Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Inside Demon Sound Valley, flute sounds echoed continuously, resembling decadent worldly music to Fang Bai’s ears.

Fang Bai knew that this demon sound was akin to the Cuihun song, more formidable than the Evil Qi in the Demon Realm, capable of invading the Sea of Consciousness unnoticed. Any slight carelessness could lead to a loss of sanity and being dragged into the terrifying illusion of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.

The weaker Demon Clan experts on the scene had no choice but to block out the sound to defend against the invasion of the demon sound into their Sea of Consciousness.

However, a strong Emperor Realm presence like Fang Bai’s naturally had an unmatched ability to resist that demon sound compared to other Demon Clan experts.

Golden Crow Demon Emperor, after lingering at the edge of Demon Sound Valley for a moment, seemed impatient and abruptly grabbed a Demon Emperor Realm Peak expert behind him.

Before the Demon Emperor Realm Peak expert could react, he was already caught in the Demon Qi Big Palm of the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

"Upper Immortal, why..."

The Demon Emperor Realm Peak expert was shocked and frightened, about to ask why the Golden Crow Demon Emperor was targeting him, when he saw a weird smile appear at the Demon Emperor’s mouth. Then, he was tossed forward toward Demon Sound Valley.

"Ah..."

The Immortal Emperor Realm Peak expert knew the horrors of Demon Sound Valley; amidst his screams, he struggled violently in mid-air, trying to halt his movement, but it was to no avail.

His form drew a parabolic line in the air, then fell toward Demon Sound Valley.

As his figure was still hundreds of feet from the valley entrance, the flute sound from the valley bottom suddenly became sharp and swift.

A visible sound wave surged from the valley floor, and when the Immortal Emperor Realm Peak expert’s body touched it, he immediately turned into a stone statue, tumbling down at the valley edge and shattered into debris.

Even though countless Demon Clan experts had met the same fate over the years, witnessing the Immortal Emperor Realm Peak expert turn to powder still sent chills down the spines of other Demon Clan experts.

Even Golden Crow Demon Emperor’s expression showed a hint of fear.

Yet he didn’t leave; instead, he repeatedly reached back, grabbing and throwing several Demon Emperor Realm experts into Demon Sound Valley.

"If the treasure emitting flute sounds is indeed a noble artifact, then sooner or later its magical power will be exhausted, and the demon sound will stop. This Golden Crow Demon Emperor intends to use those Demon Emperor Realm experts to deplete the artifact’s magic?"

Fang Bai pondered.

He didn’t care about the life and death of those Demon Emperor Realm experts, but he worried if Golden Crow Demon Emperor went mad, he might grab Lu Liyu and throw her as well.

Thus, Fang Bai secretly gathered power, ready to rescue immediately if he sensed Golden Crow Demon Emperor threatening Lu Liyu.

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen Demon Emperor Realm experts were grabbed by Golden Crow Demon Emperor and thrown out, each without exception turning into stone statues under the impact of the demon sound.

Nonetheless, Fang Bai noticed that Golden Crow Demon Emperor’s method seemed to be working; the demon sound was indeed weakening steadily.

Furthermore, the thrown Demon Emperor Realm experts no longer turned into stone statues the instant they touched the sound wave but delayed significantly.

For instance, the last Demon Emperor Realm expert thrown, when surrounded by the sound wave, first saw his finger turn to stone, then his hand, arm, followed by his toe, foot, calf...finally, his entire body petrified.

Whereas prior Demon Emperor Realm experts turned to stone instantly under the sound wave’s influence, the last one extended over about five breaths.

This discovery moved Fang Bai, and a sinister smile appeared on the face of Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

Despite some Demon Emperor Realm experts worrying about being thrown into Demon Sound Valley, turning into streams of light trying to escape, unless they managed to flee thousands of miles away instantly, escape from the clutches of Golden Crow Demon Emperor was impossible.

Golden Crow Demon Emperor continuously reached out, Demon Qi Big Palms pierced through the air, retrieving dozens of fleeing Demon Emperor Realm experts.

No matter how much those Demon Emperor Realm experts pleaded, their fate of being thrown into Demon Sound Valley and turning into stone statues was inescapable.

By the time the last two Demon Emperor Realm experts were thrown, the impact of demon sound on them had become extremely weak.

The last two Demon Emperor Realm experts thought they were doomed, yet after several breaths, found only their arms had petrified, quickly rolling and crawling away from Demon Sound Valley’s range, soon restoring their arms as before.

This discovery secretly pleased Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

"Let’s go down and see what kind of treasure lies in Demon Sound Valley’s depths!"

Golden Crow Demon Emperor said, flying down into Demon Sound Valley with Lu Liyu.

Demon Sound Valley reaches a thousand feet deep, where even Emperor Realm expert’s Divine Sense is affected by the demon sound and can’t perceive what’s at the bottom, only by reaching there can they discover what keeps emitting the fearsome demon sound.

At the bottom of Demon Sound Valley lay a foot-long black flute on a flat Stone Platform a foot high.

The black flute looked carved from black jade, releasing strange dark light, with swirling Demonic Qi around the flute body.

Even though the flute continued emitting sounds, it no longer affected Golden Crow Demon Emperor and Lu Liyu, who had descended into the valley.

"What a treasure!"

Golden Crow Demon Emperor’s gaze fell on the black flute, his blood-red eyes gleaming with delight.

Previously one of the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm, he traveled across the nine major Heavenly Domains, knowledgeable and discerning.

Now as a Demon Emperor, a top-tier Demon Clan expert, he possesses extensive understanding of everything in the Demon Realm.

Despite never seeing or hearing of the black flute before, he immediately recognized it as a highly powerful Emperor’s Instrument, even among Emperor’s Instruments it’s a supreme piece.

Although Golden Crow Demon Emperor possessed an Emperor’s Instrument, he knew it was far inferior to the black flute before him; obtaining this black flute would be a massive boost.

"My dear disciple, once I acquire this Demon Flute, I’ll gift you my current Emperor’s Instrument!"

Golden Crow Demon Emperor spoke, conjuring a Demon Qi Big Palm, swiftly grabbing the black flute.

Though the black flute was a supreme Emperor’s Instrument with terrifying power, the rounds of demon sound had depleted its magical power significantly, making this the perfect chance to subdue it.

As his Demon Qi Big Palm reached out, a blood-red light carrying majestic Emperor’s Might slashed down.

With a loud "hiss," the Demon Qi Big Palm and the descending blood-red light disappeared simultaneously.

At that moment, Fang Bai’s figure descended from above, landing across from Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

"Who are you?"

On top of Demon Sound Valley, Golden Crow Demon Emperor already noticed Fang Bai’s presence, knowing he was an Emperor Realm expert, causing some vigilance.

Nevertheless, as a top-tier Immortal Emperor, having refined the Heaven Devouring Art, his strength increased substantially, he didn’t regard Fang Bai as a formidable foe.

Once within the depths of Demon Sound Valley, his focus was wholly on the Demon Flute, putting Fang Bai aside.

Yet surprisingly, Fang Bai appeared in Demon Sound Valley’s depths, intervening to stop him from seizing the Demon Flute.
