My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Huang Laomo made a decisive move, retreating abruptly.

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed out a jet-black, shiny bead.

The bead suddenly exploded in mid-air, instantly releasing a thick, inky black mist. The mist churned and surged, swallowing all light, even obscuring Chu Lengyu's vision and consciousness.

Chu Lengyu stood still, her expression calm.

She opened her mind to the fullest extent and continued to take in all the changes around her.

Old Demon Huang must have a backup plan, and she was well aware of this, having already devised a countermeasure.

Sure enough, amidst the billowing black mist, a murderous aura quietly emerged.

Under the cover of black mist, Huang Laomo appeared silently behind Chu Lengyu like a ghost, a jet-black dagger in his hand gleaming coldly, aiming straight for her heart.

However, Chu Lengyu's reaction was faster than he had expected.

She swayed slightly, narrowly avoiding Huang Laomo's fatal blow.

Immediately afterwards, she swung her hand back, and the silver light of her long sword fell, directly splitting the black mist in two.

The black mist dispersed, revealing Huang Laomo's astonished face.

Chu Lengyu's sword tip was now firmly pointed at Huang Laomo's throat.

Her eyes were icy, and her voice was crisp and cold: "Your methods are nothing special."

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed across Old Demon Huang's face.

He retreated quickly, instantly creating distance between himself and Chu Lengyu.

Then, he muttered incantations, his fingers flying, forming a series of complex hand seals, once again commanding the puppets and demonic insects to surge towards Chu Lengyu like a tide.

Chu Lengyu appeared calm and composed, but she knew in her heart that this battle was far more difficult than she had imagined.

This old demon Huang has a variety of tricks up his sleeve: talismans forming arrays, puppets running rampant, demonic insects attacking, poisonous fog spreading, assassinations from behind... In a short while, he has already used several of these methods.

Chu Lengyu thought to herself: Fortunately, he is only a Nascent Soul cultivator and has not yet entered the Divine Transformation realm, otherwise this person would probably be even more troublesome and difficult to deal with than Ji Ying.

She laughed and said, "Your companions have all perished. I will send you down now so you can reunite with them!"

As she spoke, she moved and launched an attack on Old Demon Huang, her sword flashing and exuding a chilling aura.

Huang Laomo was thoroughly enraged by Chu Lengyu's provocative words. His face darkened, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he roared, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the lower realm dares to spout such nonsense here!"

He roared, his aura suddenly surging, and he launched a full-scale attack on Chu Lengyu without holding back.

With a wave of his hands, the puppets and demonic insects became even more ferocious, and the poisonous mist spread out.

Fortunately, she had a treasure to deal with it, otherwise she would have had a real headache.

"Youngster, don't be so arrogant. Watch how I deal with you today!" Old Demon Huang's words were filled with murderous intent.

With a flick of his finger, he activated a small cyan sword, and a cyan beam several feet long shot out.

However, the person in front of her vanished without a trace in an instant. The azure light only had time to pierce through the white crystal where she had been standing, making a crisp "bang" sound, and shards of stone flew everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Old Demon Huang's expression changed.

He immediately turned around, becoming alert. At the same time, his hands moved rapidly, and defensive talismans flew out, instantly erecting three layers of shimmering spiritual light around him, firmly protecting him within.

Just then, Chu Lengyu appeared silently behind him, her long sword as clear as autumn water. With a flash of light, it collided with the golden light shield behind Huang Laomo.

With a "crack," the golden light shield shattered instantly, as fragile as porcelain.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Chu Lengyu launched an even fiercer attack, her sword strikes like a rainbow, forcing Old Demon Huang to retreat continuously.

Huang Laomo exerted all his strength, continuously stacking layer after layer of spiritual energy shield.

At the same time, array flags flew out of Chu Lengyu's storage bag and embedded themselves in the surrounding mountain walls.

The array plate in her hand shone brightly, with runes flashing and sparkling like stars.

Even if the hasty deployment is ineffective, it can still create a certain degree of enemy containment.

When Huang Laomo caught sight of the array plate, his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Once trapped by the formation, deep underground, one becomes like a turtle in a jar, with no way to escape.

Therefore, he made a quick decision and decisively lunged to the side to avoid Chu Lengyu's attack, while ordering the puppets to move forward to create an opportunity for him to escape.

He knew in his heart that even if it meant getting injured, he had to escape and could not allow himself to be trapped in a desperate situation.

At this moment, Old Demon Huang had already begun to consider retreating.

He had a vague feeling that he had underestimated this female cultivator from the lower realm from the very beginning, and that continuing the fight might not be good.

"It would be best to withdraw first and then make further plans," Old Demon Huang thought to himself, his eyes gleaming.

He recalled Ji Ying and the others, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart, but he believed that they were by no means ordinary people and would not perish easily.

Unless they turn against each other because of the waters of the Demon Abyss, it will be extremely difficult for this female cultivator to deal with them.

Thinking of the waters of the Demon Abyss, Old Demon Huang's expression grew even more gloomy.

He had been searching for this item for years and could not afford to lose it.

A moment later, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the foot of the misty mountain, the ground shook, and rocks flew everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, two streaks of light, one yellow and one white, chased after it.

Sword flashes occasionally slashed down from the sky, talismans exploded, and demonic insects buzzed.

The battle intensified, with each side exchanging blows and displaying their unique skills.

Both were at the late Nascent Soul stage, and their strengths were evenly matched, resulting in a stalemate where neither could easily defeat the other.

As a giant of the demonic path, Huang Laomo has a wide variety of methods, which are endless and dazzling.

Chu Lengyu, undeterred by the losses, fought to the bitter end.

When Huang Laomo spared no expense and used the Blood Burning Secret Technique in an attempt to escape, Chu Lengyu ordered without hesitation to have a certain unused magic weapon self-destruct.

Suddenly, the magic weapon flew out, bursting into a dazzling light in the air before shattering with a deafening roar. The massive energy fluctuations instantly interrupted Old Demon Huang's progress in performing his secret technique.

The sudden self-destruction of the magic weapon startled Old Demon Huang. Although he had already summoned a shield and demonic insects to protect himself and shield himself from most of the damage, he still suffered some backlash from the interruption of his secret technique, and his figure froze.

He turned back hatefully, glared fiercely at Chu Lengyu, and then continued to consume his essence and blood to activate his secret technique.

A flash of red light appeared on his body, and in an instant he transformed into a streak of blood-red light, accelerating his escape.

Chu Lengyu then merged with the sword, suddenly disappearing from the spot and giving chase.

Two streaks of light streaked across the sky like shooting stars, one after the other, leaving behind dazzling trails.

This extraordinary phenomenon attracted the attention of many mortals on earth, who all looked up in awe and reverence.

In the blink of an eye, the two streaks of light had already chased after them for over a thousand miles.
