Chapter 403

As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Xiong's face was full of black lines, and he said helplessly.

"Uncle Master, it's not that they've been fought to the doorstep; it's that my nephew today intends to wipe out these Demon Kings of Yuan Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the gaunt old man took a close look and realized that Yuan Mo and the other Demon Kings had been completely suppressed; capturing them was merely a matter of time.

He curled his lips and said.

"Since that's the case, why did you bring me out? Do you want me to die sooner?"

Beings like the gaunt old man, who are Great Saints, exist in each of the four major sects, but they normally remain in a state of deep sleep, doing everything possible to avoid the loss of their lifespan.

Therefore, they will not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary.

After all, each time they awaken, they are consuming what little lifespan they have.

"Please, Uncle Master, stop the Demon Emperor of Yuan Mountain."

Qi Xiong didn't waste words, directly stating his purpose; upon hearing this, the old man didn't respond, but instead turned his head to look into the distance and said with a cold smile.

"They really came fast."

Not long after, three figures appeared outside the Dao Yi Sect's sect-protecting grand formation.

Like the old man, they were surrounded by deathly aura, clearly not having much longer to live.

These three figures are the three patriarchs of Yuan Mountain, beings at the Demon Emperor level, on par with the Human Race's Great Saints.

Yuan Mo probably also knew that if they couldn't escape this battle, Yuan Mountain would be ruined, so he directly awakened all three patriarchs.

Seeing the three patriarchs approaching, Yuan Mo immediately shouted.

"Patriarch, save me!"

Upon hearing this, the three patriarchs glanced at Yuan Mo, and one of the Demon Emperors said coldly.

"You idiot, actually running to the Dao Yi Sect to deliver yourself to death."

"This is clearly a suicide mission; with just your few people, you still dare to attack someone else's Dao Yi Sect?"

As for that, Yuan Mo had unspeakable bitterness; he damn well didn't come of his own volition, but saying that now is too late.

The other two Demon Emperor patriarchs also knew this, so they didn't say much, merely gazing solemnly at the old man before speaking.

"Yu Mo, can this matter be negotiated? Any price can be discussed."

Wanting to rescue Yuan Mo and the others in this situation, even the three Demon Emperor patriarchs lack confidence; thus, if negotiation is possible, that would be best.

Unfortunately, Yu Mo didn't hesitate at all, directly shaking his head and refusing.

"What do you say? Can a cooked duck really be let go?"

"Then let's do it."

Facing Yu Mo's answer, the three Demon Emperor patriarchs also seemed unsurprising; after all, if it were their Yuan Mountain seizing such an opportunity, they too would not let the person go.

Thus, there is only one battle left, a fight that stakes the entire survival of Yuan Mountain.

If they can rescue Yuan Mo and the others, Yuan Mountain still has hope; if they cannot, even having these three patriarchs would be of no avail.

After all, they couldn't possibly come to handle Yuan Mountain's trivial matters, and if they didn't remain in slumber to preserve their lifespan, they wouldn't live much longer.

As the words fell, the three Demon Emperor patriarchs attacked together, striking at the Dao Yi Sect's sect-protecting grand formation.

At the same time, beside Yu Mo, space distorted, and two similarly black-robed old men walked out from within.

Both were peers of Yu Mo, powerful cultivators at the Great Saint Realm, and were the Supreme Elders of the Dao Yi Sect.

Without hesitation, after appearing, they immediately launched an attack toward the three Demon Emperors.

Battles between Great Saints and Demon Emperors produce even more terrifying aftershocks, so Yu Mo and his companions also intentionally kept the battlefield outside the sect-protecting grand formation.

With the sect-protecting grand formation, at least it can block their battle aftershocks, so it won't affect the many disciples inside.

On the other side, seeing the three Supreme Elders already in action, Qi Xiong also didn't hesitate and vigorously attacked Yuan Mo.

At the level of Great Saints and Demon Kings, wanting to slay each other is quite difficult.

Therefore, the three Supreme Elders could only obstruct; to actually slay them, besides needing time, a great cost would also be required.

And Qi Xiong's goal was not to slay the Demon Emperor patriarchs of Yuan Mountain; from beginning to end, his aim was Yuan Mo and the other demon kings.

As long as they are killed, even if Yuan Mountain still has its three Demon Emperor patriarchs, it would be equivalent to cutting off their foundation, leaving no chance for a comeback.

After all, the three Demon Emperor patriarchs don't have that much time to cultivate the younger generation of their clan into demon kings.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, especially on Qi Xiong's side.

Everyone had already disregarded all cost, even deploying the Mìfǎ.

Facing Qi Xiong and his companions, who were determined to kill, Yuan Mo and the others, although they resisted desperately, were ultimately no match.

The Dao Yi Sect's great battle lasted for several days straight; in the end, Yuan Mo, Yuan Zhi, and several other demon kings were severely wounded and captured alive, while the remaining demon kings were all slain.

Seeing that the tide had turned, the three Demon Emperor patriarchs of the Yuan clan also did not linger further.

Continuing to fight would be meaningless; Yuan Mo and the others were beyond saving, and Yuan Mountain's downfall had already been sealed.

But just before leaving, the three Demon Emperor patriarchs said coldly.

"Yu Mo, good, your Dao Yi Sect is truly excellent; this matter, this emperor will remember it; even if I cannot destroy your Dao Yi Sect, in my lifetime I will surely make your Dao Yi Sect pay a price."

Having said that, the three Demon Emperor patriarchs vanished into the void, choosing to flee.

Seeing this, Yu Mo and his companions also did not give chase, for pursuing them might not necessarily allow them to be kept.

They all came up to Qi Xiong, and facing Yu Mo and his companions, Qi Xiong and his group performed a respectful salute.

"Greetings, three Uncle Masters."

"Paying respects to the Supreme Elders."

Qi Xiong's master is the senior brother of Yu Mo and his companions, so those three are Qi Xiong's uncles-master.

Of course, among them also are disciples of the three; for example, one named Yuan Cang, a Supreme Elder, is the Shīzūn of the Literature Academy Peak's Peak Master.

After glancing at the captured Yuan Mo and the other demon kings, Yu Mo smiled and patted Qi Xiong on the shoulder.

You little brat did a good job, luring these stupid things into the sect—nice, nice, haha.

Facing Yu Mo's praise, Qi Xiong's expression turned weird; he damn well didn't do anything—these demon kings rushed in on their own.

But before Qi Xiong could speak, the heavily wounded ape demon beside him let out a low growl.

Pah, if it weren't for falling into Hong Zun's treacherous scheme, this king wouldn't have ended up like this.

Little Hongzi?

Upon hearing Hong Zun's name, Yu Mo was stunned—how come there's still something about Hong Zun?

He looked around, but didn't see Hong Zun's figure; just then, Qi Xiong's Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán lit up.

Upon connecting, it was indeed Hong Zun.

An old face appeared happily on the Formation Light Curtain; seeing Qi Xiong, he laughed.

Hehe, Senior Brother, do you like the surprise I gave you?

Surprise? What surprise?

What, you didn't receive it?

Wait, you don't mean those ape demons, do you?

That's them.

Damn, did you send them to the sect?

Yeah.

At first he hadn't come to his senses; only after Hong Zun nodded did Qi Xiong glare angrily.

What the hell do you want? What exactly are you trying to do? Sending demon kings into the sect—what's your deal?

What's up, Shī xiōng, can't you handle it?

Is this even a matter of whether it can be done or not?
