C1278 Struggle
1Soon, seven demon clan members walked out of the circle of light.
Seeing the seven demon clan members, Prince Wei Li and the other demon clan members couldn't help but have unsightly expressions on their faces. This was because the demon clan that came after them was none other than his younger brother Prince Rowan and his subordinates.
The strength of the demon race brought by the Prince Rowan looked to be about the same as that of Prince Wei Li and the other demon races.
"Rowan, why are you here?" Looking at the Prince Rowan, Prince Wei Li's face turned ugly.
If it wasn't for Rowan and his tribe, the demon fire on this island would have been his. Now, with Rowan, it would be different.
Thus, how could he be in a good mood?
Hearing Prince Wei Li's question, the Prince Rowan couldn't help but laugh, "Wei Li, who asked you to gather so many people. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have noticed this place, and noticed that you didn't follow your subordinates to enter the Thirteenth Secret Realm. Instead, you came to another secret realm."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "At that time, I was thinking that you must have found something. Sure enough, following you here is where you came from."
As he said that, he looked at the center of the island, his eyes glowing with a fiery light.
"Rowan, I'm meticulous in my actions. Of all my subordinates, only they know that I'm heading towards another secret realm. How could you follow behind me?" Wei Li frowned.
"Hehe, isn't that simple?" Prince Rowan snickered again.
"Could it be that one of you betrayed me?" Prince Wei Li's expression turned cold as he turned around to look at his six underlings.
He felt that if it weren't for these six underlings betraying him, no one would have known that there was such a place behind the 13th mystic realm and this demonic fire.
Being stared at by Prince Wei Li, one of his six subordinates thought he was being suspected, so he quickly said, "Prince Wei Li, it's definitely not me!"
"Prince Wei Li, not me!"
The moment this person opened his mouth, the other five people followed suit.
The guard then swept his gaze over everything before shifting his gaze to Rowan. He said in a cold voice, "Rowan, are you trying to sow discord?"
"Hehe, you naturally know if it's Wei Li or not." Rowan said proudly.
"Rowan, it's good if you come. We two brothers will fight until we die one day. So, why don't we take this opportunity today to finish this?" Wei Li gritted his teeth as he saw Rowan like this.
Rowan was about to reply when the entire island suddenly rumbled.
Amidst the tremors, countless runes immediately appeared on the Symbol Grammar Array that had faintly appeared before. However, it was different from before, the more the runes flashed, the more the Symbol Grammar Array seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Seeing the Symbol Grammar Array in this state, how could Rowan and Wei Li, the two princes, have the time to bicker with each other? Instead, they focused all of their attention on the Symbol Grammar Array.
The tremors this time lasted even longer than before, and did not stop even after the time it took to burn an incense stick.
But Lin Long could see clearly that the Symbol Grammar Array could not hold on any longer.
I'm afraid that after a while, it will disappear into nothingness.
Lin Long did not rush to the front of the Symbol Grammar Array like the demons, but stayed behind the gigantic boulder instead.
It was also at this time that one of Prince Rowan's subordinates suddenly attacked one of Prince Wei's subordinates who was closest to him.
By the time that demon clan member reacted, it was already too late. He was directly hit by a palm, which directly injured him.
"Rowan, you're really shameless!" Seeing this situation, Prince Wei Li couldn't help but shout out angrily.
However, he did not retaliate, because he could tell that the Symbol Grammar Array in front of him would collapse very soon.
Sure enough, after a while, the entire Symbol Grammar Array disappeared without a trace.
As soon as the Symbol Grammar Array disappeared, the demon clan members immediately rushed towards the center of the island like escaping horses.
Lin Long also followed closely behind these Spirit Demon beings. Due to his caution and the fact that the Dantian recording was hiding his presence, no one among these Spirit Demon beings noticed that there was another person behind them.
The reason why Lin Long wanted to do this was naturally because he wanted to see the sandpiper and clam fight to the end to reap the benefits.
Soon, the group of Monsters arrived at the center of the island. At this moment, they could see a small pond in the center of the island.
The water in the pool was filled with lotuses, making it look extremely beautiful.
When they looked towards the pool, their gazes couldn't help but freeze. This was because in the center of the pool, there was a lotus flower with a cluster of flames on it.
This flame was a ghostly blue and looked very strange.
Lin Long realized that this flame was almost no different from the spirit fire he saw in the Tranquil Heart Palace earlier. However, if he used his mind to sense this flame, he would realize that the energy contained within this flame was far stronger.
Looks like this is the Demonfire, Lin Long thought to himself.
Prince Wei Li, Prince Rowan and the rest of the demons only stopped for a moment. After seeing the demon fire, they immediately rushed towards it.
One of the spirit demons from Prince Wei Li's side rushed over the fastest. After a few ups and downs, he actually managed to pull a few meters away from the fastest spirit demon race in Prince Rowan.
However, just when this demon clan member was overjoyed and thought that he would be the first one to arrive at the demon fire's location, he heard a "dong" sound as he crashed into something.
After this collision, he was even repelled by some invisible force.
This situation caused all the demons to stop in their tracks. After a closer look, they realized why.
It turned out that there was still a faintly discernable Symbol Grammar Array in the pool. Because they were so focused on stealing the demonic fire, even Prince Wei Li and the Prince Rowan didn't notice this.
Although there was such a Symbol Grammar Array, they were not worried, because they could tell that the Symbol Grammar Array was not stable and they could even use brute force to break it open.
Just that, no one dared to do that, because the Spirit Demon beings on the other side were eyeing them covetously. If one of them were to attack the Symbol Grammar Array, wouldn't that mean they were giving the other side the chance to do so?
Therefore, all of the demons stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
After an incense's time, none of them dared to touch the Symbol Grammar Array.
"Wei Li, since this isn't the way, how about we attack the Symbol Grammar Array together and see who has the ability to obtain the demon fire inside?" Then, the Prince Rowan could not help but ask.
"That's fine too." Since there was no other way, Prince Wei Li immediately nodded his head.
"Alright then." Prince Rowan could not help but laugh, then suggested, "Then I will start with the countdown of three, and then all of us will attack this Symbol Grammar Array together. What do you think, Wei Li?"
"Alright!" Prince Wei Li said without the slightest hesitation.
After that, the Prince Rowan began to count. When he counted to three, all the Spirit Demon beings at the scene all released a palm strike towards the same spot on the Symbol Grammar Array.
"Bam!"
The palm strike was powerful, and produced a muffled sound. After that, the Symbol Grammar Array in front of his eyes started to shake violently.
However, it had not collapsed yet.
"Again!" The Prince Rowan said.
After that, all the demi-humans once again struck out with their palms.
"Bam!"
Another muffled sound rang out, but this time, the Symbol Grammar Array could not be broken. However, this time, it was obvious that the Symbol Grammar Array could not hold on any longer.
Thus, they struck out again at the same time.
After the third strike, the Symbol Grammar Array disappeared without a trace.
The moment the Symbol Grammar Array disappeared, all the demons surged towards the demonic flame.
It was still the Spirit Demon race who was the fastest on Prince Wei Li's side. However, with the small distance between them, how could the Prince Rowan's Spirit Demon Race give him a chance? In an instant, a few palms of energy struck towards the Spirit Demon race member.
When the demon clan member at the front saw that the situation wasn't looking good, he hurriedly activated his defensive martial skill.
As for the other Spirit Demon races of Prince Wei Li, they were naturally Prince Rowan's subordinates who attacked first.
Prince Rowan's other subordinates immediately retaliated.
All of a sudden, they, who seemed peaceful, immediately started a chaotic battle. Anyone who had the chance to approach the demon fire in the middle would immediately be forced back by the other demon clan members.
The strength of these demon clan members were on par with the others. Therefore, they could only surround the demon fire and fight intensely. No one had an absolute chance to take away the demon fire.
After fighting bitterly for a while, after a few of the Monster race members were heavily injured, the Monster race finally found an opportunity and arrived in front of the demon fire.
This demon clan member was one of Prince Rowan's subordinates.
After this demon clan member came to the front of the demon fire, he anxiously wanted to obtain the demon fire. However, what made him depressed was that he actually had no way to take away the demon fire like how he took away the normal demon fire.
For a moment, he was actually at a loss on what to do.
"Idiot, take the demonic lotus from the ground as well!" Prince Rowan quickly shouted.
The so called demonic lotus was the lotus flower below the demonic flame.
These lotuses were not something that other lotuses could compare with. The other lotuses had short lives, but because they were connected to the flames, they were inexhaustible, and had been growing for hundreds of years.
Upon hearing this, the member of the Demon Race immediately grabbed the lotus flower. Sure enough, with a grab, the lotus flower was also grabbed by the member of the Demon Race.
Once he got his hands on it, he immediately put the Demonic Lotus and the Demonic Fire together into his rune space ring, and then sprinted towards the outside of the pond.
Along the way, Prince Wei Li's other subordinates naturally wanted to block the other side, but they were all tightly entangled by their own opponents, so they had no way of stopping them.
Looking at this situation, the anxious Prince Wei Li had even wanted to fight his opponent, the Prince Rowan, to the point of him getting hurt. Who would have thought that the Prince Rowan didn't even think about dodging and was forced back by the Prince Wei Li's palm.
Of course, his palm also landed on Prince Wei Li's body.
With a muffled grunt, the two princes kept backing away.
Prince Wei Li wanted to take advantage of this time to chase after Prince Rowan's subordinate, but Prince Rowan didn't give him the chance, directly attacking him.
Swallowing the blood that was almost spurting out from his mouth, Prince Rowan attacked while laughing out loud, "Wei Li, don't work so hard, okay?"
Wei Li was so angry that his lungs were about to burst, but what could he do? He could only watch as Prince Rowan's men charged out of the encirclement.
"Rowan, if it wasn't for the shamelessness of your subordinates, you wouldn't have had such a chance!" Prince Wei Li said angrily.
Indeed, if it wasn't for him injuring one of his subordinates previously, causing his subordinate to be at a disadvantage in the chaotic battle afterwards, Rowan's subordinate would not have easily obtained such an opportunity.
"The art of war is not to be trifled with!" Rowan said proudly.
While the two of them were talking, Rowan's subordinate had already rushed out of the center of the island.0
