Chapter 1408: Chapter 668: Wipe Them Out in One Sweep (Part 3)

Isn’t it likely that other Emei teammates have already sneaked into the cave to sever the Earth Vein Qi Core and retrieve the Heavenly Book of Outer Heaven?

Having deciphered this crucial detail, Tie Dan naturally understands in his heart! Emei must not be allowed to succeed and take away all the opportunities. Everything must be seized! He immediately pinches the formula for invisibility and stealthily flits into the cave to investigate!

At this time, a great battle is raging in the sky, and all the demons are spectators, with no mind to attend the feast, allowing Tie Dan to easily blend into the cave mansion.

Well, you wouldn’t believe it, this Dharma King surely knows how to make a grand scene. If you’re holding a reading, just focus on the reading. Instead, five huge banquet tables are laid out to host people.

Yes, after all, it’s a grand feast, and the guests come from all corners, beasts and birds of various kinds. The eighteen demon kings represent various classes and subspecies. If one happens to eat the relatives of any of the guests, it wouldn’t be good; hence, the meat served this time is naturally human.

A quick glance reveals each table has thirty main dishes, stacked in five bowls to form towering piles, accompanied by fifteen cups of alcohol in thin white goblets. Additionally, twenty small plates showcase an array of foods in hair-blood pans. Before the tables, fresh fruits, candied sweets, and fragrant medicines are arrayed, twenty each. Every table is also piled with ring cakes, oil pastries, and date towers, mountains high, with three to five servings of gruel or soup in a bucket and ladles at hand.

A closer look at the banquet shows an astonishing array of delicacies, including tripe slivers, liver slivers, gizzard delicacies, the five treasures, pig’s feet, tongue skewers, pupil slices, lung slices, breast skewers, and steamed quail, along with kidney fritters, fried guts, steamed pig’s feet, triple crisp stew, jade bud stew, belly silk stew, blood paste stew, fresh brain stew—all meticulously crafted, the best choices of the time.

They even used the skins peeled from leftover heads, cleaned and dried them, and painted them nicely to hang at either side of the banquet. It’s convenient for guests to joyfully gorge themselves without concern for staining or tearing their attire, able to change clothes and appear with elegance anytime. Such thoughtful arrangements are indeed commendable.

Witnessing such scenes, Tie Dan can only sigh.

After all, they’ve been marinated; what can be done? However, these demons have learned attire, Dao techniques, arrays, poetry, books, rituals, and joy, naturally adopting exquisite craftsmanship and intricate food preparations.

One can only say demons are demons. Could one truly expect them to learn humanity simply by donning skin and clothing and mastering the Four Books and Five Classics? Now, haven’t they started by feigning humanity already? To think they actually honed culinary skills; who knows how many people they’ve consumed to achieve this mastery...

Seems like the hand has been too lenient; these eighteen beasts must be eradicated. An entire city of ten Divinity Transformations amicably co-exists with such beasts—they should all be obliterated; more must be killed.

Without hesitation, Tie Dan coldly snorted, filling the hall with Death Qi, transforming the banquet’s delicacies into skeletal remains, and with a swift sleeve flip, upturned the tables, toppling the feast, burying the bones under scattered rocks, then traversed into the cave. Upon encountering an attendant demon serving tea and water, he slapped it into a bloody paste. Proceeding to the sect’s forbidden domain, he saw a Taoist Palace floating amidst volcanic lava.

The Taoist Palace was completely black, seemingly a magic treasure, buried in the boiling lava yet neither melted nor burned, existing for countless ages. Outside the Palace, numerous Ancient Dao Scripture runes transformed the Earth Vein’s essence into a mighty whirlwind of Red Evil True Qi, generating protective flames and wind, forming the Palace Protection Array, wrapping Daoist energy, soaring high, blowing across the nine heavens, faintly revealing resplendent light; seven-colored Divine Light radiated indistinctly—likely housing the Heavenly Book amidst.

Tie Dan pondered for a moment, attempting to swing out a palm imbued with Death Qi towards the Taoist Palace. However, the palm wind was blocked by the fiery whirlwind before reaching ten yards, incinerated into ash.

Seeing this situation, Tie Dan recognized the intricacy of the Protective Law Barrier. Not only did it merge with the Earth Vein, creating the Sect’s Grand Formation, but it also contained swirling undercurrents that could easily engulf one into the lava, akin to being trapped within a grand array.

Unless this moment one employed the Red Calamity Escape Technique, possessing supreme expertise, Daoist Skill and Divinity Transformation capabilities, or having the Horizontal Refining Demon Dragon Path physique, to forcibly withstand and charge through it unyieldingly. Otherwise, breaking this array would require at least several days, no wonder those demons dared to brazenly besiege Emei...

Wait? It’s not just him being stuck!

"Wind-breaking Moon-covering!"

In a flash! A stealthy shadow burst forth from the earth! A palm strike aimed directly at Tie Dan’s Hundred Meetings Acupoint!
