That thing was no more than three feet long and wore a wide bamboo hat on its head. Its face couldn't be seen at all. Its body was tightly wrapped, and only its limbs were exposed.
It was called a thing because of the way it walked. Sometimes, it would walk on all fours like a dog, and sometimes, it would stand on its hind legs. It felt as if it didn't know how to walk, or didn't care how to walk.
But looking at its limbs, it would definitely make a normal person jump in fright, because although the shape of its hands and feet were similar to that of a human, its ten fingernails were frighteningly long, sharp, and glowing with a strange green color in the dark night. Its palms and soles didn't feel the slightest bit fleshy, much like the bark of an old tree that had withered for many years, dry and cracked.
That thing walked silently.
What was even more terrifying was that wherever that thing passed, the surrounding flowers and trees seemed to be instantly sucked dry of water. The blooming flowers withered and withered, the leaves and green grass turned yellow, and even the damp ground that had just rained became dry and hard.
Late at night, a tall and burly Taoist priest wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe was carrying a long sword and holding a horsetail whisk. He was expressionless as he traversed through the dark and dense forest with such an item. Anyone who saw it would feel a chill run down their spine and their hair stand on end!
They were descending the mountain, and their target was naturally Mansion Number One, which was in the midst of a fierce battle.
The tall Daoist priest had a solemn expression on his face as he walked faster and faster. The thing behind him actually followed him closely, not falling behind at all.
When he was about fifty meters away from Mansion Number One, the Taoist priest slowed down and lifted his eyelids slightly, glancing down.
He softly chanted his Taoist name, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord …"
Then, he gently placed the horsetail whisk in his left hand on the crook of his right arm, raised his left hand, and lightly patted the tambourine in his right hand.
"Dong!"
The sound of the drum wasn't loud, and it didn't seem to travel more than ten meters. But this gentle pat caused a drastic change in the originally evenly matched battlefield in Mansion Number One!
In Mansion Number One, Bai Xianer was fighting Sikong Wuji.
Sikong Wuji was indeed very strong. Although he didn't have the help of the other three experts, he wasn't at a disadvantage facing Bai Xianer alone.
From the looks of it, if there were no external forces involved, even if the two of them fought until dawn, it would be difficult to determine the victor.
This time, Sikong Wuji didn't go on a rampage. He had been defending steadily, and his moves were flawless. Only when he couldn't dodge would he have to face Bai Xianer head-on.
On the other hand, Bai Xian 'er fought faster and faster. Her beautiful face was filled with anxiety, and her eyes were filled with more and more worry. There was even a hint of fear.
That was the instinctive fear of an animal when it sensed its natural enemy approaching, or when it sensed great danger!
Of course, Bai Xianer wasn't afraid of Sikong Wuji. Even before Qin Dongxue arrived, she wasn't afraid when she fought against the four experts!
The reason why she was like this was because she had a strong feeling that her natural enemy had arrived. It had already appeared!
Bai Xianer, or rather, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's natural enemy, was the drought demon.
Bai Xianer and the drought demon weren't just natural enemies, they were mortal enemies!
However, after Bai Xianer followed Ling Yun, she had transformed into three tails and passed the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation. She also cultivated in Mansion Number One for a long time, and her cultivation improved rapidly. Even if she couldn't defeat the drought demon, she wouldn't be so afraid.
However, Bai Xianer still felt a strong sense of danger, not only from the drought demon, but also from something else.
That was why Bai Xianer ignored the exhaustion of her energy and attacked Sikong Wuji immediately. She wanted to kill Sikong Wuji in the shortest time possible so that she could deal with the upcoming danger calmly.
However, Sikong Wuji seemed to have seen through Bai Xianer's thoughts. He had no intention of fighting Bai Xianer to the death. Instead, he used the Illusory Demonic Steps to dodge and evade.
Sikong Wuji was waiting, waiting for that person to appear, waiting for that person to make a move.
He even knew the identity of that person. That person was the Eldest Senior Brother of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Venerable Lie. He also knew why Venerable Lie was here.
Venerable Lie was here to kill Bai Xianer, the most heaven-defying existence in Mansion Number One!
That was until the sound of the drum suddenly sounded!
The sound of the drum was extremely soft and inconspicuous. It had no effect on the others on the battlefield. At most, it was an announcement that someone had arrived.
However, this sound of the drum was like a clap of thunder above Bai Xianer's head!
Bai Xianer was chasing after Sikong Wuji. When she heard the sound of the drum, she felt a buzzing sound in her head. Her heart seemed to have been smashed by a heavy hammer, contracting rapidly and beating wildly!
Bai Xianer felt a sharp pain in her heart. Her lightning-fast movement technique stopped abruptly, and her pretty face turned pale. Her movements slowed down instantly.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
Another three consecutive sounds of the drum were like three claps of thunder exploding above Bai Xianer's head and ears. Bai Xianer's heart was beating even more violently. Her strength seemed to have been sucked out of her body, and her delicate body was already on the verge of collapse!
"Xian Er!"
Qin Dongxue naturally heard the sound of the drum as well. She instantly noticed Bai Xianer's situation and couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Without hesitation, she slashed at Xue Yingkong three times, forcing him to retreat. Then, she used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to rush towards Bai Xianer!
But no matter how fast Qin Dongxue was, she wasn't as fast as Sikong Wuji!
Sikong Wuji seized the opportunity and used the Phantom Demonic Steps to arrive in front of Bai Xianer. He punched at Bai Xianer's chest!
Bai Xianer covered her heart with her hand and forcefully took a deep breath to dodge the attack!
"Dong!"
Another sound of the drum could be heard, and Bai Xianer's delicate body shook violently. She couldn't dodge Sikong Wuji's earth-shattering punch!
"Bam!"
Sikong Wuji's punch landed squarely on Bai Xianer's right shoulder, and she was sent flying into the air!
"Xian Er!"
Qin Dongxue exclaimed as she rushed to Sikong Wuji's side. Due to her heartache and anger, her murderous aura had reached its peak. She used the strongest move of the Ninth Killing Technique on Sikong Wuji!
Ultimate Kill!
Xian Er was suddenly injured. Qin Dongxue couldn't let her fall into Sikong Wuji's hands even if she had to risk her life.
"Hahahaha …"
Sikong Wuji didn't pursue after his successful attack. Instead, he flew back with a maniacal laughter and dodged Qin Dongxue's crazy attack!
"Sister Xian Er!"
Before Bai Xianer fell to the ground, Ning Lingyu had already flown up and hugged her in the air. Then, they returned to the group in a flash.
"Swoosh!" After Qin Dongxue forced Sikong Wuji back, she flew over and hugged Bai Xianer.
"Xian Er, what's wrong? Why did this happen? "
"Swoosh swoosh!"
Paul and Chester were in the midst of their battle. Seeing such a sudden change, they couldn't be bothered to fight anymore. Both of them flew back in a flash. The two Blood Clan members spread their huge wings at the same time to protect their people.
"Wah!"
Bai Xianer spat out a mouthful of blood. Her pretty face was pale, and her eyes were lifeless. She looked at Qin Dongxue and said, "It's … the drum … the drum …"
Although Bai Xianer suffered a full-force punch from Sikong Wuji, she was wearing the Golden Black Devilish Silkworm Garment and had the protection of the Gold Talisman and Defense Talisman.
The real culprit behind Bai Xianer's current state was the drumbeat.
"What?!"
Qin Dongxue stood up angrily with tears in her eyes. She saw a person, no, to be exact, two people landing in the yard.
"Dong!"
The drum sounded again, and this time, even Tang Meng and the rest could hear it clearly. Bai Xianer's body trembled, and she spat out another mouthful of blood!
"Hahahaha …"
Sikong Wuji looked at the newcomers and laughed wildly. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "The Demon Suppression Drum of Dragon Tiger Mountain is indeed extraordinary. However, Venerable Lie, you're a little too late."
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
Daoist Master Lie Sun recited his Daoist name and did not even look at Sikong Wuji. He said righteously, "My orthodox Dao School has come here tonight to vanquish demons and devils. Naturally, we won't associate ourselves with your Devil Doctrine."
Sikong Wuji didn't care about what Venerable Lie said. He looked at the people in the villa and smiled. "Whatever you say. We'll each take what we need tonight and mind our own business."
Sikong Wuji had been waiting for this moment. With his strength, he wouldn't need to worry about anyone in Mansion Number One as long as Bai Xianer fell.
Then, Sikong Wuji shifted his gaze to the sky above the small warehouse and observed the blood mist. The blood mist had become extremely thin, and he couldn't see it with his eyesight.
"Chen Jianwei, the Devil Sect's Holy Son Tian is here to save you. You're almost done with your cultivation. Why don't you come out and have some fun?"
"What?!"
When Cao Shanshan, Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and the rest heard Sikong Wuji's words, their faces changed and they raised their heads at the same time!
"Boom!"
A huge figure with wings directly broke through the roof of the small warehouse and soared into the sky. With a flap of his wings, he instantly flew to Sikong Wuji's side!
"Thank you, Holy Son Tian, for saving Chen Jianwei. The Chen Family will reward you handsomely!"
Sikong Wuji waved his hand. "It's a small matter."
Then, Chen Jianwei bowed to the Blood Demon Sect's Sect Master, Xue Yingkong. "Greetings, Sect Master."
Chen Jianwei's Blood Demon Sky Technique was the most powerful technique in the Blood Demon Sect. He was the Vice Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect.
"You don't have to be so polite, Vice Sect Master."
Xue Yingkong didn't feel good. He came for the Blood Element Bead on Chen Jianwei, but he didn't expect Chen Jianwei to escape before he could take down Mansion Number One. He was in a bad mood now that his wish was dashed.
Chen Jianwei turned around and looked at Mansion Number One with a sinister smile after seeing the two of them.
"Hahahaha …"
Chen Jianwei pointed at Cao Shanshan. "Cao Shanshan, so what if Ling Yun saved you? Tonight, I, Chen Jianwei, will not only drink your blood, but I will also make you my woman! "
Cao Shanshan couldn't figure out how Chen Jianwei escaped. She stared at Chen Jianwei's blood-red eyes and scolded him. "Chen Jianwei, you're dreaming!"
Chen Jianwei's eyes were filled with greed and bloodlust. "You'll know soon enough whether I'm dreaming or not!"
Sikong Wuji glanced at the thing behind Venerable Lie and smiled. "After a month of planning and sacrificing more than a hundred masters, it's finally time to reap the rewards!"
It was four against four just now, and both sides were evenly matched. Now, Venerable Lie appeared with the Drought Demon, Chen Jianwei escaped, and Bai Xianer lost the ability to fight.
It became seven against three. There seemed to be no need for this battle anymore.
However, before Sikong Wuji could finish his sentence, an extremely cold voice was heard coming from the backyard of Mansion Number One!
"Sikong Wuji, it's too early for you to be happy!"
The voice came from a thousand meters away, but before the last word was finished, a tall figure tore through the night sky and rushed into the yard like a cannonball!
Ling Yun had arrived!

En, that's right. Even though I didn't finish the third chapter, this chapter was written overnight. The later chapters are all climaxes, I promise! (To be continued.)
