The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword cleaved through the Separation and Reunion Divine Light, which furrowed Master You Tan's brow, "Such demon swords really must not be allowed to remain in this world!"

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword wielded by Gu Ying was far less powerful than the one wielded by Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor. After achieving Human Sword Unity, slicing through her Separation and Reunion Divine Light felt easier than cutting through tofu. Gu Ying's blade was like a dull knife cutting through flesh—slow. Master You Tan's thoughts shifted, and the cleaved Buddha Light rejoined instantly.

As Gu Ying controlled his sword to slice through the Buddha Light, aiming to slay Master You Tan, Blood Rock Hermit and Poison Hand Mo Shen, fearing their senior brother might be bested, also unleashed their Flying Swords and Demon Blades, attacking from both sides.

Alone, even with the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, Gu Ying wasn't much of a concern for Master You Tan, but the addition of the other two changed the situation. She had to concentrate on emitting the Separation and Reunion Divine Light to block Gu Ying's assault and couldn't spare another two streams of Buddha Light to stop the other two.

The Daoist Techniques of Blood Rock Hermit and Poison Hand Mo Shen were also extremely powerful; she couldn't afford to take them lightly.

Su Yin and Yuqing unleashed their Flying Swords simultaneously, each confronting one of the attackers. Yuqing was better off—back when she was known as "Yu Luocha," roaming the world with "Lady Calamity" Deng Bagu, she had possessed formidable mana.

She had joined the master with skills, and although she was the junior sister, her mana was much greater than Su Yin's. She first used her Flying Sword to intercept Poison Hand Mo Shen's Seven Evil Demon Saber, then blocked his Black Sand with a Divine Merfolk Net, and finally unleashed Separation and Reunion Divine Light to clash with Poison Hand Mo Shen's Seven Evil Yin Divine Curtain. Black smoke and Golden Radiance clashed, yielding a stalemate where neither could overcome the other.

However, Su Yin couldn't compete with Blood Rock Hermit. His Flying Sword was particularly unique, with Taiyin Mysterious Frost Freeze Air on it. Once deployed, streams of freeze air shot out, condensing into countless six-pointed blood-colored Frost Blades, within which blood-red Lotus flowers bloomed, each hosting a Demon, howling in anger, emitting Demon Sound and spewing Demon Light.

Su Yin maneuvered several White Light Immortal Swords to battle, but within moments, her face tightened as her blood nearly froze solid!

Seeing her disciple outmatched, Master You Tan released Nine Heavenly Dragon Demon Suppression Swords to aid Su Yin, while Blood Rock Hermit shot the Seven Evil Yin Divine Curtain, which oozed forward like thick ink with a Treasure Bead and seventy-two Earth Evil Flying Needles mixed within it.

Shi Feiyang controlled his sword on the Dharma Platform to transcend tribulations. He influenced Gu Ying through the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword and then, through Gu Ying, affected Master You Tan and her disciples. Although Master You Tan herself had profound knowledge of Buddhist Law and was difficult to shake, the focus shifted to her two disciples. As Gu Ying forcefully cursed Master You Tan as "old nun," Master You Tan remained unaffected, but Su Yin and Yuqing felt that their master's insult was a tenfold disgrace to themselves, growing progressively more ruthless.

Master You Tan soon noticed this and kept reciting Buddhist mantras and scriptures, shining Buddha Light on them to prompt them to expel Devil Thoughts.

Yet Shi Feiyang played a masterful hand, transmitting demonic intent through the enemy.

Demon Heart lure Devil Thought; some are drawn from the enemy, others from loved ones, each with its tactics. Take a person who knows anger is wrong, yet if publicly insulted, slandered along with family in the crudest, most venomous, nauseating terms... It's impossible not to react with anger.

Those who don't get angry haven't been hit where it hurts. Even the most kind-hearted, when hit where it truly hurts, break defense.

Unless that person has truly achieved enlightenment, embodying "all things are without self" and actualizing the highest realm of "No-Life Dharma Tolerance."

No-Life Dharma Tolerance is the realization that "I" do not exist, my body is a temporal assembly of the elements, my thoughts but delusions arising from ignorance—nothing in the universe acknowledges my existence. With no 'I,' whom do you insult? By this point, there is no longer a need to tolerate; the subject is gone...

Although Master You Tan's Buddhist knowledge was profound, she had not yet realized it to this extent, or else she wouldn't have come today.

As for her two disciples, the gap was even more significant.

If it had been any other time and place, merely being insulted while vigilant could keep them clear-headed. Unfortunately, they were engulfed in dense Tribulation Qi, filled with innumerable tangible and intangible Heavenly Demons. These demons loved to kick those already down, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Spotting anyone leaning toward demonization, they would swarm over, combining their strength to cast the victim fully into the Demon Path!

This was the external force Shi Feiyang relied upon for his success with the Secret Demon Great Technique today. Without it, influencing these exalted beings would be impossible.

Tribulation Qi entered their hearts, Devil Thoughts penetrated their minds, and Heavenly Demons and Yin Demons stirred up distractions. Gu Ying, covered in such thoughts, was influenced without time for caution, upholding a single firm belief amidst the chaos: To kill that old thieving nun!

Soon, Blood Rock Hermit and Poison Hand Mo Shen were also influenced by demonization to varying degrees. Blood Rock Hermit mocked Su Yin verbally, pointing out her past as a nun who had broken the killing precept, her mediocre mana, her years under Master You Tan without mastering Separation and Reunion Divine Light. Now, in battle, she was like a chick protected by the old mother hen, You Tan. He jeered, when typically at home, did she still feed on old You Tan's milk?

"Back when you went missing from home, the old nun picked you up. With her Dao Level, she surely knew where you lived. Instead of taking you back, she brought you to her nunnery, made you a nun—unfaithful, unfilial, turning your back on your parents, disregarding morality. The Buddhist Law truly brings ruin to families, countries, and oneself... You aren't even as good as a corrected demon like the Yu Luocha..."
