Because of the restrictions placed within the city, sword-wielding was not allowed within the city. Some of the demons who came were still at the Foundation Establishment stage and could only ride swords, not wind. Therefore, the demons walked below, and some of the Golden Armor Guards remained on the ground. In other words, apart from Geng Qi and the two protectors, there were no demons in the air.
Moreover, the demonic energy was overflowing from the illusion array, and it was not Jie Beiying's demonic energy.
Geng Qi lowered his gaze slightly.
"I'll go." Dressed in an apricot-yellow robe, he stepped forward to confront the eye of the illusion array. A gust of wind swept over him, causing his robes to flutter. Qing Han had already found the eye of the array, and Scorpion had opened another gap. The Grand Preceptor's final strike directly shattered the illusion array, revealing a path leading up the mountain.
Strangely, the surging demonic energy that had been overflowing before the formation was broken vanished without a trace afterward. Within the illusionary formation, a man dressed in a deep purple Daoist robe, wearing a purple-gold crown, with a face that appeared to be over thirty, stared at the imposing golden-armored guards below with somewhat cloudy eyes. He then looked directly at the person in front of him and said with a deep gaze, "Does True Person Kongyun truly intend to become an enemy of my Lan Valley Sect?"
The Imperial Preceptor's original name was Rongyun, and his honorific title was Kongyun Zhenren.
Seeing that Yin Cong was all alone, the Imperial Advisor said, "The imperial decree cannot be disobeyed."
"So this is what they mean by 'the emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed'!" Yin Cong sne
Everyone knows that the true power holder of the royal family is the Grand Preceptor, not the Emperor. The Grand Preceptor is the foundation of the country. If it weren't for this Grand Preceptor, the royal family would have been divided and devoured by other sects long ago. At that time, there would be no royal family, but rather a small, divided country called a sect.
As the saying goes, "If you don't see eye to eye, there's not much to say." There was nothing to say to begin with. No one knew who made the first move. To others, it appeared as if the two attacked simultaneously. The two beams of spiritual light collided, and the resulting fluctuations in spiritual energy were enough to destroy the entire Xiangbo City.
The Golden Armor Guards and the Demon Clan rarely worked together to support the protective barrier; one did it for the city, and the other did it for themselves.
While the two were fighting, Geng Qi concealed his presence and went up the mountain with Rong Yu first.
The path to Lan Valley Gate is different from other sects. The path they see is not the real path. Various formations along the way are used to confuse them. If the Golden Armor Guards were to break through, they would probably be wiped out before they even reached Lan Valley Gate.
"The spiritual energy here is very pure."
Geng Qi looked around, and ever since he saw the demonic energy, his brows had been furrowed.
However, as he searched along the way, he found nothing related to demonic energy, as if what he had seen outside the illusion array was an illusion.
Could it really be just my imagination?
He lowered his head in thought, and Rong Yu put his arm around him and said, "Let's talk about it upstairs."
If they keep dawdling, they'll finish fighting down below and still not reach the summit.
Led up the mountain by someone he knew and trusted, Geng Qi remained absent-minded. Even after his feet touched the ground, he was still clinging to Rong Yu's arms, looking up and asking, "Do you think there might be a traitor in the Demon Realm?"
He immediately contradicted himself after saying that.
No matter what world or race they are in, those who worship those who are not of their own kind will surely have different hearts. There is no benefit for the people of the Demon Realm to cooperate with the Lan Valley Sect, not to mention the people in the Demon Palace, who were left behind by the old Demon Lord and are all very reliable.
But if they are not from the demon realm, where does the demonic energy come from?
As they pondered, a deafening roar erupted from below the mountain, as if the entire mountaintop would be overturned. At the foot of the mountain, the Golden Armor Guards, struggling to maintain the protective shield of the entire Xiangbo City, were finding it difficult to keep up, and fine beads of sweat were already seeping from their foreheads.
Although the people of the demon realm could only protect themselves, it was still somewhat difficult. Some immediately sent messages to their respective clans, requesting outside help.
In mid-air, the royal family's chief eagle guard looked out at the battlefield. The two combatants were completely invisible, only two streaks of light intertwined, and the spiritual energy waves generated by their collision were terrifying.
Geng Qi, also looking down from the mountain, asked in confusion, "Sect Leader Yin, is he really that powerful?"
He had fought Yin Cong before he was on the verge of death. According to his estimation at the time, Master Kongyun would have been more than able to crush Yin Cong. After seeing the situation of the people in Xiangbo City, he should not have held back. However, judging from the current battle, it seems that the two fought to a draw.
Rong Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Rong Yun is no match for him."
The two fought from higher up, and the Grand Preceptor was intentionally leading Yin Cong away from Xiangbo City or away from the people below. If he were absolutely sure, he would never show weakness to the enemy. The reason he did this was because he was not confident that he could protect those below.
Why is this happening?
Even if a person's cultivation level improves, they wouldn't experience such a significant change in a short period of time. Moreover, Yin Cong originally only had the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, but now he has clearly broken through the Void Returning stage. Advancing to the next level will involve a Heavenly Tribulation. In recent days, apart from Rong Yu breaking through to the Mahayana stage, no one has ever seen tribulation clouds.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he felt a chill run down his spine. Then he saw a dark mass in the distance, looked at it carefully, and his eyes lit up.
Countless demons in different forms rushed into Xiangbo City, joining the demons from the previous realm to erect a defensive barrier, surrounding the two combatants.
Seeing that something was wrong, Yin Cong's composed expression turned slightly serious. He suddenly retreated back up the mountain, and the barrier that Geng Qi had broken was restarted, blocking the strange monsters outside. Only the two of them managed to break in at the last moment before the barrier was set up.
Qinghan stood in front of Geng Qi: "Young Master."
Geng Qi asked, "Who has come?"
"The chiefs of all ethnic groups have arrived."
“…” Geng Qi raised an eyebrow.
Is this the kind of situation where someone who's been idle for a hundred years would rush to a fight whenever they see one?
In this way, there's no need to worry about the foot of the mountain.
Another person who "escaped" back to the barrier, Lan Gu Sect Master Yin Cong, even exchanged a few moves with the Imperial Preceptor after entering the barrier before they each withdrew. Only then did he belatedly realize that there were already people on the mountain, and a pair of turbid eyes even overflowed with a few wisps of black energy.
