All the demons were handcuffed, and Xu Yuehuai untied them one by one.
The injuries sustained by the demons were shocking. The tree spirit, with tears in its eyes, said, "How did you get injured like this? I'm sorry, we're too late."
"It's not your fault. We are grateful to you for rescuing us. If you ever need our help, we will go through fire and water for you." The demons were very grateful to Xu Yuehuai for saving them and expressed their willingness to repay him.
“The injuries on our bodies were caused by the Ying family. They captured us and enslaved us; their crimes are utterly heinous!”
A rabbit spirit accused the Ying family of their crimes, and now the demon race has an irreconcilable feud with the Ying family.
Fortunately, Ying Ziping rarely revealed his identity to outsiders, so the demons didn't know that a member of the Ying family had infiltrated their ranks. Otherwise, filled with hatred for the Ying family, they would have torn Ying Ziping to pieces.
"How could so many of you demons have been captured?" Qi Guze fell into deep thought, his voice unusually serious.
Can the Ying family really control everything by capturing all the demons?
One of the demon victims, a flower demon, was so frightened by the mention of the Ying family that her legs went weak and she almost fainted. Her voice trembled as she said, "The Ying family... their methods are extremely terrifying... they have many magical treasures for dealing with demons, capable of binding the spiritual power of demons. All of us demons combined are no match for the Ying family!"
"Not only that, the Ying family has collected a lot of weapons specifically designed to deal with demons, and many of our demons with low spiritual power have already been killed."
The fox spirits harbored deep hatred for their families. Those who remained were those with slightly higher cultivation levels. Many other demons were tortured to death before Xu Yuehuai and the others could even rescue them.
After hearing Xu Yuehuai's story, she felt great sympathy for the demon race's plight. Determined to rescue the remaining surviving demons, she firmly stated:
"No matter how many magical treasures they possess, we will not let them have their way. Let's get out of the barrier now."
On the other side, the Ying family.
"Something's wrong, Elder! The barrier has shifted!"
The Ying family's magical artifacts could sense the disturbance in the barrier, and this matter quickly alarmed the Ying family's elders.
The elder of the Ying family was furious. He roared, "Who on earth is capable of mastering our Ying family's barrier?"
Sensing something amiss with the barrier, he decided to personally go and repair it!
"You few, come with me immediately to guard the barrier!" The elder, along with a dozen or so cultivators of considerable spiritual power, appeared at the barrier using a teleportation array.
An elder appeared out of the sky and blocked their path.
"Everyone, let's get out of here quickly. Otherwise, it will be too late if we are discovered."
"You can leave, but the demons must stay." The elder looked down on the demons.
The elder then let out a cold laugh, a hint of sarcasm in his smile:
"You really think you can take them away just by breaking my barrier? Wishful thinking!"
Then the elder, along with his cultivators, strengthened everything and created a new barrier.
Xu Yuehuai and her group tried to stop it, but it was too late; the new barrier had already been activated.
"No, the power of this barrier has become even stronger. We can't break it at all now."
Everyone tried to work together to open the barrier, but found that it couldn't be opened at all.
These demons were trapped inside; the barrier completely restricted their spiritual power, preventing them from using it.
Xu Yuehuai was extremely anxious as she watched the demons trapped inside once again, wanting to rescue them, but she was completely helpless.
"Elder, we don't want to cause trouble, we just want to be rescued."
Xu Yuehuai could only try to plead with the elders, hoping they would be lenient and release the demons.
How could the elders, with their wolfish ambitions, possibly let the demon race go?
"Hmph, humans and demons are different. I will not allow you to save the demon race. If you save the demon race, you will become the mortal enemy of the Ying family."
The elder's lips curled into a cold, sarcastic smile, and his vicious abbreviation showed that he would not let the demon race off the hook.
"You hypocritical humans, we demons have done nothing wrong, why are you arresting us?"
The demons were trapped in a barrier. They tried to open the barrier, but the more they resisted, the more attacks came from inside, and many demons were accidentally injured.
The demons were filled with mad hatred for the Ying family, and their eyes were filled with hatred as if they wanted to tear the elders apart.
"Haha, as long as you are demons, you are born to die!" The elder used all his cultivation to create the barrier, intending to kill all those demons!
"Elder, we must save the demon race. Since that's the case, don't blame us."
Their thoughts were still very extreme. Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai exchanged a glance, knowing that they couldn't change the elder's mind and that a fierce battle was inevitable.
Qi Guze attacked the elder, nearly injuring him. He was completely enraged and turned his gaze to Xu Yuehuai, saying, "You actually dared to hurt me, you are simply overestimating yourselves."
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The elder threatened that he would not let them off and began to attack them.
Both sides unleashed their magical weapons and clashed. The elder's power was immense, beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, and an anomaly occurred in the sky.
The elder's attack left everyone with nowhere to dodge; it was almost as fast as lightning, and several people nearly lost their lives as a result.
"We must unite and deal with the elder!" Qi Guze rallied everyone, believing that the elder was no match for them.
Qi Guze's side had the advantage due to their large numbers. Even though the elder was very powerful, when they attacked him together, none of the cultivators under the elder were a match for Qi Guze. They were all killed by Qi Guze, and the elder gradually became unable to cope.
At the critical moment, Qi Guze stabbed the elder in the chest with his sword.
The elder's combat ability declined, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Elder, as long as we spare the demon race, we won't cause any trouble." Qi Guze tried to reason with the elder, but the elder had already gone mad.
The elder burst into maniacal laughter, his eyes revealing malice. "Impossible! Today, you and the demon race will all die here! Hahaha!"
The elder suddenly pulled out all sorts of magical artifacts from his pocket and used more spiritual power to strengthen the barrier. Even though the elder had suffered some injuries, he recovered quickly with the help of the magical artifacts.
The elder made the barrier unbreakable and issued a life-or-death order to it.
Unless you die here, you'll never be able to get out.
"Let us out!"
The barrier was getting hotter and hotter due to the intense heat, and the demons were about to lose their tempers. If they didn't get out soon, they would all be attacked and killed!
Xu Yuehuai couldn't believe that the elder possessed such a powerful magical artifact. His wounds healed rapidly. Despite their best efforts, they were still unable to save the demon race.
She was unwilling to give up just like that!
Xu Yuehuai tried many methods, but could not open the barrier. Instead, she thought that forcibly opening it would cause her to vomit blood as a backlash, but the barrier did not have any cracks.
"Don't push yourself, I'll heal you." Qi Guze was very concerned and immediately began to heal Xu Yuehuai to alleviate her injuries.
"Haha, it's no use. You can't get out of this barrier. I've placed a curse on it. Unless I personally open it, no one can leave!"
The elder stood outside the barrier, looking down at the outside world with an air of absolute confidence.
This barrier is enough to trap Qi Guze and the others here. He doesn't care about these insignificant cultivators at all. The range of the barrier is slowly shrinking, and they will soon be swallowed up by it!
