"Lady Mofei, this Innate Wood Spirit Body is not to be underestimated," advised a demon lady.

  Tian Mofei then said, "All of this, however, has nothing to do with us. We're just here to watch, let's go."

  The demon ladies then said, "Stupid and idiotic celestial races, no wonder they are being seen as another form of spirit herbs by us, failing even to capture a human girl. If it were us...hehehe…."

  Tian Mofei shook her head and said, “We’re here to watch, don’t provoke them.”

  With that said, the demon ladies around her could only suppress their thoughts and refrain from interfering.

  At the same time, all of the pursuers ended up with nothing as not even one of them managed to locate Qiu Jin'er. Not long later, the help from Xiao Mang Celestial Race arrived, and the Martial Master from the Xia Family gathered everyone together and asked for the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioner to lead the way as they pursued Qiu Jin'er.

  However, the face of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioner darkened, and he said as he stopped suddenly, "The Zhong Yue's scent has been split into fourteen."

  The Xia Family's Martial Master immediately asked, "So which is real and which is fake?"

  "We can't tell..." lamented the Xiao Mang Qi Practitioner.

  Left with no o

  ther options, the pursuers split into fourteen groups and went down each of the fourteen directions. Not long later, they came across some articles of clothing that were soaked in Zhong Yue's blood at the end of the trail, hanging on a tree branch and flapping with the wind.

  They didn't feel particularly frustrated as they only thirteen of the fourteen scent trails had the torn clothing. This could only mean the remaining one was the direction that Qiu Jin'er went down. But shortly after following that particular path to its end, they felt the patience begin to boil over. Qiu Jin'er had pulled the same trick all over again, splitting her scent into fourteen directions!

  Obviously, Qiu Jin'er tore the clothes on Zhong Yue and hung them on her vine men before sending them away in each direction again.

  The furious Martial Master from Xia Family then said to a girl beside him, “Xia Jingyan, go to the next village and use the totem pillars to contact Mister Changkong, request for his help!”

  The girl was shocked, "Mister Changkong? Zhu Changkong from the Zhurong Family?"

  "That's right! He is searching for Zhong Yue on the north side, and as a Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioner, it will take at most a day before he arrives! Senior martial brothers, we shall continue our pursuit. There is only so much clothing she can tear off before she has nothing left to use!"

  Beside Tian Mofei, a demon lady rolled her eyes as she looked at the scene and said, "Disappointing, failing to capture even a little human girl. They are getting played like fools. I can't believe we were all chased out of the continent by them all those years ago!"

  "It was the Celestial Emperor Bi Xie that chased us away, not these fools."

  Another demon lady said with a smirk, "Lady Mofei, let us go and capture this Innate Wood Spirit Body and show these celestial races the demons' capabilities!"

  Tian Mofei, who was extremely wary of Zhong Yue, agreed to the demon lady's suggestion considering that Zhong Yue was now severely injured. She was fearful of him but not Qiu Jin'er, which made her accept the demon lady's idea.

  The demon ladies then snuck away before they flew into the air and Tian Mofei asked, "Does any of you have a way of tracking someone?"

  A demon lady in white clothes then took out a sachet and said, "I have the Wind Fire Ant, an insect race cultivated by Madame that she gifted me. These ants can manipulate wind and fire, granting them incredible speed. After I nurture them to a certain extent, they can act as eyes in the sky for me."

  She opened up the sachet, and a red mist flew out from it. It turned into fiery red clouds and in the clouds were thumb-sized ants shrouded in demon fire. These ants then rapidly grew to three feet long before flying away.

  These Wind Fire Ants were a type of insect race, and these insect races were war machines created by the demons. They specially engineered to fight against the celestial races for the demon race. But after having slowly acquired their own intelligence, they rebelled and created massive troubles for the demons. This resulted in their numbers significantly dwindling after being culled by the demons. However, there were still some insect races that were under the demons' control. Just not as much as before and they cultivated these insects into bewitched insects, which would wipe off their intelligence completely.

  The swarm of Wind Fire Ants swarmed every direction. Moments later, the white clothes demon lady said happily, "I've found her! This little girl actually managed to escape as far as 2000 meters away, I have the ants following her now so let us go catch her quickly!"

  “Two thousand miles?”

  The other demon ladies mocked and said, "These idiotic celestial races chased after her for so long, and when they were so close to her, they managed to let her pull away into the distance again. They are eating her dust, really useless."

  The ladies then dashed forward quickly while the demon lady in white led the way. They summoned one Wind Fire Ant after another back to the sachet as she passed by them.

  Qiu Jin'er, on the other hand, kept on tearing off Zhong Yue's blood-soaked clothes and attaching them to her vine men to make decoys. She was trying her best to stall the celestial races.

  Soon, Zhong Yue's had been almost entirely stripped of the clothing that she was able to tear. She then out her spare clothes, cut Zhong Yue's wrist and soaked her extra clothes in his blood before repeating the procedure.

  This is a good way, but I can't keep using this or senior martial brother Zhong will die from blood loss. What am I supposed to do….

  Qiu Jin'er was greatly troubled as with those heavy injuries, Zhong Yue would die if he continued to lose blood at this rate.

  The skies turned dark as well, and not long after, the moon rose. The surrounding environment became dark, making it easy for one to lose their sense of direction.

  In the dark, I can fly away with senior martial brother Zhong without worrying that I will be spotted.

  Just when she thought of this, she heard someone laughing, and her face immediately changed. When she looked around, she saw around ten demon ladies landing on the trees in front of her. Their clothes swayed with the gentle breeze.

  Qiu Jin'er's face changed again as she looked at the lady at the front of the pack, "Tian Mofei…."

  Her heart tightened as she could sense that these demon ladies each possessed incredible strength. There were even a few of them whose strength was no weaker than hers. She felt hopeless; with this new obstacle, she had no chance of winning at all.

  “So this is Zhong Yue?”

  The demon ladies looked at the unconscious Zhong Yue sitting in the wheelchair, found him to be almost naked, but nothing could be seen as he was covered in the Lingyu Paste.

  "Muscular!" praised a demon lady as she said, "If we captured and presented him to Madame, she will definitely be pleased!"

  Another demon lady added, "Sun Innate Spirit Body, and reverse-opening of the five wheels. He has the potential of becoming a god in the future. He would make an incredibly high-quality spirit herb! I am very curious about his taste now!"

  "This Innate Wood Spirit Body is not bad as well. The young master will be happy if we present her to him as well!"

  Qiu Jin'er inhaled deeply, and she suddenly shouted, causing the trees to grow thicker and taller rapidly. They flew into the air before slamming into the demon ladies and sending them flying away!

  Boom boom——-

  The trees filled with Wood Sword Qi each had exquisite totem carvings etched on their surfaces, and they flew back towards Qiu Jin'er, floating in the air like totem pillars. They protected Qiu Jin'er and Zhong Yue in the middle.

  The girl then reached out her hand towards the ground, and a huge vine emerged from the ground. The vine lifted Zhon
g Yue and herself high into the skies under a leaf, while totem pillars flew out from her secret realms.

  After that, Qiu Jin'er said coldly, "You would have to go through me if you want to hurt my senior martial brother!"

  Chapter 298: Cha Nu Divine Demon |

  The demon girls flew up into the sky with the totem pillars revolving around them. They were nonchalant about Qiu Jin'er's totem pattern array formation and said laughingly, "The humans are indeed livestock in this continent, and also medicinal pellets to the demon race. If it weren't for your great human god who was once an ordinary man that had opened his secret realms in reverse, how will there be the Swords Gate, how could there be human Qi Practitioners like yourself in the world? So, how dare you medicinal pellets defy your masters? You presumptuous humans!"

  Qiu Jin'er was anxious, she had only been ambushing and sneak-attacking the pursuers, but she had never fought directly with them. Now, she was forced to do precisely that; it was natural for her to feel anxious.

  She furtively glanced at the incapacitated Zhong Yue, and she recollected her thoughts, calmed herself down and answered the demon girls in an indifferently, "Leave now or die!"

  “Hmph! How courageous! Go!”

  The demon girls chanted, and the demon girl in white threw her pouch to the sky. The Wind Fire Ants rushed out like billowing smoke toward the totem pattern array formation. She sneered frigidly and said, "Let me show you how I will break your fragile array formation away!"

  On the way over, the Wind Fire Ants had already turned into three-feet-long ants. They rushed into the totem patterns and started gnawing on the totem pillars, devouring them like termites at an incredible rate!

  All of a sudden, the totem pattern array formation changed, and hundreds of giant logs slammed onto one another. Instantly, the air became filled with wood shavings. The wood shavings combined to form many thin wood silks that pierced into the Wind Fire Ants.

  As the Wind Fire Ants were still struggling on the wood silks, the wood silks suddenly expanded and destroyed countless Wing Fire Ants!

  The giant logs disintegrated into wood silks, and the wood silk expanded into giant logs. In an instant, the number of giant logs had multiplied a thousandfold. This extended the area of the array formation's coverage, including the demon girls and Tianmo Consort in it as well!

  Qiu Jin'er yelled, and countless totem pillars flew toward the demon girls!

  While the demon girls also yelled, the demonic soul weapons were cast out. They looked bizarre, different than those of the other races; the demonic soul weapons took the form of the demonic statues. They would grow bigger into jade-like figures as they were cast out. Some had eight arms and four different heads, some had six legs, and some were covered in scales with bone spurs sticking out. But there was one thing they all had in common, and that was the terrifying demonic aura and grotesque appearances they had.

  In the midst of their howlings, the giant logs crushed a few of them while at the same time, the giant logs were burnt away by them.

  Light wheels emerged behind the demon girls, and they swung their sleeves into the array formation, the sleeves morphed into the terrifying, venomous snakes that lashed at Qiu Jin'er!

  Their skills were corroded the totem pillars away as the venomous snakes wrapped around them like constrictors.

  The totem pattern array formation was on the verge of collapsing.

  “【Sword Stashing Art】!”

  Qiu Jin'er made a hand seal, and all of the giant logs exploded away, leaving behind only the pure Sword Qi that was in them. They gathered the Sword Qi together, and she coalesced them into a smooth and perfect sword bolus that shone with a golden luster.

  The Sword Qi were blasted out and kept back in, beheading the venomous snakes formed by the sleeves. While the demonic statues pushed out their hands and slammed over; as the sword bolus has kept the Sword Qi, it expanded and blasted out the Sword Qi again, fighting against the demonic statues!

  However, there were too many demonic statues, and one demon girl controlled each of them. With all of their strength standing together, Qiu Jiin'er was simply outmatched, and her sword bolus of the【Sword Stashing Art】was suppressed. It was unable to blast out anymore Sword Qi!

  “【Sword Burial Art】!”

  Qiu Jin'er yelled, her body quivered, and the sword bolus changed in a trice; many sword styles were emerging in the sky, forming into a forest of stone steles. Their appearance seemed to cause the atmosphere to freeze. The demonic statues quickly struck their skills on the sword steles and finally stopped the attack!

  As the battle continued, the demon girls moved, they launched out their sleeves into venomous snakes and lashed into the forest of sword steles. They curled around the sword steles to suppress the【Sword Burial Art】's power. All of a sudden, the sword steles suddenly dissolved into streams of water, flushing the venomous snakes into bone and cutting the demonic statues flying into the sky.

  It was another skill contained in the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】, the【Sword Flowing Art】!

  The Great Boundless Sword Qi contained various skills that were aligned with the various elements in nature.

  With Qiu Jin'er having the Innate Wood Spirit Body, she was most familiar with the【Sword Seeding Art】and had lesser need for the other sword skills. But now, her limited arsenal seemed to spell her downfall, as the【Sword Seeding Art】alone was insufficient to fight against the demon girls. This was why she had cast out the other sword skills to fight off the demons.

  The demon girls' attacks were getting more ferocious, one of them cast out a gourd into the sky and waves of demonic Qi surged out from it, they converged together and morphed into a demon god. As it took the Qi form with no definite shape, the demon god could not be taken down by any Sword Qi.

  Qiu Jin'er stood steadfast before Zhong Yue, and she didn't even take a single step back as she had sworn her life to protect her senior martial brother. Suddenly, she cast out five swords and formed into five sword boluses, the five sword boluses flitted in the sky, slashing out pillar-like Sword Qi as they danced in the air.

  This was one of the most difficult skills contained in the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】. The sword boluses were round with no sword blades nor hilts, and the Sword Qi could thrust out and attack unexpectedly from any direction.

  These five sword boluses also formed an array formation, the Five Elemental Connections Array Formation. Although the sword boluses were dancing in the air, they were all the same distance from one another. Leveraging the synergy of the five elements and the array formation, it effectively prevented the demon girls from penetrating her defenses.

  The demon girls' onslaught continued for a long time, but they couldn't break through her defense. Suddenly, they stepped forward and stood on the shoulders of the demonic statues, making their way into the array formation while they chanted, "Cha Nu Divine Demon Array Formation!"

  The demonic statues coalesced together into a divine demon god. It was a female demon god that went by the name of Cha Nu Divine Demon. The demon girls were standing on the female divine demon's breast and rammed into the middle of the five sword boluses. The released a salvo of attacks and pushed the five sword boluses away, breaking apart the Five Elemental Connections Array Formation!

  "A little human girl, it's quite astonishing that you can fend us off for so long, even forcing us to resort to an array formation. But now, it's time for you to bid farewell to your life!"

  They controlled the Cha Nu Divine demon and punched over. Thee sword steles in front of Qiu Jin'er were instantly crushed away as if they were nothing more than a few pieces of fragile glasses. Qiu Jin'er quickly raised her hand and took a punch. Her petite body flew back and slammed into the wooden wheelchair along with Zhong Yue. Blood trickled out from her mouth, but she forcibly swallowed it again.

  The give sword boluses flew back, and they lifted her and Zhong Yue up while releasing out the Sword Qi and forming the image of the Swords Gate.


  She waved her sleeve, pushing Zhong Yue and the wooden wheelchair into the Swords Gate while she stood before the gate. She lifted her hand as the shivering Qiu Jin'er watched the approaching female divine demon god.

  "I can't … I'm no match for them…."

  Her pallid face was filled with sadness and sorrow, and she clenched the Golden Peng Sword in her hand. The young girl gritted her teeth and thrust the Golden Peng Sword over as the Cha Nu Divine Demon struck another punch down at them. And suddenly, a voice rang in her ears. It was hoarse and feeble, but it sounded incredibly warm and … familiar….

  “Big….”

  As the magical word was said, the sword feather in her hands shone with a golden light, and it turned into a giant sword that was thousands of feet long. The sword flew over to meet the Cha Nu Divine Demon's fist, splitting her arm into halves.

  The ever-extending Golden Feathery Peng Sword continued thrusting into the Cha Nu Divine Demon's chest. Two of the demon girls couldn't make it in time and were killed right away, and their lifeless bodies fell from the Cha Nu Divine Demon's chest.

  Qiu Jin'er couldn't contain it anymore and spurted out a mouth of blood as the Swords Gate was destroyed, causing her pallid face to turn even paler. However, she was nonchalant about it as her heart became filled with shock and joy. She quickly turned her head back and met the eyes of her awakened senior martial brother, who was now sitting feebly in the wooden wheelchair.

  “Senior martial brother….”

  Zhong Yue forced a smile, his face was even paler than hers, coughing out blood as he spoke, “Junior martial sister, I have troubled you….”

  Qiu Jin’er wiped off the blood that trickled out from her mouth and said sweetly, “Not at all, it’s not troubling at all!”

  All of a sudden, she thought of the days she spent running away from her pursuers. Not a single second went by where she was able to let her guard down. There were times where she didn't have anyone to rely on, and tears would stream down her face before she forced herself.

  The demon girls were shocked and enraged, they controlled the Cha Nu Divine Demon and struck again, one of them shouted, “Our dear demon imperial consort, what are you waiting for?”
