"Devil Lord, Lady is trapped in the formation. Even if you go down, it won't change anything."
"There are plenty of women. Why must it be her?"
Ji Zhongming's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing that Wang Nian refused to follow his arrangement, he raised his hand, and a thick demonic aura gathered around him.
"If you don't listen, then die first!"
Wang Nian saw that Ji Zhongming was serious. With great difficulty, he lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and led dozens of demonic soldiers towards the front mountain of Qingyun Sword Sect.
However, the cultivation level of these demonic soldiers behind him was only at the Golden Core stage on average. If they encountered Real Man Honghua or Real Man Hengling, they would surely die. So Wang Nian first flew into the dense forest.
His subordinates looked hesitant. "General, can we really break the mountain - protecting formation of Qingyun Sword Sect with just a few dozen of us?"
Wang Nian spat in annoyance. "Break the mountain - protecting formation? Before we even get close to it, we'll be burned to ashes by it!"
The subordinates looked bitter. "Then what should we do? We can't just throw our lives away, even if it's to save the Devil Lord's Lady..."
"Spit! What Devil Lord's Lady? She's just a useless woman!"
"I really don't know what spell she cast on the Devil Lord to make him obey her every word. He not only deposed the young lady of the Huan family from the position of Lady but also forced General Huan to death!"
"I really... can't pledge my loyalty to such a Devil Lord's Lady!"
The demonic soldiers looked at each other. At this moment, they were hiding in the dense forest. If they didn't follow the Devil Lord's orders, they would be in big trouble.
But if they did follow, only a slim chance of survival awaited them.
"General, what should we do..."
They now missed the time when General Huan was still alive.
If General Huan were still alive, at least he could restrain the Devil Lord. Now that he was gone, the Devil Lord did whatever he wanted without caring about their lives at all.
Wang Nian gritted his back teeth, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. "This time, I'll risk my life!"
"Brothers, no matter what, I'll do my best to protect you. This will be our last time working for the Devil Lord!"
Hearing Wang Nian's words, the demonic soldiers were shocked. "General, what do you mean? Are you going to defect?"
Wang Nian squinted his eyes. "If the Devil Lord still refuses to see the light, then we can't be blamed."
The demonic soldiers looked at each other, seeing the panic and fear in each other's eyes.
Although they were demonic soldiers, they were different from those extremely vicious demonic cultivators. They had honestly increased their cultivation through practice and had never killed innocent people.
They had once been soldiers under Huan Zhong. General Huan had treated them very well and never asked them to do evil things, so their hands were clean.
But since Lin Yibai came, they had to follow her orders to do things they didn't want to do at all.
They didn't want to pledge their loyalty to such a master.
So the leading demonic soldier took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and said to Wang Nian, "After General Huan left, we've regarded you as our leader. General, we'll follow your lead."
Wang Nian patted his shoulder and nodded. "Since that's the case, then let's go all out!"
Then, he summoned his natal magic tool, the Bone Flute, and blew out a strange melody.
The sound attracted some spirit beasts in the dense forest. As the spirit beasts gathered, Wang Nian released all the demonic aura on his body.
The spirit beasts that came into contact with the demonic aura were instantly eroded and infected by it.
After a while, some of the surviving spirit beasts were infected by the demonic aura and became demonic beasts. Their pupils turned scarlet, and they let out roars.
The disciples guarding the mountain gate heard the unusual roars coming from the dense forest and knew that something was happening. They quickly went to the Law Enforcement Hall to ask for instructions from Elder Feiyun.
But Elder Feiyun was not in Qingyun Sword Sect at the moment. The disciples guarding the mountain gate were so anxious that they were running around in circles. Then they saw Real Man Hongdie.
Real Man Hongdie was about to go to Real Man Honghua's cave with Hong Chaoyang when the disciples guarding the mountain gate told them that there was something going on in the dense forest.
Hong Chaoyang's face immediately became serious. She remembered Shen Qing's instructions.
When Shen Qing was going to the back mountain, she had sent Hong Chaoyang a voice message, saying that if the mountain - protecting formation appeared, she must find Real Man Honghua and gather the disciples to go to the back mountain.
It was this voice message that made Hong Chaoyang know that Shen Qing must have encountered something urgent. She told Real Man Hongdie about it, and Real Man Hongdie decided to take her to find Real Man Honghua.
But before they could find Real Man Honghua, the formation on the back mountain seemed to be attacked, and the boundary of the formation appeared.
"Damn it! Something is attacking the mountain - protecting formation, and it's coming in full force!"
Real Man Hongdie seriously ordered the disciples guarding the mountain gate to ring the bell to alert the disciples of Qingyun Sword Sect.
Then she asked Hong Chaoyang to go to the training ground to gather all the disciples, while she went to find Real Man Honghua.
The range of the mountain - protecting formation of Qingyun Sword Sect was extremely wide, including the first half of the dense forest and the entire area of the back mountain.
Naturally, Shen Qing and Li Xian could also see the boundary of the mountain - protecting formation.
Pei Xuanjing and the others, who were dejectedly walking towards Worry - Free Peak, also saw it.
They didn't care about the injured Shen Chuyun and quickly rushed to the training ground.
This was a well - known fact to all the disciples of Qingyun Sword Sect. Once the mountain - protecting formation was activated and the bell rang, it meant that a powerful enemy was coming. At this time, they should gather at the training ground, where the elders and the sect master would assign tasks.
So when the disciples saw the boundary and heard the bell ringing, they all rushed to the training ground in a hurry.
Real Man Honghua had originally planned to go into seclusion, but was hurriedly pulled out of his cave by Real Man Hongdie.
When he saw that the mountain - protecting formation was activated, Real Man Honghua put away his thought of continuing to practice swordsmanship and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
He remained calm in the face of danger and methodically arranged for all the disciples below the Golden Core stage to hide in the mountains. He also arranged for the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall to be divided into three teams and led by the elders to patrol the mountain.
As for the place attacked in the front, he would lead the team there himself.
Seeing the boundary, Ji Zhongming knew that Wang Nian and the others had started their attack in the front.
He gathered all the demonic aura on his body into one place and then smashed it down heavily.
His cultivation had reached the middle stage of Divine Transformation, but it was far from enough to break the mountain - protecting formation with his cultivation level.
However, the location of the back mountain was in the weakest part of the boundary. So after he forcibly attacked twice, a tiny gap appeared in the boundary.
The gap was very small, but Ji Zhongming seized this opportunity and rushed down directly.
But when passing through the boundary, his body was severely burned, and there were scorched black marks on his hands and body.
After he passed through the boundary, the gap in the formation closed instantly.
Lin Yibai was overjoyed when she saw a black mist pass through the mountain - protecting formation, because she knew that Ji Zhongming had come to save her.
