Chen Dragon’s claws accompanied by its constant evolution, as it stepped into the Incense Divine Dao Tenth Tier, its pair of sharp claws underwent tempering, already becoming a Divine Dao Magical Artifact, truly indestructible.
He wanted to use his claws to directly counter Zhang Chen’s Buzhou Seal, it was a good plan, but what is Zhang Chen’s Buzhou Seal?
Buzhou Seal contains the power to suppress and destroy Ten Thousand Techniques, under its confinement, all Extraordinary Power would vanish, transforming into mere mortal, mundane matter.
Only hearing a ’crack’, Chen Dragon’s pair of claws were broken, before it could react, Buzhou Seal already passed through the broken claws and smashed onto its forehead, and then with a wail from Chen Dragon, its eyes rolled back, its spirit faltered and became dizzy, being directly struck away by Gu Mingyue, spraying three liters of blood, then Zhang Chen’s Celestial Measuring Ruler flew out from his hand, twisting the void and suppressing Chen Dragon, Zhang Chen casually sent a Sealing Rune into Chen Dragon’s body, then imprisoned it within the Ice Hell.
Using Sealing Rune to suppress the opponent seems excessive, once the opponent is in Ice Hell it won’t escape, but Zhang Chen thought soon the opponent must be released, lest it retaliates, better to suppress it in advance.
All this seems long in words, yet in a flash, Zhang Chen and Gu Mingyue were already finished collaborating, suppressing three powerful Demon Race figures.
Buzhou Seal turned into a white light and entered the sleeve of Zhang Chen, and Gu Mingyue looking at the Buzhou Seal flying into Zhang Chen’s sleeve couldn’t help his eyelids twitching, a sense of dread rising within.
This treasure is simply the Divine Artifact for sneak attacks, let alone the two Demon Gods of the Demon Race, even if it were himself, if struck by that treasure, death would certainly not be far.
Furthermore Zhang Chen’s action was so quick, he couldn’t clearly see the principle behind Buzhou Seal, thus leaving him with even more dread.
"This treasure is truly remarkable, but I don’t know its origin, to have smashed two Eleventh Tier Demon Gods into unconsciousness effortlessly." Gu Mingyue intensely gazed at Zhang Chen, probing with his words.
Upon hearing Gu Mingyue’s probe, Zhang Chen responded with a smile: "Just some minor techniques, nothing able to match your world-shaking Great Divine Techniques."
"What to do now?" Zhang Chen shifted the topic to avoid continuing this conversation.
"It depends on the Demon Race response! Either they dispatch Demon Gods to descend again, or continue deploying the array to break the Blood Sea Array. But it’s not so easy to break the Blood Sea Array; presumably, they won’t attempt that. As for dispatching Demon Gods again, surely they’re reluctant, after two Demon Gods have been suppressed by us, it’s likely they’ll negotiate with us." Gu Mingyue said.
Upon hearing Gu Mingyue’s words, Zhang Chen turned to glance at the Demon Race wreaking havoc behind in Jinling City, saying: "Let’s hope so, if the negotiation happens sooner, it can save more lives."
Indeed, during their conversation, the cloudy mists above the array swirled, Pleiades Chicken stood outside the array, looking aghast at Zhang Chen and Gu Mingyue, surprised by their methods to suppress two Demon Gods instantly.
Keep in mind the Twelve Primordial Stars Array is not simple, missing two hosts could spell trouble if the breach is detected.
After all, Gu Mingyue is no simple character, if it tears a hole in the Twelve Primordial Stars Array and escapes, bringing Yellow Heaven Dao reinforcements would spell great trouble for oneself.
"Gu Mingyue, you shameless Humans, using what methods to harm our Demon Race Divine Beings? Quickly hand over the Pig God and Dragon God, otherwise Jinling City will be reduced to rubble in an instant, becoming a wasteland." Pleiades Chicken angrily reprimanded the two.
"Pleiades Chicken, we’re old acquaintances, stop posturing, let’s lay out the conditions and talk, why say these pointless words." Gu Mingyue said to Pleiades Chicken.
Pleiades Chicken pondered momentarily upon hearing these words, then said: "What would you have us do?"
"Not what I would have, but what you want to do. Your Demon Race lacks principles, aiming to kill us by trapping us within Jinling City, truly audacious, to ask us what we want? We should be asking what you want instead." Gu Mingyue thundered, now with two Demon Gods in his grasps, he had leverage to directly scold the opponent.
Listening to Gu Mingyue, Pleiades Chicken felt a headache coming on, he hadn’t expected a flawless plan to have such a slip-up, he inwardly cursed those Pig Demon and Chen Dragon as useless, two Eleventh Tier figures overturned, giving him no chance to respond.
Now cornered with no way out, truly a conundrum.
"What conditions do you have? Feel free to propose them, and we will see if we can meet them," Pleiades Chicken shifted the topic, waiting for Gu Mingyue to propose conditions, then plan to bargain a bit, hoping to resolve the trouble at the least cost.
"Could you be so kind as to open the grand array and grant me a way out?" Gu Mingyue requested.
Pleiades Chicken refused without hesitation, "That condition is impossible; you’d better propose another."
"If I can’t leave the array to seek vitality, what point is there in living? I might as well just drag both Demon Gods down with me to the grave," Gu Mingyue said with a smile. Having caught those two Demon Gods, she now had bargaining chips.
"You’d better think carefully and propose a reliable condition. Since we are ordered to trap you here, we will absolutely not allow you to escape, nor grant you vitality," Pleiades Chicken paused, "How about I release some of your Yellow Heaven Dao disciples, and you return my two brothers? You, great cultivators, must die, but the lower-level disciples can live."
Upon hearing this, Gu Mingyue’s face instantly turned gloomy, "All in all, I can’t escape death today?"
"Indeed!" Pleiades Chicken replied.
Gu Mingyue heard this, her face dark and heavy, "If I can’t survive myself, how can I care about the life and death of those ordinary disciples? Might as well let your two brothers go down with me. We can’t negotiate with that condition; my survival is the most basic condition."
Pleiades Chicken felt it was a thorny issue, but letting Gu Mingyue and her group go was impossible. After all, besieging a Twelfth Tier powerhouse isn’t easy; time, place, and unity are indispensable.
"Gu Mingyue, stop causing trouble. Even if I let everyone in Jinling City go, I will leave you here; you are absolutely doomed!" Pleiades Chicken spoke with a tone full of irrefutable firmness.
"So, it seems I’m definitely going to die?" Gu Mingyue asked upon hearing this.
"Definitely! If you die, the entire city’s people can live, and the Yellow Heaven Dao cultivators inside the city can live!" Pleiades Chicken said.
Gu Mingyue’s face turned gloomy, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill those two Demon Gods to go down with me?"
Pleiades Chicken sneered, "The crucial point is, those two Demon Gods are not in your possession."
Now, Pleiades Chicken looked at Zhang Chen, "Brother, isn’t that reasonable? As long as you kill Gu Mingyue inside the city, I can open the grand array to give you a way out. Our Demon Race set up such a big battle solely to slay Gu Mingyue! Now that my two Demon God brothers are in your hands, you should consider it carefully."
Gu Mingyue heard this, her face changed, she turned and looked at Zhang Chen. She and Zhang Chen were at odds, fearing that at this moment Zhang Chen might be short-sighted and directly swayed by the other side, so she spoke, "Don’t listen to his nonsense; he’s trying to divide us and make us fight internally. If I die, you won’t survive either! Without me commanding the Blood Sea Array, it would collapse instantly, then ten Demon Gods would descend, and you definitely can’t withstand them."
While hearing Gu Mingyue’s words, Zhang Chen remained silent, merely gazing at Pleiades Chicken, "This matter requires long-term planning. I still need to persuade the Yellow Heaven Dao disciples in Jinling City to convince Gu Mingyue to make a sacrifice, sacrificing the individual for the greater good. But for now, I’d ask you to temporarily withdraw your troops. Don’t let the Demon Race’s army run rampant within Jinling City, or I’ll behead a Demon God for you."
Pleiades Chicken was overjoyed that Zhang Chen was swayed, "Okay, I will order the retreat immediately. You can discuss with the experts in the city, and persuade this great cultivator of Yellow Heaven Dao to give up oneself for the whole city."
Pleiades Chicken was overjoyed, hurriedly called for withdrawal, numerous demon beasts retreated from Jinling City like a tide, "I’ll give you a day. After a day, I’ll come to ask you again. If we can reach a deal, it will naturally be a happy outcome for all. If not, we will have to fight to the death. Frankly, I’m not of the same race as Chen Dragon and Pig Demon; we are competitors. If you actually kill both of them, I wouldn’t be afraid; at worst, my ancestor would punish me a bit later."
Having said this, Pleiades Chicken disappeared into the array, vanishing in a few flickers.
Gu Mingyue turned and looked at Zhang Chen, eyes filled with vigilance, "Zhang Chen, you wouldn’t really be swayed by that beast and try to stab me, right? Let me tell you, if I die, the other side will surely seize the chance to break the Blood Sea Array and massacre Jinling City, then you won’t escape either."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows, turned to glance at Gu Mingyue, "Do you really think I am such a fool? The Demon Race’s words are not to be trusted either. The reason I spoke up to stall him was to observe the weakness of the Twelve Primordial Stars Array. Now that the array has lost its two Demon Gods, it’s not functioning smoothly; if we find a flaw, we can break the array directly. Why negotiate with demon beasts then?"
Gu Mingyue felt slightly reassured, "You make sense; it seems my previous thoughts were mistaken. Even if we capture the Demon God, forcing them to open the array is still difficult!"
