The Grey Rat's Demon Path

There was a hint of displeasure in the voice of the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, Mo Siyi.

Seeing the two Peacock Great Demons about to leave, he immediately sent his Magical Artifact soaring into the air after them.

He carried a Pass Token, and since the Array Restriction on Shuyun Peak was only on alert and not yet fully activated, Mo Siyi, the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, could come and go without issue.

While the Array was on alert, any attack would cause it to instantly activate at full power.

At that point, even a Pass Token would be useless!

"Fellow Daoists, please wait!"

Mo Siyi, the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, called out, trying to stop them.

'If we offend Peacock Mountain's Law Enforcement Demons now, we'll probably face trouble down the line.'

'He just wanted to run his Demon Talisman business in peace, not make any enemies.'

'Grey Rat is usually so easygoing. I don't know what's gotten into him today.'

'Refusing to let Peacock Mountain's Law Enforcement Demons onto the mountain to investigate, all based on some vague, unsubstantiated feeling!'

Hearing the voice of the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, the Stone Bear Demon and the Giant Elephant Demon halted their Escape Lights.

Turning around, the Stone Bear Demon faced the Big-horned Sheep Spirit and demanded,

"If the Mountain Protection Array's Restriction isn't released, we can't enter the peak to investigate. What's the point of staying here!?"

BUZZ—

A light flashed as the Restriction on the Mountain Protection Array of Cloud Sea Peak's second peak was released.

The Stone Bear Demon and the Giant Elephant Demon exchanged a look.

"Don't be angry, Fellow Daoist Shi. We'll release the Array Restriction right now!"

Mo Siyi, the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, said with a smile. He turned and called out to Yu Lulu, who was still on Shuyun Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, please—"

Before Mo Siyi, the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, could finish his sentence, a giant axe gleaming with dark light split him in two.

Blood splattered across the sky!

"Naive!"

The Stone Bear Demon sneered, recalling the giant axe with a surge of his Demon Power.

His Demon Power erupted, no longer concealed.

The aura of his revealed Cultivation was shockingly that of the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Minor Achievement realm!

This was a Top-tier Great Demon!

At the same time, with a flash of light, the Array Restriction on Cloud Sea Peak's fourth mountain was released!

The Scorpion Spirit, Yu Lulu, watched, dumbfounded by how quickly the situation had changed.

"Fellow Daoist Mo!"

Seeing the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, Mo Siyi, split in two by the giant axe, she couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

In just a few moments, the Big-horned Sheep Spirit had died on the spot without being able to use a single one of his skills.

How could the Big-horned Sheep Spirit, who wasn't skilled in Magical Combat, possibly withstand a sneak attack from a Top-tier Great Demon?

"Fellow Daoist Yu, activate the Array! Quickly!"

"Right!"

Yu Lulu clearly understood what was most important right now.

Suppressing the terror in her heart, she immediately began activating the Array Restriction.

As a Tier Two High-grade Array Master, Yu Lulu was naturally proficient. In just a few moments, the Array on Shuyun Peak was activated at full power.

"You lot are certainly vigilant!"

The Stone Bear Demon's expression showed no trace of impatience as he looked at Xu Chang'an and Yu Lulu on Shuyun Peak.

Just moments ago, the Array Restriction on Cloud Sea Peak's first mountain had been released!

Cloud Sea Peak had a total of five mountains. The Array Restrictions on three of them—the first, second, and fourth—had all been released.

The Quasi-Third Tier comprehensive defensive grand array that protected Cloud Sea Peak could not be activated at all.

'Besides,' he thought, 'we already have our own Demons inside the third mountain of Cloud Sea Peak. With them coordinating from within, it shouldn't take much effort.'

'Without being able to form the Quasi-Third Tier grand protective array, the Array on this single mountain, while impressive, is merely an ordinary Tier Two High-grade Array.'

'There's only the fifth mountain left, with just two Demons guarding it. We can take it down in the blink of an eye!'

"Grey Rat, what do we do now!?"

After activating the mountain's Array, Yu Lulu was at a loss and subconsciously turned to ask Xu Chang'an.

She had clearly realized that the two Great Demons outside Shuyun Peak were not Law Enforcement Demons from Peacock Mountain at all.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, your expertise with Arrays is profound. If you take command of the grand array, you should be able to hold them off for a time.

However, the power of a single Array on Shuyun Peak is limited.

Why don't we fall back to our cave residences and use their internal Restrictions to mount a defense? If we can hold out long enough for Peacock Mountain to realize what's happening, we might have a chance!"

Xu Chang'an suggested.

'In this situation, we can't escape,' he thought. 'All we can do is dig in and defend the mountain.'

"Alright!"

Hearing Xu Chang'an's suggestion, Yu Lulu flew directly toward the cave residence.

With the Restriction Token in hand, she could still control the grand array from inside the cave.

And as a Tier Two High-grade Array Master, her own cave residence was naturally filled with numerous Restrictions!

'Just as Xu Chang'an said,' she thought, 'by relying on the cave's Restrictions, we might just have a chance of survival.'

Glancing at the two Great Demons outside Shuyun Peak, Xu Chang'an walked straight into Gray Rat Cave.

He had seen through the Stone Bear Demon's disguise long before.

The demon had been hiding his Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation!

Most critically, in front of Cloud Sea Peak, the Elk Demon Sherri hadn't been negotiating with the Peacock Demon as they had been led to believe.

Instead, she had been under their control from the very beginning!

Outside Shuyun Peak, a cold glint flashed in the Stone Bear Demon's eyes.

'This Gray Rat Demon doesn't know when to quit,' he fumed. 'Once I break this Array, I'll make him wish he were dead.'

BOOM!

The giant axe fell, and the light of the Mountain Protection Array flickered wildly.

The Giant Elephant Demon at his side also began bombarding the Array with its Magical Artifact.

In the skies above Cloud Sea Peak, the Elk Demon Sherri stared in terror at the Peacock Demon before her.

She wanted to speak, but she couldn't move a muscle.

She could only remain where she was, silent and still.

"Such an obedient little thing."

The Peacock Demon laughed with wild abandon.

He wasn't a Law Enforcement Demon from Peacock Mountain, but the leader of this Tribulation Cultivation Force.

Of course he couldn't actually negotiate with the Elk Demon, Sherri. Just a few words of real conversation and the fact that he had no Law Enforcement Token would have been exposed.
