Damn, the hostage has escaped?

Big Black Cat's expression changed, and he felt extremely upset.

The Nine-tailed Fox Demon was extremely cunning. Now that the Golden Winged Roc had arrived, he feared these two forces might join together to deal with him.

What should I do?

Countless thoughts flashed through Big Black Cat's mind.

Right now, the best thing to do is for me to draw the fire of both the Nine-tailed Fox Demon and the Golden Winged Roc Clan. I need to lead them away as quickly as possible. That way, the Sect Master and the others... shouldn't have any problems.

"Sect Master, the Golden Winged Roc Clan and I also have some unsettled scores from the Nine Soul Underground Palace. I'll lead them away first and rejoin you all later," the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat urgently sent a mental message to Luo Li.

Before Luo Li could even reply, Big Black Cat transformed into a streak of black light and, quite unexpectedly, shot towards the Golden Winged Roc hovering in mid-air.

"Old fellow, long time no see! I've missed you to death!"

Big Black Cat raised his Black Shield and smashed it fiercely upwards.

"You dare launch a sneak attack on me? Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, a leopard never changes its spots!"

The Golden Winged Roc was enraged. He abruptly thrust out an arm, which transformed into a gleaming golden claw, and snatched at the Black Shield.

BOOM!

The golden claw struck the shield. A tremendous force surged through, sending Big Black Cat flying backward.

Then, he transformed into a swift streak of black light, circled behind the Golden Winged Roc, and fiercely grabbed a Nirvana Realm cultivator from the Golden Winged Roc Clan.

"Golden Winged Roc, if you dare make a move against me, I'll kill your kinsman!"

Big Black Cat chuckled sinisterly and then abruptly vanished from mid-air.

A streak of black light suddenly descended beside the Nirvana Realm members of the Azure Wolf Clan. With a swift grab, Big Black Cat seized another member, this time from the Azure Wolf Clan.

Then he fled towards the area of black fog.

"Don't follow me, or I'll definitely kill them!"

Big Black Cat plunged into the black fog, his arrogant laughter echoing behind him.

This all happened so quickly that neither of the two Demon Clans had time to react. By the time they did, Big Black Cat had already disappeared into the mist.

"Golden Winged Roc, how about we join forces this time to capture this Nine-tailed Spirit Cat?" the Nine-tailed Fox Demon proposed, floating in mid-air as she looked towards him.

"Very well," the Golden Winged Roc nodded, his face grim. This Nine-tailed Spirit Cat had captured one of his clan members; he naturally couldn't let the matter rest.

"All Destiny Realm members, follow me!"

After saying this, the Golden Winged Roc transformed back into his true form and chased into the mist.

"Young Master Lan Qing, we should also prioritize chasing the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat. We can ignore the others for now," the Nine-tailed Fox Demon said in a sweet, captivating voice. She had landed and, coordinating with the young man at the eighth level of the Destiny Realm, had forced Mu Qing back with a single move.

"Alright!"

Young Master Lan Qing of the Azure Wolf Clan shook his body and transformed, also revealing his true form. He became an enormous azure wolf. His body was a full hundred feet in size, emanating a terrifying aura that gave off an exceptionally fierce and formidable impression.

"Wait until I return, and then we'll settle who is superior!"

Young Master Lan Qing shot Mu Qing a venomous glare, then immediately turned around. The Nine-tailed Fox Demon stood on his back.

A sudden gust of wind swept through, and the giant azure wolf vanished, its speed astonishingly fast.

The other Destiny Realm members of the Azure Wolf Clan did not follow, remaining behind to protect their fellow clan members. Meanwhile, the Nirvana Realm members of the Golden Winged Roc Clan descended from mid-air and joined the Azure Wolf Clan's group.

The surrounding Human cultivators looked at each other, somewhat at a loss as to what to say about these sudden developments.

That Nine-tailed Spirit Cat... he's truly a character. To face so many experts and still move so freely, capturing two hostages and drawing away the bulk of their forces, all while ensuring the safety of the other Nirvana Realm cultivators in his small team.

And up to this point, the two major Demon Clans still hadn't realized that the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat was also part of a small team—a team that even included three Nirvana Realm Human cultivators.

Mu Qing sheathed her sword, took a deep breath, and decided against any rash actions for the moment. She glanced around, observing everyone's expressions, and mostly understood the situation.

Those two Demon Clans across from us haven't yet realized that the Sect Master, the other two, and I are with Big Black Cat. They just think that I, Big Black Cat, and Cat Bao'er are one team. This is actually a good thing.

She slowly sat down cross-legged and took out Spirit Stones to continue absorbing their energy. The poison in her body was almost completely purged. Cat Bao'er still had some remaining.

Cat Bao'er, despite having the lowest cultivation base, also refrained from acting rashly. She too seemed to grasp the subtle and delicate nature of the current situation, so she obediently took out Spirit Stones to absorb their energy and simultaneously purge the poison from her body. Cat Bao'er guessed that with his Teleportation Boots, Big Black Cat was fast enough to lead those powerful demons away and then hurry back. If so, the six of them could join forces and wipe out the two Demon Clans facing them.

"Senior Sister, should we make our move now? Mu Qing can handle those Destiny Realm experts. We can take care of the Nirvana Realm ones," Jun Moxiao transmitted, his voice tinged with excitement.

"Don't be hasty. Let's wait for Little Black Cat to return," Luo Li replied softly via voice transmission. The current situation was very delicate; it wasn't the right time to act.

"Alright then, we'll just continue cultivating here," Jun Moxiao nodded and resumed absorbing energy from the Spirit Stones. He was just a hair's breadth away from the third level of the Nirvana Realm. If I absorb a few more Spirit Stones today, I'm sure I can break through to the third level of the Nirvana Realm!

「Within Luo Li's mind.」

Ye Yun observed that Big Black Cat had managed to quell the turmoil with his antics and couldn't help but smile.

With the Emperor Artifact Teleportation Boots, that rascal Big Black Cat should be fine. Besides, his physique is powerful, and he absorbed a lot of Dragon Qi in the Covert Dragon Coffin, so he should have strong resistance to the poison in this Nether Immortal Ancient Land.

BOOM!

The sound of massive footsteps echoed from deep within the black fog.

Suibai is here again? Ye Yun was slightly taken aback. That fellow went mad earlier and ran off to who-knows-where. He's back now? Has he recovered his senses?

The colossal footsteps instantly startled the cultivators around the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

"Could that be Suibai coming?" one cultivator asked, his voice filled with trepidation.

WHOOSH...

Almost simultaneously, all the cultivators stood up, their faces pale as they stared towards a particular direction within the mist. Suibai was arriving for his routine inspection. He had to be treated with utmost seriousness. Even experts at the Life and Death Realm couldn't withstand a single blow from Suibai. For cultivators at the Destiny Realm and Nirvana Realm like them, daring to incur Suibai's wrath was even more unthinkable.

Jun Moxiao, Luo Li, and the others also stood up.

Suibai's here again. He isn't coming for us, is he? Jun Moxiao muttered to himself.

HUFF!

The black fog billowed violently, and a colossal figure stepped into the silvery light of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

When they saw the appearance of this massive figure, Jun Moxiao, Luo Li, and the others were all stunned. The original Suibai, though his features were indistinct, could be discerned as male. But this Suibai before them was wearing a red skirt. Despite a burly frame, this one possessed prominent feminine characteristics, with noticeable curves and a voluptuous figure.

Two Suibais, one male, one female. Completely different in appearance. The only thing they had in common was that both Suibais... were covered in long, intermingled red and black fur.
