Chapter 1097: The Demon is One Foot Taller

"Leaving now is a bit too early. It won't be too late for us to evacuate after those demon creatures reach the city." A big man with a full beard said somewhat disapprovingly. (Website)

"It might be too late by then." Another white-faced old man with damaged vitality said indifferently, clearly supporting the beautiful woman.

"Hmph, how did Senior Brother Wang become a frightened bird after just one battle with these demon clans!" The big man with a full beard snorted coldly and mocked him.

"Junior Brother Tong, what do you know? You haven't seen the power of that Ten Thousand Demon Banner with your own eyes. Although it is a replica spirit treasure, its power is probably not inferior to the Heavenly Demon Banner of ancient times. This time, fortunately, it wasn't the true body of Old Demon Che who came in person; otherwise, even if the Palace Master and we joined forces, it would be difficult to be the opponent." The white-faced old man didn't get angry, but just said lightly.

"Is it really that powerful? Even so, it is by no means easy for the other party to break through our last few layers of restrictions. I still feel it is inappropriate to evacuate in a hurry without making full use of them." The big man with a full beard had a look of disbelief on his face, but still shook his head.

Hearing this, the beautiful woman furrowed her brows, swept her gaze across the faces of the others, and said slowly:

"Don't forget, fellow elders, the other party has already reached outside our city. If it weren't for Junior Sister Bai and Junior Sister Ye joining forces to lure that Ice Phoenix into the Illusory Light Profound Heaven Array and temporarily trapping this demon bird with the help of the array, I am afraid we wouldn't be able to discuss anything here! After all, that Ice Phoenix is a pure descendant of the heaven and earth spirit beast, and although it is only a level-ten demon beast, it has almost half the divine ability of a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator, far from what we human Nascent Soul cultivators can compare to. In this situation, it is better for us to make preparations for evacuation as soon as possible. But Elder Tong's words are not without reason. How about this: let the low-tier disciples hide in the Void Spirit Hall first, and we and the high-tier disciples will use the last few layers of restrictions to give the other party another heavy blow, kill more demon beasts, and then retreat back to the Void Spirit Hall to leave without lingering. Fellow elders, remember clearly, our main purpose is to preserve the strength of our palace, not to eliminate how many demon beasts."

Hearing these words from the beautiful woman, the others felt it was feasible, so they nodded and agreed.

Then, under the beautiful woman's instructions, everyone left the hall and began to summon disciples to prepare for evacuation and the final battle.

The beautiful woman stayed in the hall alone, sitting on a chair and pondering, a worried look faintly appearing between her brows.

"Why, you made arrangements, and you are still worried? Could it be that you also felt something wrong!" The beautiful woman sat there motionless, but a series of fine words suddenly came into her divine sense, and upon listening carefully, it was the voice of another strange woman.

"Yellow Springs Ghost Mother, if you don't want to suffer the pain of soul-piercing, just stay honestly." The beautiful woman's expression didn't change, but she replied coldly in her divine sense, seemingly very clear about the other woman's identity.

"Hehe, if you feel you can't deal with that Ten Thousand Demon Banner, you can let this old woman take action. As long as you are willing to release more of the restrictions on me, you and I join forces, what is a mere Ten Thousand Demon Banner." The woman let out a low laugh, and her tone was actually not small.

"Release the restrictions on you? Don't even dream about it." The beautiful woman sneered.

"I am thinking for you, and you don't appreciate it. This time, those demon beasts clearly came for another purpose; otherwise, why would they be so labor-intensive. Hiding in the Void Spirit Hall doesn't necessarily mean it's a safe strategy. I think this calamity of Little Extreme Palace is very difficult to avoid." The woman laughed gloomily and said impolitely.

"No matter how you talk, I won't release the restrictions on you now. A ghost cultivator who has cultivated to your level, if released, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause. Just stay honestly in the Dark Ghost Order." The beautiful woman wasn't moved at all.

"You don't think about it, if it weren't for my help, could you have stepped into the late Nascent Soul stage in just five or six hundred years. Moreover, it wasn't me who saved you several times; you would have died countless times long ago, and you could still be the Palace Master of Little Extreme Palace!" The woman was silent for a while, then emitted a sharp voice, seemingly somewhat angry from embarrassment.

"What you said is indeed a fact, but don't forget. If it weren't for me taking the Dark Ghost Order out of the ten-thousand-year black ice, you would still be sleeping underground for I don't know how many years. Helping me step into the Nascent Soul stage isn't just because you want me to have the ability to lift the Co-Life Curse? As for saving me, it was also saving yourself." The beautiful woman replied indifferently.

"But you also promised me that you would release me." The woman was still furious.

"I did promise you, but who let me find another secret technique that can cultivate with half the effort by using your Profound Yin Ghost Qi. As long as you can continue to help me enter the Spirit Transformation stage, the Co-Life Curse can be lifted on its own. You can leave on your own then."

"Help you enter the Spirit Transformation stage? Do you think I am a true immortal descending from heaven, or the reincarnation of the Supreme of the Spirit Realm! If I could enter the Spirit Transformation stage back then, would I be forced to cultivate as a ghost cultivator?" The woman was still furious.

"If you can't help me enter the Spirit Transformation stage, then I will naturally seal you up again before I pass away." The beautiful woman said expressionlessly.

"Hmph! You don't even know if you can pass this hurdle. And the soul stones collected have been consumed completely, right? Without this thing, you want to drive me to work for you, it's just wishful thinking." The woman's voice was incomparably cold.

"I don't have soul stones. But what I said earlier was just a guess. Can these demon creatures really do anything to the Void Spirit Hall? This matter doesn't need you to take action at all, our Little Extreme Palace can deal with it ourselves." The beautiful woman's expression sank, and she pinched a magic technique, seemingly activating some magic, and the voice of the so-called "Yellow Springs Ghost Mother" stopped abruptly, never to be heard again.

Subsequently, the beautiful woman's expression returned to normal, and she walked slowly toward the outside of the hall.

Two days later, after most of the low-tier disciples presiding over the magic array evacuated, the group of demon beasts advanced quickly to beneath the Ice City.

The Little Extreme Palace cultivators prepared to have another great battle with the group of demons with the help of the last few layers of powerful restrictions.

The incarnation of Old Demon Che, that young child, had recovered from his injuries of the previous days, and together with the old man, brought other transformed demon beasts, rushing over like a covering sky and earth.

As a result, after a fierce battle, both sides suffered some deaths and injuries, but in the end, the demon was one foot taller, and the young child relied on the Ten Thousand Demon Banner to swallow two Little Extreme Palace elders, forcing the beautiful woman to lead the group of cultivators to withdraw from the battle, temporarily relying on the last restrictions to resist the attack of the group of demons.

And that Old Demon Che saw this, and unceremoniously exerted the divine ability of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner to the fullest, countless demon beast incarnations formed in the demon aura, and then desperately attacked this last layer of restrictions.

The Little Extreme Palace cultivators retreated completely into the Han Li Secret Realm and entered the Void Spirit Hall.

The beautiful woman gave an order, and immediately activated the restrictions in the secret realm.

Instantly, the three giant halls arranged in a "pin" shape shook violently, and then the ground of the secret realm cracked, revealing a super magic array from beneath, actually surrounding the three halls in the center.

This magic array, looking at it, didn't know how many spirit stones were inlaid in it, dense and dense, as if there were thousands of them, and most of them were mid-tier spirit stones or higher, and even more than ten rare high-tier spirit stones were inlaid in the core.

The runes in the array rolled, and the imprints flashed, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

After a while, spiritual light gathered and condensed in the sky, forming a silver, shining rosy light, covering almost the entire sky of the secret realm.

And at this moment, the three giant halls also suddenly emitted faint spiritual light, and then three thick light pillars rushed out from the top of the halls, disappearing into the rosy light without a trace.

Thunderous rumbling sounds rose, strange spatial fluctuations came from the rosy light, and subsequently, a white arc several hundred zhang long slowly appeared in the rosy light.

The moment the light arc appeared, it blew up a hurricane in the secret realm, flying sand and moving stones, countless pavilions and pavilions collapsed and disintegrated in the trembling, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy was also in chaos, full of mess everywhere.

And the three giant halls seemed to have some connection with this space crack, and the light shone brightly for a time, and the white arc in the air also gradually lengthened and widened, as if a demon eye was gradually opening.

When this space crack almost occupied half of the sky of the secret realm, it suddenly sprayed out strands of silver rosy light, covering the three Void Spirit Halls beneath it.

One of the giant halls trembled violently, and then rose slowly from the ground, throwing itself toward the space crack.

Silver light flashed, and this giant hall disappeared in a flash, and the second giant hall rose immediately behind it.

But when the third giant hall also rose from the ground, a flash of white light appeared somewhere in the Han Li Secret Realm, and a giant snow-white ice phoenix about a zhang tall actually appeared strangely.

This spirit bird saw the scene in the secret realm, and a look of surprise flashed in its bright green eyes, but it stared at the last giant hall still in the void, suddenly opened its mouth, and a white light shot out in a flash, but subsequently disappeared without a trace.

Then this demon watched as this hall was also sucked into the space crack, but didn't take action to stop anything.

After all three giant halls were shot into the void, the crack in the air closed slowly, and then with a flash of silver light, it disappeared strangely. All the strange phenomena in the secret realm also disappeared without a trace.

The ice phoenix then emitted a clear cry from its mouth, then spread its wings, and after a flash of white light, its figure disappeared again.

After a few more moments, a heaven-shaking sound came, and the entire giant mountain trembled violently, and the group of demons finally broke into the last layer of restrictions outside the Ice City. The Azure-Backed Old Wolf transformed into an old man and the young child transformed by the incarnation of Che rushed toward the giant mountain.

In this situation, Master Han Li at the bottom of the Profound Jade Cave finally reached the final stage of breaking through the bottleneck.

In the magic array, Han Li's Purple Falling Extreme Fire stopped at some unknown time, and he was staring at a place not far away with a look of surprise.

Not just him, the old woman and Bai Mengmeng and others were also the same, staring at the giant rock in the center of the magic array without blinking, all filled with looks of surprise.

Because on that giant rock, the light mass had disappeared without a trace, and replacing it was a milky white light lotus.

Master Han Li was sitting in it, and strands of cold air drifted from the lotus petals, wrapping around the vicinity, submerging his figure in a hazy way.

And on Master Han Li's seemingly calm face, between his brows, there was a six-colored lotus-shaped mark, flickering unsteadily.

Even more strangely, a faint fragrance emitted from his physical body, as if it were sandalwood, and as if it were medicinal fragrance, smelling fragrant and pungent, but there was a faint fishy smell in it.

It was truly incredible!
