After Yuan Ming saw the battle clearly, he immediately rushed over.
The red-haired Black Demon also saw He Xiuwen, as well as Zheng Heng's defeat. His expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he took out the Dragon's Hum Wood Zither and poured all his mana into it.
The next instant, a massive white pillar of light erupted from the Dragon's Hum Wood Zither.
Enveloped by the pillar of light, a gigantic phantom identical in appearance to Sima Changqin instantly manifested above everyone's heads. It looked like a genuine Dharma Idol, radiating a heart-pounding aura.
Nan Shangfeng and Wulu were immediately crushed by that aura, feeling as though their entire bodies had been buried underground, unable to move another inch. The controlled fire beasts all prostrated themselves, not daring to raise their heads again.
Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of interest flashing through them.

He flew toward the red-haired Black Demon and arrived before him in the blink of an eye, yet did not attack first.
Seeing Yuan Ming act so arrogantly, the red-haired Black Demon was overjoyed. He sent the Dragon's Hum Wood Zither in his hand flying forward. It circled briefly in midair before descending in front of Sima Changqin's phantom.
The tiny wooden zither rapidly enlarged, transforming in an instant into a size that matched Sima Changqin's phantom.
Sima Changqin's phantom raised a hand and lightly touched the strings with his fingertips. In an instant, a sonorous and powerful zither note rang through heaven and earth,
