One Light Master lunged at Shi Feiyang, hindered by the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and for a moment, he could not break through. The golden light behind his head suddenly flashed violently, reversed and flew up, condensing into a Demon Mirror. A vast swath of Demon Light shot out from the mirror, meeting the Purple Qi obstructing its path and causing it to dent backwards significantly.

Shi Feiyang activated his Three Yangs One Qi Sword and the Five Elements Divine Fire to attack, swirling the Treasure Ruler to release six Golden Flowers that rotated around One Light Master.

The true physical form of One Light Master was still within the Underground Palace below. What appeared now was merely his Lifebound Demon, which allowed the Three Yangs One Qi Sword to slice through its body. The body swelled where it was cut, with the Five Elements Divine Fire wrapping around it from all sides, held back by the Demon Light he expelled from his mouth, maintaining a distance of three feet from his body.

However, he was unafraid of the Flying Sword or the Divine Fire, but feared the Pure Yang Golden Flowers emitted by the Yuan Yang Ruler.

These Golden Flowers refined by Guang Chengzi were best at warding off and refining demons, specifically designed to subdue various demons. One Light Master's only means to counter them was the Golden Lotus, which Shi Feiyang had destroyed earlier. As the six Golden Flowers rose, swirling around, they had yet to touch him but already began to affect his Divine Demon Body.

It was like humans feeling their hairs stand and skin numbing before an imminent lightning strike.

One Light Master's Lifebound Demon experienced a similar sensation upon encountering the Pure Yang Golden Flowers.

He sensed the impending Heavenly Punishment, and the Pure Yang Golden Flowers evoked a fear akin to that of heavenly retribution!

He dared not let the Golden Flowers come close, transformed into a red light, and plummeted downwards.

Shi Feiyang did not immediately pursue but helped the others attack One Light Master's disciples.

At this moment, a chaotic battle ensued; both sides released Flying Sword Magical Treasures, bombarding each other. The Demon Monks had the numerical advantage with over thirty individuals, but the quality of Shi Feiyang's allies was superior, especially a few formidable ones who overwhelmed many opponents.

Among them, Deng Bagu released the Snow Soul Pearl. Wherever its cold light touched, all Demon Fire was extinguished.

Huo Wuhai was furiously firing, his hands sending out thousands of fireballs, showering the sky with flames like scattering beans.

Su Xianxiang released his unique weapon from the Shushan World, the million Gold and Silver Sand Swords. When released, they transformed into million specks of gold and silver radiance, resembling a cascading rainbow tens of feet long, splitting and merging at will, continuously generating new forms, drawing everyone's attention. Any Barbarian Monk caught in it struggled to escape and couldn't last long before being shredded into pieces.

Among the Barbarian Monks were skilled fighters; some waved flags to unleash thousand-foot Demon Fires, while others repeatedly cast massive quantities of Yin Thunder. However, they ultimately couldn't withstand Shi Feiyang's side, especially after One Light Master decided to flee. With Shi Feiyang joining the fight, the Barbarian Monks were utterly routed, with only the six most powerful monks following their master and retreating disgracefully back to the Daoli Heavenly Palace.

Shi Feiyang instructed everyone to follow yesterday's plan, each heading for the demon palaces at different mountain flanks, "Each of these Demon Palaces is guarded by an incarnation of an Old Demon and capable disciples from the Demon Path, with cunning and unpredictable methods. Be very cautious not to fall into their Demon Realms.

While I hold the central control of the Great Sun Tathagata Golden Lamp Formation, to utterly break it, you must first destroy the four surrounding Demon Palaces. Everyone here is the elite chosen by your respective sects, leaders of your generation, and exemplary Sword Immortals. Strive individually, break this formation together, and slay the Old Demon!"

Upon hearing his commendation, they all felt a surge of boldness and collectively assured, "Please be assured, True Master; we will break the formation first then rush to support the central control!"

The groups previously arranged yesterday flew off in four directions, and Shi Feiyang with the remaining people descended to the Daoli Heavenly Palace.

This Demon Palace, built on the mountaintop, was extremely lavish, adorned everywhere with gold and filled with Seven Treasures. The floors were paved with silver bricks, and the furniture was all made of gold. There were golden marvel trees scattered around; the one Chuandeng Monk had used for the formation was unremarkable here by comparison, with randomly placed ones all equally splendid.

Each tree had hundreds to thousands of lamps, each lamp housing a "Golden Arhat" seated within, who loudly berated the intruders, like Shi Feiyang and his group, all forming seals and emitting golden fire lines as thick as thumbs.

Everywhere within the Demon Palace housed a Demon Lamp, not just the gold and silver tree lamps. Whether on walls, eaves, ridges, doors, or railings... The lamps varied in type, including hanging lamps, seat lamps, table lamps, wall lamps, ground lamps, and water lamps, enveloping every direction, with lamp fires everywhere.

At least a hundred thousand flames, each containing a Golden Arhat emitting gold fire lines, interconnected from every angle.

Presently, accompanying Shi Feiyang were only the last four ranked among the Seven Wudang Maidens. They used their Flying Sword Magical Treasure to resist, but while they could block one or ten fire lines, they could not withstand hundreds or thousands.

These four individuals had lesser cultivation, and their Flying Sword Magical Treasures and protective Treasure Light could not compare to others, struck simultaneously by countless fire lines, their swords and three Magical Treasures instantly melted.

Fortunately, Shi Feiyang timely released the Hongmeng Purple Qi, protecting them.

However, even the Hongmeng Purple Qi struggled to withstand the onslaught of so much Golden Light Demon Fire, barely holding for several seconds before starting to melt through.

Shi Feiyang quickly released nine golden flowers, forming a large circle to protect the four women inside.

The golden flowers danced, emitting large swathes of golden light melding into a golden aurora.

Golden light and fire shot from every angle, bursting into billions of golden sparkles, like the most beautiful fireworks in the world erupting fiercely, stars falling like rain.

Indeed, the Great Sun Tathagata Golden Lamp Formation was formidable. Had Shi Feiyang not acted promptly to protect them, the four Wudang women would have been instantly obliterated amidst the ten thousand intersecting golden lamp demon fire rays!

Shi Feiyang had anticipated such an outcome before arriving; he had sent the most capable to break the formation, bringing these four along to attack the formidable Daoli Heavenly Palace, naturally becoming a burden to himself. During the duel, he had to be distracted to protect them, which was undoubtedly tying his own hands.

However, since Shi Feiyang had brought them, they certainly had a purpose.

He said to the four women, "I will teach you a spell."

Seeing the chaotic demon fire spraying around, and the firelight raining down, the four women knew the situation was dangerous and were very anxious, yet they did not expect Shi Feiyang to teach them a spell at this time.

Shi Yuzhu remained calm: "Senior, we are inherently slow learners, and we're afraid we won't be able to grasp the divine and mysterious immortal technique you teach us in such a short time. Perhaps you could teach us after we victoriously return?"

Shi Feiyang smiled, "The cultivation technique I'm teaching is very simple; as long as one isn't a fool, they can learn it immediately."

He instructed the four women to sit back-to-back with crossed knees, facing the four directions of southeast, northwest, and do the spiritual formula with their hands, using the mental method Shi Feiyang had just taught them.

The four women began to practice according to his instructions. In fact, it was a set of cultivation techniques to stabilize the mind – very simple and straightforward.

Once they settled and concentrated, Shi Feiyang started casting, wielding the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, gathering the divine energy overflowing from the four women. Using the secret techniques of the Heavenly Secret Demon Technique, he solidified their primordial qi into their individual forms.

As the jade ruler waved, beautiful young women brimming with immortal energy appeared out of thin air – all images of Shi Mingzhu, Shi Yuzhu, Su Man, and Wei Yun.

At first, these images were very stiff. Shi Feiyang cast a wave of immortal energy, and the images started to animate, showing expressions of either smiling, frowning, being bashful, or being annoyed.

Holding the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler in his right hand, he controlled the outside demon formation lights and protected the four women's primordial spirits. With his left hand, he performed the Secret Demon Great Technique, continuously duplicating these girls' images like soap bubbles, instantly creating more than a hundred thousand. Though there were only four figures, each did their own thing – some combing their hair, some touching their temples, some covering their mouths, and some blinking, the expressions of the hundred thousand figures varied.

Having "created" these images, Shi Feiyang sealed the spell with his left hand, using the Heavenly Secret Demon Technique to stir the hearts of the people.

The "Golden Arhats" manifested within those lights were incarnations of demons, each light housed a demon, all of whom were selected by One Light Master according to personal details and tortured to death by various cruel methods. Their divine souls were then captured and refined into demons using demonic path skills.

They had been refined for many years, having completely lost their true nature, only knowing to blindly follow One Light Master's orders to fiercely wreak havoc, with their greatest desire being to inflict the various tragic assaults they had endured over the years onto others, devour their essence blood, tear apart their primordial spirits, and drag them into the lights, making them eternal, inescapable demons.

One Light Master had cultivated for a thousand years, causing countless deaths and destruction, and this was just the tip of the iceberg; otherwise, he wouldn't have been reduced to being subjected to heavenly punishment.

The demons harbored deep malice, empowered by the formation to shoot gold and silver demon fire, crisscrossing the sky, unstoppable, and invincible.

But Shi Feiyang knew that to control others with greed, one must have the heaviest greed, and to manipulate others with anger, one's own anger must be fiercest.

Demons that could transform into beautiful women or handsome men to tempt those with lustful hearts must themselves possess unquenchable lust; otherwise, they also wouldn't be able to infect others.

Shi Feiyang used the true forms of the four women to refine a hundred thousand heavenly demon shadows, pulling them out to tempt these demons.

The beauty of the four women goes without saying, especially Shi Yuzhu, who was not only beautiful but also possessed a heroic spirit.

The aesthetic preferences of demons differ from humans, even though they might have been human before. Beyond appearances, they focus more on whether someone's inner essence, energy, and spirit are strong.

The most attractive aspect of the four women to the demons was that they all came from the Wudang Sect, cultivated the orthodox mental methods of Mysterious Sect, and were complete maidens, which naturally made the demons salivate. The demon shadows refined by Shi Feiyang using the Secret Demon Great Technique greatly increased their allure.

Shi Feiyang sensed the divine intentions of more than a hundred thousand demons gathering here, brimming with intense greed.
