Chapter 827: Chapter 728 A Demon-shocking Door

Aboard the Spirit Boat.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The fierce gang wind was completely blocked by a layer of qi shield.

Fang Xi noticed that on the body of the boat, there was also an array engraved, which strove to reduce the magic power fluctuations of the Spirit Boat and included the effect of concealing the Escape Light.

It was apparent that the three Returning to Emptiness cultivators from Moon Invitation Immortal City were all very cautious.

"Once we leave the human stronghold, the outside is the battlefield of the three clans. Although it is a ceasefire period recently, scouts from various clans often roam the battlefield for infiltration and assassination..."

Manager Zhou came to Fang Xi’s side and sighed softly, "Fortunately, members of the Monster Clan and Demon Clan at the Integration level rarely appear, otherwise it would be a direct plunge into fierce combat..."

’For me, this seems like a great opportunity!’

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: ’Among those Returning to Emptiness, whom should I fear? If I use the Summoning Skills... even the most defiant ones who return to emptiness will die!’

Manager Zhou, brimming with excitement, mentioned some ancient history when passing by a broken peak: "This ’Demon Breaking Peak’ was, back in the day, sliced by a single stroke of Jianzi’s sword... At that time, our human race was in a flourishing period, producing several Mahayana Monks, who suppressed the Monster Clan and Demonic Beasts with the power of one clan, forcing them to continuously shrink back and defend for tens of thousands of years..."

"It is said that Jianzi held a Half-broken Flying Sword of Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure level from the Sword Sect, the might of which was indeed earth-shattering..."

Fang Xi also sighed with emotion.

However, what interested him more was the history of the three clans.

According to historical records, if the human race became too prosperous, reaching a point of overwhelming the Monster Clan and Demonic Beasts, these two clans would even put aside past grievances and join forces. During that period of great prosperity for the human race, it was the combined forces of the Monster Clan and Demonic Beasts that retreated to their ancestral lands, relying on an Immortal World Array to just barely withstand the siege of the human Mahayana Monks.

Then they persevered until a Mahayana Individual Immortal from the human race failed in tribulation, turned to ashes, and little by little the situation started to reverse.

’A triad structure is the most stable... Yet in the Earth Immortal Realm, it’s an ongoing struggle for supremacy among humans, monsters, and demons... an ebb and flow, with no true resolution...’

’According to the records, the human race either allies with demons to fight the monsters, or joins with monsters to fight the demons, or gets beaten by both Monster and Demon Clans, or beats both Monster and Demon Clans...’

’The three clans in constant turmoil, a major war erupting every few thousand or tens of thousands of years, truly a calamity for all living beings...’

Fang Xi thought to himself, suddenly his expression changed.

Then, Master Dongqiuzi’s face moved, and he took out a peculiar puppet from his bosom: "The Autumn Wind Cicada brings news, there is a Returning to Emptiness demon ahead!"

"What?"

Manager Zhou and Guang Qianjian were shocked: "Have we been exposed?"

Swish!

How swift is the Escape Light of a Returning to Emptiness cultivator?

Just as Manager Zhou and Guang Qianjian got ready, a black and white bicolored Escape Light appeared on the horizon.

Fang Xi’s eyes flashed with a strange light upon seeing a two-headed Demon Flood Dragon.

This Demon Flood Dragon had heads colored black and white, its aura around the sixth tier lower grade, equivalent to an early-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator.

What was more terrifying, however, was the blood-pupiled, ferocious member of the Demon Clan standing on its head, his body overflowing with True demon qi, evidently reaching the late-stage of Returning to Emptiness!

"Human cultivators, to die at the hands of me, Mo Xuan, is your honor," Mo Xuan said with a hearty laugh, opening his mouth to spew.

Several black lights mixed with thunder and lightning attacked the Spirit Boat.

Upon seeing this scene, a Black Iron Shield appeared in Manager Zhou’s hand, and suddenly, one shield split into two, and two into four... A sky full of black shields blocked the thunderous black lights.

Clang, clang!

Sparks flew as several long, pitch-black claws fell from mid-air.

He gestured with a wide sleeve, and the Spirit Boat was promptly retracted.

This Spirit Boat had incredibly fast flying speed and the capacity to conceal its Escape Light, but its defense was not particularly strong.

In a battle between those Returning to Emptiness, it was merely a hindrance.

"Fortunately, we only have one enemy, we’ll all take action together!" Manager Zhou gritted his teeth.

Now that their whereabouts were revealed, they must annihilate the enemy with the force of a thunderbolt and then go in search of the ’Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower’!

"Let this demon... be handled by me," said Master Dongqiuzi who stepped forward at this moment: "Just in time. I need to test the power of my Tri-hero Chessboard..."

He turned into a beam of Escape Light, blocking in front of Mo Xuan, with his late Returning to Emptiness magic power fluctuations causing Mo Xuan’s expression to grow solemn.

This demon, although reckless and arrogant, would not survive countless deaths if he behaved so against cultivators of the same rank.

"Go!"

Master Dongqiuzi tossed the ’Tri-hero Chessboard’ he held in his hands.

Rattle!

Amid the colorful brilliance, dozens of uniquely shaped puppets stood in the void, continuously expanding.

Among them, there were some resembling the Monster Clan’s flying birds and beasts, ferocious Demon Clan puppets, as well as human Golden Armored Sky Soldiers carrying bows and lances...

At this moment, each puppet’s magic power vibration was close to the fifth tier.

"Illusionary Array Spirits, with a thought become an array!"

Master Dongqiuzi continued to place pieces on the chessboard.

Clack!

With a crisp sound of the pieces being placed, the puppets’ eyes suddenly lit up, various spirit marks appeared on their bodies, starting to draw upon the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power, truly entering the fifth tier.

Even more so, their auras intertwined with one another, completely unified, forming a sixth-tier Great Array!

As the old man set up the array, Fang Xi, Manager Zhou, and Guang Qianjian naturally protected Master Dongqiuzi, guarding against attacks from the opposing demons.

Upon seeing this, Mo Xuan merely sneered, a ferociously shaped pitch-black Demon Blade appearing in his hand, paying no heed.

"Thank you, sirs, for your protection. Go!"

Master Dongqiuzi gave a long howl, with the Golden Armored Sky Soldiers taking the initiative to move first.
