Yin Tong almost couldn't believe his ears when he heard the High Priest's words. He stood rooted to the spot, but then he suddenly turned his head and shouted.
"Quick!
Yin Liang, inform the patriarch. Yin Feng, evacuate the women and children. The rest, follow me out of the valley to meet the enemy! "
"Yes."
On the altar, seven or eight elders from the late True Immortal to the early Golden Immortal answered in unison with solemn expressions.
Below the boulder at the bottom of the river, Han Li could clearly sense the powerful aura of the other Golden Devourer moving rapidly toward them. He could even sense its intense anger through this aura.
"Jin Tong, how did you provoke it? Why can I feel its aura is very unstable, as if it's filled with uncontrollable rage?" Han Li asked in puzzlement through the telepathic link.
"I didn't provoke it much. I just wanted to ask how it feels to be able to see but not be able to touch it." Jin Tong replied with a smile.
"You can talk to it directly?" Han Li was a little surprised.
"I can only sense it a little when it's too far away. But at this close distance, I can talk through … something like telepathic link.
I don't know how to explain what's going on. In any case, you know that there's an invisible string tied between me and it, and neither of us can get rid of the other, "Jin Tong said with a helpless expression.
Han Li still wanted to say something, but he heard a deafening boom from afar. Immediately after, a violent shockwave rolled over, causing the entire river to churn up turbid waves and powerful undercurrents to surge at the bottom of the river.
At the same time, the huge three-hole stone arch bridge at the entrance of the Red Conch River Valley had already exploded from the center, completely breaking into two. The two ends of the broken crack were filled with people from the Lion Tribe, whose faces were filled with resentment.
Excluding the old, weak, women, and children, as well as the army that had gone to the Dark Star Canyon, these people were all the forces that the Hu Lion Tribe could mobilize. There were only four to five thousand of them.
"As the Lord of the Insect Race, why don't you dare to fight the Beast Race Coalition Army head-on? Instead, you want to sneak attack the Hu Lion Tribe?" Yin Tong led the crowd and hovered above the broken bridge.
Tens of thousands of feet away from him, a gigantic Golden Devourer Immortal whose body flickered with golden light flapped its wings and produced a loud noise.
He completely ignored the question of the Hu Shi clan elder. His cold eyes swept back and forth in the depths of the valley several times before he suddenly shouted, "Come out …"
His voice was so loud that it was like rolling thunder. It reverberated throughout the river valley and caused the cracks on the bridge to expand rapidly. Countless pieces of rubble fell from it, and the roaring river water below instantly lost its elegance.
"Who are you looking for?" Yin Tong forcefully stabilized his body. A trace of doubt flashed across his face as he loudly asked.
The Primordial realm Golden Immortal Devourer acted as if he did not hear it. With a flap of his wings, his enormous body immediately crashed into the valley entrance like a golden mountain.
"You're just a mere worm, yet you're bullying me too much!"
"My Lion Tribe can be killed but not humiliated!"
The expressions of Yin Tong and the others instantly went grim when they saw this, and they shouted out in unison.
However, Golden Immortal Devouring didn't seem to be paying any attention to these Hu Lion beings. Golden light flashed, and his body shot forth like lightning toward the entrance of the valley.
On the broken stone bridge, the Hu Lion Tribe members flew backward and retreated into the valley.
At the same time, a whistling sound was heard coming from tens of thousands of feet away from the entrance of the valley. Hundreds of gigantic strange beasts with the body of a lion and the head of a hawk were hovering in the air in three rows. They opened their sharp beaks at the entrance of the valley and let out strange cries that sounded like the cries of babies.
Among the cries were bursts of strange sound waves that were magnified along the trumpet-shaped valley. They blended into an extremely powerful sound wave that surged toward the entrance of the valley.
Although Han Li and Jin Tong were not within the range of the sound wave, they could not help but feel a sharp pain in their heads when they heard the sound. It was followed by a feeling of dizziness and nausea for a long time.
He was so shocked that he quickly waved his palm and transformed it into a spherical light curtain that enveloped him and Jin Tong, isolating them from the river and the surrounding void. Only then did he slowly extricate himself from the feeling.
The winding Red Conch Valley was wide and open in the valley, but it suddenly tightened at the entrance of the valley, and the terrain became narrow.
After the rolling sound wave was magnified through the layers of the valley, it suddenly increased its power by more than a hundred times after it was violently compressed at the entrance of the valley. It directly bombarded the head of Golden Immortal Devouring who had just rushed to the entrance of the valley.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out!
The rolling invisible sound wave suddenly exploded. It turned into countless fragments as if it was a tangible object. It surged in front of the entrance of the valley, and there were bursts of ghostly wails and wolf howls.
The advancing figure of Golden Immortal Devouring was abruptly stopped in place. A layer of white mist seemed to rise in its originally indifferent and clear eyes. It seemed that its consciousness had collapsed under the impact of the sound wave.
"Uncle, this Hu Lion Tribe really has some skills. I can sense that its Divine Soul seems to be seriously injured. I'm afraid that it will fall into a state of absent-mindedness for a while. Should we take this opportunity to kill it?" Jin Tong said to Han Li with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
When Han Li heard this, he was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said:
"The impact of such a powerful sound wave can indeed injure the soul, but it should be more of an injury to the body. With the strength of my soul, I might also be affected, but if I were to say that I would be absent-minded, it would definitely not exceed three breaths.
But look at it, it seems to have lost its consciousness. Is it real or fake? "
"Uncle, you mean it's pretending to lure us out?" Jin Tong asked in surprise.
"Let's not talk about whether it's pretending or not. Someone should help us to test it soon," Han Li said slowly.
Outside the valley, Yin Tong looked at the appearance of Golden Immortal Devouring. He only hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Take this opportunity to kill this thief."
In the sky above the valley entrance, the High Priest immediately cut his palm. Blood flowed out and soaked the magic staff in his hand. He then chanted a series of prayers in the True Spirit Language.
As the chants rang out, an extremely strange aura began to appear in the entire valley. A faint layer of blood-red mist began to spread and shroud the entire valley.
Within the blood-red mist, the eyes of Yin Tong and the other members of the Hu Lion Clan turned blood-red. At the same time, a dark-red light lit up on their cheeks and a strange beast totem in the shape of a wild lion appeared.
As the totem mark lit up, the bodies of the Hu Lion Clan members began to undergo earth-shattering changes. They grew taller and turned into giants that were over a hundred feet tall. The lion heads around their heads disappeared and their faces, which were originally no different from humans, became identical to those of lions.
"Kill …"
Following a series of wild roars, the members of the Hu Lion Clan charged forward and surrounded Golden Immortal Devouring, then charged forward.
Although their bodies had grown a lot bigger, they were still a far cry from Golden Immortal Devouring. Each of them waved their sharp claws and tore at Golden Immortal Devouring's body.
Clang clang clang …
A series of chaotic and sharp noises rang out. The golden light around Golden Immortal Devouring's body trembled, but it was barely damaged.
"Find his vitals!"
Yin Tong gave a loud cry and took the lead, charging toward Golden Immortal Shi's eyes that were covered with white mist.
The other members of the Hu Lion Clan also charged towards Golden Immortal Devouring's weak spots, such as the joints and the roots of his wings, under the leadership of the True Immortal Elders.
As he approached Golden Immortal Devouring's right eye, the blood-red totem on Yin Tong's cheeks shone even brighter. Layers of powerful Spiritual Energy surged out from every orifice of his body like a tidal wave and poured towards the sharp claws on his right hand.
The red light on his arm shone brightly and it expanded by a size. It looked a little out of sync with his body, but the explosive power contained within it was not something that anyone dared to underestimate.
"Heh, let's see if you can still put up a front with this attack."
Although Han Li was far away at the bottom of the river in the valley and could not see the battle outside, he could guess the situation at the entrance of the valley through the fluctuations of the World Essence Qi.
As soon as his voice fell, Yin Tong's terrifying attack, which almost used all of his strength, had already arrived in front of Golden Immortal Devouring. His white eyes even reflected Yin Tong's giant claw.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly turned, and the layer of white mist disappeared in an instant, replaced by the original cold and indifferent eyes.
Yin Tong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave with just a glance, and a chill ran down his spine.
However, the arrow was already on the bowstring, and he had no choice but to shoot.
He only had time to shout "Retreat", and his claw pierced towards Golden Immortal Devouring's eye.
"Clang!" A loud, sharp sound rang out.
A series of electric sparks splashed in all directions. The sharp claws tore open a hole about one hundred feet long on Golden Devourer's closed eyelid, from which a translucent liquid that looked like blood flowed down like a winding stream.
Golden Immortal Devouring's eyelids trembled slightly. When he opened them again, his limbs trembled at the same time, and they crisscrossed in all directions.
"Puff!" A soft sound was heard.
A nearly arc-shaped crystal light swept out from under his body, like several soul-reaping scythes, and swept in all directions. Wherever it passed, all things were wiped out.
Other than the few hundred people who had heeded Yin Tong's warning and retreated a step earlier, the bodies of the thousands of members of the Hu Lion Clan, including Yin Tong himself, were all split into two halves.
Golden Immortal Devour was clearly infuriated, and he wasn't going to let this go. He turned around and flapped the wings on his back rapidly. His massive body began to rotate violently on the spot, and he soon swept up a huge golden storm that swept in all directions.
Those broken limbs of the people of the Hu Lion Clan, and even their souls and Nascent Souls could not escape, were drawn into it, and were ground into powder. Even their blood was stirred into fine pink dust, and sprinkled over the valley.
The remaining people of the Hu Lion Clan fled all the way back to the valley, and stood on an altar with the High Priest in the valley, looking at the pink sky at the entrance of the valley with grief, indignation, and despair.
"There are still young children, women, and children in the valley. If we don't die, we won't have the face to see Lord Yin Shen.
With my blood, I burn my body, I ask Lord Jiuling to descend. "The High Priest sighed, and shouted at the top of his voice.
