Although his treasures and strength were somewhat weaker, Linghu Ancestor's combat experience was extremely rich.

He immediately adjusted his angle using the force of the impact and flew straight towards the direction where Han Li and Nangong Wan were.

As his master, Mu Yu naturally gave him a brief introduction to Han Li's abilities.

Although Mu Yu didn't say much, based on Han Li's performance on the border battlefield, Linghu Patriarch naturally knew that the other party was exceptionally strong.

While it's unrealistic to suppress the ancient demon's soul like Mu Yu did, protecting oneself is definitely not a problem.

While searching for help, Ancestor Linghu was not idle either. With a flick of his sleeve, a fiery red flying knife shot out and slashed towards the ancient demon master's soul.

Despite the rapidly approaching flying knife, a trace of regret remained on the face of the Ancient Demon Lord.

It was feeling somewhat regretful that it hadn't been able to kill Linghu Patriarch in one blow.

If I can seize the opportunity to swallow the opponent's nascent soul, my condition will definitely recover significantly.

Immediately afterward, facing the fiery red flying knife that had already lunged at him, the Ancient Demon Lord's soul spat out a wisp of blackish-red flame, blocking the flying knife.

The fiery red throwing knife was instantly engulfed by the black and red flames, and the fiery red spiritual light disappeared completely, turning helplessly into a piece of ordinary iron that fell down.

In just a moment, the treasure was completely destroyed.

"How is that possible?!"

"My evil-dispelling sword has absolutely no effect..."

Linghu Laozu clearly hadn't anticipated this scene and was somewhat unable to accept it.

You should know that this treasure was something he obtained with great difficulty, and it has a very powerful effect in suppressing evil spirits.

Mu Yu used the Thunder Escape Technique to descend in front of Ancestor Linghu and used the Asura Sacred Fire in his hand to block the black and red flames thrown by the Ancient Demon Lord's soul.

"Master, this demon now possesses supernatural powers no weaker than a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. We must not judge it according to common sense."

Mu Yu spoke up to remind him, and after the gray-white Asura Sacred Flame in his hand refined the black-red flame, it disappeared again amidst the thunder.

When Mu Yu reappeared, he had already summoned the palm-sized Five Extremes Spirit Locking Mountain.

At this moment, Han Li and Nangong Wan, who were watching the battle, launched an attack together, following Mu Yu's instructions.

Han Li used the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, which was most harmful to the demon race, while Nangong Wan directly unleashed her ultimate move—the Reincarnation Divine Light—to completely shroud the ancient demon.

In Mu Yu's memory, Nangong Wan was always a pretty face, and even her natal magic weapon looked quite ordinary.

But now it seems that Nangong Wan's strength is in no way inferior to Han Li's.

Moreover, this is based on the premise that Nangong Wan doesn't have any great treasures and only uses some supernatural abilities brought by her cultivation techniques.

If neither of them relied on magic weapons, it's hard to say whether Han Li could defeat Nangong Wan.

The ancient demon's soul was clearly startled by the sudden attack. First, the Reincarnation Divine Light controlled its actions, and then a large amount of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder struck it.

Even though he managed to escape with all his might, the ancient demon's soul was almost killed.

There was no way around it; Nangong Wan's Reincarnation Divine Light was extremely powerful.

The ancient demon's soul, which had just been immobilized, was unable to cast any spells for defense. It could only rely on its physical body and the demonic energy within it to endure the massive and devastating attack of the Evil-Repelling Divine Lightning.

This method of enduring attacks with one's bare body without relying on any magic or magical artifacts is something no one could withstand.

If I hadn't broken free from that Reincarnation Divine Light in time, it wouldn't have been just a matter of consuming some true demonic energy.

After consuming a large amount of true demonic energy, the ancient demon lord glared at Mu Yu resentfully, then twisted his upper body into a strange arc and disappeared from everyone's sight at an extremely bizarre speed.

Clearly, the ancient demon's main soul fled when it sensed something was wrong.

Mu Yu, looking at the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain that had just been prepared, shook his head helplessly.

It was still a bit greedy. I thought Nangong Wan's Reincarnation Divine Light could hold onto the Ancient Demon Lord's soul for a little longer.

Then I can use the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain to control the opponent, and maybe then I can kill him completely.

Hmm... thinking about it carefully, it's probably better to let go of this ancient demon's soul.

If the body occupied by the ancient demon's divided soul were to escape, Mu Yu might have to face two enemies at the Nascent Soul stage or higher once he reached Kunwu Mountain.

Ancient demons with their own physical bodies recover their strength much faster.

"Master, this place, Fallen Demon Valley, is already very dangerous. You should return to the sect first."

"As for Han Li and Nangong Wan, it's up to you two whether you come or not. There's no benefit to it, but there's also no great danger."

Judging from the direction the ancient demon's soul fled, it should be the location where his body was sealed. If the two ancient demons were to merge into one under pressure, it would be quite difficult to fight them.

Therefore, Mu Yu has to keep an eye on things.

The ancient demon lord's soul escape speed was indeed extraordinary. Mu Yu was only delayed for a little while, but he almost failed to catch up.

Fortunately, although the Wind Release technique still has some lingering problems, it's still perfectly usable for traveling.

Mu Yu quickly caught up with them.

At that moment, the ancient demon's divided soul happened to encounter an unlucky early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and effortlessly killed him with a single move, taking out the opponent's Nascent Soul.

The sale was so fast that Mu Yu didn't even have time to come to the rescue.

This is the feeling of powerlessness that the most ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators feel when facing late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

If you don't react in time, you can easily be killed instantly.

However, if this early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had discovered the ancient demon's sneak attack in time, even if his physical body couldn't escape, his Nascent Soul would most likely have been able to get away.

After swallowing the nascent soul in its hand, the ancient demon's aura seemed to have recovered considerably, and its eyes were filled with confidence as it looked at Mu Yu.

"I can't believe you dared to chase after me alone?"

At this moment, although the Ancient Demon Lord Soul had regained his confidence in facing Mu Yu, he was not careless and instead prepared to stall for time through conversation.

After all, although the swallowed nascent soul can quickly replenish his power, it still needs a certain amount of time to recover.

It can be said that the longer the delay, the better the chance of victory for the ancient demon master when facing Mu Yu.

"Don't worry, I don't want to kill you yet."

"After all, I still need you to break the seal on the demonic land in the southern region."

Mu Yu waved his hand, appearing completely unconcerned.

Upon seeing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the ancient demon master, but he quickly concealed it.

"I see, so you want to join us?"

"At your age, you'd be considered a genius even in our Holy Realm."

The Ancient Demon Lord spoke, seemingly trying to win over Mu Yu, but in reality, he wanted to understand Mu Yu's purpose.

Of course, it would be even better if we could actually win them over.

"The Holy Realm? I guess only you demons would call yourself that. Which other realm doesn't call you the Demon Realm?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep one of you and your split soul. After all, it would be quite troublesome for me to open the seal there myself."

"As for what I need to do with that seal, I won't trouble you with that."

Mu Yu spoke bluntly, completely disregarding the other party's intention to stall for time.

Seeing this, even the Demon Lord, with his vast knowledge and experience, was somewhat bewildered.

"Aren't you afraid that after listening to you, I'll give up on breaking the seal on that demonic land?"

Finally, the Ancient Demon Lord's soul could not contain itself any longer and asked.

Mu Yu replied:

"Of course..."

"But...would you do that?"

Will it? Of course not!

Although it is unknown why this person asked him to destroy that sealed place.

But even if there are traps, he still has to break through those places.

For a moment, both sides fell silent.

The ancient demon master was secretly recovering his strength, while Mu Yu was openly slacking off, showing no intention of making a move whatsoever.

Just as the ancient demon master was about to make his move, a strange roar like thunder suddenly came from the depths of the Fallen Demon Valley.

The roar was just as intense as the previous omen, and could be heard throughout the entire Fallen Demon Valley.

Upon hearing this voice, the Ancient Demon Lord's expression changed drastically. He no longer cared about Mu Yu's presence and, without thinking, transformed into a streak of black light, rushing towards the source of the sound.

While traveling, the demon let out a roar that was extremely similar to the one it had heard before.

It seems to be reminding some people of their own position.

Mu Yu looked up and realized that it was the Ghost Spirit Sect and Wei Wuyai who had released the ancient demon's physical body.

The body that occupies the ancient demon's body is naturally the fragment of the ancient demon's soul that resides in the painting of the Cangkun Master.

The reason why the ancient demon's main soul was in such a hurry to leave was naturally because it wanted to merge with its own divided soul.

Currently, although the divided soul has gained self-awareness, it has taken over the body that originally belonged to it.

But in essence, they are still the same person.

However, when a divided soul is separated from its original form for a long time, it will inevitably change and become different from before.

But no matter how different we are, we are still ourselves. When faced with difficulties, we will definitely stand together against external forces.

Once the matter is resolved, the two demons will naturally have to have a showdown to determine who is in charge.

Sometimes, the main soul can indeed become a divided soul.

But in reality, whether the main soul wins or the split soul wins, it's still the same person, so there's not much difference.

But in reality, whether the main soul wins or the split soul wins, it's still the same person, so there's not much difference.

The only difference is that the losing party will lose some memories and a period of emotional connection.

Normally, the two of them would not merge as soon as they meet.

However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Mu Yu activated the Lightning Escape Technique and set off at a speed far exceeding that of the ancient demon's soul.

If these two demons were to merge into one, even if they could not recover their strength at the Nascent Soul stage, their power would certainly far surpass that of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Mu Yu needs to take one out first.

At the very least, we need to set up an array to control one of them.

By the way, we also need to find the location of the Lingmiao Garden fragment; we can't let that go unnoticed.

With the current quantity of spiritual herbs, Mu Yu's cultivation speed has slowed down considerably.

Han Li's little green bottle is very powerful, but it still needs to have the roots or seeds of spiritual herbs.

The ancient demon's soul was hurrying along when suddenly, out of the corner of its eye, it caught a glimpse of a faint arc of electricity behind it...

He subconsciously released his divine sense, preparing to take the impending attack head-on.

But immediately afterward, the ancient demon master's divine sense noticed Mu Yu's illusory figure under the lightning escape technique, which vanished in a flash.

This extreme speed was so fast that the Ancient Demon Lord's soul barely had time to react.

By the time he came to his senses, Mu Yu had already used his lightning escape technique to leave him far behind.

Subconsciously, this ancient demon master began to doubt his own demonic existence.

It's only been ten thousand years, and the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the lower realms are already this strong?

If that's the case, then why are those ancient demons even invading? Are they just coming here to die?

Or was that person using some unknown escape technique?

After looking in the direction Mu Yu had come from for a long time, the ancient demon master finally realized something.

Oh no, his target is my physical body.

After realizing what was happening, the ancient demon's soul accelerated its escape, but it could only watch as the wisps of electricity that Mu Yu had transformed into drifted further and further away from it...

This feeling angered the ancient demon master's soul, making him want to use some escape techniques that consume a lot of essence and blood. After all, this body wasn't his own, so there was no need to waste it too much.

But after thinking it over, the ancient demon master ultimately gave up.

After reuniting with the divided soul, there will be another fierce battle to fight.

If this body is ruined now, it will be very difficult to successfully possess it if one is prepared.

He was just a Nascent Soul cultivator. His divided soul, along with his original physical body, should be enough to hold out until he arrived.

If they can't even hold out for this short time, then even if I go, I'll just be delivering vegetables.

Having made his decision, the ancient demon lord swept his soul and divine sense and discovered that several Nascent Soul stage cultivators were searching for treasure nearby.

Immediately halting its escape, the Ancient Demon Lord decided to enjoy the feast before it was all over.

Only by restoring myself to my best condition can I better cope with the upcoming big battle.

……

Mu Yu had no idea that the ancient demon lord's soul had chosen to go to a buffet halfway through its journey.

When he arrived nearby, Wei Wuyai was fighting against the ancient demon's divided soul.

Perhaps because of Mu Yu's reminder, Wei Wuyai was not seriously injured in the spatial rift, and Wang Tiansheng also survived.

However, Wang Tiangu was nowhere to be seen. Was he dead?

Despite having Wang Tiansheng and others by his side to help him, Wei Wuyai was still at a disadvantage.

Although Wei Wuyai was not seriously injured in the explosion of the spatial rift, he still suffered some injuries.

"Fellow Daoist Mu...this is wonderful! I regret not heeding your advice back then!"

"That Fellow Daoist Wang Tiangu has already died in the spatial rift, but I still managed to let this demon escape despite my best efforts."

"But this demon's powers are extraordinary. We must not allow it to break the seal placed on our bodies by the ancient cultivators, or we will all be in danger."

Wei Wuyai quickly explained the current situation via telepathy, and then invited Mu Yu to take action.

Seeing this, Mu Yu did not immediately take action, but instead released about ten puppets to assist Wei Wuyai.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please stall for a moment. I will set up an array before we talk."

"As for how to lure this demon into the formation later, you don't need to worry about that, fellow Daoist."

As Mu Yu spoke, he began setting up the formation on his own.

Wei Wuyai and the ancient demon's divided soul were speechless upon seeing this.

Formations can indeed change the course of a battle, and can even play a decisive role.

But who would suddenly barge into the formation you've set up? Does this person think everyone here is blind?

"Fellow Daoist Mu, please stop this demon. I have already sent a telepathic message to Master Zhong of Mulan. If we can delay him for a little longer, he will be able to arrive."

"With the two of us working together, and with the assistance of other fellow Daoists, we will surely be able to capture this demon."

Wei Wuyai was nearly frantic with worry, but Mu Yu remained completely unperturbed, setting up formations nearby.

The formation he set up was neither a trapping formation nor a killing formation, but a complex formation that occupied a large space.

This formation was built by Mu Yu using several Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Formations. As long as the ancient demon enters it and is controlled or seriously injured, Mu Yu has an 80% chance of extracting the demon's divided soul.

Of course, this formation is just an alternative and is basically not very useful.

The main purpose of Mu Yu's arrangement of this formation was to attract the attention of the ancient demon's divided soul, so that he could secretly set up the Azure Origin Sword Formation.

However, if everything really goes that smoothly...

If the demon's divided soul is absorbed into the Myriad Soul Banner and further refined, it might be possible to refine the first Nascent Soul stage demon spirit within the Myriad Soul Banner.

However, whether this optimal outcome can be achieved remains to be seen.

"The formation... is complete."

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, just when Wei Wuyai was about to give up, he finally heard these words.

But what accompanied those words was not just the magnificent-looking magic array below, but seventy-two cyan pillars of light that appeared around Wei Wuyai and the ancient demon's split soul.

The next moment, the seventy-two pillars of light vanished with a roar, transforming into one thousand nine hundred and forty-four sword lights that fell like a rain of swords.

"Sword formation... Hahahaha, excellent! It turns out Fellow Daoist Mu has such supernatural abilities hidden."

Upon seeing this scene, Wei Wuyai immediately realized that Mu Yu's previous actions were merely a smokescreen, and that this sword formation was the true trump card capable of ending the battle.

If it had been stated from the beginning that a sword formation would be set up, this ancient demon would certainly not have stood by and watched the sword formation appear.

In that situation, with one pursuing and the other fleeing, even if the sword formation is barely set up, there will be significant problems.

The rain of swords formed by 1,944 sword lights did not cause any damage to the ancient demon's divided soul, but in order to withstand these massive numbers of sword lights, the ancient demon's divided soul consumed a lot of demonic energy.

Currently, Wei Wuyai, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who wasn't seriously injured, is still trapped in the sword formation.

If this continues, even his Nascent Soul stage physical body will not be able to withstand it.

"It seems I need to improve the process."

"We can't let him unleash a sword attack as soon as he appears; that would be a waste of time."

As Mu Yu spoke, he formed a sword incantation with his hand.

In an instant, 1,944 sword lights disappeared, replaced by 648 sword shadows.

Immediately afterwards, the sword shadows changed again, transforming into 648 cyan sword threads that appeared within the Azure Origin Sword Formation.

"Sword energy turning into threads!?"

Two voices, filled with fear and trepidation, appeared almost simultaneously.

Neither Wei Wuyai nor the ancient demon's divided soul expected that Mu Yu, a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, would be able to use such a great supernatural power as sword energy turning into silk.
