The fiery red sword light hovered above the four people's heads for a while before it finally returned to his arm. Qin Xi stared at Master Song Feng and said faintly, "Senior Song Feng, you can't use your full strength here."
He didn't attack, but he didn't hide his intention to show off.
Master Song Feng didn't say anything or attack.
He was irritable, but he wasn't stupid.
He had enmity with so many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Celestial Pole, but he could live well until now because he was strong but also because he was smart enough.
He knew when he could take advantage of others and when he should stop.
White Tiger's Breath restrained his devil aura. He didn't dare to come here until he entered the Nascent Soul realm after cultivating Primordial Devil Great Technique, and he could move normally only after he advanced to the middle stage.
Here, he could only use 70 percent of his strength at most.
Those juniors had all formed their Nascent Souls, especially Qin Shoujing, who had advanced to the middle stage.
Besides, there was also the old witch from Yunzhong eyeing them covetously. If they fought, wouldn't that be exactly what she wanted?
With that thought in mind, Master Song Feng said, "Hmph!
When this is over, I'll deal with you! "
He then found a corner to rest and recuperate.
Seeing this, the four people secretly sighed in relief.
Although each of them had formed their Nascent Souls, they were still afraid of facing the number one cultivator in the Celestial Pole who had accumulated power for hundreds of years.
If they really fought, they might not necessarily lose. At the very least, Qin Xi felt that if he could use the Vermilion Bird Bow, he would be seriously injured even if he could withstand it.
Seeing this, Mo Tiange secretly passed a bottle of medicinal pills to Nie Wushang. "Quickly heal yourself."
Nie Wushang forced a smile and pushed it back. "No need."
Healing medicinal pills had a certain effect on Devil Cultivators, but Primordial Devil Aura wasn't the same. For her, even if she only had one breath left, she could still recover.
Just as she was about to take a good rest, she suddenly saw someone coming from another corner.
Right now, there were three parties in the sacrificial temple. One party was the four of them, one party was Master Song Feng, and the last party was Devil Monarch Night Frost and the two Devil Cultivators.
In terms of strength, the three parties were about the same, forming a balanced situation where no one could attack at will.
The four of them couldn't reconcile with Master Song Feng. As for Devil Monarch Night Frost, although they didn't have any grudges, they didn't dare to trust him.
At this moment, the one walking towards them was the maid, Hong Xiao.
Ten feet away from them, Hong Xiao stopped and bowed. "This servant is Hong Xiao. Under the orders of my city lord, I invite everyone here for a chat."
With Night Frost Demon Monarch here, Hong Xiao restrained her emotions and politely invited him.
Qin Xi glanced in that direction. Demon Monarch Night Frost was still expressionless, but he gave him a slight nod.
Before he could say anything, Jing Xingzhi interrupted, "If you want to chat, just come over. Why do you want us to go over?"
Hong Xiao lowered her eyes and said, "My City Lord is only here for one item. As for the other items, she will not fight with you. Everyone, please be at ease."
Right after she finished speaking, Mo Tiange said, "Miss Hong Xiao, you almost took my life the first time we met."
Hearing this, Hong Xiao smiled embarrassedly, not knowing what to say.
She was Devil Monarch Night Frost's maid, but in fact, she was equivalent to his disciple. There were many people in the City Lord's Mansion who took care of those mundane matters, so she didn't need to do them. She only needed to deal with some things that were inconvenient for Devil Monarch Night Frost, and these things were usually paved by someone else.
On the other side, Devil Monarch Night Frost finally came.
Unlike Progenitor Miao Ying, this late stage Nascent Soul great cultivator still maintained the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. She was young and beautiful. If she hid her cultivation level and appeared in front of others, she would probably be regarded as a junior who had just stepped on the path to immortality.
"Fellow Daoist Mo." Devil Monarch Night Frost's gaze fell on Mo Tiange first. "I didn't expect you to form your Nascent Soul after we parted at the Sea of Returning Ruins."
Mo Tiange smiled slightly. Nie Wushang told her that her deeds had spread throughout Yunzhong, so Devil Monarch Night Frost naturally knew she had formed her Nascent Soul.
However, since Devil Monarch Night Frost was so polite to her as a late stage Nascent Soul great cultivator, she had to give him some face.
Mo Tiange stood up and saluted him. "Senior Night Frost, long time no see. You're still as elegant as ever."
"She's just an old witch. What's there to talk about elegant?" Devil Monarch Night Frost said faintly then looked at Qin Xi. "Fellow Daoist Qin."
Qin Xi returned the salute. "Fellow Daoist Night Frost."
Devil Monarch Night Frost glanced at Jing Xingzhi and Nie Wushang then asked, "How should I address you two?"
Jing Xingzhi chuckled. "I'm Jing Xingzhi. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Night Frost."
Seeing his frivolous attitude, Tianxuan snorted coldly.
Devil Monarch Night Frost turned a blind eye to him and looked at Nie Wushang.
Nie Wushang sat cross-legged inside the Spirit-Concealing Formation and said, "I'm Nie Wushang. I'm injured. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist."
If a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator took the initiative to talk to an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator, who wouldn't be flattered? Nie Wushang's behavior could be said to be rude.
Devil Monarch Night Frost didn't mind. He nodded lightly then pointed to the two people beside him. "This is my disciple Tianxuan and my maid Hongxiao."
After greeting them, Devil Monarch Night Frost said, "Fellow Daoists, you don't mind us coming uninvited, do you?"
Qin Xi smiled and said, "How could I dare?
Fellow Daoist, if you have any advice, please say it directly. "
Night Frost Demon Monarch glanced at Master Song Feng in the other corner and said, "I don't dare to give advice. I just want to make it clear to Fellow Daoists that we didn't come here with the intention of becoming enemies with you."
"Is that so?" Mo Tiange smiled and glanced at Tianxuan and Hong Xiao.
Devil Monarch Night Frost understood her meaning, but he said, "Fellow Daoists have some disagreements with that Fellow Daoist Song Feng. Presumably, you don't want to have a conflict with us, right?"
Mo Tiange withdrew her gaze and didn't say anything.
Devil Monarch Night Frost was a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so he didn't lower himself to explain to them. Instead, he spoke in a domineering manner.
Mo Tiange knew he was right, but if they showed weakness easily, they would be at a disadvantage if they continued talking.
Qin Xi chuckled and said, "What Fellow Daoist said is reasonable. It seems you also think so?"
Devil Monarch Night Frost paused and looked at them meaningfully. "Yes, we didn't come here from thousands of miles away to fight."
Qin Xi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Fellow Daoist, you might as well speak your mind."
Devil Monarch Night Frost said, "We came here for one thing. As long as Fellow Daoists don't fight with us, we won't be your enemy."
Qin Xi had heard about this from Hong Xiao, so he smiled. "If it has nothing to do with us, we naturally won't fight for it."
He didn't say anything definite. There were some things they could give up, but there were some things they couldn't.
"It should have nothing to do with you." Ye Shuang's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile.
She was a very beautiful woman. Although she was a Devil Cultivator, she had a cold demeanor like snow.
"In addition …" Devil Monarch Night Frost paused and looked at Master Song Feng. "Fellow Daoists, what do you think of those ghost cultivators?"
Mo Tiange's gaze also turned to Master Song Feng.
They didn't put up a Soundproof Barrier when they talked here, so Master Song Feng must've heard them clearly. However, he didn't move at all. He just turned into a black cloud and curled up in a corner to recuperate.
Qin Xi pondered for a moment then asked, "Excuse me, how many ghost cultivators besieged you, and what are their cultivation levels?"
Devil Monarch Night Frost glanced at Tian Xuan and said, "More than twenty people, including two late stage Nascent Soul ghost cultivators." His face was expressionless, but his pale blue face seemed to have a glimmer of light.
Mo Tiange frowned. "In that case, didn't they dispatch forty Nascent Soul ghost cultivators?"
Hearing this number, Jing Xingzhi also frowned. "What's the origin of this Ghost City? Why are there so many ghost cultivators hiding here?"
Forty Nascent Soul cultivators was a shocking number in Yunzhong. There were only about a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Yunzhong. This Ghost City had mobilized forty Nascent Soul ghost cultivators just to kill them. How many Nascent Soul ghost cultivators were there in total?
At least half of them, right?
"Don't tell me your Celestial Pole doesn't know there's a Ghost City here?" Tian Xuan said.
His tone was full of doubt and contempt, which made Mo Tiange feel very unhappy.
Although Mo Tiange didn't like his tone, she still said calmly, "The Celestial Pole is different from Yunzhong. Almost all the cultivators in the Celestial Pole are concentrated in Kunwu. There are neither spiritual lands nor spiritual objects in the Westernmost Desert, so naturally, no cultivators set foot there."
Tian Xuan snorted and didn't say anything else.
Qin Xi went on to say, "Forty Nascent Soul ghost cultivators, and there might be other ghost cultivators in the Ghost City. If they block the exit, we only have eight people. We can't fight them at all."
"Fellow Daoist Qin is right." Devil Monarch Night Frost glanced at Master Song Feng again. "In this case, we can only be trapped here if we go our own way."
Qin Xi smiled. "Fellow Daoist Night Frost, you mean …"
"Naturally, we'll leave together."
The black cloud finally moved, and Master Song Feng's voice came from inside. "Old witch, you don't need to test me. I certainly don't want to be trapped here."
Devil Monarch Night Frost raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm not talking to you."
"Hmph!" Master Song Feng snorted. "Since that's the case, don't blame me for not helping."
Devil Monarch Night Frost didn't care at all. If he didn't help, they couldn't get out. It would be strange if he didn't help.
Qin Xi glanced at Master Song Feng and said, "We can't defeat the forty ghost cultivators in the Ghost City, let alone all the ghost cultivators in the Ghost City. How can we get out?"
Devil Monarch Night Frost said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. Whether we can get out or not is still uncertain."
Qin Xi exchanged glances with Mo Tiange and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you have an idea?"
"Yes."
Devil Monarch Night Frost turned to look at Hong Xiao. "This maid of mine has a strange secret technique. She can go and explore."
Mo Tiange was stunned and asked, "You can enter the Ghost City?"
After receiving Devil Monarch Night Frost's signal, Hong Xiao said, "Yes, I have a secret technique that allows my primordial spirit to leave its body and sneak into the Ghost City."
"Primordial spirit leaving its body?" Mo Tiange and the others were astonished. Even Nie Wushang, who was regulating her breath and healing her injuries, opened her eyes.
For Nascent Soul cultivators like them, their primordial spirits already possessed power, but their primordial spirits were still far from being able to leave their bodies. Even if they reached the Deification realm, their primordial spirits still couldn't leave their bodies.
This kind of secret technique was unheard of.
Mo Tiange was vigilant. This Hong Xiao's strength was average, but she had this kind of secret technique, so she couldn't be underestimated.
