"What are these brats trying to do?" City Lord Mei muttered to himself as he stared at the mirror.
These juniors were not ordinary Core Formation cultivators and needed to be more careful. However, he found it interesting to see how busy they were inside the Lost Cave. He couldn't help but want to see how far they could go.
In any case, up until now, everything was still under his control.
He already knew that they wanted to break the restriction, but he didn't think much of it.
It wasn't difficult to repair a single node of the restriction. Once the restriction was broken and someone escaped from the Lost Cave, he would immediately capture that person and feed him to the original devil!
Hmph, no matter how strong a few Core Formation cultivators were, he didn't need to worry about them. Although the difference between Core Formation and Nascent Soul was only one level, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Right now, the progress of the Lost Cave was still under his control.
He already knew what these people were trying to do, so he naturally prepared for it.
However, as he watched, one of the brats puzzled him.
Rather than calling it a brat, it was actually a girl. When Elder Liang brought the two girls back to the City Lord Residence, he discovered this.
However, this wasn't a big deal. It wasn't strange for a girl to disguise herself as a man.
However, he was still a little surprised. Although these two girls had ordinary cultivations, they had quite a number of Spiritual Treasures on them. They did not look like ordinary cultivators. Furthermore, their performance in the Disorienting Cave was indeed remarkable.
If it wasn't for the fact that these two cultivated Dao techniques and had nothing to do with him, he would've taken them in as disciples.
But now, the girl dressed as a man was blocking his original devil, as if she wanted to do something.
What could she do?
Could it be that they still didn't understand their situation?
All attacks that involved spiritual energy and demonic energy were useless against the original devil. Even if the original devil's aura was temporarily dispersed, it could quickly recover.
They had nowhere to run inside the Lost Cave.
Logically, City Lord Mei didn't think that the girl could do anything. However, when he thought of this, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
He rubbed his brows and thought to himself, "Is this an illusion?"
They were just a few Core Formation cultivators. With him personally watching over them, what kind of accident could happen?
However, in the next moment, he abruptly stood up, and his face turned pale. "How could this be!"
His reaction shocked the surrounding Descending Star City Core Formation cultivators.
Elder Liang hurriedly came forward and called out in fear, "City Lord …"
However, City Lord Mei didn't pay any attention to him. She snorted coldly and threw the mirror in her hand to the ground. Then, she shook her sleeves and flew towards the teleportation array. In an instant, she disappeared into the teleportation array.
Elder Liang was puzzled as he watched City Lord Mei disappear. Then, he lowered his head to look at the mirror. When he saw the scene in the mirror, an incomparably shocked expression appeared on his face. "This …"
In the mirror, Nie Wushang's entire body was shrouded by a black aura. This black aura was very different from devil aura, as if it had a life of its own and was surging nonstop.
Just this scene alone wasn't something to be surprised about. Perhaps this Tian Can was just a demonic cultivator who had concealed himself extremely well.
But what made Elder Liang incredulous was that the Primal Demon, which Core Formation cultivators like them didn't dare to approach, actually moved back in fear when it saw her.
How was this possible?
Elder Liang was endlessly shocked.
He was the number one confidant of the City Lord. He was very clear about the process in which the City Lord obtained a new cultivation technique and created the Primal Demon. This thing had completely surpassed the concept of demonic cultivators in this day and age. It was far more advanced than the devil aura on their bodies.
Because of this, the devil aura on the City Lord's body was gradually restrained. It had reached the realm where it could be released from his heart.
If one didn't cultivate a special cultivation technique like the City Lord, they would be swallowed the moment they got close to it, let alone control it!
But what he saw in front of him clearly wasn't the case.
The City Lord had nurtured this Primal Demon for so long. If it could swallow all these Core Formation cultivators, it would be able to help the City Lord reach the heavens in a single step. But now, it was actually being absorbed by someone else!
The more Elder Liang thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Cold sweat dripped down uncontrollably.
The reason why they dared to do such a thing was because they had no other choice but to swear loyalty to the City Lord. It was also because this plan was meticulous. If it succeeded, they would be like dogs and chickens rising to the heavens if they followed the City Lord!
But now?
If the Primal Demon was swallowed by someone else, could the City Lord's plan still be realized?
If the City Lord couldn't advance to become a peak-level warrior, how long could Descending Star City survive?
Almost all of these people were brought into the City Lord's residence by him. Although there were some who didn't have any background, there were many who had strong backing!
At least it involved the major sects in Eastern Tang and one of the three demon territories in Northern Lin Kingdom!
As an Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, the City Lord might be able to give up everything and escape. But what about the Core Formation cultivators?
Could they escape the pursuit of the major sects and the demon territories?
"Brother Liang, what's wrong?"
Seeing the City Lord leave in a rage and noticing his abnormal behavior, the other elders of Descending Star City who were standing slightly further away were slightly terrified. They moved closer and asked softly.
Elder Liang wiped the sweat off his face and shook his head, "Nothing."
He didn't dare to say anything now. It was still unknown whether or not the City Lord would be able to subdue these Core Formation cultivators. If the City Lord succeeded in the end and they escaped in advance, then the City Lord wouldn't let them go.
At this point, for the sake of his own life and future, he could only hope that the City Lord could stop this matter and subdue all these Core Formation cultivators!
"Ignorant junior!"
A shout resounded in the cave. The voice was full of anger. Next, the eight people felt a powerful aura rushing towards them.
Yong Ruyu was the first to panic. "This is …" The aura of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator actually appeared here!
Jianxin paused for a moment then shouted sternly, "Continue!"
"But …" Yong Ruyu's heart was in a mess. "There's a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator here, how could we …"
"Pa!"
With a crisp sound, a strong wind hit Yong Ruyu's cheek. Jianxin said angrily, "If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish right now!"
"Senior Martial Brother!" Qiu Chengruo cried out in fear and rushed forward.
Jianxin coldly glanced at her then continued to attack the restriction.
That Nascent Soul Realm cultivator's main target wasn't them — they still had a chance to live!
Of course, if these two people couldn't accomplish anything and caused everyone to be unable to get out, he didn't mind killing them right now!
When City Lord Mei's thin figure appeared in front of the two of them, Nie Wushang was already speechless.
Right now, her whole body was wrapped in black aura, and the Primordial Devil Aura in her body was extremely powerful. Even her spiritual aura was completely swallowed by the Primordial Devil Aura.
Mo Tiange couldn't tell whether she swallowed the Primordial Devil Aura or was swallowed by the Primordial Devil Aura.
But Nie Wushang definitely wouldn't be able to move for a while.
What should they do now?
Seeing that Primordial Devil Aura had already merged with Nie Wushang, City Lord Mei was so angry that she trembled. Her youthful face twisted as she glared at the two of them fiercely. "You two actually ruined my painstaking efforts!"
Right after she said that, she threw a punch at the stone wall, smashing it into pieces!
The whole cave shook along with City Lord Mei's movements. Jianxin saw a flash of light on the restriction, and his face was filled with joy. "Hurry up! The restriction will be broken soon!" City Lord Mei's angry action just now happened to give them a helping hand!
Without much time to think, Mo Tiange waved the White Silk Handkerchief and stood in front of City Lord Mei. She then quietly put Nie Wushang behind her.
She knew she couldn't defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator, but at this moment, it was impossible for her to ignore Nie Wushang.
Nie Wushang trusted her. Mo Tiange clearly knew that after absorbing the Primordial Devil Aura, she would lose her ability for a while, but she still did it.
Mo Tiange didn't want to betray this kind of trust.
City Lord Mei stared at the two of them and revealed an evil smile. "What? You still want to be my enemy?
Hmph! Overestimating your capabilities! "
Mo Tiange was very calm. She always had this kind of ability — the more dangerous the situation was, the calmer she became.
Holding her magic weapon in her hand, she looked straight at City Lord Mei and said with a flat tone, "It's not that we want to be enemies with City Lord Mei, but City Lord Mei schemed against me first. Our lives are at stake, so even if our strength is inferior, we can only fight!"
City Lord Mei was stunned when she heard what she said. She then raised her head and laughed loudly. "Only fight!
You, little girl, are really interesting. Unfortunately, no matter how interesting you are, I can only feed you to the Primordial Devil Aura! "Once he finished speaking, he fiercely glared at Nie Wushang." Hmph!
You want to swallow my Primordial Devil Aura?
Dream on!
I'm going to eat you too! "
City Lord Mei waved her sleeves and walked towards them with large strides.
A Nascent Soul cultivator against a Core Formation cultivator was a battle without any suspense, so City Lord Mei wasn't worried at all. What he was worried about was whether he could get his Primordial Devil Aura back after it was absorbed by this little girl.
According to reason, as long as the Primordial Devil Aura still existed, he should be able to absorb it. After all, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator while this little girl was only a Core Formation cultivator — it was impossible for her to compete with him.
However, this kind of thing had never happened before, so it was hard to be certain.
Seeing that City Lord Mei was ignoring her, she wanted to directly grab Nie Wushang.
Mo Tiange's gaze turned cold. She opened the Lotus Scarlet Umbrella and blocked City Lord Mei's path.
City Lord Mei was slightly astonished when she saw her actions. "Little girl, do you really want to stop me?"
He hadn't seen a cultivator like this for many years. She was already in the Core Formation realm and her strength wasn't weak at all. This junior should know the gap between Nascent Soul and Core Formation, right?
Mo Tiange didn't say anything. The Lotus Scarlet Umbrella purified the spiritual aura around her body and blocked the devil aura emitted by City Lord Mei. She then moved her hand and threw something.
"Rumble!"
After a loud explosion, City Lord Mei flung his sleeves and coldly stared at Mo Tiange. "Hmph!
Although your magic weapon is intelligent, you're only a Core Formation cultivator in the end. Do you think you can injure me like this? "His gaze turned cold. He made a hand seal and devil aura gathered between his fingers, ready to attack Mo Tiange.
Mo Tiange focused.
She knew the Spirit Clouds Ruyi couldn't repel a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it was good to buy some time.
"Rumble!"
Before City Lord Mei's devil aura could attack, another loud explosion was heard. Soon after, Qiu Chengruo's pleasantly surprised voice rang out. "The restriction is broken!"
