The Devil of Aged Metal was reborn, and the baleful aura of the Nine Underworlds soared to the heavens.
Those with lower cultivation levels could not sense it, but most of the top powerhouses could sense it.
The Buddhists, Daoists, and Daoists who were fighting against the Primordial Heart Devil, the Wood Devil, and the other Great Demons all cursed in their hearts.
There were even Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm experts from the Western Pure Lands and the Astro Mountains Starry Sea who headed straight for the Nine Underworlds.
However, at this moment, the Nine Underworlds seemed to have come alive and obstructed these Grand Heavenly Realm experts.
On the other hand, the Devil of Aged Metal's resurrection ritual was too fast. It was much faster than the Earth Devil and Water Devil's resurrection.
Very quickly, the baleful aura was restrained, but it became even sharper and more ruthless.
In the depths of the abyss of the Nine Underworlds, there was a strange world. Rays of cold metallic luster shone, symbolizing the rebirth of one of the Twelve Devilish Gods and Devils.
The powerful experts retreated regretfully, and the Nine Underworlds seemed to have returned to peace.
The people who retreated joined the ranks of the Primordial Heart Devil and the other Great Devils.
The Primordial Heart Devil, the Shadow Devil, and the other Great Devils of the Nine Underworlds didn't need to continue fighting anymore. They started to concentrate their strength and focus on returning to the Nine Underworlds.
When Yan Zhaoge learned about the commotion within the Nine Underworlds and the Devil of Aged Metal being revived, an ominous premonition arose within his heart.
After meeting up with Gao Qingxuan, they continued searching for Nie Jingshen, Yu Ye, and Nie Zhenbei within the boundless void.
"When a demon reincarnates, choosing a body doesn't depend on one's realm or talent. The main thing is whether it is compatible with one's body." The hearts of Yan Zhaoge and the others were shrouded by a gloomy haze, "However, it's most likely for the physique of the Devil of Aged Metal to appear amongst those with a sharp and straightforward aura."
Martial artists who specialized in the Sword Dao were all among them.
"The Devil of Aged Metal hid himself so deeply this time. He didn't reveal any clues at all …" Yan Zhaoge frowned.
His expression suddenly changed and he stopped in his tracks.
The others stopped and looked at him.
After a moment, Yan Zhaoge resumed his advance, "There's news from senior apprentice-uncle Yue!"
After receiving Fu Yunchi's message, Yan Zhaoge and the others immediately hurried over to meet up with him.
As expected, Fu Yunchi had the Concealment Seal left behind by Yue Zhenbei.
Through the seal, Yan Zhaoge and the others immediately followed the clues and continued searching.
As they walked, a bewildered look suddenly appeared on Yan Zhaoge's face, "Wait!"
After looking around for a while, he walked in another direction and stared at the dark void for a while.
Yan Zhaoge waved his hand, light smoke dissipating before his eyes.
Then, a flashing sigil appeared in his vision.
Yan Di, Gao Qingxuan, and the others followed up and carefully observed the seal. They all noticed that something was wrong with it. "Without any special augmentation technique, anyone would be able to see its contents."
As Yan Zhaoge undid the seal, he discovered the message left behind by Nie Jingshen, summarizing what they had encountered and also leaving behind clues to find them.
However, as Yan Zhaoge and the others saw it, their entire bodies turned cold.
According to the talisman's condition, if the Lofty Sovereign, Zhang Buxu, and the people of the Immortal Court were pursuing them, once they discovered a talisman, they would be able to easily obtain the information contained within. Naturally, they would be able to locate Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye.
"Senior Brother Nie shouldn't be so careless. What's going on?"
Yan Zhaoge and the others didn't have the time to think about it as they hurriedly rushed over according to the clues Nie Jingshen had provided.
Not long after, a sword light flashed in front of him. Someone was flying toward him.
It was Yue Zhenbei.
After seeing Yan Zhaoge and the others, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
After a pause, Yue Zhenbei said softly, "Little Friend Yu is heavily injured. You'll have to take care of her."
Seeing their granddaughter's current state, Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, and Gao Qingxuan's hearts were filled with sorrow.
Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, and the others looked at each other. The ominous premonition within their hearts grew stronger.
After seeing Yu Ye, Long Xingquan held back his sorrow and asked Yue Zhenbei, "Where's Jingshen?"
The only response he got was silence.
Yan Zhaoge and the others all felt a chill shoot up their spines from the soles of their feet all the way to the top of their heads.
"… Met with misfortune? Or … "asked Yan Di in a deep tone.
Yue Zhenbei slowly described what he had seen.
Everyone remained silent.
"Zhang Qingchao … and those Immortal Court bastards …" Yan Zhaoge's face was expressionless, and his teeth were gritting.
Even Daoist Cloud Conquest and the Brocade Emperor, who were of the Three Clear Lineage, sighed.
"Zhaoge, is there no other way?" asked Long Xingquan with a solemn expression.
Yan Zhaoge closed his eyes and pondered. While suppressing his rage, he urged himself to think calmly.
For Zhang Buxu and the Immortal Court, it was a nightmare for the Devil of Aged Metal to possess Nie Jingshen instead of Yu Ye.
Even if the Devil of Aged Metal was revived, he wouldn't immediately return to his peak state.
However, when one succumbed to the devil, their injuries could be healed.
Unless Ying Yuzhen was like Yu Ye in the past, where her three souls and six spirits were almost completely dispersed.
If the Devil of Aged Metal possessed Yu Ye, Zhang Buxu and the others could still think of a solution.
If Nie Jingshen succumbed to the devil, his injuries would definitely be healed.
If that was the case, Zhang Buxu and the others wouldn't be able to continue their pursuit.
However, from the looks of it, Nie Jingshen had already passed the Pure Profound Tribulation and ascended to the Profound Immortal Realm!
When a martial art practitioner succumbed to the devil, there was hope for their cultivation to rise to the next level.
The lower the cultivation, the higher the possibility.
Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, the hope of directly crossing the heavenly chasm was already extremely slim.
Moreover, Nie Jingshen was previously gravely injured. He might lose the final hope of his cultivation soaring after succumbing to the devil.
As such, Zhang Buxu was only unwilling to lose the final chance to kill Yu Ye. He didn't think that he would be in danger.
However, he never thought that Nie Jingshen would actually progress further and ascend to the Tranquil Profound Immortal Realm. He even killed Zhang Buxu and the others on the spot.
"Earlier Heaven Nascent Form … Earlier Heaven Nascent Form!" Yan Zhaoge opened his eyes, "Senior apprentice-brother Nie's physique is too unique. When others succumbed to the devil, he would take two steps."
"However, it's precisely because of this that his succumbing to the devil is different from others."
Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself, "Earlier Heaven is eternal, never falling to Later Heaven. The Six Great Extinct Devils were born from the creation of the heaven and earth. They weren't born from Earlier Heaven …"
After pondering for a while, he still shook his head.
Yue Zhenbei stared at Yan Zhaoge. Yan Zhaoge pursed his lips and said, "Compared to other Great Devils' incarnations, senior apprentice-brother Nie's autonomy is slightly higher. However …"
Everyone remained silent.
"What's done is done. We can only slowly plan for Jingshen and the Nine Underworlds' matters." After a long while, Yue Zhenbei slowly said, "Now, let's investigate who betrayed Jingshen and the others!"
He raised his head and looked at his surroundings, "The seals left behind by Jingshen had been touched by someone else. The only ones who could break through the secret art would be our own people!"
"They can't escape," said Yan Zhaoge coldly.
Then, Yan Zhaoge opened his palm, and the seal he found earlier appeared within his palm.
Yue Zhenbei also handed the seals he found to Yan Zhaoge.
