"No problem, Master! Watch me!"
Sure enough, just as they reached the entrance of the dungeon, they looked up and saw dozens of armed guards surging menacingly towards them. "Bold thieves! How dare you break into the prison in this imperial palace!"
The moment these men rushed forward, Xiaoling dashed to the front. Her body floated directly in mid - air, and she spat out a ball of fox fire at the guards.
Since the opponents were all ordinary mortals, Xiaoling didn't use her full strength. This fox fire wasn't very lethal; its main function was to confuse the enemies' vision.
These people turned pale with fear at the oncoming flames and stepped back again and again. How could they dare to get any closer?
Taking advantage of this moment, Feng Yunshu hoisted Kong Ze on her back and quickly ran in another direction using her spiritual power.
However, before Feng Yunshu could leave the palace, a sudden cloud of red smoke appeared in front of her. Feng Yunshu keenly smelled the fox - like stench in the smoke and frowned instantly, shutting off her sense of smell.
"Do you really think you can avoid my hallucinatory mist just by shutting off your sense of smell? Hehe, so naive!"
A somewhat shrill laugh of a woman suddenly came from the mist. "I really underestimated you. You managed to outwit me with your petty tricks. But don't get too happy too soon. How could a mere demon - detecting mirror deal with this Fox Venerable?!"
Feng Yunshu was sure that the one speaking must be Concubine Mu, the real body of the fox demon. And just as she finished speaking, Feng Yunshu noticed that the smoke could seep through the skin, and her consciousness seemed to be gradually blurring.
"Just feel the ultimate fear deep in your heart!"
The fox demon's illusory mist made Feng Yunshu recall what had happened when she faced the mirror demon before. Yes, this trick of the two was quite similar; it showed the fear in people's hearts.
This time, Feng Yunshu clenched her fists, and her eyes became more and more determined.
No matter what she saw or heard later, she must remember that it was all an illusion and must not be confused by it!
Sure enough, not long after, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Feng Yunshu.
"Devil Lord Zhushan, for years, the immortal and demon continents have been in peace. The demon realm has never interfered in any affairs of the mortal and immortal realms. Why do you allow your subordinates to break this peace?"
"Now, your people in the demon realm are wantonly destroying and killing innocent people in the mortal realm to practice demonic arts. Some even retaliate against various immortal - cultivating sects on a large scale, causing countless casualties in these sects and bringing about great suffering. Do you know your mistake?"
This voice... this figure...
Feng Yunshu suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her heart skipped a beat.
It was Master! Immortal Liuyun!
"Master!"
Feng Yunshu blurted out, but Immortal Liuyun, who was shining with golden light above the clouds, seemed to be unable to hear her voice. He still looked at the tall man in black clothes opposite him with a solemn expression.
"Hehe, what mistake have I made?"
The familiar voice rang out again, and Feng Yunshu's heart was in her throat.
Looking in the direction of Immortal Liuyun's gaze, the long - haired man in a black robe, emitting a faint black mist all over his body, wasn't he Helan Yanting?!
How could he be Zhushan?
Feng Yunshu was greatly shocked. Not knowing what she remembered, a certain nerve in her mind seemed to be touched, and a sharp pain came.
Feng Yunshu supported her head with both hands and gritted her teeth to endure the severe pain in her head.
Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a while. After that, it gradually disappeared.
Looking up, she saw that the Devil Lord Zhushan slightly raised the corners of his eyes. His expression was full of absolute contempt and aloofness. "Liuyun, which eye of yours saw me as so heinous? Or do you immortals in the celestial realm always like to put blame on others?"
"By now, you still try to defend yourself. Since you have no intention of repentance, there's no place for you on the immortal and demon continents anymore!"
After saying that, Immortal Liuyun formed hand seals with both hands and began to release his powerful and profound spiritual power. Several strong beams of light flew straight towards Zhushan's vital points.
Seeing this, Feng Yunshu's heart tightened, and she subconsciously shouted, "My lord, be careful!"
As soon as she said this, Feng Yunshu saw Zhushan sneer with a curl of his lips. He just slightly moved his steps and waved his sleeve robe. A puff of black mist flew out and directly dispersed those golden lights.
It seemed that the two were really evenly matched.
However, Zhushan was alone, while several helpers soon came to Immortal Liuyun's side. These people were all protected by golden light and had profound spiritual power. They were all immortals on the celestial register.
"Immortal Liuyun, we're here to help you! Suppress this Devil Lord Zhushan!"
"A bunch of you come to deal with me alone. You celestial beings always like to bully the weak by relying on your numbers. Hehe, it really suits your usual style." Zhushan looked at the row of immortals in front of him and couldn't help but sneer. There was contempt in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"I really feel sorry for Goddess Yunxi. She sacrificed herself and perished between heaven and earth. What she got in return was you lackeys of the celestial realm. It's really extremely sad!"
"Stop talking nonsense, great demon. Go to hell!"
Several immortals simultaneously used their unique skills. Countless golden light blades soared into the sky. The huge golden light turned into a rain of arrows like shooting stars and crashed towards Zhushan.
Zhushan leaped up from the spot. Somehow, a black - iron fan appeared in his hand. Although this fan looked small and simple, it actually contained great mysteries and power.
Everyone was greatly shocked when they saw the fan in his hand.
Immortal Liuyun quickly judged the origin of this fan. "This black - iron fan was forged from the ancient black - iron stone. It was the personal magic weapon of Goddess Yunxi and has the power to overturn heaven and earth."
"When Goddess Yunxi perished back then, this fan also disappeared without a trace. It hasn't been seen for many years. Why is this fan in your hand now?!"
"You're quite discerning. You know this is Goddess Yunxi's thing. But today, you won't be able to escape from under this fan!"
After saying that, Zhushan gathered most of his demonic power into the fan surface. The fan vibrated violently. The next second, the fan suddenly enlarged dozens of times, almost covering the entire sky. It was dark between heaven and earth, with flying sand and rocks, and everything was in chaos.
The strong wind sucked in all the weapons and unique skills released by these immortals one by one. The figures of several immortals even began to sway.
"Damn it! Immortal Liuyun, the power of this black - iron fan is really too great! Our strength can't compete with it at all. What should we do?! If this continues, we'll all die under this black - iron fan today!"
Immortal Liuyun frowned slightly, but his expression was still calm. "Fellow immortals, don't be anxious. To be honest, I also have a magic weapon in my hand, which can just compete with it!"
After saying that, Immortal Liuyun murmured incantations with his lips and summoned another magic weapon.
Accompanied by a strong light, everyone finally saw the true appearance of this magic weapon. At this moment, everyone present couldn't remain calm anymore.
"Immortal Liuyun, is this... is this the ancient divine artifact, the Phoenix Lute?!"
"Exactly!"
Feng Yunshu saw her master release his immortal power to activate the Phoenix Lute. Wave after wave of lute music spread out continuously, completely blocking the strong wind caused by the black - iron fan. It seemed that the power of the black - iron fan was about to be completely suppressed by the Phoenix Lute.
Zhushan's expression became a bit more solemn. "I didn't expect Immortal Liuyun to still have this card up his sleeve. He's really cunning."
The black - iron fan was about to be shattered by the power of the Phoenix Lute. If Zhushan continued to hold on, the two ancient divine artifacts might end up in a lose - lose situation, smashed to pieces.
However, at this critical moment, Feng Yunshu saw Zhushan actually withdraw his demonic aura and put the black - iron fan back into his hand.
"This is the only remembrance you left for me. How could I be willing to destroy it..."
