Hundreds of miles away from Li Feiyu and Han Li, two streaks of Escape Light sped towards them.
Within the Escape Light, one was a white-haired Old Ancestor in a yellow robe, and the other was a beautiful woman in a cyan palace dress.
The white-haired Old Ancestor was Ancestor Linghu of Yellow Maple Valley, while the other was the current Grand Elder of Masked Moon Sect, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator.
Masked Moon Sect was the strongest among the Six Sects; their previous Grand Elder died at Han Li's hands, Nangong Wan left, and now only one remained.
She naturally became the Grand Elder of Masked Moon Sect.
However, after such a great upheaval, Masked Moon Sect's strength was far from what it used to be. Below the Nascent Soul Stage, they might still have some slight advantages, but their Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators were at the bottom among the Six Sects.
After all, the Nascent Soul Old Ancestors of the other five sects were all veteran Nascent Soul Cultivators, whom she could not compare to.
"Fellow Daoist Linghu, the one behind is Marquis Nanlong, right? What kind of ghost or evil spirit has possessed him? How did he become so terrifying?"
"I'm not too sure either, but Fellow Daoist Qing Yun, if we're not careful, we might end up like Fellow Daoist Wu, with our Nascent Soul devoured."
Qing Yun's face was pale. Recalling the scene just now, she still felt lingering fear.
If she hadn't run decisively, she might have met that fate just now.
She looked back. Tens of miles away, demonic clouds surged, sweeping with fierce winds towards them.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two were caught up.
They had no choice but to face the enemy.
"Marquis Nanlong" hovered in the air, a malevolent smile on his face. After a burst of wild laughter, he lunged at them, dragging black and red flames in his hands.
For a moment, the sky trembled, and various Aura appeared, illuminating an area of dozens of miles.
"That place is..."
After Han Li noticed the commotion, his Divine Sense swept over. Seeing the several people in combat, his expression was filled with surprise, and then he frowned deeply.
Li Feiyu naturally also noticed it.
"Marquis Nanlong? How did he turn into this ghostly appearance? He looks like he's been taken over by something."
"The Devilish Qi is chilling. Could it be an Ancient Devil's demonic soul from the Demon Realm?!"
After hearing this, Han Li's frown deepened.
And just as their Divine Sense probed, that Ancient Devil's demonic soul also discovered Li Feiyu and Han Li in the distance at the first Opportunity.
Ancestor Linghu and the others were a little late.
"Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Li, please lend us a hand!"
Ancestor Linghu shouted loudly.
Qing Yun's face was a little unnatural. After all, both individuals before her were involved in the death of their Masked Moon Sect's previous Grand Elder.
However, they were now in a perilous situation and were waiting for the other party to save their lives, so she did not say much.
Han Li saw the Ancient Devil's demonic soul grin at them and couldn't help but look at Li Feiyu, "Should we act?"
The reason Li Feiyu remained in Devilfall Valley was for Lingmiao Garden, which contained the main ingredient for the Yi Yun Pill.
Once the Yi Yun Pill was refined, by continuously consuming it, coupled with the effects of the Creation Pill from a while ago, Li Feiyu was confident that with his aptitude, he could Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late Stage in little over a decade.
If it were Han Li, even if he had the same Medicinal Pill resources, the time needed for him to Breakthrough would be two or three times longer than Li Feiyu's, if not more.
Cultivators often say that after the Nascent Soul Stage, cultivation aptitude is not of much use. The main reason for this is the lack of corresponding resources.
Li Feiyu did not want to resolve this Ancient Devil's demonic soul too quickly, or rather, he didn't care about the Ancient Devil's life or death at all.
What he wanted to do was to replicate the great battle, causing spatial disturbances, and thereby making the spatial cracks of Lingmiao Garden appear.
Although this involved an element of luck, it was not impossible to achieve.
"Junior Brother Han, why don't you make the first move? I'll observe a bit longer, then deliver a crucial blow to heavily injure him."
"Don't worry, with me backing you up, you won't be in any mortal danger."
Han Li looked at Li Feiyu with a strange expression. It was well known that Ancient Devils were terrifying and difficult to provoke. If their main body were to cross realms, he would find it troublesome, which was normal.
But the one in front was merely a demonic soul sealed in Devilfall Valley. He didn't believe Li Feiyu couldn't deal with him.
What exactly was Senior Brother Li planning?
Han Li could never have imagined that Li Feiyu simply wanted to take advantage of his Opportunity.
As Ancestor Linghu and the others rapidly approached, Han Li now had no choice but to act. He raised his hand and sent out several cyan Flying Swords.
The Flying Swords flickered with faint golden lightning arcs. The demonic soul on the opposite side, upon seeing this Divine Thunder, immediately changed its expression and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to possess a golden thunder bamboo Magic Treasure, which once gave us so much trouble."
"Has it not gone extinct yet?"
"Is Your Excellency very disappointed?"
Han Li spoke while simultaneously urging the Divine Devilbane Lightning to attack.
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul opened its mouth and spewed out a black and red flame, blocking the Divine Devilbane Lightning. Han Li's heart was slightly startled.
The Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword trembled lightly, emitting a clear sword cry, and then the sword light split, all striking towards the opponent.
Li Feiyu saw Ancestor Linghu and the others standing by and couldn't help but say, "Are you two planning to watch from the sidelines?"
Upon hearing Li Feiyu's voice, their hearts trembled. After exchanging glances, they also joined the battle.
Even facing the attacks of three people, the Ancient Devil's demonic soul still appeared to be at ease, dedicating a portion of its Divine Sense to observe Li Feiyu.
"Only a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, yet he can make the others obey? Is his strength extraordinary?"
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul was secretly vigilant, in case Li Feiyu launched a sudden attack.
Of course, if it were one-on-one, he was confident he could kill him, but now facing four Nascent Soul Cultivators, he had to be careful.
After being sealed for tens of thousands of years, he finally saw the light of day again.
He did not want to die carelessly at the hands of these humans.
After clashing, he discovered that among those fighting him, the Old Ancestor and the woman were of average strength, and their Divine Abilities were also ordinary. However, the one with the golden thunder bamboo Magic Treasure, though only in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, possessed considerable Divine Abilities and techniques, subtly giving him no small amount of pressure.
But what made him most wary was Li Feiyu, who was observing from the side.
The unknown is what is most terrifying.
He had largely figured out the strength of the other Cultivators, leaving only the bystander.
Suddenly, the Ancient Devil's demonic soul concealed its form and disappeared.
Ancestor Linghu and Qing Yun looked around anxiously, protecting themselves with Magic Treasures.
As for Han Li, after sweeping with his Divine Sense and finding nothing, he opened his Spirit Eyes. With a flash of blue light, he looked around.
Although he couldn't see very clearly, he did detect the demonic soul's trace.
At this moment, it was not far behind Li Feiyu.
"Brother Li, be careful, it's behind you!"
Han Li shot a faint golden lightning arc, as thick as a bowl, from his palm towards the Ancient Devil's demonic soul.
Li Feiyu's lips curved into a smile, and his figure suddenly vanished.
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul was suddenly startled, revealing its form. A mass of black and red demonic flame shot out from its mouth, colliding with the Divine Devilbane Lightning.
With a soft "puff," the demonic flame and Divine Thunder, like fire and water, simultaneously turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
"You can actually see through this Devil's concealment technique? What Divine Ability is that?"
Han Li naturally wouldn't answer.
Having failed in its sneak attack, the Ancient Devil's demonic soul glanced at Li Feiyu. Seeing that he had no intention of fighting for a short while, it rushed towards Han Li.
Seeing this, Han Li's wind and fire spiritual power erupted, and his figure flickered, suddenly disappearing from his original spot.
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul sneered, and its figure likewise receded from everyone's sight.
Watching Han Li and the Ancient Devil's demonic soul appear and disappear, moving at astonishing speeds, Ancestor Linghu and Qing Yun were dumbfounded and exchanged glances.
It was rumored that Han Li possessed great Divine Abilities, but only now, witnessing it firsthand, did they realize there was no exaggeration, and he was even stronger than rumored.
After all, his opponent was an Ancient Devil from the Demon Realm. Even if it wasn't its true body descending, its Divine Abilities and methods were unimaginable to Human Realm Cultivators.
Han Li patted his Spirit Beast pouch, and the next moment, thousands of Gold Devouring Bugs formed a golden insect cloud, buzzing as they rushed towards the Ancient Devil's demonic soul.
Sensing the powerful aura of the Gold Devouring Bugs, he dared not underestimate them. He condensed a ghostly claw, which burned with a grayish-white flame, and swiped at the insect cloud in the air. Most of the Gold Devouring Bugs couldn't dodge in time and were caught in his hand.
At this moment, Ancestor Linghu and Qing Yun seized the Opportunity and launched their attacks.
A five-colored light pillar and a misty white circular ring flew towards the Ancient Devil's demonic soul.
Han Li also shot out Divine Devilbane Lightning and Celestial Ice Flame.
Both were not to be underestimated in power. The Ancient Devil's demonic soul had to deal with them carefully, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
However, what surprised him was that Han Li had used the Divine Devilbane Lightning many times, yet it never seemed to run out.
Boom ~
The ghostly claw in the air exploded, but from within the flames, a golden insect cloud flew out unharmed, which greatly astonished the Ancient Devil's demonic soul.
He frowned, feeling that Han Li's several methods were all incredibly troublesome.
"I didn't expect you to have so many Divine Abilities. It seems it's unlikely to devour your Nascent Soul with ordinary means. In that case, I can only kill you to eliminate future troubles!"
"Anyway, this body is only temporarily borrowed."
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul took a deep breath. A dark, misty Devilish Qi suddenly erupted from his body, and at the same time, his bones made strange cracking sounds.
His figure suddenly grew several feet taller, and his back neck and shoulders began to bulge, as if something was about to burst out.
The three once again unleashed their Divine Abilities and launched attacks.
Qing Yun and Ancestor Linghu's attacks, upon encountering the black demonic light on the Ancient Devil's demonic soul's body, dissipated into nothingness. As for the Divine Devilbane Lightning and Celestial Ice Flame, the Ancient Devil dared not let them get close.
Its figure flickered, and it flew away.
Everyone's eyes flashed, and they followed closely.
Not long after, an angry roar came from within the Devilish Qi, a sound filled with pain. Then a whirlwind swept up, and all the black Qi dissipated, revealing the figure of "Marquis Nanlong."
At this moment, he was almost no longer human-shaped, with two heads and four arms, purple scales appearing on his skin, several inches of white horns growing on his forehead, a green face with fangs, black lips, and eyes like a Demon Beast, flashing with cold light.
This form was indistinguishable from a monster.
Ancestor Linghu and Qing Yun were both shocked, and instinctively launched attacks.
Who knew that the head that grew out of the demonic soul's back opened its mouth and spewed out a black liquid, which enveloped the circular ring. The ring immediately lost much of its Aura.
Ancestor Linghu sensed that his connection with the ancient treasure had been forcibly severed, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning pale.
The circular Magic Treasure, after being polluted and demonized, was taken into his hand, becoming his demonic treasure.
Li Feiyu, seeing this familiar form, instantly recalled the three-headed, six-armed demons on the Fan Sheng True Scroll. He felt there should be a connection between the two.
Just then, Li Feiyu made his move. A dark green Divine Thunder struck down on its head.
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul raised both hands, actually blocking it with its Physical Body.
Li Feiyu's eyes flickered, what a truly powerful Physical Body, perfect for refining Puppets!
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul's palm that blocked the Yi Wood Divine Thunder was now bloody and indistinct, but it was rapidly recovering.
He sneered coldly, "The Divine Thunder's power is good, it can even injure me, but that's all it is."
"Then take another one of my strikes!"
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul thought it was still the same Divine Thunder as before, so it raised its other pair of arms, with black light swirling around its palms and a chilling Devilish Qi.
Unfortunately, what descended this time was a golden Divine Thunder, not the dark green one. The Ancient Devil sensed the familiar aura of the Divine Devilbane Lightning. It was too late to dodge, so it could only let out an angry roar and activate black and red demonic flames to resist.
What he didn't expect was that Li Feiyu's Divine Devilbane Lightning was a notch stronger than Han Li's.
The pure golden Divine Thunder directly scattered the demonic flames and landed on his arm.
With two "puffs," both arms of the Ancient Devil's demonic soul exploded, and even its demonic body was significantly affected, its aura dropping considerably.
Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, and he thought in surprise, "Senior Brother Li's Divine Devilbane Lightning is actually much stronger than mine. Does he have a special method for cultivating golden thunder bamboo?"
"You actually also have Divine Devilbane Lightning, and why is your Divine Thunder so much stronger than that brat's!"
"How is this possible!"
The Ancient Devil's demonic soul roared and howled in fury, while also filled with extreme dread.
Looking around, the other three also showed signs of closing in. He was enraged, and his body transformed into a black light, soaring into the sky and directly fleeing into the distance.
Li Feiyu's lips curved upwards, "Everyone, this Ancient Devil, having just escaped, already possesses such strength. If he devours some Nascent Souls and recovers his power, I'm afraid it will be a great disaster for Heavenly South. So, we cannot let him escape."
Ancestor Linghu and Qing Yun nodded, pursuing the Ancient Devil's demonic soul. Han Li glanced at Li Feiyu, then followed closely.
A moment later, an angry roar suddenly came from the sky. The Ancient Devil's demonic soul's expression changed, and it immediately changed direction, flying towards the source of the sound.
Li Feiyu and the others followed. They saw a large expanse of black-purple clouds appearing in the high sky in the distance, while below was a green cloud several acres in size, slowly rotating, looking quite eerie.
The two collided, and a rumbling sound continuously echoed from the middle.
"The aura emanating from the black-purple clouds over there is exactly the same as the Ancient Devil's demonic soul we just faced. Their relationship is not shallow, perhaps it's a main Primordial Spirit and Second Primordial Spirit relationship."
Li Feiyu said with a faint smile, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Wei Wuya and the others to also encounter an Ancient Devil. Their luck doesn't seem to be too good either."
Ancestor Linghu looked at the situation there, swallowed, and looked at Li Feiyu, hesitating, "Fellow Daoist Li, I think we should still..."
"No problem, but if the Ancient Devil escapes and hunts down scattered Nascent Soul Cultivators, leading to your own demise, don't blame me for not warning you."
Li Feiyu spoke calmly, but to Ancestor Linghu and the others, it was full of threats, sending shivers down their spines.
"Besides, with Fellow Daoist Wei and I as the main force, you're just assisting. What's there to fear?"
"The battle here is immense and will attract surrounding Cultivators sooner or later. The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it is for us."
Li Feiyu looked at Han Li. Han Li understood Li Feiyu's meaning and feigned a hesitant expression, thinking for a moment before saying, "Brother Li makes sense. If we don't take advantage of the current crowd to eliminate them, once they recover and leave Devilfall Valley, coming to us one by one, it might lead to the destruction of our sects."
"Therefore, I am willing to go with Brother Li to exterminate the Devil."
Li Feiyu nodded, then looked at the other two. They showed bitter expressions and could only cup their hands and say, "We too are willing to help exterminate the Devil."
