Even Feng Luo and Feng Yan were surprised for a moment. If it weren't for her, that person wouldn't have gone to such lengths. It seems that if they want to capture Ji Jiuying in the future, the Nine Heavens Divine Palace will be their biggest obstacle.

"You brat, watch out for this ugly thing. I have a feeling that the first person it wants to kill right now is you." Hei Xiangling flashed to Ji Jiuying's side.

"Be confident, and let go of your feelings."

Ji Jiuying stared into those blood-red eyes, which seemed to want to devour her.

The demon launched another fierce attack on the group. The killing formation seemed to have no effect on the demon at all. The group was secretly shocked. Even someone as powerful as Gong Mingyue could not harm it in the slightest. How powerful and terrifying must this demon be?

Compared to that world-destroying demonic wolf from back then, it's nothing at all.

The sound of the zither seemed to come from near and far, and the demonic energy transformed into sharp blades that swept towards everyone. Ji Jiuying gathered her spiritual power into the Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan and swung it fiercely. Two fire dragons, transformed from the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, rushed towards the demons, and the originally dark sky was instantly ignited with flames.

A compass appeared in Gong Mingyue's palm. The originally unremarkable killing formation was now stained with red blood mist. The blood mist had a sinister and terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Xiao Huang'er clasped her hands together and placed them between her eyebrows. She quickly opened them, and the dazzling light stung the demon's bloodshot eyes. A phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared behind her. With a low roar, the Vermilion Bird swooped down with flames, and the demonic energy in the sky instantly dissipated.

Lingxiao soared through the sky, absorbing the power of lightning and transforming it into his own strength, then slashed at the demons.

Two horns appeared on Dongfang Yao's forehead, and azure light shot from his eyes. He slowly opened his hands, as if welcoming something. Suddenly, a heart-stirring dragon roar came from the void, followed by a gigantic azure dragon rising from his palms. The azure dragon was agile, its scales shimmering with a mysterious light. It opened its mouth and let out a furious roar that shook the heavens.

Dongfang Yao's expression was focused and majestic. He seemed to be one with the Azure Dragon, and the powerful dragon's roar annihilated the surrounding demonic energy.

The bells on Hei Xiangling's ankles rang out a clear melody, and a captivating smile graced her face. The sound of the bells, accompanied by the sound of the waves, grew louder as a colossal creature slowly swam towards them, unleashing a powerful force upon the demon.

Feng Luo and Feng Yan were speechless with emotion upon seeing this. Ji Jiuying's trump cards had all been revealed to them at this moment. Feng Luo couldn't help but wonder whether angering her would be good or bad for the Feng family.

Now he even had a strange feeling that, knowing so much, he and Feng Yan might not even be alive to return to the Feng family. If she wanted to, they certainly wouldn't be.

But now is not the time to think about these issues. Since we're here to help, we can't hide anything from each other.

The two also summoned their own spirit beasts, revealing their biggest trump cards.

The group surrounded the monster, ready to fight at any moment. However, the monster, having been dormant for centuries, still didn't take them seriously; it was unlikely to be easily defeated.

Several figures crisscrossed like lightning, each collision of their forces generating a deafening roar that echoed through the sky. The sounds of "bang bang bang" were incessant, like a symphony between heaven and earth.

Multicolored light flashed between them, bursting forth like dazzling fireworks, illuminating the entire earth. As their fierce battle raged, the earth began to tremble violently, as if cheering on this breathtaking fight. Dust billowed, forming rolling sandstorms that swept outwards. The surrounding demonic energy was also distorted by this light and power, displaying a spectacular sight.

At this moment, the intermittent zither music, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, became somewhat broken. Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue exchanged a glance, realizing that Si Yu had already found Qingling and had already engaged with her.

The Kingdom of Cangyue.

The wails continued, and corpses and half-dead people were scattered everywhere. More and more people were being corrupted by demonic energy, and the air was filled with the aura of death. The number of people surrounding the palace's barrier was also increasing.

The Wen family's situation isn't much better right now; they're relying entirely on a protective barrier.

"Grandpa, Dad, Sister, I can't hold on much longer..."

Wen Longting said through gritted teeth.

"Ah Xiu, Ting'er, you two go to the secret room with your mother and the others first."

"Father, Grandpa, I can't leave you here." Wen Longxiu's pale face was full of stubbornness.

"Xiuer, listen to me, it will be too late if we don't leave now."

As Wen Zhao finished speaking, hundreds of dark figures appeared outside the Wen family compound in a flash. Wen Longting's eyes flickered slightly; they were people from the Heavenly Fiend Sect, her brother's former subordinates...

The man in black continuously fought against the endless stream of black mist outside the barrier, greatly reducing the burden on the barrier. However, seeing people falling one after another, he knew this was not a long-term solution.

As time went by, the veins on Wen Yan's forehead bulged, and his spiritual energy began to deplete. With a crisp cracking sound, everyone's hearts sank.

"Dad, you take Xiaoting and the others and leave first. I'll be there soon."

Wen Longxiu frowned: "Father, I'm not leaving."

"I'm not leaving either."

"Hurry up and leave. Are you not listening to your father anymore?" Wen Yan said sternly.

Seeing this, Wen Zhao pulled Wen Yan back, saying, "Yan'er, the children need you. I'll stay here and hold them off. You two go first."

Just as Wen Yan was about to say something, *crack*—more patterns appeared on the barrier. Wen Zhao, his eyes red, said, "You're not listening to your father anymore? Hurry up, go! Go!"

With red eyes, Wen Yan pulled Wen Longxiu and Wen Longting and turned to leave.

Snap—

The barrier shattered completely, and Wen Zhao was also blasted aside by the power of the demonic energy, spitting out blood. Without the barrier's support, clumps of demonic energy surged up.

Despite the pain, Wen Zhao focused his spiritual fire and continuously swept it towards the demonic energy. Instead of reducing the demonic energy, his strength began to wane, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. A look of despair flashed across his eyes. Was this world really going to perish?

They should be inside the secret room by now...

Wen Zhao stopped struggling and let the demonic energy corrupt him. A burst of spiritual energy struck and dispelled the demonic energy around him.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Wen Zhao froze on the spot, his anger palpable.

"Ah Xiu, what are you doing back here!"
