Little Marten nodded, then said nothing more. With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and hurtled towards the depths of this vast mountain range. Behind him, Lin Yi, Xiao Yan, and Ying Huanhuan followed closely.

……

Demon Sound Mountain is located deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. This place is exceptionally treacherous. On that mountain, there are black trees called Sound Trees. These trees are quite peculiar, possessing a trumpet-like function that can amplify sound many times over.

Every moment, a sharp sound emanates from the entire mountain peak, hence the mountain is known as Demon Sound Mountain.

At the summit of Demon Sound Mountain stands a stone palace, its color a slightly dark red, like the color of settled blood, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

Moving the gaze into the main hall, one can see a middle-aged man with dark gold skin sitting on a throne that appears to be made of white bones. The man's eyes are sunken, and his mouth has a strange shape, making his whole face look extremely gloomy and cold.

This man was none other than Golden Ghost Owl, the overlord of Demon Sound Mountain, who had transformed into human form.

"Is the Owl Sound Array all set up?" The Golden Ghost Owl raised its gloomy gaze and looked at the two figures in front of it, speaking indifferently.

"Please rest assured, sir, all the human-headed owls have been mobilized. Once anyone intrudes, the owl sound array will be activated immediately!" One of the two men, dressed in leopard skin, grinned.

“Sir, is that effeminate man really that scary? We’ve been holed up in this Demon Sound Mountain for days and haven’t been able to leave,” another burly man with a fierce face said, curling his lip.

"Hmph, that guy looks frail, but his strength has already reached the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm. If he were outside, even I wouldn't be his match!" Golden Ghost Owl coldly rebuked.

"My lord, what do we do now? Are we just going to stay holed up in Demon Sound Mountain and never come out?" the man dressed in leopard skin asked.

Golden Ghost Owl leaned back in his chair, a sinister smile creeping across his face. "Don't worry, I have some connections with the Yuan Sect. I've already sent a letter to invite one of their elders over. Once he arrives, that guy won't be able to cause trouble for long."

Upon hearing this, the two men breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to speak, a sharp, urgent shriek suddenly came from outside the hall.

A sharp whistle rang out, and the expressions of the three people in the hall all changed. The Golden Ghost Owl suddenly stood up, and with a flash, he rushed out of the hall. Then, he looked with a gloomy gaze at the sky beyond the mountain peak, where four figures stood in the air.

"It's you again, you persistent ghost!" Golden Ghost Owl said menacingly, staring at Little Mink among the four.

Swish!

At this moment, everyone on the mountain was alarmed. Immediately, there were gusts of wind breaking through the air, and soon after, many figures rushed over, scattered across the mountaintop, and watched the four people warily.

After a heated exchange of words, the Golden Ghost Owl waved his hand, and the black trees covering the mountain shook. Then, one after another, black-bodied, ugly-looking monsters, resembling human heads, crawled out. Their numbers covered the entire mountain, creating a terrifying sight.

"Woo!"

As soon as these human-headed owls appeared, they plunged their heads into the sound trees, and then, a mournful cry suddenly resounded throughout the world.

Buzz!

Countless black sound waves spread out from the Demon Sound Mountain, covering the entire mountain like a black net of sound waves.

The black sound waves, like giant black snakes, slowly writhed in the space surrounding the mountain. These black sound waves seemed quiet, but Lin Yi and the others felt an astonishing destructive power emanating from them.

When Xiao Diao saw the huge black sonic net, his eyes narrowed slightly. He then gestured for Lin Yi and the other two to retreat a little distance.

"I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve, but it turns out you're just here to embarrass yourself!" The Golden Ghost Owl scoffed at the sight, and his men behind him joined in the laughter.

However, just as they were laughing, a young girl carrying a fiery red guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) stepped out from among the four.

Boom!

Ying Huanhuan's pretty face turned solemn as she floated cross-legged in mid-air, gently placing the fiery red guqin in front of her. Then, her flawless jade hand gently fell, and instantly, a phoenix cry resounded loudly and clearly throughout the world.

Boo!

The soft murmur resounded, and everyone on Demon Sound Mountain, including the Golden Ghost Owl, suddenly changed their expressions, a sense of unease rising in their hearts.

A phoenix cry resounded, and a raging crimson light, like a volcano, surged forth from Ying Huanhuan's body.

Then, on the Heavenly Phoenix Zither, the crimson phoenix with outstretched wings also took flight amidst the fluctuations of the zither's music, hovering above Ying Huanhuan's head. At the same time, a somewhat terrifying fluctuation also emanated from the crimson phoenix's body.

"The Treasure of Pure Yuan!"

The golden ghost owl on Demon Sound Mountain stared at the circling crimson phoenix, its pupils shrinking instantly, and it gasped in horror.

"You got it right, but there's no prize."

Ying Huanhuan looked up, smiled slightly at the horrified Golden Ghost Owl, and then her jade fingers suddenly plucked the strings of the zither...

Chapter 248 Breaking the Formation, Annihilation! [Please Read On]

Boo!

The crimson phoenix circling in the sky also cried out to the heavens, its huge wings suddenly flapping, and a clear, crimson sound wave swept out.

As these phoenix cries swept outwards, they merged with the music emanating from the Heavenly Phoenix Zither, ultimately transforming into a raging inferno that roared directly towards the Owl Sound Array enveloping Demon Sound Mountain.

Bang bang bang!

The crimson flames and sonic waves swept across the sky, finally crashing heavily onto the owl-sound array composed of 100,000 human-headed owls.

Immediately, Lin Yi and the others saw those sound waves, which resembled giant black pythons, collapse instantly, struggling to turn into nothingness amidst the rising flames.

The sonic array that even the little sable couldn't handle was instantly broken at this moment!

The countless human-headed owls, at the very moment the great formation was broken, trembled as if they had encountered some nemesis, and finally exploded into clouds of blood mist with a bang.

On Demon Sound Mountain, the Golden Ghost Owl and his ilk, who had been gloating earlier, suddenly changed their expressions as they watched the human-headed owls explode into blood mist all over the mountainside.

"It's your turn..."

Ying Huanhuan turned her head, her previously calm and pretty face now appearing slightly pale from activating the Heavenly Phoenix Zither.

"Leave that Golden Ghost Owl to me!"

The little sable sneered, and then an exceptionally powerful and vast wave instantly swept out from its body. That wave was like dark clouds covering the sky and earth, turning into a dense pressure that permeated the world.

"You blond monster, let's see where you can hide this time!"

Little Marten smiled sinisterly, a bloodthirsty look appearing on his face. It seemed that he had been extremely angry about the formation of Demon Sound Mountain during this period, and now that the formation was gone, his anger had completely erupted.

Swish!

With a swift movement, the little sable appeared directly in front of the golden ghost owl like a ghost, and then a purple-black streak containing terrifying fluctuations blasted towards the golden ghost owl like lightning!

Faced with Little Marten's fierce attack, the Golden Ghost Owl hurriedly retreated. After all, his strength was far inferior to Little Marten's, and he would be no match for him in a one-on-one situation.

But at this moment, the Owl Sound Formation was broken, and the Golden Ghost Owl had nowhere to hide. It had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a move, while hoping that the helpers from the Yuan Sect could arrive as soon as possible.

"Roar!"

As Xiao Diao made his move, Xiao Yan roared to the sky. His already imposing figure, as strong as an iron tower, expanded to twice its original size. Crimson light surged across his body, clearly indicating that it was also an extremely powerful body-refining martial art.

boom!

Xiao Yan's body swelled up, and with a stomp of his foot, he charged towards Demon Sound Mountain like a cannonball. His scarlet eyes and ferocious face were completely different from his previous naivety.

"Be careful."

Seeing that both of them had already made their moves, Lin Yi didn't delay any longer. He said something to Ying Huanhuan, and the Azure Dragon Wings reappeared on his back. He then transformed into a beam of azure light and rushed up the Demon Sound Mountain.

Swish!

Lin Yi moved like a streak of light across the mountain peaks, one of his arms transforming into a dragon, and then, holding a black tree trunk upside down, he smashed it all the way down.

Those subordinates of the Golden Ghost Owl couldn't even withstand a single move from Lin Yi.

"Bang bang bang!"

Wherever Lin Yi passed, a series of explosions suddenly rang out on Demon Sound Mountain. Those were the sounds of Lin Yi smashing the subordinates of Golden Ghost Owl to pieces with the trunk of the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree!

In an instant, the entire Demon Sound Mountain seemed to be shrouded in crimson blood mist!

When the men under the Golden Ghost Owl saw how fierce Lin Yi was, their faces were filled with horror. They let out a ghostly scream and tried to flee in all directions!

However, Lin Yi had no intention of letting them go.

With a flap of his azure dragon wings, Lin Yi instantly caught up with the leopard-skinned man at the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm. In the man's utter horror, Lin Yi slammed the black tree trunk in his hand down on his head.

"Oh!"

The next instant, a loud explosion rang out, and the leopard-skinned man was also blown apart by Lin Yi in one move, turning into a blood mist that scattered in all directions!

After dealing with the leopard-skinned man, Lin Yi continued to hunt down the other henchmen of Golden Ghost Owl. With flashes of azure light, Lin Yi at this moment seemed to have become the Grim Reaper who reaped lives!

In a short while, only Golden Ghost Owl and his other subordinate at the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm remained on Demon Sound Mountain.

The two were being overwhelmed by Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan respectively, but when they saw Lin Yi's fierce attack, annihilating all their subordinates in a short time, both of them showed a look of horror in their eyes, and for a moment, their attacks became somewhat chaotic.

Xiao Yan's body suddenly writhed wildly, transforming into a gigantic black tiger. A monstrous black light swept outwards, exuding ferocity.

"Heavenly Demon Transformation, Tiger Ancestor Shattering Star Palm!"

A deep roar, carrying an overwhelming ferocity, spread out as the giant black tiger slammed its paw out. Black light transformed into countless black vortexes beneath its paw. These black vortexes seemed to connect to ancient times and space, emanating an extremely terrifying and ferocious pressure.

Bang!

A terrifying storm of elemental energy blasted through the air, and the black giant tiger's paw slammed into the chest of the Nine-Yuan Nirvana Realm general under the Golden Ghost Owl's command!

"Boom!"

The earth trembled as the latter was slammed deep into the ground by Xiao Yan's tiger paw. Crimson blood gushed out from the crack in the pit, and the aura of the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm general vanished instantly.

"I should speed things up too..."

Seeing that Lin Yi and Xiao Yan had already dealt with their opponents, Xiao Diao stared at the golden ghost owl, his killing intent almost solidifying in his eyes.

"Heavenly Demon Claw!"

The little sable's right hand shot out like lightning, instantly transforming into an ancient, purplish-black giant claw that seemed to tear the sky apart as it grabbed at the golden ghost owl.

Upon seeing this, the golden ghost owl turned pale and turned to run away without hesitation.

However, Little Marten was clearly not going to let him escape so easily. Its giant claws tore through the sky and enveloped the golden ghost owl. Then, the space distorted, like a prison, and it grabbed the golden ghost owl's body.

"Oh!"

As the claw-like wind struck, the golden ghost owl was unable to resist in the slightest, and its body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, its shrill screams echoing throughout the world.

Blood mist filled the air, and suddenly a rainbow light burst forth from it. The Golden Ghost Owl had already cultivated a demon spirit. Although its physical body was destroyed, it did not perish on the spot.

"Want to go?"

However, the rainbow light had just shot out when it was enveloped by a purplish-black beam of light and was finally caught by the little sable.

"This golden ghost owl's demonic spirit can be refined and absorbed by Xiao Yan, which will be of great benefit to him," Xiao Diao smiled and threw the golden ghost owl demonic spirit, which was wrapped in purple-black light, towards Xiao Yan.

"Let's go find the Earth Core Divine Saliva. Little Flame, you should know the way, right?" Lin Yi smiled slightly after seeing that all the enemies had been dealt with.

"Okay," Xiao Yan nodded, then moved and flew towards the massive Demon Sound Mountain. Lin Yi and the other two immediately followed...
