Unlock the Seal
Once Jiufang Mingyuan defeats the Snake Queen and takes control of the situation, he will soon discover the true intentions of the demon clan, and it will only take a blink of an eye for them to reach Jiming.
The black cat transformed into a humanoid form, caught up with the poisonous scorpion, and grabbed him by the back of the collar. After a few flashes, the two of them appeared at the entrance of the Jiming Sealing Array Cave.
After the scorpion stood firm, he glared at the cat demon with suspicion, "Who are you?"
She can travel thousands of miles in a short time, which is not something that ordinary monsters can do, but she has never heard of any cat monster whose skills are better than hers. Who is she?
The cat demon ignored him completely and stretched out his hand to press on the stone door of the cave.
Just like the high priest did before, the stone door opened smoothly and the cat demon jumped in. The poisonous scorpion followed closely behind, but she was no longer visible.
"Hmph, you want to take all the credit?" The scorpion followed the scent, its poisonous stinger ready to strike, its voice as ghostly as a ghost. "You must have forgotten that I have the key. Without it, no matter how fast you run, it's useless."
The cat demon didn't hesitate at all, rushing into the bottom of the cave at top speed. As soon as she stood beside the seal formation, the poisonous scorpion followed closely.
Seeing her, the poisonous scorpion couldn't wait to swing its tail and stab her fiercely.
Now that the key and the formation have been found, there is no point in keeping the cat demon. It is better to kill her directly to prevent her from stealing the credit from Lady Snake.
Unexpectedly, a flash of cold light appeared within the cave. As the stinger pierced her skin, a dagger suddenly appeared in the cat demon's hand. Without even turning back, she swung her hand with a decisive movement, severing half of the scorpion's tail.
I don’t know what the dagger is made of, but it can easily cut off his extremely hard tail.
"ah!"
The scorpion's sneak attack was successful, but its proud weapon was cut off. It was in pain and angry, "You cat demon, you dare to cut off my scorpion tail? I must kill you today."
Filled with rage, he completely forgot why he came here and was only determined to kill the cat demon. The two of them started fighting in the cave.
The dagger collided with the scorpion's claws, making a crisp sound of "ping-pong-pong".
Having been poisoned by the Snake Queen earlier, Jiufang Mingyuan sealed her heart meridians, and Yi Wu could not use her magic power at will, so she was forced back step by step by the vicious poisonous scorpion, and had many wounds of varying sizes on her body.
The scorpion venom spread, and her back hit the wall again. Yi Wu groaned in pain. She raised her foot and kicked the scorpion away. "Idiot, stop it!"
However, the poisonous scorpion could not hear anything and attacked again fiercely without stopping.
Gravel fell from the top of the cave and hit the black dragon in the formation. He growled impatiently.
From the moment the stone door opened, the black dragon quietly opened its eyes, waiting to see who the visitor was. Unexpectedly, it was a demon, and the two started fighting as soon as they met.
"Little thing, this is not the place for you to fight."
The black dragon glanced lazily at the two of them, then lay back on the ground, saying in a cold tone, "Get out of here now, or I'll eat you."
It was not until it made a sound that the scorpion realized there was such a huge creature in the cave. It immediately jumped back three steps and looked around carefully.
When the Poison Scorpion saw that although the black dragon was huge, it was firmly tied up with chains, he felt relieved.
"Who did you think you were?" He raised his chin and began to speak arrogantly. "You are just a beast guarding the formation. What's so arrogant about you? Once I kill the cat demon and break the seal, I will capture you and bring you back to present to Lady Snake."
Upon hearing that the seal had been broken, the black dragon suddenly raised its head, narrowing its eyes as it examined the scorpion. After a moment, it calmed down and asked, "Just you?"
These two little demons had no idea how to break into the cave. Even if they knew about the seal, they probably didn't even know what the key was or where it was, let alone how to unlock the seal. They must have been talking nonsense.
While they were talking, the cat demon stood silently by, as if in a trance.
A sudden scream rang out from the Golden Cicada, followed by a heavy object crashing to the ground. It seemed the Snake Queen had been defeated by Jiufang Mingyuan. The forbidden fire would soon be extinguished. What if Jiufang Mingyuan returned to the Silent Jade Palace to see her?
Yi Wu came to her senses and saw Duxie proudly showing off the fake black wooden box to Hei Jiao.
If she continues to waste time, Yi Wu might not be able to return before being discovered by Jiufang Mingyuan. Now that things have come to this, she can no longer care about anything else.
Yi Wu broke through the seal of her heart meridian and flicked her fingertips, sending out a jet of inky black demonic energy. The demonic energy spread silently, crawling up the scorpion's ankles.
"What is that?" Poison Scorpion noticed something was wrong and looked down. He was horrified to find that his feet were covered in demonic energy. "Demonic energy? How could there be demonic energy?"
Before he could comprehend what was happening, a gnawing pain shot through his bones. In a moment, the scorpion's legs vanished, and the demonic energy continued to devour upwards.
Losing his support, he fell to the ground, using his elbows to support himself and retreating in panic, but it was completely useless. The scorpion was terrified and slurred his words, "What the hell is this thing? Help... Help... Help..."
He never had the chance to say the rest, and in just a moment, the poisonous scorpion was completely devoured by the magic-killing magic.
The black wooden box fell to the ground, and the lid cracked, revealing what was inside.
After forcibly using her magic power, the snake venom penetrated her heart, turning her lips black and her complexion rapidly pale. Furthermore, she felt a prickling pain all over her body, and her mind began to blur. She only managed to hold on and not collapse.
This kind of strange magic was the first time that the Black Dragon had seen it, and he looked at the cat demon with fear.
"You are not a demon."
He said with certainty, and after sniffing carefully, he finally recognized her and was greatly surprised. "You are the little thing that secretly followed Jiufang Mingyuan in last time. You are still alive. Jiufang Mingyuan didn't kill you?"
Such an impossible thing actually happened. Black Jiao was shocked and delighted, laughing up to the sky, "I never thought that I would actually be free one day."
Yi Wu had no time to pay attention to it. The sound of fighting was no longer heard in the sound transmitted by the golden cicada in her ears, and she could vaguely hear Jiufang Mingyuan talking.
"I asked you to put out the fire, but you couldn't hear me?"
He had just tried to extinguish the flames with his powerful magic, but unexpectedly the demon fire burned even more fiercely. It seemed that only the demon clan could extinguish it.
"Don't even think about it!" Snake Princess was trampled under Jiufang Mingyuan's feet, only half dead, but her mouth was still vicious, "I will also let you taste what it feels like to lose a loved one."
Jiufang Mingyuan didn't get angry. He simply ordered his men to tie her up. With a wave of his hand, he placed the Demon King's own sister on the flames and roasted her. He threatened, "Since that's the case, I will let you demons be buried with my uncle."
He has plenty of means and is not afraid that Snake Queen will not surrender.
The situation at Cloud Peak was tense, leaving Yiwu with little time. Not wanting to waste even a moment, she controlled her breathing to suppress the poison and retrieved the real black wooden box.
Opening the lid, Yi Wu raised her fingertips and tried to use her magic to extract the heart's blood from the crystal stone, but she was unable to do so. Thinking of the letter, she whispered the formula: "With my blood, I seal the immortals; the demons of the underworld, obey my command."
As she finished speaking, a drop of blood dangled from the crystal stone, hovering before Yi Wu's eyes. She tried to control it with her magic again, and it flew straight towards the center of the formation.
When the blood of Demon Lord Jiufang Jie's heart hung in the center of the magic circle, a dazzling red light illuminated the entire cave. The black dragon's eyes gleamed brightly, and he stared up with anticipation.
Yi Wu felt a little strange, but she didn't have time to ponder it. She threw the box away. Recalling Jiufang Mingyuan's gestures, she formed seals with her hands and activated the magic circle.
Magical power continued to pour in, but the magic circle remained silent. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Golden Cicada, the Snake Princess could no longer resist and surrendered the pure water that extinguished the demonic fire.
Failure and death are getting closer to Yiwu.
The situation was urgent, and Yi Wu had to forcibly refine the vast demonic energy in her body to drive the magic circle with more powerful magic power.
The old wounds had not yet healed and new ones were added. Moreover, the snake venom and scorpion venom were extremely powerful. The refined demonic energy caused the toxins to invade her heart meridians. She clenched her teeth and her mind became more and more confused.
Finally, the intricate formation pattern beneath the black dragon began to rotate slowly, and as more magic power was injected, the speed gradually increased.
"It's moving!" The black dragon lowered its head happily, ready to rush out at any time.
One circle, two circles, three circles...
Something is wrong. The direction of the magic circle's rotation is the same as the last time it was reinforced. This is not the correct way to unlock the seal!
The black dragon also noticed that the chains covering its body were getting tighter, and its eyes immediately became dangerous, "Stop."
Yi Wu stopped, and the magic circle immediately dimmed. Her mind went blank for a moment, then after careful recollection, she said with certainty, "Jiufang Mingyuan definitely formed the seal like this. I can't be mistaken. Could it be that something else is missing?"
"That's the hand gesture he's using to reinforce the seal," the Black Dragon pointed out the problem, and suggested, "Try reversing the hand gesture."
Nodding, Yiwu reversed her hand gesture and formed the seal again.
As magic power was injected, the magic circle glowed with a pale green light. The chains binding the black dragon gradually loosened and faded, allowing it to stretch its body.
The more magic power is injected, the brighter and more dazzling the magic circle becomes.
At the same time, above the dark land beside the high mountains, the light red sealing shield slowly flickered and began to become thinner and weaker, and the earth trembled slightly.
The immortal soldier on duty noticed something unusual and hurried back to report it.
"Your Majesty, there's something wrong with the seal! Your Majesty..."
More and more immortals noticed the strange phenomenon and looked up. Sure enough, they saw that the seal that had covered them for hundreds of years was showing signs of disappearing, and the scene outside the seal could be vaguely seen.
It has been sealed here until now. They have tried all methods but have never been able to open the seal. It is surprising that it loosened by itself at this time.
The immortals gathered together, discussing the matter, their faces filled with joy. Only the Wind God had a solemn expression and immediately went to find the Heavenly Lord.
When he arrived at the main hall, the Heavenly Sovereign had just dismissed the immortal soldiers who had reported the news and ordered, "Order the God of War to immediately assemble the immortal soldiers and prepare for battle."
Once the seal is lifted, they will fight their way back to the Cloud Summit, catch the demons off guard, and take back the Cloud Summit.
"Yes!" The immortal soldier was in high spirits and left quickly to look for the God of War.
The Wind God watched him go away, then turned around and saluted the Heavenly Lord, "Greetings, Heavenly Lord."
His intentions in coming to pay a visit at this time were obvious.
Others didn't know, but the Heavenly Monarch knew best. The Immortal Clan hadn't yet made any progress in opening the seal, and now that it could be opened from the outside, it must be Guiyun's work.
They have waited for this day for far too long, but their motives are different. The Celestial Monarch wishes to break the seal, lead the immortals back to the summit of the clouds, and protect the world; the Wind God also wishes to break the seal, but he is more concerned about his child.
Before he could speak, the Heavenly Lord knew what he was thinking and said, "I know what you want to say."
