Qingling was dressed in a long black robe. In mid-air, the wind blew, and her long black hair flowed wildly and unrestrainedly. Her face was pale and bloodless. The scar on her right cheek, which was originally burned by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, had been replaced by black patterns. She exuded a sinister and cold aura. Her dark eyes were like the deep night sky, as if they came from the dark hell, making people dare not look directly at her.
Before her was a pitch-black ancient zither, emanating a gloomy, demonic aura that enveloped everything around it like an invisible, oppressive force.
Si Yu pursed his lips tightly. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't hurt her, he and Huo Qilin wouldn't be in such a passive position.
A sharp glint flashed in her clear eyes as her fair hands gently caressed the guqin.
Zheng—
The music was melodious and seemed to come from an ancient world. The surrounding demonic energy surged and kept attacking Si Yu and the fire unicorn. Si Yu's heart sank. She saw a ball of fire condense in her hand, and the demonic energy that could not dodge in time instantly turned into ashes.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hong Yu's eyes. It was actually one of the Ten Divine Flames, the True Flame of the Sun.
The True Fire of the Sun ranks first among the Ten Divine Fires. It is the first divine fire in the world and the original fire of the Sun God, Golden Crow. Even the fire seed of his Fire Qilin is inferior to it.
Despite this, he still couldn't get any closer to her. Si Yu discovered that her demonic energy was connected to that of the demon, seemingly inexhaustible.
Si Yu narrowed her eyes dangerously, a golden light flashing in her black pupils. Almost instantly, Si Yu's eyes darkened. It turned out to be the Demon Gathering Stone!
No wonder the demonic energy is inexhaustible. Did that demon use the Demon Gathering Stone to make Qingling release it?
They probably don't know about this. Si Yu swiped her fingers a few times, and a streak of light instantly disappeared into mid-air.
Gong Mingyue held Ji Jiuying in his arms, his deep gaze turning to the side as he reached out to catch the streak of light that was hurtling towards him.
"What's wrong, Yue?"
"Si Yu said that Qing Ling has a Demon Gathering Stone inside her body. With the Demon Gathering Stone, Qing Ling and the demons will have inexhaustible demonic energy."
Ji Jiuying frowned. "Gathering Demon Stone?" Just from the name, you know it's not a good thing. Qingling's mind must have been controlled by this Gathering Demon Stone.
"Ah Yue, how could there be a Demon Gathering Stone inside Qingling's body?"
Gong Mingyue explained, "The Demon Gathering Stone is formed from the heart of this demon over a thousand years. Even a god who is about to ascend would probably have his mind devoured by this Demon Gathering Stone. Not to mention Qingling is a mortal. However, she is a demon seed left in the human world by the demon race. The Demon Gathering Stone will only make her demonized, and will not cause her any real harm."
Thud—
A loud bang interrupted their conversation. Feng Luo and Feng Yan were blasted away by the demonic energy and landed not far away, blood gushing out, indicating that they were seriously injured.
"Third brother, this demon is too strong. Even with divine beasts around, we are no match for it. Should we tell eldest brother and the others about this?" Feng Yan struggled to his feet and swallowed a few pills to recover.
Feng Luo's eyes flickered slightly: "I informed my father about this matter a long time ago. Even if we didn't say anything, the barrier of the Heavenly Domain Demon Clan would definitely change, and they would be able to guess something."
Feng Yan nodded, and Feng Luo added, "Let's go over there to recover first. Judging by the time, they should be here soon."
The two endured the pain and found a secluded place to hide.
Gong Mingyue put Ji Jiuying down. "Jiu'er, stay here and recover from your injuries."
As he spoke, his figure appeared in mid-air, joining forces with Hei Xiangling and the others to fight the monster.
"Little Jiu, Little Jiu, I'm here!"
A white figure appeared not far away. Ji Jiuying turned around and said, "Xiaobai, what brings you here?"
"It's not just me who's here; many people from the higher planes have come."
Feng Luo and Feng Yan, who were not far away, naturally heard Bai Lisha's words as well. They exchanged a glance and saw joy in each other's eyes.
Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "Xiaobai, has something happened in the Heavenly Realm?"
Bai Lisha told Ji Jiuying everything she knew, and even mentioned what Xin Yao had said at the time. Ji Jiuying frowned, thinking that Xin Yao was trying to shift the blame onto her, but... she must have other motives.
Feng Luo narrowed her eyes. Ever since she saw Xin Yao clearly last time, she had no good feelings towards her. A woman as insidious as Xin Yao could not be viewed with normal eyes. This time, besides wanting to use someone else to kill her, she must be like them, wanting to obtain the divine artifact in the forbidden area.
It seems I'll have to remind my father and the others later, lest they benefit someone else.
"Xiao Jiu, that Xin Yao is too wicked. She will probably come with experts from various major forces in the Heavenly Domain soon. You must be careful of her then."
Ji Jiuying nodded. Bai Lisha glanced at the towering demon not far away and swallowed hard. This was the first time she had ever seen a demon, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
"Xiao Jiu, I'm going to find Si Yu first. He seems to be seriously injured, and I'm a little worried about him..."
Ji Jiuying pursed her lips, a look of seriousness flashing in her eyes. Even Si Yu couldn't defeat Qingling, so it's no wonder that Yingyue was so badly injured. Qingling, who had devoured the Demon Gathering Stone, seemed to be even stronger than she had imagined.
"Go ahead, but be careful."
After responding, Shiraisha left.
Thump thump—
In order to shield Xiao Huang'er from the force behind them, Ling Xiao and Xiao Huang'er were both struck and fell from mid-air. The demon gave them no chance to catch their breath, and its powerful force pressed down on them like a storm.
"Mother—save me!"
Ji Jiuying's heart tightened. Ignoring her injuries, she leaped up. Just as the force was about to hit them, their figures vanished instantly, the skill missed its mark, and the demon was enraged. The force slammed towards Ji Jiuying in an instant.
The wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a terrifying atmosphere permeated the entire sky.
Gong Mingyue, Hei Xiangling, and Dongfang Yaoxin were shocked, but they didn't have time to help her. They couldn't imagine what it would be like if that force hit her.
Ji Jiuying immediately summoned the Blazing Sun Bow and held it horizontally in front of her chest.
With a bang, the two forces collided. Although Ji Jiuying avoided being hurt by the force, she was sent flying by the force and fell from mid-air. A gust of wind swept past, and she landed in Gong Mingyue's arms.
"Didn't I tell you to recuperate over there?"
"I can't just sit idly by..."
When she saw Xiao Huang'er and Ling Xiao fall, she didn't care about anything else.
The demon roared, emitting a piercing sound, and countless forces rushed towards Gong Mingyue and Ji Jiuying. Gong Mingyue held Ji Jiuying in one arm and dealt with the fierce forces with the other.
Feng Luo and the other person in the shadows were secretly surprised. Just how powerful was Ming You? He dared to multitask like this even in the face of a powerful demon.
