Hou Niao instantly sensed something wrong, his Divine Sense shouting urgently, "Aunt Nineteen, retreat!"

Aunt Nineteen, being an ancient Holy Beast, had senses not inferior to his. That dazzling starlight was precisely the treasure the Demon Clan used to control the Continent, an extraordinary artifact from Outer Space.

Although she didn't know what consequences it would bring, her intuition told her it was dangerous.

She wasn't someone ignorant of when to advance or retreat. Upon hearing his words, she immediately shifted her momentum to the side, preparing to temporarily withdraw.

But no matter how fast she was, she couldn't outpace the starlight; their momentum was too strong, and the distance too close. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Hou Niao was the most perceptive among the three. If it were a battle, he was confident he could forcibly break away, but he didn't want to leave his two friends in inexplicable danger. With just a moment's hesitation, the starlight lit up, enveloping both sedan chairs and Hei Fu in its glow. The tens of thousands of demons could only see the starlight enveloping the area around Minggu Mountain, appearing as a thin layer yet obscuring whatever was happening inside.

It was a Barrier, the Starlight Barrier.

In the battles of cultivation beings, Barriers are very important tools but usually limited to human use. The Demon Clan seldom masters these aspects, but the starlight was different; it was a miraculous cosmic artifact with exquisite craftsmanship.

The sedan chairs tightly connected the three of them, trapped inside the starlight, able to sense each other's presence. With friends by their side, all hardships seemed bearable, and any previous arguments vanished without a trace.

Now it was simple, no need to overthink, just face it directly.

"The Starlight Barrier is formidable; it's the power from the first star outside the Jinxiu Realm. Once it's locked, there's no escape, but it's purely a Barrier with no additional effects..." Aunt Nineteen calmly pointed out the key points of the Starlight Barrier.

Tan Xiao chuckled, "Formidable? How formidable? Is there any Barrier Aunt Nineteen cannot break?"

Aunt Nineteen glared at him, "Feeling itchy? In this universe, there's no Barrier my ancient clan cannot break... just that, hmm, I need to grow a little more."

Tan Xiao laughed dryly, "So the Winged Snake has us trapped here, thinking it has us figured out? On what basis does it have such confidence? We haven't released the hounds yet!"

Hou Niao stared ahead, "The answer will reveal itself soon. Don't worry, they aren't foolish; I'm thinking you two are the foolish ones!"

Pausing, "Aunt Nineteen, I want you to confirm right now, can we transfer out through the Altar Space?"

Aunt Nineteen unwillingly but obediently listened, sensing briefly, "It should be possible; the Altar Space is still open, and their trial hasn't ended yet."

Hou Niao looked at her seriously, "Aunt Nineteen, I need you to promise me, if things don't go according to plan, you must listen to me and take Tan Xiao away first..."

Tan Xiao shouted loudly, "Why? Do you think I'm a burden?"

Aunt Nineteen hesitated slightly, "And you? Are you staying here to play hero?"

Hou Niao smiled bitterly, "Am I the heroic type? Last time, Jue Mingzi, Lao Du, and I set rules within the Altar Cave Heaven, we all have the right to freely enter the altar, so I'm actually the one who can leave anytime, hehe, I have a way out, do you?"

The two glared at each other wide-eyed, Tan Xiao jokingly scolded, "You sly dog."

Amidst their banter, the starlight space stabilized, shrouded in a blue mist, unaffected by Divine Sense or Mana, yet a seemingly solid barrier loomed afar, impenetrable to them.

Amidst the blue mist, afar, four figures began to manifest and became clearer gradually, revealing aside from the Winged Snake Hei Fu, were also Mao Rixing, Jing Yan, and Kui Lang.

The three became solemn, indeed, this was a trap, the Outer Space demons had already figured out how to deal with them; they hadn't had a chance to display it against the Jellyfish, the Daoists had barely escaped, but for their turn, it wouldn't be as simple.

"That Winged Snake is mine!" Tan Xiao didn't seek more, he knew his powers at most could handle one Outer Space Demon Beast, so he might as well pick the main one.

"I'll keep Mao Rixing occupied." Aunt Nineteen became uncharacteristically serious, life and death battles shouldn't be taken lightly; Mao Rixing was the leader of the Outer Space Demon Beasts, she might not win, but holding it off was possible.

The two didn't hesitate to leave the hardest challenge to Hou Niao. Joking aside, in battle, they had unwavering faith in Hou the dog's abilities.

Though the three had cooperated for some time, it was mainly in movement, their Skill and Divine Skills were vastly different - a Sword Cultivator, a Magic Cultivator, and an ancient Holy Beast making seamless offensive and defensive coordination difficult. It was better for each to fight individually than force coordination.

At this moment, there's no need to keep pretending; the four had surrounded them, a testament to their doubt.

"In that case, let me stir things up."

Hou Niao finally didn't need to play dumb, as the Purple Mansion shook, hundreds of sword beams flew out, and in the next moment, a wave of a thousand sword beams surged toward the four demons.

They decided to act separately, the first priority was to disrupt the opponent's coordination, and nothing was more suitable than Flying Swords for that.

The sword swarm arrived in an instant; although anticipated, the four demons were still angered and startled,

Kui Lang cursed, "I knew it, the Wing Clan colluding with humans, traitors to the Demon Clan!"

Before he could finish, the sword swarm approached with no room for leisurely discussion, the four demons jumped apart, unwilling to face such fierce sword beams alone, Hou the dog's name, over the years had spread through the Jinxiu Continent Demon Clan with infamy.

With the four demons dispersed, Aunt Nineteen and Tan Xiao had already found their chosen opponents, the sword swarm curling back around to trap Jing Yan and Kui Lang, the battle thus commenced.

Jing Yan saw the vicious sword swarm, realizing he couldn't escape, and stopped running. With a stance, he turned his whole body into countless branches as if he himself became a forest, layered and intertwined with roots.

Jing Yan belonged to the Wood Element, this was his innate Divine Skill, the Great Transformation Wood Skill. In this form, he became the forest, and the forest became him.

The Flying Swords cut through the forest, losing their strength amidst countless branches, yet the branches quickly regenerated and grew back, inexhaustible and indestructible.

Suddenly, from within the branches emerged a wolf's head, mouth wide open, lunging toward Hou Niao, its body stretching into a line, one end connected to the wolf's head, the other to the forest.

Hou Niao didn't dodge, with the Purple Mansion releasing another hundred sword beams to collide with the wolf's head, the wolf howled, and sword beams scattered.

It turned out Kui Lang was also of the Wood Attribute, the two foes he faced were naturally compatible.

Very challenging, Hou Niao's interest piqued.
