Behind the light screen was a massive mountain gate, which should be the entrance to Kunwu Hall.
Li Feiyu opened his Spirit Eyes and looked around, then suddenly chuckled, "It's really lively, isn't it?"
He flicked his sleeve, and a five-colored Aura flew out, striking a weak point in the light screen.
The light screen vibrated violently, attracting the attention of Gan Old Devil and the others.
"How dare you!"
"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Han, it's you two."
Both spoke at the same time.
After Li Feiyu and his group passed through the gap in the light screen, Gan Old Devil immediately attacked. Three of the Five Demonic Children suddenly vanished, appearing before them the next moment.
The young man surnamed Xu, Li Feiyu, and Han Li all attacked simultaneously, each dealing with one.
Divine Devilbane Lightning erupted from their hands, and Gan Old Devil let out a strange cry, his figure swaying in fright as he immediately vanished from his spot.
On the young man surnamed Xu's side, he repelled one of the sub-demons with a palm strike.
Afterward, countless golden Sword Qi appeared around Li Feiyu, descending towards a certain stone statue.
Bang, bang, bang!
The stone statue was shattered, and three figures emerged from the dust.
It was the Silver-Winged Yaksha and the other two demons.
Seeing their appearance, the young man surnamed Xu, Gan Old Devil, and the middle-aged Cultivator from the Ye family all changed their expressions.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha's eyes held hatred, but also wariness, not daring to get too close to Li Feiyu and his group.
"Great Cultivators are rarely seen, but now that Kunwu Mountain has opened, they seem to have become worthless."
"Adding the other two paths, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, there are probably more than ten of them here now."
If nothing unexpected happened, Xiang Zhili, that unlucky Deity Transformation Cultivator, was probably still trapped in the Illusionary Heavenly Phenomenon by the Demon Empress.
Li Feiyu smiled slightly, not paying attention to the others, and walked towards the Kunwu Hall mountain gate.
Gan Old Devil and the middle-aged Cultivator from the Ye family were blocked by two bronze giant lions, unable to move forward for a while, while the Silver-Winged Yaksha and the two other demons seemed to have some concerns and dared not make any moves.
Before long, Li Feiyu and his group arrived in front of the mountain gate built of jade.
Aside from two rows of unknown giant trees, there was nothing else here.
Each of these giant trees was twenty to thirty zhang tall, with scorched yellow trunks and leaves.
Seeing Li Feiyu stop, Han Li curiously asked, "What's wrong?"
"If we don't hurry, the people behind us will catch up."
"If I remember correctly, these giant trees are the legendary Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood, which can generate magnetic force. Once one steps into them, they will suffer from Golden Magnetic Heavy Light, be burdened by gravity, and find it difficult to move an inch."
"Any Magic Treasure containing metal Materials will be restrained by these trees and cannot be used."
"Looking at their arrangement, it's likely that upon entering, one will suffer from the superimposed gravity of at least four or five Spirit Woods. Even a Late Stage Great Cultivator with their magical power will find it difficult to move."
After hearing this, Han Li was greatly surprised and couldn't help but examine the giant trees a few more times.
The young man surnamed Xu chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Li, you wouldn't be exaggerating, would you?"
"Let Li go and test it!"
The young man surnamed Xu did not take it seriously, but he secretly raised his magical power.
Just a few zhang into the area, his entire body suddenly bent, like a hunchbacked old man.
Every inch of his skin trembled, and his body emitted sounds of bones cracking, as if all his bones were about to be crushed.
If he hadn't condensed his magical power in advance, he probably would have already collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
His face flushed, and several blue veins protruded on his face, looking somewhat ferocious.
But this only allowed him to straighten his body. After more than ten breaths, he still hadn't taken another step.
"Get out of my way!"
The young man surnamed Xu roared, his magical power surging, and then he instantly retreated a few steps, out of the range covered by the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood.
He let out a long breath, his body still trembling slightly, his face pale.
That feeling was like a huge mountain pressing down on him, an incredibly heavy force that wanted to crush him.
Lin Yinping had an idea, "Since we know its origin, it will be much easier to deal with. We can control non-metallic Magic Treasures to cut down these Spirit Woods, wouldn't that work?"
"Fellow Daoist Lin, that's a good idea, but I disagree."
"Why?"
Han Li also looked over curiously.
"Because I have a use for them, you don't need to worry about it. I quite like these Spirit Woods and will take them all."
"But, that Golden Magnetic Gravity…"
Li Feiyu smiled, "That's only for you. Don't forget, I am also skilled in magnetic force."
"You don't know, do you? Actually, magnetic forces can cancel each other out, you just need to adjust the direction."
Li Feiyu stepped into the range of the Golden Magnetic Gravity, and after a brief adaptation, he adjusted the power of his own geomagnetism to be on par with the Golden Magnetic Gravity.
Han Li watched Li Feiyu walk freely among the trees, a surge of envy rising within him.
Li Feiyu then conjured two five-colored large hands, wrapped them around the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood, and suddenly burst forth with extremely strong magical power, forcibly pulling it out from underground.
Then he formed hand seals, and a Spell landed on the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood, which abruptly shrunk to about a foot in size.
Li Feiyu followed suit, uprooting all the remaining Spirit Woods, storing them in his sleeve, and then transferring them into the Void Garden Pearl.
He had placed geomantic Restrictions on these Spirit Woods to counteract the Golden Magnetic Gravity; otherwise, Xue Yi and the others would be crushed if they got too close.
This Golden Magnetic Gravity was not something Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage could withstand.
If they were Body Cultivators, perhaps they could barely endure it.
"Let's go, the obstacle is gone."
Li Feiyu smiled faintly, and the young man surnamed Xu and Lin Yinping's awe of Li Feiyu deepened.
With so many methods, not provoking him was undoubtedly the most correct choice.
Han Li transmitted via Divine Sense, "Senior Brother Li, those Spirit Woods seem to have something special about them. The Great Light Wheel Demon Subduing Curse is engraved within the trees."
"I know."
"These are to prevent the Silver-Winged Yaksha and the others from entering, but it doesn't matter. With me here, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
Seeing Li Feiyu's reply, Han Li said no more.
He naturally knew that back in the Yin Yang Cave, he hadn't used his full strength against the Silver-Winged Yaksha.
Perhaps he hadn't even used half of it.
Han Li thought for a moment. With the few of them working together, even if Gan Old Devil and his group fully cooperated, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
"I was wondering how to get my hands on the method to unseal the Soul Sealing Curse. Since Gan Old Devil appeared here, I absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."
Even if he was alone, he believed he had a good chance of winning against Gan Old Devil.
The group stepped into the grand hall, right after entering the door.
Han Li was slightly stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "Arctic Primordial Light!"
It turned out that this main hall was filled with dense, silver light rays, all spewing forth from the stone pillars within the hall.
"Junior Brother Han, it's your turn. Let's hurry."
Han Li nodded, took out the Yin Ring from the Two Poles Ring, and after activating it, the Yin Ring emitted a dark glow.
Li Feiyu automatically walked into the area covered by the dark glow. The young man surnamed Xu and the others looked at each other and did the same.
Han Li led everyone into the main hall.
Lin Yinping looked surprised. The Arctic Primordial Light, which struck fear into the hearts of Cultivators, actually bent when it encountered the dark glow emitted by the Yin Ring.
The group passed through the Arctic Primordial Light safely and quickly.
At this moment, Gan Old Devil and his group had also dealt with the bronze giant lions and rushed over.
Because there were no Golden Magnetic Spirit Woods to block them, their speed was extremely fast.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha was somewhat stunned when he saw the empty scene.
"How… how did they take away the Golden Magnetic Spirit Woods?"
The Lion-Headed Eagle Beast said, "Why bother with so much? It's good that we have no obstacles. They have already broken into the main hall. If we don't hurry, our life tokens will really be taken by them."
The Silver-Winged Yaksha also knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't think too much and arrived at the main hall entrance one step behind Gan Old Devil and his group.
Even when they saw the dense Arctic Primordial Light, they couldn't help but stop.
"Hmph!"
Gan Old Devil thought for a moment, then his body suddenly transformed into a blood shadow and flew into the main hall.
Countless silver threads pierced through the blood shadow, but after the blood shadow erupted with dazzling blood light, it continuously repaired itself.
As for the middle-aged Cultivator surnamed Ye, his methods were not as extensive as Gan Old Devil's. Although he could block it with the Heaven-Covering Bracelet, he was helpless against the Arctic Primordial Light.
Just then, the three demons all exerted their power, each using their Divine Ability, temporarily clearing out an open space.
They didn't bother with the middle-aged Cultivator surnamed Ye, transforming into three streaks of dark light and rushing straight through.
The Cultivator surnamed Ye's face lit up with joy, as he had been worried about not being able to enter.
The latter half of Kunwu Hall was not large, with two rows of wooden chairs arranged, looking like a council chamber.
At the end of the wooden chairs, a green desk was placed in the middle. On the desk were several items, all covered by a light cover.
Li Feiyu used his Spirit Eyes to examine them carefully. Inside the light cover were four wooden tokens stacked together, a small purple sword, a palm-sized demon-subduing staff, a crimson-glowing scroll, and a jade-green imperial seal with a lifelike five-clawed golden Dragon carved on its surface.
"This seal must be the Jade Dragon Seal."
Li Feiyu thought for a moment, then said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Lin, are you two going to contend with Li for these items?"
The young man surnamed Xu's mouth twitched slightly, a flurry of thoughts in his mind.
If we say we want to contend, will you kill us?
"Cooperating with Li is always better than cooperating with others. Your Sacred Beasts all trust me, so you two wouldn't be blinded by greed and turn against us, would you?"
After a pause, Li Feiyu continued, "I'll be frank. This Kunwu Mountain is not a benevolent place. You entering here means you're destined for a near-certain death."
"If you trust me, follow my instructions, and after we get out safely, there will be benefits for you."
The young man surnamed Xu and Lin Yinping exchanged glances, their eyes filled with bitterness.
"Then we shall follow Brother Li's instructions."
Li Feiyu smiled and nodded, "Junior Brother Han, you and they go to block the people coming from outside. I will break through the barrier as quickly as possible and come to help you."
"Understood, Senior Brother Li."
The three of them returned the way they came, preparing to block them in the corridor ahead.
Li Feiyu pondered for a moment, then continuously patted his Spirit Beast Bag, sending out the Gold Devouring Insects and the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion together. After that, he summoned Crimson Crow, giving him a drop of thousand-year longevity liquid to use for a critical burst of power.
The Gold Devouring Insects and the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion both had highly intelligent leaders and could fight independently without Li Feiyu's command.
If there was a real problem, Crimson Crow could also take his place.
Having done all this, Li Feiyu's gaze fixed on the green light cover on the desk.
This barrier was extremely powerful. Without the corresponding token, even if he used his full strength, it would probably take him a third of an hour to break through it.
He summoned his Natal Flying Sword, formed hand seals, and all the inch-long Flying Swords merged together, transforming into a half-foot long Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, floating quietly in his palm.
His eyes flashed with five-colored brilliance, and the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel spun rapidly, cutting towards the barrier.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle ~
Countless sparks shot out, dazzling to the extreme.
Before long, Gan Old Devil, in his blood shadow form, arrived at the corridor. The powerful Aura from the opposite side made him pause, and he divided into five Demonic Children, looking at the other side with a solemn expression.
Even with his notoriously bad temper, he dared not act rashly at this moment.
Soon, the three demons and the Cultivator surnamed Ye also arrived.
The two sides faced each other.
Deep inside, the strong fluctuations from Li Feiyu breaking the Restriction reached them.
"Gentlemen, it seems we have no choice but to temporarily join forces, otherwise, all the treasures will be taken by them," Gan Old Devil said.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha nodded, "Then let's first join forces and rush through, and then we'll each use our own methods to contend for it!"
The middle-aged Cultivator surnamed Ye also did not object.
His Ye family only had a passing acquaintance with Li Feiyu and his group. Now, with benefits at stake, they naturally stood on the opposing side.
Gan Old Devil's Five Demonic Children Clones rushed out first, and he targeted Han Li.
Lin Yinping chose the middle-aged Cultivator surnamed Ye.
The young man surnamed Xu, Crimson Crow, the Gold Devouring Insects, and the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion faced the remaining three demons.
Crimson Crow, seeing the current situation, ordered one or two Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions to help Lin Yinping.
The strength of both sides could be said to be evenly matched.
Han Li mainly used Divine Devilbane Lightning to deal with Gan Old Devil's Five Demonic Children, which greatly annoyed him.
The Five Demonic Children's bodies were almost indestructible, illusory and real, extremely bizarre.
Each of them spewed gray flames, incredibly powerful, capable of blocking the attacks of the Divine Devilbane Lightning.
Lin Yinping had two Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions as helpers, and she also summoned more than a dozen mature Gold Devouring Insects. Relying on their extremely tough bodies, the middle-aged Cultivator surnamed Ye couldn't break through no matter what, and he was in great distress.
His attacks against the mature Spirit Bugs, known for their defense, could only leave faint marks.
The three demons, facing the combined forces of Crimson Crow and the others, were also extremely worried.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha tried to rush through with his Wind Escape, but Crimson Crow was even faster, keeping a close eye on him and giving him no chance.
Crimson Crow's Sun True Fire was much more powerful than Li Feiyu's, and the Silver-Winged Yaksha was restrained everywhere.
Even his ten-thousand-year Corpse Qi was burned by Crimson Crow, emitting black smoke.
The ugly woman Gui Ling, wielding a black staff, attacked with immense force, heavy as a thousand jun, extremely fierce. The Gold Devouring Insects leader had the swarm disperse to harass her.
Although, each time she swung her black staff, the Gold Devouring Insects that were hit almost all burst into blood mist, but the Gold Devouring Insects numbered in the tens of thousands, and under the command of the Gold Devouring Insects leader, losses were minimized.
And they entangled her tightly.
Even her black staff was now pitted and scarred from the successive bites of the Gold Devouring Insects.
This made her heart ache.
The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion dealt with the remaining Lion-Headed Eagle Beast.
The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's venom was astonishing. The Lion-Headed Eagle Beast, due to carelessness, had a large area of its body corroded, and one of its crimson wings was damaged.
Afterward, he dared not approach too closely, only emitting bursts of sonic screams or lightning.
But the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's carapace defense was astonishing, not inferior to the mature Gold Devouring Insects, plus its potent venom. Although the Lion-Headed Eagle Beast's attacks were violent, it couldn't do anything to them in a short period of time.
As for the young man surnamed Xu, he was somewhat superfluous, becoming a brick.
He was moved wherever he was needed.
In short, the goal was to prevent any of them from disturbing Li Feiyu as he broke the Restriction!
