  “Your Majesty, we didn’t find anyone.”

  Xiao Jingyun scowled. “Can they disappear into thin air? Tighten security. Check everywhere outside as well immediately.”

  However, after a round of investigation, there was indeed no one.

  “Your Majesty, could they be invisible?” an imperial guard asked.

  “How can they be invisible without spiritual power?” Xiao Jingyun felt that it was impossible. Spiritual power was lost here, even for him and the Archfiend.

  Everybody here was on the same level.

  “They have that witch Gu Bailu.” The Archfiend’s weird voice rang out.

  Xiao Jingyun said in surprise, “What about her? She also relies on spiritual power.”

  “Heh, she created her own damn runes. They can be activated without spiritual power. Hurry up and search. They must be inside!”

  Xiao Jingyun frowned. “You’re so sure they’ve returned. Bai Wuxin didn’t tell us that they’ve escaped.”

  “Even the ghost army couldn’t absorb their spiritual power outside. Gu Bailu must’ve used an immunity rune on them. That’s how I was defeated back then! Find her now!”

  Xiao Jingyun thought for a moment. “I’ll contact Bai Wuxin first.”

  “There’s no need to contact him. I just tried, and there was no response. They must’ve killed him secretly.”

  “How is that possible? Bai Wuxin is the strongest at Heavenly Palace Cliff……”

  “Be quiet if you don’t know anything. Find them now. Do you want them to steal the supreme pill which you’ve spent so much time refining?”

  The Demon Lord was very impatient with Xiao Jingyun. He didn’t know anything and didn’t listen to orders.

  Did he think that he could act high and mighty just because this was his territory?

  If it wasn’t because he was useful, the Archfiend would’ve slapped him to death.

  Shao Zun flew over and asked with a puzzled face, “What happened?”

  “There are intruders. Go and find them immediately,” the Archfiend said to Shao Zun.

  Shao Zun nodded and gave the order. “Search thoroughly. Don’t let a single mosquito escape.”

  But how were they going to find them? They could turn invisible without spiritual power.

  Right now, they were like everyone else who didn’t have spiritual power, and were no different from garbage. They moved much slower and used a lot more energy.

  “All of you, go over there and set up a barrier!” The Archfiend saw that this wouldn’t work. There was no spiritual power here, and there was no way to deal with Gu Bailu and the others.

  The six realms relied on spiritual power to support themselves. Whether it was the Demon Realm or Fiend Realm’s magic arts, both were based on spiritual power.

  Gu Bailu had been bored at Heavenly Palace Cliff back then. She wanted to create a power which didn’t rely on spiritual power, so she came up with the Reed Mountain Arts, which relied on a person’s consciousness to control everything.

  Who would have thought that it could be used like this?

  Now, they could only use their own strength on the other side to defeat them.

  As long as they held down the fort, Gu Bailu wouldn’t be able to defeat them on the other side without spiritual power, no matter how good she was.

  Gu Bailu frowned. “The Archfiend has given up on this side and has gone back over to the other side to stand guard. I’m afraid we won’t be able to go over.”

  “They will have to go out in the end.”

  “I’m just afraid that they’ll split the supreme pill on the spot,” said Gu Bailu worriedly.

  “They won’t. Not everyone has gathered yet.”

  Gu Bailu understood what Feng Qingtian meant. Only Shao Zun, the Archfiend, and the Rising Clouds Emperor were here now, and there was no one from Heavenly Palace Cliff.

  They definitely wouldn’t dare split it secretly.

  After all, Heavenly Palace Cliff was the strongest among them.

  “Even if they really dare split it, they won’t dare take it for their own. We can still snatch it.”

  Feng Qingtian wasn’t afraid that the Archfiend and Heavenly Palace Cliff would get the supreme pill, but that he himself wouldn’t.

  “But I don’t want to share it with them,” Gu Bailu pouted and said willfully.

  Feng Qingtian chuckled. “Shh, don’t worry. Don’t we have Shao Zun?”

  Gu Bailu looked at Su Shenfan and saw that he was looking around for them.

  “My lord, let’s go talk to him and come up with a plan. We need to be able to go over when the pill is ready.”

  “Okay.” Feng Qingtian pulled her closer to Su Shenfan.

  Su Shenfan knew that Prince Zi might come looking for him at that moment, so he stood a little further away from the other two.

  Feng Qingtian said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Find a way to create a problem with the barrier. We have to get the spirit pill.”

  Su Shenfan calmly spoke to the Archfiend next to him. “If everyone goes over, will it affect the effect of the supreme pill?”

  “There’s no time to consider that. Let’s go.”

  The Archfiend swam across first.

  Su Shenfan’s voice reached Feng Qingtian, “I’ll cut off a strand of hair when the Archfiend sets up the barrier. Find it, and then break in.”

  With that, Su Shenfan swam over with the Archfiend.

  Gu Bailu smiled. “It’s good to have an insider in a critical moment.”

  Feng Qingtian smiled and didn’t say anything.

  Xiao Jingyun and the Archfiend probably didn’t know that their biggest miscalculation this time was to look for Shao Zun.

  When the Archfiend went over, he immediately set up a barrier.

  The Archfiend’s barrier was naturally incomparably tough. Nobody could enter, and it would take quite a while to break it.

  The pill had already matured.

  “With the Archfiend here, we can rest easy.” Xiao Jingyun smiled and flattered him.

  There was no expression on the Archfiend’s face. “That woman can enter even when there are no holes. Tell them to keep an eye out for her. Don’t miss a single detail.”

  The alchemy platform here was only about a hundred square meters in size, and there was fresh grass growing on it. It was surrounded by barriers that were like a spider web formed by the Crimson Spirit Pill, and all of them were glowing red.

  It looked strange and awe-inspiring.

  “As expected of a supreme pill. This spiritual power can scare people to death.” Gu Bailu felt her heart itch.

  The Crimson Spirit Pill was now so red that it was about to explode. Under the spiritual power emitted by the Grand Tutor’s hands, it spun even faster.

  “Maybe this is fate. If they hadn’t brought my parents’ souls here to refine the pills, I wouldn’t have come to rescue them, and I wouldn’t have known that they were refining this spirit pill. In the end, I have to thank Nan Ningxin.”

  “In this world, good people and bad people, friends and foe are all useful as long as they don’t die.”

  That was right. Gu Bailu hadn’t killed Nan Ningxin all this time, all for this moment today.

  Killing an enemy was indeed satisfying, but that was fleeting; it wouldn’t bring her parents back and the Gu family couldn’t go back to what it was.

  As for her enemy, she wouldn’t feel any pain if she died.

  That wasn’t worth it at all.

  “Wow, look at the pill. It’s changing color.”
