Chapter 1039: Black Wind Flag

Han Li gasped!

The battle before him had clearly exceeded the Nascent Soul level and was not something he could easily interfere with.

Immediately, various thoughts turned in his heart. He moved his lips slightly, and the eyes of Gui Ling behind him flashed with brilliance. After a moment of hesitation, she flickered and turned into a yellow streak of light, drilling into the ground.

Afterward, Han Li's eyes drifted around, and after a moment, his gaze stopped at a certain spot opposite him.

He saw that in a corner of the space behind the two demons, a black teleportation array appeared intact, covered by a set of array flags.

"This is..."

In the blink of an eye, Han Li remembered the other teleportation array of the same color he had seen in the original stone chamber. Immediately, joy filled his heart!

But when his gaze shifted, it happened to meet the gaze of the Xu-surnamed youth looking over.

The two were stunned, but immediately shifted their gazes away. At the same time, they both harbored ulterior motives!

Clearly, this Great Immortal Master of the Heavenly South Prairie had also taken a fancy to this only way out of this place.

At this moment, the black-robed woman who had summoned the Black Wind Flag clearly didn't want to delay any longer. She held the small flag in one hand and walked toward the palace in the magic array with large strides. The ancient demon also took out four ordinary treasures from its body and followed closely behind the woman.

The actions of the two demons naturally triggered the fierce restrictions of the Nine-True Demon-Subduing Array.

Immediately, a golden light even more astonishing than before surged down from the sky with great momentum.

The black-robed woman sneered, rubbed the small flag in her hands, and immediately black light exploded, and a layer of dark hazy light shield emerged, protecting her and the ancient demon within.

A strange scene appeared!

This fierce golden light, upon touching the black light shield, was like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing into it without a trace. The surface of the light shield didn't even stir a ripple; these golden lights didn't cause it the slightest damage.

The black-robed woman, topped with the light shield, broke into the inner circle of the Nine-True Demon-Subduing Array in the blink of an eye.

The nine giant blades shook simultaneously, emitting a series of clear chimes. Mysterious runes flickered and emerged, and the giant blades rapidly changed and shrank, turning into nine golden blades about a chi long in the blink of an eye.

The nine golden blades became smaller, but the spiritual light they emitted was dazzling, as if nine golden suns had suddenly appeared in this space, making it impossible to look directly at them.

The black-robed woman's eyes changed, and her originally calm face revealed a trace of solemnity.

The black light shield instantly expanded by a factor of two, and its surface became even more oily and dark black.

Just at this moment, the nine golden blades floated up, their tips flickered, and simultaneously aimed at the black-robed woman.

With a flash of sharp light, nine slender golden threads shot out, then disappeared in a flash.

Almost at the same time, nine balls of golden light burst open on the light shield transformed by the Black Wind Flag, and then the light shone brightly, submerging the light shield under the dazzling golden light in the blink of an eye.

Surprisingly, such an astonishing attack didn't make the slightest sound; everything happened in silence, making it feel even more eerie!

Han Li took this opportunity to glance at the others, and seeing that everyone was attracted by the scene before them, he flashed a strange look on his face and moved his hand like lightning.

A spirit beast bag quietly shot into his sleeve.

Without changing his expression, he put both hands behind his back, and golden flowers fell from his sleeves. As soon as they touched the ground, they drilled into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, all traces disappeared without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, this bag of several thousand Gold-Devouring Beetles had completely submerged into the ground, disappearing without a trace. For a time, no one actually noticed.

Seeing this scene, Han Li felt relieved in his heart.

And just at this moment, a faint "collect" sound came from the black-robed woman in the Nine-True Demon-Subduing Array.

The golden light flickered, and a black hole about a zhang large manifested within it.

As soon as this hole appeared, the golden light was sucked into it like ten thousand rivers returning to the sea, not leaving even a trace.

After a light sigh, the black hole shook violently and dissipated, revealing the figures of the black-robed woman and the ancient demon.

The black-robed woman held the Black Wind Flag in one hand, and seeing the nine golden blades in the distance flickering with golden light again, ready to attack, she suddenly raised her brows toward the palace and said:

"Daoist Long Meng, don't think you can rely on the Nine-True Demon-Subduing Array to consume my demonic energy and then take action. You should know that the Black Wind Flag is a rare space-type treasure even among Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures. Even if the attack is sharp, if it doesn't have the power to tear through space, it can't hurt me in the slightest. If you are sensible, you had better come out obediently. If you let me rush inside, this Saint Ancestor won't be so easy to talk to."

"Why ask this concubine to come out? Could it be that you've changed your mind and think it's better for us to become one?" The palace emitted Long Meng's charming giggle, seemingly not caring about the failure of the Nine-True Demon-Subduing Array at all.

"Not bad, this Saint Ancestor does indeed want to fuse our primordial spirits again!" The black-robed woman replied woodenly, which surprised everyone.

"What did you say? Old Demon, do you think I'm a three-year-old child who would believe your words?" Long Meng clearly was also stunned, then sneered, looking like she didn't believe it at all.

"Of course it's impossible to fuse primordial spirits like before. I must first place some restrictions on you to ensure that after the fusion, my primordial spirit will be the main one?" The black-robed woman said indifferently, while shaking the small black flag in her hand, easily manifesting a huge black hole, swallowing the golden threads sprayed by the nine golden blades again. However, because her footsteps stopped temporarily, she didn't trigger other fierce changes in the nine golden blades.

"Are you not awake? This concubine wouldn't agree to such an absurd thing. With your primordial spirit as the main one, you really think it through. You have already occupied my body, so why do you need to fuse anything again? If you have any plot, just be honest!" Long Meng said in surprise.

"The plot is naturally there. We have fused primordial spirits several times, and you must have felt it. Whether you or I occupy this body alone, we can't exert the greatest divine abilities of this body. But after fusion, we can easily throw that Spirit Transformation stage cultivator who broke in into the Illusory Heaven Phenomenon. So if you and I don't want to be sealed by human world cultivators again after going out, it's better to fuse our primordial spirits again," the black-robed woman said coldly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the ancient demon Great Commander who once roamed the human world would be afraid of a few Spirit Transformation stage cultivators. It's truly laughable." Long Meng was silent for a moment, then giggled mockingly.

"Back then, the Saint Realm and the human world could communicate, and our Saint Clan could return to replenish demonic energy at any time, naturally allowing us to wantonly display various great divine abilities. But now the channel has been blocked again, and the human world has also undergone great changes in heaven and earth spiritual energy. Even if I had great divine abilities originally, I can't display a few points now. It's not strange to be wary of these Spirit Transformation stage cultivators. Aren't you the same! Don't look at how you were originally a Spirit Transformation late-stage Spirit Realm demon clan; how many points of divine abilities can you exert now?" The black-robed woman said without changing her expression.

"With your primordial spirit as the main one, you talk about it as if it were a flower, but this concubine couldn't possibly agree. Otherwise, even if we can escape, what's the difference from before? Don't think I don't know that pouring demonic energy into the Black Wind Flag can temporarily drive the Spirit Treasure, but doing so can only exert a small half of the treasure's power at most! Whether you can walk into the palace is still a question! Of course, fusing primordial spirits is possible, but it must be with this concubine's primordial spirit as the main one. Otherwise, don't even think about it!" Long Meng said decisively.

Hearing Long Meng's words, a gloomy look appeared on the black-robed woman's charming face.

"It seems you are truly confident in this Nine-True Demon-Subduing Array and the Eight-Spirit Ruler. Very well, since you won't agree, then wait until I come over and personally subdue you, then extract the essence soul power of your primordial spirit, and then let you vanish into smoke. Doing this will have a worse effect, but it will also greatly increase my divine abilities."

The black-robed woman finished these words gloomily, but swept her eyes over Han Li's side twice, then suddenly turned her head and whispered a few words to the ancient demon.

The two-headed, four-armed demon nodded repeatedly, then flickered and shot backward. In the blink of an eye, it left the magic array range and fled to the vicinity of the black teleportation array, quietly suspended above the magic array without moving.

This sudden scene left Han Li and the others stunned, and they all cursed in their hearts.

In this way, their original plan of sneaking over and then finding an opportunity to leave had all fallen through.

Compared to the Xu-surnamed youth and the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha and other demons, Han Li had made some preparations, so he was slightly more arranged in his heart. However, he looked around and found that the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha and the Lion-Bird Beast's figures were blurred, and then they disappeared amidst a burst of green light.

Han Li frowned.

On the side, the youth surnamed Xu and the Tianlan Saintess kept their lips moving, whispering about something with gloomy expressions.

And the several Ye family cultivators clustered around the white-robed scholar, staying together quietly, neither speaking nor having any other strange movements.

Han Li frowned, and after looking at the white-robed scholar's wooden face, he vaguely felt that something was not quite right. After pondering for a moment, blue light flashed in his pupils, and he displayed the divine ability of the Brightclear Spirit Eyes.

As a result, Han Li naturally discovered that the white-robed scholar among the Ye family cultivators was actually glowing with light, just a spiritual energy phantom.

With a tightening in his heart, Han Li hurriedly swept around himself first, and after seeing no strangeness, he began to search for the true body of this Ye family Great Elder.

And at the same time, the black-robed woman transformed by the Yuan Cha Saint Ancestor incarnation, after blocking a wave of golden thread attacks from the golden blades, suddenly spread the Black Wind Flag in her hand, threw it high into the sky, formed a seal with both hands, and emitted a strange language.

With a "bang," a mass of black wind emerged from the Black Wind Flag.

This wind grew from small to large, from thin to thick, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an astonishing hurricane like a pillar supporting the sky. And almost at the same time the hurricane manifested, thunderous sounds erupted from the top, and countless balls of dim yellow clouds emerged, with silver arcs of varying thickness jumping and flickering in the clouds, as if they could descend and strike at any time.

Under the yellow clouds, near the black hurricane, the wind roared like a tide, countless wind blades began to manifest, and the entire space was flying with sand and stones, with rumbling sounds coming from everywhere.

Han Li's body was glowing with green light, and he had long since manifested a thick protective shield to protect himself and Yin Yue. But even so, wherever his eyes reached, it was all yellow and hazy, and the shield was blown until it hummed, like a small boat in a raging sea, appearing unusually tiny.

Han Li couldn't help but keep his lips tightly closed, his face unusually pale.

Under the urging of the Yuan Cha Saint Ancestor incarnation, the Black Wind Flag finally began to display the terrifying power of a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
