Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 258

Gu Shihan raised her head, her gaze fixed on the direction where the demonic bird had disappeared, and remained silent.

After a long while, she slowly spoke, "Alright! In that case, let's go after them and see what's going on! There must be some unknown secret hidden behind this. This demonic bird was clearly deliberately tamed, but who in the Immortal Realm would raise such an evil demon?"

Without further hesitation, the two of them flashed and sped off in the direction the demonic bird had flown away.

Throughout the journey, Gu Shihan's mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts, various ideas constantly surfacing. The more she thought about it, the more she felt the situation was dire, and her expression grew increasingly grim.

Demonic cultivators... demonic birds... why have they suddenly appeared in this realm? Could it be that a fierce conflict between humans and demons is about to erupt once again?
We finally managed to quell the great disaster brought about by the dark energy. If a war between humans and demons were to break out now, it would be adding insult to injury!

When will this world, plagued by disasters, finally find true peace? Thinking of this, Gu Shihan couldn't help but sigh deeply, but her pace didn't slow down at all.

Gu Shihan and Xing Bai followed closely behind the faint traces left by the demonic bird, and soon they arrived at an unusually quiet valley.

The valley was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and through the hazy mist, one could vaguely see an ancient, antique pavilion standing quietly there.

The melodious flute music emanated from this mysterious pavilion, like heavenly music, echoing throughout the valley.

The two dared not let their guard down and tiptoed slowly toward the pavilion.

Just as they reached a point not far from the pavilion, suddenly, a large group of ferocious monsters surged out like a tidal wave and instantly surrounded them.

Gu Shihan and Xing Bai immediately assumed a high-altitude, ready-to-fight stance, focusing intently on the menacing monsters around them.

Just then, a series of heavy footsteps were heard, and the tightly closed doors of the pavilion slowly opened. Then, a tall man dressed in a magnificent black robe walked out with elegant steps.

The man exuded a chilling aura, and his eyes were as cold and ruthless as icy stars.

He raised his head slightly and said in a contemptuous tone, "Hmph, you two are really audacious, daring to chase me all the way here."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan's eyes widened in anger, and she shouted, "Who exactly are you? Why did you order those demonic birds to attack us?"

The man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer: "Haha, ignorant brat! It's alright to tell you, I am the Demon General Youye. This Heaven will soon completely fall into the territory of my Demon Clan. You so-called cultivators, if you have any self-awareness, you'd better tuck your tails between your legs and get far away from me."

Gu Shihan was even more furious upon hearing this. He pointed at Youye and roared, "Wishful thinking! You demons not only cruelly murdered so many cultivators who wanted to ascend to immortality, but also forced ordinary cultivators to do hard labor and mine. Such heinous acts are simply intolerable! Even if it means fighting to the death, we will fight you to the very end!"

Gu Shihan unleashed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and Xingbai also gripped her magic weapon tightly.

Seeing this, Youye waved his hands, and the demon soldiers swarmed forward.

Gu Shihan and Xingbai fought side by side, unleashing the full power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and Xingbai's Heavenly Fire, causing many monsters to fall in an instant.

But Youye remained unmoved. He quickly formed hand seals and muttered incantations, causing demonic energy to surge around him in an instant.

As if emboldened, the monster lunged at the two even more fiercely.

Gu Shihan and Xing Bai gradually felt the strain, and several wounds appeared on their bodies.

Suddenly, several figures appeared behind You Ye. Sword light flashed, and the attack was already upon him. You Ye had to withdraw his attack on Gu Shihan to defend against the sword light. It turned out that Shi Qinghan and the others had arrived. Duan Siqi quickly reached Gu Shihan's side and shouted, "Dual Swords Combined!"

Gu Shihan understood immediately and unleashed the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword, its powerful sword energy directly threatening Youye.

Enraged, Youye was distracted and injured by the sword energy of Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi.

Xingbai seized the opportunity, her foxfire aimed straight at his chest. Youye hastily dodged, but was still burned.

Taking advantage of Youye's panic, the group exchanged glances and simultaneously unleashed their most powerful moves.

A flash of light appeared, and powerful energy swept towards the dark night like a surging torrent.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Youye widened his eyes, muttered incantations, and emitted black mist around his body in an attempt to resist.

All of them possessed the strength of celestial beings, and the power they unleashed was as unstoppable as Mount Tai crushing an egg.

Despite Youye's best efforts to hold on, he ultimately could not withstand the terrifying power unleashed by the combined strength of the group.

With a loud bang, Youye screamed as he was sent flying, crashing heavily into the mountainside.

His body began to tremble, and wounds opened up, splattering blood everywhere.

Unable to withstand the severe injury, Youye's body transformed into wisps of black smoke, and he fled in a disheveled state into the distance.

Seeing You Ye escape, Gu Shihan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they all knew very well that this battle was just the beginning, and the real crisis was yet to be resolved.

"It seems that the demons' conspiracy this time is no small matter! If we don't stop it in time, the consequences will be unimaginable," Shi Qinghan said.

"How did you get here so quickly? Did you find anything?" Gu Shihan asked.

Mo Yu said, "We've investigated some places, and all the clues are related to demonic cultivators. There are a few places we need to check."

This is one of them, and Long Teng said he sensed your presence, so we came over, and luckily we made it in time.

"Junior sister, you were too careless. You should have notified us before making a move. It's too dangerous!"

“Yes! Shi Han, we are a team. If you get injured, we will be sad!” Duan Siqi said disapprovingly, her eyes wide.

"Hehe, it was just an accident because I didn't have time. I'll be more careful next time!" Gu Shihan quickly said with a smile, trying to appease him.

"Little sister! You've been too naughty. I won't punish you today, but you mustn't be so reckless in the future!" Shi Qinghan chimed in.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! It won't happen again. Everyone, what's the next step?" Gu Shihan quickly changed the subject.
