His original plan was to swim out of the Immortal Realm along the river on the edge of Yin Yang Peak. The river was connected to the Mortal Realm. As long as he made it to the Mortal Realm, they would not be able to find him even if they dug three feet into the ground. But from the looks of the current situation, slipping away wasn’t that easy.

    “Of course he’s not afraid.” The plain-clothed man said, “The majestic Devil Venerable, when you killed your relatives and friends back then, when did you ever feel so afraid? But since Immortal Realm can kill you once with the Octagonal Devilslayer Array, we can naturally kill you the second time!”

    Lou Muge sneered, “Shi Dou, you always understand things clearly. I have never been afraid indeed.”

    His eyes swept across the crowd, and finally stopped on Zhang Juantong’s face. He said word by word with resounding clarity, “Listen, I, Lou Muge, am proud of my name and stand by my actions. Now that I’ve returned, I will settle all accounts once and for all. As long as I’m alive, I’ll return to the Immortal Realm one day and take Zhang Yingqiu’s rotten life!”

    Zhang Juantong said bitterly, “Don’t even think about it!”

    “Then try to see if you have the ability to stop me!” Lou Muge’s eyes flashed icily. He showed off his golden clothes and wide sleeves, and raised his sword pretentiously.

    “Activate the array!” Shi Dou shouted. Several Immortal Lords behind him dodged and split, Zhang Juantong and Qi Yue took action at the same time.

    Several people spread out and stopped at eight positions around Lou Muge. They surrounded him, moved their palms, and formed the same spell marks. Soon, the white rays of light they emitted connected to each other to form an eight-pointed star.

    When Wen Changchu saw their actions, he leaned into Lou Muge’s ear and asked, “What are they doing?”

    “The Octagonal Devilslayer Array,” Lou Muge replied.

    Lou Muge was stuck in this array back then, and he would definitely not repeat the same mistakes this time. He shook the bell around his wrist, trying to control some people before the array was formed.

    “Ring the bell!” Shi Dou bellowed.

    The bells located in the four directions of Yin Yang Peak responded. The sound was so deafening, and the jingle of the Divine Ghost Bell was instantly suppressed. If the jingle could not be heard, the Divine Ghost Bell would lose its effectiveness.

    Lou Muge really didn’t expect their countermeasure. A moment of astonishment flashed between his brows. He reached out and grabbed Wen Changchu’s wrist, and asked, “Are you good at water?”

    Wen Changchu: “Huh?”

    Lou Muge pointed to the river to the east of Yin Peak, “That river connects to the Mortal Realm. We can flee to the Mortal Realm along the river. They won’t be able to catch up.”

    Wen Changchu was surprised, “…You’re only escaping now? Isn’t it a bit late?”

    Lou Muge shook his head like a rattle. Just as he was about to say that it was not too late, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled.

    The eight Immortal Lords have successfully completed the seal, and the radiance shone in an instant. The white light gathered behind everyone. A large mirror was born from the light. When a corner was exposed, it cast light in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the light reached a dazzling level.

    Lou Muge’s face turned pale when he saw this. He raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said to Wen Changchu, “The mirror hasn’t come out yet. Just kill any one of the eight above that is not pleasing to the eye, and this formation will not be completed.”

    Immediately, he took the liberty of deciding for him. “I think that Qi Yue is very annoying, so let’s kill him.”

    Wen Changchu was nearly blinded by the light. “Easy for you to say. Do you think that Goddess of War, Ze Chen, is dead, huh?”

    At the foot of Yin Peak, there were dense crowds of demons and devils as well as immortals watching the fun. They all sighed in unison. “Lou Muge cannot escape this time.”

    The magic of the Octagonal Devilslayer Array was the eight mirrors. Once the mirrors were fully formed, Lou Muge would have nowhere to go even if he wanted to escape.

    He was really anxious now. He took off the bell on his wrist, and said to Wen Changchu, “Give me more power.”

    A white light condensed in his palm, and he infused it into the Divine Ghost Bell. The divine power in the bell was connected with his power. However, the soft jingle rang against the ear-splitting clang and could not make it out at all.

    Wen Changchu mobilized his strength, and a dark purple light gathered from his arm and rushed towards the palm of his hand. He placed his palm on Lou Muge’s right arm, and the two powers magically merged together, infused into the bell together, and the bell floated into the air. Its jingle also got louder.

    From the radiance of eight mirrors shining together, the dark light emanating from the circumference of the Divine Ghost Bell strongly tore apart the net formed by the mirror light. Thereafter, a clear bell finally overshadowed the sound of the bell and reached the ears of the crowd.

    This sound, however, was enough to stun one person who was forming the seal, and one white ray was quickly snuffed out.

    Ze Chen shook her head with a smile, spread her wings, and rolled out two strong winds. She shouted loudly, “Hundred Birds Contend!”

    Lou Muge’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, inwardly muttering, Oh no.

    At the same time as her voice fell, birds gathered from all directions, chirping at the same time. More and more flocked together, and soon thousands and tens of thousands filled half of the sky. The darkness was overwhelming, and the bird calls were shrill and piercing. Mixed with the clanking bell, it hurt the people’s ears.

    The Divine Ghost Bell was suppressed again.

    Lou Muge couldn’t hold it any longer. He covered his ears and said in pain, “I’m going deaf!”

    Wen Changchu only saw his mouth move, but couldn’t hear what he said. He shouted, “What did you say?!”

    “Don’t yell! It’s noisy enough already!” Lou Mugo snapped angrily.

    “I can’t hear clearly!” Wen Changchu roared again.

    Lou Muge’s ears hurt so badly, he felt that he was going to faint from the bedlam the next moment. He quickly pinched his hand to keep awake. Without power to support it, the Divine Ghost Bell fell down and was caught in Wen Changchu’s hand.

    With Ze Chen’s help, the light of the Octagonal Array gathered quickly, and the mirror was completely formed from the white light.

    “Sunburst!” Shi Dou ordered again.

    But this time, no one could hear him. The eight mirrors stood opposite each other, and the light was blinding.

    It was really noisy, and even the people standing under the mountain felt as if their ears would suffer. They blocked their hearing by casting spells, but few people could resist the chirping of the birds’ contention. Nevertheless, they endured the chirping of thousands of birds to watch the fun.

    Seeing that no one followed orders, Shi Dou could only float to the center of the eight mirrors. With a flip of his hands, he visualized a round light-bearing bead. He lifted the bead high, and the light was instantly released, with a strong golden light reflected by the eight mirrors. The dark and gloomy Yin Peak was illuminated everywhere with incomparable brightness, as if the earth was shining.

    Lou Muge was still pinching himself. When he was suddenly stabbed with the brightness, painful tears were left. “My eyes!”

    Wen Changchu raised his palm and dispersed a layer of dark light to surround the both of them. He temporarily blocked the light and checked on Lou Muge, “Are you alright?!!”

    Before the fight started, Lou Muge felt that his physical and mental suffering have already cost him half of his life. He replied weakly, “Don’t yell in my ear.”

    Wen Changchu could only see his mouth moving, but he didn’t hear the sound, so he redoubled his efforts cleverly. “Speak louder! I can’t hear you!!”

    Lou Muge couldn’t hold it anymore. He touched his ear and saw bright red blood on it. The gorgeous face was now distorted by the pain.

    Although Wen Changchu couldn’t hear him, but seeing his bleeding ears, he realized that he was in pain because of this, so he put his hands on his ears and cast a spell to heal his wounds.

    It was just that the chirpings and the bells haven’t stopped for a moment. Even if he was cured, his eardrums would be crushed again, and the pain would recur.

    In fact, the people around them were also uncomfortable. These bird calls were indiscriminate attacks. They must be strong enough to block the chirps, but among so many people in the list, few people couldn withstand Ze Chen’s move. The ears of several immortals who cast spells, including Shi Dou, were dyed red.

    The light from the eight mirrors was interwoven with each other, gradually forming a huge net, and slowly pressing down.

    This net was invisible, but it actually weighed thousands upon thousands of kilograms. When it fell on Lou Muge’s shoulder, it immediately bent his leg. He almost knelt down. He saw Wen Changchu stretching his hand, but he too failed to stop the net from weighing down.

    Wen Changchu’s face reddened. His hands were shaking, and he complained, “What is this?! It’s so heavy!”

    Lou Muge was afraid hand would get hurt, so he hurriedly grabbed it. “Don’t hold it!”

    Couldn’t hear, couldn’t hear, Wen Changchu basically couldn’t hear him at all. He was inflamed and equally anxious, and with his temper always been irritable, his body performed to its peak that he actually lifted the light net upwards. He shouted, “I told you to speak louder! I really can not hear you, ah!!!”

    Simultaneously, Wen Changchu’s power rushed to the eight Immortal Lords forming the seal above. They were more or less injured, but they infused more strength to push the net down.

    Wen Changchu held on, not giving in half a point. Hence, the dazzling light net froze for a while.

    The crowd below discussed animatedly, and even gathered together in twos and threes to make a bet.

    “This Lou Muge must have come well prepared. Look at the person beside him, one person can resist eight immortals. He must be a really powerful character!”

    “You really have little knowledge. That’s Wen Qingmian’s son, so he’s naturally amazing.”

    “Who is Wen Qingmian?”

    “The current Lord of the Devil Realm, don’t you know this either? Lou Muge was friends with him back then, and now that he has returned to the world, presumably the Devil King is also behind him. This is simply declaring war with the two God and Immortal Realms!”

    “Back in the days, Lou Muge’s fire almost destroyed this splendid immortal city. On his return this time, I’m afraid he won’t be merciful!”

    “But look, the net is about to go down! It’s so noisy up there, he won’t last.”
