The four sisters passed through the bronze gate, only to unexpectedly find themselves in a dim space. This space was boundless and without any structures. The ground they stood on felt like the surface of a calm, mirror-like lake. With a gentle movement, faint ripples spread out, traveling far and wide until they disappeared into the horizon.
But… what place was this?
“Where are the treasures? Where are the treasures left by the Demon Venerable?” Tian Xiaoxiao was most concerned about the treasures the old woman had mentioned, but there was nothing here except for her four sisters. Where were the treasures?
“Buzz!”
Just as they were wondering, a huge image suddenly appeared before them. When they saw this scene, they were immediately stunned.
The image showed the Giant Spirit Clan of Sky City resisting the invasion of the Demon Clan.
Sky City was located above the nine heavens, higher than the clouds, allowing a direct view of the great sun in the starry sky. It was a place that could be described as eternally full of light.
But now, Sky City was surrounded by darkness, plunged into a dark abyss.
It was the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan had occupied all nine heavens, numbering in the hundreds of millions.
These Demon Clan members were fearlessly crashing into Sky City's defensive array. Some Demon Clan members entered Sky City through the cracks previously created by the Demon King Bo Xun. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared.
“It's her!”
The four sisters immediately recognized the old woman who had brought them to the bronze gate. They saw the old woman appear outside Sky City, waving her hand, and countless Demon Clan members vanished into thin air. However, the number of Demon Clan members was simply too great, so many that they instantly filled the vacant spots.
“Tianqian Grandmother, you are here, which means those four little girls are in the city. Demon Lord, your predictions are truly divine, hahaha…”
As a burst of wild laughter subsided, a giant hand emitting a ghastly demonic aura descended. Wherever it passed, the void shattered, returning to chaos.
The four sisters' expressions changed slightly when they heard the Demon King Bo Xun address the old woman as 'Tianqian'.
The surname 'Tian' was a very rare surname, at least in the mortal realm. Apart from the Tian Snake Clan, they had not heard of any other race with the surname Tian.
The four sisters exchanged glances, already having some guesses in their hearts, but the doubts in their hearts remained unresolved.
They decided to continue watching. They didn't believe they had come here just to witness this battle of Sky City.
“Demon King Bo Xun, as long as I, Tianqian Grandmother, am here today, your Demon Clan will not step into Sky City!”
Facing the Demon King Bo Xun, the old woman's expression was stern, with none of the kindness she had shown when calling them little princesses. She waved her gray sleeves, and a list emitting a strong golden light appeared above her head. The list suddenly enlarged, colliding with the Demon King Bo Xun's ghastly demonic hand.
“Rumble!”
The giant demonic hand, powerful enough to return the void to chaos, was directly dissolved by the golden light on the list the moment it touched it.
“The Demon Sealing Board!”
Demon King Bo Xun revealed a look of pain. He quickly retracted his hand, his eyes filled with dread as he looked at the golden list.
The old woman stood beneath the list, coldly snorting, and said, “The Demon Lord could foresee that the princesses would be in Sky City, so how could my Demon Venerable not foresee that the Demon Clan would attack Sky City at this time? Demon King Bo Xun, since you have come today, then please get on the list!”
“Humph, the Demon Sealing Board is an Immortal Venerable artifact, how can you unleash its power? If I want to leave today, you can't stop me.”
Demon King Bo Xun coldly retorted.
“You are the third demon general under the Demon Lord. Whether it is for the sake of peace in the world or to protect the princesses, we will risk our lives to keep you here.”
“Array, rise!”
The old woman shouted loudly, and a great array quietly enveloped Sky City. The Giant Spirit Clan within Sky City, upon seeing this, stood on the various nodes of the array, their eyes flashing with a hint of hatred and filled with determination as they looked at the Demon Clan in the sky.
“This is… the Blood Sacrifice Array!”
Tian Zhengzheng suddenly exclaimed. The other three sisters' expressions changed upon hearing this. The Blood Sacrifice Array, as the name implied, used the blood of living beings for sacrifice.
From the dialogue in the image, they could tell that the Blood Sacrifice Array was used to sacrifice the blood of living beings to the Demon Sealing Board, with the aim of suppressing the Demon King Bo Xun and his Demon Clan.
For some reason, when they saw this scene, a sense of sadness arose in their hearts. This sadness was not because of pity, but because of some other emotions interfering with them.
It was as if they were really the little princesses in the old woman's words, and the old woman and the Giant Spirit Clan were like their subjects. Now, their subjects wanted to perish together with the Demon King Bo Xun for the sake of peace in the world and to protect them.
“No!”
Tian Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted, but her voice could not be transmitted, only echoing in this dim space.
The scene in the image changed instantly. Sky City returned to its former light and did not suffer any damage. However, there were no longer any living beings in Sky City, just like when they had just entered Sky City. There were only tall and majestic buildings, but no other signs of life.
Unknowingly, the faces of the four sisters were already wet with tears. They didn't even know why they were crying, but the tears flowed uncontrollably.
“Sister, I'm so sad!”
Tian Xiaoxiao said, clutching her chest.
“Me too.”
Tian Zhengzheng said.
Tian Yuanyuan and Tian Fangfang didn't speak, but silently wiped away the tears on their faces.
“Why is this? Why did we appear in Sky City? What is this place? Why did you show us this scene? Why do we feel sad? Why?”
Tian Xiaoxiao shouted loudly at the sky, as if someone was in the sky, and she was questioning them.
“Who are you? Why did you bring us here?” Tian Yuanyuan also asked loudly.
Tian Fangfang and Tian Zhengzheng also questioned loudly. For a time, the four sisters were shouting at the sky. They were all questioning and also expressing their inner doubts.
Why did they appear here?
“You've finally returned!”
Just then, a gentle, watery voice rang out, startling the four of them.
“Who? Are you a human or a ghost? Come out?”
Tian Xiaoxiao walked to Tian Yuanyuan's side, tightly holding Tian Yuanyuan's arm. She had never imagined that someone would really respond to them. This sudden voice, no matter how gentle, was very scary.
“After countless years, have you forgotten my voice?”
The voice appeared behind them. They immediately looked back, and suddenly their pupils shrank.
Before them was a huge snake with wings on its back, suspended in the air.
This was a Tian Snake, the same as their true form, all Tian Snakes.
“May I ask who senior is?” Tian Yuanyuan asked.
“Senior?”
The giant snake spoke, seemingly self-deprecating and with a hint of helplessness.
The giant snake's figure swayed, transforming into a stunningly beautiful woman, wearing a crown and draped in a phoenix robe, with a mature temperament.
The woman slowly walked to them, her red lips slightly parted.
“I am the Snake God of the Giant Spirit Clan, but the world calls me the Demon Venerable of the Tian Snakes!”
