The Queen Mother of the West shook her head helplessly.
After hearing what the Queen Mother of the West said, the light bulb swayed a few times and actually moved to the side of the gate. Wang Yao found that the plaque above the gate had two large seal characters, "否极" (Pi Ji, meaning "extreme adversity"), and thought to himself, "When things reach their worst, they turn for the better." Could it be that the Demon City of Execution has a gate called "泰来" (Tai Lai, meaning "come for the better")?
He was lost in thought when he suddenly heard the Queen Mother of the West's soft voice: "After Xia Geng makes a move against me, use your special magic on him."
"What? You...you want me to...draw the hatred of the Decapitated Demon Lord?" Wang Yao's legs almost went weak when he heard this. The price of being the commander of the reinforcements was too high. What was the difference between this and risking his life?
"You're not going to die anyway, so what are you pretending for?" The Queen Mother of the West's voice came again, but she just chuckled at the light bulb that had moved aside.
“As expected, those who know when to yield are the wise ones. Let’s go into the city and talk.” As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West turned to look at the group led by the God of Filling the Sea.
"You all stay here and guard this place. Don't let the demons behind us come and disturb us," the Queen Mother of the West instructed.
Upon hearing this, the Sea-Filling God's expression changed, and he was about to retort when the Queen Mother of the West suddenly glared at him. The old woman's glare was so fierce that it frightened the Sea-Filling God so much that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly swallowed back what he was about to say.
"Hehe, let's go!" After instructing the Lord of Filling the Sea, the Queen Mother of the West, with a thick skin, turned around and walked straight into the city with a smile on her face. She still held Wang Yao tightly with one hand. Wang Yao had no choice but to be dragged into the Decapitation Demon City by her.
Upon entering the city, one is greeted by a vast square, in which stands a statue of a demon. The statue is tall and broad, with bared teeth and claws, and looks extremely frightening. In front of the demon statue, on the ground, lies a square carpet with black and white interwoven patterns.
It was like an extra-large Go board in the final stages of a game, with all the Go pieces fixed on the board, and a triangular flag covered with strange patterns fluttering in the wind stuck in the center of the board at the tengen point.
Wang Yao sensed a faint, continuous surge of power emanating from the flag.
"I'll remove the array flags first, otherwise I won't feel comfortable letting those juniors outside come in." Upon seeing the array flags, the Queen Mother of the West immediately explained to the Demon Lord of Execution while pulling Wang Yao toward the chessboard.
The light bulb hung quietly to one side until the Queen Mother of the West stepped onto the chessboard. Suddenly, a rapid electrical sound rang out, and at the same time, the gates of the Execution Demon City made a rumbling sound, as if they were about to close.
Seeing that the city gate was about to close, the group of the Sea-Reclamation God who remained outside the city immediately became agitated. They clamored to rush into the city, but unexpectedly, the city gate suddenly burst into a blood-red light. The Sea-Reclamation God and his entourage were enveloped in the light and found themselves sinking into a quagmire, unable to move forward any further.
"Have you all forgotten what I just said? Get away from the city gate immediately and don't let the demons outside come back!" The Queen Mother of the West shouted sternly. The old woman stood on the chessboard, but with one hand she lifted Wang Yao high up, not letting him touch the chessboard at all.
After being angrily rebuked by the Queen Mother of the West, the people outside the city had no choice but to abandon their idea of charging into the city. At this time, the demons outside the city also began to engage in close combat with the reinforcements outside the city gate. Only then did they realize that the blood-red light emitted from the gate of the Decapitation Demon City actually had a great limiting effect.
Everyone seemed to be bound hand and foot, all their movements were greatly affected, even the bullets fired by the gods slowed down and became slow motion, making it extremely difficult to rescue their companions or break free from the area shrouded in blood-red light.
The demons outside the city had an absolute numerical advantage over the reinforcements who were not shrouded in the crimson light. Moreover, the outer reinforcements were all of relatively low cultivation levels. In a short time, the demons were beheading the city gates from afar, and the reinforcements fell to the ground one after another. It looked like the demons were about to reach the city gates.
Fortunately, Master Lu had left some capable puppets at a distance, and when they attacked, they managed to stabilize the situation and protect the reinforcements who were struggling under the crimson light.
After the Sea-Filling God, Master Lu, Lü Bu, and others broke free from the red light shackles, the reinforcements were able to drive the demons back. However, the demon army was still powerful, and they continued to press forward from all directions. Before long, the Sea-Filling God and Master Lu were hit by several "Ultimate Thunderbolts," and the reinforcements gradually fell into a bitter battle.
"So this is where you were waiting for me, Xia Geng. It's been so long since I've seen you, you've become quite wicked!" The Queen Mother of the West smiled, her expression unchanged, as she watched the city gates close with a "rumble."
Before the Queen Mother of the West could finish speaking, the light bulb, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, made a turn in the air and flew straight towards her. With a "click," the light bulb suddenly stopped outside the chessboard, and then a bolt of electricity like lightning shot out from it.
No sooner said than done, in the instant the light bulb emitted electricity, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly threw Wang Yao into the sky.
"Little fellow, remember what I taught you... Ouch... Hey... You damned devil, you have no respect for elders and children, how could you possibly lay a hand on me?"
As she threw Wang Yao out, the Queen Mother of the West warned him in a shrill voice, but then an electric current struck her, and the old woman's words immediately changed.
Wang Yao was suddenly thrown into the air by the old woman, and then fell down. He dared not use "rambling" to attract the wrath of the light bulb. In desperation, he quickly used "fairy travel" to levitate in the air for a while, and then planned to quietly hide to the side.
Unexpectedly, he had only floated a short distance when he suddenly felt something pulling at his ankle. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move an inch. Wang Yao looked down and was shocked to find that a bright white silk thread had been tied to his ankle at some point.
