Elder Peak.
The ancestral hall was engulfed in flames, illuminating the entire Elder Peak.
Inside were the memorial tablets of all past Ancestors and sacrificed disciples. Through the collapsed roof of the hall, Yue Changzi watched as the spirit tablets sparked and turned to ashes, feeling a pain as if his heart was being cut.
Ling Shanzi was on the verge of madness; among them was the spirit tablet of the previous chief elder of the Scripture Repository, his own master Yue Qingzi! She swung her sword and cleaved a nearby Demon in half, ready to leap into the Fire Sea.
Yue Changzi saw this clearly and shouted urgently, “Don’t go in!”
A group of people flew over from a distance, and suddenly a flash of light appeared. Ling Shanzi turned around abruptly. The beautiful face of Li Xiaolou came into view, but her expression was twisted with a malicious smile.
“I hate women the most; I’ll kill you first!” Li Xiaolou beckoned, and the Moonlight Flute flew back into her hand.
A drop of blood appeared on Ling Shanzi’s forehead, growing larger until it suddenly burst into a rain of blood.
Ling Shanzi’s head exploded on the spot. The headless body fell backward, a flash of golden light darting down into the Fire Sea below.
A faint female voice cried out in despair, “Master!!” and then fell silent.
Yue Changzi’s eyes widened in rage. “Demoness! I’ll fight you!”
Seventeen or eighteen various Flying Swords shot through the sky like meteors toward Li Xiaolou.
Li Xiaolou giggled, “You have many treasures; I only have one. Do you think I’m at a disadvantage?”
The Moonlight Flute shimmered with crystal light as Li Xiaolou suddenly vanished. The next moment, she appeared behind Yue Changzi, wielding a silk fan that she lightly waved toward his back.
All of Yue Changzi’s treasures were entangled by the Moonlight Flute. He suddenly turned around, determined to take a hit with his body just to get close to Li Xiaolou. His left hand reached for her throat while his right hand grasped the special belt that he never parted with at his waist.
Just as he touched Li Xiaolou’s throat, Yue Changzi’s movements suddenly froze, his entire body becoming stiff and motionless.
In the distance, the artifact entangled with the Moonlight Flute suddenly lost control, flying wildly everywhere, with some even falling into the hands of the Demon Sect Monsters. The Demons cackled and, instead of fighting, chased after the Crystal Lights as they darted around.
This meant that Yue Changzi had already fallen victim!
"Master!"
Ling Yizi, the eldest disciple of Yue Changzi, was entangled in a fierce battle nearby. His eyes widened as he ignored the dozen Soul Summoning and Spirit Refining Banners flying towards him and lunged at Yue Changzi. Just as he wrapped his arms around Yue Changzi's body, he suddenly froze as well.
The two instantly became like dark stone statues, their movements frozen, their fates uncertain.
Li Xiaolou floated a yard away from them and giggled, "How is it? The Gluttonous Bone Needle hidden in my Spring Breeze Silk tastes pretty good, right?" Then his expression darkened as he shouted, "Xiao Rushi, Buxueyi, are you two just watching? I've taken care of the two main ones; hurry up and deal with the rest to break into the Artifact Hall and Scripture Repository!"
Xiao Rushi and Buxueyi exchanged glances. Buxueyi threw a flirtatious glance at Xiao Rushi and said in a coy tone, "Third Junior Brother, shall we go?"
Xiao Rushi didn't even bother to hide his disgust; he snorted coldly and ignored the ambiguous Second Senior Brother Buxueyi, signaling his subordinates to fly down.
At the entrance of the Artifact Hall and Scripture Repository, only about twenty bloodied Elders remained.
Ling Xianzi looked grimly at her master in the sky who was now motionless and unknown if alive or dead. Gritting her teeth, she ordered, "The ancestral hall has been burned down; there's no need to guard it anymore! All of you go into the Scripture Repository and Artifact Hall; I will come to rescue Master!"
Steel Tooth bit down hard as Ling Xianzi charged into the sky.
The remaining Elders turned with tears in their eyes and cast their seals as they flew into the blue light of the Artifact Hall and Scripture Repository.
The Scripture Repository and Artifact Hall were shrouded in Restrictions that had been activated by Yue Changzi and Ling Shanzi when the Demon Sect first entered. However, there were no Restrictions on the ancestral hall because it was necessary to protect many Ancestor spirit tablets there, leading to sacrifices by Ling Shanzi and others.
Although the Elders flew into the Scripture Repository and Artifact Hall, they were deeply worried for Ling Xianzi outside. Seeing Yue Changzi and Ling Yizi frozen in a strange black statue-like form in the sky made many Elders unable to hold back their tears.
Li Xiaolou cursed, "Since you abandoned them, then fine! Let's kill the old ones first!"
The Moonlight Flute soared high and suddenly struck down towards the tightly embraced Yue Changzi and Ling Yizi.
In her urgency, Ling Xianzi couldn't break through the Demon to reach her master and senior brother, desperately shouting. The Elders below closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight.
Just as the Moonlight Flute was about to smash the two into pieces, a blinding white light flashed from the side, causing the Moonlight Flute to bounce back up.
Li Xiaolou was startled and turned around, her eyes suddenly flashing with strange dark red sparks. The Moonlight Flute flew back into her hand.
A proud white figure, accompanied by about twenty others, swiftly approached; before they arrived, their weapons had already reached.
Ling Yizi remained unharmed, having hidden within the Restrictions of Chengxian Pavilion, filled with a desire to kill countless Demons in retaliation. With the main forces of the Demon Sect surrounding Chengxian Pavilion, he couldn't escape. Yandao led the main forces away while Ling Xuzi ordered him to flee, but he refused to leave and immediately brought people to Elder Peak for support.
Li Xiaolou looked at the handsome and aloof Ling Yizi before her, feeling a stir in her heart. She activated Crimson Lips and smiled slightly. She believed this smile could captivate him, making Ling Yizi lose his focus; that would be the best moment to strike.
However, Ling Yizi had already heard from Li Hong about this Demon Sect's venomous woman. Even if she were truly a celestial being descended to earth, in his eyes, she was merely an evil and ugly demoness. He couldn't be bothered to look at her and suddenly struck out with Ask the Way, moving so fast it seemed as if he transformed into millions, sending countless spinning snowflakes as large as mats slicing towards Li Xiaolou.
Li Xiaolou's heart sank; her smile vanished.
With reinforcements arriving, Ling Xianzi finally reached her master and senior brother's side. She produced long silver ribbons and quickly wrapped them around them both, flying swiftly towards Artifact Hall.
Moments later, Yue Changzi and Ling Yizi lay in the familiar Main Hall of Artifact Hall.
Both were completely blackened, their jaws clenched tightly, faces contorted in pain like stone sculptures. It was evident they had been poisoned severely, with even their Nascent Soul and Golden Core contaminated by the poison. Ling Xianzi donned Ice Silkworm Gloves and retrieved many Antidote Pills, trying to feed them to her master and senior brother but couldn't pry their jaws open.
Their bodies grew colder and stiffer; gradually, the painful gaze directed at everyone began to fade.
"Master! Senior Brother!" Ling Xianzi cried out loudly. An idea struck her; she struggled to stand up: "I will go to Heavenly Pill Hall to find Elder Yao for a solution. You must hold on!"
"Don't go!" A sudden loud shout echoed from the corner. Everyone jumped in surprise and drew their Flying Swords, only to realize the voice was coming from a square copper mirror about a foot in diameter in the corner.
The copper mirror lit up, rippling like water, gradually revealing the figures of two people—Ling Xuzi and Spirit Stone.
This mirror had always been placed here, looking somewhat out of place among all the magical weapons in the hall. Ling Xianzi had thought it was for her master to show visitors how to use magical artifacts, but it turned out to have such a purpose.
Ling Xianzi felt a surge of joy; perhaps Elder Brother Zhangmen had a way to save her master!
"The Artifact Hall's warehouse has many refining materials. If I remember correctly, last time a Beast Cultivator Elder brought a large piece of Extreme North Ice Jade. Quickly hollow out the ice jade and temporarily freeze your master and senior brother inside. As long as your Junior Brother Chu Hong returns, they will be saved!"
After hearing Ling Xuzi's words, Ling Xianzi's face lit up with excitement as she picked up her master and senior brother and ran off. She even forgot to ask why Elder Brother Zhangmen was so anxious to find Elder Yao that he revealed the secret of the mirror.
Once the figures of the two disappeared from the mirror, the elders flew to the entrance, anxiously watching the battle between Ling Yi Zi and Li Xiaolou in the sky.
Li Xiaolou was already at a disadvantage.
She was simply no match for the combat genius Ling Yi Zi. However, she was not alone.
Breathless, Li Xiaolou felt her Yin Power surging uncontrollably within her and couldn't help but shout, "You’re all dead! Come at me together and kill him!" The last five words were shouted hoarsely and desperately.
A flash of blue light appeared as Xiao Rushi returned, laughing from a distance, "Sister Xiao Lou, take a break; I'll have some fun."
"Fun my foot! Everyone come together; we must kill him!" Li Xiaolou screamed. "Protectors! Are you all dead? Ignore those people; come over and kill this one first!"
She was determined to eliminate this cold man who treated her stunning beauty like dirt.
The protectors immediately abandoned the reinforcements that had come with Ling Yi Zi and turned to surround him instead.
"What is that?" someone suddenly exclaimed.
A thunderous roar echoed from afar, resembling a landslide, and amidst the thunder and lightning, a long dragon's roar shook the heavens. A black line raced swiftly from the horizon, growing larger and clearer.
Li Xiaolou almost forgot the enemy before him and exclaimed, "Divine Dragon!"
The silent Ling Yi Zi finally spoke, coldly declaring, "It is indeed my Nine Li Sect's Guardian Mountain Beast, the Black Abyss Divine Dragon. Once it emerges, none of you will be left alive!"
Without further ado, Ask the Way soared into the air, causing the air to suddenly thin out. The area within ten miles around Ling Yi Zi transformed into a dark abyss, with a chill penetrating to the bone. This was Ling Yi Zi's ultimate skill—Ask the Way.
The members of the Demon Sect hurriedly prepared for battle, yet their minds remained fixated on the increasingly approaching Divine Dragon.
The legendary Divine Dragon; they could not help but feel fear.
********
The Divine Dragon revealed its true form and swiftly flew toward Nine Vermilion Peaks.
As the massive and imposing dragon head loomed closer, Ironclad gasped in shock, nearly unable to fly. The guardians quickly pulled him away just as they collided with the main force of the Demon Sect led by the Purgatory Ten Kings.
All the demons halted at Ling Kong, gazing at this rare Divine Dragon that had not been seen in Middle-Earth for many years, feeling dizzy with awe.
The surroundings fell silent except for Chuxiong's boisterous laughter: "Black Abyss has come to take us!"
Black Abyss had flown above Nine Vermilion Peaks, lowering its gigantic dragon head. Its long Dragon Whiskers resembled small bridges resting on the roof of Green Pavilion. Something was moving on its back. Upon closer inspection, it was a White Cat, two Silver Pangolin-like Beasts, and a puddle of Black Sludge. The sludge occasionally twitched as if it were alive.
A mass of black mist took shape before the demons. Yandao Demon Lord appeared. Initially, his eyes surveyed the Divine Dragon with interest but quickly shifted to the puddle of sludge on the dragon's back.
A voice filled with astonishment emerged from the black mist: "Soul Devourer! You are actually here!"
The black mist suddenly expanded as the Purgatory Ten Kings witnessed Yandao Demon Lord's eyes nearly blazing with fury.
Yama lowered his head uncomfortably, feeling anxious as he tightly gripped the Celestial Artifact, the Judge's Pen.
"Alright, I'll settle the score with you later. The Soul Devourer is actually in the Nine Li Sect, alright!" Yandao Demon Lord was so furious that he was incoherent.
Of course, he was angry. Someone had ambushed Fengdu and stolen the Divine Slaying Monument, and by the time he arrived, it was already too late. When he tried to find the Soul Devourer, it had vanished as well. The Purgatory Ten Kings insisted that the Soul Devourer had been killed and disappeared, but now they discovered it was in the Nine Li Sect.
Many things were connected, and realizing that the trapped individuals were the Nine Li Sect Hidden Nine Sons, Yandao suddenly understood that the person who took the Divine Slaying Monument must be in the Nine Li Sect.
However, the aura of the Divine Slaying Monument was not present in the Nine Li Sect; if it were, Yandao knew he would definitely sense it.
His mind raced, and Yandao Demon Lord almost shouted, "Where is that Chu Hongzi?"
Many voices responded, "Chu Hongzi has not been found."
Atop the Nine Vermilion Peaks, Chuxiong was directing everyone to fly along Dragon Whiskers onto the broad back of Black Abyss when he suddenly heard the Demon Sect army calling out for Chu Hongzi. He couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Why are the Demon Sect people looking for my senior brother? He's not inside." Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly shut his mouth, secretly hoping that the people from the Demon Sect hadn't heard him.
Who was Yandao? He had already caught Chuxiong's words amidst the noisy crowd.
The black mist suddenly shifted shape, and in the next moment, it appeared right above Chuxiong's head.
