Night slowly descended. Five imperial guards walked toward the Profound Golden Illusion Formation in a row. Among the five imperial guards were Qin Yu and Kuroh.
The Profound Golden Illusion Formation was an extremely powerful illusion formation. This formation was personally set up by a level eight Demon Emperor, Ao Ku. With Qin Yu's strength, he was still unable to forcibly break it open. In order to save Bai Xin, he could only rely on impersonating an imperial guard to enter.
Kuroh's gaze was cast toward the black pillar in the center of the Profound Golden Illusion Formation. A person was tied to the black pillar.
"Big Sister Bai Xin." Kuroh's heart trembled.
Even though Bai Xin's face was covered by her messy long hair, even though the dust made her look like a beggar, even though Kuroh was looking from afar, he was able to recognize that figure with a single glance. It was the Big Sister Bai Xin who had cared for him so much back then.
"Xiao Hei, have a natural expression. What are you looking at?" Qin Yu's voice sounded in Kuroh's mind.
Kuroh suddenly woke up.
"Little Black, that silly look just now, it's easy to make people suspicious." Qin Yu said via voice transmission. Seeing Xiao Hei's appearance, he was completely able to understand. However, at this moment, they could not afford to make the slightest mistake. Once they were discovered … they could only fight.
However, even if they were to fight, they should at least enter the formation. Otherwise, how could they save Bai Xin?
"Brothers, listen up." The leading man of the group said in a clear voice. "We are about to enter the Profound Golden Illusion Formation. This Profound Golden Illusion Formation changes every two hours. Every time, the passage will be different. Although we have guarded it many times, we must not be careless when entering the formation. If we are careless and fall into the formation, we should all know the consequences."
Immediately, a series of shouts of agreement sounded.
The Profound Golden Illusion Formation occupied a relatively large area. In the center of the formation was the place where Bai Xin was tied up. There were five imperial guards surrounding the black pillar that was tied up.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yu was slightly puzzled. "Guarding Bai Xin? Why must the imperial guards enter the formation to guard her? Could it be that they are worried that someone will break the formation and suddenly appear inside it? "
Qin Yu's guess was indeed one of the reasons for this arrangement. After all, there were many strange people in the world. Who knew if Qin Yu and his brothers were proficient in array formations? However, Qin Yu did not know that there was a more important reason for this arrangement.
"Alright, it's time." The leader said to Qin Yu and the other three, "I will inform everyone of the passage for the next two hours through my Demon Consciousness. Everyone, please don't step on the wrong path."
Soon after, the leader transmitted the passageway to the Distant Golden Illusory Array to the others.
Qin Yu and Kuroh glanced at each other, and a hint of a smile appeared in their eyes. Then, under the guidance of the leader, Qin Yu's group of five carefully followed the safe path and slowly approached the core of the Profound Golden Illusion Array. At this time, the five people who were guarding the array saw Qin Yu's group of five and smiled.
"Xiao Hei, our luck is still pretty good. That Ao Ku actually did not use his Demon Consciousness to investigate even now."
Qin Yu was very relaxed.
At this time, even if they were to be discovered by Ao Ku, Qin Yu was still certain that he would be able to save Bai Xin in an instant and then rapidly leave through the passageway. Even if he were to be surrounded by the Peng Demon Emperor and them, he would still be able to enter the Jiang Lan's Realm and train in peace.
Although Qin Yu had the desire to explore the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, Qin Yu wanted to increase his strength so that he could meet Li Er as soon as possible.
"I'm afraid that Ao Ku is not that diligent." Said Kuroh via voice transmission. His gaze was unable to help himself from occasionally glancing at Bai Xin in the distance. Seeing Kuroh acting like this, Qin Yu felt a bit helpless in his heart. However, he did not really care about it.
These three guards and two impersonators slowly proceeded toward the core safe area.
Qin Yu's group of five finally passed through the Profound Golden Illusion Array and arrived at the core safe area.
"Heh, you've finally arrived. Well then, us brothers shall go and rest first." The leader of the five guards said with a smile. Immediately after, the five guards happily left the Profound Golden Illusion Array one by one in an orderly manner.
Qin Yu's group of five casually arranged themselves in a row. With that black pillar as the center, they formed a large circle.
*****
Bai Xin's eyes were hazy with tears.
"Little Yu, little sister, I can only do this much for the two of you." Bai Xin muttered in her heart. The scene of that day when she was captured by Ao Ku and brought back to the Imperial City and then summoned by the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan appeared in her mind.
In a spacious palace hall. Above the palace hall, the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan's body was completely enveloped in a golden color. Below him was Bai Xin and beside her stood Ao Ku respectfully.
"You're Bai Xin?" That sharp voice seemed to have pierced through her soul, causing Bai Xin's entire body to tremble.
Bai Xin who was kneeling on the ground raised her head to look. She was unable to clearly see the appearance of the Peng Demon Emperor. All she saw was his pair of ice-cold and ruthless eyes.
"I'm asking you, you're not going to answer?" The Peng Demon Emperor's voice was slightly higher.
"I am Bai Xin." Bai Xin's voice was very low and deep. It was a bit hoarse.
The Peng Demon Emperor who was enveloped in a golden color said indifferently. "Bai Xin, you ought to know about your current situation. Your soul and Yuanying have been completely restricted. It is impossible for you to even commit suicide. I've already decided to tie you to the black pillar on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain and lure Kuroh and his two brothers over."
"You … despicable!" Bai Xin angrily stared at the Peng Demon Emperor. However, Bai Xin felt as if the Peng Demon Emperor was ten thousand miles away. The distance between them was too far.
"Right now, I wish to make a deal with you." The Peng Demon Emperor's voice was very dull. It seemed that he was not angry.
Bai Xin fiercely turned her head to the side. She did not even bother to take a glance at the Peng Demon Emperor.
"Bai Xin, even if you don't cooperate, you are still unable to commit suicide or escape. I am still able to tie you to the black pillar on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain. You ought to be able to guess that Kuroh and his two brothers would rush over to save you. At that time, I would still be able to kill Kuroh and his two brothers. However, the deal that I want to make with you right now, I can give you some benefits." The Peng Demon Emperor's voice seemed to contain a trace of a smile.
"Benefits?" Bai Xin's heart moved. She raised her head and looked to the Peng Demon Emperor.
Currently, her life and death was in the hands of the Peng Demon Emperor. Did she possess the qualifications to make a deal?
"As long as you become my Spiritual Beast, I can promise you that … I will definitely not kill Kuroh and Bai Ling. What do you think?" The Peng Demon Emperor's voice contained temptation.
Bai Xin was shocked.
Become the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast? In order to save her younger sister and Little Yu?
Bai Xin raised her head. Her clear gaze looked to the Peng Demon Emperor. Even though she squinted her eyes, she was still unable to see the Peng Demon Emperor's appearance. "Peng Demon Emperor, did you think that a little girl like me would be that easy to deceive? Didn't you spend that much effort to kill Little Yu? How come now, you're saying that you won't kill him? I have yet to believe that becoming your Spiritual Beast would bring you any great benefits. "
"No, I'm only saying that I won't kill Kuroh and Bai Ling. The eldest of Kuroh's two brothers, Qin Yu, is someone that I must kill. My true target is him … As for the reason why I've been chasing after Kuroh the entire time, it's also because of Qin Yu." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.
At this moment, Bai Xin suddenly realized.
Her Bai family, including Kuroh, had always been puzzled as to why the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill Kuroh. After all, Kuroh and the Peng Demon Emperor did not have any grievances or hatred. Only now did she realize that the reason why the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill Kuroh was actually because of Kuroh's big brother, Qin Yu.
"Bai Xin, do you agree?" Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.
Bai Xin was pondering.
The Peng Demon Emperor continued. "Even if you don't agree, you'll still be bound on the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain and be unable to save Qin Yu and them. However, if you were to become my Spiritual Beast, you'd instead be able to save Kuroh and Bai Ling. I'd also be able to kill Qin Yu. Isn't this the best of both worlds? Could it be … that you're afraid of becoming my Spiritual Beast and being killed by me? "
"Death, how could I possibly be afraid of death?"
Bai Xin raised her head and looked to the Peng Demon Emperor in the main hall. "Peng Demon Emperor, I agree to become your Spiritual Beast. However, you must personally swear that you will not kill Kuroh and Bai Ling."
Bai Xin had thought it through. Even if she didn't agree, she would not be of much use. If she were to agree … then she would instead be able to save Kuroh and Bai Ling's lives. Although she did not understand why the Peng Demon Emperor wanted her to become his Spiritual Beast, but Bai Xin did not even care about her soul being destroyed, what else could she care about?
As for the so-called true target that the Peng Demon Emperor wanted to kill … Kuroh's big brother, Qin Yu … Bai Xin merely felt a bit of guilt in her heart.
"Good, I agree to your request."
The Peng Demon Emperor agreed straightforwardly.
"I, Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, hereby swear that as long as Bai Xin becomes my Spiritual Beast, I, Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, would definitely not kill Kuroh and Bai Ling! If I were to violate this oath, then my soul shall be destroyed! "The Peng Demon Emperor's voice was very firm. Hearing each and every word, a smile appeared on Bai Xin's face.
"Come." Bai Xin lowered her guard and closed her eyes.
A Spiritual Beast Collar flew out from the Peng Demon Emperor's hand and enveloped Bai Xin's head. It then entered her brain and fused with Bai Xin's soul.
The transaction between Bai Xin and the Peng Demon Emperor was a success.
Bai Xin was brought out. Only Ao Ku and the Peng Demon Emperor remained in the main hall. Ao Ku looked to the Peng Demon Emperor in confusion. He asked respectfully. "Your Majesty, wasn't your true purpose to kill Kuroh? That Qin Yu shouldn't have any relationship with Your Majesty, right? "
"I merely deceived that Bai Xin." Said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.
"Then the oath that Your Majesty made earlier …" Ao Ku looked to the Peng Demon Emperor.
The Peng Demon Emperor turned around and left the main hall. An indifferent voice sounded in the main hall. "I merely swore that I would not kill Kuroh and Bai Ling. Could it be that even if I don't kill them, you all cannot kill them?"
Ao Ku suddenly realized.
… …
Bai Xin was in a hazy and muddle-headed state.
"Die, when would I be able to die?" Bai Xin wished for death in her heart. "If only I could see Little Yu again before I die."
Back then, when Kuroh had just entered the Bai Clan, Bai Xin and Bai Ling had both fallen in love with this younger generation, Kuroh. Especially after Kuroh had displayed his astonishing talent and his power had increased at an astonishing speed. The two of them were both deeply in love with Xiao Hei.
Merely, when Bai Xin saw that Bai Ling and Kuroh were together, she hid her thoughts in the deepest part of her heart and never spoke about it again.
"Big sis Bai Xin!"
A faintly discernible voice suddenly sounded in Bai Xin's mind. That voice was so familiar. Back in the Bai Clan, she had heard this voice countless times.
"Am I dreaming?" A bitter smile appeared on Bai Xin's face.
"Big sis Bai Xin, it's me. Little Yu, I've come to save you." The voice once again sounded in Bai Xin's mind. Bai Xin was abruptly woken up. Her eyes shined as she looked forward. Before her was a very ordinary imperial guard. Merely, that imperial guard's eyes were so familiar.
"Xiao Hei, is that you?" Bai Xin grew excited. She wanted to send a voice transmission. However, her soul was restricted and she was unable to send a voice transmission. Even if she wanted to speak, she could only use her voice to speak.
Qin Yu who stood to the side noticed this scene and lightly smiled. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission. "Xiao Hei, don't say anymore. The situation might change if we delay. Immediately go and save her." Qin Yu rejoiced in his heart. Up until now, he had yet to discover that Xiao Hei had used his Demon Awareness to investigate.
"Got it, big brother." At this moment, Kuroh was very happy.
"Big sis Bai Xin, my big brother and I have come to save you. Please wait a moment." After Kuroh finished saying that, he glanced at Qin Yu. The two of them were about to attack and kill the other three imperial guards in an instant.
When Bai Xin and Kuroh first said those words, Bai Xin was very excited and had yet to realize that she was in danger.
However, at this moment, she woke up with a start.
"Huuu!"
With a gust of wind, Qin Yu's left and right hands were like sharp blades as they pierced into the abdomens of the two imperial guards. He directly crushed their Yuanying. As for Kuroh, he also displayed an astonishing speed and killed the other imperial guard with a single move.
With her martial power restricted and her soul restricted, the current Bai Xin could only use her voice to speak.
"Little Yu …" A hoarse voice sounded.
After not eating or drinking for so long, although Bai Xin did not die, her throat had already dried up. Merely, at this moment, Bai Xin was trying her best to speak. Her dry throat was emitting a hoarse voice.
Qin Yu and Kuroh both looked toward the direction where the voice was coming from.
"Leave quickly, leave quickly!" Bai Xin said those words with all her might.
"Rest assured." Kuroh's body was like lightning. With a single hand, he cut off the rope that bound Bai Xin. Kuroh looked to Bai Xin excitedly. "Big sis Bai Xin, you will never have to suffer again. I guarantee that!"
Bai Xin had an anxious expression on her face. "Peng Demon Emperor, he's … coming." She was thinking with a hoarse voice.
While others might not know, Bai Xin herself knew very well that she had become the Peng Demon Emperor's Spiritual Beast. It was likely that the Peng Demon Emperor knew everything that she was thinking in her heart. Earlier, when Kuroh sent a voice transmission to her, it was likely that the Peng Demon Emperor already knew about it.
"It's alright, they still haven't discovered us." Kuroh said via voice transmission. "Big sis Bai Xin, don't make any noise."
"Let's go." Qin Yu took a glance at Kuroh. "Quickly!"
Qin Yu and Bai Xin were like lightning. They were about to leave through the familiar safe path. However … in an instant, the stars moved. The entire Profound Golden Illusion Array started to spin rapidly. The entire illusion array was changing unceasingly.
"Kuroh, this time around, you're definitely going to die."
Several figures appeared in the air. They coldly looked at Qin Yu and Kuroh. The person leading them was the Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan.
