"Rumble!!!!!" Just as Li Xiaoya and the others stared at the newcomers in astonishment, a chain of earth-shaking explosions suddenly erupted behind them. Clearly, Black Old Devil and his companions had encountered the Mechanism Puppets and formations and were already fighting them...

However formidable Black Old Devil's divine abilities were, finding them on such a vast continent would be exceedingly difficult. Moreover, once they left the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect and met up with Huang Hua and the others, they would return to the Great Illusion Continent. That was Li Xiaoya's home ground. Even if Black Old Devil and his companions pursued them, they would be perfectly safe under the Heavenly Dao Sect's protection.
