Chapter 34 Who is the prey?
Hua Yunfei, Xia Chengyan, and the others moved simultaneously, rushing towards Yan Ruyu, intending to attack her.
Before the group could even reach the island, one massive array after another emerged from the island, protecting the demon race members inside.
The demon race was clearly prepared in this place.
"Kill!" Several powerful demons charged out, and a forbidden artifact exploded, its immense power tearing a hole in the Yao Guang Holy Land's formation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, several powerful demons immediately rushed out.
The faces of the leading half-step Great Powers darkened; they hadn't expected the demon race to possess such a powerful forbidden artifact.
However, they were not worried. The demons here were just there to be used as bait, and they hoped that the demons could hold out for a while longer.
"You dare kill my Holy Land's candidate for Holy Son? You will all be buried with him!"
"A half-step Great Power said coldly."
Hua Yunfei was speechless. The Yao Guang Holy Land actually blamed the demon race for this.
But thinking about it, it makes sense, since the two are in an adversarial relationship.
The small island, spanning dozens of miles, was now completely exposed in the lake, having lost the protection of the magic array.
There are approximately two thousand demons in this area, currently scattered across the island, defending themselves with the help of a magic array.
Thousands of cultivators from the Yao Guang Holy Land surrounded the island, their numbers several times that of the demon race.
At this moment, several half-step powerful beings pretended to send people to hunt down the fleeing great demon.
He then directed everyone to break the formation, making it seem as if he wanted to wipe out all the demons in the area.
Hua Yunfei frowned as he looked at the small island in front of him.
He felt like something was off.
He knew that the Azure Dragon King's lair was a hidden little world.
That was a space created by ancient sages; logically, Yan Ruyu and the others should have been there.
He thought to himself that if Yan Ruyu really couldn't escape today, he would find an opportunity to use the Devouring Demon Jar to create chaos and give her a chance.
After all, she was the true owner of the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon and the person Hua Yunfei wanted to ally with; she couldn't die so easily.
However, there was no time to think about it at the moment. He followed the others and joined in breaking the formation.
For a time, the two sides fought fiercely here.
In the midst of the fierce battle, a loud voice suddenly appeared.
"Heh heh, a bait I casually laid out actually caught a fish!"
As the voice rang out, boundless array patterns appeared around the great lake, and a massive magic array emerged, trapping everyone in the Yao Guang Holy Land within it.
At the same time, the void above the island cracked open, and several terrifying figures with soaring demonic energy emerged.
"King Qingjiao!"
"The Peacock King!"
"The Crimson Dragon Taoist!"
A half-step Great Power from the Yao Guang Holy Land stared intently at the three figures in front of him.
"What happened?"
"Damn it, we've been tricked!"
"The demon race deliberately lured us here!"
Thousands of Yao Guang disciples were thrown into chaos; no one had expected things to turn out this way.
A near-powerful cultivator stared at the three demon kings, asking incredulously, "How did you all end up here?"
He immediately realized what was happening, looked at the illuminated magic array around him, and abruptly turned to Yan Ruyu, saying, "What a brilliant plan!"
For a moment, the four half-step great powers from the Yao Guang Holy Land were all grim-faced.
They planned to use Yan Ruyu's status among the demons to infiltrate their territory, unaware that the other party had the same idea.
The Peacock King looked exceptionally young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old.
At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back and said to the distance, "You two in the shadows, come out. The magic array is complete, and you have nowhere to escape."
"snort!"
Two cold snorts rang out in succession, and the figures of two powerful beings appeared, confronting the Peacock King and others from a distance.
"Supreme Elder!"
"Eleventh Supreme Being, Twelfth Supreme Being!"
"Fortunately, with two Grand Elders here, the situation shouldn't be too bad..."
The thousands of Yao Guang disciples were overjoyed to see their two powerful figures appear, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.
These two powerful figures were sent by the Yao Guang Holy Land as a precaution, in case there were powerful figures among the demons in the area.
Unexpectedly, they themselves are now in dire straits.
Looking at the array patterns that lit up around him, the Eleventh Elder said bitterly, "An incomplete Saint-level array..."
"Good eye!"
The Azure Dragon King, dressed in azure robes, appeared to be about thirty-four years old. He had two dragon horns on his head and exuded an imposing aura.
He stared at the two powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land and said with a faint smile, "If it weren't for the incomplete Saint-level array patterns here, we wouldn't have chosen this place as your grave."
"Two powerful figures, nearly five thousand disciples and followers, and several reclusive disciples whose status is not much lower than that of the Holy Son are enough to cripple the Yao Guang Holy Land."
At this moment, Hua Yunfei below was completely numb.
These powerful demons are indeed ancient beings who have lived for thousands of years; they are scheming at every turn!
His face was dark with frustration. Damn Yao Guang Holy Land! This is too careless!
They were actually surrounded by the demon race! And he was dragged into it as well.
If it weren't for the Devouring Demon Jar in hand, Hua Yunfei would surely be just as uneasy as the other Yao Guang disciples.
They were afraid that the demons would also mistake him for a disciple of Yao Guang and kill him on the spot!
He pondered a solution, but being inside a Saint-level formation, the situation was very unfavorable for him.
We can't expect him to reveal his identity and shout to the Peacock King and the others: "I'm different, I'm not with the Yao Guang Holy Land!"
If they really did that, in this kind of environment, do you think these powerful demons would kill him and take the Devouring Demon Jar, or cooperate with him?
This is something you can't gamble on; human nature can't withstand the test!
Hua Yunfei pondered for a moment and chose to observe for the time being, without making any rash moves.
At worst, he could use the Devouring Demon Jar to escape during the chaos.
Even with a damaged Saint-level magic array, he could still escape if caught off guard.
"Where is your Holy Lord? Why didn't he come? Did he go to cause trouble for us?" It was the Red Dragon Taoist who spoke.
This old demon, who has lived for over three thousand years, possesses terrifyingly powerful abilities.
If the current environment were not unsuitable for cultivation, and if it weren't so difficult to break through to the Dao, he would have already reached the Saint realm.
Upon hearing this, the Twelfth Supreme Elder of Yaoguang gave a bitter smile.
The Crimson Dragon Taoist was right.
In their original plan, they had grasped the general whereabouts of the Peacock King and others, and wanted to use Yan Ruyu's safety to carry out their scheme.
When the Peacock King and his men learned of the news and came to rescue Yan Ruyu, they set up an ambush on their inevitable route, catching the demon race off guard.
But right now, those demon kings haven't even left their homes; they're right here.
"I noticed you deliberately let our people go earlier. If I'm not mistaken, you were planning to attack us while we were on our way to rescue them, right?"
The Peacock King smiled and asked the two Supreme Elders in front of him.
Then, speaking to himself, he said, "A few days ago, our clones went to the vicinity of Tianshi Mountain, from Tianshi Mountain to here... Hmm, you wouldn't choose to ambush us in Luanhun Valley, would you?"
Seeing the extremely gloomy faces of the Eleventh and Twelfth Supreme Elders, the Peacock King laughed heartily, his full head of black hair moving without wind. He knew he had guessed correctly.
The Valley of Chaotic Souls mentioned by the Peacock King is an ancient battlefield where many terrifying formations remain.
Many of these grand formations are still in operation today, their terrifying power disrupting the surrounding area for tens of thousands of miles.
Even if one were to traverse the void and pass through this place, it would manifest itself.
Crossing the void from Tianshi Mountain to this place, they would pass through Luanhun Valley, so the Holy Lord of Yaoguang personally led the other powerful figures of Yaoguang to wait there.
Little did they know that these powerful demons were not anywhere else; everything before was just a smokescreen they had set up.
