Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint smiled slightly and gently tossed the azure lotus bud in his hand into the air.

The lotus bud floated in the air, slowly rotating and emitting a soft blue light. Wherever the blue light reached, the space seemed to turn into an invisible swamp.

The three demon saints are equivalent to top experts in the human race who have entered the Dao realm. Moreover, they have the ancient treasure of the Thirty-Three Heavens Map to seal the space. This is no ordinary battle, but a peak duel that is enough to affect the world order.

Faced with this seemingly hopeless situation, Mr. Mo's languid expression finally vanished. The wine gourd at his waist rose up on its own without any wind, and the mouth of the gourd opened by itself.

He didn't try to catch the countless sticks, nor did he attempt to break free from the suppression of the blue light. He simply stood quietly in place and slowly raised his hand.

An indescribable, vast aura erupted from his body!

This aura was not violent, but incredibly profound, as if he were the center of this world, the very foundation of all things.

"At the level of enlightenment, a single thought arises and ceases."

Mr. Mo's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed within the Thirty-Three Heavens Map: "With this map, with the three of you, you think you can trap this old man? You underestimate me too much."

He raised his hand and gently brushed it aside, facing the thousands of crushing staff shadows, the shooting Xuanbing Divine Needles, and the pervasive pure blue light.

"Buzz!"

A deep, resonant hum, seemingly from the beginning of the universe, resounded.

In an instant, the countless shadows of sticks and cold needles vanished, and the blue light disappeared without a trace.

Even the slowly rotating phantom of the Thirty-Three Heavens Map suddenly stopped and the image distorted slightly as Mr. Mo flicked it.

The White Ape Demon Saint grunted and staggered back several steps, his blood and qi churning.

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint smiled slightly, "Well done, Mo Wentian. It is said that you entered and exited the Demon Court three times back then, as if you were in an empty place. You do indeed have some real skills."

"No wonder everyone says you're the best at forgetting emotions."

"But don't rush, you're not getting away today. We'll play with you slowly." He raised his hand and lightly commanded, "Thirty-Three Heavens Map, suppress!"

With a low shout, the Thirty-Three Heavens Map shone brightly, and the images in each layer of the sky became clearer. There were phantom images of gods and demons, the sun, moon and stars moving around, and an infinite suppressive force descending.

Like thirty-three layers of superimposed worlds, it aims to completely suppress Mr. Mo.

The Xuanbing Demon Emperor and the White Ape Demon Saint also unleashed their full power once again, freezing the heavens and earth and sweeping away the universe with their staffs.

Mr. Mo, standing at the center of the scroll, faced a terrifying combined attack capable of killing an ordinary cultivator at the Dao Realm, yet his expression remained calm.

He slowly raised the gourd and tilted his head back to gulp down a mouthful of strong liquor.

"That was great! Let's do it again!"

In Tiger Wolf Gorge.

The arrival of Chu Jinghong, the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division, boosted the morale of all the soldiers within the pass.

Behind him stood more than a hundred powerful cultivators, elites from various sects in Liangzhou. Among them were no fewer than ten experts at the Breaking Illusion Realm, and the rest were at least at the late stage of the Primordial Induction Realm.

After exchanging greetings with Hu Cheng and learning about the latest battle situation, Chu Jinghong dismissed everyone else, leaving only Chen Shuo and Manager Luo.

"What? You said Li Yuan was kidnapped?" Chu Jinghong frowned after hearing Chen Shuo's report. "How long ago was this? What about Mr. Mo?"

"It was three days ago. Mr. Mo has been out of contact since he came out of seclusion. He must have been held up." Chen Shuo looked ashamed. "At that time, the demon race was targeting all of us. It was an accident that they captured Li Yuan and Zhao Lingyun."

"It was all my fault, Commander. Please punish me." Chen Shuo knelt down on one knee.

"We'll talk about that later. The most urgent thing is to discuss how to save them," Chu Jinghong waved his hand.

"However, Li Yuan's identity should not have been exposed yet. Take a look at this letter. It was personally delivered by the Azure-Eyed Eagle King yesterday."

Chen Shuo handed the letter to Chu Jinghong.

Chu Jinghong examined the letter carefully, and the handwriting on it was indeed Li Yuan's. After a moment's thought, he understood something.

"It seems that all the clues we had before were deliberately thrown out by the other side to lure Li Yuan here. We've been tricked."

Chen Shuo had also vaguely realized this, and his face turned pale: "It's not that we're stupid, it's just that I can't understand why they would go to such great lengths to set up a trap, if it were only for Li Yuan, why didn't they send a demon king to intercept him halfway?"

Chu Jinghong shook his head: "I can't figure this out either. There must be some other reason behind it. Now it seems that they didn't intend to kill Li Yuan, but had other uses for him."

"By the way, who is this Chen Su Demon Emperor? Why have I never heard of him before?" Chen Shuo asked, pointing to the letter.

"I've never heard of him before. Could he be a newly promoted Demon Emperor?" Chu Jinghong sighed. "No matter who he is, we have to find a way to rescue Li Yuan. I don't think we can count on Mr. Mo. Anyone who can hold him back is no ordinary person."

"Send them a letter first, saying that you have already sent a message to Shenwu Academy that Li Yuan will arrive soon, and ask them to wait a few more days."

Chu Jinghong stood up and paced around the secret room. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "We must save Li Yuan, but we cannot completely trust this matter. We must strengthen our defenses at the pass in the next few days to prevent the demon race from launching a sneak attack."

"Yes."

Chen Shuo immediately bowed and agreed, "However, if we want to save Li Yuan, with our limited manpower, I'm afraid..."

Chu Jinghong waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about that. I delayed for these few days to invite a master to come out of seclusion."

"Your subordinate obeys!" Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo's spirits lifted.

In the dungeon.

Li Yuan sat with his eyes closed against the wall, one hand quietly resting on Zhao Lingyun's back, continuously channeling his true energy to help him dispel the toxins in his body.

Zhao Lingyun was startled and suddenly opened his eyes to look at him. Li Yuan winked at him, signaling him to calm down.

He immediately closed his eyes, feigning exhaustion, but inwardly he was terrified. For the past few days, he had been desperately trying to recover his spiritual power, but the demonic lock was extremely strange, constantly absorbing his true energy, and his recovery speed couldn't keep up with the loss.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan had already fully recovered and even had the energy to treat his injuries.

To his surprise, the demonic chains on his hands and feet stopped absorbing energy, appearing as if they were just ordinary chains.

It seems he underestimated Li Yuan. Not only was Li Yuan far superior in terms of skill level, but his methods were also far more sophisticated, and his mind was far more magnanimous.

"Ling Yun, listen to me, don't make a sound."

Suddenly, Li Yuan transmitted a message to him. Zhao Lingyun was slightly taken aback and immediately fell silent. He only heard Li Yuan continue speaking.

"We can't expect to be rescued; we must find a way to save ourselves."

Self-rescue?

Zhao Lingyun smiled bitterly to himself. Not to mention the Demon Emperor guarding this place, even with two Demon Kings and seven or eight Demon Generals, he would not be able to get through.

"I've come up with an idea these past few days. It's not fully developed yet, and I'm not entirely confident about it, but we have to try it. We can't just sit here and wait for things to go wrong."

Hearing his words, Zhao Lingyun felt a pang of shame. He had once been so full of vigor and ambition, but now he had become so hesitant and indecisive.

Even if we can't get through, so what? At worst, we'll just die.

"If you trust me, then follow my orders and we will act according to the circumstances."

Hearing Li Yuan continue to transmit his voice, Zhao Lingyun nodded slightly without hesitation.

Li Yuan was taken aback. Based on his understanding of Zhao Lingyun, the man was extremely stubborn. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade him, but he hadn't expected it to be so easy.
