Yunxi shook her head and said:
"Merman Elder, even if we wish to retreat unscathed now, it will be difficult. If my deduction is correct, there should be a formation beneath the pile of bones. Otherwise, how could they control these bones that harbor demon souls?
"Moreover, I did not sense the aura of any evil cultivators. They seem certain that nothing can go wrong here. They merely set up a formation and did not even leave anyone behind to watch over it."
The Demon King She nodded her massive head, confirming Yunxi's judgment.
"This Sovereign indeed did not sense the aura of any evil cultivators. As for the formation you mentioned, we will only be able to see it after clearing away all these bones. After all, you are the only one here who understands formations."
Hu Ben scratched his head irritably. Knowing full well that his daughter's demon soul was here yet being unable to take her away left him feeling utterly stifled. The Dragonfish Elder and Merman Elder were equally enraged.
"These evil cultivators are truly vicious. This is a dead end. If we want to destroy the formation imprisoning the demon souls, we must clear away these bones. Yet smashing the bones consumes their Soul Power. But if we do not do so, we cannot destroy the formation controlling them. What are we supposed to do?"
The Dragonfish Elder said, his cheeks puffed out. For the moment, he could not think of a better solution either.
More and more skeletal Demon Beasts surrounded She Baihui, and their attacks grew increasingly fierce. Though all of them were blocked by the Demon King's scaled armor, the Demon King She was so furious that she kept flicking out her tongue, wishing she could smash every one of those bones
