Chapter 1711
Chen Xuan remained standing atop the pass, his hands clasped behind his back, his robes fluttering slightly in the breeze. Beside him, Bai Li gazed at the mountain-like Nine Nether Beast, her expression growing increasingly tense.
That was an instinctive fear stemming from the bloodline of demonic beasts; the ferocity emanating from the other party almost crushed her very soul.
Chen Xuan hadn't taken this combined formation seriously, but when his divine sense pierced through the phantom of the Nine Nether Hound like a sharp sword, his expression suddenly changed.
"You five are rebelling against the Heavenly Gang! Are you plotting to murder your husbands?"
He was shocked to see that the five branch array bases deep within the combined array were none other than Yu'er, Piaoxue, Xing'er, Zimo, and Tianxing!
"Interesting, very interesting." Chen Xuan's lips curled into a playful smile, then he composed himself. With a thought, his divine sense transformed into a resounding bell, exploding in the minds of hundreds of thousands of cultivators. "Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?"
This divine sense was comparable to that of a true god or immortal, penetrating everywhere, and instantly awakened the five women who were united in their hatred of the enemy.
"Is that my husband's voice?"
"We...we joined forces to attack our husband?"
The five women's minds buzzed simultaneously. They communicated with each other using their divine senses, only then realizing the enormous misunderstanding they had caused. Without a second thought, they immediately broke away from the array base, transforming into five streams of light and fleeing into the distance.
The simplified array formation of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land is based on the main array base, and the other thousands of array bases can operate as long as cultivators of the same realm continuously inject spiritual energy.
Therefore, the five women's departure went unnoticed. Some people even sneered when they saw them retreating, saying, "We are in the middle of fighting the enemy, and you dare to retreat alone? Are you looking for death?"
Yu'er and the other five women merely snorted coldly and walked away without looking back—this bit of mockery was utterly insignificant compared to the panic of having mistakenly attacked her husband.
At this moment, the Nine Nether Hound's four claws landed heavily on the ground in front of the pass, its enormous body almost obscuring half the sky.
The world instantly fell into darkness, and the appearance of the Chaos Pass could no longer be seen with the naked eye. Only the nine Void Realm experts under Zhu Zhen's command, including Golden Tiger, Silver Dragon, and the girl in black, were able to barely pinpoint the location of the pass by using their combined power.
The Golden Tiger stood directly atop the Nine Nether Hound's head, its gaze sharp as lightning, fixed intently on what lay ahead.
Chen Xuan's question still echoed in their minds, and the expressions of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the formation changed drastically—they remembered that voice vividly! It was the "Nine Heavens Brat" who had extorted tens of millions of catties of Yuan Liquid ten years ago!
"Nine Heavens, you've gone too far!" Jin Hu's angry roar was like a thunderclap. "Back then, you defied the world and were the first to enter the Divine Nest in front of my Nine Nether Holy Land, treating my Holy Land as nothing; now that the Divine Nest is about to close, you actually set up an array to demand a toll, do you really think we are easy to bully?"
These words instantly ignited the anger of the crowd. The cultivators within the formation snorted coldly, their eyes burning with fury that seemed almost tangible.
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly upon hearing this, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "I set up this formation here and never stopped you—you were free to enter, pass through, and leave on your own. But you insisted on joining forces to break the formation, so you should compensate me for the losses incurred in setting up the formation."
Chen Xuan paused, his gaze sweeping over the ferocious Nine Nether Beast, and said calmly, "This time we won't ask for much. Each person can hand over five million catties of Yuan Liquid, or something of equivalent value."
Upon hearing this, Jin Hu, Yin Long, the girl in black, and the other disciples of the Holy City all had their expressions change drastically.
"You brat, you've gone too far!" someone roared. "We, hundreds of thousands of Void Reversal Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, have joined forces to form the Nine Nether Hound Saint Formation. Do you think we're afraid of you?"
Chen Xuan, too lazy to waste words, moved his mind and his hands spun rapidly. In an instant, two Northern Darkness Swords, radiating terrifying power, appeared out of thin air. The eerie light flowing from their blades seemed capable of freezing the void, and the air itself seemed to groan wherever their sword energy touched.
The next moment, he transformed into a streak of light and flew a hundred miles away, raising his hand to slash down with his sword from afar, his clear shout resounding through the void: "Slash!"
The dazzling sword light suddenly split in two, like two shooting stars disappearing into the void.
When it reappeared, two enormous water and fire lotuses bloomed below and above the Nine Nether Hound—more magnificent than mountains, with flames surging like crimson clouds and water flowing like a cascading silver river, their dazzling light almost blinding.
