A huge boom shook the air, white light radiating from the impact.
Lady Mu and her junior martial sister made use of this opportunity, releasing a silver and golden streak of light to form the Sun Moon Shuttle, entering it in a blur.
Long Meng tensely frowned at this development and spat out a silver beam of light towards them.
A shocking scene occurred. The phantom of a strangely-scaled huge deer suddenly appeared from the grand formation surrounding them and absorbed the beam of light into its stomach. Afterwards, it disappeared without a trace.
“The Eightcorn Deer!”
In her alarm, she quickly looked at the Eight Spirit Ruler. While it remained floating in the air, it had begun to shake at an unknown time. Each of its trembles released a ball of seven-colored light, and the eight spirit beast phantoms began to form around the ruler with distinct detail as if it were on the verge of activating.
Long Meng’s expression turned sour when she saw this, and her entire body flashed with silver light before shooting into the palace without another word.
The Eight Spirit Ruler suddenly released an ear-piercing drone, followed by bright light flashing from the spell formation. The ground quaked and nine cracks split open, making way for nine more altars to emerge.
These altars were several times larger than what was originally surrounding the palace, and each had a shimmering golden blade enshrined on them. However, these blades were far larger, spanning over thirty meters in scope as if they were pillars themselves.
When the Ye Clan Grand Elder Saw this, he immediately shouted out, “The Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation!”
Han Li had already predicted that things were turning for the worse, and grabbed Silvermoon’s arm to pull her back, but when he heard what the Ye Clan Grand Elder said, something lit up in his mind.
He felt as if he heard the name before, but he didn’t have the time to consider it. Black light flickered from the air and countless strands of black devilish Qi began to emerge from the earth like evil pythons.
With a series of howling cackles, a four-armed and two-headed devil emerged from the black Qi and floated in the air.
Then, Nine of the huge golden blades flared and their edges released a dense barrage of light, leaving behind a golden mist that seemed to fill the air itself and fiercely suppress the figure.
The devil’s wild laughter came to an abrupt stop and he immediately retreated with a faceful of terror.
But suddenly, the blades of light flashed and strangely warped above the devil’s head and fiercely chopped down to follow him.
Golden light and devilish Qi met one another, resulting in a huge impact.
A fair and seductive figure had appeared just in time in front of the devil and blocked the blades of light with a single finger.
Chapter 1042: Appearance of the Devil
A deafening clang sounded out as the blades of golden light was repelled by the flick of a single finger belonging to a black-robed woman of incredible allure.
When Silvermoon saw her face, her body trembled and complexion paled.
Han Li’s attention was first caught by the two-headed four-armed devil. The Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords within his body let out a series of cries, sensing the two flying swords that had been taken away. He should be the Elder Devil from the Devilfall Valley.
Then, he looked at the gorgeous woman standing in front of it, and couldn't sense even the faintest trace of magic power from her body, clearly indicating that her cultivation was on another realm entirely.
Han Li felt his blood run cold. His body blurred several times away, bringing Silvermoon to the edge of the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation before releasing her. Gui Ling had been silently following after him as well and couldn't help but take several odd glances at his spirit beast.
Silvermoon glanced at Han Li with a conflicted expression on her face and softly muttered, “Many thanks, Master.”
“Be careful.” Han Li frowned, now knowing that her identity was by no means simple.
Silvermoon nodded and turned to look at the beautiful woman with a sad expression.
Grand Immortal Xu and the Ye Clan Elders had also fled to the edge of the formation. Although they were wary of each other, they were mostly bewildered by what was happening to the ground.
“What is going on? Devilish Qi is flaring from their bodies!” a voice of disbelief sounded out from the Sun Moon Shuttle. Soon after, Lady Mu's body blurred and she appeared above the treasure, holding the Dragon Call Seal’s dragon phantom in her hand.
However, the dragon phantom was now giving a far more violent reaction to this newly appeared group, compared to when it faced Long Meng.
Even if Lady Mu hadn’t activated the treasure, the phantom would’ve summoned itself regardless.
At a loss of the current situation, Grand Immortal Xu coldly glanced at Lady Mu. In any case, the conflict had turned chaotic and devils were appearing, each new more vicious than the last. He already made up his mind to flee.
With that thought, his lips began to move as he sent voice transmissions towards the Endless Sky Saintess, Lin Yinping.
She tightly frowned and nodded, and Grand Immortal Xu began to float erratically in the air as he began to look around him.
In addition, the Ye Clan Elders were also alarmed by the appearance of the new devils and let go of any intention of acquiring the treasure. The Grand Elder gave the other two Ye Clan members a meaningful glance and they formed an incantation gesture. Their bodies then blurred before stealthily slipping away.
When the Silver-winged Nightfiend saw the woman’s face, he was stunned.
If it weren’t for the profuse devilish Qi emitting from her body, she appeared exactly like the original Fairy Ling Long. However, Silvermoon herself was at Han Li’s side and her counterpart was possessing Hua Tianqi. Just who was the person before them. The nightfiend grew apprehensive and his eyes darted around, trying desperately to come up with some plans.
As for Lady Mu, when she glanced at the Dragon Call Crest in her hand, her expression wavered. Then with a stamp of her foot, the shuttle blurred and fell to the ground before disappearing into it.
“Fool! The air and ground have restrictions placed down by the old occupants. There is no point in burrowing away,” Gui Ling scoffed, viewing their actions with contempt.
“That might not be so. Those two were rather mysterious and understand much of the mountain. Perhaps, they have a method to break through its restrictions,” Han Li said with a flickering gaze. He then recalled the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation, something that had been mentioned in a scroll he read in the past. Although it hadn't went into much detail, it was said to be the most powerful devil warding formation in the mortal world. In the ancient war against the devils, the human cultivators managed to use it to great effect.
With that thought, he hurriedly turned his attention back to the sky.
Ever since the gorgeous woman appeared, the nine huge blades released countless streaks of light, filling the air like a violent storm.
However, the woman was able to flick them away, displaying not even the slightest effort.
But as he observed with complete awe, he was able to see the truth. The woman was actually fearful of the spell formation, and was lingering at its edge. Additionally, she looked at the cultivators and demons with indifference. Only the Eight Spirit Ruler near the palace had captured her attention.
Ever since the second devil appeared, it began to hum and flash without end.
The black-robed woman then muttered a few inaudible words to the Elder Devil at her side.
“Silvermoon, is that woman the incarnation of the Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha?”
