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

Chapter 261

It turned out that the group of monks had just successfully captured several suspicious individuals.

After careful observation and interrogation, they strongly suspected that these people were colluding with those vicious demonic cultivators and were very likely insidious traitors hiding within the cultivation world.

At this moment, Gu Shihan stepped forward and stared intently at the suspects who were bound hand and foot and closely guarded. A hint of doubt involuntarily flashed across her eyes.

Just then, one of them suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Gu Shihan with a cold and fierce look, like those of a venomous snake.

He let out a disdainful snort: "Hmph, don't get too cocky! How could our great Demon Lord's grand plan be halted by such a small setback? Your good days are over!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback. No one expected that this person, who was imprisoned, could still be so arrogant and domineering, showing no respect for anyone. It seemed that the power behind him was not to be underestimated.

However, faced with such provocation, Gu Shihan remained unusually calm and composed. A slight, chilling smile played on her lips as she replied, "You heartless demonic cultivators have committed countless atrocities, long since incurring the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people, destined for destruction. Why do you dare to wreak havoc in our Immortal Realm when you can stay in your own Demon Realm?! Now that you are a prisoner, are you still unwilling to honestly confess?"

After hearing these words, the man simply burst into laughter, then shut his lips tightly and refused to utter another word.

Just then, Shi Qinghan leaned closer to Gu Shihan and whispered, "Shihan, for some reason, my intuition tells me that this matter is probably not as simple as it seems. Look at those people who were captured; they are far too calm, as if they were deliberately captured to attract our attention."

Gu Shihan was startled by what he heard. He stared intently at the people being escorted, his gaze sharp. After a moment, he nodded slightly, indicating that he deeply agreed with what Shi Qinghan said.

In an instant, the once clear sky suddenly turned pitch black, as if it had been soaked in ink, which filled people with fear.

A powerful surge of magical energy, almost tearing one's soul apart, rolled in from the distant horizon, as if a ferocious beast were opening its blood-red maw to pounce on them.

The cultivators' cultivation levels were insufficient, and the oppressive aura instantly turned their faces ashen, causing them to breathe rapidly.

On the other hand, those who had been regarded as spies of the demonic cultivators and were being escorted away all wore smug smiles that seemed to indicate their successful schemes.

Seeing this, Gu Shihan cried out in alarm, waved his hand to disperse the oppressive aura emanating from the demonic cultivator, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone be careful! We've probably fallen into the enemy's trap! Everyone, prepare for battle immediately! Execute these people on the spot!"

Upon hearing Gu Shihan's shouts, the cultivators snapped out of their daze and sprang into action. The men escorting the spy swiftly dispatched him with swift strokes of their knives.

They coordinated with each other at lightning speed, quickly forming a tight defensive formation. Everyone looked solemn and focused intently on the increasingly dense darkness ahead, ready for battle.

In the blink of an eye, a series of sharp, piercing whistling sounds came from afar, tearing through the sky.

Countless dark figures appeared out of thin air, surging forth like ghosts, baring their fangs and claws, carrying endless killing intent and an evil aura, sweeping towards the cultivators in an overwhelming wave. A breathtaking life-or-death battle was about to erupt.

Faced with such a perilous situation, the cultivators dared not be careless. They didn't even have time to feel fear, each unleashing their most powerful skills to fight back. Gu Shihan chanted incantations, her hands forming hand seals, and the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword appeared in her grasp!
With a slight flick of Gu Shihan's wrist, the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword instantly burst forth with a myriad of silvery light. The long sword danced, and her figure was elusive, like a ghost weaving through the enemy ranks.

Each swing of the sword brings forth a string of incomparably sharp sword energy. Wherever it passes, those demonic shadows melt away like snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly being annihilated into nothingness.

Duan Siqi and Mo Yuxin worked closely together, their spells and sharp sword energy intertwining to form an impenetrable net that firmly blocked the surging demonic shadows' attack.

The others also worked together in pairs, but there were simply too many of these demonic shadows, an astonishing number. They surged in like a never-ending tide, as if there would never be an end.

Faced with such a massive army of demonic shadows, even the usually calm and composed Shi Qinghan couldn't help but frown.

Suddenly, Shi Qinghan shouted, "Everyone, concentrate your forces and attack one spot to create an opening!"

The shout, as loud as a booming bell, instantly resounded throughout the entire battlefield. Upon hearing the command, everyone sprang into action, concentrating their spiritual energy into a single point.

In an instant, a dazzling beam of light shot out from everyone's hands, hurtling towards the encirclement of the demonic figures with overwhelming force.

A deafening roar followed, and the beam of light, like an indestructible sword, easily tore through the demonic shadow's defenses, finally creating an opening.

Before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief, a tall and imposing demonic cultivator general suddenly appeared from the darkness.

This person wielded an enormous axe and exuded a chilling, demonic aura, resembling a demon god descending from hell.

The demonic cultivator general laughed wildly, his voice deafening: "Hahahaha, you bunch of overconfident fools, do you really think you can escape like this? Let me tell you, today is your death day!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already swung the gleaming giant axe in his hand, bringing it down on the crowd with overwhelming force.

Most of the cultivators who come here are below the Human Immortal stage. Faced with such power, they would be lucky to protect themselves, let alone fight back.

Seeing the critical situation, Gu Shihan's eyes sharpened, and she led Mo Yu and the others to the front of the battlefield to meet the enemy once again.

At the same time, Xingbai, Yutong, Longteng, Jinzi, and others also joined the fierce battle without hesitation.

While the demonic cultivator general was focused on attacking the people in front of him, Xing Bai flashed and silently circled behind the demonic cultivator general like a ghost.
