The Demon Race's Counter to the Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique; the "Bait" Successfully Hooks a Big Fish

South of "Spirit Taming Pass" lies nearly 50,000 li deep into the Demon Race realm, a place that Kong Wenxuan and his "elite team" have rarely ventured into.

But now, they have no choice but to travel deep into this remote place in an "invisible airship".

On the one hand, the Demon Race territory in front of them has been almost completely cleared and explored by various "elite teams" over the past year. If they continue to explore and hunt demons there, they will basically not gain anything.

On the other hand, and most importantly, they were bait used by the Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transformation Gods of three "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage to lure out Fifth Tier- and Sixth Tier great demons. They had no choice but to venture deep into the Demon Race realm to risk their lives so that these Fifth Tier- and Sixth Tier great demons would show themselves, ambush, and attack them.

Soon, Kong Wenxuan and his party found a suitable target on a mountain peak.

There was a peach grove on the mountain, inhabited by several groups of demon monkeys. Like the pack of wolves they had killed during their first operation, these were all different types of demon monkeys gathered together. Among them, there were fifteen Fourth Tier demon monkeys, including Demon Race and Demon Beast.

This is more than the number of Fourth Tier wolf demons and wolf beasts they killed in the wolf pack before.

However, Kong Wenxuan and his group were more confident than before, confident that they could easily defeat these monkey demons. This confidence was built up over the past year as they slaughtered one Demon Race team after another and witnessed Kong Wenxuan's methods and combat power time and time again.

So, after surveying the surroundings and confirming that there were no problems or traps, the group began to move out.

Huo Zhengting and Geng Lichun were still in charge of setting up the formation to seal off the surrounding area, but this time, due to the different environment, Geng Lichun took the lead and Huo Zhengting assisted.

Soon, a blue mist began to rise around the peach grove where the monkey demon was located, sealing off and isolating the peach grove and its surroundings.

Squeak! Squeak...

Suddenly, something went wrong. The monkey demons in the peach grove also noticed something was amiss and began to squeak and yell, as if they were screaming in terror, or as if they were giving orders.

Instantly, teams of monkey demons, led by Fourth Tier monkey demons, launched an attack on the blue mist rising around the "Peach Forest".

Li! Li li...

Just then, the clear chirping of Peacock rang out, and a seemingly real "Five-Colored Peacock" flew out from the rising blue mist and landed above the peach grove. It spread its wings and displayed its Peacock feathers, on which appeared "five-colored eyes," shooting out mesmerizing and dreamlike Five-Colored Illusory Light that sprinkled on the monkey demons in the forest.

In an instant, all the low-level monkey demons of the first to Third Tier, whether they were Demon Race or Demon Beast, fell into a bewitching illusion and were controlled by Kong Wenxuan, who then urged them to fight and kill each other.

As for the Fourth Tier monkey Demon Beast, those without intelligence or wisdom were directly controlled by the bewitching spell. Only a few Fourth Tier monkey Demon Race with intelligence and wisdom were able to resist this "Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique" to some extent. They were not directly controlled by Kong Wenxuan and even began to struggle rapidly in the "bewitching illusion," almost waking up immediately.

However, this brief moment of being trapped in the "bewitching illusion" was enough. Kong Wenxuan skillfully activated the "Five Elements Divine Swords" and set up the "Great Five Elements Sword Formation" to suppress and kill those Fourth Tier monkey Demon Race.

As for the larger number of Fourth Tier monkey Demon Beast, they were left to Bi Qingyang, Hua Baoyue, Li Heming to deal with and kill. In any case, these Demon Beast were already trapped in the "bewitching illusion" and had almost no power to resist, so they could be easily killed.

This is also a familiar process that their "elite team" has gradually developed over the past year of cooperation and demon-slaying.

Every operation, from slaying Demon Race and Demon Beast to plundering resources and spiritual objects, was extremely smooth and successful.

However, this time, the unexpected happened as expected.

Just as all the monkey demons were bewitched by Kong Wenxuan's "Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique" and trapped in various illusions, just as he activated the "sword formation" to wipe them all out, just as Bi Qingyang, Hua Baoyue, Li Heming all made their moves.

In the very center of the peach grove, the largest, tallest, and most lush peach tree suddenly seemed to come alive. Its branches and leaves trembled, and large swaths of blue light emanated from them. Wherever this blue light passed, it instantly dissipated the "Five-Colored Illusory Light" cast by Kong Wenxuan's "Five-Colored Peacock" illusion. When it landed on the monkey demons, it instantly awakened all of them, whether they were Demon Race or Demon Beast, from the illusion.

"Oh no, it's a trap!"

Upon seeing this scene, Kong Wenxuan and the others were all shocked. Although they were "bait" arranged by the Nascent Soul True Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transformation Gods of the Three Counties, they had long known that they would fall into the trap of the Demon Race in one of their actions. However, when the "trap" actually came, it still made them very frightened.

"Everyone, immediately activate your jade pendants for protection!"

Geng Lichun, the nominal captain, immediately exclaimed in surprise. At the same time, his body was enveloped in a blue and white starlight, with the image of "Qinggeng Geng" moving within the starlight. He raised his head and made a series of "Qinggeng Qinggeng" sounds.

Clearly, he had already activated the protective power of the "Qinggeng Jade Pendant" on his body.

Bah! Bahba...

Almost simultaneously, ripples appeared in the sky and then cracked open. Accompanied by the cries of birds, a Fifth Tier Qinggeng Bird flew out from it. With a flap of its wings, streaks of azure light, like knives, cleaved through space and directly struck Kong Wenxuan and his group.

Just as the three Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transformation Monarchs had hoped, they successfully lured away Fifth Tier great demon!

Boom! Boom! Rumble...

Streaks of azure light slashed down like blades, but various starlight appeared around Kong Wenxuan and the others, with illusory figures of Qinggeng, Bifang, and Huodou moving among them, indicating that they had indeed activated the protective "True Spirit Jade Pendant" on their bodies.

Therefore, despite the booming explosions and shattering beams of azure light, they failed to break through the various starlight protecting them and injure them.

Seeing this, the Fifth Tier Qinggeng Great Demon that broke through the sky naturally realized something was wrong instantly, knowing that he had set a trap but had instead fallen into the trap of the invading army of the three counties.

Immediately, the Fifth Tier Qinggeng Demon stopped attacking, stretched out its claws and tore open space to escape.

"Haha..." Just then, a loud laugh rang out, and three beams of starlight descended from the sky, sealing off the surrounding space and instantly imprisoning and collapsing the space torn apart by the Fifth Tier Qinggeng Demon, blocking its escape route.

At the same time, three figures descended with the starlight; they were Nascent Soul True Lord from the Bi Household, Geng Household, and Huo Household, respectively.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul True Lord the Geng Household, who had descended with the "Qinggeng Starlight," laughed and said, "That demonic bird, now that you're here, why rush to leave! Let's exchange blows first."

As they were speaking, the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Geng Household had already launched an attack on the Fifth Tier Qinggeng Great Demon who was in a hurry to escape.

Clearly, the "True Spirit Jade Pendant" raised by Kong Wenxuan and others, and the "True Spirit Starlight" surrounding them, were the result of the starlight falling from these three "True Spirit Star" and the guidance of the three Nascent Soul True Lord descending.

However, at this moment, they couldn't afford to think about any of that. Geng Lichun, as the nominal captain, shouted urgently, "Retreat! Retreat quickly! This is no longer a battlefield we can intervene in."
