"The demonic qi ahead is very heavy, let's be a little careful, I fear the gathered Heavenly Demons are not a small number."
The "wolf smoke magic orb" was flying at low altitude, yet its speed was exceedingly fast, sweeping like the wind and flashing like lightning. Even the fastest galloping horse could not compare to one-third of this magic orb's speed. However, compared to some escaping lights and sword lights of the Divine Ability Realm, it was much slower. But extreme caution makes a ship sail for ten thousand years, and Fang Han would not force himself to push the speed faster.
He was now rather adept at utilizing the Heavenly Wolf Smoke. He already knew that the core array formation of the Heavenly Wolf Smoke was in that small grid of the Seven Malignant Gourd. As long as he concentrated his spirit fiercely, the faster that core array formation operated, the greater the power of the Heavenly Wolf Smoke would be. The more scattered his spirit, the smaller the power would be.
Driving the Heavenly Wolf Smoke also consumed quite a bit of spirit.
However, Fang Han's physical body was now tyrannical and his mind was clear, so his spiritual power also rose accordingly. In particular, bitterly practicing the "Primal Time Spirit Art" every day, his spirit was accumulated to be exceedingly vigorous and his willpower refined. He only waited for the day when his accumulation was vigorous enough to break through the barrier and transform his spirit into magical power, stepping into the Divine Ability Realm.
In this Heavenly Demon battlefield, facing the Heavenly Demons, Fang Han benefited immensely. Specifically, the newly learned "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon" was a supreme art for harmonizing the spirit with the physical body, possessing excellent miraculous uses for condensing the spirit.
Now gradually, while manipulating the Heavenly Wolf Smoke and contemplating the relationship between "physical body," "sound," "spirit," and "willpower," he suddenly had a new layer of clear understanding. Suddenly, an extremely vast and intense cold yin qi was distinctly yet faintly transmitted from ahead, as if they were approaching a great snowy mountain.
This intense cold yin qi was sensed by Fang Han, and he immediately spoke to issue a warning, slowing down the speed of the Heavenly Wolf Smoke once again.
"I also felt the thick demonic qi!" Xu Yue'er took out a yellow-colored talisman from her bosom and ignited it with a True Fire Talisman. This talisman immediately flew out, turned into a streak of firelight, and burst apart with a bang, surprisingly scattering into thousands of fire sparks falling to the ground.
"Ah! There are fully thousands of Heavenly Demons. This talisman of mine is called the Demon Seeking Talisman. It is a magic instrument that, once burned and thrown into the air, can sense demonic qi. For however many demon heads there are, this talisman will explode into that many fire sparks. Now there are hundreds and thousands of fire sparks, too many to count… We had better avoid it first."
Xu Yue'er said gravely. The eight female disciples were all somewhat panicked. Indeed, a few thousand Heavenly Demons were not something they could handle; even having a Treasure Artifact wouldn't do.
"With so many Heavenly Demons gathered here, they are definitely not playing house. There must be disciples trapped. And quite a lot of them. We still have to go over, just paying a little attention will be fine. Even if we encounter thousands of Heavenly Demons, if we do not attack and defend with all our might, we can still hold up for some time."
Fang Han was completely unafraid, bold but careful. These eight female disciples of the Jialan Society could not help but admire his courage.
Flying slowly, right before their eyes, tall mountain peaks stood in great numbers. Reaching into the sky, they were all bare mountain peaks without a single tree. Looking past the opposite side of the mountain peaks, there was a vast and boundless great plain. Distinctly yet faintly, one could see on the plain that sinister winds suddenly rose, howling and spinning everywhere.
And under the shroud of that sinister wind, there were indeed disciples of the Yuhua Sect. This time it was not eight or nine, nor over a dozen, but fully two to three hundred people!
These disciples were all enveloped within the sinister wind.
Besieging them were fully over three thousand Heavenly Demons! Dozens of Heavenly Demon leaders approaching the Demon King level!
"What magic treasure is that? To actually be able to withstand the attack of three thousand Heavenly Demons?" Fang Han said in shock. To deal with Heavenly Demons, there is indeed strength in numbers; if hundreds of disciples with profound cultivation let out a wild roar, the Heavenly Demons would also be directly torn apart, but several thousand Heavenly Demons were simply too many.
However, Fang Han saw that suspended right above the heads of these disciples were fully nine fist-sized, golden glittering pagodas! These golden pagodas emitted dense golden light, like an incomparably huge pot lid, covering these disciples upside down within it. No matter how the Heavenly Demons outside flew disorderly, they just couldn't break this golden light.
And the disciples protected inside, in groups of three or clusters of five, held small magic instrument bells in their hands, vigorously shaking them to also emit sonic waves, attacking outward. Some disciples actually took out a leather sack that surprisingly emitted wind inside, sucking a Heavenly Demon into the leather sack.
"Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda! That is the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda! This is the magic treasure that guards the entire Tiandu Peak, possessing boundless power, a Pure Yang Treasure Artifact! How could it appear in the hands of these outer sect disciples? Oh? Those are… nine inner sect disciples. They must have received rescue."
Seeing those nine small golden pagodas actually emitting a thousand layers of golden light, Ye Yu couldn't help but cry out in surprise. She couldn't help but be shocked, because this Treasure Artifact was truly too astonishing.
"Pure Yang Treasure Artifact… Not bad, this Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda is a Pure Yang Treasure Artifact! Moreover, it is much purer than the Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope. It is my best food. If I swallowed these nine golden pagodas, I could fully recover to the fifth layer of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven-Human Realm, and then I could refine Spirit Artifacts for you…"
"Yan" fluctuated intensely inside the Yellow Spring Map.
Only by eating pure Yang magic treasures could he recover his strength. And now this Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda was exactly a supreme pure Yang treasure that could be encountered but not sought.
"Since the Yuhua Sect has already sent people to rescue, if you don't want to be captured, have your tendons pulled out and your skin peeled, don't harbor ideas about this Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda." Fang Han said secretly, "The most urgent task right now is to kill a few more Heavenly Demons and refine more pills."
Afterward, he raised his voice: "Since a magic treasure like the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda has even come out, the Yuhua Sect's rescue has already begun. Bargin into the protective layer of the golden pagodas, I'm afraid it will be safer right there!"
"That's right, the rumor goes that the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda was personally bestowed by the Supreme Headmaster to the first true disciple, Senior Brother Hua Tiandu of Tiandu Peak. Senior Brother Hua Tiandu has always used it to guard his Tiandu Peak. Its appearance here this time, sacrificed by nine inner sect disciples separately, clearly shows that Senior Brother Hua has also arrived here to go execute other evil demons, while leaving the golden pagodas to protect everyone. Us going inside the golden pagodas will be absolutely safe."
Xu Yue'er also agreed.
"How did so many disciples gather together?" Fang Han asked. When he was sent to this Heavenly Demon battlefield, he was a solitary person.
"We all have communication spirit talismans. This kind of small magic instrument is easily obtained." Ye Yu took out a small spirit talisman and handed it to Fang Han: "Take it. If we disperse in the future, you can use the guidance of this spirit talisman to find every single member of our Jialan Society."
"Let's go! Let's make an all-out effort, fight our way into the encirclement of the three thousand Heavenly Demons, and enter into the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda! Converge with those disciples!" Fang Han formed his resolve, fiercely contracting the Heavenly Wolf Smoke and increasing its power.
"You don't need to go anywhere!"
Right at this moment, a voice came from behind them. Fang Han's heart quivered, terror rising as he looked behind. He saw a tall man standing not far behind him, his eyes entirely white, like two clusters of ghost fire burning.
"This venerable one is the King of Heavenly Demons, the Great Majestic Demon King. You fully killed over five hundred of my subordinates, your crime deserves ten thousand deaths."
The Great Majestic Demon King spoke in a voice entirely devoid of emotion.
