Chapter 846 - 447: The Fall of Tianyan
Half a month later, Purple Cloud City.
The Tianyan Divine Monarch appeared inside the Celestial Secret Tower in Purple Cloud City, while in a tavern a few feet away, the Bu Mie Demon Lord met with a handsome Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
"Charm Owl, what method did you use to persuade that guy out?" Bu Mie Demon Lord asked, somewhat curious as he looked at Charm Owl who had swiftly completed the task of luring the enemy.
"Reporting to Demon Lord, that guy is quite obsessed with arrays and seems particularly interested in the Sect Protection Array of the Seven Profound Sect. After learning of this, I deliberately released rumors that traces of an array similar to the Sect Protection Array were discovered in Purple Cloud City. He took the bait and, upon hearing the news, immediately set off for the Celestial Secret Tower." Charm Owl respectfully replied, a hint of smugness on his face.
Bu Mie Demon Lord nodded, a trace of approval flashing in his eyes: "Well done, this time we will ensure he never returns!"
A flash of murderous intent appeared in Bu Mie Demon Lord’s eyes, holding a grudge over being lured into an ambush at Five Finger Peak by Tianyan Divine Monarch last time, where he nearly fell.
"Demon Lord, Purple Cloud City is the domain of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. If we act here, it might attract the attention of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect?" Charm Owl hesitated for a moment, asking cautiously.
"I am aware, we will act once he leaves!" replied Bu Mie Demon Lord in a deep voice, his eyes flickering with a cold gleam, as if he had already envisioned Tianyan Divine Monarch’s demise in his mind.
"Once he leaves Purple Cloud City, I will personally take action to ensure nothing goes wrong." Bu Mie Demon Lord coldly glanced at Charm Owl.
Charm Owl’s heart trembled, not daring to question further, and could only respond respectfully: "Yes, Demon Lord, wise as ever."
The sky over Purple Cloud City gradually darkened, the night quietly descending.
The Tianyan Divine Monarch finally emerged from the Celestial Secret Tower, using sword control to fly out of Purple Cloud City, unaware of a shadow stealthily following him.
Shortly thereafter, the Tianyan Divine Monarch paused, seemingly sensing something, and turned to look at a certain spot behind him: "Fellow Daoist, what business do you have following me?"
The Bu Mie Demon Lord emerged slowly from the darkness, a cruel smile on his face, calling out: "Fellow Daoist Tianyan, it’s been a long time!"
"You, you? Senior, did you mistake me for someone else?" The Tianyan Divine Monarch looked in horror at the Integration Realm powerhouse exuding intense murderous intent, confusedly asking.
"Hahaha, how could I mistake you! Last time you lured me into Five Finger Peak, nearly costing me my life, today, it’s time to settle this score." Bu Mie Demon Lord laughed wildly,
The Tianyan Divine Monarch’s heart jolted upon hearing this, his pupils constricting, staring in shock at the unknown Integration Realm powerhouse before him, sensing the demon qi on him, trembling in fear: "You... you... you are the Bu Mie Demon Lord? You are actually still alive!"
His complexion instantly turned deathly pale, as if enveloped by an invisible fear, knowing today’s matter would not be easily resolved, his mind racing, attempting to find a way out. However, Bu Mie Demon Lord’s gaze, sharp as a blade, seemed to have locked him firmly, leaving him no escape.
"At this juncture, you still wish to flee? Hmph, don’t waste your effort, I have questions for you, where is that brat Li Mu?" Bu Mie Demon Lord stared fixedly at the Tianyan Divine Monarch, his eyes filled with killing intent, as if he were trying to swallow the Tianyan Divine Monarch’s divine soul whole.
The Tianyan Divine Monarch’s expression changed, not expecting the Bu Mie Demon Lord to come for Li Mu, though frightened, he forcibly calmed himself, shaking his head: "I... I don’t know where he has gone. I advise you to leave quickly, for if you act, it will surely attract the attention of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, and by then it will be tough for you to retreat unscathed."
Bu Mie Demon Lord’s eyes flashed with cold, laughing dismissively, his voice full of disdain: "Is it difficult to capture you? Today I dared to act, naturally having foolproof preparations."
While speaking, a black token appeared in Bu Mie Demon Lord’s hand, engraved with complex runes, emitting a strange aura. With a gentle wave, the token transformed into a black light, spreading around.
The Tianyan Divine Monarch was taken aback upon seeing this, immediately realizing this token was extraordinary. Hastily circulating mana, he tried to stop the black light’s spread but found his mana swallowed by the light, unable to resist at all.
"This is... a Demon Forbidden Artifact!" The Tianyan Divine Monarch’s face changed drastically, finally understanding why Bu Mie Demon Lord dared to act here. This Demon Forbidden Artifact could obscure the surrounding senses, ensuring their battle wouldn’t be detected by the outside world.
Bu Mie Demon Lord, seeing this, showed a smug expression: "You’re indeed knowledgeable. I spent years refining this Demon Forbidden Artifact. Today, I shall let you witness its power!"
Saying this, Bu Mie Demon Lord’s figure flashed, turning into a shadow, swooping towards the Tianyan Divine Monarch.
The Tianyan Divine Monarch responded extremely swiftly, summoning a Tier Six Spirit Sword attempting to resist. However, he was two great realms apart from Bu Mie Demon Lord, even though the sword’s might was extraordinary, it seemed ineffective in front of the Bu Mie Demon Lord. The shadow moved ghost-like, piercing through the sword qi, instantly appearing before the Tianyan Divine Monarch.
The Tianyan Divine Monarch’s heart trembled, knowing his cultivation was far behind Bu Mie Demon Lord, at this moment, he could only win with intelligence. He muttered quickly, as a series of array tokens appeared, forming a protective array to resist the attack of Bu Mie Demon Lord.
Bu Mie Demon Lord seemed to have long anticipated his intention, directly ignoring it, one claw aimed straight at the Tianyan Divine Monarch’s throat.
"Boom!" A loud crash, the protective array instantly shattered, array tokens scattered like fireworks.
