The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 1225 1225: The True Demon?

Sure enough.Drinking, especially when drinking to the point of inebriated oblivion, is the easiest way to have a "frank" exchange.

"Well, I can't exactly say clearly..."

The leader swayed as he said, "In any case, once the Sacrificial Array is completed, a 'True Demon' will descend and be used by our Holy Soul Hall. At that time, the status of Holy Soul Hall will rise dramatically and become a world-class power. We can then proudly stand like the Dragon King Hall, hehehe..."

"True Demon? What is a True Demon?"

Qin Feng asked again.

The leader continued, "A True Demon is... a real 'demon.' It's said that its power is incredibly strong, capable of destroying heaven and earth. It's truly unimaginable."

A real demon?

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

He was now certain that gods existed in this world, just as demons did.

Gods and demons.

They were already legendary existences of this era, unmatched by anyone, like dragons in folklore.

If it's true, then it's dangerous!

"Speaking of which, can the Sacrificial Array really summon a 'True Demon'? How is it summoned?" Qin Feng asked again.

"I don't know about that." The leader clutched the wine jar, dazedly saying, "But there shouldn't be any issues, otherwise we wouldn't risk all of Holy Soul Hall's assets."

"All of the assets?"

Qin Feng was surprised.

Holy Soul Hall, being the top power in Hua Country's Hidden World, must have considerable wealth.

Unexpectedly, all of it was being used now.

It seems they are determined to summon the 'True Demon' this time!

"And what does this have to do with the Empress of the Big Snake Clan?" Qin Feng asked again.

"Don't you know? It looks like you're not doing well mixing in Holy Soul Hall." The leader sneered at him, saying, "To summon a 'True Demon,' two conditions must be met: one is Soul Power, the other is 'Heart.'

"Soul Power is unique to our Holy Soul Hall, and recently, all Holy Soul Hall assets were exchanged for Spirit Stones and Array Formation Pearls to maximize the Soul Power of Ten Thousand Soul Mountain."

"The greater the Soul Power, the more formidable the 'True Demon' summoned."

"Considering the Soul Power of Holy Soul Hall's Ten Thousand Soul Mountain, the 'True Demon' summoned will be unimaginably powerful, as it costs Holy Soul Hall everything!"

"As for 'Heart,' originally the 'Snake Heart' could be used, but it was never found. Later, Lord Snake Leader said the Empress of the Big Snake Clan, having a heart connected to the Snake Beast, would also succeed."

"So capturing the Empress is naturally to summon the 'True Demon.'

"..."

After the leader finished speaking, Qin Feng couldn't help but furrow his brows.

No wonder he often saw wisps of dark smoke far away at Ten Thousand Soul Mountain, the location of Holy Soul Hall. It turns out they were maximizing the Soul Power of Ten Thousand Soul Mountain.

And it requires the participation of all Holy Soul Hall members.

This group is but a small part of the Sacrificial Array.

"Where is the Empress being held?"

Qin Feng asked again.

Rescuing the Empress would mean the Sacrificial Array would lack the Snake Heart and couldn't succeed, killing two birds with one stone.

"You, you don't know anything? She's tied to the cross in front of the grand hall's plaza, it's common knowledge." The leader seemed a bit impatient, waved his hand at Qin Feng, then lay on the table, clutching his wine jar, and started snoring.

Qin Feng wanted to ask more.

But seeing him drunk like this, there was no point in asking further, so he got up and left.

Indeed.

Before leaving here, he had already turned this place into a river of blood.

Now killing some would reduce future pressure.

He exited the room.

Qin Feng gave Xiao Wu a brief update on the situation.

Xiao Wu pondered briefly and said, "Let's go together, then I will distract them while you rescue the person."

"Hmm, it's worth a try."

Qin Feng said.

The two quickly headed towards the direction of the grand hall.

Silently, they went to the rooftop of the grand hall, looking down at the plaza.

Two teams were stationed in the plaza, patrolling back and forth.

These people were of decent cultivation, all above Seventh-grade Grandmaster.

In the middle, was a pitch-black cross.

A woman dressed in Qingyi was firmly shackled to the cross with sturdy iron chains.

"There's something wrong with the cross!"

Qin Feng noticed the cross was part of the Sacrificial Array.

Because the aura of the entire Ten Thousand Soul Mountain, once freely moving, was now continuously gathering towards the black cross.

The black cross pulsated with an invisible halo of light.

This halo seemed like countless small, finger-length blue snakes endlessly crawling over the Empress.

"Out of the two groups patrolling, only four are Ninth Grade Grandmasters, seemingly not a threat. I'll draw them away, and you quickly charge in and escape with the Empress." Xiao Wu said.

She was about to act when Qin Feng suddenly pulled her back, furrowing his brows and saying, "Don't go!"

"Why??" Xiao Wu asked confusedly.

"Let's retreat first! Those chains can't be opened." Qin Feng frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, those chains should be 'Immortal Artifacts,' very hard to cut."

He saw a layer of shimmering power flowing on the chains and distinctly felt its aura, similar to Purple Star Immortal Energy.

This power seemed to be that of the legendary Immortal Artifacts!

With Qin Feng's power, he might be able to forcefully break it.

But here in Holy Soul Hall.

Breaking it would significantly deplete his Inner Strength and Energy, plus taking the Empress would make it impossible to succeed.

"...All right!"

Xiao Wu reluctantly said.

The two swiftly retreated along the original path, leaving Ten Thousand Soul Mountain, and reunited at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot.

Baili Qiurong and Poisonous Insect King White Ghost had already arrived at the gathering point.

Baili Qiurong was drawing the Array Map of Ten Thousand Soul Mountain, becoming increasingly solemn as he did, muttering, "This is the largest array I've ever seen with my own eyes, it might be very difficult to break..."

"Is there really no way?"

Qin Feng, just returned, lightly furrowed his brow.

The Immortal Artifact chains were difficult to break.

Now they could only rely on Baili Qiurong to break the array.

"The array is too vast; so far, it seems indeed impossible, but I haven't seen the full panorama, so it's hard to conclude." Baili Qiurong said, "Certainly, our understanding of the Ten Thousand Soul Mountain array is insufficient; even with more Gu Worms, we can't see the full picture."

"Then where's the way?" Qin Feng asked.

"Top of the Mountain."

Baili Qiurong said, "Only at the top of the mountain can I more fully understand the whole Sacrificial Array and then find a way to break it."

"That's doable, I have a plan, let's all take a break first, and tomorrow we'll enter Holy Soul Hall again."

Qin Feng said.

"Alright."

Baili Qiurong had kept his spiritual power focused on analyzing the array of the entire mountain for a long time, was mentally exhausted, and indeed needed rest.

At this point.

Qin Feng took out a tent to rest, but felt a bit troubled.

He only had one tent.

But there were four people.

"Uh... I'm sorry..."

Qin Feng said to Poisonous Insect King White Ghost.

His intention was for Baili Qiurong and Xiao Wu to sleep in the tent, while he and White Ghost stayed outside.

But White Ghost seemed to misunderstand, saying, "I understand."

Having said that.

He left alone to head out to a distant place...
