In the three-way melee, Fairy Zi Wei's group and Devil Immortal Qi Jue suddenly appeared and joined the battle, instantly making the situation far more complicated.
"Go hold off the Heavenly Court," Demon Sovereign You Hun commanded openly.
Fairy Zi Wei and Elder Zheng Yuan both attacked, their killer moves surging like tides of light, awe-inspiring and sweeping toward Qin Dingling and the others.
Qin Dingling and her group were all inside Immortal Gu Houses except for Qi Sea Ancestor, so they weren't afraid of You Hun's side providing sudden reinforcements.
However, every immortal of the Heavenly Court was furious to the extreme. They weren't enraged by the betrayal of Fairy Zi Wei and Elder Zheng Yuan—they hated Demon Sovereign You Hun's methods of enslavement.
Everyone in the Heavenly Court had complete trust in the loyalty of Fairy Zi Wei and Elder Zheng Yuan. The immortals all understood that the only reason these two had turned was Demon Sovereign You Hun.
Demon Sovereign You Hun chuckled: "How does it feel when your own people fight your own people? Whether you can save them depends on your skill. Miss this opportunity today, and you may never get another."
Hearing this, the Heavenly Court immortals' offensive faltered yet another few degrees.
Qin Dingling's slender brows tightened like swords, her voice sharp as she ordered: "You Hun is trying to make us hesitate. He wants to buy time. Don't concern yourselves with the lives of Zi Wei and Zheng Yuan! Killing them is setting them free!"
At this critical moment, Qin Dingling demonstrated a leader's big-picture vision and her decisive, unyielding nature.
Hearing this, even Demon Sovereign You Hun raised an eyebrow slightly.
His movements grew even faster as he lunged toward Qing Chou again.
Qing Chou fought him but quickly fell to the disadvantage.
"Stop him!" Seeing that Demon Sovereign You Hun was about to use the same trick again—draining Qing Chou's power—Qin Dingling urgently called for help. "Ancestor, please act!"
Without needing her reminder, Qi Sea Ancestor had already charged toward Demon Sovereign You Hun.
But in the next instant, a torrent of qi burst forth like a surging celestial river, blocking Qi Sea Ancestor's path.
Qi Sea Ancestor halted and focused his gaze on the person who had attacked: "Qi Jue!"
Devil Immortal Qi Jue smiled faintly and blocked the way: "Qi Sea, our last battle was interrupted by the Heavenly Court, and I wasn't satisfied. This time, let us have a fair duel."
The hearts of every Heavenly Court immortal sank.
At this critical moment, Devil Immortal Qi Jue was actually Demon Sovereign You Hun's ally!
What kind of agreement had the two sides reached?
Fairy Zi Wei was also pleasantly surprised—Devil Immortal Qi Jue was absolutely a powerful helper beyond anyone's expectations!
A purple gleam flashed through her eyes, and understanding dawned: "A long time ago, Devil Immortal Qi Jue began purchasing large quantities of inheritances in the Treasure Yellow Heaven, spanning all schools. He's a figure from the Primordial Antiquity who was reborn after the Destiny Gu was destroyed. Using these inheritances, he can quickly catch up with the current great era!"
"The reason Qi Jue is supporting us is most likely that the Master reached a deal with him, selling a massive amount of inheritances."
Fairy Zi Wei's guess was spot-on.
Although Devil Immortal Qi Jue hadn't openly revealed his identity in the Treasure Yellow Heaven, he hadn't done much to hide himself either. His movements and intentions were plain for all to see.
If the Heavenly Court could discover Devil Immortal Qi Jue's activities, how could You Hun not find out?
Due to historical reasons, Devil Immortal Qi Jue and the Heavenly Court could never cooperate. But You Hun was also from the Demonic Path and possessed a vast quantity of inheritances—making him the ideal trading partner for Devil Immortal Qi Jue.
"Fang Yuan, today you have nowhere to run," Demon Sovereign You Hun sneered, once again closing in on Qing Chou's back.
In the next moment, he struck ruthlessly!
Qing Chou roared, but its power was frantically drained by Demon Sovereign You Hun once more. As a Primordial Soul Beast, even with a near-Ninth Transformation Hatred Gu, Qing Chou was completely suppressed by Demon Sovereign You Hun.
Qing Chou's aura plummeted while Demon Sovereign You Hun's spirit surged with vigor.
After draining what he needed, You Hun delivered a vicious kick, sending Qing Chou plummeting downward.
Then, he darted toward Fang Yuan like lightning.
Immortal Path Killer Move—Pure Dream Truth-Seeking Transformation!
The dream realm that had been surrounding the Dragon Palace suddenly lost a massive chunk, transforming into a Pure Dream Truth-Seeking body that flew rapidly into Demon Sovereign You Hun's Immortal Orifice.
Demon Sovereign You Hun actually possessed sufficient Immortal Gu to activate the Pure Dream Truth-Seeking Transformation killer move!
He had deliberately let Fang Yuan be before—clearly possessing the means but not in any hurry to use them. Now, he had temporarily dealt with Qing Chou, used his ally to block the Heavenly Court and Qi Sea Ancestor's side, and once again turned on Fang Yuan!
All the immortals were shaken.
The entire battle had seemed, from beginning to end, to be under Demon Sovereign You Hun's control.
In history, Demon Sovereign You Hun was famous for his bloodlust, but that didn't mean killing was the only way You Hun solved problems. He was equally cold, cunning, and sinister—only in life he had never needed to employ such stratagems, as his own strength alone could crush all opposition.
Now, Demon Sovereign You Hun's strength was not vastly different from his enemies'. Therefore, he was more than willing to employ every trick to bolster his power.
In an instant, a massive amount of dream realm was absorbed by Demon Sovereign You Hun, reclaimed under his control.
Fairy Zi Wei and the others fought the Heavenly Court head-on, while Qi Sea Ancestor battled Devil Immortal Qi Jue, stuck at a disadvantage.
