After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Xu Qingman and her husband were unaware of the gossip surrounding them among the villagers of Qingshi Village, nor did they care.

At this moment, they had arrived at the place where the group of demonic cultivators had settled, the home of the town mayor of Shili Town.

Seeing the town mayor's family in such a terrible state, with some dead and others injured, the two men didn't waste any words and directly wiped out the entire group.

Furthermore, they once again searched the soul of the Heavenly Demon Sect elder stationed here, the Demon Cultivator Burning Heaven Demon, who was already at the Desire Stage (equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage of a Dharma Cultivator), and thus learned that the Heavenly Demon Sect actually had the idea of ​​occupying the Blazing Flame Kingdom.

If it weren't for the couple's encounter, the Heavenly Demon Sect planned to disperse its disciples to various cities and towns in a few months, slowly developing its followers and eventually eroding the entire kingdom.

The demonic cultivators in Shili Town were sent out by the upper echelons of the Heavenly Demon Sect as a pilot project. Once they achieved good results after a period of time, they would officially launch their campaign to dominate the Blazing Flame Kingdom.

Xu Qingman and her husband felt that these demonic cultivators were incredibly audacious. As cultivators, they actually dared to have such thoughts about the mortal world and to arbitrarily torture and kill mortals.

Aren't they afraid that when they ascend to heaven in the future, their karma will be too heavy to withstand the punishment of heavenly lightning?

Or perhaps these people never even considered ascending to immortality, and only wanted to remain in the mortal realm to become kings or emperors?

Leaving behind two bottles of healing medicine, the couple headed straight for the Heavenly Demon Sect's lair.

Following the memories of the demonic elder who had taken over the town mayor's house in Shili Town, Xu Qingman and her husband quickly found the Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters located in Blackwater Mountain, Dongyang Town.

Soon after entering the mountains, one can feel the extremely dense demonic energy in the air.

These people are truly wicked; they didn't even set up any formations to shield the demonic energy, letting it spread everywhere.

Fortunately, it was them who went into the mountain. If an ordinary mortal had accidentally wandered in, just a little bit of demonic energy would have caused them to fall seriously ill or have their appearance drastically changed, or even die suddenly.

As they got closer to the Heavenly Demon Sect, they could see that several nearby hilltops were covered with blood-red array flags.

Hearing the wailing screams carried on the wind, and the blood-red demonic mist that almost stained half the sky, it was clear that a huge evil formation was set up here.

Fearing they might accidentally inhale demonic energy, the two stopped outside the formation, each donning a top-grade magic robe and then applying a high-level exorcism talisman that could isolate them from any demonic energy.

After taking all necessary safety precautions, the two resolutely stepped into the battle formation.

It wasn't that they were foolish enough to send themselves into the formation, but rather that the entire Heavenly Demon Sect was enveloped in this giant formation, and to break the formation, they had to enter it first.

The two had already carefully observed the formation from outside, and this was indeed the Netherworld Soul Devouring Formation, a formation that terrified the cultivation world.

Legend has it that to successfully set up this formation, one must first collect the blood of 7,777 women and soak 7,777 formation flags in it for one day.

After 9981 days, the array flags made of fresh blood will be taken out and arranged according to their positions. Furthermore, the more than 7,000 souls whose blood was drawn earlier will not be allowed to return to the underworld, but will become part of the array and permanently protect it.

Even more sinister is that what powers this formation is neither spirit stones nor demonic stones used by demonic cultivators, but the souls of the purest boys and girls in the world.

Therefore, once the Netherworld Soul Devouring Array is officially activated, forty-four pairs of wronged young men and women must be added to it every month.

That's why the people in the cultivation world attacked the Heavenly Demon Sect when they learned about this evil formation.

Furthermore, there are few people in the entire cultivation world who are unfamiliar with the appearance of the Netherworld Soul Devouring Array. All the seniors in the cultivation world will warn their juniors that as long as they see this array, they must find a way to destroy it.

Such an evil formation, which is contrary to the laws of nature, would not be something that even the sects of the demon realm would dare to touch casually.

As a woman, Xu Qingman was so angry when she thought of the more than seven thousand innocent women that she wanted to tear the person who set up the formation to pieces immediately.

As soon as the two entered the formation, the members of the Heavenly Demon Sect at the center of the formation sensed them, especially the Heavenly Demon Sect leader, Chi Tian Xue Mo, who controlled the formation, and knew as soon as the two approached.

The Crimson Blood Demon was originally the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He happened to be away when the Heavenly Demon Sect was destroyed a hundred years ago and luckily escaped with his life.

When he learned that the Heavenly Demon Sect no longer existed, he went into hiding and took in more than a dozen other Heavenly Demon Sect disciples.

Seeing that the major sects had not given up their pursuit, the Crimson Blood Demon led the remaining people to flee to the mortal realm.

It took this group nearly a century to finally grow their disciples to a number of thousands.

Last year, after the Crimson Blood Demon broke through to the Demon General level (early stage of Integration), he felt that his abilities were already very powerful. Moreover, since this was the mortal realm, he was not afraid of attracting high-level cultivators. So he suddenly had the idea of ​​becoming an emperor.

As for cultivating and ascending to immortality, he no longer dared to even think about it.

Because he had killed too many innocent people in his life, he knew in his heart that he would not be able to escape the punishment of Heaven when he faced tribulation in the future.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well make the rest of my life as comfortable as possible.

So, just over half a year ago, he set up the Netherworld Soul Devouring Array, which had caused the sect's destruction, in this mountain array.

Crimson Heaven Blood Demon was quite satisfied with the benefits brought by this grand formation. In just over two months since its activation, the cultivation levels of his disciples had all increased rapidly.

As for himself, since he had already reached such a high level of cultivation, it wouldn't be so easy for him to advance further.

Knowing that he already possessed the cultivation of a Demon General, and that he had two Nascent Soul cultivators, three Infant Demon cultivators, and several Devourer cultivators, he wasn't afraid at all when Xu Qingman and her companion came to his door.

Upon entering the formation, the two found themselves in an environment filled with swirling blood mist, surrounded by constant screams and howls of agony.

The air was thick with ghostly and demonic energy, and even though I was wearing top-quality magic robes, I still felt a chilling sensation that sent shivers down my spine.

If you didn't know this was the human world, you'd think you'd accidentally wandered into the underworld.

Yu Jinchen instructed his wife, "Manman, this formation is too vicious. You must be careful in everything you do."

After saying that, he quickly threw out a few demon-slaying talismans, and the icy feeling all over his body finally subsided a little.

Afterwards, the two tried to coat the sword with spiritual energy and slash at one direction of the formation, but it was like throwing a bull into a muddy sea, with no effect whatsoever.

The Crimson Blood Demon was very confident in his formation and completely ignored the actions of the couple, instead sitting steadily in the Demon Palace within the formation and watching.

The two attacked using various methods, but they couldn't even break into the Heavenly Demon Sect's stronghold inside the formation, let alone destroy it.

"Jinchen, this won't work at all. It's just a waste of spiritual energy. We need to find the core of the array or its weak point first."

Yu Jinchen nodded in response, "Yes, I also think we can't force our way in anymore."
