Locked Demon City is located in the center of this desolate outer battlefield.
The city covers an extremely vast area, and the towering city walls emit a dark red aura, seemingly caused by the blood of those alien races that once stained the walls.
Qin Xin, along with Ni Huang and the Ni Hong siblings, stealthily made their way past the guards stationed around the city by the Mufu Domain and the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, and finally approached the city wall's boundary.
“Brother Qin Xin, there are some early warning formations set up along the city wall, and there are even more powerful formations inside. Once there is any external intervention, it will definitely be detected by the enemy.”
After arriving at the edge of the city wall, Ni Huang was very cautious and careful, worried that touching the formation would cause some trouble.
After all, compared to the strength of their opponents, the three of them were simply no match for them. Once they were surrounded, it would be difficult for them to escape.
"It's alright, you can go back first. I'll come back to find you after I've finished dealing with things here."
Qin Xin spoke confidently to Ni Huang, not asking them to accompany him into the Demon Locking City, since more people would make them a bigger target.
This will also increase the chances of being discovered.
Moreover, if Qin Xin were alone, with his late-stage Spirit Pattern Realm cultivation level, he could effectively conceal his aura. Even if discovered, he could quickly hide using the mysterious fragmented map space.
"Alright, but Brother Qin Xin, you must be careful. If the plan doesn't work, retreat quickly, and we can discuss it further then!"
After exchanging a glance with her sister Nihong, who also looked very similar, Nihuang said a few words to Qin Xin and then left in a hurry.
The situation in their southern border region is not very clear now. Some have been killed, some have escaped, and those remaining in this battlefield outside the region are only some who are seriously injured.
Moreover, in this extraterrestrial battlefield, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is chaotic, and martial artists are unable to refine it and convert it into usable Yuan Power in a short time. Therefore, it may take a considerable amount of time to recover from serious injuries.
During this period, their strength can be described as very weak. If someone with ulterior motives were to target them, the entire Southern Frontier Region could very well be eliminated.
This would force the Southern Frontier to send a large number of powerful warriors into the extraterritorial battlefield, which would significantly reduce the strength of the Southern Frontier.
Furthermore, the current Shogunate Domain and Star Sea Domain are already eyeing the Southern Frontier covetously. If its strength is greatly reduced, these two places will inevitably take action, and the Southern Frontier Domain may be destroyed as a result.
After Nihuang and Nihong left, Qin Xin immediately summoned Xiao Jin from the fragmented map space.
Xiao Feng immediately followed suit, flying out directly.
Seeing the two little creatures' abundant fur and wings, Qin Xin's face showed joy. He could sense that the two little creatures' strength had improved considerably.
If these two little guys were summoned during a battle, they would surely provide Qin Xin with even greater assistance.
"Alright, Xiao Jin, first open a passage through all the formations here for me, and be careful not to let other martial artists notice."
After Qin Xin gave the order, the king-shaped hair on Xiao Jin's head began to slowly gather energy as it shimmered.
"It's actually innate spatial power. No wonder Xiao Jin was able to break through these formations."
Since Qin Xin swallowed and absorbed the space stone with the spirit-devouring stone, he has been able to sense the existence of a trace of spatial power.
However, to utilize this spatial power, the martial artist must have a certain understanding of this power.
The ability of Xiao Jin to skillfully manipulate the spatial power within his body is something Qin Xin would likely struggle to achieve even after a considerable amount of time.
Just as Qin Xin was pondering how to master the power of space, the power of space on Xiao Jin's head had already been condensed.
The moment it came into contact with the surrounding array, a passage large enough for one person to enter was silently opened.
Qin Xin affectionately ruffled Xiao Jin's hair, but this action clearly aroused Xiao Feng's jealousy. After quickly taking off, Xiao Feng stood arrogantly on Qin Xin's shoulder, looking rather cute with her puffed-up cheeks.
"I wonder if this little phoenix is male or female. Perhaps we'll find out after it transforms into human form."
After Qin Xin comforted her, Xiao Feng finally agreed to return to the mysterious fragmented map space with Xiao Jin.
However, this gave Qin Xin a sense of anticipation. Ordinary demonic beasts can understand human speech when they reach the eighth or ninth level. Although they cannot transform into human form, demonic beasts at this stage are still very powerful.
Spirit beasts and divine beasts are different. They can hear human language from birth. However, the stronger a spirit beast or divine beast is and the purer its bloodline is, the more difficult it is for it to transform into human form.
However, spirit beasts and divine beasts have a much longer lifespan than humans. However, due to their extremely powerful beast bodies, it is very difficult for them to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. Once they complete their transformation, they can comprehend them just like humans.
In this way, their strength can grow rapidly. Although the human body is weak, it is the best in terms of understanding the laws. This is the main reason why many spirit beasts and divine beasts will do their best to transform into human form.
Following the passage opened by Xiao Jin, Qin Xin stepped inside and immediately felt a chill creeping over him.
Without any hesitation, Qin Xin slowly channeled his inner energy, and only as the Blue Rock Bone Fire circulated, did the chill completely dissipate.
Looking around, I noticed that the buildings here were just like those in other towns, somewhat dilapidated.
The only difference was that the sky above the Demon Locking City was shrouded in countless black currents.
This is somewhat similar to the scene when Qin Xin discovered the Blood Spirit Demon in the Demon Suppression City.
"Could there be a spatial rift here that leads to the demon realm?!"
For a moment, Qin Xin had a very bold guess in his mind.
However, if this spatial rift truly exists, then the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect and other forces in the Yunxi Domain will likely find it difficult to escape this calamity.
Qin Xin still felt some lingering fear regarding the demons' special methods.
If he were to get entangled with these guys again, Qin Xin wasn't sure he could escape from them once more.
However, Qin Xin was not afraid of these guys. When the Blood Spirit Demon tried to take over his body with the blood it spilled through the spatial rift, he was able to destroy it with the power of lightning within his body.
Therefore, Qin Xin was quite certain that this thunderous power would cause great harm to the demons.
Moreover, the Blood Spirit Demon kept calling itself the Chosen One, which made Qin Xin somewhat suspicious.
