<h4>Chapter 1544: Chapter 1541: Discovered by the Otherworldly Demons</h4>


    Darkness descended, and the world was silent as if the entire universe was shrouded in a mysterious ck veil.


    The people in the secluded valley unconsciously held their breath, feeling the oppressive atmosphere and daring not to breathe aloud.


    Suddenly.


    A deafening roar shattered the silence.


    The sound seemed to originate from the depths of Hell, carrying endless anger and fury, shaking people’s hearts.


    Every roar was like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of those present.


    Causing their heartbeats to quicken involuntarily.


    Although everyone was hiding within the formation.


    No one knew if this formation could hold out until tomorrow morning.


    "Eat, drink, and don’t let your worries get to you. If a man dies and hangs upside down, it’s no big deal, so why make yourself overly anxious?" Xu Wendong said casually, then distributed food to everyone.


    The crowd took the food Xu Wendong handed them and gathered together to eat in silence.


    Meanwhile.


    The roaring outside the valley grew louder.


    Even thudding sounds echoed in session.


    Those were the sounds made by the otherworldly demons running outside.


    Their heavy and powerful footsteps were urgent and chaotic.


    Causing a sense of unease.


    "The outside world really isn’t peaceful!" Han Hexiang murmured, a strong sense of unease spreading in his heart.


    As the roars continued to sound.


    The entire ground began to tremble slightly.


    The surrounding mountain peaks of the secluded valley seemed to shiver under this terrifying force, with rocks tumbling down and making crackling noises.


    Lu Shuling’s expression was serious: "By the sound of it, many otherworldly demons are approaching us."


    "Could it be that the otherworldly demons have discovered our hiding ce?"


    As soon as these words were spoken.


    The atmosphere at the scene immediately became oppressive.


    Everyone’s eyes revealed deep unease.


    They prayed to the heavens, hoping their luck was not that bad.


    "Young Master Xu, when will you reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm?" Si Yao curiously nced at Xu Wendong because she distinctly remembered Xu Wendong saying that as long as he could enter the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he would have a way to survive.


    Xu Wendong shook his head, his brow full of helplessness: "I don’t know when I can enter the Heavenly Immortal Realm."


    He had long been at the Earth Immortal Peak.


    But there were no signs of a breakthrough.


    "I have a suggestion." Lu Shuling spoke up, her face flushed, her voice tense: "Let Junior Brother Xu and Senior Si Yao perform dual cultivation together. That way, he can surely break through the shackles."


    "What?" Si Yao was utterly shocked, evidently not expecting Lu Shuling to make such an outrageous suggestion, which was absolutely uneptable to her.


    Blushing, Lu Shuling said, "Senior Si Yao, you may not know that Junior Brother Xu is proficient in dual cultivation techniques. The stronger the cultivation level of the opposite sex he dual cultivates with, the faster his cultivation level improves."


    "With your Golden Immortal cultivation level, dual cultivating with him will surely help him break through the shackles."


    "This is utterly absurd. I wouldn’t use this method to help him break through." Si Yao snorted in annoyance, though she admired Xu Wendong’s expertise in formations and respected his character.


    But that didn’t mean she wanted to dual cultivate with him.


    Lu Shuling seemed to have guessed Si Yao’s reaction and, blushing, said, "Senior Si Yao, don’t be angry. Dual cultivating with Junior Brother Xu isn’t a bad thing."


    "Because, by dual cultivating with him, we can also benefit."


    "If we are injured, not only can our injuries heal."


    "But even... he can help you break through the shackles and reach the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!"


    Upon hearing this.


    A hint of amazement revealed itself in Si Yao’s beautiful eyes, obviously not expecting so many benefits from dual cultivating with Xu Wendong.


    If she could break through the shackles and reach the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, it would be a tremendously joyous event.


    But at that moment.


    A pair of scarlet and dark green pupils appeared on the surrounding mountains, each exuding a cold and ferocious aura, densely packed, creating a powerful visual impact.


    The moment they appeared, a surge of monstrous demonic qi rose in the sky.


    The heavens couldn’t withstand such aura either and began to distort.


    "We’ve got a bit of bad luck!" Han Hexiang’s face disyed a wry smile, seemingly not expecting to be discovered by the otherworldly demons even while hiding in the secluded valley.


    Xu Wendong feigned calm: "It’s not a big problem; even if we’ve been exposed, this formation can hold until daybreak."


    The roars grew even more intense, countless otherworldly demons surged over the surrounding mountains like a tidal wave, appearing outside the Qiankun Formation.


    Their forms were tall and twisted, some humanoid with sharp ws and fangs, covered in ck scales that glinted eerily in the dim light.


    Some of the otherworldly demons resembled giant beasts, with thick, powerful limbs, and their tails swung like steel whips, making whooshing sounds.


    Their skin was a dark red or dark purple, as if drenched in blood.


    Their eyes emitted a blood-red glow, filled with cruelty and madness, chilling to the bone.


    The ck mist they asionally exhaled seemed to contain poison, corroding anything it touched swiftly.


    Though Xu Wendong and others hid within the formation, seeing so many otherworldly demons surrounding them, every person’s heart was filled with intense fear and unease.


    They instinctively drew their weapons, holding them tightly, ready to confront any threat at a moment’s notice.


    "Unexpected, to encounter humans here!"


    In the darkness, a winged humanoid hovered in mid-air, its blood-red eyes sharp and piercing, its entire being radiating a frenzied aura.


    Though it had wings, it was featherless, looking exceptionally bizarre.


    "This is not good; it’s a Daluo Golden Immortal level otherworldly demon!" Han Hexiang sensed the aura of the humanoid creature, his expression gravely serious.


    Though he too was a powerful being at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.


    However...


    It’s extremely difficult to defeat a strong being from other races.


    "Did you really think we don’t know the Path of Formation?" The humanoid’s scarlet eyes showed a hint of disdain: "You thought setting up a formation would shield you from our sight, not knowing it only served to expose your identity."


    These words sent a tremor through everyone’s hearts.


    They had thought the formation would protect them from the otherworldly demons’ detection.


    But who would have thought, instead of hiding from them, they had actively revealed themselves?


    If that were the case.


    Doesn’t that mean, even if they survive today by a stroke of luck, they won’t be able to reach Biluo Immortal Continent in the future?


    The humanoid’s voice rang out again: "I’ll give you a chance. If you willingly step out of the formation and offer your soul blood, I shall spare your lives."


    "On the contrary, if we break the formation, you will all suffer the pain of dismemberment and soul refinement!" As it spoke, a sh of scarlet cold light glinted in its eyes.
