The Yi Tribe cultivators' faces turned grim upon hearing High Priest Xuwang's words, followed by expressions of anger. It turned out that the three races, under the guise of mutual aid, had allied not to protect them but to turn them into sacrifices!
"The sacrifices still need to be stored."
The holy light on Flaming Six Wings gradually faded. Its once gentle and handsome face was now covered with yellow lumps, and the white feathers on its six wings started to fall off, turning into six plump, yellow wings. Yellow springs surrounded the wings, and within them seemed to be countless vengeful spirits crying.
Flaming Six Wings extended its scarlet tongue, licking its lips. The remaining experts of the Moon God Race also began to transform, shedding their previous serenity and becoming hideous Hell Messengers.
Many Yi Tribe cultivators were stunned to see the transformation of the Moon God Race!
The truth dawned that the Moon God Race, who always interacted with other races with a highly friendly appearance, had deceived them from the start!
Their true nature was the ugly Meat-Winged Monsters!
However, at this moment, appearances no longer mattered; the crucial difference was in strength. Despite the large numbers of remaining Yi Tribe cultivators, a majority were only at the orifice transforming and God Refining stages, hardly a match for the combined might of the experts from the three races.
"Is this the extent of your strength? Not a single late-stage Heavenly Connection among you?"
High Priest Xuwang still smiled.
Now, almost all Yi Tribes were on their opposing side. Even with a hundred Heavenly Connections among Xiang Beifei's side, there were only about twenty at mid-stage, with none at late-stage.
Just Xuwang alone, a late-stage Heavenly Connection expert, was enough to suppress this group.
Fu Qiuzi and Guan Cang, along with the mid-stage Heavenly Connection practitioners, all looked towards Xiang Beifei in grave concern.
Xiang Beifei glanced toward the distant green demonic mist, where Li Qianluo and the Night Demon were, the situation within still unknown.
At that moment, with a loud "boom," the green demonic mist in the air exploded. A figure emerged from the mist, landing on the ground awkwardly, stumbling several steps back, almost falling.
Upon a closer look, it turned out to be the late-stage Heavenly Connection Night Demon!
"Weakling, you think you can snatch my stuff."
Li Qianluo leisurely walked out from the demonic mist, as if on a casual stroll, all the while rubbing her fist, the knuckles cracking noisily. She appeared utterly impatient, as if defeating the Night Demon hadn't required much effort.
All the cultivators were stunned!
Even Xuwang and Flaming Six Wings' pupils contracted slightly!
They were well aware of the Night Demon's genuine late-stage Heavenly Connection strength!
Neither of them dared claim they could easily defeat the Night Demon. Yet, here he was, battered and bruised, his aura chaotic, evidently suffering severe injuries!
The Night Demon, defeated by Li Qianluo?
Li Qianluo emerged, grumbling, but noticed something amiss. The previously tense atmosphere seemed disturbed; everyone appeared fixated on her, leaving her quite puzzled.
However, she soon spotted Xiang Beifei at the forefront of the crowd, her eyes lighting up in surprise and delight as she excitedly shouted, "Wow! Xiao Bei, I knew you'd be alright!"
Li Qianluo happily ran over, embracing Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei raised his eyebrows.
Suddenly having someone in his arms felt a bit odd.
"I thought the Giant Spirit group had already captured and cooked you!" Li Qianluo quickly released him, playfully patting his shoulder.
"Not even enough for them to get caught in their teeth."
Xiang Beifei scoffed; luckily, he had a powerful grandfather. Otherwise, he might very well have been cooked.
Li Qianluo turned to the scene, placing her hands on her hips, inquiring, "Ha! So, it's a total face-off now, huh? Ready to fight?"
Fu Qiuzi, Guan Cang, and others exchanged glances, wasn't it obvious?
But in their hearts, they were quite astounded by Li Qianluo's capabilities!
Since the establishment of Zha Jiang Stronghold, Fu Qiuzi usually handled matters, Xiang Beifei having acted only once. They had never seen Li Qianluo in action.
Now they realized she wasn't an ordinary person!
Meanwhile, the distant Night Demon was both startled and enraged!
"Night Demon, what's with this Li Qianluo? Why are you in such a state?" Xuwang asked in a voice only meant for the Night Demon's ears.
The Night Demon gritted his teeth, saying, "We underestimated this girl. She's not what we imagined. Her origins are terrifying; we must...we must join forces to kill her! Otherwise, she'll be a major problem in the future!"
Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang exchanged a glance. Although they had no idea what the Night Demon encountered in that demonic mist earlier, they were determined not to let any Yi Tribe member leave alive today!
Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang simultaneously shouted!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage and Meat-Winged Monsters leapt into the sky. A terrifying shockwave formed, with tendrils and yellow spring water crisscrossing, combined with the spreading sinister green demonic mist, engulfing the banks of the Black Water River!
The Yi Tribe cultivators, seeing the fierce Meat-Winged Monsters and their menacing aura, dared not be careless. The Heavenly Connection experts ascended into the sky, unleashing their mighty auras!
"Very well, I can handle two, you take one?" Li Qianluo asked.
Xiang Beifei turned to Li Qianluo, "You didn't kill the Night Demon earlier."
Once more, Li Qianluo cracked her knuckles, letting out a hum, "Earlier, I had to quickly check on Fu Qiuzi and the others, lest they suffer...I'll finish off the Night Demon first! You hold them, and I'll come assist you in no time!"
Li Qianluo stepped forward, instantly transforming into a stream of light, suddenly flashing with a golden radiance, brilliant like the sun. She pierced through a Meat-Winged Monster at the forefront!
That Meat-Winged Monster, possessing early-stage Heavenly Connection strength, halted in mid-air, face full of shock!
The body of that Meat-Winged Monster exploded in the air!
An early-stage Heavenly Connection Meat-Winged Monster died instantly!
Erha's eyes brightened, truly impressed by Li Qianluo's concealed prowess. When she truly unleashed her power, she was terrifying! Erha eagerly carried Xiaohei forward, as Xiang Beifei had mentioned, early-stage Heavenly Connection Dao embryos could serve as snacks.
Xiaohei pounced and collected the Dao embryo of that Meat-Winged Monster!
The Night Demon, witnessing Li Qianluo's approach, was filled with apprehension, having suffered a significant setback earlier.
"Little girl, don't think I'm incapable of handling you!"
The Night Demon shouted, his body surging with rolling demonic qi, simultaneously biting his finger. Scarlet blood spread through the air, his body emanating a loud blood aura, his power surging as he faced Li Qianluo.
On the other side, Xuwang and Flaming Six Wings had surrounded Xiang Beifei!
"Do you think you can take us both on alone? How presumptuous!"
Xuwang coldly shouted, dozens of crimson tendrils extending from his back. These tendrils were covered with black holes, resembling suction cups, each one exuding a chilling and sinister power!
