es have paid the price of their lives. One by one, they are exhausted. I will try my best to find a way, see if there is any alternative method that can keep the formation going—"I smiled and shook my..."Are you this weak! To be knocked away like that!" I'm truly speechless, it turns out the one who smashed through the wall was Chong Mo!

Chenyan was hit on the head, she covered her head and shook it, when she opened her eyes she saw Chongmo, she scrambled backwards in fright.

"How could this silly girl be fine!" Chong Mo was somewhat surprised.

"I almost got killed by you even though I was doing nothing!" I hit Chong Mo's head with the Ruyi once.

A sharp gust of wind roared, rushing to shield us swiftly.

In the hole in the wall, Shantao stood outside, her plump and wide mirage form hovering low behind her, staring coldly at us.

"The weak are the weak, how dare you mix with these mortals" Shan Tao sneered coldly.

Up close, I realized that this demon god named Santan, though female, had a lithe and powerful physique.

"...Have you two had a falling out before" I whispered.

"Who knows, maybe I beat her before and she holds a grudge." Chongmo grinned.

"Humph... You damaged the mirage pearl and still want to escape I must capture you and bring you before the Demon Emperor to atone!" Shantao was so angry her face turned blue.

Before being bound, Chong Mo was originally going to be sent to plead guilty...

"You've caused quite a stir!" I muttered under my breath.

"Hmph, who knows she's so petty." Chong Mo's mind was truly like that of an eight or nine-year-old child—an age even dogs would find annoying!

"Just surrender peacefully, and these mortals will suffer fewer casualties!" Shan Tao suddenly raised her hand, the spiked chain blade in her hand lifting the stone slab and hurling it towards us!

Chunks of rubble rained down, and Chong Mo swept his cloak, turning to shield me and Chen Yan beneath him!

This guy isn't "ungrowable" either.

The side gate's wall was dilapidated and the bluestone pavers on the ground were scattered about in disarray.

I shoved Chong Mo's shoulder and said coldly, "Go fight! If you get beaten again, do you have the face to pretend to be a big shot! Don't disgrace our Demon Lord!"

Chongmo was stunned: "It's not that big clam again! It always makes me slow to react at crucial moments—"

"I'll take care of that thing. You distract her!" I growled.

"You!" Chong Mo stared at me in disbelief.

I truly... won't fight.

But the large clam-shaped "mirage" seems unable to be too far from water, otherwise it wouldn't be able to maintain such a huge form.

As long as I can keep it at bay by the lake, Chongmo riding on his Taowu should be able to pull Shantao away, and that might improve the situation.

The Purple Cloud Sword materialized, radiating a cold, lightning-infused blade. I gripped the sword in one hand and pulled out several thunder talismans with the other.

"You, you..." Chong Mo stared at me blankly.

Zixiao Ruyi seemed unable to contain herself, the sewing of lightning crackling and spitting out tiny sparks.

"Just get this big clam's attention, right" I glared at Chong Mo and turned to Chen Yan. "Chen Yan, quickly go to the main hall, there's a barrier set by the Underworld Gods! Chong Mo, you take this woman to the back mountain and beat her!"

The back mountain is steep and uninhabited, you can fight however you want.

To see their home demolished like this, even the Immortal Venerable would be furious!

Chong Mo remained silent, his long blade drawn. Tao Wu stood poised to strike behind Shan Tao.

Shantao saw me preparing to resist and sneered, "You're overestimating yourself!"

She lunged at me with her chain blades, but Chong Mo parried with his long sword. Tao Wu then pounced forward—

》》》

Fish, shrimp, turtles and crocodiles, gathering energy to form a mirage.

This giant clam, with its breathy mist, must be a manifestation of the mirage gas from the Pearl of the Mirage.

A thick fog enveloped the area, causing hallucinations to arise.

I stood on the tarmac, closing my eyes for a moment.

Among all methods, thunder is the most revered.

Lei Fa, with its secretive and non-profligate transmission, difficult study, enormous power, and unfathomable secrets, once became the foremost of all mystical arts in the Xuan Men.

However, luckily, this purple cloud wishful thinking happened to be the Shen family's enshrined - thunder, department, law, artifact.

The Palace of the Nine Heavens' Sovereign, Supreme Jade Purity King.

Five thousand kalpas ago, there was a true ruler with immense power.

Holding a golden Ruyi scepter aloft, proclaiming the Jade Emperor's Scripture.

A bulletin of the highest urgency, like a gust of wind and fire, turns into dust if it doesn't go as planned...

Five lightning talismans scattered in the directions, Zijiao Ruyi draws thunder to ignite the talismans.

Five Thunder Formation.

Lightning flashed across the tarmac, and the phantoms beside me dissipated in the swirling mist.

The shape of the enormous, semi-transparent clam hovering above the lake surface became clearer in my eyes.

It shot out its soft tentacles, but as soon as it got near me, it was struck by a bolt of demonic lightning and quickly retracted.

At that moment, I saw its true form—on the edge of the trees by the lake shore, a pheasant with iridescent plumage was shaking its feathers frantically!

Is this thing that's playing tricks and hoodwinking my family

Perhaps only knocking the disciple of the Shen family unconscious could wake him up

I chased after the bird toward the lake. Seeing me approach, it frantically fluffed its feathers and a wisp of mirage shot out, transforming into tentacles that sprayed at me.

The Five Thunders Formation just now broke through the mist surrounding it, and these mirages can be blocked by the Zijiao Ruyi.

I'll let you play pretend... if I catch you, I'll throw you into the oil pot in the underworld and fry you up as chicken!

I was so angry that I wanted to pluck the pheasant's feathers, and I didn't notice the situation at the Shen Family Courtyard behind me.

"Little Madam~~ Be careful~~" Bai Wuchang's voice suddenly came, I turned my head abruptly——

Outside the Shen family's gate, a ghost taller than the gate itself opened its mouth and "spat" out a bunch of things towards me!

That pile of things was a jumbled mess, with scattered skulls and limbs, and writhing snakes, insects, and rodents...

"Ahhhh!!!!" What the heck is this!

In a moment of desperation, I released one hand that was gripping the Lei Jue and flung my fingers out to form another seal with both hands.

Divine Tiger Soul Summoning Seal!

"Awoooo—" The white divine tiger descended from the sky, pouncing down and pinning the chimeric creatures that were flying toward me from behind.

"Oh my oh my~~~~ Such a formidable lineup, being attacked from both sides~~~~" Bai Wu Chang said coolly.

He drew a long sword from his sleeve, and a soul-hook flew out from the other side.

For a moment, I thought I saw Jiang Qiyun.

"This Demon Lord, he even summoned demons~~~ This is~~ not treating our Underworld with respect" Bai Wu Chang sneered.

The apparition towering above the gate, was that missing corpse demon who had vanished for a while!

I saw this demon with my own eyes when it burst out of the corpse. At that time, it was still withered and ferocious, looking wild and unhinged.

After that, when I saw him on the rooftop of Yen's house, he had already become a large, menacing spirit with the ability to sneer and act consciously.

At this moment, he didn't know how many evil spirits and ghosts he had devoured. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he was as big as a wall!

Bai Wu Chang drew his sword and slashed, eliminating the malevolent spirits that charged towards me one by one.

"This is quite a scene~ Little Empress, you'd better hide in the main hall~~~" Bai Wu Chang floated in mid-air: "This subordinate~~ doesn't have time to take care of you...."her even said anything, all the aunts and uncles started gossiping... saying how so-and-so general's son is great, or how so-and-so rich man's son wants to get to know me. What do they take me for!”"T...
