However, the faces of these Elder Demon Cultivators soon showed signs of hesitation...
This Soul-Sealing Sphere was an extremely important treasure to the entire Tian Yin Sect. And now, to use it just for such a trivial matter truly made one feel heartache!
Of course, the most important thing was, the Soul-Sealing Sphere had been used twice before. If it were to be used one more time, it would shatter directly and lose its effectiveness!
One of the Elders furrowed his brow and said, "This Soul-Sealing Sphere only has one more chance for use. Using it to deal with those three fellows, isn't it a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
Another Elder nodded in agreement, "That's right. This Soul-Sealing Sphere is very important to our Tian Yin Sect. If it's used up without permission, and the Sect Master finds out, the consequences would be extremely serious!"
"Let's put the Soul-Sealing Sphere back. We must not use it so rashly!!"
"Humph! Our Tian Yin Sect has almost dominated this entire Central State. Even if we used the Soul-Sealing Sphere, who would find out?"
The Elder holding the Soul-Sealing Sphere in his hand raised an eyebrow...
Were all these guys fond of making a big fuss? It wasn't easy for him to bring it out, and now they wanted him to put it back?
Truly fearless of the Sect Master noticing anything amiss!
He rebuked in a scolding tone, "Fools! This Soul-Sealing Sphere is simply for emergencies, not necessarily for use! When the time comes, just put it back!"
The other Elders, upon hearing this, seemed to have an epiphany in their eyes...
Right, to deal with those three at the Saint Realm, and one at the Immortal Monarch Realm, there was no need to use this Soul-Sealing Sphere!
In doing so, they were indeed overthinking!
The Elder gave everyone a glance and said in a chilling voice, "Alright! Everyone get ready. Tonight will be the end of those fellows!!"
With the Tian Yin Sect's treasured Soul-Sealing Sphere at hand, the only fate for those fellows was death!!
...
Meanwhile, the Cloud Devouring Beast, gasping for breath, said, "These Demon Cultivators are like cockroaches; no matter how many you kill, you can't kill them all. This lord has stomped to death who knows how many!"
Even though it was empowered by Xu Sheng's Divine Power, increasing its strength, wave after wave kept coming, and anyone would be overwhelmed!
Duanmu Lian's complexion looked grim as she said, "Yes, these Demon Cultivators are really desperate, constantly trying to hunt us down! It's really annoying!"
Zhou Qingruo pondered and said, "After being wanted for so long, I'm afraid that the so-called Tian Yin Sect should also make a move soon!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes looked towards the sky and chuckled, "No, it's coming right now!"
And they're bringing a laughable treasure with them!
Of course, to myself, it's just that—a ridiculous object. But for others, it truly poses a threat to their lives!
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo didn't show any surprise. Clearly, they were both aware of Xu Sheng's formidable sensory abilities!
One could say that every move of the Tian Yin Sect was under his observation...
But the Cloud Devouring Beast was clueless. Upon hearing this, it asked with a puzzled face, "What are you talking about? This lord doesn't understand at all."
Coming right now?
What's coming right now?
The Tian Yin Sect that's offering a reward for them?
Xu Sheng laughed and had no intention of explaining, "It's nothing, you're just a Monster Beast. It's normal that you don't understand."
Hearing this, the Cloud Devouring Beast felt as though its dignity had been insulted and yelled angrily, "Damn it!! This lord is a Monster Beast with intelligence! Not the same as those ordinary beasts!!"
Those beasts that can't even talk, what right do they have to compare themselves with me!
This isn't even on the same level, is it?
Duanmu Lian spoke with extreme apology, "What are you strutting about for! Without Xu Sheng's Divine Power to back you up, you're not even as good as a regular Monster Beast! At least the latter is aggressive!"
Zhou Qingruo also didn't hold back and sneered, "Yeah! Without the blessing of Divine Power, the Cloud Devouring Beast isn't even strong enough to kill a Monster Beast of the Earth Immortal Realm!"
For such an arrogant creature, you have to destroy its pride from the root; otherwise, it will get cocky over the smallest advantage!
The Cloud Devouring Beast gritted its teeth and turned its head, saying, "This lord certainly won't argue with two women who have no vision! Even without Divine Power's blessing... I... once I reach the Emperor Realm, I'll be able to use my true strength!"
The last part of his statement clearly sounded somewhat hollow...
As the conversation went on peacefully, night fell quickly...
Suddenly, fierce winds rose all around, and above Xu Sheng and the others, there appeared several Elders from the Tian Yin Sect dressed in black robes!
They all looked down on Xu Sheng and his companions with cold and murderous eyes...
Xu Sheng looked up calmly, gazing at the several dark figures above, and said, "So you've come already?"
Duanmu Lian immediately used her Spiritual Power to sense their strength and said in surprise, "The six Demon Cultivators before us are all from the Saint Realm!!"
Who would have thought that the Tian Yin Sect would have so many powerful members; it's no wonder that the overall strength of this part of Central State is stronger than the other!
Zhou Qingruo didn't speak, but her quickened breath betrayed a sense of caution!
Only the Cloud Devouring Beast upon seeing those familiar faces, its beastly eyes suddenly lit up, "Hmm? Aren't those the two Demon Cultivators that fled injured?"
This time! They must not be allowed to escape!
The leading Elder Demon Cultivator began with an utterly cold tone, "We have finally found you! I didn't expect you to escape so many Demon Cultivators' hunts! Should I praise you for your luck, or for your stupidity!"
The rest of the Demon Cultivators also chimed in, "Hmph! Not even one person is missing! Those Demon Cultivators are really useless!"
"It's also within our expectations. Otherwise, how could we personally deal with these three and that exceptionally ugly Monster Beast!"
A Demon Cultivator who had been injured by the Cloud Devouring Beast gritted his teeth and said, "Don't underestimate this ugly Monster Beast; we were injured by it!"
Xu Sheng's expression didn't change as he chuckled, "Although I do not know where your confidence comes from, it's likely that similar 'mirror' artifact, isn't it?"
Scaring these guys from time to time is quite amusing!
Upon hearing this, all the Demon Cultivators' faces drastically changed...
"What?! How did you know we brought the Tian Yin Sect's treasure, the Soul-Sealing Sphere!"
"Is there a traitor in our Tian Yin Sect?? Damn it!"
"This guy! How did he find out? If I catch the traitor who informed him, I will torture him to death!"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Don't be so nervous! Let me use that thing for you!"
Having said that, he channeled a bit of Spiritual Power into the Soul-Sealing Mirror he had somehow procured without anyone noticing!!
In an instant, a pitch-black beam of light shot out from the Soul-Sealing Sphere...
One of the Demon Cultivators cried out in alarm, "That's... the... Soul-Sealing Mirror?? Get out of the way!"!
