Outside, a group of sect leaders and others were searching for a solution and opened the barrier in front of them. Only then did Long Di begin to panic. He kept cursing, trying to relieve his inner unease and anxiety. The sect leaders were already in front of him, and all sorts of spiritual energy rushed towards Long Di. The Second Elder of Dragon Roar Valley had already disappeared without a trace when the barrier was opened, finding a place to hide like a coward.
While everyone was attacking, they didn't notice the demonic energy emanating from the arena. This demonic energy was several times stronger than before, and the black mist blocked everything around them. The next second, Xu Yuehuai and his group appeared before everyone's eyes, including Shangguan Xi and his group.
Aside from the people from Dragon Roar Valley, almost everyone who entered the secret realm was inside. Ning Xi and several other senior disciples from various sects were the most severely injured, while the rest of them all had various wounds of different sizes. Standing outside, when they saw that there was no one there, they all froze in place.
"Have we stumbled into another illusion? I'm a little tired, can we take a break before we continue fighting?" someone cried out.
Others twisted their wrists, exuding confidence and eagerness, "Come on, come on! I'm not afraid! My hands are just warmed up, and I'm already done before I've even started exercising. Keep going, you guys can't do it either!"
Going back a quarter of an hour, Shangguan Xi led her men to follow Quan Si, the eldest disciple of Dragon Roar Valley. Quan Si was leading his men to try to enter another passage. As soon as the passage opened, she rushed up and caught Quan Si off guard. In the end, he could only beg for mercy and tell them how to enter another world.
Shangguan Xi was skeptical, but let him do it. After a series of complicated hand seals were completed, Quan Si fawned over them and asked them to go in. Shangguan Xi did not believe him and instead told him to go first. Quan Si panicked and hurriedly shook his head and refused.
His performance proved that there was indeed something wrong with the thing, and Shangguan Xi immediately threatened him that if he didn't tell the truth, he would throw him into the passage.
Quan Si then dutifully established another passage and explained most of what Long Di wanted to do. If Long Di knew he had such a teammate, he would be furious.
After he finished speaking, Quan Si begged them to let him go, but Shangguan Xi broke his promise and threw him into the passage that Quan Si had originally planned to use to frame them.
Baili Xiuwen, together with Fu Ziyi, spread the word, causing most of the disciples to rush over. After Shangguan Xi told them what had happened, everyone was determined to go in.
So, the large group of people all walked inside, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in another place.
This was the place where Xu Yuehuai and the others were, and when they arrived, Xu Yuehuai and the others were already on Yuan Shui's body.
The Yuanshui itself is a cauldron, named the Nine Cauldrons.
The Demon Lord knew of the existence of the Nine Cauldrons. "You, a mighty ancient artifact, have actually stooped to the level of a mere ant. It's utterly shameful."
The Demon Lord spoke with disdain, and Yuan Shui didn't want to pay any attention to this annoying guy.
Just as the Demon Lord was about to finish them off, Shangguan Xi arrived with his men. Everyone managed to withstand the attack. The Demon Lord hadn't expected that while he was distracted for a moment, another little ant would enter. He didn't take it seriously and planned to deal with it all at once.
Just when things were in crisis, Baili Xiuwen joined forces with Fu Ziyi, and the two of them turned this small world upside down, making it impossible for anyone to find peace. Only then did the Demon Lord truly realize that the people in front of him were very dangerous.
Baili Xiuwen's spatial magic was almost flawless, and he could defeat Fu Ziyi's ghost-summoning technique without using spiritual power.
Although they ultimately won, many of them were injured, but fortunately no one died.
This was the best news: the Demon Lord had escaped, a piece of news that was hard for them to believe.
The Demon Lord simply found these little ants utterly uninteresting, so he left alone, trapping everyone here and ensuring they could never escape—a lesson learned.
He felt the pressure emanating from the Yuan Shui and knew that if these little ants cooperated with the Yuan Shui, he would definitely be injured, and then he would not be able to fulfill his dream of unifying the continent.
So the Demon Lord decisively abandoned his plan to leave without hesitation, believing that these little humans simply couldn't find their way out. Sure enough, after the Demon Lord left, they wandered around like headless flies, completely unable to find their way out.
Finally, Xu Yuehuai suggested leaving through the cliff cracks. She felt that the cliff was just an illusion. The Demon Lord had previously said that they could walk through the lava, but later the lava turned into these cracks.
He did that only to mislead everyone, implying that this place was not the right way, when in fact, it was the correct path.
After Xu Yuehuai finished speaking, everyone's eyes were filled with admiration, but also with fear. They were worried that this matter was about to go down the drain and that several lives would be lost, which would be a great loss.
The idea was proposed by Xu Yuehuai, so naturally she was the one to demonstrate it first. Ji Yuanchi supported Xu Yuehuai without hesitation, and before everyone could discuss who should go in first, she took the lead.
Everyone watched nervously below, and when they saw her disappear in a flash of white light after she left, they knew that their guess had been correct.
So everyone went in together, and when they reappeared, they were on the arena.
Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but look at Ji Yuanchi, worried that something had happened to her. Only when she saw that she was alright did her heart finally settle down.
...
While everyone was chattering away, a deafening sound came from behind, loud enough for even those outside the arena to hear. Everyone was puzzled as to what had happened.
Suddenly, some pebbles flew through the air, hit the ground, and left a crater after landing heavily.
"That's the location of Dragon's Roar Valley! Could it be that everyone went to Dragon's Roar Valley to settle scores?" Someone made a bold guess, and the others thought it made sense. For a moment, they followed Xu Yuehuai in that direction.
Even without the explosion, Dragon Roar Valley should still give them an explanation.
"Hahahaha! Lord Demon Lord, you've finally arrived! Give these people a good lesson for me!" Long Di clutched his stomach, his face showing pain, but still a smile on his face; you could see the dense laughter in his eyes.
The Demon Lord glanced at the people present, and a demonic power even heavier than that of Long Di poured out towards them.
