Chapter 489: Chapter 488: Daokong Mountain, Demonic Night Grand Formation

"How is it, Junior Brother Nanhua? Were you doing alright inside there before?"

Gu Yuechan was the first to speak up.

Ji Haoyuan smiled and nodded.

"It’s alright, I made some gains, so I was delayed a bit."

As for the specific gains, Ji Haoyuan didn’t elaborate.

Gu Yuechan, along with Master Jianxing and Feng Zitao, sensibly did not ask further.

"By the way..."

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but ask Gu Yuechan and the others:

"Senior Sister Gu, did you all receive a communication from the head of the Tianyin Branch at the Taichong Sacred Land before?"

As he spoke, a Communication Jade Talisman appeared in his hand.

Displayed on it were several pieces of text.

The contents were almost identical to what Gu Yuechan and the others had received earlier.

"Hm? Junior Brother Nanhua, you did receive these messages as well."

Seeing the Communication Jade Talisman that Ji Haoyuan produced, the three of Gu Yuechan couldn’t help but nod.

As they spoke, they had already recounted the contents of their received messages to Ji Haoyuan.

Finally, Gu Yuechan said:

"Junior Brother Nanhua, in your opinion, how should we handle this matter?"

"We could go and take a look."

Ji Haoyuan spoke slowly.

"If I’m not mistaken, this matter should be an open plot by the foreign demons."

"An open plot?"

The three of Gu Yuechan were taken aback.

"Indeed."

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

"Moreover, truth be told, we’ve been in this world for so long, yet we haven’t found the true point of interception.

Now that we have this clue, I believe anyone who received this message will more than likely head to Daokong Mountain."

Hearing Ji Haoyuan’s words, Gu Yuechan and the three others felt it made a lot of sense.

But the risks involved...

Just as this thought crossed their minds, Ji Haoyuan spoke again:

"No need to worry too much. Not long ago, I received some benefits, and my power had just made a breakthrough.

Even if something unexpected happens, it shouldn’t be a problem to withdraw safely.

Moreover, and most importantly, the head of the Tianyin Branch at Taichong Sacred Land sent those messages to us, proving that some things indeed exist at Daokong Mountain.

If we wish to understand the crux of this, merely speculating won’t yield any true results."

Hearing this, Gu Yuechan and the others understood.

In such matters, only by truly going forward could one hope to find real answers.

At that moment, the group no longer hesitated.

Not long after, they followed Ji Haoyuan together, heading towards Daokong Mountain.

Daokong Mountain.

This was a rather towering peak in this world.

Above it, radiance surged, exuding a rich vitality.

However, this mountain, which should have been teeming with life, was now filled with a sense of desolation.

Countless twisted shadows circled within it continuously.

Amidst the rising blood-colored mist, from time to time, heartrending screams could be heard.

Most importantly, there were at present over a dozen cultivators, from various Holy Lands, who were besieged here on Daokong Mountain.

Among them was Lu Yuanshan, Dai Yunfang, and others familiar to Ji Haoyuan.

In front of them stood over a dozen black-robed figures of diverse statures.

They were all evil cultivators or demons from the outside.

Among them, a man who appeared to be the leader bore a blood-colored mark on his brow, a cold smile curling on his lips.

In his hand, he casually toyed with a magical treasure resembling a bamboo flute.

Every time the glow on the bamboo flute flashed.

Invisibly, it seemed to transmit some form of message. The entrapped Lu Yuanshan and those in the confined space with him could not help but show grief on their faces.

"That’s Senior Sister Yun’s Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure."

A cultivator from Taichong Sacred Land spoke out with anger.

Just a short while ago, the head of the Tianyin Branch at Taichong Sacred Land, to protect them all, employed a forbidden technique to block the Devil’s Dark Heaven Array here.

Moreover, she had carved out an independent space, so for the time being, Lu Yuanshan and the others would not be threatened by the array here.

But this action, in effect, trapped them all here.

And she herself, under the encroachment of the Devil’s Dark Heaven Array, both her body and primordial spirit perished.

Before her death, she sent out a message warning everyone not to tread this place lightly.

But soon after, her Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure was seized by the blood-marked man, and he quickly used a secret technique to taint it, starting to transmit false information outwards.

This was the main reason why Ji Haoyuan and they had received different messages consecutively.

At this moment, the blood-marked man and his comrades looked at Lu Yuanshan and the others with greed in their eyes.

If they could corrupt and refine all these cultivators from the various Holy Lands.

It would be a significant achievement for them, without a doubt.

Moreover, for these foreign demons, the bodies and primordial spirits of these people were immensely valuable supplements.

Unfortunately, before her death, that woman had opened up an independent space for them inside the Devil’s Dark Heaven Array.

Otherwise, just with the power of the array, these people would not have been able to persist until now.

"Senior Brother Lu, what should we do next?"

Inside the independent space, Dai Yunfang looked at Lu Yuanshan, speaking with a tone filled with concern.

The longer they stayed here, the more precarious their situation became.

In truth, the array here was undoubtedly a deathtrap for them, who were orthodox Mystic Sect cultivators.

Under the array’s influence, all their divine techniques and Daoist skills were severely weakened.

They could barely utilize even a tenth of their usual strength.

Lu Yuanshan’s expression was somber as he looked at a square-faced middle-aged man not far away, saying:

"Senior Brother Luo, can you contact anyone outside?"

The square-faced middle-aged man, addressed as Senior Brother Luo, heard this and couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile, shaking his head as he said:

"Junior Brother Lu, to be honest, this place is undoubtedly the interception point where the foreign demons enter this realm.

But precisely because of this, some of the contingencies my sect left for me cannot be utilized at all.

Plus, with the array blocking the way, my messages cannot reach the outside.

So..."

He left the sentence unfinished, but whether it was Lu Yuanshan, Dai Yunfang, or the others, they all understood his meaning.

For a moment, the hearts of the dozen or so individuals grew immensely heavy.

Seeing as the barrier surrounding their independent space was getting thinner.

Just then, a fiery golden light, akin to a blazing sun, suddenly erupted in the midst of the blood-colored mist and gloomy environment.
