When the ancient voice sounded, gusts of sinister wind seemed to appear out of thin air, blowing over with a whooshing sound. The tens of thousands of tree branches in the surroundings swayed and rustled, making one's hair stand on end.
Feng Shigui and the others' expressions changed as well, becoming incomparably solemn.
An expert!
This was a demonic expert, even stronger than the five around them. An expert that made even Feng Shigui feel pressured.
"Fourth elder, you've come." The five Shadow Demon Sect members all bowed in one direction. The grass and trees parted as a shadow appeared, as light as a feather. It didn't seem to be walking, but rather had left the ground and floated over.
It was also a person shrouded in a long robe. His features couldn't be seen clearly, but judging from his voice, he shouldn't be young.
The aura emanating from this figure was very strong and sinister.
"Eighth level earth spirit realm!" Feng Shigui's expression grew more and more serious.
Under normal circumstances, demonic cultivators were often a bit stronger than righteous cultivators of the same level, because their methods and martial arts were often quite extreme.
Therefore, an eighth level earth spirit realm expert of the Shadow Demon School would be stronger than an ordinary eighth level earth spirit realm expert.
Feng Shigui was now at the initial seventh level of the earth spirit realm. As a genius himself, it was easy for him to challenge those of a higher level. However, it was quite a bit of pressure for him to face off against an eighth level earth spirit realm expert.
"Junior brothers, I'll hold off the fourth elder. You kill the other five as quickly as possible and then come help me." Feng Shigui immediately sent a message to the other six.
"Alright, senior brother Feng." Everyone responded immediately.
His longsword was unsheathed as sword light flashed, tearing through the air as it shot mercilessly towards the fourth elder.
At the same time, Yu Zhengxiao's longsword was unsheathed as the light from the blade flashed through the air, attacking one of the Shadow Demon Sect members.
The other five Skypeak Sect members also made their moves, showing no mercy.
"Stubborn fools!" The fourth elder of the Shadow Demon Sect roared angrily as a sinister aura billowed out like a gale, uprooting all the trees in the surroundings. It was incomparably terrifying.
His hands, which were hidden under the wide sleeves of his black robe, also reached out in an instant. They were withered like ghost claws, and dark Yin Qi surrounded them. They were as sharp as blades, and with incomparable viciousness, they grabbed at Feng Shigui.
Feng Shigui could feel the strength of his opponent as soon as they exchanged blows. He wasn't someone an ordinary eighth level earth spirit realm expert could compare to.
With a sword in his hand, Feng Shigui exerted all of his strength. The sword light was like a rainstorm falling from the sky. Every sword was incomparably sharp. It stabbed crazily, but it was all blocked by the ghost claws of the Fourth Elder of the Shadow Demon School.
Claw shadows filled the sky and attacked from all directions. The Yin Qi was chilling and the baleful aura was shocking. It tore the sky apart like a ghastly purgatory and covered Shigui. The cold baleful aura kept attacking his body.
Feng Shigui felt a chill invade his body, interfering with the circulation of his Spirit Qi. Even his Qi and blood were affected. His skin was slightly numb.
Feng Shigui's expression was solemn as his features were grave. He circulated his Spirit Qi with all of his Spirit Qi, trying his best to defend against the invasion of the Yin Qi. However, the difference in cultivation level still affected his strength slightly. Although it was very slight, it was obvious in a fight between experts.
After shattering the sword light, a claw viciously clawed at Feng Shigui's body. Even though Feng Shigui tried his best to defend, he was still hit and flew backwards. The protective Spirit Qi and inner armor on his body were all torn apart, leaving behind three claw marks.
The claw marks were dark and emitted traces of Yin Qi. They kept invading Feng Shigui's body, causing a faint trace of darkness to appear on his face.
"Die!" The Shadow Demon School's Fourth Elder injured Feng Shigui with his claw and shot out explosively. Like a yin demon emerging from closed door cultivation, his claws were suffused with a dark aura. They were extremely cold as they clawed at Feng Shigui mercilessly. He would tear Feng Shigui's body apart in the next breath.
"Universe Sword!" Feng Shigui forcefully suppressed the Yin Qi within his body and roared out violently. His Spirit Qi exploded forth in an instant as the longsword in front of him flashed with incomparably dazzling light, forming an incomparably sturdy defense.
This move was purely defensive and possessed astonishing defensive capabilities. Even those who were slightly stronger than Feng Shigui would find it difficult to break through it.
The Universe Sword blocked the Shadow Demon School's Elder's killing blow. The sword light shattered and the tyrannical strength sent Feng Shigui flying backwards. His blood and Qi roiled as his organs were impacted. A wave of Yin Qi invaded his body once again, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood that emanated traces of Yin Qi.
"Senior brother Feng!"
Yu Zhengxiao and the others were greatly alarmed when they saw Feng Shigui injured again. Their attacks were also affected as they were repelled by the five Shadow Demon School experts.
These five experts weren't weak. The weakest was at the fourth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, while the strongest was at the sixth level of the Earth Spirit Realm. The strongest amongst Yu Zhengxiao's group was at the sixth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, but there was only one of them. Two of them were at the fifth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, while the other three were at the fourth level.
For example, Yu Zhengxiao was at the fifth level of the earth spirit realm.
Originally, Yu Zhengxiao's cultivation wouldn't have risen so quickly, but the great changes in the Canglan Continent had brought about a great calamity as well as many fortuitous encounters, further stimulating everyone's potential.
Moreover, because of Chen Zong, the fortunes of the Remote Sky Sect had become exceedingly strong. The disciples of the Remote Sky Sect had all received good fortune, increasing their cultivation speed and finding fortuitous encounters more easily.
This was especially evident for the disciples who had decent potential to begin with.
Perhaps Yu Zhengxiao's potential couldn't compare to those geniuses, but he was still one of the top geniuses on the Canglan Continent. His own hard work and the great changes brought about by the demon race had caused his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, allowing him to reach the fifth level of the earth spirit realm today.
Feng Shigui had been injured twice. The Shadow Demon School's fourth elder waved his sharp claws, immediately repelling and injuring Yu Zhengxiao and the others. All seven of the Remote Sky Sect had been injured in an instant, greatly decreasing their strength.
"Spare their lives and bring them back alive." The Shadow Demon School's fourth elder said darkly. Under his black robe, a pair of cold eyes were extremely ruthless. "Make good use of them and let more righteous sects walk right into our trap."
"Kekekeke, fourth elder is right."
"Kill more righteous sects and plunge the Remote Sky Continent into chaos. When the time comes, it will be easier to welcome the arrival of the Ancient Sky Demon Palace."
The Shadow Demon School was actually related to the Ancient Sky Demon Palace. Many years ago, the remnants of the Ancient Sky Demon Palace had left behind some inheritances that had been obtained and established.
The Ancient Sky Demon Palace was the leader of the demonic sects. Therefore, many demonic sects wanted to join them, and the Shadow Demon School was no exception.
"Senior Brother Feng, you go first." Yu Zhengxiao transmitted his voice, preparing to block the Shadow Demon School's experts with the other five to buy time for Feng Shigui.
After all, Feng Shigui's cultivation was the highest, and his strength was the strongest. He had the highest chance of escaping and returning to Grand True City to report the situation.
Feng Shigui made a prompt decision, exploding forth with a slash of his sword.
A majestic sword Qi pierced through the air, attacking the fourth elder of the Shadow Demon School. At the same time, he used his movement technique with all his strength, rapidly retreating.
At this time, he had to leave and bring the news back to the Dao Guardian Tower, allowing others to prepare. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would fall into the same trap as this time.
However, the fourth elder of the Shadow Demon School seemed to have expected it. His claws tore through the air, directly shattering that majestic sword Qi. His figure shot out like an arrow, piercing through the air towards Feng Shigui, blocking his path.
"This elder advises you to obediently surrender. Perhaps you can still live." After blocking Feng Shigui, the fourth elder of the Shadow Demon School said in a sinister tone, his words filled with pressure and threat.
"Whether you can live or not is not up to you to decide."
Very unexpectedly, a voice rang out. It was calm and indifferent, as if the sky was high and the clouds were far away, startling everyone.
"Who?" The fourth elder of the Shadow Demon School raged. Yin Qi was dense, and Yin wind roared. The other five experts of the Shadow Demon School also rapidly looked around, but they didn't discover anything.
"This voice, it seems a bit familiar." Yu Zhengxiao was inwardly surprised, as if he had heard it somewhere before. However, he quickly searched his memories, but couldn't find it.
Feng Shigui and the others were also astonished, but some hope appeared in their hearts.
As long as a Righteous expert came, the situation would be advantageous to them.
A figure descended from the sky, riding on a white cloud.
The white cloud disappeared, and the figure also landed.
"Senior brother Feng, senior brother Yu, long time no see." As soon as the newcomer landed, he smiled at Feng Shigui and Yu Zhengxiao.
"You are?" Feng Shigui and Yu Zhengxiao stared at Chen Zong in astonishment.
Because they found that they didn't know him at all. However, for some reason, they felt that he seemed a little familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before.
Back then, when Chen Zong entered the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, he was already over twenty years old, and his appearance was even more mature than now. Moreover, because he had changed his body, although this body's appearance gradually became closer to his original appearance as time passed, there were still some differences.
Those who weren't familiar with Chen Zong would have a hard time recognizing him. At most, like Yu Zhengxiao, they felt that he was a little familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before, but they couldn't remember.
Shortly after, Yu Zhengxiao's eyes widened as he stared at Chen Zong. His mouth also opened wide, and he pointed at Chen Zong. He wanted to say something, but no matter what, he couldn't because he was too excited.
"I am Chen Zong." Chen Zong smiled.
"You … you …" Yu Zhengxiao was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, his whole body trembling.
"Chen Zong … Third Junior Brother!" Feng Shigui's eyes also widened, his face full of disbelief.
They had also tried to find Chen Zong's whereabouts and used all possible forces, but unfortunately, they couldn't find him. It was as if he had disappeared. For a time, they thought that Chen Zong was already dead.
It wasn't until the Ancient Demonic Palace reappeared and the Demonic Army came again, that the Canglan Continent fell into the Demonic Disaster, that they temporarily stopped searching for Chen Zong.
They didn't expect that Chen Zong was still alive.
"Chen Shidi, leave quickly and go to the Dao Guard Tower in Da Zhen City. Tell the elders what happened here," Junior Brother Feng said immediately.
In Feng Shigui's opinion, although Chen Zong's talent was outstanding, his cultivation time wasn't as long as his. He might not be a match for the Fourth Elder of the Shadow Demon Sect.
Just now, Chen Zong came here by riding on a white cloud, which meant that Chen Zong had a flying treasure. Taking advantage of this opportunity to leave this place, the chances of him escaping were very high.
"Escape? You are dreaming." The Fourth Elder of the Shadow Demon Sect laughed strangely, his killing intent cold.
