Chapter 223: Crimson Flame Heavenly Demon!
"Lord Soul Envoy, at your request, we have brought ten more people with us."
The man in black robes knelt on one knee and respectfully reported.
The person called the Soul Envoy glanced up, his face hidden in the shadow of his robe, his voice hoarse and unrecognizable, sounding particularly sinister and terrifying: "Throw them all in... huh?"
The Soul Envoy's gaze fell on Qin Yiyao's face, and he immediately narrowed his eyes: "Tsk tsk, how strange, you actually captured a Nascent Soul stage girl."
Qin Yiyao was puzzled.
"Forget it, just throw them all in. Hurry up, this 'Resurrection Blood Array' is already at its final stage."
The Soul Envoy ignored all that; he was already prepared and seemed to be about to take a crucial step.
Upon receiving the order, the man in black robes didn't hesitate. He swung the black chain in his hand and hurled the ten people into the blood pool beneath the floating altar!
"Don't think about it!"
A sharp cry rang out, and a cold glint flashed.
The man in black robes suddenly realized that the black chain in his hand had been cut off for some reason and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
This pitch-black chain is a magical artifact. It usually appears as a whip, but when activated by Taoist power, it can also be used to bind people, and it is very effective and very durable.
But it was suddenly cut off?!
"you!"
The man in black robes was shocked and enraged. He turned to look at Qin Yiyao, who was now holding a sacred-grade sword, her brows sharp and her entire being radiating a chilling aura. Her snow-white dress accentuated her slender and graceful figure. Had she done all of this?
"court death!"
Enraged, the man in black robes unleashed a palm strike directly at Qin Yiyao!
Qin Yiyao's pupils contracted slightly as she swiftly dodged the attack, simultaneously sweeping her sword across with her other hand!
The enhancement bestowed upon her by the sacred weapon was no simple matter. The pressure contained in the weapon's spirit, combined with her own Dao power, created a chilling sword light. The black-robed man was momentarily flustered, but he eventually recovered and raised his hand to disperse the sword energy.
But when he saw that the hem of his robe was already torn, the man in the black robe was once again astonished.
A mere Nascent Soul cultivator.
How could you actually touch him?
He's at the Nascent Soul stage, which is two major realms higher than the Core Formation stage!
Is this girl really that powerful? Or is it...? The man in black robes suddenly looked at the sword in Qin Yiyao's hand. The blade had a concealed cold light, but it made a buzzing sound. This sword was a sacred item!
A Nascent Soul cultivator actually possesses a Saint-grade divine weapon?!
"Heh heh, this is really interesting."
The messenger didn't turn his head; a mocking laugh drifted from under his hood, filled with endless sarcasm.
He continued doing his work on the altar, but Qin Yiyao became extremely nervous as soon as he spoke. Because her trickery and the opponent's underestimation of her had failed, she could not even injure the black-robed man. This purple-robed soul envoy in the Integration stage was even less likely to be dealt with by Qin Yiyao.
She can't handle it on her own, at least not by herself.
"You've got guts, girl. Not bad, not bad."
"Although you possess a sacred-grade sword, and judging from your appearance, you probably have some secret method to unleash your potential, you are ultimately just a Nascent Soul cultivator. On the other hand, we have a significant advantage in both numbers and cultivation." As soon as he finished speaking, the seven or eight black-robed figures in the underground palace, who hadn't made a single move before, stepped forward!
Then, the combined aura pressed down on Qin Yiyao.
It felt as if a mountain of immense weight was pressing down on us!
Her expression changed, and she was forced to kneel on one knee, using the blade of her sword to brace herself against the ground to avoid being crushed to the ground.
The men in black robes were waiting for orders; they could not kill unless the Soul Envoy gave the order.
The Soul Envoy seemed to be waiting for her to struggle.
He slowly walked down the altar and approached Qin Yiyao, seemingly trying to discern something special about her.
"What exactly are you trying to do by bringing these living people together for a blood sacrifice?!"
Qin Yiyao asked through gritted teeth.
"We have come here to revive a part of the soul of the 'Crimson Flame Demon'."
"But if you say that, you're probably a bastard with barely any hair, so you probably don't even know what it means."
The Soul Envoy chuckled, leaned down, and stared into her eyes.
Qin Yiyao met his gaze without flinching, but her eyes widened when she heard "Crimson Flame Demon".
It's this monster?!
She can hardly forget the monster "Crimson Flame Demon".
After all, these were once the pets of the "Crimson Flame Demon Immortal," whose master was infamous, and so were his pets.
The Crimson Flame Demon Immortal was the first villain to instigate the Great War of the Five Realms at the end of the Primordial Era, but after that, he disappeared without a trace, and his fate is unknown.
But the wolfhound he always kept by his side fell into a deep sleep.
Until Qin Yiyao's previous life, when she had achieved great success and the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty occupied half of the Xuan Tian Realm, her pet "Crimson Flame Heavenly Demon" reappeared. Back then, she, the Holy Yao Emperor, along with several other supreme experts whose cultivation was no less than hers, had to expend a great deal of effort to destroy the physical body of the "Crimson Flame Heavenly Demon".
But its soul is stronger than its physical body, and it took hundreds of years and countless methods to erase it.
It is said that the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal placed an indelible mark on his pet, ensuring that his pet's soul could not be destroyed.
The methods of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal are probably only something that a powerful cultivator at the Ascension stage would have a chance to encounter.
Helpless, they had no choice but to completely divide the Crimson Flame Demon's soul into several parts, forcibly put it into a deep sleep, and then place it in five locations in the Xuan Tian Realm to completely seal it away.
Qin Yiyao was also in charge of a part of it.
However, the part of the soul she was responsible for sealing back then should now be buried in the Central Continent of the Xuan Tian Realm.
And this place seems to be in the Eastern Frontier...
Qin Yiyao was completely baffled. Back when she conquered such a vast empire, she never used place names like "Central Plains," "Eastern Frontier," or "Northern Desert."
However, the Sun Flame Dynasty is currently located on the edge of the Eastern Frontier, not far from the Demon Realm. Therefore, the soul seal here is the responsibility of the "Boundless Four Phases Sect," but this sect is just like her Great Qin Dynasty.
It was destroyed long ago.
Perhaps only a few remnants of the original remains remain, buried in some unknown corners.
"Strange, judging from your expression, you seem to know about the existence of the 'Crimson Flame Demon'?"
Seeing the fascinating expression on her face, which didn't seem like confusion or ignorance, the Soul Envoy immediately became interested.
This "Crimson Flame Demon" has existed for countless millennia. The Evil Soul Palace only learned of it by chance when they obtained some ancient books in the Eastern Frontier, thus discovering the existence of such a powerful and wicked demon in the world.
Although the powerful individuals who were able to seal this guy away were quite formidable, they are all dead.
The soul of "Crimson Flame Demon" is still intact.
Moreover, this has become a secret known only to the Evil Soul Hall!
As a long-established evil cultivation force that has committed evil in the past and continues to do so today, the Evil Soul Hall will not let this opportunity pass!
First, they need to unseal some of the Heavenly Demon souls in the Eastern Frontier, then control them, find other souls, and then reunite the five to make the "Crimson Flame Heavenly Demon" return to the mortal world and wreak havoc once again!
Of course, it should be done secretly.
The Evil Soul Palace had only just recovered its strength after thousands of years, but it couldn't withstand being annihilated by extraordinary forces once again.
