For a moment, there was no response. Julius waited, suspecting that the person he was wary of was following him, hoping they would reveal themselves. However, despite waiting for a long time, the person in question did not appear. Julius grew increasingly anxious and decided to quicken his pace, resuming his journey. Once again, he sensed someone following him.As Julius moved faster, he felt the person trailing him running even faster. The young man felt as though he was being toyed with by the individual following him. He halted his steps and turned back. Once again, he saw no one else in the vicinity, although he could clearly feel the emanation of their energy.“I know you’re here! Why are you such a coward, unwilling to reveal yourself? Aren’t you the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Foxes? Do you still feel indebted to me for saving you, hence following me all the way here?” Julius shouted.Still, there was no movement or sign of the person about to reveal themselves. This naturally inf

“Leon Elias Cros, it would be best for you and the entire city to surrender peacefully. Then we will allow you to leave the city safely. The condition is that you leave only with food and clothing, while your belongings must be left in this city!”A man dressed in all yellow shouted from the direction of the Demon Sect. It seemed he was the leader of the attack on the city of Citrine Canyon. Indeed, among the members of the Demon Sect, there were three people dressed in all yellow. However, only one person wore a golden headband, while the other two wore green headbands.Among the members of the Demon Sect, there were also about ten people dressed in all green. Meanwhile, those dressed in all black numbered around 120 people. It could be said to be a sizable force to attack a city. Moreover, the average cultivation level of that force was above the realm of heavenly spirit martial arts.On the side of the city of Citrine Canyon, there were also many martial practitioners in the semi-s

Witnessing the ferocity of the attack, the man dressed entirely in yellow with a golden headband instructed his men to take a step back. Slowly, they retreated towards their leader, who was beginning to edge forward. The man clad in yellow with the golden headband then swiftly launched an attack towards the fox spirit in the form of light.The man in yellow immediately employed advanced techniques in attacking the giant fox-like light entity. He was astonished when his attack hit its target only to vanish. He realized that the light was merely a shadowy form of its true essence, whose whereabouts were unknown. Naturally, the man in yellow with the golden headband grew furious.“I never expected a practitioner who claims to hail from Master Leon Elias Cros’s to collaborate with a spirit to defend his city. What’s the difference between that spirit and us, disciples of the demon sect, who also seek world domination?” mocked the man in yellow with the golden headband at Leon Elias Cros.

“It turns out my suspicion was correct; finally, that young man has fallen. Truly a reckless young man!” muttered the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen.Seeing Julius in danger, the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen darted towards the young man. Just as the Bloody Demon King’s form was about to trample the young man, she arrived and immediately attacked the towering red figure. The attack, fueled by less than half of her strength, sent the Bloody Demon King’s form flying, pierced by dozens of spears.The cultivation level of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen was still far above that of the Bloody Demon King’s manifestation. The girl in all white was in the ninth realm of the Heavenly God’s spirit, while the Bloody Demon King was only in his third realm. This striking difference naturally affected the strength they possessed.Seeing the appearance of the Fox Demon, Leon Elias Cros, who had been worried about Julius’s condition – fearing the young man’s defeat would mean their own – felt relieved. Th

“Is there no other way?” Julius asked, half-desperately.“I don’t know of any other way besides enduring the intense fire attacks from the eternal fire crater, using the power of water element, or mastering the control over the fire element perfectly. Besides that, there’s no other method that I know of,” Lien Chapelle replied.“What about teleportation techniques?”“Those techniques won’t work here. The eternal fire power emitted by the red firestone, the manifestation of the red fire bird, can lock down any technique. Don’t you know that the Red Phoenix is one of the God’s creatures, possessing a realm on par with the God Emperor?”This time, Julius’s hope for an alternative path to enter the fire crater had completely vanished. The Nine-Tailed Fox Queen’s statement that there was no other way to enter the fire crater left him slightly desperate. The girl stated that the only way to reach the bottom of the fire crater was by either controlling the eternal fire within it or by creati
