Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

The most powerful attack that the big bird can unleash is an attack at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and Qian Lin can still take several attacks of this level.

Plus, now she has Huaxi's help, so delaying for a while won't be a problem.

Of course, it was just a delay. Qian Lin knew very well that she would definitely lose if she continued fighting like this. Whether in terms of endurance or other aspects, she had no possibility of defeating this big bird.

All she could do now was to delay time as much as possible and wait for more people to come in and defeat the monster together.

"Ye Qiuhan, quickly ask the brothers and sisters to come over, something big has happened here!"

"We are already on our way. Give us a little more time. We are almost there!"

The moment the big bird appeared, Qian Lin sent a message for help to Ye Qiuhan, and Ye Qiuhan had already rushed over with his righteous brothers and sisters.

However, due to various reasons, they were still struggling to trek among the restless group of spirit beasts.

"Look ahead, there seems to be a big door over there!"

In the center of the group of spirit beasts, a golden-red gate has appeared. Driven by instinct, the spirit beasts fled in panic from around the gate, as if there was something terrifying hidden behind the gate.

The spirit beasts were retreating, but some were moving forward. The monks of the Zhantian Sect, who had just been tricked by Qian Lin, rushed out of the group of spirit beasts and headed straight for the gate.

They thought they had probably guessed the reason why this door appeared. Didn't Qian Lin and the others just run in? It seemed that these monks from Hehuan Valley were very quick. They made such a big noise that they exposed the invisible door in such a short time.

“Hurry up and rush in. I want to see what this treasure looks like that those people from Hehuan Valley care so much about.” The late-stage grandmaster of Zhantian Sect shouted loudly to other grandmasters.

Of course, what he meant was definitely not just to take a look, but to snatch the treasure from Hehuan Valley and take a look at it.

He was confident in his own strength. As long as there was no external interference, he was sure to snatch the treasure from Hehuan Valley.

“But those righteous paths cannot be ignored either, tsk.” Glancing to the other side, the late-stage grandmaster of the Zhantian Sect snorted coldly.

Before the gate appeared, those righteous monks had already started to act. He thought that these righteous masters were targeting him, but looking at the route they were taking, it seemed that their target was also this gate.

If we fail to seize the treasure and leave in a short period of time, we will probably be blocked at the gate by these righteous people.

"It's not like we can't defeat them, but it's better to avoid using a small number of people against a large number. We need to explain things to those people in Hehuan Valley as soon as possible."

Looking at the gate that was already right in front of him, the late stage grandmaster of Zhantian Sect took a deep breath and rushed in without hesitation.

After a brief feeling of dizziness, he felt waves of heat coming from afar. Looking closely, he saw a flaming bird flying in the distant sky, and two figures exuding the aura of a grandmaster were fighting with the bird.

What's going on? Where are the people from Hehuan Valley? Where are the treasures?

The late-stage grandmaster of the Zhantian Sect immediately spread out his spiritual sense and soon found Qian Handan, Nan Xiao, Huayue and others who were hiding not far away and watching the show.

How did you two evil people get mixed up with two righteous people?

Oh, yes, you two are from Hehuan Valley, and you are best at pretending to be good people. It seems that the righteous path has been deceived by you again this time.

The monk from Zhantian Sect who appeared out of nowhere also attracted the attention of Qian Handan and the others. After seeing who the visitor was, Qian Handan's expression suddenly changed.

Of course, this sudden change was acted out by her.

She whispered a few words to the three people around her, then hurriedly ran towards the Zhantian Sect monks.

"Oh no, something bad has happened!" After running in front of the masters of the Zhantian Sect, her first words were to tell these demonic monks who came for the treasure that a big problem had occurred.

"Why is it bad? What's going on over there? Where did the other girl go?"

"Those righteous people entered the secret realm earlier than us. When we rushed into the hall, they had already got the treasure. So we went up to snatch it away, but they refused to give it to us. As we were scrambling, the treasure fell to the ground and broke into pieces." Qian Handan spoke the lies she had prepared long ago at a very fast pace.

Broken?!

Everyone in the Zhantian Sect immediately showed doubtful eyes. What kind of treasure could be broken? Even the lowest-level spiritual weapon would not be broken, right?

"You don't know that the treasure is actually a seal, which seals the giant flaming bird on it. Miss Ling wanted to control it at that time, but was blown into the ruins by one of its wings. Now we don't know whether she is alive or dead." Pointing to the ruins of the palace in the distance, Qian Handan said with a sad face.

Oh, so that girl encountered such a thing. No wonder I didn’t sense her presence.

"If we can't reseal this giant bird, we will all die here." Qian Handan paused, then continued, "The gate we came from has disappeared. We can only cooperate with the righteous people over there and kill this bird."

Cooperate with Zhengdao?

Everyone in the Zhantian Sect showed unwilling expressions. They are the evil sect, how could they possibly cooperate with the righteous sect?

Moreover, we don’t know whether what Qian Handan said is true or false. What if she is just exaggerating?

They say that if we can't seal the bird, everyone will die. This bird is so powerful. If we all run away separately, how can this bird catch and kill us?

"Brother, look behind you!" At this time, a cultivator from the Zhantian Sect suddenly shouted loudly.

What happened next?

When the late Grandmaster looked back, he saw that golden cracks had appeared in the distant sky, and red flames like blood were rushing down from those cracks, making it look like a scene of the end of the world.

Well, it seems there is nowhere to run.

However, cooperating with the righteous to defeat the giant flaming bird was not in line with the late Grandmaster's wishes. Even if they killed the bird, they, the evil ones, would be surrounded by the righteous. Would they be able to survive?

There is no way these righteous monks would let them go.

"According to our speculation, if we want to get out of this secret realm, we must first defeat the big bird. As for everyone's safety, I also have a way." Qian Handan said to the late Grandmaster earnestly, "We can take advantage of the righteous path's unpreparedness and take hostages after defeating the big bird!"

"Don't interrupt me yet. Among the righteous masters who entered the secret realm earlier, there is a disciple of Yao Chi's master. If we can hold her hostage, those righteous monks will not dare to fight us to the death!"

The master of Yao Chi’s personal disciple? The late-stage master looked up and saw that there was indeed a master of Yao Chi’s personal disciple in this secret realm, but wasn’t that disciple a wood-type spiritual energy?

But what is fighting with the big bird now is the ice element and another kind of unknown spiritual energy, there is no wood element.

"It's not that Ye Qiuhan, it's Qian Lin, Ye Qiuhan's junior sister! The eldest daughter of the Qian family in the northern border, she is more valuable than that Ye Qiuhan!" With a stern face, Qian Handan said the lines that Qian Lin prepared for her.

To be honest, it was the first time she knew that this Miss Qian had such a noble status.

So why are you, a direct disciple of the righteous sect leader, getting along so well with the people of Hehuan Valley?

"Could it be that Qian Lin?! If it's her, then maybe it's really possible for the righteous to be cautious!" After hearing Qian Lin's name, the late-stage grandmaster of the Zhantian Sect's eyes suddenly lit up.

This hostage is indeed qualified!

347. Temporarily Balanced

In an instant, the late-stage grandmaster of Zhan Tian Zong figured out all the connections and what to do next.

First of all, the big bird must be killed, and only after killing the big bird will it be the time to truly decide their life or death.

They need to catch Qian Lin before others can react. As long as they catch Qian Lin, their chances of saving their lives will be greatly increased.

Don’t forget, there are two venerable masters from their demonic sect waiting for them to get out outside the secret realm!

What he didn't know was that the two Demonic Lords, whom he regarded as his lifeline, had now been beaten by more than a dozen Righteous Lords and fled like stray dogs. This way of retreat of his had actually disappeared.

But for him now, this is still the option with the greatest chance of success.

"Let's go ahead and deal with the big bird first, and then find a chance to capture Qian Lin!" He gave orders to the other magic monks around him.

The few of them had no objection to this decision, and they immediately used their spiritual power to rush towards the battlefield in the distance.

Several sword beams hit the big bird, causing it to slow down in its attack on Qian Lin. Qian Lin also took this opportunity to catch his breath and looked at the Zhan Tian Sect monks who were rushing over. An expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Ha, are you surprised that we came to help? Seeing Qian Lin's expression, the masters of Zhan Tian Sect all had the same thought.

As expected, Qian Lin quickly put away the surprised expression on his face and asked the people from Zhan Tian Zong: "What conspiracy do you demons have in mind?"

"Hmph, if possible, we would like to watch you being devoured by this monster, but I believe you are aware of the current situation, right?" The late Grandmaster snorted coldly and threw the question back to Qian Lin.

He did not completely believe Qian Handan's statement and wanted to confirm it with Qian Lin.

Qian Lin would not reveal the truth. After hearing the words of the late Grandmaster, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a trace of indignation from her throat, "It was obviously you, a bunch of demons, who caused this disaster, but now you are pretending to be innocent."

What she was referring to was naturally the fight that led to the escape of the Fiery Bird not long ago. The two masters of Hehuan Valley and Huaxi Qianlin were fighting for the treasure. Speaking of it, it didn't seem to be Qianlin's fault.

After all, it was the righteous side that got the treasure first, and Hehuan Valley came to steal it, so Hehuan Valley must be largely responsible for the damage to the thing.

"Hahaha, we in Zhantian Sect don't know what the people from Hehuan Valley did. But Miss Qian, I'm afraid you're not in a good condition right now."

Qian Lin's bad condition was written all over her face. Although the fighting power she had just displayed was even stronger than that of an average mid-stage Grandmaster, the late-stage Grandmaster knew after taking one look at Qian Lin that Qian Lin was just holding on.

There was no trace of blood on that pretty little face, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly. The Fiery Bird had locked its hatred on her. If no one came to help, Qian Lin would probably not be able to hold on for long before dying at the hands of the big bird.

In this sense, the people from Zhan Tian Zong can indeed be considered Qian Lin's saviors.

While Qian Lin was talking to the late-stage Grandmaster, the other Zhan Tian Sect monks had already stepped forward and began to besiege the giant flaming bird. Sharp sword energies struck the bird's huge body, causing ripples.

But unfortunately, these attacks could not hurt this divine bird made of fire.

On the contrary, the big bird was angry at being provoked in this way. Its hatred briefly shifted away from Qian Lin and fell on those ignorant Zhantian Sect monks.

With a flap of its huge wings, the big bird swung out a curtain of flames that spanned the sky. This attack did not involve any technical content. It was simply a simple use of spiritual power to crush the opponent.

It was this move that made the faces of these Zhantian Sect monks change immediately. Only then did they realize that the reason Qian Lin and Hua Xi were beaten by the big bird was not because they were too weak, but because the big bird was too strong.

It is impossible to deal effective damage, and the opponent's attack power is so terrifying, how should we deal with such an opponent?

"Let's work together to break this curtain!"

It is too early to think about how to defeat the big bird. What the Zhantian Sect monks should worry about is how they can survive this attack from the big bird.

Fortunately, the people of their Zhan Tian Sect were experienced in combat, and faced with such a massive attack, they figured out a way to deal with it in a very short time. That was to use a point to break the surface, using their strongest spiritual skills to create a gap in the curtain that was large enough for them to pass through.

With the joint efforts of several masters, the dazzling sword light successfully tore open the curtain of fire, and several masters took this opportunity to pass through the curtain and broke the big bird's attack... right?

Of course not.

When these masters passed through the curtain, the first thing they saw was the sharp claws of the big bird that had already reached out in front of them.

When they worked together to break the curtain, the big bird did not stand there waiting for them to use their skills. In fact, it followed behind the curtain, using the curtain to cover its body, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

And now, it has really waited for this opportunity.

"not good!"

"Get out of the way!"

The monks of Zhantian Sect were horrified. They never expected that the big bird would launch a surprise attack at this time. Caught off guard, they had no ability to resist at all.

If they were caught by this claw, they would probably be in great danger.

Fortunately, they have companions who can help them.

The sword light with murderous aura and the light beam of light of light of light of light of light hit the big bird one after another, causing its confident attack to deviate from the target.

The attack released by the two late-stage grandmasters together was enough to repel this powerful bird.

Watching the sharp claws made of fire passing by them, the Zhantian Sect monks who were rescued by Huaxi and their own late-stage grandmaster distanced themselves from the big bird with cold sweat on their foreheads.

I didn't dare get any closer; this monster was too strong.

"You just stay here. This bird is not something you can handle." The late Grandmaster of Zhan Tian Sect said to his fellow disciples, "Girl over there, you are not a righteous person, right?"

He wanted to ask just now, this grandmaster in the late stage did not use the traditional five elements spiritual power, but a special spiritual power similar to their magic way. Such a person is unlikely to be on the righteous path.

Maybe he is a casual cultivator? He thought to himself.

"Stop talking nonsense and get rid of this beast first." Hua Xi was too lazy to waste time talking to the people from Zhantian Sect. She was now clinging to Yao Chi's thigh, so how could she want to have any extra contact with this group of demons?

Only a fool would choose to cling to the thigh of the evil path instead of the thigh of the righteous path, right?

Anyway, Hua Xi is not a fool, she thinks she is good the way she is now.

The late grandmaster of the Zhantian Sect was a little embarrassed that Huaxi did not treat him well, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal that a demon like him was not liked by others. After all, it was not the first time that he was not liked, and it was not unacceptable.

The primary goal now is to get rid of this big bird.

"Form a formation and assist me!" He shouted to the other frightened masters of the Zhantian Sect.

The weaker masters definitely cannot come up and fight in close combat with the big bird, as they will be too easily killed by the big bird. He can save these brothers once or twice, but there is always a chance that he cannot save them.

Now that the hope of escaping from the predicament is right in front of him, he does not want these fellow apprentices to suffer unnecessary sacrifices.

Then forming a formation to fight the enemy is the best option.

"Yes!"

Those Zhan Tian Sect masters immediately dispersed and formed a sword-like formation behind the late stage grandmaster. They were connected together by threads of spiritual power, with the same spiritual power flowing among them. The mighty power even made Hua Xi feel horrified.

"The Zhantian Sword Formation, this is the Zhantian Sect's unique formation. I didn't expect to see it here." Qian Lin exclaimed in amazement when he saw the formation used by the Zhantian Sect's masters.

Back then, she was nearly killed by the body-tempering realm master of the Zhantian Sect using this formation. Fortunately, she was lucky and managed to hold on after being knocked into the icy sea.

At that time, there were more than ten people in the Body Tempering Realm and hundreds of people in the Mind Nourishing Realm forming the formation, and Qian Lin was not the direct target of this formation. She was just a poor person who had mistakenly entered the battlefield.

As a result, the people from the Zhantian Sect had no idea what it meant to not harm innocent people. There were many cultivators around Qian Lin at the time, and they were all chopped down by the people from the Zhantian Sect with this trick.

As for the real target of this formation, it is a master-level turtle that has lived for thousands of years. Only the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation has the power to break its hard shell.
