This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 871 - 674: Damn, They Actually Locked the Door!

"The array hasn't been destroyed; it's just that all the spirit runes of the formation have lost their effect. It should be his disruption domain."

Gongsun Bai'an and Qiu Feng stepped into the thousand-mile dead zone outside the Abyss Gate and saw the intact yet completely non-functional evil formations. Instantly, they understood how Liang Yi managed to leave here unscathed.

"To be honest, the Abyss Will has always emphasized the threat of Liang Yi, but until that guy grew up, the only threat in my eyes was Chen Hua."

With a wave of his hand, dispersing all the formations around, Qiu Feng, dressed in a green robe and looking elegant and handsome, sighed, with a rare hint of regret in his tone.

"But now I truly regret it, or rather, I've been regretting from the moment the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core was destroyed."

"You and Cang Dong had the best chances, but sadly neither of you seized them. It's just regrettable."

In Gongsun Bai'an's palm, a wheel of blood-colored moonlight shone as he spoke and extended his alabaster-like hand into the Abyss Gate.

A massive black vortex, towering as tall as Tiantong, instantly changed from deep, lightless black to blood red, and finally, it gradually stopped.

The Abyss Gate, closed!

"If only you two had paid more attention to Liang Yi back then and had poured half your power into the Mystical Mechanism without regard for the cost, that guy wouldn't be that hard to deal with now, and wouldn't have ruined countless of our plans!"

Retracting his hand, Gongsun Bai'an showed an expression full of regret.

"Tian Anyu kept reminding us of Liang Yi's importance, but unfortunately, no one paid heed to his words at that time." Qiu Feng brushed aside the stray hair in front of him, sighing helplessly. "Pity, Tian Anyu also ended up dying in Liang Yi's hands. What a twist of fate."

"I've already closed the Abyss Gate, with Abyss Will counteracting the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao. That guy won't be able to leave here for some time, regardless of his efforts. Find him and kill him! Do not let him walk out of the Abyss alive."

Gongsun Bai'an's gaze was fierce, with killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"That's exactly my intention!"

Qiu Feng readily agreed, harboring no less killing intent towards Liang Yi than anyone else.

All the Abyss Cultivators, upon receiving the order, were in frenzy, desperately searching for Liang Yi's whereabouts, willing to turn the entire Abyss Continent upside down if necessary.

All the Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm from bygone epochs who were awakened from their slumber were sent out, searching inch by inch, from the Nine Heavens to the Netherworld, for any trace of Liang Yi.

Once Gongsun Bai'an and Qiu Feng left the Abyss Gate, the number of Abyss Cultivators stationed here significantly decreased, all joining Zuo Yongning and Xia Kun in searching for Liang Yi's whereabouts within the Abyss Continent.

Yet no one expected that after Liang Yi broke through the thousand-mile dead zone and killed all the Abyss Cultivators monitoring him, he didn't run away. Instead, he sneaked back to the vicinity of the Abyss Gate.

Thinking in reverse, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Under normal circumstances, even if Abyss Cultivators withdraw from here, they should meticulously search every spot before leaving. But unfortunately, when they were searching, Liang Yi happened to be hiding at the place where Qiu Feng and Gongsun Bai'an were located.

Due to habitual thinking, if the place where the leader had been was deemed problem-free, then it must be safe.

So, after Gongsun Bai'an and Qiu Feng failed to find Liang Yi, naturally, no one else would come over to search the area again, as doing so would almost be considered a challenge to Gongsun Bai'an and Qiu Feng.

"Phew, this cloak given by Old Master Wan is really something."

Liang Yi removed his hood to reveal his figure, cheerfully gazing in the direction where Gongsun Bai'an and Qiu Feng left, very satisfied with this unseen Senluo robe.

"Unfortunately, after using it, I still have to return it. No chance to freeload."

This unseen Senluo robe is one of the sect-protecting treasures of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, with a grade slightly higher than Pang Qingshi's Floating Life Bell, and has never been lent out.

The functionality of this vestment robe is singular, solely for obscuring the Heavenly Mechanism; hiding its shape and vanishing its aura were just a result of Liang Yi's Daoist skills and domain effects.

But this strength was exploited to its fullest by the Senluo Wanxiang Sect. This vestment robe was crafted entirely for evading the heavens, hence the Abyss Will couldn't just eliminate him with a slap, as he was impossible to locate. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"But that guy even closed the Abyss Gate now; this is troubling..."

Liang Yi turned to look at the now completely sealed Abyss Gate, crossing his arms, a troubled expression on his face.

Although he had anticipated this scenario, actually watching the only exit being sealed did make him somewhat anxious. But to say that he was panicking to the point of despair would be an overstatement, as the door couldn't be kept shut indefinitely by the Abyss Will.

This was something Liang Yi had confirmed with Lord Orange earlier.

The Abyss World itself split off from the Mystic Mechanism World. Although the current Abyss World is completely beyond the control of the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao, the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao still holds the "key" to reach into the Abyss World. It hadn't been used earlier because it had been intruded upon, which left the key virtually unused by the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao.

Now, since Gongsun Bai'an sealed the Abyss Gate, the key held by Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao comes into play, ensuring Liang Yi at least a slim chance of survival.

"But at least, in this short period, I must not get caught..."

After murmuring to himself, Liang Yi scanned his surroundings with his Divine Sense and moved accordingly.

His purpose in coming was to gather intelligence here, everything down to the smallest details. That's why he stayed near the Abyss Gate, intending to slowly probe the vicinity of the Abyss Continent from here.

Apart from recording various intelligence and the arrangements of the Abyss Cultivators, the most critical mission of this trip was to find the secret location that his teacher mentioned, a place where the Abyss Will could individually challenge the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao alongside a group of them.

They had deliberated on this location and concluded that only one place could meet these conditions.

Liang Yi quietly concealed his form, cautiously evading the Abyss Cultivators' searches while meticulously documenting everything he saw and heard in the jade tube.

When the Abyss Gate closed, the other side of the Mystical Mechanism Continent also witnessed this event, and countless Great Cultivators looked towards the now silent Abyss Gate.

"Senior Brother..."

Su Youyi stood worriedly before the sealed Abyss Gate.

"Don't worry. Since the Abyss Will has chosen to close the Abyss Gate, their goal is to prevent Liang Yi from escaping. This means that Liang Yi not only managed to avoid their ambush but also successfully escaped from there."

Ting Gui's figure appeared behind Su Youyi, also gazing at the Abyss Gate, speaking words of comfort.

"Mm-hmm! I know, but thinking about my Senior Brother now facing the entire Abyss alone, I can't help but worry."

The worries were heavily reflected between Su Youyi's brows because confronting the whole Abyss World alone is something no one could take lightly, right?

"The Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao has already taken action. When the Abyss Gate opens again, Liang Yi should be able to return."

Ting Gui looked at the mysterious clear aura on the Abyss Gate, speaking with confidence.

The clear aura was mystical, and the Dao Rhythm was fluctuating, now adhering to the entire Abyss Gate. An invisible mighty force erupted from the void, seemingly competing against something.

Su Youyi silently watched this scene, knowing that now the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao was likely trying to reopen the Abyss Gate, but that pervasive black mist on the Abyss Gate should be the handiwork of the Abyss Will, attempting its utmost to stop it.

"Let's head back. When Senior Brother returns, I will certainly be strong enough to stand beside him with peace of mind."

Su Youyi withdrew her gaze, burying her worry deep within and letting her eyes show determination once more.

"Mm-hmm."

Ting Gui, seeing that Su Youyi was untroubled, responded with a smile.

Currently, Lord Orange was still resting, so she and the soon-arriving Yue Bai became Su Youyi's sparring partners, together progressing through mutual refinement.
