Yellow Court Daoist

This day.

Lu Qingfeng was still engrossed in Yuan Gui City.

Suddenly,

Boom!

From the deep sea, the void collapsed abruptly, and a black hole emerged.

"Uh?"

Lu Qingfeng looked up and through the black hole, saw monstrous creatures diving down. These creatures had wings, four claws, and sharp mouthparts, which Lu Qingfeng recognized as the road-blocking demons encountered by Master Mu Yang during his ascension half a year ago.

"I spread out Daoist Soldiers but couldn't find these demons; instead, they found this place first."

The Dutian Ghost General and Xuanming Yin Soldiers have been roaming outside the Three Mountains and Nine Waters for nearly half a year. The void knows no distance, a vast expanse without bounds. Searching blindly like headless flies, they found nothing after half a year.

Instead, the demons found them first.

However,

"How did these monsters happen to find where I am?"

Lu Qingfeng was puzzled.

Entering the Three Mountains and Nine Waters from the void, without coordinates, one could land anywhere within the Three Mountains and Nine Waters. Yet these demons appeared right here, which didn't seem like a coincidence.

Thinking this, his actions were swift.

"Out!"

With a thought.

Emperor Jiang, Gonggong, Ju Mang, Rushou, Xuanming, and Shebi Corpse, the Six Great Demon Gods, all leaped out and landed in front of the black hole in the void, their forms massively towering, each standing dozens of feet tall. Before the Six Great Demon Gods, these ferocious monsters appeared somewhat diminutive.

Dozens, hundreds of demons entered in a file.

Seeing Yuan Gui City below, their eyes suddenly emitted a wolf-like eerie glow. With a flap of their wings, they dived down.

"Roar!"

Seeing this, the Six Great Demon Gods roared loudly.

For a moment,

The Great Method unfolded, clashing with hundreds of demons.

Lu Qingfeng stood quietly below, his eyes flickering, focusing on each demon—

[Star Absorbing Demon Spirit: Gai E]

[Rank: Fourth Order]

[Description: Star Absorbing Demon Spirits from this race can absorb the essence of all living beings, the sun, moon, and stars, enhancing themselves, with an extremely formidable physical body, belonging to the 'Ancient Demon' lineage.]

"Star Absorbing Demon Spirit."

"Physical resilience?"

Lu Qingfeng finally knew the origin of these demons, but the origin of these Ancient Demons remained a mystery. He looked up into the sky, only to see multiple Star Absorbing Demon Spirits besieging the Six Great Demon Gods. The Gonggong Demon God controlled the water, turning it into several water dragons, roaring as they entwined around dozens of third and fourth rank Star Absorbing Demon Spirits.

With the strength of the Gonggong Demon God.

Even ordinary Primordial Spirits encountered could be easily killed. But these Star Absorbing Demon Spirits were indeed exceptional; even third-rank Star Absorbing Demon Spirits could withstand one or two breaths.

The fourth-rank was even more formidable.

Though weaker, unable to break free from the water dragons, they used their claws to tear and cause numerous waves, and their mouthparts pierced into the water dragons, making them languish at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Star Absorbing Demon Spirits!"

"Can even absorb the essence of sorcery?!"

Lu Qingfeng was startled.

Half a year ago, in the void, it was only a momentary encounter; he only knew about the physical resilience of these demons, but had not realized their fierce might.

"Throw them in!"

Pleased with what he saw, Lu Qingfeng hurriedly took out the 'Upper Origin Eight Sceneries Tower' from his sleeve, throwing it into the void where it expanded and transformed into an eighty-eight feet tall structure, spanning across the deep sea.

"Roar!"

The Six Great Demon Gods, hearing Lu Qingfeng's command, began to move.

The Gonggong Demon God controlled myriad waters, the water dragons entwining and throwing dozens of third-rank and fourth-rank Star Absorbing Demon Spirits into the Upper Origin Eight Sceneries Tower.

Lu Qingfeng performed the Seal Technique,

sealing them in the 'Golden Dawn Realm' on the first layer, where thousands of Sword Qi formed an array to suppress the demon spirits.

The Emperor Jiang Demon God swung his six legs, causing dozens of third and fourth-rank demons to fall uncontrollably into the Eight Sceneries Tower.

Lu Qingfeng sealed them in the 'Thunder Realm' on the second layer.

Then,

Ju Mang, Rushou, Xuanming, Shebi Corpse, the Four Great Demon Gods, easily captured dozens of Star Absorbing Demon Spirits each, throwing them into the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth layers of the Eight Sceneries Tower to suppress them.

In the blink of an eye,

The hundreds of Star Absorbing Demon Spirits that surged from the void were either killed or captured, leaving the deep sea empty.

Lu Qingfeng stared into the void outside.

He saw a Star Absorbing Demon Spirit far larger than the fourth-rank demons sprawled across, its eyes cold and indifferent, showing disdain for life, staring straight at Lu Qingfeng.

[Star Absorbing Demon Spirit: Gai Zhi]

[Rank: Fifth Order]

[Description: A chieftain of the Star Absorbing Demon Spirit race, commanding three thousand demon spirits, appointed to patrol the Ninth Nine Nether Realm, Seventh Battle Domain, 103rd Battle Zone, accidentally passing through the Seventh Battle Domain's Nine Nether defense lines, wandered to this place. Attracted by 'Yuan Gui City', detected the location of the Mountain and Water Realm.]

"So it was because of Yuan Gui City."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes suddenly revealed an understanding.

Yuan Gui City had sunk into the Three Mountains and Nine Waters for countless years until forty years ago when it was found by Gui Mountain Old Mother, and refined more than ten years ago. It seems that after Yuan Gui City was refined, unusual auras leaked, accidentally discovered by these Star Absorbing Demon Spirits.

Searching in all directions.

Half a year ago, during Master Mu Yang's ascension, he happened to encounter a small group of Star Absorbing Demon Spirits searching for Yuan_gui City and was attacked. Moreover, Master Mu Yang's ascension fully exposed the location of the Three Mountains and Nine Waters and Yuan Gui City, and a few days ago, Lu Qingfeng re-refined Yuan Gui City.

Today, the Star Absorbing Demon Spirits finally determined the location of Yuan Gui City and launched a full-scale attack.

"..."

With a clear mind, Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Blessings rely on misfortunes, and misfortunes lurk within blessings.

This saying really holds true.

Gui Mountain Old Mother obtained Yuan Gui City, thinking it was a great opportunity for her, but little did she know, encountering Lu Qingfeng, she was directly killed. Even without Lu Qingfeng, when these Star Absorbing Demon Spirits arrived, with Gui Mountain Old Mother's strength and the dilapidated state of Yuan Gui City, it seems she would have struggled to withstand it.
