Chapter 22: Desperate Reversal and Pursuit Plan

Ao Bing first used a powerful water spell to attract the attention of the illusory figure, while Bajie quietly approached from behind. When the illusory figure was about to attack and the black robe fluttered, Bajie seized the opportunity and slammed the nine-toothed rake at the exposed ankle with all his strength. With a "clang" sound, like metal hitting, the illusory figure groaned in pain and lost balance instantly.

Yang Jian and Feng Yao seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yang Jian unleashed his strongest attack. The three-pointed, double-edged sword shone with dazzling light and pierced straight into the chest of the illusory figure; Feng Yao commanded the colorful phoenix to spew out an ultimate flame containing the power of purification, completely covering the illusory figure.

Under the deadly attack of the three people, the illusory figure let out a shrill scream, and the body gradually dissipated, leaving only an unwilling roar echoing in the valley.

Everyone was relieved after successfully repelling the phantom figure. But they knew that this was only the first step to stop the conspiracy of the mysterious forces, and a greater crisis was yet to come. Feng Yao tightly grasped the mysterious scroll and carefully studied the contents recorded in it, trying to find a way to break the seal of the ancient demon god and a way to deal with the evil power behind the scenes.

After some research, Feng Yao discovered that in addition to the method of opening the seal of the ancient demon god, the scroll also contained some obscure clues about the place where the ancient demon god was sealed. "It seems that we have to follow these clues to find the place where the ancient demon god was sealed, make preparations in advance, and prevent them from awakening the demon god." Feng Yao said.

"But the clue is so obscure, it's not easy to find the sealed place." Ao Bing looked worried.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "We can go back to Heaven first and use the immortal books and various magic weapons in Heaven. Maybe we can find more useful information from them." Everyone thought this plan was feasible, so after a brief reorganization, they rushed to Heaven without stopping.

After returning to the Heavenly Palace, they went straight to the Tianshu Palace, where the most ancient and comprehensive immortal books were collected. With the help of the immortal officials guarding the Tianshu Palace, they began to search for clues related to the place where the ancient demon god was sealed in the vast sea of ​​books.

After searching day and night for several days, they finally found some clues in a long-forgotten ancient book. The ancient book recorded that the place where the ancient demon god was sealed was located in a remote place in Xiniu Hezhou, which was called "Netherworld Abyss". It was surrounded by powerful restrictions. If ordinary immortals approached, they would be crushed by the power of the restrictions. Moreover, the Netherworld Abyss was filled with various dangerous mechanisms and powerful guardian beasts left over from ancient times.

"This Netherworld Abyss sounds very dangerous. We may be in great danger if we go there." Bajie scratched his head and said.

"But in order to stop the conspiracy of the mysterious forces, we have to go no matter how dangerous it is." Yang Jian said with a firm look.

After everyone prepared some magic weapons to deal with restrictions and dangers in the Heavenly Palace, they headed towards the Nether Abyss of Xiniu Hezhou. Along the way, they were very careful and did not dare to slack off.

When they came near the Nether Abyss, a strong yin energy rushed over, making people shudder. They saw a dark place in front of them, like a huge black hole, swallowing up the surrounding light. The sky above the Nether Abyss was covered with dark clouds, and from time to time purple lightning flashed in the clouds, making a deafening roar.

"This place really does have an eerie aura to it," muttered Bajie.

Yang Jian carefully observed the surrounding environment and found some weak points of the ban. He took out the magic weapon he brought from the Heavenly Palace and cast a spell with Ao Bing and Feng Yao to try to break the ban. With a flash of light, the ban loosened a little, and everyone took the opportunity to quickly pass through the ban and entered the Nether Abyss.

As soon as they entered the Nether Abyss, a group of wolf-like monsters emitting dark green flames rushed towards them. These monsters were extremely fast and agile, and surrounded everyone in an instant.

"Everyone be careful, these monsters are not easy to deal with!" Yang Jian reminded.

Bajie wielded his nine-toothed rake and took the lead in meeting the enemy. He raked down and created a strong wind, but the monsters nimbly avoided the attack. Ao Bing used the water control technique to try to trap the monsters, but the dark green flames on the monsters could evaporate the water instantly.

Feng Yao rode on the colorful phoenix and commanded it to spit out flames to attack the monsters in the air. However, these monsters seemed to have a certain resistance to flames, and were only slightly hindered, and still rushed towards everyone frantically.

During the fierce battle, Yang Jian discovered that these monsters seemed to be very sensitive to a special kind of music. He remembered a magic weapon he got from the treasure house of heaven - "Soul-Calming Flute", which is said to disturb the minds of evil creatures. Yang Jian quickly took out the Soul-Calming Flute and played it. The melodious and strange sound of the flute echoed in the Netherworld. After hearing the sound of the flute, the monsters became restless and their movements became slow.

Everyone took this opportunity to attack the monster together.
