Daily Divination: A Sneaky Undercover Agent in the Demonic Sect

Chapter 102 Shameless Scoundrel (Part 1)

The Claw Demon was indeed ferocious, its sharp claws leaving several wounds on Ash's body, but Ash's demonic body was strong and he was unharmed.

Duanmu Yao's icy flying sword also arrived just in time to provide support, killing all three Cracked Claw Demons.

The team continued to advance, and as they got closer to the corner of the formation, the number of monsters around them increased dramatically.

Suddenly, a series of piercing shrieks came from mid-air, and dozens of demonic bats swooped down like black arrows, heading straight for the group's heads.

Cui Youliang, who was the first to be affected, immediately activated the soul-summoning banner. The spirits on the banner transformed into a barrier, slowing down the speed of the bat swarm.

Lu Yunhe's black iron shield followed closely behind, blasting several demonized bats to death.

Shen Li made a sword incantation with her hands, and the flying sword spun in the air, cutting the approaching bats into pieces.

The remaining mutated bats were eliminated by the following groups B and C.

In the blink of an eye, the first wave of aerial attacks was successfully neutralized thanks to the team's coordinated efforts.

But more demonic bats and demonic flying ants are gathering.

Duanmu Yao urgently commanded, "Don't linger, keep moving forward!"

However, they hadn't gone far when a ferocious, mutated giant lizard roared and charged at them.

Its body was enormous, like a small mountain, and its dark green skin was covered with pus-like bumps. With each step it took, it left corrosive claw marks on the ground.

The giant lizard opened its massive, festering mouth and spewed a thick stream of black demonic energy at the crowd.

The demonic energy was foul and repulsive, mixed with a corrupting poisonous mist.

Sensing danger, Duanmu Yao instantly rushed to the front, her Frost Sword spinning rapidly. The icy aura emanating from the sword collided with the demonic energy, producing a violent hissing sound.

The poisonous mist of demonic energy quickly corroded Duanmu Yao's magical power.

Shen Li immediately summoned the Azure Bell, and a pale blue light shield opened up in front of everyone, keeping the poisonous fog out.

The mutated giant lizard's all-out attack was neutralized, and its eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light as it immediately gathered its strength to spew poisonous mist again.

Seizing the gap between its two attacks, Duanmu Yao channeled her magic power, and the Frost Sword condensed into a long, icy blue rainbow, swiftly shooting into the giant lizard's gaping maw.

The sharp sword light pierced straight through his head.

The Three Powers Return to One Formation circulated once more, and the group continued their charge towards the North Corner.

They killed countless monsters along the way.

Finally, with everyone working together, they approached the north corner of the pentagram.

In fact, they originally had no chance of winning against such a large number of monsters.

However, the main target of these demons is the Demon-Sealing Array, not these trial participants.

Only cultivators who stand between them and the formation will be attacked.

This gave them the opportunity to come here alive.

With the formation in sight, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief and then focused their attention on it.

The array area in the north corner is shaped like a bull's horn, covering an area of ​​several hundred feet in circumference, and the main material of the array base is Xuanbing Jade.

As they approached, a chill swept over them, and their magical energy became somewhat sluggish. The demons chasing them were also affected by the formation, their speed noticeably slowed, and their movements stiffened.

Duanmu Yao's sharp gaze pierced through the layers of demons, looking into the depths of the formation.

At this moment, some people had already arrived at the corner of the formation; they were disciples from other peaks of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Haoyang Peak team has eight members remaining, with two lost; Yunxiao Peak team has lost three; the worst off is Qingyang Peak, whose original ten-person team has been reduced to five, with half of them killed in action.

This degree of damage also reflects the strength of each peak.

Surprisingly, these fellow disciples all stood behind the leader, showing no intention of offering any help.

The leader had a cold and stern face. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at Duanmu Yao and the others who were fighting among the demons through the array's spiritual light. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

This person is none other than Pang Sicheng, the leader of Haoyang Peak.

The others were also watching her, with varying expressions, but like Pang Sicheng, they all remained motionless.

It seems that Pang Sicheng has integrated all the other teams and gained absolute leadership.

This guy does have some tricks up his sleeve, but that's normal. Haoyang Peak goes without saying, and Yunxiao Peak has always been led by Haoyang Peak.

Although Qingyang Peak belongs to the sect leader's lineage, it has suffered heavy casualties and has lost its voice. In order to protect itself, it can only obey him.

Duanmu Yao exchanged a glance with the others, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

Shen Li also gave Pang Sicheng a deep look, thinking to himself: It's better to let this guy enter the formation first. But it's normal, we encountered danger in the Dead Wood Forest and the Broken Soul Valley, which wasted too much time.

But Pang Sicheng and the others saw their fellow disciples fighting against the demons and didn't come to their aid. What were they planning to do?

Did Pang Sicheng intend to use someone else to do his dirty work?

Isn't this a bit too early? The trial isn't over yet, and they're already trying to jump out?

Just then, Duanmu Yao killed the approaching demon with a single sword strike, then shouted, "Senior Brother Pang, why aren't you releasing the formation to let us in?"

The Five Elements Demon-Sealing Array is primarily designed to target demons, but it can also cause some damage to cultivators.

If the cultivators inside the formation intentionally manipulate it, those outside who want to enter will have to endure a triple attack from the formation, demons, and even the cultivators inside. Unless there is a significant disparity in strength between the two sides, it will be very difficult to break through.

At this moment, Pang Sicheng showed no intention of coming to his aid.

Duanmu Yao suppressed her anger and dared not approach the edge of the formation rashly.

If Pang Sicheng activates the formation to counterattack when they get close, they will be caught in a pincer attack and die here.

Upon hearing Duanmu Yao's call, Pang Sicheng simply smiled faintly: "Junior Sister Duanmu, eliminating demons is also one of the trial tasks."

The formation is currently being repaired, and there are many demons outside. We need your help to hold them off so we can repair the formation.

These words sounded grand and dignified, but they were extremely insidious.

He's right, eliminating monsters is indeed the task of the trial disciples, but it depends on the situation.

At this moment, Duanmu Yao's entire team was surrounded by demons, and if they did not enter the formation, they would surely die.

Pang Sicheng's claim that they should hold off the demons in order to repair the formation was utter nonsense.

Countless demons were attacking the formation frantically from outside. How many could the ten of them hold off?

This is clearly a way to use them as cannon fodder, deliberately preventing them from entering the formation. Their intentions are extremely malicious.

Gu Xiaolin, the leader of Qingyang Peak, couldn't bear to watch any longer and advised, "Senior Brother Pang, Senior Sister Duanmu is in a critical situation. Let's let them enter the formation first."

Pang Sicheng raised an eyebrow, looking at him meaningfully: "Oh? Why don't you guys go out and make backup?"

After saying that, he gave a wink.

The disciples from Haoyang Peak and Yunxiao Peak immediately changed positions, subtly forming an encirclement around the five people from Qingyang Peak, their intentions were crystal clear.

Gu Xiaolin sighed inwardly: Although we and Senior Sister Duanmu belong to the same lineage as the sect leader, Pang Sicheng is clearly up to something.
