“Mingxi Guozhu, you are indeed very strong, but this is my territory.”

So he might not necessarily lose!

Although Gui Xun's feelings upon discovering that the intruder was actually Ming Xi were not much different from those of the red-eyed old man.

It was all the same: unreal, tense, even frightening.

As I said before, any enemy would be intimidated by Mingxi now.

Even the Holy Lord dares not directly confront its might.

If he had known it was her, he would never have deliberately walked into her place; he would have preferred to destroy this secret location that had been planned for decades!

If Mingxi could be destroyed, or even just one of her pet beasts killed, it would be a huge achievement for the entire Descent.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as knowing beforehand.

There's no going back.

Unfortunately, Mingxi is not only cunning, but also so powerful that she doesn't need to worry about anything.

Normal spatial lockdowns prevent both entry and exit, but her pet beast's setup is something else entirely—it allows entry but not exit!

He just barged in.

He never expected that he would see Mingxi when he walked in.

What I never expected was that her movements would be so fast and so perfectly timed.

It just so happened that Red Eyes and the others went to cleanse their bodies of the accumulated Corpse Mist Poison.

(The Corpse Mist is a toxin produced by the daily excrement of the Corpse Witch Rat. It has a significant impact on the human body. Excessive ingestion may result in a high probability of reducing physical fitness. Therefore, if you are in contact with them for a long time, you need to clean them regularly.)

However, this toxin is extremely unique and very difficult to remove with supernatural abilities. It can only be cleaned by soaking the stone in a gravel slurry treated with ultra-high temperature and super-magnetic waves.

If Gui Xun hadn't known that it was highly unlikely Mingxi had known about the situation beforehand, he would have truly believed that this person had already investigated everything about this place.

Many people in the league are saying that this person's luck is even more incredible than her talent.

It seems to be true!

Fortunately, he knew how to disguise himself. He projected confidence, adopted a certain posture, and made his madness seem genuine.

Then he is fearless!

Mingxi was unmoved by his confident provocation; she simply uttered three words:

"Gold ingot".

Two Venerable-level and two Saint-level beasts—even though the circumstances of these four pets are somewhat special, it's really not enough to make Mingxi take real action.

Whether he has a bigger trump card or is just bluffing.

Sending her strongest gold ingot was already the greatest respect she could show to this ghost lord.

God-level pets are no joke, okay?

These people probably never understood the meaning of "god-level," which is an existence that far surpasses "venerable-level" by ten or even a hundred times.

Do they really think these four pet beasts can provoke them?

I feel younger.

Gui Xun was stunned for a moment. What did that mean?

She only sent one?

Before he even felt humiliated, it was all over.

Jin Yuanbao raised his head.

It hadn't even fully unfurled its pair of lead-gold wings that blotted out the sky.

It simply hovered quietly in place, with its eighteen tail chains swaying slowly behind it like swimming dragons.

The purple-gold light at the center of those blood-red eyes shone as brightly as the sun in that instant.

Full of majesty!

It's not about area suppression, but about precise targeting.

All four pets simultaneously felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.

It was less of a divine pressure and more of a deterrent effect at the level of rules.

It's like the instinctive fear that mortals feel when faced with thunder.

Like an ant looking up at the sky, so insignificant.

The abyssal breath of the Rift Abyss Demon Dragon was frozen in mid-air after it had only been half exhaled.

Under Jin Yuanbao's gaze, the corrosive black mist vanished silently, like ghosts exposed to light.

The Soul-Devouring Nether Sparrow let out a sharp, soul-piercing cry—its innate skill, theoretically capable of directly attacking the spiritual world of all extraordinary beings.

But the shriek was swallowed up by the lightning behind Jin Yuanbao as soon as it was uttered.

The ghostly fire in its eye sockets flickered violently; it was real fear.

For the first time, a ferocious bird that feeds on the souls of the dead felt the threat of death.

Greyhill roared and pounced forward, his Mountain-Shattering Fist technique reaching its peak, his fists wreathed with energy powerful enough to shatter mountains.

But after taking only three steps, it found itself unable to move anymore.

It wasn't that it was bound, but rather that the instant it made a move, it was struck by an extreme hellish tearing slash.

Cut in half at the waist.

It didn't take the usual three steps in its life, but the last three steps of its life.

After taking three steps, my body was split into two halves: the upper half and the lower half.

If it were an earthworm, an organism capable of regeneration through basal cells, it might be able to generate two more completely new Greyhills.

But it is clearly not.

With injuries of this severity, unless an angelic supernatural being of Little Silver Flower's caliber intervenes, a good outcome is virtually impossible.

Even if its energy core is still intact.

But Greyhill wasn't the worst off.

The worst off was Wiesenger.

It's clear that Gui Xun is indeed very 'dedicated' in nurturing it, as it has already been severely affected by its own evil desires.

Their ability to think for themselves has declined, leaving them with almost nothing but the aggressive instinct driven by malice.

Jin Yuanbao would naturally not overlook it.

This kind of existence, whether tragic or sorrowful, is one where living is suffering for oneself and others.

Therefore, Jin Yuanbao held nothing back and aimed to kill Jin Yuanbao completely.

Hell Tear Slash followed immediately by Spiral Piercing Strike version of Evil Flame Lightning!

The tentacles that had been extended froze in mid-air, and one after another, their pale, pointed eyes burst open, turning into black pus.

They're completely dead.

Jin Yuanbao had no interest in watching its defeated opponent die; it lightly fanned its right wing.

There was no charging up, no skill pre-cast animation, just a gentle fanning motion.

Thunderous Prison!

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking its target precisely.

This time it was a precise and targeted kill.

Even though the Ten Thousand Thunder Prison is primarily designed for control, it can become a means of killing when facing a weak and severely injured opponent.

The lightning bolt pierced through the abyss demon dragon.

The black scales that could corrode steel were as brittle as paper in the face of lightning that was almost divine punishment.

Lightning entered through its spine and pierced through its abdomen, evaporating all the energy within its body in a fraction of a second.

Before the Rift Abyss Demon Dragon could even scream, it transformed into a charred shell and plummeted from mid-air.

The second lightning bolt caught up with the Soul-Devouring Nether Sparrow, which was frantically fleeing.

It tried to protect itself with its ghostly fire domain, but those ghostly blue flames were extinguished instantly in the lightning, like candles flickering in the wind.

The lightning bolt struck its core by chance, sending it, along with the countless souls within it, into utter annihilation.

Even the broken Greyhill couldn't escape the fate of being separated from Earth.

The steel armor of this war behemoth was indeed tough, holding out for a full 0.3 seconds in the lightning before shattering.

But at the moment it shattered, all the metal structures inside it overloaded and exploded simultaneously, blasting it into countless fragments from the inside.

There's no need to consider whether it has regenerative capabilities anymore.

The cells were all evaporated.

And then have another egg.

The entire battle lasted only three seconds.

Gui Xun's four pet beasts were all wiped out.

Gui Xun is a well-rounded individual. As the Ghost Lord of the Great Sili Kingdom and a core member of the Descent Organization, he indeed possesses items that can resist the backlash from the brain.

So he seemed to have no other reaction besides disbelief.

It's also possible that Jin Yuanbao gave him too little time.

Mingxi, who had been watching him closely, raised an eyebrow. Normally, no items could be used in the Ghost Nightmare Land.

And something that can resist the backlash to the brain caused by the death of a pet...

Suddenly, her heart started beating faster for no apparent reason.

She sensed it; at the very moment Jin Yuanbao released the Heavenly Prison of Ten Thousand Thunders, something outside this illusory realm... was awakening.

Mingxi suddenly looked up, her eyes becoming deep and shimmering with starlight.

The upside-down ocean remains upside-down, and the broken earth remains broken.

Countless fragments of space rotated, collided, and annihilated, seemingly without any change.

But she knew perfectly well that they were being watched.

Gui Xun, however, did not notice Ming Xi's change. He stood there, the smile on his lips completely frozen.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.

Jin Yuanbao has returned to Mingxi's side.

It didn't even glance at the corpses, but gently pecked Mingxi's shoulder with its beak, as if to curry favor.

Mingxi acted as if she hadn't noticed anything and reached out to ruffle its feathers.

"Well done."

She didn't show favoritism and also patted Liangjingjing's head.

While Jin Yuanbao was dealing with Gui Xun's four pet beasts, Liang Jingjing also took care of the pet beasts of the five people with red eyes.

However, Mingxi did not intend to kill the five red-eyed men and Guixun.

It wasn't that she was afraid of anyone, but the matter of the Corpse Rat involved too many things, and she had to make sure that there was no other place besides this place to raise Corpse Rat!

There will never be another hell on earth like this!

Therefore, these people must be sent out intact for a thorough interrogation.

Gui Xun had completely lost his previous composure, but no one paid attention.

Mingxi turned around and looked at Jin Yuanbao and Yaoxuan.

"You two, take them and these people away from the Nightmare Land first. Once you're out, ignore whoever comes. If anyone tries to forcibly take them away, take action. Contact He Linghan directly, and he will arrange the follow-up."

Although they haven't known each other for long, He Linghan is indeed a good assistant.

Mingxi felt reassured leaving these people and the follow-up matters to him.

"thunder?"

What about you?

“We must stay.” Mingxi’s eyes darkened slightly. “I feel there’s something wrong with this Nightmare Land.”

We need to figure this out.

Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan were silent for a second, then nodded in unison.

They understood why Mingxi sent them out, not only because they were strong enough to be a strong deterrent, but also because Yaoxuan could speak human language and could communicate directly with humans without needing other pets to relay their messages.

Moreover, the gold ingot can see the truth, and the Yaoxuan can see through fate; they are most sensitive to the good and evil of humankind.

They are indeed the best suited to handle this matter.

Although being away from their master for a long time is an unbearable ordeal for any pet.

But they can endure it.

"Understood." Yaoxuan's nine heads turned towards Guixun and the five red-eyed people at the same time, and threads of fate wrapped around their bodies.

Jin Yuanbao then spread its wings completely, allowing Xiao Yinhua to use her telekinesis to transfer the rescued people onto its back.

When fully formed, it is enormous enough to house at least seven or eight hundred people.

The rest is up to Yaoxuan.

Its actual size is not small either.

When the boy who was drawing the mouse was lifted up by telekinesis, he suddenly turned around and looked at Mingxi.

"Help..." he whispered in a hoarse voice, "...Help?"

Mingxi met his gaze.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed his dry little head. "Baby, you're safe now. You'll be safe from now on, and you'll live a happy and carefree life."

The boy tilted his head, as if trying to understand what she was saying.

Those big eyes remained empty and numb.

Clearly, he still couldn't understand.

Mingxi felt a pang of heartache and gently stroked his thin face. "Don't worry, one day you'll understand."

"...Yes...yes..."

The boy, bewildered, tried to imitate the sound of tongue as Mingxi lifted him onto Jin Yuanbao's back.

Unlike the eighty-one tribulations that led to entering, leaving this place is much easier.

Little Silver Flower can simply open a portal for them and send them away directly.

After all, Xiaoyinhua is fully capable of locating the outside world.

Convenient, safe, and fast.

Jin Yuanbao and Yao Xuan left before Mingxi and the others, leaving only Mingxi and the seven in the chaotic illusion.

"Let's go see what's over there."

...

The Ninth Outpost, outside the Ghost Nightmare Tower.

Guard Kui Jiu leaned against the door of the guard post, yawning.

Tonight is just like every night before.

The quiet wasteland, the pitch-black sky, and occasionally a few nocturnal insect-type extraordinary creatures would fly by in the distance, bringing with them a rustling sound.

He has been a guard at the outer outpost of Ghost Nightmare Tower for almost a year.

I have gradually adapted to this idle life.

So he was very relaxed, so relaxed that he didn't even notice the alarm bell on his waist, which wasn't standard equipment for guards, was swaying gently.

until--

"bite--!!!"

It's not a bell.

It was as if all the alarms at the entire outpost were going off at once.

The ear-piercing metallic clanging tore through the night sky, and every warning device hanging on the tower vibrated wildly.

Every single vine wrapped around the outpost, inside and out, was contracting violently.

Every owl perched atop the watchtower was emitting a piercing scream.

Kui Jiu dropped his pipe on the ground.

He suddenly looked up.

Then, he saw it.

Just outside their watchtower, a spatial portal suddenly appeared.

Then there were two enormous, exceptionally majestic and imposing supernatural beings.

They shimmered with light, like two demon gods descended from the divine realm.

The light split the night sky outside the ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) outpost in two.

It illuminated the entire wasteland.

It illuminated the pale faces of Kui Jiu and his colleagues.

It illuminated the patrol teams that were frantically surging in from all directions.

"Enemy attack!!!"

A hoarse roar exploded from inside and outside the outpost.

The next second, countless points of light lit up the wasteland.

These were beast tamers emerging from various outposts, camps, and hidden strongholds.

The aerial patrol team, riding on wind-winged birds, took off like locusts, blotting out the sky.

Ground troops riding rock-armored rhinoceroses charged in from all directions, each step shaking the ground.

Meanwhile, the elite squads hidden in the shadows, along with their Shadow Cats, Stealth Snakes, and Night Wolves, silently blended into the night and flanked the direction from which the lightning struck.

Less than thirty seconds.

More than 300 beast tamers and over 500 pet beasts surrounded the area from all sides, making it impossible to pass through.
