The hunchbacked old man, seeing this scene from within the barrier, was horrified. How could the situation have changed so drastically in just a few dozen breaths?
Who exactly are these little brats? No, that's not the point. The point is, damn it, these guys are cultivators! How did cultivators manage to sneak in?
After experiencing an initial shock, Ye Shubai finally found the flaw in the barrier in front of him. He gritted his teeth and, while his Boundary-Breaking Brush flew and pointed, his other hand continuously produced various array patterns. In fact, he was very puzzled as to why the demon race had such a complex barrier.
This Holy Demon Palace not only has a very high-level protective array, but even the barrier outside an altar is not something that ordinary array masters can set up. What he finds most puzzling is that these array patterns are extremely similar to those in the cultivation world. Apart from the different power that drives the array, there is not much difference.
Duanmu Zi didn't even have a teleportation artifact back then. Logically speaking, given her high status, it would have been perfectly normal for her to have something like a teleportation array to save her life. But she said that there were only a few teleportation artifacts in the entire Demon Realm.
He originally thought that the Demon Realm's array formation level was too poor, or that array masters and teleportation artifacts were so rare, but clearly the array formation of the Holy Demon Palace is very exquisite!
These thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment; rescuing Ouyang Yanyu was the priority right now.
The commotion here was too great, and the pressure of the heavenly tribulation lingered for a long time. Not only did the high-ranking members of the Holy Demon Palace feel a jolt in their hearts, but even the people from the major families outside the Holy Demon Palace sensed the aura of the heavenly tribulation.
Their demon race doesn't experience heavenly tribulations during cultivation, so it's strange that the aura of a heavenly tribulation appeared in the Holy Demon Palace. Even the two Nascent Soul Ancestors who were in seclusion opened their eyes at the same time and rushed towards the forbidden area.
Su Jiuli and Lin Shuangluo were quick to kill, while Ye Sisi and Bai Luochen bombarded them even faster, and the open space in front of the altar had been almost completely cleared by them.
Seeing that Ye Shubai had opened the barrier, Lin Shuang landed and used her light footwork, her longsword crackling with lightning as she charged straight toward the hunchbacked old man.
Su Jiuli and Ye Shubai, whose faces were pale, also charged straight at the hunchbacked old man. The three of them exuded a fierce aura, and their sharp sword intent was like the rising sun breaking through the dark clouds, about to tear apart the dark sky above the Demon Realm!
Seeing that things were not going well, the hunchbacked old man grabbed the unconscious Ouyang Yanyu before Ye Shubai could open the barrier. At this moment, he also recognized that these little brats were Ouyang Yanyu's fellow disciples in the cultivation world.
He never expected that this group of cultivators would break into the forbidden area silently and kill so many elders and core disciples. Their sacrificial ceremony was not yet completed, the Chaos Blood Pill was not yet refined, and the Chaos Yuan Qi had not yet been extracted. Were the people left outside just sitting around doing nothing?
Bai Luochen continued to bombard the demons who were still trying to rush towards them with rockets, while Ye Sisi quietly disappeared while her senior brothers drew the fire.
"If you come any closer, I'll kill him right now!"
The old man's voice was ruthless. A short dagger covered with strange runes was held against Ouyang Yanyu's fair neck, and a little bit of crimson blood oozed out, causing the three men who were rushing over to freeze in their tracks.
Su Jiuli gritted her teeth and said, "If you dare to hurt her, we will slaughter your Holy Demon Palace today!"
The old man sneered disdainfully. He had just been frightened by the sudden change, but as long as he could delay long enough, either of the two patriarchs could easily kill this group of cultivators. No, he didn't want them to die so quickly; he wanted to refine all of these ignorant cultivators into blood pills!
"If you don't want her to die, lay down your weapons and retreat a hundred paces, otherwise..."
After saying that, he thrust the dagger he had been holding in front of Ouyang Yanyu's neck a few more inches deeper.
The three of them said in unison, "No!"
The old man's lips curled into a smug smile. Seeing that the three of them had actually put down their swords and retreated, he was about to speak when he suddenly felt a pain in his back. A domineering sword aura swept over his entire body, and the pain made him subconsciously loosen his grip. What followed was the fear of death.
Just as Ouyang Yanyu's body went limp, Ye Sisi appeared, holding a sharp longsword imbued with sword intent in her hand.
In her hand was a longsword formed from the sword talisman given to her by Meng Tianyuan. It could kill anyone below the Nascent Soul stage with a single strike. In order to kill that old man in one blow, she used all the sword talismans she had used to save her life.
The long sword slowly dissipated, and Ye Sisi hugged Ouyang Yanyu tightly.
At this moment, Ouyang Yanyu's face was deathly pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and her lips had completely lost their color. The red lotus between her brows flickered, appearing somewhat eerie.
Ye Sisi was about to use her spiritual power to check Ouyang Yanyu's body, but as soon as she touched her wrist, she found that Ouyang Yanyu's fair wrist was covered with black curse marks. The curse marks snaked upwards and could not be seen to the end. Although she did not know what these strange curse marks were, she was sure they were not good things.
Su Jiuli and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that people had come out, and hurriedly ran over to check on Ouyang Yanyu's condition.
Ye Sisi didn't care what those runes were anymore. She wanted to check on Ouyang Yanyu's condition first. To her surprise, her spiritual power was bounced back. It wasn't bounced back by the spiritual power or demonic energy in Ouyang Yanyu's body, but by those incomprehensible runes!
"Junior Sister, how is Second Junior Sister?"
Just as Ye Sisi was about to reply, she sensed two dangerous auras approaching them. Su Jiuli and the others also sensed it.
So they could only take Ouyang Yanyu into Little Fatty's space first, and then the two Nascent Soul cultivators arrived.
After Bai Luochen finished clearing out the remaining demonic cultivators, he also came to the group's side. The five of them looked up together in the direction of the entrance to the forbidden area.
Su Jiuli smirked: "Third Junior Brother, one for each of you, dare you?"
Lin Shuanglu nodded intently: "They're just two Nascent Soul cultivators, let's just do it!"
