Su Jie chuckled, leaning back into the chair: "It's certainly nice, but I feel you're about to eat me."

Qin Yushang's expression was indifferent under the veil and said, "Watch, and I'll dig out your eyes."

"Beautiful things are meant to be admired. It's only natural to take a few more glances when a young lass looks so exquisite. If you truly don't want it, why not switch places? From here, you can enjoy the scenery outside. If a fight breaks out later, this spot is prime for observing."

Su Jie maintained his persona, stroking his chin, letting out a raspy chuckle.

Qin Yushang's eyes turned icy, her jade fingers curved, touching a droplet from the wine cup before flicking it.

The wine condensed into a bead, as bright as a pearl, due to the spiritual power being highly compressed, transforming what seemed like gentle spring water into a weapon that could pierce hard stones.

Whizz!

A few drops of wine shot towards Su Jie's shoulder. Qin Yushang intended to teach him a lesson without aiming to kill.

"The lass has such a fiery temper; this old man can't handle it."

Almost simultaneously, Su Jie lightly tapped the teacup.

Bang!

The tea inside surged up, forming a crystal-clear water curtain barrier.

The wine droplets collided with it, instantly dissolving into the water curtain, neutralizing the attack.

Eh! Qin Yushang's phoenix eyes squinted slightly, looking at Su Jie with surprise.

Though her technique wasn't profoundly high, any Secret Realm cultivator could execute it without using the Taoist Platform Realm's power.

Still, for Su Jie to block so effortlessly was beyond her expectations.

"Secret Realm, you're not a loose cultivator, are you? What's your identity?"

Qin Yushang slowly spoke; loose cultivators are generally those with low talent, unable to join cultivation sects.

They lack resources and talent, mostly stuck at the Second and Third Level of Yunling Realm, and many die without advancing beyond the First Level of Yunling Realm.

However, a strong cultivator at the Secret Realm level is a core force in any sect; for weaker sects, the Sect Master usually possesses Secret Realm level power.

If a loose cultivator can reach the Secret Realm on their own, their talent would be unmatched, unless indeed blessed by extraordinary fortune.

It's akin to comparing science talents joining prestigious universities with those unable to pass college entrance exams, self-taught by the public, magnifying the disparity tenfold.

Yet, miracles are exceedingly rare examples.

In the Da Li Dynasty, loose cultivators reaching the Secret Realm exist, though only a few, each being an unpredictable triumph in life, renowned throughout Da Li.

Qin Yushang hadn't heard of any loose cultivator named Su Jie, leading her to suspect Su Jie's identity was fabricated.

"Isn't the lass also at the Secret Realm? If you can be a loose cultivator, this old man surely can too."

Su Jie shrugged, realizing the opponent hadn't noticed his revealed power and instead speculated on Su Jie's identity.

"Hmph."

Qin Yushang snorted coldly, knowing she wouldn't get answers from Su Jie.

"This old man stands upright, fearing no shadows, unlike the lass, who masks herself and dares not show her true face; your hidden identity is overly conspicuous. Speaking of which, isn't this young lady here for the Buddha and Demon Struggle, seeking fortune?"

Su Jie crossed his legs, smiling as he commented.

An absolute powerhouse in the Taoist Platform Realm, her presence here was definitely not for sightseeing, especially at this time.

"It's none of your concern."

Qin Yushang looked displeased, feeling the other side was becoming presumptuous.

The conversation halted between them, as commotion appeared in the sky.

Above the vast clouds, patches of white clouds turned golden, a magnificent, solemn Buddha Light.

"Boundless Sea of Sorrow!"

From the void came a transcendent Buddha's voice, a colossal Buddha sat proudly amid the golden clouds, flanked by eighteen gold-plated Arhats, arrayed in a formation garnering everyone's attention.

Eighteen gold-plated Arhats, each Arhat had a few monks standing on their shoulders or heads; they were monks from the Western Regions' Esoteric Sect, each one's cultivation was at least at Secret Realm level, with two Taoist Platform Realm monks present.

And within the hundred-foot-tall Buddha's palm, A Yiti Jialuo sat barefoot on a dragon elephant, wearing a moon-white robe, clutching Bodhi Beads with the left hand, holding the Demon-subduing Golden Bowl with the right, donned in the Seven Treasures Kasaya, looking towards the Wanyu Sect Mountain Gate.

"Amitabha, today, I, A Yiti Jialuo, have long heard of the people of Chongzhou suffering under the Demon Path. My Buddha is merciful, unable to endure the world suffering from this demon plague, so I come here to slay demons and restore a clear sky in Qingzhou, for the benefit of all living beings."

A Yiti Jialuo folded his hands, a vast Buddha's voice like a bell ringing, resounded throughout the hundred-mile region, entering everyone's ears.

"It's here."

Qin Yushang gazed at the Sky Dome; perhaps this was A Yiti Jialuo's first true demonstration of his cultivation.

Su Jie cast his gaze over and saw the true face of A Yiti Jialuo, chuckling softly, "Quite impressive indeed."

In the Desire Sect, over ten thousand Chongzhou demon cultivators were utterly horrified.

Just hearing A Yiti Jialuo's Buddha's voice made many demon cultivators feel inexplicably affected, their spiritual power flow becoming sluggish.

The sect master of the Desire Sect, Yin Leibai, felt the invisible suppression of the Buddha's voice, coquettishly saying, "Little monk, what demons have you slain, what devils have you vanquished? clearly Chongzhou here is a paradise on earth. Why don't you experience it for yourself, things may not be as they seem."

Her voice was like a seductive melody, employing the Desire Sect's most powerful skill, "Illusion Desire Technique."

The Desire Sect is not skilled in direct confrontation, but they excel at bewildering the mind and illusion techniques.

Especially with Yin Leibai being a powerhouse of the Sixth Level of Daoist Platform, her ability in confusing the mind was exceptionally strong.

In the Sky Dome, the Western Regions monks standing on the backs and shoulders of the gold-plated Arhats, under Yin Leibai's "Illusion Desire Technique," had their hearts ignited with flames of desire, as if surrounded by countless charming women, showing infatuated smiles and bewildered eyes.

Even two monks of the Second Level and Third Level of Daoist Platform had dazed and struggled eyes.

"Go, wipe out these Western Region baldies."

"Dare to rampage in our Chongzhou, do you really think Chongzhou has no demons? Today, we'll use your Buddha hearts as appetizers."

"Haha, let's all go up together and leave them all here."

Numerous demon path experts moved simultaneously, they had long planned the battle strategy, with Yin Leibai first using illusion techniques to control the enemy, then everyone else would swarm in. The demon path doesn't care about numbers, securing victory is the real skill.

"Amitabha Buddha, just alluring bones, awaken."

A Yiti Jialuo was completely unaffected, merely chanting the Buddha's voice like a bell, echoing endlessly in the void.

He himself was familiar with the Buddha's voice, also proficient in the Gu Huo skill, and with the Bodhi Beads from the Holy Bodhi Tree on his left hand, calming the mind and banishing heart demons were just basic abilities, Yin Leibai's illusion techniques were too elementary for him.

Under the Buddha's voice, those Western Regions monks were snapped out of their illusions as if struck by a thunderbolt.

And at this moment, Chongzhou's group of demons had already killed their way close.

"The Blood Sea is boundless, forever drown in it."

The sect master of Blood Demon Cave, Jiang Jin at the Fifth Level of Daoist Platform, sneered, a crimson Blood Sea surging from him.

Scarlet blood gathered into rivers, like blood-red chains, entwining towards A Yiti Jialuo and the monks, aiming to slaughter and annihilate them.

His Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill had reached the sixth realm level, any cultivator of the same level caught in it would meet either death or injury.

A Daoist Platform level expert from the Li Huo Association, wielding a top-grade magic treasure, the Netherworld Fire Bone Banner, swung it, emitting ghostly blue flames that obscured the sky, accompanied by wails and howls, burning everything to white ash in its path.

Hidden Realm Elders from the White Bone Tower formed a Twelve True Demon Slaying Immortal Formation together, and as the formation was completed, twelve fierce demon phantoms soared, brandishing claws and fangs, unleashing fearsome might.

Experts from the Eagle Poison Hall released invisible and colorless deadly poison, silently spreading, once poisoned, even a Daoist Platform expert would become weak and powerless, or even die on the spot.

A thousand layers of attacks rained down, with over ten Daoist Platform level experts, and over a hundred Secret Realm Elders, and ten thousand disciples, their various attacks made the void boil.

"Buddha Light Illuminates!"

A Yiti Jialuo clasped his hands together, not only invoking heavenly might but also fully activating the Bodhi Beads on his left hand, causing them to shine brightly, filling the sky with Buddha light illuminating the world.

The Blood Sea evaporated, the Netherworld Fire extinguished, fierce demons prostrated!

The Buddha light seemed to purge all filth from the human world, the powerful suppression made the demon cultivators present suffer greatly, the Buddha light was too oppressive for them, their cultivation could only exert six or seven tenths of its power, many Yunling Realm disciples were exposed to the Buddha light and their flesh melted like candles, directly dissolving into a pile of decayed bones.

Their participation in this level of battle was far too forced, not even worthy of being cannon fodder, casualties were heavy from just the aftershocks of the battle, truly effective resistance still relied on Daoist Platform experts, even Secret Realm Elders were unqualified.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

A few grim smiles appeared on A Yiti Jialuo's face as he hurled a punch.

The Bodhi Beads on his left hand moved with his swing, the hundred-meter tall Buddha behind him mirrored the action, striking with the same punch.

A Daoist Platform Second Level expert from the White Bone Tower's expression changed dramatically, immediately being blasted midair, blood scattering like rain, unable to withstand the blow.

The might of a single punch actually directly annihilated a Daoist Platform level expert.

The scene fell into a momentary silence, the next moment, more demons bared their bloodthirsty eyes, they did not believe A Yiti Jialuo could withstand so many of them.

A Yiti Jialuo had neither three heads nor six arms, even if he did, they believed one spit from each of them would drown him.

"Palm Buddha Country!"

A Yiti Jialuo adopted a solemn expression, he threw out the Demon-subduing Golden Bowl in his right hand, this low-grade Spiritual Treasure expanded to hundreds of meters in size, inside appeared to have countless Buddhas, Arhats, and Bodhisattvas sitting in meditation, chanting Buddha's voice in torrents, emanating terrifying suction, many demon cultivators didn't have time to react and were swept into the golden bowl, instantly refined into blood water.

A Yiti Jialuo was displaying great ferocity, his fists crashing down like mountains, with the innate spiritual object, the Bodhi Beads, boosting him, his power surged, playing out capabilities far beyond a mid-grade Spiritual Treasure.

In contrast, those Chongzhou demon cultivators suffered Buddha light suppression, finding it difficult to wield their strength.

With one increasing and the other decreasing, coupled with the Demon-subduing Golden Bowl controlling the scene, and the Seven Treasures Kasaya protecting himself, A Yiti Jialuo at this moment appeared to be evenly matched with numerous Daoist Platform demons.

But this was only temporary, while A Yiti Jialuo could fight, the monks who came with him were suffering. They were besieged by Chongzhou's group of demons, continuously reducing in number and being slaughtered, cries of despair filling the air.
