How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

As the group walked deeper into the bushes, a sound suddenly came from the bushes.

Han Bingli paused in her steps.

Everyone stopped and looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.

The next moment, a small white fox, no bigger than a palm, emerged from the bushes.

With a recording stone dangling from its mouth, its round eyes timidly looked at the group. After putting down the recording stone, it "whooshed" into the bushes and disappeared without a trace.

Several people looked at each other.

"The fox clan?" Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, bent down to pick up the recording stone, and weighed it in his hand. "It seems that the seven-tailed fox sent someone to deliver the message."

"They're quite cautious, sending over such an insignificant little demon."

Han Bingli nodded, her gaze sweeping over the recording stone: "Let's see what it says first."

Chen Daoxuan nodded and channeled his spiritual energy into the recording stone.

hum! !

A faint spiritual light appeared on the recording stone, and then a soft and charming female voice slowly came from it: "Lord Divine Phoenix, and all the young heroes."

"I am Fox Charm, the chieftain of the Seven-Tailed Fox Clan. I asked this humble demon to deliver the message mainly because I was afraid that the news would be leaked and discovered by the Dragon Emperor's spies. This is not meant to be disrespectful to you all, and I ask for your forgiveness, Divine Phoenix and all the young heroes."

Fox Charm's voice was soft and melodious, with a hint of foxy charm.

"Just now, I went to the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons with the two clan leaders, Crimson Flame Tiger and Sky-Devouring Python, to discuss matters."

"The Dragon Emperor has made up his mind to eliminate you all. He has ordered all the quasi-emperors and demon emperors of our five great demon clans—the Soul-Devouring Sparrow, the Primordial Bull, the Crimson Flame Tiger, and the Sky-Swallowing Python—as well as my Seven-Tailed Fox clan, to go to Bull Demon Mountain to ambush you and wait for you to walk into the trap."

"On the surface, it appears to be a joint effort by the five clans. However, my three clans have already decided to submit to the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect, so naturally we will not truly be your enemies."

At this point, Fox Fairy lowered her voice, her tone becoming somewhat solemn: "Lord Divine Phoenix, there is something of utmost importance; please be extremely careful."

"The Dragon Emperor gave the Soul-Devouring Sparrow Clan Chief a secret treasure called the 'Phoenix-Locking Nail'."

"It is said that what the Dragon Emperor said was specifically designed to deal with you. Once you are hit, it will temporarily seal your Phoenix Fire and Nirvana Power, greatly reducing your strength."

"The Soul-Devouring Sparrow Clan Chief is most skilled at sneak attacks. Lord Divine Phoenix, you must be very careful."

Finally, Fox Charm's voice held a hint of determination: "Our three clans plan to join forces at Bull Demon Mountain to completely annihilate the Primordial Bull and Soul-Devouring Sparrow clans."

"At that time, as long as Lord Divine Phoenix gives the order, our three clans will act simultaneously."

"The remaining Dragon Emperor will have to be dealt with by you, Divine Phoenix. Our three races are too weak to help you."

"I urge Lord Shenhuang and all the young heroes to make preparations as soon as possible."

As the sound faded, the light from the recording stone went out.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances.

Chen Daoxuan weighed the recording stone in his hand and clicked his tongue: "The Phoenix Locking Nail... specifically designed to deal with Jinxiao? It seems that demonic dragon has some skill."

He looked up at Han Bingli, somewhat worried, "Senior Sister Bingli, is this thing... reliable? Could it be something that fox demon made up to deceive us?"

Han Bingli pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "What the Fox Clan Chief said is probably true. The main problem is that our Myriad Laws Sect is too prestigious. If something happens to us, the entire demon race will die. Deceiving us will not benefit them at all."

Ling Yunzhi nodded in agreement: "Junior Sister Bingli is right, but we still have to be careful. We'll just have to adapt to the situation."

Xiao Ningyun turned her head to the side and said seriously, "Jinxiao, be careful when the time comes, don't get hit by that 'Phoenix Locking Nail'."

Jin Xiao proudly raised his little head and smiled smugly: "Hehe, I don't even care about those Phoenix Locking Nails. I'll definitely kill those little bastards without leaving a trace."

"Then what should we do? Should we go straight to Bull Demon Mountain now?" Su Qingruo asked softly.

Han Bingli looked at everyone and chuckled, "Of course, if they want to ambush us at Bull Demon Mountain, we'll just play along."

She paused, her tone turning colder: "Perfect, let's wipe them all out at once."

Meanwhile, at this time, in the territory of the Primordial Wild Bull Clan.

Inside the enormous stone hall, demonic energy soared to the heavens.

Seventeen quasi-emperor level demons stood on both sides, each exuding a terrifying aura.

There were also more than sixty demon emperors standing below, densely packed together.

On the stone throne at the head of the table, the chieftain of the Bull Clan sat high, his face full of fighting spirit.

Its gaze swept over the four clan leaders and thirteen quasi-emperors from various clans below, and it shouted loudly:

"Gentlemen."

"Tomorrow, that phoenix will arrive at Bull Demon Mountain. With our eighteen quasi-emperors, over sixty demon kings, and the Phoenix-Locking Nail, a secret treasure... victory in this battle is assured!"

"But that phoenix is, after all, a Great Emperor realm cultivator; we absolutely cannot be careless. Everyone, let's discuss how to create an opportunity for the Soul-Devouring Sparrow to accurately fire the Phoenix-Locking Nail?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven-Tailed Fox Clan Chief stood up first and said softly, "In my opinion, the key to this battle still lies with the Soul-Devouring Sparrow."

"In the end, all of us are just a hindrance. The only thing that can truly take the phoenix's life is the Phoenix-Locking Nail."

"Therefore, the deployment should be decided by the Soul-Devouring Sparrow. We will simply follow its arrangements."

Beside him, the chieftain of the Devouring Python clan chimed in, "The Seven-Tailed Fox is right. Whether we can take that phoenix's life depends entirely on the Phoenix-Locking Nail. I also agree that the Soul-Devouring Sparrow should be in charge of this battle."

The Crimson Flame Tiger chieftain nodded in agreement, "I have no objection. Let's follow its arrangements in this battle!"

The three clan leaders unanimously declared that they would obey the Soul-Devouring Sparrow's arrangements.

Upon hearing this, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow nodded in satisfaction. It hadn't expected these three old guys to be so sensible. It had been worried that the Wild Bull would take advantage of the fact that this was its territory and try to seize command.

The chieftain of the Minotaur tribe, sitting at the head of the table, looked rather grim.

It was also hoping to perform well in this battle and perhaps gain the Dragon Emperor's favor!

However, upon further reflection, it realized that what those three had said wasn't entirely unreasonable. The Phoenix-Locking Nail was the key; if the Soul-Devouring Sparrow failed, even all eighteen of them combined wouldn't be a match for a single Great Emperor Phoenix.

The bull chieftain gritted his teeth, suppressing his displeasure, and reluctantly said, "Alright then."

"This battle will be decided by the Soul-Devouring Sparrow."

"Soul-Devouring Sparrow, tell everyone, what are your plans for this battle?"

Upon hearing this, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow felt smug.

He paused for a moment, then pretended to organize his thoughts, his tone carrying a hint of confidence: "It's very simple."

"Once that phoenix enters Bull Demon Mountain, all seventeen quasi-emperors should attack together."

"We don't need to hurt it, just enough for you to withstand the first few attacks from that phoenix. So what if it's a Great Emperor? With seventeen Quasi-Emperors joining forces, you should be able to hold out for a few breaths, right?"

"I will hide in the shadows, wait for the right moment, and deliver a fatal blow."

It sneered, its voice sinister: "Once it's hit by the Phoenix-Locking Nail, it'll be nothing but a plucked, sick bird! Then, won't it be at our mercy to kill it?"

"As for the remaining human juniors, they are nothing but ants at the Saint Realm, nothing to fear. We can kill them after we deal with that phoenix."

"good!"

The Bull Chieftain slapped his thigh and stood up, his bull eyes gleaming with excitement: "We'll do it your way! When the time comes, I, the Bull Chieftain, will be the first to charge!"

"With my physical body, withstanding two or three attacks from an early-stage Great Emperor is no problem!"

The thought of personally slaying a phoenix of Emperor level and making a great contribution in front of the Dragon Emperor made the Bull Clan Chief tremble with excitement.

It seemed as if it could already see a phoenix kneeling and begging for mercy.
