Chapter 780 How to break the situation
Yunxi shook her head and said:
"Elder Mermaid, even if we wanted to escape unscathed now, it would be difficult. If my guess is correct, there should be a formation under the pile of bones. Otherwise, how could they control these bones that house demon souls?"
Furthermore, I didn't sense any aura of evil cultivators. They seemed very certain that nothing would go wrong here; they simply set up an array, but didn't even leave anyone to guard it.

The Demon King nodded his enormous head, confirming Yunxi's judgment:

“I did not sense any aura of the evil cultivator. As for the formation you mentioned, we can only see it after we have cleared away all these bones, since you are the only one here who understands formations.”

Hu Ben scratched his head in frustration. He knew his daughter's demon soul was right there but he couldn't take it away, which made him feel extremely aggrieved. Elder Longyu and Elder Mermaid were just as angry.

"These evil cultivators are truly vicious. This is a dead end. If we want to break the formation that binds the demon souls, we need to clear away these bones. But breaking the bones consumes their soul power. If we don't do this, we can't destroy the formation that controls them. What should we do?"

Elder Dragonfish puffed out his cheeks and said that he couldn't think of a better way for the time being.

More and more skeletal monsters surrounded She Baihui, and their attacks became increasingly fierce. Although they were all blocked by the Demon King's scales, the Demon King was so angry that he kept his tongue out, wishing he could shatter all the skeletons with a single tail strike.

But she knew that it was easy to do but difficult to finish. If she did it, the demon soul residing on the bones would be completely annihilated. She was a ninth-level demon king; when had she ever felt so frustrated?

After explaining their current situation, Yunxi remained silent, pondering how to break the deadlock. Being trapped here and subjected to a war of attrition was not a sustainable solution; no one could endure it indefinitely. Didn't you see that even the Demon King She was on the verge of losing his temper? Not to mention Hu Ben, who was deeply concerned for his daughter.

Finally, Yunxi flipped her hand, holding the Soul-Gathering Mirror in her palm, and said to the four great demons:
"Demon King She, the three of you, the only method I can think of is to use the Soul-Gathering Mirror to forcibly collect the demonic souls attached to the bones into the mirror. Without the demonic souls, these bones are just bones, which will make them easier for us to deal with. Most importantly, we need to break the formation beneath the bones, however..."

Hu Ben immediately spoke up:

"But what? Just say it, no need to beat around the bush."

Demon King She also said:
"Young friend Ranxi, what do you need us to do?"

Her mind worked faster than a tiger's, and she immediately realized that Yunxi must have taken a great risk by doing this and would definitely need their support.

Yunxi's pair of clear, bright eyes looked at the enormous snake head, and she said with a smile:

"Demon King She, please don't be offended, I do indeed need your help."

Yunxi paused here to make sure everyone's attention was on her, then continued:

"When I manipulate the Soul-Gathering Mirror, I consume soul power, not spiritual power. Before I can extract all the demon souls residing on the bones, you must protect me. No one knows what level this underground formation is. The formation attacks us by controlling demon souls. Now that I am going to seize the demon souls, the formation will definitely not give up easily. We cannot judge what kind of counterattack it will make, so the risk is very high."

Secondly, if my soul power is insufficient to extract all the demon souls, I will inevitably have to sacrifice some. These sacrifices are unavoidable, and you cannot blame me.”

She wanted to make it clear beforehand that she wouldn't be blamed for the deaths of these younger generations; she wouldn't accept that outcome.

Hu Ben and the two elders, Long Yu and Jiao Ren, exchanged glances and finally gritted their teeth and agreed. What else could they do but agree? They had no right to blame Fellow Daoist Ran Xi. She was fighting with her soul power, and the damage to the soul was not easy to repair. Everyone understood this principle. Moreover, they had only met by chance, and the other party was a human cultivator. It was already more than enough that she had done her best.

Seeing that the three had all agreed, Yunxi then cupped her hands to Demon King She and said:
"My Lord Demon King, upon receiving my signal, immediately unleash your most powerful attack to destroy the formation beneath the pile of bones. It must be destroyed in one strike, leaving no chance for the formation to retaliate. This formation is likely maintained by soul power; if it is given a chance to breathe, the formation may absorb the remaining demon souls that have not been captured, leaving no chance for redemption."

The strength of a demon's soul surpasses that of a human cultivator. Even if it's shattered by the Demon King, it can be collected and slowly nurtured. However, if all its soul power is drained by an array, then it's all gone.

She Baihui nodded and said:
"I understand. Try to avoid the bones when attacking."

After explaining the situation, Yunxi nodded to the four great demons, then injected a ball of soul power into the Soul-Gathering Mirror, manipulating it to rise above the entire pile of bones.

After the Soul-Gathering Mirror appeared, the Bone Beast briefly stirred, then launched an even fiercer attack, only to be swept aside by the Demon King She with a flick of its tail.

With a thought, Yunxi's golden immortal armor covered her entire body. She leaped into the air and uttered only one word:

"go!"

Subsequently, Yunxi, Huben, and the two elders, under the cover of Demon King She, also quickly ascended and surrounded Yunxi, preparing to protect her.

Yunxi quickly formed hand seals, pouring a continuous stream of soul power into the Soul-Gathering Mirror, and said in a deep voice:
"Soul Absorption!"

The Soul-Gathering Mirror, which was suspended above the pile of bones, trembled twice and then rapidly expanded. The entire mirror surface exerted an irresistible suction force on the bones below, and a black vortex appeared on the mirror surface again, forcibly absorbing the demon soul attached to the bone beast.

One by one, the colorful orbs of demonic souls were uncontrollably drawn into the Soul-Gathering Mirror. The skeletons, deprived of the support of the demonic souls, automatically disintegrated and collapsed to the ground.

As Yunxi injected more and more soul power, the Soul-Gathering Mirror absorbed demon souls at an increasingly faster speed, which brought smiles to the faces of Hu Ben and the other two who were protecting Yunxi.

Only the Demon Queen She had her vertical pupils fixed on the center of the pile of bones. From there, all the bones were rapidly disintegrating, but she felt it wasn't fast enough. She was already preparing her most powerful attack.

Just as things were looking up, a sudden change occurred. A red light suddenly appeared beneath the disintegrating bones, as if the formation below had sensed Yunxi's actions and was preparing a counterattack.

Yunxi knew the formation was starting to counterattack, and immediately sent a telepathic message to Demon King She:

"Demon King, now is the time!"

She Baihui's attack landed almost simultaneously with Yunxi's telepathic message. The huge golden ring snake tail fell heavily with unstoppable force. To ensure that there was no mistake, after the heavy blow caused all the white bones to be blown away and floated up, She Baihui also spat out a mouthful of venom, which landed precisely on the array that had been cracked.

The Demon King's venom was truly potent, accelerating the collapse of the formation. The venom rapidly spread throughout the entire formation, and the bones that were stained with the venom instantly turned black, turning into dust in less than two breaths.

The entire pile of bones began to shake violently, and in the next instant, a red light shot out from the cracked array, heading straight for Yunxi.
