The disciples at the foot of the mountain were almost all found, but unfortunately, there were still many disciples who encountered danger and couldn't return. When Dongfang Chang 'ao returned from sending another batch of disciples up the mountain, Ma Jiugu asked in a deep voice: "Are the disciples of the various sects almost all back?"
"The divine sense compass of each sect shows that we have found all the people who are still alive." Dongfang Chang 'ao took out a miniature version of the divine sense compass and frowned: "On the contrary, there are still six people from my Fuxian Island who haven't been found. Strange, why did they run so far away?"
"Who else?" Ma Jiugu's eyebrows twitched unconsciously. She personally followed the elders of Fuxian Island to search, but she didn't see Yue Qianchou. She was afraid that he had already met with misfortune, but she still hoped that he was among the remaining six people.
Dongfang Chang Ao stared at the light dots on the Divine Sense compass and answered, "One disciple each from the Cultivation Pavilion, Alchemy Pavilion, and An Ran Pavilion, as well as three disciples from the Ten Thousand Fragrance Garden."
Elder Quan and Elder Sun glanced at the divine sense compass and sighed in their hearts. This kid is really restless, why did he run so far away?
At this moment, several figures flashed over and called out: "Jiugu!" They were the four consecrators of Fuxian Island, and the last one was left to guard the mountain peak. Ma Jiugu looked at them and said: "My Fuxian Island still has six disciples who are still alive and haven't returned. We can't abandon them."
"Of course!" One of the consecrators replied, and the other three nodded.
"Haha …" A hearty laughter came from afar: "Last night, I heard that Brother Meng came here to welcome guests. Today, there are guests, so how can I, Ao Li, dare to slack off? I especially came to greet the honored guests."
Who is Ao Li? Everyone was slightly startled. Judging from the voice, the cultivation of the person who came was not weaker than them. However, Ma Jiugu's expression became a bit excited. Her drooping eyelids suddenly opened and she stared at the source of the voice.
Not long after, they saw a soft palanquin made of green vines, carried by four bearers, walking in the air. It seemed to be moving very slowly, but it soon landed in front of everyone.
These four bearers had very high cultivation to be able to walk in the air. Who was it that could make people like them carry the palanquin? Everyone from the Supporting Immortal Island stared at the figure behind the veil, wondering who it was. The four porters lifted the palanquin off their shoulders and placed it securely on the ground. The one in front turned around and lifted the veil on the palanquin, revealing the true face of the person inside.
A middle-aged man dressed in a green scholarly robe that seemed to have been washed to the point that it was a little pale. He gently waved a folding fan as he lazily reclined on the soft sedan chair. As the veil was pulled up, the man gradually stood up. His black hair was tied at the top of his head, his sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, and his pitch-black eyes that shone like stars swept across the crowd. What an elegant man. However, it was a little strange for it to appear here.
When the man's gaze fell on Ma Jiugu, he suddenly froze. He gently waved the folding fan in his hand and stood up from the sedan chair. He said with a smile, "I was wondering who this esteemed guest was. It turns out to be an old acquaintance."
Everyone from the Supporting Immortal Island heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Ma Jiugu. It was good that he was an old acquaintance. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing to fight with someone with such a high cultivation in the Demon Domain. Moreover, the four porters beside him didn't look like people to be trifled with. One of the consecrators asked, "Aunt, do you know him?"
The one who asked was the previous sect master of the Supporting Immortal Island, Guan Dinghai, who was also Ma Jiugu's nephew.
Unexpectedly, Ma Jiugu gritted her teeth and said, "Not only do I know him, my face was ruined by him."
"Ah!" Guan Dinghai screamed, and the others were even more startled. Wasn't that an enemy? Everyone immediately became vigilant. Everyone knew that Ma Jiugu's cultivation had reached the final phase of the tribulation three hundred years ago. Back then, she was also a beautiful woman. However, when she came back from a cultivation trip, everyone discovered that her face was ruined. Even after using many spirit pills and miraculous medicines, she still couldn't recover, leaving behind a face full of pockmarks. Thus, she was given the nickname Ma Jiugu.
The man waved his folding fan and leisurely said, "Guan Jiufeng, you can't blame me for what happened back then. Back then, you didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You actually dared to barge into this place and started a massacre in the Demon Domain. If this king doesn't teach you a lesson, you will really think that there is no one in the Demon Domain that can stop you. You should know that this king is already giving you a lot of face by not taking your life back then. Don't be so ungrateful again. "
Ma Jiugu was old, but which woman didn't cherish their appearance? Not to mention, she was a beautiful woman back then, and having her face ruined was worse than killing her. Recalling the past and seeing her enemy again, Ma Jiugu couldn't help but tremble with anger.
"Aunt, who is this person?" Guan Dinghai couldn't help but ask after seeing that Ma Jiugu dared to call herself this king.
Hearing her nephew's question, Ma Jiugu calmed down and revealed a mocking expression. She sneered and said, "Dinghai, don't be fooled by this person's human appearance. He is actually a fox spirit. He is clearly a demon, but he still imitates humans and pretends to be refined. This demon is the local Demon Monarch, Ao Li."
Demon Monarch Ao Li? Everyone was startled. They didn't expect this scholarly man to be one of the ten famous Demon Monarchs in the Demon Domain. They didn't see the Ghost King, but they did see a Demon Monarch. It seemed it would be difficult for them to settle this peacefully today.
No matter how well-mannered this woman was, once she truly hated someone, it was inevitable for her to be a bit sarcastic. Ao Li's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. Ma Jiugu's words had indeed poked at his sore spot. Although he was a demon, he was extremely envious of the elegant and refined men in the mortal world and imitated their habits in every aspect.
Ao Li put away his folding fan and sneered, "Guan Jiufeng, seeing that you are an acquaintance, I originally wanted to let you all live, but you don't care about our past relationship. Since that's the case, then all of you can stay here for this king!"
"Chang Ao, the ten of you retreat!" shouted Ma Jiugu. With the strength of Dongfang Chang Ao's group, they weren't qualified to participate in this battle.
With that said, Ma Jiugu seemed to instantly become younger. The Demon Slayer Staff in her hand turned into a streak of light that shot towards Ao Li's face. Ao Li coldly snorted and lightly waved his folding fan, sending the Demon Slayer Staff flying.
As soon as the main character made a move, the people on both sides immediately released their auras. With so many people's auras condensing together, they immediately formed a powerful pressure in the surroundings. The surrounding vegetation and rocks were blown away, and the birds and beasts that couldn't escape in time were turned into a bloody mist. The area within a kilometer was immediately cleared.
The distant Dongfang Chang Ao's group was startled. They were truly worthy of being late Transcending Tribulation experts. Before they even made a move, just their auras were already astonishing.
Suddenly, Ma Jiugu, Ao Li, and the others coughed up a mouthful of blood. Dongfang Chang Ao's group also coughed up a mouthful of blood before directly collapsing to the ground. A sonorous and unparalleled divine sense fiercely crashed into everyone's mind. No one could withstand this blow, and they were all injured in an instant.
"Who?!" Ma Jiugu shouted with her mouth full of blood. She staggered back with Guan Dinghai and the others. Their faces were filled with bewilderment. This was too terrifying. Even with their cultivation, they could not block the attack of a divine sense. Ao Li and the others also staggered back. Their arrogance from a moment ago disappeared without a trace, replaced with fear and unease.
