"Oh dear, four little princesses, what are you still doing playing here? The Demon Clan is attacking again. Quickly come back with this old woman."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the four sisters. It was an old woman, who was now looking anxiously at the four sisters of the Celestial Serpent Clan.
"Uh..."
The four sisters were stunned by the sudden appearance of the old woman in front of them. They were completely unprepared, and the person suddenly appeared before them.
Was this... a ghost?
Even though their cultivation had reached the Great Saint level, the thought of ghosts still made them feel a chill in their hearts, and their hairs stood on end.
"You... are you human or ghost?"
Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
The old woman, upon hearing this, couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression on her face, saying, "Little Xiaoxiao Princess, it's already this time, and you still have the mind to joke."
The four sisters were immediately shocked. The other party could actually call out Xiaoxiao's (their) name.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the demonic figure in the sky roared, and a powerful energy shot out from his mouth, landing on the defensive array of Sky City.
"Crack!"
The immensely powerful defensive array showed cracks. The old woman's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. She turned to the four sisters and said, "This old woman apologizes for any offense."
Having said that, the old woman waved her hand, binding the four sisters, and then carried them towards the depths of Sky City.
The four sisters didn't know what was happening at this time, but the old woman's strength was unfathomable, leaving them no room for resistance. Moreover, the old woman didn't seem to have any intention of harming them, and their uneasy hearts slowly relaxed.
"What exactly is happening?" Tian Yuanyuan asked, now embracing the identity of "Little Princess" because she already knew that no matter what they said, the old woman would only treat it as a joke and regard them as the little princesses she knew.
Although they didn't know why this was happening, for now, they just needed to play the role of the little princesses well.
"Replying to Yuanyuan Princess, the demon attacking Sky City at this moment is the third demon general under the command of the Primordial Demon Lord, King Poshun, whose strength has reached the Immortal King giant level and is extremely terrifying. This old woman is also not his opponent. The Demon Venerable and the Great Peng Heavenly Venerate are currently restrained by the Primordial Demon Lord and cannot provide assistance," the old woman said.
"Primordial Demon Lord? Wasn't he already sealed?" Tian Xiaoxiao asked with a puzzled expression. They had heard from their martial uncle that the demon suppressed in the Demon Suppression Land was the Primordial Demon Lord, who was sealed by Ye Hongchen in the ancient primordial era, and then emerged a thousand years ago, only to be sealed again by their martial uncle. Their martial uncle had said that the Primordial Demon Lord would be released once every hundred thousand years to temper the creatures of the mortal realm.
But only a little over a thousand years had passed, so how could the Primordial Demon Lord have appeared?
"The Primordial Demon Lord has always existed in the world, and he, along with the Demon Venerable and the Great Peng Heavenly Venerate, are three of the great Immortal Venerate experts. Who could seal him?" The old woman shook her head with a wry smile, only taking it as Little Xiaoxiao Princess being frightened by King Poshun and saying some unimportant nonsense.
"Then..."
"Xiaoxiao!"
Tian Xiaoxiao was about to say something, but Tian Yuanyuan stopped her with a look.
Tian Xiaoxiao held back her words, but her eyes were still full of doubt.
The four girls were connected in their hearts, and they could communicate even without sound transmission.
They exchanged glances with each other, and finally came to a conclusion: they had traveled through endless time and arrived in the most ancient era of the mortal realm.
Although this was unbelievable, they knew that for some powerful individuals, as long as they didn't touch too much karma, they could reverse time at will. However, they seemed to be quite special, not just simply traveling through time, because the old woman in front of them really regarded them as little princesses and even knew their names.
This was their biggest point of confusion.
People traveling through time was one thing, but could their identities also travel through time?
They were known as princesses in the Celestial Serpent Clan, but how could that possibly be related to this period?
Could it be that their father also traveled through time and became one of the strongest experts of this era?
Thinking of their father in the clan, who had become somewhat chubby due to his long-term indulgence in food and neglect of cultivation, the four sisters secretly shook their heads. The possibility of that was zero.
"Is the Demon God the same as the Demon Venerable?" Tian Zhengzheng asked at this time.
"That's right!" The old woman's face revealed a look of reverence.
"This Sky City was built by the Giant Spirit Clan under the guidance of the Demon Venerable. The city has a great array personally arranged by the Demon Venerable, but because of the rush of time, the array is not perfect. After blocking countless invasions by the Demon Clan, its power is not as great as before. Otherwise, no matter how strong King Poshun is, it would be impossible to leave any traces on the array," the old woman said.
"Is there no one in Sky City who is his opponent?"
They looked at the demonic figure in the sky and asked.
"Originally, there was. It was the king of the Giant Spirit Clan, Giant Spirit King. His strength was on par with King Poshun, but unfortunately, three hundred years ago, he was ambushed by the Demon Clan and suffered serious Dao injuries. He is still in slumber," the old woman said.
"Then where are we going now?" Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
"In the depths of Sky City, there is a secret treasure left by the Demon Venerable, which only the four princesses can control. With the power of the secret treasure, it is enough to repel King Poshun."
After the old woman finished speaking, she brought the four sisters to a huge bronze gate.
"Who goes there!"
The bronze gate actually spoke, which stunned the four sisters.
"Old Qing, open your dog eyes and take a good look. Who are they?" The old woman said unceremoniously to the bronze gate.
"Little princesses, aren't they already..."
"Cough cough!" The old woman coughed a few times, and the bronze gate immediately shut up.
The old woman turned to look at the four sisters and said, "This old woman can only send the four princesses here. After you go in, Old Qing will guide you on how to control the secret treasure left by the Demon Venerable. There is not much time left for you. This old woman will now go and delay King Poshun."
After saying that, the old woman turned and left, leaving the four sisters of the Celestial Serpent Clan in a mess.
Until now, they still didn't know what was happening. How were they supposed to control the secret treasure? And what secret treasure was it? They weren't real princesses, so could they control it?
"Rumble!"
Just then, the bronze gate opened automatically.
"Four little princesses, please come in!"
The bronze gate said.
"Big sister, what should we do?"
At this time, the three younger sisters all looked at Tian Yuanyuan, waiting for her to make a decision.
Tian Yuanyuan's expression straightened, and then she said, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Enter!"
After saying that, she took the lead and entered the bronze gate, followed closely by the other three sisters.
"Boom!"
After they entered, the bronze gate closed automatically and then disappeared without a trace.
