The Black Bear Demon, taking advantage of the moment when the Wind Breath and Turtle Diagram were trapped, pulled out a white commanding banner and tossed it to Nie Caizhu.

“This is the Taiji Banner, which can manipulate the Liangyi Micro-dust Array here to protect yourself.” The voice of the Black Bear Demon resounded in Nie Caizhu's ears.

Nie Caizhu was about to express her gratitude when the Black Bear Demon had already transformed into a streak of black light and leaped out, plunging into the black thunder sea, from where thunderous collision sounds were transmitted.

The withered old man circumvented the sea of thunder and flew towards Shen Luo and the other two.

This person was also at Great Mahayana Stage; despite appearing frail and old on the surface, he was extremely fast, reaching not far from the three in the blink of an eye.

Before his figure arrived, he raised his hand and waved it.

A swathe of black fog shot out from within his sleeve, enveloping Shen Luo and the others like a sky-filling blanket.

Shen Luo's eyes flickered with green light, clearly seeing that the black fog was composed of countless tiny black insects, very similar to the Gu insects forced out of Nie Caizhu's body.

“The black fog is full of Gu insects, don't let them touch you at all costs!” He leaped backward, flipping his hand to take out the Five-Fire Fan, ready to swipe it out.

From dealing with these Gu insects before, he realized that they seemed to be quite afraid of fire.

But before Shen Luo could make his move, the surrounding White Fog suddenly began to boil tumultuously, with countless new streams of white fog rising from the void. In the blink of an eye, everything was submerged.

Shen Luo's vision turned white, and all around him became white, visible only to a distance of two or three feet. He could no longer see Nie Caizhu and Bai Xiaotian beside him, and their voices were cut off by the White Fog.

“Cousin! Brother Bai!” He retreated and called out, but received no response.

“What's going on?” Shen Luo activated his Ghost Eye of the Netherworld, looking around.

Somehow, the power of the prohibition in the surrounding White Fog had increased by more than tenfold. He used to be able to just barely make out some traces, but now he couldn't grasp any signs of the illusion array.

Feeling a sinking sensation in his heart, he hurriedly waved his hand to summon the Purple Great Bead and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo to protect himself.

After doing all this, Shen Luo flew toward the direction he remembered Nie Caizhu and Bai Xiaotian being, but they were no longer there. He didn't know if they had flown away or if an accident had occurred.

Anxious in his heart, but with several powerful demons in the vicinity, he was eager yet dared not wander around carelessly.

Shen Luo pondered for a moment, landed on the ground, put away the Purple Great Bead and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, took out an Escape Earth Talisman, and stuck it on himself, activating it with his mana.

A burst of yellow light erupted from the talisman, and he directly burrowed underground, heading in one direction.

Although the Liangyi Microdust Illusion Array was powerful and there was no white fog underground, divine sense still couldn't spread out. Shen Luo could only stay close to the surface, using his Ghost Eye of the Netherworld to spy on the conditions above ground.

After moving forward for a few moments, a pair of blurry feet came into Shen Luo's field of vision.

Despite being indistinct, he recognized them as belonging to the withered old man.

A cold light flashed in Shen Luo's eyes. He silently operated the Mysterious Heaven Fire Control Technique, his hands quickly forming seals like a flurry of flames.

Two threads of scarlet fire shot out from his sleeves. They were the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, rapidly piercing through the soil and entering the feet.

Having done this, Shen Luo immediately moved from his position, quickly flying to the side.

The withered old man felt pain in his feet. Two strands of searing flame entered his body from the soles, rapidly climbing upward, like two vicious snakes tunneling through his insides.

Wherever the flames passed, his legs swiftly became numb.

“`

The withered old man was greatly alarmed, his profound mana from the Great Mahayana Stage pouring out in its entirety, channeling into his legs in an attempt to stop the upward movement of the two strands of Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

At the same time, a thick Yellow Light shot out from a ring on his right hand, transforming into a yellow light halo in the sky.

Inside the halo, fleeting glimpses of light revealed the phantom of a mountain peak, with perilous terrain and bizarrely shaped rocks. It flashed and then plunged into the ground, leaving only a small portion of its peak exposed.

“Quick!” the withered old man bellowed.

The Yellow Light on the mountain phantom flickered continuously, rapidly expanding more than tenfold, then fiercely plummeted downward.

The ground within a few miles trembled violently, unleashing a thunderous boom, and following the mountain phantom, it suddenly sank three feet.

This ring, known as the Five Mountains God Ring, could summon the phantom of mountains and control the earthly elemental energy, making it especially adept at dealing with enemies underground.

After the strike, the withered old man did not continue to attack. He leaped into the air and shot back several hundred feet, hovering in midair, his face alternating between shades of gloom and clarity.

Then, lifting his left hand, he viciously slapped his chest with a single palm.

A flash of red light shone from the area of his heart as countless crimson Gu insects gushed forth ceaselessly, quickly reaching his legs and swarming towards the two strands of strange fire, seemingly trying to devour the flames within.

However, upon contact with the two strands of fire, these crimson Gu insects immediately perished, utterly ineffectual.

Cold sweat drenched the old man's forehead in an instant, as he was about to use another one of his godly powers.

Just at this moment, a piercing screech tore through the air, as countless Blue water blades shot out from the White Fog to the right, raining down like a squall onto the old man.

The withered old man's heart tightened, as he hadn't anticipated that, having already taken flight to escape the Illusion Array, the enemy could still pinpoint his location with such accuracy.

Without hesitation, his figure flashed to the side, while he raised one hand and threw out a pot-lid-shaped earthen yellow magical treasure. It instantly grew to the size of several meters and positioned itself in front of him.

Suddenly, a large expanse of Blue Light blossomed on the pot-lid magical treasure, emitting a series of explosive sounds.

The Blue water blades were surprisingly powerful, and most of the withered old man's mana was focused on suppressing the strange fire in his legs, causing the pot-lid magical treasure to shake incessantly and be repeatedly pushed backward.

Within the White Fog, about a dozen feet behind the withered old man, Shen Luo stood in the void, with the SeSuppressing Bead suspended above his head, and two White Flags in front of him–the Taiji Banners of the Cloud Array.

The Vampire and the Ghost General stood on his left and right, forming a trinity. The two also each held two formation flags, channeling their strength through the Cloud Array into Shen Luo. Both had profound cultivation levels, especially the Ghost General, who had reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Before long, an extraordinarily powerful force surged around Shen Luo, astonishingly reaching the level of the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

With his left hand forming a seal to control water and his right hand retrieving the Five-Fire Fan, he violently fanned forward.

Amid a clear phoenix cry, a Fire Phoenix the size of a house shot out, tearing through the White Fog with a long trailing flame, flying forward and disappearing into the void in a flash.

The next moment, within the White Fog behind the withered old man, a flash of red light appeared, and the Fire Phoenix emerged, ferociously pouncing on the old man's back.

The old man, only then noticing the existence of the Fire Phoenix, waved both hands rapidly as his face underwent a drastic change.

The pot-lid magical treasure in front of him flew backward, creating a trail of afterimages before swiftly positioning itself behind him, just in time to block the approaching bird.

A loud “boom” echoed as a sea of red flames, emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure, emerged. A tide of extremely hot enormous flames surged forward, battering the pot-lid magical treasure!

The withered old man, along with the treasure, was sent flying backward, the earthen yellow light on the pot-lid trembling violently. A sharp “crack” resounded–the pot-lid actually showed several fractures on its surface.
