Chapter 98

"Kao Yu is amazing!"

"What kind of demon is sealed inside this guy's body?"

"Heavens, even the Soul Devourer Beast is afraid of that thing? What secret is Kao Yu hiding?"

"Thanks to Kao Yu, he turned the tide!"

Outside the valley, the young women of the Water Moon Sect and the members of the Crimson Flame Society all looked at the demonic shadow floating above Kao Yu's head in fear, sitting on the ground with their teeth chattering, discussing it.

Ban Hong and the surviving war generals of the Senluo Hall also looked at Kao Yu with extreme surprise, and even Liang Zhong let out a sigh of relief, nodding at Kao Yu with an approving look.

At this moment, Kao Yu was undoubtedly the focus of everyone, and everyone regarded him as the key figure.

In their eyes, it was Kao Yu's presence that suppressed the Soul Devourer Beast, which could have pounced down and killed Xie Jingxuan, Ban Hong, Qin Lie, and others, making it dare not act rashly.

Even Liang Zhong felt a hint of gratitude towards Kao Yu—he had been pushed to the brink by the Soul Devourer Beast's main body.

Because Kao Yu released the demonic shadow, the Soul Devourer Beast's main body stopped its frenzied attack on him, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

"What about Qin Lie? He seems to be completely useless. Why did the people of the Senluo Hall bring such a guy along?"

"I can't understand it either. I think he's useless and just a burden."

"Right, Mr. Liang had high hopes for him, saying he would summon some heavenly thunder. But nothing happened, it's really laughable, they were all wrong."

"Yes, they were all wrong. The expected Qin Lie didn't play a role, but Kao Yu has such terrifying means hidden!"

"Kao Yu's future is boundless! With such a terrifying evil soul sealed in his body, his future achievements are unimaginable. We need to pay attention to Kao Yu!"

Many people outside the valley kept praising Kao Yu, while mentioning Qin Lie with disdainful expressions.

The young women of the Water Moon Sect, including Nuo, had bright eyes, all focusing their gazes on Kao Yu.

As for Qin Lie, he was completely ignored by them.

"I, I'll go outside the valley first."

However, Kao Yu, who everyone had high hopes for, had a pale face, holding his head and shouting unconsciously, suddenly staggering towards the valley's exit.

The demonic shadow was floating above his head, moving with him.

The other evil soul formed by the Soul Devourer Beast's split soul, upon seeing the demonic shadow move, also avoided it, seemingly afraid of blocking the path of the giant demonic shadow and incurring its wrath.

"Where are you going?"

"Kao Yu!"

"Don't move!"

Seeing Kao Yu walk out, everyone panicked, shouting to stop him, urging him to stay in the valley.

Everyone hoped that Kao Yu's presence would keep the more terrifying demonic shadow within the valley, thereby intimidating the Soul Devourer Beast.

Unfortunately, Kao Yu ignored everyone's shouts, only heeding the direct calls to his soul: get away as soon as possible! Leave Qin Lie! Go outside the valley!

Kao Yu could sense that the sudden emergence of the giant demonic shadow, formed from the memory fragments of the ghost-faced ring, had no ill intentions towards him.

He even faintly perceived that the giant demon's urgent calls were for his own good...

Kao Yu was an extremely self-centered person, and he didn't care about the Senluo Hall's mission or the threat of the Soul Devourer Beast.

In his view, as long as he could live well, no matter how many people the Soul Devourer Beast killed, it had nothing to do with him.

After a brief consideration, he chose to trust his feelings, ignoring everyone's shouts and urgent calls, and firmly walked out of the valley.

As soon as he left the valley, the terrifying demonic shadow floating above his head suddenly shrank into his body, instantly disappearing.

The direct calls to his soul also suddenly stopped, and he could no longer sense the giant demon's presence or trace.

It seemed that the giant demon's appearance as a shadow had consumed too much energy, and it had to retreat and go into hiding again.

"Snap!"

The jade in Xie Jingxuan's hand suddenly shattered, and the drop of crimson phoenix blood also disappeared.

She opened her eyes.

"Just a little more! Just a little more!"

Xie Jingxuan's eyes were dejected. She gritted her teeth and let out a low cry, suddenly standing up.

Inside the valley, the flames in the ravines burned fiercely, and the crimson stone pillars released fiery light, merging with the flames in the ravines.

She almost ignited all the fire sources with the phoenix blood, but at the last moment, the evil soul shattered all the light barriers, and in her panic, she failed to control it, leaving a fraction of the phoenix blood unactivated and the three ravines' sunstones unlit by the phoenix blood.

The Eight Extremes Fire Array would therefore not be able to unleash its full power.

"Sir! Sir!"

"Miss!"

After she woke up, Ban Hong and Liang Zhong both relaxed, looking at her with excitement.

Xie Jingxuan, wearing black-scaled armor and a mask covering her face, shook her head lightly under their gazes, "Just a little more. The Eight Extremes Fire Array can't be fully activated, but I hope the fire's power is enough."

As she spoke, her clear eyes shone with brilliant light.

Rainbow-like light beams flew out from her body, merging into the surrounding stone pillars.

The crimson stone pillars suddenly emitted intense spiritual energy, and the valley's dense natural energy was stimulated, flowing with the fire network, enhancing the flames, making every area with fire burn even more fiercely.

The Soul Devourer Beast's main body and the evil soul struggled together, seemingly sensing a specialized refining fire that instantly sealed the entire valley.

"Uncle Zhong, lead the people out of the valley!" Xie Jingxuan said coldly.

"Understood." Liang Zhong quickly acted.

Xie Jingxuan's body trembled slightly, as if the previous exertion was too intense, and she hadn't adjusted yet, but she quickly regained her composure, picking up two Senluo Hall war generals and quickly flying out of the valley.

At this moment, the valley was engulfed in raging flames, with every corner burning fiercely. The intense fireballs formed a barrier, sealing the sky, making it unbearable for anyone to endure the heat.

The Soul Devourer Beast's main body and split souls howled madly in the intense flames, gradually moving closer to each other.

Xie Jingxuan and Liang Zhong quickly moved, picking up the Senluo Hall war generals, whether dead or exhausted, and transporting them out of the valley.

"Qin Lie! Qin Lie! Take him!" Tu Ze shouted.

He noticed that Xie Jingxuan and Liang Zhong first rescued the people of the Senluo Hall, even the dead ones.

Qin Lie, however, was still sitting there, trembling as if trapped in a nightmare, not immediately noticed or taken away by them.

The flames in the valley grew even more fierce, as if the entire valley was burning, with the heat rising to the sky, making it unbearable for Tu Ze and others outside the valley, forcing them to retreat.

Tu Ze, Zhuo Qian, Kang Zhi, and others were all concerned about Qin Lie, shouting from outside the valley, fearing that Xie Jingxuan and Liang Zhong would forget about Qin Lie or not have enough time to take him away, causing Qin Lie to be burned to ashes.

"Shut up!"

Liang Zhong scolded, finally grabbing Qin Lie and a dead body of the Senluo Hall, and together with Xie Jingxuan, they rushed out of the valley along a unique path.

After they came out of the valley, the valley was filled with continuous fire explosions, with many fire stone pillars exploding, making the power of the Eight Extremes Fire Array even more terrifying.

"Kao Yu! What's wrong with you?" After Qin Lie was brought out, Tu Ze sighed in relief, then glared at Kao Yu. "If you had stayed in the valley a little longer, they could have reduced the pressure. What are you doing?"

"Kao Yu, why did you suddenly leave the valley?" Liang Zhong also asked.

Ban Hong, who was lying on the ground, and the Senluo Hall war generals, as well as the people of the Water Moon Sect and the Crimson Flame Society, even Xie Jingxuan, all looked at Kao Yu with reproachful eyes.

Under everyone's attention, Kao Yu's eyes were dark, his face stiff, and he suddenly walked in another direction.

He followed the instructions of the demonic shadow, trying to stay as far away from Qin Lie as possible, so after Qin Lie left the valley, he chose to avoid him again, moving away from the direction Qin Lie was in.

He didn't know what Qin Lie had on him or what would happen, but he knew it would be detrimental to him, so he walked away.

He ignored all the questions and doubts from others.

"This guy is really strange, what's wrong with him?"

"It's like we have poison on us, what's he avoiding?"

"He has a demon sealed in his body, so his temper... is indeed very strange. It's better to keep a distance."

Everyone muttered to themselves, looking at Kao Yu with strange eyes, but they were also a bit wary, and no one dared to do anything to Kao Yu.

Even Liang Zhong and others from the Senluo Hall were a bit wary of Kao Yu, afraid of provoking the demon and causing endless trouble.

"That's a remnant of a demon god." Xie Jingxuan's eyes were fixed on Kao Yu. "The spirit technique he practices and the ring on his hand are both extraordinary. Fortunately, it's just a remnant of a demon god. Fortunately, his realm is too low to make the demon god truly come out, otherwise..."

She didn't continue, but Liang Zhong and the Senluo Hall war generals showed fear in their eyes.

"Remnant of a demon god? What is that?" Xiong Ba scratched his head, looking puzzled. "I've never heard of it, but it seems very powerful, even the Soul Devourer Beast is afraid."

"Zhuo Qian, do you know?" Tu Ze saw her face change and couldn't help but ask.

"Not very clear, let's see how Qin Lie is first." Zhuo Qian's expression was unnatural, as if she had heard of the remnant of a demon god, but she didn't explain further, instead squatting down next to Qin Lie and calling softly, "Qin Lie, how are you? Can you hear me? Qin Lie..."

She called out repeatedly, but unfortunately, Qin Lie showed no response, as if he couldn't hear her.

Tu Ze and others were also anxious, gathering around Qin Lie and calling out softly, trying to wake him up.

"Miss, can the Eight Extremes Fire Array... completely kill the Soul Devourer Beast?" Liang Zhong's face returned to normal, looking at the valley where fire explosions were happening, worriedly asked.

"Five brothers died. If we can't kill the Soul Devourer Beast, their deaths will be in vain." Ban Hong sighed.

"I don't know." Xie Jingxuan shook her head lightly. "It should have been able to kill it, but because we can't release the full power of the array now, it might not work."

Hearing this, everyone became uneasy, and their eyes looking at the valley were filled with worry.
