189: Chapter 189 The Golden Immortal Descends, the Blood Demon Lord's Thousand-Layered Schemes!

300 miles outside Baiyu City.

There was a stretch of continuous abandoned mines.

This place was once the largest immortal essence mine in Baiyu City, but after tens of thousands of years of mining, resources were exhausted, Spiritual Qi was thin, and usually, even Yao Beasts were too lazy to visit.

But today, this land of silence welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!"

Zhao Wujiang, leading 300 of the Zhao family's most elite disciples, rushed into the deepest, massive mine cave as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

His face was flushed, and greed and madness flickered in his eyes.

"Everyone obey the order, immediately activate the Formation according to the predetermined positions!"

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

The 300 Zhao family disciples were well-trained; they immediately dispersed, each occupying a position, holding pitch-black Formation Flags in their hands, chanting incantations.

As they injected immortal essence into the Formation Flags.

Hum!

The entire mine shook violently.

Immediately after, streams of visible red Devilish Qi surged out from the depths of the earth, like billions of twisted poisonous snakes, instantly rushing into the sky!

These Devilish Qi intertwined and converged in mid-air, forming a huge red sky curtain, dyeing the sky within a hundred miles into an eerie dark red.

Countless shrill wails of ghosts and howls of wolves echoed between heaven and earth.

A terrifying Formation emitting endless fierce and evil Qi was formed with a boom!

[Nine Nether Demon Sealing Formation]!

This Formation was one of the vicious Formations in the Heavenly Demon Sect Legacy.

In name, it was for "Demon Sealing," but in reality, it used endless Mortal Soul essence and blood as a guide to draw out the Nine Nether Earthly Fiend Devilish Qi, forming a Domain of absolute extermination.

Once activated, the Formation created its own space; never mind a Heavenly Immortal, even a Golden Immortal in the Early Stage trapped inside, if they could not find the Formation core, would never be able to escape easily!

To set up this Formation, the Zhao family had almost emptied their accumulation of thousands of years, secretly slaughtering dozens of Mortal towns and collecting hundreds of millions of Souls.

It could be said that they had bet their entire family fortune and lives!

Looking at the scene of rising Devilish Qi before him, Zhao Wujiang felt the terrifying power coming from the Formation, his heart filled with heroic spirit.

It was done!

Demon Lord Xuetu really did not lie to me!

Once this Formation was out, let alone that man surnamed Lin being just a Heavenly Immortal, even if he were truly some big figure's Reincarnation, he would have to leave his life here today!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, took out a blood-red communication jade talisman from his bosom, and said respectfully: "Reporting to Demonic Lord, the Nine Nether Demon Sealing Formation is ready, we can invite the guest into the urn at any time!"

The jade talisman flickered, but no reply came back.

Zhao Wujiang was stunned.

What happened?

Didn't Demonic Lord say that as long as the Formation was activated, he would arrive immediately?

Could something have gone wrong?

Just as he was feeling anxious, the space behind him suddenly distorted without warning.

It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake.

Immediately after, a crack was forcibly torn open as if by an invisible giant hand!

A terrifying pressure that could not be described in words surged out from the crack!

It was a domineering power that transcended the Laws of heaven and earth, an absolute arrogance that viewed all things as mere straw dogs!

Facing this pressure, Zhao Wujiang's True Immortal Perfection cultivation, which he was proud of, was as small as a lone boat in a stormy sea.

His Soul was trembling, his Dao Heart was wailing, and his whole person uncontrollably fell to his knees with a thud, unable to even lift his head.

The 300 Zhao family disciples behind him couldn't even groan before they all spat blood and were directly knocked unconscious by this pressure.

Golden Immortal!

This was the might of a Golden Immortal!

A figure slowly walked out of the space crack.

The person wore a wide blood-red robe, his figure was thin and dry, his face was like a skeleton, but his eyes were two bottomless blood-red vortexes; looking at them, it felt as if even the Soul would be sucked in.

He just stood there quietly, and infinite illusions of blood seas were born and destroyed around him, as if he himself was the Incarnation of slaughter and death.

It was exactly the famous Golden Immortal expert of the Heavenly Demon Sect—Demon Lord Xuetu!

Demon Lord Xuetu glanced at Zhao Wujiang, who was kneeling on the ground shivering, his eyes full of disdain and indifference, just like looking at an ant.

He couldn't even be bothered to say a word to Zhao Wujiang.

His gaze greedily swept over the [Nine Nether Demon Sealing Formation] with its towering Devilish Qi, and a satisfied smile appeared on his withered face.

"Not bad, the Formation is set up okay, barely enough to use."

His voice was hoarse and harsh, like two rusty iron plates rubbing against each other.

Hearing the Demonic Lord's "praise," Zhao Wujiang was flattered, and crawled over to kowtow: "Being able to serve Demonic Lord is a blessing I have cultivated for ten thousand lifetimes!"

Demon Lord Xuetu still did not look at him, but cast his gaze outside the mine cave, as if he had already seen the prey that was about to arrive.

In his eyes, greed burned even hotter than the Formation's demonic light.

An Inspector at the Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal?

When did the Nine Heavens Demon Suppression Bureau become so down and out?

However, none of that mattered.

What was important was that the other party likely carried an [Emperor Weapon Embryo]!

This news was what truly made a Golden Immortal expert like him tempted, to the point of personally descending here.

Emperor Weapon!

That was the supreme Divine Artifact that only an Immortal Emperor could wield in legend, each possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Even if it was just an embryo, it was enough to make a Golden Immortal's combat power soar tenfold, and even possess the qualification to peek at the Immortal King Dao!

For this ethereal piece of news, he even sacrificed the secret agents he had planted inside the Immortal Court for many years to confirm the identity of this "Inspector."

The result was nothing.

In the archives of the Nine Heavens Demon Suppression Bureau, there was no such person at all!

This instead confirmed his guess even more!

This person was either the successor of some hidden monster, or he had obtained a tremendous fortuitous encounter!

Regardless of which it was, it meant that the secrets on him were worth him taking action!

As for this [Nine Nether Demon Sealing Formation] set up by Zhao Wujiang...

Heh, in his view, this was not some thousand-layer scheme.

This was an open conspiracy laid out in the open.

He just wanted everyone to know that there was a Golden Immortal-level killing trap here.

If that Inspector surnamed Lin was truly a brainless hothead and rushed in himself, that would be for the best, saving time and effort.

If he was timid and afraid to come in, that was also fine.

As a dignified Golden Immortal who had descended personally, was he afraid that a Heavenly Immortal would run away?

At that time, he would just charge directly into Baiyu City, slaughter the city and destroy the land, and force him out.

No matter how he chose, that brat carrying the heavy treasure was dead!

Demon Lord Xuetu stretched out his withered finger and tapped lightly.

A beam of blood light merged into the Formation.

The Devilish Qi that was still roaring and rolling instantly became docile, all anomalies disappeared, and the Formation hid into the invisible.

From the outside, it had returned to that unremarkable abandoned mine.

But he had already completely controlled the killing power of this Formation.

Now, everything was ready.

Just waiting for that "mobile treasure vault" to walk right into the trap.
