Chapter 309: Phantom Night Rebellion
When Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang stepped into the territory of Luoxia City, they immediately noticed something was wrong.
The city defense formation had clearly been repaired, and logically, evil spirits should be wreaking havoc in the city, but at this moment the entire city was as silent as death.
The streets were empty, even the sound of the wind was stagnant, as if the entire city had been drained of its vitality by some force.
"Contact your clan leader and ask him where he is." Gao Huohuo whispered.
Zhong Hanshang tried to activate his communication ability, but after a long while, the jade talisman showed no response.
He frowned: "I can't get in touch with you."
"It's dangerous here, why don't you wait for me outside." Zhong Hanshang suddenly said.
Gao Huohuo glared at him when he heard this: "Zhong Hanshang, my cultivation is higher than yours, and you want me to wait outside?"
Zhong Hanshang remained silent.
He remembered what happened last time in the City Lord's Mansion and was worried that he would lose control again after entering.
If I hurt her...
"Huohuo, if I lose control after I go in, knock me out." He said in a low voice.
"If it doesn't work... just kill me."
"Shut up!" Gao Huohuo covered his mouth with his hand, and his warm breath could be felt through his fingertips.
"Although I don't remember what happened before, since I was able to protect you then, there's no way I'll leave you alone now."
She is now in the late Mahayana stage and is only one step away from overcoming the tribulation. There are only a handful of people in this world who can threaten her.
The two entered the City Lord's Mansion cautiously.
As soon as I stepped into the mansion, I heard violent fluctuations of spiritual power and sounds of fighting coming from underground.
Gao Huohuo's expression changed, and he pulled Zhong Hanshang and quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.
After passing through layers of restrictions, the scene before them shocked the two of them—
Li Qingde was fighting against several dark shadows alone. He had many wounds on his body and his clothes were soaked in blood.
Upon seeing them, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the usually calm sect leader.
"Hurry up! Go find your Master and have them seal Luoxia City again!"
Li Qingde said anxiously while resisting the attack.
"Senior, what are you going to do?" Gao Huo asked anxiously.
"Don't worry about me!" Li Qingde repelled the attacking black shadow with a palm.
"The one on Yashan is just a projection of Xue Ming. If he is allowed to complete the fusion here, the Three Realms will be doomed!"
Zhong Hanshang immediately activated his magical powers to contact Shen Cangxuan and Dongfang Han.
Gao Huohuo snorted coldly, and the Evil-Breaking Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light.
She leaped forward, sweeping across the land to destroy evil. Wherever she passed, black shadows, like snow encountering the scorching sun, let out shrill screams and scattered.
"How dare you, a mere filthy thing, act so presumptuously in front of me?"
Her attacks were fierce, and each time they were accompanied by blazing flames, burning the approaching black shadows to ashes.
Zhong Hanshang followed closely behind, and the frosty sword intent froze the surroundings.
It formed a force of ice and fire intertwined with her flames, forcibly tearing a gap in the wave of black shadows.
However, just when the two thought the situation had eased.
The black shadows suddenly became violent and rushed over like a tide, their number was several times more than before!
"Something's wrong!" Gao Huohuo's eyes darkened. "These shadows are deliberately consuming our spiritual power!"
Before she could finish her words, the ground suddenly collapsed, and a huge black hand suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed her ankle!
“Fire, fire!” Zhong Hanshang’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he swung his sword to cut, but the black hand was even faster, and it suddenly pulled—
"boom!"
Gao Huohuo was dragged underground and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
The feeling of falling only lasted for a moment, and Gao Huohuo fell heavily into a dark space.
She quickly turned over and stood up, holding Poxie in front of her, looking around vigilantly.
There is no light here, only endless darkness, and the air is filled with the smell of decay and blood.
"We finally meet, Gao Huohuo."
A low and cold voice sounded in the darkness.
Then, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, like two blood moons hanging in the void.
Gao Huohuo sneered: "Playing tricks!"
She swung her sword suddenly, and the sword light tore through the darkness, illuminating the scene ahead.
A man sat on a throne made of bones.
He had a handsome face, yet a sinister look. His black hair flowed like a waterfall, and he wore a dark red robe. A strong aura of blood and murder lingered around him.
Xue Ming’s true form!
"You took so much trouble to bring me here, you didn't just want me to see your face, did you?" Gao Huohuo said sarcastically.
Xue Ming chuckled: "Of course not."
He slowly stood up, and with every step he took, spider-web-like blood-red lines spread across the ground.
"I just want to tell you that what you think is your determination is just part of my plan."
Gao Huohuo narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
Xue Ming's fingertips lightly stroked the darkness, and the darkness was torn like a curtain, revealing the current scene of the demon clan.
Inside the Demon King's Palace, a long staircase was paved with scarlet carpets, and flickering candles on both sides reflected the solemn and murderous atmosphere in the palace.
Huan Ye was dressed in a black brocade robe, with silver hair falling like a waterfall. He leaned lazily on the gilded throne that originally belonged to the Demon King.
When Gao Huohuo saw Huan Ye's face, he was shocked. It was him?
His slender fingers were playing with a blood-red jade pendant, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were cold.
Your Highness, dozens of powerful demons knelt on one knee with their heads lowered, and even their breathing was very light.
"Report—the Mandragora Flower Clan refused to surrender, and our clan has breached the mountain gate!"
A fox guard walked in quickly, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.
Huanye paused, then slowly raised his eyes. "Oh? The Mandragora Flower Clan is Gao Huohuo's loyal followers. Where is their leader?"
The guard bowed his head and said, "The clan leader died in battle, and the young clan leader was seriously injured."
Soon, two fox guards dragged a bloody Manman into the hall.
The girl was wearing a tattered green dress, her wings were broken, blood was dripping from her fingertips, but she still stood straight with her back stubbornly.
Huan Ye leaned forward slightly, his silver hair falling on his shoulders.
"Manman, I heard that before my father died, he was still shouting that he would always be loyal to Princess Mu Ling?"
Manman looked up, hatred bursting from her blood-stained eyes.
"Huan Ye! You betrayed the demon race and colluded with Xue Ming. One day you will be punished by heaven!"
All the monsters in the hall were silent, and several chiefs of small tribes who were originally loyal to Gao Huohuo were even more pale, with cold sweat soaking their backs.
Huan Ye chuckled softly and suddenly raised his hand—
“Crack!”
Manman's arm was broken!
"Ah——!" A shrill scream echoed in the hall. The girl fell to her knees on the ground, her whole body convulsing.
"Divine punishment?"
Huan Ye slowly wiped the blood from his fingertips, "Now, the Heavenly Dao is about to change its master."
He stood up, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
"Pass the order down. By noon tomorrow, all demons who refuse to surrender will be refined into blood pills."
There was dead silence in the hall.
Several chiefs of small tribes could no longer hold on and fell to their knees with a thud.
"Master Huanye, spare our lives! We are willing to serve our new master!"
Huan Ye sighed softly, but his tone was a little playful.
"What a pity. I quite like that little girl Manman."
