Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 122 A Trip to Penglai (5)

"elder brother!"

After Qiao An lured the demons away, Sun Heng suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "Wait, I'll rescue you right away."

He took out various magical artifacts, attempting to break the formation that trapped them.

"I have a formation-breaking talisman in my storage bag."

Chu Yeli instructed him to place the formation-breaking talismans in the corresponding positions.

Everyone else was on tenterhooks, worried that the demons might suddenly return.

Nie Xushuang looked in the direction Qiao An had left, praying that she could get away soon.

Sun Heng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay..."

"Sun Heng!"

A long sword pierced his chest, and hot blood splattered onto the faces of his disciples.

Sun Heng spat out a mouthful of blood. He moved his fingers, about to form a hand seal. He was just one last step away from saving everyone.

I can already picture the scene of rescuing everyone. Once they break the formation trapping them, they can join forces to repel the demons. They are the most prized disciples, how could they possibly deal with mere demons...

"Cough cough..."

Blood gushed out, and the long sword stuck in his body churned inside his abdomen.

"what--"

it hurts--

It really hurts—

"Just ants."

The person behind him scoffed and suddenly drew his sword.

Sun Heng collapsed to the ground uncontrollably; he was still alive, but it was as if he were dead.

No, my brother and the others...

"Sun Heng—"

Sun Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour the person behind him alive.

When Sun Heng saw Sun Yuan inside, his long-standing closeness with his elder brother made him instinctively want to get closer.

He used his last bit of strength to crawl toward Sun Yuan.

"Brother...live on..."

The female demon lifted her foot and stepped over his corpse, shattering his monocle with a single stomp.

She looked down at the crowd with disdain: "Nothing special."

"Oh? You caught him?"

The demons brought back Joan, who was covered in blood.

"Qiao An—"

Before everyone could recover from Sun Heng's death, Qiao An was dragged back after his tendons in his hands and feet were severed.

"Cough cough cough..."

Joan was still awake, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

She is most afraid of pain, and right now, she feels like she's living a life worse than death.

The witch, holding a sword, grabbed her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

"I'm asking you, where are the other direct disciples?"

Joan's eyes were unfocused, but when she met the demon's gaze, her eyes regained a moment of clarity. She grinned and spat a mouthful of blood onto the demon's face: "Dream on!"

The witch threw her to the ground and viciously stomped on the wound on her hand: "Tell me, and I might spare your life."

"Qiao An!"

Nie Xushuang struggled to stand up, but was blocked by the formation, and the ropes binding her hands were chafed raw.

"No, no, all the disciples are here, let her go!"

Nie Xushuang collapsed, banging her head against the barrier: "Let her go! We're all here! Let her go!"

You're lying.

Those scarlet eyes stared straight at her, sending chills down her spine.

Nie Xushuang didn't care about anything else: "I'm not lying, all of our close disciples are here..."

"Heh." Before Nie Xushuang could finish speaking, a bucket of cold water was poured over her. The female demon said, word by word, "Do you think we didn't investigate how many people you brought before we came?"

Nie Xushuang lost all her strength and knelt blankly on the ground: "You let her go, she doesn't know."

"Oh? Do you know?"

The female demon stepped up to Nie Xushuang and used her sword to lift her chin: "Tell me, where are they? If you can help us catch them, I'll consider releasing you and your junior sister."

Nie Xushuang did lie; many of her close associates were still on the run, but she couldn't possibly betray them.

"I do not know either."

Once she calmed down, Nie Xushuang remained composed and looked directly at the arrogant demon: "We are direct disciples of the five major sects. If anything happens to us, do you think the five major sects will let you off the hook?"

"so what?"

The female demon didn't care at all: "If we capture you, do you think the five major sects would dare to make a move?"

Nie Xushuang's pupils trembled; so this was their purpose.

"Senior sister..."

"Oh, still alive." The female demon's attention was drawn to it. "You're in so much pain, let me help you."

"Do not--"

Qiao An's screams, along with Nie Xushuang's wails, echoed through the sky.

Luo Zai Shui gripped her sword tightly, closed her eyes in pain, and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she had regained her usual cold demeanor: "Patriarch Wen, things are like this now, don't you plan to save people?"

Everyone saw that a close relative was in trouble. If the Wen family still doesn't agree to save him now, then the Wen family will no longer be respected by the people.

The Wen family patriarch seemed unconcerned: "You think you can break this formation?"

Luo Zai Shui still hadn't received a reply from Xie Jing, and given her current state, she wasn't sure what to do.

"Where is my master? Where are the other sect elders?"

Luo Zai Shui no longer cared about etiquette; all she wanted was to break the formation quickly and rescue the person. Every minute of delay meant more danger.

How would I know?

The Wen family patriarch shrugged: "No one can break the formation right now, so you, a junior, shouldn't force yourself. We'll figure something out."

Luo Zai Shui turned around and walked to the front of the formation: "I am Xie Jing's disciple, so naturally I am no worse than him."

"Wow, it's quite lively here."

A wave of oppressive force descended, and Luo Zai Shui nearly lost his footing.

"Oh no, they're demons!"

A powerful surge of demonic energy swept across the entire arena, and Luo Zai Shui, unable to withstand it, knelt on one knee.

The head of the Wen family glanced at her indifferently, then turned and walked onto the stage.

"You audacious demon, you have dared to invade my human territory! Why don't you dare show yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of black wind swept by, and a group of demons appeared in front of them.

"The Demon Lord? How could he be here!"

Luo was startled, but she didn't stop what she was doing.

Luo Zai Shui, who was in the void, was also very anxious. Breaking the formation of the secret realm was not difficult, as Xie Jing had taught her a long time ago. However, she was worried that her body was not strong enough to support her in breaking the formation. Moreover, where had her master and the others gone, and why hadn't they appeared yet?

"I wonder what the Demon Lord's intention is in sending people to disrupt our clan's grand competition?"

The Demon Lord's greedy gaze swept over everyone present: "I was merely thinking that since I haven't interacted with the human race for many years, I wanted to send a junior to spar with them. I have no ill intentions."

"No malicious intent? You beat our children like this without any malicious intent?"

The Demon Lord glanced at the person speaking below the stage, and that person immediately shut up and pretended to be a quail.

The Wen family patriarch jumped straight to the point: "What will it take for the Demon Lord to release them?"

The Demon Lord smirked smugly: "We're all friends. I've come here with only one purpose: Dongying City. Anyway, that place is deserted, isn't it? Why not let the demons thrive there?"

While busy breaking the formation, Luo Zai Shui also paid attention to the commotion over there. Words like Dongying City and the Luo family reached her ears, but she had no time to pay attention to them.
