Time flies.
After several hours, the strange darkness that enveloped the entire world began to recede like the tide.
When the darkness completely disappeared, the blood moon hanging in the sky finally disappeared.
It seems that its existence is to monitor the night and restrict the night.
As the sun shone on the Yuanjiao secret realm again, the number of demons and ghosts rushing to the foot of Yushan Mountain increased significantly.
There are many more monsters and ghosts than before the White Bone Demon Lord launched the attack.
The Demon Lord He Yu was very satisfied with this.
The demon ghost that was in charge of chasing down the fleeing cultivators had not sent back any results. All it kept saying was "almost caught up" and "already close", etc., which slightly affected its happy mood.
After contacting the pursuit team again, there was still no good news. Demon Lord He Yu snorted in dissatisfaction: "They are just a few fish that slipped through the net. We chased them all night and still couldn't catch them. They are really useless! I really don't know how Demon Lord Bai Gu taught his subordinates in the first place."
In his heart, Demon Lord He Yu had already sentenced the group of demons in the pursuit team to death.
"Send more manpower and make sure to catch the fish that escaped the net!" Demon Lord Heyu turned his head and instructed a big demon beside him.
Then it walked out of the command post, staring at the temple in the distance that looked even more desolate and dilapidated under the morning sun, and ordered fiercely: "All troops, charge! The attack cannot stop without my order. Otherwise, what happened to those demons last night will be your fate!"
The voice of Demon Lord He Yu was not loud, but it reached the ears of every demon and ghost clearly, making them shiver in unison.
No demon dares to ignore the orders of the Demon Lord Heyu, and no demon dares not to be afraid of its threats.
At one time, the voices of the various demon lords rang out:
"Charge! Charge with all your forces!"
"The firepower of the cultivators is very strong. Those with thick skin and armor should rush to the front and resist the firepower!"
"The rear team must also be guarded by a powerful demon. The cultivator's special magic weapon can directly hit the rear defense team. A powerful demon must be provided to hold up the shield, otherwise there will be heavy casualties!"
"When you are 500 meters outside the temple, you must stop. If you go any further, there is a magic array set up by a cultivator. It is extremely poisonous and must be broken before you can continue forward!"
The new demon lord didn't understand the situation well enough, but after staying here for a night and personally experiencing and witnessing two battles, he knew the powerful methods of the cultivators and hurriedly shouted to make tactical arrangements.
Soon, demons and ghosts from all directions, led by their respective demon lords, formed into lines and swarmed towards the temple in the center like a raging tide of insects.
Demon Lord Heyu nodded with satisfaction.
It turned its head and said to a trusted demon lord beside it, "You follow them too. Be careful not to kill too many cultivators. We still have to rely on them to open the door... As for the demons and ghosts, we can kill more of them."
"Yes." The trusted demon lord didn't say much. After bowing and accepting the order, he used the earth escape technique, drilled into the ground and disappeared.
Demon Lord He Yu turned his gaze back to the demons and ghosts that were charging forward, and a crazy smile appeared on his chubby face.
Although it didn't say a word, in its heart, it was shouting in a nearly hysterical state: "Come on! Let the battle be more intense! Let the casualties be greater!"
The charging demon was very fast and in the blink of an eye it had already rushed into the cultivator's attack range.
The experienced demons and ghosts shouted loudly, reminding the new demons and ghosts to be careful. Even though the cultivators in the temple had not launched an attack, they did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, last night, the cultivators in the temple had played a tactical game, releasing the demons and ghosts to the edge of the magic circle before opening fire, causing great damage and chaos.
Therefore, the demons and ghosts suspected that the cultivators in the temple wanted to use the same old tricks again!
Several of the most powerful demigod-level demon lords were elected as commanders in different attack directions.
After listening to the advice of experienced demons and ghosts, they immediately made corresponding arrangements to guard against tactical attacks from the cultivators.
However, until the demons rushed to the edge of the magic circle, the temple was still deserted and there was no reaction.
Even when the demigod-level demon began to break the formation, the cultivators in the temple still did not open fire to stop it.
Such a strange scene not only failed to put the demons at ease, but made them even more nervous and uneasy.
They couldn't figure out what the cultivators were trying to do. The quieter the temple was, the more uncertain and uneasy they felt.
With the joint efforts of several demigod-level demon lords, the magic circle surrounding the temple was quickly broken.
Even at this time, the cultivators in the temple still did not react.
This made the demons and ghosts wonder if something had happened in the temple.
Some demons and ghosts tried to release magic towards the temple, but they were blocked by the barrier of the temple itself and were unable to find out what was going on.
"Just rush in and you'll find out! Follow me!"
A demigod-level demon lord raised his arms and shouted, leading his demons to launch a new charge towards the temple.
The other demon lords were not willing to be outdone. The cultivators in the temple did not launch an attack at this time, which might be due to an accident.
Then, the team that rushes in first will be credited with merit, no matter what they discover.
They don't want to miss it.
In the distance, in the command post.
When Demon Lord Heyu saw this scene, his chubby round face suddenly turned gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
It couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't the cultivators in the temple attack? Is there no one in the temple?"
A powerful and surging divine thought surged out from its body and scanned the temple in an instant.
So its brows furrowed even more tightly.
"That's not right. There is clearly life in the temple, and there are a lot of them. This means that the cultivators are still inside. But why don't they take action? What are they waiting for?"
Just as Demon Lord He Yu was guessing, suddenly, a cry of surprise and agony was heard from the charging group of demons and ghosts in the distance.
Many of the demons and ghosts charging forward were poisoned, their bodies rapidly decayed, and they fell into a state of madness, attacking their companions.
"There's an ambush! Retreat, retreat!"
"These demons are poisoned! The poison is contagious! They are beyond help, kill them! Kill them!"
The demons and ghosts were suddenly in chaos. Their poisoned companions were so terrifying that they had to kill them.
The well-informed demon lords shouted:
"It's a chain of hidden magic circles! Before, when other magic circles were still in this area, it was in a sealed state and hidden. When the other magic circles were broken, it was activated!"
"Those who are not poisoned, retreat quickly. We will charge again after we have cracked this magic circle again!"
When Demon Lord Heyu saw this scene, his expression became even more weird and ugly, and his tone became impatient: "Something is wrong, this situation is really wrong!"
According to common sense, it is impossible for the cultivators in the temple to sit back and watch the demons and ghosts cause chaos without taking action.
In the two previous night battles, the cultivators deliberately used tactics to cause chaos in the demon army, and then took advantage of the chaos to launch a wave of firepower to cover them, so as to achieve the greatest results.
But now, the demon and ghost team has been in chaos because of the chain hidden magic array, but the cultivators in the temple are still sitting still.
This situation doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it.
Demon Lord Heyu couldn't bear it any longer, so he leaped and was outside the magic circle in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, its trusted demon lords hurriedly followed.
When they arrived outside the magic circle, Demon Lord Heyu immediately released his demonic power, trying to forcibly break the chain of hidden magic circles that Sumu had built here.
Seeing this, the several great demon lords that followed it did not dare to delay and released their demonic energy with all their strength and bombarded the magic circle.
“Boom boom—”
There was a muffled sound, accompanied by the shaking of the ground. The chain of hidden magic circles constructed by Su Mu using poison as raw material was broken by the Demon Lord He Yu and his trusted subordinates.
Seeing this, the surrounding demons immediately flattered him:
"Thank you, Demon Lord Heyu!"
"The Heyu Demon Lord is mighty!"
The Heyu Demon Lord ignored the flattery of these demons. He broke the formation not to help these demons, but to see what was going on in the temple.
So as soon as the chain of hidden magic circles was broken, the Demon Lord Heyu immediately rushed towards the temple.
It has taken the lead in the charge, so how dare other demons hesitate? They hurried to follow.
This time they did not encounter any magic arrays or traps. The demons and ghosts followed the demon lord He Yu and rushed into the temple smoothly.
Looking at the group of 'cultivators' in the temple, these demons and ghosts howled and pounced on them, wanting to show off in front of the Demon Lord He Yu.
However, the next second, they "passed through" the cultivator's body and fell to the ground.
There was an unlucky demon who was pinned down by his companions after falling to the ground, instantly completing the "Achievement of Stacking Meat Pads".
"What happened? Why did I penetrate through the bodies of these cultivators?"
"Aren't they living people? Are they all wandering souls?"
"No, these...these are illusions!"
"The cultivators in the temple have all run away long ago. We were deceived by the illusion they created!"
After a brief moment of shock, the demons and ghosts suddenly realized what was going on.
The Demon Lord He Yu stood in front of a pile of glass dishes, his face ashen and filled with anger.
"I was cheated! I was cheated!"
"The cultivators who slipped away last night were not just a few who slipped through the net, but all of them! They all slipped away! They used these weird things and their illusions to deceive my demonic mind detection!"
"I've never been deceived like this before!"
An extremely cold aura was released from the body of Demon Lord He Yu, suppressing all the demons and ghosts in the temple, causing them to shut their mouths and dare not say a word.
The atmosphere became very heavy and depressing.
"Demon Lord, calm down. We will go and catch the cultivator who escaped!"
A trusted great demon lord cautiously came to the side of the Heyu demon lord and spoke respectfully.
Before the demon leader He Yu could express his opinion, the demons and ghosts heard a slight "click" sound coming from the temple.
Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion comparable to a rune cannon bomb washing the ground appeared with the temple as the center!
