Xiao Chen felt many illusions, and it was hard to distinguish the real from the real. Sometimes it was like the vast waves of the sea, sometimes it was like the mysterious clouds in the mountains. For a moment, Xiao Chen felt a splitting headache. It was as if he had once again fallen into the illusion of the previous world, falling one layer after another.

After an unknown amount of time, this strange feeling slowly dissipated. Xiao Chen gradually regained his senses. However, the scenery in front of him suddenly became clear. The sky had already brightened. A short while ago, a night had actually passed.

The phenomenon brought about by the formation had also disappeared. In the four directions of Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li, Patriarch Motian, Pavilion Master White Cloud, Nether Monarch Xuan Ming, and Meng Xian’er held the formation and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

“Zhen, Xun, Gen, Dui” was maintained by Xie Tianluo and the others. After three days and three nights, the restrictions on the entire Demon Mountain finally began to gradually loosen.

After three days, because of the array formation, the consumption of the four of them wasn’t too great. When dusk fell, a crack suddenly appeared in front of the mountain. It seemed that the restriction leading to the bottom of the mountain was about to be opened.

“The restriction has been gradually lifted. It seems that as Fairy Exodus said, the true secrets hidden in this Devil Mountain are all at the bottom of the mountain.”

Pavilion Master White Cloud said indifferently. The disciples in the distance looked over. When they saw the crack in the restriction that was gradually appearing in front of the mountain, their eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

During these three days, Xiao Chen had been standing guard in front of the mountain. He only needed to wait for the crack to open a bit more and the restriction to weaken a bit before he could break the restriction with his Di Gu Sword.

Meng Xian’er said, “In that case, we need to be even more cautious and careful. Everyone, don’t be careless at this moment.”

The other three didn’t say anything else. The restrictions on the entire Demon Mountain were extremely heavy. If they were to forcefully break through, then even if another 40 people with the same cultivation as them came, they would still be burned to ashes.

Fortunately, Meng Xian’er had figured out the weakness of this restriction. At this moment, they had formed a formation to temporarily open the restriction. It could be considered a very tricky move.

Three more days passed. On the seventh day, the restriction in front of the mountain finally loosened. The crack in the restriction looked much wider than it had been three days ago.

Meng Xian’er looked down and saw that the restriction had almost loosened. He said loudly, “Childe Xiao, that’s enough.”

A moment of nervousness was about to arrive. The four disciples of the Devil Sect held their breaths. Xiao Chen stared at the crack in the restriction not far away and didn’t say anything else. He instantly took out his Di Gu Sword, just like when he had cut the crack in the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, and slashed it towards the crack in the restriction in front of the mountain.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, the entire valley trembled violently. The restriction in front of the mountain was also instantly shattered. In the void, a pitch-black and bottomless path slowly appeared.

The path leading to the bottom of the mountain must be a different path. At this moment, many disciples in the Devil Sect were holding their breaths and watching the strange path slowly appear without saying a word.

At this moment, Meng Xian’er and the others still didn’t dare to relax. They maintained the formation for another three hours. It was almost dark before the four of them finally stabilized the formation. With this formation supporting them, the restriction of the Demon Mountain would not be restored in a short period of time.

The four of them came to the front of the mountain and looked at the bottomless dark path. They were all silent. At this moment, strange demonic auras had actually seeped out from the path. Even though the people here were from the Demon Gate, they couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened. A bright moon slowly rose into the sky, and the night breeze revealed traces of mournful coldness.

Meng Xian’er looked at the other three and said, “The restriction here has been lifted. We can enter it now and find out what exactly happened.”

Hearing this, the other three remained silent. After a while, Patriarch Demon Heaven said, “There’s no harm in going inside. However, at the foot of this mountain, it’s dangerous and unpredictable. I hope that everyone will not mess up when the time comes.”

The meaning of this sentence was obvious. He didn’t want everyone to harbor their own thoughts at this moment. Otherwise, not only would no one be able to find the Devil Scripture, they might even be trapped in it and find it difficult to get out.

Mysterious Nether Secluded Monarch and Pavilion Master White Cloud also understood this logic. Patriarch Motian did not say anything else and said to the person behind him, “Tianluo, bring someone to guard outside. If there is anything, immediately send a message.”

“Yes, foster father.”

Xie Tianluo cupped his hands. As for Yu Qixuanji, Young Master Bai, and the others, they naturally had to defend the formation outside to prevent any accidents. Thus, only Meng Xian’er and Xiao Chen had entered the bottom of the mountain.

After making their decision, the few of them did not hesitate and immediately arrived at the bottomless and strange path. After arriving here, for some reason, Xiao Chen felt a strange feeling. Seeing that his expression was different, Meng Xian’er immediately sent a secret message and asked, “Childe Xiao, what’s wrong?”

“It’s fine.”

Xiao Chen sent back the secret message. Could it be that he was carrying the blood jade and the mysterious hexagonal stone plate?

Back in the East Continent, countless Immortal Devil God and Buddha figures suddenly appeared at sea that night. They were closely related to the hexagonal stone plate and the mysterious blood jade. Could it be that there was something related to it beneath this Devil Mountain?

“If there are no more questions, why don’t we go in?”

The Dark Nether Secluded Monarch’s voice was gloomy. Even though he knew that there might be unknown dangers hidden beneath this mountain, he and the others were the leaders of the current several great Devil Sects. They all possessed their own abilities and were not afraid of anything.

The few of them did not hesitate any longer. They leapt into the dark path. The disciples of the other sects watched nervously. After Meng Xian’er and the others entered, there was not the slightest movement. It was as if they had disappeared into the depths of the path.

It was midnight, and the moon was as bright as day, illuminating the surroundings of the Devil Mountain. The ghosts in the darkness of the past had long since been shocked far away. At this moment, everything was silent, and only the rustling sound of the gloomy wind caused one to tremble with fear.

At this moment, behind a huge boulder in the distance, there were two figures standing in the moonlight. The two of them were none other than Feng Wuyin and Shen Quezi.

“These people are trying their best to open the restriction here. I wonder what is hidden beneath that mountain … to attract them so much. What is the Divine Fault Elder planning to do now?”

Feng Wuyin looked at Shen Que Zi and said indifferently.

Two days ago, they had already tracked him here. Earlier, Shen Que Zi had paid attention to this place. Now that he had found this place, it was naturally not difficult. However, he was afraid of Patriarch Devil Heaven and the others. That was why he had been hiding his aura for the past two days and hadn’t appeared.

At this moment, Shen Que Zi’s gaze was cold and vicious. It was here that Xiao Chen had seized Xuan Ji Zi’s good fortune, causing him to die. Even his primordial spirit had dissipated. Shen Que Zi wished he could crush his bones into ashes. However, just a few days ago, he suddenly received a message that he wanted to capture Xiao Chen alive and that he had to retrieve the Di Gu Sword. This made him very angry.

Obviously, he did not dare to disobey the order. Even though he was close to the Ruined Heaven Realm, his status in the Supreme Origin Dao Sect was not low. However, if he angered the two Grand Elders whose cultivation was unfathomable, if he wanted to die, the other party would only need to move his fingers.

If it weren’t for this, he could have killed the people from the Devil Sect outside and caused the formation to collapse. At that time, the restriction of the entire Devil Mountain would be suppressed. How could Xiao Chen and the others survive if they were inside?

However, if he did so, it would undoubtedly implicate him. Moreover, Feng Wuyin would not agree. He knew that Feng Wuyin only wanted to capture Meng Xian’er alive and force her to become his dual cultivation partner. Therefore, Feng Wuyin would never let Meng Xian’er die inside.

Shen Que Zi clearly understood this point in his heart. Therefore, he couldn’t avenge his junior brother now. He could only wait until he captured Xiao Chen, then think of a way to obtain a wisp of Xiao Chen’s soul from the two Grand Elders, and then refine and torture it day and night. Perhaps this was the only way to dispel the hatred in his heart.
