Those Watching the Battle in Secret

Beyond the Second Tong Pass, a powerful demonic voice echoed from the churning dark clouds of demonic energy.

"Are these people from the Ancient Domain toying with us? Why have they been talking for so long?"

The speaking Envoy Demon God, was named the Nine Spirits Envoy. His true form was only ten feet in size, resembling a lion, but with nine heads.

It is said that each of its leaders has devoured and refined a kind of Heaven and Earth Power, and has mastered nine Domain that can change the color of heaven and earth, making it one of the strongest Yao God in the Supreme Demon Domain.

The Dream Demon Venerable said, "Could it be that our asking price is too high?"

A hunched-over Old Pine Demon Venerable weathered by time, squinted and noticed that some people on the Tong Pass City Wall seemed to be preparing something. He smiled and said, "These people from the Ancient Domain are about to start a war. It seems they are not prepared to agree to our demands."

"Is that really so? How hateful. Since that's the case, then let's kill them. The Tong Pass City Wall is so high, the Emperor has long disliked it, so let's tear it down tomorrow."

"Kill!"

Accompanied by a roar and sounds of fighting.

The Monster army led by the five Envoy-level Demon God surged in like a black tsunami.

Seeing the Monster charging forward decisively, the Eight-Realm Martial Saint present all had solemn expressions, as they hadn't even reached an agreement yet.

"Our Ancestral Saint, why not grant this Bai Ze Envoy's request first?"

But the Ram-headed Envoy was not about to compromise easily, and snorted, "If you cannot guarantee our safety, I will not cooperate with you!"

Grand Saint Granny looked at Lin Yi Lin Yi, who was standing on the Tong Pass City Wall, holding the twelve Tongguan Treasure in his palm.

At this moment, Lin Yi closed his eyes, seemingly contemplating something.

The twelve Tongguan Treasure emitted a faint golden light, forming a ring that was constantly spinning rapidly.

Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...

Lin Yi's mind also conjured up a map of the entire Ancient Domain, as well as the locations of the twelve Tong Pass City Wall on the map.

From the air, the twelve towering Tong Pass City Wall, like dragon veins, guard and protect the Ancient Domain, blocking Outer Domain Monster, Forbidden Land monsters, and harsh environments.

The twelve Tong Pass City Wall seem to be arranged according to the principles of Qimen Dunjia, cleverly conforming to the Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams in the universe.

They echoed each other, forming a huge and complex formation.

It is precisely because of this formation that a certain power between heaven and earth is gathered here, nourishing all living things in the Ancient Domain.

Only after Lin Yi established a connection with each of the Tongguan Treasure did he discover that he could observe the situation of the twelve Tongguan Prefecture at this moment.

The First Tong Pass in Linzi is a dark and Forbidden Land, where even when the sun is high in the sky, it remains shrouded in darkness.

A bonfire burns on the Tong Pass City Wall, where tens of thousands of soldiers stand with resolute expressions, while patrol teams constantly patrol the city wall.

The Third Tong Pass is located in the extremely cold north, Outer Realm lie vast snow-capped mountains, a place of biting cold where no human presence or life can be seen...

The Fourth Tong Pass is near a flooded river, its waters surging and teeming with Monster, stretching as far as the eye can see...

After Lin Yi finished looking at the locations of the Twelve Tong Passes, he realized the astonishing feat of the Gu Xianhe.

Before the establishment of the Ancient Domain, Gu Xianhe used the Twelve Tong Passes treasures of Tongguan to mobilize the Earth Vein Power, and later combined them with the 'Qiankun' Domain to change the world, thus creating the foundation of the Ancient Domain and leaving a sanctuary for the people of the Ancient Domain to resist external enemies.

Furthermore, these Twelve Tong Passes treasures of Tongguan are perfectly compatible with the 'Qiankun' Domain, as if they were specially crafted for those who control the 'Qiankun' Domain.

If Lin Yi had not mastered the 'Heaven and Earth', even if he had perfected the Treasure Combination Art, he probably wouldn't have been able to combine the twelve Tongguan Treasure into one.

Only by mastering the 'universe' can the true power of the Twelve Tong Passes be unleashed.

"So these twelve Tongguan Treasure are the true defensive trump cards left to the Ancient Domain by the Gu Xianhe. Using these treasures to defend against enemies allows us to draw upon the power of the entire Ancient Domain's Earth Veins..."

Under the guidance of Lin Yi's 'Qiankun' Domain power, some of the sealed memories of the twelve Tongguan Treasure' Artifact Spirit gradually came back, their intelligence greatly increased, and they began to chatter and communicate with Lin Yi.

"Our old master said that as long as one can control 'Heaven and Earth,' one can become his successor and rule the Ancient Domain. From now on, you will be our New Master..."

"Our New Master treats us extremely well, and I accept him New Master..."

"Let me count, this seems to be our eighth New Master since the old master left!"

The Artifact Spirit the Seventh Tongguan Treasure said, "When will our New Master massage us with his True Qi again? I've missed him terribly these past few days. The Garrison Commander New Master I served under had such a strong grip; he wasn't gentle at all..."

Lin Yi felt overwhelmed and cut off communication with the Artifact Spirit of these Tongguan Treasure. Then he looked up at the Ancestral Saint and the others and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Leave the rest to me, Qin."

Seemingly thinking Lin Yi was too confident, Qian Wujiang raised an eyebrow and reminded him, "Deputy Prefect Qin, although your methods are remarkable, your opponent is a five-headed Honored Envoy -level Great Fiend!"

Lin Yi didn't say much, but flicked his wrist, and twelve golden lights drew arcs in the air and disappeared into his palm.

Upon seeing this Zi Shanshui, Yu Ye, and Qiu Heming quickly stepped forward and asked, "Deputy Prefect Qin, so you successfully performed the Treasure Combination Art?"

Lin Yi nodded and looked at them. "We have lived up to expectations and it can be considered a success."

"Good, it has been a long time since Tongguan Prefecture has produced a powerful individual capable of simultaneously controlling the Twelve Tong Passes."

The three were naturally overjoyed.

Previously, by controlling a Demigod Artifact, their ' Deputy Prefect Qin ' was able to contend with two Envoy-level Demon God. If he were to control a true divine artifact, ' Deputy Prefect Qin's ' combat power would likely increase significantly.

The Ancestral Saint also knew that the Tongguan Treasure could be combined into divine artifacts, and seeing Lin Yi's confidence, he smiled.

Seemingly remembering something, she took out the Purplecloud Thunder Pearl and handed it to Lin Yi.

"I'm afraid I can't be of much help to Envoy-level Demon God. This item is compatible with your Domain and can play a great role. I'll leave it to you."

"Grandma, you are guarding the city below, and you need us more than I do."

"It's alright, someone will protect me..."

Is anyone there?

Lin Yi didn't understand, but still accepted it and flew into the sky.

The Gu Family Old Ancestor followed behind Lin Yi, seemingly intending to face the five Envoy-level Demon God together with Lin Yi.

"Ancestor, you don't need to come along. I, Qin, am enough."

"I am a person of the Ancient Domain. Now that I have appeared at Tong Pass, I will not retreat."

A fierce wind, carrying a putrid stench, crashed against the city walls like a surging tide.

Outside the city, Monster formed a black wave that surged and roared, making the city bricks rattle.

Leading the charge were not the five Envoy Demon God, but dozens of Heaven-Piercing Demon God.

These Yao God took on various forms. Some were shrouded in eerie purple mist, while others had twisted, multi-segmented limbs. Their blood-red eyes gleamed with ferocity as they stared intently at Lin Yi and the Gu Family Old Ancestor, who had suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Why are there only two people coming out? Does your Ancient Domain have no one left?"

"Haha, I think they're trying to send us our first meal early..."

Hearing the mocking voices, Lin Yi paid no attention. His gaze passed through the group of Heaven-Piercing Demon God and looked at the five-headed Honored Envoy- level Great Fiend hiding in the void.

"Five of you, are you ready to die?"

Enraged, the Nine Spirits Envoy commanded, "Humans are arrogant! What are you waiting for? Kill them all! Leave no one alive at Tong Pass!"

"Kill!"

Dozens of Heaven-Piercing Demon God spread their Domain and attacked from all directions.

Upon seeing this, the Gu Family Old Ancestor immediately deployed his ' Yin-Yang ' Real Domain, instantly engulfing more than ten Heaven-Piercing Demon God and disrupting their Domain, causing Domain Yin-Yang -Yang balance to be disrupted and instantly reducing their combat power.

Then she condensed the Yin-Yang Giant Hand Seal and slammed it down, blasting the dozen or so Heaven-Piercing Demon God to the ground like flies.

"This woman is Ninth Realm Martial Saint, attack her together..."

Seeing this, the remaining numerous Heaven-Piercing Demon God rushed towards the Gu Family Old Ancestor.

"I do not know the power of the Tongguan Treasure after it is combined. Those five Honored Envoy are not weak. I will take the Heaven-Piercing Demon God away right now. If you are no match for those five Envoy Demon God, there is no need to fight desperately. The Ancient Domain has a deep foundation. Second Tong Pass will not be broken."

After the Gu Family Old Ancestor suddenly abandoned this place, he lured away many of the Heaven-Piercing Demon God.

At this moment, besides the endless stream of Monster surging towards the Tong Pass City Wall, only five Envoy-level Demon God were watching Lin Yi with predatory eyes.

With sparse white hair and an appearance like an old human, Pine Wood Envoy, "Who are you, that you dare to take on the five of us by yourself?"

Nine Spirits Envoy said impatiently, "Why say so much? This person is mine. Let me devour him first!"

The only female Yao God god among the five Envoy Demon God spoke up, "Nine Spirits, don't worry. This person seems to be quite capable. According to the information I obtained from the defeated Monster of the Three Dragon Heads, this human had previously single-handedly held off the Three Dragon Heads and the Old Ape."

The female succubus had delicate features and wore a python-skin battle skirt. The scales on the skirt shimmered with a cold light, and the hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing faint dark patterns of swimming scales.

Behind it, a pair of enormous bat wings spread out, with a wingspan of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters). The membranous wings were covered with eerie demonic eyes, each of which emitted a strange, eerie light.

The Nine Spirits Envoy sneered, "So what if you can hold off those two good-for-nothings? I have descended upon the Ancient Domain many times, and no one has ever dared to insult me. Even if many Ninth Realm Martial Saint from the Ancient Domain come to plead for me tomorrow, I will still tear them apart!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine heads of the Nine Spirits Envoy roared to the sky, their voices like rolling Lei Ming, and nine different Domain spread out instantly.

There was extreme cold and yin fire, blood-red lightning, and eclipsing gales...

Dark clouds rolled in the sky above the entire Tong Pass City Wall, the earth trembled violently, and the mountains shook.

The sky, which was originally a pale blue, was quickly enveloped by a thick, dark purple gale, plunging it into complete darkness.

Second Tong Pass City, everyone looked up, their faces filled with horror, feeling that the end of the world was nothing more than this.

The guards on the city wall frowned with worry. "These five demons seem much stronger than the three demons from before. Even with Seventeen Tong Pass Treasure, Deputy Prefect Qin is probably no match for them. What if even Deputy Prefect Qin is defeated...?"

In the distance, in the void, several figures quietly observed the battle taking place on the Tong Pass City Wall.

Among them were not only Wu Shi, who had been Wu Shi for a long time, and Zun Sheng, but also Tong Pass Prefecture Lord, who had just come out of seclusion, and a mysterious man wearing a white Mage Robe.
