A sudden change occurred.
The imperial might of the Demon Refining Pot abruptly converged. Immediately afterwards, the little white fox spurted blood from her mouth.
“Pfft!”
The next second, the little white fox plummeted from the void.
Ye Qiu jumped in fright. He rushed forward quickly and caught the little white fox in his arms.
At this moment, the little white fox’s face was deathly pale, with blood continuously spraying from her mouth.
Seeing this scene, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable laughed loudly. “Truly, the heavens help me.”
“Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, you are injured. Forcibly activating an imperial artefact is courting death.”
“It seems today is your death anniversary.”
After speaking, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable reached out with his large hand, grasping towards the Demon Refining Pot.
“Come back.” The little white fox shouted sternly. The Demon Refining Pot evaded the Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s palm and instantly returned above the little white fox’s head.
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s eyes turned cold. Then he smiled. “After I kill you, this demon race imperial artefact will be mine.”
“By the way, does your demon race not have many powerhouses? Where have they gone?”
“Call them all out. Save me the trouble of killing them one by one and wasting time.”
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable spoke with complete confidence.
“Do not be arrogant. This is the Southern Ridge, home to millions of demon cultivators. Even if you are the sect master of the Yin-Yang Sect, do not think you can single-handedly destroy our demon race.” The little white fox said coldly.
“Hmph. Your so-called millions of demon cultivators are, in my eyes, nothing but a disorderly mob.”
“Since the demon race powerhouses do not appear, I will kill you first.”
As the Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s words fell, a powerful might swept out, like raging waves, crushing towards the little white fox.
“Retreat!” The little white fox grabbed Ye Qiu’s hand with one hand and the Long-Browed Real Person’s shoulder with the other, retreating rapidly.
“Stop resisting. It is all futile.” After speaking, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable pointed a finger.
Whoosh!
A stream of light pierced the void, like an incomparably sharp blade, slashing towards the little white fox.
“Boom!”
At that moment, a patch of emerald green light suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire Southern Ridge.
“Clang!”
The stream of light unleashed by the Wuji Heavenly Venerable collided with the emerald green light, like sinking into the sea without even a spark.
“The protective clan array?”
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s eyes narrowed. He recognised that this emerald green light was the demon race’s protective clan array.
“Smack!”
The Wuji Heavenly Venerable followed with a palm strike against the array. The array remained unmoved.
“Somewhat interesting.” The Wuji Heavenly Venerable chuckled lightly.
Ye Qiu and the little white fox were inside the array, temporarily safe.
At that moment, Elder Bear returned, with no wounds on his body. Presumably, he had healed using some powerful method.
“Elder Bear, are you alright?” the little white fox asked.
“I am fine.” Elder Bear replied, “This sect master of the Yin-Yang Sect is very powerful. I am no match for him.”
“However, the protective clan array has been activated. Even if he is a Saint King, he cannot enter.”
“After all, our demon race’s protective clan array was left by that Great Emperor powerhouse.”
Ye Qiu and the Long-Browed Real Person were both shocked.
They had not expected the demon race’s protective clan array to have been left by a Great Emperor powerhouse. Yet they had never heard of the demon race producing a Great Emperor.
“By the way, Lord, on this trip to the Mountain of Immortality, did you find what you were seeking?” Elder Bear asked.
The little white fox did not answer Elder Bear directly. Instead, she looked up at the Wuji Heavenly Venerable and said, “You are too optimistic.”
“The Wuji Heavenly Venerable came here not just to kill me. He wants to destroy our demon race.”
“Without sufficient confidence, he would not say such words.”
“As for this protective clan array, although left by a Great Emperor powerhouse, too much time has passed. The Wuji Heavenly Venerable may not be unable to break it.”
“Elder Bear, immediately lead the demon race to evacuate.”
“Take these two with you.” The little white fox pointed at Ye Qiu and the Long-Browed Real Person, instructing, “Elder Bear, remember this. No matter what, you must not let them come to harm.”
Elder Bear glanced at Ye Qiu and the Long-Browed Real Person. “Lord, our demon race and the human race have always been irreconcilable. Why do you want me to protect two humans?”
The little white fox pointed at Ye Qiu. “Because he obtained the supreme opportunity from the Mountain of Immortality.”
“What? The supreme opportunity was obtained by him?” Elder Bear flew into a rage. “The supreme opportunity from the Mountain of Immortality belongs to our demon race. How can it be taken by a human?”
“Lord, I will slaughter them now and seize back the opportunity…”
“Do not act recklessly.” The little white fox said, “The supreme opportunity chose him.”
Elder Bear was stunned. “How is that possible?”
“I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be false?” The little white fox replied, “Elder Bear, you know very well what the supreme opportunity means to our demon race.”
“You are the one I trust most. I entrust these two to you.”
“Protect them at all costs.”
Elder Bear said, “Please rest assured, Lord. Even if it costs my life, I will protect them.”
The little white fox nodded in satisfaction. Then she looked at Ye Qiu and smiled. “Ye Changsheng, although we have known each other for a short time, I have been very happy travelling with you.”
“Now go with Elder Bear. He will protect you.”
Ye Qiu asked, “What is the relationship between the supreme opportunity from the Mountain of Immortality and the demon race?”
The little white fox said, “You do not need to know now. When your cultivation becomes powerful in the future, you will naturally learn.”
“Then we are leaving. What about you?” Ye Qiu asked again.
“I will stay to deal with him.” The little white fox glanced at the Wuji Heavenly Venerable. “I am the lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom. I will never let him destroy the demon race.”
Ye Qiu noticed the determination in the little white fox’s eyes.
Her gaze made Ye Qiu very uneasy.
Ye Qiu said, “If we leave, we leave together. If the protective clan array cannot hold him back, you are no match for him either.”
The little white fox said, “If he breaks the protective clan array, then I will self-detonate with the Demon Refining Pot. I do not believe he can leave alive.”
Elder Bear said anxiously, “Lord, absolutely not. If you do that, you will fall too.”
The little white fox smiled. “If my life can exchange for the safety of the demon race, it is worth it. Moreover, as the lord, when the demon race faces calamity, I should naturally sacrifice myself for righteousness.”
Ye Qiu said, “I will stay with you. If we die, we die together.”
Boom!
At that moment, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable attacked.
He waved his large hand. Winds rose and clouds surged in the void, blotting out the sky. Then a terrifying force, like a breached galactic dyke, poured down in a torrent, slashing towards the protective clan array.
“Rumble rumble…”
Terrifying might, accompanied by endless rumbling sounds, lit up heaven and earth in brilliance.
Fortunately, the protective clan array stood firm, showing no damage whatsoever.
Elder Bear said, “Lord, do not be so pessimistic. Even if he is a Saint King, he cannot break the protective clan array left by a Great Emperor powerhouse.”
As soon as his words fell, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable formed seals with his hands before him. A terrifying extreme dao imperial might was released.
