Within the Gong Clan.

Li An sat upright in a palace hall, which was the center of the entire Demon Summoning Array.

The surrounding array slowly started to operate, beginning to stir the energies between heaven and earth.

"Take action—"

Li An received the command from Zhao Qingtong. Without hesitation, the Demon Skill instantly activated, driving the summoning technique.

Vast Demonic Qi rolled out from him, amplified by the surrounding Demon Summoning Array, as if the ancestral mountain of the Gong Clan was shrouded, magic power sweeping all around, casting darkness over the world!

"A real Demon Cultivator?"

"What’s going on?"

The Gong Clan, Gong Tianxiong, and the two Celestial Immortal Ancestors were utterly shocked, with their clan completely covered.

Has the demon cultivator Su Yebai mentioned arrived?

Meanwhile.

Shangguan Shengxian, already close to the heart of the Gong Clan, lifted her gaze slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and said, "Such an active strike, exposing yourself before me, do you not realize I am here for you?"

Is Li An deliberately informing her that a trap is set here?

After a brief contemplation, she did not rush directly towards the center of the array, but instead, with a burst of demonic power, raised her hand, executing the Four Death Skill. With a world-shattering palm, the buildings of the Gong Clan before her crumbled like dried leaves!

"Enemy attack!"

"We are under attack!"

The Gong Clan was in a panic. To maintain secrecy, only the core high levels were aware of the Purple Cloud Mountain’s plans. Encountering an enemy assault, they naturally reacted, mobilizing to engage.

In an instant, numerous Immortals and Profound Immortal-level experts appeared, surrounding Shangguan Shengxian.

However, against so many experts, she merely sneered, taking them lightly. With a shift in silhouette, a demon shadow emerged, and she passed through the crowd, killing wantonly, leaving bloody splatters in her wake. The Gong Clan experts were helpless before her.

She was unhurried, strolling leisurely, allowing the enemies to exert various techniques, as if playing, and with a mere flip of her hand, she orchestrated a massacre.

"Stop! Everyone withdraw!"

Even Gong Tianxiong could not bear it, hurriedly stepping forward. If this continued, the core strength of the Gong Clan might be wiped out by this demoness.

"Haha, finally, a somewhat stronger one appears."

Yet Shangguan Shengxian’s gaze fell on him. With slender hands reaching out, Gong Tianxiong’s expression changed dramatically. With the might of a Quasi-Celestial Immortal, he clashed directly with Shangguan Shengxian, but his front Immortal Light crumbled, and he staggered back several steps, his face pale, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his energies thrown into disarray.

He was no match for Shangguan Shengxian.

"Tianxiong!"

The two Celestial Immortal ancestors hurriedly moved to protect him, but upon appearing, they found themselves unable to leave.

Shangguan Shengxian had already blocked them, demonic power descending like an all-encompassing net, suppressing the two Celestial Immortals, making it difficult for them to breathe. Their combined efforts barely held on.

"Help!"

"Please, masters, take action—"

The two Celestial Immortals couldn’t withstand it any longer, urgently calling into the array.

"The demoness has appeared, but the lid of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot, is it really on her..."

Within the array, Zhao Qingtong hesitated, but thinking the array was already activated, even if the lid wasn’t on her, it was too late to turn back now. Thus, the array was instantly driven, aiming to suppress Shangguan Shengxian.

Shangguan Shengxian stood gracefully in midair, battling the two Celestial Immortals, while resisting the array’s power, seemingly at a deadlock.

"Junior brother, add more force, the demon pot lid still hasn’t appeared—this demoness is too fierce!"

Li An was operating the demon summoning technique, Zhao Qingtong’s anxious secret message already reaching him.

He couldn’t help but frown. What did Shangguan Shengxian mean by this?

She took the initiative, the array surfaced, which, from a certain perspective, was no different than a warning to Shangguan Shengxian. With her personality, she should have easily seen there was an ambush here, and retreating immediately would be the best choice in this situation!

But she didn’t leave.

The fact she stayed could be explained if something extremely important to her was here, prompting her to fight in desperation.

Yet, she wasn’t fighting in desperation now!

This person seemed to be toying around, as if deliberately delaying time. If there were truly something or someone she must have, wouldn’t she take the opportunity to escape?

In fact, her attitude seemed to be informing those present that she was coming.

Could the opponent also be warning him?

Li An’s brow furrowed tightly, momentarily baffled, but he no longer hesitated. He exerted full effort in the Demon Skill, while intentionally allowing an indescribable force on him to emanate. An eerie aura instantly enveloped his entire being from his Primordial Spirit!

Because he was certain, Leng Rufeng placed significant importance on the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot lid, and was surely hidden in the shadows, ready to snatch it. His every move might not escape the other’s watch, so he had to proceed this way.

As long as the indescribable intensified on him, and the eerie force corroded, even if Leng Rufeng was a Golden Immortal, he wouldn’t dare focus on him anymore, or else there’s a certain risk of triggering his own indescribable.

The indescribable quickly manifested, scales covering Li An’s body, transforming him into an eerie scale-armored being, and amidst the roiling demonic and eerie aura, he finally retrieved the puppet Gongshan Xiu hidden in his storage ring.

By now, Gongshan Xiu had long been refined by him, astonishingly resembling him identically.
