Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 784: Chapter 659: Breaking the Demon Array

He paused for a moment, casting a meaningful glance at the two women: "As for this life-saving grace, I will remember it for now. We shall meet again if fate allows."

Having said that, without waiting for the two women to respond, Shen Xuan flicked his sleeve, and his figure dissipated into the air like green smoke, leaving the Liang sisters standing in place with faces full of changing expressions and mixed emotions in their hearts.

...

Deep within the Spirit Stream Secret Realm, at the Red Leaf Cliff.

The terrain here is strategic, a necessary passage to the core area of the Secret Realm.

At this moment, the cliff is shrouded in dense demonic qi, with a faint seductive sound drifting with the wind, captivating souls, being the charm-inducing illusion demon array set up by Ding Chunhua and Niu Dali.

In the array, Niu Dali is waving a thousand soul banner surrounded by black qi, forcibly extracting the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Yue Country, whose eyes are dull and deeply trapped in the illusion realm, into the banner.

The ghostly shadows on the banner and the mournful cries add a few more degrees of chilling atmosphere.

"Phew!"

A gust of black whirlwind swept over, and Ding Chunhua’s figure appeared beside Niu Dali with a somewhat hurried look, her face solemn.

"Old Niu, something bad is happening! The opponent has attacked us!"

Ding Chunhua spoke hurriedly.

Niu Dali nonchalantly put away the thousand soul banner and grinned, completely unconcerned: "Ding Chunhua, why panic? If the sky collapses, I’ll hold it up! Take a breath, speak slowly, who dares come looking for their death?"

"It’s True Master Profound Ice Shen Xuan!"

Ding Chunhua urgently replied.

"True Master Profound Ice Shen Xuan?"

Niu Dali’s bull eyes widened, first with astonishment, then he laughed heartily, pounding his chest: "Ding Chunhua, have you lost your mind from fear? This is Spirit Stream Secret Realm. Golden Core cultivators can’t enter. If forcibly break-in, it will trigger the Secret Realm’s heavenly punishment, striking them with Celestial Thunder from nine heavens till they turn to ash!"

Ding Chunhua gave him an angry glare and gritted her teeth: "You silly bull. We can dissipate our technique and fall a realm to enter, why can’t Shen Xuan do the same?"

"We..."

Niu Dali’s laughter abruptly stopped as he suddenly realized, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes as large as copper bells.

"You mean, Shen Xuan also cut down his cultivation and fell to the Foundation Establishment Realm to blend in?"

"Pretty much!"

Ding Chunhua was too lazy to explain in detail, she spoke urgently: "Stop wasting time! Pack up, we must head to the underground abyss immediately."

Niu Dali’s eyes spun, not just unafraid but showing excitement, waving his big hand: "Go? Why go? My thousand soul banner is just missing a powerful main soul!"

"Shen Xuan’s arrival is perfect. Capture him, refine him into the main soul, the power of my demon banner will certainly rise to another level."

Ding Chunhua looked at him like staring at a fool: "Old Niu, think carefully. By the time Shen Xuan truly arrives, it may be too late to escape."

Niu Dali doesn’t possess her hidden escape Innate Divine Power.

"Escape? I, old Niu, don’t need to escape."

Niu Dali stood tall with pride, his fan-like big hands pounding his chest: "If he’s in the Golden Core Realm, I might fear him somewhat. But now he’s just a young late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, isn’t he just delivered fat meat for me? Just right for me to get some exercise."

Ding Chunhua hesitated a bit.

Niu Dali saw her hesitation and promised in a muffled voice: "Fellow Daoist Ding, rest assured! You don’t need to take action, just provide support from the side. With my inherent divine power and demon body, I can smash him into a pulp."

"Sigh."

Ding Chunhua pretended to sigh helplessly.

"Then be careful. Shen Xuan is now at the late stage of fire technique Foundation Establishment, and he has refined a trace of True Flame of the Sun, which you must not underestimate."

"True Flame of the Sun?"

Niu Dali was first stunned then snorted disdainfully, waving the thousand soul banner.

Instantly, the demonic qi surged on Red Leaf Cliff, and the alluring magical sound intensified.

"I, old Niu, just hope he dares to come!"

Niu Dali’s voice was as loud as a bell, his eyes gleaming with greed: "If I can capture him alive, delivering him to the young master, it’ll be a big achievement. Maybe the young master will be pleased and grant us treasures like the Nascent Soul Pill."

"Nascent Soul Pill."

Upon hearing these words, Ding Chunhua’s delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes exploded with intense brightness, her face immediately adorned with a charmingly alluring smile, her voice sweet like honey.

"Brother Niu is absolutely right. It’s just that Chunhua is too cautious. At that time, Chunhua will certainly lend a helping hand to Brother Niu to capture that person together."

Niu Dali was full of ambition and laughed wildly: "Ha ha ha! In this Secret Realm, bound by the Foundation Establishment cultivation, with my divine power and cultivation, even against a Golden Core True Master I can retreat freely. With Fellow Daoist Ding assisting, how can a mere Shen Xuan be even worth mentioning!"

Yet, he did not notice the fleeting cold and ruthless glint in Ding Chunhua’s eyes beneath that charming smile.

"Hmph, silly bull! If we really capture Shen Xuan, such a massive credit, how should I let you swallow it alone? I want that Nascent Soul Pill too!"

Ding Chunhua coldly sneered in her heart, yet her smile grew even more radiant, even showing a hint of expectancy.

On Red Leaf Cliff, Niu Dali’s wild laugh was still echoing.

A clear voice, without warning, pierced through the layers of magical sound, clearly reaching the ears within the array.

"Dear old friends, what brings such joy? Why not share it, let me Shen also partake in the happiness."

Ding Chunhua’s face suddenly changed, shouting in surprise: "Brother Niu, be wary, Shen Xuan has arrived."

Niu Dali’s laughter abruptly halted, his bull eyes wide open, swiftly turning around.

Only to see the enveloping demonic qi and seductive sound waves, as if meeting an invisible barrier, parting to the sides.

A straight-figured blue-robed cultivator stepped forward with composure.

The allure illusion demon array that could cause Foundation Establishment cultivators to lose their minds had no effect on this person.

The newcomer stood firm a hundred yards away, his face clearly visible.
