Chen Changsheng called constellations and coordinates. More precisely, he indicated a position of the Yeshi Step.

The Yeshi Step was the innate supreme skill of the Demon race's Yeshi clan. The Demon Imperial clan could also learn it, but in the past several decades, only Nanke had gained a complete grasp of it. Chen Changsheng had only managed to learn this movement technique by relying on his understanding of the Daoist Canon, indescribably monotonous calculations, and his awareness of the star charts on the Heavenly Tome Monoliths.

After calling out these coordinates, Chen Changsheng shook his right sleeve. The swords howled through the air and blocked the Heavenly Demon Horn that had been stealthily making its way through the darkness. He stepped on a star position and his body vanished. He left the ground, taking step after step into the night sky, making his way to higher and higher altitudes.

The many swords followed him, gradually returning to the sheath along the way.

This was an incredibly beautiful sight, but it was rather meaningless. In a little while when his true essence ran out, he would drop from the sky and be in great danger, and this was not even considering the fact that the thick darkness accompanying the Heavenly Demon Horn was closely pursuing him.

Chen Changsheng did this because he knew that Nanke had understood his intentions.

Just as expected, when he appeared high above the mountain range amongst the frigid winds, Nanke was already there.

She had left two beautiful trails of green light behind her in the sky.

But this was still not enough to leave, as the darkness brought by the Heavenly Demon Horn was gradually engulfing the entire mountain range.

But it was also because in the distant north, Black Robe's finger began to beat on the metal plate like it was a drum.

The icy winds blew against Chen Changsheng's face. He sensed something and tightened the grip on his sword.

Nanke's eyelashes trembled, but her eyes remained indifferent. As she gazed at the deepening darkness, she sensed the ripples of Qi within and understood something.

Although Chen Changsheng was so heavily wounded that even allying with Nanke would not necessarily result in the young Demon Lord's defeat, it logically shouldn't have been difficult to escape.

Yet unexpectedly, this darkness contained several hundred Essence Qi Locks.

The methods that the demons had used to besiege Su Li several years ago were being used tonight by Black Robe to deal with the pair.

Those Qi Locks probably had nothing to do with the Heavenly Demon Horn. Instead, they had probably been spread around by the young Demon Lord through some other method with Black Robe responsible for activating them from the distance.

How could they break through these Essence Qi Locks? Did the Pope of the Human race truly have to be buried together with the Demon Lord?

”Can you really cure it?”

Nanke's voice sounded particularly somber in the frigid winds.

Chen Changsheng saw the resolve in her eyes and understood what she intended to do, but he could not bring himself to answer her.

If he had enough time, he was confident that he could cure Nanke, especially if he had Xu Yourong's help.

But the situation was too dangerous and everyone knew that Black Robe was most skilled at mental attacks. If Nanke completed the second awakening of her soul right now, it was highly likely that her teacher would deal her a serious blow from a thousand li away with disastrous results.

Chen Changsheng was not confident.

Even though she did not hear his answer, Nanke's Qi continued to rise.

Perhaps her question had just been to comfort herself.

The indifference in her eyes had completely transformed into a fervor that bordered on self-destruction.

And then, it began to blaze.

A bright Peacock appeared in the night sky, exuding a green light in all directions.

Its two wings were about a hundred zhang wide. When they flapped, the clouds scattered and the stars fell into disarray while mountains crumbled below!

The several hundred Essence Qi Locks concealed in the darkness were forced to reveal themselves with the appearance of the Peacock's true body.

The Essence Qi Locks in the part of the sky closest to the human lands numbered the fewest and were rather sparsely spread.

The Peacock flew in that direction, crashing through many Essence Qi Locks in its path, its feathers snapping and its Qi raging!
