Chapter 944: Chapter 944 - 432: Escape (Part 3)

"Blood Demon, why don’t you take the usual path?"

"Call me Lord!" Fang Yu glanced at her sideways.

I endure!

The Gui Yuan Moth Demon gritted her teeth in hatred and muttered, "Blood Demon... Lord!"

"That’s better. By the way, does anyone know the way to Tianyuan Town?"

Is he planning to... return home?

The Gui Yuan Moth Demon had a peculiar expression but didn’t overthink it and led Fang Yu to the gathering place of the Little Demons.

"Lord Blood Demon!"

"Ah! Lord Blood Demon is injured!"

"Is Lord Blood Demon alright?"

Among the cries of Lord Blood Demon, Fang Yu checked his status.

Luckily, he still had a considerable amount of health left; slowly regenerating was enough. As for the hole in his chest, his organs would slowly heal by themselves.

After asking around, many demons knew the way to Tianyuan Town. Returning should be no problem, though he wasn’t sure if Ling Huxiang had survived.

But given his current condition, he had no extra energy to care about others.

The battle with Ye Deyao made Fang Yu aware of some of his shortcomings. He needed to thoroughly research how to become stronger.

...

Atop Red Mountain.

Zuo Lv and Hei Ao stood close together.

Zuo Lv’s eyes were red, having witnessed the cruel world firsthand, with all her Zuo Family members brutally killed by these people.

Her survival depended on being Hei Ao’s vassal, barely staying alive.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. Once we return to Tianyuan Town, everything will be like before," Hei Ao whispered comfortingly, his gaze fixed ahead.

There, the other nine families were already in position, with lightning from the three artifacts and the Artifact Person connected to the ground’s circular array.

But there were still two families engaged in a final skirmish—the Bonfire Gathering and Absolute Sect combo that arrived last.

The Hei Family Elders and the original Mountain Peak Three Giants had intended to eliminate the newcomers and confirm the last ten seats according to the original rank.

Unexpectedly, the newcomers had some strength, making them hesitate to act hastily.

Moreover, Absolute Sect’s reputation made them compromise.

Thus, lacking a top-tier combat team, they chose one family, challenged by the Bonfire Gathering.

With everyone else in position, the Bonfire Gathering also won a spot, smoothly filling the last place.

An ancient ritual requires adherence to ancient rules.

As if receiving ritual recognition, the Bonfire Gathering team emitted light, connected by lightning from the three artifacts.

At this moment, surrounded by the crackling lightning from the floating three artifacts, flames continuously erupted, carving gaps, drawing closer, gradually merging into one!

Buzz!!!

At the instant the three artifacts combined, Red Mountain shook violently, as if on the brink of collapse.

The glows and lightning gathered around the artifacts, the Artifact Person, and the ten teams vanished at this moment.

The ten teams exchanged glances, showing satisfaction.

Because they’ve secured some kind of advantage when the Red Mountain treasure is unlocked; they’ll have more leverage. Certain mysterious mechanisms won’t affect them.

However, each of the ten teams received a different advantage.

But now wasn’t the time to take pride in their gains; it was...

Swish swish swish—

All eyes turned to the only thing floating in midair—the Red Immortal Key formed after the three artifacts combined!

Boom boom boom!

With the loss of power supporting the three Artifact Persons, they fell to the ground, sparking a large-scale chaotic battle...

Some retreated in disarray, some met a tragic end.

Some hastily fled, some claimed the treasure!

Ultimately, the Red Immortal Key fell to a certain family on Red Mountain; only the ten teams might know, while the others remained oblivious...
