Chapter 131: Not Even Able to Stop a Bird

Zhang Yi sneered in his heart: "Old thing, you want to go head-to-head with me? You're still a bit green!"

His eyes darted, and a plan came to mind.

Rather than getting entangled with this old fellow, it would be better to enter the Hexinquyu directly to find treasures.

No sooner said than done.

Zhang Yi flapped his wings, the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud shone brilliantly, and he transformed into a streak of light, piercing directly through the barrier guarding the Hexinquyu!

"Oh no! He's going in!"

A Great Demon exclaimed, his tone filled with disbelief.

If this brat got inside, it would be nearly impossible for them to catch him again.

One had to know, none of them could enter inside right now.

However, his warning was ultimately a step too late.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yi's figure had already disappeared within the barrier.

Several Great Demons looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment.

They looked at the Elder and stammered: "Elder... this barrier... we still cannot break through it for now..."

The Elder's complexion turned livid in an instant.

The staff in his hand struck the ground heavily, emitting a dull thud.

A powerful pressure radiated from his body, making the surrounding Demon Beasts unable to catch their breath.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

The Elder roared, "That brat got in, yet you all can't? Could it be that your strength as representatives of the Demon Saint Mansion isn't even as good as a bird? You are making the Demon Saint Mansion lose face!"

The several Great Demons were scolded severely, yet they dared not refute a single word.

They could only lower their heads and silently endure the Elder's fury.

The surrounding Demon Beasts wore expressions of watching a good show.

They whispered and discussed among themselves.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these Great Demons are in for it! They are definitely going to be lectured by the Elder."

"In my opinion, this Demon Saint Mansion is nothing special, they can't even stop a bird!"

"Hehe, there's a good show to watch! If this Elder can't get in either, that would be a huge loss of face!"

Hearing the surrounding discussions, the Elder's expression grew even uglier.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the fury in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Hmph! I want to see if this barrier can really stop me!"

With that, he raised his staff.

A golden light surged from the staff, transforming into a golden dragon that roared as it charged toward the barrier.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the golden dragon collided with the barrier, erupting in dazzling light.

However, the barrier remained motionless, as if it were an insurmountable wall.

The Elder's expression changed; he swung his staff again, and several more golden dragons roared out, crashing fiercely into the barrier.

Yet, the result remained unchanged.

The barrier remained unbreakable, blocking all attacks on the outside.

The surrounding Demon Beasts immediately erupted into an uproar, with various taunts rising one after another.

"Hahaha, even the Elder can't get in, this barrier is too powerful!"

"It seems this Hexinquyu really is a forbidden zone; even people from the Demon Saint Mansion can't get in!"

"This old fellow has lost all his face; I wonder how he'll survive in the Yao Jie from now on!"

Hearing the surrounding mockery, the Elder felt his face burning.

He was a dignified Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion, yet he was blocked outside by a barrier; how could he endure this?

He roared, poured all his demon power into the staff, and launched another attack.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the barrier remained unmoved.

Just then, an aged voice came from within the barrier: "Hehe, old fellow, don't waste your effort; this barrier is not something you can break."

The Elder's expression changed, and he looked toward the source of the sound, only to see a figure appear inside the barrier.

It was an old man in white robes, with white hair and beard, possessing the air of an immortal.

"Who are you?" the Elder asked in a deep voice.

The old man smiled slightly: "I am the guardian of this Hexinquyu."

"Guardian?"

The Elder frowned, "Are you saying that you set up this barrier?"

The old man nodded: "That is correct."

"Then why do you block me from entering the Hexinquyu?" the Elder questioned.

The old man smiled faintly: "The Hexinquyu is a forbidden zone of the Yao Jie; how can you be allowed to intrude at will?"

"Insolent!" the Elder barked, "I am an Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion; how can I allow you to slight me like this!"

The old man shook his head: "Demon Saint Mansion? Hehe, in my eyes, you are nothing but a bunch of clowns."

The Elder was instantly enraged: "Old thing, you are courting death!"

With that, he raised his staff again, preparing to launch an attack.

However, at that very moment, the old man suddenly extended a finger and tapped lightly.

"Pop!"

With a soft sound, the staff in the Elder's hand shattered into countless fragments in an instant!

The Elder's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with terror.

He never imagined that the old man's strength would be so terrifying!

"You... who exactly are you?" the Elder asked, trembling.

The old man smiled slightly: "I have already said, I am the guardian of this Hexinquyu. As for my identity, you are not yet qualified to know."

Having said that, the old man's figure flashed and vanished.

The Elder stood where he was, his face pale, his whole body trembling.

The cane in his hand had shattered; the strength he was so proud of was, in front of this old man, so vulnerable!

The surrounding Demon Beasts were also stunned, each one dumbfounded, looking at everything that had just happened in disbelief.

They never imagined that there would be such a terrifying existence in this Hexinquyu!

The key point was, before this, they had never heard that this place had any guardian deity.

Members of the Demon Saint Mansion would come here in previous years, cultivate in this place for a year or half a year, and then, after their strength broke through, they would be able to break through the barrier and enter inside.

But now, a guardian deity had suddenly popped up.

And he even stated that the barrier was set by him.

Could it be... that those few birds have a deep connection with this guardian deity?

Thinking of this.

The Elder immediately thought of how to recover a wave of lost face.

He waved his arm and shouted, "Damned Wangri Birds, relying on back-door connections to enter inside, what kind of skill is that?"

This remark from the Elder made those clueless Demon Beasts truly believe that Zhang Yi had only had the chance to enter because the guardian deity had opened a back door for him.

Instantly, they no longer held Zhang Yi and the other Wangri Birds in high regard.

"Hey! I thought those few birds were really that amazing; turns out they only got in by relying on back-door connections."

"That explains it; if I had that connection, I could get in too."

"Exactly, I didn't expect there to be such a powerful expert guarding this place; it's the first time I've seen one in all these years."

"But having said that, what kind of background do those few birds have, to actually know the guardian venerable of the Trial Land? Not simple at all."

Listening to the surrounding discussions.

The face of the Demon Saint Mansion Elder finally relaxed a little.
