Just as Qin Feng was deep in thought, the dark clouds that had covered the sky and were gloomy and oppressive suddenly disappeared without warning, as if they had never existed.
Instead, there was a clear, azure sky stretching as far as the eye could see.
This sudden change left Qin Feng stunned. He even forgot what he was thinking and froze on the spot, unable to move.
What about the lightning tribulation?
Could it be that the terrifying pressure and dark clouds just now were not caused by lightning tribulation, but some kind of rare and strange phenomenon?
However, before Qin Feng could recover from his shock, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the void directly above Jiuli Immortal Island.
With a series of booming sounds, a surge of extremely pure and powerful demonic energy erupted from it, pouring down like a flood bursting its banks.
Qin Feng stared wide-eyed at the huge hole, his face filled with terror, a feeling of indescribable fear welling up inside him.
This situation was not unfamiliar to him; he had experienced similar scenarios before.
Could it be that Demon Lord Ice Soul has crossed over from another interface once again?
More precisely, it should be Ice Soul's first incarnation—the current Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
The true Ice Soul was sealed in a small world beneath the Nine Li Immortal Island.
In an instant, two dark figures sped out of the hole like lightning and landed near the Jiuli Palace.
At this moment, Qin Feng was just an ordinary mortal, and he couldn't see clearly who these two dark figures were, let alone know whether the Demon Lord was among them.
However, whether the Demon Lord descends in person or not is meaningless to Qin Feng.
Even if the Demon Lord hadn't arrived, if these two mysterious figures had discovered his presence, he would have been doomed.
At this moment, he had no way to conceal himself and could only silently pray that the two would not notice him. Otherwise, this place would be his burial ground.
At the same time, around the Jiuli Palace, a man and a woman dressed in black robes were looking around, seemingly searching for something.
The man was in his fifties or sixties, with a square face and an expressionless expression, which made him appear exceptionally solemn and dignified.
The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a graceful figure and beautiful face, truly a charming and stunning beauty.
After a while, the man slowly withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the woman beside him, and said with a slight smile, "Chiyu, do you think the Demon Lord might have made a mistake? How could there be a barrier here!"
Chi Yu frowned slightly, giving the man a forced smile, and coldly questioned, "Tian Sha, who gave you the audacity to doubt the Demon Lord? Do you have a death wish?"
Tian Sha curled his lip dismissively and retorted, "I wasn't questioning the Demon Lord at all; I was simply stating objective facts, okay!"
"Otherwise, you'd better find the barrier and show it to me! If you can't find it, then you'll have to apologize to me!"
Akabane snorted coldly and replied contemptuously, "Although I haven't found any trace of the barrier yet, that doesn't mean our intelligence is wrong!"
"Nine Li Immortal Island is only so big. As long as we work together and dig deep, we will definitely be able to find the location of the barrier!"
"Digging three feet into the ground?" Tian Sha was taken aback upon hearing this, his face full of disdain and contempt. He sneered, "Chi Yu, are you out of your mind? What kind of barrier can escape our discerning eyes?"
"The fact that we can't sense it now is enough to prove that there is no barrier on Jiuli Immortal Island at all."
Akabane looked at Tensha expressionlessly and said calmly, "You are utterly foolish!"
She continued, "If that barrier were really as easy to detect as you say, wouldn't Jiuli, as the island lord of Jiuli Immortal Island, have already discovered it?"
"Therefore, don't be too arrogant. Some exquisite barriers are so difficult to detect that even the Demon Lord himself would have a hard time finding them, let alone you and me."
Tian Sha scoffed dismissively. "Hmph! If that's how it is, then you can go find it yourself! I certainly don't want to do something so pointless!"
"This is my first time in the Heavenly Realm, so I'll take this opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery here."
"I will be back in a month at the latest. In the meantime, whether you find the barrier or not, you'd better stay in the Celestial Realm and don't return to the Demon Realm alone, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Before Chi Yu could even speak, Tian Sha had already used his teleportation technique and vanished without a trace, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.
Looking in the direction where Tian Sha had gone, Chi Yu couldn't help but frown slightly, her beautiful face full of worry.
She secretly prayed that Tian Sha would not run into Qin Feng, otherwise she herself would likely be implicated.
Before they left, the Demon Lord had specifically instructed the two of them not to provoke a person named Qin Feng.
After looking around warily, Akabane reached out and gently touched the storage necklace hanging around her neck. The next moment, a long sword shrouded in demonic energy and entirely blood red appeared in her hand.
Immediately afterward, she flashed into the air like a ghost, soaring a hundred meters into the sky in the blink of an eye. After regaining her footing, Akabane gripped the hilt of her sword tightly with both hands and began to wildly swing the blood-red longsword in her hands at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
In an instant, countless sharp and unparalleled sword energies shot out from the sword, crashing heavily onto the ground below like a storm, producing deafening roars and billowing dust.
Chi Yu knew very well that if there was indeed a barrier on Jiuli Immortal Island, then with his fierce attack methods, he would definitely be able to find it in the shortest amount of time.
Almost at the same moment, Qin Feng, who was by the sea, suddenly heard a deafening roar coming from the direction of the Jiuli Palace not far away.
His expression instantly turned extremely grave, and he muttered to himself, "Not good! Judging from this commotion, could it be that those two demons have already made their move?"
Qin Feng had already guessed why these two demons had come to Jiuli Immortal Island—they were most likely after the barrier that covered the mysterious underground city!
It should be noted that the entrance to the small world where the sealed Ice Soul resides is located within that underground city.
If the enemy finds this entrance and successfully breaks in, they will be able to rescue the sealed Ice Soul...
This would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for him personally, as well as for the entire Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, and many other realms!
