Christopher Tong and his companions leaped like grasshoppers, swiftly chasing after the rapidly moving Demon Seeking Disk.
Before long, they followed the disk to the southwestern corner of Jiayuan City.
This area was relatively secluded, with only a few households, all of which had their doors tightly shut, though the lights were still on.
Watching the Demon Seeking Disk hovering and trembling in the air, Christopher whispered, “The demon should be here. These are the formation flags. Quickly place them in these positions…”
As he spoke, formation flags appeared in Christopher’s hand. He handed them to the disciples and retrieved the Demon Seeking Disk.
“Understood.”
The disciples quickly began to act. Although they didn’t understand formations, Senior Brother Tong had told them the positions, and placing the flags was simple enough.
“Senior Brother Tong is amazing, he even knows such advanced formation techniques.”
The two female disciples in the group looked at Christopher with admiration.
Christopher smiled coolly and didn’t respond.
He glanced at the disciples placing the flags, then scanned the area, his eyes flickering.
There were civilians here. They had to kill the demons in Jiayuan City before their invisibility talismans wore off.
He wouldn’t be careless. Mark Gu had taught him that caution was the key to longevity.
“Senior Brother Tong, the flags are in place!”
Soon, the disciples returned to Christopher to report.
Christopher nodded, scanning the area and murmuring, “Alright, let’s bring out these sneaky creatures… Everyone, step back!”
At his command, the disciples quickly retreated, watching Christopher intently.
Christopher flipped his palm, and a formation flag appeared in his hand. He began to wave it in the air with precise movements.
As he waved, the disciples were shocked to see the formation flags they had placed start to emit a faint glow and hum simultaneously!
Instantly!
The commotion caught the attention of the lurking demons!!
In the next moment, the doors of the nearby houses creaked open, and three masses of black mist emerged!!
“These are demonic creatures, not beasts!”
The sight left the disciples stunned. They peered into the houses and saw several dried corpses lying inside!
Their faces changed slightly. It seemed the civilians had been killed before they arrived!!
As the three masses of black mist emerged, they immediately noticed the glowing, trembling formation flags on the ground and reacted instantly!
“Damn it! It’s an ambush by cultivators. We don’t know their level, retreat!!”
Knowing the civilians were dead, Christopher no longer concealed himself and revealed his form, sneering coldly, “So it’s a few demonic creatures causing trouble in the Cyan Cloud Sect’s territory. How bold! Trying to escape? Show yourselves!”
With that, Christopher raised the formation flag in his hand, channeling his spiritual power into it, and swung it fiercely!
“Second-level trapping formation, activate!”
Buzzing sounds filled the air as the formation flags trembled more violently, and a transparent barrier spread out!
The three masses of black mist halted abruptly!
“A second-level trapping formation… We thought it was a powerful cultivator, but it’s just a Foundation Establishment novice, hahaha…”
One of the black mists laughed coldly!
Hearing this, Christopher’s face changed slightly!
He then saw the three masses of black mist transform into three grotesque figures, each with a single horn on their head, wide grinning mouths, and long, thin black tongues hanging down. Their faces were pitch black and hideous!
“Black Tongue Demons!”
Christopher’s body trembled, and his face turned extremely grim!
“Black Tongue Demons… Senior Brother Tong, what are those…”
The disciples felt a sense of foreboding seeing Christopher’s expression.
“That’s their demonic name. Black Tongue Demons are second-level demonic creatures. One second-level demon can match a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and there are three of them here…”
Christopher clenched his fists, his face filled with seriousness. It seemed today’s situation wouldn’t end well.
Matching a Foundation Establishment cultivator!!
The disciples’ faces turned pale with fear as they looked at the three Black Tongue Demons!
It’s over, it’s over. Among them, only Senior Brother Tong was at the Foundation Establishment stage, the rest were at the Qi Refining stage. How could they fight these three demons!
Could their luck be so bad that their path of cultivation ends here…
“Hahaha, little cultivators from the Cyan Cloud Sect…”
At this moment, the leading Black Tongue Demon laughed sinisterly at Christopher. Apart from the leading Foundation Establishment disciple, it could see at a glance that the others were just at the Qi Refining stage.
Christopher felt immense pressure but kept his composure, shouting, “Indeed, the Li Shui Empire is under the protection of the Cyan Cloud Sect. You demons better retreat quickly!”
Seeing Christopher’s imposing manner, the disciples felt a glimmer of hope. Did Senior Brother Tong have some hidden card?
“Hahaha! Ridiculous! Just a mere Foundation Establishment novice?”
The Black Tongue Demon clearly wasn’t buying it.
“I am a direct disciple of Master Mark Gu of the Cyan Cloud Sect! You little demons better think twice!”
Christopher took a deep breath and mentioned his master’s name, trying to intimidate the Black Tongue Demons.
He said all this to protect the outer disciples behind him!
If they fought these three Black Tongue Demons today, the Qi Refining disciples behind him wouldn’t be able to escape…
Mark Gu!
The three Black Tongue Demons visibly trembled at the name, showing that it did bring some pressure!
Seeing this, Christopher felt a moment of joy, but it quickly vanished as the leading Black Tongue Demon spoke,
“Didn’t expect a Foundation Establishment novice to have such a background. In that case, we can’t let you go… hahaha!”
Then, everyone saw the three Black Tongue Demons turn into black mist and rush towards the invisible trapping formation!
Boom!
The formation flags trembled violently!
The loud noise echoed through the silent night of Jiayuan City, causing countless civilians to cower in fear, not knowing what was happening. Remembering the city lord’s earlier orders, they could only stay inside with their doors tightly shut.
The Black Tongue Demons launched a second attack with a sinister smile!
In the next moment, the formation flags toppled…
The second-level trapping formation was easily broken!
“Senior Brother Tong!!”
The disciples’ faces were filled with horror as they looked at Christopher in panic.
Christopher’s face was grim, and he shouted, “Everyone, stay calm. I will do my best to protect you! Fight!”
Hearing this, the disciples steadied themselves, drawing various swords and artifacts, gritting their teeth as they faced the approaching black mist.
But their expressions were filled with despair!
The battle was about to begin!
Meanwhile,
In the Qian Mansion of Moyu Town.
The lights were dim, and a chilling wind blew, causing the white cloth covering sixty-seven corpses on the ground to flutter slightly.
Suddenly, a man in cyan cloth appeared silently in the courtyard.
Ambrose Lu glanced at the white cloth-covered corpses, his face showing no emotion, and said calmly,
“Come out.”
The courtyard remained silent, except for the wind growing stronger.
“A mere demon, daring to hide from me.”
Ambrose’s eyes were calm as he looked at a certain spot in the courtyard, his tone leisurely.
Ambrose had indeed lost his memories related to the Immortal Tomb. He didn’t know why he was in this world, why he was buried in the so-called Immortal Tomb, or what had happened…
But any memories unrelated to the Immortal Tomb were still intact in his mind.
Before being buried in the Immortal Tomb, he had casually taken up the position of an Immortal Emperor.
In the Four Directions Immortal Realm, he was the Immortal Emperor of Longevity.
