At the summit of Peak, the Heaven and Earth Platform suddenly erupted with a brilliant red light, buzzing loudly as eight Coiling Dragon Pillars rapidly spun around the platform. The entire mountain trembled. Moments later, a strong flash of red light swept across, revealing over a hundred figures in hooded cloaks, all dressed in black. This was soon followed by another hundred...
Facing the Heaven and Earth Platform, at the twenty-eighth floor of Nine Separation Peak's Chengxian Pavilion, Spirit Stone and Ling Xuzi were eagerly discussing Li Hong's return. Suddenly, Ling Xuzi trembled violently and dashed to the window, hardly believing his eyes.
"Demon Sect! The Demon Sect Monsters have entered!"
He turned and rushed outside. Moments later, Zhu Feng Ling echoed throughout the Nine Li Cave Heaven.
"Enemy attack! Demon Sect enemy attack!"
Amidst Zhu Feng Ling's melodious music was Ling Xuzi's hoarse and frantic shouting. The entire Nine Li Cave Heaven shook three times.
The deep blue sky suddenly brightened, as if it were daytime.
Spirit Stone climbed to the window and strained to lift his head. He caught just a glimpse, and his pupils filled with countless black dots.
In just a breath's time, over a thousand Demon Sect Monsters had already teleported through the Heaven and Earth Platform into Nine Li Cave Heaven, like a black cloud of demons, densely covering the sky as they flew toward the Nine Li Main Hall and spread across the Jiu Li mountains. Behind them, the Heaven and Earth Platform continued to emit intense red light in waves, with more Demon Sect Monsters pouring in endlessly!
Spirit Stone's mind went blank as he fell backward, staring wide-eyed at the sky.
In his fading consciousness, he heard a sound like popping beans. The thick layer of Mysterious Iron plates was moving outward to cover all the viewing windows on the twenty-eighth floor of Chengxian Pavilion.
With a thunderous roar, Azure Light burst forth violently. Inside the secret chamber, Ling Xuzi activated the main Restrictions, enveloping the towering Chengxian Pavilion along with the Main Hall in a layer of substantial Azure Light.
"Junior brother! What's wrong?!" Ling Xuzi helped Spirit Stone up, his hands and lips trembling with urgency.
Drawing strength from somewhere unknown, Spirit Stone pushed him away forcefully: "Go kill the enemies! Don't worry about me!"
Without hesitation, Ling Xuzi turned and left; his figure vanished in an instant at the doorway. His distant voice reached Spirit Stone's ears: "I have activated the main Restrictions of Chengxian Pavilion. Stay here and do not move. I will return!"
With a loud bang, the Crimson Gate closed behind him. As Ling Xuzi exited, he struck with both hands at a certain secret spot on the neck of Black Jade and Black Jade Dragon and Phoenix Sealing Stone Beast.
A faint buzzing sound began, and the Black Jade Stone Beast started to glow from within, while the Dragon and Phoenix Stone Beast began to move. The first thing that turned was a pair of eyes, within which flickered a blazing firelight from the Nine Heavens Azure Sky.
Inside the reception room, the Spirit Stone listened to the increasingly loud sounds of battle outside, and the first image that appeared in its mind was the faces of Li Hong and his disciples Chuxiong, Chuxuan, and Chu Liang.
The Black Iron Cover had been moved to the edge of the window, leaving only a narrow gap. The Spirit Stone took one last look outside.
The Heaven and Earth Platform continued to flash with red light in waves. In the sky, thousands of figures in black had surrounded the Chengxian Pavilion and Main Hall. At the forefront were ten strangely dressed figures resembling lords from the Mortal Realm, adorned with golden crowns and jade belts. They slowly raised their hands, each holding an object that emitted a dazzling Crystal Light.
The Purgatory Ten Kings! They are the Purgatory Ten Kings!
The Spirit Stone closed its eyes.
With a click, the Mysterious Iron plate sealed tightly, plunging the room into darkness. Until Ling Xuzi returned, the Spirit Stone would see nothing and hear nothing.
********
At Nine Purple Peak.
None of Ling Xiangzi's direct female disciples were meditating; they were all gathered in their master's living room.
Several round tables were filled with beautiful brocade boxes, mostly in bright red, piled almost to the ceiling. There were also many open crates on the floor, revealing various exquisite red silk and brocade inside.
The female disciples craned their necks to look into the inner hall, chattering among themselves.
Someone called out, "Why aren't they coming out yet!" It was that small-eyed girl with a round face who always had issues with Li Hong.
She muttered, "Little Junior Sister is so full of herself; I really don't know what Elder Chu Hongzi sees in her..."
Someone next to her suddenly pushed her hard. The Small-eyed Girl was caught off guard and nearly fell onto the brocade box in front of her. She turned around with wide eyes and glared, "Who! Who pushed me?"
The female disciples looked at each other, shaking their heads. Someone quietly chuckled, "You don't fancy the Junior Sister, do you fancy the Fourth Senior Sister?"
The Small-eyed Girl's crush on Li Hong wasn't a secret; everyone here knew about it.
"Ha ha..." Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha!" All the girls burst into laughter, filling the hall with joyful peals of laughter.
The Small-eyed Girl got angry. Just as she was about to point out the person who mocked her, she heard the gentle voice of the Third Senior Sister, Chu Yan, from the entrance of the inner hall: "Sisters, the Junior Sister is coming out."
The Beauty slowly walked out.
She had her hair styled high in a Wang Xianji, adorned with a golden phoenix crown embedded with turquoise, and her head was decorated with red velvet flowers. Several long red tassels swayed at her temples. Her face was as radiant as jade, with cherry-red lips that were as bright as blood.
She wore a red embroidered golden wide-sleeved wedding dress and a high-waisted Eight Treasures Big Red Xiang Skirt. As she moved, a fragrant breeze followed her, and her accessories jingled softly. She looked like a celestial maiden descending to earth, exuding infinite shyness and grace.
For a moment, all the female disciples were mesmerized, falling silent.
Chu Xi's face turned crimson, almost dripping with blood. She reached out her delicate hand to touch her bright red wedding dress, her head bowed so low that she hardly dared to lift it. Her heart felt sweet and intoxicated.
Ling Xiangzi stepped forward with a loving smile. She looked at the disciples and said, "Chu Xi is the first among you to get married. In the future, whoever gets married will receive a wedding dress and a complete set of dowry from the Master. If you want these things for yourselves, you better hurry up. But let me remind you first: make sure to find the right person! Don't settle for someone unworthy or of poor character!"
She wanted to continue lecturing when the eldest sister Chulin suddenly laughed out loud and playfully retorted, "Master, look at what you're saying! Do you think your disciples would choose poorly after being influenced by you every day? They will definitely listen to your guidance."
"Oh dear! The eldest sister is already smitten and can't wait!" Small-eyed Girl Chuxia exclaimed.
"You little brat, just wait until I tear your mouth apart!" Eldest Sister Chulin approached Chuxia with a mock threat.
"Her mouth? More like a big mouth!" someone chuckled.
Chuxia was annoyed again.
The female disciples were laughing and joking together, even Ling Xiangzi couldn't help but chuckle, teasing her own disciples with a few jokes.
In the midst of the chaos, Chu Yan quietly whispered in Chu Xi's ear, "Fourth Junior Sister is jealous of you, so don't get angry. Today is your big day; you're trying on your wedding dress. Once Chu Honggong returns, you can pick a date to get married. Third Senior Sister is here to congratulate you on achieving your goal. No one knows better than me how long you've been looking forward to this day! Hmm, when you get married, I should change how I address you... What should I call you? How about Sister Hong?" Chu Yan teased, looking at Chu Xi with a mischievous grin.
The blush on Chu Xi's face had not faded, and now it flared up again. Her delicate hand slipped out from the long sleeve of her wedding dress to pinch Chu Yan's waist. "You just can't stop talking!"
"Don't move around too much; be careful not to tear your wedding dress!" Chu Yan laughed heartily and ran away.
The female disciples were carefree and laughing together when suddenly Ling Xiangzi froze, her expression darkening.
Just as Chu Xi was about to speak, she felt a sudden tightening in her heart.
The hem of her bright red wedding dress lifted as the cloud-like Chu Xi dashed out the door.
In the darkest moment before dawn, the sky was strangely brightening more than usual, and in the distance, Nine Separation Peak erupted with intense red light like lightning.
"The Heaven and Earth Platform has been breached by the Demon!” All the blood rushed to Ling Xiangzi's head, turning her face crimson. She summoned White Reed, leaping onto it and swiftly heading towards Nine Separation Peak.
At that moment, Zhu Feng Ling, accompanied by Ling Xuzi's frantic shouts, echoed throughout the entire Nine Li Cave Heaven: "Enemy attack! The Demon Sect is attacking!"
Without thinking twice, Chu Xi transformed into a beam of Crystal Light, chasing after her master. Now both Chu Xi and Ling Xiangzi were at the same cultivation level, both in the late stage of Transmutation. At this moment, she decided to fight alongside her master.
But just before she dashed out, Chu Xi glanced down at her bright red wedding dress, a pang of heartache flowing through her.
He hasn't returned yet.
He hasn't returned yet!
Why didn't the Demon Sect wait a little longer? Why now? As long as I can become Chu Hong's bride, even for just one day, why did it have to be on this night when he is away from the Nine Li Sect?
Anger slowly rose from the depths of Chu Xi's heart, growing stronger and stronger. All the color drained from her face, leaving it serious and pale. A faint blue light burned deep in her eyes, and the Azure Lotus on her forehead began to shine, eventually sparkling like a star on her snow-white, delicate brow.
But Chu Xi did not know that all she felt inside was a profound hatred for the Demon Cult and a deep longing for Li Hong.
The enemies were getting closer, and she could clearly see the snake-like faces beneath their hoods.
Her eyes narrowed as the long red wedding dress billowed behind her. A blooming fire-colored red lotus surged into the black demonic clouds charging toward her.
"Master, we fight side by side!"
"Good disciple!"
Ling Xiangzi laughed coldly: "You Evil Spirits who have entered here will stay!"
The White Reed suddenly grew larger, sending a brilliant light soaring into the crowd of black-clad figures, followed closely by a surge of Crystal Light.
"Kill them all!"
********
In Ghost Stream, Yun Jiuzi and Ling Yi Zi sat facing each other with their eyes closed, a large jug of wine between them.
After a while, Ling Yi Zi opened his eyes in frustration. "I lost; you drink."
"Haha," Yun Jiuzi laughed heartily, eagerly reaching for the jug of wine in front of him. A stream of white wine rushed straight into his mouth.
"We agreed that the winner only drinks one sip! No more!" Ling Yi Zi reached out to snatch it away.
Yun Jiuzi straightened his chest, and a burst of golden energy suddenly shot out, striking Ling Yi Zi's hand.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yi Zi's hand jerked back just in time to evade the blow, but he couldn't snatch the wine jug from Yun Jiuzi's grasp. He watched helplessly as Yun Jiuzi's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
After downing half a jug of Nine-Turn Soul-Severing Wine, Yun Jiuzi finally set the jug down and said with a smile, "Not bad! You've reached Nascent Soul and can actually dodge my strike! Let's continue."
"Hmph!" Ling Yi Zi replied irritably, "You drank half a jug in one go; you can only play one more round at most. This is boring; I'm done." With that, he pretended to stand up.
Yun Jiuzi laughed heartily, and with a quick glance, he reached for the wine jug, only for it to be snatched into Ling Yi Zi's embrace.
A smile appeared on Ling Yi Zi's face. "This half jug is my last stock. Let's wait for Chu Hongzi to return so the three of us can drink together. It's better than you drinking alone."
Just as Yun Jiuzi was about to speak, he suddenly froze. At the same time, Ling Yi Zi's expression changed dramatically.
The two exchanged glances. Ling Yi Zi exclaimed, "Impossible! The aura of a Demon cannot appear at Nine Separation Peak!"
Yun Jiuzi's face turned pale as he yanked the wine jug from Ling Yi Zi's arms and tossed it aside. "Run! It really is a Demon Sect Monster!"
The wine jug toppled to the ground, spilling half of the precious Nine-Turn Soul-Severing Wine onto the earth, disappearing into the soil.
A pool of black liquid formed on the ground, looking like blood in the dark night.
