Starting with summoning the succubus

Yun Muzhi's pupils suddenly contracted.

A giant monster with crimson skin and two horns on its head flapped its purple bat wings and slowly flew to the sky above the Purple Gold Pavilion. It looked at Yun Muzhi with its three blood-red eyes.

Most importantly, in the monster's right claw was a bloodied and mangled figure in a purple robe—it was Daozi Duanmu Yao!

Chapter 420 The Supreme Elder Appears

"The sect-protecting formation?"

The three-eyed monster atop the Purple Gold Pavilion slowly lifted the half-dead Duanmu Yao in its hand, and then, in front of Yun Muzhi, opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Duanmu Yao whole in one gulp.

After it finished eating, it even opened its mouth and let out a burp.

"laugh!"

The three-eyed monster patted its bulging belly, then let out a hoarse, mocking laugh towards Yun Muzhi: "You want him to activate the great formation? Too bad, he's inside my belly, so he can't seem to hear you anymore, hee hee hee..."

"..."

Yun Muzhi's eyes widened slightly as he watched this "dramatic" scene.

During his six years at Stone Turtle Mountain, he had considered countless ways to take revenge on Duanmu Yao, as well as countless ways for Duanmu Yao to die.

But he never imagined that one day he would see Duanmu Yao die so carelessly in front of him.

But on second thought, it seems to make sense.

Duanmu Yao has a bright future and is extremely talented.

But talent is talent, and ability is ability.

The still young Duanmu Yao was far from reaching the peak of his cultivation, only at the peak of the seventh realm. With the cultivation of the seventh realm, it was only natural that he would die when facing this extraterrestrial demon who was equivalent to an eighth-realm Qi cultivator... But, did Duanmu Yao really die like that?!

"Red skin, two horns, bat wings, three eyes!"

At this moment, Qi Lin entered his demonic form, flapping his four blood-flame wings as he slowly flew out of the White Cloud Pavilion and came to Yun Muzhi's side. Gazing at the three-eyed monster in the distance, he said in a deep voice, "It's the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon. Daoist Yun, it seems your Demon-Prison Peak can't hold these demons."

As soon as she finished speaking, Catherine, who had activated her true demonic transformation and transformed into a six-armed demon, flew out of the White Cloud Pavilion.

Elena also manifested her succubus form, flapping her succubus wings and hovering on Catherine's shoulder.

"Oh?"

The three-eyed ancient demon who had devoured Duanmu Yao in the distance was puzzled upon seeing the three of them appear. "Human demon envoys? And two succubi? How did you end up in this world?"

Hey! You three-eyed bastard!

With her hands on her hips, Elena grinned and shouted at the other person, "We're all from the same hometown, how about we make a deal? If you obediently surrender, then when we devour you, we won't chew you up, and we'll let you die a quick and painless death, how about that?"

"Ok?"

Qi Lin looked at Elena in astonishment.

“Master, that’s an eighth-tier three-eyed ancient demon,” Catherine transmitted her voice. “I’ll deal with it, and then I’ll have Elena possess you to help you devour it, and you’ll be able to advance to the eighth tier! Previously, this group of three-eyed ancient demons was imprisoned in the Demon Prison Peak, so we couldn’t take action. But now that it has escaped and attacked the Dao Child of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect, it should be reasonable for us to help kill it, right?”

"good idea."

Qi Lin smiled and nodded.

"Elena, I'll take the main attack, you provide ranged support!"

With Qi Lin's permission, Catherine flapped her demon wings and rushed out, creating a piercing sonic boom in the air. She instantly reached the three-eyed ancient demon and engaged it in close combat!

As for Elena, her body was now glowing with multicolored magical light, preparing to assist Catherine in defeating the three-eyed ancient demon.

"No, there's more than one!"

At this moment, Yun Muzhi turned around and looked at various places in the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Qi Lin also looked around.

At this very moment, explosions and roars resounded from various locations within the Tianyuan Dao Sect, with demonic auras rising and falling, erupting one after another from different parts of the sect!

Each location where demonic energy erupts represents a three-eyed ancient demon that has successfully escaped from Demon Prison Peak!

In the blink of an eye, one magnificent building after another collapsed in the Dao Sect.

Amidst the ruins, one Dao Sect disciple after another perished under the claws of the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon!

"Master Yun, leave this to us. You go and rescue the others."

Qi Linchao said to Yun Muzhi.

"Damn it! How did these extraterrestrial demons escape?!"

Yun Mu roared angrily, his eyes wide with fury, then transformed into a storm and sped away, heading straight for the location where demonic energy was erupting, ready to go to the rescue!

……

……

"Duanmu Yao, what do you mean?"

Tianyuan Dao Sect, underground cave.

A massive, three-eyed ancient demon stared in astonishment at Duanmu Yao, who was dressed in a purple-gold robe, and asked, "You want my elder brother to eat 'you'? What's going on? What was that thing he just ate?"

"Just a clone."

Duanmu Yao stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "After your elder brother and the other demons have killed all the targets I named, I will activate my Dao technique, switch places with the clone inside your elder brother's stomach, and then burst out of your elder brother's stomach to stage a dramatic breakthrough into the eighth realm and save the sect. This will not only clear my name but also earn me a great deal of merit and solidify my position as the Dao Child."

"Hey, you're really greedy, wanting both... Hmm? Wait a minute!"

The three-eyed ancient demon first grinned, then his expression changed slightly. "Duanmu Yao, what do you mean by that? My elder brother and the other ancient demons all have to die?!"

"nonsense."

Duanmu Yao remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Do you really think I can release all of you? Don't dream. Letting you go is already the limit. As for your elder brother and the other demons, they all have to die, and they have to be completely annihilated. Only in this way can the escaped demons have no way to count their numbers, thus allowing you to escape smoothly. Otherwise, even if you can leave Tianyuan Dao Sect, you won't be able to live a carefree life for more than a few days."

"Roar!" the three-eyed ancient demon roared furiously, "Duanmu Yao! That's not what you said before!"

"What are you pretending for?"

Duanmu Yao looked up at the three-eyed monster in front of him and sneered, "Kumora, you killed your own seventh brother on the battlefield to steal military merits. Do you think I don't know that? You don't care about the lives of your blood relatives at all, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to cooperate. We all know each other inside and out, so why are you pretending? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Hey……"

The Three-Eyed Ancient Demon instantly changed his expression, chuckling, "Oh dear, Daoist Master, you should let me put on a show a little, otherwise I'll feel guilty, hehe."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense."

Duanmu Yao waved his hand impatiently and urged, "Hurry up and go. Follow this tunnel outwards, and you'll reach the inner perimeter of Luzhu Canyon. I'll contact you again in a while, and then you... um?!"

As he spoke, Duanmu Yao's face showed terror, his pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably!

"Hey? What's wrong?"

The Three-Eyed Ancient Demon was somewhat surprised by his reaction, and then followed his gaze to look behind him.

Not far behind him, beside the rock wall, a little boy dressed in a black Taoist robe had silently appeared. However, his expressionless face and indifferent, lifeless eyes made him look unlike a normal child.

"..."

The three-eyed ancient demon looked at the little boy, and the red pupils of its three eyes contracted in an instant. Its huge body trembled uncontrollably, just like Duanmu Yao's, as if it were recalling an unspeakable terror!

"boom!"

Duanmu Yao finally realized what was happening, and immediately knelt down, frantically kowtowing, or rather... banging his head!

His face was filled with terror as he frantically kowtowed to the boy in black robes, his head bleeding profusely until it was a bloody mess, yet he dared not stop. His voice was filled with panicked sobs: "Grand...Grand Elder, I...I...you...you listen to me...I...I...I...I..."

"Li...Li Shan?!"

At this moment, the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon also let out a shrill scream, then its whole body burst with purple-black light, and it turned and ran away.

"boom!"

The boy in black robes remained expressionless. With a gentle wave of his right hand, the three-eyed ancient demon instantly exploded, turning into pools of dark red flesh and blood that splattered all over Duanmu Yao, who was kneeling and kowtowing. The remaining flesh and blood stuck to the surrounding rock walls.

"The Supreme Elder? The Supreme Elder?!"

Duanmu Yao grew increasingly terrified, his voice trembling uncontrollably. He couldn't utter a single complete sentence, only kneeling and kowtowing repeatedly until his face was covered in blood and the wound on his forehead was so deep that the bone was visible.

"..."

The boy in black robes never once looked directly at the eighth-tier ancient demon; he simply stood there, staring expressionlessly at Duanmu Yao.

Duanmu Yao did not dare to stop kowtowing for a moment.

Do you still remember Yun Muzhi?

After a long while, the boy in black robes slowly spoke, uttering a soft, youthful voice: "On the day of my eight hundredth birthday, that child gave me a brocade pouch, saying that he had suddenly decided to tell my fortune. When I opened it, I found a note inside that told me to come to this cave today."

I asked him then, "What is the interpretation of this hexagram?"

He said awkwardly that he didn't really know. Maybe there would be a surprise or a shock when he arrived, or maybe he had miscalculated and there was nothing at all.

Afterwards, I didn't think much of it, considering it just the younger generation's foolishness, and even thought about throwing the brocade pouch away.

But the sect leader's junior brother was very serious, saying that the child's divination talent was extraordinary, and repeatedly persuaded me to pay attention to this divination.

So, I remembered this incident.

Finally, according to the divination, I have arrived at this place on this very day.

Then I saw you, and I saw that defeated foe who had just died.

As it turns out, the sect leader's junior brother was right about him; Mu Zhi's divination skills could indeed bring the sect another thousand years of prosperity.

In contrast, I misjudged him, and I was terribly wrong.

"Duanmu Yao, oh Duanmu Yao, I once told my junior brother, the sect leader, 'You are a child destined for greatness. With just a little more tempering, given time, you will surely lead the sect to even greater heights…' Ha, now it seems my judgment was truly terrible, a laughingstock indeed."

The boy in the black robe shook his head and chuckled as he finished speaking.

Duanmu Yao, who was kneeling in front of him, stopped kowtowing, lowered his head, and stood there stunned, blood dripping from the wound on his forehead, staining the ground red.

"Ugh……"

The boy in black robes turned around, stepping on the bits of flesh scattered on the ground, and slowly walked towards the cave exit, his back to Duanmu Yao, and sighed softly.

"Ah Yao, you have committed an irreparable crime, but whether you live or die, whether you are killed or punished, let the Enforcement Hall decide after we return."

"Let's go back to the sect."
